Hearing the queen say this, Zhou Yanru's heart trembled, his heart was going to be bad, how could this tone be a little bit of a sign of summoning into the palace? However, Li Xin has already been arrested, once he is released from the cage, this person will not have to take revenge on himself like crazy?

"Please forgive the minister, the Son of Heaven is seriously ill and cannot be a director, His Highness is really not suitable to summon the border generals who are leading the troops at this time, otherwise I don't know how many troubles and incidents will arise!"

At such a time, Zhou Yanru also came out open-mindedly, no matter what, he had to stop the queen from summoning Li Xin, otherwise the means they used behind their backs would be exposed, in case the queen was a soft-eared lord again, the situation would be very bad.

If the crisis can be survived, the emperor's stroke may not be a bad thing for the Manchu ministers.

When Zhu Youzhen, the son of the Great Tomorrow, had just succeeded to the throne, he did have some atmosphere of the lord of Zhongxing, eradicated Wei Zhongxian's party, was diligent and simple, and compared with his father, he was a qualified and good emperor. However, the world is really impermanent, and the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more corrupt in his hands. The temper of the Son of Heaven has also deteriorated day by day, especially after ten years of Chongzhen, it has reached an outrageous level.

The important ministers of the feudal territory who were executed by the Son of Heaven could not even count them on two hands, and they had only been in power for more than ten years, and the first assistant who had been replaced had to be counted with two hands. Nowadays, officials in Beijing will say goodbye to their families every time they go to court, and I don't know if this will become a permanent secret.

Now it's okay, the Son of Heaven has suffered a stroke and is unconscious, the crown prince has not yet been crowned, and the one in power must be the queen. And the queen is a benevolent person, and she must be much better than her husband.

Not only that, but the boulder on Zhou Yanru's head has finally been unloaded halfway, at least if the queen wants to smoothly control the government, she is afraid that she can't do without him, the first assistant of the cabinet who has the merit of support.

Sure enough, the queen's voice replied sadly: "Since Zhou Qing said that it is not suitable to see, it is not seeing!" ”

Who knew that the prince, who had been crying silently beside him, suddenly interjected: "I often hear my father say that the only person in the world who can fight with the East is the Marquis of Zhenyu, and the son really wants to meet my first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Prince Zhu Cihong's words made Zhou Yanru's heart and liver pound suddenly, just pressed the gourd, why did he get up again? It is not a good sign that the underage prince has such a strong interest in Li Xin and such a good impression.

If those people kill Li Xin, after the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, I am afraid that the charge of murdering Zhongliang will be detained on his own family.

Fortunately, the queen reprimanded softly, and the prince was silent, and Zhou Yanru secretly wiped a cold sweat from his forehead.

After all, the emperor's stroke is a major event, and the queen ordered people to invite several auxiliary ministers in the cabinet, but she only said the names of two people, one is Liu Yuliang, who has been excluded for many years, and the other is Fan Fucui, who is known for his bad temper. Li Shiqian asked Hong Chengchou, but he didn't say a word.

Zhou Yanru reminded him, but the queen prevaricated lightly, "These two people, one is old, and the other is very ......."

The two important ministers hurried into the Forbidden City in less than half an hour, the queen, the crown prince, and the three auxiliary ministers stayed by the emperor's side all night, and several imperial doctors took turns to diagnose and treat them, all of them looked like mourning, even if they refused to say how serious the condition was, but anyone could see that the emperor's condition was afraid that it had deteriorated.

However, it rained overnight, and as soon as the sky was bright, the cabinet official sent an urgent military report, Yang Sichang had ordered the Shanxi New Army stationed in Shangqiu to cross the river to the south and attack Huguang in the name of pursuing Li Liu's rebellion against the remnants.

After seeing this report, Zhou Yanru's hands trembled for a while, when did this guy become so bold? Dare to move troops without a holy order? Then his heart moved, could it be that Yang Sichang had already been instructed by the emperor?

Glancing at the pale emperor on the sickbed, Zhou Yanru sighed secretly, now these will be difficult to know with the emperor's stroke. He didn't dare to be specialized, so he informed the queen and the auxiliary ministers of the news of Yang Sichang's mobilization.

The first person to react was Fan Fucui, "This, isn't this going to be a big mess in the world?" Then he said to the queen: "Your Highness, you must immediately stop Yang Sichang's action of crossing the river to the south!" ”

Liu Yuliang, who was side by side with Fan Fucui, only smiled faintly and was noncommittal.

When Empress Zhou heard that the sword soldiers were rising again, and the words flickered, it seemed to involve the marquis of Zhenyu, so she turned her face to look at Zhou Yanru: "What about Zhou Qing's opinion?" ”

Zhou Yanru definitely doesn't want Yang Sichang to make new contributions, otherwise after he returns to the dynasty with several big victories, he is afraid that he will not be able to do this position for long, and sooner or later he will give up his hand to Xian.

At this time, Zhou Yanru could not tolerate it, so he agreed to Fan Fucui's proposal without thinking that he must stop moving troops against Jiangnan, and at the same time, transfer Yang Sichang from Kaifeng back to Beijing.

When asked Liu Yuliang, Liu Yuliang only replied lightly: "Everything depends on His Highness, and the old minister has no objection!" ”

Zhou Yanru also hurriedly added: "The Holy One can't look at things, the prince is still young, and the ministers ask His Highness to hear it!" ”

After getting the opinions of several important ministers, Queen Zhou said: "I am a woman's family, everything in the outer court depends on the help of several Qing families, now the Son of Heaven is seriously ill, it is not appropriate to raise a sword again, you can order Yang Sichang to order him to immediately collect troops, as for the matter of returning to the dynasty, it depends on the situation, after all, the Liukou in Henan and Shaanxi have not been completely purged...... Although she kept saying that she was a woman, but after analyzing it one by one, even Zhou Yanru couldn't help but secretly applaud, Queen Zhou's insight was not inferior to his husband.

Who knew that Empress Zhou actually changed her words again and mentioned Li Xin, "Since the matter of the military report involves the military affairs of Jiangnan, and the Marquis of Zhenyu has the responsibility of guarding Nanjing, he should be summoned to the palace immediately to ask the right!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yanru complained again, this time he had no excuse or reason to prevent the queen from summoning Li Xin, but Li Xin was still in prison, how to explain it to Queen Zhou?

The eunuch who was standing on the side suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, last night, Long Live Lord personally ordered the capture of the Marquis of Zhenju, at this moment, I am afraid that people are already in prison!" ”

Empress Zhou really didn't know that her husband had ordered Li Xin to be arrested, and her mouth opened in surprise, and she hesitated for a long time before she said slowly:

"You say, is this the emperor's chaotic death after his illness?"

Asked like this, the eunuch panicked, hurriedly knelt down, and recalled for a moment before saying: "The slave and maid really don't know if it's a mess, but the slave and maid know that this is the will of the Lord of Long Live after he fell on his heels!" ”

Zhou Yanru never imagined that Queen Zhou would even dare to say the words of chaos, but the eunuch's answer obviously laid a solid foundation for the statement of chaos. He felt remorseful in his heart, could it be that he had worked so hard to make wedding clothes for others?
