Chapter 203: The Situation is Turbulent
On the same day, Liu Jian's scholar and Xiao Jing, the master of ceremonies, asked the Empress Dowager Zhou and Empress Zhang, within a few days, the palace began to change its guards, and the original pro-army of the forbidden palace commanded the twelve guards to withdraw from the palace in batches, and the Teng Xiang four guards and warrior battalions belonging to the imperial horse supervisor entered the palace to guard, the so-called "Teng Xiang four guards", which is the most elite forbidden army under the jurisdiction of the imperial palace and the entire Beijing Imperial City, full-time arch guard the forbidden palace and protect the emperor
At that time, the so-called Tianqin army Jinyi Wei has already changed its taste, becoming a spy agency directly under the emperor, when the emperor meets or travels, although the honor guard used is also a brocade army, but they are just some flower stands for façade, looking at Kong Wu is tall, in fact, vulnerable, really encounter any changes, the first to rush up to protect the emperor is Teng Xiang Siwei, they are the elite soldiers and horses who really protect the emperor
Ning Jin, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal, was ordered to enter the inner palace on duty, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities in the city and the Beijing camp also entered a state of alert, and the calm Beijing Division changed color within a few days
Some news has never been hidden, there are thousands of eunuchs in the inner palace, and no matter how powerful the cabinet and factory guards are, it is impossible to keep everyone's mouth shut
Jinyiwei and Dongchang have been frequently transferred in recent days, and countless Jinyiwei secret agents and Dongchang have been ordered to go out of Beijing and go to various towns in Daming to closely monitor every move of the feudal kings surnamed Zhu in the world
Qin Kan was also called, and he was no longer required to be on duty in the East Palace, because His Royal Highness had moved into the palace and was guarding his father day and night
The inside and outside of the palace suddenly entered a state of tension, any wind and grass may cause a fierce reaction from the forbidden army, during this time everyone became cautious The emperor is seriously ill and too young, it is the critical moment of the replacement of the old and the new of the supreme power of the Ming Dynasty, and there can be no slackness and sloppiness
It was not only the border of the Beijing division that was nervous, but also began to fight fiercely, and the swords were unsheathed
As soon as he rode out of Beijing, Yang Yiqing, the trilateral commander who governed Ma Zheng, and Miao Kui, the eunuch who supervised the army Yansui, set off to Xuanfu to strictly prevent the Tatar army from plundering the border
Because of the serious illness of a wise monarch, the Ming Dynasty entered a turbulent turmoil
After four or five days of being on duty in the palace, Qin Kan finally saw Zhu Houzhao in the palace
Zhu Houzhao was much haggard, his face was very bad, and the happy and carefree look of the past no longer existed, replaced by only a thick sadness and sadness
Watching Zhu Houzhao slowly walk out of the Qianqing Palace in a distraction, moving stiffly like a puppet, Qin Kan felt distressed for him
Every child does not want to grow up, but the cruel reality forces the child to grow up, until many years later, when he suddenly looks back, he is shocked to realize that the innocence and purity in his heart are becoming less and less, until it disappears completely
"The minister greets His Royal Highness," Qin Kan bowed and saluted Zhu Houzhao
Zhu Houzhao was full of excitement as if he had been called back to his senses, and when he saw Qin Kan with empty and wooden eyes, Zhu Houzhao sobbed a few times and cried out as if he had met a relative
"Qin Kan, father and emperor...... He ......"
Qin Kan sighed helplessly that some historical travelers can change, but the longevity of Emperor Hongzhi, Qin Kan is really powerless
Suddenly I hated myself, why didn't I learn some medicine in my previous life? Even if he can't save Hongji, it's better to let him live a few more years
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, he ...... God will definitely turn the tide of safety."
Qin Kan himself felt that the words of comfort were so weak
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were very blank, looking up at the blue of the sky, and the fear of being alone appeared in his eyes, his father is a mountain, if the mountain collapses, where will he go? Zhu Houzhao had never thought about this problem before, he just needed to make himself happy, but now he had to think about it...,
"Later...... What should I do? Zhu Houzhao wept with tears
Qin Kan sighed gloomily: "The only thing Your Highness can do is to be a good emperor, create a great cause that is not inferior to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and live up to Your Majesty and the world."
"However, my father is gone, and I am the only one from now on......" Zhu Houzhao said in a panic
"Your Highness and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as hundreds of millions of surnames, they are all looking at you, expecting you to bring them a better life"
"They're all looking at me and leaning on me, but what about me? Who can I rely on? ”
Qin Kan smiled: "Your Highness at least has friends, friends who never leave them, friends who share joy and sorrow, and those who rule the world are not necessarily lonely."
Zhu Hou stared at Qin Kan steadily, for a long time, his empty eyes finally regained some vitality, and he grinned and showed an ugly but relieved smile: "Yes, I still have friends, Qin Kan, we will be a generation of monarchs and ministers, and we will never abandon it."
"The minister is willing to die for His Highness"
"We don't have to die, we all have to live well, live enough to be a year old, when we are ninety-five years old, we will make an appointment to go out on patrol together, and see with our own eyes what it is like to govern a generation of Daming rivers and mountains, we spend five years to see every inch of mountains and rivers."
"Minister, supreme honor! But five years may not be enough ......."
"Why?"
"Because at that time, the minister may have laid down thousands of miles of fertile land for you, several times the territory, Your Highness's land is too big, if you want to see every inch, five years is definitely not enough"
"Ten years, twenty years, the bigger the better!"
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he and Qin Kan looked at each other and smiled, a pair of monarchs and ministers in the future, smiling proudly and arrogantly at the moment
After laughing for a long time, Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned red and he burst into tears again
"Qin Kan, actually...... I don't like to be the emperor, I really don't like it, I just want to be a generation, live happily every day, and have my father to support me in everything, make decisions for me, I ...... I really want to lend my life to my father for twenty years."
The emperor is a dream that the world hopes for but cannot reach, but Zhu Houzhao's dream is by no means the emperor, Zhu Houzhao's dream only has happiness two, and the "emperor" brings him only heavy responsibility and pain that is controlled everywhere, and it has nothing to do with happiness
The Ming Dynasty is a unique landscape in the long history, and Zhu Houzhao is the most eye-catching red maple in this landscape
