In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, on the 11th day of July.

The main hall of the government, the side hall asks the political cabinet.

Qiao Mu was sitting with Zhu Houzhao, discussing political affairs with several cabinet ministers, and when he was talking about the matter of salt politics, a eunuch suddenly broke into the cabinet, and shouted loudly:

"Oh no, Your Majesty is bad!

Qi Qi Empress Niang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty suddenly vomited blood, and now he is in a coma!

The imperial doctor said that His Majesty's condition is critical! ”

Because the situation was urgent, neither Qiao Mu nor Zhu Houzhao minded the rudeness of this eunuch.

In the next second, they stood up with shocked and worried faces, and were about to go to Qian'an Palace to take a look at the situation, of course, Zhu Houzhao's side was indeed sincere, but Qiao Mu's side was not.

She's just pretending to be a habitual.

After all, she has been waiting for an extra month, just to wait for Emperor Hongzhi to die, and Zhu Houzhao will take the throne so that she can leave, and pretending to be shocked and worried at this time is just to cooperate with Zhu Houzhao.

Hearing that the emperor was critically ill, the old ministers who were sitting next to Qiao Mu naturally stood up one after another, saying that they wanted to go to see His Majesty together, which is also a normal practice, as long as the emperor does not die suddenly, there will generally be ministers, clans, queens and others waiting on the side before he dies, waiting to listen to his last will.

If you want to go, let's go together.

Anyway, Emperor Hongzhi has such a son as Zhu Houzhao, no matter how the succession to the throne is, there is no doubt about it, so naturally there is no need to worry about accidents.

The distance between the two sides is not very far, and they don't care about sitting in a sedan chair or anything at this time, almost all of them are trotting to rush over there, and they rushed to the Qian'an Palace after a while, and at the door, they heard the roar inside and the voice of the imperial doctor who wanted to kill the imperial doctor, which was obviously Queen Zhang.

Qiao Mu and they didn't care much about Empress Zhang's madness at this time, they just walked straight in, and then Qiao Mu casually ordered a imperial doctor, asked him to tell the details, and glanced at Hongzhi who was lying on the bed with a pale face.

"The Empress Dowager.

His Majesty's condition was not yet intact, and today he was stimulated again for some reason, and he spit out blood in a hurry, but now he has been injured and his foundation has been injured, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will be difficult to heal! ”

The Imperial Doctor did not dare to say whether he would die or not.

Can't live or something like that.

It's just that it's hard to treat.

"Why is Your Majesty in a hurry?"

Qiao Mu looked around at the palace maids and eunuchs present, and then looked at Empress Zhang and asked.

"Your Majesty is in a hurry, of course, because you wantonly meddle in the affairs of the government, and you have no blood relationship with Your Majesty, where do you have the face to meddle in the government."

Originally, Qiao Mu really didn't think directly about Empress Zhang, but now that she suddenly stood up and said this, Qiao Mu estimated that the reason why Emperor Hongzhi became like this, the possibility that Empress Zhang was the culprit should be eight or nine.

"The mourning family has been meddling for more than a month.

Sooner or later, now.

You think it's all your manpower.

No one dares to tell the truth, does it?

Wen Nei, come out, didn't the mourning family ask you to record everything that happened in the recent period into the living record, take out the living record and show it to the mourning family, see what happened just now, and make Your Majesty angry like this. ”

Qiao Mu arranged people to be responsible for secretly recording not to prevent this, she was mainly a little anxious about how Emperor Hongzhi hadn't died yet, so she specially placed someone to come over to monitor it, but there was no shortage of people waiting for Emperor Hongzhi, so she chose to choose and choose someone who was responsible for recording.

I didn't expect it to come in handy.

As soon as he finished speaking, an inconspicuous-looking little eunuch on the side hurriedly walked out.

Hand a booklet to Qiao Mu.

"Empress Tai, this is the record of the last ten days, and the record slave from ten days ago did not bring it."

"It doesn't matter, ten days is enough.

Stand behind me first. ”

Qiao Mu casually replied and began to carefully look through the booklet in his hand, the content of the booklet is actually very simple, that is, what Emperor Hongzhi took today, what he did, and what Emperor Hongzhi said, but the information revealed in this is really a lot.

A few minutes later, Qiao Mu finished reading the contents of the booklet in his hand under the interference of Empress Zhang, and handed the booklet to the other ministers around him: "Cabinet elders, please also take a look at the contents."

It's the fault of the mourning family, if it weren't for the mourning family to let the queen come over to take care of Your Majesty, you wouldn't have become what your Majesty is now, I can't say that now your condition may have improved, or even recovered. ”

That's right, Qiao Mu is an upright eye medicine, and what she said is right, according to the record in that booklet, Empress Zhang has not had a day without air Emperor Hongzhi these days, either complaining to Emperor Hongzhi about Qiao Mu today, or complaining to Emperor Hongzhi about Zhu Houzhao tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow she wants to give her two younger brothers benefits.

Just now.

Emperor Hongzhi has not yet vomited blood.

Empress Zhang actually told Emperor Hongzhi that she wanted Emperor Hongzhi to drive the Empress Dowager Qian down that day, and she would help her son Zhu Houzhao.

Originally, if there were similar words, Empress Zhang didn't say anything less to Emperor Hongzhi before, but she didn't say that she wanted the queen of heaven before, although Hongzhi was a little stupid in some aspects, but his cultural level was not low, how could he not know that the queen of heaven was the honorific title of Wu Zetian and Li Zhi when the second saint was in court.

His wife wants to be the emperor.

Originally, he was still sick, but he was suddenly stimulated by this, and then thought that his son was still young, and he was not born to Queen Zhang.

Naturally, there is some urgency.

And then, it became what it is now.

Although the cabinet elders present did not know the details, they still recognized the word Queen of Heaven, so after reading the contents of the booklet, they all looked at Empress Zhang with a surprised face, and some of them were even so angry that their faces turned red, and they raised their hands to accuse Empress Zhang of not being satisfied, and they even wanted to take the road of martial arts.

Although Empress Zhang still wanted to argue, everyone felt that the dialogue and words in the pamphlet were quite in line with Emperor Hongzhi's normal tone.

Empress Zhang's words are also in line with her temperament.

So no one doubts the authenticity of the booklet at all.

After waiting for a while, Emperor Hongzhi finally woke up and said the first sentence under the acupuncture that the imperial doctor had spent a lot of effort on.

It is even more convincing.

The contents of the daily life log are all true.

"Zhang, you can't be a regent......

The hundred officials should be witnesses, and their purpose should not go out of the palace. ”

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi said this, before she could continue, Empress Zhang suddenly pounced and wanted to cry to Emperor Hongzhi about the situation, but she almost completely ignored Emperor Hongzhi's body, and at once all the previous measures of the imperial doctor were scrapped, leaving Emperor Hongzhi unconscious again.
