Chapter 1256: Summoned to the Palace
Emperor Longqing trusted the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and at the same time he also remembered that the commander of the Jinyi Guard had received the great favor of Empress Lu.
He and Queen Lu claimed to be childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship.
However, when Emperor Longqing was the prince, he was only an insignificant and inconspicuous one among the princes of the previous emperors.
And Empress Lu was favored by the first emperor at that time, and her treatment was far higher than that of many princes and princesses.
She is recognized as the crown princess, when the first emperor chose a wife for the crown prince, she was still an adult, and she had already married the crown prince.
After Empress Lu became an adult, Emperor Longqing created one chance encounter after another, flattered her, and cared for her.
The girl who is as bright as the flower of Kaolin has fallen step by step.
The first emperor agreed to the marriage in front of their kneeling invitation.
It wasn't for his face, but that the first emperor couldn't refuse Empress Lu's request.
It is said that when the old prince was dying, he made three requests to the first emperor.
One of them is the autonomy of children to marry.
The first emperor loved Queen Lu and couldn't bear to force her to be the crown prince and concubine.
The commander of the Jinyi Guard used to be the chief follower of Emperor Longqing, and he has been following him.
He was completely aware of how he pursued the Lu family's daughter, and even made some arrangements in advance, and Emperor Longqing, who was unavailable at that time, asked him to do it.
Later, he competed for the throne and calculated that the crown prince of the first emperor was the same as the king of Qi, which annoyed the biological mother of the king of Qi who favored the harem.
The favorite woman of the first emperor did not stumble on him, and she was also cruel and ruthless to those who were loyal to him.
Once again, he caught the mistake of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and almost killed him with a cane.
Empress Lu came to his rescue.
Emperor Longqing recalled the past scenes and became more and more irritable.
"Your Majesty, do you want someone to sleep tonight?"
The eunuch in the worship room bowed outside and asked.
Since the mourning and remembrance of Empress Lu, Emperor Longqing has not been blessed with any palace concubines.
"Whatever you choose, you have a good temperament and are beautiful."
After waiting for a long time, Emperor Longqing's voice came from inside.
"The minions obey."
The eunuch of the respectful room didn't expect the emperor to use the word casual, who will sleep tonight, isn't it in his hands?
It was as if he had seen a large sum of silver flying towards him.
The chief eunuch secretly pouted disdainfully, still thinking about silver? It's good if you don't lose your head.
There is no news from the East Factory, and they are both eunuchs, and the chief eunuch naturally hopes that the East Factory can quickly verify everything this time, and raise his eyebrows in front of the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
In recent years, the East Factory has been crushed by Jinyiwei and has suffered a lot of stuffiness.
There is no comparison with the reign of the first emperor, Emperor Longqing did not believe in eunuchs, and the first emperor did not believe in Jinyiwei.
Whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, whoever has the trust of His Majesty can take the lead, they are all eagle dogs raised by His Majesty.
A young and beautiful beauty is sent in.
But after a while, Emperor Longqing commanded loudly: "Come in, carry her away!" ”
“……”
The chief eunuch was stunned for a moment, and Emperor Longqing said angrily: "Summoning Gu Zhan to enter the palace immediately!" ”
Holding on to the door, the chief eunuch did not sit on the ground.
The concubine beauty can no longer satisfy Emperor Longqing?
"Why don't you come in soon? Crying and crying, did I wronged her? Woman...... Not a few good things. ”
Emperor Longqing was extremely angry, and the eunuchs waiting outside hurriedly went in to carry away the crying and complaining beauties.
"Your Majesty is angry, the servant has already asked people to read the will, but the palace gate has been locked, if the Marquis of Yongle enters the palace smoothly, you still need to let the guards guarding the palace gate let him go."
"Take it."
Emperor Longqing threw a token to the chief eunuch, "You go and pick up Gu Zhan in person, tell the guards to shut up, and don't leak half a sentence." ”
"Your Majesty." The chief eunuch replied: "Even if the guards keep their mouths shut, they can't hide it from the middle of the night to summon the Marquis of Yongle, and many of the courtiers and nobles are staring at the Marquis of Yongle, and the servants suggest that it is better to generously summon the Marquis of Yongle to go to the imperial study, and you have a government account with the Marquis of Yongle." ”
It must not be in the emperor's bedroom to summon Gu Siye.
Emperor Longqing said with a smile: "You are quite considerate of Gu Zhan. ”
"Your Majesty's words are wrong, and the slave is for Your Majesty...... Besides, Yongle Hou's temperament, he has been wronged and slandered, can he come to find His Majesty? You will feel sorry for him, too. ”
The chief eunuch watched the scene of Gu Siye hugging Emperor Longqing's thigh and crying, Emperor Longqing gave silver and comforted, and never was cruel to Gu Siye.
"Just do as you say, by the way......"
Emperor Longqing was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Summoning Lu Heng, the Duke of Zhenguo, plus He Aiqing, Prince Heng." ”
"Except for Gu Zhan, the rest of the people went to the side hall to wait, and I have decided to see them again."
"Yes."
The chief eunuch sent people to the provinces again to summon them.
Except for Gu Siye, the people summoned by Emperor Longqing were all witnesses to the birth of a dead baby by Empress Lu that year.
However, Lord He's official position was not too high at that time, but he had already won the trust of Emperor Longqing.
The dead baby was buried by Prince Heng with the children of the clan, although it was not buried in the imperial mausoleum, but Emperor Longqing could not bear to let his flesh and blood be disposed of at will.
And Lu Heng had been standing outside the door at that time......
Emperor Longqing put on his robe and walked to the imperial study without taking a sedan chair.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse in the sky, and the night breeze is very cool.
Emperor Longqing, who was full of fire, felt comfortable.
With a palace maid leading the way in front of the lighting, Emperor Longqing saw the road ahead clearly and would not fall suddenly.
At night, the palace was silent, dead silent.
Emperor Longqing sighed faintly, the cool breeze made his head sober a little, and he couldn't conclude what Empress Lu had done by relying on Chen Ping, who was raised and protected by Chen Xun?
Maybe someone did it on purpose?
Emperor Longqing entered the imperial study, Lu Heng and Prince Heng, as well as Lord He, quickly entered the palace, and after the three of them met together, their expressions were even more solemn.
Master He asked in a low voice, "Is there an accident?" ”
Prince Heng said, "How can this king know? However, the palace is still calm, and there is no news of the transfer of troops, it should be just a momentary move of His Majesty......"
"Yongle Hou, hurry up, Your Majesty is waiting for you."
The chief eunuch was very anxious, Gu Siye walked too slowly, and Gu Siye got up even slower in the middle of the night, grinding, if it weren't for Gu Yao and Gu Jin accompanying him into the palace, now Gu Siye would still be lying on the bed.
Gu Yao and Gu Jin helped him forward from left to right, and Gu Siye nodded frequently, obviously dozing off.
"Recently, my dad not only has a bad stomach, but also has serious sleepiness."
Gu Yao explained, and the corners of the eunuch's mouth twitched, so it was better not to say it.
Lord He stood at the gate of the side hall, "Fourth Master Gu has arrived, there should be no more accidents, only he can let His Majesty extinguish the fire, we are safe." ”
Prince Heng snorted coldly, but he also had to admit Lord He's words.
"Lu Heng, do you know what's going on?"
"I don't know."
Lu Heng slowly sipped the hot tea, and the steaming mist blurred his eyes, "I don't think it's a bad thing." ”
