The distribution of the steward was arranged, and he sent his wife and son away that night. During the Chinese New Year, the family has enough goods, and everyone does not have to go out to eat, and try not to speak loudly, which will not affect the neighbors.

Chu Huaixian secretly went to the emperor's dormitory again, and saw the uncle of the second country guarding there. He understood that it was impossible to see the emperor, and came to find Zhao Cunzong at night.

The courtyard wall of Zhongshan Wangfu is not low, and the eldest prince of Chu is fortunate to have good skills, and he made an appointment with Zhao Cunzong to let him withdraw some guards first, so he came to Zhao Cunzong's house smoothly.

Knocking lightly on the window lattice, Zhao Cunzong opened the window from the inside, and when he saw Chu Huaixian turning in, he smiled first: "Good skills." Chu Huaixian was anxious: "Something big is going to happen, you are still skilled." ”

"What's the big deal? The Zhang family wants to rebel? Zhao Cunzong said, Chu Huaixian said: "It seems that you already knew, what precautions do you have?" Zhao Cunzong sneered: "I already knew what was the use, we can't help this confused queen mother." When I asked Uncle Erguo to lead the military power of the Soldiers and Horses Command Division, I knew that something was wrong. Taifu has hit the nail on the nail for this matter, why should I go again. I won't go here, and there are people watching near my palace. ”

Chu Huaixian looked at the hourglass: "When I came in, I saw that something was wrong around me. The weather was cold, and I lay in the snow for half an hour before I could get in. He brushed the snow on his body, told Zhao Cunzong what he saw in the palace, and then scolded the prince: "The eunuch has no son's things, and when he sees me, he touches it with his hand, this guard is really not good." ”

"Where did he touch you?" Zhao Cunzong couldn't help laughing. Chu Huaixian put his cold hand on Zhao Cunzong's hand, which had just come in from outside, and said in the tone of the prince: "What do you do at home every day?" Our family loves you so strongly, and it would be nice if I had such a son. ”

Zhao Cunzong was disgusted, so he couldn't think of laughing. Hurriedly shook off Chu Huaixian's hand: "Stay away from me, you have learned too much." Chu Huaixian also shrugged his brows: "Across the two palaces, I can also smell the stench on his body." You said he came slowly, and I was so sad. ”

Prince Xiao Zhao finally smiled: "If you can save the Queen Mother and the Emperor, you can save the Lord with yourself." Chu Huaixian was furious and stretched out his hand to punch: "You are stronger than me, stronger than me, it is most suitable for you to go." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were disgusted again, and then they were serious.

Under the candlelight, Zhao Cunzong said worriedly: "I also went to persuade His Royal Highness King Liang, and His Royal Highness is still angry at home. said that he was staring at it, and said that there was nothing inappropriate in the emperor's recent political affairs. This Zhang family, of course, will not expose himself now. I'm afraid that by the time His Royal Highness King Liang sees that something is wrong, they will have already finished their work. ”

"In my opinion, on New Year's Day, they are afraid that they will do it." Chu Huaixian pondered: "They trapped the queen mother and the emperor, coerced the son with the mother, and the mother with the son, in my opinion, ......"

The four bright and divine eyes touched together, and they all blurted out: "Zen let!" Zhao Cunzong gritted his teeth: "The Zhang family is afraid of a bad reputation, so they have this idea." The queen mother is in charge, and the emperor is in charge, which is reasonable. Chu Huaixian also gritted his teeth: "Now I just hope that the emperor will not agree, and it will be good to hold on for a while." ”

Zhao Cunzong was stunned for a while, and said to Chu Huaixian: "The day before yesterday, I was also forced to see the emperor once, and the emperor reprimanded me, but he had a very strange sentence, he said that I kept an eye on him, and he didn't have time to rest for a while." said that you want to show loyalty, why don't you go to the Taihe Temple to worship more, this is also loyalty. Zhao Cunzong, who took a deep breath, had to say: "Huaixian, before the first emperor went, he said a word to me, he said that if someone has two hearts, he will take him to the Taihe Palace, and shame him in front of the spiritual throne of the emperors of the past dynasties." ”

Chu Huaixian squinted his eyes and pondered, and Zhao Cunzong said in unison: "There is an edict? The two of them slowly smiled in the candlelight: "If there is an edict, it will definitely be aimed at the two ministers." ”

"You are now on duty in the palace, and you have to do this matter." Zhao Cunzong solemnly said to Chu Huaixian: "There are two guards in the Taihe Palace, there are two generals under my command, if you want to find them, you can find the two of them for convenience." ”

Saying the names of these two people, Chu Huaixian was not without admiration: "It turns out that you have been prepared." Zhao Cunzong was completely complacent, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I often think about myself at home these days, if I am not afraid of admonishment and not afraid of the queen mother's reprimand, I would not be like this if I followed the Taifu earlier." He said with a sad face, "You go by yourself, but be careful." See me again if there's anything. ”

The eldest prince of Chu spent another half an hour turning over the courtyard wall of the Zhongshan Palace, muttering in his heart that this wall was too high. Go home and change your clothes and dry them by the brazier.

Xiao Chu and Brother Yu were not there, so Chu Huaixian lived in the study for a long time. Sun Erhai is gone, Jinxi, Jincai, Duofu and Duoshou are tightly guarded, and Chu Huaixian will not find out if he goes out at night to bake his wet clothes again.

Before the Chinese New Year, Chu Huaixian went to the Taihe Hall twice. There are a lot of plaques in the hall, and there is no way to climb the ladder to see it, and the time to stay in it is not long, and on the day of the thirtieth, I have not found out where the edict will be.

The beams and plaques in the palace are high, and there is not so much time to climb each beam. Chu Huaixian was in a hurry, so he drew out the picture of the Taihe Hall at home and scrutinized it one by one.

On the first day of the new year, Chu Huaixian got up early in the morning and sighed at his clothes. Which one should I wear? It was not a good morning this morning, with dark clouds rolling down and snow falling, and the sky seemed to be pressing straight in front of people's eyes.

After thinking about it, he still put on tight clothes inside, and the eldest prince of Chu went to be on duty.

King Liang, who has been sulking at home, has to come today. If you want to be angry with him, he doesn't want to come yet. When Zhao Cunzong came over, he cautiously glanced at Chu Huaixian, and the two immediately separated.

When the golden bell rang, the officials came in. Chu Huaixian was on duty in the hall, watching the little emperor come out with wide eyes. In the past, sometimes the Zhang family also persuaded the Queen Mother to come out, but recently, the Queen Mother and the Emperor have never appeared at the same time.

The little emperor looked full of red light, and when he looked closely, there was anger and unwillingness in his eyes. He sat down in the palace and received the call of the hundred officials, and began to speak: "I am too young to govern the country. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, many of the officials were shocked, and they were people who did not know in advance; And many of them are happy with the Zhang family's henchmen. Seeing that there were one-third of the people who were happy, Chu Huaixian sighed, the Zhang family has been installing people in the six departments, and they have always been deputies. Now is the time for them to take down Shangshu Shilang and the others, and if they don't obey, they will take it.

Anyway, the six departments will not not be transferred, and they have the people who do things.

The little emperor continued to say Zen Rang, and the hall was quiet. “….... Yao Shun is virtuous, Zen is given to future generations, and I am a Zen position and prime minister. Tears flowed down the emperor's young cheeks, and he stared vacantly at the palace, where several pictures were painted.

In the eyes of the emperor, what he saw was the ancestors and ancestors, and what he saw was the face of the emperor before he left. "If someone has two hearts, there is an edict to beg for thieves in the Taihe Palace. King Liang and Taifu can be found watching together. ”

The little emperor looked at Zhao Cunzong desperately again, the edict, can you go and get it?

There was a sound of accusation in the hall, seven or eight generals and four or five doctors came out, nearly half of them died in the hall, several heads were splashed with blood in the Golden Palace, and the little emperor was so pale and frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

Under the heavy guard, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng coldly climbed the golden steps, looked down at the ministers under the steps, and said slowly: "I don't want to kill more, don't force me." The emperor knows that he is not virtuous, and he personally makes a Zen concession, and if there is someone who wants to die, I will not be soft! ”

His Royal Highness King Liang was on the side, and there were four or five steel knives on his neck. His eyes seemed to be about to pop out, and he looked at Prime Minister Zhang Cheng like he couldn't eat people, and muttered to himself: "It's me who is careless, it's me who is too careless." Although the steel knife was bright in front of him, King Liang was also angry: "Old thief, I fought with you!" ”

"Uncle Huang!" The emperor held back his fear, stood up straight, stopped King Liang with tears, and said: "I know that I am not virtuous, and I am willing to give in." Then he said to Prime Minister Zhang: "The prime minister is a generation of virtuous monarchs, and the founding of the country is full of blood, which is not a good omen!" ”

Prime Minister Zhang laughed and said with great appreciation for the little emperor: "It is worthy of being my grandson, like a person from our Zhang family." Don't worry, I will crown you the king of the county, and you will be rich and noble for the rest of your life. ”

King Liang desperately suppressed himself, and when he calmed down, he received the little emperor's vague gaze. This place of view, one is himself, one is Chu Huaixian, and the other is Zhao Cunzong.

What is the meaning? King Liang didn't understand. But seeing that Zhao Cunzong didn't come out, Chu Huaixian was calm, and King Liang was slowly able to calm down. These two people are definitely not people who will bow to Prime Minister Zhang. One is a general in the army, and the other is a strong kung fu, they don't move, they are afraid that they have ideas.

Prime Minister Zhang didn't let go of King Liang, he snorted heavily: "Uncle Huang is a fool, ....... someone comes" The little emperor stopped Prime Minister Zhang: "Prime Minister, on the fifteenth day, I will go to the Taihe Hall with the Prime Minister to tell my ancestors, and then go to the altar to sue the heavens for my own crimes, Prime Minister, at that time, you will be the Ninety-Five Supreme." ”

"Haha, what you're saying is, since that's the case, what should you do with Uncle Huang?" At this time, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng was also willing to let the little emperor take a step.

The little emperor looked at King Liang calmly, and said lightly: "Lock him in the palace, and don't let him leave a step before Chan Rang." Prime Minister, what do you think? ”

Of course, Prime Minister Zhang agreed: "Come on, please ask the imperial uncle to live in the palace." ”

King Liang, who was still thinking of finding someone to discuss after retreating from the court, was escorted away.

After going down to the court, Chu Huaixian heard about the palace where King Liang lived, and went to the Taihe Hall to take a few looks, and then left. was sullen at home, thinking about how to talk to King Liang. Someone outside the door replied: "Uncle Guo has arrived." ”

Uncle Daguo was full of spring breeze, and he came to Chu's house to see Chu Huaixian in person, to discuss a few important things.

"King Liang, you go and persuade him. went to a few people to persuade him, but he was all scolded, and he wanted to be martyred and let him die. However, my father said that if King Liang could ascend to the top and shout, the royal relatives outside Beijing would be shaken. ”

This is the first thing, the second thing, Uncle Dao said slowly like a drizzle: "Give a letter to Lord Taifu and ask him to come to Beijing to preside over the Zen ceremony." I'm afraid that Taifu won't be able to figure it out for a while, you should know his handwriting and write a few letters in his name. King Zhong Nan was recuperating in Beijing and has been detained. He sent his sons into the capital to relieve them of their military power. ”

The Zhang family is one link after another, and they dare to take this risk to become the emperor, and they have been thinking about it for many years.

In such a situation, Chu Huaixian could only agree first. Uncle Dao smiled and promised Chu Huaixian in person: "Give you a prince to be." After Chu Huaixian sent him away, he pondered in the room for a long time.

The letter can be written, and the letter can be contacted in cryptic language, but this letter must be read by Uncle Dao before it can be sent, so how to write cryptic language, Chu Huaixian is a little troubled.

Throw it down first and don't write it, and go to the palace to see King Liang first. His Royal Highness King Liang lived in the palace where he used to live in the palace before him, and it was still sparse with flowers and trees. From a distance, Chu Huaixian could hear him losing his temper in the room, roaring: "Get out, bastard who forgot about the first emperor!" ”

The door of the palace opened, and Chu Huaixian walked in in the light and shadow, and he said to King Liang calmly: "Your Highness, I am on the order of the prime minister to come to persuade you. ”

His Royal Highness King Liang, who was losing his temper, was stunned for a moment......
