Chapter 200: The Ending
The ministers were drinking and enjoying the scenery, when they suddenly heard the sound of children crying in the distance.
In the harem, only one child dared to cry here.
There was some annoyance in Zhang's sick face, and he called the first year of junior high to ask him what had happened.
The first day of the new year should be rushed.
I saw that the eldest son of the emperor had to ask for a branch on the tree, and the nurse couldn't reach it, so she cried, and the nurse couldn't coax anything, and the child cried heartbreakingly, and the more she coaxed, the more she beat in her arms, and cried hard.
"My good grandmother, aren't you asking for your life, the emperor and the ministers are here, such a way of crying, this is tired of life, isn't it?" Hatsuichi stomped his feet and whispered, handing over the dust in his hand, trying to lure him to look twice and tease him.
Ke Xu cried so hard with his eyes closed, where he was willing to look at the dust in his hand.
"Let's go, get out of here, hurry." The first year of junior high school couldn't, so he had to snatch the child from the nurse and run to the back.
Cozy cried even more violently in the stranger's arms, and the entire imperial garden was instantly filled with the child's terrible cry.
Zhang really couldn't sit still, left his seat, followed the cry, and saw Chu Yifei running with the child in his arms, and stopped him with a shout.
Chu Yi, who was sweating profusely, hugged Xu back, knelt on the ground, and didn't dare to say anything.
"Ridiculous! It's not good to coax a child. Zhang stretched out his hand to pick up the crying child and patted him to coax him.
A child is a child, Xu didn't give the emperor a son at all, and still cried with his eyes closed.
Zhang slapped it a few times, opened his eyes to see the person he didn't like, and cried more and more.
"Your Majesty, give it to the concubines, this child is usually taken by the concubines and nurses, and it is rare to see a living, but now I have seen so many faces at once, I am afraid that I am scared." A calm voice rang out behind the crowd.
Zhang Wenyan, who was anxious, was relieved and hurriedly sent the child to her arms.
Cozy lay on his shoulder, cried a few times, and his voice gradually became quieter, and after a while, he stopped, and began to giggle with his calm hair.
Calmly bowed to everyone, and hurriedly left with a warm hug.
"It's a kid at the end."
"Sure enough, there is Long Wei, how can a child of ordinary size have such courage, crying loudly."
"The little prince is full of spirit, and he has dragon power at a young age."
。。。。。。
The ministers flattered, but Liao Zhanyu was silent, looked at the back of the calmly departed, and sighed slightly.
"Your Majesty, the little prince's biological mother has passed away for a long time, and he should find a serious place for the little prince, I have a precedent for this matter, according to the minister, it is not impossible to pass it on to the concubine Niangniang, according to today's events, the little prince is also quite dependent on the concubine Niangniang."
Liang Tianyou took the opportunity to play.
Zhang was speechless and glanced at Liao Zhanyu.
Liao Zhanyu made a compilation to the emperor and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is the emperor's family affair, and the emperor is the head of the family, he can do whatever he wants, and it is not a military matter. ”
When Zhang Wenyan heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes showed heavy melancholy.
He understood Liao Zhanyu's words, and Liao Zhanyu didn't seem to object to standing calm and being the last.
The adoption of the emperor's eldest son means that she is the future queen mother, and in this situation, if Zhang agrees, then Feng is calm and has no objections to the queen.
——————————
At night, the Imperial Study.
Calm still criticized, and Zhang still lay on the couch to rest.
In the silence, there is a little indifference.
After a long time, Zhang spoke softly: "Calm down, you are doing things in my medicine." ”
Calmly raised his head and looked at him in surprise: "Why did the emperor say this?" ”
"I made a lot of determination to confess this matter to you, I didn't mean to investigate you, it was a coincidence, you added red medicine powder to my medicine bowl, and the people at the clear water saw it, and gave me back and forth.
I didn't believe it, but that day, I hid in the Medicinal Diet Division, and I saw it clearly, and you did add something to the medicine bowl. Zhang said painfully.
"No wonder your condition has worsened in the past few days, it turns out that you haven't drunk the medicine I dispensed." Calm self-deprecating smile.
"If this medicine needs something else, why don't you tell me? And to add it secretly? I didn't want to doubt you, but you, you, you really disappointed me. Chapter desperate voice.
"Is this the kind of thing that the emperor saw?" Calmly took out a small cinnabar-colored cloth bag from his sleeve, grabbed the bottom of the cloth bag, and poured all the red powder inside on the dragon case.
Zhang glanced at the silence.
Calmly and dumbly smiled. The circles under his eyes are clearly red.
"Does the emperor know what this medicine is?" Asked in a calm and trembling voice.
Chapter is silent.
"It's the blood of the concubine! The emperor's illness is strange, the imperial doctor is tied, Zhu Changmao's medicine has no effect, the concubine is very anxious, and the emperor knows that the blood of the concubine can cure all kinds of poisons.
But if the concubine tells the world about this, won't it become food in everyone's mouths? A concubine, how much blood, how many people can be saved?
The concubines only live for the emperor, even if they are hot-blooded, they are naturally born for the emperor. never thought that the emperor would doubt the loyalty of his concubines.
The concubine is really desperate, it is better to die. ”
Calmly choked up, he reached out and swept the red powder to the ground, got up and slammed it against the pillar on the side.
"Calm down, I'm wrong, I shouldn't doubt you, it's me wrong." Zhang hurriedly got up from the couch and pounced.
It was too late, the calm head had already hit the pillar, the head broke the blood, and the man collapsed to the ground limply.
Zhang ran over barefoot, picked her up, red-eyed, and shouted: "Imperial doctor! Where is the Imperial Doctor? ”
When Zhu Changmao and a group of imperial doctors came, they had already woken up, and the emperor was covering the wound on her forehead with a handkerchief, the wound was not deep, and the blood was no longer flowing.
Zhang was still distressed, hugged Calm to the couch, and asked Zhu Changmao to come forward for diagnosis and treatment.
"Lord Zhu, the palace is fine, there is no need for diagnosis and treatment, you and other adults will collect the medicinal powder on the ground and take it back for testing whether it is toxic or not, and you can report back to the emperor if the results are out."
Calmly pointed to the powder on the ground and said.
Zhu Changmao glanced at the emperor suspiciously.
"Calm down, I'm wrong to blame you, it's me who is wrong, don't be angry, let Changmao bandage you well, beware of wound infections and scars." Zhang asked in a soft tone.
"These medicines are related to the emperor's safety, you must be cautious, have you heard?" Calm as if he hadn't heard Zhang's words, he still said to Zhu Changmao.
Zhu Changmao looked at the emperor.
"Calm down, I believe you're telling the truth." Zhang said softly.
"Okay, Master Zhu, take it back for testing and give birth to infinite branches, you can test it on the spot, gather the wisdom of everyone, and see if this powder is poisonous at the bottom." said calmly with a cold face.
Zhu Changmao still looked at the emperor.
Zhang looked desperate and nodded at him slightly.
Zhu Changmao just got up, called a few imperial doctors to come forward, picked up the powder on the ground and began to inspect it.
Previously, the emperor asked them to test the medicine he drank, saying that someone had added something else to the medicine.
The imperial doctors examined for a long time, but they didn't find anything else, and they were scolded by Zhang, so Zhu Changmao went to calm down and reminded her that the emperor had begun to suspect her.
In Zhu Changmao's heart, there is no one else who dares to add ingredients to the emperor's medicinal soup except calm.
But obviously, this is just another calm play.
Zhu Changmao and several people tested the powder for a long time, and finally unanimously determined that it was a powder made after human blood was dried.
They told Zhang about the result.
Zhang crawled to the front of the couch, clenched his calm hand, and couldn't cry.
Calmly turned his face to the side and ignored him.
Zhu Changmao led everyone out of the hall, and there was an infinite sigh in his heart.
This concubine is really a monster, with great wisdom and demonic power, and there seems to be nothing in this world that she can't do.
The emperor is now completely controlled by her, and she apologized to her in front of everyone, and she dared not to give the emperor face in front of everyone.
But the emperor didn't seem to be angry, but immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
It seems that her plan is about to succeed.
She deceived Sima Nan, she said that she wanted to stop and live well with the emperor was nonsense, she was still acting according to her plan, and there was no change in the slightest.
He heard that today in the Imperial Garden, even Liao Zhanyu, an old minister of the Three Dynasties, agreed that the emperor would make her the queen, and all the thorns in her upward path had been swept away.
The rest of the road will be smooth sailing to the top.
Zhu Changmao knew in her heart that she had controlled the emperor with drugs, so that the emperor could not survive and die.
Zhu Changmao's only remaining loyal and patriotic conscience in his heart made him try to find the source and solution of this drug.
It's a pity that according to his ability, he can't reach the half finger of calmness at all, and he can only determine the crime of calmness based on imagination, but he can't come up with substantial evidence to prove what she did in the medicine.
On the third day of June in the third year of Yongding, Calm was officially named the queen, and the eldest son of the emperor Xu was officially succeeded to the name of Calm.
Zhang's illness became more and more serious, so he simply handed over all the state affairs to be handled calmly, and moved to the Miaoyin Temple in the harem to recuperate with peace of mind.
In August of the sixth year of Yongding, after presiding over a sacrifice, Zhang died violently on the way back to Miaoyin Temple.
Legend has it that he was beheaded by an assassin with only his left arm, and there are also legends that he died of vomiting blood due to illness.
On the sixth day of September in the sixth year of Yongding, the eldest son of the emperor who was only nine months old succeeded to the throne, called Emperor Zhao, and the year name was Yongle, and the queen mother calmly listened to the government.
At that time, the general of the inner prison supervisor Guan Jinu rebelled, and was annihilated by the Northwest Army's Qian Shoumo in Taohuawu, thirty miles away on the outskirts of Beijing.
It is said that Guan Jinu fought bravely and unusually, and Qian Shoumo led 20,000 soldiers to trap him and the 800 Royal Forest Army in the peach blossom dock for half a month, but did not attack it.
In the end, it was a handwritten letter from the Queen Mother that caused the battle-hardened general to collapse and tie his hands.
In June of the second year of Yongle, the Empress Dowager calmly moved the capital to Suicheng on the grounds that the little prince was recuperating from illness.
Leaving Kyoto, where the political situation was complicated, the Empress Dowager turned the clouds and rain, commanded remotely in Suicheng, reused Liang Tianyou and a group of cool officials, and carried out bloody liquidation and treatment of loyal ministers in the court.
Even three generations of old ministers like Liao Zhanyu did not let go, they were all found for unwarranted reasons, and the whole family was sent to the Central Plains, and they were never allowed to return to the Central Plains.
In August of the fourth year of Yongle, the important positions in the court were held by the empress dowager, and the Xia clan was already struggling, and the only few remaining side branches and side veins were all prostrate at the feet of the empress dowager and bowed down.
In March of the fifth year of Yongle, the Guanhe River was flooded, the water was turbulent, but it did not break through the embankment to endanger the people, after the water retreated, a golden giant stone tablet appeared in the center of the Guanhe River, and a colorful phoenix proudly spread its wings on the stone tablet, as if flying above the dragons.
Folk rumors abound, and it was rumored that Providence wanted to produce an empress.
In April of the fifth year of Yongle, Liang Tianyou, the first assistant of the cabinet, led the ministers to the table, asking the empress dowager to conform to the will of heaven and the people, abolish Emperor Zhao, and establish herself as the emperor.
was sternly rejected by the Queen Mother.
On August 6 of the fifth year of Yongle, Emperor Zhao was seriously ill and died without medical treatment and returned to the west.
Liang Tianyou took the opportunity to lead his ministers to plead with the queen mother to ascend the throne on the grounds that the country could not be without a king for a day.
After the empress dowager resigned several times, on September 9, she ascended the throne and became the emperor, and changed the name of the country to Qing, and was called Emperor Daqing Leng at that time.
After Emperor Leng ascended the throne, there was an ugly-looking eunuch by his side.
This great eunuch was the eunuch of Emperor Leng, and he could act on behalf of the emperor, and even had the same authority and power as the emperor. But this person who has supreme power is a good man who governs the country, is strategic, and is not under Emperor Leng.
This matter is spread among the people, and there are many legends among the folks, and it is said that this person is the last bit of blood of the Xia family, and he is the son of the first emperor, and in order to enter the palace to seize the throne, he is willing to serve Emperor Leng from the palace.
It is also said that sooner or later, he will kill Emperor Leng and recapture the Xia family.
