Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager of King Zhang and the two palaces had already gathered in the Baoxiang Building at this time.

After the cannon sounded, the palace was immediately chaotic, after all, the Forbidden City has been peaceful for more than a hundred years, except for the battle of Yan Wang Zhu Di, it is the defense of the Beijing Division, and it has never encountered such a tense situation, the Forbidden City, actually suffered from artillery bombardment, and it is said that there are countless 'rebels, pouring in, the Janissaries have been defeated, almost unable to organize any powerful counterattack, in the panic, the two palaces moved here, but they were helpless.

"Huang Jin, where is Huang Jin's slave?" Empress Dowager Zhang knows how to measure, Huang Jin is a eunuch with a pen, this kind of thing, only by asking him can we know the reason.

A eunuch shook his head and said, "I went to the Great Gao Xuan Hall to meet His Majesty, and I never came out again." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "The most important thing at the moment is the safety of His Majesty, at this juncture, a sudden rebellion, it is impossible to say who is plotting rebellion, and I don't know what the intentions of the rebels are, right now...... Let's move to the Great High Xuan Palace. ”

The eunuch who answered said hesitantly: "Niangniang, I'm only afraid of the Great Gao Xuan Palace, and I can't go?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhang asked, "Why is this?" ”

The eunuch said: "The Great Gao Xuan Hall has been blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

The Queen Mother said angrily: "What does it mean that no one is allowed to enter or exit, this surnamed Zhang, has he cured His Majesty?" ”

"This ...... The slave doesn't know! ”

Syllable......

The Queen Mother slapped the queen mother, and beat the eunuch, and the queen mother said coldly: "Draw up a decree, let the imperial doctor go to the Great Gao Xuan Palace, order the guards in the palace, take down Zhang Tianshi, and the palace will also be moved. Also, immediately hug Zhu Zaiji. ”

The Queen Mother already felt that something was wrong, that Zhang Tianshi said that Jiajing's so-called illness was just a normal phenomenon, not a so-called disease, and she only needed to rest for a few days to be fine, but these words, at first the Queen Mother was quite convinced, because the Queen Mother was infected by Xingxian Wang and Jiajing, and she was also very interested in Huang Lao's technique, and for those living immortals and the like, she was also respectful and obedient, but now, she became more and more suspicious.

Zhu Zaiji was hugged in swaddling clothes, Zhu Zaiji's mother was just a concubine, the eldest son of Jiajing, born only a little more than a month, his body was weak, and he was born several times in danger, although he was the eldest son, he was only the eldest son of the emperor, so after he was born, he was not canonized as the crown prince.

And now, the queen mother looked at the sick Zhu Zaiji, her eyebrows furrowed, and she couldn't help but say: "God and Buddha bless, bless your father and emperor well, otherwise...... We orphans and widows really can't live. ”

Zhu Zaiji's physical condition is very poor, and he may die at any time, and Jiajing is up to now, just such a son, the queen mother's worries are very reasonable, the life and death of the Son of Heaven is uncertain, and there are rebels outside, if something happens to Jiajing, even if the rebels are not here to usurp the Ming Dynasty, relying on this Zhu Zaiji, how can he maintain his position in the palace.

The final result is very likely to be the same as that of Empress Dowager Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang also felt this atmosphere, she looked at Zhu Zaiji, and said: "Sister, this palace doesn't say something that shouldn't be said, this child ......."

The Queen Mother sighed faintly and said, "Swing the car, the Great High Xuan Palace." ”

It's just that at this time, it was too late, and a eunuch crawled over and said, "The rebels are coming...... Here it ......."

Someone else came and said: "Niangniang, the rebels stopped outside the palace, and the head of the household worshiped in front of the palace and asked for an audience." ”

The first news made the second empress dowager Zhang very frightened, but after hearing the first news, they made up their minds, and the queen mother said: "It turned out to be Xu Qian, he is not small." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "In any case, he still knows the rules and doesn't dare to bring troops in, sister, let's see him immediately, and see what he says?" ”

"Xuan!" The Queen Mother said with a cold face.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"The surname Xu has entered Cining Palace, he is alone, there is no need to be afraid of him, you can directly transfer a few henchmen to protect him and hold him."

In the Cining Palace, a eunuch was consulting with several janissaries.

The guards hesitated one by one, refusing to say anything.

The eunuch sneered and said: "What are you afraid of, as long as it is done, you will be a hero in the future, will Zhang Tianshi lose your benefits?" Now he is dying of his own accord, send it to the door, and take him first. ”

………………………………………………………………………………

Xu Qian entered Cining Palace, the reason why he did not bring a large number of guards, but just asked everyone to surround Cining Palace, naturally to let go of the doubts of the queen mother of the two palaces, after all, once he brought soldiers in, the meaning was different.

Of course, doing so is extremely risky, Xu Qian knows it in his heart, but he has to do it. He is equipped with a Qinci sword around his waist, and behind him are Lu Bing and Wang Zhu, who can enter this Cining Palace, only Lu Bing, the former Xingwang guard, the companion of the Son of Heaven, and the queen mother's nephew, bringing others is a rebellion, bringing these two people, the meaning is different.

Wang Zhu and Lu Bingju all followed with their knives, vigilantly looking at anyone they came into contact with, extremely nervous.

In front, there were thousands of figures, but dozens of figures appeared, these people had bad intentions, and under the guidance of a eunuch, they came head-on.

"Wait!" The eunuch screamed: "The miscellaneous family has a mother's mouth. ”

Xu Qian stopped, and Wang Zhu and Lu Bing behind him had already drawn their sabers.

When the guards on the opposite side saw it, they were not polite, and drew their swords one after another.

Xu Qian said lightly: "Niangniang has an edict, and ordered the official to enter the palace to meet her, what are you, and dare to forge a verbal message to stop the official?" ”

When he spoke, he was full of momentum, and in fact, he did have the ability to be full of momentum, and there were already too many people killed tonight, although Xu Qian's hands were not stained with blood, but this fierce murderous aura was sharp.

The eunuch said coldly: "Xu Qian, you are so bold, you dare to bring someone into the palace to rebel, left and right, take him down." ”

More than a dozen janissaries had come up in a fan-shape.

Xu Qian shouted violently: "Come and try it, if you want to be like those chaotic parties outside, come up without corpses." If you want to join the nine clans, the whole family will follow you to the funeral, so come up and try, and if you want to die, come! ”

This sentence was quite intimidating, and the guards were a little afraid.

In this case, no one knows whether what they are doing is right or wrong, in fact, no matter what they hold, their hearts are struggling and shaking, and everyone has an inexplicable fear of the future.

Now both sides accuse each other of being a rebel party, and both sides of the other side regard each other as a rebel party in a sense, but many things are self-conscious, at least these guards are a little shaken.

Xu Qian said lightly: "Outside the Cining Palace, there are three thousand elite soldiers in this official, and if the official injures a single hair here, these people will rush in, chop you into meat sauce, and kill your entire family." ”

The eunuch said, "Don't be afraid, he is just scaring us. ”

"Bang ......" A loud sound of a short bang came out, and Wang Zhu directly beat the eunuch into a sieve.

The short guns of this era, although they have undergone several improvements, are still, the range is extremely short, and they are still bulky, but the power of shooting at close range is still not small, and the eunuch's chest is black, emitting a scorching smell, and then he fell on his back.

Xu Qian shouted: "Get out!" ”

The last bit of courage of the guards was lost, and the birds and beasts scattered.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Empty...............

"Weichen Xu Qian, I've seen Niangniang."

In Cining Palace, Xu Qian fell to the ground.

The Empress Dowager Zhang and the Empress Dowager had a complicated attitude, and the maid next to them hugged the emperor's eldest grandson, who seemed to be frightened and cried.

"Xu Qian, what are you going to do?" The Queen Mother first glanced at Lu Binghe and Xiang Zhu behind Xu Qian, and her heart finally settled.

Anyway, Lu Bing, you can doubt his loyalty, but Wang Zhu is his own nephew, and it is impossible for him to follow Xu Qian to rebel, so ...... Thinking about it, there must be another reason, Xu Qian brought Wang Zhu here, presumably not to use force, but to explain something.

As long as it's an explanation, then don't be afraid.

However, the Queen Mother is such a smart person, although she knows it in her heart, she still asks loudly, showing the majesty of the Queen Mother.

Xu Qian hurriedly said: "Weichen has no form, so that the two mothers are frightened, and the ministers are dead." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and said: "There is no need to ask for guilt, Xu Aiqing is a smart person, now he is leading troops into the palace, what do you want?" Let's make it clear first, those who are here are all considered their own families, and if they are clear, they will be fine. ”

One is red-faced and the other is white-faced, in the face of the crisis, the two queen mothers have a tacit understanding.

Xu Qian said: "Wechen tonight, received the news from the cabinet scholar Yang Tinghe, Gu Yan said that there was a change in the palace, there were traitors Zhang Tianshi, etc., hijacking His Majesty, plotting against him, Wechen was anxious, and he didn't dare to slack off, and I heard that the new army and the captain of the Royal Academy had already been transferred out of Beijing, so I felt that it was wrong, and in a hurry, I had to deal with it with power, and Wechen died, and I asked for forgiveness." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang squinted her eyes and said lightly: "Is it the news of Yang Tinghe, a cabinet scholar?" ”

Xu Qian said: "The person who delivered the news is still in the Weichen Mansion, and the Weichen will never dare to deceive. ”

Call......

At this time, instead of breathing a sigh of relief, the Queen Mother's face became even more solemn.

If this is the case, then doesn't it mean that things have reached the worst, and the Son of Heaven is still in the hands of that Heavenly Master.

Now Xu Qian's words are conclusive, and Yang Tinghe has moved out again, although Yang Ting and this person Queen Mother may not believe it, but she knows the relationship between him and Xu Qian, how can the two of them join forces until the critical moment, then, the only possibility is that Yang Tinghe has already gotten the exact news.
