Chapter 458: A Sign of Changing Heavens
Almost at the same time as Lu Wan and others were imprisoned, the emperor summoned the dukes, marquis, uncles, concubines, ministers, and officials of science and technology in Beijing to Tongzhou.
It was said that it was to agree on King Ning's crime.
Yang Tinghe was very cautious about this, and asked that only the officials of the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate should go with him, as for himself, he would never go to Tongzhou to risk his life, and it was difficult to guarantee that this was not an edict issued by Jiang Bin on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
There has been no news of the emperor for many days, and now no one knows the progress of Zhu Houzhao's illness, and Yang Tinghe is very worried about the situation that Jiang Bin imitates Zhao Gao and is forced to become Li Si after going to Tongzhou.
But then, Zhu Houzhao appeared in Tongzhou.
What are you doing...... Let the ministers of the DPRK and China cry and laugh.
It's actually a robbery of people's daughters again.
It seems that Zhu Houzhao's condition is fine, and he is even happier than before.
End of November.
The emperors, princes, and ministers agreed that King Ning's treason would be confirmed, and he would be sentenced to death, and Ling Chi would report to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao thought that the punishment was too heavy, so he was given death instead, and probably wanted to leave Zhu Chenhao with a whole corpse.
On the sixth day of December, Zhu Chenhao, a careerist who was born at an untimely time, committed suicide in Tongzhou, and then the corpse was set on fire, as for whether he died first and then burned, or was directly burned alive, no one knows, maybe some people are afraid that King Ning will bite out someone before he dies, this fire is very bizarre, and the final result is that Zhu Chenhao was directly burned into ashes.
A generation of traitorous kings is an ancient one.
When the news reached the capital, it was two days later, when Zhu Hao informed Lou Suzhen of the news, Lou Suzhen was expressionless, and she didn't even shed tears, maybe she had already guessed that this was the result.
Lou Suzhen has never supported her husband's rebellion, and there are a lot of disputes about it, what is the relationship between husband and wife before King Ning raises troops, Zhu Hao doesn't know, but it seems that Lou Suzhen has accepted her fate now, after all, from the perspective of outsiders, she is now a dead person.
If you can't protect yourself, what right do you have to feel sorry for others?
"The people of the Lou family ......"
Lou Suzhen was silent for a long time, and her eyes were a little more eager.
It is inevitable that King Ning's line will be wiped out, but the Lou family and King Ning are just in-laws, and Lou Suzhen hopes that her mother's family will be safe and sound.
Zhu Hao said: "For the time being, this matter has not implicated the Lou family, but it is difficult to guarantee that the case will not be expanded in the coming year...... Madame can rest assured that His Majesty's condition is getting worse and worse, and he is afraid that time is running out. ”
Only Zhu Houzhao was so concerned about tracking down the details of King Ning's rebellion, or the people around the emperor, Jiang Bin wanted to make a big fuss about this matter.
When the emperor dies and the side branch of the royal family ascends to the throne, King Ning's rebellion will be turned into a big thing, and a small matter will be turned into nothing.
"But the concubine heard that His Majesty is fine in Tongzhou, and he is still in and out ......of the market," Lou Suzhen said.
Zhu Hao shook his head with a smile: "Even a person like Madame can learn the news from the community, how much credibility is there?" If Your Majesty is fine now, why is this news spreading? ”
Lou Suzhen asked suspiciously: "Childe is saying that someone is deliberately spreading news to make the world feel that His Majesty is okay?" ”
"Hmm."
Zhu Hao nodded.
Now the people who are most afraid of the emperor having an accident, or those who are afraid that others will think that the emperor will have an accident, are Jiang Bin, Zhang Zhong and other ministers around the emperor, they have their current status and belongings by relying on the emperor's favor, if the emperor is gone, their end will come.
It was rumored that the emperor might have an accident on the way to the south, so they came to "self-proof", let the "emperor" go to the people to rob the people's daughters, and deliberately spread the news.
In their opinion, the emperor's reputation is not important, anyway, today's righteous son of heaven is already infamous, or can use some unbearable things to make the world think, this is the emperor who is messing around, who dares to think that this is actually someone in the name of the emperor, going out to make trouble and pouring dirty water on the emperor?
"Madame's Day mourning, if you need some sacrificial supplies, just tell the people around you, and they will help you prepare." Zhu Hao said.
"No need!"
Lou Suzhen shook her head calmly.
Although she pretended to be calm, it was obvious that she was still concerned about King Ning, especially her children, and when the two parted, Zhu Hao could clearly find that the corners of her eyes were red and her eyes were full of tears, but she deliberately covered up the sadness in her heart.
In Zhu Hao's opinion, King Ning has become an ancient man, and it is a great luck that you Lou Suzhen can save a life, what else can you do?
……
……
Forbidden City, Renshou Palace.
During the period from the end of winter to the beginning of the lunar month, Empress Dowager Zhang summoned Yang Tinghe three times in succession to inquire about her son's return to Beijing.
In the matter of letting the emperor return to the capital to recuperate, the position of the Empress Dowager Zhang and the civil officials is almost the same, for fear that Zhu Houzhao will be ill and will be taken advantage of by the ministers who control the military power around her to disrupt the country, the Empress Dowager Zhang hopes to persuade the emperor to return to Beijing through Yang Ting and the upstream and downstream.
Obviously, Yang Tinghe doesn't need to be reminded by the Empress Dowager Zhang, he has already done this, and the means he uses is to let the imperial doctor give a fierce medicine, it is really a "fierce medicine", don't you feel better, emperor? We're going to use some other means to drug you to make your body look bad, and then scare you to let you know that you have to recuperate to fully recover. Of course, our purpose is not to poison you, but to make you retreat.
It is to let the emperor make a choice between the imperial doctor and Jiang Bin and others.
If you believe in the words of the imperial doctor, go back to the capital, if you don't believe it, you can go to Xuanfu with Jiang Bin, anyway, you have often lived there in the past few years, it depends on whether you have the courage to bear all the consequences.
Zhu Houzhao is really afraid of death!
At a young age, being an emperor is enjoying it, and he hasn't had enough Huo Huo in his life, how can he be willing to die? Nothing else may be able to hinder the progress of his nonsense, but the condition of his body makes him fearful, three days after King Ning's death, on the ninth day of the lunar month, the holy driver set off to return to Beijing.
From Tongzhou to the capital, walked for nearly three days, on the afternoon of the eleventh day of the lunar month, the holy car and his party arrived in the capital, and entered the city on the same day.
In order to show that his illness is okay and to appease people's hearts, Zhu Houzhao gave up riding a luan when he entered the city, and instead rode a horse.
On that day, many people went to watch, but because the road was closed, most of the people could only look from afar, Zhu Hao also found a place to watch the emperor's grand occasion in the city, this was the first time he saw Zhu Houzhao himself, although it was only a glimpse from afar, but it was basically certain that it should be the emperor himself.
"It seems that the saint's illness is fine."
Su Xigui and Zhu Hao went together, and the two stood in front of a three-story window, across the street, and saw Zhu Houzhao fierce and swaggering through the market.
Zhu Hao nodded in agreement with Su Xigui's words.
Judging from the current situation, the emperor's condition has not progressed to the point of dying or living.
Falling into the water and contracting the disease, it is likely to be infected with pneumonia, this year there is a lack of antibiotics, pneumonia is already a very serious condition, and there may be repeated problems, but in the final analysis, it is the heavy metal poisoning caused by Zhu Houzhao's long-term use of pills......
If Zhu Hao really intends to assist Zhu Houzhao, he only needs to send the plant antibiotics he made to the palace, and Zhu Houzhao's pneumonia can basically be cured after about half a month of conditioning, but his heavy metal poisoning is not something that Zhu Hao can improve.
Zhu Hao didn't plan to be a courtier of the Zhengde Dynasty.
When the next Jiang Bin left behind infamy?
Don't mention any ability, as strong as Wang Qiong, just because he is in the Zhengde Dynasty, isn't he infamous through the ages? People who do not conform to the values of orthodox civil officials will be ruthlessly attacked, Zhu Hao doesn't want to be tied up with Zhu Houzhao, a foolish emperor, and he doesn't want to be poked in the back after death.
Regardless of whether Zhu Houzhao is strong or not, with his nonsense character, he is not suitable to be the king of a country and is not suitable for governing the country and the country.
It's too noisy, Zhu Hao feels that he can't cover it.
"Little master, do you think...... Your Majesty's side...... Fate is not ...... Belch? Su Xigui saw that Zhu Hao had been looking at the holy driving party in the distance, and couldn't help but ask tentatively.
Zhu Hao nodded: "Of course, there will be results in a few months." ”
"Oh."
Su Xigui smiled, "I hope everything is as the little master said." ”
Now they are very familiar with each other, as long as they don't say certain things, hint at each other, and know each other, they are all speculating about when the current emperor will die.
……
……
The news of the emperor's return to Beijing reached Anlu around the twentieth day of the lunar month.
At this time, Tang Yin had returned to Anlu with Zhu Si and his entourage for two months.
As prophesied by Zhu Hao, after Tang Yin returned to Anlu, his power was almost completely hollowed out, not only that, but even Zhang Zuo's Chengshi Division was completely suppressed by Yuan Zonggao's Changshi Division.
Now Princess Jiang only asks Yuan Zonggao about major and minor matters, and Tang Yin only has one chance to see Zhu Si after returning to Anlu, and he is not going to give him a lesson, but just routinely discussing the storage of autumn grain.
"Brother Bohu, there have been a lot of things happening in the palace recently, why can't I see you?"
Jiang Lun now receives more weight than Tang Yin.
Although Jiang Lun is not a long history, he is the nominal brother of Princess Jiang, and now Princess Jiang believes in this younger brother in everything, but she treats Tang Yin as an outsider.
Tang Yin smiled: "I've been busy painting lately, and I don't have time to be distracted a lot of times. ”
but there was a misery in my heart.
In the past, he would have quit a long time ago.
I was going to be the bright moon, but the bright moon in the Xingwang Mansion would rather take care of the ditch than ignore me, this is a great insult to the celebrities, when did I Tang Bohu suffer from this bird anger?
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Gone, gone!
This was his previous state of mind.
But this time he remembered Zhu Hao's advice, and knew that it was an eventful season, or that there would be a big event in the spring of next year, plus Zhu Hao left a bag for him as a backhand, and there was encouragement from Lou Suzhen...... These things made him feel that even if he was left out in the cold for a year and a half, it was not unacceptable.
Jiang Lun said: "Brother Bohu, I heard that Your Majesty has returned to Beijing, and there is news in the secret that Your Majesty is seriously ill, as if he fell into the water and contracted the disease on the way back from the southern tour...... After returning to Beijing, there is no news from the leopard room, will it be ...... Is it really going to change? ”
When Tang Yin heard these words, he couldn't help but feel excited: "The news is reliable? ”
"Of course it's reliable." Jiang Lun said, "I just want to ask you, if it is really a change of sky, is it a real dragon...... Is it going to be in our Xing Palace? ”
