Zhu Yi came to visit?

Hearing the housekeeper's advice, Zhang Xuan understood that things were not simple, otherwise it would not have been so coincidental that Cao Jixiang had just left on the front foot, and he would have arrived on the back foot.

Don't look at Zhu Yi as a junior, he has long won the recognition of the veteran relatives in the process of fighting the border over the years, which is in stark contrast to some of the sons of the honorable relatives in Beijing who only know how to eat, drink and have fun.

Not only is it the former British Duke Zhang Fu, who envied Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, who gave birth to a pair of good sons, Shen Yichen and Zhu Yi, two brothers who are both civil and military, I don't know how many relatives have envied.

This led to the fact that even if Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, asked for the crime and won the title, no one dared to underestimate the Duke of Chengguo, and he still had to politely call him "Grandpa" after seeing it.

The reason is that the ministers of Xun Qi all know in their hearts that with these two brothers, the family road of the Chengguo Mansion is temporary, and the family road will definitely be able to prosper in the future!

"Pass him in."

"Yes, Third Master."

After the housekeeper received the order, he led Zhu Yi, who was standing outside the courtyard and waiting, in.

Seeing that in the British Mansion, there were also Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji and other ministers of honor, Zhu Yi did not have any surprised expression on his face, and said calmly: "The younger generation has seen your uncles. ”

"The lower officials have seen the two governors."

Zhu Yi's self-proclaimed juniors to Wang Ji and others are juniors, and the title of civil officials is lower officials, obviously telling the other party that he came to discuss matters today from the standpoint of his relatives, emphasizing the friendship between his fathers.

"I don't know what happened when my nephew came to visit today?"

Zhang Xuan asked with a smile on his face, he has a great relationship with Zhu Yi, it can be said that he grew up watching from a young age, and there is no need for both parties to be polite.

"The younger generation came here for Shen Yichen."

Although he had expected it in his heart, when Zhu Yi said Shen Yichen's name so directly, the ministers present still looked a little unnatural.

"Virtuous nephew, do you want to help Shen Yichen intercede?"

"No, the juniors are persuading your uncles to rein in the precipice!"

If it was just an unnatural look in front of him, Zhu Yi's words were quite unkind.

Yang Shan, the imperial envoy of the capital, had no friendship with Zhu Yi, and he immediately replied with a cold snort: "Zhu Tongzhi's tone is a little bigger, I don't know if this is what you mean, or what Grandpa means." ”

Zhu Yi is naturally not qualified to persuade this group of important ministers of the imperial court to "restrain the horse from the precipice", unless it is Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, who comes forward and uses the connections of the Xunqi group and the generals of the Nine Sides.

If it is Zhu Yong's words, then no matter how you say it, you have to give a little thin face.

"My father's current identity is inconvenient to ask about the government, it is the meaning of the lower officials."

Hearing that it was just Zhu Yi's admonition, Yang Shan couldn't help but look down on it a little in his heart, and he spoke: "Zhu Tongzhi, this official knows that Shen Yichen is your blood brother, but after all, he has not entered the genealogy of the Chengguo Mansion, and he is not a family. ”

"Disobeying the Queen Mother and plotting against the Emperor Taishang can be called a felony of killing the head. Family rules are bigger than national laws, if Shen Yichen can escape punishment like this, then where is the royal majesty and where is the dignity of the law? ”

Yang Shan is worthy of being a civil official, and his words can be described as heart-wrenching, and Zhu Yi is not qualified to intercede for Shen Yichen in public or private, let alone come to the door with this "warning" tone, did he think it was the eldest son of the prince of Chengguo who was in the middle of the day?

"Yang Duxian, then do you know what it means to be inviolable?"

"The official ......"

Facing Zhu Yi's rhetorical question, Yang Shangang was about to launch the three-inch incorruptible tongue that he was good at, but was directly interrupted by the other party.

"Uncles, is it just a coincidence that the juniors chose to visit at this time?"

When Zhu Yi said this, it was equivalent to telling Zhang Xuan and others that he knew the words of the Queen Mother's order, so he came to visit.

What makes people think about it even more is that according to the speed of Zhu Yi's visit, it is almost synchronized with the time when Cao Jixiang left the palace. In other words, when the Queen Mother conveyed the order, the news had already been released by someone with a heart, so it may not be just Zhu Yi who knows!

"Nephew Zhu Xian, go on!"

Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji realized the seriousness of the problem, so he raised his hand to stop Yang Shan's idea of arguing with each other, and let Zhu Yi finish his words.

"The Empress Dowager ordered your uncles to lead the Southern Expeditionary Army to suppress the Jingshi scholars who beat the drums, not only violating Emperor Taizu's words and unblocking the ancestral system, but also standing on the opposite side of the people in the world, and will definitely be discredited and investigated for responsibility in the future."

"Even in the future, the younger generation has already learned that Qian Xili, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Ni Qian, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and other civil officials are on their way to the noon gate."

"Uncles, do you want to wipe out the Qinggui of the Hanlin Kingdom and provoke the civil and military disputes of the Ming Dynasty?"

After the Empress Dowager Sun woke up, she felt the threat of Shen Yichenwei's infallibility, and was scolded by "Zheng Ben Shu", and finally let reason defeat anger. planned to listen to the advice of Emperor Zhu Qiyu, call on the Southern Expeditionary Army to suppress the Jingshi Shizi, and cut through the chaos with a quick knife.

But Empress Dowager Sun never imagined that she ordered Cao Jixiang to pass the word on the front foot, and the news was sent by Cheng Jing to pass it on to the ministers of the court and the Chengguo Mansion.

Hearing that the Queen Mother was going to send troops to suppress the Jingshi Juzi and the students of the Guozijian School, whether they were good friends with Shen Yichen or not, they rushed to the direction of the noon gate, intending to defend the dignity of Wendao!

After listening to Zhu Yi's story, even if he is as powerful as Zhang Xuan, he is in a cold sweat on his back after the cold winter at this moment.

If he really didn't resist the temptation of attacking the lord and led his troops to suppress the literati who knocked on the drums at the noon gate, then it would be equivalent to crossing the bottom line of the civilian clique, and the two sides would be in a state of incompatibility.

At that time, even the Queen Mother will not be able to resist the general trend of Wendao, let alone herself?

Compared with Zhang Xuan, who only thought of the civil and military disputes, Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji saw something deeper, he could spread the news so quickly, and form a "potential" force to oppose the Empress Dowager's decree.

I'm afraid that one Shen Yichen alone can't do it, even if Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, is added, he is still not enough.

This means that there is a higher-level force behind Shen Yichen who is promoting, who is this person or this force?

There are only a handful of civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty who have this ability, and the answer is simply about to come out, he is Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji didn't know if this was a trap set by the emperor, or a layout completed by pushing the boat. But no matter which one it is, it means that today's saint is no longer the dazed and weak servant king at the beginning of his accession, and is rapidly developing in the direction of a qualified emperor.

It seems that he is going to re-examine this King of Time, maybe his ability and potential will far exceed his original estimates!

"Zhu Xian's nephew came in time, and if he really took a slight wrong step, he would lead Da Ming into the abyss, Ben Bo thanked him."

Jing Yuanbo had already seen the ins and outs of the whole thing clearly, and he bowed his hand to Zhu Yi and thanked him.

On the surface, the dispute was whether Shen Yichen should be held accountable, but in fact, it set off a dispute between the imperial power and the rear power. If we continue to stand in line, there will even be a civil and military confrontation, and the southern expeditionary army will be separated from the Beijing camp and the northern border army.

At that point, the Jingshi, who was not captured by the Tatars, may inexplicably fall into the internal war.

In the face of this abyss, it is indeed a precipice!

"Uncle Jing Yuanbo understands righteousness, how dare the younger generation take credit."

Smart people speak simply, Zhu Yi doesn't need to explain things thoroughly, Wang Ji can understand what can be done and what cannot be done.

Although the two sides stood on different positions and even supported different kings, the concept of putting the country and society first was deeply rooted in the marrow of every Ming courtier at this time, unlike the later party struggle to treat the family and country as nothing.

What if the world dies, it won't affect the glory and wealth of the small family anyway, I will shave my head and knock my head, and I will continue to be my "loyal minister" in the Qing Dynasty.

Speaking of this, Ningyang Hou Chen Mao, the right governor Zhang Xuan and others have understood the hidden worries behind them.

I saw that at this time, Ningyang Hou Chen Mao replied meaningfully: "The harem is indeed not suitable for politics." ”

Even Zhu Qiyu, who has not received any imperial education, can grow rapidly at this moment and seize power with the help of the general trend, but Empress Dowager Sun only thinks of simply and rudely sending troops to suppress it.

After all, it is a rare encounter in a hundred years for a virtuous queen like the Empress Dowager Zhang, and it seems that it is not a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to rely on the Empress Dowager Sun to control the government.

When he heard Ningyang Hou Chen Mao say this, Yang Shan's face instantly turned blue. You must know that he is not a relative of the Ming Dynasty who rests with the country, whether it is Zhu Qiyu's accession to the throne or Zhu Qizhen's restoration, he can basically enjoy the honor of super grade, just to see if he can go further.

If Empress Dowager Sun is forced to relinquish power, then when Emperor Zhu Qizhen returns to Beijing, it is equivalent to being cut off an arm, lacking the legal help from the harem.

Who would have thought that the situation that seemed to be a good situation and a steady victory would be overturned by Shen Yichen overnight.

Yang Shan couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, whether this should be said to be Shen Yichen's ability, or his destiny. If other courtiers disobey the Emperor in public and forcibly prevent the Emperor from returning to Beijing, I am afraid that he will have to die a few times!

But no matter how unwilling he is in his heart, in the face of this general trend, there is not much Yang Shan can do. The Southern Expeditionary Army led by Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji did not end up, and it was difficult to support himself alone by relying on the imperial history of the right capital.

As for the left capital Yushi Wang Wen, it currently belongs to the mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself. Wang Zhen's imprint of the party is still hitting him, in case the Chinese official group of the DPRK reminds him of the humiliation in the past, and the scene where Ma Shun was beaten to death under the command of Jinyi Wei may be staged again!

In the Huagai Palace, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu was reviewing the chapters, but his eyes looked outside the hall from time to time, and he was obviously a little absent-minded.

"Cheng Jing, has the news that the Queen Mother is going to send troops to suppress it already been released?"

"It's been released, Your Majesty don't be impatient."

Feeling the worry and apprehension of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, Cheng Jing spoke out of relief.

Maybe Xinjun's strategy and methods are slowly growing, but the mentality of the emperor who is not shocked by honor and disgrace is impossible to cultivate in a short time, and Zhu Qiyu almost wrote his state of mind on his face.

"Then there are courtiers who respond?"

What Zhu Qiyu is most afraid of is the authority of the Empress Dowager, as well as the soldiers of Jingyuan Bonan's expeditionary army, no one dares to stand up against it, then all his efforts will be in vain.

And what's more serious is that when someone reacted to all this strangeness afterwards, let the Queen Mother know about her "restlessness", I am afraid that the abolition of the establishment will be put on the agenda!

This is not only Shen Yichen's struggle, but also Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu's struggle against the authority of the Queen Mother.

"Ni Qian, the head of the Hanlin Academy, and Qian Xili, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, have already gone to the Wumen station first. I heard that the follow-up Gao Ge Lao, the household department Shangshu Jin Lian and other cabinet ministers will also go to the noon gate to ask for their lives. ”

"I believe that the Queen Mother did not dare to risk the condemnation of the world and resolutely sent troops to clear the field."

Hearing Cheng Jing's answer, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then as if he remembered something, he asked again: "Cheng Jing, the Queen Mother is still healthy, can she withstand such a blow?" ”

Facing Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu had a trace of worry, Cheng Jing could understand the emperor's mentality, but he more deeply understood the words that Shen Yichen said when he was in the carriage.

Royal ruthlessness is a derogatory term, and in a sense, it must be so, to cut off the feelings of ordinary people in order to become a qualified king.

"The Queen Mother is just in a hurry, and her body is fine. I believe that after experiencing this, she can understand what the general trend is, and she can rest assured in the harem. ”

"That's good."

Emperor Jingtai nodded, no matter what Empress Dowager Sun said, she also withstood the pressure to support herself to inherit the throne of the unification.

After that, Zhu Qiyu's expression became a little lonely, and added: "I hope so." ”

If there is no struggle for imperial power, there may indeed be some mother-son affection between himself and the queen mother.

On the other side, in the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager Sun, who had fainted twice in succession, leaned on the phoenix chair with a somewhat pale face at the moment and closed her eyes to recuperate. When the palace maids and eunuchs next to them saw the appearance of the queen mother, they didn't even dare to come out, for fear of causing a big disaster.

I don't know how long it took, looking at the weak appearance of the Queen Mother, a personal palace maid who had served for many years, couldn't hold back the concern and worry in her heart, and said: "Queen Mother, why don't you lie on the bed and rest for a while, the Imperial Doctor specially instructed you to pay attention to rest and recuperate, and you should not work too hard." ”

Listening to the voice in her ears, Empress Dowager Sun slowly opened her eyes, shook her head a little weakly, and said: "The emperor has only been hunting in the north for a long time, and the courtiers will not put the old woman of the mourning family in their eyes. ”

"This dragon chair was given out by the mourning family himself, if you can't get it back, how will you face the emperor in the future?"

Zhu Qiyu's imperial throne was personally supported by Empress Dowager Sun, no matter whether she regrets it now or not, there is no room for regret.

In fact, Empress Dowager Sun didn't have much interest in power, otherwise when Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was young, it was not only the Empress Dowager Zhang who was the regent. Everything she is doing now is to control the situation and help Zhu Qizhen remove all obstacles to restoration after returning.

It's just that her ability to live in the harem all the year round is limited, and Empress Dowager Sun feels that the situation is getting more and more out of control, and she is becoming more and more powerless.

"Queen Mother, you still have to take care of yourself."

The personal palace maid has not much to say about the affairs of the court, and she can only powerlessly persuade the Empress Dowager Sun to pay attention to her body.

Empress Dowager Sun knew the kindness of this palace maid who had been with her for many years, she shook her head with a wry smile and said no more.

However, at this time, a hurried figure walked towards Cining Palace, and immediately knelt down for Empress Dowager Sun after entering the house, and said with a panicked face: "Empress Dowager, the big thing is not good, and the news of ordering Jing Yuanbo to lead the suppression of Jingshi Shizi has leaked out for some reason. ”

"Now a large number of civil officials in Beijing are rushing to the noon gate, saying that they will defend the dignity of Wendao with their lives, and they also say......"

"What else did you say!"

Empress Dowager Sun has suffered blows one after another in the past two days, and I have to say that her ability to resist pressure has been improved, and she has been able to stabilize her mind at the moment, and she asked the little eunuch who entered the house to complain.

"He also said that he wanted the Queen Mother to return to His Majesty and live in the harem with peace of mind!"
