Our family thinks that Gonggong Cao's method is feasible, and at the critical moment, we have to transfer the Son of Heaven's pro-army to guard it, otherwise the factory guards alone will not be able to control the situation in the palace."

Wang Cheng's mind was relatively simple, and before the celebrant Yin Xing'an could reply, he immediately expressed his approval.

His idea is very simple, isn't there not enough people in the factory guards of the East Factory, so just let the Imperial Horse Supervisor transfer troops. Cao Jixiang's identity as a eunuch coupled with the pro-military attributes of the Son of Heaven is destined to stand in the imperial party, otherwise who else can the palace rely on?

Wang Cheng doesn't look at his position as good as Xing'an, but he is the only former minister of the Hidden Mansion among the twelve eunuchs, just like Cheng Jing, who was trusted by the emperor before. At that time, Jin Ying, who was the master of ceremonies, had to give three points in the face of Cheng Jingdu, Xing'an could not consider Cao Jixiang's suggestion, but he could not ignore Wang Cheng's statement.

After hesitating again and again, Xing'an made a decision: "If you only rely on the approval of the celebrant to mobilize troops and horses on a large scale, I am afraid that it will cause criticism from the outside world, and it will be easier to make things bigger."

"Otherwise, in addition to Gonggong Cao's dispatch of the Son of Heaven's army to come over to guard, the matter between the crown prince and His Majesty, I still inform Yuanfu Chen Xun and Da Sima Yiming. With these two of His Majesty's henchmen in charge, even if there are any turbulent accidents, they can appease the hearts of the people inside and outside the government."

Xing'an has gone through several dynasties step by step to the position of the palm seal of the celebrant and supervisor, naturally he is not a fool to fool, even if the operation of forging the holy decree is urgent, it still has a very high risk, maybe he will put a rope around his neck.

The cabinet controls the power to draft votes, and Chen Xun submits the decision to transfer troops, which can be regarded as a complete process, and can also share responsibilities afterwards. In addition, Shang Shuyiming of the Ministry of War has the right to transfer troops, and he can contain Cao Jixiang to ensure that nothing goes wrong in the palace.

"The prime minister is right, let's just do it!"

Wang Cheng immediately agreed, eunuchs have natural defects and shortcomings after all, and only the involvement of the civil official group can be justified.

Compared with Wang Cheng's sigh of relief, a trace of disappointment flashed in Cao Jixiang's eyes, but he quickly complimented: "Those literati often use a word called Lao Cheng Mouguo, and our family deserves this praise when we look at the internal minister, and it is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Gonggong Cao praises it, things will inevitably change, let's hurry up."

"Yes, Insider."

After Cao Jixiang bowed down, he turned around and walked out of the Qianqing Palace.

On the other side, Wang Cheng also bowed, hurriedly went to Wenyuan Pavilion, and asked Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet, to come over and preside over the overall situation.

In the Chengguo Mansion, Shen Yichen was pacing back and forth, with a trace of uneasiness and nervousness in his heart.

Chen Qingtong stood aside and hugged his daughter Qingying, looking at Shen Yichen's rare anxious appearance, and said with relief: "Husband, you have been going back and forth for an afternoon, and Mr. Bian and the others have all been sent out to inquire about the news, so wait with peace of mind."

"The death of the crown prince at a young age is not uncommon in all dynasties, and Your Majesty is no longer the shallow foundation at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and he will definitely be able to stabilize the situation in the court and China, and there will not be too many incidents."

Chen Qingtong has no God's perspective, in her opinion, the death of the crown prince is a sad thing, but it is difficult to turbulent the government and the opposition. After all, when today's son is in the prime of life, and other princes can be born to inherit the throne in the future, Shen Yichen is a little too nervous.

"I'm not worried about the death of the crown prince, it's Your Majesty......

Shen Yichen sighed, if there are still many doubts about Zhu Jianji's untimely death in history, then the early death of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu is a sure thing.

As early as when he returned to Beijing for a meeting at the beginning of the year, Shen Yichen saw the blush on the emperor's handkerchief, and was extremely unsure of Zhu Qiyu's physical condition.

With the passage of time, although it seems that Zhu Qiyu is okay in the follow-up, the seeds of this hidden danger have been planted. Now that he suffered the bad news of the untimely death of his only son, coupled with the fact that he was stuck on the eve of the happy event of the canonization ceremony of the crown prince, I don't know if Emperor Jingtai can withstand such a blow.

Just like Chen Qingtong said, the untimely death of the crown prince will not affect the overall situation, but the problem is that the emperor has an accident and cannot stabilize the overall situation, and the entire situation in the government and the opposition will collapse instantly

Collapse!

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty, he should be able to accept the reality......

Chen Qingtong replied in an uncertain tone, she had probably heard from Shen Yichen that the emperor was ill, and he often canceled court meetings this year. But youth is the biggest capital, no matter how sad you are, as an emperor, you can always survive.

"I hope so."

After Shen Yichen replied lightly, he didn't say anything more and looked out the window.

Seeing her husband's preoccupied appearance, Chen Qingtong didn't want to disturb too much, so she hugged her daughter Shen Qingying and silently withdrew from the study.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon when night fell, Zhao Hongjie rushed to the Chengguo Mansion with one person to ask for a meeting. The person who came was none other than Wang Zheng, the commander of Jingwei, who had an old acquaintance with Shen Yichen.

"Humble to meet Shen Ge Lao!"

As soon as Wang Zheng wanted to salute, he was held up by Shen Yichen and said, "Wang Yishi, you should know the rules of this cabinet, and those with armor don't worship."

"You're coming to the mansion, is there something going on in the palace?"

Shen Yichen immediately grasped the key point and asked, it stands to reason that the palace must be very nervous in the current situation, and Wang Zheng, as the chief official of the Beijing Guard, cannot leave his post without permission. Even if he wanted to come to the door to visit, Zhao Hongjie would come forward to stop him.

Now that he still appears in front of him, it means that there must be something strange in the palace.

"Back to Shen Ge Lao, the palace gate has now been taken over by the Tengxiang Four Guards under the command of Cao Jixiang, and all the Beijing guards have been evacuated."

"Teng Xiang Siwei takes over the palace gate?"

Hearing this news, Shen Yichen's face was full of surprise, and even Jingwei was not at ease, so it seemed that what happened in the palace was even more nervous than expected.

"Who gave the order?"

"The will of the celebrant."

Your Majesty's oracle?

At this time, Shen Yichen was a little confused, and he was able to issue an order to mobilize Tengxiang Siwei to take over the palace guards, which meant that Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu did not have any worst situation that his body could not bear under the blow of the death of the crown prince.

But the question is that the emperor can preside over the overall situation, so who dares to make a move in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, is it necessary to make a big move to mobilize Tengxiang and the four guards?

Shen Yichen thought about it in his mind, and felt that this was a little inconsistent with logic, but at this time, Bian He, who was sent out to inquire about the news, happened to come back.

"The proprietor, there is an abnormality in the Jingying, Gongshun Hou Wu Jin led a part of the 3,000 battalions of soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion led by his cousin Guangyi Bo Wu Cong are heading towards the direction of the palace, I heard that they were ordered by Shang Shuyiming of the Ministry of War."

The soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp also moved?

If Teng Xiang Siwei urgently touched to take over the palace guards, it was still within Shen Yichen's understanding, after all, they were full-time palace guards of the Son of Heaven's army, and they could be called their duty.

But the emergency transfer of soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp is a bit unreasonable, unless there is an emergency at the level of a palace change.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Zhao Hongjie is now hurrying to the Beijing camp and informing Li Da to summon the Liaodong Army to prepare."

"Mr. Bian, you instruct the first few of Canghuo to keep an eye on the movements of Shi Heng and his party, and come over immediately to report any situation."

"I'm going to find the eldest prince Zhu Yi now and ask if the transfer of the 3,000 battalions of Gongshun Hou Wu Jin is related to him."

Shen Yichen issued several orders one after another, originally he did not plan to use Li Da and the Liaodong Army. After all, the Son of Heaven privately transferred troops and horses at his feet, and stabbing them out may cause an uproar, at least he will reprimand the Liaodong Army and immediately transfer it out of Beijing, or at worst there will be a risk of demotion and dismissal.

But the current situation made Shen Yichen have a premonition in his dark, that is, Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu had an accident, and the forces of the DPRK and China transferred troops in order to seize the opportunity.

In this case, no matter who succeeds to the throne, it is impossible for Shen Yichen to miss this kind of sideline.

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

After Zhao Hongjie and Bian He gave up their orders, they turned around and left to do business. At this time, there was still Wang Zheng in the study standing in place, he had already realized that there might be a big change, and Shen Ge was arranging in advance.

But the problem is that he is only a Beijing guard who guards the palace gate

, in this situation, he doesn't even deserve to be a pawn, which one can say anything.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Zheng gritted his teeth and asked, "Elder Shen Ge, he is also willing to contribute to his humble position and swear to serve his life!"

Since the matter has already happened, it must be impossible to hide, and Wang Zheng already has a heart of admiration and admiration for Shen Yichen, and he believes that his choice is right.

"Well, since you have a heart to serve the country, you will go back and gather the Beijing guards and horses to wait for the instructions of the cabinet department."

Although Shen Yichen had contact with Wang Zheng as early as the Luchuan Prisoner Sacrifice Ceremony, the two sides did not have a fateful friendship after all. Even if the other party is willing to take the initiative to be loyal, Shen Yichen still only expresses his stance to serve the country and use it as a backhand.

"Yes, obedience."

Wang Zheng can understand Shen Yichen's vigilance, and he will use his actions to prove his loyalty.

After some deployment, Shen Yichen walked towards Zhu Yi's courtyard in the mansion, but when he just walked to the corridor, he found that Zhu Yi also looked hurried, and was about to go to the front hall of the mansion.

So Shen Yichen hurriedly shouted, "Big Prince."

Hearing Shen Yichen's shout behind him, even though he was a little anxious in his heart, Zhu Yi still stopped and asked, "Xiangbei, is there anything wrong?"

"Eldest prince, take the liberty of asking, is it your order to lead three thousand battalions of soldiers and horses into the palace by Gongshun Hou Wu Jin."

Hearing Shen Yichen's question, the expression on Zhu Yi's face was very exciting, he went out urgently for this matter, but he didn't expect to bump into each other by chance.

"Do you think that with the title of Marquis of Gongshun, you will obey my orders as a right governor?"

"It's not the eldest prince, that's the grandfather?"

The 3,000 battalions have been appointed by Emperor Jingtai as the commander of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, but because the grandfather's body and spirit have been greatly deserved in recent years, basically the affairs of the army have been handed over to Zhu Yi to deal with.

It is indeed a super noble relative who is obedient, and his status and qualifications are above Zhu Yi, so it is unlikely that he will obey him. Then the only possibility is the order given by the grandfather.

As a result, what Shen Yichen didn't expect was, "It's not my father, it's the order issued by Yuanfu Chen Xun."

Chen Xun's order?

Hearing Zhu Yi's answer, Shen Yichen felt more and more confused about why Chen Xun would intervene in the death of the crown prince.

And even if he wanted to intervene, in what name would he mobilize some of the 3,000 battalions of soldiers and horses led by Hou Wu Jin, and why did the latter, as a nobleman, obey the orders of the cabinet?

"Eldest Prince, isn't Gongshun Hou Wu Jin a subordinate of Grandpa?"

When Zhu Yi heard Shen Yichen's question, he instantly understood what the other party really wanted to express, and replied, "Gongshun Hou Wu Jin is a Tartar official, and it is not the grandfather who has the grace of knowing him."

Hearing this answer, Shen Yichen's mouth suddenly opened. The 3,000 battalion was the cavalry unit in the Ming Dynasty's Beijing battalion, and the original component was the cavalry borrowed by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di from Wuliang Ha Sanwei, and then this group of Tartar officials chose to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, which became one of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division.

For the Tartar officials, the Ming Dynasty emperor is their suzerain, Bole, there may be a kind of convert's fanaticism, many times the Ming Dynasty Tartar officials are often more loyal, willing to die for the Ming king!

Gongshun Hou Wu Jin was a Tatar official for generations, his father Wu Kezhong and uncle Wu Keqin, all of whom were martyred in Tumubao in order to escort Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong. As for Wu Jin, he fought to the death and did not retreat, so that Wara also admired his loyalty first, and finally spared his life and returned to Beijing.

So meaningless, the original object of Gongshun Hou Wu Jin's allegiance was Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen!

But the question is that Gongshun Hou Wu Jin is loyal to Zhu Qizhen's family, what does Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet, mean by recruiting him, can it be said that his previous guesses are all wrong, Chen Xun did not change to the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu's disciples, and is still in Cao Ying's heart in Han.

Chen Xun is the mastermind behind everything?

Thinking of these possibilities, Shen Yichen was stunned, after all, this change was really unbelievable. Chen Xun has obviously been appreciated by Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, making him rank second only to Tianguan Wang Zhi and Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and before Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War

。

With his qualifications and prestige, he is already at the peak of being able to stand in this position, isn't he satisfied?

However, there is still a trace of doubt, Shen Yichen is puzzled, that is, Yiming also led the Shenji Battalion to the palace, he is the former minister of the Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be loyal to Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong.

Yi Ming's sudden move, did he reach an agreement with Chen Xun, or did he find that the situation was not right and directly transfer troops to take charge?

"I don't understand, do I?"

may have seen the confusion on Shen Yichen's face, Zhu Yi asked with a playful smile on her face.

Hearing Zhu Yi say this, Shen Yichen did not slap his swollen face and become fat, but instead arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the eldest prince to give advice."

"Xiangbei, I don't know what happened, but there are some surprises that you, who were like a god in the past, will also have this kind of confusion."

"Eldest Prince, you look down on me."

Shen Yichen replied with a wry smile, the admission rate of Jinshi in the imperial examination system is much more difficult than that of Qingbei in later generations, plus those who can be ranked as cabinet ministers, all of them are people who have been mixed in officialdom for decades, regardless of IQ and EQ, it can be said that they have reached the extreme, and there is no one to deal with.

"In that case, if you want to find out what's going on, let's go into the palace and find out!"
