Zhao Hongjie's words fell, and the Qianqing Palace, which was still full of disputes and hustle and bustle from all sides, instantly became as silent as death, and the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely exciting.

After a long silence, Shi Heng's wild laughter suddenly sounded in the room: "Hahaha, it is worthy of the strategizing Shen Ge Lao, one step ahead of others, this father admires, admires."

It was not until this moment that Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, really confirmed his conjecture that Shen Yichen was the same kind of careerist as himself. Compared with civil officials like Chen Xun, they still have to set up a memorial arch, go through the procedures of the cabinet secretary and supervisor, and secretly tune Hou Wu Jin into the imperial city, this kind of small gesture is destined to be difficult to achieve a big thing.

Only Shen Yichen and himself made the decision to transfer troops into the palace at the right time, and he was the heroic spirit of ruling the world!

In the face of Shi Heng's words that I don't know whether it was praise or ridicule, Shen Yichen didn't respond, just looked at Zhao Hongjie and ordered: "Zhao Tishuai, pass on the order of the Cabinet Department to General Wu and General Li, let them temporarily be stationed outside the Chengtian Gate, and don't clash with the comrades of Teng Xiang Siwei."

If it is said that Shi Heng mobilized the soldiers and horses of the five army battalions before, he broke the balance of power of the three parties and put Shen Yichen at an absolute disadvantage. Then with the arrival of the 3,000 battalions and the Liaodong Ban army, the three parties once again maintained a fragile balance, and it is unlikely that either side will go berserk.

Compared with the careerist that Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, thinks, in fact, Shen Yichen has never been this kind of person, and until the last resort, he doesn't want the Jingying palace guards to go off and have a scene of fighting in the same room.

"Yes, the last will obey."

Zhao Hongjie clenched his fists to receive the order, and then instructed his subordinates to convey Shen Yichen's edict, and he stepped into the Qianqing Palace with his head held high, standing behind Shen Yichen with the appearance of a guard.

Regarding the appearance of this scene, Chen Xun and Xing'an's eyes can be described as extremely complicated. They knew that Zhao Hongjie and Shen Yichen were childhood partners and classmates as early as the Ying Tianfu period, but they didn't expect the relationship to be so close that they reached the point of obeying orders!

The commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was supposed to be loyal to the emperor to the death, now openly sided with Shen Yichen, the cabinet minister, and it was a little unbelievable for anyone to judge.

However, at this moment, the forces of all parties finally surfaced, Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, hooked up with Cao Jixiang, the head of the imperial horse supervisor, Chen Xun, the first assistant of the cabinet, reached a political alliance with the seal Xing'an, and Shen Yichen and the commander of the Jinyi Guard were like brothers.

This is the status quo of the Ming officialdom, each side is not a fuel-efficient lamp, everyone has secretly accumulated their own strength, but in the process of growth, a strange balance has been formed.

So much so that it was mapped to all the soldiers and horses outside the Chengtian Gate, and the five military battalions, three thousand battalions, and Shenji battalions of the Beijing camp were all there, and they also "each for its own master".

If Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu can wake up and witness all this at this time, I don't know whether to be angry or embarrassed in my heart......

"Oh, it's better to prevent it than to prevent it."

After Chen Xun was silent for a long time, he couldn't help but follow the words of Yiming and Shi Heng before, and sarcastically said to the current situation. It seems that the ministers are all majestic and upright, but in fact, they all secretly arranged the backhand, so that there was a scene of "soldiers meeting each other".

"Since we have reached this point, then let's open the skylight and say something bright, I don't know why Yuanfu is willing to let the Queen Mother preside over the overall situation, but this prince is deeply favored by His Majesty, and he is unwilling to accept it."

After saying that, Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo, shifted his gaze to Shen Yichen and continued, "Presumably Shen Ge Lao and this Duke have the same opinion, right?"

Shi Heng's question, Shen Yichen chose to acquiesce, indeed there has been an irreconcilable conflict of interest between himself and the Empress Dowager Sun, beyond the scope of the art of compromise in politics.

To put it mildly, Shen Yichen would rather let Zhu Jianshen, the king of Yi, ascend the throne and become emperor immediately, rather than let the Empress Dowager Sun take power and reign in the dynasty. At least the former is a six-year-old child, he has plenty of time to control the air, and the latter once he breaks free from the captivity of Cining Palace, he stands at the height of undefeated filial piety.

And the new monarch is young, and the Empress Dowager Sun can listen to politics openly, and this time even the "general trend" of the harem not being allowed to interfere in politics cannot work.

Shen Yichen's silence,

The atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace became cold again, and the faces of people such as Chen Xun, Xing'an, Yiming and others became more and more ugly.

The emperor is not dead yet, you Shi Heng and Shen Yichen began to think about the future new monarch, and wanted to stop the queen mother's logical prominence of the dynasty, so they simply wrote the word "power minister" on their faces.

"Zhongguo Gong, don't let the Queen Mother preside over the overall situation, then who do you think is suitable?"

After all, Chen Xun is the first assistant of the cabinet, and the mud bodhisattva still has three points of earthiness, Shi Heng's words are already a bit rebellious, no matter how much he wants to protect himself, the most basic literati at this time forces Chen Xun to stand up and be tough.

The Ming Dynasty did not have the regent system of all dynasties, and even if there were, Zhu Zhandong, the most suitable Xiangwang in name, was punished for treason as early as two months ago, and was demoted to a commoner to be imprisoned in Fengyang Mansion to guard the ancestral tomb.

The only legal basis inside and outside the government and the opposition is the queen mother, you Shi Heng don't let her preside over the overall situation, is it because you want to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne?

In addition, Shen Yichen's troop transfer behavior and attitude also touched Chen Xungang's bottom line. It's just that Wufu doesn't know how to be polite, but you're a minister of the three yuan and the first cabinet, don't you even know the most basic legal system?

"I don't know who is suitable, but I know that the Queen Mother must not be suitable."

Zhongguo Gong Shi Heng replied frivolously, as long as Shen Yichen is on his side, it means that among the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division, the largest five military battalions and three thousand battalions have reached a alliance.

Coupled with the Tengxiang Four Guards who controlled the Forbidden City, what Chen Xun's group of civil officials could rely on was nothing more than the two brothers Gongshun Hou and Guangyibo, as well as some of the 3,000 battalions and the Shenji battalion under their command.

The difference in the number of soldiers and horses is several times, so that Chen Xun and the civilian official group cannot set off the storm, and the next day will soon have the final say.

Shi Heng's arrogant and rebellious words, Chen Xun's chest rose and fell violently, but he was helpless under the huge gap in strength. It can only be said that His Majesty entrusted him with no people, and he did not see Shi Heng's wolf ambitions, so that it reached the point of causing trouble to the dynasty!

"Loyal to the country, sometimes it is better to be cautious in words and deeds."

Shen Yichen, who was standing aside and listening to the conversation, finally responded lightly at this moment.

Although he and Shi Heng have the same goal in a sense, the results are completely different. Shen Yichen is in power in order to cut power in the end, but Shi Heng wants to be above all living beings.

Even if Shen Yichen and Shi Heng have something in common at this moment, he is not willing to fuel the other party's arrogance and ambition. Once the balance of power of the three parties is broken, then the next scene is the battle between the two tigers, and the Ming soldiers have to kill each other!

Shen Yichen's "warning" made Shi Heng's face change slightly, but he was not as aggressive as he was with Chen Xun. After all, Shi Heng is just arrogant, not stupid, he is far from being able to control the government and the opposition, and it is just a matter of saying a few rampant words to get over his mouth.

After a cold snort, the Qianqing Palace was quiet again, and each of the three parties stood in a corner of the house, silently staring at Zhu Qiyu who was lying on the throne. Everyone knows in their hearts that the life and death of the emperor will be the fuse of "war", and whether they are loyal or not in the end, they are in fact fighting for their own interests.

Time passed minute by minute, the candle flame flickered and flickered all night, the doctors of the Tai Hospital went back and forth to check the condition of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, and the other palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting didn't even dare to come out, and everyone could feel the atmosphere of solemnity.

The same is true of the scene outside the palace, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion surround the entire Forbidden City, and the generals of the army did not know what was going on at first, but received an order from Shangfeng to go to the palace to guard.

However, with the gathering of soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and the dispatch of different ministers, it has only been three years since the huge change of seizing the door, and no matter how dull the political sense is, the martial artist can also realize that the situation is wrong at this time.

As the situation became more and more tense, everyone was wary of the brothers who were also training in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. This is the sorrow of the struggle of internal friction, even if the comrades-in-arms who have lived and died with each other, they have been pushed to the opposite side.

At the same time, more and more officials from the Beijing Division rushed to Chengtianmen to enter the palace to face the saints, and many of them were scarlet robes. No

But they were all blocked out of the door, and they could only stand in front of the palace gate silently waiting for the news to come out of the palace.

In this way, the first rays of morning light shone into the Qianqing Palace, and then reflected on the pale face of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu. The little palace maid who was standing next to her and waiting suddenly shouted in a surprised tone, "Your Majesty is awake!"

The emperor woke up?

Hearing this shout, everyone in the room could be said to have different expressions, what Chen Xun, Shi Heng and the others thought in their hearts, Shen Yichen didn't know. But in his own heart, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

In the process of waiting, Shen Yichen had actually silently prepared for the worst, but if Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu didn't survive, he would join forces with Zhao Hongjie and other Jinyi guards to kill Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang.

Shen Yichen really didn't want the Empress Dowager Sun to go out of the mountain, but he also wouldn't let a careerist like Shi Heng take power!

It's just that Shen Yichen has seen the courage of ten thousand people on the battlefield of Shi Heng. Dealing with him alone, Shen Yichen and Zhao Hongjie may not be able to fight together, and there are still soldiers and horses of Shi Biao and Teng Xiang Siwei standing outside the house, it is really hard to say who wins and who loses.

Shi Heng dares to be so arrogant, naturally he has his capital, Shen Yichen has always admired the power of the gun, in fact, there is no advantage in front of him, the other party also knows what it means to be strong and strong!

After everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, they hurriedly gathered in front of the imperial couch and looked at Zhu Qiyu, the Jingtai Emperor on the bed. Xing'an's eyes were even redder, and he shouted softly with tears: "Long live the lord, long live the lord, wake up, you must wake up and the dragon body is healthy, this Ming can't be without you."

Zhu Qiyu on the collapse seemed to hear Xing'an's call, his eyelids, which were only trembling, slowly opened, and a tear trail passed through the corner of his eye, as if filled with endless sadness and pain.

Seeing the appearance of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu, Shen Yichen instantly felt panicked in his heart, he was indeed in front of the emperor's sickbed, making a move to fight for power. But this does not mean that he has no compassion and pity for Zhu Qiyu, the king of saving time.

It can be said that Shen Yichen looked at Zhu Qiyu, from the initial appearance of panic and weakness, step by step to grow into a hard-working king, and then made a lot of absurd and mediocre actions for his own selfish desires.

But people are not saints and sages, at least from the perspective of the people and the world, Zhu Qiyu can be called a good emperor.

"Crowd...... The Ministers are here."

Zhu Qiyu saw Chen Xun, Shen Yichen and others in front of the bed, and struggled to spit out these words.

"Your Majesty, when the ministers heard that the dragon was sick, they rushed to the palace to visit."

Chen Xun replied in a somewhat choked tone, maybe his mood was similar to Shen Yichen's, and he was really sad to see the once high-spirited young son of heaven become this sick appearance.

Coupled with a few people in the house, in addition to Shen Yichen, who had been beaten and suppressed, he could still speak. The others are all deeply favored by the emperor, and Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu can be said to have the grace of knowing them.

People, after all, still have to talk about some feelings.

"The Emperor...... The Emperor's Descendant, Yuan ...... Motosuke can be arranged...... All right."

Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu's attention at this moment was not on his body at all, and his consciousness and thoughts were still at the moment when he learned that the crown prince Zhu Jianji had died. Now that the ministers have come to the palace, the top priority is to deal with the aftermath of the crown prince, which is the last gift of his father.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Ministry of Rites has already started to deal with it, and the crown prince will be solemnly buried."

Hearing Chen Xun's answer, Zhu Qiyu seemed to let go of a wisp of obsession, and suddenly began to cough, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help overflowing blood.

"Doctor, Doctor, hurry up and come to help!"

After Chen Xun saw this scene, he shouted in a panicked tone to the imperial doctor standing in the back row. However, Shen Yichen knew very well in his heart that in ancient times, medical conditions and colds could kill people, and it was not the first time that Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu had coughed up blood, and I was afraid that the condition was far more serious than imagined.

The imperial physician came to the side of the imperial collapse, wiping the blood from the corner of the emperor's mouth, and hurriedly poured a few spoonfuls of decoction with a spoon to stabilize the condition.

I don't know if the decoction really has some effect

Sure enough, after coughing violently, the stagnation in his chest was soothed a little, and Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu's breathing was obviously much more stable and powerful than before.

"You don't have to stay in front of my bed, let's go and organize the crown prince's funeral first, I can still hold on."

Chen Xun, Shi Heng, Shen Yichen and other important ministers were not summoned to the palace, and Zhu Qiyu also knew in his heart what these courtiers were staying in front of the couch for. Now that he has woken up and still has this life, the top priority is to deal with the crown prince first, and then discuss other things.

In the face of Zhu Qiyu's words, the expressions on Shi Heng's faces were a little complicated, in case the emperor really survived, then the words he said in the Qianqing Palace before would really become a big rebellion.

However, when it comes to arrogance, Shi Heng has it, and if he wants to say anything about rebellion, Shi Heng still doesn't have the guts. As long as Zhu Qiyu is still alive, he can only obey orders honestly, so everyone gave up their hands and said, "Minister, obey the order."

After that, the few people gathered in front of the collapse slowly retreated, and just as they were about to turn around, Zhu Qiyu suddenly shouted with difficulty, "Shen Yichen...... Stay."
