Chapter 205: The Great River East Goes to the Waves
Dangdang! Jingyang bell ringing! On this unusual day of ancestor worship, it resounded in Jingshi!
The Spring Festival is celebrated, but all the officials are uneasy in their hearts! The movement in the Forbidden City is so great that most of the officials already know that this court meeting is extraordinary!
Hulala, hundreds of officials rushed in front of the noon gate. There were still blood stains on the long corridor that had not yet been cleaned, and there was a pungent smell of blood in the air.
Liu Jian took the lead and walked quickly to the Fengtian Palace. Min Gui asked in a low voice in the back, "Old Liu, what's going on?" ”
"I don't know! Yu Qiao is on duty today, and I don't know what the situation is! Liu Jian was extremely anxious, but he couldn't show it, his expression couldn't help but be in a trance, one was not paying attention, his feet were empty, and his body was planted. A hand was stretched out next to him and held Liu Jian steadily.
"Master Liu, Fengtian Hall will see the difference, it's useless to be anxious!"
Liu Jian saw that it was Yang Tinghe, and nodded with a smile. What about the big winds and waves? With the younger generations who continue to grow up, how can they be sinister? After all, people do things!
The further back you go, the stronger the smell of blood. The battlefield was mainly in the north of the Forbidden City, and the casualties were naturally tragic.
Finally entered the Fengtian Palace, and the hundred officials stood according to the arrangement, but their hearts became heavier and heavier. The high dragon chair was empty, and the chair next to Zhu Hou had been removed, but a screen was placed behind the dragon chair. The festive red colors in the main hall were all removed, and white paper flowers hung all over the curtains.
No wonder I always feel that something is missing along the way, it turns out that all the red lanterns in the palace have been replaced with white skin! Liu Jian's head buzzed, and his body shook. Mai Xiu didn't care about the loss of honor after his bandage, limped to the jade steps, and announced loudly: "Emperor Hongzhi died this morning!" The queen has an edict to announce! ”
Click, like a thunderbolt, Mai Xiu's male duck voice shook so much that hundreds of officials didn't know where they were for a while!
Zhou Jing was the first to the ground and howled: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Why did you go! ”
The hundred officials suddenly realized, when will they show loyalty if they don't show loyalty at this time? That's right! The Fengtian Hall suddenly became a hall of filial piety, and the crying was loud, and the curtain with white flowers shook back and forth.
Liu Jian wiped away his tears and roared hoarsely: "Stop! Where is the edict? ”
In the end, he is an old minister, and he knows what is the key at the critical moment! Zhu Heming, who was listening to the movement in the side hall, nodded secretly, although Liu Jian was not his own person, the country could not lack such a minister. After succeeding to the throne, this person is indispensable.
"Your Majesty, it is Zhou Jing who takes the lead in mourning."
Zhu Heming nodded and secretly wrote down a small account. Such a person does not know the general situation, and even his own people must not be reused!
Empress Zhang's voice sounded behind the screen: "The edict is here, Lord Liu, Lord Liu, please come and get it." A woman from the mourning family is inconvenient to come forward. ”
Liu Jiansheng Ruohongzhong: "The matter is urgent, please show up." ”
Empress Zhang waited for a moment before she whispered: "In this case, remove the screen!" ”
The screen was removed, and Empress Zhang sat on a rosewood Taishi chair, holding a scroll in her hand.
Liu Jian didn't come forward to ask for a testament, but looked at Mai Xiu and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Yu Qiao?" There are three cabinet assistants, and none of them is missing! ”
Mai Xiu didn't know why, but felt that Liu Jian's eyes were like knives, and he was cowardly in his heart, so he couldn't help but take a step back and replied in a whisper: "Lord Liu, Lord Xie is fine, I have sent someone to invite." ”
At this moment, Xie Qian appeared at the door of the hall with a person covered in blood. Liu Jian was shocked, so he ran to Xie Qian's side and shouted, "Yu Qiao, where is the injury?" ”
Xie Qian waved his hand weakly and smiled bitterly: "Boss, I'm fine!" Turning his head to look at Mai Xiu: "Mai Xiu Mai Dugong, can you let the imperial doctor treat this brother?" ”
This is the court, how dare Mai Xiu be as reckless as he was just now? Lian claimed that he had called the little eunuch and wanted to take people away. Xie Qian shook his head: "No!" Just here! Without him, there would be no me! ”
Mai Xiu's eyes widened, and then he smiled bitterly: "Lord Xie, this is the court!" ”
Xie Qian nodded calmly: "I know!" But human life is bigger than the sky! Mai Xiu, you can kill me together, I don't have the ability to save people, but my own life and death can still be decided. ”
Mai Xiu's eyes flashed fiercely, but he still softened: "Okay! Master Xie, can you listen to your success? Is it okay to read the edict first? ”
Xie Qian was surprised: "Edict? Where did the edict come from? What about Your Majesty? What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
Buzzing, the hall suddenly became noisy. Xie Qian has been on duty in the palace, but he didn't know that His Majesty had died? What about this so-called edict? Is it really a rebellion?
Yang Tinghe was the first to fire: "Mai Dugong!" The edict was not drafted by the cabinet ministers, and there were no drawings or witnesses. Dare to ask, who wrote it? You won't tell the lower officials that it's a handwritten letter from His Majesty who is seriously ill, right? ”
Liu Daxia also stood up: "What Lord Yang said is extremely true, such three edicts, we will never obey the edict!" ”
Rumble! The calm water suddenly exploded, and people kept standing up to question it. Yushi Wu Shan asked loudly: "Mai Xiu, it is already the limit for you to wait for eunuchs to help Your Majesty approve the red, do you have to be overbearing?" ”
Jiang Mian was not so excited, but his words were as sharp as a knife: "Your Majesty has a stroke and is unable to move, and Lord Xie, as the minister on duty, does not know the existence of the edict?" His Royal Highness the Prince worships his ancestors in the temple, but he is not in this Huanghuang Fengtian Temple! Oh, you must know that the sky is clear, and there are gods in the first three feet! ”
Mai Xiu was sweating profusely, and he couldn't suppress the ministers. Empress Zhang nodded with satisfaction, her husband has still promoted many cadres and ministers of the country over the years, and he can be regarded as a torch. Zhu Heming! Can you deceive the sky, can you deceive the eyes of the world?
Zhu Heming in the side hall jumped like thunder, this Mai Xiu, there is more than enough success or failure! What is Empress Zhang used for? At this time, why do you bother so much?
It seemed that he heard Zhu Heming's heart, and Zhou Jing made a different voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, my lords, the queen is still here, listen to what Niangniang says!" ”
Liu Jian shot a cold light in his eyes, and said coldly: "The queen mother has never been involved in government affairs, such a big thing, I am afraid it is inappropriate to put a thousand catties of heavy burden on the mother!" ”
Min Gui also said a few questioning words just now, and when he saw Liu Jian's difficulty, he hurriedly reached out to help: "Lord Liu, long live the illness in the middle of the night, Lord Xie is not by his side, and it is also possible for the queen mother to be by his side." Everything is important! Lord Liu, what do you say? ”
Liu Jian was helpless, so he had to snort and then didn't speak.
Empress Zhang opened her mouth, suddenly glanced at the flower clothes in the hands of Fanzi outside the hall, tears rolled down, and she choked and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, feel unwell, stay in a hurry, leave the edict, just..."
The hall suddenly fell silent, Zhou Jing was arrogant and looked forward to himself, Min Gui asked with suspicion: "Niangniang, who wrote the edict?" ”
