Chapter 219: Falling Overboard is a Conspiracy

The Imperial City of the Imperial Division

All the members of the Tai Hospital were dispatched, and all the people below the Jingxun Guiguo Gong were waiting in the Yingtai Square in Xiyuan, while the cabinet ministers and other people were all in the Yingtai Palace, looking anxious one by one.

"How is it, how is the emperor?"

Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, took a step forward and grabbed the courtyard of the Tai Hospital, who had just come out: "Imperial Doctor Liu, how is the emperor?" ”

"Fortunately, fortunately, the water choked into the chest and lungs has come out, but Your Majesty is frightened and afraid that the water will catch a cold, so the subordinate has to go and prescribe medicine for Your Majesty as soon as possible."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the cabinet ministers were about to continue to inquire, Wei Zhongxian walked out of the inside, and Zhao Nanxing immediately scolded: "Eunuch, did you ask Your Majesty to go to the lake to play and fall into the water?" ”

Zhao Nanxing is not afraid of Wei Zhongxian, even if most of them are members of the eunuch party, Gao Panlong, who has been with Zhao Nanxing all the way, immediately agreed: "Wei Zhongxian, if the emperor has a good person, it is not enough for you to die thousands of times..."

"Have you scolded enough?"

Queen Zhang Yan turned out from the inside, this beautiful and glamorous queen appeared, and all the people in the palace bowed down and sang.

"All the ministers have heard, Your Majesty is fine now, you all step down, Your Majesty needs to recuperate, and if there is anything in the court in the past few days, let the cabinet and the celebrant deal with it."

"Obey the orders of the mother..."

.

Sun Chengzong was a little anxious, he returned to Beijing to report on his work and had not been sent back to Gaoyang, at this moment after staying in Beijing and hearing that the emperor had fallen into the water, it was as if a cold water had been poured into his heart, and he was full of excitement.

Although he learned the news that the emperor was temporarily safe from Gao Panlong and Zhao Nanxing, Chen Cao's words before returning to Beijing still alerted him.

"The family is thankful for the gift?"

Zhao Nanxing frowned: "Supervisor, is there such a strange poison in the world?" ”

Gao Panlong's eyebrows turned around: "If it is according to the words of the superintendent, Chen Cao's words may be true." ”

Sun Chengzong didn't believe it at first, that Chen Cao was a two-faced person, and the fact that he almost became a slave with three surnames a few years ago was very popular among civil officials, even if he heard a lot of jokes about Chen Cao in Liaodong.

"Chen Cao told the old man in detail that the poisoned person would be dizzy after taking the poison, and he also mentioned the incident of falling into the water..."

"Overboard?"

Zhao Nanxing was an old fox, and he realized something immediately: "Supervisor, something bad happened..."

Gao Panlong also seemed to think of something: "Chen Cao was born in the eunuch party, and he is also a brocade guard, and he must have eyeliner in the court, and recently I heard that there are many palace maids in and out of the palace, and there are still secret things, could it be..."

Zhao Nanxing thought about it, then shook his head: "It's hard to say, Wei Zhongxian doesn't have that much courage, this is a big crime of rebellion, and Ling Chi will be executed." ”

Gao Panlong looked at him: "Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone Wei Zhongxian?" ”

Sun Chengzong understood their conversation: "Chen Cao made a special trip to remind the old man, he must know something..."

"It should be too late now," Zhao Nanxing looked at Sun Chengzong: "The superintendent can send his henchmen to Liaodong to inform Chen Cao of the matter here, and then ask him what is going on, that guy came to the house in the middle of the night to save me and others, he should be the one who wants us Donglin, after all, he is the one who read the sage book." ”

"Yuan Chonghuan and Chen Cao are a little dirty, a few days ago I just received an official document from Yuan Chonghuan impeaching Chen Cao, now we take the initiative to repay the favor, the old man is worried that Chen Cao will not accept it."

Gao Panlong's words are not unreasonable, the current situation can be described as a dark future, and everyone looks like an enemy under the tilt, not to mention that Chen Cao is now leading troops outside.

"No matter what, the old man dares to conclude that the incident of the saint falling into the water must be a conspiracy." Sun Chengzong swore and said: "The plan must not let the eunuchs succeed." ”

"I haven't seen the saint in the Yingtai hall, how the saint speaks with Wei Zhongxian's mouth, and the queen only seems to listen to Wei Zhongxian's words now."

"Sir..."

At this time, the voice of Gao Panlong's housekeeper sounded outside the study: "Someone from the palace, let the master wait to go to the Qianqing Palace to see the driver..."

The emperor woke up?

When Zhao Nanxing and his entourage arrived, Zhu Youzheng was sitting on the dragon bed of the Qianqing Palace sickly, the queen was sitting on one side, and Wei Zhongxian and others were all standing next to him.

"Your Majesty asks Your Majesty..."

"Ahem... I'm going to bow down..."

Huang Liji had never seen the emperor yesterday, and today he looked at the emperor's face as if he was a little better: "Your Majesty, are you unwell?" ”

"I'm okay..."

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach the celebrant and the eunuch Wei Zhongxian to disturb the court and frame Your Majesty in danger."

Wei Zhongxian's eyelids jumped, and he immediately knelt down towards Zhu Youxiao, no matter what, he began to cry bitterly...

Zhu Youxiao couldn't bear it, and then waved his hand: "It's not about Wei Daban's business, Youhu was originally good, how do you know that there was a gust of wind, and at that time I was dizzy and my head was swollen, and I fell in unsteadily, so it's okay..."

Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, and Sun Chengzong in the hall all looked sideways at each other, the emperor's words must be true, so these symptoms must be related to Chen Cao's initiative to talk about falling into the water.

Zhao Nanxing was the first to speak: "Minister Zhao Nanxing asked the Holy Bow An..."

"Aiqing is exempt."

"Your Majesty, what did you eat before you fell into the water?"

"Ahem..."Zhu Youxiao coughed.

The queen called Wei Zhongxian coldly, and Wei Zhongxian bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty drank some wine and ate something on the big boat before falling into the water. ”

"Wei Zhongxian, Your Majesty has drunk wine, and you dare to let Your Majesty get off the boat to swim in the lake, what are your intentions?"

Gao Panlong took advantage of the situation and shouted.

Even the queen felt that there was some truth, and Wei Zhongxian was so frightened that she cried again.

Zhu Youxiao, who finished coughing, hurriedly waved his hand: "I called you here to tell you that I am fine, not to ask you to ask for my guilt, Wei Daban also acted according to orders, and it has nothing to do with him, besides, I only drank two glasses of wine before I went to the lake, not much, maybe it was a little windy that day, and I was cold..."

Walking on the royal road in Taihedian Square, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and Sun Chengzong kept bowing their heads and did not speak, until the three of them walked out of Fengtianmen, Sun Chengzong spoke: "No, Your Majesty's fall into the water must not be accidental, and the things in the palace have to be carefully investigated." ”

"The Hakka family and Wei Gelding control the inner palace, and even the queen has no place to speak." Zhao Nanxing spoke: "There have been a lot of Jinyi guards' horsemen around recently, and this matter must be cautious." ”

..

"What?"

On August 10, Chen Cao received a fast horse from Beijing, but because under the banner of Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan did not stop him, and even sent someone to escort him.

The road is still along the Great Wall.

"How is Your Majesty doing?"

The messenger said: "Your Majesty fell into the water on the second day of the eighth month in Xiyuan Lake, when there were Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family. ”

"How's your body?"

"Your Majesty didn't wake up before leaving."

Chen Cao's heart jumped a little: "What's the matter here?" ”

Messenger: "The Inspector asked the little one to ask Liang Guogong, is what happened last time true?" ”

"The family is thankful for the dispersion, but there is such a thing..."

Chen Cao's face was determined, he didn't know where he got his confidence, and said a lie as if it were true: "Go back and tell the superintendent that I, Chen Cao, have been educated by a saint." ”

The messenger nodded: "Remember, let's ask Liang Guogong again, what does Liang Guogong think about this?" ”

"You have to be careful that the tanuki changes the prince..."

The messenger noted down and nodded: "The little one has to go back quickly, Liang Guogong, farewell..."

"Zhao Xin..."

Chen Cao sent the messenger away, and then said, "What's the problem with Nanmu?" ”

Zhao Xin said in a low voice: "The subordinates hollowed out the Nanmu and put the stones in it according to the instructions, even if it is discovered, the person who handles it is Wei Liangqing, Wei Zhongxian never thought that it was dropped at the beginning, but now it seems that the subordinates feel that they will not work the ship, or the problem that the adults said, besides, there may not be such a coincidence in the world." ”

"Things in the world are really so coincidental, the emperor may not live long."

Zhao Xin was excited: "Grandpa, are we going to take advantage of this move?" ”

Chen Cao sighed: "I also want to, but now is not the time, Huang Taiji has not fought for a day, Yuan Chonghuan will not die for a day, I will not be able to do it for a day, besides, there are too many people in the world of the Ming Dynasty who care about the Zhu family, and before the people are not completely dead to the Zhu family, I will not raise the banner, and I will support the army and stand on my own feet and create a territory that belongs to us." ”

Zhao Xin looked up at Chen Cao: "Grandpa means that Guangning City is not wanted?" ”

"If Huang Taiji attacks Jingshi and Yuan Chonghuan dies, this Guangning City will be ruined."

Chen Cao looked at the repaired and impregnable Guangning City: "Maybe this city will be another base of Huang Taiji in the future." ”

"Don't Guangning, then where are we going? Could it be to fight Nanjing? ”

Chen Cao laughed: "Nanjing can't go, Nanjing has not been warned, and the nobles who have taken root there for more than 200 years will not give up Nanjing so easily, and the people over there will not accept a new court so easily." ”

"Grandpa," Zhao Xin looked at Chen Cao in disbelief: "Earlier, Grandpa vigorously developed Songjiang Mansion, isn't it?" ”

Chen Cao curled his mouth and nodded: "Suzhou Creek, Wusong River and the Yangtze River cut off Songjiang Mansion, as long as we hold the fortress along the river, we will be the new imperial court;

Don't worry, it's not a matter of talking about this yet, the plan will never catch up with the changes, and let's see how the wind and rain in Beijing change abruptly. ”

...

On the eighth day of August, Nanjing, the Mansion of the State of Wei...

Xu Hongji knew about the emperor's fall into the water, and under the persuasion of Feng Kelie and others, Xu Hongji finally stamped the official seal exposing Chen Cao's rebellion, and then began to prepare for the arrangement.

"It's inevitable that there will be a lot of dreams at night, as long as we restrain the people in Chen Cao's mansion, he will definitely be at our mercy."

Feng Kelie looked at Xu Hongji with a serious face: "Guogong, this matter must not be delayed, the anti-poetry matter has already been known to Jingshi, even Wang Zhichen and Yuan Chonghuan have been on the three notes and talked about this matter, Guogong still has to clear up his relationship with Chen Cao as soon as possible is the best policy;

As long as we stabilize Nanjing, the Holy Lord will definitely not blame the Guogong. ”
