Chapter 452: The Darkest Hour: The Mystery of the Empress Dowager Zhang (6)

"Before seizing the door, Empress Dowager Sun tested me."

"Because the secret agents in the Qianqing Palace haven't spread the news for a long time, she panicked."

"So come and test me."

"I made the biggest mistake when I went to see her, and I was almost poisoned."

"But if I don't go, it's very likely that the change of seizing the door won't happen, then these enemies are hiding here, and I can't find them."

"So, I took a risk and went to Renshou Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Sun."

"I still remember that Empress Dowager Sun almost poisoned me with a bowl of medicine, and at that time, I really had no room to resist."

"Fortunately, Empress Dowager Sun did not go to extremes."

"In other words, she is not willing to exchange her life for my life!"

"It took me many years to realize that she loved herself more than her son."

"After I got out by luck, I went from perceiving it to basically determining that something was wrong."

"I'll let Wang Cheng take back the key to the palace gate."

"At this time, I found out that the guards of Donghua Gate, Menda was wrong, I tortured Menda, and he didn't confess."

"The more this happens, the more suspicious I become."

"It can even be determined that Zhu Qizhen is going to be restored! I have the time to react as quickly as possible! That's what I can do, the only preparation! ”

"Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the change of seizing the door happened!"

"I've never seen it, my brother is so brave, no wonder he can personally conquer Warat, no wonder he can lead the Warat army to attack Beijing City!"

"It turns out that he is also a fierce general!"

"When he led people to attack the palace gate, I realized that he was a fierce general!"

"He shouldn't be the emperor."

"He should be a general!"

"He shouldn't have beaten Warat, he should have beaten his own people!"

"Just like in the first year of Jingtai, he led the Warat people to attack the city of Beijing, so I named him the king of Mobei, and he is really suitable to be the king of Mobei."

Zhu Jianyu could see that his father hated Zhu Qizhen to the extreme.

Judging from his later performance, the old emperor doesn't seem to have much revenge on Zhu Qizhen, which shows that his father's feelings for Zhu Qizhen are complicated.

"Outside the palace gate, he led a strong army and completely controlled the situation."

"I am inside the palace gate, like a lamb to the slaughter, I don't know what the road ahead is, and I don't know whether I will live or die?"

"I asked him, what is benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and filial piety?"

"He was so angry that he led a large army to storm the palace gate, and I knew that I had touched the sore spot in his heart!"

"It turns out that he also has guilt, fear, and anxiety!"

"I thought that after he killed so many people, he would be at peace!"

But his uneasiness turned into anger and bombarded me! A second assault on the throne! ”

"It's ridiculous, and shameless!"

"Alas, that change was a turning point in my life."

"The archives in the palace, you should have seen it."

"The whole process is very tense and exciting, the rebels have already attacked and entered the Fengtian Temple!"

"Just a little bit, the arrow killed me!"

"It was Wang Qin who saved me with his life, and also kept my throne."

"When Fan Guang jumped into the Fengtian Palace, it was half an hour later than the time I estimated."

"It was because it was half an hour late that the rebels reached the Fengtian Temple!"

"The hall is in shambles!"

"The arrow was just a little bit short of taking my life!"

"Fourth, who do you think I should blame?"

Zhu Qiyu laughed suddenly: "In the first eight years, I was indeed not a good emperor, and compared with the orthodox emperor who worked hard, I was indeed inferior to him." ”

"After the turmoil in Yichu, my thoughts fell on giving birth to a son, which chilled the loyal ministers of the court."

"They must be thinking in their hearts, it is better to let the orthodox emperor be restored, anyway, it is stupid to have this emperor sitting on it."

"I can't blame anyone else, blame me!"

"I'm so kind to them!"

"Strange I treat them as human beings!"

"I was wrong!"

"When Fan Guang jumped into the Fengtian Temple to save the driver, I knew that I was wrong!"

"I treat everyone in the world as a human being!"

"That's why they don't treat me as a human being!"

"Shun worships the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty as a god!"

"So they take me like a fart!"

"Then I am this fart, let them see and see, the emperor is angry, and he will bleed millions!"

"Zhu Qizhen is still angry, and he can make the entire north fall!"

"I'm the emperor too! Even if the world falls! ”

"At that time, I had a crazy idea left, I would rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me!"

"Yes!"

"I'm crazy!"

"I've been crazy from that moment on!"

"Killing people won't solve my problem! Then I'm going to kill them all! ”

"Yu Qian is late, I only ask him one question, do you want to be Cao Cao? If you want to be, I am here, kill me, set up Zhu Jianshen to ascend the throne, and let him be the emperor of Han Xian, you are Cao Cao! ”

"At that time, Yu Qian held the military power in his hands, and the military power in the Beijing camp was in his hands, and there was no one around me who could be used!"

"If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to question him like this, besides, the orthodox emperor is still there, he can completely behead me and support the orthodox emperor to ascend the throne."

"But he's Yu Qian! Yu Qian, who won the battle to defend Beijing, may hate me, but he also hates the orthodox emperor! He may be late and procrastinate, but he won't be openly rebellious! ”

"I didn't know anything about him before, and I sent people to guard against him."

"But at that moment, I understood everything, and I understood him."

"I told you that Yu Qian is a very strange person, I have never figured him out in my life, I only know one thing, he wants to be a saint."

"Yes, he is a cynical person, he has a lot of opinions about the dark government, the weak country and the poor people, he should have escaped from the world."

"When he was young, he still wanted to save the common people, but when he was old, he just wanted to be a hidden immortal."

"It was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who was not angry, forced him to lead the troops to fight, forced him to save the Ming Dynasty, and forced him to be an angry worldly."

"Whether it is the orthodox emperor or me, he is dissatisfied."

"But he doesn't talk much, he can't express it."

"The moment he was late, I understood, he looked down on me, thinking that I had been the emperor for eight years and had guarded against Zhu Qizhen for six years, but I didn't stop him; It's ridiculous to joke that I've been an emperor for eight years, and I don't even have a few hardcore generals. ”

"At the same time, you are also laughing at the orthodox emperor, do you still want to take the country again and lose Jiangnan again?"

"Only the orthodox emperor didn't understand, and he still hoped that Yu Qian could support him."

"So, I asked him."

"Yu Qian didn't even dare to think about it, he had already abandoned the world, how could he still do anything Cao Cao, I knew at that time that I had won!"

"No matter how powerful Yu Qian is, the military power in his hand is also mine!"

"He's just manipulating the military power for me!"

"That night, I killed a lot of people."

"However, killing people can't solve the problem, and killing people can't save Daming."

"I can't even keep my throne."

"If Zhu Qizhen can escape from prison and rebel once, there will be a second time!"

"In the political struggle, there will always be people who fail, and there will always be people who are delusional and try to get the merit of the dragon, and they will definitely support Zhu Qizhen again."

"The solution, just one, kill Zhu Qizhen!"

"But!"

"I don't have military power in my hands, I don't control finance, I don't control the ministry, I don't have anything, what do I use to kill?"

"I know very well that I can't kill him."

"Then I will kill another person who is a great threat to the throne, King Xiang!"

"Emperor Renzong has three sons-in-law, and one of them died, leaving King Xiang, an old immortal!"

"He's damned!"

"It doesn't matter if he covets the empress of the first emperor, or his status as the concubine of Renzong!"

"He's damned!"

"If you don't kill an uncle, who knows that I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! It's a legacy! ”

"Regardless of everyone's opposition, I ordered King Xiang to be cooked!"

"Cook his whole family!"

"Don't look at me sitting on the throne, in fact, the throne is still three people away from me, King Xiang, Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Qizhen!"

"After cutting off these three people, I will be able to sit on the throne!"

"So, the people who killed on the night of the door snatching are all appetizers!"

"I thought it was very relieving, but in the eyes of the courtiers, it was just a petty family, and I didn't understand politics at all."

"I know very well that the courtiers who knelt at my feet at that time were laughing at me!"

"What about cooking King Xiang, as long as Zhu Qizhen is kept, those losers in the political struggle will continue to rebel with the help of Zhu Qizhen, and Jingtai will never stop the political struggle."

"And the more I kill, the more people think I'm incompetent."

Zhu Qiyu let out a breath of turbidity: "After the change of seizing the door, the three things in front of me are to cure my illness, master the military power, and regain the imperial power." ”

"Every single one of them is incredibly difficult."

"Moreover, there are many people in the palace, and the spies of all parties are all over the palace, this imperial city is a pocket that is breathable, and anything can be passed out, and even I let out a fart, what time it is released, what smell, everyone in the world knows, there are no secrets."

"I must clean up the palace first, and everything is crowded together, I can only drive all the palace people out of the palace."

"The entire imperial city has become a ghost town."

"Not a single one."

"Then, I forcibly ordered all the doctors in the capital to enter the palace and lock them in the palace to diagnose my pulse."

"Regain the brocade guard, reorganize the East Factory, block the palace gate, no one is allowed to open the door without an edict, and then win over Fan Guang, and transfer the Henan Reserve Army into Beijing."

"I will also bury all the living concubines of the previous dynasty, including the palace people who served them."

"My food is made by a few capable people in the Qianqing Palace, and the simplest meal can be cooked."

"I asked all the healers to take my pulse and see what kind of disease I had."

"Shun Teng touched the melon, caught the spy in the hospital!"

The results are shocking, many imperial doctors are from Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qizhen, and there are many imperial doctors who don't even know a word, and they are actually treating nobles in the palace and in the court! How ridiculous? ”

"In a fit of rage, I slaughtered the entire Tai Hospital!"

"Some people who don't deserve to die will be sent to the army to be military doctors, and the whole clan will be admitted to the army."

"Those damned ones, all of them will be wiped out!"

"As for those who kill me, the whole clan is Ling Chi!"

"I didn't dare to believe it anymore, so I tortured the eunuchs, palace maids, and imperial doctors of the entire imperial pharmacy, and those who were not guilty were sent out of the palace, and all the guilty were killed."

"I don't dare to use the medicine from the imperial pharmacy."

"I sent someone to move all the medicinal materials of the Jingshi into the palace, let the eunuch stare at the people and boil, after boiling he drank it first, and he was picking a hundred doctors to drink!"

"Then the eunuch drinks, then the Tang Empress drinks, and the concubine talks!"

"It's the last thing I drink!"

"Pick random people to drink every day!"

"I'm afraid of death."

Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "I can't die, I want revenge!" ”

"The meal is the same, after the cook finishes cooking, he eats it first, and sends it from the Shangshi Bureau to the Qianqing Palace, and everyone has to eat it all the way!"

"Send it to the Qianqing Palace, the eunuch eats, the palace maid eats, the queen eats, the concubine talks, and finally I eat!"

"It's like this at every meal."

"Concubine Tan treats me, I can't trust her completely, Hu Hu is a master of medicine, I will let him and Concubine Tan prescribe medicine at the same time, see who is right and who is wrong!"

"I'm walking on thin ice!"

"In those days, every second has been taken apart."

"There are too many things I have to do, health comes first, the emperor doesn't have a good body, no one is willing to support you."

"Sure enough, no one assassinated, and my body recovered quickly, and I began to exercise."

Zhu Qiyu said: "In the past few days, I have not opened the palace gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. ”

"I'm waiting for my time."

"Waiting for the Henan Reserve Army to enter Beijing, at this time, I will send Song Jie and Song Wei out of the palace to control the Reserve Army for me."

"Song Wei recommended Li Jin and Chen Shao, who were in charge of the Imperial Horse Army and the Praetorian Guard, so that the safety of the imperial city could be taken into account."

"But the courtiers won't watch me take the initiative, and all kinds of rumors have arisen among the people, all of which refer to Sang scolding Huai Zhen."

"To be an emperor, you must have a strong heart."

"After the preparatory army enters Beijing, I will begin to seize power."

"The biggest enemy standing in front of me is Chen Xun."

"Chen Xunqi is not an orthodox emperor, but I am a pot on his head."

"Chen Xun, I promoted him."

"But he has a backbone in the back of his head, he doesn't want the emperor to take over the imperial power, he wants the cabinet to command the world, he just does this first assistant."

"To tell the truth, the emperor lost the imperial power, starting from the Empress Dowager Zhang, she really didn't listen to the government, but it was better to listen to the government."

"She generously gave the imperial power to Sanyang, and since then, the imperial power of the Ming Emperor has weakened, and it started with her!"

"She died in the seventh year of Orthodoxy, and I have always suspected that she was a puppet of the civil officials."

"Standing behind the torrent of history, looking at her again, I almost confirm that she was supported by civil officials."

"It's also her family, and her relatives are officially knighted."

"I will tell you about this old lady, I have a deep impression of her, my childhood and youth are in the shadow of her."

"Empress Dowager Zhang is the empress of Emperor Renzong."

"She was able to escape the darkest moment of politics in the Yongle Dynasty, and she was like a fish in water in the Xuande Dynasty, and when she reached the orthodox Dynasty, she listened to the government and the opposition."

"Although it was praised by later generations."

"But as the emperor, I clearly know that she is the culprit of the fall of imperial power."

"The loss of the imperial power of the orthodox emperor is directly related to her."

"Moreover, the orthodox emperor was in the orthodox seventh year, and he was only fourteen years old at the time, because the Empress Dowager Zhang died that year."

"The orthodox emperor is in charge in advance."

"Do you know that if the Empress Dowager Zhang does not die, will the orthodox emperor be able to govern in person?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "In the sixth year of orthodoxy, the orthodox emperor began to regain imperial power, but the Empress Dowager Zhang refused to let go of power, and had to wait until the orthodox emperor was sixteen years old. ”

"But she died suddenly!"

Zhu Jianxi's face changed slightly: "What do you mean?" What did the Orthodox Emperor do? ”

"I don't know, I didn't dare to participate in the government at that time, but with the character of an orthodox emperor, he must have done it."

"The royal family, how can there be any blood and family affection."

"It is impossible for the Empress Dowager Zhang to delegate power."

"Holding on to power, not letting go, as an emperor, how can you live under people?"

"Do you know, where does the power of the Empress Dowager Zhang come from?"

"It was given to her by a courtier!"

"At the same time, there is also Empress Dowager Sun!"

"It's the head of the two houses!"

"After the death of Emperor Xuanzong, the courtiers asked the empress dowager of the two palaces to come out to preside over the government."

"But later, only one palace was left to govern, and Empress Dowager Sun never presided, I am very sure of this."

"Moreover, at that time, the courtiers gave the Empress Dowager Zhang a dismissal, and they called it Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qiyu's face was gloomy: "Why did the hundred officials give her the right to govern?" ”

"You must know that the political system of the Ming Dynasty, even if there is no emperor, the world can operate normally, as long as the cabinet and the celebrant check and balance each other, it doesn't matter if the emperor is young."

"I just gave the Empress Dowager Zhang the right to govern."

"The edict of the first emperor does not have this article!"

"The first emperor never thought about letting the queen mother of the two palaces rule!"

"Because, in the Hongwu Dynasty, there is a dead rule that concubines are not allowed to interfere in politics!"

"It's Yang Shiqi who broke the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu!"

"He's the sinner!"

"Hmph, civil officials casually break the ancestral system, but the emperor is not allowed to break the ancestral system, what is the reason?"

"So, I cut Yang Shiqi's roots!"

"Didn't Yang Shiqi want to expand the power of the gentry? Do you want to make your family a family? Okay! I gave him a good name, but killed him of the Nine Clans! ”

"Didn't the Empress Dowager Zhang lose her imperial power for her own power?"

"Okay!"

"I also gave her a good reputation, but destroyed her foreign people!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were crazy: "Orthodox Emperor, I must have the same idea as me at that time, I believe in my brother." ”

"He's more capable than mine."

"It must have been him who killed the Empress Dowager Zhang!"

"Only then can I be in charge of the government in advance!"

"And the executor is Wang Zhen!"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "There are many eunuchs around me, and there are also eunuchs who died for me, but I am far from reaching the feelings of the orthodox emperor for Wang Zhen. ”

"Therefore, I conclude that the orthodox emperor regards Wang Zhen as a father-like existence."

"And Wang Zhen, living up to the trust, helped the orthodox emperor get rid of the only stumbling block on the road to pro-government, Empress Dowager Zhang!"

"Don't forget, at that time, Shangshu was in charge of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, in addition to the Empress Dowager Zhang, there was also the Empress Dowager Sun."

"How can Empress Dowager Sun be willing to lose her own political power?"

"So, she must have been involved and played a very important role."

"Because, her death is the same as that of Emperor Xuanzong!"

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "It's too similar!" ”

"In the ninth year of Xuande, Emperor Xuanzong was still patrolling the border, and his body was extremely healthy, but when he arrived in the first month of the tenth year of Xuande, he suddenly became seriously ill and died in the blink of an eye."

"Empress Dowager Zhang is also like this, she suddenly became seriously ill, Yang Shiqi's Shangshu is not finished, and the person is dead!"

"It's too fast!"

"It's so fast that it catches people off guard!"

"And immediately, the orthodox emperor was in power, he overthrew everything about the Empress Dowager Zhang, drove out Sanyang, and began his ambitious political career."

"Say, did he do it?"
