The news of Emperor Hongzhi's fainting has not yet been passed down, and Wei Cheng probably heard it from Zhu Houzhao's mouth.

The more critical this kind of time, the more the imperial court needs stability, Lu Qi, as the officer of the three major battalions guarding the Beijing Division, is easy to make the nervous Yanguan look unhappy if he runs around at this time.

So after hearing the news, Lu Qi hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Yin'er and the two and went back to the camp overnight.

Not only inside and outside the court, but also in the current palace.

In the class room where the cabinet ministers are on duty on weekdays, the cabinet elders, the six ministers and the ministers on duty gather together, with cold residual tea in their hands.

There were so many people in the room, but none of them made a sound, and everyone was anxiously waiting for an important piece of news that related to the entire imperial court and even the entire Ming Empire.

It's sunset, and it's still hot and humid in the classroom.

At this time, the eunuchs went to the dormitory to serve, and the room gradually darkened. Taifu Li Dongyang took the fire fold and lit the oil lamp on the bookcase.

The dim light had just illuminated a corner of the class room, and suddenly a demonic wind blew from nowhere, drilled into the door, and blew out the lights.

"Huh?"

Li Dongyang was about to go again, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside, and a figure holding a dusty hand came in and said sharply: "Long live the Lord's message!" ”

It turned out to be the eunuch of Wang Yue's ceremonial eunuch, Li Bi.

Finally breaking the silence in the squad room, a group of old ministers stood up suddenly, and Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, asked nervously: "How is Your Majesty?" Your Majesty is awake? ”

"Liu Shangshu." An old voice stopped him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Liu Jian, the head of the cabinet.

Liu Jian is more than seventy years old, wearing a jade belt python robe, his temples are white, and his body is still very tough, and he took the lead in saluting Li Bi: "Liu Shangshu is worried about Your Majesty, but etiquette cannot be abolished." ”

Only then did everyone react and salute Li Bi together: "Your Ministers respectfully invite Saint Ann! ”

Li Biao bowed to the air: "Holy bow!" Long live the lord said, you are old, and it is not easy to work for the country, please go back to the house to rest immediately, and order the imperial horse supervisor to send chariots and horses to send each other. ”

Several people listened to the will and looked at each other.

Emperor Hongzhi's illness has been recurring for a long time, but after his illness, he will always summon a few courtiers to appease the hearts of the people below.

Today, however, it is unusual for the ministers to wait for a long time outside the class room and outside the noon gate, but no one has been summoned.

"Then what did the Imperial Doctor say?" Liu Daxia grabbed Li Bi's sleeve: "Your Majesty, his dragon body ......"

I saw Li Bi shaking his head at him: "Liu Shangshu, it's not that our family doesn't tell you, it's just that you should also understand the rules, right?" I can't ask any more. ”

It seems that Emperor Hongzhi is really not good...... Liu Daxia let go of Li Bi's sleeve, and his heart slowly sank into the cold abyss.

The people of the Imperial Horse Supervisor were already waiting outside the door, and the ministers and scholars had to board the car and return home.

Li Dongyang, who was still not giving up, instructed the minister on duty: "Lord Jiao, if there is any holy edict in the dormitory later, or something happens...... Don't miss out! ”

Master Jiao heard what he meant, and solemnly saluted: "Xiaguan is saved!" ”

The moonlight was obscured by floating clouds, and the wind came and fell at night, blowing the beard and hair, with a chilling chill.

Looking back at the majestic palace, covering the depths of the nine gates, Liu Jian stared silently and his thoughts fluttered. He is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he is already a great minister in this dynasty, but the third monarch he has met in this life is about to go before him.

No one could tell what Liu Jian's mood was at this time, only the little yellow gate of the Imperial Horse Supervisor was in the night breeze and waited with him for a long time.

Li Dongyang and the others, who had left earlier, had already returned to the mansion, and every courtier who had a sensitivity to the court situation was trying their best to inquire about Emperor Hongzhi's physical condition.

The person who sent off the imperial horse guard, Li Dongyang took off his court clothes and called at the same time: "Go and invite Mr. Chu!" ”

Soon, Mr. Chu appeared in the study: "Gong Li, how is Your Majesty?" ”

"Alas, I don't know anything." Li Dongyang shook his head: "Your Majesty's dragon health is a matter of the imperial court. Sir, why don't you ask the snake ant trail and see what news you can get? ”

Mr. Chu pursed his lips: "There must be martial law everywhere in the palace, and it is more difficult to inquire." Okay, I'm going to give it a try. ”

……

At this time, in the dormitory, Emperor Hongzhi finally woke up after half a day of rescue.

The crimson drape curtain swayed slightly in the wind, and the treasure glazed book lamp rotated, and under the lamp was Emperor Hongzhi, who was lying on the dragon bed with a pale face, and there were three old eunuchs who did not dare to come out.

The eunuch Wang Yue, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, Miao Kui, the eunuch of the imperial horse, and Fan Ting, the commander of the East Factory.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the three right-hand eunuchs, and their foreheads and sideburns also grew gray hair. Yes, I have also come to the time when the oil is exhausted, time is a thing, it is really ruthless!

"It's too early."

Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes tiredly.

Wang Yue hurriedly raised his head: "Long live, what's too early?" ”

What is too early?

The prince is still such a nonsense character, and the killer weapon left for him has not yet been cultivated, so he just leaves, isn't it too early?

His photo, he saw his eldest precious son since he was a child, as if he was still babbling yesterday, with bare chubby feet, running up the high steps in the panic of the eunuchs, throwing himself at his feet, and shouting happily: "Father! ”

Emperor Hongzhi stretched out his hand and grabbed the phantom in front of him, and then regretfully returned to reality.

Yes, his Zhao'er can't be a child forever, he always has to grow up, and as a qualified monarch, he has to take on the responsibility of the entire Ming Kingdom.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the three eunuchs below, when he was still alive, these people were his tools and his loyal servants.

But what would happen to these people if he died?

Will they bully Zhao'er when they are young, like those thieves who bully their masters in the history books, and do bastard things? Emperor Hongzhi still deeply remembers how he was coaxed by Li Guang in the first place!

How much power did Li Guangcai wield? The following three people are in charge of the most confidential things factory in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the three major battalions of the Beijing Division! If they join forces to blind the emperor, will Zhao'er become deaf and blind?

And the account book submitted by Lu Yun a while ago sounded a new alarm bell for him.

The dignified officer of the Shenji Battalion actually resold firearms for such a small profit! The East and West Factory and Jinyiwei have been visiting for days, and three days have passed, and they can't even find a buyer?

Emperor Hongzhi's hesitant gaze wandered around the three, was there any of these three who was hiding for the buyer? Is there anyone who is in the same party as Zhao Yongqi, who sells firearms privately?

Above the court, those who never leave the teachings of the saints every day and the books of the sages do not leave their hands, will anyone be Zhao Yongqi's comrades?

I can't find an answer yet.

But for the time being, Emperor Hongzhi can't afford to wait.

Therefore, he issued a holy decree to put Lu Qi in charge of the right outpost camp and arm the whole camp with a new flintlock gun.

Bypass the craftsman's bureau and start anew, and find a newcomer who doesn't have many connections to take charge of the whole camp, so that you can firmly control the new firecracker with better performance in your own hands.

"Intended."

The three of them were standing in a daze, when they suddenly heard a soft voice from above, Wang Yue hurriedly responded, invited the yellow silk dragon silk, dipped it in the inkstone emblem ink, and just waited for the holy decree of the book.

"The British public is not strict in the management of the Shenji Battalion, and the lieutenant generals and colonels of the army embezzle military salaries and ignore military discipline. He was removed from his post as a battalion officer, and the affairs of the battalion were temporarily handled by the two lieutenant generals. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said such a long sentence in one breath, he was already out of breath, and he rested for a while before continuing: "The Imperial Horse supervised the forbidden army of Wuxiang and Tengxiang's four guard camps, and transferred out of Ouchi to guard the nine gates. ”

Miao Kui, who lowered his head, was taken aback, Emperor Hongzhi was wary of the Imperial Horse Supervisor?

"The three major battalions are stationed around the Beijing Division, and the right sentry battalion of the Shenji Battalion is dispatched to the palace to garrison and patrol the sentry board."

The pen was used to seal, the holy decree was completed, and the three eunuchs hurriedly bowed their heads, and no one dared to say anything.

Glancing at the holy decree, Emperor Hongzhi was already very stuck, and the phantom and reality in front of him were mixed, and he didn't know where it was true and where it was illusory.

I could only insist on ordering someone to call the prince to come to the audience, and then fell into a deep sleep.
