"Nanjing's letter?" Xu Guangqi looked at Wang Qi, the matter of the Nanjing Provisional Cabinet, of course Xu Guangqi knew that the battle of Huishan Nanjing Qinwang's army was defeated, so. What does it mean to write a letter to Wang Qi at this time?

"Go and inform the other councilors, go to Wenyuan Pavilion for a while," Wang Qi first ordered his personal entourage, and then turned his head to look at Xu Guangqi, and shook the letter paper clipped to his finger: "Mr. Xuanhu, Nanjing City, it is estimated that someone is coming."

Wang Qi arrived at the parliament hall with Xu Guangqi in a sedan car.

Because it was from Shijingshan to the city, it took almost an hour and a half to see and arrive at the Wenyuan Pavilion Council Hall.

"Chief!"

"Govern."

"Your Excellency!"

"I've seen Mr. Xuanhu!"

Because Lu Yu was still sitting in Baodi County, so that the recovery of Huangzhuang Tianmu could be carried out smoothly, so when Wang Qi and Xu Guangqi entered the palace, there were only four people in the hall: Ye Xianggao, Sun Chengzong, Wang Huazhen, and Wang Tiqian.

The seven-person council hall is not big, there are only seven chairs, and the location is not too conspicuous, it is really a side hall of the council hall, a small door, but because the front is facing south, the room is bright in the middle of the day.

Wang Qi naturally sat in the top position.

The rest of the people sat in their respective seats.

"This is a letter from Nanjing City, please take a look." Wang Qi had already seen it when he was on the road, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he handed the letter to the waiter on the side, and passed it down one by one.

In a short time, everyone in the temple had already seen it.

"The city of Nanjing is going to send an embassy to Beijing." Ye Xianggao was the first to speak, with a sneer on his face: "The defeat of the first battle of Huishan made the Nanjing Zhugong recognize the reality, so I can't wait to send a message to sue for peace, but I want to see when I learn the news that Wu Xiang and Zuo Liangyu have returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Gao Panlong, Zuo Guangdou, what kind of expressions are those people!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng burned the lake, did not spend a single soldier, and did not move, he frightened Wu Xiang and Zuo Liangyu and retreated, and retreated thousands of miles directly, and finally let Lu Xiangsheng, who arrived on the horse, not even see a ghost.

This big victory completely made the balance between Beijing and Nanjing topple up, and the right to speak has been completely in the hands of Beijing City.

And, most importantly, now even the ordinary people of Beijing are beginning to realize the importance of the emperor in hand.

As long as the emperor is still in the hands of Wang Qi, then everything in Beijing will be famous, while Nanjing will be precarious, and the legitimacy of the provisional cabinet will be questioned at any time.

After all, you Gao Panlong can form a temporary cabinet for King Qin, so can I Zhang Sanxing? Can I Li Si?

You say who is the minister, then who is the minister, why?

With your long beard? With your fame?

Nanjing City, there are many people with qualifications and reputation, but not just a high climbing dragon!

Ye Xianggao sat in Beijing City, and he could think of the undercurrent surging in Nanjing City!

Gao Panlong is now equivalent to being roasted on a fire.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, neither advance nor retreat!

Therefore, Shi Kefa could only be sent to Beijing to try to welcome back the emperor!

"Want to welcome back the Emperor? It's too whimsical, "Sun Chengzong stroked his beard, he didn't want to hurt the emperor, but he didn't want the emperor to go out of Beijing."

Now, parliament and scientific societies are slowly getting on the right track, and the entire northern provinces are slowly beginning to enter the mode of parliamentary rule

After all, after learning about the ruling model of parliament, Sun Chengzong believed that no scholar would reject parliamentary politics!

This is the real scholar and doctor ruling the world!

Truly sway his own governance philosophy, not to be the emperor's dog, or to be the emperor's pen, or just to stand in the court, and don't know why when something happens.

Now, Wang Qi has realized this dream of a scholar.

Whoever comes to destroy him is the enemy of all the members of the parliament!

"Hey, the emperor's condition is getting worse now, our family doesn't have to worry about His Majesty going out of the imperial city, traveling thousands of miles to Nanjing City." Wang Tiqian, as one of the more special members of the Seven Congressmen, who was specifically responsible for controlling the imperial city, naturally did not agree to this suggestion of Nanjing City.

"Also, there's one thing to be aware of." Wang Huazhen gently fiddled with the tea lid and looked at everyone: "The emperor is not in a good state now, is he allowed to allow the delegation to meet the Son of Heaven?" ”

If you don't let you see it, then there is some suspicion that there are no silver three hundred taels here.

If you let me see it, such a crazy emperor will make the world laugh!

At that time, although the legitimacy of the imperial power was fine, the rationality of the imperial power was greatly reduced.

It's hard to guarantee that the people in Nanjing City won't have any other thoughts!

"Hey, what? Does he Shi Kefa dare to set up a new king? Wang Tiqian raised his eyebrows immediately: "Give him eight guts!" ”

"Don't be angry, the old man didn't say that, but you have to be on guard against this possibility," Wang Huazhen's gaze fell on Wang Qi: "Chief. You see? ”

"If you want to see the emperor, you can, if the battle between the north and the south can be avoided," Wang Qi glanced at everyone: "I don't want to die too many people, after all, they are all comrades of the people, and the swords and soldiers are facing each other, which is not my intention." ”

"Princess-in-law, just in the Qianqing Palace, arrange a meeting," Wang Qi doesn't care, as long as the emperor is still in Beijing, he doesn't believe that Nanjing City can turn the sky!

“.” Frowning tightly, Wang Tiqian looked a little hesitant.

"Huh?" Wang Qi narrowed his eyes and said softly, "Is there any problem?" ”

"Hehehe, it's okay, it's nothing," shaking his head, Wang Tiqian stumbled: "Our family will arrange it." ”

This Inner Palace Da Jue seems to be in a rather heavy mood.

Wang Qi lowered his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

After a short time, the discussion was over, and the clerk sorted out the minutes and stored the files for inspection.

"Princess, stay," Wang Qi sat on a chair and called out to Wang Tiqian, who was about to leave.

"Grandpa Guo," when no one was around, Wang Tiqian was still used to calling Wang Qi's lord name.

"Sit down," nodded, Wang Qi motioned for Wang Tiqian to sit down and speak: "Do you have any other opinions about the visit of the Nanjing mission?" There is no one here, and you can talk freely. ”

Every time it is the parliament, there will be a note of the attaché, and there are some things that these members really do not want to say.

Wang Tiqian's brows twisted into a Chuanzi, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "The emperor has a heart disease, if he is allowed to see people outside at this time, I am worried that there will be extraneous branches." ”

"What do you mean?"

"In the inner palace, those eunuchs are not so handy," Wang Tiqian looked at the young man in front of him who he respected very much: "Guogong, the Yulin Wei and Jinyi Wei sent by your subordinates, although they are powerful, but those people are all outside the imperial city, the real three palaces and six courtyards, and the inner palace are all controlled by the eunuchs and palace maids. ”

"When the emperor was not crazy, maybe out of loyalty to the emperor, maybe out of a trace of expectation for the future, they were waiting in the inner palace, cautious, and did not cause trouble, and they would accept it if they had a little dissent, but now that the situation has changed, the emperor has no hope."

Wang Tiqian didn't say the following words, and Wang Qi didn't ask, but he could already guess it.

It's nothing more than two words: palace change?

"Those powerless eunuchs and palace eunuchs in the inner palace?" To be honest, Wang Qi really didn't take that group of people seriously.

But Wang Tiqian, who was sitting opposite, frowned and was full of worries.

"That's it," Wang Qi was finally willing to follow Wang Tiqian's suggestion, and knocked on the table: "After this matter is over, the group of people in Nanjing will go back, and all the palace ladies and eunuchs in the palace will be replaced, just as Cao Wenzhao's war in Korea is about to end, and tens of thousands of captives and Korean royal families have to deal with, except for most of the laborers who are sent to China as wasteland and slave laborers in newly opened iron ore wool and textile factories, you pick a group and add them to the inner palace, so that they can serve the emperor."

"Well, that's a solution," Wang Tiqian nodded.

To tell the truth, these days, I eat and live in the inner palace every day, and I have to be nervous almost every day for twelve hours, lest I make a little mistake and live with Wang Qi.

Wang Tiqian was also a little unbearable.

————

Inner Palace, Qianqing Palace.

The emperor is still so crazy, whether it is eating or taking medicine, he has to have seven or eight palace eunuchs to get started, press the emperor to the ground, break his mouth with his hands, and forcibly pour food and water into it.

Several times, it almost made the emperor breathless.

After all, if you force liquid food to be instilled, you will get stuck in the throat if you are not careful.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao sat stupidly on the rocking chair outside the Qianqing Palace, looking at the sky in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking, there were only two palace ladies around him.

"You say, is the emperor really crazy?" Not far away, under the stone steps, two blue-shirted eunuchs stood hiding from the sun.

"It's been more than a month, who can pretend to be crazy for a month?" The black-faced eunuch looked at the emperor sitting on the threshold, and his already black face seemed to be even more gloomy: "If I were the emperor, I would have stomped on him with a knife when Wang Qi came last time!" Big deal, die! ”

"Just you! Also the emperor? A guy who has no children and grandchildren," the white-faced eunuch on the side sneered: "Do you think it is so easy to assassinate the Duke of Qi?" Every time the Duke of Qi came to the palace, he only informed me half an hour in advance, and everyone who approached the Duke of Qi for a hundred steps would be searched! Only the palace maids are allowed to serve, we eunuchs, forget it! ”

"Half a year ago, he was the king of a country, and now he has become like this, which is really embarrassing!" The black-faced eunuch shook his head: "I'd rather die." ”

"Ahem." The white-faced eunuch was just about to speak, when he suddenly saw the Fengluan honor guard in the distance, he subconsciously coughed, and pulled the black-faced eunuch away: "The queen is here. Hurry up, we're lazy when we get caught! ”

"Let's go!"

After that, the two eunuchs who were still chatting in the summer under the stone steps slipped away.

Now, in the palace, the eunuchs are not afraid of the emperor.

After all, the emperor has no power and is crazy again.

It's not Wang Tiqian, after all, although the prince is in charge of the imperial city, he generally doesn't meet the little eunuchs, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, there will be no punishment.

In fact, the most feared is the queen Zhang Yan.

The emperor is crazy, and Wang Tiqian can't be by the emperor's side all the time, so he can only rely on this queen mother.

Therefore, in the inner palace, the most powerful one is now Queen Zhang.

A few days ago, a little eunuch was found by Empress Zhang because he poured a cup of boiling water for the emperor, and he was immediately dragged out and killed.

The crowd was silent.

But after Wang Tiqian found out, he only said one sentence: The husband is sick, and the wife and concubine are a little irritable, human nature, and trivial matters.

As soon as these words came out, the entire inner palace, Queen Zhang's power, was indispensable, and almost no one dared to disobey.

At the gate of the Qianqing Palace, the queen's guard of honor slowly stopped.

With the support of the palace maid, Empress Zhang stepped forward, squatted down and gently wiped the saliva from the emperor's mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and the pity and helplessness on her face were undoubtedly revealed.

"How long has the emperor been in the sun?" Standing up, Empress Zhang asked the two palace laves.

"It's been half an hour since I returned to the queen's mother," Gong E replied cautiously.

"Carry the emperor in," Empress Zhang gave her a look, and five or six strong eunuchs stepped forward to lift the emperor up and move him to the palace.

And Zhang Yan also slowly entered the Qianqing Palace.

"Let's all go out," waved her hand casually, and Empress Zhang sat on the stool and sent everyone back.

Not long after, in the entire hall, there were only Empress Zhang and the emperor.

"Your Majesty," Zhang Yan looked at her husband, her beautiful eyes full of distress.

But after a while, the emperor still didn't react, still staring blankly at the position of the dome.

Stretched out his hand, wanting to silently open the emperor's cheeks, but when his hands were halfway out, he retracted, and Zhang Yan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the way you are now, if you let the group of people in Nanjing City see it, I am afraid that the hearts of the people will be lost."

How can an emperor who has no ability to take care of himself let his courtiers work for him?

Take a step back and talk about it, even if the restoration is successful, can you be the emperor?

Do you know who is the Servant of the Dragon? Who is the reinventor?

To do things, we must pay attention to costs and benefits.

Once the people of the world know that the emperor has become like this, can the banner of King Qin's savior still be raised?

Thinking of this, the queen sucked her lips lightly, and her slender legs curled up, as if she wanted to lean on the emperor, but the emperor himself was already unable to support it, how could he support others?

The queen's pink lips opened slightly, her eyes were misty, and she sighed after all.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty can only be you." The queen silently stretched out her hand, her fingers finally touched the emperor's cheek, and in a trance, the emperor's eyes seemed to move.

After a while, the queen straightened her robe and stood up: "Someone is coming." ”

"The Slave is Here"

"The weather has been hot these days, let the governor prepare for it, didn't the inner palace build three treasure ships? Let the emperor go up to the boat and sit, or change the direction, rely on the water vapor more, and soothe the spirit! ”

"Slave and maid."

"In addition, call the steward eunuch of the Supervision Division, this palace has something to ask."

"Command!"

Not long after, in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the queen met Yu En, the eunuch who supervised the construction.

"Slave maid Yu En, knock to see the mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"After the three treasure ships are built, can they be launched and tried?" The queen condescendedly and looked at the big eunuch kneeling on the ground.

"Back to the queen's mother, I have already tried the water, and it is foolproof, it was originally the emperor who was going to give" The big eunuch was halfway through his words, and suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said: "The slave is guilty!" It's time to fight! It's time to fight!! ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself a few times.

Indeed, the three treasure ships were all congratulatory gifts prepared by the emperor to the Duke of Qi to marry Princess Ningde.

Now it seems that it is not needed.

"It's good to have tried, but if something happens, do you know the consequences?" The queen's beautiful eyes have an indescribable murderous aura for some reason.

"The slave and maid guarantee their lives with their net worth, and they are foolproof!" Yu En knocked his head three times.

"Well, let's go down," waving her hand, the queen said casually, "Eat something good for the next two days." ”

Yu En, who was about to bow down and retreat, shook his body and almost fell to the ground. (End of chapter)
