Unexpectedly, before Emperor Zhengde read the letter, there was nothing, but after reading the letter, the hand holding the letterhead kept trembling, and the expression on his face first became pale, and then turned red, obviously extremely angry. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know if he finished reading it, and it didn't take long for him to slap the letter on the imperial case, and roared angrily: "How can this be true, Liu Jin, what is written on this is true?"

You must know that Emperor Zhengde has always honored Liu Jin with Liu Gong, which is one of the reasons why the courtiers called Liu Jin like this.

But now that he finished reading the letter, his originally sluggish expression disappeared, and in his place, Long Yan was furious. As the old saying goes, when the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed, and blood is lost.

Although Emperor Zhengde is quite gentle on weekdays, with occasional bad deeds, he is not brutal, so his anger will not cause large-scale bloodshed, but whether it is the ministers under the collapse or the seven of the eight tigers above the collapse, they are all shocked together, and they all bend down and bow their heads, not daring to look directly at the Son of Heaven.

Even Liu Jin, at this time, was bent on his waist, trembling all over, bowing vigorously and apologetically, and said almost pleadingly: "Your Majesty Shengming, the old minister just wants to investigate clearly, and wants to know if this is true or false, ask the Queen Mother, wouldn't you know?"

In fact, Liu Jin looked panicked, but no one noticed that his face under the bent waist was full of sneers, obviously what he did was just a disguise.

The ministers under the collapse, how did they know that Liu Jin was acting in a grand manner, let alone that even the emperor and the queen mother accompanied him to act.

Although Li Dongyang has always been wise to protect himself and has never been strong, but now he sees that the little emperor he has seen since he was a child is so angry, he can't help but worry about the little emperor, and immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, forgive the old minister for being presumptuous, I don't know what is written on the letterhead, can you show the old minister?"

It was only at this time that Empress Dowager Zhang pretended to react, her phoenix eyes were angry, and she scolded Li Dongyang with displeasure: "This is a state secret discovered by Liu Gong, how can you spread it casually, Scholar Li, you have trespassed!"

After finishing speaking, she ignored Li Dongyang, who was ashamed, stretched out her hand, gently stroked Zhengde's back, and comforted: "Your Majesty is angry, you are the Son of Heaven, when something happens, calm down, and show the mourning family, what kind of news did Liu Gong give you!"

Emperor Zhengde was comforted by Empress Dowager Zhang's false comfort, but seemed to really feel a lot better, pouted at Empress Dowager Zhang, and handed the letter to Empress Dowager Zhang's hand.

Empress Dowager Zhang actually didn't know what was written on this letterhead, but she knew that this was Liu Jin's killer weapon against the Qingliu civil officials led by Li Dongyang, so she immediately took the letter and looked at it curiously.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, even the Empress Dowager Zhang is angry and thunderous. It turned out that on this letterhead, nothing else was written, but a letter about the so-called beginning and end of the Battle of Ningxia.

Most of the information is no different from what Yang Yiqing said just now, except for a few key points. And it is a few key points in this, but the calm Empress Dowager Zhang is eager to remove some of the people under the collapse now.

It turned out that in this information, Zilong's identity was emphasized, and Zilong's identity was directly exposed, saying that he was one of the twins born to Emperor Hongzhi and a palace maid named Zheng Jinlian, and the younger brother of Emperor Zhengde.

Since he was a child, because of the persecution of Empress Dowager Zhang, he left the palace and lived in exile. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ningyao, the king of An, learned the secret, so he deliberately walked the rivers and lakes in micro-suits, intending to find the prince of the year.

Almost tossing and turning, Zhu Ningxiao finally discovered this prince a few years ago. Then Zhu Ningxiao taught him martial arts without a trace, and introduced his daughter, Zhu Wanying, to him, in an attempt to tie this prince to his side.

Later, with the mystery of the identity of this prince, he lured the prince to Ningxia, Zhu Ningyao's fief, and then followed Zhu Wan'er's line, placed him in the mansion, and appointed him as the commander of the security department of the Anwang Mansion.

Later, Zhu Ningxiao conspired to rebel in the name of this prince, and privately announced his identity to the generals in the border towns of Ningxia.

has his pretentious posture on weekdays, coupled with the identity of the son of the former emperor, the generals of the border towns of Ningxia, from Jiang Han, the chief military officer of the town guard, to the ordinary general, are all secretly loyal to the prince and Zhu Ningyao.

Later, the imperial court ordered him to exterminate the Fengyue Gang, so he deliberately only said that he wanted to overthrow Liu Jin in the name of the Qing monarch, setting off a rebellion in Ningxia.

In fact, he wanted to lead the Ningxia army, in the name of the son of the former emperor, to invade the city of Beijing, abolish the Zhengde Emperor, replace the civil prince, and then take charge of the government himself.

Later, Liu Jin almost destroyed his plot, but it happened that the prince brought a large number of rebels from the Hetao and went south to help. In the end, the two armies merged into one, Liu Jin disappeared again, and the imperial army had to retreat to the banks of the Yellow River to ensure that the rebels could not cross the river.

If this information is only written here, although it is also slanderous, it will not make Empress Dowager Zhang so angry. After all, when King An was pregnant with the painting of the first emperor and was faintly orphaned by the first emperor, Empress Dowager Zhang had already been guided by Liu Jin, regarded him as a thorn in her eye, and did not want to confine King An in Fengyang City all the time.

However, the person who wrote this information obviously knows a lot about Empress Dowager Zhang, so the real focus of this information is actually in the second half.

In this crucial second half, it is mainly recorded that Yang Yiqing led the imperial army and confronted the Ningxia rebels. On this, Yang Yiqing's delay without fighting, and his private negotiations with the leaders of the Ningxia Righteous Army, were actually not at all what he said was to rebel against the generals of the Righteous Army, waiting for the fighters.

It's that he, Zhang Yong, and even Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and other important ministers in the court behind the scenes, all feel that Zhengde is playful, stubborn, and unworthy of becoming an emperor.

On the contrary, they have all seen Xu Zilong in private, and they all feel that Xu Zilong is more fatherly than Zhengde, and they all feel that Xu Zilong is like the reincarnation of Hongzhi.

It just so happened that King An proposed to replace Emperor Zhengde with Xu Zilong, anyway, the two looked exactly the same, which would not cause any chaos, and it could also make the entire court cheer up and no longer be trapped in the control of the eunuchs.

In order to corroborate these, it was mentioned in the intelligence that Yang Yiqing had been taken into the imperial prison by Liu Jin before, but he came out again for no reason, but it was because Xu Zilong and the beggar gang launched a rescue.

Afterwards, in order to repay Xu Zilong's favor, Yang Yiqing also called him a brother. And Li Dongyang also had a conversation with Xu Zilong in a teahouse in the capital, and the time and place were all on paper.

There are many others, Xu Zilong and the courtiers seem to have met, and they have all received the allegiance of these people. Therefore, the confrontation on the Yellow River was only the last time the two sides negotiated privately about the distribution of rights after replacing Zhengde with Xu Zilong.

At this point, the intelligence came to an abrupt end, but there was no mention of why it evolved into a large-scale battle between the imperial army and the Ningxia rebel army, which eventually led to the current situation.

But only here, everything is enough, the person who wrote this information obviously knows the Empress Dowager Zhang very well.

That's what Empress Dowager Zhang needs, not how this war will start and end.

All she needs is for her position to be consolidated and her family to prosper for a long time, and that's enough.

Otherwise, she would not have planned to dominate the harem at the beginning, and used the trick of changing the tanuki for the prince, and raised Zhengde as her son.

Originally, in this war, her goal was to exterminate King An and the Fengyue Gang, and by the way, she strangled Zilong, so that her position would always be stable, and the events of the year would no longer be mentioned.

Unexpectedly, this information mentioned that the important ministers of the court were already dissatisfied with Zhengde, and even after meeting Xu Zilong, they secretly communicated with King An and Xu Zilong, and conspired to let Xu Zilong replace Zhengde and become the emperor on the grounds that Xu Zilong and Zhengde looked the same.

Don't say whether this is true or not, even if it's just a fiction, Empress Dowager Zhang will have palpitations.

After all, her power is guaranteed, that is, Emperor Zhengde is on the throne, if Xu Zilong is replaced, she feels that Zilong will definitely not let go of herself, let alone her own family.

Although all this is just in this information, it seems to be a deed of chasing the wind and shadows, but the Empress Dowager Zhang has to believe it!

Zhengde's stubbornness is intentionally or unintentionally, she connived at Liu Jin to deliberately cultivate it, and her purpose is the same as Liu Jin's, just to better control Zhengde.

It is also very likely that the important ministers of the DPRK, especially Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and other scholars, are dissatisfied with Zhengde in the six ministries and nine secretaries. After all, compared to the diligent political affairs of Hongzhi, the poor morality is not only based on the Tao.

Now that the intelligence says that Li Dongyang and others intend to replace Zhengde with Zilong, the more Empress Dowager Zhang thinks about it, the more she feels that there is such a possibility, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that if everything comes true, she doesn't need to say that she is prosperous and rich, but she is afraid that she will probably not be able to save her life.

At that moment, she also slapped this letter on the imperial case, and pointed at Li Dongyang, who had walked out of a few cases, and shouted: "Xiya Gong, let me ask you, in February this year, who did you meet at the Ruyi Teahouse on Tongshun Street in Beijing?"

Li Dongyang's heart jumped, and he unconsciously followed Empress Dowager Zhang's words and slowly thought about that day.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had met Zilong in the Ruyi Teahouse, and at his request, on behalf of the Qingliu civil officials, reached a cooperation with King An, and confronted the two sides to enable Yang Yiqing, control the military power, and then overthrow Liu Jin.

But firstly, this is a private conspiracy, and he can't see the sun, and he can't say it in public, and secondly, the person who came here has now been characterized as a rebel, if he, the head of the dynasty, met with a rebel, even if Zilong didn't have such a crime at that time, but Li Dongyang would be extremely passive.
