At this time, in the Nangong, the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen was lying on the couch, his whole body was dazed and living a life of drunkenness and dreams.

In the historical books handed down from the Ming Dynasty, in order to criticize Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu for being "brutally and unkind", he usurped the throne and treated the emperor's elder brother harshly, emphasizing the legitimacy of Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen's regaining the throne.

The period of his life in the Nangong was described as various abuses, hunger and cold, and even needed Queen Qian to be a female red girl to sell embroidery to maintain basic living conditions.

In fact, after thinking rationally, I realized that this statement was untenable. Nangong was imprisoned for seven years and gave birth to six children. In addition, Concubine De Wei, Concubine Chen Wan, Concubine An Yang, Concubine Hui Wang, etc., all of which were served, at least a dozen or twenty people.

Moreover, during his imprisonment in Nangong, Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen was still leisurely and gave birth to a daughter from a palace maid who was more than ten years older than him, and was later named Wei Concubine Fan. Unless the red embroidery speed of Queen Qian's daughter can reach the level of a weaving machine in later generations, it is impossible to raise a large family.

The tragic fate of Queen Qian is a fact, but the crime is not that Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu imprisoned his brother, but more because Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen himself did not have the responsibility of being a king and husband!

Ruan Lang entered Nangong through the small door with the lunch box. He happened to meet Queen Qian who was coming towards him. He hurriedly asked for peace and bowed.

Empress Qian was originally in Zhuqizhen's north hunting, and she cried all day long, which caused her vision to be seriously damaged. Now even if the Supreme Emperor returns from the north of the Mo, the two brothers and the two emperors fight each other, they still have not escaped the threat of death.

The old and weak Queen Qian couldn't talk too much to Zhu Qizhen. The only thing she could do was to ask Gods and Buddhas in various ways, and pray to the gods of heaven to protect her husband from crises.

As a result, after kneeling down and crying for a long time, Queen Qian was completely blind in one eye and lame with one leg. If it weren't for the phoenix robe on her body showing her identity, someone might not have realized that this was the Supreme Queen of the Ming Dynasty, and she was not as good as an ordinary palace maid.

"Mrs. Ruan needs a lot of courtesy, thank you for your hard work during this period."

Queen Qian squeezed a smile on her face. She had a virtuous and kind personality and had always been gentle to the subordinates in the palace, let alone Ruan Lang, who was still loyal to serving him when he was in a downturn.

"This is my duty, Queen Mother."

Queen Qian smiled and didn't continue to say more about etiquette. Her eyes moved to the things Ruan Lang was holding, and she could vaguely recognize that this was a lunch box.

"The emperor was hungover last night. Eunuch Ruan was waiting for a meeting and I hope to persuade him to be a little cautious. Drinking like this will hurt your body."

Now Zhu Qizhen has almost nothing to say to Queen Qian. After all, his depression is about the struggle for imperial power. A woman said that it would only cause trouble. In comparison, Ruan Lang, who always conveys information from outside the palace, has more common language.

"Yes, I will remind the emperor to pay attention to his health."

"Eunuch Ruan, go in."

Queen Qian felt Ruan Lang's tone, and was more anxious than before, so she turned to her side and signaled that he could pay homage to the emperor first.

"Then I will go in first."

Ruan Lang bowed his hand again, then quickly walked into the Nangong Hall and saw Zhu Qizhen lying on the couch.

Ruan Lang can see from this surname that he was not a native of the Ming Dynasty, but a Ming Chengzu Zhu Di attacked Annan when the young children brought back were castrated and became eunuchs in the palace.

As an old eunuch in the palace, Ruan Lang was really sad when he watched Zhu Qizhen grow up. The Emperor of Ming, who was once full of youthful vitality and ambition, became his decadent and listless appearance now.

However, there was no time to sigh today. Ruan Lang leaned over and came to Zhu Qizhen and whispered to him: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Zhu Qizhen, who had an empty eyes, heard Ruan Lang saying that there was something important to report, and a mocking smile appeared on his face and replied: "In this situation, what else can I deal with? Could it be that the Hou Shi Heng of Wuqing changed his mind and was willing to abandon the darkness and support the left and right ascend to the great treasure again?"

The reason why Zhu Qizhen became so decadent and depressed was that he went to win over Wu Qing Hou Shiheng in half a year. The other party kept covering up and not willing to give a clear answer. He neither chose loyalty nor refused decisively, which kept him in an anxious state of expectation and disappointment.

But the incident that really defeated Zhu Qizhen's psychological defense was his mother, Empress Dowager Sun, who showed the emotion of helping his son restore his son. He no longer had the firmness he had before, as if he had accepted his fate.

Zhu Qizhen's original plan was to rely on the Shenji Camp controlled by his direct line, Liu Pu, the Nanzheng Army commanded by the Bo Jingyuan Wang Ji, the right governor Zhang Fu, and the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp controlled by Yin Guo Jing, the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of King Zhu Qiyu, he launched a coup directly. Then Empress Dowager Sun issued an imperial decree to abolish the opponent's emperor's title and regained the position of Supreme Nine Five.

I believe that in just one year after King Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, he would not be able to cultivate a solid foundation and confidant. This kind of internal royal power replacement will not cause much trouble in the court. Soon the entire Ming Dynasty will return to its original state and will remain the orthodox dynasty.

As a result, without the approval of Empress Dowager Sun, the Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen not only lost the rationality of the legal system, but also lacked the prestige that would make people sacrifice their lives to restore the throne. No matter how nice it sounds to say "Bei Shou", the history of being a prisoner cannot be erased in everyone's hearts. The loss of his troops and humiliation of the country greatly hit his former emperor majesty.

"Your Majesty, this matter is related to Jingyuan Bo."

"What's wrong with him Wang Ji?"

As soon as he heard the words Jingyuan Bo, the eyes of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen instantly became much clearer.

You should know that in addition to the competition between the Beijing camp forces, his greatest reliance comes from the Southern Expedition Army commanded by Wang Ji, the boss of Jingyuan. Anyone can have any accidents in any matter, but Wang Ji cannot!

"There is a eunuch on duty next to His Majesty who is the adopted son of a slave. He heard that Jingyuan Bo might lead the Southern Expedition Army to conquer Luchuan again."

Ruan Lang said this with a embarrassed look on his face. He knew how big a blow this news would be for Zhu Qizhen, who was depressed. But the problem is that if we don’t say it now, it would be too late when the Southern Expedition Army really left Beijing.

What?

As Ruan Lang expected, Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth wide after hearing the news, and his face was filled with incredible affection.

He could say that his kindness to Wang Ji was as heavy as a mountain, and he broke the method of not being granted titles to his ancestors by the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. He forced himself to find loopholes to be in charge of military affairs with civil officials, allowing Wang Ji to set a precedent for the Ming Dynasty to be named Jingyuan Bo.

This kind of kindness is unparalleled in the world. Wang Ji, the Bo of Jingyuan, left Beijing during the critical period of the two emperors' struggle, and there is no doubt that it was another betrayal!

The degree of betrayal is even greater than the Sanyuan and the Chen Chen Chen he was appointed!

Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, couldn't understand why he was so grateful to his subordinates, but they chose to betray the Lord and seek honor. What was the mistake?

"What conditions did King Hui promised Wang Ji? How could he choose to leave Beijing at such a moment? Where did the Ming Dynasty treasury come from to support the conquest of Luchuan?"

Zhu Qizhen asked several key questions in succession to Ruan Lang. With his emperor favor to Wang Ji, even if King Zhu Qiyu wants to bribe the other party, the price offered will definitely become a sky-high price.

The highest bargaining chip he could think of at present was nothing more than promoting the title of King Ji, the Prince of Jingyuan, to Duke of Jingguo. But even so, it still felt a little bit bad to tell Wang Ji. It is impossible to set a precedent for being a king, right?

If King Hui could be the king of Wang Ji, then what price would he have to give to win over other ministers in the court? The court's official title system would fall into chaos. Unless this period of cholera exceeds the rules, Zhu Qiyu would definitely not be so ridiculous unless it was the end of the dynasty.

Also, the previous battles at Luchuan were all fought under Zhu Qizhen's toughness. No one knew better than him how much rice, grain and silver would be spent. The entire Ming Dynasty treasury was consumed, which triggered frequent rebellions and rebellions in various places.

It can even be said that if it hadn't been used to put too many resources on the Nanzhenglu River, a different situation might have occurred when he personally conquered Mongolia.

Now that the northern Tartars are becoming stronger and stronger, they are taking risks to start the war in the southwest. Does King Hui want to be the king of the devastated country?

After thinking about it, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen always felt that logic was not reasonable, but Ruan Lang was an old man who had served him in the palace for decades. In addition, he was destined to have no great ambitions and attempts, so he would never let him go without a loss.

Faced with Zhu Qizhen's questioning, Ruan Lang could only shake his head blankly and said, "The emperor forgives the crime. Your Majesty just mentioned it when discussing affairs with the Grand Situ. I really don't know the reason."

"But what is certain is that the Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji's conquest of Luchuan has been put on the agenda, it depends on when the world will be announced and the army will be led to the war."

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen, who was already emotional, collapsed on the couch again like a deflated ball.

The mother's hesitation, the wait for the price of Shi Heng, the wait for the price, and the alienation of the Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji. The sense of crisis that was once surrounded by Tumu Fort once again swept across the body of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, and he didn't know how to break the situation.

It is impossible to complete the coup and restore the reign with a eunuch in charge of the seal, right?

"The Emperor...the Emperor?"

Looking at Zhu Qiyu's eyes with dull eyes, Ruan Lang quickly shouted in panic. If the Supreme Emperor had something wrong with him, he, a eunuch, would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Listening to Ruan Lang's urgent shout, Zhu Qizhen recovered. At this moment, he suddenly stood up from the couch, changing his previous depression and depression. His eyes were filled with a sense of determination and determination: "No, if this continues, my confidant forces will be disintegrated bit by bit by bit by bit. We must take action as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Zhu Qizhen looked around in the Nangong, and his eyes finally fell on a golden knife in the knife holder.

Without any hesitation, Zhu Qizhen walked over and picked up the golden sword, turned around and said to Ruan Lang, "This golden sword is my royal property. You can take it out and hand it over to Shi Heng, the Hou of Wuqing. Just say that if the restoration is completed and the position of Dabao is completed, he will be ranked as Duke of the Ming Dynasty and be named Duke of Zhong!"

At this point, what Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, could do, just like his younger brother Zhu Qiyu, and it was nothing more than to see who offered a higher price.

In just one year, Shi Heng was promoted from a criminal in prison to a first-rank governor of the Five Army Governor's Office, and then was granted the title of Wu Qing Bo and then promoted to Wu Qing Hou.

Now even the position of Duke of the Kingdom has been taken out. If it can be realized, the speed of promotion in the officialdom will be unparalleled, and in a sense it has also created a period of history of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?"

Ruan Lang took the imperial golden sword from Zhu Qizhen with a trembling trembling. He understood that no matter what he thought, the current emperor could not find an excuse to attack his emperor brother.

But once it is taken into action, there is no way back, and the two emperors will die!

"Do you want me to be imprisoned in this cage for the rest of your life?"

Zhu Qizhen's face was covered in ferociousness at this moment, trapped in the Nangong, and how different was it from the time when Beishou was in the Ola camp. It was nothing more than another type of prisoner under the ranks.

Seeing the Supreme Emperor's appearance, Ruan Lang's heart was filled with horror. His decades of living in the palace told him that Zhu Qizhen did not resist any longer, and he might not even have the opportunity to lose his life.

The emperor is more kind and can still live a life in this Nangong. If the emperor wants to avoid future troubles, it may be the countdown to the life of the Supreme Emperor after the Prince of Jingyuan left the capital!

Ruan Lang is a nostalgic person and also a loyal eunuch. After realizing all this, he gritted his teeth and nodded heavily to Zhu Qizhen: "Even if I sacrifice my life, I will definitely complete the entrustedness of the emperor and handed the golden sword to Wu Qinghou!"

Looking at Ruan Lang with a determined look in front of him, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen sighed in his heart. The court officials who had once had high expectations chose to betray them one after another. On the contrary, a group of eunuchs who were scolded and despised by the world held on to the end.

It used to be Wang Zhen, but now it is Ruan Lang.

But now is not the time to sigh. The sway of Wuqing Hou Shiheng made Zhu Qizhen understand that the other party was not a reliable person and could not place his hopes entirely on him. If he wanted to complete the coup, he had to rely on his confidant.

"Ruan Lang, after handing the golden sword to Shi Heng, you can visit Dingyuan Hou Liupu and the right governor Zhang Fu to prepare for the time being to rebellion."

"In addition, I will ask the queen to ask for the queen again. No matter what the situation outside the palace is, we must ensure that the Forbidden City is under our control. If necessary, we should take action first!"

The Ming Dynasty Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen's first move was not to start a coup, but to kill Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu in advance.

The biggest difference between the two emperors competing with powerful ministers to seize the throne is that no matter who becomes the ultimate winner, all civil and military officials in the court can basically accept it. After all, no one is willing to be loyal to a dead person.

Things like fame and shame have long been abandoned by Zhu Qizhen in Mobei. They can do things like knocking on the door and shouting, but what is it? His sense of guilt in family affection and morality is much lower than that of Zhu Qiyu.
