Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh: comfort the spirit of the ancestors
Zhu Youjian took a deep breath and looked at the majestic palace gate in front of him.
At that time, his emperor brother had no son, and everyone around him seemed to have told him that he would one day enter the palace from this sect and then take charge of the world.
Zhu Youjian always believed that their words were right.
Until the prince is born.
However, Zhu Youjian felt that he was lucky because no matter what, he finally entered through this door.
The current situation has come to an urgent time.
The emperor's life and death are uncertain, and the chances of dying outside are high.
What Zhu Youjian and the scholars were worried about was that the eunuchs took the opportunity to support the immortals and inherit the throne!
Once that time comes, all hope will become a bubble, and then you will fall into despair.
Scholars cannot bear it, and they will still be under the power of the eunuch party for decades to come.
And why is Zhu Youjian the same?
He knew very well that if he had no action, and when the eunuchs of Wei Zhongxian and others supported the prince to immortality, all the major policies would be in the hands of Wei Zhongxian.
He, a wise king in the minds of scholars, will inevitably become a major concern for Wei Zhongxian, and it will be eliminated and then troubled.
The emperor is quite a generous person, so with him here, he may be able to become a vassal king.
But the problem now is that the emperor is gone.
At that time, you can kill yourself by poisoning it, or... if you ask for some evidence of your own, you can kill yourself.
The arrow was on the string and had to be fired.
Zhu Youjian's heart was still trembling. The Ming Gate had already opened for him, but he was still outside the thunder pool and wandered a few steps.
After calming down his chaotic mood, Zhu Youjian immediately said: "Everyone is waiting outside, and the ministers and Mr. Wang in the court will follow the orphan king into the palace."
With so many people outside, it is impossible to let them enter the palace, but there are also many ministers and officials who want to follow the dragon. It is best to let them enter the palace with them.
As for the others, they were waiting outside and wanted to see what Wei Zhongxian in the palace wanted.
As he said that, Zhu Youjian finally took a step forward and crossed the thunder pool.
The other ministers and officials, together with Wang Huan, followed him.
The scholars said afterwards: "Don't panic, just wait here, don't disperse, otherwise... the palace may be unfavorable to His Highness King Xin."
These scholars are obviously very smart people. They are all very calm and do not rush around. Instead, they not only arouse emotions, but also comfort everyone not to be excited.
So the crowds of people stopped outside the Daming Gate.
This holy land of the Forbidden City finally made many people afraid.
As for those ministers and officials, more than a hundred people followed them in.
Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi also followed him in.
Everyone seemed to have no intention of paying attention to them. The Kirin suit that Zhang Jingyi was wearing naturally became a proof of entering the palace. Of course... his clothes were naturally very conspicuous in the capital, but when he arrived in this place, compared with other ministers, he seemed shabby.
At first glance, it is a level of four or five, and it is barely allowed to enter.
What Emperor Tianqi wore today was also an official dress. There was no way, and he was exhausted all the way and had no clothes to change, so he had to borrow the clothes that Zhang Jingyi carried with him.
Back to the Forbidden City, which had been away for a long time, Emperor Apocalypse's face looked very bad.
He originally thought that it was just a group of people making trouble and using his royal brother as a reason.
But when I saw that my emperor brother was the leader, my heart suddenly became cold.
Over the years, Emperor Tianqi has been very good to King Xin. As a half-brother, he far exceeded the treatment he should have.
An ordinary prince would immediately go to the vassal state as soon as he reached adulthood, but because he was afraid that the brother would not get used to the vassal state, Emperor Tianqi suppressed all the memorials of the vassal state, and finally did not issue this order.
But now...
The two followed the people and first went towards the harem.
What came towards me was Zhang Shun.
Zhang Shun was leading a group of eunuchs to stop King Xin Zhu Youjian and said seriously: "Your Highness, King Xin, the concubine has an imperial edict, and it is not convenient to meet at this time. Please ask Your Highness to return to the palace and wait for the summons."
Suddenly, the officials around King Xin Zhu Youjian were upset and said, "Take a look."
"King Xin was raised by Concubine Dong, how could he not see him?"
Zhang Shun, however, had a hunched face and looked like he was determined not to let him go.
All fools know that he is Zhang Jingyi's godson. Now those people outside are shouting and beating and killing his godfather everywhere. Not to mention that there is really any relationship between father and son, or what kind of father is the kindness of son and filial piety.
But at least Zhang Shun knew very well that once King Xin gained power, the first thing he would have to kill was Zhang Jing, a party member in the palace.
King Xin Zhu Youjian looked at him disdainfully and said coldly: "Which concubine is it?"
"The Concubine Xili." Zhang Shun responded.
The relationship between Concubine Xili and Keshi, as well as Wei Zhongxian, is expected to not allow Concubine Xili to be admitted to the palace.
Zhu Youjian said: "The country is in danger now..."
Zhang Shun actually interrupted Zhu Youjian directly and said, "Your Highness... The Concubine said that it is inconvenient to meet at this time. The harem is a forbidden garden. How can ordinary vassal kings go in easily? Could it be...Does King Xin want to be obscene harem?"
All of a sudden, many ministers were blown up and shouted and scolded: "Shameless!"
Zhu Youjian even turned blue, which was a direct insult to his morality.
You know, he is a moral example.
But... Zhang Shun acted very tough and took out a hat from an obscene harem.
Zhu Youjian did not continue to break through, but said coldly: "Okay, then go to Taimiao and summon all officials to meet."
Since there is no way to meet the concubine, the best way is to go to Taimiao. Taimiao is a place to worship ancestors and ancestors. Zhu Youjian is also the bloodline of the late emperors. After going there, he is confident!
As for Wei Zhongxian... He is a eunuch, after all, just a slave. He is in front of his ancestors, let's see if Wei Zhongxian dares to play tricks.
Summoning all officials to meet is a direct showdown.
Zhang Shun had a expressionless face. He really couldn't stop Zhu Youjian from going to the Taimiao.
When Wang Huan heard Zhu Youjian's idea, he immediately nodded and praised Zhu Youjian's reaction.
"No, go to Taimiao."
The Taimiao is on the side of Dong'anmen, not far from here. On the other side, someone invited the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Hanlin from the outside dynasty, or left the palace to invite the ministers of the six ministries.
In fact, Zhu Youjian was already worried at this time, but he forced himself to calm down at this time, thinking about how to deal with the situation when he arrived at Taimiao, and wondered whether Wei Zhongxian would dare to do it in front of the world and himself.
After thinking about it carefully, he calmed down. The people's hearts were in him. Now that he hoped for everyone, Wei Zhongxian had no support from his elder brother, and the attitude of the Beijing camp was unclear. If Wei Zhongxian dared to attack him, all the prefectures in the world would be afraid that they would recruit soldiers to help the king.
There are also vassal kings from all over the world who will never sit idly by. If Wei Zhongxian dares to act strongly, it will be like he dies with him.
Wei Zhongxian was just a tool in his royal brother's hand and had no appeal at all. Wei Zhongxian's disciples were even more unlikely to follow Wei Zhongxian to the end.
When people talk about Wei Zhongxian, they call him Nine Thousand Years. In fact... These Nine Thousand Years were given by Emperor Tianqi. If Emperor Tianqi is there, he can perform the emperor's will. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Nine Thousand Years.
But now that Emperor Aoki is not here, a royal slave like this is nothing.
King Xin Zhu Youjian knew this very deeply.
Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi were mixed in the crowd. No one paid too much attention to these two low-level officials, let alone... even if they pay attention, I would never think of their identities.
Emperor Tianqi pulled Zhang Jingyi and whispered: "Zhu Youjian bet on Wei's partner, dare not act rashly. What do you think of Wei's partner?"
Zhang Jing said without thinking: "He is not loyal to his ministers, so he will definitely not dare to act rashly. He still wants to protect himself. And even if he orders, who dares to take action on the crime of murdering the prince?"
Emperor Tianqi nodded and then said, "You remember, the harem changes, go to Taimiao first."
Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, why did the palace change?"
Emperor Tianqi said seriously: "It's not a bad thing to have more skills to keep you alone, but you don't have to suppress your skills. How confident are they?"
Zhang Jing sighed, "This is hard to explain, but... now we are comparing who is more courageous and who is more courageous."
Emperor Tianqi sighed again and said, "My brother is very gentle on weekdays, but he is like this today."
As he said, he looked depressed.
Wait until the group arrived at Taimiao.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian had arrived with a large number of eunuchs and commanders of the Jinyiwei.
The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Ministers of various ministries also arrived here one after another.
Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi were silently hiding in a corner where no one paid attention to it.
Wei Zhongxian's face turned pale and said, "Are you not afraid of death when you are so rebellious?"
In fact, at this time, King Xin Zhu Youjian did not come here, but first entered the Xian Temple in Taimiao and worshipped the ancestors.
Outside this hall, the crowd of people kept silent.
Only Wang Huan stood up and said with a smile: "The country has no lord. In order to avoid the power being left behind by the eunuch, His Highness, the king, was the country and the country, and then he entered the palace. Why did Eunuch Wei become furious?"
Wei Zhongxian didn't even look at Wang Huan. This time, King Xin really caught him off guard.
He scanned his ministers.
At this time... he was also a little confused about everyone's attitude. Many of these ministers were his followers, including Huang Liji and Minister of War Cui Chengxiu.
But although other people have shown goodwill to him on weekdays, they are not confidants after all.
