Chapter 489: The new king ascends the throne

Zhu Youjian couldn't figure it out.

Why has Zhang Jingyi stopped replying to him recently?

He tried hard to recall the last letter, and there was indeed no annoying content.

Then he sighed and said, "Maybe he's just very busy. After all, he is not like the Lone King. The Lone King is an idle Yun Yehe, a relative of the Free Clan. He is the right-hand man of the Emperor's brother, so he is a daily life."

Even though I explained this, I still felt empty in my heart.

Especially after losing Princess Zhou, Zhu Youjian seemed to have no spiritual support in his heart.

At this time, he regarded Zhang Jingyi as his spiritual pillar.

…………

The vast cavalry team had already arrived at Shanhaiguan and walked rapidly along the way. Although it was a waste of people and horses, Emperor Tianqi was like an arrow, and he was traveling day and night.

Fortunately, these students have long been used to it.

Sometimes Emperor Apocalypse admires these people.

It’s okay to use firearms and have strong firepower, but the most important thing is that these people have such strong endurance.

If it were any military horse, I would probably not be able to withstand this kind of physical exhaustion.

The new general of Shanhaiguan was transferred from the Dusi of Jiangxi, and was originally the commander-in-chief of the Dusi. However, Emperor Tianqi no longer trusted Liao generals, so he transferred people from the mainland.

This man's surname is Huang and his name is Huang Yong. When he heard a military horse appeared outside, he was shocked when he inquired.

You should know that at this time, Shanhaiguan also wore a mourning hat and was covered in plain clothes. This was... during the national mourning period.

At this moment... the real person got up from the coffin. How could he not be afraid?

At first, Huang Yong made people close to the door.

But it turns out that the people who came out of Shanhaiguan were all gray coats and the same weapon style.

At this time, he became embarrassed.

If the emperor is truly resurrected and brings troops to him, and he stubbornly refuses to turn on and off, that is a deceiving the emperor.

But if the door is opened and closed, if there is a fraud, it is a dereliction of duty.

So he thought of a good idea, and asked someone to carry himself down the city tower with a vine basket.

Then go to see you first.

I was thinking that if it was indeed Emperor Tianqi's men, I would immediately send a signal to the city.

And if there is an ambush, you can only be considered unlucky.

Huang Yong left Shanhaiguan and was immediately led to a dense horse team.

These people were all covered in dust and were stained with frost. Almost everyone wore gray coats. There was no way. The clothes were dressed very warmly in this place in Liaodong, even in the capital. Although the clothes looked simple and unpretentious, everyone was wrapped around from the emperor to the students.

Huang Yong couldn't tell the difference between these people and felt that they were all similar.

But at this time, Emperor Tianqi immediately said, "Huang Qing, did you see me in the fourth year of Tianqi?"

Huang Yong was startled and quickly looked at the source of the sound and saw a young man wearing the same clothes as others. His face was covered with frost and his skin was a little cracked, but there was an indescribable nobility between his eyebrows and eyes.

After Huang Yong carefully identified it, he fell to the ground and cried in grief, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is still alive... Me... Me..."

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but say, "Why, do you think I've passed away?"

"Half a month ago, there was news reported to Guanzhong. Seven or eight days ago, His Majesty's coffin passed by Shanhaiguan. I couldn't believe it, but I had to believe it." Huang Yong knelt on the ground and couldn't get up. He was still wearing ridiculous plain clothes. He continued: "After the news came out, the whole world was mourning, and everyone was mourning. I didn't expect it..."

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help laughing at this time and said, "The world is so sad, everyone is mourning. This is a fool. I am still a human being, and I haven't become a ghost. How could I believe such words! I'm afraid that many people will smile happily, and I just wish I could roar and beat drums to celebrate with the whole world. What kind of reputation is, I don't know?"

It was not surprising that this was said from the mouth of Emperor Apocalypse.

Huang Yong was shocked and tried his best to defend something, but found that if he defended, it seemed to go against the emperor's will. He smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, why did you say this? All the people in the world... Alas..."

Emperor Tianqi said: "When I sighed when I see you, I seem to know something?"

Huang Yong hurriedly said, "I... don't know..."

"Zhang Qing." Emperor Tianqi said coldly.

Zhang Jingyi said aside: "I am here."

"Come on, tell him what's wrong with those who deceive the king and the emperor now."

"This..." Zhang Jingyi did not expect that Emperor Tianqi had already promoted the assault on the Liao generals as his great achievements.

Zhang Jingyi said, "It was just that more than 360 families were confiscated and more than 4,790 people were executed. This was a blessing for His Majesty to be magnanimous. Although he was to destroy the three clans, the vast majority of women and children finally spared the death penalty and just sent them to the death."

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Yong's face changed suddenly.

More than 360 companies, what does this mean?

Doesn’t this mean… Liaodong… was taken down in one fell swoop?

Although Huang Yong was not a general of Liao, he was in Shanhaiguan, but he dealt with these arrogant soldiers every day, so he naturally knew the energy of these people.

So he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I... I have something to report."

"You said it." Emperor Tianqi said lightly: "If you have something to say!"

Huang Yong said: "After the news of Your Majesty's death came out, many people in Shanhaiguan celebrated each other, and I also heard some rumors that it was on the other side of the capital... Some people seemed to be eager to know the news of Your Majesty's death. Therefore, they repeatedly urged to send Your Majesty's coffin to the capital quickly..."

Emperor Apocalypse frowned and said, "That's all?"

Obviously, just this little information is of little use to Emperor Apocalypse.

Huang Yong said: "After hearing these things, my heart is burning. Those who are ministers do not know what loyalty and filial piety are. Your Majesty trusts them so much, but they are so ill-behaved. I also heard that... the capital city is going to prepare for the new king to ascend the throne."

Emperor Tianqi laughed and said, "Oh? Who is going to be the emperor this time?"

Huang Yong looked up and then looked at Emperor Tianqi deeply: "Your Highness Changsheng."

When he heard that it was his son, Emperor Tianqi's expression calmed down a little, and then he said, "If I 'dead' and the new king ascends the throne, it is understandable, and there seems to be nothing wrong."

Huang Yong said: "The problem lies in the fact that there is controversy in the court. Some people think that the news about Your Majesty should be determined first before ascending the throne! Some people are impatient and report that the country cannot be without a king for a day. There is a tension between them."

"What after that?"

"From then on, I will ask the Queen Mother...No, I will ask the Queen Mother..."

"How did the queen say it?"

"The Empress said that the country cannot be without a king for a day."

Emperor Apocalypse immediately understood, and he nodded immediately.

"In addition..." Huang Yong glanced at Emperor Tianqi deeply, and then said, "Mrs. Fengsheng has also moved out of the palace."

As soon as this said, Emperor Tianqi realized a trace of unusualness: "Is that right?"

The Madam Fengsheng was the wet nurse of Emperor Tianqi, Keshi, who was almost half of the master of the harem. This is of course because Emperor Tianqi respected her and therefore obeyed her many things.

In the eyes of others, this Madam Fengsheng is not a good person, but in the eyes of Emperor Apocalypse, the meaning is extraordinary.

Furthermore, the wife of Fengsheng was Wei Zhongxian's wife.

In other words, driving away the Madam Fengsheng is equivalent to driving away Wei Zhongxian's biggest backer.

But... why did Wei Zhongxian not move?

The word "changing the palace" certainly has a high-sounding reason, but behind the movement of the palace, it actually involves some unknown arrangements and struggles.

Emperor Aoki also understood the powerful relationship.

So Emperor Aoki said, "Is no one objecting?"

"Cheng Chengxiu Ren, the Minister of War, submitted a complaint against him, believing that His Majesty had just passed away, he ordered the Madam Fengsheng to move the palace, which was inappropriate."

Emperor Tianqi nodded, Cui Chengxiu was Wei Zhongxian's confidant, which was obviously Wei Zhongxian's operation.

However... Emperor Tianqi became strange and couldn't help but say, "Is there no one in the cabinet against it? Where is the Minister of Personnel?"

Huang Yong said truthfully: "I haven't heard of this..."

Emperor Apocalypse immediately understood something.

I am afraid that there will be divisions within the eunuch party. In addition to some devoted eunuch party, it is obvious that those who once started their business by cooperating with Wei Zhongxian, such as several bachelors in the cabinet, including the Minister of Personnel, do not seem to have strong support for Wei Zhongxian.

Actually, this is understandable.

Cui Chengxiu is a best friend, while others have to worry about the influence of the court.

In addition, the death of the emperor and the transformation of the palace by the Holy Madam was a foregone conclusion. Even if it does not move now, it will still be moved sooner or later. Otherwise, the wet nurse of a former emperor is still in the palace. What's going on?

Zhang Jingyi, who was beside him, couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, this person's wrist is very clever."

He said the awesomeness of this matter.

Emperor Aoki nodded.

Obviously, Emperor Aoki also agreed.

This is called hitting a snake and hitting a seven-inch.

On the one hand, Wei Zhongxian started his business with Keshi, and Keshi is his greatest reliance.

But on the other hand, as a wet nurse, Keshi is actually unreasonable in the palace.

This itself was a decision that violated the royal system. It was only because Emperor Tianqi insisted on leaving people in the palace to support him, so everyone pinched their noses and accepted it.

It is precisely because it is unreasonable that it suddenly occurs at this time.

And at this time... if Wei Zhongxian gave in, then in the eyes of many people in the world, this is obviously the Nine Thousand Years old, so will it be a situation where everyone pushes it?

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian must of course protect it.

If you can protect it, an extremely unfavorable situation will appear again.

Because this matter itself is inauthentic, except for a hard-core confidant like Cui Chengxiu, anyone with a little brain is actually embarrassed to support Keshi to continue staying in the palace.
