Chapter 177 The Righteous Yang Lian
When Emperor Taichang passed away, Li Xuanshi cried and she was filled with rain. She cried while cursing: "You short-lived ghost, it would be great if you had named me a queen a few days earlier. Now, I'm still a selective servant!"
Since the death of Emperor Wanli, Li Xuanshi, as Zhu Changluo's most beloved woman, was naturally invited to live in the Ganqing Palace. The prince Zhu Youxiao, the daughter of Li Xuanshi, was also the prince Le'an, who was left behind by King Xin and his two loyal servants Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen, who were still in the Chenghua Palace.
Zhu Changluo favored Li Xuanshi, just like Wanli favored Concubine Zheng. Wanli at least helped Concubine Zheng to win the identity of the queen, but Zhu Changluo, a short-lived ghost, agreed, and before he could do it, he died.
But it was a bit horrifying to be conferred, so when Zhu Changluo's oral orders were passed to the cabinet, the cabinet only agreed to Zhu Changluo's appointment of Li Xuanshi as the imperial concubine.
You should know that it was not easy to be a queen in the Ming Dynasty. First of all, the queen of the Ming Dynasty must come from a good daughter from ordinary people. This was learned from the lessons of the rule of the relatives of the previous dynasties; secondly, the queen is not necessarily the most beautiful, but must undergo strict inspections. An old palace maid is responsible for the inspection. She has no physical problems, no flaws or odor on her body, delicate and shiny skin, and no scars. Therefore, the queen is not necessarily the most beautiful, but she is definitely the most perfect.
In fact, many top beauties have various flaws, not necessarily the most perfect, and the most perfect one is not necessarily the most beautiful. Even if Li Xuanshi meets all the conditions, the Chinese officials in the court cannot agree to her as the queen. Therefore, it is almost impossible for Li Xuanshi to become the queen, but Fang Congzhe has already let go of the matter of appointing her as a concubine.
However, Zhu Changluo's kicking legs made even the imperial concubine disappear. She died in the palace until she was old and could only be a candidate.
"Eunuch Wei, Yongwazi, you two have many ways to help Lao Shen think of a solution, otherwise they will come in, Lao Shen should be as long as they agree to be the imperial concubine!" Li Xuanshi walked to Jiuqiansui and Zhang Yong and begged.
Eunuch Wei and Keshi were about to take a step to go to the warm room to accompany the little carpenter, but Zhang Yong stopped them: "Don't go to the warm room, come with me to accompany the emperor of the Great Travel!"
After saying that, Zhang Yong bowed to Li Xuanshi: "Empress Li, you should also go to the hall to accompany Emperor Daxing. After all, you are the raising master of the prince designated by Emperor Daxing. If you take the prince to accompany Emperor Daxing, it is up to us. If you hide in the warm cabinet, then we will be in the wrong place in front of the foreign ministers!"
"I just want them to fulfill the oral orders of the late emperor and confer my concubine as a concubine. What's wrong with this? I don't want to see them!" Li Xuanshi was still so stupid.
"Empress, you are right to listen to me!" Zhang Yong said firmly. To be honest, Zhang Yong knew very well that even if Li Xuanshi listened to him, he might not be able to succeed, and he himself might not be able to defeat the Donglin Party this time. However, after this time, he will score even higher in the mind of Tianqi in the future.
As expected by Zhang Yong, Li Xuanshi still didn't listen to him, but took Tianqi to his warm-up hall.
The first person to receive the news of Emperor Taichang's death was the chief assistant Fang Congzhe, but the old guy had to consider not only the problem of the black hat, but his own brain. The one who demanded Emperor Taichang's life was the immortal medicine presented to Emperor Taichang, and this Li Kezhuo was recommended by Fang Congzhe.
In order to completely overturn his responsibilities, Fang Congzhe hid in the cabinet and secretly wrote an imperial edict to reward Li Kezhuo in the name of Taichang. This means that it was the elixir that the emperor himself wanted to take, so everything had nothing to do with him.
But this old man forgot a very important thing. He did not take the opportunity to advance to the Qing Palace to control the little carpenter. Originally, he could take this opportunity to control the situation so that the Donglin Party could prevent the Donglin Party from controlling the little carpenter. If he could control the little carpenter, even if he did not have his fake imperial edict, the situation was in his hands. What if he wanted to say was not his final say? This old man was smart and confused for a lifetime and missed the opportunity to suppress the Donglin Party, and the Donglin Party would not be able to give him a chance to turn things around.
Fang Congzhe's actions were one step late. Han Yu, Liu Yiyin, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other Donglin Party members arrived. Wang An in the palace was also bought by the Donglin Party. At this time, the Donglin Party had completely controlled the situation.
The little carpenter was hidden in the warm cabinet of the Ganqing Palace by Li Xuanshi. This incident was later said by the Donglin Party that she wanted to be Wu Zetian. But how could Li Xuanshi and Wu Zetian compare? She just wanted the civil servants to agree to Emperor Taichang's oral orders and named her the imperial concubine by her death. Otherwise, she would be a humble elected servant until her death.
When Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou arrived at the entrance of the Ganqing Palace, all the ministers of the cabinet arrived.
"Huh? Why are you all outside? Why don't you go in?" Yang Lian looked at Fang Congzhe, Han Dong, Liu Yiyin and others standing at the door and not daring to go in. He asked strangely.
Zhou Jiamo said: "During the Yang Shi, His Highness the Crown Prince will not let us in."
"The Ganqing door is locked, we can't get in even if we want to." Liu Yiying said.
"Fart!" Yang Lian's eyes were red and he shouted angrily, "How could the Prince's Highness not let us in? It must be the fox Concubine Li Kang, who used the name of the prince to stop us!"
Zuo Guangdou raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go and go to the Ganqing Palace to take His Royal Highness to the Eastern Palace!"
Wang An, who had already acted as an insider of the Donglin Party, opened the Ganqing door and walked out: "Everyone, let our family go in and invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out!"
Wang An turned around and walked into the Ganqing Palace, but saw that Zhang Yong was the only one kneeling in front of the coffin of the Emperor Daxing. Li Xuanshi and the little carpenter were not seen.
"Yongwazi, why are you the only one? Where is the crown prince?" Wang An asked.
Zhang Yong stood up and blocked Wang An's way: "Eunuch Wang, I have followed the will of the late emperor to protect him here! Before Emperor Daxing passed away, he issued a will to be taken care of by Empress Li until he became an adult. Eunuch Wang, you have heard the oral order of Emperor Daxing? The late emperor has treated you as much as a mountain, but now you are helping outsiders to shoot His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Bold!" Wang An yelled in anger, "You are just a small eunuch who dares to point fingers at our family! You are still our family who will take you into the palace to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you dare to repay your kindness with grudges!"
Zhang Yong did not give in at all: "Eunuch Wang, you are as kind as a mountain to me, so I will naturally remember it in my heart. But you should not collude with foreign ministers to enter the palace to rob His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! We, who are the emperor, only act on the orders of the emperor! If the principle of being eunuchs is violated, then wouldn't Your Majesty raise us in vain? Are you not afraid that the Emperor Daxing will watch in the spirit of heaven?"
Wang An was speechless when he was refuted. Although he was still the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, he could not order the eunuch to force Zhang Yong to open. After all, everything Zhang Yong said was reasonable, and the coffin of Emperor Daxing was here. People at that time believed in the gods, and he dared not in front of Emperor Daxing's coffin.
However, the group of Donglin Party outside were not so polite. Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou rushed in with a group of people.
"Eunuch Wang, what's going on?" Yang Lian asked.
Wang An said helplessly: "This young master said that he had followed the will of the late emperor to protect him, so it was not easy for our family to break in front of the late emperor."
"During the Yang Affairs Office, the coffin of the late emperor is here. Please do not make loud noises, so as not to disturb the late emperor's spirit in heaven!" Zhang Yongdangren's group stopped Yang Lian and the others, after all, he was right.
"Get out! Little castration dog!" Yang Lian slapped in the face.
