The new emperor of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, and various countries sent envoys to express their condolences to Emperor Xuande.
In the golden palace, a woman hugged the nine-year-old emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, those who support your Majesty on the throne today are your loyal ministers."
She is only about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face and beautiful face. However, her face lacks the innocence that a girl should have. Instead, she has a temperament that has been through vicissitudes of life and has seen through the world. It is not in line with her handsome face and fair and tender skin.
match.
She is Jia Yuanchun, the concubine of the nine-year-old emperor Zhu Qizhen, and the emperor is the nine-year-old boy in her arms.
"The Empress Dowager will help me identify the loyal and the traitorous." Zhu Qizhen said innocently, raising his head.
He really liked this concubine very much, because she was as gentle as water, considerate, and very caring about his temper. In fact, it was no wonder, what little boy wouldn't want to have a sister like this? After all, the royal emperor was also a human being.
Jia Yuanchun stroked his forehead and smiled affectionately: "Although your Majesty is young, he is still a noble man. How can he be manipulated by others? The emperor has the Constitution in his mouth, and he will govern the country when he is born. Your Majesty is so beautiful.
He is the emperor, so there is no need for others to listen to politics behind the curtain."
Zhu Qizhen was filled with pride. He puffed out his chest and said, "Of course."
Then he collapsed again and said helplessly: "Although I am the emperor, filial piety comes first, and I have to listen to the words of the Empress Dowager."
The two of them were talking on the dragon couch, when suddenly there was a noise outside, "We are the emperor's close ministers, why can't we meet the emperor in person?"
"Your Majesty has ordered that because he misses the late emperor and becomes depressed and ill, he will not see anyone!"
"Bold, do you know who is standing there? This is Zen Master Daoyan, the national master!"
The guard on guard shook his head like a rattle, "No, it's up to your Majesty to decide."
Dao Yan stretched out his hand, stopped his men, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I would like to see you, Yao Guangxiao."
"Your Majesty, I would like to see you, Yao Guangxiao!"
Yuanchun held Zhu Qizhen in his arms. Zhu Qizhen was so confused that he didn't even notice and didn't hear the sound outside.
A group of eunuchs came from a distance. The leader was a boy with white hair and red lips. He said with a smile: "Master Yao, what are you trying to do? Force you into the palace?"
His voice is very feminine, which makes people feel like hearing one stone rubbing against another, making them feel uncomfortable. Especially when he is smiling, it is even more unbearable.
Behind Yao Guangxiao, Liu Mian, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, said sternly: "Hua Quan, if you want to narrow the emperor to order the princes, you have to look at how much you weigh. Do you have the right to speak in front of the imperial master?"
"My old slave speaks softly, but I have received great kindness from the Ming Dynasty royal family, and I often want to repay him with death. If someone wants to bully the weak and disturb the emperor, I will fight him to the death even if I risk my life."
Behind him, the eunuch Wang Zhen smiled pitifully and looked at Dao Yan and the Jinyi guards behind him. As long as he waved his hand, an unknown number of guards and fans would come out from every corner of the palace.
After all the glory of Jinyiwei these years, it’s time for the East-West Factory, right?
The Jin Yiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers and have always been the sharp sword in Dao Yan's hands. The intelligence agency he and Zhu Di established together merged with the imperial Jin Yiwei that already existed in the imperial court. In cooperation with the East and West Factory, it once became a nightmare for all corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Mian was furious. He took a step forward and was about to draw his sword, but Dao Yan stretched out his hand to stop him. Drawing a sword in front of the palace is an act of seeking death. The current emperor is no longer the former emperor, and the Jin Yiwei must change his style, otherwise
It's easy for people to grab your pigtails.
"National Preceptor!" Liu Mian looked at Dao Yan in confusion, not knowing why he suddenly gave up. Liu Mian was not loyal to Dao Yan, but simply because he had already formed a team and must ensure that Dao Yan could win.
Otherwise you will die.
From his point of view, this is a life-and-death struggle. If he doesn't win over the emperor, he will probably be liquidated soon.
Dao Yan glanced at Hua Quan and smiled: "Very good, you are very good."
He waved his hand and led the royal guards out of the palace.
Jia Yuanchun, who was sitting on the dragon bed, just let go of the emperor. She had been shaking all over for a long time, but she calmed down. When she lowered her head, she saw that Zhu Qizhen had fallen asleep.
Jia Yuanchun stroked the emperor's cheek. He was so young, as big as his brother Baoyu.
Yuanchun's fingers were stroking gently, and the corners of his eyes were already moist——
"Master, I see that you are frowning. Maybe there is something troubling you. Why don't you make a divination?"
Dao Yan looked at Li Yu, who was pretending to be a ghost and holding up a fortune-telling flag. He shook his head angrily and said: "You, a foreign Taoist priest, can't cure my heart disease."
Li Yu put away the fortune-telling props and sat down on the futon next to Daoyan with a smile.
Dao Yan sighed and said: "It is better for you, the Song Dynasty. It is better than Cai Jing, but it will fail. It is not like the Ming Dynasty. These people have formed an unbreakable alliance of interests. Just get rid of one or two, that is.
Even if everyone is killed, new people will soon replace them, which is really difficult."
Li Yu shook his head. Daming's problems were deep-rooted and difficult to solve.
Dao Yan said: "I only regret that Taizu did not kill enough!"
Li Yu felt that he was still not suitable to interrupt, so he did not follow the topic, but said: "As far as I know, in your Ming Dynasty Palace, there is a high-ranking eunuch. He is from the Yuling Hall, and the official is still
Not small."
"Oh, by the way, his surname is Hua. This surname is not common. You should be aware of it, right?"
Dao Yan nodded and said: "I already knew that this person is Hua Quan. The Yulingtang has penetrated the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty into many holes. It took a lot of effort for me to work with the late emperor to straighten it out.
788. Now that something unexpected has happened to His Majesty, I often suspect that someone is secretly assassinating the king."
This idea coincided with Li Yu's. Li Yu lowered his voice and said, "Is anyone really so bold?"
Dao Yan felt a little lonely and said: "The late emperor did not deserve to die."
Li Yu saw some clues. Daoyan had been imprisoned in Daxiangguo Temple for so long, and the Ming Dynasty had undergone great changes. He could not easily control the current situation.
There is a deep-rooted interest group in the Ming Dynasty - the civil servant group, which has secretly developed while Dao Yan was arrested.
"The late emperor's body was still cold, and his son single-handedly overturned the original decree, restored taxes, and pardoned more than a thousand officials." Dao Yan said: "They also colluded with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In order to deal with me, the inner and outer courts have done unprecedented things.
United. You have experience in doing this kind of thing in Bianliang, do you have any words to teach me?"
Sitting in front of him was Dao Yan, who single-handedly led the Jingnan incident. He was the prime minister in black. He was at a loss what to do. How could he possibly do anything about it?
Li Yu shook his head and said: "I just want the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to send someone to the next Heroes Meeting. As for who the emperor is, I don't care."
