Chapter 318 Who said that His Majesty can wake up! [2 more]
If it were another official, as a eunuch delivering edicts, he would naturally not miss the opportunity, and would make a fortune to some extent.
But this chamberlain came from Dongchang. Others don't know how he doesn't know how strong the backer in the court is.
Not to mention that his father was transferred to the cabinet by the emperor, in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, and directly controlled the evaluation and promotion of officials all over the world, but that General Manager Chu Yi valued Wang Yangming, and there were several core personnel in the East Factory who did not know about it.
That's why he was so polite when he met Wang Yangming. Otherwise, as eunuchs who deliver edicts, they have always been flattered by others, so why should they flatter others.
Moreover, the chamberlain could also tell that Wang Yangming was dressed well. Looking at the Longchang Inn, a place like a barren mountain and harsh water, unless Wang Yangming gave them the property rewarded by the emperor, it would be unrealistic to expect how much property Wang Yangming could give them.
.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, the chamberlain said to Wang Yangming with a smile on his face: "Since Lord Wang has accepted the order, we can return to the capital to deliver the order to His Majesty, so we won't disturb Lord Wang here!"
Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, smiled and sent a few people out of the inn. Seeing how many people got on their horses, he couldn't help but bowed respectfully and said: "Wang, I wish you all a safe journey!"
After watching several people leave, the disciples serving Wang Yangming slowly came back to their senses and said to Wang Shouren with excitement: "Master Wang, the emperor personally conveyed the decree to Master Wang. This is a sign of respect to the king."
How trustworthy the teacher is..."
However, Wang Yangming looked calm, glanced at several disciples and said, "Let's take care of things for a while. After handing over to the officials who came to hand over my master, I will go to Jiangxi to take up my post."
As he spoke, Wang Yangming glanced at several disciples and said: "You have been with me for the past two years. Now I want to ask you, are you willing to leave with me?"
The faces of these disciples showed joy when they heard this. Even a fool could see that Wang Yangming was highly valued by the emperor. Even the eunuch who delivered the decree was extremely polite to Wang Yangming. Coupled with their relationship with Wang Yangming,
It can be said that as long as you don't commit suicide and follow Wang Yangming closely, you will definitely have a bright future in the future.
Without hesitation at all, several disciples saluted Wang Yangming and said, "We are willing to accompany our mentor!"
Wang Yangming made a handover with the Longchang Postmaster who came to take over. He took several disciples on horseback and looked back at the Longchang Post where he had stayed for more than two years. He couldn't help but let out a long roar, suddenly raised his whip, and spurred.
The horse goes away.
Beijing
It was dark in Jiang Mian's mansion. The housekeeper of Jiang Mian's mansion cautiously entered the mansion from the back, and then went straight to the study.
In the study room, candlelight danced, and two figures sat opposite each other, none other than Mr. Mu Zhai and Jiang Mian.
At this time, the two of them were playing chess against each other, and they heard Mr. Mu Zhaigong shout: "Jingzhi, your mind is not yours, so don't play this chess!"
Jiang Mian came back to his senses, with a wry smile on his face and said to Mu Zhaigong: "This disciple is uneasy, but he has let the teacher down."
Putting down the chess piece in his hand, Mu Zhai said: "It's a very important matter, so it's reasonable for you to be uneasy. It's just that my teacher has always taught you to be calm when facing big events..."
There was a knock on the door.
Jiang Mian's eyelids twitched and he said in a deep voice: "Who!"
I only heard a voice coming from outside the study: "Master, it's an old slave!"
Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Butler, please come in!"
The butler pushed the door open and walked in, saluting Jiang Mian and Muzhai Gong. Jiang Mian stared at the butler and said impatiently: "Butler, what happened to the news that I asked you to find out? What did the imperial doctor say?
Did you ever say how your majesty is doing right now?"
The housekeeper glanced at Jiang Mian and said: "Replying to the master, Dr. Hu was too strict with his words. The old slave was kicked out as soon as he opened his mouth. However, the old slave followed the old man's instructions and went to several other imperial doctors. Finally, he was there.
After I presented him with a silver note of ten thousand taels, I learned about His Majesty’s current physical condition from Doctor Meng.”
When Muzhaigong, who was sitting there as steady as Mount Tai, heard this, a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Mian's face lit up and he said, "Tell me quickly, how is your Majesty's health now?"
The housekeeper said slowly: "According to what Imperial Physician Meng said, your Majesty is in very good health except for the injury to his leg. However, for some unknown reason, His Majesty is now unconscious. After joint diagnosis by several imperial physicians,
They were unable to find out the cause of the disease, so the Queen Mother was furious!"
Jiang Mian stroked his beard and said, "Is there anything else? Doctor Meng has said when His Majesty will be able to wake up and become a director!"
The housekeeper shook his head slightly.
He waved his hand and signaled the butler to leave.
The door of the study room was closed, Jiang Mian looked at Mu Zhaigong and said: "Teacher, Your Majesty is unconscious, what should we do now?"
Mu Zhaigong, who was stroking his beard, smiled slightly and said: "This kid Zhu Houzhao is unconscious. It seems that God is really helping us!"
Jiang Mian smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty has no worries about his life. He might be able to wake up some time, so why should the teacher be happy!"
But Duke Mu Zhai shook his head with a smile and said: "Who said your Majesty can wake up!"
Jiang Mian said: "The imperial doctor also said that your Majesty is in good health and is just in a coma. Since he is in a coma, he must wake up one day."
A cold light flashed in Mu Zhaigong's eyes, and he sneered: "Really? If he wants to wake up, it depends on whether we are willing to let him wake up!"
Jiang Mian couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard this, and said with a look of horror on his face: "Teacher, are we going to continue to attack His Majesty..."
But Duke Mu Zhai looked at Jiang Mian calmly and said, "Why, are you afraid?"
Jiang Mian exhaled and said: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy to attack His Majesty now. You must know that His Majesty just suffered this disaster, and the security in the palace is definitely the most stringent. If you want to attack again, it won't be that easy!"
"
Mu Zhaigong sneered: "The emperor is in a coma. There are only women like the queen mother and empress in the palace. If Chu Yi were to take charge of the capital, I would be afraid. But the emperor was too careless and let Chu Yi leave the capital.
If I don’t take the opportunity to take his life, wouldn’t I be sorry for this golden opportunity?”
As he spoke, Duke Mu Zhai glanced at Jiang Mian lightly and said: "You don't have to worry about these things. I will arrange them myself. You just need to do a good job and win over the ministers in the DPRK. Once the news of His Majesty's death comes out, you must do it."
Immediately unite the ministers of the DPRK and China to support the new king."
Jiang Mian had already boarded the pirate ship. Even if he wanted to get off the ship, it was too late. He could only walk all the way to the dark side. Now he looked at Mu Zhaigong and said: "The teacher said before that he would support a new king, but I don't know."
Who do you want to choose as your new king!"
Muzhaigong stroked his beard and smiled slightly and said: "Emperor Xiaozong only has one son, Zhu Houzhao, so if you want to choose a new king, you can only choose from among Emperor Xiaozong's brothers. In my opinion, Xingxian King Zhu Youqi is the best. candidate."
Jiang Mian narrowed his eyes and realized that King Xingxian Zhu Youqi was the son of Ming Xianzong and the half-brother of Xiaozong. According to blood relationship, he was the most suitable one. Since Zhu Houzhao had no children, he chose King Xingxian as the new king. No one in the DPRK, Chinese, civil and military officials would object.
Forbidden City, Kunning Palace
When the Queen and the Queen Mother saw that Zhu Houzhao was fine, their hearts dropped completely. Under Zhu Houzhao's persuasion, the Queen Mother returned to Xianxi Palace to rest, while the Queen also rested elsewhere in Kunning Palace.
In the palace, Zhu Houzhao was sitting on the bed. Opposite him, Chu Yi was sitting there in a python suit.
At this moment, Zhu Hou looked at Chu Yi and said, "Comrade, please tell me, have you ever found out all the accomplices of Xie Qian, Jiang Mian and his group?"
In the past few days, Xie Qian and Jiang Mian had almost blatantly contacted the ministers of the DPRK and China. Naturally, they could not hide from the surveillance of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
As long as the emperor gives the order, there will be Jin Yiwei and Dongchang's troops to capture Xie Qian, Jiang Mian and others. However, Zhu Houzhao wanted to kill all the accomplices of Xie Qian, Jiang Mian and others who were entrenched in the court. Don't hesitate to pretend to be comatose.
Chu Yi glanced at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty is not unaware that these people are deeply hidden. Most of the officials in the DPRK are involved with Xie Qian, Jiang Mian and others, but among them are the people who really belong to Xie Qian and his party. It’s not completely determined yet.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said, "How could I not have known? If it hadn't been for the dissuasion of my great companion, I would have really wanted to arrest all those people one by one, ransack their homes and behead them all."
However, looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression, you can tell that Zhu Houzhao is just saying angry words. As Chu Yi said, most of the civil and military officials in the DPRK are related to Xie Qian, Jiang Mian and others, but this does not mean that these officials who are related to them They all participated in the plot to murder the emperor.
If Zhu Houzhao's method is really followed, I am afraid that at least 60% to 70% of the officials in the court will suddenly be reduced, and even such nobles as the British Duke Zhang Mao will be included. After a massacre, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be wiped out. The imperial court also collapsed.
Even if Chu Yi is extremely capable, it is impossible for him to rule the world by himself. In the end, the world still depends on the civil and military forces above the court.
Even if he knows that at least most of the civil and military officials above the court have problems, even if he wants to replace them, he still has to do it slowly. The Ming Dynasty itself is like a seriously ill patient at the moment. If he comes up and uses a strong dose of medicine, , not only is it useless to the Ming Dynasty, but it may directly cause a dangerous building like the Ming Dynasty to completely collapse.
Otherwise, Chu Yi would have gone on a killing spree unscrupulously. It can be said that except for a very small number of officials in the capital, all of them were pulled out and beheaded without justice. But if they were so reckless, they would all die together.
Smiling slightly, Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, just relax, wait a little longer, I believe Mr. Muzhai will definitely help us identify who is loyal and who is traitorous!"
