Chapter 458 The Sign of the Changing Sky

What happened almost at the same time as Lu Wan and others were imprisoned was that the emperor summoned the princes, marquises, uncles, son-in-laws, ministers of ministries, officials of science and Taoism, etc. who were in Beijing to Tongzhou.

It is said that it is necessary to discuss the crime of King Ning.

Yang Tinghe was very cautious about this, and requested only officials from the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to go with him. As for himself, he would never go to Tongzhou to risk his life.

There has been no news from the emperor for many days, and now no one knows the progress of Zhu Houzhao's condition. Yang Tinghe is very worried that Jiang Bin will follow Zhao Gao and be forced to become Li Si after going to Tongzhou.

But then, Zhu Houzhao showed up in Tongzhou.

What he did... made the court ministers dumbfounded.

It turned out to be a robbery of a civilian girl again.

It seems that Zhu Houzhao's condition is not serious, and he is even more joyful than before.

end of november.

All the royal relatives, princes and ministers agreed that King Ning had been convicted of treason, and if he was to die, Ling Chi would report it to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao thought that the punishment was too heavy, and instead of giving him a lighter punishment, he probably wanted to keep Zhu Chenhao's whole body.

On the sixth day of December, Zhu Chenhao, an untimely ambitious man, committed suicide in Tongzhou, and then his body was set on fire. As for whether he died first and then burned, or was burned alive, no one knew. I know, maybe some people are afraid that King Ning will bite out someone before he dies, this fire is very bizarre, and the final result is that Zhu Chenhao was directly burned to ashes.

A generation of treacherous kings passed away.

It was two days after the news reached the capital. When Zhu Hao told Lou Suzhen the news, Lou Suzhen was expressionless and did not even shed tears. Perhaps she had already guessed the result.

Lou Suzhen has never supported her husband's rebellion, and there have been many disputes over this. Zhu Hao doesn't know how the relationship between husband and wife was before King Ning raised his troops, but it seems that Lou Suzhen has accepted her fate now. After all, from the perspective of outsiders, she is now a dead person.

If you can't protect yourself, what right do you have to feel sorry for others?

"People from the Lou family..."

Lou Suzhen was silent for a long time, her eyes became a little more eager.

It is inevitable that King Ning's lineage will be wiped out, but the Lou family and King Ning are only relatives by marriage, and Lou Suzhen hopes that her mother's family will be safe and sound.

Zhu Hao said: "For the time being, the Lou family has not been implicated in this matter, but there is no guarantee that the case will not be expanded in the coming year...Madam, don't worry, His Majesty's condition is getting worse, I'm afraid time is running out."

Only Zhu Houzhao cared so much about finding out the details of King Ning's rebellion, or the people around the emperor, and Jiang Bin wanted to make a big fuss about it.

When the emperor dies and a branch of the royal family ascends to the throne, the case of King Ning's rebellion will be reduced to a minor one.

"But my concubine heard that His Majesty is fine in Tongzhou, and he still goes out and about in the market..." Lou Suzhen said.

Zhu Hao shook his head with a smile: "Even a person like Madam who lives in the residential alley can learn the news from the outside world. How reliable is it? If His Majesty is fine now, why does this kind of news spread like wildfire?"

Lou Suzhen asked suspiciously: "My lord, you are saying that someone deliberately spread the news to make the world think that His Majesty is okay with bowing?"

"Ah."

Zhu Hao nodded.

Now those who are most afraid of the emperor's accident, or who are afraid of others thinking that the emperor has an accident, are Jiang Bin, Zhang Zhong and other courtiers around the emperor. They rely on the emperor's favor to have their current status and wealth. If the emperor is gone, Their end will come too.

It was rumored before that the emperor might have an accident during his southern tour, so they came to "self-proof" and let the "emperor" go to the people to rob the women of the people, and spread the news deliberately.

In their view, the emperor's reputation is not important. Anyway, the current Emperor Zhengde is already notorious, or he can use some unscrupulous things to make the world think that this is the emperor who is messing around. Who dares to think that this is actually someone pretending In the name of the emperor, go out to make trouble and pour dirty water on the emperor?
"Madam's condolences, if you need some sacrificial supplies, just tell the people around you, and they will prepare it for you." Zhu Hao said.

"No need!"

Lou Suzhen shook her head calmly.

Although she was pretending to be calm, it was obvious that she still cared about King Ning, especially the children. When the two said goodbye, Zhu Haoneng could clearly notice that the corners of her eyes were red and tears were in her eyes, but she deliberately concealed the sadness in her heart.

In Zhu Hao's view, King Ning has passed away, and it is a blessing for you, Lou Suzhen, to save his life, so what else can you do?
……

……

Forbidden City, Renshou Palace.

During the period from the end of winter to the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Empress Dowager Zhang summoned Yang Tinghe three times in succession to inquire about her son's return to Beijing.

On the matter of letting the emperor return to the capital to rest, Empress Dowager Zhang took the same position as the civil servants. She was afraid that Zhu Houzhao would be sick and the courtiers who controlled the military power would take the opportunity to disrupt the country. Empress Dowager Zhang hoped to persuade the emperor to return to Beijing through Yang Tinghe. .

Obviously, Yang Tinghe didn't need Empress Dowager Zhang's reminder, he had already done so, and the method he used was to let the imperial physician prescribe strong medicine. It was really "strong medicine". Don't you feel better, Emperor?Let's use some other means, drug your body to make it look bad, and then scare you, let you know that you have to rest in order to fully recover.Of course, our purpose is not to poison you, but to make you quit.

It is to let the emperor make a choice between the imperial physician and Jiang Bin and others.

If you believe in the imperial physician, you can go back to the capital. If you don’t believe me, you can follow Jiang Bin to the Xuanfu. Anyway, you have often lived there in the past few years. It depends on whether you have the courage to bear all the consequences.

Zhu Houzhao is really afraid of death!

At such a young age, being an emperor is enjoying his life, and his whole life is not enough, so how can he be willing to die?Nothing else could stop his nonsense, except his physical condition made him fearful. Three days after King Ning's death, on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Sheng Jia left for Beijing.

It took nearly three days to travel from Tongzhou to the capital. On the afternoon of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Sheng Jia and his party arrived in the capital and entered the city in a mighty manner that day.

Zhu Houzhao, in order to show that his condition is healthy and to appease people's hearts, he gave up taking a luanjia when he entered the city and rode a horse instead. When the banners were flying, he was wearing a gold helmet and silver armor. He was majestic and majestic. , The momentum is huge, giving the impression that he is very healthy and has nothing to do.

Many people went to watch that day, but because the roads were blocked, most people could only watch from a distance. Zhu Hao also found a place to watch the grand occasion of the emperor entering the city. This was the first time he saw Zhu Houzhao himself, although it was only from a distance. At a glance, it is basically certain that it should be the emperor himself.

"It seems that His Majesty's condition is not serious."

Su Xigui and Zhu Hao went together. The two stood in front of a three-story window, across the street, and saw Zhu Houzhao ostentatiously walking through the market.

Zhu Hao nodded in agreement with Su Xigui's words.

Judging from the current situation, the emperor's condition has not developed to the point of dying.

Falling into the water is likely to be infected with pneumonia. There is a lack of antibiotics these days. Pneumonia is already a very serious condition, and there may be recurrence of the disease, but the root cause is the heavy metal poisoning caused by Zhu Houzhao's long-term use of elixir...

If Zhu Hao really intends to assist Zhu Houzhao, he only needs to send the plant antibiotics he made to the palace. After about half a month of treatment, Zhu Houzhao's pneumonia can basically be cured, but his heavy metal poisoning cannot be improved by Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao didn't intend to be a courtier of the Zhengde dynasty either.

The next Jiang Bin will leave behind eternal infamy?

Don't mention any abilities, as strong as Wang Qiong, just because he was in the Zhengde Dynasty, wouldn't he be infamous for thousands of years?Human affairs that do not conform to the orthodox civilian values ​​will be ruthlessly criticized. Zhu Hao does not want to be tied up with Zhu Houzhao, a mischievous emperor, nor does he want to be stabbed in the back after death.

Regardless of whether Zhu Houzhao is strong or not, his nonsense character is not suitable for being the king of a country, and not suitable for governing the country.

It was so noisy that Zhu Hao felt that he couldn't cover it.

"Young Master, do you still think... Your Majesty's... fate... eh?" Su Xigui asked tentatively seeing Zhu Hao kept looking at Sheng Jia and his party in the distance.

Zhu Hao nodded: "Of course, there will be results in a few months."

"Oh."

Su Xigui smiled and said, "I hope everything goes as the little master said."

Now they are very familiar with each other, as long as they don't say something clearly, they hint to each other, knowing it well, they are all guessing when the current emperor will die.

……

……

The news of the emperor's return to Beijing reached Anlu around the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month.

It had been two months since Tang Yin returned to Anlu with Zhu Si and his party.

Just as Zhu Hao predicted, after Tang Yin returned to Anlu, his power was almost completely emptied, not only him, but even Zhang Zuo's Chengfeng Division was completely suppressed by Yuan Zonggao's Changshi Division.

Now Concubine Jiang only asks Yuan Zonggao about big and small matters. After Tang Yin returns to Anlu, he only has one chance to see Zhu Si. He is not going to give him a class, but just discussing the storage of autumn grain as a routine.

"Brother Bohu, there have been a lot of things happening in the palace recently, why can't I see you?"

Jiang Lun now received more respect than Tang Yin.

Although Jiang Lun is not a long history, he is Princess Jiang's nominal younger brother. Now Princess Jiang trusts this younger brother in everything, but treats Tang Yin as an outsider.

Tang Yin said with a smile: "I've been busy with painting recently, and often have no time to be distracted."

There was a burst of misery in my heart.

In the past, he would have quit long ago.

I originally turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon in Xingwang's mansion would rather shine in the ditch and ignore me. This is a great insult to celebrities. When did I, Tang Bohu, suffer from such a bird's anger?

Gone away!

This is his previous state of mind.

But this time he remembered Zhu Hao's advice, knowing that it is an eventful season, or that there will be another big event in the spring of the next year, plus Zhu Hao left a kit for him as a backup, and Lou Suzhen's advice Encouragement... These things made him feel that even if he was left out for a year or so, it was not unacceptable.

Jiang Lun said: "Brother Bohu, I heard that His Majesty has returned to Beijing. There are secret rumors that His Majesty is seriously ill. It seems that he fell into the water and fell ill on the way back from the southern tour to the north. All the imperial physicians in the palace have been transferred to work. His Majesty has been keeping a low profile recently. ... After returning to Beijing, there is no news after entering the Leopard Room, could it be... the sky is really going to change?"

Hearing these words, Tang Yin couldn't help being excited: "The news is reliable?"

"Of course it's reliable." Jiang Lun said, "I just want to ask you, if the sky really changes, is it true that the dragon... will come out of our Xing Palace?"
