It turns out that she is really a miracle doctor

Chapter 249 Proves Ah Zhi's Identity
It was already February, but snow had been falling in many places in the Great Zhou. It seemed as if God was feeling sorry for this kind but unfortunate emperor.

In Lingyang City, Lu Zheng was holding a plate of cakes and listening to Hua Sui telling her about the news from the capital. In addition to the letters from the capital, there was also news from Sui Lun.

At this time, only Meng Wanwan and Shangguan Pingyang were left to accompany Lu Zheng in Lingyang City. Ten days ago, Wang Zhi was taken to the capital by Xiao Qi's men. When Wang Zhi left, he was still reluctant to leave, so Lianxin had no choice but to follow him.

Wang Zheng's family also went to the capital with Wang Zhi. They were unwilling to stay in Lingyang City and said that the family should be together no matter what they would face in the capital. Even Wang Nian was carried to the capital by Mrs. Wang.

As the Spring Examination was approaching, Song Siwen and Li Qingfeng also went to the capital along with the carriage that came to pick up Wang Zhi.

"At first, there was a huge fight in front of Taiji Palace. I heard that the people from the two Dukes' Mansions had already deployed their troops outside the palace. The Queen Mother and the Empress were even more confrontational in front of the palace. The two newly selected princes were so scared that they fell ill..."

Lu Zheng was still eating pastries, and Meng Wanwan found it a little frightening to hear what she said.

"and then?"

Hua Sui took two sips of the tea that had been drying beside her, and while helping You Geng peel chestnuts, she said, "Later, the prince led his troops back to the capital, and both sides immediately stopped fighting and prepared to turn their spearheads against the prince!"

"But who is our prince? He is the war god of our Great Zhou! How could he be scared by them?"

At this point, Lu Zheng saw the look of great admiration and pride in Hua Sui's eyes. The young men of the Great Zhou admired Lingyang King Xiao Chu'nan the most, while the little girl admired Meng Wanwan's mother, Zhaoning Princess Xiao Yanshu the most.

Lu Zheng smiled in her heart. Hua Sui never considered herself a girl...

"The seventh prince was disgraced, and the Tong family hated the queen and fell out with the Chengguo Mansion. Not only that, all the princes' in-laws no longer had any dealings with the two major dukes' mansions."

Although Emperor Chongning was not as capable as his elder brother Emperor Hongzhi, he was not only a benevolent and kind monarch, but also a good father. Perhaps because he was not liked by his father in his childhood, he did his best to be a good father.

After learning that Emperor Chongning died of poisoning, all the princes hated the man who killed their father. Even though there was a possibility that someone else would be helped to ascend to that position, the temptation of power at this time still could not offset their hatred.

"As soon as the prince returned to the capital, he announced his majesty's will in front of all the civil and military officials and royal family members. Miss, do you know who his majesty has appointed as the crown prince?"

Lu Zheng, who was stuffing pastries into her mouth, glanced at Hua Sui, whose face was flushed and slightly excited. Meeting her expectant eyes, she didn't know what to say.

There were a few glass beads on the tea tray on the table that Wang Zhi forgot to take away. Lu Zheng raised her hand and picked up one, then looked at Hua Sui. The meaning was self-evident.

Hua Sui opened her mouth in disbelief, "How did you guess that, young lady? I was shocked when I heard the news."

Lu Zheng threw the glass beads back into the tea tray. "Why else would you bring Ah Zhi to Beijing? To study?"

"That's right..."

Meng Wanwan followed up and asked, "The Queen Mother and the Empress won't accept this result so easily, right?"

They have been planning for a long time, how can they be willing to make wedding dresses for others?
Hua Sui's face turned serious again, "That's right, Lord Sui said that the two sides almost went to war, and he was ready to lead troops to the capital, but our prince and the prince had already made preparations."

"The Imperial City Defense Battalion managed by the Tong family no longer obeys the orders of the government. The garrison battalion outside the capital was taken over by Earl Ningyuan. The young lady previously saved the life of Earl Ningyuan's second son Xu Tao. Earl Ningyuan will not go against the Lingyang Palace."

"The Crown Prince has stationed all the guards of the Lingyang Palace near the Taiji Hall. The Black Armor Guards are protecting the princes in secret, and all the soldiers from various government offices who can stand in line have done so." In this way, there are not many soldiers left in the capital. Without the soldiers of the Imperial City Defense Battalion and the camp outside the capital, the two great dukes' palaces will not have much military support to rely on in the capital.

"The Queen Mother and the Empress were both strongly opposed, so the prince took out His Majesty's handwritten letter and seal. Although several old princes of the royal family were also surprised, most of them followed His Majesty's will."

It was also because the two great dukes' houses had been appointing people based on personal connections over the years and had ignored the royal family. At a critical moment, how could the royal family help them? After all, the world belonged to their Xiao family.

"Duke Chengguo even scolded our prince in the palace, saying that there is still a prince, but our prince found this wild child from nowhere, how can he be made the crown prince?"

"But the fourth prince injured his arm, and the seventh prince injured his face. Those with illnesses or disfigurement cannot inherit the throne. But the remaining princes... the second prince is timid and has a stutter, the third prince... is not very smart, and the fifth prince... is a bit stupid."

Hua Sui's words were already very tactful, and Lu Zheng could tell that, except for the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince who were previously favored by the two Dukes' Mansions, none of the other princes were smart or clever children.

No wonder... In addition to protecting his own children, Emperor Chongning had no choice but to give up in the end...

"There is no precedent in this dynasty. Many court officials also have some opposition. Only a few nobles have no objection. At this time, the Grand Master Jin Wang stood up and proved Azhi's identity."

"I don't know when the prince asked the Grand Master to put Ah Zhi on the royal family tree. When the Prince of Jin opened his mouth, everyone in the two Dukes' Mansions was dumbfounded..."

Although Prince Jin was somewhat reluctant, he could not hinder the royal family in the face of major issues. If they could not turn the situation around, they would have to be subordinate to their foreign relatives in the capital.

Hua Sui glanced at Meng Wanwan with gratitude in her eyes, "Later, Prince Jin and Prince Linjiang took the lead in leading the royal family to support your majesty's will, and the voices of opposition became much smaller."

With the will, military power, and Azhi's identity certificate, Prince Lingyang turned the situation around with powerful means. Although Azhi did not immediately take the position at this moment, it would be difficult for the two major dukes' mansions to turn the tables.

After Lu Zheng finished the pastries on the plate, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart once again at the abilities of Xiao Chu'nan and his son. These two must have emptied out their family assets and connections in order to try their best to turn this situation around.

Hua Sui was telling them the story like a storyteller, but Lu Zheng knew that the scene must have been extremely dangerous and someone must have been bleeding in secret, otherwise, how could Emperor Chongning and Prince Lingyang not have taken this step after so many years?
Later, Lu Zheng learned that Xiao Chunan brought back to Beijing all the best soldiers in the army, including a group of archers and crossbowmen, and the latest bows and crossbows were made by the Shangguan family.

On that day, five officials above the third rank in the capital died, all in their own homes. They were all military generals affiliated with the two dukes' mansions.

Many palace servants disappeared from the palace...

After Hua Sui finished speaking, she calmed down a little, and felt embarrassed for being too excited just now. After a while, she asked Lu Zheng.

"In a few days, the late emperor's coffin will be brought to the imperial mausoleum. If everything goes well, the prince will inherit the throne according to the will. Will you go to the capital at that time?"

Lu Zheng took a sip of tea and looked at Shangguan Pingyang, who had been sitting in the hall trying to watch them talk with a puzzled look on his face but was too embarrassed to ask them. She did not answer Hua Sui's question, but smiled and said, "You spoke too fast. Master Shangguan didn't hear it all. Tell him again."

"Ah?" Hua Sui stared at Shangguan Pingyang in a daze, and the latter gave her an apologetic smile.

Lu Zheng suppressed her laughter and said, "Speak more slowly..."

I sorted out the outline. The main text is almost finished. There will be a sequel after the main text is finished. To be honest, this book is indeed more intermittent, which makes many of you wait anxiously. So I plan to save the full text for the next book, and it may take a long time to meet you all...
