Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

From the day of the [-]th of the third year, Emperor Hongzhi fell into a high fever when he returned to Xiyuan from the Taimiao. He also woke up and fainted for a while.

Even went into shock a few times.

In the strange backwardness of medicine, even a strong man may not be able to bear such a mountainous illness, let alone Hongzhi, an old patient.

An ominous atmosphere hangs over Xiyuan.

The news of Emperor Hongzhi's critical illness shocked the entire capital in an instant. Judging from the scene at the Taimiao, Emperor Hongzhi might not be able to survive this winter.

In fact, all the officials knew what had happened to the emperor's body these years.However, it is said that Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have nothing to do with people a few years ago. On the surface, he can support it for three to five years.

Three to five years later, even if the emperor is prosperous and the crown prince has grown up, he can be in charge, not to mention, under the guidance of the three elders, he has to grind away his stubborn temper.

But now the emperor is suddenly critically ill, and the prince is not yet an adult, so he has no way to take charge of the government. Could it be possible to let the queen hang down the curtain and act like a foreign relative intervening in politics?

This is still a small section, and there are three elders in the cabinet, and the state affairs have not yet reached this point.

But the seriousness of the problem lies in the fact that now that the vassal kings from all over the world are gathering in the capital, it is inevitable that no one will have ulterior motives to make troubles and rains.The old Zhu's family was originally from a grassroots background. Since the Taizu, they have believed in the absolute truth that "the emperor is the son of heaven, and he who is strong in soldiers and horses will do it".After Taizu, Chengzu was not qualified to succeed to the throne, but he held a heavy hand, and Feng Tianjing was difficult, so he snatched the throne back.

Another example of Huai, Zhu Gaoxun also came to such a place during the Renzong Dynasty.

When he arrived at Yingzong Tumubao, Daizong proclaimed himself emperor under the support of Yuqian.

Later, Yingzong relied on a change of seizing the door to snatch the throne back again.

In the blood of Lao Zhu's family, there is a gene of ambition. When it comes to critical moments, all morals and rituals must be put aside in front of swords and guns, and they will be taken by force alone, without compromise.

During the few days when the emperor was seriously ill, there was a violent shock in the political arena of the capital.

First of all, the whole city was under martial law. Soldiers from Jinyiwei and Dongchang filled the streets to search for people.All the soldiers from the Beijing camp also came into the city to guard the nine gates.

Secondly, the group of officials from the Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites were completely wiped out because of the sacrificing turmoil. Among them, Li Shishi, the prime minister of the Taichang Temple, who presided over the grand sacrifice of the Taichang Temple, was also wiped out. Among those on the list of dismissal and pending use, it is estimated that his political life has come to an end.

Third, the emperor issued an imperial decree, ordering the vassal princes entering the capital to leave the capital before the [-]th day of the first lunar month and return to their fiefdoms, otherwise, they would be punished as treason.

The palace was in chaos, and Su Mu had no way to leave Xiyuan these few days. As the prince's good friend, he was naturally clear about the court's movements.

It seems that the reason why Emperor Hongzhi issued the edict ordering the vassal king to leave the capital must be because he believed what he said that King Huai wanted to collude with Jin Yiwei, and he became vigilant in his heart.

Duke Huai can only return to Beijing once a year, so if he can return to his fiefdom this time, Su Mu will naturally be very happy.In March, I will take part in the examination, and when I am selected as a Jinshi, I will be admitted to Hanlin, and after I gain strength, I will no longer be afraid of this old immortal coming to trouble me.

As for Jinshi's fame, Su Mu was very sure because he knew the exam questions in advance.

However, the emperor suspected that the matter of King Huai was not all good news for Su Mu. Just today, Xiyuan Yingtai issued another imperial decree: Exempt Jinyiwei Commander Mou Bin, Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi Nanchengqian, etc. Hu Shun, who has a thousand households in the household, conducts self-examination at home, waiting for the boss to issue.

Hearing this news, Su Mu was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out.

"No, if the emperor suspects that King Huai colluded with Jin Yiwei to rebel, it would be fine if he dismissed Mou Bin just to be on the safe side, but Hu Shun's daughter was obviously tied up and beaten by King Huai. official?"

But after a little deliberation, Su Mu took a breath and patted his forehead: "I still underestimate Emperor Hongzhi. The so-called God's will is unpredictable. The emperor has been wallowing in conspiracy and tricks all his life. Suspecting everything is instinct. The emperor , has never been a normal person, and naturally cannot be judged by common sense."

Thinking about what happened that day in Prince Huai's mansion, Emperor Hongzhi had already checked everything out. Naturally, he knew that the reason why Hu Shun and Prince Huai had an enmity was because Su Mu and the crown prince intervened.

The problem is, when King Huai sent someone to propose marriage to Hu's family, Hu Shun didn't simply refuse, but hid.In the political arena, you must have a clear-cut stand and a firm stand, otherwise you will be on the wrong team.

Why do you, Hu Shun, want to hide? Do you have room for maneuver in the future, or do you think that you will marry your daughter if you really have no other choice, and then rebel with Duke Huai?

Although you have already drawn a clear line with Duke Huai, why did you compromise before.A gentleman asks his heart but not his actions, and he won it!

Su Mu: "People say that Hongzhi is a benevolent king, but when it comes to the throne, he is vigorous and ruthless. It really is the top few Ming emperors in the Ming Dynasty. This political method is really amazing!"

He praised in his heart, and Su Mu was also a little helpless: Hu Shun is not an official, it’s fine, if he can save his life, it’s considered smoke from the ancestral grave, if it’s replaced by an emperor like Chengzu, it’s not enough to die a hundred times .Well, for Hu Ying's sake, when Emperor Hongzhi dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, I'll intercede for him, and I will always give me, the quasi-father-in-law, a good way out.

"Ah!" Thinking of this, Su Mu exclaimed suddenly: "Pass, why did I think that Hongzhi was going to die!" Sweat came out of his vest.

Looking at the bronze mirror on the desk in the study, there was a horrified face inside.

"Butterfly Effect!" Goosebumps all over my body rose.

"A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later."

A phenomenon in which a very small disturbance of the initial value can cause a large change in the system.

If it is said that the history of the Ming Dynasty that Su Mu traveled through is a huge space-time system, he, who does not belong to this era, can only be regarded as a very smiling disturbance.However, as he gradually integrated into this world and influenced the superstructure of this world with his words and deeds, quantitative changes turned into qualitative changes. Will history still be as written in the book?

Su Mu pondered for a while, and finally discovered the crux of the problem: first of all, according to the real history, if Hu Shun hadn't helped himself, Hu Shun would not have been able to become the Jinyiwei, the Deputy Qianhu, and the commander of the Jinyiwei, Mou Bin. Hands hold real power.If Hu Shun didn't hold real power, Duke Huai would not come to propose marriage in order to win over him; if he didn't come to propose marriage, Hu Ying would not come to discuss marriage with Duke Huai with a knife.

If she hadn't come to argue, she wouldn't have been caught by King Huai and tied to a stone lion, and I, Su Mu, wouldn't have beaten King Huai violently.

If I hadn't beaten King Huai violently, I wouldn't have blamed him for plotting evil in order to get away, and Emperor Hongzhi wouldn't have been so angry that he fell ill.

And this was during the great sacrificial ceremony, and he could not see a doctor, so Emperor Hongzhi's condition deteriorated completely!

According to the real history, Emperor Hongzhi will die in one year.In fact, his body has been completely decayed, and the reason why he didn't completely collapse is probably because the delicate balance between his body organs is still maintained.

Now, I had a fever for a day and didn't take any medicine. It is estimated that this balance has been broken.

Maybe, it won't last for a few days?

If Hongzhi dies, the future Emperor Zhengde will only be 15 years old, not yet old enough to be in charge.

So, in what direction will the political situation of the Ming Dynasty develop in the future?What impact will it have on the future of my Sumu?

And all of this, this series of "if" and "also" appeared only because on that ordinary day, Su Mu walked into the small courtyard of Hu's house and saw a frighteningly tall woman holding scissors to the other in the courtyard. Pruning branches of gardenia bushes.

"Little beauty, is Madam here?"
