Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1138
The emperor passed away. Although various arrangements were made in and out of the palace, there is no official information on whether the emperor was poisoned to death. The current saying is that the emperor suddenly fell ill.

The crown prince's ascension to the throne is not just about going through procedures in the palace, but also requires the recognition of the courtiers. Only when the two sides reach an agreement, will the grand ceremony be held.

Of course, in most cases, there is not so much right and wrong. Although changing the crown prince is a turmoil that every generation of emperors always encounters before ascending the throne, it is more just a small turmoil. There are rumors, but they are just rumors. As long as the Queen Mother expresses her opinion, The ministers also died down.

But Empress Zheng, who should be the Empress Dowager Zheng now, does not have such a great influence among the courtiers. Back then, when Wang Tong led troops into Beijing to fight for the foundation of the country, he almost washed the court with blood. After that, Emperor Wanli kept most of the court officials in order to prevent Wang Tong from dominating.

This is not a problem, but these ministers and their disciples have walked on the tip of the knife, how can they have any kindness towards Queen Zheng and the prince.

What's more, in the current situation, since the 31st year of Wanli, some people have been mentioning that the eldest son Zhu Changluo should be the prince. Every time the person who mentioned this was dismissed and exiled, but he never suppressed this voice. After the death of the emperor, Empress Zheng came down again. Poisonous gossip, this is a good time to stir up trouble and seek profit in chaos.

Make a fuss, make a fuss, if Zhu Changluo, the King of Fu, can be made emperor, then those who make the fuss will benefit, even if they can't, if they want to appease everyone, they can't do it empty-handed.

Most of the important ministers dealt with various matters after the death of Emperor Wanli indifferently, but their students and disciples began to act crazily.

There are already people going to kowtow outside the Daming Gate, and more and more people are going. There are officials from various ministries, censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy, etc. All the people sent to join in the fun, for the sake of talking about it in the future, we also participate in the big politics.

Every time there is a similar thing in the capital, there is a general noise, and no one pays special attention to it, but there are too many people going this time, as many as there are!As long as Tianjin Wei is still stable, Daming will not be in chaos, so it's good to join in the fun in the past.

"Ms. Zheng is a Daji-like character, causing chaos and chaos!!"

"The palace has been controlled by traitors, please ask the Jinyiwei divisions to enter the palace to investigate the case, otherwise the hearts of the people of the world will not be calmed."

".Emperor's eldest son, Zhu Changluo, should be the crown prince. Please send someone from the palace to Luoyang to welcome King Fu to the throne, and honor the Wang family as the empress dowager."

These public opinions were extremely rebellious in the past, but now, who cares about the face of the Tian family? In the past few years, the struggle for power in Beijing and Tianjin has already been torn apart. The authority has been shaken a lot, and everyone has become a lot bolder.

If this wave of talk is allowed to develop, there will soon be big figures from the DPRK and China participating, and when that day comes, it will be out of control.

The Empress Dowager Zheng and Zheng Guotai understood this truth. While letting the courtiers they had won over the past few years to sing the opposite tune, they repeatedly ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang to dispatch to suppress it.

Things are so easy. Back then, Jinyiwei cavalry escorted Wang Tong's family to Tianjin, but now they still listen to others' orders. Assign orders not to them.

The guards walked around the streets to prevent lawbreakers from making troubles. As for the vicinity of Daming Gate, they didn't get involved at all, and they went to one or two to maintain order.

The Zheng family is also wealthy now, so what is money at this time, a lot of money is scattered, just asking these people with knives to help.

Money is in front, and it's not that no one is unmoved, it's just that a few hundred households in Jinyiwei wanted to lead a team out, but as soon as they walked out of a street, they were stopped by the thousand households in charge of them, and when they returned to the station, those who led them out were immediately arrested Sent to Hamiwei to serve, responsible for intelligence investigation in the Western Regions.

What made the palace even more chilling was that the imperial guards couldn't move anymore. Several battalion officials complained of illness, and those who stayed said righteously there:
"The purpose of the ministers' swords is to slaughter treacherous and evil captives. The city is full of loyal ministers and good people of Ming Dynasty. Why use large soldiers?"

Empress Dowager Zheng has nothing to do, Crown Prince Zhu Changxun doesn't know what to do, Zheng Guotai is anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and the courtiers of their line are also in a panic. They all know that there is a method that can be used, but they dare not use it .

People began to die in the city. Several ministers who were obviously making trouble behind their backs died at home. Several Qingliu leaders were also ambushed on their way home. Some were assassinated and some were seriously injured.

What is even more frightening is that someone from Xiangcheng's Chen family was also assassinated. Chen Sibao's two younger brothers were both generals in the Beijing camp. They were assassinated in the camp, and one died and the other was injured.

There are signs of chaos in the capital gradually, but such means are indeed effective. Without the instigation and connection, the students and disciples of the big bosses, and those Qingliu who followed the booing all shrank their heads. After all, this life is more important.

There are fewer people in front of the Daming Gate, but there are still many people there. These people are not afraid of life and death, and the Jinyiwei and the various yamen have increased the number of escorts, so that they will no longer let people take advantage of the loopholes. I heard that the assassin was caught. Before being silenced, he said that he was sent by someone from the Palace Supervisor.

Looking at the courtiers who were not afraid of life and death in front of the Daming Gate, everyone finally understood that this matter was not speculative, but someone was behind it.

Then came the news one by one from Henan
"King Fu has already left the city, and the magistrate has not stopped him."

"King Fu has already crossed the river and landed, and will enter Zhili in four days."

".The magistrate of Zhending prefecture received the king of blessing with the etiquette of welcoming the emperor"

The situation is completely out of control. Compared to the cowardly Zhu Changxun, Fu Wang Zhu Changluo is also an extremely simple and honest person. He has no other hobbies except for women. Let him go to Beijing to bet on the throne. He would prefer to stay in Luoyang to play Woman, he may not be willing to do such a risky thing.

However, it doesn't matter whether Fu Wang is sincere or not, this action is the last straw that crushes Queen Mother Zheng.

From the very beginning of this incident, Empress Zheng and the people in the palace knew what to do to solve the mess in front of them, but they all knew that they couldn't do that.

The situation in front of me is a serious illness. Everyone knows how to treat this illness, but after taking the medicine, the illness is cured, and the person is about to die.

But the most urgent task at the moment is to let the prince Zhu Changxun ascend the throne. If he does not ascend the throne, nothing will be mentioned. There may still be so many possibilities after ascending the throne.

Empress Dowager Zheng decreed that the capital was in turmoil, and senior ministers were required to preside over the overall situation. Although Wang Tong, the king of Lelang County, was ill, he should put state affairs first and go to Beijing on business.

When the decree was issued, Wang Tong still treated it with the straightforward attitude of a warrior, without any false refusal, he directly accepted the order and prepared to enter the capital. The legions all began to move around the capital.

When the news of Wang Tong's receiving the decree reached the capital and was officially confirmed, the people in front of the Daming Gate immediately dispersed, and the capital became quiet all of a sudden.

Both Shuntian Mansion and Jinyiwei began to dispatch servants and soldiers to the streets, and began to put martial law on the streets, while the generals of the Forbidden Army and the Beijing Camp ordered their subordinates not to go out.

As for Zhu Changluo, the King of Fu who had already entered the city of Zhending, he was guarded by the prefect with troops, and the prefect who welcomed King Fu into the city with the gift of the emperor has now become a great hero who used tricks to stop King Fu.

It is a serious crime for the vassal king to leave the city. The capital has sent Jin Yiwei to deal with it, and the Ministry of Rites will discuss the crime. In the current situation, with King Fu's status, confinement is probably inevitable.

Before Wang Tong entered the capital, the eunuch Cai Nan, the admiral of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, entered the capital first, and Chen Sibao, the battalion officer of the Imperial Army, personally welcomed him to the Governor's Mansion of the Imperial Army in Xiyuan.

The three eunuchs of the royal horse supervisor, supervisor and admiral became false titles after the 21st year of Wanli. They were not real positions, but were added titles to eunuchs with high status, or high-ranking eunuchs in the foreign supervising army, but they could get it This high-ranking person is only Cai Nan of the Imprisonment Army.

But the rules are enforced by people. Before they are clarified, the old rules can be used. Cai Nan now has the legal power to control the Forbidden Army. Of course, the Forbidden Army also acquiesces in this kind of control.

The strength of the three regiments of the imperial army came outside the city, and the cavalry and half of the artillery team also arrived. This force, together with the Jinyiwei in the city, the horses of the five city soldiers, and the forces of the imperial army and the Beijing camp to get close to Wang Tong, Wang Tong's strength in the capital had already is an absolute advantage.

No one knows what will happen next, and everyone knows what will happen in the future.
The people who had connected with each other before and incited the uproar were all quiet. They knew that their performance was over at this time, and now it was time for the main character to appear on stage.

Shen Yiguan, who had been in the position of chief assistant of the cabinet for less than two years, finally understood why Wang Xijue wanted to leave. In the current situation, as the chief assistant and the head of civil servants, he really couldn't take refuge in Wang Tong's side. He is the chief civil servant, so what position can he give if he goes there, but if he doesn't bow his head, it's hard to say whether this position can be secured.

All the procedures that had been stopped after the death of the emperor began to run again, the funeral was buried, and the new emperor was enthroned, everything began to be prepared in an orderly manner, but there was no relaxed atmosphere in the palace to speak of.

In June of the first year of Taichang, Wang Tong returned to the capital, and all the officials of the court and the nobles of the capital went out of the city to welcome him. Wang Tong lived in the former Lelang County Palace.

When Wang Tong walked halfway, he encountered an assassin. A personal guard stood in front of him. The assassin committed suicide before being caught——
