Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 400
He Liu has been a wandering wild crane for a whole year.This year was the happiest time in his life.

In the late spring of the sixth year of Longqing, Xiangxiang and Li Rubai's son was born.He Liu became a grandfather.Li Chengliang was quite generous and asked his in-laws to name him.He Liu named his grandson "Li Hanjiao" by taking one character from each of the two lines of the poem "Bending the bow to bid farewell to the moon in Han Dynasty, inserting feathers to break through the pride of heaven".

Due to the bitter cold in the military camp, Li Chengliang sent another letter asking Xiao Hanjiao to stay with He Liu.Congratulations on the addition of newcomers to the Liu family, needless to say the family happiness.He, the sixth master of Jinyiwei, who once ruled the mountains and rivers, enjoys washing his grandson's diapers every day, and he never tires of it!
Heaven cycle.Someone is born, someone is going to die.Every day, countless babies come to the world, and countless people want to return to the underworld.This has been the case since Pangu opened the world.

On May 24th, the sixth year of Longqing, in the evening, Emperor Longqing suddenly sent Feng Bao to He's residence to deliver an oral order, ordering He Liu to attend the morning court at Chengtian Hall tomorrow morning.

He Liu, who was still holding a diaper in his hand, was puzzled.He was sick at home and hadn't been to court for nearly a year.During this period, Emperor Longqing never sent a decree to let him participate in the court meeting.

He Liu thought to himself, could it be that something big happened in the court?

Early the next morning, Bai Xiaoyan helped He Liu put on his court clothes.He left the house, went straight to the palace, and arrived at Donghua Gate, waiting to enter the court.

The officials waiting outside the Donghua Gate talked a lot: "I heard that Concubine Li Guifei ordered people to kill three imperial physicians in the imperial hospital yesterday!"

"Oh, the emperor's illness. Forget it, let's not discuss it in vain."

"The emperor's holy age is only 36! Alas! Those monks in the respect room should be damned!"

He Liu heard the clue from the long and short sighs of the officials: Your Majesty, it might be impossible!

Feng Bao came to Donghua Gate: "Masters, let's enter the court."

He Liu followed the officials to Chengtian Hall.

Not long after, Emperor Longqing was carried into the Chengtian Hall by eight young eunuchs on an imperial chariot!
How majestic the Chengtian Palace is, unless the emperor is dying of illness, the imperial chariot is not allowed to enter the palace!

Putting down the imperial chariot, several young eunuchs helped Emperor Longqing onto Feng Bao's back.Feng Bao carried Emperor Longqing onto the dragon chair.

Emperor Longqing gasped weakly on the dragon chair for a long time.His face was pale and his eyes were dull.It was early summer, and he actually shivered.

The supervisor of rites took charge of Meng Chong, and quickly ordered people to close all the windows of Chengtian Hall.

Seeing this, all the courtiers wept bitterly.

Emperor Longqing exhausted all his strength and shouted: "Why are you crying! Go to court! Where is the high arch?"

Gao Gong came out of the class and said, "The minister is here!"

Emperor Longqing asked: "Tell me, how does the current state treasury revenue compare with that in the first year of Longqing?"

Gao Gong said: "Report to the emperor, the emperor's treasury revenue has increased year by year in the past six years. Compared with the first year of Longqing, it has tripled!"

Emperor Longqing didn't speak any more after hearing the words, he was fascinated looking at the sky outside the gate of Chengtian Hall.Heart said: Father, the emperor has lived up to your expectations.

After a while, Emperor Longqing said again: "The cabinet has been short of staff for a long time. Gao Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, joined the cabinet as the cabinet's second assistant!"

Gao Gong's first assistant, Gao Yi's second assistant, and Zhang Juzheng's cabinet members.These are the three auxiliary ministers selected by Emperor Longqing for the crown prince Zhu Yijun.

Emperor Longqing asked again: "Is He Liu here?"

He Liu got out of class and knelt down: "The minister is here!"

Emperor Longqing asked, "How is your illness?"

He Liudao: "It's almost done."

Emperor Longqing stared at He Liu: "Oh, then you...cough, cough."

As soon as the word "Fu" was spoken, Emperor Longqing coughed violently.

Feng Bao, who was waiting on the sidelines, hurriedly used a white handkerchief to help Emperor Longqing catch the phlegm.Never thought that what Emperor Longqing coughed up was not phlegm, but blood!

Seeing this, Feng Bao frantically covered the blood on the white handkerchief to death.With tears in his eyes, he said: "The emperor has a decree, to retire without incident."

The officials dispersed, and Meng Chong and Feng Bao led a group of young eunuchs to carry Emperor Longqing back to Yongshou Palace.

In the evening two days later, the He residence.

He Liu is holding his grandson Xiao Hanjiao in his arms.

Feng Bao almost ran into the He residence at a gallop.He anxiously shouted: "Sixth brother! There is an imperial order! Please accept the order!"

He Liu handed over Xiao Hanjiao to his wife Bai Xiaoyan, and knelt down in front of Feng Bao.

Feng Bao took out a Huang Zhezi imperial decree: "There is a decree, ordering He Liu to be reinstated as the governor of Beizhen! Take the post of governor of Beizhen to temporarily manage Jinyiwei's southern and northern divisions! Jinyiwei obeys He Liu from the left governor down. Dispatch! Also order He Liu to take over the defense of the capital and guard the palace! The governors of the five armies, the three officials of the Ministry of War, and the commanders of the three major battalions of the capital all obey He Liu's dispatch!"

He Liu kowtowed and said, "Minister, thank you for accepting the decree!"

He Liu stood up and said with some hesitation: "It is reasonable for Jinyiwei to take over the defense of the palace. It seems that there is no such precedent in the imperial court for Jinyiwei to take over the defense of the capital. I am afraid that the generals of the five armies will be dissatisfied."

Feng Bao stomped his feet anxiously: "My sixth brother, it's an extraordinary time, an extraordinary event, and an extraordinary person! You are an extraordinary person! Whoever refuses to accept you, you will kill him! Come on, present it!"

Several young eunuchs walked up to He Liu holding a long red lacquered tray covered with a yellow cloth.

Feng Bao tore off the yellow cloth, and on the long red lacquered tray was the Tianzi Sword used by Emperor Longqing!

Feng Baodao: "Sixth Brother, Concubine Li Gui asked me to hand over this sword of the Son of Heaven to you! The commanders of the five armies, the three officers of the Ministry of War, and the commanders-in-chief of the three major battalions, if anyone does not obey the order of the Sixth Brother, the Sixth Brother can carry it out." The Son of Heaven Sword slashes first and then strikes!"

He Liu lowered his voice and asked, "Is the imperial decree for me to take over the defense of the capital from the emperor, or from Concubine Li Gui?"

Feng Bao finally told the truth: "The emperor can't do it anymore! The sky will fall and the earth will fall apart, maybe tonight. This imperial edict was drafted by Concubine Li Gui."

He Liu knew that the moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived!

After Feng Bao left, He Liu hung the Emperor Sword on his waist.The Son of Heaven sword cannot be unsheathed easily.There will be blood when you come out of the sheath!There will be rivers of blood!

Afterwards, He Liu came to the altar in the hall and took down the Xiuchun knife enshrined.

He Liu pulled out the Xiuchun knife, glanced at the blade, the cold light was dazzling!
How can a precious sword be hidden in its sheath for a long time when it is not old?

Accompanied by the Tianzi sword at the waist, holding the Xiuchun knife.He Liu strode out of the house!
