Zishi.
Yongxing Ward.
A black shadow disappeared through the night, jumped over the wall and entered the back house of Tang Mansion.
The study is brightly lit.
Tang Mingyuan looked through the documents submitted from various places, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning. When he encountered any objections, he picked up a pen and wrote directly on them.
"Jiejiejie..."
A burst of strange laughter came. "Master Tang, how dare you take the memorial home for approval. Such an act of arrogance will be taken down by our family on the spot, let alone punish the Yi tribe!"
"I live in the Prince's Mansion and have exceeded the limit. Your Majesty can find a reason to break into Heavenly Prison at any time."
Tang Mingyuan seemed to have expected Zhou Yi to come to the door, and he was still reading the memorial when he spoke.
There are so many affairs in the Thirty-Six Prefectures in the North and South of Daqing. Even if you focus on the key points, it is still a huge workload. Tang Mingyuan has to stay up until midnight every day.
Zhou Yi emerged from the darkness, carefully looked at Tang Mingyuan illuminated by the lights, and said in surprise.
"Master Tang is already old. Could he be practicing Ephemeral Bloom Manual secretly?"
Tang Mingyuan lifted his temples and pulled out a few white hairs. "Thinking too much will cause gray hairs. Excessive worry will harm your health. Some gray hairs are also normal."
Zhou Yi said with a smile, "You know that you are transgressing, but you are still willing to be sad. Your Majesty is really sorry for Mr. Tang's hard work, and he deserves to die."
Tang Mingyuan closed the memorial and looked up in the direction of the palace.
"Listen to what the Governor has to say, the matter has been decided?"
"Almost."
Zhou Yi explained, "The Essence Nourishing Soup that your Majesty drank today contained several large ejaculation substances. Among the beauties sent to the palace, there are several demon sect witches who are good at collecting tonics."
Tang Mingyuan said in surprise, "Eunuch Jing and the chamberlain who tested the medicine are both members of the Governor?"
"Our family is not that capable."
Zhou Yi said, "Our family once saved Eunuch Jing's life, and arranged for his family to be officials in Eastern Depot. Those servants who tested the medicine were arranged by Eunuch Yuan."
Tang Mingyuan was surprised. "So, are we joining forces to kill the king again?"
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Zhou Yi said with a strange smile, "Master Tang once asked about our family's dream, and I will tell you now, that is to control the change of imperial power as a servant!"
"The Governor's thoughts are truly shocking..."
Tang Mingyuan said, "I have no intention of manipulating the imperial power, but it is not impossible to change the emperor and make the people live a better life!"
"That's a really good-sounding excuse."
Zhou Yi clicked his tongue and said, "Regicide in our family is regicide, and rebellion is rebellion. However, scholars who know how to erect memorial arches will always be righteous!"
Tang Mingyuan didn't care about the Du Gong's ridicule and said, "Imperial Physician Liu took a pulse and concluded that Noble Consort Shu will give birth to a prince, but we must also prevent accidents. If she is born as a princess, who in the family can succeed?"
Zhou Yi did not reveal that Imperial Physician Liu was one of his own. Even if he joins forces with others, do not hand over all your cards, lest you succeed but lose completely.
"Master Tang is right to worry. A princess has indeed been born, and our family has been replaced by a prince."
"You..."
Tang Mingyuan stood up suddenly, pointed at Zhou Yi and scolded, "Are you trying to usurp the throne?"
"How can a person with no roots in our family usurp the throne?"
Zhou Yi said, "Our family asked Imperial Bodyguards to steal a newly delivered baby in Beijing. We watched Noble Consort Shu recognize his son before coming to discuss with Mr. Tang."
Tang Mingyuan asked, "Are you sure this baby has nothing to do with the Zhou family?"
Zhou Yi said, "Not only does it have nothing to do with the Zhou family, but it actually has a close relationship with Mr. Tang."
Tang Mingyuan thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Could it be that she is a descendant of the Lu Family? It is rumored that Mr. Lu's daughter-in-law is a master of martial arts. She escaped from the Eastern Depot dungeon and was seriously injured in pursuit of Imperial Bodyguards."
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Unless you are lax on purpose, Innate Grandmaster won't be able to escape from the dungeon. Those thunderbolts should be sent over by our family."
Tang Mingyuan said bitterly, "Lu Family is Family Extermination because of the thunderbolt!"
Zhou Yi said, "Death a few people, change the throne, Lu Family will make a lot of money."
Tang Mingyuan gritted his teeth and said, "The Governor is very scheming."
If it were any other baby, Tang Mingyuan would not agree. The new baby must be chosen from the clan, but Lu Family's descendants could not raise objections.
"This matter was not planned by our family."
Zhou Yi said quietly, "Our family didn't deliberately choose that woman, but she gave birth today, and Imperial Bodyguards went to Nancheng. Maybe there is Heaven's Will among the Unseen!"
"Heaven's Will..."
Tang Mingyuan Looked at the night sky, it was vast and endless.
"Heaven's Will is like a knife. The governor is not afraid of cutting it on his head and making all his plans go to waste?"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, feeling that there was something in his words, and replied domineeringly, "Don't worry about swords, guns, swords and halberds, we will take over together!"
The words have not yet finished.
One melodious bell rang through the night, followed by eight more.
Nine bells ring and the emperor dies.
Tang Mingyuan's expression changed, and before his eyes, he and Emperor Tianshun became friends, drank tea, cooked wine, and talked about poetry. Who could have imagined the current situation of life and death.
"Jiejiejie..."
Zhou Yi smiled proudly, the vow he made back then was finally confirmed today.
"Master Tang, before you enter the palace, it's time to decide on the future distribution of power with our family!"
Tianshun five years.
spring.
The emperor died at the Yi Chun Palace.
It is recorded in historical books that if you indulge in excessive sexual desires, you will die if your yang is exhausted, which is what the people call the wind on the horse.
royal palace.
Hall of Diligent Governance.
Emperor Tianshun's body was lying on the floor with a bruised face and bulging blood vessels.
Even though he had been dead for half an hour, his waist was still straight and straight, clearly telling the officials in the palace the cause of death.
The officials talked a lot, most of them with disdain on their faces.
Since the beginning of history, Emperor Tianshun has done many things that are unprecedented, and now even his death is so unique!
Noble Consort Shu hugged the prince and sat on the sofa, tears streaming down his face.
Whether it was grief or tears of joy was unknown. The fingers under the package twisted the baby hard, and it suddenly cried out in pain.
This is telling the officials that the late emperor has heirs.
Tang Mingyuan After a slight cough, the officials calmed down and stepped forward to speak.
"A country cannot live without a king for a day. Since your Majesty has an heir, he should inherit the throne according to the etiquette and laws of the country."
Noble Consort Shu stopped crying, looked at Tang Mingyuan carefully, and became very fond of this young man Chief Minister. No wonder the late emperor repeatedly praised his loyalty.
Most of the officials frowned and looked at the prince who had not even opened his eyelids for less than an hour.
Can this person preside over government affairs?
Xie Cifu seemed to have guessed the thoughts of the officials and suggested. "Crown Prince is still young. According to ancient rules, Empress Dowager should be assisted until he becomes an adult."
Noble Consort Shu heard this and almost jumped for joy.
The surprise came too suddenly. The late emperor was indeed a benevolent king, with so many loyal ministers under his command!
Minister Xu of the Ministry of Rites suggested. "Can I adopt the family from the clan? Just respect the late emperor as the father and Empress Dowager as the mother. It will be beneficial to the country."
In this era, the infant mortality rate was extremely high. Even for princes, 30% of them would not survive to adulthood.
Noble Consort Shu's eyes turned cold for a moment, and he remembered Minister Xu in his heart.
Thump thump thump!
There was a sound of heavy footsteps, mixed with the rattling of armor, and before anyone entered the palace, a murderous and murderous aura was already coming towards them.
Commander Xie, who was personally named by the late emperor, walked directly into Hall of Diligent Governance holding a sword in one hand and a human head in the other.
He waved his hand and threw the head to the ground, then rolled it to the jade steps.
Noble Consort Shu's body went limp, trembling with fear, and he almost threw the baby in his arms.
Commander Xie knelt down on the ground and kowtowed nine times to the baby.
"When I heard the sound of the bell, I was afraid that someone would cause trouble, so I led my troops to guard the palace gate. Prince Rui refused to listen to the dissuasion and intended to take advantage of the chaos to enter the palace. He was killed in front of the battle!"
