Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

That's where history goes... forked!

In the original history, this big explosion did not cause any damage to Emperor Tianqi!

And looking at this battle, the problem that Emperor Tianqi had this time is definitely not small, and it is very likely that he has already fallen into a coma.

Otherwise, with the turmoil caused by this big bang, Emperor Tianqi would definitely appear immediately to calm people's hearts.

Instead of not showing up like this all the time, making people panic!

A series of speculations circled in my mind, but in the end, they all fell silent.

Looking at the vague frame outside the Chengtian Gate, Li Xiu knew that what he could think of, all the officials in the court would definitely be able to think of it, and even they would think more!

After all, although Wei Zhongxian is powerful, his reputation is really not flattering. The eunuchs are in full swing in the court, but the dislike of eunuchs among the scholar-bureaucrats in Ming Dynasty is rooted in the bone marrow...

"almost!"

Standing on the tower, Li Xiu raised his head and glanced at the dark to deep night sky. His eyes moved, but they were once again fixed on the square outside Chengtian Gate.

There is no doubt that after this night, if there is still no reaction in the palace, the civil and military officials of the dynasty will never let the situation continue to evolve...

This night, for the vast majority of people in the capital, every minute and every second is extremely long.

This is especially true for Wei Zhongxian!

Everyone in the world knows that he is [-] years old and powerful, but anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that his power is all tied to the Son of Heaven.

The emperor trusts, so naturally everything is fine.

But once the emperor loses the trust of the emperor, or if the emperor is ill like now, this seemingly monstrous power will instantly be like rootless duckweed, like the moon in the mirror, and it will disappear at a touch!

It is no exaggeration to say that no one cares more about the safety of the emperor than Wei Zhongxian!

The entire Qianqing Palace has long been under horrific security on the inner three floors and the outer three floors, and the people who were present when the emperor was unconscious have already been guarded.

The imperial physicians were already kneeling all over the floor. Of course, not only the imperial physicians, but all the famous doctors in Dongchang and Jinyiwei had already entered the palace through various secret channels. God sees a doctor.

Wei Zhongxian even stayed with Emperor Tianqi's bed from the beginning to the end, and almost never left half a step.

The diagnosis plan has already been drawn up, and the medicinal soup has already been taken by Emperor Tianqi. Everyone is waiting anxiously, waiting for Emperor Tianqi to wake up.

Time passed bit by bit, until the dawn broke and the sun rose, and Emperor Tianqi on the bed still showed no sign of waking up.

The night passed and the day came, but the Son of Heaven still did not show his face. Such an anomaly made the already turbulent undercurrent finally reach the point where it could not be suppressed.

The cabinet bachelors, the six ministers, and all the top dignitaries gathered outside the Chengtian Gate to pay homage to the emperor.

The movement of the top bosses in the court also awakened all the civil and military officials in the capital who were still busy with the big explosion. Something is wrong.

A guess that was far more terrifying than the big bang also detonated the entire court in the capital in an instant.

However, within a few hours, under the development of the situation, outside the Chengtian Gate, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered!

Under such a battle, even though Wei Zhongxian had already made careful arrangements, it would not have the slightest effect.

Even though he can control the entire capital on the surface, all of this is based on the emperor. Once this foothold is not stable, his so-called comprehensive control of the capital is just a joke.

Now all civil and military officials gather outside Chengtianmen, wanting to see the emperor.

Reasonable, legal and compliant!

No one can say anything wrong, and there is no right or reason to prevent the slightest...

Therefore, the situation suddenly fell into a stalemate.

Martial law was imposed in the capital and the palace, but in the entire capital, there were not many people who had the intention to deal with the big explosion. The attention of everyone was focused on the palace...

"Your Majesty won't really have an accident..."

"Didn't you hear what the Hanlin scholar said just now, nine thousand years old murdered His Majesty, and wanted to usurp power!"

"Impossible...Let's talk nonsense, didn't you see that these high officials didn't speak..."

"But it's been so long since so many senior officials have asked to see you, why haven't you seen His Majesty summon you?"

"You said that if it's really what these officials and lords said, what should we do?"

"What to do, listen to Qianhu, Mr. Qianhu is so powerful, he must have an idea..."

At this moment, not to mention the turbulent undercurrent among the civil and military officials, above the city tower, a battalion of brave guards led by Li Xiu couldn't help talking about it.

The predecessor of the Yongwei Battalion was originally the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and the soldiers were well-informed. This is the first time they have encountered this situation. Under human nature, it is impossible for the soldiers not to think about it.

Chapter 85 The Messenger King's Audience

"quiet!"

Under such circumstances, Li Xiu naturally would not allow the soldiers to discuss in secret, and with a disturbed army's morale, he shouted sharply, and the discussion on the city wall was immediately swept away.

The soldiers stood upright, not daring to squint!

At this moment, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. The inadvertent bifurcation of history also completely disrupted all his thoughts.

A mere thousand households, in the face of this bifurcation of history, he does not have the slightest ability to control the situation, and can only passively accept it all!

Time passed bit by bit, although there was no confrontation of war, as more and more civil and military officials gathered in front of Chengtianmen, the atmosphere became more and more dignified.

From the first sunrise of the morning sun to the third pole of the sun, and then to the sunset in the west, the gate of Chengtianmen has always been tightly closed without any change.

There are two worlds separated by a door.

Outside the city gate, the sky is boiling against the sky, and inside the city gate, it is oppressive.

The only fortunate thing is that everything is still within the rules, whether it is the civil and military officials gathered outside the Chengtian Gate, or Wei Zhongxian and others in the palace, they are all still within the rules and within the rules of etiquette.

But everyone knows that this stalemate cannot last for too long, and even the more stalemate, the more likely there will be major problems that violate the rules and regulations.

Wei Zhongxian is naturally aware of this.

When another night passed, Emperor Tianqi still showed no signs of waking up. For Wei Zhongxian, he no longer had the energy to blame the group of imperial doctors.

"Pass down the order to open the Chengtian Gate and let all the officials enter the palace!"

An exhausted voice sounded in the silent Qianqing Palace, Wei Zhongxian looked at Emperor Tianqi who was still unconscious on the bed, his eyes glazed over.

"Nine thousand years old, news of His Majesty's coma?"

A eunuch couldn't help asking.

"Can you hold it back?"

Wei Zhongxian glanced at the eunuch, and suddenly made people speechless with a simple sentence.

Without the big explosion at Wang Gong Factory, everything would be easy to talk about.

But now, the outside world is in chaos, how could they not know the situation outside Chengtianmen.

But at this point, it is obviously futile to suppress the news of control, prevent all civil and military officials from entering the palace, and do things like deception.

No one is a fool, and he, Wei Zhongxian, will not be so confident that everyone will listen to him if he gives an order.

Even when the emperor was intact, he couldn't do this, let alone when the emperor was unconscious.

A little carelessness will cause a big turmoil, and he, Wei Zhongxian, will undoubtedly bear the brunt of it!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Soon, along with the hasty and chaotic footsteps, one after another mournful shouts also completely broke the silence of Qianqing Palace.

The fact that Tian Qi was seriously ill and comatose, at this moment, was completely revealed in front of all the civil and military officials in the capital.

Kneeling down outside Qianqing Palace, before Tianqi's bed, also kneeling down.

"Thieves, dare to murder His Majesty! You will die!"

Some Hanlin officials shouted angrily, and for a while, many officials glared at Wei Zhongxian who was kneeling beside the bed.

Wei Zhongxian didn't explain either, but knelt down on the ground silently.

"Eunuch Wei, what happened, Your Majesty..."

Similarly, some officials asked politely.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian raised his head slowly, and explained the matter in a few words.

Hearing this, the Qianqing Palace immediately fell silent again. After a while, the cabinet ministers and the leading princes looked at each other one after another, and then stood up silently. Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian also got up, and several people gathered together, They discussed in a low voice.

In fact, in the past when Emperor Tianqi was still alive, most of the affairs of the court were resolved in the same way. Now that Emperor Qi is unconscious, excluding the influence of the ritual system, in fact, the other influences on the court are not too great. big.

In normal times, such decisions would have been made by Wei Zhongxian aloofly and arrogantly instigated, but now, with the coma of Emperor Tianqi, the status seems to have undergone an extremely subtle change.

Wei Zhongxian was obviously also aware of this change, and he changed from his previous domineering orders, and he was obviously silent a lot.

Time passed bit by bit, and I don't know how long it took, but Emperor Tianqi, who was motionless on the sickbed, suddenly groaned in pain.

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is awake!"

"An imperial physician! An imperial physician!"

The Qianqing Palace, which was originally quiet, turned into a mess in an instant. Wei Zhongxian and his party, who had been discussing together, immediately greeted them.

"Doctor, how are you doing?"

After the diagnosis and treatment, Wei Zhongxian immediately asked impatiently, and the eager eyes of all civil and military officials also focused on the imperial physician who was making the diagnosis and treatment.

The imperial physician's complexion was heavy, his brows were furrowed, but he seemed hesitant to speak.

"Tell... the King of Letters to see you!"

While the imperial physician was hesitating and struggling, Emperor Tianqi's trembling voice suddenly sounded.

As soon as these words came out, the Qianqing Palace, which was originally messy, was instantly quiet, and all eyes were immediately fixed on the pale-faced Emperor Tianqi.

As if thinking of something crazy, at this time Emperor Tianqi turned his head and saw all the civil and military officials kneeling in the palace, his face flushed suddenly, and he shouted impatiently:

"Let King Xin come over! Quick, let King Xin see you!"

Shouting a few times in a hurry, a mouthful of blood spewed out, Emperor Tianqi immediately collapsed on the bed again, his flushed cheeks returned to pale as paper, looking at his appearance, he seemed to have fallen into a coma again.

"His Royal Highness the King of Letters will see you! Hurry up!"

At this moment, without waiting for Wei Zhongxian to speak out, shouts from the officials below immediately rang out.

At this time, this order, and the appearance of Emperor Tianqi, everyone couldn't help feeling a bad premonition...

But at this time, Zhu Youjian has been frightened for a long time.

The sudden explosion and the sudden martial law in the palace, he didn't even get a little word of it beforehand, and his residence was guarded by all kinds of bright and dark surveillance.

Although it has not been explicitly stated, the meaning of foot restraint is already extremely obvious.

Although it is not clear what happened, but there is no trivial matter in the palace, and the taboos of the Tian family, Zhu Youjian is naturally very clear.

Therefore, after realizing the abnormality, Zhu Youjian stayed in the palace obediently, not daring to make any rash moves.

"Your Majesty has a decree, send a letter to His Royal Highness to see you!"

It wasn't until this shout sounded outside the hall that Zhu Youjian, who had been a little dizzy from sleepless nights, suddenly woke up.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has a decree, let Your Highness have an audience with you as soon as possible!"

"Dare to ask the prince, but what happened?"

On weekdays, Wang Tiqian would naturally be too lazy to talk to the Xinwang, but having just witnessed the scene in Qianqing Palace and knowing the injury of Emperor Tianqi, Wang Tiqian naturally did not dare to neglect the Xinwang in the slightest.

After organizing the language a little bit, he told the whole story of what happened.

Chapter 86 The Emperor Dies

"Return to Your Highness, Your Majesty..."

When Wang Tigan explained the current situation clearly with a few words, Zhu Youjian also staggered and almost fell to the ground.

He had guessed a lot, but he never expected that the imperial brother who had called him to kindly tell him about entrustment just a few days ago was suddenly dying!

In an instant, Zhu Youjian's mind was almost blank, but at this moment, he couldn't help but recover slowly, and he didn't care about the rules of etiquette. Wang Tigan waved, and several eunuchs carried Zhu Youjian onto the sedan chair. Then he quickly went to Qianqing Palace.

When Zhu Youjian rushed to Qianqing Palace, seeing the scene of Qianqing Palace with his own eyes, the last touch of luck in his heart completely dissipated.

Emperor Tianqi was still in a coma, but when he heard Zhu Youjian's cries, his unconscious consciousness seemed to feel something, moved a little, and his closed eyes slowly opened again. opened, and at the first moment, it was fixed on Zhu Youjian who was crying bitterly before he knelt down on the bed.

"Brother Huang! Brother Huang!"

Seeing Emperor Tianqi awakened, Zhu Youjian scrambled forward, in constant pain.

"My brother..."
