Chapter 1 The King of Assassins Kills the King
“It’s gone, it’s gone! Put out the fire quickly! Catch the assassin, catch the assassin, the one in black robe is the assassin!”
Noise outside the palace , woke up the groggy Zhu Yijun. He opened his eyes blankly and saw a large bed with a three-sided screen bedside. The sandalwood was black and purple, looking simple and deep, exuding an elegant luster. Under the candlelight, Several five-clawed golden dragons can be distinguished.
"Hiss, it hurts." Zhu Yijun rubbed his forehead, as if he had hit it. He stopped rubbing his forehead and looked at his young hands blankly, a little unbelievable. This was completely A pair of child's hands.
I drank a lot of wine yesterday, could it have the effect of rejuvenating me?
He stood up slowly and looked around. Above his head was a carved balustrade, and under his feet were gold bricks. Behind the five-clawed golden dragon screen was a long bookcase with two A crane-shaped palace lantern, under the flickering light, was filled with smoke, and the late-spring cold air blew past the tip of his nose with the scent of sandalwood.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my rescue is late, Your Majesty is not hurt!" A man with a clean face and no beard, wearing a bright red eunuch's uniform, hurried into the palace.
Hearing the noise, the eunuch rushed to Qianqing Palace as fast as he could. He was out of breath. In the cold spring weather, two dragons of air were sprayed from his nose.
When the eunuch was crossing the threshold, he seemed to be running too fast. He tripped over the threshold, fell down suddenly, rolled around on the ground, and knelt on the ground very smoothly. On the ground, while crawling forward, he said sadly: "Your Majesty, I deserve death! I came too late, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yijun said almost instinctively: "Is the companion here? ”
He frowned and took a deep breath of air.
His forehead began to ache again, his head felt a little swollen, and he felt dizzy in waves. Countless pictures filled his eyes and flashed rapidly.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" The eunuch who was kneeling on the ground hurried forward to help Zhu Yijun's swaying body.
Zhu Yijun reached out and shook off the eunuch's hand, slowly sat down on the armrest of the armchair, and said, "I'm fine, I just knocked a little."
The eunuch saw this. , trembled all over, hoisted his voice, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor quickly! Your Majesty has been injured by an assassin! Report to the Queen Mother quickly!"
"How is my son?" A noble lady walked in from outside the door and asked eagerly. Behind the noble lady were two rows of palace maids, standing quietly, holding palace lanterns in their hands, standing motionless, not daring to raise their heads.
The eunuch immediately knelt down again and said with a sad face: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager Cisheng, the imperial doctor has been appointed. When I ran over, I didn't see the thief."
" Queen Mother, these traitors are so arrogant!"
"How is my son?" The lady ignored the eunuch's greeting and hurriedly walked to Zhu Yijun, stretched out her hand tremblingly, and supported Shi. The child's hand slowly opened the wound.
Fortunately, there is only a tiny red mark.
The huge flow of information in Zhu Yijun's mind finally stopped feeding him. The picture in front of him stopped flickering. He understood the situation.
He traveled through time.
He traveled through time and became the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He was only ten years old. He traveled through time to the 19th day of the first lunar month of the Wanli Year.
The late Emperor Longqing led the imperial concubine last June, leaving behind three auxiliary ministers, Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, and Gao Yi. By this time, Gao Yi had died of illness, and Gao Gong was expelled from the cabinet. Two of the auxiliary ministers have gone, leaving only Zhang Juzheng.
The eunuch in front of him, who has thin lips, a high and segmented nose, a narrow hall, and a slightly sinister appearance, is the young emperor's first companion, the ancestor of the palace, the eunuch Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of rituals. .
The lady with a concerned face is the biological mother of the young emperor, the empress dowager Li Shi.
At this time, Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao and Queen Mother Li had formed an unbreakable political alliance and took charge of the world's government affairs.
The little emperor, who was only ten years old, was walking on thin ice. He was in charge of the young country and was unable to personally govern. The affairs of the court had nothing to do with him as an emperor.
His situation was extremely difficult, and Empress Dowager Li was extremely strict. Going to bed late and getting up late would lead to reprimands. If he misbehaved a little, Empress Dowager Li asked Zhang Juzheng to give him the most admonishment and write down his sins. For the imperial letter, the young emperor was asked to kneel before the deceased emperor's spiritual throne and recite it several times before giving up.
The Sin Ji Edict was not written by the emperor, so it is considered unusual.
The eunuchs in the palace also used the majesty of Queen Mother Li to control the young emperor excessively.
At this time, Zhu Yijun held his head and looked at Feng Bao, who was extremely submissive. His eyes narrowed slightly. He was a dog slave who was arrogant in front and respectful in back.
Feng Bao should not be a eunuch, he should be a movie king.
In front of Empress Dowager Li, this guy was respectful and flattering, but in the little emperor's memory, he was filled with disgust and fear for Feng Bao, his companion.
The person who was talking about excessive control and control was Feng Daban. He used Queen Mother Li to scare the little emperor all day long, and made false accusations at every turn, portraying the little emperor as a naughty brat, which made Queen Mother Li very worried.
It is the hope of every mother in the world to have a successful child, and Empress Dowager Li is no exception. Especially after Emperor Longqing passed away, the vast world was left in the hands of a ten-year-old child, and Empress Dowager Li was the first person educated by the little emperor. As for the person in charge, Empress Dowager Li is stricter, which Zhu Yijun can understand.
Then this Feng Daban, the fox pretends to be the tiger's power, just restrains the little emperor, what does it mean to set a trap for the little emperor?
Once Feng Daban sent a palace maid to touch the little emperor's bed in the middle of the night. When the little emperor woke up the next day, he noticed something was wrong. As expected, Queen Mother Li, who lived with him in Qianqing Palace, knew immediately For this matter, the palace maid was scolded, and the little emperor was pulled to the late emperor's spiritual throne. The queen mother knelt on the ground and cried, and the little emperor also knelt on the ground and cried.
In just ten years of memory, this kind of thing happened at least three times.
Why did Feng Bao bully and set a trap for a ten-year-old child?
In fact, it's very simple. The little emperor was pinched by him, and Queen Mother Li could be deceived by him. Who in the palace would dare to disobey Feng Daban? Zhu Yijun could even understand the motivation of this dog slave.
The little emperor Wanli could bear it, but Zhu Yijun decided not to.
Empress Dowager Li has been walking around anxiously, her steps slightly hurried. Such a big event happened in the palace, and she was a little panicked for a while. The most important thing is that her son escaped this time , can you escape next time?
There are also high walls and deep courtyards in the palace, and Tiqi guards are everywhere. How did the thief break into the Qianqing Palace, and even surprised the holy driver!
All these things made Queen Mother Li a little at a loss. She was only a twenty-seven-year-old woman, not even 30 years old.
My husband left early, leaving such an old Ming Dynasty to his ten-year-old son. Emperor Longqing has been in the guest room for six months. During this time, Queen Mother Li has tried her best to protect mother and son. The three of them were safe, but something like this still happened.
Where should we go in the future?
The fire outside the palace has been completely extinguished, and the imperial doctor has also been invited to the palace to take pulse.
As soon as the imperial doctor stopped, Empress Dowager Li stepped forward impatiently and asked: "Mr. Chen, how is my son?"
The imperial doctor hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty's pulse pulse is four to five times in one breath. It is neither floating nor sinking, nor fast nor slow. It is not strong or weak, nor large nor small. The rhythm is regular, calm and gentle. It is not serious. I hit my forehead a little, no... He will recover within a few days.”
The imperial physician hesitated for a moment, but finally stopped talking. His pulse was indeed stable. Your Majesty is in good health, and the injury on his forehead will be healed later.
But the problem is that a ten-year-old child suddenly encountered such a drastic change. In the heavily guarded palace, assassins broke into the emperor's palace and assassinated him. As the little emperor who was assassinated, the pulse condition was so stable, which was the biggest problem.
But can the imperial physician say this? Of course not.
He is just an imperial doctor, and the decoctions and medicines provided by the imperial hospital cannot even guarantee the emperor's health.
"Thank you, the imperial doctor." Empress Dowager Li motioned to the palace maid to take out a piece of silver to reward the imperial doctor. Looking at the redness and swelling on her child's forehead, she felt sad and pulled Zhu Yijun to her side, with a hint of crying in her tone. , whispered: "My poor son, let me see the wound."
Zhu Yijun was held in the arms of the Queen Mother, and whispered: "Mother, the child was sleeping soundly, and suddenly he smelled There was a foul smell, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a strong man in black robe standing in front of the bed, holding a dagger and stabbing the child."
"The child suddenly struck. He jumped to dodge, knocked over the tables and chairs, and then hit his head. The maids and the little yellow gatekeepers outside the palace heard the noise and rushed in. Before the child fainted, he only saw the assassin climbing out of the window and escaping. , when I woke up, Feng Daban was here.”
“Mother, don’t blame the child.”
Empress Dowager Li was immersed in sadness and stopped sobbing when she heard Zhu Yijun say this. , asked in confusion: "Where do you start talking about this? Why do you want me to blame my son?"
Zhu Yijun looked at the tables and chairs that had been knocked to the ground with sadness and no one had cleaned them up, and then he said with a hint of horror: "My child, you knocked over the tables and chairs in the palace. Please, mother, don't blame the child for your misconduct."
You will be punished if you knock over tables and chairs. This is no joke.
Empress Dowager Li was extremely strict with the little emperor's words and deeds. No matter what he did, he had to meet the standards of an emperor. Even when he walked, he couldn't let himself have those jade hooks, jade pendants, jade hengs, etc. The collision of these bits and pieces of Chongya requires stepping on all sides and making a grand gesture.
This kind of unsightly behavior is usually regarded as a lack of etiquette.
Zhu Yijun is using his greatest advantage, he is only ten years old, he can pretend to be pitiful.
Who is not an actor yet?
"My son!" Queen Mother Li was even more sad when she heard this. Tears burst into her eyes, and she hugged Zhu Yijun very hard. Tears dripped down her cheeks and fell on the little emperor.
Empress Dowager Li's crying gradually subsided, except for an occasional twitch. She was so sad that she couldn't cry. She just kept sobbing, crying muffledly, and finally broke down in tears.
The late emperor died early, leaving behind orphans and widows. The high-ranking official in the cabinet talked about how the ten-year-old prince should rule the world. He seemed to want to support the vassal king. They stood in the middle of the mountain and criticized each other. They fought to the death. , and now the child was killed by the assassin under the eyes of her, the Queen Mother!
This biological mother, Empress Dowager Cisheng of the Ming Dynasty, lived in the Qianqing Palace to take care of her children because the emperor was young, and she was actually broken into the Qianqing Palace by assassins.
These ministers are deeply favored by the country and never think of repaying their lord with loyalty. They only know how to serve powerful officials and despise their lord. Now, they are even handed knives!
Empress Dowager Li held Zhu Yijun's head and said forcefully: "My son is not afraid, not afraid. I promise you that this kind of thing will never happen again! If it happens again, I will fight with them for my mother. !"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
The atmosphere has reached this point. The actor Zhu Yijun squeezed a few tears and said with relief: "My child is the son of tomorrow, and I don't need to be afraid. Mother, go and fight. When the child grows up, the child will fight with them. Mother, stop crying. If mother cries, the child will cry too."
"My son," Queen Mother Li heard. More sad.
"Feng Daban, where was Daban when I was assassinated?" Zhu Yijun suddenly asked when Empress Dowager Li was immersed in grief.
Empress Dowager Li suddenly raised her head, her eyes were red, staring straight at Feng Bao, and said sternly: "Feng Dajun! Where were you when the emperor was attacked!"
簰, Refers to the gold decoration on the eunuch's hat, which means the great eunuch.
An unbreakable and impenetrable political alliance?
Judging from Zhu Yijun’s two lifetime experiences, this is a fallacy.
The words political alliance and unbreakable should not be put together in themselves.
