Although the newly built Wumen Square is simply furnished, it has a magnificent and solemn and majestic taste, but the Empress Dowager Zeng is not in the mood to take a closer look, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, return to the palace quickly!" Suddenly, he was worried that the eunuchs would make his son bumpy under the trot, so he immediately changed his words, "No, it's better to walk steadily......

After the Taihe Gate, she understood why she abandoned the horse and rode the sedan chair - outside the Taihe Gate is the majestic palace, and further north, there is still a large construction site, with materials and rubble piled all over the ground, and many craftsmen are repairing the temple, which is difficult for cars and horses to pass.

It wasn't until I entered the Longfu Gate on the northwest side of the Forbidden City that the surroundings were reorganized again, and I had the feeling of a royal palace. A eunuch on the side said: "Empress Dowager Qi, now that the six palaces in the west have been repaired, where do you think it is appropriate to live?" ”

Empress Dowager Zeng pointed to the nearest Yongshou Palace, "Let's do it here." By the way, have all the doctors arrived? ”

"Back to the Empress Dowager," Pang Tianshou said busily, "the Song Yuan asked them to follow the Holy Driver, and the imperial physician from Nanjing was already waiting outside the Kunning Gate. ”

Empress Dowager Zeng entered the gate of Yongshou Palace under the guidance of the eunuchs, passed through the crowd of eunuchs and palace maids, went straight into the bedroom, and carefully put Zhu Linyuan on the bed.

Subsequently, dozens of imperial physicians huddled together in the room, taking turns to check the pulse of the little emperor, or discuss in a low voice how to use medicine.

After a while, the courtiers who heard the news also came one after another, but they were not summoned and could not enter the harem, and only gathered in groups of three or five outside the Longfu Gate. From time to time, someone stepped forward to ask the eunuch at the door about the situation inside.

"Lord Huang means to go to the ...... today" An official with a wide mouth and raised eyebrows looked at Huang Jingfang in surprise, but he was surprised that his voice was a little louder, and he hurriedly glanced around, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his voice and continued, "The lower official just heard the news from the palace, and the emperor just barely opened his eyes, and he couldn't wake up." The Queen Mother has just arrived in Nanjing, she has not seen any expression, and the attitude of all parties is not very clear, if it is to be launched at this time, will it be too hasty? ”

Huang Jingfang, the servant of the ministry, smiled slightly, and also said in a low voice: "Lord Meng's words are wrong, I saw the Queen Mother's clear instructions, so I decided to strike while the iron was hot." ”

"The Queen Mother has made it clear? Why didn't the lower officials hear about it? ”

"Lord Meng, the holy car went outside the city of Nanjing, and before he saw the ministers, the queen mother ordered him to go to Xiaoling to pay respects, what do you think this means?"

Meng Zhengfa was stunned, "Lord Huang means ......"

"The first sacrifice to the tomb of filial piety is the priority of the Son of Heaven." Huang Shilang said, "The Queen Mother is just going to declare the world, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, even if others are powerful, they must not sacrifice filial piety, beyond the responsibility of the emperor!" ”

It is said that he is also calculating the position of power all day long, so that it is easy to think too much, but he doesn't know that the Empress Dowager Zeng is simple-minded, but he thinks of the first emperor, in order to complete his unfulfilled wish as soon as possible, so he is in a hurry to go to the filial piety tomb to worship, where is there any deep meaning.

Meng Zhengfa thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Lord Huang is right. In this way, the Queen Mother is also scruples about the power of the auxiliary king......"

"Yes!" Huang Jingfang pointed to the north, "The puppet emperor of Dongyu is more than ten years old, and his queen mother, Borzigit, did not hesitate to bribe himself in order to envelop Dolgon. Our Empress Dowager can't plot to break the temple, we can't go to the horse to level Xinjiang, and we have no means to hold the auxiliary king hostage. You say, can she not be worried?

"The saint has not woken up before, and the queen mother's thoughts are mostly on the condition of the Son of Heaven. Now that the Holy God is good, how can she not think about her son's authority?

"At this time, when she has no power and no soldiers and horses, we will send charcoal in the snow, and the people of Fujian and Chu will definitely be relied on as the pillars of the imperial court!"

Meng Zhengfa immediately nodded happily, "There is a Tianxing Mansion and Lord Dutang joining forces, why worry about not being able to bring down the auxiliary ......" He subconsciously swallowed the last two words, and looked around carefully, "In the future, the Queen Mother will hang the curtain, and Fujian and Chu will be in charge of the situation!" ”

It turned out that because of the relocation of the capital a few years ago, a large number of Fujian officials were "idle" in Fujing, and they were very resentful, so they gathered the party to seek work and supported Huang Jingfang as the party leader.

And Meng Zhengfa's ancestral home is Hubei, and He Tengjiao is an old acquaintance, which is the internal response of the Huguang Domain's forces in the court.

Recently, Zhu Linjiao mobilized several people to be stationed around Huguang, and recruited the loyal camp for his own use, although it was still hidden, He Tengjiao could already vaguely smell the smell of some mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building. So he also urgently ordered Montessori to find a way in Yingtianfu.

The Huang and Meng hit it off, and the goal is also very clear - it is best to bring down the auxiliary king, and at the worst, to create a force that can compete with Zhu Linmiao, and "shelter the wind and rain" for the two forces of Huguang and Fujing.

And at present, the only one who can compete with the auxiliary king is the Empress Dowager Zeng, who is the biological mother of the Son of Heaven.

Meng Zhengfa thought for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Lord Huang, you said a few days ago that you could persuade those old guys in the cabinet to support us, I don't know how things are going?" If the cabinet is on the side of the auxiliary king, I am afraid that the queen mother will ......"

"Don't worry, Yan Qiheng has already assured me that if the court wants to restrict the authority of the auxiliary king, the people of the Zhu Pavilion Department will not object." Huang Jingfang said proudly, "And Huang Ge Lao and Lu Ge are Fujian themselves, and there are many people on my side who can talk to them." Although they did not make it clear, judging from their attitudes, at least they would not support Zhu Linmiao. ”

Meng Zhengfa was pleasantly surprised: "Lord Huang is really good, and he really said that he moved these old guys!" ”

"Previously, Zhu Linmiao wantonly encircled the imperial village, which offended most of the courtiers. I only told a few old guys that I wanted to cut Zhu Linmi's authority, and most of them were in line with their thoughts. It's just that when the time comes, we asked the Queen Mother to listen to the government in the court, but it is difficult for them to raise objections. ”

Huang Jingfang smiled slightly, "Do you know that Zhu Linmiao took advantage of the Huangzhuang fraud case to dismiss hundreds of people, but he wantonly used his henchmen. What Xu Erlu, Song Yingxing and others have made the court dissatisfied, this time he actually put Yao Qisheng, Ma Lin, Li Tianchun and other guys who don't even have a background into the court as officials, even Huang Ge Lao and others have a lot of complaints.

"This auxiliary king has made enemies in many ways, and he is to blame, but he has helped us a lot."

"Haha, exactly, exactly!"

As the two were talking, they saw Pang Tianshou come out of the Yongshou Palace, stood at the door and said in an official tone: "The queen mother said, she knows the intentions of all the adults, the emperor has taken the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and he has fallen asleep at this time, please go back, so as not to disturb the emperor's rest." ”

When Huang Daozhou heard what the eunuch said, he beckoned all the ministers to return to their homes first, and then come back another day for an official audience. When he walked past Meng Zhengfa, he saw that the latter saluted him respectfully but did not leave, only nodded slightly, and walked away with his head held high.
