I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 1 The change of moving to the palace
The first year of Taichang, September.

"Your Highness Taisun, Fang Shoufu and his courtiers have come to the Qianqing Palace. I have something urgent to ask you to see me. The attendants cannot stop you and will let you pass."

"understood."

After Zhu Youxiao heard what he said, he stood up slowly and took a deep breath to calm down his mood. It had been more than a month since time travel and he had been waiting for this moment.

His father, Zhu Changluo, didn't like him. After time travel, he was afraid of exposing his flaws and was cautious. Thanks to the memory of Tianqi and the experience of later generations, he was able to make up for it a little.

He is familiar with the historical trend of later generations and knows that the Ming Dynasty is currently in a difficult situation. No one in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty would have imagined that it would be only more than 20 years before the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

But even though he had a plan in his mind after time traveling, he didn't make any moves in the past month. He has been following the trend of history. When this moment comes, what's wrong? Why not just smoothly become the emperor first?

After leaving the palace gate, I saw a eunuch with gray hair and a slightly stooped figure already waiting outside. He was the eunuch Wang An, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of etiquette.

When Wang An saw him coming out, he immediately knelt down and cried:
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, the dragon controls Bintian, but the country is currently undecided and cannot live without a king for a day. The courtiers have asked to see you outside the Qianqing Palace. They want to support your succession. I also ask your Highness to accompany the old slave to the main hall and accept the worship of all officials. "

Zhu Youxiao heard this and quickly helped Wang An up.Wang An had a good relationship with the courtiers, and was a wise man. In the historical palace transfer case, he also deceived Li Xuanshi to bring Zhu Youxiao out and ascended the throne, so Zhu Youxiao also trusted and praised him.

"My eldest companion, please get up. Since the matter has come to this, please ask your eldest companion to lead the way."

Wang An hurriedly said yes, and then gave the eunuchs around him a look, asking them to follow Zhu Youxiao and protect him.

After Guangzong Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne, Guangzong's favorite concubine Li Xuanshi also lived in Qianqing Palace. At this time, Li Xuanshi wanted to use Zhu Youxiao's self-respect to become the empress dowager. Now she is confronting the courtiers in the front hall, unwilling to give in easily.

Zhu Youxiao was escorted by Wang An out of the back hall and arrived at the main hall.In the center of the main room is a square platform. On the platform is a gold-lacquered dragon throne and a gold-lacquered dragon screen that symbolize imperial power. In front of the throne, there are objects such as lanterns, cranes, and incense sticks, showing the majesty of the emperor.

But there was no one on the throne, but a graceful and majestic harem woman stood beside her, and behind her stood a tall and thin eunuch.Zhu Youxiao naturally knew these two people. Of course they were Li Xuanshi and his personal eunuch Wei Chao.

The atmosphere in the main hall contains hidden motives and different thoughts. At this time, Li Xuanshi was confronting the courtiers in the audience.

Before his death, Emperor Guangzong Zhu Changluo asked several courtiers to take more care of Li Xuanshi. She had no one to raise but a daughter. She also intended to give the underage Zhu Youxiao to Li Xuanshi to take care of them so that they could rely on each other.

But the courtiers, as long as they have a brain, know that this will not work.Li Xuan's actions are domineering and domineering, which will inevitably intimidate and manipulate the future new emperor. This is absolutely unacceptable.

When Zhu Youxiao and his entourage hurried to the main hall, before they had time to pay homage, they were noticed by Li Xuanshi. As if she had seized a chance, she suddenly burst into tears and said to Zhu Youxiao in tears:

"Yu Xiao, come here quickly. Not long after the late emperor passed away, these ministers began to bully us orphans and widowed mothers."

As he spoke, he motioned to Wei Chao, the eunuch next to him, to bring Zhu Youxiao to him.

How could Zhu Youxiao not know Li Xuanshi's wishful thinking? He signaled Wang An to stop the Wei Dynasty and walked slowly between the courtiers and Li Xuanshi.He first bowed to the empty throne three times, then bowed to Li Xuanshi, and said:

"Don't be anxious when choosing an attendant. Wang Daban has just told me the matter in the back hall. This year, the emperor's grandfather and Emperor Daxing passed away one after another. Such a big change is unprecedented in this dynasty, so the ministers will inevitably be anxious. Please don't be anxious when choosing an attendant." Blame them, the courtiers are also thinking about the Ming Dynasty."

He turned to face the courtiers again, and saw more than twenty courtiers dressed in traditional attire, kneeling in front of him.

This scene suddenly made him a little nervous. After time travel, he has always been cautious and cautious. He was often manipulated and controlled by Li Xuanshi and rarely met people from the previous dynasty. Although he had seen this kind of scene, he was always a bystander, and this time and in the future he would But they are all the protagonists. They are the nine-five-year-old people who hold the entire country and the country in their hands and have all the power in the world.

Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said aloud:

"Everyone loves you so much. Today the country is in crisis, so I would like to ask you all to help me."

Before he finished speaking, a sonorous and powerful voice attracted Zhu Youxiao's attention. "Your Highness, the Daxing Emperor has passed away, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. The ministers heard that His Highness was held hostage in Qianqing Palace and were not allowed to go out, so they came specially to escort His Highness to the throne and determine the status of the country as soon as possible."

Zhu Youxiao looked at him after hearing this, and had the impression of this person in his mind. He was Yang Lian, who was praised by the late emperor as "this truly loyal king."

At this time, Yang Lian was still a small seventh-level minister. This person was deeply appreciated by Guangzong and was the designated summoner before his death. In other words, he was the minister of Gu Ming.It was also he who tried his best to persuade the ministers that they should immediately find the emperor's eldest son Zhu Youxiao and take him out of Qianqing Palace immediately to get rid of Li Xuanshi's control, so that great things can be accomplished.

He thought for a while and was about to reply when Li Xuanshi shouted first:

"Yang Lian, Emperor Daxing has just passed away, and his grandson is young. You are here in such a hurry to support him. Are you trying to gain credit for his support? I, under the order of Emperor Daxing, raised Youxiao. I am really responsible for this. Is the palace dead?"

Li Xuanshi eagerly understood that this Yang Lian would become her biggest stumbling block and completely ruin her painstaking plans, and she would definitely fight him to the end.

Yang Lian had long been dissatisfied with Li Xuanshi and immediately yelled:

"Emperor Daxing passed away. The eldest son of the emperor should have been elected to the throne. Could it be that there were still two minds in selecting the attendants? When we entered the palace just now, as soon as we arrived at the Qianqing Gate, there were eunuchs blocking the way and not allowed to enter, saying that they were serving the emperor. I am ordered to choose an attendant. I don’t know what the purpose of choosing an attendant is, whether it is because I want to do Empress Lu’s business.”

How could Li Xuanshi be able to speak against Yang Lian? What she originally relied on was Guangzong Zhu Changluo's love and Zhu Youxiao's cowardice in history.But now that Zhu Changluo is dead, her only hope is that Zhu Youxiao is still as cowardly and controlled by him as before.

She couldn't help but look at Zhu Youxiao and said:

"The late Emperor's body was still cold before Yang Lian and others framed me. Please don't listen to these people's slanders and come to me as soon as possible."

But how could Zhu Youxiao do what he wanted? In the past, in order not to be exposed, he was cautious and followed history.But now that he has reached the critical point of ascending to the throne, he naturally stops pretending and must not comply with Li Xuan's wishes.

He turned around and looked up at Li Xuanshi and said:

"I remember that when my biological mother was still alive, she often warned me that although she was above Xuan Shi, she was not as favored by Xuan Shi as the Emperor of Daxing. She often asked me to get closer to Xuan Shi.

My biological mother passed away suddenly last year. I have kept in mind her teachings, obeyed the advice of her chosen ministers, and been filial and loving. Even since the death of Emperor Daxing, I have not fulfilled my filial piety and have not knelt down to pay homage in front of Emperor Daxing's spiritual throne. "

After Li Xuanshi heard this, he became more and more guilty and panicked. How could she not know that Zhu Youxiao's biological mother was beaten and humiliated to death by her? He did not expect that Zhu Youxiao had hidden it so deeply and had not expressed it before, but he actually attacked at this time.

Now she said that she would not allow him to guard the funeral of Emperor Daxing. People in ancient times valued filial piety. This statement even pulled her down from the moral high ground and asked her to deal with herself.

This confused her thinking, and she only had one thought in her mind: she could not let Zhu Youxiao leave, she had to control him. As long as she controlled him, she could become the empress dowager with him.

"You Xiao, I just want you to be too sad and want you to rest and then go to the funeral. I have no objection. Don't listen to other people's flattery. Wei Dynasty, please invite You Xiao over quickly, don't let him be The treacherous officials seduced you."

This Wei Dynasty was originally a trusted eunuch of Daxing Emperor Zhu Changluo, but now he was attached to Li Xuanshi. After hearing this, he came with several eunuchs to invite the prince.

When Wang An, who was beside Zhu Youxiao, saw this, he quickly signaled to his trusted eunuchs to come forward to protect Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao said no, and he looked at Wei Chao, who was walking towards him.

When he walked up to Zhu Youxiao, he bowed and said:
"Your Highness, I am afraid that you will be seduced by treacherous ministers when choosing a maid. You should go back to the palace to discuss with the maid. At this critical moment, please do not make a decision lightly."

Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao slapped him in the face.

"You bastard, I am the eldest grandson of the Emperor Shenzong himself, the eldest son of the Daxing Emperor. Can't I tell who is loyal and who is traitorous? You still use me to teach you. Get out!"
