little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 295 The Madman
The 21th of the first month in the 26st year of Wanli, today is definitely a special day for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

One day after Emperor Wanli passed away No. 20, the crown prince Zhu Changluo, who had gone on an expedition outside the pass, finally returned to the capital.The meaning of his return this time is quite different from the previous ones. His return to Beijing represented the end of an era and the beginning of an era, and the common people applauded.

The weather on this day was fine, which coincided with the auspicious day chosen by Qin Tianjian.Under the leadership of the cabinet minister Shen Shixing, the military officials of the Korean and Chinese walked [-] miles out of Beijing to meet them.Prince Zhu Changluo rides on a jade canopy, protected by feather fans and flags on the left and right, and covered by banners and banners on the front and back; in front of the horse, there is a ceremony at the Honghe Temple, and deacons on the left and right guide it, and behind the horse there are tiger guards in bright armor.Needless to say, the scenery is lively, the roads are crowded with people, and the cold weather can't stop the people from watching the excitement. Everyone feels like there is a fire in their hearts. This winter is really not too cold.

Not to mention Zhu Changluo, this is not the first time this kind of scene has happened.When I returned to Beijing from Ningxia Ping Rebellion, Emperor Wanli also ordered people to use this kind of ceremonial guard to welcome me into the palace. The scene of that day is still in front of my eyes, but now things are different.

All rituals are performed as rituals, and there are not many details.After entering the Forbidden City, Zhu Changluo went straight to the Qianqing Palace to hang sacrifices, and then entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss important matters with the ministers as the heir emperor.The Ministry of Rites sent the playbook, Zhu Changluo read it and then played it, and named the temple of Emperor Wanli as Shenzong, and the posthumous title: Fan Tianhe Dao Zhe Sudun Jian Guangwen Wu'an Renzhi Xiaoxian Emperor.Afterwards, all the etiquette discussions will be carried out according to the instructions of the Ministry of Rites.

The next day, all the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, headed by Shen Shixing, asked the successor emperor Zhu Changluo to become emperor on the grounds that the country could not live without a king for a day.

Unexpectedly and within reason, Zhu Changluo did not agree, and the ministers were not surprised either. This is a habit of acting throughout the dynasties. After all, no matter how impatient and coveted that seat, the attitude must be sufficient. After all, the old emperor is still lying in the coffin Woolen cloth.So the sound of inviting the crown prince to ascend the throne was heard all over the country, so that the unicorn, phoenix, Jiahe, Ruixue and other auspicious omens kept coming and going.

The sky was gloomy in the morning, and it was snowing heavily in the evening.

A small sedan chair outside Ciqing Palace came to the gate of the palace, Wang An ran out from the palace, together with several young eunuchs carefully helped the people in the sedan chair get off.A group of people waiting outside the palace waited until they recognized that the person was Huang Jin, Eunuch Huang, the eunuch next to the late emperor. Since the emperor passed away, this Eunuch Huang seemed to have aged several decades in a day, and he walked as fast as he walked back then. The man of Hot Wheels is now so bent that he can't even walk a few steps.

When he came out again, the snow had already fallen heavily, and Zhu Changluo personally sent him out, and ordered Wang An to carry Huang Jin back to his residence.

On the third day, all the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony continued to talk with each other, and continued to stage the scene of asking for enthronement. It was never expected that this time the crown prince agreed with great joy!The ministers of the Hedian were astonished and overjoyed.Of course, many ministers secretly praised the prince for being more and more sophisticated in his actions. Choosing this time for promotion is indeed a matter of course, and the fire is ready.Only Shen Shixing had a worried look on his face. Huang Jin visited the palace yesterday, and today the crown prince succeeded to the throne. For some reason, Shen Shixing always felt a little uneasy.

On February 21, the [-]st year of Wanli, Zhu Changluo ascended the throne calmly, and his year was named Taichang.However, since it was still the Wanli period at this time, according to the practice of the previous dynasty, it was necessary to wait until the end of the year before the New Emperor's Year title could be extended.

The new emperor Zhu Changluo is a young man who is wise, benevolent, and politically competent. He has long been popular among the people. Now that the news of his upcoming enthronement has spread, the whole country is full of joy, and the Ministry of Rites is even more busy.

The Ciqing Palace was full of joy, and Wang An had successfully become the new eunuch Bingbi, the chief inspector of ceremonies.Wang An, who has been walking with wind for the past few days, is waving a group of eunuchs and maids to pack up the items in the palace and prepare for moving into the Qianqing Palace in three days.

Zhu Changluo seemed uninterested, turning a blind eye to the bustle of the crowd, got up and sat down in the study, stretched out his hand to open a book, but didn't look at it, his eyes were involuntarily staring at the fluttering snow outside the window in a daze.

After a year, Wu Ya's stature has grown a lot. Although she has become accustomed to Ming Dynasty costumes, although she has lost a bit of the boldness of a grassland girl, she has a bit more of the watery tenderness of a Han woman.Holding a cup of hot tea and gently pushing the door in, seeing Zhu Changluo's pale face at a glance, he couldn't help worrying: "Is it uncomfortable there?"

Waking up from a trance, Zhu Changluo raised his head and smiled in amazement: "You're here, I'm fine."

Wu Ya was worried, and stepped forward to hold one of his hands, the touch was icy cold.Wu Ya was so startled that her hands shook and she stopped talking, but her eyes were full of worry.

Unable to make her worry, Zhu Changluo cheered up and was about to write a few words to persuade her, when suddenly there was a commotion outside the door.The two looked at each other, and couldn't help being very surprised. The commotion in their ears became louder and louder, and finally there was a faint cry of arresting the assassin.

Wang An ran in angrily, "Your Majesty was frightened. I heard that Eunuch Zhang of the Yonghe Palace had gone crazy, and he even hit the Ciqing Palace with a stick."

Eunuch Zhang of Yonghe Palace, isn’t that Zhang Cheng?Thinking of the treacherous old eunuch, Zhu Changluo suddenly moved in his heart, and shouted: "Wang An, go and see for yourself, and ask him why, if there is something wrong, come and see me."

Although he didn't understand why the emperor was so enthusiastic about a crazy old eunuch, Wang An didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he left quickly.

Turning his head to meet Wu Ya's concerned eyes, Zhu Changluo patted her hand, and said with a smile, "Go back and rest first, and then go to you after I've dealt with the matter." Although his voice was soft, it was invisible to him. However, the aura of dominating the world made no one dare to disobey him.

Although she was extremely worried about Zhu Changluo's state, Wu Ya had already decided to go to Baohua Palace, find Song Yizhi and ask him to come and show Zhu Changluo.Since the assassination when she returned to Beijing, Zhu Changluo's behavior has been very strange since that day, but she really couldn't tell what was abnormal if she really asked her to tell.It's just a strange feeling, like a shadow, hovering in her heart, unable to drive away.

Wu Ya's thoughts can't be hidden from Zhu Changluo, but all he can do is smile wryly. For some reason, every time he wants to say something, he feels difficult and stagnant. When he meets Wu Ya's worried eyes, he can't say a single word. Are unwilling to confide.Some things are enough for one to bear alone, why bother to bring someone to accompany you to worry, if it doesn't help, why bother.

Having said that, Zhu Changluo feels sad when he thinks of the fierce sword energy on his neck that night and those eyes that float and sink like the deep sea.

At this moment, there was a commotion of people outside, and Wang An who pushed the door in came in with a distraught expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, it's not Zhang Cheng who came in with a stick outside the door, but a bad old man."

Before Zhu Changluo could speak, Tu Zhu, who was serving beside him, covered his mouth with a smile and said, "You are getting worse and worse. How did the old man break into the palace?"

Wang An blushed anxiously, and mumbled, "This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated! I don't know where he got Zhang Cheng's waist card, and he let him sneak in like this."

A fire suddenly lit up in the depths of his eyes, a faint expectation and nervousness made Zhu Changluo's throat a little dry, his palms were soaked in sweat, and his eyes unconsciously became eager: "Bring him in, let me have a look. Look." For some reason, Zhu Changluo felt inexplicably weird about this sudden news, and felt that something was gradually exploding in his heart, and the premonition of what was about to happen made him inexplicably excited.

Facts have proved that Zhu Changluo's feeling is right... When he saw the bad old man Wang An was talking about, Zhu Changluo had already stood up suddenly!At this moment, his face, which had not even a trace of blood, turned pale, comparable to the snow floating on the ground in the sky.

In Baohua Palace, Ah Man became more and more beautiful and intelligent.He came to Baohua Palace to ask for medicine. Ever since the emperor passed away, Empress Dowager Li has been ill and has been dizzy and restless.Many imperial physicians in the palace were at a loss what to do, making this man anxious to death. Fortunately, Song Yizhi came back to the palace in time, so the threshold of the Baohua Palace was trampled three points lower by his little feet in the past few days.

"Senior Brother Song, why hasn't the Empress Dowager's illness improved?"

"Illnesses come and go like a mountain, and go away like silk. That empress dowager of yours is too hard-working. If you don't worry about it, I'm afraid she will be cured sooner." She squinted at a young age but had a sad face. Suddenly, Song Yizhi's heart moved, he reached out and took out a medicine from the medicine box, put it in his hand, and sighed: "Aman, we have been here for a long time. After a few days, we should Back to Longhu Mountain."

Song Yizhi's eyes widened in surprise, without the cheers he had imagined: "You don't want to?"

This question seemed to catch Ah Man off guard, because Yu Mingyue Zhuhui's small face instantly dimmed, his performance did not escape Song Yizhi's eyes, and he said, "Reluctant to leave?"

Ah Man nodded. At this moment, his small face had a maturity that was not commensurate with his age. He patted the medicine bag and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to part with it, it's just that the queen mother is very kind to me, even if I want to leave We have to wait until she recovers from her illness, otherwise she will die of grief, and I won't feel at ease when I leave."

Song Yizhi laughed dumbly and said, "Do you think the Empress Dowager treats you very well?" The Empress Dowager Li loves Ah Man, and the entire palace knows it, but Song Yizhi only regards it as a gentle strategy used by the nobles in the palace.At the beginning, because she wanted to leave her to cure the poison of Emperor Wanli, the Queen Mother brought Ah Man to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to be kind to her. On the surface, she liked Ah Man, but secretly she meant to use him as a hostage to threaten herself.

Unexpectedly, Ah Man nodded solemnly and answered loudly.

"Senior brother Song, all the senior brothers on the mountain dote on me. But I know that many of them do that because they care about the master. But in the palace, besides you and Brother Zhu, the queen mother-in-law is the third true love." I like people who treat me well. Even though I don’t like her looking for a teacher every day to force me to read the Analects of the Doctrine of the Mean and the Minutes of Zhenguan, it’s really annoying!” When she said this, she waved her little hand, with a stern face Indescribably sacred and solemn: "But she really loves me from the bottom of her heart, I can tell the difference."

Ah Man's cleverness is well known to everyone, and Song Yizhi had nothing to say other than being dumbfounded by his categorical concluding remarks.

Although he didn't doubt Ah Man's feelings, Song Yizhi still felt inappropriate about Queen Mother Li's attitude towards Ah Man.But he is superb in medicine but has never had much talent in scheming. He only turned his mind a few times, and as soon as he thought about it a little deeper, he already felt dizzy and painful.So he made up his mind to go to Ciqing Palace for a while, one to see Zhu Changluo's illness, and the other to ask his opinion to see what Empress Dowager Li meant.

Come here whatever you want, two brothers, one big and one small, are talking.Wu Ya pushed open the door and came in. Ah Man was very familiar with and liked Wu Ya very much. He clapped his hands and smiled with wide eyes, "Sister Wu Ya, why are you here?"

He forced a smile at Ah Man Wu Ya, but his eye circles were already red without opening his mouth to speak.Song Yizhi felt uneasy, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong, but what's wrong with him?"

It’s okay if you don’t ask, Wuya’s tears spilled all over the floor like a broken thread, “Sir, hurry up and have a look, since I can see that his complexion is not very good since this morning, it seems… last time It's exactly the same when it's about to relapse."

Song Yizhi's face turned black: "His illness requires less thought and thought, but he is good enough to use his wits to show off! Unless there is an antidote now, if his illness recurs again, even gods will not be able to save him. "The few words were so ferocious that Wu Ya's face turned pale, and she couldn't cry.

Song Yizhi yelled anxiously: "Girl, what's the use of crying at this time? Are you drinking Liuyang soup every day?"

Wu Ya suppressed her tears, and exclaimed: "Oh, I haven't taken this dose today... There was a lunatic who broke into the palace just now, and he is interrogating himself."

Song Yizhi was furious: "What time is it, you still have the mind to interrogate the lunatic!" As he spoke, he raised the medicine box, "Let's go, let's go to the Ciqing Palace, if he doesn't listen to me, he will die or live It's all up to him, and I won't stay in this palace anymore, it's serious to pack up and go back to Longhu Mountain."

Ah Man was a little startled: "Brother Song, what should I do after you go back?"

Song Yizhi said bitterly: "Aren't you going back, are you here to watch him die?" Turning his head and seeing that Wu Ya's tears were about to open again, he couldn't help but irritatedly said: "Don't cry now, if he doesn't change , when you cry! Come with me to Ciqing Palace first, if you have Xianxin to interrogate a lunatic, but you don’t have Xianxin to die."

Ah Man suddenly remembered something, and his little face immediately glowed with brilliance: "Brother Song, I'll go with you!"

Song Yi pointed to the man who cared about him, waved his hand and said, "Go, go back and take care of your mother-in-law, it's serious."

Ah Man was not angry either, and was in a very good mood with a smile: "No, I must go to Brother Zhu. There is something that has been on my mind for a long time, and I must tell him this time."

Song Yizhi, who was upset, didn't take what he said to heart, and of course he didn't notice that Ah Man's round eyes were full of anticipation and hope.
