Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 538 The Emperor Dies
"The Emperor is dead!"

The Emperor Apocalypse Carpenter in history, in the time and space of Ye Xun, finally finished his disgraceful life ahead of schedule.

The emperor was seriously ill and had not been in court for more than a year, so his death was within the expectation of his subjects.

It’s just that the time of Zhu Youxiao’s death is inevitably a bit subtle. Although Ye Xun, Zhang Weixian, Yang Sichang and others had reached a secret agreement before, Ye Xun and Yang Sichang had not yet broken up at that time. It is obviously impossible for the two to cooperate as closely as before.

After Yang Sichang and Yu Zhaojie left the cabinet court room, they returned directly to the mansion. According to his thinking, he thought that Ye Xun would bow his head and admit his mistake to him as before, but before he got home, news of the emperor's death came from the palace .

Yang Sichang and Yuan Keli could play tantrums with Ye Xun, and even threaten to resign, but they absolutely could not leave at this time.

Heaven, earth, king, relatives and teachers, this is the order that every civil servant who has read poetry and books must follow. If the emperor dies, even if you have a big grievance, you have to finish the emperor's funeral first, because this is more than the law. Also a big etiquette.

After the bell rang, all civil and military officials rushed to the palace one after another, received mourning clothes at the entrance of the palace, and howled all the way to the mourning hall where the emperor's coffin was parked.

The maids and eunuchs in the palace moved swiftly. When the officials entered the palace, they suddenly found that everything had been prepared, as if they knew that the emperor would die today.

Under the white curtain, the entire imperial palace seemed to have turned white. Apart from the empress and some relatives of the emperor who had arrived in the mourning hall, the attentive officials suddenly discovered that Ye Xun was not there.

This is a bit out of place!It stands to reason that for such a big event as the emperor's death, he should preside over the overall situation in the palace. What did you do at such an important moment?
In fact, everything was controlled by Ye Xun, how could he leave, the reason why he didn't show up at this time was to give Baozhu a chance to perform in front of the royal relatives, civil and military officials.

Ye Xun heard the word "listen to politics behind the curtain" from Empress Dowager Cixi. When he first told Baozhu, Baozhu refused to say anything.

Ye Xun had no choice but to tell Baozhu what was in his heart. Only by letting Baozhu take charge of the government would it be justified, and only in this way could the cabinet's influence on the government be gradually eliminated.

Of course, everything is still controlled by Ye Xun. When his son grows up in the future, he will give his son a complete court that is not controlled by powerful officials.

This decision was made by Ye Xun after careful consideration. The first thing to consider was whether the orb would deteriorate once he took power, but this worry was quickly dispelled, because Ye Xun suddenly understood a truth.

The reason why a woman can be strong is because her man is not good enough. With Ye Xun's methods and abilities, it seems that Baozhu has that kind of thought, but he probably doesn't have that ability, let alone Baozhu is not such a person at all.

In the past, whether it was in the hearts of the people or the officials, Baozhu had a good reputation, and now it was time for her to stand up.

Although Ye Xun was not in the mourning hall, he was not idle either. The most important thing in the previous succession of the throne was to ensure a smooth transition, and the key to this period was the deployment of troops.

During the funeral, the imperial palace was taken over by the Jingying troops, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities were temporarily stationed outside the city. The Jinyiwei and Xichang elites were all out, and the streets were closely patrolled to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

Ye Xun's unexpected absence immediately gave Yang Sichang and Yuan Keli hope.

Although rumors about the ambiguous relationship between Ye Xun and the empress were flying everywhere, Yang Sichang and others did not believe that the eunuchs in the past dynasties were much closer to the harem, but eunuchs are eunuchs, how can they compare with them, capable ministers who govern the country?As long as this young queen is fooled, there is a possibility of kicking Ye Xun out of the court in the future.

The two old guys have a good understanding, and they can understand each other's thoughts with just one look.

When the emperor passed away, although people from the Clan House and the House of Internal Affairs were in charge, it was only natural for Lord Yuan to intervene as the Minister of Rites.

And Yang Sichang, as the chief assistant of the cabinet and the head of all officials, led the officials and helped the little queen deal with some things, that was perfectly normal.

Ye Xun was absent for a while, and it became a stage for two old guys to perform.

People grow old and mature, and the purpose of the two old guys is Ye Xun, so the first thing to do is not to empty the queen, but to build a good relationship with the queen.

Not to mention, with the help of these two old ministers, Bao Zhu handled things more easily.

Baozhu was originally kind to others, but now she is grateful to the two elders, and her attitude is more amiable, and she will actively consult and entrust many things.

Baozhu's attitude undoubtedly gave the two elders another boost, and when they started doing things, they worked harder.

For personal reasons, Ye Xun would never kowtow to Zhu Youxiao Shangxiang.

The noise in the mourning hall continued, but Ye Xun hid away in the Kunning Palace, with Xiaoluo by Baozhu's side, he was not worried about Baozhu's safety.

Mu Zheng, who found that the problem was wrong, quickly found it.

Ye Xun was teasing his son, the little guy could keep up with nutrition, getting fatter day by day.

Ye Xun couldn't be by his side every day, so when he hugged his son, he was very close.

Father and son bonded, and when the little guy was held in Ye Xun's arms, he just stared at his father with dark eyes, neither crying nor fussing.

Seeing that Ye Xun was teasing the little prince with all his heart, Mu Zheng couldn't directly say something disappointing, so he stood by the side for a while, wondering if the string in his head was wrong, and suddenly said with surprise: "Eunuch Ye, have you noticed, Your Highness the Prince?" looks like you"

Ye Xun gave Mu Zheng a sideways look, and thought to himself, could my son be like me?Knowing that he had something to say, he beckoned Hua Xin over and handed his son over.

After being stared at by Ye Xun just now, Mu Zheng suddenly came to his senses, can such words be said nonsense!

Seeing that the little prince was taken away, he told Ye Xun exactly what Yang Sichang and Yuan Keli did in the mourning hall.

Ye Xun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and then said to himself after a while: "The first step is to marry a queen, and the next step is to find someone who can replace me."

"Mu Zheng, remember I asked you before, what is your ideal? You told me that if you have delicious food, you can have silver flowers. Now I ask you the same question. Do you want to live your life like this?"

This question was a bit too sudden, and Mu Zheng didn't even think about it. You must know that although he can't call the wind and rain in the outer court, he is a veritable chief executive. As an eunuch, he has reached the pinnacle of his life, it's nothing Available now.

But people are like this, when asked by Ye Xun, grass grew in my heart, and I thought to myself, is it possible that Eunuch Ye is going to promote me? .
