Chapter 1 Zhu Youjian Detained

The two emperors died in a row within a year, which was unique in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Before Wanli's coffin was carried out, Emperor Taichang, also Zhu Changluo, also entered the coffin. Two coffins were parked in the palace at the same time, and the Ming Dynasty was in chaos. Zhu Cheng knew that even more troublesome things were still behind. Brother Zhu Changluo took charge of the three major cases of the Ming Dynasty, the case of the attack, the case of the red pill, and the case of the palace movement. The case of the palace movement occurred after his death.

While keeping his soul, Zhu Cheng handed him to Zhu Youxiao, who was crying and burst into tears. Each of Zhu Youjian's brothers had a pair of cotton sleeves.

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "My cotton cover has not been thrown away. Alas, Acheng, did you think I didn't throw away the cotton cover to make my father's grand ceremony?"

"It's not like this," Zhu Cheng shook his head and comforted him, "I remember half of the broken books I have read said that a person has been suppressed for too long. If he relaxes, he will easily die of excessive excitement. During the time of Emperor Taishang, the emperor was worried and scared. After the Emperor Taishang traveled west, the emperor suddenly felt relieved. The transition from extreme mental pressure to no mental pressure was too fast, and the emperor's body could not bear it, so..."

After listening to it, Zhu Youxiao pondered for a long time and felt that Zhu Cheng’s words made sense, so he let go of his deep psychological burden.

While he was in the palace, Zhu Cheng quietly found Li Jinzhong. Because of historical records, Li Jinzhong played an unlucky role in the case of moving the palace, standing on the side of Li Xuanshi of the West Palace.

"Grandpa Wei."

"The little monkey is so good. He actually made the late emperor recognize you as his grandson. He is worthy of being the descendant of my Wei family."

"What will Grandpa Wei do next?"

"Of course I'm following the prince. The emperor is young and powerful. I thought I would have to endure it for more than ten years before I could make a breakthrough. I didn't expect it to be so soon, and it should be our Wei family."

"Have you ever thought about standing by Li Xuanshi's side?"

"Standing on her side, what a joke? The prince is already sixteen years old this year. Do you still need the Queen Mother to assist in the government? Besides, Li Xuanshi is not the Queen Mother. The eunuch's power is given by the emperor. One word can be given and one word can be taken away, so some things can be done, and some things can not even be thought of."

"It's good that Grandpa Wei thinks this way. Li Xuanshi, the West Palace, may not be safe. All Grandpa Wei's actions should be to ensure the safety of the prince. I think Li Xuanshi should have been there for a few days."

Li Jinzhong nodded and praised: "I used to think you were just a little clever, but now it seems that you have a very accurate view of the overall situation."

While we were talking, there was a big uproar outside. When we went out, we found that it was a group of court officials and eunuchs who had a quarrel.

A bearded man in a third-rank court uniform pointed at a eunuch who looked like a general manager and cursed: "The emperor has passed away, why don't we go to worship?"

The eunuch in charge said, "I'm not ready yet. When I'm ready, I will naturally notify you to come to worship."

Another middle-aged man wearing a second-rank court robe shouted: "Do you hide the prince and don't want the ministers to see the prince?"

The eunuch in charge shouted sternly: "Bold, what's your name? How dare you blame us like this?"

The second-rank senior official took a step forward: "My name is Liu Yiyin, the Minister of Rites and the Grand Secretary of the Dongge."

The third-rank official also took a step forward: "My name is Yang Lian, the deputy chief censor."

A minister followed up and took a step forward: "Zhou Jiamo, Minister of Personnel."

Another minister followed suit and took a step forward: "Zhang Weixian, Duke of England."

Seeing so many people approaching, the eunuch in charge was all important officials in the court, and he was not afraid of leaving a name or being retaliated. He did not dare to talk too much, so he asked a group of eunuchs to stop the ministers and sneak in to report. Li Jinzhong also followed in, and he wanted to take the prince out of Li Xuanshi while taking advantage of the chaos.

The eunuch in charge rolled and crawled to Li Xuanshi and reported the situation outside.

Li Xuanshi shivered. Aren’t those ministers honest? You can beat you and scold you. Why did it change today? It was like digging their ancestral graves and actually ran to the palace to make trouble. Although Li Xuanshi was vicious, he was fighting in the inner palace and he didn’t have a beard. This time she met someone with a beard in the outer court, and she had no choice.

Li Jinzhong said: "The ministers made a fuss, saying that they were worshipping the ancestors, but in fact they wanted to see the prince. If they were allowed to see the prince, it would be fine."

Li Xuanshi said, "Then let the prince go out to meet them, send them away first, and then block the palace gate, and strictly prohibit foreign ministers from entering the palace again."

The eunuch in charge said, "Empress, no. If the prince is taken away by these ministers, our advantage will be gone."

Li Jinzhong said: "But if the prince doesn't go out, these ministers may rush in. When the time comes, all the jades and stones will be burned, and even the empress will suffer."

Li Xuanshi said, "It's not okay to see him, it's not okay to see him. What should I do?"

The chief supervisor thought for a long time and suddenly said, "I heard that the prince and Zhu Youjian have a deep brotherly relationship. If Zhu Youjian is held, the prince may not dare to leave."

Li Jinzhong was shocked. This had stabbed the Killing Star's Negro Scalp. He wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to speak. He just hoped that Zhu Cheng would see that this was the palace, so don't do anything randomly.

Li Xuanshi said, "Li Jinzhong, now is the time for you to show your loyalty. Go and call the prince and Zhu Youjian in."

After a while, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian, the two brothers came to Li Xuanshi. Before the two brothers could speak, a powerful eunuch from Kong Wu suddenly attacked, twisted Zhu Youjian's hands behind, locked his hands with his left hand, and grabbed his neck with his right hand. Zhu Youjian's hands were almost twisted, and tears were flowing out of pain.

Zhu Youxiao was shocked and said, "Mother, you, what are you doing?"

Li Xuanshi said coldly: "Now your brother's life is in your hands. If you think it through and make a decision, you may lose your life in vain. If you go out to see the ministers later, those people will definitely let you go with them. You have to think clearly, if you leave, your brother dies, you stay, and your brother lives. Don't do stupid things."

The eunuch in charge pushed Zhu Youxiao: "Let's go, the people outside are still waiting for you."

Zhu Youxiao came to the gate of Qianqing Palace, and all the ministers knelt down together, shouting long live the mountain.

Liu Yiyin and Zhang Weixian stepped forward a few steps, one grabbed the left hand and the other grabbed the right hand, and wanted to pull the prince away, but the eunuch in charge was not willing to let go, and he grabbed the prince's clothes and did not let go. Yang Lian stepped forward and kicked the eunuch in charge down with a "spoken" kick. Unexpectedly, Yang Lian was so gentle and so fierce when fighting.

Several people walked a few steps in a hurry, trying to take the prince to the imperial chariot. At this moment, a sinister voice sounded: "The prince will leave now, don't you think about brotherhood at all?"

Everyone looked back and saw a big man holding a child about ten years old, putting his right hand on the child's neck, and pinching it down. If he pinched it this time, the child would definitely die. Everyone recognized that it was the prince Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youxiao remembered Li Xuanshi's threat, broke free from the minister's hand, stopped and ran away, while running, saying, "I won't leave, you should let Ajian go."

All the ministers all called out badly, and now they were shocked, and the prince was afraid that he would never be able to come out again.

Zhu Cheng was originally watching the scene with the fun. He remembered it very clearly that in history, ministers used this method to trick Zhu Youxiao out of Li Xuanshi, moved into Ciqing Palace, and inherited the crown prince first. Zhu Changluo died too quickly and had to die before he could finish many things, such as making two Li Xuanshi the imperial concubines, and making the eldest son Zhu Youxiao the crown prince. Unexpectedly, Li Xuanshi actually caught A Jian and used him to threaten Zhu Youxiao. Seeing Zhu Youjian crying in pain, Zhu Cheng's eyes turned red. A Jian was his brother and an irreplaceable existence in his heart. Now he was bullied by a eunuch like this. However, Zhu Cheng did not come forward because he was an eleven-year-old child. He could only get beaten up when he came forward. Not only could he not save A Jian, but he would cause trouble.

He pulled back and grabbed his arm with one hand: "Zhu Cheng, you are the adopted son of the late emperor. Are you just watching Li Xuanshi bully the prince?"

Zhu Cheng looked back and found that it was Yang Lian, and said anxiously: "I'll go and dispatch troops! Destroy these stinky watermelons that are ignorant of the sky and the earth."

Although Yang Lian didn't know what the stinky watermelon meant, he guessed it was Li Xuanshi and asked, "Where to go to mobilize troops? These eunuchs are very skilled in martial arts, and ordinary soldiers are probably not their opponents."

Zhu Cheng said: "I am a hundred households of the Jinyiwei, and I have hundreds of elite soldiers under my command. The Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal army, so it is natural to defend the crown prince."

Yang Lian said: "I'll go with you and take my carriage, let's hurry up."

Zhu Cheng followed Yang Lian into the carriage and said to himself: "A Jian, hold on, Brother Cheng will come to save you immediately. Li Xuanshi, are you cruel? If you don't destroy you this time, I will no longer be the country."
