Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 2 Dream Come True
The torrential rain outside the window was crashing down, and there was no sign of the sunrise, but the sky was already slightly bright.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned, and there was a commotion outside.

Listening to the sound, it is like a large group of people running wild in the rain.

Without waiting for his orders, Cheng Jing, the chief of the palace who was waiting on the side, withdrew.

After a while, Cheng Jing walked in and said.

"My lord, outside is Jiao Concubine's official army with the three battalions. It is said that it is the order of the palace, and the nine gates of the capital are temporarily under martial law."

Although Cheng Jing didn't have much time to go out, Zhu Qiyu had calmed the emotions of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Hang after taking advantage of such a short time, so they slowly stopped crying.

Especially Wang Shi, seeing Zhu Qiyu slowly regaining his energy, suddenly felt relieved and lost his composure. At this moment, he slowly regained his senses and restored the dignity of the princess.

Hearing this, Mr. Wang frowned, "Is martial law?"

Today, the sages are on a personal journey, and nominally they let their princes stay in the capital, but in fact, their princes are just clay statues of Bodhisattvas.

There are six elders in charge of government affairs, and the army is led by the concubine Jiao Jing. Their prince has been ill these days, and the affairs of the court have not been delayed at all.

Therefore, although Mr. Wang felt that something had happened, he did not think much about it, and ordered.

"Thinking about what happened, tell the guards in the palace to guard the door."

"Continue to inquire. If there is no important matter, then take the pilgrimage to Shuntian Prefecture and tell the officers and soldiers to stay away. The prince is not in good health yet, so he can't stand the noise."

Cheng Jing took the order and was about to retreat when he saw his prince waved his hand, so he turned back and waited.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the slightly bright sky and asked, "What time is it now?"

After he woke up just now, although Mrs. Wang was excited, she did not forget to instruct the maids and maids to bring up the warm meal that had been prepared for a long time.

He went in a little bit, and now his spirit is much better, his body has strength, and his voice has returned to normal.

"Three quarters of Yin Shi."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and ordered: "The martial law in the capital is not a trivial matter, there must be a big change, and in another fifteen minutes, the palace gate will open wide, and when the ministers come to see you, go and wait outside the palace city. Any news, report it immediately."

Cheng Jing bowed his hands and said yes, and then led people out of the mansion.

After tossing for a long time, the sky gradually became clear, and the rain gradually decreased.

When Chengjing left the door, Mrs. Wang sent Mrs. Hang away and instructed someone to wait on Zhu Qiyu to wash up and say.

"My lord, you are in good shape, why are you thinking about these things so closely? Now that the holy car is out of Beijing, Jiao Jing said that it was the will of the palace. I am afraid that I will be reprimanded again.”

Unlike the Hang family, who came from the folk, the Wang family, who is the concubine of the palace, came from a family of hairpins.

Although he does not have a title, his grandfather Wang Quan is the commander of the left guard of Jinwu in the world, and Qi Wuchen, a third-rank honorary, is considered a high-ranking military general.

Therefore, Wang Shi has been immersed in his eyes and ears since he was a child, and he is not ignorant of the political affairs of the DPRK and China.

"Brother Huang is not in the capital, so tell me to stay and do my best." Zhu Qiyu thought for a while, but did not tell the truth, only said: "The martial law in the capital must have undergone a major change, I knew it earlier and thought about how to avoid it. "

So Wang said no more.

When the first emperor was there, he favored the current empress dowager, the concubine Sun Guifei at that time, so that it was difficult to have children. There were only two princes who survived and grew up, one is the current sage, and the other is his own prince.

Today, the sage is the eldest son of the first emperor. Although his biological mother is a successor, he is also the mother of the palace and the country with all the treasures and golden seals.

When the late emperor was there, the sage took the position of the eldest son in the East Palace, and when the late emperor died, he would inherit the great treasure logically.

Therefore, the two brothers never had any disagreements over the throne.

Although the empress dowager doesn't like her prince, the relationship between the prince and Jinshang is still very good.

Therefore, since Zhu Qiyu said this, Wang Shi no longer persuaded him, and instead talked about the days when he was in a coma and the affairs of the house.

On the other end, Zhu Qiyu was grooming and changing his clothes while combing his chaotic thoughts.

When he first woke up, his mind was chaotic, and all kinds of fragments were crowded in his head, messy and not very clear.

Now that his mind is clearer, he has gradually figured out a lot of things.

Past life, let's call it that.

In his previous life, he would ascend to the throne a month later, and then be overthrown by his elder brother who was imprisoned in Nangong after seven years of controlling the poles.

The Ming Dynasty, also from that time, turned from prosperity to decline, and was destroyed by rebels seven years later in 190.

These scenes seemed to be engraved in his mind, and he remembered even the little details.

But he also clearly remembered that in his previous life, he was in good health in the past few years, never had a serious illness, nor had he suffered from a coma for several days.

Looking at the too young face in the mirror, Zhu Qiyu was a little confused.

Which one is real?

Or maybe, the so-called past life was just a big dream, a fantasy when he was confused when he was sick?
All this is too unbelievable. Although the scenes and even the bits and pieces are vivid in his mind, he still can't believe it, let alone say it to Wang Shi.

After all, if he said at this moment that he would become emperor in a month, Wang Shi would probably think he was crazy.

Whether it's his big dream or the rebirth of a lonely soul, he'll know in a few moments.

If everything is not his dream, then the military report should have arrived in the palace by now. If you think about it, the martial law of the nine gates of the capital is also related to this matter.

Wang Shi didn't know what he was thinking, so he talked about what happened in the house these days and continued.

"In the past few days, the prince has been seriously ill, and the concubine is very worried, but it is inconvenient for her to leave the palace, so she can only send people to see it every day. It is said that everyone has lost a lot of weight."

"Now that the lord is awake, the concubine has sent his maid to the palace to report the letter. After a while, the lord is in good health, and then he will enter the palace to greet the mother and concubine."

Zhu Qiyu nodded.

His biological mother, Mrs. Wu, is now titled Concubine Xian and lives in the palace.

When the first emperor was there, he favored the current Empress Dowager Sun, and as the only concubine who had a prince besides Sun, Sun was not jealous, but it didn't look good.

Later, when the Sun family was placed in the middle palace, their mother and son could only rely on each other for life and look up to others.

After the death of the previous emperor, he ascended the throne today, and he also went out of the palace to open the mansion, and his name was determined.

The life of the mother and concubine is better now, but she often talks about it, and she and her son are separated by the palace wall and cannot see each other from time to time.

So every time he visited the palace, his mother and concubine kept him for a long time, and she would not let him go until the palace gate was unlocked.

Thinking that this time he was seriously ill and fell into a coma, and the mother-in-law was alone in the palace.

Speaking here, Xing'an brought Cheng Jing back.

"My lord, I was just outside the palace gate when I saw several elders of the Sixth Division hurried into the palace, saying that the queen mother had summoned them."

"I searched for the guards who were on duty last night and inquired about it. They said that around the time of Ugly last night, a military report was sent directly to the palace. Not long after, Eunuch Li of the Cining Palace left the palace, and the capital was under martial law. "

Cheng Jing is nearly fifty years old, but he is different from ordinary eunuchs.

He was born as a Jinshi in the 22nd year of Yongle. Later, he was implicated in the rebellion of the King of Han, and was sentenced to corruption and served in the inner palace.

After Zhu Qiyu opened the mansion, he was sent to the royal mansion to be in charge of the affairs of the royal mansion.

Because he had been an official before, Cheng Jing's affairs were much more organized than the average eunuch, and this inquiring about the news was evident.

If Xing'an went there, he would probably only be able to reply that several elders from the Sixth Division had entered the palace.

But Zhu Qiyu didn't have time to think about this at the moment. Although these news can't explain the specific situation, it can at least explain one point. There is a big event happening, and it is probably related to the military report!

Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then continued to ask, "Which elders do you see?"

"Master Shangshu Wang from the Ministry of Personnel, Master Hu from the Ministry of Rites, Master Chen from the Hanlin Academy, and Master Yu Shilang from the Ministry of War, Master Jiao, the consort, and some ministers who are not familiar with each other and look like honorable relatives."

Sure enough, something happened!

It was only a few decades after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong had both been in charge of expeditions in person, so the system of staying behind to supervise the country had already matured.

The Son of Heaven went on a personal expedition, and the royal family stayed behind.

When it comes to government affairs, if there is an urgent matter, someone will be sent to see him off in an expedited manner.

Some other daily affairs, such as entering congratulations in various palaces, daily ritual matters, and the approval of punishments for non-capital crimes, are handled by the prison state.

Before leaving the capital today, the imperial edict ordered King Yu to stay behind, and the commander-in-chief of the consort, Jiao Jing, to assist him.

In other words, in this set of government affairs process, there is no need for the Queen Mother in the palace to intervene.

What's more, this time, the Queen Mother summoned almost all the officers left behind in Beijing.

Combined with the sudden unprovoked martial law in Beijing, anyone can guess that something big has happened!
The immediate priority is to figure out what's going on.

But the queen mother summoned so many people, but she alone did not summon him, the prince of the country, obviously she was on guard against him.

If you act rashly at this time, it is likely to lead to uncontrollable consequences.

You must know that although he is the prince of the supervising country, the power in the court is now in the hands of the Empress Dowager Sun. If her vigilance is aroused, there will be more twists and turns.

Zhu Qiyu thought about it, and finally set his eyes on Wang Shi.

"The princess just said that when the king was in a coma, the mother-in-law was very worried. Now I am in good health. Cheng Jing, you can send a message. The king is going to the palace to greet the mother-in-law."
