Seeing that the sun was a little westward, Ye Xiang smiled softly and said to Li Lan beside him: "Go and make the bed, I want to take a rest." He didn't say anything to Li Jinzhong who was kneeling on the ground, not even a word.

Take another look.

Seeing that the prince was gone, Li Jinzhong immediately sat in a pile on the ground, with cold sweat on his forehead. As if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly got up and ran outside.

Human beings are forgetful creatures. They only know how to cherish things when they are lost, but there are too few people who can recover what they have lost. At this moment, Emperor Taichang finally realized what it meant to find what was lost. He sat up gently and touched the empty

Emperor Taichang said to the eunuch outside: "Come here, bring me some food, and let Li Kezhuo go back!"

After Emperor Taichang finished speaking, he put on his shoes, walked slowly in the room, and finally walked outside the room. Looking at the setting sun, he felt extremely comfortable. He really didn't expect that this red pill was really

It's really effective. I just took one pill, and now I feel so much better. Not only do I not feel tired, but I don't need help when I walk.

Soon, the news that Emperor Taichang's health had improved greatly spread. Immediately, countless ministers cried with joy. An emperor had just died in this country. If another emperor died, it would be easy for the people to become unstable.

Li Kezhuo can be said to be extremely excited. He finally has a chance. He will definitely be rewarded for his rescue work this time, and he will probably become the emperor's favorite. By then, he will still be able to win the wind from time to time.

, If it wants rain, it will rain. With this in mind, Li Kezhuo walked on the way out of the palace, but a person walking on the opposite side made his heart sink suddenly. That was Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Fang Congzhe in his heart, he did not have the right to express his dissatisfaction at this time and could only bow obediently.

Fang Congzhe couldn't bear to see people like Li Kezhuo, but after all, this person had contributed to the rescue, so he didn't go too far. He just said lightly: "Your medicine is very effective, and the emperor rewarded you fifty taels of silver.

"After saying that, he walked away without even thinking about it, ignoring Li Kezhuo who was in a daze.

After hearing Fang Congzhe's words, Li Kezhuo was stunned. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, so he could only sigh softly. He didn't expect that the emperor would reward him with fifty taels of silver for such merit.

Li Kezhuo's dull look was naturally noticed by Fang Congzhe, and a flash of disdain flashed in his eyes. Such a person was worthy of being an official. It was really a tragedy for the Ming Dynasty. Since he just heard that the emperor's condition had improved, he hurried to

When he got here, he also notified other important officials such as cabinet bachelors and six ministers. He believed that the emperor would definitely summon them. After all, many military and national affairs have been pressing on him for a while!

While Fang Congzhe was waiting to be summoned, Emperor Taichang in the palace had already picked up a red pill and gently put it in his mouth. He believed that a red pill could make him better, and taking one would definitely make him better.

The reply was as before, thinking about the dozen beauties in the house, his heart was extremely hot.

Six hours later, in the early morning of the first day of September, a eunuch came to the cabinet in a hurry. Seeing Fang Congzhe and others there, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Before Fang Congzhe and others could speak, the eunuch said impatiently: "My lords, please come into the palace and take charge of the overall situation."

The ministers who heard this were all shocked. They all knew what it meant. The emperor passed away. A month after the old emperor died, the new emperor also passed away.

After being stunned for a while, there was a sudden uproar in the cabinet, and everyone ran towards one place, which was Emperor Taichang's palace.

At this time, there were thirteen people running towards the palace, and these thirteen people were all qualified to participate in such a thing.

The first person to come to the palace was a person who shouldn't have come. That was Yang Lian. He was summoned into the palace by Emperor Taichang and was the last person he saw before the emperor died. This identity made no one dare to underestimate him.

He, because he is the minister who cares about life. The ministers who came to the palace at this time were all beating drums in their hearts. As the saying goes, once the emperor has one courtier, it is not as simple as replacing the emperor after his death. There are countless things involved in this,

Interests, official positions, and power will all change.

As time went by, several more ministers came, including Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Personnel, and Zhang Wenda, the Yushi of Zuodu.

Looking at Yang Lian who had been waiting here for a long time, the three of them were stunned. They didn't expect that someone would arrive here before them, and it was Yang Lian who shouldn't be here.

Looking at the three people who walked in, Yang Lian saluted them and said, "I have met these three adults."

"What are you doing here?" Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, looked at Yang Lian, frowned slightly, and asked directly without being polite.

"Back to my lord, the emperor just summoned me. I'm waiting here for you all." After hearing Yang Lian's words, the expressions of the three people changed slightly. This Yang Lian is now the minister who cares about life.

"I'm a lowly official, I wonder what the adults have planned?" Yang Lian felt very depressed at this time, but he also knew that this was not the time to be polite, so he thought about it and said directly.

Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, frowned tightly. He was from the Chu Party, while Yang Lian was from the Donglin Party. Their fundamental interests were not the same. This led to the fact that many times, even though they knew it was wrong, they would just

can object.

After hearing Yang Lian's words, Sun Ruyou felt slightly relieved. Although Yang Lian was from the Donglin Party, he seemed to know that the overall situation was the most important thing. He nodded lightly and said slowly: "The emperor's funeral.

Although it is a national mourning, the late emperor's three-month mourning period has not yet passed, and many things are still available, so there is no need to worry too much about this matter. When Fang Gong arrives, he will naturally be in charge."

Seeing that Sun Ruyou didn't speak, Yang Lian frowned slightly. It seemed that he still didn't believe himself. Party fighting is really harmful! After pondering for a while, Yang Lian said: "I wonder what your Excellency thinks about the succession to the throne?"

"There is no suspense about the succession of the throne. Prince Zhu Youxiao is the eldest son of His Majesty, and the late emperor had an imperial edict to confer the prince as the grandson of the emperor. Although there has not been time to hold a formal canonization ceremony, the status of the crown prince is justified. This is

What the official is worried about is the raising of the prince. The prince is young and his biological mother is no longer here. I think we should find someone in the palace to take care of him. Li Xuan, the attendant in the West Palace, is your majesty’s favorite concubine. It is just right to leave the prince to her.

"Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, expressed his thoughts. In his opinion, this method is the best. After speaking, he turned his attention to Zhang Wenda, the censor of Zuodu, and Zhou Jiamo, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
