Although the emperor passed away, although various arrangements were made outside the palace, whether the emperor was poisoned to death, there was no official news. The current statement that the emperor was suddenly ill.

The prince ascended the throne not only to go through procedures in the palace, but also to be recognized by court officials. Only when the two sides reach an agreement will a ceremony be held.

Of course, in most cases, there are not so many right and wrong. Although the change of the crown prince is a storm that every generation of emperors always encounters before ascending the throne, it is more just a small storm. There are rumors but only rumors. As long as the Empress Dowager expresses her opinion, the ministers will stop.

But Empress Zheng should be Empress Zheng now, but she did not have such great influence among court officials. When she fought for the foundation of the country, Wang Tong led his troops to Beijing and almost destroyed the court. Only then did she decide the position of Zhu Daixun as the crown prince. After that, in order to prevent Wang Tong from becoming the dominant, Emperor Wanli saved most of the court officials.

This is not a problem, but the ministers and their disciples should not walk on the tip of the knife. How can they have any kindness to Empress Zheng and the Crown Prince?

What's more, in this situation, since the 31st year of Wanli, some people have always mentioned that their eldest son Zhu Changluo should be the crown prince. Every time they mention this, they are demoted and exiled, but this voice has never been suppressed. After the emperor's death, there are rumors about Empress Zheng poisoning him. This is a good time to make trouble and seek profit in chaos.

If you really make trouble, if you really make King Fu Zhu Changluo the emperor, then those who make trouble will benefit. Even if you can't, you can't calm everyone down, you can't be empty-handed.

Most of the important officials dealt with various matters after Emperor Wanli's death with indifferent expressions, but their students and disciples began to act wildly.

Some people have already kowtowed outside the Daming Gate, and more and more people have gone there, including the officials from various departments, the censors of the Censorate, the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial College, etc. As usual, many non-party and non-sectarians have joined in the fun. In order to talk about it in the future, we will also participate in the major policies.

Every time there is something similar in the capital, everyone is not particularly concerned about it, but there are too many people going there this time, so there are more! As long as the Tianjin Wei side is still stable, the Ming Dynasty will not go in chaos and join in the fun.

"Zheng is a person like Daji, causing trouble to the court!!"

"The palace has been controlled by a traitor. Please ask the Jinyiwei Departments to enter the palace to investigate the case, otherwise you will not be able to calm the hearts of the people in the world..."

"The eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Changluo, should be the crown prince. He asked the palace to send people to Luoyang to welcome King Fu as the throne and respect Wang as the empress dowager.

This classic theory was extremely rebellious in the past. Now, who cares about the face of the Tian family in recent years has long been torn apart in the struggle for power in Beijing and Tianjin. The authority has been much more shaken, and everyone has become much bolder.

If this kind of storm is allowed to develop, then there will be a big boss in the court soon. By that day, you will be unable to help yourself.

Empress Dowager Zheng and Zheng Guotai understood this truth. While they asked the court officials who had won over the past few years to sing a counter-tune, they repeatedly ordered the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang to launch a suppression.

Things were so easy, back then, the cavalry of the Jinyiwei could escort Wang Tong's family to Tianjin, but today, how could they still listen to other people's assignments? Shuntian Prefecture and the Wucheng Military and Ma Si were firmly controlled by Lu Wancai, and would not obey the assignments. The above assignments could not be allowed to be given to them.

The crews are walking around the streets and preventing illegal people from doing this. As for the near Daming Gate, they do not involve them at all. Going one or two is also to maintain order.

The Zheng family is now rich enough to rival the country. At this time, money is nothing. If you spend a lot of money, you can only ask these people with swords to help.

With money in front, it is not that no one is not moved. However, the Jinyiwei family wanted to lead the team out. As soon as the people walked out of a street, they were stopped by the thousand households they were in charge. When the people returned to their base, they led the people out and were immediately sent to the Hami Guard to serve, responsible for intelligence investigation in the Western Regions.

What made the palace center even more cool was that the imperial guards and the others could no longer be transferred. Several battalions were all sick, and the people who stayed there said with great righteousness:

"My swords and swords are to slaughter evil enemies. The city is full of loyal ministers and good people from the Ming Dynasty. Why did you use large soldiers?"

Empress Dowager Zheng had no choice but to do it, and Prince Zhu Daixun didn't know what to do. Zheng Guotai was anxious and was like the ant on the hot pan. Their subjects were also extremely panicked. They all knew that there was a way to use it, but they dared not use it.

People began to die in the city, and several ministers who were obviously making trouble behind the scenes died at home. Several Qingliu leaders were also ambushed on their way home, some were assassinated and some were seriously injured.

What is even more shocking is that someone in the Chen family of Xiangcheng Gong was assassinated. Chen Sibao's two younger brothers were both gang generals of the Beijing Camp and were assassinated in the camp, one was killed and the other was injured.

There were signs of chaos in the capital, but this method was indeed effective. Without anyone's instructions and connections, the students and disciples of the big guys were shrunk, and the fun was no matter how busy they were, and the benefits were no matter how good they were, and after all, this life was more important.

There were fewer people in front of the Ming Dynasty, but there were still many people. These people were not afraid of life and death. Moreover, the Jinyiwei and various yamen have increased their escorts, so they no longer took advantage of loopholes. I heard that when I caught the assassin, the assassin was silenced, he said that he was sent by someone from the Silijian in the palace.

Looking at the minister who was not afraid of life and death in front of the Ming Dynasty, everyone finally understood that this matter was not something that someone wanted to speculate, but someone behind it.

Then there are news from Henan

, King Fu has left the city, and the prefect has not stopped him."

"King Fu has already crossed the river and landed on the shore. In another four days, he will enter Zhili..."

"The prefect of Zhending Prefecture welcomes the emperor's etiquette to receive the blessing king."

The situation was completely out of control. Compared with the cowardly Zhu Changxun, King Fu Zhu Changluo was also an honest and honest person. He had no other preferences except for his preference for women. He asked him to go to Beijing to bet on the throne. I think he prefers to stay in Luoyang to play with women. He may not be willing to do such adventures.

However, King Fu really pretended that this was not important, and this action was the last straw that crushed Empress Dowager Zheng.

From the beginning of this incident, Empress Zheng and the people in the palace knew how to solve the chaos in front of them, but they all knew that they could not do that.

The situation in front of me is dog disease. The dog family knows how to treat this disease. But after taking that medicine, the disease will be cured and the person will die.

But the most urgent task is to let Crown Prince Zhu Changxun ascend the throne. If he does not ascend the throne, he may have so many possibilities.

Empress Dowager Zheng issued an order saying that the capital was in chaos and senior officials were required to take charge of the overall situation. Although Wang Tong, the Prince of Lelang County, was ill, he should put state affairs first and go to Beijing to handle the work.

When the decree was issued, Wang Tong still treated it with a simple attitude of a warrior. Without any false rejection, he directly accepted the decree and prepared to enter the capital. The imperial army under Han Gang, as well as the imperial army under the original Li Hutou, and the imperial army of Qi Wu, all began to mobilize around the capital.

When the news of Wang Tong's order reached the capital and was officially confirmed, the people in front of the Ming Gate immediately dispersed and the capital suddenly became quiet.

Shuntian Prefecture and Jinyiwei both began to send servants and soldiers to the streets, and began to silence the streets of martial law. The imperial guards and generals of the Beijing camp ordered their subordinates not to go out.

As for the King of Fu, Zhu Changluo, who had entered Zhending Prefecture City, was under the supervision of the prefect, and the prefect who used the emperor's courtesy to welcome King of Fu into the city has now become a great hero who used tricks to block King of Fu.

The vassal kings left the city by themselves, which was a serious crime. The capital had sent Jinyiwei to deal with it, and the Ministry of Rites had to discuss the crime. In the current situation, the identity of King Fu was bound to be blocked.

Before Wang Tong entered the capital, Cai Nan, the governor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, entered the capital first, and was personally welcomed by Chen Sibao, the Imperial Army Barracks officer, to the Imperial Army Governor's Office in Xiyuan.

The three eunuchs, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Supervisor and the Admiral, became empty titles after the 21st year of Wanli. They were not real positions, but added ranks to eunuchs with high status or high eunuchs who were supervising the army outside. However, the only one who could get the word "high" was Cai Nan, the Imperial Army.

But the rules are implemented by people. Before they are clarified, the previous rules can be used. Cai Nan now has the legal power to control the imperial guards. Of course, the imperial guards also default to this kind of control.

The forces of the three imperial guards came outside the city, and the cavalry and half of the artillery team also arrived. This force, plus the Jinyiwei in the city, the Five City Military Command, and the Imperial Guards and the Beijing Camp, were also close to Wang Tong. Wang Tong's power in the capital was already an absolute advantage.

No one knows what will happen next, and no one knows what will happen in the future...

The people who had previously been connected everywhere and incited the tide of speech became quiet. They knew that at this time, their performance had already been completed, and now the protagonist is time to appear.

Shen Yiguan, who had been in the position of chief minister of the cabinet for less than two years, finally understood why Wang Xijue left. In the current situation, as the chief minister and the head of civil officials, he really couldn't erase this face when he defected to Wang Tong. He was already the chief minister of civil officials. What position could he give after he went there? But if he didn't bow his head, it would be hard to say whether he could sit firmly in this position.

After the emperor passed away, all the procedures that stopped began to work again. The great mourning was buried and the new king ascended the throne. Everything began to be prepared in an orderly manner, but there was no relaxed atmosphere in the palace.

In June of the first year of Taichang, Wang Tong returned to the capital. All officials and nobles in the court left the city to welcome him. Wang Tong lived in the former Lelang County Prince's Mansion.

Wang Tong encountered assassination when he was halfway through, and a personal guard stood in front of him, and the assassin committed suicide before being caught.
