king of war

Chapter 60 Wanli's death
This assault case was one of the three most famous cases in the Ming Dynasty. This case involved many people and caused a sensation. Because the case was complicated and confusing, it spread widely.

The case occurred in the 43rd year of Wanli, that is, five years ago. A farmer named Zhang Cha actually broke through the palace guards and ran to Ciqing Palace where the prince was, and injured the eunuch guarding the palace.

When this incident happened, the whole world was in an uproar. In the subsequent interrogation, the murderer even confessed that Pang Bao and Liu Cheng, the eunuchs under Concubine Zheng, were instigated.

The courtiers suspected that Concubine Zheng was the mastermind behind the scenes, and wanted to assassinate the prince and make his own son the prince. This incident caused a lot of trouble, and Wanli had to come forward to appease both parties.

In the end, the prince agreed to calm down and settle the case as soon as possible. Wanli was very happy, so he ordered the murderer Zhang Chai to be executed, and then secretly ordered the eunuch to execute Pang Bao and Liu Cheng. Of.

Now that Zheng Manfu suddenly made such a confession, all the people present were shocked. The murderer in the case was found by Zheng Yangxing's housekeeper. It seems that the case back then was indeed inseparable from Concubine Zheng Gui.

After hearing this, Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian's faces were full of solemnity, and they were silent. Lu Wenzhao sighed, "It seems that His Highness still remembers his grudge."

"This kind of secret relationship is too serious. This person must be handled properly, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise he will not be able to explain to His Highness." Qin Rongshuai said solemnly. "Come here, put Zheng Manfu down, you guys go out first."

"Wait!" Lu Wenzhao suddenly said, "Listen everyone, don't reveal a single word about what happened tonight, anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"

Everyone was stunned, and quickly agreed, and the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became dignified.

At this moment, Qin Rongshuai slapped his hands suddenly, showing a smiling face, "I blame me, blame me, I was negligent. Everyone has worked hard all night, and you have worked hard. Take the money and give everyone some supper."

As he spoke, Qin Rongshuai took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and gave it to the two flag officers of the Imperial Guard who were responsible for the execution tonight.

That ingot of silver was heavy, totaling 50 taels, and the two Xiaoqi couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. They thanked each other repeatedly, took the silver and went back.

After the others withdrew, Qin Rongshuaibian began to treat Zheng Manfu's wounds, sprinkled hemostatic powder, wrapped a bandage, and secretly performed a healing technique to clean up Zheng Manfu's hidden wounds.

After some operations, Zheng Manfu was fine except for his trauma, which looked a little miserable.

Hearing Qin Rongshuai's assurance, Lu Wenzhao breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Wenzhao had seen Qin Rongshuai's medical skills with his own eyes. He said it was fine, so Zheng Manfu would definitely not die.

"Finally, I can give an explanation to His Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Wenzhao sighed with emotion.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the door, which made everyone stunned. It was only dawn, who would come to the door at this time.

"My lord! My lord! Something bad has happened!" The voice outside the door sounded extremely familiar.

Shen Lian was startled, "It's Yin Cheng, open the door quickly."

As soon as the door opened, Yin Cheng almost fell in, hurriedly supported the door frame, a little out of breath, took a few deep breaths, and then said in a panic: "Your Excellency, I have seen that something is wrong. The emperor has passed away, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send a message to tell the three adults to enter the palace immediately."

The emperor is dead!
The three of Qin Rongshuai were shocked at once. The news was so sudden that everyone present was stunned, and no one spoke for a while.

"The emperor passed away, this is too drunk... it makes people sad." Lu Wenzhao was so emotional that his voice changed a little.

Qin Rongshuai was afraid that Lu Wenzhao would talk again, so he quickly said: "Brother, the most important thing now is to enter the palace quickly, His Highness is still waiting for us."

"Ah, that's right." Lu Wenzhao finally came to his senses and clapped his hands excitedly, "Where is the father-in-law who sent the message, and what is His Highness's order?"

This is a little eunuch standing out from Yin Cheng's back. It is the eunuch Chuanzhi they have seen before. He is out of breath and seems to have run all the way.

"Three adults, don't delay. Your Highness has an order to let you quickly enter the palace for guards. You must bring more loyal and reliable people with you~"

"Eunuch, don't worry, my brothers and I are loyal to His Highness." Lu Wenzhao was even more excited at this time.

The emperor passed away, and the crown prince immediately called them into the palace to guard him. What does this mean?
This means that they are the most reliable candidates in the heart of the prince who is about to ascend the throne, and from then on they will become the new king's confidantes.

This is one step up to the sky.

"Junior Sister, quickly let the disciples change into the official uniforms of Jinyiwei." Lu Wenzhao looked at Qin Rongshuai again, "Third brother, let your brothers also change into Jinyiwei's clothes. This is a waist card, put it on quickly, Let's go now."

After some hurried preparations, Qin Rongshuai led Qin Ruishi and Ye Buzai, who were dressed as royal guards, and followed Lu Wenzhao as they ran towards the palace.

At this time, the palace ban was not opened, and it was an urgent moment of the emperor's death. The imperial guards of the Suwei palace refused to let them in, even if they took out the prince's handwritten letter.

Qin Rongshuai frowned, thinking, is he going to break into the palace tonight?
It's a pity that Zhu Changluo, who had been automatically promoted to emperor, didn't give him this chance. Seeing that Lu Wenzhao and others hadn't arrived, he hurriedly ordered Jin Yiwei Commander Luo Sigong to take someone out of the palace to pick him up.

Luo Sigong just nodded when he saw the three of them, without saying anything, he took them directly to Ciqing Palace and met Zhu Changluo.

At this time, Zhu Changluo had already put on the dragon robe and a filial piety dress, his face was sad, his eyes were red, and he was a little restless.

Seeing the three brothers Qin Rongshuai, he didn't speak, and the three had no choice but to stand aside, waiting for Zhu Changluo's order.

After a while, Zhu Changluo's father-in-law Jin Yiwei Commander Guo Weicheng also rushed over, followed by the eunuch Wang An who was also Guo Zhen's foster father.

"Report to Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei, Banner Guards, and Fujun Vanguard are all under control." Luo Sigong took the lead in reporting, "Please show me your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, the servant's horse supervisor is always on call." Wang An also stood up.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the five cities have also been completed." Finally, it was Guo Weicheng.

"Okay!" Zhu Changluo cheered up, stood up directly from his seat, and let out a long laugh, "The big thing is settled, I will pass on my will, all the gates of Shuntian Mansion will be closed, no one will be opened, no bird will be released, Luo Aiqing , the internal and external security of Miyagi is entrusted to you."

"Your Majesty receives the decree." Luo Sigong said in a deep voice, "I will immediately replace the guards of the Palace City, and will ensure His Majesty's safety."

Qin Rongshuai was taken aback seeing Zhu Changluo's excited expression, what are you doing, Your Majesty?
Zhu Changluo issued orders one after another and soon had the entire capital's military force in his hands. Finally, he turned to Lu Wenzhao and said, "Lu Aiqing, my safety these days is entrusted to you."

Lu Wenzhao fell to his knees immediately, "I will repay Your Majesty by smashing my body to pieces."

Zhu Changluo was overjoyed and said with high spirits: "Invite all the ministers to come and see you."
