Bright Spring

Maybe he can't take care of his fears, because the current situation is still dangerous.

There were only two eunuchs in the gate, staring at Zhu Gaoxu with rounded eyes, looking at the beard on his mouth and the tuanlong robe on his body, they didn't even say a word.Seeing the stunned looks of the two eunuchs, it was obvious that they had no idea what happened.

Usually, there should be no people in this Fengxian Temple, because this place is not for people to live in, but a place for worshiping ancestors.Members of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty would go to the Ancestral Temple when there were grand and grand ceremonies to worship their ancestors; but for family affairs such as small festivals and the establishment of a harem, they would come to the Fengxian Temple to tell the ancestors' spirits in heaven, which is equivalent to a family temple.When there is nothing to do, no one will come to this place where the dead are enshrined, except for the palace servants who are in charge of cleaning.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu's voice said: "Go to the palace!" After he said that, he glanced at the wall that was only as tall as one person.

The three of them entered the gate just now, and there was a courtyard inside. A wall was built around Fengxian Hall to isolate it from the outside world; except for the high wall on the north side, the other three sides were low walls.The two main halls of Fengxian Hall are directly above the courtyard. There are a total of two large buildings arranged north and south, both of which are independent.

They immediately walked towards the nearest palace gate, and at this time, as expected, someone had already climbed up the front wall and jumped down!The man immediately went to open the courtyard door.

At this time, Miao Jin, Zhu Gaoxu and the other three had rushed into the hall quickly.

All three of them came in, and Zhu Gaoxu immediately went to close the palace door.As soon as the thick wooden door was closed, the light in the hall immediately dimmed.This palace room doesn't even have a single window. Fortunately, there are many oil lamps and incense sticks inside, otherwise it is estimated that the ground cannot be seen clearly now.

On the front wall, there are several portraits of emperors and empresses in uniforms.Although Miao Jin has never been to the royal family's important place of sacrifice, she was born in a scholarly family after all, and she knows it well in her heart... The people in the portraits are all deceased, not only the Tai | Ancestor couple, but also several generations of ancestors.Tai | The ancestors of the ancestors were all farmers, and they had never seen what the palace looked like until their death, but now their heroic spirits are already emperors in Yangjian.

In the dark palace, the orange-yellow light of the oil lamp shone on the portraits, and the atmosphere was very strange. Miao Jin even felt as if a cloud of yin was coming, and she couldn't help trembling slightly.

She didn't know what to do, because there were armored soldiers outside, and they were trapped in this temple, and they couldn't fly.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu burst into tears and shouted: "Ancestors! My ancestor emperor is above, and traitors are fighting in front of the soul. They want to kill their grandson, plot rebellion, and overthrow I, Da Ming Jiangshan Sheji!"

His voice was very loud, it was deafening in this closed and windowless hall.Miao Jin and Wang Yin were both stunned.

3 Chapter [-]: The Turtle in the Urn

In the main hall of Fengxian Hall, Zhu Gaoxu was crying very loudly!Even with the door closed, his shouts could be heard clearly outside the door.Inside, the King of Han cried to Tai | Zu, what kind of traitors want to overthrow | Daming Jiangshan Sheji, it is simply astonishing.

"Ding Dang!" There was a crisp sound from the brick floor, and the cherry gun in a sergeant's hand fell to the ground somehow!This seemed to wake up the surrounding sergeants, and almost immediately, there was a sound of dropping weapons.

A group of soldiers of the Ming army knelt down one after another under the carved dragon stone steps.The leading general was Tan Qing, who had no choice but to kneel down when he saw this.After he knelt down, he immediately turned his head and said in a deep voice to the cronies next to him: "Quickly go and call Jin Butang and Guo Butang to come over."

The sergeant next to him nodded, stood up bent over, and walked outside.

Guo Zi and Jin Zhong didn't wait for anyone to call them, and followed them into the yard after a while.

Jin Zhong was the most anxious, and walked in quickly first. He glanced at a group of people kneeling under the stone steps of the hall, and immediately understood eight points.He took a few breaths, saw two eunuchs kneeling tremblingly at the gate of the courtyard, and asked, "Has the King of Han entered that hall?"

Both eunuchs were nodding, but they couldn't speak a complete sentence.

Jin Zhong and Guo Zi looked at each other at the same time, walked up the stone steps together, and made a big salute to the main hall outside the hall gate.Jin Zhong then opened his mouth and shouted: "There is an edict from the Holy One, asking the King of Han to visit the queen in the palace. However, the King of Han lost his manners in the palace and refused to obey the order. The crown prince heard about it and ordered the left guard of Jinwu to command General Tan to enter the palace. In the name of elder brother, I will arrest you and bring you to the queen to admit your mistake..."

Zhu Gaoxu's voice said: "The prince can actually send troops into the palace?"

Jin Zhong replied: "The holy dragon is not in good health, and the prince has ordered the prince to supervise the country temporarily."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately yelled: "How dare you fight recklessly in front of the tablets of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty! It must be against you!"

Hearing that Zhu Gaoxu insisted that they conspired against each other, Jin Zhong's face was very ugly.

Fortunately, inside Fengxian Hall, there was no wind on all sides, so Zhu Gaoxu ran into it in a panic, and he was almost a turtle in a urn; so Jin Zhong felt relieved a lot, and he didn't need to be so anxious, so as not to fall into the pretext of disrespecting the Ming ancestors.

Although there is a memorial tablet of the royal family's ancestors to calm everyone down for the time being, can the King of Han hide in it for a lifetime?

Jin Zhong had completely calmed down, and he shouted calmly: "The soldiers outside are the Holy Majesty's personal army. Everyone has inspected the imperial decree and heard what the crown prince said with their own ears. We are serving the imperial decree." , He listened to the order of the prince, whose rebellion did he rebel against?"

At this time Jin Zhong was so tired that his whole body was sore | weak, he took a short breath, and said again: "Don't worry, the King of Han, you come out and admit your mistake in front of the queen, most likely you will be fine."

Zhu Gaoxu's voice said: "This king doesn't believe you! You go and invite the prince here, and I will ask him personally."

After hearing this, Jin Zhong turned his head and glanced at Tan Qing who was kneeling behind him, and then at Guo Zi who was beside him.Guo Zi nodded his head calmly.

For the current plan, it seems that the prince can only be invited... Otherwise, who will order to forcibly break open the door of the palace where the ancestor's spiritual throne is enshrined?Besides, the gate of Fengxian Hall is very thick, and it's not easy to find something nearby to hit it.

Right now the King of Han is locked inside, and the only exit is guarded by Jin Zhong and others.At this time, Jin Zhong and others have already secured their chances of winning, and all seeking stability is the best plan.

Seeing Guo Zi nodding, Jin Zhong seemed to have the same meaning, so he turned his head and said, "General Tan, you send someone to invite the crown prince."

Tan Qing clasped his fists and said: "The last general will get the order!"

The voice of the King of Han inside said again: "I'll wait!"

Jin Zhong suddenly thought, the King of Han was famous for being brave and brutal, if he rushed out suddenly, wouldn't he be in bad luck?He quickly bowed to the entrance of the main hall a few times, took two steps back, walked down the stone steps, and then stayed with Tan Qing and other soldiers.Guo Zi glanced back and followed him down.

Jin Zhong whispered to Tan Qing: "Don't disobey the Crown Prince's order, once the King of Han comes out, immediately catch him at all costs!"

Tan Qing nodded solemnly.

Jin Zhong let out a long breath, and thought: Originally, there was no need to make such a big commotion, as long as the King of Han entered the Wenlou, everything could be settled quietly.Unexpectedly, a little eunuch appeared out of nowhere and broke the big deal!When the situation stabilizes, we must settle the account with the little eunuch and find out who is behind the scenes!

But fortunately, everyone has seen strong winds and waves.Although the big event was a bit tortuous and difficult, it finally happened.

At this point, Jin Zhong remembered that the time from yesterday to the present was not long, but it was really thrilling!I'm afraid I will never forget it in this life, and I don't know how many times I will think about it.

In the past, Jin Zhong was very poor, and once he didn't even have money to pay, and he borrowed money from Yuan Gong, a fortune teller (palmist and face reader).Jin Zhong had no choice but to make a living by doing fortune-telling...but he didn't predict that such a big event would happen last night!

...At about midnight yesterday, Jin Zhong was still in the yamen of the Ministry of War on the Thousand Steps Corridor. He had just left the lobby and was counting files in the study.At this time, the eunuch Haitao came.

Hai Tao is the eunuch of the East Palace. When the crown prince was still the son of King Yan in Beiping, Hai Tao was in the mansion of the son of the prince.Jin Zhong did not miss the son's mansion, and recognized the eunuch.

Hai Tao quietly told Jin Zhong that the crown prince asked him to go to the East Palace to discuss matters immediately!

Those who entered the palace with Haitao along with Jin Zhong also included Guo Zi, You Shangshu of the Household Department who returned to Beijing a month ago, and also the Zuo Buzheng envoy of Beiping.The three of them walked through Dong'anmen and Donghuamen together to enter the imperial city and palace.

At that time, the people guarding Dong'an Gate were the left guards of Yanshan Mountain, because just after You Hour, the guards asked them why they entered the imperial city?Hai Tao said that the emperor has an urgent matter, so he ordered the ministers to enter the palace immediately to discuss matters.

At that time, Jin Zhong felt that something was wrong!He clearly remembered that the eunuch Haitao said in the Yamen of the Ministry of War that he was summoned by the crown prince, or he said it quietly... Is Haitao daring to pretend? !

It was an ordinary day, because the King of Han was going to escort the prisoners of war from Annan Kingdom to Beijing, and there were a lot of things to do in the Ministry of War. Jin Zhong felt a little tired, but he was still very relaxed; and when he entered Dong'an Gate, his whole body became tense .

Then they went to Donghua Gate, which is the east gate into the palace.Those who were in charge of guarding the Donghua Gate that day were Jinwu left guards; the guards of the army were usually forbidden to enter the palace, and the guards of Donghua Gate were all on duty outside the palace gate.

There are only 100 guards at the palace gate, but Tan Qing, the commander of Jinwu Zuowei, is also at Donghua Gate.Hai Tao and others were not interrogated by Tan Qing, but instead Tan Qing entered the palace with them.

It was only later that Jin Zhong found out that Tan Qing had already taken refuge in the East Palace, to be exact, he had taken refuge in the Crown Princess Zhang!Jin Zhong didn't even know about this until yesterday... It turned out that when Tan Qing's nephew was murdered and was about to be beheaded, even the crown prince didn't dare to save him; nephew.So Tan Yuan's widow and Tan Qing's family were all close to the Zhang family, and without knowing what happened, Tan Qing almost became Zhang's confidant.

At You hour last night, Tan Qing was not guarding Donghua Gate at first; the eunuch Haitao went out of the palace to meet Tan Qing first, and then asked Tan Qing to wait at Donghua Gate.

There are four people in the group. Entering the Donghua Gate is the eastern part of the imperial palace, where the Wenhua Hall and the Spring Harmony Hall are located.The Wenhua Hall is the place where the prince reads and learns to deal with state affairs memorials, and the Chunhe Hall is the place where the prince lives.

... There are the prince's family members in the Hall of Spring Harmony, and there is only one door to enter and exit, and it is closed at this time.Haitao knocked on the door of the hall, the four of them walked in, and saw three officials from the East Palace standing at the door of the hall, and several other eunuchs.

The emperor's imperial chariot was actually inside the Hall of Spring Harmony.

After Jin Zhong and other four people walked in, the door of the Hall of Spring Harmony was closed.Zuo Yude Yang Shiqi, You Yude Yang Rong, Prince Xima Yang Pu walked up to the main hall with the four of them, and the group became seven.

Eunuch Haitao led the way, and everyone followed into the prince's bedroom.Just as Jin Zhong stepped through the threshold, he was stunned for a moment... A group of people kneeled in the bedroom, all facing a large bed with curtains.
