How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

Feng Qiaoer was at a loss when she saw her husband's shocked look.

When Feng Kanyu saw his father throwing his chopsticks, he quickly clapped his hands and shouted.

"Dad! You deserve to be punished, Dad! You said that if anyone throws his chopsticks at the dinner table, he won't have to eat the meal..."

Li Xin ignored his son and still looked at Shen Lian blankly.

"Is the rumor...is the news true?"

Shen Lian nodded heavily.

"It's true, sir. I bribed the Chief of Ceremonies, the Supervisor of Food, and several people in the Taiyuan Hospital. They all told me that tomorrow the Emperor will go on a cruise in Taiye Lake, and they received orders to make preparations in advance."

As a Jinyiwei who used to be a full-time inspector, it was too easy for Shen Lian to get this kind of information.

"call……"

Li Xin felt flustered when he heard a heavy sigh.

why.

Because there is no record of the real cause of death of Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Including any official historical materials, there is no mention of why a young man of only 23 years old suddenly fell ill and died.

Only Liu Ruoyu, an old eunuch named Liu Ruoyu, the chief of rituals in the palace, experienced the four dynasties of Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi, and Chongzhen, and wrote a book called "Ziuzhongzhi".

It records in detail the four emperors' clothing, food, housing and transportation, as well as many things that happened in the palace, bringing a lot of detailed information for later historians to understand the late Ming Dynasty.

It was written in "Ziuzhongzhi".

In July of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao accidentally fell into the water while on a cruise in Taiye Pool in Xiyuan. After everyone worked hard to rescue him, he became seriously ill. His whole body was swollen and he was bedridden.

Finally, he sadly passed away in the seventh year of Tianqi, and gave up the throne to Zhu Youjian.

But many historians have a doubt.

How did Zhu Youxiao, who was seriously ill and dying in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, survive until the seventh year of the Apocalypse?

Not to mention the great historical events such as the Ningyuan Victory in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the explosion in the capital, and the Ningjin Victory in the seventh year of the Apocalypse.

In every incident, Zhu Youxiao was involved.

At the same time, during the past two years, Emperor Tianqi began to repair the three main halls, often met with foreign envoys and Liaodong generals, and even practiced a lot of carpentry skills.

How could an emperor who fell into the water and became seriously ill have so much energy?

The records in "Zi Zhong Zhi" obviously do not match up with the history of Ming Dynasty.

Combined with the ambiguity and ambiguity in Ming history.

Therefore, some historians make bold guesses.

In order to avoid taboos, Liu Ruoyu deliberately wrote the wrong time when Emperor Tianqi fell into the water.

The other party did not fall into the water in the fifth year of Tianqi, but in July of the seventh year of Tianqi!

This fall into the water killed Zhu Youxiao, who was already seriously ill.

The hidden conspiracies and power struggles are incomprehensible to outsiders.

Therefore, Li Xin was stunned for a long time after hearing the news.

Dying?

Sure enough, Zhu Youxiao, who had been the carpenter emperor for seven years, was about to pass away.

His death sounded the death knell for the Ming Dynasty.

The countdown to the empire's downfall will officially begin.

"Sir...sir..."

When Shen Lian saw God Li Xinluo, he was a little anxious.

Because as early as a year ago, Li Xin asked him to always pay attention to news in the palace.

After all, the two of them had gone to death to offend Zhu Youjian, and the two sides even used weapons.

If something happens to Zhu Youxiao again, the successor will definitely be Zhu Youjian.

If Zhu Youjian ascends the throne, the consequences will be disastrous.

That's why Shen Lian hurriedly came to find Li Xin, intending to discuss what to do in the future.

Regardless of whether tomorrow's cruise is a conspiracy or not, Huangling Town must make plans in advance.

"Well, ah! Haha, eat first, eat first."

Li Xin regained consciousness, picked up the chopsticks with a smile, and asked Shen Lian to eat first.

"Can……"

Shen Lian opened his mouth and realized that his sister-in-law and children were there, so he had no choice but to nod and come over to sit down.

Unexpectedly, the chopsticks haven’t been touched yet.

The old housekeeper Fugui also ran in with a hurried look.

"No..."

"Master, you haven't eaten yet."

"A few people came from outside the mansion, claiming to be Taikang Bo's servants. They invited me to come into the city quickly and have a banquet at Taikang Bo's Mansion."

"Going to a banquet? Taikang Bo?"

Li Xin frowned again, looking confused.

Who is Tai Kangbo?

He is Zhang Guoji, the current father-in-law and the biological father of Queen Zhang Yan, and he is also Li Xin's neighbor in Xiangfu County.

The two had not seen each other for seven or eight years after they separated from Xiangfu County.

After Li Xin died, he became Feng Lixin, and there was no chance or necessity to see him.

In addition, before the Apocalypse explosion last year, I heard that he was seriously ill and died soon.

How come you are still so lively after an explosion, and why do you suddenly invite me to dinner?

Fugui quickly explained: "Sir, I was told that today is Taikang Bo's fiftieth birthday. I specially invited Feng Taibao to come to the house to meet him. I hope he will be honored..."

Fifty birthday?

Li Xin's mind moved again, and he vaguely guessed something.

He sighed and put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at Shen Lian.

"Brother, let's take a walk."

……

at the same time.

It's getting late, inside Kunning Palace.

"Mother... tomorrow, do you really want to go tomorrow?"

Lu Lingxuan, the female palace official, stood in the palace in a daze, looking at Zhang Yan who had changed into a phoenix robe and dressed in black, and said in a sad voice.

Zhang Yan was licking her rouge in front of the bronze mirror.

Although the bronze mirror is slightly dim due to the weather, it still reflects Zhang Yan's beautiful face.

"Is this color... too bright? No, no, I'd better change to a more elegant rouge."

Zhang Yan did not answer Lu Lingxuan's words, but wiped off the rouge on her lips, chose another one with a lighter color and gently held it in her mouth.

It's a pity that she rarely dressed up in the past few years. Even when she did, she had to be attended by palace maids. She suddenly started doing it on her own, causing a blush on the corners of her mouth.

"Oh, Lingxuan! Come on... teach me how to put on rouge."

Zhang Yan was really anxious when she saw that it was getting dark.

After applying rouge, I have to draw my eyebrows and tie my hair.

I'm really afraid I won't have enough time.

"Miss!"

Lu Lingxuan could no longer bear the fear in his heart and shouted loudly.

"Everyone knows something will happen tomorrow! Everyone knows someone will die tomorrow."

"His Royal Highness, the King of Trust, is as smart as a monkey. He asked the Emperor for leave early. Why do you still want to go? Why!"

"Baozhu, I don't want you to go, please! Don't go, okay?"

Lu Lingxuan even knelt down and crawled to Zhang Yan's feet.

"Hey……"

Zhang Yan, who was holding rouge in her mouth, finally sighed.

She turned her head and looked at the person who had been with her for more than ten years with complicated eyes, and helped him up.

"Ling Xuan, don't go tomorrow. I... but I must go."

"Wei Zhongxian is going and Ke Yinyue is going. I will have to watch them die in front of me before I can completely let go of my hanging heart."

"Orb..."

Lu Lingxuan cried with tears on his face: "Are you willing to take your life just to see them die? You are only twenty-two years old, Baozhu!"

Zhang Yan smiled and saw that the other party still couldn't figure it out, so she had to pull her over.

"Ling Xuan, although Emperor Jingtai abolished the burial system."

"But ordinary people all know that people who live and die in the same hole live in the same hole. How come I, Zhang Yan, don't understand that?"

"Since he is leaving, I will give him a ride and go with him. From now on, the grudges will be settled, and I will no longer be indebted to him."

"My lady..."

Lu Lingxuan cried again, but after all he couldn't say anything to comfort him.

One life for another is probably something Baozhu decided five years ago.

She had been looking forward to this day from the moment she held her dead child in her arms.

Seeing that revenge will eventually take place tomorrow, how can we stop at the brink?

"But... Baozhu, why do you still go to see Mr. and dress up?"

Lu Lingxuan asked the last question.

Zhang Yan smiled and turned her head to look at the pretty face in the bronze mirror.

"because……"

"A woman looks after someone who pleases her!"

"I'm leaving, why don't I say goodbye to Master properly?"
