It is said that Emperor Yongqing was setting up an altar there to save Concubine Zhen, when he suddenly saw the Empress Dowager walking up with someone's support, she said anxiously: "Emperor, do you still have the heart to do this now? You know that there is a mess outside, but it is the King of Jingjing who rebelled." Already!"

When these maids and monks heard this, their faces turned ashen and trembled with fright.Even Emperor Yongqing was stunned, and couldn't even speak for a moment. After a long while, he came back to his breath: "Bold and water-soluble, I'm tired of seeing him alone! The guards in the palace can resist for a while, how many rebels are there outside?" Centaur?"

After asking, a eunuch in charge kept yelling in and said: "No, it's not good! To report to the emperor and the queen mother, more or less rebels rushed in to fight with the imperial guards, and the blood flowed like a river. !"

At that time, people in the palace outside were pulling this and that, and there was an uproar, when they heard a series of screams and cries, which made Emperor Yongqing panic, and said to the Queen Mother: "This place is dangerous. Also ask the queen mother to go quickly."

When the queen mother heard this, she insisted on not obeying, she shed tears and said: "This is the world of our mother and son, where else can we go? The queen mother will stay in the palace with you, waiting to see the traitor be executed."

Emperor Yongqing was afraid of the empress dowager's safety, so he refused after a few words of persuasion. He turned his head and asked the eunuch in charge to make it clear. To relieve the distress in the palace!"

As he said that, he looked out the window himself and saw that there were densely surrounded by the servants who were waiting for him. Everyone's face was full of tears, and everyone was depressed.Not far away, the maids and eunuchs on the gates were in a mess, they didn't know how to run around, all the gates of the palace were sealed, and the concubines were also locked in each room, and those who had nowhere to go burst into tears.

Emperor Yongqing saw it in his eyes, and when he turned around, all the people in the room couldn't help crying, really sad.At this time, the queen mother walked up to the emperor, and said with tears of relief: "Emperor, the ancestors are above, and will protect us from danger to prosperity. If there is such a mess, I don't know that the king of Beijing has always been Keep evil intentions in mind, when this hurdle is over, let's cook well, and drive out all those unfaithful and unfilial things!"

Emperor Yongqing saw that the queen mother had been tossing and toiling all night, and begged the old man to rest and recuperate: "Please forgive me, my son is really ashamed. I only hope that with the blessings of my ancestors, my son will conscientiously govern the affairs of the court and take care of my mother." Tiannian."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the head of the bodyguard rushing over in a panic, knelt down and kowtowed and replied: "The two palace gates can't be guarded anymore, there are too many rebels outside, I beg your Majesty and the Queen Mother to move away." Avoid disaster!"

When everyone heard this, they became even more sad, and some Gong'e cried more and more, looking gloomy.Emperor Yongqing had never been through such a storm, although he didn't speak a word, but his heart was agitated, and he thought: Could it be that this time is really more or less auspicious?Wan never expected that in the end, he would be defeated in the hands of Shui Rong.

He was anxiously waiting for the foreign letter, and was ready to withdraw at any time, when he saw the head of the Daming Palace running in angrily, shouting with joy on his face: "Great joy! Prince Lian has brought the Habayashi guards here!"

With this cry, the whole room couldn't help cheering up. There was an earth-shattering sword fight outside. The Emperor Yongqing and the Queen Mother couldn't suppress their joy when they heard the good news. The king came to help."

I don't know how long I waited, the movement in two or three places outside gradually lessened, the door of Lingbao Palace opened "Hula", and a man came in wearing armor and carrying a sword, and there were beads of blood dripping from the sword.Emperor Yongqing took a closer look, and it was Shui Lan who brought the troops to King Qin. He heard him say in a deep voice, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are frightened by my minister's late arrival, and I deserve death."

At this time, Emperor Yongqing's soul was fixed, and he was still in a daze.It was the empress dowager who asked someone to help King Lian up, and said with tears in her eyes, "King Lian's words are out of line. How can the flesh and blood of the whole family be guilty? What's going on outside?"

How Shui Lan learned the news, how quickly he led his troops here, and fought and fought with the rebels outside. He returned to the Ming Dynasty one by one, and said: "You are nothing to be afraid of. Now the minister ordered the closure of the city, and the rebellious minister who colluded with Shui Rong Most of the thieves were beheaded. But when he was chasing Shui Rong, that guy was very cunning, he blocked the knife with his concubine, but his arm was cut off by the minister, and he couldn't escape the capital."

The queen mother and others were terrified when they heard this, but Emperor Yongqing still couldn't understand his hatred, and spat fiercely: "Be sure to catch Shui Rong alive, and make his life worse than death!"

In the autumn of the 13th year of Yongqing, the king of Beijing, Shuirong, suddenly rebelled and entered Beijing. He pretended to be "the side of the Qing emperor" and pretended to be disrespectful.At this time of crisis, fortunately, King Lian quickly dispatched King Qin's teachers to relieve the distress of Daming Palace, so that no disaster will be caused, and the whole world should celebrate it.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yongqing here escaped the storm and suffered the rain again.Because the king of Beijing rebelled and forced the palace, all kinds of rumors spread among the people, and all the officials were in danger. People with good things on the road spread the word: "The emperor has done something wrong, and he can't sleep at night." If you are empty, I am afraid that you will not live to be forty, so it is better to let the virtuous."

Emperor Yongqing was furious when he heard about it, he thought it was the King of Beijing who had spread rumors and made trouble, so he must arrest him with all his strength.In the past few days, because of the aftermath of the incident with the King of Beijing, Emperor Yongqing sent down another group of officials. They couldn't cough when they got angry, and their faces were ashes. All the ministers of the Privy Council looked at each other and went to see Seeing Prince Lian Shuilan, he asked frowningly: "Your Majesty, the students see His Majesty like this. They should take care of the dragon's body first, and there is no rush to deal with the rebels."

After hearing this, King Lian nodded and said, "It's reasonable, and I will persuade Your Majesty to cherish it." After returning to the mansion, he told Daiyu everything about it, but saw her eating melon seeds, pursing her lips and saying: "Bai Cao's heart. They don't know that the prince spread the rumors, so they asked you to persuade them. I was the same as Lord Chu and the others that day. I couldn't understand your thoughts. So you were waiting for the King of Beijing to turn against you. Alright, it's justifiable to intervene."

Shui Lan and his daughter-in-law sat side by side, peeled off the pure white melon seeds and held them in the palm of their hands, and fed them into her mouth one by one, before finally laughing and saying: "Without the name of King Qin, how can I use Habayashi Wei?" Controlling the inner court? Now the emperor is like a frightened bird, irritated by the slightest thing, and no one will believe it except me, thanks to Shui Rong, the infantry, for taking the risk."

After hearing this, Daiyu clapped her hands and hastened, then suddenly cupped his face and looked at him for a while, then sighed faintly: "When we get to this field, I don't care about anything else, I only want you to be safe. "

Shui Lan couldn't help feeling hot in her heart, held her hand and put it on her lips, and said a few words of comfort: "I'll save it, and I won't worry you again." After thinking about it for a while, she said: "In the future, if there are thousands of nobles , only Yu'er can share it with me."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a message from outside saying, "Your Majesty, two thieves, Shui Rong and Zhen Yingxu, failed in their attempt and were besieged and killed themselves. Your Majesty asks Prince Lian to enter the palace quickly." Shui Lan had no choice but to rush back into the palace.

When he saw Emperor Yongqing, he seemed to have been frightened a lot, a big bump was bumped on his forehead, and he was still in shock.Shui Lan sighed, and asked An, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

When Emperor Yongqing saw Shui Lan, although he was slightly relieved, he still said angrily: "Just now when the memorial was being approved, Zhen Yingxu brought a small eunuch in and said that there was a clue of water soluble, but who would have thought that eunuch suddenly pulled out a dagger to assassinate Gu. Fortunately, there are imperial guards escorting them. Gu suffered some minor injuries, but it is not a problem, but I did not expect Gu to treat the two of them so kindly, and even collude with each other to avenge their favor, it is really hateful!"

Because Emperor Yongqing started the real fire, Shui Lan said some comforting words.After Emperor Yongqing finished his long speech, he thought again: "Uncle Emperor, those rumors spread by Shui Rong..."

Shui Lan intercepted his words, frowned and said: "Such nonsense should not be spread anymore, it might be better to catch a few people who will kill the chickens and monkeys."

"Those rumors, there are some," Emperor Yongqing leaned on the side table wearily, opened his eyes slightly, and sighed: "It's true. Gu Ye can only say in front of the emperor's uncle that since the incident with Concubine Zhen , Gu has lost sleep for several days, and at night it is miserable. Therefore, you can't completely blame Concubine Zhen for the hibiscus ointment, in fact, Gu himself has a heart disease."

Seeing his situation, Shui Lan could only say: "Your Majesty understands what I mean, but—"

"Uncle, I'm tired." Emperor Yongqing stood up suddenly, stared at Shui Lan with his eyes motionless, and said sadly: "I want to take care of the affairs of the previous dynasty and the affairs of the harem, but the final result is It's the opposite, it's dead. I don't have a strong body, and I read the Buddhist scriptures left by Concubine Zhen every day these days, so I should speculate a little more, so as to solve my doubts."

Regardless of what he thinks in his heart, Shui Lan still tried to persuade him once, but Emperor Yongqing's heart was firm, so he entrusted his military plan to Shui Lan, and sent people into Lingbao Palace when there were major decisions.In addition, because of the two Buddhist scriptures presented by Daiyu to Concubine Zhen that day, Emperor Yongqing was extremely obsessed with Tantric Buddhism, and specially invited the Jebtsundamba living Buddha to pass on the scriptures in the capital, and built Qingning Temple for the living Buddha to relocate here , showing full faith and support.

Despite repeated admonitions from the emperor's veterans, Emperor Yongqing still went his own way, and even removed Shui Lan's title of "Lian Wang" and changed him to "Regent".

Since then, Emperor Yongqing no longer cared about the vulgar things in the court, and devoted all his body and mind to the boundless practice of Buddhism, in order to obtain the double liberation of body and mind.

The author has something to say: Since the author has been to Tibet, he has really admired the scenery there, especially the Ngari area.

Although Tibetan secrets are mentioned in the article, the author is relatively more inclined to Zen Buddhism. However, Kang, Yonggan, and Qian of the Qing Dynasty all practiced Tantric Buddhism. .
