Although the position he stood was enough for him to hear the conversation between the emperor and Wei Zhongxian clearly, more than ten years of professionalism made him learn how to close his eyes and listen. If he shouldn't listen, just treat him as deaf. The more he knows, the more he will die. Faster, right?

"Go and move the Imperial Prison to Qianqing Palace." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, thinking that Chen Hong would take orders to do the work. Unexpectedly, Chen Hong was still lying on the ground motionless. He asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Is it appropriate?"

"Your Majesty, the Qianqing Palace is not big enough!" Chen Hong quickly lay on the ground and said carefully.

The so-called imperial prison is one of the twelve prisons in the Ming Dynasty. There are eunuchs who hold the seals, and there are internal and external supervisors, directors, bookkeepers, writers, supervisors and other staff.

The imperial prison is the place where the screens used for palace relocation, wooden utensils for beds, and red sandalwood, ivory, ebony, luodian and other playwares are made. There is also a supervisor of the Renzhi Palace, and the books and pictures written by the Wuying Palace are in charge. .

Zhu Youxiao felt that the journey between Qianqing Palace and the Imperial Prison was too far every day, which was not conducive to his study of carpentry, so he thought of working in Qianqing Palace.

"Then make some space and buy me a small imperial prison." Zhu Youxiao thought about it for a while, and decided to free up a special palace in the future and live in it by himself.

While Chen Hong and others were still busy working on Zhu Youxiao's carpentry studio, Wei Zhongxian went to visit the palace where Ke Baba lived.

"Eunuch Wei!"

When the maid saw Wei Zhongxian, she naturally did not dare to neglect him. She quickly bowed and bowed, and when Wei Zhongxian waved her hand, she bowed and left.

Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly and strode into the inner room. He saw Ke Baba with his eyes slightly closed, lying sideways on the bed to rest, his face pale and without a trace of blood.

Wei Zhongxian went straight to the bed and sat down, gently holding the woman's hand. Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "Has anyone seen it?"

Ke Baba opened his eyes and saw the visitor. He nodded and comforted softly: "I've seen the imperial doctor. I just suffered from some wind and cold, so I'm a little weak. I'll be fine after taking a few medicines. The emperor hasn't been here these days. Look at me, it seems that you have forgotten me." She sighed softly, her voice was a little low, and she seemed to be full of grievances.

Looking at Ke Baba's beautiful and gentle face, Wei Zhongxian smiled. In the deep palace, they were all poor people, and the so-called food was just taking advantage of each other, but he still felt uncomfortable in his heart. Why did the emperor want her to die? ?

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian had an idea. He wanted to stand up and go out to ask the emperor. But after all, he wanted to stand up in his heart, but his body seemed to be frozen in place and did not move for a long time.

"You are well taken care of. Let's go see the medicine they boiled for you." After regaining consciousness, Wei Zhongxian reached out and patted Ke Baba's delicate hand and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Ke Baba nodded, and then said with a smile: "Don't be too tired."

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Chen Hong was standing guard outside the studio door. At this time, Zhu Youzheng was carving something in front of the table with a carving knife. The wood chips were flying and it was about to take shape.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! It's not good!" There was a noise outside. Zhu Youxiao's hand shook, and one line of the wood carving was crooked, so he simply threw it aside.

Chen Hong looked at a young servant who hurriedly ran over, rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Where does this slave come from and doesn't know the rules? Palm!"

An errand who had just arrived at Qianqing Palace raised his palms high in joy.

With a "squeak", the door opened. Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands behind his back facing the warm light.

When the people outside the door saw that they had disturbed the emperor, they immediately fell to their knees on the ground.

The young waiter closed his eyes and waited for the slap to fall on his face, but he did not experience the unexpected pain. He secretly opened his eyes and saw the emperor standing at the door, kneeling on the ground with a plop.

"My slave has disturbed the Emperor. I deserve to die." The young servant did not dare to look at Zhu Youxiao anymore. He lay prone on the ground, shaking like a sieve of chaff.

"Everyone, get up." Zhu Youxiao said calmly.

Chen Hong was a discerning man. He quickly bowed down, lightly kicked the waiter, and urged: "What do you want to report to the emperor?"

"Your Majesty, Feng...Fengsheng Lady...went to the west!"

After hearing what the young waiter said, Zhu Youxiao's hands trembled, and then his body began to sway from side to side, looking like he was about to faint.

Seeing this scene, Chen Hong was startled and rushed to the emperor to support him. At this moment, he only felt that the emperor's body softened.

Zhu Youxiao fell into his arms.

"Royal Physician! Quickly call the Imperial Physician!"

The news quickly spread throughout the palace, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, the news quickly spread out like water waves. The palace is not just a colander, but it is almost the same. The news leaked out very quickly. The speed is amazing.

Soon everyone knew that Mrs. Fengsheng was dead, and Emperor Tianqi fainted from grief.

After being carried back to the palace, Zhu Youxiao woke up. Everyone in the Qianqing Palace was as busy as ants on a hot pot. The imperial doctors came in and out. After taking a look, they carefully considered the prescription. son.

Leaning on the bed and watching everyone busy at work, Zhu Youxiao had no expression on his face.

In fact, if we don’t kill Ke Baba, is it okay to drive her out of the palace?

The answer is yes, but why do we have to kill her?

Because as long as she is alive, she will try her best to cause trouble, and will work together with Wei Zhongxian. Emperor Tianqi had three sons and two daughters, but they all died halfway, and none of them grew up safely. Among them were the Hakka family and It was Wei Zhongxian's fault, and he didn't want to see this scene happen. Keba couldn't stay, and at the same time, her death must be used as a warning to Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Youxiao knew that Ke Baba's death would definitely alarm the civil service system, and the Donglin Party was expected to have the biggest reaction.

The chief assistant of the Donglin Party was Liu Yisui. In fact, Zhu Youxiao liked Liu Yishui, who was promoted to the Minister of Rites and Bachelor of Dongge in the history books. Together with Fang Congzhe and Han Xu, he was the Minister of Gu Ming.

After Guangzong's death, Li Xuanshi, Wei Zhongxian (then called Li Jinzhong) and others held the crown prince hostage in the Qianqing Palace in an attempt to hide the eldest son in order to respect themselves. Liu Yishui, together with the British Duke Zhang Weixian, Zhou Jiamo, Yang Lian and others, made a decisive decision and led the ministers into the Qianqing Palace. He coaxed out Emperor Tianqi, who was still the eldest son of the emperor at the time, and urged the emperor's eldest son to move to Ciqing Palace, and forced Li Xuanshi to move to Yiluan Palace. Emperor Tianqi was able to ascend the throne and inherit the throne.

Now that Xiang Congzhe was impeached, Liu Yishen took over as the chief minister of the cabinet and took charge of the government. He was wise in politics and could correct the emperor's mistakes. He was one of the few honest and honest officials.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao stopped Chen Hong and whispered a few words in his ear.

Chen Hong's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly left.

Originally, the death of an old palace maid in the palace was a dispensable thing. But in the final analysis, she died like a guest.

Soon, the news of Madam Feng Sheng's death spread quickly, and everyone in the inner court and outside the court knew that this powerful woman in the harem was dead. Some were shocked, some were heartbroken, and most of them were filled with endless suspicion.

The first to know was the Donglin Party. When Yang Lian received the news, he first questioned the authenticity of the news, and then jumped up happily and immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a sedan chair and go to the house of Liu Yisui, the chief assistant scholar of the cabinet.

superior.

Yang Lian must be familiar to everyone. He was a famous remonstrator in the late Ming Dynasty, a member of the Donglin Party, and one of the "Six Gentlemen of Donglin". In the original historical summary, the two cases of "Red Pill" and "Yigong" were directly

Regarding the succession of the throne and the redistribution of imperial power interests, Yang Lian played an active role in the two cases and played a key role. Especially in the "relocation of the palace", Yang Lian contributed the most.

It is recorded in the history of the previous life that the eunuch Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse Ke Baba colluded to monopolize power in the palace and abuse them wantonly. Some officials took refuge in Wei Zhongxian and formed the "eunuch party" to attack and exclude the Donglin Party members.
