Chapter 6 No One Can Stop It

Time is lost the fastest inadvertently. Ye Xiang spent the following days pretending to be sick. Every time the imperial physician came to take Ye Xiang's pulse, Ye Xiang would tie the armpits with a rope. The imperial physician could not find out what disease was, so Ye Xiang said what it was. As for whether they suspected it had nothing to do with Ye Xiang.

Time passed day by day. On August 10th, Ye Xiang got up very early that morning. At this time, Ye Xiang was lying on the rocking chair in the yard next to Li Lan with a beautiful face. She was feeding Ye Xiang to eat grapes. Li Jinzhong was standing behind Ye Xiang.

Looking back at Li Jinzhong, Ye Xiang said powerlessly: "What are the people in the palace busy with recently?"

Li Jinzhong glanced at his master. He didn't know why these princes were in poor health. He was very anxious. Although he defected to Li Xuanshi, the person in front of him was his future!

Hearing the prince’s question, Li Jinzhong said flatteringly: “Go back to Your Highness, there are no special things in the palace these days. They are all trivial matters that will not disturb Your Highness’s ears.”

Ye Xiang smiled gently, waved to Li Lan and told her not to move, so she gently closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing that the prince was silent, Li Jinzhong looked at Li Lan inquiring, and saw that the other party shook his head slowly and nodded gently.

Li Jinzhong didn't know, but Ye Xiang knew that today Concubine Zheng would give Emperor Taichang a big gift, a big gift that would cost him his life. The eight beautiful women, Emperor Taichang did not disappoint Concubine Zheng's expectations, and several people were lucky enough to get up the next morning.

As a 21st century man, Ye Xiang knew clearly that Emperor Taichang had passed the time to be able to be seven times a night, and he could not be the Seventh Time Lang. But he did it, there was only one situation where he took medicine, and it might be the world's number one strange medicine, Qi Qinghehuan San.

With a slight smile, Ye Xiang knew that he was one step closer to that position, not to dominate the world but to save his life. Emperor Taichang was a weak emperor and basically obeyed Li Xuanshi. At this time, Li Xuanshi should have formed an alliance with Concubine Zheng. If Emperor Taichang did not die, then the prince Ye Xiang would always be the prince. Once he could not obey Li Xuanshi's wishes, then Ye Xiang would have only an unknown sudden death.

That night, a palace maid walked into the Qianqing Palace with eight beautiful women, and outside the Qianqing Palace was stationed by two hundred Jinyiwei, and no one was allowed to get close to it.

Two days later, August 12th, and a news came from the palace that was reported, which was unexpected by everyone. Emperor Taichang wanted to grant Concubine Zheng the Empress Dowager. All the ministers in the court knew that Concubine Zheng was the favorite concubine of Emperor Wanli, not ordinary favor, but the six palaces. Over the past few decades, enveloping an emperor's heart to himself can see the unusualness of this woman.

In fact, the Wanli Dynasty can be divided into two periods. The first is the period when Zhang Juzheng was in power, that is, the first ten years. During this period, there was only one thing that ran through the entire Ming Dynasty, which was reform and reform. However, in the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng passed away, and this wise minister did not expect that his obedient student would counterattack after his death. Then, after the tenth year of Wanli, another period of Wanli Dynasty, the tone of the entire period was one that was fighting for the foundation of the country. In the tenth year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli and his ministers all held their own opinions and fought hard.

The queen of Emperor Wanli was named Wang. Although he was granted the title of queen, he could not give birth to a son for Emperor Wanli, and Wanli had no legitimate son. According to the ancient inheritance system, there was only the title of chief or the title of wise man. A concubine of Wanli, Wang Cairen, gave birth to a son for him. This son was later Emperor Taichang, and the eldest son was supported by all ministers. Concubine Zheng, the most beloved by Wanli, also gave birth to a son, the King of Fulu who was later killed by Li Zicheng and cooked into Fulu Decoction with a deer.

Because of his favor for Concubine Zheng, the Wanli Emperor wanted to make King Fu the crown prince, so the dispute over the country's foundation lasted for a long time. However, the Wanli Emperor could not win the war in the end. The emperor also had his own way of fighting. In the next thirty years, the Wanli Emperor never went to court. He did not leave the palace for thirty years, ignored the government affairs, did not pay attention to the court, did not go to the temple, did not attend the court, did not meet, did not criticize, and did not talk. The most important role played in this struggle for the country's foundation was Concubine Zheng.

For Emperor Taichang, this Concubine Zheng should be an irreconcilable enemy. It would be very favorable to not kill him quietly after ascending the throne, but he would even be named the queen mother. Many of the ministers standing in the court were the main force in fighting for the foundation of the country back then. They did not expect that the master they supported would become friends with their enemies in the end. So where were they placed?

On August 14th, things continued to move forward without any change as Ye Xiang expected. Emperor Taichang was seriously ill. Ye Xiang knew that something big would happen today. Emperor Taichang would ask someone to treat him, but that person was not an imperial physician but a eunuch. Li Lan and Cui Wensheng, the pen of the Silijian. This eunuch of Concubine Zheng, her confidant, was a Mongolian doctor in history.

Cui Wensheng would prescribe a pair of laxatives for Emperor Taichang, and then Emperor Taichang's illness became worse and worse. At this time, the ministers outside had already made a fuss about the Queen Mother's affairs, and finally someone stood up and this person was Yang Lian.

Yang Lian, whose courtesy name was Wenru and his pseudonym was Dahong. He was a native of Yingshan, Huguang. He was a Jinshi in the 35th year of Wanli. He was a county magistrate of Changshu and later served as a servant of the household and military department. This is Yang Lian's resume at this time. A small official, who was a small official in the Ming Dynasty, could not be a seventh rank minister. It was this small official who wrote a letter and angrily denounced Emperor Taichang. After arguing with the emperor, Concubine Zheng could not be named the queen mother.

As this memorial was submitted, the ministers in the court also started their own attacks, perhaps because of pressure or because Emperor Taichang suddenly woke up.

On August 22, Emperor Taichang issued an order to drive Cui Wensheng away and at the same time took back the imperial edict that conferred Concubine Zheng as the empress dowager.

Ye Xiang was still pretending to be sick at this time, as if what happened before had nothing to do with him. Looking at the sunset not far away, Ye Xiang felt very peaceful and peaceful. At this time, no one would think that Ye Xiang, Concubine Zheng and Li Xuanshi should have lost their temper, the empress dowager and the queen who were lost.

Although the matter has not been found on Ye Xiang, Ye Xiang knew that he would not be so leisurely soon. Thinking about what was about to happen, Ye Xiang suddenly sneered in his heart.

Looking at the sun that was about to set, Ye Xiang felt a little strange in his heart. This huge dynasty is like the sun, and the sun is setting. The sun will still rise as usual tomorrow, but what about this dynasty? Is there still a way out? Where is the way out?
