Although Princess Jiang was willing to believe Yuan Zonggao, she could not stand up to the two people closest to her. Her son Zhu Si and her brother Jiang Lun both admired Tang Yin. Jiang Lun had already predicted what was happening in the capital today for Zhu Hao and Tang Yin. When he said it, even Princess Jiang was moved.
Princess Jiang did not ask Yuan Zonggao for his opinion, but directly asked her younger brother to take Tang Yin to the inner courtyard, and at the same time asked her son Zhu Si to come with him.
It's like a separate question.
This declared that Yuan Zonggao's plan to block Tang Yin completely failed.
"...Mr. Tang is saying that in fact, His Majesty's illness, vomiting of blood, and serious illness have long been planned by Zhu Hao? All of this is just developing according to God's will?"
After hearing Tang Yin's objective account, Princess Jiang found it unbelievable.
If the emperor is sick, can this be calculated?
When his son left the capital, the emperor had no problems at all.
Tang Yin said: "Actually, the signs of His Majesty's dragon body ailment were revealed in the middle of last year. Zhu Hao is proficient in the art of Kanyu Xuankong and is very good at calculating heavenly secrets."
"oh."
Princess Jiang was dubious.
It's not entirely doubtful, because it's impossible for her brother and son to lie in front of her, which means there must be some inside story that she doesn't know about.
Zhu Si said anxiously: "Concubine, you must trust Mr. Tang and Zhu Hao. Zhu Hao also specially left me three tips. If he wasn't absolutely sure, how could he do this?"
"Absolutely sure?"
Although Princess Jiang was granted an audience with Tang Yin at the request of her son and brother, she still found it difficult to communicate because what Tang Yin said was beyond common sense and gave people a mysterious and mysterious feeling.
Tang Yin said: "Of course it is not necessarily correct, but now it seems that many things are becoming reality step by step, and His Majesty's condition seems to be getting worse."
"Oh? Where is the kit?"
Princess Jiang is not the kind of person who is easy to fool.
You think that since my son is young and my brother is stupid, I will be manipulated by others, right? Don’t forget that I am the real owner of Prince Xing’s Mansion. My husband is gone and my son is not yet an adult, so everything should be left to me. Come and decide.
Before Tang Yin could answer, Zhu Si said eagerly: "Concubine, that bag of tips can only be used at a critical moment. If it is opened in advance, it will not work!"
That's what he said, but Tang Yin felt that if he didn't come up with something, today's matter would be impossible to deal with.
But Zhu Hao never said when he would be able to take out the tips bag. He had always respected Zhu Hao's decision, and especially felt that this kid was very evil. He had never thought of opening Zhu Hao's tips bag in advance to check.
"Mr. Tang, what do you think?"
Princess Jiang still behaved very politely and looked at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin said: "At this time, things are somewhat clear. Opening one or two tips has nothing to do with the overall situation. It's better to be prepared in advance."
"Um."
Princess Jiang was very satisfied with Tang Yin's attitude, "Then let Meng Zai go back with Mr. Tang to get the tips."
…
…
It was not easy to fool Princess Jiang, so Tang Yin had no choice but to go back to the house to get the tips bag accompanied by Jiang Lun.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Lu Song coming in a hurry.
"Lu Dianzhan, what are you...?"
Tang Yin looked at Lu Song.
Lu Song said: "Two gentlemen, before we left the capital, Mr. Zhu Xiao summoned me alone and gave me some instructions. He said that if Mr. Tang was alienated after returning to Anlu and was suddenly summoned alone by the princess after the year, he would ask me to come over. Send him what he prepared..."
Tang Yin suddenly remembered that Zhu Hao had said that if the kit was accidentally lost, Lu Song would have a backup.
He didn't take this matter too seriously at the time, but now it seems that everything was planned by Zhu Hao.
Jiang Lun laughed dumbly, glanced at Tang Yin, and said, "Should we go back to the princess to report our lives? Or should we continue to go to your house to get the tips?"
"Let's go back."
Tang Yin said without hesitation.
Princess Jiang was very surprised when she saw Tang Yin and Jiang Lun returning. She thought she had gone to Tang Yin's home to retrieve the kit. After asking, she learned that something new had happened.
Princess Jiang frowned slightly, stared at Lu Song and asked, "Lu Dianzhan, did Zhu Hao really ask you to do this?"
"Indeed."
Lu Song said respectfully, "He told him a few months ago that if news of His Majesty's serious illness reaches Anlu in the next year, I will give his letter to Prince Xing or the Princess for review. It will contain his opinions on the development of the situation.
Some judgment.”
"Bring it here."
Princess Jiang waved her hand and asked Zhang Zuo, who had received the news and rushed over to inquire about the situation, to do it for her.
Zhang Zuoren was confused for a while. Why did Tang Yin, who had been boycotted for so long, suddenly come to see Princess Jiang and her son alone? This was a sign that he was going to be re-employed.
Taking the letter, Zhang Zuo opened it and began to read it. In addition to some necessary politeness, he then got to the point: "...Your Highness, Princess Mingjian, the Lord suffered from poor health due to long-term use of elixirs, and he vomited half of blood in April of the Gengchen year.
Sheng gradually recovered after being nursed back to health, but she couldn't bear the hard work of the journey..."
This is the basis for Zhu Hao to judge the origin of the matter.
Regarding the news that Zhu Houzhao vomited blood in April of the 15th year of Zhengde's reign, only Su Xigui has reported it. Whether it is correct or not can be said. But with this as a premise, a mysterious and mysterious unsolved case was instantly turned into an ordinary incident with reasonable evidence.
Princess Jiang suddenly realized that it was because of this that she judged that the emperor's body would not last long.
In the letter, Zhu Hao couldn't speak too directly, lest the letter would be accidentally leaked and cause trouble to himself, so he kept his words in moderation, but the way he told it was far beyond the perspective of ordinary people, so
This letter still needs to be kept strictly confidential.
"...If you encounter another overtired situation after this year or next year, it is inevitable that the old illness will relapse. However, things cannot always be expected. Everything should be planned in advance. Therefore, I have agreed with my husband on three strategies and hidden them in my bag. If something urgent happens,
Use it."
The letter written to this point can be regarded as a successful prophecy.
He did not directly say why the emperor was "overworked", but considering that the palace had just learned that the emperor had vomited blood because of the plowing ceremony, everything makes sense.
Zhu Si slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Look, Zhu Hao got everything right!"
At this time, Princess Jiang had put away her previous attitude of contempt and distrust and asked, "What should I do?"
Zhang Zuowei said: "The letter... no... no..."
"This is gone?"
Naturally, Princess Jiang didn't quite understand. There was actually no big difference between saying this and not saying it. She just seemed to be trying to excuse Tang Yin.
Lu Song said: "Princess, Master Zhu said that whenever news comes from the capital about Your Majesty, the first brocade bag can be opened first, but the things described in the brocade bag must not be known to the world. Master Zhu is afraid that the brocade bag will be lost, so
Except for Mr. Tang, who has three, I have backups for all of them here."
"oh?"
Princess Jiang was very confused.
Zhang Zuo heard some signs and sighed in his heart: "That boy Zhu Hao is really powerful. I know that after Tang Yin returns to Anlu, he may be alienated, and he may even leave the palace in anger, fearing that his strategy will not be effective.
, so even Lu Song prepared a copy here, what kind of foresight is this?"
Lu Song then took out the first tip bag, opened the heavy oil paper, and handed the note with a few words written on it to Zhang Zuo, who was responsible for forwarding it.
This time, Princess Jiang did not need Zhang Zuo to read it out, but directly asked him to deliver the note to her. After reading it, Princess Jiang was a little confused.
"What...what does this mean?"
Princess Jiang didn't understand.
Zhu Si hurried forward, took the note, and read casually: "It happened in the spring, or in March, and there were envoys Liang, Mao, Xu, Cui, Zhang, Gu, and Wei to welcome Xingfu. What does that mean?
?”
Not to mention that Zhu Si couldn't understand, many people present didn't react.
Zhang Zuo analyzed: "Master Zhu, are you saying that...a major event that will change the structure of the Ming Dynasty will happen in March, when the imperial court will send people to the palace to welcome Luan? Damn it, damn it, such disrespectful words
How can I complain to you?"
There was a look of relief on Princess Jiang's face: "This is not what Zhang Fengzheng meant. Zhang Fengzheng does not need to blame himself... Besides, this matter has not happened yet, and it is unclear. Who knows what happened?"
Jiang Lun smiled and said: "Sister, it seems that Mr. Zhu Xiao has figured out the matter a long time ago. Why don't we wait until March to see if it happens?"
Zhu Si reminded: "Uncle, if something happens, it will take some time for it to reach Anlu."
"That's right, then let's wait until April, the end of spring or the beginning of summer... It's almost February now and we'll know the results in a short time." Jiang Lun also became excited.
Based on his understanding of Zhu Hao, who has always been clever and resourceful, Zhu Hao said that in March, it is basically March. In terms of admiration for Zhu Hao, he is more than Zhu Si. Zhu Si has not yet learned from it.
How much benefit did Zhu Hao get from him? He, Jiang Lun, relied on Zhu Hao's support to earn fame and fortune. Don't you believe he is still a human being?
Zhang Zuo reminded: "This matter... should not be publicized to the outside world."
What he was most afraid of was that the Palace Chief Shi Si would know about it. If Yuan Zonggao and others knew about it, they might make some fuss about it.
Before Princess Jiang could speak, Zhu Si already said: "Then what happened today cannot be told to anyone! Not even to family members. Anyone who speaks out will not be tolerated by the palace!"
When Princess Jiang saw her son's tough attitude, she wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him.
What we are discussing now is a major matter: when the emperor dies of a serious illness, his son will take over the Ming Dynasty as emperor. Naturally, the fewer people know about it, the better. Naturally, his son and younger brother do not need to worry. Zhang Zuonai is a slave in the palace and belongs to the family. As for Tang Yin
...That was the person who the deceased husband mentioned before his death could help his son achieve great things.
Zhu Youyi once said that running the palace depends on Yuan Zonggao, and conquering the world depends on Tang Yin. These things were anticipated by Tang Yin and Zhu Hao, the masters and disciples, and they were not afraid of publicizing it to the outside world.
As for Lu Song... he is the husband of his son's wet nurse, and he belongs to "one of his own". After thinking about it, he found that the whole room is trustworthy and trustworthy. It is enough that so many people know about it and do not publicize it to the outside world.
"Um."
Princess Jiang nodded immediately, "Today's matter must not be disclosed to anyone."
Tang Yin asked: "Where are the two chief ministers of the Chief Secretary..."
Zhang Zuo glared at Tang Yin and thought, why don't you have a clear mind? I spoke for you, but now you take the initiative to propose an opponent? Aren't you making yourself unhappy?
Zhu Sidao: "We can't mention Yuan Changshi and Zhang Changshi. They are officials sent by the imperial court. Aren't you afraid that they will report to the imperial court?"
One sentence showed the attitude of Zhu Si, the young master of the palace.
I would rather believe in Tang Yin and Zhu Hao, the pair of masters and disciples, than Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Jingming, who have served in the palace for a long time and represent the interests of the civil service group.
