Yang Lian, who has always been sharp and never lost when he criticized others, was also a little speechless. After all, Zhu Changluo's intention to deal with Guo Zhiyuan cannot be said on the surface, but he did not want to let Guo Zhiyuan stay here to cause trouble at this critical moment, so he waved his hand and said, "The Master asked you to come to Beijing to mourn the late emperor, but now the Master has passed away, so you should go back first!"

Of course, Guo Zhiyuan could not leave, pretended to be shocked and said, "The Lord has passed away?" He immediately shouted again: "Your Majesty, why did you leave without even seeing me? No, I must see you for the last time!"

Yang Lian frowned and was about to scold him, Liu Yijing pulled his sleeve and whispered: "What are you messing with him? What's the point of big things? If he wants to stay, let him stay!" Yang Lian was also anxious to enter the palace, so he ignored Guo Zhiyuan anymore.

So the ministers began to discuss the aftermath of Emperor Taichang's death. Zhu Changluo died. Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao had already been appointed as the crown prince before Emperor Wanli died, so it was undisputed to let Zhu Youxiao succeed to the throne. However, the problem was that Zhu Youxiao was still young (less than sixteen years old), his father had just died, and his biological mother was also dead, so it would not be possible to take care of him. Before Zhu Changluo died, he appointed Li Xuanshi to take care of Zhu Youxiao, and let Li Xuanshi and Zhu Youxiao move into the Qianqing Palace together. Therefore, Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Personnel, and Zhang Wenda, the Censor of the Left Capital, proposed that Li Xuanshi would continue to take care of Zhu Youxiao, and most of the ministers agreed with this opinion.

"No!" At this moment, two people suddenly objected in unison, and it was Yang Lian and Guo Zhiyuan who opposed it!

Yang Lian glanced at Guo Zhiyuan in surprise. He didn't expect that Guo Zhiyuan would have the same opinion as him, so he frowned and asked Guo Zhiyuan: "You said, why not?"

"If the son is young and the mother is strong, he will be in chaos!" Guo Zhiyuan said eight words concisely and stopped talking.

The eight words "The son is young and the mother is strong, and the court will be in chaos" are historical allusions. Before his death, Emperor Wu of Han established Liu Fuling (Emperor Zhao of Han) as the crown prince. At that time, some court officials also proposed that his biological mother Zhao Jieyu (Mrs. Gouyi) continue to take care of Liu Fuling. As a result, Emperor Wu of Han, who was about to die, said the eight words "The son is young and the mother is strong, and the court will be in chaos" and issued an order to kill Mrs. Gouyi. This sounds a bit cruel, but the many examples of the son is young and the mother is strong in history that led to the palace turmoil in history also prove how wise the decision made by Emperor Wu of Han at that time!

Yang Lian's eyes lit up. He was planning to talk about convincing other court officials in a long way. Guo Zhiyuan's eight concise words were indeed more convincing than his long words. This greatly changed his bad impression of Guo Zhiyuan, but he was still unwilling to give in and snorted coldly: "You still have some knowledge!"

Other court officials naturally knew the historical allusion of "the son was young and the mother was strong, and the court would be in chaos". They nodded one after another and finally reached an agreement to snatch Zhu Youxiao from Li Xuanshi and could not let her control Zhu Youxiao. However, a new problem came again. Li Xuanshi regarded Zhu Youxiao as her bargaining chip for her to be the empress dowager and asked the eunuchs in the palace to lock the palace door. The court officials had been shouting the door outside for a long time, but the palace door just couldn't be opened. What should I do?

Yang Lian advocated that the ministers would open the door together, but the ministers were all old men. Even the youngest Yang Lian was forty-eight years old at this time. If he wanted to hit the door, he was afraid that the door would not be opened, and their old bones would break up first. At this time, Guo Zhiyuan stood up again and smiled and said, "Why do you have to be so troublesome? Let the officials come and try it!" As he said that, he ignored the surprised eyes of the ministers, walked directly to the palace gate, and shouted loudly: "I am the Eastern Bible waiter Guo Zhiyuan, who entered the palace to mourn the late emperor under the orders, and opened the palace gate quickly! If the door does not open, it would be a rebellion, and the nine clans should be punished! Now I will make three sounds, and if I don't open the palace gate after three sounds, I will make a person hit the door. After hitting the door, all the people will be taken down and beheaded on the spot! Three…two…”

Although the eunuchs live in the deep palace, they like to discuss things outside the palace when they are bored. They don’t know about other things about Guo Zhiyuan, but they have heard of the two major events that shocked the country, namely, namely, beheading thousands of people and defeating the Red Barbarians. Moreover, Guo Zhiyuan now holds the power and leads thousands of troops to fight. The majesty and murderous aura on his body are in essence, even through the palace gate. In addition, Guo Zhiyuan said the consequences so seriously that he even shouted out the nine clans. Therefore, the eunuchs behind the gate looked at each other and were a little scared. Before Guo Zhiyuan finished shouting three times, the palace gate opened with a "creaking"!

However, Guo Zhiyuan did not rush into the door, but turned around and made a call to the ministers behind him, and smiled and said, "Old Ge, Mr. Liu, Duke Zhang, Lord Yang, and all of you, please invite me first!"

The ministers were stunned. They shouted outside for a long time but the door was not opened, but Guo Zhiyuan shouted open! However, at this time, they didn't care about it and rushed to the palace gate. Only Yang Lian glanced at him when he passed by Guo Zhiyuan, thinking that there were rumors outside that Guo Zhiyuan was bold and unscrupulous, but seeing his actions just now, it seemed that the rumors could not be believed. He also greeted Guo Zhiyuan with rare words: "Come together!"

The ministers rushed into the Qianqing Palace in a swarm and saw Zhu Changluo, who was lying on the dragon bed without any breath. Naturally, they knelt down and kowtowed and cried together. Guo Zhiyuan also knelt down, but did not cry, but secretly observed the environment in the hall. A pretty woman in the palace dress sat in front of Zhu Changluo's dragon bed. It must be that Li Xuanshi. This Li Xuanshi can fascinate Zhu Changluo and look good. The only disadvantage is that her lips are very thin. How mean is that she is such a woman, and Guo Zhiyuan knew that it would be difficult to hand over this woman to Zhu Youxiao.

Sure enough, after the ministers kowtowed and cried, Liu Yijing, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, stood up and questioned Li Xuanshi: "Where is the eldest son of the emperor? Where are the others?..."

But Li Xuanshi didn't even look at him, and he didn't say anything with a cold face.

Yang Lian has never been afraid of being a villain, so he stepped forward and pointed at Li Xuanshi and scolded him angrily: "The emperor has passed away. When you ask the eldest son of the emperor to come out and take charge of the overall situation and ascend the throne, what do you want to hide the emperor? Hand over the person out quickly!..."

Li Xuanshi was forced to do something urgent, so he used a woman's trick, patting Zhu Changluo's body and crying: "Your Majesty, your body is not cold, and our orphans and widows are bullied! Get up and take a look! This is your good minister!..."

Now even Yang Lian, who has always been fearless, is a little confused. He can't use force on a woman, right? Moreover, no matter how Li Xuanshi is, he is still the woman of Emperor Taichang. Using force on her means disrespect to Emperor Taichang, but Li Xuanshi cannot take the initiative to hand over Zhu Youxiao. What should I do?
