In the Taichang, Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties of the Ming Dynasty, the civil officials and military officials in the court, even eunuchs, were all a bunch of madmen, and one was more crazy than the other.

The regicide was nothing to them. Taichang and Aoki died inexplicably in their prime.

When Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was so scared that he would rather eat steamed buns hidden in his sleeves than eat the delicacies in the palace.

It can be said that the reason why Chongzhen was like a madman was that he was forced by these madmen because if he didn't kill him, he might kill him!

His father and brother died so unknown. How could he not be scared to be as nervous as if he was so nervous?

These people in history are ridiculously crazy, and these people are also scary at this moment.

They are preparing to kill the current emperor Taichang again, and they have even thought about how to deal with the funeral.

Nowadays, killing an emperor may not be so easy, but it is quite easy to deal with after killing the emperor. Just push someone out and take the blame. This person can be found in advance or afterwards. Anyway, as long as someone takes the blame.

Such seemingly ruthless things are really that simple in Taichang and Tianqi. Taichang and Tianqi were both killed inexplicably, but the entire Ming Dynasty did not happen like nothing happened. No one was cut into pieces, and no one was killed in the nine clans!

This is the reason why Jiangnan Interest Group has no scruples.

What's wrong with killing an emperor?

As long as you push someone out and take the blame, it has nothing to do with them!

It was at this moment that Taichang happened to kill Sun Zhixie's son in anger!

When Chen Yirui received the news, he was overjoyed. Isn’t there anyone who took the blame?

Isn’t Sun Zhixie eager to avenge his son? Then use this to let him take the blame!

As for whether anyone would doubt it, he was not worried at all, just someone would take the blame, because the person above had contacted Eunuch Wei, who was in power in the palace, and promised that Eunuch Wei would take the big head from now on.

This routine is actually similar to the time when the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang Party joined forces with Concubine Zheng to murder the emperor, but their power is far worse than the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang Party. Therefore, they must respect most of the corruption gains from Jiangnan to Eunuch Wei, so as to bribe Eunuch Wei and calm down the situation.

Because once the emperor dies, the prince will ascend the throne and become emperor, and the prince will obey Eunuch Wei. No matter what Eunuch Wei says, the prince will not doubt it at all.

At that time, he would just push Sun Zhixie out and say that he was eager to avenge his son, so he would lie about military affairs and mistakenly kill the emperor as a rebel.

This reason seems very ridiculous, but as long as Wei Zhongxian can fool the prince, it is enough. It doesn’t matter if others believe it or not. At worst, it’s just a matter of arguing. Are there too fewer disputes in the court these days?

Taichang didn't know that someone was going to kill him again, because he felt that even if he exposed his identity this afternoon, those people would not have time to react.

You should know that Suzhou is about 400 miles away from Nanjing. Even if it is 800 miles faster, it will take one day to call back and forth.

Anyway, he found the money that Sun Long had plundered, so he would be going back to Nanjing to deal with those guys tomorrow. How could those people react?

If he had really revealed his identity in the afternoon, the corrupt officials in Nanjing might not have time to react, because it was basically impossible to run wildly at night.

Unfortunately, he was exposed before entering Suzhou City this morning.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because Zhang Zhiji showed his waist card and showed it to Natun Wei Baihu.

He shouldn't have been sure, so he shouldn't have let Zhang Zhiji reveal his identity when he was in Huizhou. He thought it was okay, but in fact he buried a thunder for himself, and the thunder had already exploded.

After Li Zushu, the prince of Linhuai, ran back to Nanjing, he told his father about this. His father, Li Hongji, was a member of the Jiangnan Interest Group and was also a core member.

When Li Hongji, the Marquis of Linhuai, found other bigwigs and told them about this, someone immediately noticed something was wrong.

It was impossible for Zhu Chunchen to inexplicably go to Huizhou to marry the daughter of the wealthy businessman Wu Yangchun, because it was not so easy for a noble like Duke Cheng who held military power to leave the capital.

Just kidding, I inexplicably said that I wanted to go to Nanzhili to marry a beautiful beauty. Can the emperor agree? What if you are plotting to rebel?

Therefore, it is impossible for Zhu Chunchen, Duke Cheng, to go to Huizhou for no reason. Mr. Zhu is very likely to be the emperor, and the emperor is very likely to have a false illness and go on a private visit.

As for how to determine whether it is the emperor, it is actually very simple, because among them, there is the eunuch of Nanjing custody Chen Zeng.

Chen Zeng has been in the Southern Zhili Palace for more than ten years, and he is naturally more familiar with the terrain inside than the Jingying that he just came to. He just needs to find some way to risk sending someone to sneak into the emperor's bedroom and take a look and you will know the difference.

As a result, no one lived inside, and the emperor was not in Jinling Palace at all!

At that moment, they knew that they were about to have a disaster.

Once these lunatics are forced to get angry, they will do the regicide!

Anyway, if you don’t do it, you will die, so it’s better to take a risk.

In other words, when Taichang was still in Huizhou Prefecture, these people were preparing to do him!

He cleaned up the mining supervisor Chen Fengyi, which further strengthened the determination of these madmen to get rid of him. If he didn't leave Tongling so soon, it would be very likely that someone would take action in Tongling.

When he left Tongling, he accidentally scared the madmen. The emperor disappeared, how could he kill him?

If the emperor suddenly returns to Jinling City, it will be over!

These madmen secretly launched their subordinates to search wildly. As a result, Zhang Zhiji soon appeared outside Suzhou City and showed his waist card to the hundreds of households in Suzhou Guards.

You should know that the commander of Suzhou Guard Chen Yirui is the son-in-law of Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei in Nanjing. He naturally knew that the emperor and the British Duke Zhang Zhiji had visited each other in private. Moreover, he also received a secret order to search for the emperor's traces, so he had already sent all his confidants to the inspection department checkpoints in various parts of Suzhou and secretly followed them.

Because of this, Chen Yirui found out that Zhang Zhiji had just shown his waist card less than a quarter of an hour.

He immediately ordered people to rush to Nanjing to report the news.

By the way, isn’t Suzhou about 400 miles away from Nanjing? Even if he received the news in the morning and immediately sent someone to send a message, how could he receive the secret order to assassinate Taichang in Suzhou City in the afternoon?

I have to say that Taichang made a common sense mistake. He thought that it would take at least half a day to speed up from Suzhou to Nanjing even if it was 800 miles, so he was not worried at all, because he would leave tomorrow morning, and even if it was exposed in the afternoon, Nanjing would not have time to react.

In fact, the 800-mile expedited message is just a general statement. The road conditions are different and the number of inns is different, so the speed of expedited message is different.

For example, in the northwest border, there are few post stations, and you may not encounter one post station if you run for a day. Then it would be good to be able to spread this expedited one day for 400 miles, because the physical fitness of a horse is about 200 miles long, and you must stop and rest or change horses, otherwise the horse will run to death.

If there is no horse change, you can only stop and rest and then run.

The city of Suzhou and Nanjing are different. This is the most prosperous area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. The official roads are so well-connected that there are even more numerous stations, which are scary. There is almost one every twenty or thirty miles.

In this case, the person who sent a message can keep changing horses and running at the extreme speed of the horse.

If you run like this, it will not be eight hundred miles a day, because the maximum speed of a horse is about seventy kilometers per hour, which is converted into one hundred and forty miles, and one hour is two hours. In other words, Chen Yirui can transmit the news to Nanjing in less than two hours.

The big guys in Nanjing were not vague and immediately decided to do the emperor in Suzhou!

In fact, it took less than five hours in total. In other words, Taichang just took action to kill Sun Zhixie's son and tax envoy Sun Long, and Chen Yirui received a secret order to make him while he was still in Suzhou City!
