Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 2 Whose world is this?

Forbidden City.

Qianqing Palace.

Huai'en, looking hurried, trotted into Zhu Youtang's Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have brought everyone into the palace."

Zhu Youtang put down the memorial in his hand and asked: "Have you received any news from the Cining Palace?"

"No, everyone I saw along the way was controlled by this old slave, and there was absolutely no leakage of any information."

"Okay, well done."

Zhu Youtang tapped his fingers and stared at the memorial in front of him with an expressionless face.

He was thinking about how to take action against the cabinet after dealing with the harem.

Huai En followed Zhu Youtang's gaze and saw the memorial on the dragon table. He couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, this memorial..."

Zhu Youtang glanced at him calmly and said, "I will keep this memorial in my possession. If anyone from the Cining Palace or the Cabinet asks about it, let them come to me."

Huai En quickly bowed his head: "Yes."

……

Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager Zhou, with her white hair and youthful face, was in good spirits and was half lying on the couch.

Four or five little palace maids were massaging her legs, one was fanning her, and one was peeling grapes.

But even with so many people serving her, Empress Dowager Zhou still looked a little irritated.

At this time, the eunuch Liang Fang walked quickly from outside the palace and came in front of Empress Dowager Zhou.

"Grand Empress Dowager, the cabinet said that they have not received the returned memorial yet."

Empress Dowager Zhou frowned and said, "Haven't I already approved it and stamped it with my seal, and sent someone to the Palace of Heavenly Purity?"

"Where's the fold?"

Liang Fang wiped the sweat off her head and said, "Your Majesty, the memorial entered the Qianqing Palace and never came out."

The face of Empress Dowager Zhou suddenly turned gloomy.

"You mean, the memorial was kept by Tang'er?"

Liang Fang bent even lower and said nothing.

Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand and said, "Go and ask Tang'er what's going on."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Liang Fang respectfully left the Cining Palace, he ran to the Qianqing Palace without stopping.

When Liang Fang arrived at the Qianqing Palace, she did not go directly to find Zhu Youtang, but went to find Huai En first.

Empress Dowager Zhou could ignore the emperor's attitude, but Liang Fang could not.

Therefore, Liang Fang was unwilling to have a head-on conflict with the emperor unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Eunuch Huai, why haven't we seen the memorials sent to the Qianqing Palace this afternoon?"

Huai En looked at Liang Fang, smiling: "Eunuch Liang, look at what you said. I am just a servant serving the emperor, how can I know these things?"

"How about you go and ask His Majesty yourself?"

Liang Fang cursed the old fox in her heart: "Is His Majesty in the Palace of Heavenly Purity? Please inform Eunuch Huai."

Huai En shook his head: "Your Majesty is relaxing in the Imperial Garden right now, come with us."

Liang Fang bowed and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Huai."

……

Royal Garden.

Zhu Youtang walked in the exquisite imperial garden, his face showing no emotion, neither sad nor happy.

At this moment, another heavenly sound rang in his mind.

"Ding! Check-in location detected. Do you want to check-in?"

Zhu Youtang muttered silently: "Sign in!"

"Ding! A reward of 100,000 soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp has been placed in Changtong, and the loyalty level is at the maximum level!"

Zhu Youtang breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of heroism in his heart.

There are 30,000 factory guards inside and 100,000 trap camps outside.

The world is in your hands!
Needless to say, the Xianzhen Camp was a unique force in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It had a small number of people, but was extremely brave in combat. The entire army had only more than 800 people, all of whom were brave and good at fighting, and were well-equipped.

After Lu Bu escaped from Chang'an, he was able to make a comeback with only the help of the Eight Hundred Formations, leaving a significant mark on the historical stage of the struggle between dragons and tigers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Now Zhu Youtang has a hundred thousand soldiers in his camp and can sweep across the world in a blink of an eye!

Two footsteps were heard behind me, followed by a singing of greeting.

"Eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, Liang Fang requests to see you!"

"Xuan."

Zhu Youtang walked into a pavilion and sat down alone.

Liang Fang lowered her head and walked in front of Zhu Youtang, kneeling down and bowing properly.

"This old servant Liang Fang pays homage to His Majesty."

Zhu Youtang remained silent for a long time. Liang Fang could only remain kneeling, not daring to look up.

Zhu Youtang stared at Liang Fang, a murderous look flashing across his face.

This Liang Fang is guilty of a heinous crime!
In the 21st year of Chenghua, Emperor Xianzong went to inspect the inner treasury and found that it was empty. The savings accumulated over the Six Dynasties had all been squandered by Liang Fang and Wei Xing.

Emperor Xianzong doted on Concubine Wan and was also extremely tolerant of Liang Fang.

He did not make trouble, but just left a message: "I won't bother with you, but people who come after me will."

Liang Fang was very scared, so she lobbied Concubine Wan to persuade Emperor Xianzong to depose Crown Prince Zhu Youtang and make Prince Xing the crown prince instead.

Emperor Xianzong did have this idea in mind, which led to Huai'en's disobedience to the emperor's order.

That year, Mount Tai experienced seven consecutive earthquakes.

Emperor Xianzong was afraid, so the matter of changing the crown prince was not carried out.

If Liang Fang had succeeded at that time, Zhu Youtang would not even have been able to become emperor.

After a long while, Zhu Youtang finally spoke: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Zhou has asked me to ask why the memorials from this afternoon have not been sent back to the cabinet yet?"

Only after Liang Fang brought up the name of Empress Dowager Zhou did she feel the pressure was relieved a little.

When Zhu Youtang didn't speak just now, Liang Fang felt that the air around him was about to solidify and she almost couldn't breathe.

Zhu Youtang said calmly: "I think it is inappropriate, so I will keep the memorial."

Liang Fang was anxious and blurted out: "How can this be kept in China?"

"This is a memorial approved by Empress Dowager Zhou herself. It should be sent back to the cabinet as soon as possible!"

Zhu Youtang stared at Liang Fang expressionlessly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Don't dare!"

Liang Fang kowtowed twice more, then gritted his teeth and stretched his neck: "This is the order of the Grand Empress Dowager Zhou. I am only doing things for her."

"Grand Empress Dowager Zhou is already unhappy. I advise Your Majesty to send the memorial back to the cabinet as soon as possible."

Zhu Youtang laughed in anger: "Hahaha, Liang Fang, you're right. I want to ask you something."

"Does this world belong to me or to Empress Dowager Zhou?"

"Of course it is your Majesty, but now that your Majesty is young, the Empress Dowager Zhou should handle state affairs on your behalf."

Liang Fang was a little anxious: "Your Majesty can't delay any longer. If you make Empress Dowager Zhou unhappy, I'm afraid..."

Zhu Youtang sneered. How dare a mere eunuch threaten me?

Zhu Youtang had lost interest in the conversation and waved his hand: "Drag him away and behead him. Send his head to the Cining Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Huai En led several Dongchang men and quickly approached and captured Liang Fang.

Liang Fang didn't recover from her shock until she was pinned to the ground by the Dongchang men.

This little emperor actually wants to kill him?
Are you trying to rebel?
He is the Empress Dowager Zhou's man!
Liang Fang suddenly panicked, and emotions such as regret, fear, and terror surged into his heart.

His lower body was hot and wet, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even hold back his urine. He could only make shrill cries for mercy.

"Your Majesty! I am the Empress Dowager Zhou's servant. You can't kill me, you can't kill me, Your Majesty!"

"I am the commander of the Eastern Depot for Empress Dowager Zhou. If you kill me, Empress Dowager Zhou will definitely be angry!"

"Your Majesty! Think twice, Your Majesty!"
