Zhu Xiulin was deeply jealous of Yu Peizhong's energy, so he stopped Liu Jinzhong's questioning.

After all, if the emperor died without leaving an edict for succession, although Zhu Xiulin could draft an edict for succession, he would need Yu Peizhong to stand on the platform.

With Yu Peizhong, an old eunuch who has served the emperor for more than 40 years and has been in charge of the celebrant for nearly 20 years, is there anyone who doubts the legitimacy of the edict?

Even if there is, it will not be tenable at all, so Zhu Xiulin needs to win over Yu Peizhong.

In the emperor's bedroom, Zhu Xiulin stood far away, urging the imperial doctors to diagnose and treat the emperor.

Yu Peizhong is still loyal to the emperor after all, and after explaining clearly to Zhu Xiulin, he went to the emperor's bed to dress carefully, looking more filial than Zhu Xiulin, his own son.

At this time, Liu Jinzhong said beside Zhu Xiulin: "Your Highness, now that the situation is unstable, and the emperor is in danger, I have to rely on you inside and outside here!" ”

The situation is unstable, although he is the rightful heir, but at this moment Zhu Xiulin is still very worried in his heart.

Seeing that Zhu Xiulin didn't speak, Liu Jinzhong said cautiously: "Your Highness, the slave maid has something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”

"Say it!"

After getting permission, Liu Jinzhong spoke: "The slave maid thinks that in order to control the situation, His Highness should have his own people to control the situation!" ”

"And if you want to control the situation, you have to have soldiers in your hands!"

Zhu Xiulin's eyes flashed, he never expected that Liu Jinzhong, a eunuch, would be so bold, and controlling the army was something that he had never thought of as a prince.

But being able to control the army has a great temptation for Zhu Xiulin, and everyone knows that the barrel of a gun is a waist pole.

After examining Liu Jinzhong for a while, Zhu Xiulin said, "You go on!" ”

At this moment, Liu Jinzhong's back was also in a cold sweat, the emperor is not dead yet, and he now says that these can be regarded as rebellious moves.

"In the capital, the forbidden army responsible for the garrison of Gyeonggi needs the emperor's decree to be mobilized, and His Royal Highness can ask the celebrant to seal the edict and block the inside and outside of the capital!"

Blocking the inside and outside of the capital, in addition to isolating the outside world and interfering with the transfer of power, for Zhu Xiulin, it can also stop his eldest brother outside.

"There are 4,000 soldiers in the city, and His Royal Highness can order them to be under martial law in the capital, but this must be noted to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies!"

Liu Jinzhong's words helped Zhu Xiulin sort out his thoughts clearly, which gave him a direction to forge ahead.

Thinking about it, compared to the support of Huang Yucheng and others, it is more reassuring to master the knife and gun.

In fact, Liu Jinzhong deliberately ignored Huang Yucheng and others, and he wanted to monopolize the credit for helping Zhu Xiulin ascend the throne.

"What do you mean next?" Liu Jinzhong asked slowly.

Liu Jinzhong had already planned about this, so he only heard him say: "Your Highness, what we can do now is to let the celebrant supervise the edict!" ”

After saying this, Liu Jinzhong's gaze swept to Yu Peizhong in front of the emperor's bed.

At this moment, Zhu Xiulin also looked at Yu Peizhong, and only heard him say: "Transferring troops is a big deal, if Father-in-law Yu has any objections......

Seeing that Zhu Xiulin had doubts, Liu Jinzhong immediately said: "Your Highness, the slave maid Xichang has been waiting for His Highness, if anyone stops His Highness, the slave and maid are willing to destroy the scourge for His Highness!" ”

Liu Jinzhong is also ruthless enough, in comparison, Zhu Xiulin feels that he is too bold.

Now he has to consider a question, whether to adopt Liu Jinzhong's opinion, if Yu Peizhong really does not cooperate, it will undoubtedly be a coup d'état.

Coup d'état...... It's okay but it might cause a commotion, is it worth it?

Thinking that after success, he would be able to sit back and relax on his throne, Zhu Xiulin couldn't help but want to adopt it.

He needs Yu Peizhong to help him stand on the platform, even if Yu Peizhong does not cooperate in the end, Zhu Xiulin can put him under house arrest and finally force him to cooperate.

At this moment, Zhu Xiulin opened his mouth and asked, "There is a Jinyi guard outside, and you are from the West Factory...... Can you control the Jade Void Palace? "Zilang literature

Liu Jinzhong replied: "The slave maid brought twenty people, and now he is in the Xibei Palace, His Royal Highness only needs to call Yu Peizhong to the Xibei Hall for questioning, if he doesn't know the current affairs at that time...... You can take it down! ”

"Are you sure?"

When Zhu Xiulin asked this question, Liu Jinzhong knew that the other party had taken the bait, so he said firmly: "Back to Your Highness, it is absolutely foolproof!" ”

Zhu Xiulin nodded, and then said, "Good ......"

…………

A quarter of an hour later, in the west side hall of the Yuxu Palace, Yu Peizhong was pressed to the ground by six or seven eunuchs, and his face was full of grief and indignation.

Zhu Xiulin said that he had something important to discuss with him, so he asked him to come to the West Side Palace, who would have thought that it would become like this.

Regarding Zhu Xiulin's request, Yu Peizhong was really puzzled, could it be that this Royal Highness had water in his head?

The throne is almost destined to be his, so why should he make a big move and use the most brutal means to block the inside and outside of the capital.

Of course, Yu Peizhong was not unified, but he expressed his opposition to it, and after listening to Liu Jinzhong's shout, he was arrested by a group of eunuchs.

"Your Highness, you do this...... It's going to disturb the chaos in the capital! Yu Peizhong said indignantly.

The water in the capital is very deep, and now that the emperor has an accident, according to Zhu Xiulin's intentions, martial law inside and outside will only provoke the Qin Party to fight back regardless of the consequences.

Army...... It is the most unstable factor, in addition to the emperor can command, even the Governor's Office of the Five Armies cannot guarantee control.

The rash use of the army is likely to be counterproductive, after all, the army is also divided into factions to check and balance.

But at this moment, Liu Jinzhong would not give Yu Peizhong a chance, but only heard him say: "Your Highness, time is pressing...... Let's make an edict! ”

yes, it's all done, and there's no going back...... Zhu Xiulin sighed in his heart, and then the woodwind became firm.

Walking towards the outside of the side hall, Zhu Xiulin said: "Lock him in the side hall, and he is not allowed to see anyone!" ”

Then he and Liu Jinzhong went outside, leaving Yu Peizhong helpless.

He knew that Liu Jinzhong was ambitious, but Yu Peizhong really didn't expect that Liu Jinzhong was so bold that he actually provoked Zhu Xiulin to launch a coup d'état.

It's also ridiculous to think about it, obviously he is the heir to the throne of the empire, but Zhu Xiulin was bewitched by a eunuch and grabbed his own things.

Walking outside, Zhu Xiulin instructed Liu Jinzhong beside him: "You go to the celebrant to supervise the edict, let the forbidden army block the city gate, and let the soldiers and horses of the five cities be under martial law in the city, just say...... There is a White Lotus Sect against thieves! ”

I have to say that the White Lotus Sect is a very qualified backstabber.

"The slave and maid take the order, and this will be done!" Liu Jinzhong bowed and said.

Master of Ceremonies, he, Liu Jinzhong, is back again!

"Go, be quick...... Send it before it gets dark! Zhu Xiulin admonished.

"Yes!"

After Liu Jinzhong left, Zhu Xiulin's trembling heart gradually subsided, and now he has embarked on the road of no return!

After completing martial law inside and outside the capital, it was time for him to take control of the palace, and at that time it could be said that the overall situation was decided.

In order to control the palace, the key is to control the forbidden army guarding the palace wall, as well as the brocade guards in the palace.

Therefore, Zhu Xiulin's next goal is to win over several thousands of households who are now defending the imperial city, as well as Chen Xiaoting, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Of course, the most important thing is to win over Chen Xiaoting, after all, there are five or six thousand people up and down Jinyiwei in the city, and they are also a force to be reckoned with.

Coming to the steps outside the Jade Void Palace, looking at the imperial steps that seemed to be still bloody, Zhu Xiulin looked at the remnant sun in the distance.

His path to the emperor began just now!
