Ten Princes' Mansions.

"What, Princess Le'an ran over the wall, and her whereabouts are unknown?"

The Empress Dowager Zheng glared at a chamberlain kneeling in front of her with some surprise, and then said angrily, "What a bunch of waste, there is more than enough success and more failure!" ”

Originally, the Empress Dowager Zheng thought that Empress Dowager Li and Concubine Li Zhuang were soft persimmons, but as a result, Empress Dowager Li and Concubine Li Zhuang prepared poisonous wine, as long as those pro-soldiers dared to approach the two, they would drink and commit suicide, which made the people who went to Ciqing Palace jealous and did not dare to act rashly.

This is nothing, Princess Zhu Huiyuan of Le'an actually fled under the noses of those pro-soldiers, which suddenly made the Empress Dowager Zheng angry and angry, so that her desire to use Empress Dowager Li, Concubine Li Zhuang and Zhu Huiyuan to threaten King Xin was all frustrated.

Although Empress Dowager Li and Concubine Li Zhuang were surrounded in Ciqing Palace, the Empress Dowager Zheng knew that Empress Dowager Li was an assertive person, and she acted low-key on weekdays but had a strong personality, and if she was strong, she would definitely commit suicide by drinking poisonous wine, which was not something she wanted to see, and no one dared to bear the charge of forcing the Empress Dowager to death.

"The Empress Dowager, the only way to do this is to break into the palace of King Xin, hoping to break through the mansion before the reinforcements from outside the city arrive!"

Zhang Fulun, who was sitting at the bottom of the house, knew that the situation was serious, so he stood up after a deep groan, and said in a deep voice to the Empress Dowager of the Zheng family, there was no other way than to storm the mansion of King Xin.

Moreover, this matter must be Zhang Fulun personally to suppress the formation, and desperately dispatch his elite to attack, if he can't capture the Xinwang Mansion in time, he will wait for the catastrophe to come, and be executed on the same charge of rebellion as Zhao Deguang, the Marquis of Wenshan.

"Queen Mother, now there is still room for maneuver, once you storm the mansion of King Xin, then it will be a great crime of rebellion." Hearing this, King Fu, who was sitting opposite Zhang Fulun, couldn't help but be a little worried and reminded the Empress Dowager Zheng.

Don't look at the current Empress Dowager Zheng let Zhang Fulun's pro-army besiege Xiyuan and the Ten Princes' Mansion, and wanted to force Empress Dowager Li and Concubine Li Zhuang to leave Ciqing Palace, but after all, there was no soldier to meet, so there was room for explanation.

And once the Empress Dowager Zheng ordered to besiege King Xin's mansion, the consequences would be serious, King Xin stayed in the mansion by the holy decree of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he was not allowed to leave without Zhang Yan's personal appearance, and the Empress Dowager Zheng did not have the right to let King Xin leave, otherwise it would be an out-and-out act of rebellion.

Although King Fu wants to be the emperor, he has not yet been carried away by desire, if King Xin has any accident when the army attacks, then the courtiers will definitely not support him to ascend the throne, and he is not allowed to summon foreign vassal kings to Beijing to "Jingnan".

After all, Emperor Wanli not only Emperor Taichang and his two sons, but his three brothers were also eligible to inherit the throne.

What worries King Fu the most is that even if Zhang Fulun personally goes to suppress the formation, he will not be able to capture King Xin's mansion in time, and when the reinforcements outside the city arrive, they will be wiped out.

"Believe in the prince, now the arrow has to be sent, there is still a chance to fight, otherwise the previous efforts will be wasted, and you will never be able to turn over!"

The corners of Zhang Fulun's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, if he stopped now, he would be empty, even if he was not punished, his career would be ruined, so he would definitely have to give it a go.

"Yes, Xin Guogong is reasonable, now we have no way out, otherwise we can only be slaughtered in the future, as long as you take the king of Xin, you will be the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty."

The Empress Dowager Zheng knew that the current situation was like a boat sailing against the current, and if she did not advance, she would retreat, so she said to King Fu in a deep voice that this would be King Fu's last chance to ascend the throne, and once she missed it, she would be hated for eternity.

"Queen mother, my son thinks that the emperor is right, now the Ming Dynasty is full of holes, and he needs a dilapidated and new ruler, and the son is too old to be serious, and it is difficult to bear the heavy responsibility of the Ming Dynasty."

King Fu knew that the Empress Dowager of the Zheng family and Zhang Fulun were unwilling to give up like this, and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid that the emperor has long been guarding against us, so he transferred the forbidden army into the city to protect it, if we start fighting, we will have no chance of winning." ”

"Xin Guogong, do you trust those of your men?" As he spoke, King Fu turned to Zhang Fulun and asked quietly.

"Of course, they were all pulled by the lower officials." Hearing this, Zhang Fulun replied confidently that he had absolute trust in his subordinates.

"The emperor is scheming, resourceful, and has been in charge of the court in just a few years, do you think the emperor will not have a backup hand at such a critical moment?"

Seeing that Zhang Fulun answered himself without thinking about it, King Fu sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that Zhang Fulun has been blinded by desire, and all kinds of troubles tonight are definitely not accidental.

"Lord Xin, do you mean that the emperor has placed eyeliner next to me?" After being reminded by King Fu, Zhang Fulun suddenly came to his senses, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, he had never thought of this.

"How smart is the emperor, Xin Guogong, who do you think the emperor trusts more than Wu Guogong?" King Fu pondered for a moment, stared at Zhang Fulun with a serious expression and asked.

"This ......" Zhang Fulun was dumbfounded when he heard this.

After the death of Emperor Wanli back then, Duke Wu Guogong stood on the side of Emperor Taichang, and now he will naturally stand in the camp of Emperor Apocalypse, and Emperor Apocalypse naturally believes in him more, but after the incident in Xiyuan, Emperor Wuguo did not transfer Duke Wu Guogong into the imperial city to guard, and it is quite strange to think about it now.

Obviously, Wu Guogong was on duty in the imperial city to ensure the safety of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and the imperial power, and Zhang Fulun would do the same.

"King Fu, are you saying that the emperor has been on guard for a long time?" The Empress Dowager of the Zheng family also realized this, and her expression couldn't help but panic.

"Mother, the child didn't think of this at first, but if the emperor is not fully prepared, how can he let the child come to Beijing to see you?"

Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of King Fu's mouth, and he said helplessly to the Empress Dowager of the Zheng Clan, and it was only at this time that he realized that he had fallen into the trap set by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"In this way, the emperor has already planted eyes and ears beside Xin Guogong!" The Empress Dowager of the Zheng clan suddenly gasped when she heard this, if this is the case, everything tonight is a trap set by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"No wonder Young Master Li suddenly returned home, it turned out to create an opportunity for us!"

At this time, Zhang Fulun also realized that something was wrong, and couldn't help but look at the Empress Dowager of the Zheng family in amazement, the time for Li Hongyu to go back is too strange now, if Li Hongyu is in the imperial city, he may not dare to do this, and the Empress Dowager of the Zheng family may also be afraid.

In fact, if Li Hongyu was in the Imperial City, he would not have allowed tonight's incident to happen at all, and with his prestige, even Zhang Fulun's subordinates would not dare to disobey.

"Did the emperor die?" Then, Zhang Fulun remembered something, his face suddenly became ugly, and he looked at the Empress Dowager Zheng with a shocked face.

Because Xiyuan was guarded by the forbidden army, the Empress Dowager Zheng did not know the truth inside, but only intercepted the inner attendant who reported the funeral to the outside world, and learned the news of the Emperor of the Apocalypse Bintian from him, and the inner attendant who reported the funeral did not see the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse with her own eyes.

If everything tonight is a bureau set up by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, then the Empress Dowager of the Zheng family and the others have already taken the bait, and then the Emperor of the Apocalypse will have enough reasons to execute King Fu and solve this existence that threatens the imperial power once and for all.

"Let the mourning family think about it!" The Empress Dowager Zheng's face also turned pale in an instant, if the Emperor of the Apocalypse hadn't died, then their current behavior would be like clowns jumping off the beam.

"Queen Mother, we despise the emperor, the emperor can play those civil officials in the court, and there will definitely be no hidden dangers, maybe the emperor is waiting for us to go to war now, in that case, he can deal with us logically."

King Fu thought of the meaningful words that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had said to him yesterday, and asked him to leave the capital as soon as possible, which made him have to suspect that everything was a trick by the Emperor of the Apocalypse to lure the enemy, and its purpose was to remove obstacles on the way to the throne for King Xin.

"The Empress Dowager, what Prince Fu said is right, tonight's events are too strange, it may be a trap set by the emperor, just waiting for us to drill into it!"

When Zhang Fulun heard this, cold sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead, and he felt frightened, and hurriedly said to the Empress Dowager of the Zheng family, if this is really the case, his current head is equivalent to pinning it to the belt of his trousers, and it may fall off at any time.

Thinking of the Emperor of the Apocalypse playing with the civil official group in the court, Zhang Fulun now couldn't help but suspect that the people around him had the eyes and ears of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and his every move was monitored.

Perhaps, those people are waiting for him to give the order to go to war, as long as he gives this order, then those people will immediately arrest him and send him to the Emperor of the Apocalypse or the King of Letters to ask for merit.

Although Zhang Fulun wanted to win the glory and wealth of the rest of his life by virtue of the dragon's skill, he couldn't help but feel afraid in the face of a situation where there was no chance of winning, you must know that the fate of more than 200 people up and down the Xinguo Mansion was in his hands, as long as he made a wrong step, those people would lose their heads.

"Is that all?" The Empress Dowager of the Zheng family has no bottom in her heart, and she is acting too smoothly tonight, which is really a bit abnormal, but she is still unwilling, as early as when the Wanli Dynasty was fighting for the country, she wanted to let King Fu inherit the throne.

"Queen Mother, now things have not reached the point of being out of control, maybe now the Hongyi cannon has been set up outside the Daming Gate, as long as we do it inside, the forbidden army in the city will release a signal, and then the Hongyi cannon will ring, before we capture the Xinwang Mansion and Xiyuan, they will come."

King Fu also felt regretful in his heart, but if Emperor Qi's knife was on his neck today, he couldn't help but have other thoughts, so he persuaded in a deep voice that it was urgent to save his life.

If the Emperor of the Apocalypse hadn't died, now was the time when their hearts were at their most ruthless, and if they angered the Emperor of the Apocalypse, they would definitely die.
