Due to Emperor Xuande's weak health, Empress Dowager Zhang did not stay for long, and after greeting Emperor Xuande for a while, she led Empress Hu away, while Empress Sun stayed to take care of Emperor Xuande.

"Knock on the emperor." Just as Emperor Xuande and Empress Sun were talking, Chen Shan, an assistant minister of the cabinet, and a lean man wearing a seven-grade official robe entered the house and knelt in front of the warm couch to salute.

"You stand down first." Emperor Xuande's affairs, Chen Shan and the lean man got up, and quietly ordered Jin Ying.

Jin Ying was stunned for a moment when he heard this, Emperor Xuande meant to avoid him too, this situation was very rare, and then he bowed down and retreated, with his understanding of Emperor Xuande, it seems that Emperor Xuande has important things to explain to Chen Shan.

"Song Jinshi, the purpose." After Jin Ying and the others left, Emperor Xuande coughed and said to the lean man.

The lean man bowed down when he heard this, and came to the desk next to him, where a blank holy decree and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were already prepared.

This lean man is a Shu Ji Shi who is in the same class as Fang Liang, named Song Lun, who is quiet and quiet on weekdays, and is not prominent among the new batch of Shu Ji Shi, and he is very surprised to be reported by Emperor Xuande.

Song Lun has been in Wenyuan Pavilion for so long, so he naturally knows that Emperor Xuande's physical condition is very bad, he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and privately sneers at Su Bolang's blessing for Emperor Xuande, thinking that Su Bolang is just pretending to be a ghost.

Therefore, Song Lun, who was standing in front of the desk, was in a surging mood at this time, if he didn't guess wrong, Emperor Xuande wanted him to write a testament, which was a supreme glorious thing, enough to glorify the ancestors.

While Song Lun was nervously waiting, Emperor Xuande coughed and said the content of the holy decree.

Song Lun naturally did not record Emperor Xuande's words as they were, the imperial court's decrees all had a specific format, and he needed to polish Emperor Xuande's words, but he could not change the original intention of Emperor Xuande's decrees.

To Song Lun's surprise, Emperor Xuande issued two holy decrees, the contents of the two holy decrees were diametrically opposed, but they both involved the same person, that is, Li Yuntian, the prince of Zhenguo.

Not only Song Lun, but also Empress Sun and Chen Shan were puzzled by these two decrees of Emperor Xuande, after all, Li Yuntian had already died in the fire in the prison of the Gyeonggi Governor's Palace, and then the two were surprised to realize an incredible fact - Li Yuntian did not die in the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Palace.

In the first edict, Emperor Xuande regarded Li Yuntian as a criminal minister who colluded with the Northern Yuan Dynasty and intended to rebel, and secretly planned the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion to exonerate him, beheaded him, and exiled his family to the northwest.

In the second holy decree, Li Yuntian was a loyal hero to the Ming Dynasty, who escaped from the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, and was not only reinstated as an official, but also became the king of Zhongwu and the prince and prince by virtue of his meritorious service in quelling the Han king, the Jiaozhi rebellion and defeating the main force of the Northern Yuan army.

After the two holy decrees were drafted, Song Lun read them aloud, and Emperor Xuande confirmed that they were in line with his wishes and asked Chen Shan to cover them with a jade seal, so that the two holy decrees officially had legal effect.

"This matter is very important, and it should not be passed on." Emperor Xuande still had something to explain to Empress Sun, and said with a stern expression before letting Chen Shan and Song Lun retreat.

"Obey." Chen Shan and Song Lun naturally knew the severity of the situation, so they hurriedly bowed down and left the Dongnuan Pavilion backwards.

Song Lun finally understood why Emperor Xuande chose him who was not well known, because he was the most inconspicuous of the Shujishi, so his social relations were simple, and he had no intersection with the various factions in the imperial court, so he was the best candidate for the proposed purpose.

Just imagine, if the news of Li Yuntian's death spreads, it will cause a great sensation in the court, and if Emperor Xuande's two holy decrees are exposed, I am afraid that it will bring a catastrophe to the Ming Dynasty, and it is obvious that Li Yuntian will not sit still.

At the same time, he also knew the reason why Chen Shan appeared here, Chen Shan was Emperor Xuande's former minister when he was in the East Palace, and he could be described as the descendant of Emperor Xuande, although his ability and prestige were not as good as Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu and Jian Yi, Hu Ying and others, but he was Emperor Xuande's most trusted courtier in the court.

Chen Shan was picked up by Emperor Xuande, and he was a Confucian master, so he would never leak the news of Emperor Xuande's two holy decrees and Li Yuntian.

It can be seen that Emperor Xuande had good intentions in order to ensure that the news was not leaked, and found Chen Shan and Song Lun in the Manchu Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, is Zhenguo Gong not dead?" After Chen Shan and Song Lun left, Empress Sun suppressed the shock in her heart and looked at Emperor Xuande with a suspicious expression, this news was incredible.

"He escaped the fire." Emperor Xuande smiled slightly, coughed and said, "This matter is related to the Ming Dynasty, and you must not tell others, even the queen mother." ”

"The Queen Mother?" Empress Sun was taken aback, in Daming, there was probably no one more worthy of Emperor Xuande's trust than Empress Dowager Zhang, but Emperor Xuande even had to hide it from Empress Dowager Zhang, which made her puzzled.

"Remember, this matter involves the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, and you must not sue anyone." Emperor Xuande pondered for a moment and solemnly instructed Empress Sun.

Although Empress Dowager Zhang is the most trusted person of Emperor Xuande, King Yue is the biological son of Empress Dowager Zhang like him, and he has been with Empress Dowager Zhang longer than him, not to mention that Empress Dowager Zhang may favor King Yue on the issue of inheriting the throne.

Obviously, King Yue, like other court magnates, must have bought some eyeliner around Empress Dowager Zhang and in the palace to control the movements in the palace, Emperor Xuande must not let King Yue find out what he has guarded against, let alone let King Yue know that Li Yuntian is still alive, only in this way will those people with ill intentions hidden behind the scenes show their tails.

What is especially important is that if Empress Sun knew that King Yue had not left, she would definitely be flustered, even a fool could see the intention of King Yue's move, how could her abnormality be hidden from Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes? At that time, under the side of Empress Dowager Zhang, she may not be able to leak this secret.

"The concubine remembered." Empress Sun saw that Emperor Xuande's expression was solemn and didn't look like he was joking, so she nodded and agreed, Emperor Xuande must have a reason for doing this.

"Ahem, you have put away these two holy decrees, don't sue anyone, take them out at a critical moment." Emperor Xuande couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, glanced at the two holy decrees on the table, and said to Empress Sun while coughing.

"Your Majesty, when will the concubines use them?" Empress Sun was very puzzled by the two opposite decrees, and she didn't know how to use them.

"The crown prince is young, if someone threatens the crown prince's throne, let the prince of Zhenguo be reinstated, and if the prince ascends the throne, he will kill the prince of Zhenguo." Emperor Xuande's eyes flashed murderously, and he said to Empress Sun in a deep voice, in his opinion, whether to leave Li Yuntian depends on whether King Yue will compete with the crown prince for the throne.

Li Yuntian's escape from the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion made Emperor Xuande both relieved and shocked, he never imagined that Li Yuntian would be able to get out of the fire, which made him feel a little jealous of Li Yuntian in his heart, if what Li Yuntian said was true, it would be fine, but if this was Li Yuntian's secret plan to get out, then it was the crime of bullying the king, which meant that Li Yuntian wanted to plot wrong.

Although the young crown prince may face the suppression of King Yue, King Ning and various forces in the court after ascending the throne, in the eyes of Emperor Xuande, Li Yuntian, the "imperial teacher", is the most terrifying, and he will play with the prince in the palm of his hand.

In addition, the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion also gave Emperor Xuande a chance, that is, it was enough to prove that Li Yuntian was a traitor with bad intentions, otherwise how could he escape the fire, which gave Emperor Xuande a sufficient reason to kill Li Yuntian in court on the charge of rebellion, and minimize the impact on Jiangwutang and Xiaowujun.

It can be said that Li Yuntian's fate is tied to the body of King Yue, if King Yue returns to the capital after the death of Emperor Xuande, it means that he has a plan, and the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion is likely to be related to King Yue, then this is enough to prove Li Yuntian's loyalty to Emperor Xuande, and the reason why Li Yuntian was able to escape from the fire was purely a fluke.

As for whether it is possible for Li Yuntian to collude with King Yue, Emperor Xuande does not think that there is such a possibility, the reason is very simple, if Li Yuntian colludes with King Yue, he will definitely not enter the palace to face the saint, because after his death, Li Yuntian suddenly appears in the court to support King Yue, and he will receive unexpected miraculous effects.

"Your Majesty, does anyone want to compete with the crown prince?" Empress Sun had already understood what Emperor Xuande meant at this time, and her eyes suddenly showed a look of shock, since Zhu Qizhen was the crown prince, she never thought that this kind of thing would happen.

"I hope I'm wrong." Emperor Xuande did not answer Empress Sun directly, the corners of his mouth showed a trace of bitterness, the last thing he wanted to see was the crown prince and King Yue competing for the throne, one was a son and one was a brother, and the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat.

At the same time, Li Yuntian walked out of the palace from the Xihua Gate in the Taoist priest brought by Su Bolang, and outside the Xihua Gate, he stopped and looked at the Forbidden City shrouded in the night, and there was an irrepressible sadness in his heart.

Emperor Xuande's health was even worse than Li Yuntian expected, if he didn't guess wrong, Emperor Xuande was running out, this was probably the last time he saw Emperor Xuande, so he looked a little sad, no matter how he said that he and Emperor Xuande also had a friendship of more than ten years.

Out of the imperial city, Li Yuntian left the team in a secluded place, and soon disappeared into the vast night, he now has a lot of things to do, the first is to find clues from the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion and the robbery of King Yue, and find the hateful mastermind behind the scenes.

Li Yuntian wanted to know who secretly planned these two things, and it seemed that these two things were not related, but considering the identities of Li Yuntian and King Yue, then the other party's purpose was about to come out, and it was obvious that he was coming for the throne.

Based on Li Yuntian's understanding of King Yue, King Yue did not have the strength to plan the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, let alone the courage to kill the Jinyi guards who escorted him back to the domain, so Li Yuntian suspected that this was done by a certain force in the imperial court, and he wanted to dig it out and destroy it, not only for the stability of the Ming political situation, but also for the other party to pay the corresponding price for provoking himself.
