In October of the fifteenth year of Zhengde, a long procession entered through the Qianqing Gate of the Imperial Palace. The weather was a little cold, there were some snowflakes floating in the air, and when the cold wind blew, people shivered from the cold.

At this time, it was very cold in the north, and many people in the capital had to freeze to death every year. However, at this time, the palace was very lively, with rows of forbidden troops on both sides, and in the distance were some ministers, who were standing here to welcome the emperor back to Beijing.

"Your Majesty. Standing in front of all the officials is Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty. He was dressed thinly, and his skin was blown red and purple under the cold wind. Seeing the emperor's sedan chair approaching, the ministers knelt on the ground and saluted.

According to the rules, at this moment, the emperor should come out of the sedan chair and meet with the ministers, so that everyone can be exempted from courtesy. However, to everyone's surprise, the sedan chair was carried directly into the deep palace, and the emperor ignored these ministers. Yang Tinghe and the ministers had to continue to prostrate in place, maintaining a kneeling posture.

"Elder Yang Ge, what's going on?The emperor is in a bad mood?" After the emperor's sedan chair passed, a group of ministers stood up, and Jiang Mian walked to Yang Tinghe's side and asked in a low voice.

"The emperor's temper is not unknown to everyone, everyone is scattered. Yang Tinghe smiled, in his eyes, the emperor has always been like a child who doesn't grow up, and he is used to it when he wants to play it.

Jiang Mian and Liang Chu also looked at each other and smiled, thinking that what Shoufu said was also right, if the emperor didn't lose his temper one day, it would be called a strange thing.

They didn't know that Zhu Houzhao had fallen into the water in Qingjiangpu, and Fang Hong gave Jiang Bin a strict order not to allow anyone to leak the news of the emperor's serious illness. Of course, this news could not be concealed for a long time, and there were thousands of people accompanying him, and it was impossible for these people not to reveal their words at all.

Things were as Fang Hong expected, and within five days, the government and the opposition all knew the news that the emperor was seriously ill in the water. The speed with which the news spreads is simply jaw-dropping. Behind this, if no one is contributing to this, the fool will not believe it.

"Immortal Master, there has been a commotion outside, and all the ministers of the court are shouting to invite the emperor to come to the court. In the Qianqing Palace, Fang Hong sat on a chair, and Jiang Bin carefully knelt in front of him, his face covered with cold sweat.

"Let them go, ignore it. Fang Hong was flipping through a book, the imperial court has a collection of tens of millions, many of which are solitary, when he was bored, he looked for a book to read.

They also said...... We must quickly establish the prince, so as to ensure the stability of my Daming. Jiang Bin hesitated for a moment and continued. Seeing the emperor is not a big deal, the court has a cabinet to preside over the operation, and there is no need to worry about what goes wrong, but the matter of the prince is the top priority of a group of ministers.

Establish the prince, even if there is any accident in Zhengde, the country can be smoothly transitioned, and everyone will still be officials as usual, and it will not have any impact on everyone. Moreover, the most important thing is that the choice of the prince is also a way for everyone to strive for wealth.

Supporting the new emperor, that is equivalent to the dragon's work, as long as he does not die, he will definitely be able to ensure the prosperity of the family for several generations.

"Prince, then let them discuss it, but the tickets they sent are going to be suppressed, so don't worry about it. Fang Hong didn't raise his head, for the past few days, he has a certain understanding of the operation mode of the cabinet.

Although the Cabinet has great power, it only has the power to approve the memorandals sent to various localities, but it does not have the power to make decisions. After they had written their opinion on the song, they had to get the emperor's approval before the order could be carried out.

Even if the outside decides on the choice of the prince, without the emperor's approval, it is useless for them to fall out of the sky.

"Immortal Master, I'm afraid that those people will make a fuss, these civil officials are very stubborn and very difficult. Jiang Bin smiled bitterly, he had dealt with those literati for so long, and he knew the temper of those people very well.

"Stubborn temper, then what do I want from you? I raised you, but it's just to kill people. Hearing this, Fang Hong put down the book in his hand, raised his head and said to Jiang Bin.

Although he spoke in a flat tone, the hairs on Jiang Bin's back still stood up, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"Yes, the villain understands. Jiang Bin nodded heavily, he was already like this anyway, it was better to rely on the immortal master, maybe there was still a way to live.

"Very well, let's get out. Fang Hong smiled, the whole person looked harmless to humans and animals, but only Jiang Bin knew how terrible this person in front of him was. He scrambled to his feet and walked out the door.

After Jiang Bin left, Fang Hong also walked into the inner room, Zhu Houzhao was lying on the bed at this time, unconscious, and next to the bed, there was a purple-clothed man.

"What's going on, is there any way to be treated?" Fang Hong walked closer and asked. Zhu Houzhao can't die, once he dies, with his current strength, he will definitely not be able to escape being killed.

"It's basically impossible to be treated, so I can only continue my life. The man in purple frowned and shook his head. Zhu Houzhao is own dragon qi is damaged, his own life is noble, but after losing most of the dragon qi, his life and luck cannot be commensurate, and he has been counterattacked, even if his body is strong, it will quickly deteriorate.

"Then continue your life, how long can it last?" Fang Hong's heart sank, and even Zhang Zongyan couldn't do anything about it, which only showed that Zhu Houzhao was really powerless to return to the sky.

"I'll do my best, I should be able to last half a year, if he is often asleep, you use your divine power to dredge his body, maybe it will last a little longer. Zhang Zongyan pondered for a while before speaking slowly.

"Half a year is a little shorter. Fang Hong is still one step away from the manifestation realm, but he still has no clue how to take this step. Maybe you can understand it in the next moment, or maybe it will remain the same for ten or eight years, no one can say for sure.

"No one expected that this Zhu Houxi would assassinate the emperor, when Shinto existed, no god dared to do this. Zhang Zongyan stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and couldn't help smacking his lips.

At the beginning, he and the Quanzhen Taoist priests tampered with the Mandate of Heaven with the help of the imperial court, and if those gods could really assassinate Kublai Khan, then the Shinto would not be destroyed.

"These are all planned by those remnants of Shinto, and what happened to King Ning at the beginning, it was they who pushed behind it. And when they sacrificed to the sky, they sent people to make trouble, so that Zhu Houzhao's luck was greatly lost, and there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. Fang Hong shook his head, these calculations of the great powers of the Divine Dao were really linked one by one, and they started to plan early, and it was not unjust for himself and the others to be caught in the game.
