Zhao Yan, Xia Yunyi, Chen Zilong, Zhou Yuji, and Sun Yingyuan were not only local power factions, but also staunch reformers.

Among them, Zhou Yuji and Sun Yingyuan, the two powerful military towns, were pulled up by Zhang Gui, and now one has heavy troops in Denglai and the other has heavy troops in southern Liaoning.

Therefore, after these people first learned the news of the emperor's great progress, they all came to Zhang Gui urgently, in order to get Zhang Gui's instructions to determine whether there would be major changes in the court situation in the future, or whether he should be more bold within his authority.

"Your Majesty is gradual, but now the new policy is being implemented throughout the country, in the eyes of Uncle Guo, what should we prepare for those of us who are on the political side? Do some of the decrees need to be expedited? ”

Xia Yunyi asked about Zhang Guilai first at this time.

Zhao Yan also said: "That's right, should the big clans in Zhejiang and Nanjing be closely monitored, so as not to let these people take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble?" ”

Zhou Yuji said: "Jinglu (Sun Chuanting) also asked the humble post to ask, whether to let Liaonan transfer back some reliable soldiers and horses this year to Jinggi?" ”

Sun Yingyuan also said: "The sailors who came here, should they also strengthen their patrols at Dagukou?" ”

Zhang Guidao: "There is no need to mobilize soldiers and horses for the time being, but more sailors can be sent along the river to keep an eye on them, and in addition, the Jiangnan side can also strengthen surveillance, but the rest, such as the implementation of the new policy, is still according to the original plan, don't worry too much, no matter what the situation is, it will not hinder the overall situation." ”

These governors and commanders all said yes.

Zhang Gui then continued to rush to Jingshi.

As soon as he returned to Beijing, Wen Zhenmeng, Han Qi and others greeted him: "Uncle Guo, according to Duke Wei, Your Majesty has begun to skip meals and can't get out of bed, and people's hearts are uncertain at the moment. ”

"Get in the car and talk as you go!"

Zhang Gui let Wen Zhenmeng and Han Jue get into his sedan chair.

And he also got a general understanding of the current situation in the DPRK and China through these people.

However, when Zhang Gui went into the West Garden to directly ask for the Apocalypse, he saw that King De was also walking in the direction of the Qinzheng Hall in the West Garden.

Seeing this, Zhang Gui asked Wei Zhongxian, who had come to pick him up: "When did His Royal Highness King De enter Beijing?" ”

"Kyo a month forward!"

"Moreover, since he knew that the emperor was sick, he had to go to the palace almost every once in a while to see the emperor."

Wei Zhongxian replied.

Zhang Gui didn't say anything more after hearing this.

"Your Majesty!"

And after Zhang Gui saw the apocalypse, he saw that the apocalypse was already pale, and even his smile was a little stiff.

After Zhang Gui called for this, Tianqi asked weakly: "Have the affairs of Shandong and Jiangnan been dealt with?" ”

"Taken care of."

Zhang Gui replied.

"What about Jiangxi?"

Apocalypse asked.

Zhang Guidao: "Because I learned that His Majesty's Holy Body was sick, I didn't go and hurried back to Beijing." Only let Zhang Guowei go to the ministers in the praise of Langzhong. 'Pigs and dogs are not as good' This person has been cut by the minister, and Jiangxi must be fine. ”

"That's good."

Apocalypse nodded.

King De, who was present, turned cold after hearing this.

Because he knows who Zhang Gui's 'pig and dog are not as good as' refers to.

Not only King De, but also the four kings of Qin, Heng, Jing, and Jin who were present also showed displeasure.

After all, King Yi and them are of the same class, so it is inevitable that Zhang Gui and Tianqi are too mean and ruthless.

Zhang Gui didn't expect that so many kings would come to see the apocalypse.

After looking at Wang Tianqi, Zhang Gui also asked Wei Zhongxian: "Why are there so many vassal kings in Jingshi?" ”

Wei Zhongxian replied: "After the imperial court reformed the clan system and allowed the children of the clan to enter Beijing in the name of entering the sect to study, recently, because they heard that the emperor was in bad health, many princes and princes entered Beijing on this ground. ”

Zhang Gui nodded after hearing this.

"Since Yuanfu, Uncle Zhang Guo, Gonggong Wei and other cabinet elders are here, as well as us princes, it is better to take this opportunity to discuss the future."

And just when Zhang Gui and Wei Zhongxian were chatting, King Qin said something at this time.

Han Yi, Yuan Keli, Chen Zizhuang and other courtiers who came out with Zhang Gui, Wei Zhongxian and others all stopped with Zhang Gui and Wei Zhongxian after hearing this.

And the vassal kings didn't stop at all.

Chen Zizhuang asked first: "What will happen in the future?" However, even if you want to discuss it, it won't be your Royal Highness's turn, right? ”

"It's about my Zhu family, why can't we discuss it?"

"According to the ancestral teachings, if there are traitors in the court, we can still be martyred!"

King Qin asked at this time, and argued with Chen Zizhuang.

King De also pulled King Qin because of this.

But King Qin only waved his sleeves and said, "Don't pull Lonely!" What can't you say! Could it be that because Lone said such a sentence, they would also be instigated by His Majesty to give Lone a name like 'Pig and Dog is not as good'? ”

Saying that, King Qin walked up to Zhang Gui first and said, "Uncle Zhang! Your Majesty is now in a big way, and the early determination of a new monarch is undoubtedly the first priority at the moment. Although, this dynasty has already set a prince. But the country should be a long monarch, not to mention, now that the imperial court is the most important time for the reform of Zhongxing, presumably the uncle of the country will not hope for it, because the prince is young, and all this has fallen short. Therefore, the meaning of our clan relatives should still be to let His Majesty pass on to his younger brother rather than to his son. ”

For a while, after King Qin said this, the ministers present, not only Zhang Gui, but others were also shocked.

After hearing this, Zhang Gui smiled and said, "Your Majesty hasn't collapsed yet, why are you in such a hurry." ”

King Qin said: "It is related to the future of the Zongmiao Society, how can you be contemptuous? In the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty is still the Ming of the Zhu family, and our clan relatives naturally have to be more attentive than those of you who are courtiers. ”

Saying that, King Qin said again: "Uncle Gu is worried that once King Xin ascends the throne, it will ruin the current new policy, and it will be difficult to have the current power. What's this, in fact, Gu has already got the meaning of King Xin, King Xin promised, if he ascends the throne, he will first promise never to betray the new policy, and will use the merit of the dragon to seal the uncle of the country as the king of the county, and for the Biansai Domain. In this way, you can be regarded as a lonely person like us, and even more powerful than us. ”

Then, King Qin smiled again: "Uncle Guo thinks about it? ”

"Do you still need to think about it? How can I let the crown prince lose his throne! ”

Zhang Gui bluntly rejected the King of Qin.

Syllable!

King Qin suddenly rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and suddenly slapped Zhang Gui in the face, and scolded: "You are a lowly person from a small family, but because of the phoenix in your own family, you really take yourself seriously!" Now it's just for the sake of you being the prince's uncle and mother, giving you good words to discuss, in the final analysis, you are just a dog of my Zhu family! This world is my Zhu family! Whoever preaches it is not up to you! ”

King Qin's slap stunned Zhang Gui.

Han Yi and other ministers and other vassal kings were also confused.

King De reacted quickly and said busily: "Uncle Guo! This matter is reckless by King Qin, but he is the prince in the end, please don't worry about him. ”

At this time, King Heng also said: "Yes, Uncle Guo, you should be generous, we are a clan after all." ”

Zhang Gui, whose face was hot and painful, sneered: "He is taking the opportunity to plot chaos, do you say that the public of the country can tolerate it?" ”
