In the dormitory, a small stove was spitting blue flames, and on the stove, the medicine jar was steaming all over the city.

Wen Fangyan, the first assistant of the cabinet, walked out with a dark expression, and Yang Lin, a cabinet scholar waiting outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, immediately greeted him.

Yang Lin: "Shoufu, Your Majesty ....."

Wen Fangyan nodded secretly.

Yang Lin understood and said busily: "It's only been a few days, and he can't wait, it's not the appearance of a benevolent monarch!" ”

Wen Fangyan closed his eyes sadly and muttered, "I can't stop it...."

Yang Lin pinched Wen Fangyan's arm, "Shoufu, they are not at ease with the King of Zhongshun, you have to warn the prince, don't take this step, otherwise once Your Majesty wakes up, it will be two days and the same day, this will..."

Wen Fangyan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The prince is in charge of the country, and they are loyal to the king, they are right, Your Majesty can't hide it for too long, and now the grassland, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all using troops, if this is transmitted to the army, it will have an impact on the morale of the army...... There are also some major affairs of the court that must be signed by the emperor, especially the appointment of officials above the third rank..... They don't want to end up in a cloud of smoke....."

Yang Lin smiled coldly, "Since yesterday the prince appointed Jia Yucun as the left attendant of the household department and released Wang Yaozu from the prison, these people can't bear it, hum, a group of hypocrites chasing fame and fortune!" ”

These words were very harsh, but Wen Fangyan couldn't refute them, just shook his head.

"Yo, our Ming Dynasty has produced a great sage!"

At this moment, a somewhat yin and yang voice came from beside him.

Yang Lin hurriedly took a look, and saw Zhou Kun standing in front of the door of Wenyuan Pavilion, this son was appointed by the emperor in July as a minister, and he was the first official to jump out to respond to the king of Zhongshun on an errand in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhou Kun spoke, "You are a great sage, we are all villains and hypocrites who chase fame and fortune, but we have the Ming Dynasty in our hearts, and we want to share the worries of the imperial court, and dare to ask Yang Ge Lao, if the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne reaches the army, will it improve the morale of the army?" ”

Yang Lin was a police officer, "You are secretly changing concepts." ”

Zhou Kun: "Is there a difference?" ”

Yang Lian was stunned, "Did you talk to Shangguan like this!" ”

Zhou Kun smiled, "This official is the official of the Ministry of Officials, not the Ministry of Rites in charge of Yang Ge. As the saying goes, the country can't be without a king for a day, you should always understand what it means to talk about the country! ”

The green tendons on Yang Lin's forehead were constantly beating, and with a flick of his hand, he strode towards the East Palace!

The corners of Zhou Kun's mouth showed deep laugh lines.

Wen Fangyan glanced at him and said, "From now on, you don't have to be an errand in Wenyuan Pavilion, if someone asks, just say it's my words." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Kun's face immediately became gloomy.

Wen Fangyan spoke again, "In this year's official assessment, you are second-class. ”

Zhou Kun's face was even more ugly.

..........

"Peng!" With a crisp sound, Zhu Houjiong, the king of Zhongshun, slammed the tea bowl on the ground, smashed it, slapped his palm on the eucalyptus, and said viciously: "I don't know what to do, I dare to refuse this king!" ”

Zhu Houjiong, who thought he was holding Hou Xiaokang's handle, wrote a letter to him, and in order to show his sincerity, he told him in detail about Zheng Bo's situation, hoping to gain trust, and the two families cooperated with each other to explore the matter of water solubility.

Unexpectedly, Hou Xiaokang refused mercilessly, which not only made him feel embarrassed, but also made him angry in his heart, eager to reveal the matter immediately.

"Father, the king is angry, the most critical thing now is to push the prince to the throne, as long as the prince ascends the throne, our opportunity will come."

Zhu Houjiong turned around and asked, "How is it in the palace?" ”

"The Qianqing Palace is well defended, except for the prince and the first assistant, the queen mother can go in to visit, and several old doctors have never been out of the palace."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zaiyan smiled, "This shows that the emperor's condition is very dangerous!" ”

Zhu Houjiong also calmed down at this time, and said to Zhu Zaiji: "We have made a dangerous move, once we step into the void, the entire line of Zhongshun Wang will be over." ”

Zhu Zaiyan was stunned for a moment and said, "The prince is moved!" ”

Zhu Houjiong showed a hint of a smile.

Zhu Zaiyan turned around and poured a bowl of tea, and said: "When the matter ferments for three or two days, let's go to the next persuasion, and there will definitely be officials at the level of squire to follow at that time, so that many people will follow suit, after all, this is the merit of support, and the monstrous wealth is at your fingertips." Just think of a way to shut up Yang Lin and the others. ”

Zhu Houjiong: "Hmm. ”

Turned around and sat down on the chair under the window, took the tea bowl and took a sip, "The prince's biggest weakness is the lack of military support, but this problem is not big, after all, the forbidden army is reorganized by his hands, and there must be a backhand." In addition to the forbidden army, the Gyeonggi garrison only has 20,000 horses and horses stationed in the Ruishi battalion in the original Gyeongying camp, and the prince will definitely find a way to entrap them. ”

"Oh?"

A cold light immediately flashed in Zhu Zaiji's eyes, "It's cheap Jia again." ”

Zhu Houjiong stared at Zhu Zaijiong, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhu Zaiyan sighed silently, "The suppression of the Jia Family Chamber of Commerce has failed, and the Jia family's intelligence network has not found anything, and it is estimated that we will have to find a way from the East Factory."

Also, Zhongwu Bofu has been moving frequently recently, as soon as we made a move, those Xue family's servants and stewards were vacant, and some people lost their traces, and even the mansion was cleaned, I don't know who it is, but they can walk in front of me step by step, what a means! ”

Zhu Houjiong's eyes widened, "I told you, it's useless to play these little clevers." ”

Speaking of this, he pondered for a while before he continued: "There must be a pair of eyes staring at us around here, you can find a way to find him, as long as you poke this eye blind, don't worry that you can't win against this person behind the scenes." ”

Zhu Zaiji shook up, as if he had thought of something, and immediately stepped forward and whispered a few words in Zhu Houjiong's ear.

Zhu Houjiong didn't say a word, just looked at him for a long time before he squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "Okay!" ”

...........

The crown prince Zhu Wucheng sat in the small study of the Wenhua Palace, his face so calm that he couldn't see any expression.

Yang Lin knelt quietly in the main hall.

Liu Wenbin spoke, "Yang Ge was anxious for a while, and he didn't choose what to say, but it was also for the sake of the prince's reputation, and he asked His Royal Highness to forgive him." ”

Zhu Wucheng sighed and said, "This palace understands that the Pavilion Elder has worked hard these days, so go back and rest." ”

Yang Lin: "Your Highness, you have to think twice!" Don't ....."

"Come on! Send Yang Ge Lao home. ”

Wang An, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, led the two little yellow gatekeepers Yang Lin out.

Liu Wenbin hurriedly followed.

Looking at the disappeared backs of several people, Zhu Wucheng snorted coldly.

Zhu Wucheng sat there quietly, thought for a while, then picked up the pen, spread out the letterhead, and wrote.

"High in the Sky"
