Zhu Zhang's wait-and-see is not an exception, other vassal kings are also waiting, and even many officials in the capital are not interested in political affairs, worrying about the future of the Ming Dynasty every day.

Because Guo Cheng was in charge of the Ministry of Posts, the telegrams of the two capitals and 17 provinces of the Ming Dynasty had to pass through his hands, so he had the most accurate and fast grasp of the news of the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Cheng found clues in the chaotic telegrams, a huge problem that may affect the future situation of the entire Ming Dynasty.

His Majesty the Emperor has not had a new telegram for three days in a row!

This is a very important event, and under normal circumstances, His Majesty the Emperor publishes at least a dozen to dozens of telegrams every day through a telegraph network scattered all over the country.

There are the latest instructions, the latest instructions, the appointment and dismissal of officials of the DPRK and China, and the congratulations on the victories of the various fleets.

Guo Cheng suddenly encountered this abnormal situation, and immediately couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly discussed with his father Guo Yanli.

As everyone knows, Guo Yanli, as the head of the Criminal Department, has long sensed that something is wrong.

Because the list of autumn executions recently submitted by the Criminal Department has not been approved for two days.

This was never possible before!

Whether it is the old emperor or the new emperor, they take the matter of "life and death" very seriously, not only never fake their hands to others, but also approve them at the first time.

Sometimes it is to check off the suspicious people and let them not review. Sometimes some people who are not serious are pardoned and sent to the Golden Continent or the frontier to be punished for meritorious service.

However, this time it was unusually delayed for two days, which made the entire criminal department panic.

Therefore, when Guo Yanli heard the meaning of his son's words, he just scolded angrily.

"Shut up!"

"As a minister, how can we talk about Your Majesty's privacy!"

"But Daddy...... Your Majesty has indeed not heard from you for a few days......"

"If there is no news, there is no news, we can only wait as courtiers, and we can't speculate!"

When Guo Cheng saw his father say this, he could only sigh and retreat.

"Well, my son understands!"

Seeing his son's posture, Guo Yanli thought about it and said a few words.

"Son, Dad knows that you are worried, but in this situation, only loyalty to duty is the greatest reward to Your Majesty!"

"We can't have other thoughts as courtiers, no matter what happens to the Ming Dynasty in the future, we must abide by our duties as courtiers......"

Guo Cheng nodded heavily when he heard this.

"Yes!"

"The son remembers his father's teachings!"

Guo Yanli saw that his son really understood, so he waved his hand at him.

"Go ahead!"

"Do a good job for the court, don't talk about today's topic with anyone!"

"Yes......"

After Guo Yanli sent his son away, his determined expression immediately collapsed.

He walked out of the house that the torture department had given him, and stood in the courtyard looking at the exquisite two-story building in front of him.

The house occupies a small area, only half an acre in size, but it is the greatest reward for his decades of hard work.

When Guo Yanli looked at the house in a daze, his wife hurriedly ran out and put a dress on him.

"Master, with such a strong wind, you are not afraid of catching a cold?"

Mrs. Guo helped the old man put on his clothes, and when she saw the old man in a daze at the house, she couldn't help but ask.

"Sir, what are you looking at?"

Guo Yanli opened his mouth a little stunned when he heard this.

"See the ...... of the house"

When Mrs. Guo heard this, her face immediately filled with a smile.

"Yes, we really should take a good look at this house, this is a public house rewarded to us by the imperial court, there are so many people in the Criminal Department, only the master and the other nine people have caught it, and even Shangshu has not been fished, giggle......"

"But this is also thanks to the imperial wife...... No, if it weren't for Your Majesty's war to renovate the old city, you wouldn't have planned enough places for us to build houses. ”

"Your Majesty is really a once-in-a-century holy monarch, I really hope that Your Majesty can live a long life, bah, your Majesty must live for a long time......"

Guo Yanli listened to his old wife's chatter, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, because he heard a rumor that if something happened to His Majesty the Emperor, then the person who could inherit the unification the most in the future would be Zhu Yunwen.

Once Zhu Yunwen came to power, he not only had to reclaim all the houses, but also to restore the decrees of His Majesty the old emperor.

What were the decrees of the old emperor?

Few people can know about this problem, but all officials in the Ming Dynasty know one thing, that is, live more, work harder, and have less money.

Therefore, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are in a kind of entanglement. One wants to meet the new master, brush up on the face in front of the new master, and hate the new master, afraid that the new master will take away the benefits they have received.

Therefore, after the entanglement, all the officials reached a consensus, that is, to silently pray for His Majesty the Emperor, praying that his auspicious star Gao Zhao could send back the good news as soon as possible.

Compared with the entanglement of Guo Yanli's family, the princess's mansion in the capital is also gloomy.

Princess Ningguo and her husband Mei Yin have long been labeled as Zhu Yunxi by Lao Zhu.

Therefore, as long as Zhu Yunxi has an accident, no matter who comes to power, the two of them will not have a good life.

On this day, Princess Ningguo came to visit the suburbs of Beijing again, and brought her husband Mei Yin his favorite dishes.

"Husband, have you heard any rumors lately?"

"The wind?"

"I'm busy training soldiers every day, how can I have time to run out and listen to the wind?"

"Father didn't give you any special instructions?"

"Yes!"

"What's there?"

Mei Yin shook his head firmly and said.

"Can't tell!"

When Princess Ning Guo heard this, she was so angry that the roots of her teeth itched.

"You and I are husband and wife, what can't you say!"

"Say it quickly, otherwise Hugh will enter our door in the future!"

When Mei Yin heard this, she could only pretend to be deaf and dumb to open the food box, and when she saw her favorite fried pork with bamboo shoots, she immediately grinned.

"It's still the princess who is careful, and knows that I love to eat this the most, hehehe......"

Seeing this, Princess Ning Guo angrily took the food box away.

"If you don't say it, you won't be allowed to eat today!"

Mei Yin saw that Princess Ningguo was really angry, so she could only explain stubbornly.

"Princess, there are some things that you really can't say, you know one thing, Your Majesty has made all the preparations, enough to deal with anything that happens in the future!"

Princess Ning Guo snorted coldly when she heard this.

"I don't believe it, can my father even decide on the candidate for the future prince?"

Mei Yin's face changed greatly when she heard this, and she hurriedly looked outside, and saw that there was no one outside the window, so she shouted fiercely.

"Shut up!"

"How can you say such a rebellious statement!"

"Your Majesty's Holy Body Kangtai, what do you need for a prince!"

When Princess Ning Guo saw her husband say this, she immediately turned red with grievances.

"Now many people in the capital know that Zhu Yunxi has an accident, only you are hiding it from me, woo woo woo ......"

Mei Yin hurriedly denied it when he heard this.

"Rumors!"

"Don't believe them, and don't go along with them."

"Our family is noble enough, we can't ask for more!"

Princess Ning Guo said unconvinced when she heard this.

"I am a princess, no matter who is the emperor, I am the eldest princess and the emperor's aunt."

"But what about our children?"

"Our child is not surnamed Zhu, but surnamed Mei of your Mei family!"

"If we can't win favor with Xinjun, our children are destined to do nothing in the future!"

Mei Yin sighed gloomily when she heard this.

"It's better to do nothing than to give up your life in vain!"

Seeing that her husband was so loyal and stubborn, Princess Ningguo was so angry that she kicked over the food box, and then left crying.

When Mei Yin saw the wine and food that had been spilled all over the ground, he said that he was sorry, and ordered someone to clean it up, and then went to the canteen to eat with a group of officers.

In fact, Mei Yin was not worried, he had already eaten the reassuring pill handed to him by Zhang Zongjun, and knew that everything was in someone's hands now.

But these words can't be said to Princess Ningguo, not even to His Majesty.

When Mei Yin was eating and drinking with the army robes, Li Qi, the captain of the other military camp, was not in such a good mood.

After Li Qi had been training in the army for several years, Zhu Yunxi handed over the training of the entire Jing Navy to him.

Therefore, he is now the Admiral of the Jing Navy.

This not only proves that he has re-participated in the government and successfully become the new monarch's team, but also an old minister of the palace.

No matter how you look at it, he is a rising star, revitalizing the hope of the Li family.

Unexpectedly, it was during this critical period that he heard rumors that were unfavorable to Zhu Yunxi.

"Li Qi, have you thought about it?"

"Let me tell you, I heard that Zhu Yunxi was assassinated in a Kang place in the Western Regions, and now the imperial court is holding the news, because it is afraid that the fleet at sea will have abnormal movements, and plans to transfer them all back to announce Zhu Yunxi's death!"

Li Qi shook his head in disbelief when he heard this.

"Impossible!"

"The imperial court has never issued an order to reduce the number of troops, and today my letter requesting conscription from eastern Zhejiang has been approved, allowing me to continue to expand the scope of conscription......

Princess Lin'an sneered when she heard this.

"Are you stupid?"

"This is my father's order to stabilize you and the navy that is fighting abroad!"

"After all, the navy is different from other armies, if you stay overseas, you won't come, and if you build a country overseas, the Ming court will not be able to reach it."

"So stabilize you first, and I'm slowly cleaning you up!"

"Really?"

Li Qi saw that his wife had made a promise, and he was in a trance for a while.

Seeing this, Princess Lin'an hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"If the rumors are true, then the most likely successor to Zhu Yunxi is Zhu Yunxi."

Of course, Zhu Yunxi is also a bit of a possibility. However, he is not very good in terms of age or reputation, and he should not be able to compete with Zhu Yunwen......"

Li Qi said unconvinced when he heard this.

"Isn't there still Zhu Wengui?"

"This is Your Majesty's own son, with him, he can't take the turn of others!"

Princess Lin'an slapped Li Qi angrily when she heard this.

"Are you stupid!"

"How old is my father, where is the time to cultivate Wengui?"

"The best result is to pass the throne to Ju Yoon-wen, and when Moon Gyu grows up, he will pass it to Moon Gyu......"

"But if you think about it, is this kind of thing reliable?"

"Let's not talk about whether my father can do this, even if my father does this, do you think Zhu Yunwen will honestly pass the throne to Wen Gui?"

"I estimate that if my father really dares to do this, Zhu Yunwen will be able to make Wen Gui not live to adulthood!"

Li Qi sighed helplessly when he heard this.

Although he didn't like to listen to what Princess Lin'an said, he also had to admit that what Princess Lin'an said might be the final result.

Because for the current Da Ming, there is no choice.

Passing on the throne to Zhu Yunwen can also ensure the succession of the emperor's eldest son.

But if the throne is passed to Zhu Wengui......

How does a milk doll govern the country?

Even if his father gave him enough auxiliary ministers and allowed his mother to listen to the government, there would be more people who would not make him live to adulthood!

Therefore, for the father, the safest thing is to directly abolish the legitimacy of Zhu Wengui's succession and transfer the throne from Zhu Yunxi's line to Zhu Yunxi's side.

In this way, we can ensure the vitality of Zhu Wengui!

"Husband, I have already hooked up with Zhu Yunwen's daughter-in-law, they are very interested in you, as long as you write a letter of allegiance to Zhu Yunwen, they promise to treat you well in the future!"

When Li Qi heard this, he looked at his daughter-in-law in disbelief.

"You're crazy to contact them!"

"Our family relies on Zhu Yunxi so much, how can we betray Zhu Yunxi!"

Princess Lin'an said angrily when she heard this.

"Do you think I want to?"

"Now it's Zhu Yunxi who can't do it, if he lives well, I'll only take care of Chang Qinyin's cheap maid when I'm full!"

"Think about it, anyway, I'm going to give you a way out, if it's not rare, our family will wait for Zhu Yunxi's funeral!"

When Li Qi heard this, he sighed helplessly again, and then covered his face and cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty, why are you ...... Woowoo woo ......"

"The sky has no eyes, why don't you let me mention Your Majesty to die, woo woo woo ......"

Princess Lin'an saw Li Qi crying so sadly, and she also wiped her tears.

"If there is another choice, who wants to deal with the son of a......"

"Do you think I'm going to feel good about doing this?"

"Yunxi, this child, every time she sees me, she is called by her aunt, and she takes good care of us and our children, and the gifts for the New Year have never been broken......"

"Let's not say anything else, even if Yunxi's child can be ten years old now, let's all protect him from the throne, woo woo woo ......"

Forbidden city.

Lao Zhu looked at the information gathered by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Lin'an, the two of them can say these words, and the two of them have a conscience."

"It's just that Lin'an's love of drilling camp is really annoying, and now there is no rumor, so I started to look for a home, it's really in vain that our eldest grandson has called her aunt for so many years."

Qin Deshun said with a smile when he heard this.

"Your Majesty is still too harsh on Lin'an, and now the situation in the DPRK and China is confusing, and it is understandable that His Royal Highness Lin'an has some other thoughts."

Lao Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this, picked up Mei Yin's report and shook it.

"It's also the royal son-in-law, look at how Mei Yin handled this matter!"

"Not only did he not listen to his daughter-in-law's words, but he persuaded his daughter-in-law to keep her duty, this is the person who does great things!"

"Spread the decree, give Mei Yin a unicorn suit, a pair of jade!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to be appeased by the Lin'an couple?"

"His Royal Highness Lin'an is right in saying one thing, that is, the Jing Navy is indeed very important. If Admiral Jing Hai is shaken in his mind, then it will be difficult to say anything about the entire Jing Navy. ”

As soon as Lao Zhu heard this, his old face pulled down.

"We want to reward each of them with ten big-eared scrapers!"

"A woman with a long tongue, who gossips about the east and west all day long. One only knows how to cry, and has no opinion at all! ”

"Forget about these two, let's reward our good grandson."

"Which one?"

Lao Zhu's face turned cold suddenly when he heard this.

"Of course it's Zhu Yunwen!"

"Didn't he all figure out how to subdue the generals?"
