After King Yu and King Jing left one after another, I saw Lu Fang appear in front of Jiajing at the right time and call softly.

"Your Majesty!"

"Hmm."

Jiajing only responded to this quite perfunctorily, and then turned around and looked at the mess in this place.

After a long time, I saw Jiajing retract his gaze and commanded.

"Let's go back!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Lu Fang responded, he immediately kept up with Jiajing's pace.

……

Zhu Zaizhen didn't know how he got out of the Forbidden City.

When he came back to his senses, he suddenly found that he had unknowingly come to the outside of the Forbidden City.

At this moment, the sedan chair he was riding in earlier was still parked in place.

Everything that happened before was like a dream, which made Zhu Zaizhen feel in a trance!

But soon, a breeze blew, and a trace of coolness came from his back that made Zhu Zaizhen sober up.

"No, it's not a dream!"

"Everything that happened before is true, and my father asked me to go to the fiefdom immediately."

"In other words, all the planning and hard work I have put in for many years have been in vain!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Zaizhen's heart was like ashes, and his face showed a desperate expression at the right time.

"No, Zhu Zaizhen, you can't just give up!"

"Even if you are as noble as your father, you were once a vassal king, you just need to let your father see your ability and determination, and secretly wait for the opportunity."

After comforting himself, Zhu Zaizhen's expression returned to normal and walked towards the sedan chair not far away.

……

The capital, Yuwang's Mansion.

Zhu Zaikun took a sedan chair and returned to King Yu's mansion in despair, and Concubine Li, who had been waiting for news before, saw this and hurriedly greeted her.

Seeing this situation, she already had a rough idea in her heart, and she didn't say anything, just silently sorted out Zhu Zaikun's appearance and said softly.

"Husband is back, let's go rest for a while!"

"Hmm."

In the face of Concubine Li's enthusiasm, Zhu Zaikun was just like a walking corpse, and after answering, he stopped talking.

After Concubine Li led Zhu Zaikun to the room, the maid, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and brought exquisite pastries and tea.

Zhu Zaikun sat down in his seat, looking at the delicate pastries in front of him, as well as the steaming tea, the string in his heart was gently plucked.

There is no other reason, these pastries are all from Concubine Li's hands, and it can be seen from the little flour accidentally stained by Concubine Li.

"Thank you for your hard work."

I saw Zhu Zaikun holding Concubine Li's hands tightly, not allowing her to have the slightest chance to escape.

Seeing this, Concubine Li's face appeared a touch of red at the right time, paused, and then spoke.

"These are all things that a concubine should do."

When Zhu Zaikun heard this, he immediately took his eyes off Concubine Li's body, took her into his arms, and said slowly.

"Do you know, today my fourth brother and I disappointed my father......"

……

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and soon, the news that King Jing was about to go to the fiefdom to become a vassal came out.

And this, naturally, caused panic among many courtiers!

For a long time, there have been two main forces in the court, one is the Qingliu led by Xu Jie, and the other is the Yan Party led by Yan Song.

But in the final analysis, behind these two forces, there is a prince standing in each of them, namely King Yu and King Jing.

And the political tilt, in the final analysis, is a struggle for the prince and a struggle for the throne!

Right now, King Jing is about to go to the fiefdom to become a vassal, which means that he is about to leave the capital!

Once you are far away from the capital, the sensitivity to the surrounding information will be greatly reduced, which means that you will not be able to make corresponding decisions in the shortest possible time.

In other words, King Jing has lost the qualification to compete for the prince.

"It's over, have you heard, King Jing is about to go to the fiefdom to become a vassal."

"What, there is such a thing, it's all over now!"

"The next thing to greet us is the liquidation of the Qingliu faction!"

"What are you doing here, let's go to Yan Ge Lao to discuss countermeasures and see if we can find any way."

"Yes, yes, go find Yan Ge Lao, he will definitely have a way."

With such a mood, many officials rushed to Yan's mansion non-stop, wanting Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, to come forward and give everyone a solution.

At this moment, Yan Mansion.

I saw Yan Shifan hurriedly knocking on Yan Song's door and reporting.

"Father, father, it's not good, something is wrong!"

Yan Song was woken up by Yan Shifan's knock on the door, his face was full of displeasure, and then he opened the door and said coldly.

"It's so late, you don't sleep, what are you yelling here?"

Yan Shifan saw that Yan Song was angry, and the momentum on his body instantly weakened a little, and then lowered his voice.

"Father, something is wrong!"

"News has just come from the palace, King Jing's side will go to the fiefdom in a few days!"

"We bet on the wrong treasure!"

Who knew that Yan Song was not surprised by the news brought by Yan Shifan, but nodded and said calmly.

"As I expected, King Jing was defeated after all!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he prepared to return to the room to continue resting.

Who knew that Yan Shifan grabbed Yan Song's hand, and his face was full of eagerness.

"Father, what should we do next!"

"Right now, King Jing's side has fallen, will Xu Jie, and they take this opportunity to liquidate us?"

When Yan Song heard this, he glanced at Yan Shifan, and immediately ordered.

"Don't worry, it's okay, for now, we just need to wait and see what happens."

After Yan Song said this, he yawned, his eyes seemed to be closed, and continued.

"It's so late, you should go to bed early!"

"Later, if someone comes to visit, you can say that I have fallen asleep, and if there is anything, I will talk about it tomorrow."

In the face of Yan Song's advice, Yan Shifan did not dare to disobey in the slightest, so he had to respond respectfully.

"Yes, father, the child will tell them."

"Well, you know, there's nothing important next, don't bother me again."

After Yan Song finished speaking, without waiting for Yan Shifan to reply, he went straight back to the room, and also took the door with him.

Yan Shifan sighed helplessly, and then returned to his room.

Before he could rest long, he heard the butler's voice outside the door.

"Xiao Ge Lao, there are many officials outside who ask to see him, saying that they want to see Yan Ge Lao!"

"Alright, I see, let's bring them in!"

"I'll be there shortly."

After listening to Yan Shifan's instructions, the housekeeper outside the door nodded and left quickly.

Not long after, the hall that the Yan family specially used to entertain guests was crowded with officials who had come to visit, and the three of them gathered together to exchange information with each other about what they had heard.

It's just that the expressions on their faces are full of chagrin, and from time to time there is a helpless sigh.

"Alas, if I had known, I would have supported King Yu's side!"

"Even if you don't ask for promotion, you can at least keep your current position, and now you have nothing!"

I saw a short and stocky official sigh and say so.

And his words naturally resonated with many officials present, and immediately, several voices came from the corner.

"Yes, I knew that I would support King Yu's side!"

"Maybe right now, Qingliu is writing an impeachment note overnight, and he wants to liquidate us!"

At this moment, I saw Yan Shifan walking out with his hands behind his back, and after looking around, he asked in a deep voice.

"Who's here, chewing on the root of your tongue?"
