Chapter 57: Su Huirong appears
The sky is dark, the sky is gloomy, and the atmosphere in the palace is extremely solemn and solemn, full of forbidden troops and brocade guards patrolling back and forth, and the number of people has obviously increased a lot compared to before, and the defense is extremely strict.
Seeing the arrival of Yuhuatian and Tan Luzi, these forbidden soldiers and Jinyi guards hurriedly stopped, saluted respectfully, and then continued to patrol.
Yuhuatian came all the way, the pace was very fast, and it didn't take long to come to Zhu Youxiao's dormitory - 'Qianqing Palace'.
At this time, at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Ge Ill, Bei Haishi and other divine doctors were discussing something together, their faces were very solemn, and there were palace people waiting carefully next to them, with extremely respectful attitudes.
The methods of these divine doctors are much more sophisticated than those imperial doctors in the palace, and the emperor is now relying on this group of divine doctors to continue his life, and they dare not offend.
At this time, seeing Yuhuatian coming, the original solemn expressions of these divine doctors were slightly relaxed, and then they immediately stepped forward and saluted Yuhuatian:
"See Rain-sama."
"No need to be polite." Yu Huatian waved his hand, glanced at the Qianqing Palace, and said in a deep voice: "How is the emperor?" β
Bei Haishi sighed and said, "The situation is very bad. β
"What the hell is going on?" Yu Huatian frowned.
Bei Haishi sighed and explained: "The emperor's body is not good, and he was devoured by that devouring God Gu, and the loss of origin is serious. β
"During this time, we have teamed up to prepare a lot of medicinal food for the emperor, not to mention that it can prolong the emperor's life, but at least it can stabilize the emperor's condition, and then slowly recuperate, at least let the emperor ...... Die in one's bed. β
"But the emperor has been in a low mood recently, and he has been reviewing and reading in the imperial study all day long, and he never comes out in his spare time, in this case, even if he takes the medicinal food, the effect will be greatly reduced, and the situation will only get worse and worse in the end."
"If this situation continues, the emperor is only afraid...... Don't live for more than three months! β
After Bei Haishi finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
It is a matter of life and death of the emperor and the safety of the Ming Dynasty, at this time, they can only tell the truth and dare not hide it in the slightest.
Zhu Youxiao's situation is not only a physical problem, but also a heart disease, and they can't do anything about it.
Hearing this, Yuhuatian suddenly understood.
After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "I'll go and have a look first." β
With that, he turned around and walked into the Qianqing Palace.
As soon as he entered the door, a strong smell of medicine came to his face, which was very pungent, making Deyu Huatian frown slightly.
Zhu Youxiao had fallen asleep at this moment, lying quietly on the bed, his breathing was weak, and it was even difficult to hear.
Yu Huatian slowly walked to the side of the bed and looked at Zhu Youxiao, his expression was very complicated.
In just over a month, Zhu Youxiao looked a lot thinner, his face was almost fleshless, his skin was close to his face bones, his eye sockets were sunken, his face was very pale, he looked like a zombie, very terrifying.
In fact, speaking of which, Zhu Youxiao's life is indeed very tragic.
When he was young, his father Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo had not yet ascended the throne, although he was named the emperor's eldest grandson, but in fact he was not favored by Zhu Changluo, Zhu Changluo was indifferent to him, and even his biological mother Wang Cairen was also snubbed, but another concubine Li Xuanzhi was very favored by Zhu Changluo, so Li Xuanzhi was unscrupulous in the palace, and he personally killed Zhu Youxiao's biological mother Wang Cairen.
The young Zhu Youxiao witnessed the tragic scene of his biological mother being beaten to death, but he was forced to live with the person who abused and killed his mother, and he had to call her mother. And Zhu Youxiao is not Li Xuanshi's biological flesh and blood after all, so after Li Xuanxiao became Zhu Youxiao's adoptive mother, he bullied and scolded him at every turn.
This unbearable period made Zhu Youxiao develop a cowardly and evasive character, especially when facing Li Xuanshi, he trembled, obeyed his words, and did not dare to do anything that made Li Xuanzhi unhappy.
It can be said that Zhu Youxiao's character was created by Li Xuanshi.
Later, Zhu Changluo died of illness and Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, this situation has continued, and even Li Xuan's ambition to serve the wolf son secretly colluded with Wei Zhongxian to control Zhu Youxiao.
In the end, it was the civil and military officials who jointly forced the palace, plus Zheng He and others to suppress Wei Zhongxian, which ended this situation.
But after regaining power, Zhu Youxiao not only did not punish Li Xuanzhi, but in order to be afraid of outsiders gossiping, he even honored Li Xuanzhi as Concubine Kang and let her live in the Luan Palace in Renshou Palace, although she did not have any rights, but at least she had no worries about food and clothing.
As the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate, and Zhu Youxiao is one of them.
If it weren't for his indecisive character, how could he have become like this for the sake of a woman with bad intentions.
Secret trouble?
What his heart disease is, Yuhuatian knows very well.
It's nothing more than that he feels that the people around him have betrayed him, from the very beginning of the letter king Zhu Youxiao, to the iron gall god Hou Zhu ignored, and then to the Fu King, Taiping King, Nan Wang, and Ning Wang in the back.
Now, Concubine Wan is dead, and her favorite Concubine Jing Jiang Yuyan is also dead, leaving her alone in the deep palace, feeling that life has no meaning.
To put it simply, it's depression.
But Yu Huatian will not sympathize with him, nor will he regret killing Jiang Yuyan.
That woman's wolf ambition not only killed Concubine Wan, but also wanted to deal with him and control the power, how could Yuhuatian tolerate her to continue to live?
As for Zhu Youxiao, it can only be said that he is too incompetent.
As the emperor and the lord of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of woman do you want? But for the sake of a woman, he dragged his body down.
Moreover, as a superior person, he should be lonely.
Since you can't bear this loneliness, then don't occupy this position!
He may have been a man of love and righteousness, but he was not a worthy king.
"Alas......"
Recalling the past between himself and Zhu Youxiao, Yuhuatian sighed lightly, and did not intend to wake up Zhu Youxiao, turned around and walked outside.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhu Youxiao opened his eyes quietly, and when he saw Yuhuatian, he was stunned at first, and then exhaled lightly and said, "Are you going to prepare for the future?" β
Yuhuatian paused, then turned around and bowed his hand: "Minister Yuhuatian, see the emperor." β
After a pause, Yu Huatian continued: "The minister just saw that the emperor was resting, and he couldn't bear to disturb him, so he wanted to wait outside first, and when the emperor woke up, he didn't dare to have this idea." β
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, and he said, "Okay, you don't need to disguise yourself in front of me, I know very well what kind of person you are." β
Saying that, Zhu Youxiao took a breath and said, "Help me up." β
Yuhuatian stepped forward and helped him to sit up, then took two steps back and remained silent.
Zhu Youxiao was also silent for a moment and asked, "The treasure has been brought back?" β
Yuhuatian replied: "Not yet, but it is already on the way back, and the minister promises that it will not be less at all." β
Zhu Youxiao sneered and said bluntly: "I am naturally relieved that you do things, otherwise I would not have let you live until now, let alone let you climb to your current position, and even if I want to move you, I can't do anything." β
Yuhuatian remained silent.
Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath and said, "You should know my current physical condition, right?" β
Yu Huatian nodded.
"Say, I can bear it."
Yu Huatian was silent for a moment, and said: "That group of doctors in the rivers and lakes said that the emperor is suffering from a heart disease, and his health is not good, and his condition is getting worse every day, so if this continues, the emperor ...... Don't live for more than three months! β
Zhu Youxiao's body trembled, then slowly closed his eyes, and after a while, he laughed at himself and said: "I asked them, they didn't say anything, as soon as you came, they told you everything, it seems that you are indeed higher than me in their minds." β
Yu Huatian said calmly: "They just don't want the emperor to be worried about his illness after he knows about his condition, which will lead to the aggravation of his condition." β
Zhu Youxiao breathed slowly and sighed: "Worried? How can you not be worried? But it's not about worrying about my life and death! Although I didn't live long, I was still enough, at least, to sit on this throne that people all over the world dream of. β
"However, now the Zhu family's descendants who are qualified to inherit the throne have all died, if I leave, who will inherit the throne?"
As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao looked at Yuhuatian, his eyes were deep, and said, "Yuhuatian, you come to tell me, if I leave, who do you want to support to sit in this position?" β
Yuhuatian's heart shook slightly.
Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "Don't take me as a fool, your current status in the Ming Dynasty is far better than Wei Zhongxian back then, no matter who is the emperor, you will have to pass this level!" And although you can't be the emperor, I don't believe you will be unprepared! β
"Tell me who you want to support to be this emperor!"
Yuhuatian was silent, but his heart was not calm.
He originally thought that Zhu Youxiao would not think about this, but he didn't expect that he knew everything.
Also!
He is just a cowardly and indecisive character, but he is not a fool, he is also a person who has been an emperor for so many years, how can he not see through everything.
After being silent for a long time, Yu Huatian looked at Zhu Youxiao and asked calmly: "Your Majesty, if the minister really wants to support someone else to be the emperor and take the emperor's place, how does the emperor plan to deal with the minister?" β
Zhu Youxiao breathed rapidly, and his fists were slowly clenched, but after a moment, he loosened weakly again.
He looked at Yuhuatian and said, "Since you came to power, I have seen everything you have done, although you have hidden it from me, you have done many things to satisfy your ambitions. But you are indeed loyal to me and to Daming! β
"I'm not a person who doesn't miss the old, even if you really plan to support someone to ascend the throne and take my place, I won't blame you, after all, I have no children under my knees, and you are a eunuch, everything comes from the imperial power, and you need to think about yourself, which is understandable."
"However, I hope that the Zhu family's country will not end in my generation, is it okay?"
Zhu Youxiao stared at Yuhuatian tightly, and in the end, there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Yu Huatian's heart trembled slightly, took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the minister promises you that the Ming Dynasty will never end in the hands of the emperor, and even, it will become better and stronger in the future." β
"One day, the entire Shenzhou, wherever the sun shines, will be the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
Yu Huatian's tone was resolute and loud!
Zhu Youxiao's heart was shocked, he stared at Yuhuatian for a long time, nodded, and said, "I believe you can do it." β
As he spoke, he paused again and said, "Can you tell me who you plan to support to take my place?" Which prince is it, or which prince's son? β
Now that the king of letters, Zhu Youxiao, is dead, and the other princes, or the sons of the princes, are already considered to be sidelines, but they are still surnamed Zhu, and they can continue the Zhu family.
"Neither!"
Yu Huatian shook his head, looked at Zhu Youxiao, and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, you still have a son." β
"What?" Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and he didn't hear clearly.
"The minister said, you have a son." Yuhuatian said calmly.
Rumble!
There was a bang in Zhu Youxiao's head, and the whole person jumped up directly from the bed, this terrifying scene, if the group of miracle doctors outside saw it, they would definitely exclaim 'medical miracle'.
But at this moment, Zhu Youxiao couldn't care about anything else, he stared at Yu Huatian, grabbed the clothes of Yu Huatian's hands tightly with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "You ...... What did you say? I...... I still have a son? β
Yu Huatian nodded: "Does the emperor still remember, two years ago in the Imperial Garden, the palace maid you were fortunate to?" β
Zhu Youxiao frowned and pondered, the palace maid who was fortunate in the imperial garden?
But after a while, he still shook his head, since he ascended the throne, he has been fortunate to have too many palace maids, where can he remember so many.
Yuhuatian was not surprised, pulled Zhu Youxiao's hand away from his body, and said slowly: "Her name is Su Huirong, after being fortunate by the emperor, she became pregnant, in order to protect her, the minister sent someone to secretly send her out of the palace to give birth, a year ago, she had successfully given birth to a son for the emperor, and now she should be in her early years." β
"I still have a son...... I still have a son......"
Zhu Youxiao's brain was pounding, and he staggered and sat on the bed, unable to believe it at all.
In this life, he actually has sons, and there are three.
But all three sons died young, none of them lived past a year old, and then he was not in good health, no matter how hard he tried every night, he could not give birth to a son, so he always thought that it was his own physical cause.
But now Yuhuatian told him that he also has a son in his early years, how can he believe it?!
After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Yuhuatian: "You...... What you say is true?! β
Yu Huatian nodded calmly: "The minister doesn't dare to deceive the emperor, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can confess his relatives with blood." β
Zhu Youxiao was short of breath and was a little overwhelmed for a while.
Then he took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, looked at Yuhuatian, and said, "Bring him to see me!" And that palace maid, Su ...... Su Huirong, bring it together! β
"Commandment."
After Yu Huatian finished speaking, he turned around and left.
And Zhu Youxiao sat on the bed in a daze, both surprised and expectant, and a little frightened, for fear that this would be another dream......
But half an hour later, looking at the woman dressed as a folk girl in front of her, exuding mature charm and a maternal brilliance, and the white child in her arms, Zhu Youxiao was stunned again.
Immediately after, he could no longer control himself, rushed forward, looked at the child in the woman's arms, and said in a trembling voice:
"Kid...... Is he my child? β
This woman is naturally Su Huirong.
She looked at Zhu Youxiao at this time, her face was also a little complicated, she nodded, and did not speak.
Zhu Youxiao swallowed his saliva, his eyes kept on the child, and then said cautiously: "Yes...... Let me hug him? β
Hearing this, Su Huirong glanced at the Yuhua field next to him, and cast an inquiring look.
Yu Huatian said calmly: "The emperor's child, let the emperor hug it." β
"Yes."
Su Huirong whispered, and then handed the child to Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao took the child, and the child did not cry, but looked at him with curiosity on his face, and even reached out to touch his prickly beard.
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, and Zhu Youxiao's brain exploded, and his whole body trembled with excitement.
"Kid! My child! β
Although he has not yet confessed his relatives by blood, he is extremely sure that this is his child, and the feeling that blood is thicker than water will definitely not go wrong!
As if thinking of something, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly turned over the child, unbuttoned his pants and took a closer look, when he saw the little worm, his face was full of joy, and he even twisted it with his hand, and then laughed:
"Son! Really son! I have a son! Hahaha......"
Yuhuatian: "......"
Su Huirong: "......"
Looking at Zhu Youxiao's vulgar actions, both of them were a little speechless, could it still be fake?
Seeing that the child was frightened and crying by Zhu Youxiao's little finch, Su Huirong hurriedly took the child over and coaxed him softly.
Zhu Youxiao also reacted at this moment that his actions just now were a little indecent, his old face was slightly red, and then he looked at Su Huirong and asked cautiously, "You...... Your name is Su Huirong, right? β
Su Huirong hugged the child, she couldn't give a full salute, she could only bow slightly, and said in a low voice: "The people's girl is Su Huirong." β
"Don't! No need to salute......"
Zhu Youxiao hurriedly stopped Su Huirong, then held Su Huirong's hand, and said with a happy face: "Thank you for giving birth to this son for me, in the past two years, I have made you a concubine...... No, make you queen! β
"In the future, you will be the queen of my Ming Dynasty, sharing these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with me!"
Su Huirong's heart shook slightly, she glanced at Yuhuatian, and saw Yuhuatian shaking her head slightly, she understood in her heart, gently broke free of Zhu Youxiao's hand, took two steps back, and said in a low voice: "The people's daughter has a low status, she was bullied in the palace back then, if it weren't for the overseer's rescue and rescue the people's daughter from the deep palace, I'm afraid that the people's daughter would not know which dry well she died in, and now the emperor is willing to recognize this child and give him what he deserves, so that he doesn't have to suffer with the people's daughter, the people's daughter is already very satisfied, and she doesn't dare to covet the position of the mother of this country." β
Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao fell silent, he naturally knew what kind of fate would happen if he was pregnant in the palace as a palace maid.
His original impulse almost ruined the life of a palace maid, and even he, a child, had no chance to be born.
Thinking of this, the feeling of Yuhuatian in his heart became more complicated.
Although he knew that all this might have been planned by Yuhuatian, the son in front of him actually appeared in front of him.
Moreover, this is his own flesh and blood.
With this child, the Ming dynasty will not be coveted by outsiders, and it will not have to fall into the hands of the princes.
This child is the most orthodox royal family surnamed Zhu!
After a moment of silence, he looked at Su Huirong and said in a deep voice: "All this is what you deserve, from now on, you will be the queen of my Daming, this child is my prince, the future master of the Ming Dynasty!" β
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Huatian again and said, "This child, I'm afraid that he will experience ups and downs in the future, Yu Aiqing, I will leave the safety of this child to you." β
Hearing this, Yuhuatian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as if a boulder had finally landed, he strode forward, bowed solemnly to Zhu Youxiao, and said solemnly: "Minister Yuhuatian, lead the order!" β
Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, then looked at the child in Su Huirong's arms, and asked carefully, "He...... Do you have a name? β
Su Huirong said in a low voice: "I only took a nickname, called Yu'er, because there are many birds flying every day where the folk girl lives, and Yu'er likes to pick up feathers very much, and the big name has not been taken yet." β
"Yu'er...... My feathers! β
Zhu Youxiao had a smile on his face, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then call him Zhu Ciyu!" I hope that he will no longer be an incompetent monarch like me, but after inheriting my Ming dynasty, he will shine brightly, and the light will shine all over the world! β
Zhu Ciyu!
β¦
"Get out of the way, we want to see the emperor!"
"You dead eunuchs, you dare to stop us and get out of the way of the old man!"
"The emperor hasn't shown up for so long, must it be that you dead eunuchs murdered the emperor and won't let us in? Do you want to rebel? β
"What about the eunuch in Yuhuatian? Let him get out, we want to see the emperor! β
Outside the Fengtian Gate, a group of civil and military ministers gathered here, ignoring the forbidden army at the gate, they had to break into the palace and ask to see the emperor, and they couldn't even stop the officials and Jinyi guards from the East and West No. 2 Factory.
It's not that you can't stop it, it's that you don't dare to stop it!
The main group of ministers are all high-ranking and powerful, and all of them are the backbone of the court.
Even several cabinet ministers and six shoshu were among them.
The officials of the West Factory led by him frowned, and persuaded him: "Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor has been in poor health recently, and he is recuperating in the Qianqing Palace. β
"Whew!"
"What kind of imperial doctor, I'm afraid it was the eunuch from Yuhuatian, right?"
"The emperor is not in good health, isn't it the eunuch who harmed Yuhuatian? Who doesn't know that Concubine Jing was killed by him? Concubine Jing is the emperor's favorite concubine, if Concubine Jing doesn't die, how can the emperor fall ill?! β
Hong Chengchou, the left attendant of the military department, pointed at the nose of the Xichang official and scolded.
Hearing this, the face of the Xichang official also sank, and he looked at Hong Chengchou coldly, and said: "Lord Hong, there are some things that can't be said nonsense, Concubine Jing killed Concubine Wan, trying to provoke civil strife in the harem, plotting against her, the evidence is conclusive, and she died in the hands of her accomplice Xiao Yu'er, the human and material evidence are all there, the case has been closed, you say so, are you and Concubine Jing the same party?" β
"Humph! You eunuchs, black can be said to be white by you, is it not, it's not up to you to have the final say, and now you still want to frame this official and Jing Guifei as the same party? Do you think this official is afraid of you eunuchs? β
Hong Chengchou snorted coldly.
At this time, Hai Rui, the first assistant of the cabinet, also came forward and said: "Don't talk about anything else, we want to see the emperor, since the emperor has nothing to do, then let us in!" β
In the face of Hai Rui, the Xichang official did not dare to be presumptuous, but frowned and said: "Lord Hai, we are just acting on orders, and I also ask Lord Hai not to embarrass us." β
Hai Rui said coldly: "Acting under orders? On whose orders? This Daming, is it the emperor's Daming, or the Daming of Yuhuatian? β
"As the head of the cabinet, the old man wants to see the emperor, does he still have to see Yuhuatian's face?"
"This ......" The Xichang official's face was ugly and he couldn't speak.
Hoof, hoof-
At this moment, a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded in the palace.
Everyone was side-eyed.
Who was so bold as to dare to ride a horse in the palace?
Everyone looked back and saw that the person who came was the deputy governor of the West Factory, Tan Luzi.
Everyone in the West Factory immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Deputy Overseer!" β
Tan Luzi waved his hand and motioned for them to stand down, and then he stepped forward directly, looked at the group of ministers condescendingly, took out a gold medal from his arms, and said coldly:
"The emperor has decreed that Hai Rui, the first assistant of the Cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, the Minister of the Cabinet, Yuan Chonghuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, ...... Wait, go to the Qianqing Palace to meet you! β
Tan Luzi ordered more than a dozen people in one go.
Seeing the gold medal that was "like me coming in person", the named minister turned pale, hurriedly stepped forward, and bowed: "The ministers are in order!" β
Tan Luzi didn't say much, and looked at the people who had made the most trouble before, and said coldly: "The emperor has an order, Lord Hong Chengchou, the left attendant of the military department, and Lord Jiang of the Ministry of Officials...... Forming a party for personal gain, seriously endangering my Daming Jiangshan Sheji, take it away immediately, and interrogate it strictly! β
Hong Chengchou and the others suddenly changed their faces.
"Eunuch, you dare to falsely preach the holy decree and frame us?!" Hong Chengchou said angrily.
What kind of party is for personal gain, endangering the Ming Dynasty, this eunuch is clearly avenging the revenge just now, deliberately suppressing them.
Hai Rui and the others also stopped, frowned, and said, "Lord Tan, are you over?" β
Tan Luzi said coldly: "Don't worry about it, your lords, the emperor is still waiting for you inside, and the affairs outside have nothing to do with you!" β
After that, he looked at the Fan Zi and Jin Yiwei of the East and West Factory next to him, and frowned: "What are you waiting for?" Didn't you hear the emperor's will? β
"Yes!"
Everyone reacted immediately, and immediately rushed up, detaining all the people who had made the most trouble just now, and even insulted them, and took them to the direction of Jinyiwei Prison.
"Eunuchs, you must not die well!"
"This official is the minister of the three products, the elder of the three dynasties, who dares to arrest me!"
"Bang-"
"Bullshit elders of the three dynasties, the elders of the three dynasties are mixed up like this, if you don't catch whoever you catch, shut up for me and go!"
"Ah...... I want to see the emperor, let go, I want to sue you! β
"Go to prison and sue you!"
In the chaos, more than a dozen troublemakers were taken away.
Hai Rui and the others had ugly faces, but they thought that they would be able to meet the emperor immediately, so they also endured it, planning to wait until they saw the emperor, and then join this Tan Luzi and release those ministers.
The crowd quickly dispersed.
However, no one noticed that in an attic not far from Fengtianmen, an old man in his sixties stood quietly, looking at what was happening at Fengtianmen.
Beside him, stood a figure in armor.
Seeing that the group of ministers were taken away, the man in armor frowned and said: "This Yuhuatian is too domineering, so many ministers above the third grade, they will be arrested when they say it?" β
The old man said lightly: "This eunuch has always acted like this, but he is just and easy to break, he will not be arrogant for long, as long as the emperor dies, this Kyoto will be chaotic, and then it will be his death!" β
The armored man asked, "Are you sure the emperor is no longer good?" β
The old man glanced at him: "The news from the old man's inside the palace will never go wrong!" β
The armored man nodded slightly, and said, "That's good, at this time, there must be no accidents!" β
The old man also nodded, and then asked, "Are you ready over there at the border gate?" β
The armored man glanced at him, his eyes were indifferent, and said, "This is not something you should care about, just do your own thing!" β
The old man's heart was cold, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but thinking of this man's unpredictable kung fu and cruel methods, he didn't dare to say anything, and said in a deep voice:
"I have done what you said, but this Yuhuatian martial arts is very high, and the East and West Second Factory and Jinyi Wei are in his hands, but the control of the forbidden army is weak, but on the army side, the old man can't interfere, you can only rely on yourself!"
The armored man said lightly: "Don't worry, on the side of the forbidden army, I will find a way." β
When the old man heard this, he didn't say anything more, he looked in the direction of the palace, sighed lightly in his heart, and a trace of shame flashed in his eyes.
β¦
The news of the emperor's illness, unconsciously, soon spread throughout the capital, and even ordinary people were talking about it.
Everywhere in Kyoto, people are in fear.
With the return of the rain fields, the situation is slightly better, but public opinion is still not under control.
Vaguely, it was as if a big hand was pushing all this.
Even today's civil and military officials begged to see the emperor in Fengtianmen, but in the end, many officials were arrested by people from Xichang, and it quickly spread.
Xichang's domineering behavior has caused many people to be dissatisfied, but because of Xichang's fierce reputation, these people can only dare to be angry and dare not speak.
However, many people are already secretly looking forward to the emperor's death.
Because the power of Xichang comes from the emperor, as long as the emperor dies, the status of this rain field will inevitably plummet.
Except for Zhu Youxiao, no matter who becomes the emperor, he will not allow people like Yu Huatian to continue to exist.
And Zhu Youxiao has no children under his knees, and everyone knows that once Zhu Youxiao dies, those who are qualified to take over the throne must be the only remaining princes surnamed Zhu.
For a while, many people had even secretly contacted those princes who they were optimistic about and began to stand in line.
And those princes have also begun to run to the capital after receiving the news.
I heard that Zhu Youxiao is very sick and may die at any time.
At this time, whoever runs fast is likely to become the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what their strength is, they always have to give it a try.
The first to come is king!
But before these princes arrived in the capital, a holy decree suddenly came out of the palaceβ
The emperor decreed:
Su Huirong, the daughter of the people, was the queen of the Ming Dynasty; Zhu Ciyu, the crown prince, was the prince of the East Palace; Hai Rui, the first assistant of the cabinet, was appointed as the crown prince and the prince; Zhang Juzheng, the minister of the cabinet, was the crown prince; Feng Yuhuatian is the crown prince and Taibao, and concurrently serves as the master of the master of ceremonies and the supervisor of the seal of the West Factory.
Five canonization decrees in a row shook the entire Jingshi!
Countless people were at a loss, what was the situation?
When did the emperor have a prince?
Who is this Su Huirong?
There is also the rain field.
A eunuch can also become a prince?
Is Zhu Youxiao sick or crazy?
