The sky was dark and gloomy, and the atmosphere inside the palace was extremely solemn and solemn. There were patrolling imperial guards and imperial guards everywhere, and the number of them had obviously increased a lot compared to before, and the defense was extremely tight.
Seeing the arrival of Yuhuatian and Tan Luzi, these forbidden troops and Jin Yiwei stopped quickly, saluted respectfully, and then continued patrolling.
Yuhuatian came all the way, walking very fast, and after a while he arrived at Zhu Youxiao's dormitory, the 'Qianqing Palace'.
At this time, at the gate of Qianqing Palace, Ge Bing, Bei Haishi and other miracle doctors were gathered together to discuss something, their faces very solemn. There were palace servants waiting on them carefully and with extremely respectful attitude.
The methods of these miracle doctors are much better than those of the imperial doctors in the palace. The emperor now relies on these miracle doctors to survive, and they dare not offend him.
At this time, seeing Yuhuatian coming, the solemn expressions of these miracle doctors relaxed slightly, and then they immediately stepped forward to greet Yuhuatian and saluted Yuhuatian:
"See Master Yu."
"No need to be polite." Yu Huatian waved his hand, glanced at Qianqing Palace, and said solemnly: "How is the emperor?"
Bei Haishi sighed and said, "The situation is very bad."
"What's going on?" Yu Huatian frowned.
Bei Haishi sighed and explained: "The Emperor's health is not good to begin with, and coupled with being swallowed by the God-Eating Gu, his original source has been seriously lost."
"During this period, we have worked together to prepare a lot of medicated meals 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 adjust it, so that at least the emperor can... die of a healthy life."
"But the emperor has been in a low mood recently. He spends all day reviewing memorials in the royal study and never comes out during his free time. In this case, even if he takes medicinal food, the effect will be greatly reduced, and the situation will only get worse in the end."
"If this situation continues, the Emperor is afraid... that he will not survive for three months!"
After Bei Haishi finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
It was a matter of life and death for the emperor and the safety of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, they could only tell the truth and did not dare to hide anything.
Zhu Youxiao's situation was not only a physical problem, but also a mental illness. There was nothing they could do.
Hearing this, Yuhuatian understood immediately.
After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "I'll go in and take a look first."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into Qianqing Palace.
As soon as he entered the door, a strong smell of medicine hit his face, which was very pungent and made De Yuhuatian frown slightly.
Zhu Youxiao had fallen asleep at this moment, lying quietly on the bed, breathing weakly and even hard to hear.
Yu Huatian slowly walked to the bed and looked at Zhu Youxiao with a very complicated expression.
In just over a month, Zhu Youxiao looked much thinner. There was almost no flesh on his face, his skin stuck to his bones, his eye sockets were sunken, his face was very pale, and he looked like a zombie, which was very scary.
In fact, speaking of it, Zhu Youxiao's life was 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, he was not actually favored by Zhu Changluo. Zhu Changluo was indifferent to him, and his biological mother Wang Cairen was also ignored. Instead, he was favored by another person. One of the concubines, Li Xuanshi, was extremely favored by Zhu Changluo, so Li Xuanshi acted unscrupulously in the palace, and even personally killed Zhu Youxiao's biological mother, Wang Cairen.
The young Zhu Youxiao witnessed the tragedy of his biological mother being beaten to death, but he was forced to live with the person who tortured and killed his mother, and even called her mother. After all, Zhu Youxiao was not Li Xuanshi's biological flesh and blood, so after Li Xuanshi became Zhu Youxiao's adoptive mother, she always bullied and beat him.
These unbearable years made Zhu Youxiao develop a cowardly and avoidant character, especially when facing Li Xuanshi, he trembled, obeyed, and did not dare to do anything to displease Li Xuanshi.
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 continued. Even Li Xuan was ambitious and secretly colluded with Wei Zhongxian to control Zhu Youxiao.
In the end, it was the combination of civil and military officials who forced the palace, and Zheng He and others took action to suppress Wei Zhongxian, which ended this situation.
But after regaining power, Zhu Youxiao not only did not punish Li Xuanshi, but in order to avoid outsiders gossiping, he even made Li Xuanshi a concubine of Kang and let her live in the Yiluan Palace in Renshou Palace. Although she did not have any rights, at least she had food and clothing. No worries.
As the saying goes, poor people must be hateful, and Zhu Youxiao is one of the best.
If he hadn't been so indecisive, how could he have ended up like this for a woman with evil intentions?
Heart disease?
Yuhuatian knew very well what his heart ailment was.
It's just that he feels that everyone around him has betrayed him, from the first King of Xin Zhu Youxiao, to the God of Iron and Courage Hou Zhu Yiyi, and then to King Fu, King Taiping, King Nan, and King Ning.
Now, Concubine Wan Gui is dead, and her most beloved Concubine Jing, Jiang Yuyan, is also dead. She is left alone in the palace, feeling that life has no meaning.
Simply put, it’s depression.
But Yuhuatian will not sympathize with him, nor will he regret killing Jiang Yuyan.
That woman was so ambitious that she not only killed Concubine Wan Gui, but also wanted to deal with him and take control of power. How could Yuhuatian tolerate her continuing to live?
As for Zhu Youxiao, it can only be said that he is too incompetent.
As an emperor and the lord of the Ming Dynasty, what kind of woman does he want? But for a woman, he dragged his body down.
Moreover, as a superior, you should be lonely.
Since you can't bear this loneliness, then don't occupy this position!
He may be a man of love and justice, but he is not a qualified king.
"well……"
Recalling the past experiences between himself and Zhu Youxiao, Yu Huatian sighed lightly and turned around to walk outside without intending to wake Zhu Youxiao.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhu Youxiao opened his eyes faintly. After seeing Yuhuatian, he was stunned for a moment, then breathed softly and said, "Are you going to prepare my funeral arrangements?"
Yu Huatian paused, then turned around, bowed and held his hands in his hands: "Your Majesty, Yu Huatian, pays homage to the Emperor."
After a pause, Yu Huatian continued: "I just saw the emperor resting and couldn't bear to disturb him, so I wanted to go outside and wait until the emperor woke up. I didn't dare to have such an idea."
A trace of sarcasm flashed in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, and he said, "Okay, there's no need to pretend in front of me. I know very well what kind of person you are."
After saying that, Zhu Youxiao took a breath and said, "Help me get up."
Yu Huatian stepped forward and helped him sit up, then took two steps back and remained silent.
Zhu Youxiao was also silent for a moment and asked, "Did you bring the treasure back?"
Yuhuatian replied: "Not yet, but it is already on its way back. I promise there will be no shortage at all."
Zhu Youxiao sneered and said bluntly: "I am naturally relieved when you do things, otherwise I would not let you live until now, let alone climb to your current position. Even if I want to touch you, I will not let you live until now." There’s nothing more we can do.”
Yuhuatian remained silent.
Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath and said, "You should know my current physical condition, right?"
Yuhuatian nodded.
"Tell me, I can bear it."
Yu Huatian was silent for a moment and said: "The group of miraculous doctors said that the emperor has a heart disease. In addition, he is not in good health. His condition is getting worse every day. If this continues, the emperor... will not survive for three months!"
Zhu Youxiao's body trembled, and then he slowly closed his eyes. After a moment, he laughed at himself and said: "I asked them, but they didn't say anything. As soon as you came, they told you everything. It seems that you are here In their minds, they are indeed higher than me."
Yuhuatian said calmly: "They just don't want the emperor to worry after knowing about the condition, which will worsen the condition."
Zhu Youxiao breathed calmly and sighed: "Worried? How can you not be worried? But you are not worried about my life or death! Although I didn't live long, I was good enough. At least, I sat on this throne that everyone in the world dreams of. "
"However, now all the direct descendants of the Zhu family who are qualified to inherit the throne are dead. If I leave, who should inherit the throne?"
With that said, Zhu Youxiao looked at Yuhuatian with a deep look and said: "Yuhuatian, come and tell me, if I leave, who do you want to support to sit in this position?"
Yuhuatian's heart was slightly shaken.
Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "Don't think of me as a fool. Your current position in the Ming Dynasty is far better than that of Wei Zhongxian back then. No matter who becomes the emperor, he will have to pass you! And although you can't be the emperor, I I don’t believe you will be unprepared!”
"Tell me who you want to support to be the emperor!"
Yuhuatian was silent, but his heart was not at peace.
He originally thought that Zhu Youxiao wouldn't think about this, but he didn't expect that he knew everything.
Too!
He just has a cowardly and indecisive personality, but he is not a fool. After all, he has been the emperor for so many years, so how can he not see through everything.
After a long silence, Yu Huatian looked at Zhu Youxiao and asked calmly: "Your Majesty, if I really want to support someone else to become the emperor and replace the emperor, what will the emperor do with me?"
Zhu Youxiao's breathing was rapid, and he slowly clenched his fists, but after a moment, he loosened them weakly.
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 for me, He is indeed loyal to the Ming Dynasty!"
"I am not someone who does not miss the past. Even if you really plan to support someone to take the throne and take my place, I will not blame you. After all, I have no children, and you are a eunuch. Everything comes from the imperial power. It’s understandable that you need to think about yourself.”
"However, I hope that the Zhu family's legacy will not end with my generation, is that okay?"
Zhu Youxiao stared at Yuhuatian closely, and in the end, there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Yu Huatian's heart trembled slightly, he took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I promise you that the Ming Dynasty will never end in the hands of the Emperor. It will even become better and stronger in the future."
"One day, the entire China, wherever the sun shines, will surely become the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
Yuhuatian's tone was firm and resounding!
Zhu Youxiao was shocked. He stared at Yuhuatian for a long time, nodded and said, "I believe you can do it."
After saying that, he paused again and said: "Can you tell me who you plan to support to replace my position? Which prince or whose son is it?"
Now that King Xin Zhu Youxiao is dead, the other princes, or the prince's sons, are already considered collaterals, but at least they still have the surname Zhu and can continue the Zhu family's legacy.
"neither!"
Yu Huatian shook his head, looked at Zhu Youxiao, and said, "Your Majesty, actually, you have a son."
"What?" Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, not hearing something clearly.
"I said you have a son," Yuhuatian said calmly.
boom!
There was an explosion in Zhu Youxiao's head, and he jumped up from the bed. If the group of miracle doctors outside saw this horrifying scene, they would definitely exclaim a 'medical miracle'.
But at this moment Zhu Youxiao couldn't care about anything else. He stared at Yuhuatian, grasped the clothes of Yuhuatian's hands tightly with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "You...what did you say? I...I still have it." A son?"
Yu Huatian nodded: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the maid you met in the Royal Garden two years ago?"
Zhu Youxiao frowned and thought hard, a palace maid visiting the imperial garden?
But after a moment, he still shook his head. Since he came to the throne, he has been blessed with too many maids, how could he remember so many.
Yu Huatian was not surprised. He pulled Zhu Youxiao's hand away from his body and said slowly: "Her name is Su Huirong. She became pregnant after the emperor visited her. In order to protect her, I sent someone to keep her secret." She was sent out of the palace to wait for delivery. A year ago, she successfully gave birth to a son for the emperor, and he should be a little over one year old now."
"I still have a son...I still have a son..."
Zhu Youxiao's head was pounding and he stumbled onto the bed, unable to believe it.
In this life, he actually had sons, three of them.
But all three sons died young, and none of them lived past one year old. Later, he was in poor health. No matter how hard he tried every night, he could not give birth to a son, so he always thought it was his own health.
But now Yuhuatian told him that he also had a one-year-old son. How could he dare to believe this? !
After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Yuhuatian: "You...are you telling the truth?!"
Yuhuatian nodded calmly: "I dare not deceive the emperor. If the emperor does not believe me, he can shed blood and admit his kinship."
Zhu Youxiao's breathing was rapid and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
Then he took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, looked at Yu Huatian, and said: "Bring him to see me! And the palace maid, Su... Su Huirong, bring him with you!"
"I accept the decree."
After Yu Huatian finished speaking, he turned and left.
Zhu Youxiao, on the other hand, sat blankly on the bed, feeling both surprised and expectant, but also a little scared, fearing that this was another dream...
But half an hour later, looking at the woman in front of him who was dressed as a civilian girl, exuding mature charm and maternal brilliance, and the fair-skinned child in her arms, Zhu Youxiao was stunned again.
Immediately afterwards, he could no longer control himself, rushed forward, looked at the child in the woman's arms, and said in a trembling voice:
"Child...is he my child?"
This woman is naturally Su Huirong.
She looked at Zhu Youxiao with a complicated expression on her face, nodded, and said nothing.
Zhu Youxiao swallowed, his eyes focused on the child, and then said cautiously: "Can... let me hug him?"
When Su Huirong heard this, she glanced at Yu Huatian next to her and cast a questioning look.
Yuhuatian said calmly: "The emperor's child, please let the emperor hold it."
"yes."
Su Huirong whispered, and then handed the child to Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao took the child. The child did not cry. Instead, he looked at him curiously, and even reached out to touch his prickly beard.
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, and there was a bang in Zhu Youxiao's head, and his whole body trembled with excitement.
"Child! My child!"
Although he has not yet performed a bloody acknowledgment, he is extremely sure that this is his child. The feeling that blood is thicker than water is absolutely unmistakable!
As if thinking of something, Zhu Youxiao quickly turned over the child, unbuttoned his pants and took a closer look. When he saw the little Chongchong, his face was full of joy, and he even twisted it with his hands, and then laughed. :
"Son! Really a son! I have a son! Hahaha..."
Yuhuatian: "..."
Su Huirong: "..."
Looking at Zhu Youxiao's vulgar action, both of them were speechless. Could it be that it was fake?
Seeing that the child was frightened and crying when Zhu Youxiao grabbed her little bird, Su Huirong quickly picked up the child and coaxed him gently.
At this moment, Zhu Youxiao also realized that his actions just now were a bit indecent. His old face blushed slightly, and then he looked at Su Huirong and asked cautiously: "You... your name is Su Huirong, right?"
Su Huirong held the child in her arms. She could not give a full bow, but could only give a slight blessing, and whispered: "The daughter of the people is Su Huirong."
"No! No need to salute..."
Zhu Youxiao quickly stopped Su Huirong, then held Su Huirong's hand and said with joy on his face: "Thank you for giving birth to this son for me. I have made you suffer in the past two years. I will make you a noble concubine immediately... No, I will make you queen!"
"From now on, you will be my queen of the Ming Dynasty and share these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with me!"
Su Huirong's heart was slightly shaken. She glanced at Yuhuatian and saw Yuhuatian shaking his head slightly. She understood in her heart and gently broke away from Zhu Youxiao's hand. She took two steps back and whispered: "A civilian girl has a low status. Back then, In the palace, she was bullied. If the governor hadn't rescued the girl from the palace, she might have died in a dry well. Now the emperor is willing to recognize this child and give him what he deserves. He doesn't have to suffer along with the women of the country, and the women of the country are already very satisfied and don't dare to covet the position of the mother of the country."
Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao fell silent. He naturally knew what would happen if he was a palace maid and got pregnant in the palace.
His initial impulsiveness almost ruined the life of a palace maid, and even his child had no chance of being born.
Thinking of this, his feelings towards Yu Huatian became more complicated.
Although he knew that all of this might have been planned by Yu Huatian, 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 no longer be coveted by outsiders, nor will it fall into the hands of collateral princes.
This child is the most orthodox royal relative surnamed Zhu!
After a moment of silence, he looked at Su Huirong and said in a deep voice: "You deserve all this. From now on, you are the queen of my Ming Dynasty, and this child is my prince, the future master of the Ming Dynasty!" "
As he said that, he looked at Yu Huatian and said, "I'm afraid this child will go through ups and downs in the future. Yu Aiqing, I leave this child's safety to you."
Hearing this, Yu Huatian breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge stone had finally fallen to the ground. He strode forward, saluted Zhu Youxiao solemnly, and solemnly said: "Your Majesty Yu Huatian, accept the decree!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, then looked at the child in Su Huirong's arms, and asked carefully: "Does he... have a name?"
Su Huirong whispered: "I only gave him a nickname, Yu'er, because there are many birds flying to the place where the folk girl lives every day. Yu'er likes to pick feathers very much, and I haven't given him a nickname yet."
"Yu'er...my Yu'er!"
With a smile on his face, Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said: "Then let's call him Zhu Ciyu! I hope he will no longer be an incompetent monarch like me, but will bloom with glory after inheriting my Ming Dynasty. , the light shines all over the world!”
Zhu Ciyu!
…
"Get out of the way, we want to see the emperor!"
"You damn eunuchs, if you dare to stop us, get out of my way!"
"The Emperor has not shown up for so long. It must be you, the dead eunuchs, who have plotted to murder the Emperor. Why don't you let us in? Do you want to rebel?"
"Where is the eunuch from Yuhuatian? Let him get out, we want to see the emperor!"
Outside Fengtian Gate, a group of civil and military ministers gathered here. Regardless of the imperial guards at the door, they insisted on breaking into the palace and asking to see the emperor. Even officials from the East and West Second Factory and the Jinyi Guards could not stop them.
It’s not that I can’t stop it, it’s that I don’t dare to stop it!
Mainly, these ministers are all in high positions and are the backbone of the DPRK.
Even several cabinet ministers and six ministers are among them.
The leading Xichang official frowned and persuaded: "My lords, the emperor has been in poor health recently and is recuperating in Qianqing Palace. The imperial doctor has told him not to be disturbed. When the emperor gets better, he will naturally go to court. Why bother, lords?" Are you embarrassing us?"
"I bother!"
"What kind of imperial doctor? I'm afraid it was the eunuch from Yuhuatian who told me about it, right?"
"The emperor's poor health was not caused by that eunuch from Yuhuatian? Who doesn't know that Concubine Jing was killed by him? Concubine Jing was the emperor's favorite concubine. If Concubine Jing had not died, how could the emperor fall ill?! "
Hong Chengchou, the left minister of the Ministry of War, pointed at the nose of the Xichang official and cursed loudly.
Hearing this, the Xichang official's face also darkened. He looked at Hong Chengchou coldly and said, "Master Hong, there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense. Concubine Jing killed Concubine Wan Guifei in an attempt to provoke civil strife in the harem and plotted something evil. There is evidence. It’s conclusive, and she died at the hands of her accomplice Xiao Yu’er. There are all witnesses and material evidence, and the matter has been closed. If you say so, are you and Concubine Jing the same party?”
"Hmph! You eunuchs, you can call black things white. It's not you who have the final say. Now you still want to frame me and Concubine Jing as accomplices? Do you think I am afraid of you? These eunuchs?"
Hong Chengchou snorted coldly.
At this time, Hai Rui, the chief minister of the cabinet, also came forward and said: "Don't talk about anything else. We want to see the emperor. Since the emperor is fine, let us in!"
Facing Hai Rui, the Xichang official did not dare to be presumptuous. He just frowned and said, "Master Hai, we are just following orders. Please don't embarrass us, Master Hai."
Hai Rui said coldly: "Acting on orders? Whose orders? Is this Ming Dynasty the Emperor's Ming Dynasty, or is it the Ming Dynasty of Yuhuatian?"
"As the chief minister of the cabinet, I want to see the emperor. Do I have to look at Yuhuatian's face?"
"This..." The Xichang official looked ugly and was speechless.
Hoof-clack, hoof-clack——
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the palace.
Everyone looked sideways.
Who is so bold as to ride a horse in the palace?
Everyone looked back and saw that the person coming was Tan Luzi, the deputy governor of Xichang.
Everyone in the West Factory breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to salute: "Deputy Governor!"
Tan Luzi waved his hand and signaled them to step back. Then he rode forward and looked condescendingly at the group of ministers. He took out a gold medal from his arms and said coldly:
"The Emperor has decreed that the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Hai Rui, the Cabinet Minister, Zhang Juzheng, the Minister of War, Yuan Chonghuan, the Minister of Rites, Yang Sichang, etc., will go to the Palace of Qianqing to meet them!"
Tan Luzi named a dozen people in one go.
Seeing the gold medal that said "I am here in person", the minister who was named looked solemn, stepped forward quickly, raised his hands and saluted: "I am waiting for the order!"
Tan Luzi didn't say much, and looked at the people who had made the most fuss before, and said coldly: "The emperor has an order. Mr. Hong Chengchou, the left minister of the Ministry of War, and Mr. Jiang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs... have formed cliques for personal gain and seriously endangered our country, the Ming Dynasty. Immediately Take him away and interrogate him strictly!"
The expressions of Hong Chengchou and others suddenly changed.
"Eunuch, you dare to spread the imperial edict and frame us?!" Hong Chengchou said angrily.
Why did they form cliques for personal gain and endanger the Ming Dynasty? This eunuch was clearly seeking revenge and deliberately suppressing them.
Hai Rui and others also stopped and frowned: "Master Tan, have you passed?"
Tan Luzi said coldly: "My lords, don't be too troublesome. The emperor is still waiting for you inside. What happens outside has nothing to do with you!"
After that, he looked at Dongxichang Fanzi and Jinyiwei next to him, frowned and said: "What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear the emperor's order?"
"yes!"
Everyone reacted immediately and immediately swarmed forward, detaining those who had made the most violent noise and even insulted them, and took them to the Jinyiwei Prison.
"You eunuchs, you will not die well!"
"I am a third-rank minister and a veteran of three dynasties. Who dares to arrest me!"
"Bang——"
"Bullshit elders of the three dynasties. The elders of the three dynasties are so messed up. If you don't arrest anyone, shut up and leave!"
"Ah...I want to see the emperor, let go, I want to sue you!"
"Go to jail and complain!"
Amid the chaos, more than a dozen of the troublemaking officials were taken away.
Hai Rui and others looked ugly, but thinking that they would meet the emperor soon, they endured it. They planned to read this Tan Luzi book and release the ministers after meeting the emperor.
The crowd dispersed quickly.
However, no one noticed that in an attic not far from Fengtianmen, an old man in his sixties stood quietly, watching what was happening at Fengtianmen.
Next to him stood a figure wearing armor.
Seeing the group of ministers being taken away, the armored man frowned and said, "This Yu Huatian's behavior is too domineering. So many ministers of third rank and above were arrested at the request of arrest?"
The old man said calmly: "This eunuch has always behaved like this, but he is very strong and easy to break. He will not be arrogant for long. As long as the emperor dies, the capital will be in chaos, and then he will die!"
The man in armor asked: "Are you sure the emperor is dead?"
The old man glanced at him and said, "The information I conveyed through the palace's insiders will never be wrong!"
The armored man nodded slightly and said, "That's good. At this time, there must be no accident!"
The old man also nodded, and then asked: "Are you ready at the border?"
The armored man glanced at him with an indifferent look and said: "This is not your concern, just do your own thing!"
The old man felt a chill in his heart, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but thinking of this man's unpredictable skills and cruel methods, he did not dare to say anything more, and said in a deep voice:
"I have done as you said, but Yuhuatian's martial arts is very high, and the Second East and West Factory and the Jinyiwei are both in his hands. He only has weak control over the Forbidden Army, but I can't get involved in the army, so I can only It’s up to you!”
The armored man said calmly: "Don't worry, I will find a solution for the Forbidden Army."
Hearing this, the old man said nothing more. He looked towards the direction of the palace, sighing in his heart, and a hint of shame flashed in his eyes.
…
The news that the emperor was ill spread quickly throughout the capital without even realizing it, and even ordinary people were talking about it.
Across Kyoto, people are panicking.
With the return of Yuhuatian, the situation has improved slightly, but public opinion is still not under control.
Vaguely, it seemed as if there was a big hand pushing all this.
Even the fact that hundreds of civil and military officials went to Fengtianmen to see the emperor today, but in the end many officials were arrested by people from Xichang, was quickly spread.
Xichang acted overbearingly, causing dissatisfaction among many people, but due to Xichang's evil reputation, these people could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
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 Yuhuatian will definitely plummet.
Except for Zhu Youxiao, no matter who becomes the emperor, they will not allow people like Yuhuatian to continue to exist.
As Zhu Youxiao had no children, everyone knew that once Zhu Youxiao died, those who were qualified to take over the throne would definitely be the few remaining princes surnamed Zhu.
For a time, many people had even secretly contacted those princes they were optimistic about and began to take sides.
When the princes received the news, they also started running to the capital.
I heard that Zhu Youxiao was seriously ill and might die at any time.
At this time, whoever runs faster may become the new emperor of Ming Dynasty. Regardless of their strength, they must give it a try.
Whoever comes first is the emperor!
But before these princes arrived in the capital, an imperial edict suddenly came from the palace——
The emperor has a decree:
The daughter Su Huirong was granted the title of Empress of the Ming Dynasty; the prince Zhu Ciyu was granted the title of Prince of the East Palace; the chief minister of the cabinet, Hai Rui, was granted the title of the crown prince's Tai Tu; the cabinet minister Zhang Juzheng was granted the title of the Prince's Tai Tu; Yu Huatian was granted the title of the Prince's Taibao, and concurrently served as the chief seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies The governor and the governor of Xichang palm seal.
Five consecutive decrees of canonization shocked the entire capital!
Countless people looked confused, what's going on?
When did the emperor have a prince?
Who is this Su Huirong?
There is also Yuhuatian.
Can a eunuch also become the prince's master?
Is Zhu Youxiao sick or crazy?
