Zhu Youji sat on this so-called supreme seat. At this moment, there was no one around, but there was still a surge of emotion in his heart.
No matter how calm-hearted you are, you can't resist those eight characters.
If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live forever.
Aren’t the goals of countless people throughout their lives just for his eight characters?
Isn’t it just for this overwhelming power?
And he has worked hard for so long, isn't it just to control his own destiny?
He was about to get what he wanted.
"Zhiya!"
At this moment, the door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked in.
"You little slaves, please clean up the main hall. His Majesty will hold a court meeting and the ministers will go to court. If you don't clean it up, be careful with your heads..."
The visitor was chattering and giving lectures to the eunuchs and maids behind him.
The eunuchs and maids bowed their heads and said yes.
However, the leading eunuch suddenly discovered that there was a person sitting on the dragon chair.
When he saw the person clearly, he was shocked and almost screamed. He quickly covered his mouth, then turned around suddenly and closed the door fiercely again.
"boom!"
"You guys all kneel down and bow your heads!" Eunuch Sun shouted loudly.
The remaining maids and eunuchs didn't know why, but when they heard Eunuch Sun's voice, they all knelt down and lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.
Eunuch Sun was leaning against the door, panting heavily, his heart beating fast, his face pale, as if he had been greatly frightened.
At this moment, a voice slowly came over.
"Eunuch Sun."
Hearing this voice, Eunuch Sun slowly turned around, looked at the dragon chair facing him, climbed forward tremblingly, and whispered: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness, come down quickly, come down quickly! "
"You can't sit here. If others see you, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Your Highness, come down..."
Eunuch Sun was extremely nervous and could not stand firmly. He finally climbed to the steps and looked at Zhu Youji on the dragon chair with a pleading look on his face.
Zhu Youji calmly looked at Eunuch Sun who was looking frightened and pleading, and said: "Eunuch Sun, you are my father's confidant. Logically speaking, I shouldn't use you. However, for the sake of your true loyalty, In your position, I won’t move.”
"Your Highness, Your Highness, the officials are coming soon. Come down quickly!" Eunuch Sun didn't know what Zhu Youji meant, so he continued to persuade.
"Yes, the officials are coming soon." Zhu Youji nodded and said, "It's better to do some things and words in front of the officials."
"It's boring to sit in this position with only you here."
"Forget it, I'll just wait."
Zhu Youji stood up and slowly walked down the steps.
Eunuch Sun breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and before he knew it, he was sweating profusely.
"Eunuch Sun, go get ready." Zhu Youji ordered, opened the door and strode out.
When the eunuchs and maids saw the door reopened, they thought it was Eunuch Sun coming out.
But unexpectedly, the footsteps are getting farther and farther...
All the eunuchs and maids were astonished. Some dishonest ones were just about to raise their heads to take a peek when they heard Eunuch Sun's voice.
"Lower your head, don't look!"
The bodies of the palace maids and eunuchs trembled, and they did not dare to move. However, their hearts were full of doubts.
Who on earth just walked out of Jinluan Palace?
After a while, Eunuch Sun spoke again: "Come in, everyone, and clean up the house!"
"Yes." The eunuchs and maids then stood up, rushed into the Jinluan Palace, and began to tidy up and clean.
Time passed quickly, and after about an hour, the courtiers entered the Jinluan Hall one after another and stood according to their positions.
Since the emperor fell into coma, the court meetings have rarely been held. Basically, the cabinet and the East Palace jointly handle the review and approval of memorials. Zhu Youji, the supervisor, also decentralized power to a large extent.
Only true about a few things.
"Why is there a court meeting today?"
"It's long past the time for morning court. What exactly do you want to do when you summon us at this point?"
"Who knows? His Highness's methods are unpredictable."
…
The ministers were whispering, obviously feeling a little strange about the sudden convening of the court meeting.
It's not that it's unreasonable, I just think there's something wrong with it.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
"Master Hai, what do you think?" Fu Tiecheng, a bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion, walked to Hai Rui and asked in a low voice.
Hai Rui's expression was calm, and his eyes were quiet and distant, like the calm surface of a lake. He spoke slowly: "It seems that our Acting Crown Prince is going to make big moves."
"Well, yes, who would have thought that he could actually get the support of the top ten generals?"
There are no secrets in official circles. Information can only be blocked for a period of time, but not forever.
The news that Zhu Youji used ten generals to coerce the Queen Mother gradually spread throughout the officialdom of the capital from the mouths of some insiders.
These Beijing officials know best what the support of the top ten generals means?
Whoever has the support of the ten generals means that he has the support of the army.
A prince who controls the military must think carefully even if the emperor wants to move.
Fu Tiecheng's face was not very good. The Qingliu Party was the staunchest supporter of the second prince Zhu Youtang. Now that the fourth prince came to power, it was undoubtedly very bad news for them.
After the fourth prince came to power, if he wanted to attack the courtiers, now that the Yan Party has collapsed, Zhu Wuwu and the royal clan are involved again, and now the only major factions left are the Qingliu Party and the Eunuch Party.
The eunuch has a close relationship with Concubine Wan Guifei, and is considered a family member to the fourth prince Zhu Youji.
How could Zhu Youji attack the eunuchs?
Therefore, the two leaders of the Qingliu Party are under great pressure at the moment.
"Take it one step at a time, the current situation is like this, we can only endure it."
"We can only hope that His Highness is not a violent person, so we still have hope." Hai Rui sighed softly and said slowly.
"Yes, we should have contacted him at that time. We all underestimated His Highness." Fu Tiecheng also regretted that the Qingliu Party had the opportunity to play both sides.
Even if it's just a simple contact, they don't need to be so worried at this moment.
At that time, the power of the fourth prince was not strong. If they were willing to support him, they would still have some love now.
Now it is impossible to contact him again.
The icing on the cake is worse than providing help in times of need!
"Master, do you really plan to take action now?" Li Gexiao looked at the delicate surroundings and asked in a low voice.
Zheng Dongliu looked seriously, looked at the empty dragon chair, and said in a deep voice: "Time waits for us not. I am a little unprepared for His Highness's rise to power. I don't know when His Majesty will wake up. If I don't take action now, I will wait until His Highness gets rid of Hai Rui and the others." People, the eunuchs are the only ones in the family, so we are the ones who will die."
"I am afraid that taking advantage of the general situation to launch an attack will anger His Highness." Li Gexiao hesitated. Although he did not know Zhu Youji's character, he always felt that it was definitely not a wise move to offend the acting prince at this moment.
Although Zheng Dongliu's idea is right, it is still very risky.
Moreover, this risk is very high.
Eunuch Sun appeared at the door of the hall at some unknown time. He dragged out his long tail and shouted in a high-pitched voice:
