Such a big omission made Zhu Youxiao really angry.
Since he ascended the throne, it can be said that he has attached the most importance to Jin Yiwei.
Xu Xianchun also gave his full support to the expansion of Jin Yiwei's power and hundreds of thousands of taels of funds, which were actually given to him.
He also guaranteed more than once that all civil and military ministers and officials in the entire capital were under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei.
But at this critical moment, a dignified six-bu minister and the prince of the feudal lord got together, and they didn't notice it at all.
"I will only give you one last chance. If something like this happens again in the future, your role as commander will come to an end."
At this time, Xu Xianchun's heart rate reached a peak. He was afraid that if the emperor was furious, he would die on the spot.
But when he heard that the emperor gave him another chance, Xu Xianchun didn't expect it at all, and shouted excitedly:
"I understand, and your Majesty can rest assured that I will never let down your Majesty's expectations. I must fulfill my duties loyally and conscientiously."
After Xu Xianchun carefully exited, Nuange seemed extremely quiet.
There wasn't even a single person gasping for breath. Everyone knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, and they didn't want to get into trouble.
After a long time, Zhu Youxiao, who had his eyes closed as if sleeping on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and said:
"How are the harem and middle palace?"
As the admiral of Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian reacted very quickly and immediately replied:
"Back to Lord Long Live, the two palaces still don't know what happened in the front palace. The old slave has already blocked the news according to the rules set by His Majesty."
"You should know what to say when the news is released, and pay close attention to the reactions and trends of the two palaces."
"I want to know who they meet and what they say every day."
"I want to see what the attitudes of these two concubines and empresses, who come from scholar-bureaucrat families, will be like."
"Wei Zhongxian, your Dongchang won't let me down again, right?"
Listening to the emperor's slightly chilling voice, Wei Zhongxian's heart tightened and he replied with a flattering smile:
"Long live the Lord, please relax, I will take care of this matter immediately."
Zhu Youxiao had never truly trusted these two masters of the middle palace and the harem from the beginning to the end.
Zhang Yan has accepted Confucianism since she was a child, and her father has an extremely ambiguous relationship with the Donglin Party.
[By the way, it is currently the best for reading and listening to books. Install the latest version. 】
As for Concubine Liu, she is similar to Zhang Yan, and there must be a connection between her and the civil servants.
It's just that Concubine Zheng is impossible for Zhu Youxiao to accept, and she is the most senior person in the harem.
Although she is old and frail now, and she is devoted to praying to Buddha and chanting Taoism, she still needs someone in the harem to control the situation.
The palace is as deep as the sea, and Zhu Youxiao does not have the time and energy to take care of these trivial matters every day, as long as he is out of sight and out of mind.
Lying on the bed and looking at the splendor of the Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao felt that he was under a lot of pressure.
There are too many things waiting for him to do. Not to mention Qin Liangyu's campaign in the southwest, the White Lotus Sect is about to rebel in Shandong. Just the mess in the capital has exhausted his time and energy.
"Long live Lord, the supervisor is requesting an audience outside the palace, saying that he has something to decide."
Just when Zhu Youxiao wanted to take a good rest, Zhu Changhao came again.
And the purpose of his coming was to make Zhu Youxiao feel dizzy.
"Your Majesty, Xu Guangqi and the king of Jin came to see me just now and asked me about who will succeed you after your majesty's funeral."
Zhu Changhao said this very carefully. He was caught in the middle of this big fight and was really afraid from the bottom of his heart.
Neither the emperor nor the civil and military ministers could afford to offend him. After decades of living, this was the first time he felt that living in the world was so difficult.
After hearing Zhu Changhao's report, Zhu Youxiao was not too surprised.
This is exactly what he hopes to see. After all, if people don't care for themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
Although Xu Guangqi and Wang Zaijin were his confidants and promoted by himself, they are now in high positions of power.
Although he has absolute recognition of their talents, Zhu Youxiao is not a roundworm in their stomachs after all. I don't know what they are thinking.
He just wanted to use this matter to get a clear understanding of what these ministers of his were like.
Let’s see if they can control themselves in the face of the interests of human nature, and if they can stick to their original aspirations and move forward.
"How did you answer."
"I replied to them that your Majesty has not yet recovered from his illness, and there is no candidate for his successor. I have no way of knowing, and I have no right to ask."
"I understand."
"Now the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government have their own thoughts. You must be careful and think twice about everything, and don't let them see anything strange."
"According to the decree."

After the princes of Jin and Qin came out of the palace, their innermost fear of the emperor still lingered.
Those eyes that were almost soul-stirring really made the two of them frightened.
Now that they had been warned clearly by the emperor, they no longer dared to take any chances.
After returning to Prince Xin's Mansion, where he was temporarily staying, Zhu Cunshu, the prince of Qin, quickly got in touch with Zhang Ruitu's people.
Following the emperor's instructions, and adding some random fabrications of his own, he told a false news.
When the messenger learned that the emperor did not know whether to live or die, he did not dare to delay at all. He hurriedly left the palace and went straight to Zhang's mansion.
"Is what you said true?"
Zhang Ruitu, who was thinking a lot at home, met with him as soon as he learned that the messenger had returned.
After learning that the emperor was alive and dead, especially when he heard that Wei Zhongxian was always on the side and was driven out of the palace without saying a word, he could not suppress his inner impulse at all.
In his opinion, even if the emperor is not dead, it is only a matter of these few days.
Now the entire capital has fallen into an unusual silence, and officials no matter which party they belong to are silent now.
Everyone is waiting for confirmed news from the palace.
From this point of view, he dared to conclude that the emperor would never survive. The only thing that worried him was when he would die?
Listening to his master's question, the messenger also answered affirmatively:
"Master, this is what the prince said. If they did not deceive the villain, then the villain dares to guarantee with his head that every word and every word is true."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Zhang Ruitu said three good words in a row, which shows how excited he was.
I saw him pacing back and forth in the lobby, muttering:
"In this way, I can achieve great things."
After walking back and forth for a few times, he suddenly stopped facing the wall and said with a sinister look in his eyes:
"Then Zhu Changhao is just a loser waiting to die. He has no ability at all. How can he be my opponent?"
