Under the deliberate leakage of the secret by a caring person intentionally or unintentionally, the news spread outside the Forbidden City less than an hour after the incident, and then spread rapidly inside the capital. The civil and military ministers of the DPRK were completely shocked, and hundreds of people in the capital were
All the soldiers and civilians were also completely shocked, and there was an uproar among the government and the public...
"The emperor gave the prince food to eat, but the food was poisonous, causing the death of several people in the palace. The Dowager Empress Dowager Zhou was shocked when she heard about it, and she fainted in the palace. When the emperor heard the news, he was silent for a long time, and continued to spread the news.
After summoning several close eunuchs, Fang ordered the imperial doctor to go to the imperial kitchen for diagnosis and treatment. He also ordered people to inspect the imperial kitchen and strictly ordered not to leak the news. However, how could such a big thing not be spread out of the palace?" Sun Jizong
There was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. As the eldest son of Huichang Bo, he is not old at all in his fifties. Although he experienced a period of depression during the Tumu Fortress, he is now full of energy and vitality.
On the contrary, God is more sufficient than before.
Five people, father and son, were sitting in the study room in the backyard. All the servants had been driven out. They usually relied on servants to bring tea and water. They were pouring and drinking by themselves at this moment, and the joy in their hearts completely overflowed on their faces.
The wrinkles on Old Sun Zhong's chrysanthemum-like old face seemed to have been smoothed out by the iron. He stroked his snowy beard and nodded repeatedly. "The words of the Dalang are very kind. Haha, I'm afraid, the emperor has already had it."
This plan was just that he hadn't had time to take action yet, otherwise, at the beginning of the incident, how could he have been so anxious to inform his trusted eunuchs?"
"Perhaps he thought it was the eunuchs who were close to him who did it for the sake of credit, but that's fine. If the news of this scene leaks out, it will further confirm the previous rumors." The third son, Shaozong, looked happy.
It is the happiest and most relieving thing for these former uncles to be able to see the current emperor's fortunes in such a state of schadenfreude.
Since the new emperor came to the throne, even though the Queen Mother was here, the new emperor did not dare to blatantly clean up the Sun family. However, his small actions also made them quite angry. Although their situation was not getting worse, it was certain that the family was left in the cold.
, it is obvious that the power in his hands was gradually eroded by the people sent by the new emperor.
Not only them, many ministers who were highly regarded in the Zhengtong Dynasty also felt a strong sense of vigilance and crisis because of Zhu Qiyu's promotion of newcomers. This made them pay extra attention and concern to the words and deeds of the emperor today.
If something like this happened, and they were secretly fueling the situation, I don't believe that this cruel attack could not hurt Zhu Qiyu's bones. At least, it would make his prestige plummet. In the future, even his own nephew would dare to blatantly do so.
Who dares to believe in the character of the emperor who committed murder? Who can guarantee that this emperor will turn his back on others at every turn?
In this way, he will inevitably push the officials to oppose him.

By that time, if their good nephew Zhu Qizhen does more things in the border town of Xuanfu that make people all over the world feel proud and praised, by that time, Zhu Qiyu's position as the emperor will probably become even worse.
The ground is unstable...
When he thought of the series of consequences that this good show would have, Sun Shaozong felt like he was almost trembling with excitement.
"Speaking of which, it is our good nephew who can do anything. Originally we were helpless and could only defend passively. Who would have thought that he could come up with such a good strategy after just a slight change of thought. Not only can he avert danger, but he can also take advantage of the situation and ruthlessly
It's a blow to the prestige of today's emperor." Sun Jizong chuckled and raised his hand to stroke his forehead. During this period of time, he became more and more relaxed. The original worries disappeared with Zhu Qizhen's continuous moves.
And they all dispersed.
Although Zhu Qizhen was no longer the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but just the abdicated emperor, he had a feeling that Zhu Qizhen seemed to be able to return to the court again, although Sun Jizong didn't quite understand where his feeling came from.
However, after hearing about Zhu Qizhen's series of deeds, overt and covert methods and plans after the Tumubao Incident, he always felt that this would become a reality.
"Yes, it's actually very simple, but no one could have thought of it." Sun Zhong couldn't help but laugh. "What a clever move, but a clumsy one."
"Father's words are very kind." Sun Zhong, as a father, said this, and the four sons nodded. Indeed, a very simple change of thinking has achieved good results, which cannot but be admired by them.
The smile on Sun Zhong's face gradually faded, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness, and the old voice became deeper and deeper: "However, it is definitely not an easy task to allow His Highness the Crown Prince to leave the palace. You still need to work harder."
Be careful, do you understand? The Emperor does not want His Highness to stay in the palace any longer."
After hearing Sun Zhong's words, the four sons who were originally smiling all changed to solemn expressions. This is definitely not an easy thing. "Father, after this incident, the emperor's prestige has been frustrated. He will naturally be timid when he acts. I don't expect His Royal Highness to do anything."
There should be no worries about your safety, so why should His Majesty the Emperor take risks again?" Sun Jizong couldn't help but frown.
"That's because the Supreme Emperor has something to say." Sun Zhong glanced at his sons who were full of doubts, and said calmly but solemnly: "I don't want His Highness to be like him in the past..."
After hearing this, everyone in the study fell silent. No one could stand up to argue for this reason. Yes, the bad things Zhu Qizhen did in the past are still vivid in his mind. Those bad things
, let alone outsiders, even members of my own family feel embarrassed.
If His Highness the Crown Prince is really well-educated in the palace, the Supreme Emperor is far away in the Xuan Mansion, and the Emperor does not want to see him now, maybe after this incident, he will hate him even more deeply...
When I think about the possibility that Zhu Qizhen's son will be better than his father in the future, God knows what the Ming Dynasty will be like, and as relatives of the Sun family, they don't know how many people will poke their backs. Everyone can't help but feel anxious.
I shuddered, your sister, it seems that she really can't think of anything to do.
"Don't worry, you don't need to do much. The Supreme Emperor has already made arrangements. As long as the courtiers are willing to seize this excuse, they can force me to submit. Even if I want to go my own way, haha..." Sun Zhong
He stroked his snow beard, and his old eyes, which were almost covered by eyelids, shone brightly. "The Empress Dowager is still here. She is Emperor Xuan's empress after all, and is the emperor's nominal mother-empress..."
"Then if it really comes to this, wouldn't our Sun family be at odds with today's emperor?" Sun Jizong's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but exhale in a low voice.
"So what if we break up? Isn't there any room for maneuver between our old Sun family, your sister, the Supreme Emperor, and the current emperor now?" Sun Zhong glanced at his eldest son. "The successor.
, it is good to be cautious, but sometimes, being cautious can make things worse. Do you understand?"
"My child understands." After hearing Sun Zhong's earnest warning, Sun Jizong's face turned slightly red and he responded respectfully to his father.
"Although I and the Empress Dowager have already made arrangements for this matter, there are some tricks that only you can do, and no one can catch you." Sun Zhong's face darkened again, and his voice became darker.
The lower the pressure...

"What's going on?" Zhu Qiyu sat on the dragon chair with a livid face, his eyes were like a lone wolf with nowhere to go, staring fiercely at the man kneeling at the foot of the steps, rustling like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
Like Jin Xing.
"Long live my lord, I have already conducted a thorough investigation. All the cooks and eunuchs who were on duty that day in the Shangri-La Superintendent's Office have been locked up and interrogated strictly. But, but..." Jin Xing's head dropped lower and lower.
"Damn it! It's been two days since the incident, couldn't you find out the person who poisoned or instigated it?!" Zhu Qiyu's slightly darkened eye circles showed that he had not been able to find out since the accident.
He had had a good rest, and the corners of his mouth that were twitching nervously showed how nervous and angry he was inside.
Although, although Zhu Qiyu admitted that he really wanted to do this, he wanted to kill his nephew and let his son Zhu Jianshen ascend to the throne of the prince in a legitimate and legitimate manner.
However, how could he use such a simple, clumsy, and blatant method to kill Zhu Jianji? After all, he was seriously ill and died of ineffective treatment. How could he use this?
But now, something like this suddenly happened. The Queen Mother ate the food given by the Emperor, and two palace members died and two were injured. After the Queen Mother fainted, she did not get better in two days, and the ministers made strong demands.
A thorough investigation will lead to the murderer being found, and the nine clansmen should be punished as a tribute to others.
After all, this is the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty that such a heinous thing has happened in the palace. If something unexpected happens to the prince, not to mention how the officials will react, the people in the world will be worried all day long.
He is the backbone of today's world.
Therefore, he was so worried that he had to give an explanation to the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China, and to the people all over the world, to prove that he was actually innocent. However, after searching and searching, there was no clue, and it even made people feel that there was something evil inside.
First, Zheng Yin, the eunuch in charge of Shangshan Supervisor, committed suicide by taking poison on the day of the accident and half an hour before the incident. However, it was only after the incident that the Ouchi guards went to check Shangshan Supervisor.
The body of the No. 1 Shangshan Supervisor was found.
According to the investigation, before Na Shuliang left Na Shang Shan Prison, he had a fierce quarrel with the palm print eunuch, the specific content of which was unknown. Subsequently, many eunuchs of Shang Shan Prison saw the palm print eunuch looking extremely pale.
After leaving the room where the two of them were staying, this was the last time he appeared in front of everyone.
But Shu Liang insisted that the quarrel between Zheng Yin and him was just because more than twenty years ago, when he was still a eunuch in the palace, he borrowed fifteen taels of silver from Zheng Yin, and now Zheng Yin wanted him to pay back the money.
After hearing this explanation, not to mention others, even Zhu Qiyu was shocked on the spot...
