When lightning fell, Wang An arrived in front of the majestic Huangji Gate.
Huangji Gate is located between the Meridian Gate and the Three Main Halls. It is the most grand and spectacular gatehouse in the imperial palace. It is a place used by the emperor when he goes to court to listen to politics at the beginning of every tenth month, or when he summons ministers on important festivals.
Especially during the Wanli period, the Huangji Gate and the three main halls were damaged. Currently, the Huangji Gate has been repaired, but the three main halls have not yet been repaired. This is the commanding heights of the palace for the time being.
Wang An arrived here and saw Zhu Youjian, the fifth son of the emperor, in front of Huangji Gate.
This young prince, who is only 10 years old, has no immature look on his face. Instead, he looks very calm and comfortable.
"Wang Daban, you are here."
"I have seen the emperor's fifth son. It's going to rain heavily. Please be careful."
When Zhu Youjian saw Wang An advising him to pay attention to his safety, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyebrows, but he quickly said in a brisk and clean voice: "Okay, I will definitely listen to my companion's instructions."
He seemed to have remembered something and said quickly: "By the way, Mr. Hui Shiyang is here. I have already met with him. You can discuss the rest of the matter."
"Okay! Please be careful, the fifth emperor."
Wang An watched Zhu Youjian and Cao Huachun leave, thinking that this time the final solution to the chaos would depend on the emperor's fifth son to come forward.
As long as the fifth emperor is here, everything will be settled.
After a while, Wei Chao came with Yan Guan Hui Shiyang.
Hui Shiyang has already entered the palace through his own connections.
Luo Sigong, commander of the Jinyi Guards, and a group of Meridian Gate guards opened the door for Hui Shiyang and others, led him into the palace, and first exchanged the attitudes of many upright ministers with the emperor's fifth son.
When Wang An met Hui Shiyang, only Wei Chao and Luo Sigong were present, and no outsiders were present.
Now that’s the case, let’s not beat around the bush.
Hui Shiyang glanced at Luo Sigong, and after receiving a confirmed look, he said to Wang And: "The Meridian Gate can be done. The Huangji Gate is a bit difficult, and it will take a day to prepare."
Wang An nodded: "I have people in Qianqing Palace, and you have met the fifth emperor, so there is no problem now."
"No, no, no~" Hui Shiyang raised his chin and nodded to the east.
Wang An's eyes dimmed and he whispered: "The biggest threat is in the East Palace. We must have an elite army to deal with him, otherwise we will not be able to rush out of the Qianqing Palace and the edict will not be read out."
"Don't worry, everything is ready~"
Flashes of lightning flashed across, and the daylight illuminated their nervousness under pressure, mixed with expressions of anticipation and excitement.
"Let's arrange it this way!"
Hui Shiyang stayed in the palace and arranged manpower, preparing to control key areas such as the Meridian Gate at critical moments, and then maintained contact with Wang An.
Now Wang An can keep an eye on Qianqing Palace, and there is no need to run outside to Cining Palace.
You can find out the situation in Taichang immediately and be alert to Li Xuanshi, Zheng Guifei and the prince.
……
It soon started pouring rain.
It was stormy, but it only took a stick of incense to leave and we were able to walk smoothly.
When Wang An returned to Qianqing Palace, he saw Li Xuanshi and others crying.
"His Majesty?"
Li Xuanshi kept crying until he was so weak that he didn't answer him at all.
Gao Qiqiang, who had been watching by the side, replied: "There was thunder and lightning just now, and His Majesty fell into a coma."
What!?
"Your Majesty is still here...but he was struck by lightning and fell into coma. Before he passed out, he sent an order not to enter..."
Wang An didn't feel sad at all, but instead felt happy.
He saw with his own eyes what kind of chains the prince's people were making there, and the prince himself put on a set of armor...
The prince murdered his father?
This is great!
The death of Taichang is a good opportunity. The prince himself stands under a dangerous wall. This is a double blessing~
Wang An became excited and immediately asked the Wei Dynasty to contact Hui Shiyang and Luo Sigong to ask them to prepare as soon as possible. He personally watched the Qianqing Palace and must see the condition of Emperor Taichang with his own eyes.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao and the imperial guards were busy working here and there for a while, and everyone was sweating profusely.
"Your Highness! Everything in the palace has been wiped dry, and there is no more water or moisture!"
Liu Qiao was sweating profusely and carefully checked every detail.
After all, Beijing is in the north, and the rapid thunderstorms do bring a lot of precipitation, but it will be sunny in the next few days and there will be no continuous rain.
After the main hall of Qianqing Palace was settled, Zhu Youxiao and everyone high-fived and encouraged each other.
It took a while for the royal guards to realize that this was the prince. According to traditional etiquette, it was taboo not to mention high-fives but even to talk on an equal footing.
But Zhu Youxiao is different. He treats everyone equally as his own.
If Mozi's "righteousness" is a theory, then the prince's personal example is its embodiment.
Everyone knows that this is really the right person.
He no longer just thought about being in the prince's lap and becoming a successful person, but he recognized what he had done from the bottom of his heart and knew that Ming Dynasty would make a difference in him.
Zhu Youxiao looked at everyone and said in a loud voice: "This is just the beginning. I will be busy moving things here later. But for more than 20 days of working on gunpowder, isn't it just for this moment?"
"Yes! We will definitely eradicate the traitors."
Zhu Youxiao looked at everyone and concluded: "Remember one thing, don't attack, praise or punish."
"Don't attack, praise or punish! Don't attack others, but punish evildoers!" Liu Qiao and others answered loudly.
"Good! Very energetic!"
He looked at Liu Qiao and others who, under his guidance, had rediscovered the original intention of establishing Jin Yiwei, felt very happy in his heart.
Jinyiwei, how did Dongchang develop into an evil party?
They obviously respect Yue Fei very much, and they are a group of military aspiring warriors from Guan Gong~
Since the Jinyiwei style is no longer there, let’s use the name of the Mohist family to cheer them up again.
Zhu Youxiao led everyone out of Qianqing Palace and met Li Xuanshi and others waiting outside.
He leaned closer and whispered: "Father, the situation has stabilized for the time being, and I will ask Mother Li to take good care of him for a while."
Then he walked directly towards Wang An, blocking his straight path into Qianqing Palace.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Looking at Wang An's anxious expression, I thought to myself: This Wang An is really stupid, his acting skills are not up to standard, and yet he is still acting as the internal minister?
"Wang Daban, father is taking a break for the time being."
"Okay, that's all thanks to His Majesty the Crown Prince. Your Majesty has been unable to sleep well for more than ten days, and now it's all thanks to the Crown Prince."
"This is what I should do."
When Zhu Youxiao stopped Wang An, Li Xuanshi quickly wiped away her tears, led her people to the Qianqing Palace, and rushed to Taichang before Wang An.
After waiting for half a stick of incense, Zhu Youxiao returned to the East Palace with the Jin Yiwei, and Wang An had time to enter the Qianqing Palace.
There were no lights in the palace, and it was dark in front of Emperor Taichang's bed.
Wang An quickly came closer, opened his eyes carefully, and saw that Emperor Taichang was indeed lying quietly on the bed, with Li Xuan at his side carefully wiping his sweat.
"Your Majesty?"
He called softly, but of course there was no response.
Carefully approaching, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Because you can barely see the ups and downs of Taichang's breathing.
I put my hand slightly in front of my nose and felt that the air was like a gossamer and my breathing was very weak.
Thank you, leader? 100% leader, thank you so much. There will be an update chapter for the leader meeting tonight
