Zhu Ye narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Brother Liu really sees clearly. I have only recently discovered the true intention of the eunuch. He simply wants to attack my Zhu family and my Neo-Confucian lineage."
ah!"
Stroking his beard, Liu Li sneered: "So this matter is not only related to the inheritance of the Zhu family, but also directly related to the future of Neo-Confucianism. I and many friends in the capital will never sit idly by!"
Zhu Ye stood up, saluted Liu Li and said, "I, Mrs. Zhu, will never forget this kindness!"
Liu Li helped Zhu Ye up and the two sat down. Liu Li looked at Zhu Ye and said: "The Zhu family has been passed down for hundreds of years. There must be something secret in this capital. I don't know..."
The Zhu family must have their own people in the court, and everyone knows this.
Zhu Ye knew Liu Li's intention just by hearing Liu Li speak. He only heard Zhu Ye whisper the names of several officials in Liu Li's ear.
After hearing this, Liu Li couldn't help but a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect that the Zhu family had so many high-ranking officials in the court.
You must know that if Zhu Ye hadn't told him, even he wouldn't have thought that these officials would be members of the Zhu family.
Seeing Liu Li leave, Zhu Ye sat there cross-legged and sighed for a long time.
After Liu Li left Tianlao, he immediately started running around, contacting the backbone of the Neo-Confucian lineage, and preparing to find a way to rescue the Zhu family.
At this time, rumors about Emperor Zhu Houzhao spread in the capital.
The rumors are conclusive that Zhu Houzhao was actually seriously ill and unconscious. As the emperor, he was unable to take charge of the government and might die at any time.
Because it involves the emperor, this rumor spread in the capital almost immediately. It can be said that among the people in the capital, almost everyone with noses and eyes knew about the rumor.
Of course, most people don't really believe it, but as long as Zhu Houzhao doesn't show up for a day, there will be a market for this rumor.
In the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Mian looked at Mu Zhaigong and said: "Teacher, the rumors have spread now. If it takes a few more days, unless the emperor shows up in person, the people in the capital will believe it."
Stroking his beard, Mu Zhaigong chuckled and said: "As you said, rumors are just rumors after all. As soon as Zhu Houzhao shows up, the rumors will be self-defeating. However, Zhu Houzhao is in coma and the public in the capital is furious. Next, you have to
Together with hundreds of officials in the court, we sent a letter to the Queen Mother, imploring her to convene a court meeting to discuss the succession of the throne."
Jiang Mian took a deep breath, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, mentor, my disciple will definitely force the Queen Mother to make a decision early."
Kunning Palace.
Zhu Houzhao, whose leg injury had recovered a bit, was sitting in front of the desk. He took a secret report from Chu Yi and opened it. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sneered: "It seems they really spent a lot of money."
After all the hard work, within a day or two, the news spread all over the capital, and I really underestimated their power."
Chu Yi was sitting in the first place under Zhu Houzhao. Hearing this, he said: "The matter involves Your Majesty. Rumors naturally spread quickly. In fact, their power is not as strong as Your Majesty imagined."
There are Jin Yiwei, Dongchang and even Xichang secretly watching to see who the people in Muzhaigong's line are. It can be said that Chu Yi has mastered seven or eighty-eight by now.
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, put the secret report on the table, looked at Chu Yi, and said with a bit of hope in his eyes: "Big companion, it's time to capture these people. If there is no rebellion by King Ning,
I could sit patiently and wait for them to jump out one by one, but now I don't have the patience and don't have so much time to spend with them.
Chu Yi stood up slowly, saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, please wait patiently for the good news!"
Chu Yi said with a slight smile on his lips: "But I suggest that your Majesty ask the Queen Mother to preside over the court meeting tomorrow, so that all the civil and military officials in Beijing and China can be present."
Seeing that Chu Yi agreed to his proposal and also suggested that the Queen of Heaven preside over the court meeting, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a bit of excitement on his face: "The big companion is worthy of being the big companion, I am really looking forward to it, when the time comes
What will be the reaction of the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China when they see me!"
A sound of footsteps came from outside, and Gu Dayong was seen walking into the room, holding a large pile of memorials in his hand.
The eyes of Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi naturally fell on these memorials, and they heard Gu Dayong say: "Your Majesty, Manager Chu, these memorials were presented to the Queen Mother by the Cabinet and the Chief of Ceremonies today. The Queen Mother ordered the old slave to send them
Give it to His Majesty for approval."
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly.
As Zhu Houzhao opened the memorials, Zhu Houzhao's face became a little ugly. After reading the pile of memorials, Zhu Houzhao's face was so gloomy that water could almost drip from his face.
With a bang, Zhu Houzhao slapped the table: "Damn it, these are my civil and military officials. I'm not dead yet, and they want to force the Queen Mother to choose a new king. What do they want?"
do what!"
After all, it was announced that Zhu Houzhao was unconscious. Generally speaking, unless the emperor really died, few people would dare to propose the election of a new emperor.
However, among these memorials, there were actually many important officials in the court. These people wrote to the Queen Mother one by one. Looking at their posture, they seemed to be impatient.
No wonder Zhu Houzhao had such a big reaction. After all, in Zhu Houzhao's view, these officials were so eager to choose a new king because they simply wanted him to die soon.
Even with the premise that he concealed the facts, the reactions of these officials still greatly disappointed Zhu Houzhao. Even though he was in a coma, he was not dead yet.
This made Zhu Houzhao have to wonder, if one day he was really in a coma for a few days, would he become the Supreme Emperor after waking up, or would he be directly killed in the coma and become the late emperor.
Chu Yi flipped through a few memorials and smiled slightly: "Why does your Majesty need to be acquainted with these people? Isn't this just right? Since they begged the Queen Mother to preside over the meeting, isn't this just in line with our wishes?"
Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, nodded slowly and said: "What the big companion said is that I happened to comply with their wishes!"
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao looked at Gu Dayong and said, "Gu Dayong, please go and report to the Queen Mother Ming and tell her that I will ask her to pass the imperial edict to the civil and military officials and preside over the court meeting tomorrow!"
Gu Dayong was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Old slave, go ahead now."
After Gu Dayong left, he saw Chu Yi handing one of the folders to Zhu Houzhao and saying, "Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Glancing at Chu Yi doubtfully, Zhu Houzhao took several memorials handed over by Chu Yi. After reading them, he couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Do they think I'm really going to die? I've said it before,
The Zhu family's crime of assassinating the emperor cannot be pardoned, but these people still jointly signed a letter, do they really think that I don't exist?"
The atmosphere in the capital has been very strange these days, as if there are endless waves under the calm sea.
On this day, a decree came out in the palace, which immediately shocked the civil and military officials who were concerned about every move in the palace.
The Queen Mother has issued a decree that all civil and military officials in Beijing will enter the palace tomorrow to participate in the great court meeting presided over by the Queen Mother.
In Jiao Fang's residence, dozens of officials couldn't help but focus on Fang's residence. Each of these people looked a little nervous.
They were all promoted by Chu Yi. They were branded by Chu Yi and were intimidated by Chu Yi. These officials can be said to occupy most of the important positions in the court, but after all, their foundation is not stable. Once they support them
If something unexpected happens to Chu Yi or the Emperor, they will definitely be the first to suffer misfortune.
During this period, rumors were flying all over the capital. Sometimes the emperor died, and sometimes he fell into coma, which naturally made people feel uneasy.
Now the Queen Mother has actually issued a decree to preside over a court meeting. In the eyes of many officials, this move almost confirms the rumors not long ago.
If the Emperor had no accident, how could the Queen Mother convene a court meeting? Since the Queen Mother was forced to hold a court meeting, it can only mean that the Emperor had an accident.
Jiao Fang actually didn't know much, but as the representative of the eunuch party, Jiao Fang naturally wanted to stabilize the emotions of everyone.
Jiao Fang coughed slightly and said, "Everyone, although there is a decree from the palace, it does not mean that the emperor has really had an accident. Isn't it ridiculous for everyone to get into chaos one by one?
An official couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "It's not that we are in trouble, but the current situation really makes us think too much."
Jiao Fang waved her hands and said: "It's useless to be anxious. The Governor's whereabouts are unknown. What happened to Your Majesty will be revealed at the meeting tomorrow. But no matter what, we must hold firm."
Compared with the panic among people in Jiao Fang's mansion, a number of important civil and military officials gathered in Jiang Mian's mansion, and the faces of these officials were full of excitement.
On weekdays, they were forced by Chu Yi's power and could only act cautiously. They did not dare to reveal their dissatisfaction with Chu Yi, and watched helplessly as the power in their hands was taken away by the eunuch officials headed by Jiao Fang.
It is naturally impossible to say that these people are not aggrieved, but under the threat of Chu Yi's vicious reputation, they do not dare to show their thoughts at all.
However, now, these people no longer have to hide their inner resentment.
A minister's face was full of excitement, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's not in vain that we endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden. Now we can finally see the moonlight when the clouds clear. It's really an eye-opener for God. The Hunjun has finally passed away..."
Jiang Mian couldn't help but cough slightly when he heard the words. If any interested person heard this, once it reached the emperor, he would definitely be punished by death.
