"Hurry up! Quickly wake up His Highness Prince Yu!"
"His Majesty is seriously ill and urgently summons His Highness Prince Yu into the palace.”
Outside the Imperial Residence, Xu Jiegao's voice was urgent. Behind the two of them was Zhang Juzheng from the Imperial Academy.
" His Highness Prince Yu has just fallen asleep…" a servant of Prince Yu's Residence said. Divine Marquis Tiedan had already ordered Zhu Zaihou to leave the capital and personally interrogate the events that had transpired at the summit of the Forbidden City.
In Prince Yu's residence, the butler Cao Zhengchun was in charge. This servant was Zhu Zaihou's second butler.
"Quickly wake up His Highness Prince Yu!" Gao Gong was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
"Alright, alright, I will go wake up Prince Yu…"
The servants of Prince Yu's Mansion entered Zhu Zaihou's bedroom and saw that Prince Yu was sleeping soundly.
This servant couldn't bear to wake up Prince Yu who had just fallen asleep.
However, Grand Secretary Xu and Lord Gao were so terrified. Something big was about to happen.
The servant bent down beside the young man and called out softly,""Your Highness, wake up. Grand Secretary Xu and Lord Gao are here.”
" Your Highness, wake up! Your Highness, wake up…"
The servant saw Zhu Zaihou sleeping soundly and reached out to push him.
Zhu Zaihou opened his eyes.
When the servant saw Prince Yu open his eyes, he said in a low voice,"Prince Yu, Grand Secretary Xu and Grand Secretary Gao have something important to report!”
Outside the bedroom of Prince Yu's residence, the hot-tempered Gao Gong could no longer hold himself back and was about to charge into the bedroom.
The shrewd and cunning Xu Jie grabbed Gao Gong's sleeve to stop him from barging in.
"Gao Shangshu! From now on, you must be even more respectful to His Highness Prince Yu. You must not slack off!”
Gao Gong was pulled by Xu Jie and suddenly understood what Xu Jie meant.
If Emperor Jiajing couldn't survive this and passed away, then one of them would have to choose between King Jing and King Yu to inherit the throne.
The Crown Prince was seriously ill and could no longer get out of bed. His flesh and bones were like firewood and he would not be able to hold on until the end of the year.
If Emperor Jiajing died, one of his three sons, King Yu, and four sons, King Jing, would be chosen to inherit the Ming Empire.
Xu Jie and Gao Gong were Zhu Zaihou's teachers and belonged to the Yu King Faction.
Yan Song was King Jing's teacher and belonged to King Jing Sect.
At present, the cabinet chief Xia Yan was taken into prison, and in the court, Yan Song was powerful. How could Xu Jie and Gao Gong not be anxious?
If Yan Song recommended King Jing to ascend the throne, no matter how vast the Ming Empire was, there would be no place for Xu Jie and Gao Gong.
Therefore, Xu Jie and Gao Gong had to risk everything to protect Prince Yu's ascension to the throne.
If Prince Yu ascended the throne, he would be the Emperor of Great Ming. From this moment on, they had to be cautious in their words and actions, and treat His Highness Prince Yu as the Emperor of Great Ming!
It was precisely because of this that Xu Jie warned Gao Gong to be more respectful to His Highness Prince Yu!
Most importantly, at the summit of the Forbidden City, His Highness Prince Yu was showing off his might. King Jing was no longer able to stand up to His Highness Prince Yu!
……
Zhu Zaihou had been in this world for two years.
Zhu Zaihou was very familiar with the history of the Jiajing Emperor. The Jiajing era was an era of famous officials.
There are Xia Yan, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and other civil officials.
The famous generals were Li Chengliang, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou.
Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei Commander Lu Bing, Qing Guan Hai Rui, famous doctor Li Shizhen…
The treacherous officials were even more famous.
Who doesn't know the reputation of Yan Song, a treacherous minister?
This was a magnificent era!
After Zhu Zaihou changed into the prince's python robe, he was in high spirits!
Zhu Zaihou came to this world with great ambitions!
Since he had come to the Ming Empire, where the emperor guarded the country gates and the king died for the country!
Coming to such a magnificent era, how could he be mediocre? Wouldn't it be a heaven-sent opportunity?
Zhu Zaihou's body was that of a ten-year-old youth, but his soul was that of an adult. Moreover, he was an ambitious soul who wanted to stir up the world and watch the ups and downs of the official sea!
……
Inside the Prince Yu's residence.
Zhu Zaihou changed into his python robe. Gao Gong and Xu Jie entered the dormitory, while Zhang Juzheng was left outside.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, this old minister can bring Your Highness Prince Yu into the palace. After entering the palace, Your Highness need not say anything. Leave everything to this old minister and Gao Gong.”Xu Jie said when he saw Zhu Zaihou.
Zhu Zaihou looked at Gao Gong and Xu Jie.
Ding dong. Wisdom Eye automatically activated. It could detect the attributes and characteristics of famous officials and generals.
After the system notification sounded.
The names and attributes of Xu Jie and Gao Gong appeared in Zhu Zaihou's vision.
Xu Jie was tall and thin, and his face revealed an unperturbed expression that had not changed for ten thousand years.
Gao Gong was slightly shorter, his face was like a jujube, resolute and good at cutting.

Zhu Zaihou looked at the servant of Prince Yu's residence and saw that the servant did not reveal his attributes.
It was obvious that the servant was not a famous official or general.
When Zhu Zaihou checked their attributes, the two of them had already told him the news that Emperor Jiajing was seriously ill.
"Your Highness Prince Yu, enter the palace immediately.”
Zhu Zaihou nodded and walked out of the bedroom with Xu Jie and Gao Gong.
Zhu Zaihou had just stepped out of the dormitory.
Outside the dormitory, a person bowed and said,""This subject, Zhang Juzheng, greets His Highness Prince Yu.”
"Zhang Juzheng?"
Zhu Zaihou's eyes lit up. With his Wisdom Eye, he could see Zhang Juzheng's attributes at a glance.
Zhang Juzheng.

This Zhang Juzheng was known as Xiao He of the current era. His attributes were indeed eye-catching.
Xu Jie looked at Zhang Juzheng." Uncle, go back to my residence and wait for us to come back."”
"As you command, teacher."
After Zhang Juzheng said this, he turned to Zhu Zaihou and bowed."Your Highness Prince Yu, this official will take his leave."
When Prince Yu walked out of the dormitory, he glanced at him seemingly unintentionally!
Just that glance made Zhang Ju Zheng sweat like rain, his back soaked.
Although Prince Yu was a ten-year-old youth, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
It was as if all his secrets could not be hidden in front of Prince Yu.
This gaze was so terrifying!
This was not a gaze that a youth could possess!
This was Zhang Juzheng's first time meeting Prince Yu, Zhu Zaihou, but Prince Yu had left an indelible memory in his mind, especially Prince Yu's discerning eyes, which made it impossible to hide.
Although Prince Yu was young, Zhang Ju Zheng was still in awe of him.
Just that glimpse was unforgettable for Zhang Juzheng!
……
The weather in September was still cold.
Zhu Zaihou sat in the royal carriage and arrived outside the magnificent Meridian Gate with red walls and yellow tiles.
Zhu Zaihou left Cao Zhengchun in Prince Yu's residence. Zhu Zaihou was no longer a powerless youth. He had enough strength to deal with everything!
Xu Jie and Gao Gong accompanied Prince Yu. The corner gate on the side of the Meridian Gate opened, and the eunuchs and guards in the palace walked out. Zhu Zaihou stepped into the peak of power in the Ming Empire, the Forbidden City!
His heart was surging.
The Ming Empire!
Me!
Zhu Zaihou!
He was here!
