Xu Jie and Gao Gong followed Zhu Zaihou into the Forbidden City.
The Golden Water Bridge spanned across the Golden Water River. The imperial guards stood on the White Jade Square, which led directly to the Golden Palace. It was a solemn scene!
Zhu Zaihou walked past the Hall of Supreme Harmony and headed towards the Palace of Heavenly Purity where Emperor Jiajing lived. Xu Jie and Gao Gong followed behind Zhu Zaihou and took half a step to show their status as officials.
Eunuch Li Fang hurriedly walked out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity to welcome him.
When he saw Zhu Zaihou, he bowed and said,"Greetings, Your Highness."”
Zhu Zaihou waved his hand. Gao Gong, who was behind Zhu Zaihou, asked impatiently,""How is His Majesty?"
As soon as Gao Gong finished speaking, Xu Jie glared at Gao Gong, and Gao Gong immediately shut up.
Whether Emperor Jiajing was healthy or not, that was something that Prince Yu should be concerned about. Officials should not overpower the host.
" Lord Lu Bing is at the Palace of Heavenly Purity," Li Fang said in a low voice." King Jing and the Vice Minister of the Inner Cabinet, Minister Yan, arrived a few minutes ago."”
Zhu Zaihou listened to Li Fang's answer and asked,""Where's the imperial physician?"
"Your Highness, Prince Yu, Daoist Tao is currently cultivating the Exorcism Immortal Pill for Your Majesty…"
Zhu Zaihou suddenly thought of a swindler!
Tao Zhongwen, Grand Official Guanglu, was appointed as the Junior Teacher, and also the Junior Fu and Junior Protector. Xu Jie's Minister of Rites was the successor of Tao Zhongwen. Outside of the court, Tao Zhongwen was also known as the Minister of Alchemy.
……
Zhu Zaihou entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity under Li Fang's lead. Outside the palace, the palace guards and eunuchs had solemn expressions. The entire palace hall was unusually oppressive.
Zhu Zaihou and Xu Jie entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Yan Song and King Jing Zhu Zaizhen are in Qianqing Palace Hou Zhi.
Yan Song was tall and his face was pale, unlike an old man in his sixties.
King Jing Zhu Zaizhen was only a month younger than Zhu Zaihou. Relying on Emperor Jiajing's love for him, his expression was arrogant. Even when he saw his brother, he still showed an arrogant expression.
Zhu Zaihou did not argue with King Jing.
When Yan Song saw Zhu Zaihou, he hurriedly ran two steps and bowed.""This old subject pays his respects to His Highness Prince Yu.”
When Yan Song knelt down, his attributes had already appeared in front of Zhu Zaihou.
Yan Song.
[Strength: 40]
[Stamina: 80]
Intelligence: 80
[Military strategy: 101]
Power play: 101.
[Special traits: Cunning, autocracy, flattery.]
After the battle at the top of the Forbidden City, Zhu Zaihou had conquered the world.
Although Yan Song was a member of King Jing's faction, Yan Song did not dare to underestimate King Yu. In terms of etiquette, he would not lack anything.
In his heart, Yan Song was also deeply afraid of Prince Yu.
Inside the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Yan Song and Xu Jie also cupped their hands. Although they were fighting openly and secretly, their hidden arrows and blades were hidden under their sleeves. On the surface, they were like two familiar friends, chatting and laughing.
Only Gao Gong abhorred evil and vowed not to associate with the treacherous party, so he scoffed at Yan Song.
They waited for the Emperor's edict in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Zaihou did not speak in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. He was watching the confrontation between Yan Song and Xu Jie, watching their means of pursuing power.
At this time, Zhu Zaihou was also considering the condition of Emperor Jiajing.
Emperor Jiajing should be the emperor who had been in power for the longest time among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. He was also the emperor who lived the longest.
Jiajing had been in power for forty-five years. It was only the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing. How could he fall ill?
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, everyone was in a panic. Now that they had not seen Emperor Jiajing, no one dared to make a sound or speculate about the Emperor's illness.
……
In Yangxin Palace Hall.
Emperor Jiajing's face was as pale as paper. He leaned on the dragon couch, his face haggard.
The commander of the Ming Dynasty Brocade Guard, Lu Bing, stood by the side of the dragon bed with his hands down. In the Jiajing Dynasty, although there was the East Chamber, its aura was completely overshadowed by the Brocade Guard.
The Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei became famous during the reign of Emperor Jiajing!
Lu Bing was even more powerful.
In the reign of Emperor Jiajing, the Jinyiwei replaced the East Chamber and became the eyes and ears of the Ming Emperor to monitor the officials.
In the previous dynasty, the cabinet was powerful. The only one who could stand up to the cabinet was the Jinyiwei, Lu Bing!
Jiajing coughed violently. His white handkerchief was covered in blood!
Blood trickled down the corner of Jiajing's mouth…
"Lu Bing! Lu Bing! Kill Tao Zhongwen! Kill him! He refined poison pills to harm me! He harmed me!"
Jiajing Emperor supported himself on the bed and shouted with all his might.
"Yes!"
Lu Bing knelt on one knee and cupped his hands. He was wearing a brocade robe and a flying fish robe! Dragon Python Golden Silk Belt!
Lu Bing, the commander of the Brocade Guard of Ming Dynasty, had a murderous intent!
Lu Bing stood up and was about to walk out of Yangxin Palace Hall to capture the Alchemy Minister Tao Zhongwen when Emperor Jiajing grabbed his hand and said,""Civilization! Wait a minute!"
When Lu Bing heard Jiajing's call, he turned around again and stood on the side of the dragon bed.
Emperor Jiajing weakly took out an imperial edict from under the dragon couch and said,"I don't have long to live. Now that I've appointed the crown prince, if anything happens to me, I'll send a posthumous edict to the world!”
Lu Bing took the posthumous edict and said,"Your Majesty is in good health. Now, you only have a small illness. This subject has invited all the famous doctors in the world to treat Your Majesty!”
Emperor Jiajing waved his hand." The Three Pure Ones are calling for me. How can a mortal be treated with herbs?"”
Emperor Jiajing was already at the end of his rope, but he still believed in Dao Ancestor Three Pure Ones.
"Since ancient times, there has been a tradition of choosing the elder over the younger. However, Zai Xi is weak and sickly. This time, I'm afraid he will follow me to visit the immortal mountain and find the traces of the Three Pure Ones. Between King Yu and King Jing, King Yu is modest and frugal, while King Jing is jealous and arrogant. If King Jing becomes the emperor, I'm afraid his brothers will kill each other.”
Emperor Jiajing used all his strength to say his dying wish!
Lu Bing held back the tears in his eyes and held Emperor Jiajing's hand. He promised word by word,"This subject will definitely support His Highness Prince Yu and stabilize the Ming Dynasty! Help the world and guard the eight directions!"
When Emperor Jiajing heard Lu Bing's promise, he patted Lu Bing's hand weakly and said with relief,""Good, good. With your words, zhen can rest assured.”
"Xia Yan and Zeng Xi are locked up in the death prison by me. If I die, let them go with me.”
"Yes!"
Lu Bing cupped his hands.
Xia Yan used to be the head of the cabinet and had great power, but once he was imprisoned, all his wealth was gone.
"Are King Jing and King Yu outside?"
"Your Majesty, King Jing and King Yu are in the Palace of Heavenly Purity.”
"Call them in. The others are not allowed to approach Yangxin Hall.”
"Yes."
The Commander of the Brocade Guard, Lu Bing, walked out of Yangxin Hall. In the main hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Prince Jing and Prince Yu were both present. Both of them were ten-year-old youths with red lips and white teeth.
Lu Bing sighed. How could a young emperor rule the country?
All the civil and military officials, Yan Song and Xu Jie, which one of them was easy to deal with?
If King Jing ruled the world, he would inevitably be bullied by his ministers.
Even if Prince Yu ascended the throne, it would be difficult!
Lu Bing thought to himself,"No matter what, he must assist the new king and stabilize the country. This way, he won't let down His Majesty's kindness."”
Lu Bing was loyal to Emperor Jiajing. He was able to become the commander of the Jinyi Guards and had power over the world because of Emperor Jiajing's kindness.
If not for Emperor Jiajing's support, he would still be depressed and lowly.
If it wasn't for His Majesty's favor, how could he be a minister?
