Cining Palace.
When Xing An and Gao Ping, the two eunuchs, appeared with a group of cold Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Empress Dowager Sun was stunned.
She, who already had a guilty conscience, immediately knew what was about to happen.
"What are you doing? I am the late emperor's empress, the Retired Emperor's mother, and the current Di mother.”
She roared and roared furiously, trying to shout these people away.
Xing An and Gao Ping revealed looks of disdain.
"Sun shi, you colluded with the vassal king and intended to rebel. Today, we are here to send you on your way.”
"On account of you being the mother of a country. Kill yourself."
Empress Dowager Sun staggered, her face pale.
"You can't. I want to see His Majesty.”
Gao Ping was holding a White Soaring Horse, while Xing An was holding a cup of poisoned wine.
"Sun shi, the reason why we chose to come during the little prince's afternoon nap is to let you leave with dignity.”
"I hope you don't fail to appreciate my kindness."
When Empress Dowager Sun heard the two mention her youngest grandson, she immediately calmed down.
A rare pleading look appeared on his face.
"How will Your Majesty deal with my grandson? I only hope that Your Majesty can spare his life. Even if it's a civilian, it's good.”
Xing An and Gao Ping lowered their heads in silence.
Because His Majesty had not given instructions on how to deal with the Retired Emperor's son.
They didn't dare to come here casually.
However, they also knew that even if they let the little prince Zhu Jianshen stay, he could only be raised in captivity for the rest of his life.
"Sun shi, the little prince is about to wake up. You should hurry up and go.”
Xing An, Gao Ping urged.
The two of them knew that after doing this, they would be able to win the trust of the Emperor.
Therefore, he urged her impatiently.
In the end, Sun shi was in a daze, like a walking corpse, she chose that cup of poisoned wine.
She did not dare to be arrogant anymore because she knew that if she were to say anything before she left, it was very likely that she would implicate her young grandson.
After picking up the cup of poisoned wine, she looked back at the bedroom behind her.
Then, he resolutely drank the cup of poisoned wine.
The plump nanny was not so lucky. She was strangled to death by the Jinyiwei.
After everything was settled, Xing An and Gao Ping came to the bedroom and looked at the two-year-old child who was still sleeping soundly.
They finally picked him up and sent him to Nian Ci Palace.
From now on, Empress Dowager Wu would be in charge.
Hall of Diligent Government.
After Zhu Qiyu received Xing An and Gao Ping's report, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The vicious Empress Dowager Sun was finally dead.
At this point, he no longer had to worry about a fire in the backyard.
"Inform the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the Empress Dowager's funeral.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Empress Dowager Sun fell ill after the Retired Emperor was captured by the Wala Empire.
These days he often lay in bed, even the imperial physician told the cabinet to prepare for the worst.
Now that Empress Dowager Sun had suddenly passed away, no one was surprised.
He even secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Because they were also very afraid of Empress Dowager Sun, who was used to being domineering.
He was afraid that she would do something rebellious in the harem.
Now that she was dead, it was a good thing for Da Ming.
Perhaps in the capital, the only ones who felt grief were the nobles and relatives of the royal family.
Ever since the Retired Emperor was captured, Empress Dowager Sun was their only spiritual pillar.
Now, this spiritual symbol no longer existed.
Then, all their schemes and plots would no longer exist.
After learning of Empress Dowager Sun's death, these people wept endlessly.
Of course, they weren't crying for Empress Dowager Sun. They were crying that they might be in trouble soon.
That was the truth.
Zhu Qiyu was about to personally conquer Wala, so how could he tolerate the existence of these unstable factors?
Based on the evidence they found in Cining Palace, the Embroidered Uniform Guards quickly took action.
In the capital, the Sun family, who had been arrogant and despotic for more than ten years, were all captured and thrown into prison.
There were dozens of nobles and other royal relatives who were affected by this.
Even the younger brother of the British Duke, Zhang Fu, and his two sons could not escape punishment and were also sent to prison.
Not only him, but even the daughter-in-law of the British public, Zhang Fu, and her bastard child were also arrested.
Regarding this matter, Zhang Zhong and Zhang Mao even specially entered the palace to thank Zhu Qiyu.
It could be seen how many years they had endured that Sun shi.
Zhu Qiyu uprooted Empress Dowager Sun's people overnight.
Although some civil and military officials wrote to advise him, he pretended not to see it.
These civil and military officials all wanted him to cherish benevolence and righteousness.
However, they did not know that if Empress Dowager Sun succeeded in her rebellion, she would only be more ruthless than them.
Nianci Palace.
Empress Dowager Wu watched her son eat the breakfast she made, her eyes filled with worry and reluctance.
"Emperor, do you really want to go on a personal expedition?”
"Yes, mother. This matter had already been decided and could not be changed.”Zhu Qiyu nodded.
At the same time, he said,"The affairs of the harem will be handed over to Mother."”
Zhu Qiyu still trusted his mother very much.
She was originally a palace maid, but in the end, not only did she capture Emperor Xuanzong, but she also gave birth to a prince for him.
Moreover, he could raise Zhu Qiyu successfully.
Even in Empress Dowager Sun's harem, she was able to resolve many crises and endure humiliation until she finally made it.
From this, it could be seen that she had extraordinary abilities. She was definitely not an ordinary woman who only knew how to eat vegetarian food and recite Buddhist scriptures.
"Then mother won't stop you."
Empress Dowager Wu sighed and said,"Son, the little prince is still young. Let mother take care of him. A two-year-old child wouldn't remember anything when he grew up. When the time came, he would just be an idle king and live a life of wealth.”
In fact, Zhu Qiyu could not make up his mind about his nephew, Zhu Jianshen.
Logically speaking, he should have cut the weeds and uprooted them.
However, in history, this Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen was generally not bad.
He helped Yu Qian redeem himself and restore Zhu Qiyu's throne.
Of course, in his later years, he also began to ignore the government, indulging in debauchery and evil.
He could not be considered a wise ruler.
Zhu Qiyu also made a decision.
In the future, he would just keep them in captivity.
It also saved the civil and military officials from talking.
Although Zhu Qiyu didn't care too much about it, it would always damage his reputation.
