"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Li Yongchang frowned and looked at Jiao Jing in confusion.
Intuition told him that Jiao Jing's words were directly related to Sun Ruowei's rage.
"Yes, King Hun's wings are hard now, this widow can't do anything to him.”
Sun Ruowei let out a long sigh, her expression lonely.
Although she was angry, she did not lose her rationality. Now that Zhu Qiyu had already controlled the military power of the entire city, how could he be controlled by her?
Based on the attitude that Zhu Qiyu had displayed earlier, if she had forced herself, Zhu Qiyu would really have killed her. This was not because she was scared of him, but rather something that could really happen.
Li Yongchang looked at Sun Ruowei, then at Jiao Jing and asked,""Prince Consort Jiao, what happened?”
He was very curious as to what had happened to make Sun Ruowei reveal such an attitude.
"This…"
Jiao Jing looked at Sun Ruowei hesitantly.
The matter was not glorious. He needed to seek Sun Ruowei's consent before he dared to tell Li Yongchang.
"Tell me. In any case, many people have seen this matter. You can't hide it even if you want to.”
Sun Ruowei waved her hand and said lightly.
At this moment, she no longer had any thoughts of controlling Zhu Qiyu. The first thing she wanted to do was to save Zhu Qizhen and the second was to stabilize Zhu Jianshen's position as Crown Prince.
Jiao Jing nodded and said to Li Yongchang," Eunuch Li, King Hun just started a civil war. Now, all the guards of the imperial city have joined King Hun. In other words, from today onwards, the military power of Beijing has been fully in King Hun's hands…"
The matter of Bayan Timur did not need to be said. Just the military power falling into Zhu Qiyu's hands was enough to solve all the doubts in Li Yongchang's heart.
"What is it? How could this be? King Hun, he..."
Li Yongchang was shocked when he heard that.
In his impression, Zhu Qiyu was still the elegant and easy-going king. Recently, Zhu Qiyu had changed too much, so much so that he couldn't react in time.
He couldn't be blamed for this. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that Zhu Qiyu had changed so much?
Sun Ruowei looked around and asked,""Little Li, when was the last time Jin Ying came to see this widow?”
She suddenly remembered that she had seen Jin Ying beside Zhu Qiyu just now. This was not a good sign.
"Replying to Empress Dowager, Eunuch Jin came to Cining Palace three days ago.”
Li Yongchang was stunned for a moment before replying respectfully.
Jiao Jing's face darkened, and his expression turned solemn.""Empress Dowager, I'm afraid Jin Ying can't be trusted.”
Sun Ruowei did not mention that he had not remembered. At this moment, after Sun Ruowei's reminder, he suddenly remembered that he had seen Jin Ying beside Zhu Qiyu just now. If nothing went wrong, Jin Ying had most likely betrayed Zhu Qizhen and joined Zhu Qiyu.
"En, I really didn't expect that when Your Majesty was in trouble this time, there would be so many ghosts and monsters jumping out. Your Majesty and this widow have misjudged.”
Sun Ruowei nodded, her face was terrifyingly gloomy.
Jin Ying was an old man in the Imperial Palace and knew many secrets. If he had sided with Zhu Qiyu, it would definitely be very bad news.
"Empress Dowager, don't blame yourself. It's all those people's fault for being too good at disguising themselves. When His Majesty returns, none of them will be able to escape.”
Jiao Jing comforted.
If he wasn't too deeply involved with Sun Ruowei, he would probably betray her at this time. At least, he would wait and see. After everything was clear, he would choose his position. Unfortunately, he didn't have the right to choose.
"Empress Dowager, where are the nobles in the city?" Li Yongchang frowned and asked. Could it be that they had also sided with Zhu Qiyu?”
The nobility was connected to the imperial power, and Zhu Qizhen was still alive. He didn't believe that the nobility would just side with Zhu Qiyu. Although there was such a possibility, the probability was definitely not high. Perhaps some of the lesser nobility would choose to take a gamble and support Zhu Qiyu, but those greater nobility would definitely support Zhu Qizhen.
"Xun Gui…Sigh... They could only protect themselves now. Even if they wanted to help the Empress Dowager, they could only do it secretly.”
Jiao Jing shook his head, a bitter smile on his face.
Faced with the decisive Zhu Qiyu, the nobles were also on tenterhooks. If it wasn't for the threat of the Wala army heading south, Zhu Qiyu would have already started a bloody massacre.
"This... Is King Hun really that cruel?"
? Li Yongchang was shocked and found Jiao Jing's words hard to believe.
Jiao Jing glanced at Li Yongchang and said lightly,"The five thousand guards of the Imperial City killed as they wished, and Bayan Timur of the Wala Zhiyuan beat as he wished. These actions were all done by King Hun. Eunuch Li, the King Hun now is no longer the King Hun we know.”
Sun Ruowei waved her hand irritably and asked,""Jiao Jing, you still have to go to Xun Gui's place and spend some effort.”
Even though the noble couldn't provide much help, it could still be of some use. More importantly, if he were to abandon the noble like this, wouldn't it be indirectly increasing the strength in Zhu Qiyu's hands?
"Empress Dowager, don't worry. I will contact the nobles. Although they have submitted to King Hun on the surface, they are still loyal to the Emperor and Empress Dowager in their hearts.”
Jiao Jing nodded.
He was very confident in roping in Chen Mao and Zhang He.
"Empress, bad news…"
A young eunuch ran into Cining Palace in a panic, his eyes filled with fear.
It was obvious that he had seen something extremely terrifying.
Li Yongchang's face darkened. He went forward and reprimanded the young eunuch,""What happened? Why are you so flustered?”
All the eunuchs in the Cining Palace were under his control. At this moment, this young eunuch was clearly silently complaining that he had not been able to discipline them properly. It was no wonder that he had gone up to reprimand him.
"Eunuch, Cheng Jing is leading a group of people and killing wantonly in the palace.”
The young eunuch seemed to have found his backbone and hurriedly said.
"Cheng Jing killed someone in the palace?"
Li Yongchang was stunned when he heard that.
He had some understanding of Cheng Jing. The two of them used to be colleagues.
Cheng Jing, Yongle twenty-two years Jinshi, later elected Hanlin Shujishi, once in the Jin King Zhu Jiqi under the official.
In the first year of Xuande, King Zhu Jixi of Jin and King Zhu Gaoxu of Han rebelled, and Cheng Jing was implicated. Because he did not know about Zhu Jixi's rebellion, he was sentenced to eternal exile by Zhu Zhanji.
Cheng Jing believed that being banished to the army forever would be a burden to his descendants, so he wrote a letter requesting death. In the end, he was sentenced to rot and later entered the palace as a eunuch.
In the 10th year of Xuande, Zhu Qiyu entered the palace, and Cheng Jing was sent to Zhu Qiyu's side to do a lecture.
