Cining Palace!
Sun Ruowei's face was filled with anger." He's a wolf with wild ambitions. My son just got into trouble and he couldn't wait to jump out. Does he really think that he can use this to ascend to the throne?" BenGong will not allow it."
At this moment, she was so angry that she wanted to execute Zhu Qiyu immediately.
"Empress Dowager, please calm down!"
Li Yongchang, Jiao Jing, and the others knelt on the ground and persuaded Sun Ruowei.
At this point, no matter how angry he was, it was useless. The most important thing now was how to deal with Zhu Qiyu's rebellion.
Through the 10,000 Breaking Ranks, it could be seen that Zhu Qiyu's rebellion was not a moment of hot-headedness, but a long-term plan.
"Hu…"
Sun Ruowei took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart to calm herself down.
Zhu Qizhen had been captured, so she had to remain calm. Otherwise, Zhu Qiyu's wild ambitions would be unstoppable. At that time, she would only become more and more passive.
She looked at Jiao Jing and asked,""Jiao Jing, how many soldiers can you command now?”
If one wanted to stabilize the situation, the simplest and most obvious thing was military power. With soldiers and horses in hand, some things could be done.
"About 5,000 people. If we contact the nobles in the city, the number can reach 15,000.”
Jiao Jing thought for a moment and said.
This was not because he knew the distribution of the soldiers in the city like the back of his hand, but because he had been thinking about this question ever since he left the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
As Sun Ruowei's confidant, he was very clear that with Zhu Qiyu's display of power, Sun Ruowei simply could not tolerate it. Sooner or later, a conflict would inevitably erupt in the Imperial City.
"Empress Dowager, the Tile Thorn army is coming at us menacingly. It is not wise to have internal friction at this time.”
Li Yongchang frowned and said in a deep voice.
He didn't object to Sun Ruowei making a move on Zhu Qiyu, but now that the Tile Thorn Army was pressing down on the border, the biggest problem at the moment was definitely to repel the Tile Thorn Army first.
Jiao Jing nodded and said," Empress Dowager, King Hun may be strong, but I don't think he will go too far. For now, let's beat back the invading Wa Ci army first."”
If they were to fight now and both sides ended up injured, Beijing might as well not defend anymore.
"Damn it, go tell Wang Zhi, Yu Qian and the others that BenGong's patience has a limit.”
Sun Ruowei was extremely angry and said coldly.
Although she was very unwilling to admit it, she could only allow Zhu Qiyu to be arrogant now if he still wanted Zhu Qizhen to come back alive.
...
The Imperial Residence!
After leaving the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, Yu Qian, Hu Meng, Chen Xun, Jin Lian, and the others arrived at Wang Zhi's residence.
In the current court, the Minister of History, Wang Zhi, was undoubtedly the person with the highest status.
"Old man, are we really going to let King Hun do whatever he wants? I have a feeling that something bad will happen next.”
Yu Qian frowned and said to Wang Zhi.
Zhu Qiyu was too domineering. With such a personality, he would definitely cause a bloody storm in Beijing. He was worried that before the Wa Ci army arrived, a huge bloody conflict would erupt within Beijing.
If that was the case, the already disadvantageous situation would become even worse.
"That's right, old man. I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager won't let King Hun do whatever he wants. If there's a conflict between the two, Beijing will be lost.”
Chen Xun looked at his good friend Yu Qian and said.
Although Hu Fou and Jin Lian didn't say anything, it was obvious from their furrowed brows that they were very worried.
The situation before them seemed to have frozen. Although it was fine for the time being, everyone could see that if this continued, a huge bloody conflict would be inevitable.
"What do you think we should do?"
Wang Zhi calmly asked.
From the bottom of his heart, he was more inclined to support Zhu Qiyu. Just Zhu Qiyu's words alone made his eyes light up.
In addition, although he was shocked by some of Zhu Qiyu's views, he somewhat agreed with them.
With the enemy in front of them, they had to unify their internal forces and focus on one place. Only then could they have hope of victory.
"This…"
Yu Qian and Chen Xun looked at each other in dismay. Although they felt that Zhu Qiyu's actions were a little too overbearing, they didn't know what to do.
Wang Zhi looked around at everyone and slowly said,"Everyone, protecting Beijing City is the most important thing. If Wa Ci successfully goes south, you and I will all be sinners of Ming Dynasty. As for King Hun's strength, let's see what he will do next.”
His thoughts were simple. He would support whoever could protect Beijing.
"Old Sir, Yu Qian has learned his lesson."
Yu Qian's heart jolted awake. He stood up and bowed respectfully to Wang Zhi.
Previously, he had been stubborn about Zhu Qiyu's dominance and did not realize the core of the matter. Only after Wang Zhi's guidance did he wake up.
Compared to the Tile Thorn Army going south, the battle between Zhu Qiyu and Sun Ruowei was nothing.
......
Scenic Yang Palace!
Consort Wu Xian's expression was complicated. She had already learned about what had happened in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute from the palace maids.
She had never thought that her son would actually covet the throne and put it into action.
"Niangniang, wangye is here."
Qing Zhu came before Consort Wu Xian and said softly.
She had been serving Consort Wu Xian since she was young. They were master and servant in name, but in reality, they were sisters and had a deep relationship.
"Yu 'er is here. Let him come over.”
Consort Wu Xian's chaotic mind returned to her senses. She shook her head and revealed a bitter smile.
Since the matter had already happened, it was probably impossible to persuade him. After all, Zhu Qiyu had already taken action and there was no way out. Under such circumstances, what she could do was to provide Zhu Qiyu with some information from the palace.
"Yes, Empress!"
Qing Zhu nodded and turned to leave.
......
A moment later!
Zhu Qiyu came before Consort Wu Xian.”
He had come here to persuade Consort Wu Xian to leave the palace and stay in the mansion temporarily. After all, what he was doing now was too dangerous. Sun Ruowei had no way to deal with him, so she would inevitably be desperate and take advantage of Consort Wu Xian.
