Zhu Ye narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Brother Liu can see clearly. I have just seen the true intention of the eunuch. He simply wants to attack my Neo-Confucianism by attacking my Zhu clan!"

Rubbing his beard, Liu Li sneered: "So this matter is not only related to the inheritance of the Zhu family, but also directly to the future of the Neo-Confucian lineage. I and many friends in Beijing will never sit idly by and watch!"

Zhu Ye stood up and said to Liu Li with a big gift: "This kindness and affection, I, Zhu, will never forget it!"

Liu Li helped Zhu Ye up and the two sat down. Liu Li looked at Zhu Ye and said, "The Zhu family has been passed down for hundreds of years. There must be a secret son in this capital, I don't know..."

Everyone knows this that the Zhu family must have their own people in the court.

Zhu Ye knew Liu Li’s intention only when he heard Liu Li speak, and Zhu Ye could only whisper the names of several officials in Liu Li’s ear.

Liu Li couldn't help but look surprised in his eyes. He obviously didn't expect that the Zhu family had so many senior officials in the court.

You should know that if Zhu Ye hadn't told him, even he would have thought that these officials would be from the Zhu family.

Seeing Liu Li leave, Zhu Ye sat cross-legged there and sighed for a long time.

After Liu Li left Tianzhu, he immediately started running, contacting the backbone of the Neo-Confucian lineage, and preparing to find a way to save the Zhu family.

At this moment, rumors spread about Emperor Zhu Houzhao in the capital.

The rumors are very clear that Zhu Houzhao is actually seriously ill and unconscious. As the emperor, he cannot handle the government affairs and may be able to return to heaven at any time.

Because it involves the emperor, this rumor spreads in the capital almost immediately. It can be said that the people in the capital have noses and eyes, and almost everyone knows them.

Of course, most people don’t believe it very much, but as long as Zhu Houzhao doesn’t show up for a day, there will be a market for this rumor.

In the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Mian looked at Mu Zhai and said, "My teacher, the rumors have spread now. If there are a few more days, unless the emperor appears in person, the people in the capital will believe it."

Pulling his beard, Mu Zhai Gong chuckled and said, "As you said, rumors are rumors after all. As long as Zhu Houzhao appears, the rumors will be self-defeating. However, Zhu Houzhao is in a coma and the people in the capital are in great trouble. Next, you will join forces with the officials in the court to write a letter to the empress dowager and ask the empress dowager to hold a grand meeting to discuss the inheritance of the throne."

Jiang Mian took a deep breath, and a light flashed in his eyes and said, "Don't worry, my teacher, the disciple must force the Queen Mother to make a decision early."

Kunning Palace.

Zhu Houzhao, whose leg injury had healed a few points, was sitting in front of the table. He took a secret report from Chu Yi. When he opened it, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that they have really worked hard. In one or two days, the huge capital was full of controversy. I really underestimated their power."

Chu Yi sat at Zhu Houzhao's head and heard this, "Your Majesty, the rumor is naturally fast. In fact, their power is not as strong as His Majesty imagined."

There were Jinyiwei, East Factory and even West Factory staring secretly. What are the troops of Muzhai Gong and others? It can be said that Chu Yi has mastered it now.

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, put the secret report on the table, looked at Chu Yi, with a bit of hope in his eyes and said, "Big companion, it's time to take down these people. If King Ning was not about to rebel, I could wait patiently for them to jump out one by one, but now I don't have the patience and don't have so much time to spend with them.

Chu Yi slowly stood up and bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, please wait for the good news!"

As he said that, Chu Yi smiled a little and said, "But I suggest that Your Majesty ask the Empress Dowager to preside over the grand court meeting tomorrow and let all the civil and military officials in the capital be present."

Seeing that Chu Yi agreed to his proposal and also proposed to ask the queen to preside over the grand ceremony, Zhu Houzhao was stunned at first, then she said with a little excitement on her face: "The big companion is worthy of being a big companion. I am a little looking forward to what will happen to the Chinese civil and military officials in the court when they see me!"

A sound of footsteps came from outside, and Gu Dayong walked into the room, holding a large stack of memorials in his hand.

Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi's eyes naturally fell on these memorials. Only Gu Dayong could hear: "Your Majesty, General Chu, these memorials were presented to the Queen Mother of the Cabinet today. The Queen Mother ordered the old slave to send them to His Majesty for review."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly.

As Zhu Houzhao opened the memorial, Zhu Houzhao's face became a little ugly. After reading a stack of memorials, the gloomy face could almost drip out of water.

With a bang, Zhu Houzhao slapped the table: "Damn it, this is my civil and military officials. I am not dead yet, so they will force the Queen Mother to choose a new king. What do they want to do!"

After all, it was announced to the public that Zhu Houzhao was unconscious. Generally speaking, unless the emperor really died, no one would dare to propose the new king.

However, among these memorials, there were many important officials in the court. These people wrote to the Queen Mother one by one. Judging from the posture, they were quite impatient.

No wonder Zhu Houzhao reacted so much. After all, in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, these officials were so anxious to choose a new king, and they simply wanted him to die soon.

Even with the premise that he concealed the facts, the reactions of these officials still disappointed Zhu Houzhao. Even though he was in a coma, he was not dead yet.

This made Zhu Houzhao wonder if one day, if he was really in a coma for a few days, would he become the Supreme Emperor after waking up, or if he was directly killed in a coma and became the late emperor?

Chu Yi read a few memorials casually and smiled slightly and said, "Why should your Majesty have to be of the same knowledge as these people? Isn't this just right? Since they begged the Empress Dowager to preside over the grand ceremony, isn't this right for us?"

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart, and nodded slowly and said, "What the big companion said is that I just fulfilled their wishes!"

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao looked at Gu Dayong and said, "Parent Gu Da, go and report to the Empress Dowager Ming, and I will ask her to pass on the imperial edicts to all civil and military officials and preside over the grand dynasty meeting tomorrow!"

Gu Dayong was slightly stunned, reacted and nodded to Zhu Houzhao, "I'll go now."

After Gu Dayong left, he saw Chu Yi handing the note to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Please read your Majesty!"

He looked at Chu Yi in confusion. Zhu Houzhao took several memorials handed over by Chu Yi. After reading them, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Do they think I really can't do it? I have said before that the Zhu family's assassination of the emperor is unforgivable, but these people still wrote a letter together, do you really think that I don't exist?"

The atmosphere in the capital these days has been very strange, just like the surging tides are like endless waves under the calm sea.

On this day, an order from the palace was heard, which immediately shocked all the civil and military officials who were concerned about every move in the palace.

The Empress Dowager passed on the decree that all civil and military officials in Beijing would enter the palace tomorrow to attend the grand dynasty meeting chaired by the Empress Dowager.

In Jiao Fang's mansion, dozens of officials couldn't help but focus on Fang's mansion. The expressions of these people were a little nervous.

They were all promoted by Chu Yi, and they had the mark of Chu Yi. With Chu Yi's deterrence, these officials can be said to occupy most of the important positions in the court, but their foundation is unstable in the end. Once Chu Yi or the emperor who supported them had any accidents, they would definitely be in trouble first.

During this period, rumors are flying in the capital. Sometimes the emperor dies and sometimes the emperor is unconscious, which naturally makes people feel uneasy.

Now the empress dowager has issued an order to preside over the grand dynasty meeting. In the eyes of many officials, this move almost confirmed the rumors not long ago.

If the emperor was not surprised, how could the empress dowager hold a grand court meeting? Since the empress dowager was forced to hold a grand court meeting, it can only be explained that the emperor had an accident.

Jiao Fang actually didn't know much, but as a representative of the eunuch party, Jiao Fang naturally wanted to stabilize the emotions of the crowd.

Jiao Fang coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, although the will was issued in the palace, it does not mean that the emperor had really had an accident. Everyone was in a mess, wouldn't it be ridiculous?

An official couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "It's not that we are distracted. It's really the current situation that we have to think more."

Jiao Fang waved his hand and said, "Even if you are anxious, it's useless. The Supervisor doesn't know whereabouts. What is your Majesty? I think it will be revealed at the grand dynasty meeting tomorrow, but no matter what, we must keep our feet firm."

Compared with the panic in Jiao Fang's mansion, Jiang Mian's mansion gathered some important civil and military officials, and the faces of these officials were full of excitement.

On weekdays, they could only be cautious due to Chu Yi's power, and they did not dare to show dissatisfaction with Chu Yi at all. They watched the power in their hands be taken away by officials from the eunuch party headed by Jiao Fang.

It would be impossible to say that these people are not depressed, but under the intimidation of Chu Yi's reputation, they did not dare to show any thoughts.

However, now, these people no longer need to hide their inner resentment.

A minister's face was full of excitement and gritted his teeth and said, "It's not worth it that we will endure humiliation and bear the burden. Now we have finally guarded the clouds and saw the moon bright. God is so open to his eyes. The foolish lord has finally passed away..."

Jiang Mian couldn't help but cough. If this sentence was heard by those who were interested, once it was passed to the emperor, it would definitely be a death sentence.
