"King Yu, the military report came, the Wara army is coming to the Beijing Division, and the Baiyangkou is in a hurry, if you don't ask, the Bauhinia Pass and Juyong Pass will be in danger in the near future, and at that time, the Wara army will be able to approach the Beijing Division." Wang Zhi, as one of the old ministers, bravely stood up at this time and stated the power and danger of the current situation to Zhu Qiyu, the king of the servants.

"What then?" Zhu Qiyu, who had never really managed the government at all, had no idea when he was asked this question.

"King Yu, Wang Shangshu, now the discussion should be about where the emperor is and whether he can come back." Hu Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward with a wat board in his hand, and said with a trace of sadness on his face.

The snake has no head, there is no one who can finally make up his mind, and everyone can't think in one place and work hard in one place.

"What Hu Shangshu said is that the most important thing to find out at present is where the emperor is and where are the other ministers accompanying the army." Jin Lian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Shi Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, both held the wat board in their hands, raised their heads high, and said their thoughts.

"Okay, that's the case, go check it out right away, and check the situation of the imperial brother." Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, agreed with a look on his face and nodded incessantly.

If you know that Zhu Qizhen is still alive, of course, you will find a way to get him back to preside over the overall situation. If the person is no longer there... Zhu Qiyu hasn't thought much about it for the time being.

The court meeting ended in a hurry, and there was no discussion of one, two, three. The spies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei began to move, but in the face of the Warat army on the battlefield, it was not possible to find out the real information in a short period of time.

Zhu Qiyu returned to Nangong with a worried face.

Nangong is a side hall in the palace, because it is only in a corner of the palace, and few people usually come. When Zhu Qizhen was leaving, he arranged his younger brother here, which also had a hint of warning. It was only because the prince had just reached the age of two and was newly established that he could not supervise the country at all, which made Zhu Qiyu vacant.

But it's just that you are a puppet standing there, and you want to have any power, or what you want to think about the imperial power, it is absolutely impossible. The arrangement in the remote Nangong is a warning, that is, it is a warning to Zhu Qiyu, you must grasp your position and don't overstep your authority.

was arranged here in Nangong, Zhu Qiyu didn't have any ideas, and he was very clear about what kind of position he was in. But that was based on Zhu Qizhen's triumphant return, and he naturally wanted to sit back to his prince, but now...

The mood was very complicated, and even Zhu Qiyu, who had some mixed tastes, returned to Nangong where he lived temporarily step by step, and his eyes happened to see several little eunuchs not far away, who seemed to be talking about themselves and pointing at something.

For a moment, anger suddenly rose from my heart. It's true that he is a puppet, but at the same time he is also a prince, how can some little eunuchs dictate him so much? For a while, he was angry in his heart, and he moved a trace of murderous intent.

It's just that this murderous intent was forcibly suppressed as soon as it started. Now that Yingzong's life and death are unknown, what if he is on his way back? Killed the little eunuch in the palace without permission, didn't he fall into the handle and the truth? For his brother, Zhu Qiyu knows very well that his heart is really not too big.

Zhu Qiyu wanted to calm things down and suppress his anger. But at this time, a big eunuch wearing a python robe suddenly came out from the side, and his eyes looked at the four little eunuchs who were gathering to discuss, "I don't do anything in the palace, but I chew my tongue here, is it really idle and have nothing to do?" Come on, drag them down, and beat them with forty sticks each. ”

Forty military sticks, this is equivalent to taking people's lives. When the four little eunuchs heard this, their faces suddenly changed drastically, and they quickly knelt on the ground and pleaded. But a few little eunuchs had already come over, pulled them up one by one, and pulled them away into the distance.

The little eunuch dared to underestimate himself and paid the price of his life for it, Zhu Qiyu felt that his chest was loose, and he had vented a lot of anger over the past few days.

"His Royal Highness, our family is polite here." Just when he felt his heart relax, the big eunuch who had just spoken out and scolded came to Zhu Qiyu with a slight bow.

can wear a python robe, needless to say, his status must be extremely high among eunuchs. In fact, there are only two people in the palace who can do this now. One is Wang Zhen, who has been killed, and the other is Jin Ying.

Kim Young, a native of Annam. After entering the palace, he served Taizong, Renzong, Xuanzong, and Yingzong. At the age of about thirty in the last years of Yongle, he was promoted to the right supervisor of ceremonies. After Renzong ascended the throne, the population and wealth under the name of Zhang Ding, who was about to be confiscated into the army, including real estate and trees, and the population and land of his son-in-law Tian Gou'er, were rewarded to him. In the seventh year of Xuande (1432), because of his loyalty and diligence, he was given an edict to avoid death. Later, he was given a silver mark and promoted to the rank of celebrant and eunuch.

Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was only nine years old when he ascended the throne, and the eunuch Wang Zhen would coax him to play, and he favored Wang Zhen the most. So Wang Zhenyue sent out Jin Ying and other eunuchs, stirred up power alone, and became the chief eunuch, and Jin Ying had to let him everywhere.

It is better to say that he is letting him everywhere, but it is better to say that he is hibernating. Because he has always been the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, and he is still the first eunuch, he enjoys a high position of power. It's just that Wang Zhen was too popular for a while, and no one paid attention to him.

Jin Ying suddenly appeared at this time, and she still looked like Zhu Qiyu, which is worth pondering.

For Jin Ying, Zhu Qiyu's impression is still very good. If nothing else, this person is one of the few people who is respectful to himself. Maybe we are all oppressed people, or maybe it's because they have the same experience and know what it means to be dormant, so naturally there are too many similarities.

"Thank you, Grandpa Kim." Zhu Qiyu smiled and said to Jin Ying with a smile in his eyes, and at the same time bent down slightly to express his gratitude.

"Oh, I can't help it, King Yu is a daughter, and he presides over the government, how can he be so polite to me, a eunuch." Jin Ying's face was sincere and frightened, and her head was very low, wishing that she was about to make a close contact with her knees on the ground.

When it came to presiding over the government, Zhu Qiyu was bitter, and said with a sinister look: "What? Did Grandpa Jin also come to make fun of my incompetence in the court? ”

Feeling a sense of coercion pressing on his body, Jin Ying, who can be called well-informed, is very familiar with this feeling, after all, there are four emperors he has experienced. But at this time, he still pretended to be very scared and shook his head violently, "His Royal Highness the King of Servants forgives the sin, but the minister doesn't have such thoughts." On the contrary, the minister thinks that King Yu is just born at the wrong time, otherwise, with your Jing Tao Wei strategy, it is not difficult to become a generation of Ming Jun. ”

"Shh

was really frightened by Jin Ying's words, Zhu Qiyu's eyes looked around, and his face was very nervous, "Father-in-law Jin, don't harm this king." ”

"Your Royal Highness the King of Servants rest assured, the minister has been in the palace for so many years, and he also has some of his own energy, and there is no third person within a hundred steps here, just rest assured." Jin Ying's face was full of bamboo. This time I came to find Zhu Qiyu, I originally took a certain risk, and I also came to show my loyalty and sincerity. In that case, how can you not be prepared?

"This... Let us go into the temple and speak. Zhu Qiyu knew that Jin Ying dared to say this, and it should indeed be arranged. After all, once the matter is known to Zhu Qizhen, he has had a secret relationship with the eunuch in private, and with this article, he will be suspicious, and he will not know what will happen to him. It's just that Jin Ying regards himself as a minister, and his heart is already self-evident.

Zhu Qiyu himself knows something, Jin Ying has been in the palace for so many years, it is impossible not to know. And if he dares to come, he must have something to tell him. At that moment, he strode towards the hall with an understanding look, followed by Jin Ying half a step behind, and he followed behind him with his head bowed. But if you are willing to look up at this time, you must be able to see a very determined expression on his face.

It's firmness. Because this time Jin Ying came to persuade Zhu Qiyu to take the position.

Regardless of whether Zhu Qizhen is alive or not, whether he can return to the palace or not, in Jin Ying's eyes, he is already a waste. The change of imperial power has always been a sword and a sword, even if you dare to leave the palace, then you must be prepared to be occupied by turtledoves. If you want to blame, you can only blame Zhu Qizhen for believing and favoring Wang Zhen too much. Even if you pamper others and don't give yourself a way to live, don't blame him for finding another way.

Next, in the hall of Nangong, Zhu Qiyu and Jin Ying chatted for a long time. No one knows what they said, but what happened afterwards is enough to deduce what they said and what they planned.

......

Hu Mansion.

After Hu Hu and Hu Changning returned to the mansion after going down to the court, they issued a strict order, and no one was allowed to leave the mansion at will without their permission. Even the old mother who buys vegetables and cooks in the house also needs a time limit, and when she travels, she also needs to keep up with a few more families.

The chaos of the situation came out, and no one knew what would happen next. Judging from Hu Hui's many years of experience as an official, it is better to have more than one thing at this time. First, wait and see what happens, and then bet heavily on the move of the wise.

Because of this order, the atmosphere in the entire Hu Mansion became very tense and depressing. In Hu Yan's room in the backyard, she was walking back and forth anxiously. After a while, Yahuan Xiaoqing, who was a little stumbling, ran in with a look of urgency.

"Xiaoqing, what did you hear? Is there any news of him? As soon as she saw the close-fitting ring, Hu Yan stepped forward and grabbed her hands, her face full of nervousness and worry.
