Chapter 72 Entering the Palace
"Enter the palace!"
Xu Youzhen's face was solemn: "The lower official is willing to go to the palace immediately with the prince. No matter what happens, the prince can deal with it calmly in the palace. Time is endless. Now there is still one hour before the palace gate falls, so it should be still time!"
He looked at Xu Bai: "The prince is indeed a little late to know the news, but when the prince knows the news, some people may have already responded. I am afraid that the prince will lose the opportunity if he does anything!"
As soon as he said this, the whole room suddenly became quiet.
Qin Ji looked at King Yi with a nervous expression, while Wan Zhen'er looked at Xu Youzhen. Her big eyes didn't blink, and obviously she was also thinking quickly in her mind.
Only Xu Bai was stunned for a moment, and then a playful smile appeared on his face.
Emperor Jingtai’s deadline is indeed coming soon, but it is definitely not so fast. Just when the empress dowager summoned Shi Heng, King Yi hurried to the palace. Not to mention that King Yi didn’t plan to do anything, even if he planned to do something, what could he do now?
The emperor is still there, and the empress dowager is still there. At this time, Shi Heng will never listen to the empress dowager or the emperor. Moreover, the emperor in the Nangong is still there?
The two brothers and a prince were all in the palace. What did the people outside think?
Not to mention this, the people in the inner court are not dead yet. Will they have no idea about the big deal of changing the master? Shi Heng, who is in charge of the imperial guards, is not clear about his intentions. To put it bluntly, when King Yi enters the palace at this moment, it is almost impossible to make a difference when he delivers vegetables to his door.
You should know that for thousands of years, the only eunuch who rebelled was Cao Jixiang, the Sili Supervisor who was in the palace, who was not humming or silly. Xu Bai absolutely did not believe that he would have the intention to rebel from the beginning. It was all accumulated one by one. Finally, something was used as a guide to Cao Jixiang's idea of rebellion.
This is what should have happened after the successful restoration of Zhu Qizhen. However, God knows whether the Yi King enters the palace at this moment will become the inspiration for Cao Jixiang to have that idea. If he really told Shi Heng to accomplish something with him, then the Ming Dynasty would be over. However, the Yi King and his son, plus the terminally ill Emperor Jingtai, would definitely be doomed.
Once the palace gate is closed, even if the swords and swords inside the palace are scattered, the army outside the palace will not be able to stop it for a while.
"The prince cannot enter the palace!"
Xu Bai's voice broke the tranquility in the house: "The situation in the palace is unclear, and it is safest for the prince to stay in the palace. The Empress Dowager summoned Shi Heng, which should be just a precaution. Lord Xu is too worried!"
"What do you know!"
Xu Youzhen was no longer as gentle as she had in front of Xu Bai before, and her face was even a little ferocious: "You only warriors can understand the major affairs of the government!"
"I don't need to understand. I just need to ensure the safety of the prince!" Xu Bai bowed to King Yi and said, "Prince, the most reliable thing is to respond to changes in the same way. If you say that you are most anxious to know this news, I don't think it is the prince!"
"Prince, opportunities are fleeting, so don't be indecisive!" Xu Youzhen knelt down, with a bit of a stern minister.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant.
"Xu Bai is right!" Wan Zhen'er finally spoke, breaking the stagnation: "If King Xiang wanted to be the emperor, after Tumu Fort, he followed the Queen Mother's wishes and became the emperor. It was not the turn of the emperor to be the emperor. Grand Secretary Wang and his group were afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so they would advocate the wisdom of King Xiang under the current situation and ask the prince of King Xiang to be the crown prince. They wanted to make the chaos of the court more confused and then take advantage of the troubled waters. These are the people the prince should be careful of!"
"Then I'm safer to enter the palace!" King Yi asked in confusion without understanding the logic.
"Take a risk!" Wan Zhen'er said: "The prince must beware of them taking risks. For Yu Qian, who holds military power, there is not much difference between the prince and the prince Xiang, or the prince who inherits the throne. You are all descendants of Taizu, and this world is still the Zhu family's great bright world! Therefore, according to common sense, he should not participate in this matter."
"What if Yu Qian has the will to usurp the throne?" Xu Youzhen was anxious and said loudly: "Yu Qian's gangs are all over the court, and his power is unparalleled. His Majesty is still majestic on weekdays. If His Majesty dies and the new emperor is young, he will inevitably not have ambitions. Is this powerful minister still a small number in ancient times?"
"I just said that according to common sense!" Wan Zhen'er glanced at Xu Youzhen: "The prince is in the palace, no matter what Yu Qian does, it is in full view of everyone. If he really dares to be unfavorable to the prince, he will be gone. People in the world are not so easy to deceive; but if His Majesty leaves the palace and enters the palace, there are too many things that Yu Qian can do!"
"Although Shi Heng is an important minister of Your Majesty and has never dealt with Yu Qian, what if Yu Qian has no intention of being unfair and Shi Heng has unfair intention? The prince enters the palace and sends himself to him, and he can even use the prince to control Yu Qian. Such a thing is also possible!"
"This is not possible, that is not possible. Wouldn't that do nothing?" Xu Youzhen was really anxious. The Yi King in front of him was young, and one was an ignorant palace maid and the other was a vulgar guard. Even though he had always believed himself as resourceful, he was a little angry at this moment.
Xu Bai and this palace maid were talking nonsense, but King Yi believed them, and his good intentions were not only not adopted. Seeing that the palace maid continued to say this, King Yi might also doubt his intentions.
While waiting in the concierge, although he was trapped there, he kept the clouds and winds calm. When he entered the palace, although he was frightened to see the blood stains messy, he still kept the clouds and winds calm.
But at this moment, he could no longer keep his own calmness.
The saying "The man is not worthy of making a plan" suddenly flashed through his mind, even though he knew that the people who said this before and those who listened to it had no good ending.
"Of course you have to do it!" Wan Zhen'er bit her lip gently, which made her look a little charming. She bent down and said a few words in the ear of King Yi.
King Yi was slightly stunned, and then nodded happily.
"The situation in the palace is not clear, just go and figure it out. It is not convenient for me to enter the palace, but there are people here who can enter the palace!" A smile appeared on his lips: "Princess Jiashan happened to live in the palace these days, so it was time to go back to the palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother. Xu Jingshi, if it is convenient, it would be better to accompany Princess Jiashan to enter the palace and ask the Queen Mother for the information in the palace. What do you think?"
