Chapter 80: Watching You Cry and Watching You Laugh
The news of the restoration of the Supreme Emperor was like a storm sweeping across the entire city of Beijing.
Whether it is the court or the people, some people were shocked, some were ecstatic, some were panicked, and some were silent. However, in the next few days, everyone confirmed the facts of a person.
The sky of the Ming Dynasty has really changed.
Countless people were trying hard to find their place in this storm, and the Yi Prince Mansion seemed to be a safe island in this huge storm. No matter how big the storm was, when he arrived at this island, he either became extremely gentle or turned his attention and quietly bypassed.
Many people saw this clearly, so the Yi Wang Mansion, which had been silent for a long time, became lively again.
There are people waiting at any time in the two rows of gatehouses in the palace, and they can eat a cup of tea from the Yiwang Mansion in the gatehouse. For these officials who come to the Yiwang Mansion, it seems that they are a cup of peace of mind. More people can't even enter this gatehouse, so they can only deliver their gift lists, hoping to leave a slight impression in front of the King of Yi.
Of course, King Yi couldn't see these gift lists, and he didn't care about these gift lists at all.
It seems that Xu Bai's words or Wan Zhen'er's words have worked. King Yi is not so easy to see. Regardless of the size of the official position, if you have been to the Yi Wang Mansion before, you should naturally be more generous. At least you are welcomed by the Chief Shishishu of the Palace. Some of them were lucky enough to see King Yi. Of course, it was just a sight. The fact that King Yi was holding a tea bowl and touching his lips was not negligent. The market conditions of King Yi have changed. This style makes people feel that it is a very normal thing.
There are also some officials who have been to the Yiwang Mansion. Apart from the attitude of the King of Yi, they have vaguely felt some changes. For example, they have never seen the official of the Chief Secretary who received them before, such as the guard who stood by the King of Yiwang at all times.
Of course, they will not talk to others about these changes, but they must ask some questions. After all, King Yi is difficult to get close to, but the people around King Yi are not necessarily the case. At least, if you ask about King Yi’s preferences and what you like, it will be much more pleasant than if they come to the door with gifts like this.
Xu Bai didn't know that before he knew it, he had become the focus of attention of some officials in the capital. However, he appeared almost out of thin air in Beijing. If these officials inquire, they would be destined to be futile.
Soon, someone also discovered that the imperial guards in the palace also changed. Shi Heng made contributions to his establishment, and His Majesty trusted him very much. Most of the military power vacated after Yu Qian was imprisoned needs someone to control. It is obvious that Shi Heng is the best candidate for His Majesty.
The imperial guard commander in the palace became a young man named Xu Chengzong. After inquiring again, he found out that this person was the brother of Duke Wei who was guarding Nanjing. Before that, almost no one knew when Xu Chengzong appeared in the capital. There were too many things to ponder. Thinking of the current emperor's restoration overnight, everyone couldn't help but feel shocked and dared not continue to think about it.
Every day, these guests who came to the palace also brought news from outside. When Xu Bai heard this news, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He is now sure that Xu Chengzong is definitely the owner of a cloud talisman on the neck of King Yi. No matter what the contact agreement between him and Zhu Qizhen was, obviously, Xu Chengzong is definitely not as simple as a simple commander of the hidden guard.
Even though Xu Chengzong, like Xu Bai, did not directly contribute to this Nangong incident, obviously Zhu Qizhen had already forgotten his contributions. As soon as he sat on the dragon throne, he couldn't wait to transfer him to the palace to serve as the commander of the imperial guards to protect his safety.
In this sense, Zhu Qizhen trusts Xu Chengzong much more than Shi Heng or something.
The so-called "Does of the same person have different destinies," said this. Zhao Huchen and others didn't know about this. If they knew about it, they would be afraid that they would envy those hidden guards who followed Xu Chengzong. This not only cleared their identity, but also had all their background and official positions overnight.
However, Xu Bai did not intend to tell his subordinates these things. He did not think that because of his decision, the development of his subordinates would be worse than the hidden guards who entered the palace. It was just that the timing was different.
Xu Youzhen has never come to the palace.
Even that day, Xu Bai asked Yuan Bin to tell him that Xu Youzhen was still missing. Now Xu Youzhen is also a Hanlin bachelor, joins the cabinet to participate in Jishu government affairs, and has also been given the title of Minister of War. She was very popular for a while and has become the hottest figure among the civil servants of the dynasty.
A mere royal palace commander would come and go when he summoned him. This kind of thing was simply unimaginable.
Xu Bai had probably guessed this result in his heart, but he was not disappointed. However, he could do it after muttering a few words in front of King Yi. He didn't know how long Xu Youzhen could be popular. However, since he was from King Yi, the other party's actions were a bit ungrateful. Even if the other party entered the cabinet, King Yi would not be less disgusted with him.
There are countless snobbish people in the world, but I don’t care about the more he is.
June really seemed to be what she said, and everyone seemed to have forgotten her except Xu Bai.
When he was not with King Yi, Xu Bai would still accompany her to relax in the palace. In the palace, those who could talk to June without any restraint were Xu Bai. The age of King Yi was there, and June was destined to be close to him, and others were even less qualified.
When he occasionally talked to her about Xu Youzhen, June was not disgusted. Xu Bai asked her a little curiously why, but June told him that if he stayed in the court for a long time, he would find that almost all officials were like this. If he had the opportunity to stay in the palace for a while, the situation in the palace was even worse than that in the court.
When he said this at a young age, he actually felt like he was able to break through the world. Xu Bai was stunned for a long time before he could digest these words.
As the days passed day by day, the storm outside seemed to gradually calm down due to the deaths of Yu Qian and Wang Wen. The people and officials in the world seemed to have accepted the fact that they had changed an emperor, and also accepted the fact that Jingtai's eight years were accepted by Jingtai.
On the sixth day after this incident, the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen announced the reinstatement of the throne and changed the reign of Tianshun.
After this year, it will be the Tianshun Year.
After this year, Xu Bai Shiqi.
