People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

Chapter 306

Three days later, the eagle carried Wu Yu back to the capital of Daming.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he found that something was wrong. It seemed that the whole city of Beijing was under martial law.

Looking at the patrolling soldiers on the street, he realized that something was wrong and rushed to Prince Xin's Mansion. .

"Master, you are finally back!"

As soon as he entered Prince Xin's Mansion, he ran into Wang Chengen who was coming towards him.

"No, what's wrong with Wang Daban? I left the capital for only about half a month. How come I became like this as soon as I came back!"

"Master, don't ask me for now. Let's go to the palace quickly. It seems that something big has happened in the palace. The messengers have come many times in the past few days. Seeing that you haven't come back, they asked me to notify you as soon as you come back."

"Go to the palace? So anxious?"

Hearing Wang Chengen's words, Wu Yu immediately had a bad premonition.

So he didn't bother to ask more questions, and immediately used teleportation to come to the palace.

"Your Highness, you are finally back. Come in with me quickly. It will be too late if you are one step later!"

As soon as he appeared, Wei Zhongxian, who was guarding outside the Qianqing Palace, came to meet him, and then led him in without saying anything.

"Brother? Not good!"

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Wu Yu was shocked and immediately understood that something had happened to Zhu Youxiao.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he saw the emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan who was constantly wiping tears, the Duke of England Zhang Weixian and the cabinet chief Huang Liji who were guarding in front of the dragon bed, and Zhu Youxiao who was obviously on his deathbed.

"How could this happen!"

As soon as Wu Yu saw Zhu Youxiao's current state, his mind went blank.

It was too sudden. Shouldn't Zhu Youxiao die in August of the seventh year of Tianqi? Why is he dead now in October of the sixth year of Tianqi? Is it because of himself that the butterfly effect was triggered, causing Zhu Youxiao to die early?

"Fifth brother, you are back. Come and see His Majesty. His Majesty is probably dying!"

Seeing Wu Yu coming in, the Queen immediately pulled him to Zhu Youxiao without saying anything.

"Ahem, it's my fifth brother!"

Seeing that it was Wu Yu, Zhu Youxiao pulled his hand with difficulty, and then said weakly: "I am afraid that my brother is dying, and the Ming Dynasty is now in a precarious situation, so I can only hand over this mess to you. My brother should be like Rao Shun!"

"Boom!"

Zhu Youxiao's words instantly made Wu Yu's mind explode.

"My brother should be like Rao Shun", it turns out that Zhu Youxiao really said this.

And not only Wu Yu, but also Queen Zhang Yan, who had been guarding the bed, Huang Liji, the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Weixian, the head of the nobles, and Wei Zhongxian, the 9,000-year-old, all looked at the brothers in shock.

Who is Rao Shun? He is an ancient wise ruler who has been praised for thousands of years. I didn't expect that the emperor would compare Prince Xin to Rao Shun. How much expectation does this have for him!

At this time, Zhu Youxiao had no strength to pull Wu Yu after saying this. He just looked at Zhang Yan with the help of the eunuchs.

"Fifth brother, I'm sorry for your sister-in-law. I hope you can treat her well in the future!"

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Yan didn't expect that Zhu Youxiao was still thinking about her at this time. She didn't care that there were outsiders present, and she threw herself on her husband and cried.

This scene fell into the eyes of everyone, even Huang Liji, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Zhang Weixian, the head of the nobles, were moved by it.

Wu Yu, who was standing in front of the couch, also nodded quickly, "I know!"

After the queen finished crying, Zhu Youxiao pointed to Wei Zhongxian on the other side, "Zhongxian is loyal and loyal, and can plan for great things!"

"Your Majesty!"

Wei Zhongxian, whose name was called, immediately knelt down, and even cried more sadly than the queen Zhang Yan.

But it is not difficult to understand. Let alone the emperor's ministers, just his bad reputation among the people, once there is no emperor, the whole court will not let him go.

Who made him offend too many people during the years when Tianqi was in power? If it weren't for Zhu Youxiao who had been supporting him behind him, he would have died many times.

It can be imagined that once Zhu Youxiao passed away and the new emperor did not use him, what awaited him was a thousand cuts and pieces, and even his nine clans might not be saved.

Now, when he heard Zhu Youxiao mention him, how could Wei Zhongxian not be excited? Even while crying, he still secretly looked at Wu Yu, wondering if he would agree.

But he was disappointed, because Wu Yu never looked at him from beginning to end, because Wei Zhongxian had not yet considered whether to use him.

This person had a great influence in the court. Including the cabinet chief, the minister of war and the minister of rites, more than one-third of the civil and military officials in the whole court belonged to him.So even if he is to be used, his wings must be clipped.

If he is not to be used, he can only choose one person from other eunuchs to replace him, otherwise he will be fooled by the Donglin Party in the court like Chongzhen in history.

As for the candidate, Wu Yu has even thought about it. First of all, Wang Chengen is definitely not suitable. Although he is loyal enough, he is not capable enough.

Then there are Cao Huachun and Fang Zhenghua. These two are capable and loyal. It is more appropriate to give Wei Zhongxian's position to them.

So whether to continue to employ Wei Zhongxian is not up to him, but to Wei Zhongxian himself.

After seeing Wu Yu's indifference, Wei Zhongxian felt miserable in his heart. He was still thinking about whether to demote himself to Fengyang to guard the spirit after the emperor left, but Wu Yu's next sentence made him return from hell to heaven.

"I got it!"

It was this sentence, although it was a bit perfunctory, but Wei Zhongxian was still very excited, because as long as the other party did not refuse obviously, it meant that there was still a chance.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao again, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that this old slave will do his best for His Royal Highness Prince Xin!"

"That's good!"

Hearing Wu Yu's agreement, Zhu Youxiao finally nodded with satisfaction. He was originally worried that this royal brother would abolish this knife because of Wei Zhongxian's reputation. Now it seems that he was completely overthinking. The fifth brother has his own considerations.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao once again forced himself to say: "Fifth brother, because the royal brother is incompetent, the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to you!"

"Your Majesty!"

Looking at Zhu Youxiao who fainted again, Zhang Yan and others cried again.

After they had cried enough, Wu Yu said to them, "Sister-in-law, please go out first. I want to accompany my brother alone!"

"Well, Fifth Brother, you stay with His Majesty. We will go down first."

After saying that, Zhang Yan and Zhang Weixian left together.

On the other side, Wei Zhongxian and Huang Liji looked at each other and followed them out of the Qianqing Palace.

After confirming that everyone had left, Wu Yu put away his sadness and said helplessly, "How long are you going to pretend!"
