Ming Dynasty: The army is forcing the palace, you say that Lao Zhu faked his death

In Fang Xiaoru's mansion, the study is still lit.

So late at night, Fang Xiaoru hadn't slept yet, and was picking up the lights to handle official business.

After he was reused by the crown prince Zhu Yunwen, he didn't dare to slack off every day, and he had to deal with official business until late at night before he was willing to sleep.

At this time, the servant suddenly hurried to report: "Master, someone has come to the palace!"

As soon as he heard that it was someone from the palace, Fang Xiaoru immediately put down the pen in his hand and went to greet the guests.

It was indeed the eunuchs of the palace who came.

The other party seemed to be very anxious, so he avoided the polite words on weekdays, and when he saw Fang Xiaoru, he immediately said: "Fang Daru, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you to the palace, and there is something urgent and important to discuss with you!"

Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but wonder in his heart when he saw the eunuch looking so nervous.

It's so late, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have to summon himself now?

It's not a few hours until dawn, so what's the point we can't wait until tomorrow?

However, because of this, it also shows that the situation behind it should be very urgent, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not disturb him at this night.

He unconsciously remembered the edict issued by the crown prince to the vassal kings of various places not long ago, and the act of cutting the feudal domain.

Fang Xiaoru's face changed slightly.

As soon as the crown prince took power, he cut so many vassal kings in a row, wouldn't it be because something happened to the feudal lord?

Those vassal kings are all the elders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and many of them have been on the battlefield and have personally defeated a part of the Ming Dynasty.

Not so easy to deal with.

How could it be so easy to cut off their vassal kings and reduce them to concubines?

In fact, he didn't support the order in his heart, at least not before the prince gained a firm foothold.

In his opinion, it was best to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to implement the Tui'en Decree and disintegrate the power of the vassal kings little by little.

But when he was invited, the prince's edict had already been sent to the vassal kings of various places.

As a courtier, he can only cry out in vain.

Thinking that something might go wrong with the cutting of the domain, Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.

He did not dare to delay the time, hurriedly added a coat, got into the carriage, and headed for the palace at full speed.

After a long journey, the carriage finally arrived near the palace gate.

As soon as Fang Xiaoru got off the carriage, he saw two carriages parked not far away.

Qi Tai, the head of the military department, and Huang Zicheng, the secretary of Taichang Temple, actually came!

These two are also two people that the crown prince Zhu Yunwen trusts very much.

The fact that the prince actually summoned these two people when he summoned himself fully shows that the matter to be discussed tonight is very important!

Fang Xiaoru's heart became heavier and heavier.

At this moment, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, who were getting out of the car, also saw Fang Xiaoru not far away.

Although he didn't show anything on his face, he was very surprised in his heart.

It is not surprising that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned the two of them over, but he even summoned this great Confucian

What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to discuss with them?

After the three of them saw the ceremony, Qi Tai couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and asked, "Lord Fang, do you know that the emperor and grandson are coming to us at this time, why is it?"

To be honest, he and Huang Zicheng are still confused.

Although Fang Xiaoru had already guessed in his heart at this time, he did not say anything about it.

He still remembered in his heart that the two people in front of him were both strong supporters of the cutting of the domain.

It's just that Qi Tai is a little more aggressive, and he had previously advised to attack Zhu Di, the king of Yan, first.

Huang Zicheng was a little more tactful, thinking that he would deal with the other vassal kings first, so that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, could relax his attention.

The crown prince adopted Huang Zicheng's opinion.

However, both of them are deeply trusted by the crown prince Zhu Yunwen, and as a new official in the court, even if he is entrusted with important responsibilities, he is older than the two, and he also knows that he is still a junior in the officialdom in front of these two people.

In any case, he can't put on any high posture, that's an offending move.

So in the face of Qi Tai's tentative words, he shook his head and said frankly: "The person who came to deliver the message didn't say much, and I don't know. "

"However, if it is not a very urgent matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not summon us to the palace at this time. "

There is no need for him to say this, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng have already thought of it.

The two glanced at each other, nodded and said, "Yes, then let's hurry in, don't let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait." "

"yes, it's better to go in early. "

The three of them entered the palace with apprehension in their hearts.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, the three of them came to the dormitory where Zhu Yunwen temporarily lived.

The lights in the dormitory were bright, and there was no intention of resting, but it seemed like I wanted to talk with them all night!

The three of them had a suddenness in their hearts, and they had a bad premonition.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with government affairs during the day, and now he should be so tired that he has to sleep, how can he summon them into the palace and make a long talk?

Could it be that something big has happened?

Before they could think of anything, the three of them stepped into the dormitory.

As soon as I entered, I saw that the crown prince Zhu Yunwen, who was supposed to sleep, was like an ant on a hot pot, walking around the hall constantly, with sweat on his smooth forehead.

It looks like a great enemy, and I'm very anxious!
