Lu woke up and quickly grabbed Zhu Yunwen's arm and asked.

Zhu Yunwen was frightened.

"Mother, this is my son's bedroom. All the eunuchs and maids in the Eastern Palace have been taken away by the Imperial Guards. A new group of people have come to clean up the Eastern Palace.

When I went to see the imperial physician, I heard that the Emperor had indeed appointed him as the crown prince and regent, and that he was the one who would make decisions on all military and national affairs."

Zhu Yunwen replied weakly.

"Regent? How is that possible?" Lu was shocked. Even if he was appointed as the crown prince, how could he be directly made regent?

This is a state affair, not a joke.

Does he have any experience in handling state affairs? In the end, won't the power still be monopolized by the relatives of the emperor?

The power of foreign relatives?

Lan Yu and Chang Sheng didn't mean that. Lan Yu was just a little arrogant, but his loyalty was beyond doubt.

Chang Sheng was devoted to Zhu Yunhuan, and his identity as an uncle meant that Chang Sheng could only help Zhu Yunhuan seize power, but could not compete with Zhu Yunhuan for power.

"I don't know. I heard that my father appeared in his dream and threw the imperial seal of the First Emperor to him, and told him that as the son of this emperor, his family would prosper forever. When he woke up, he found the imperial seal was really in his arms." Zhu Yunwen told Lu what he had seen and heard.

Lu was completely dumbfounded.

"The Imperial Seal represents the orthodoxy of the world. It was given by heaven. It should last forever. The former crown prince passed away several months ago. Could it really appear?"

Lu murmured to himself, seemingly unable to believe it.

Zhu Yunwen continued, "Mother, just before the imperial physician left, he said that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and there is a god above your head. Do you know what this means?"

Hearing this, Lu's pupils shrank and she suddenly remembered what Jiang Li said.

"Yunwen, go and find out how your grandfather and the others are doing." Lu said hurriedly.

Zhu Yunwen shook his head. "No need to ask. I heard about it when I came back. The founding Duke Chang Sheng impeached my grandfather's family for several serious crimes. The Jinyiwei has imprisoned him in the imperial prison for investigation, and all the shops and properties under his name have been closed down."

"What a daredevil he is!" Lu knew with her toes that this must have been Zhu Yunhuan's instruction.

Without Zhu Yunhuan's nod, would the Jinyiwei dare to offend the Crown Princess?

ridiculous.

"Mother, what should we do now?" Zhu Yunwen was inexplicably panicked. Zhu Yunhuan was now in control of the palace, and the fate of them, mother and son, was already very bleak.

Mrs. Lu calmed down and said, "Go, go find your royal grandfather. Only your royal grandfather can turn the tide now."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head. "Grandpa Emperor misses my father so much that he is chanting sutras and praying for him in the Buddhist temple. He won't see anyone."

"What's the point of chanting sutras and praying for blessings! This is house arrest! They are plotting a rebellion, this is putting the emperor under house arrest!" Lu would never believe this reason, it was too ridiculous.

This is clearly house arrest.

Zhu Yunwen asked, "Even so, what can we do?"

"Go to Wucheng Bingmasi and find your uncle! He has soldiers!" Lu said hurriedly. The Lu family also had military power, although not much.

But there are also thousands of people who can be mobilized.

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his face became even uglier.

"The Five Cities Military Command is gone. The military power is temporarily held by Duke Lan Yu of Liang. The Five Cities Military Command will be abolished and the military power will be restored to the Ministry of War. Duke Tang He of Xin will be transferred back to the capital to serve as the Minister of War and coordinate the mobilization of troops across the country."

After hearing the bad news from Zhu Yunwen, Lu felt a headache.

Duke Xin Tang He!

The leading figure of Huaixi Group!

The Huaixi Group has five key figures, namely Chang Yuchun, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Lan Yu and Tang He!

Now Chang Yuchun, Li Shanchang and Xu Da are dead.

Tang He retired and returned to his hometown, leaving Lan Yu alone to support the Huaixi Group.

The building is about to collapse.

Why was Tang He called back again?

When Tang He returned to Beijing, the Huaixi Group had a white jade pillar supporting the sky and a purple gold beam spanning the sea. Even if all the civil and military officials in the court united, the rest of the factions might not be able to shake the Huaixi Group.
