"Hurry up and go to the East Palace to invite the Holy Emperor back!" The historian Gou Ride quickly stood up and ran towards the East Palace without hesitation.

“All officials, follow me to invite the Holy Emperor to return to the palace. No force, just go voluntarily.” Wang Chunsan left these words and hurried to the East Palace.

After hearing this, all the officials stood up and responded in unison, "Let's go together."

They all knew in their hearts that this was not a truly voluntary choice. Even though there were two choices, there was actually only one choice.

If someone does not go today, his name will be recorded in history books as a disloyal minister and will bear eternal infamy.

In addition, those who do not go will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the court and will be despised and rejected by everyone. Therefore, no matter what, they must go to the East Palace to show their loyalty to the emperor.

After Wang Chunsan finished speaking, he left in a hurry, and all the officials followed him and walked towards the East Palace together.

Many officials were filled with tension and anxiety, but they had to face this situation.

"The plague has entered the palace? How is this possible? Is there a Buddhist spy in the palace?"

"I don't know, but hurry up and take precautions. This palace is not safe anymore."

"Yes, how come all these bad things happened after my father passed away?"

"Seventeenth Uncle, be careful with your words!"

"Gao Chi is right, Seventeenth Brother, be careful with your words."

Several princes also started discussing in low voices, and they were all troubled by the plague.

The Taoists looked at each other, not understanding what the Buddhists were doing. They were rushing towards death. The plague had even spread to the imperial palace. Did they really think that Zhu Yunhuan's Maxim could not destroy them?

East Palace.

Zhu Yunhuan led his men to the Eastern Palace in a mighty procession, and as expected, they saw that the gate of the Eastern Palace was closed. Zhu Yunhuan hurriedly asked someone to knock on the door.

"His Majesty has arrived! Open the door quickly to welcome him!" Hao Youqian shouted loudly.

Reminding the people inside that Zhu Yunhuan is coming, don't open the door.

When the people in the Eastern Palace heard that Zhu Yunhuan was coming, they were undecided and hurried to find Princess Jiangdu for the decision.

Princess Jiangdu came to the gate of the East Palace and shouted to Zhu Yunhuan through the door, "Your Majesty, the East Palace is in danger. Please return to the palace and don't come here for the time being."

"Your Majesty, please return to the palace!" Behind Princess Jiangdu, there were loud shouts from the eunuchs and maids.

"Sister, it may not be a plague. It is possible that the imperial physician made a misdiagnosis. The entrance and exit of the imperial palace are strictly guarded. I have already asked the imperial physician to come over. Please open the door." Zhu Yunheng shouted inside.

"Then Your Majesty, please wait until the imperial physician confirms that your sister's illness is not plague before coming to the East Palace." Princess Jiangdu still did not open the door.

Obstructing the Holy Chariot is a capital crime.

But there is no other way. In extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done.

"Someone, break open the palace gate for me."

Zhu Yunhuan directly ordered people to break down the palace gate and insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang has arrived with all the officials." At this time, the eunuch beside him reminded Zhu Yunhuan.

Zhu Yunhuan turned around and saw a group of people running towards him, gasping for breath.

Wang Chunsan slid to his knees and came to Zhu Yunhuan, panting and saluting, "I am Wang Chunsan, the second assistant of the cabinet. I respectfully wish Your Majesty good health. I implore Your Majesty to return to the throne!"

"Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you the best of health and peace. Please return to the throne!"

All the officials knelt down and shouted.

"What are you doing? Are you forcing the emperor to abdicate?" Zhu Yunhuan glared at Hao Youqian, then looked at the officials and said.

Zhu Yunhuan understood that it must be Hao Youqian who informed all the officials, otherwise the officials would not have known the news so quickly.

"Your Majesty, please return to the palace." Hao Youqian also knelt down and bowed his head and shouted.

"Your Majesty, please return to the palace!" the officials shouted again.

Zhu Yunhuan frowned and waved his hand impatiently.

"I will leave after I understand the situation clearly. My dear ministers, please leave first."

Seeing Zhu Yunhuan's firm attitude, all the officials looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
