Hearing this, Tang He was even more shocked.

The Five Cities Military Command was abolished, and the military power was returned to the Ministry of War. Doesn't that mean that the Minister of War has become the real power boss, coordinating the mobilization of troops across the country?

"This...this...may I ask who was appointed as the Crown Prince? Why haven't I heard about the enthronement ceremony?"

Tang He asked again.

The eunuch replied, "The date for the enthronement ceremony has not yet been set. The Ministry of Rites is still arranging it. I heard it will be at the end of the year. His Royal Highness Yunxun, the eldest grandson of the emperor, has taken the throne of the Crown Prince. He has now become the regent, and the decree has been announced to the world. Duke Xin, please accept the decree."

"I accept the order." Tang He took the imperial edict and was helped to stand up.

My brain hasn't recovered yet.

Zhu Yunhuan was named the Crown Prince? And he has become the regent?

This is not right. If it is a formal enthronement, then the Ministry of Rites should have arranged the enthronement ceremony.

Now that the title has been conferred, no ceremony has been arranged. There is only one possibility, that is, the conferring of the title of Crown Prince to Zhu Yunhuan was a temporary one.

What exactly happened that led to the temporary canonization?

mutiny……

For some reason, these two words emerged in Tang He's mind.

"Duke Xin, please pack up and return to the court with us immediately. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for you." The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict reminded.

Tang He, who was in a daze, came to his senses and said, "Oh, okay, it's just a small gift. Father-in-law, take it and have some tea."

Tang He ordered someone to bring a purse filled with silver.

"Thank you, Duke. You are so polite."

The eunuch accepted it with a smile.

Tang Heze asked, "Eunuch, I wonder what the current situation in the court is like?"

This money is not collected for free, you have to find out some information.

"I'm not very clear, but I know that Duke Chang was promoted to Minister of Personnel, and Duke Feng of Song was promoted to Prime Minister. I don't know anything about the rest." The eunuch revealed some information about the Huaixi Group.

But... just these two pieces of news are enough.

The Minister of Personnel is in charge of the promotion of officials throughout the country!

The Minister of War is in charge of mobilizing troops across the country!

The chief minister of the cabinet, the prime minister, rules the world in his title!

With these three things, the strength of Huaixi Group will increase immediately.

Prime Minister...is often called the Prime Minister.

In other words, Feng Sheng became the prime minister.

"Thank you, eunuch. Please come into the mansion and have a cup of tea first. I will pack up and return to Beijing immediately." Tang He clasped his fists and said.

The eunuch also hurriedly returned the greeting, "Thank you, Duke."

Tang He once commanded thousands of troops, but in the end he had to retire and return to his hometown, away from the center of power. Who could be willing to accept this?

But...if you are unwilling, you can only die!

Now that he has the opportunity to be rehabilitated, Tang He naturally will not give it up.

Of course, if Zhu Yuanzhang reinstated Tang He, Tang He would definitely refuse, because that would definitely be a strong test.

……

On the way to the arsenal, Zhu Yunhuan was blocked by Feng Sheng again.

"Your Highness, this is the date set by the Ministry of Rites. It will be at the end of December. The enthronement ceremony will cost a total of two million taels of silver. The Ministry of Rites has asked us to speed up the approval. We are undecided, so we have come to consult you."

Feng Sheng came over with the memorial.

Without the enthronement ceremony, the title of Crown Prince will be incomplete.

Zhu Yunhuan took it and looked at it. "Okay, tell all my uncles to come back to Beijing to participate in the enthronement ceremony. It's just right for us to spend a reunion year in Beijing."

"Uh... Your Highness, the vassal kings are not allowed to return to the capital easily, especially the frontier kings guarding the border. Your decree for them to return to the capital is not in accordance with etiquette," Feng Sheng reminded.

Zhu Yunhuan smiled and said, "I haven't seen the uncles for a long time. Let them return to Beijing. By the way, I heard that there is a monk in Beiping, whose Taoist name is Daoyan and whose secular name is Yao Guangxiao. He wears black clothes. I asked the fourth uncle to bring him with him when he comes to Beijing."

Zhu Yunhuan also planned to take this opportunity to test the waters.

Look at the attitudes of these imperial uncles towards himself as the crown prince. Their attitudes will determine his attitude towards them when he reduces the power of the princes next year.

If they support me to be the crown prince, I will be gentle with them and reduce their fiefdoms next year. As for those who oppose me behind my back, I will directly attack them after reducing their fiefdoms next year!
