Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

"In fact, if it was the Second Prince, he would never do such a thing as wasting his time during a funeral!"

Yuan Tai's eyes glared, and he immediately shook his head with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that the Second Prince is ill. The day before yesterday, His Majesty conferred the title of Prince on the Second Prince. When the Second Prince came to Fengtian Hall to receive the ceremony, his steps were unsteady and his face was pale. Alas..."

If it is said that there have always been people who have doubts about Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts and life or death.

But Zhu Yunhuan made him appear in public in a sickly state, so there is basically no explanation for this.

Seeing Yuan Tai's expression of regret.

Zhou Dexing was secretly delighted.

His face showed a solemn and serious expression: "Master Yuan, have you ever considered that there might be something fishy about this matter?"

Yuan Tai's pupils shrank slightly, and he glanced around with some concern, saying, "What does Jiang Xiahou mean?"

Zhou Dexing also glanced around with a worried look on his face, and kept it a secret: "This is not the place to talk, I can only say this much."

He gave Yuan Tai a meaningful look.

He clasped his fists, bowed, turned around and walked away slowly.

As for Zhou Dexing's identity, what he said here is very clear.

For him, Yuan Tai is certainly someone he can win over, but not someone he can completely trust.

If the other party is interested, they will naturally come to him for work.

……

Qianqing Palace.

Front hall.

As soon as Zhu Yunhuan returned to the palace, Song Zhong approached him and said, "Your Majesty, the commander of the Palace Guards, Zhou Ji, has been apprehended for committing adultery with a palace maid."

Song Zhong clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.

Although he didn't dare to look directly at the emperor, he still couldn't help but look up and take a closer look at Zhu Yunhuan.

Nothing else.

He just thought it was strange—so strange!

Zhou Ji, the only son of Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing, although he had mediocre abilities, was appointed Commander of the Imperial Guards in the Palace Front Office due to the childhood friendship between Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing and the late emperor.

Originally, the new emperor ascended the throne.

Zhou Ji and Zhou Dexing are the in-laws of the Second Prince of the Eastern Palace. Even if Your Majesty does not deal with them, you should not let Zhou Ji hold such an important position as the "Commander of the Palace Guards".

But His Majesty did not pull him down, but let him continue to serve.

At first Song Zhong thought.

This was because the matter was handled too hastily, and the new emperor had many things to deal with upon ascending the throne. Zhu Yunhuan had lived in the Eastern Palace for many years, so he did not know much about the relationship between Zhou Ji, Zhou Dexing, and Zhu Yunwen.

But when he was hesitating whether to bring up the matter, His Majesty gave him a secret order: [Keep a close watch on Zhou Ji and don't let him know anything.]

Song Zhong was confused.

But he had just been promoted to the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and had no time to do things or show his loyalty, so he did not dare to say anything and could only follow the order and send someone to watch.

As a result, someone reported it during the morning court session.

Something happened to Zhou Ji!

When Zhou Ji received this news, he was shocked...

It was as if he had known this would happen.

Just waiting for Zhou Ji to make a mistake!

It was obvious that just a few days ago, the new emperor in front of him was just an inconspicuous and ignored grandson of the emperor who had lived in a corner of the East Palace for many years.

But now he seems to be able to predict the future as if he were a god!

"Okay, I understand."

"The Jinyiwei are handling this case. The emperor's grandfather's death has only been going on for ten days, and my father's death has only been over three months. They are still in mourning. Zhou Ji, as the commander of the imperial guards, committed adultery with a palace maid in the palace, which is extremely treasonous."

"Dang, the whole family will be executed."

Song Zhong was still in shock and guessing when he heard the emperor in front of him give a solution in a calm tone, and it was even impossible to detect any emotion in him.

"The minister obeys the order."

Song Zhong took a deep breath to calm himself down and immediately responded.

But his heart was like a raging storm, unable to calm down at all: "Your Majesty, has this really been anticipated?"
