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

They can be considered as the sinners who indirectly destroyed the Ming Dynasty, but now they feel much relieved.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Master Zhan, Master Fu, Mr. Liu, your humble servant, Lu Ming, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, requests an audience."

"Minister of Rites? What does he want us to do?"

Zhan Hui lowered his voice in confusion, but he said, "We are all colleagues. The key to officialdom is to get along with everyone. And now it's just a leisure time while waiting for the newspaper to be sold. After a pause, he still said loudly, "Come in."

As the box door opened.

A middle-aged man dressed in casual clothes, looking quite youthful, slowly walked in, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Lord Zhan, Lord Fu, and Mr. Liu. Today's newspaper sale, I thought I'd buy a copy and listen to the sounds of the teahouse and tavern. I didn't expect to run into you all here, so I came to pay my respects."

"Master Lu, please sit down." Zhan Hui was able to sit in his current position quickly, and naturally he would not deliberately put on airs on weekdays.

"I'm honored." Lu Ming, the Left Vice Minister of Rites, beamed with joy and offered a wave of flattery. "You gentlemen, despite your busy schedules, have taken the time to come here and listen to the people's voices. You truly are worthy of being the heads of the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty and the backbone of the imperial court."

Zhan Hui knew that no one would come to the palace for no reason. The officials in the court were all shrewd people. The other party definitely didn't come here just to pay a visit or give a few compliments. Therefore, he only raised his eyebrows slightly and said politely, "Lord Lu, you are too kind. When working for the court and His Majesty, I should do my best."

Fu Youwen didn't say much, just nodded slightly. Liu Sanwu was too lazy to participate in these boring topics, so he simply lowered his eyes and pretended not to hear.

Lu Ming was not annoyed by this.

Still with a gentle smile on his face, Forty casually brought up the topic:

"I'm sure there will be a huge reaction in Yingtian Prefecture after today's newspaper goes on sale. No one would have thought that Your Majesty would do such a big thing in private. It truly makes us ashamed and embarrassed, and we should look at him with new eyes."

"Although Your Majesty hasn't pointed this out, I personally believe that perhaps several of you have contributed to this, but perhaps you're just not comfortable speaking about it."

When Lu Ming suddenly mentioned this matter, Zhan Hui, Fu Youwen and Liu Sanwu were all confused and didn't know what Lu Ming was talking about.

After a moment, Zhan Hui's eyes flickered.

He politely ordered him to leave: "Master Lu, I suddenly remembered that I have something important to discuss with Master Fu. I guess it's unfortunate."

Fu Youwen still didn't understand what was going on.

But he still nodded in cooperation and stretched out his hand in a gesture of attraction.

Lu Ming was slightly stunned.

Of course, he didn't dare to disobey Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen, so he could only bow awkwardly and say, "Well... I'm sorry for coming at an inopportune time. I'll take my leave."

Wait for the other party to leave.

Zhan Hui then snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "What an idiot."

Fu Youwen frowned, puzzled, "We didn't know anything about this beforehand. Lu Ming's words are so baffling."

Zhan Hui pondered for a moment, then raised an eyebrow. "It's not that strange, actually. When the court was dismissed just now, did you vaguely hear someone mentioning something like 'someone is giving His Majesty advice'?"

Fu Youwen and Liu Sanwu exchanged blank glances.

Apparently, no one noticed this.

Zhan Hui explained, "On that day, the late emperor passed away suddenly. Your Majesty quickly seized control of the Qianqing Palace. He mobilized the Huaixi nobles before the morning court session and persuaded the three of us with his eloquent quotations. This was the reason for his smooth court session and subsequent ascension to the throne. In our opinion, Your Majesty is intelligent, resourceful, decisive, and courageous... but the rest of the court is unaware of these hidden secrets."

"For a long time, in his eyes, this matter was just a case of a timid, dull and foolish Third Prince of the Eastern Palace being pushed onto the throne by the Huaixi nobles. And then there were all kinds of treasonous, unruly and willful behavior. Only today did it shock everyone."

"You said, in this situation."

"Is it more likely that His Majesty has suddenly become smarter and changed his personality, or is it more likely that someone is manipulating and instigating him behind the scenes?" asked Zhan Hui.

Fu Youwen and Liu Sanwu suddenly looked enlightened.

Fu Youwen asked, "So Lu Ming suspects that the three of us are behind this?"

Liu Sanwu was so angry that his beard was blown up: "How could I be such a person without a king or a father? This Lu Ming is too..."

Zhan Hui sneered disdainfully and said, "So he's a fool. Even if he had suspicions, he should have tried to find out indirectly. He actually barged in and got in our faces like this."

Fu Youwen sighed deeply, "But the three of us have always been relatively silent during the morning court. We don't talk much, so it's normal for people to suspect us. But God has mercy on me... I really don't know anything!"

"Your Majesty is truly an actor. He had to act when he was in the Eastern Palace, and he acted even more after ascending the throne. Even we have come to believe that he is truly unconscious."

"These people should really be shown His Majesty's face that night."

Fu Youwen complained somewhat angrily.

Zhan Hui shrugged helplessly: "What can we do? His Majesty is just like that. But this time, it's thanks to His Majesty's acting skills, otherwise it might not have succeeded. With such a Majesty, we should just be happy."

Liu Sanwu nodded with satisfaction. "That's right. This matter... will eventually be revealed. There's no one behind the scenes giving us advice. Our Majesty is more cunning and devious than anyone else, hahaha!"

Although misunderstood.

But for the three of them, this was something they welcomed.

"Oh, the newspaper is here." Zhan Hui said after taking a look outside.
