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

That's why I firmly oppose Zhu Yunhuan no matter what...

And now.

After they exchanged their intelligence, all three of them felt their heads buzzing. Standing outside the Meridian Gate, they blended into the crowd of twos and threes, but that familiar clamor seemed to be getting farther and farther away...

"The Third Prince of the East Palace has accomplished something that even His Majesty hasn't!"

"If he could control the Huaixi nobles' clique... would he then have the right to say, 'The people are most important, the state is second, and the emperor is least important'?"

"He does!"

"Because only if he ascends the throne can the Ming Dynasty be stable!"

The three of them felt like a raging storm was brewing in their hearts, and they just stared at each other, looking at each other.

After a long while, Fu Youwen finally woke up from his dream and sighed, "What magical powers does this Third Prince of the East Palace have?!"

Liu Sanwu and Zhan Hui also came to their senses.

He shook his head with a serious look.

They couldn't figure it out.

It is clear that the Third Prince of the Eastern Palace was being looked down upon just yesterday, and was described as "stupid, dull, cowardly, incompetent, and not of royal blood."

How come you have already pulled that group of arrogant soldiers and generals behind you today?

Even...it wasn't the group of Huaixi generals who controlled him, but he controlled the group of Huaixi generals!!!

And if that's the case...how should they choose?

The answer seems to be about to come out!

When they realized this, the three of them felt a chill down their spines at the same time, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end!

Nothing else, because they realize.

Not only did the Third Prince of the Eastern Palace leave those Huaixi generals behind overnight, he also controlled them and even dragged the three of them—three people who were powerful enough to influence half of the court—into his back!!!

And this matter.

It was actually done by a teenager of fourteen or fifteen years old!

He sat on the dragon desk in the Qianqing Palace with a confident smile on his face, as if he had a pair of eyes that could see through everything, as if he had everything under his control.

Instead, it’s these old guys.

Some of them have been fighting outside for years, licking blood on the edge of a sword; some are great scholars with profound knowledge, respected by scholars all over the world; some are high-ranking officials who hold real power in the court and are smooth in handling affairs...

But while he was talking and laughing, he was frightened to the point of being in a state of utter embarrassment!

Just now.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

When the first ray of sunlight shines on the ground.

Atop the Meridian Gate Tower, a massive cowhide drum blasted out a series of thrilling beats—the Meridian Gate had opened…

The bells and drums of the Meridian Gate rang.

The solemn sounds of bells and drums echoed over the Forbidden City.

The expressions of the many civil and military officials waiting outside became serious, and one after another, they filed through the Meridian Gate and entered the imperial city.

Everyone walked forward in silence, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, lined up in the square outside the Fengtian Hall, and then entered the Fengtian Hall in order of their respective positions.

Inside Fengtian Hall.

silence……

There was a long silence...

No one heard the voice of the chief eunuch beside Zhu Yuanzhang announcing that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to court, and there was no movement behind the ceremonial palace above the Fengtian Hall.

"Hmm? Where's His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty has never been late for court before. What happened today?"

"If the morning court was cancelled today, why didn't anyone notify us?"

"This……"

After a long time, many officials in the Fengtian Hall finally couldn't hold back anymore and began to whisper to each other, and even dared to raise their heads and look around.

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai exchanged glances.

Subconsciously, I felt something was wrong.

Huang Zicheng frowned and asked in confusion: "The Second Prince hasn't appeared either."

"Your Majesty is diligent in his duties. He didn't attend the morning court today. Something serious must have happened."

Qi Tai's eyes narrowed as he nodded. "Yes, this is a strange matter. Normally, if something were to happen, the Second Prince would have privately informed you and me in advance, or sought advice from us, especially after the Crown Prince's passing."
