But the two of them never expected it.
This time it was Zhu Yunhuan.
No trembling, no stuttering, no hesitating...
He even dared to look them in the face and bring out the so-called "etiquette" they always talked about, and turned the tables on them!
Being stared at by those cold, bright eyes...
The two of them seemed to see a glimpse of His Majesty's shadow - the majesty of the emperor and the aura of imperial power!
Thinking of this, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai pursed their lips and swallowed their saliva, and a trace of fear inexplicably arose in their hearts...
Look at Zhu Yunhuan.
It was clearly that familiar, annoying face, but Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai both felt it was extremely unfamiliar.
When you realize what you are thinking.
They both gasped in unison, their hearts pounding with fear—"The Emperor's pressure... That position clearly belongs to the Second Prince, how could I have thought that!?"
at the same time.
Alarm bells rang in the two of them.
Because they also realized another point at the same time - His Majesty had passed away, and Zhu Yunhuan was going to seize the throne!!!
This Zhu Yunhuan is definitely not as timid as they usually see him!
Or maybe...his previous behavior was all fake!!
And what is his intention?
He is scheming and waiting to fight for the throne!
Let all of them have no defense against him!
He is waiting for an opportunity! ?
So now, he stood out and stood at the front of the Fengtian Hall!
"No!"
"That position can only belong to the Second Prince!"
Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai looked at each other in horror, and saw determination and resolve in each other's eyes.
They were both Jinshi who passed the imperial examination in the 18th year of Hongwu.
He has been doing well in the court these years, but not too badly either. He is in the Hanlin Academy and prides himself on being a clear-minded scholar.
But want to be close to the center of political power.
Zhu Yunwen was almost their only hope and support.
Especially in recent months, Zhu Yunwen has become increasingly dependent on them, and they have been directly or indirectly involved in it...
For most people.
Once you have tasted this feeling, you can't help yourself.
Huang Zicheng took a deep breath and mentally encouraged himself, "What's there to be afraid of? The eldest grandson of the Eastern Palace died ten years ago, so the Second Prince is the legitimate heir! Besides, everyone in the court watched His Majesty take the Second Prince to and from Fengtian Hall and Jinshen Hall to learn about state affairs. He even has the honor of accompanying the emperor at the morning court!"
"Among all the civil and military officials in the court, who would recognize him except for those Huaixi scoundrels?!"
Think of this.
Huang Zicheng looked away and didn't look into Zhu Yunhuan's eyes.
Then, pretending to be calm, he flicked his sleeves and tried to redirect everyone's attention to Zhu Yunwen's affairs: "I... I am asking about the Second Prince's affairs now."
After saying this, he bowed to all the civil and military officials in Fengtian Hall.
He deliberately raised his voice and spoke first, "His Majesty has passed away, and the whole nation mourns! Now is the time to invite the Second Prince of the Eastern Palace to preside over the funeral. What do you think, my colleagues?"
Huang Zicheng ranked third in the imperial examination, and he was not stupid.
As the saying goes, the dead are greatest.
This is the death of the king of a country.
In contrast, a title seems less important.
really.
Many people in Fengtian Hall heard his words.
They all nodded.
After all, Zhu Yunhuan is a stranger to most people.
Even for many scholars who entered the imperial court through the Enke exam, and military commanders who entered the Fengtian Hall through the Wuju exam, who was Zhu Yunhuan? They didn't know. Even the name "Zhu Yunhuan" was the first time they heard it today.
In addition, Huang Zicheng's status in the court has been rising in recent days.
Most people naturally and subconsciously follow Huang Zicheng's rhythm.
Zhu Yunhuan was certainly not surprised by this, but he was not intimidated at all. He spoke directly and sternly scolded him: "Master Huang! You are wrong again!"
He stood on the imperial carriage, looking down from above.
