"Master!"

The butler, who only had one eye, stepped into the backyard of the Kai Guo Gong Chang family and called out through the window.

He said he was a butler, but in fact, at a glance, he was a murderous martial artist. One eye is blind, only half of his ear, and only three fingers on his right hand.

As the most prominent martial family in the founding of the Great Ming, the Chang family's butler and housekeeper were all veterans who had followed the Chang family in the military and were placed in the Chang family after they retired.

"Sixth Uncle, what is it?" With a lamp burning in the bedroom, the Founding Prince Chang Sheng asked.

"Someone from the palace!" The butler lowered his voice outside the window, his only eye particularly bright, "Third Master's men!"

King Wu Zhu Yunyun was the Chang family's full grandson, and when the Chang family talked privately, they would use the intimate title of Third Master.

The bedroom was quiet for a moment, followed by Chang Sheng, who was bare-chested, revealing a robust figure, coming out from inside with a taut face, "Where is the man?"

"Drinking tea in the flower hall!"

Chang Sheng put on a piece of clothing and walked out, while walking, thinking

At this hour, why did the Third Master send someone?

To avoid suspicion, the Third Master hardly ever sends letters to the Chang family?

Could it be that there is a change in the palace?

Suddenly Chang Sheng's footsteps stopped and he looked back at the butler, "Sixth Uncle, let our sons and daughters move and move their muscles."

The butler hemmed and hawed, his scarlet tongue licking his lips.

Throughout the ages, when the emperor grew old, without an announcement of succession, that chair was a bloodbath.

Now that the vassal kings were all out in the open, the whip was out of reach. And amongst the center of this capital, whoever can sit in that chair is orthodox.

Chang Sheng is not stupid, if it is true that the emperor suddenly died, there is no candidate for the crown prince. If the third master has the intention to fight for it, the Chang family must support it, even if it breaks the family.

Because even if the Chang family does not help, after the new emperor ascends to the throne, as the King of Wu's own uncle they will not be able to get away with it.

These years, the dead meritorious officials are still few?

Thinking in his head, entered the flower hall. Sure enough, Zhu Yunyun's personal eunuch Wang Bashi, anxiously waiting where.

"Slave girl has met the State Duke!"

"Old Wang don't come to this!" Chang Sheng of course could not accept Wang Bashi's salute, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What is it?"

Wang Bashimi came closer and whispered, "Your Excellency, the Emperor's old man is sick!"

Chang Sheng's gaze instantly blazed up, filled with murderous anger.

"But the Imperial Doctor said it was just an acute fire, the phlegm blocked the heart orifices, it's no big deal now!"

"Don't breathe heavily when you fucking speak!" Chang Sheng laughed and scolded.

"But many people, however, feel that the old emperor may not be able to make it!" Wang Bashimi continued, "The old emperor decreed that the master would supervise the country!" (The word master is not exclusive to the Qing Dynasty, but in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties it specifically refers to a nobleman's house slave)

"The Third Master will oversee the country!" Chang Sheng's eyes were suddenly filled with ecstasy and clenched his fists.

"Master Gong, the master said that the capital is in your hands!" Wang Bashi said, handing Chang Sheng a letter.

The latter couldn't wait to open it, and on it was Zhu Yunyun's handwriting.

"Second uncle, imperial grandfather is sick, nephew is supervising the country."

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"In case there are people in the palace, in the city spreading rumors, and the curmudgeons are causing chaos. You are hereby ordered to command the four battalions of soldiers and horses under you, to sit in the capital and stand by."

"Second uncle, imperial grandfather is fine, but I'm afraid, someone is causing trouble!"

"Without imperial grandfather's imperial order flag and my own letter, no one may call upon a single soldier of the capital battalion, those who disobey the order, kill!"

"Men, prepare the horses!" Chang Sheng shouted to the outside, "Have the household guards all draped up and wear heavy armor. Go to the side yard and inform Lao San to follow me into the camp and take control of the army!"

"Here!" The household servants outside were as if they were in the army.

"How is the situation in the palace?" Chang Sheng opened his mouth to ask while wearing his iron armor under the service of the house servants.

Wang Bashi looked at the people behind Chang Sheng and did not say anything.

The latter waved his hand and the household servants went down.

"Your Excellency, slave girl is talking too much." Wang Bashang looked at the left and right and whispered, "That Lu s ......."

Said, the voice is a little bit smaller, "The old emperor pulled the master s hand and coughed, and said that the king of Wu for the Great Ming ..... At this time, Lv and King Huai wouldn't let the old master speak!"

"What?" Chang Sheng said angrily.

"They can't see that our master is good!" Wang Bajun said, "Ever since the Crown Princess left, that Lu Clan has treated the master as a thorn in his side, preventing and blocking him, and she won't even let the master get close to the Crown Prince if he wants to!"

Said Wang Bajun cried twice, "They can't wait for the master to die, and now that the master is supervising the country, they may ..... \"

"Hehehe!" Chang Sheng sneered, "Bullying my Chang family no one?" Said, another cold smile, "Go back and tell the third master, the capital has me, there are so many old ministers of the crown prince, so many old generals of Huaixi, no one can make a scene!"

"Slave girl knows!"

~~~~~

Zhu Yuanzhang lay on the bed in a deep sleep, his breathing was still steady.

Zhu Yunzhang slowly took his hand out of the old man's hand, covered him with a quilt and quietly walked to the outer room.

The outer room of the bedchamber is the place where Zhu Yuanzhang reads the zhangfu every day. Looking at the same pattern as in the Forbidden City of the later son, it should be said that the later Forbidden City is modeled after the palace of Yingtian.

Seeing Zhu Yunzhang come out, a few of the central ministers guarding the outside immediately stood up and listened with solemn hands.

"Imperial grandfather is only suffering from an acute illness, he should be fine!" Zhu Yunyun whispered, "Only this illness is too urgent, perhaps some people will have thoughts that they shouldn't have. All of you are imperial grandfather's personally promoted subjects, are the loyal pillars of Daming, at this juncture, stabilizing the dynasty is still dependent on all of you!"

"I wouldn't dare!"

"When Imperial Grandfather said that he would let me supervise the country, he was actually afraid that someone would ....... at this time." Zhu Yun looks at his ministers, "The news that his old man is ill, it's better not to spread it, understand?"

"I understand!"

"All of you work hard!" Zhu Yun Yun nodded his head and said, turning back to the palace again.

Looking at his back, the civil ministers glanced at each other, the commendation in their eyes was self-evident.

At such a juncture, King Wu was able to be so calm, both the civil ministers and the military generals were arranged properly, it was really the heart of the gutter.

Not to mention the emperor is just an emergency, even if the emperor suddenly died today, with these arrangements in the capital who is the king of Wu's opponent?

Liu Sango suddenly remembered that these days Zhu Yuanzhang under those edicts, and the King of Wu close to the Chang family, as well as the Huaxi line of those generals, have returned to the army of the Ming Dynasty, mastered the military power around the capital.

There is also today's emperor said that the king of Wu as a supervisor, all these intertwined together. Liu Sango instantly understood that the matter of the Crown Prince was already settled in the Emperor's mind.

Now it seems that King Wu is the best candidate.

Emperor Ming first grandson, identity orthodox, will not cause the clan's disobedience, and the world has a name to discuss.

And the king of Wu Yingwu intelligent also in the late Prince above, small age, whether it is the city or wrist is outstanding.

On the contrary, King Huai Zhu Yun braised?

Liu Sango shook his head, before he was on the king of Huai senses quite good, but recently and the king of Wu compared to the king of Huai is only know to read, no heart and wrist, boldness seems to be much worse.

And today in front of the emperor's deathbed, they mother and son sing together really dim move repeatedly. They think that if they don't let the emperor say those words, there is still hope? Unbeknownst to them, they have cut off their own path.

While the ministers were pondering in their own minds, a man with a cool face was brought in.

All of them were stunned, then their faces showed contempt and turned their heads away.

"Lord Jiang, this way!" Yellow Dogger led the way.

The one who came was Jiang Scepter, the Commander of the Brocade Guards, who was actually the Emperor's eagle dog, specializing in monitoring the ministers' Daxing imperial prisons, and was an uncompromisingly cool official.

Jiang Scepter also did not look at the civil ministers, carefully walked into the bedchamber, kneeling at the door.

Zhu Yunyun waved his hand, the other people palace people go away, but Huang Dog Er took the duster, standing at the side of Zhu Yuanzhang's bed.

"Eunuch Huang!" Zhu Yunzhang sneered, "Go get a hot towel, I want to wipe my royal grandfather's face! "

Huang Gu'er immediately froze, and then under Zhu Yun Yun's gaze only felt his body soften, no longer able to stand steadily, piled on two smiles, "Slave servant this will go! "

Waiting for him to walk away. Zhu Yunyun walked to Jiang Scepter in front of him, looking at his cool face, "You all know what happened?"

Jiang Scepter looked at the direction where Zhu Yuanzhang was and looked at Zhu Yunyun nodding his head.

Then slowly spoke, "My master is the Emperor, Supervisor please command! "

Listen to the words to hear the tone, Zhu Yun Yun grinned, this Jiang Scepter looks like he can be fought for as well.

"Imperial grandfather's dragon body is sick, I'm afraid that someone in the palace is restless. " Said Zhu Yunyun in a low voice, "Before Imperial Grandpa wakes up, a fly in the palace don't want to fly out! Understand? "

"Minister, understand! "
