Chapter 221 Ascension

The bell sounded, and the whole capital suddenly tensed.

On Zhou Zheng's way back to the mansion, countless people came and went in a hurry, and the soldiers from the Five City Military Police were patrolling back and forth, which was simply martial law.

As soon as Zhou Zheng arrived in front of the door, Uncle Fu grabbed Zhou Zheng into the mansion and hurriedly closed the door. He said with a serious expression: Second Young Master, Master has entered the palace.

Zhou Zheng was not panicked, but just said in confusion: Why did Dad enter the palace?

According to his understanding, it should be that the six ministries, the Censorate and the Cabinet bosses entered the palace and agreed to the new emperor ascend the throne. Why did Mr. Zhou go there too?

Uncle Fu obviously knew something and whispered: King Xin was taken into the palace by the British Duke himself not long ago, and the guards of the royal palace followed him.

Zhou Zheng nodded slightly, his eyes as if he was thinking.

The apocalypse has arranged so much in advance, so there should be no problem. Now, I am waiting for Zhu Youjian to take office.

It's okay, there should be news tonight. Zhou Zheng smiled and comforted Uncle Fu. In fact, he was also a little nervous. The risk of handing over the throne was too high, and there was also a powerful Wei Zhongxian on his side.

Uncle Fu was full of worry and did not relax because of Zhou Zheng's few words.

Zhou Zheng didn't say much, but returned to the study, took out a book, and looked at it quietly.

The books that used to make him meditate were useless at this moment.

Zhou Zheng was in a state of peace, and his mind was filled with the death of Tianqi and the ascension of Chongzhen.

The death of Tianqi had a great impact on the Ming Dynasty, so great that even if he knew history, he was panicked and could not control himself.

He sat in the study and could feel the solemnity outside, and even a faint and murderous aura.

As he expected, the five cities of the military commanders had blocked the capital, and the Forbidden City had five steps and one post, and no one could move rashly.

The Qianqing Palace was surrounded by the emperor's personal guards, and no one was allowed to enter and exit.

In it, the identity of the chief assistant Huang Liji was highlighted at this time. He argued with reason and did not even give Wei Zhongxian's face. He brought a group of people to support King Xin Zhu Youjian ascend the throne.

With Empress Zhang holding the will of the Apocalypse, the British Duke holding the sword, and the chief minister Huang Liji represented the support of the civil servant, Zhu Youjian's succession to the throne was unshakable.

No matter how unwilling Wei Zhongxian was, he could only kneel down and say "Long Live the Lord".

The general situation was settled, and the ministers supported Zhu Youjian and came to Fengtian Gate to meet all the officials.

The ministers raised their hands and bowed, shouting, "Long live my emperor."

Zhu Youjian was sitting in the hall, only sixteen years old, with a thin figure. Looking at the ministers in the hall, his expression was a little tight, and his hands were tightly grasping the corners of his clothes.

But his eyes were burning and there was a hint of confidence.

Zhou Qingli stood by the door, staring at Chongzhen's side face, and was looking forward to him like many people.

I hope he cleanses the world and revives the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Qingli did not notice that Wei Zhongxian and some internal supervisors of the eunuch party looked at each other quietly, with concerns in their eyes.

Huang Liji's thin face was not visible, but Zhou Yingqiu, Cui Chengxiu and others frowned.

They had no intersection with King Xin before and did not understand that can the new emperor be the new Wei Zhongxian like Apocalypse? If not, where will they go?

Outsiders have no idea about the changes in the palace, but there are still countless people who are ready to move outside in a state of tension.

The eunuchs are really too arrogant and killing too much. I wonder how many people hate them to the core.

The succession of the new emperor is an opportunity for them!

However, the situation is not clear at the moment, they are just planning and have not taken action yet.

On this day in the capital, countless people looked at the Forbidden City with all kinds of thoughts and waited quietly.

As for what to wait for, few people can explain it clearly.

The people in the Zhou family were not asleep. When the master entered the palace, he was nervous and waiting for trouble.

Zhou Fang, Zhou Dingshi, and Liu Liuzhe were all sitting around the table in Zhou Zheng's room.

Zhou Fang was a little restless and looked at Zhou Zheng: Second brother, do you think Dad will be fine, right?

Zhou Zheng poured him a cup of tea and said: It's okay, what can I do?

Zhou Fang nodded and asked again: Do you think the eunuch party will interfere? There are no Donglin people now. If there is any case of moving the palace, it will be troublesome.

When Guangzong died suddenly, Tianqi was detained by Xi Li and asked to be the queen mother, otherwise Tianqi would not ascend the throne. Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others led people into the palace to force Xi Li to compromise and move to Renshou Palace. Tianqi then successfully ascended the throne.

King Xin is only sixteen years old now, and the palace is Keshi, and Wei Zhongxian's world is beyond the reach of anything.

Zhou Dingshi, Liu Liuzhe and others also knew something, and they also looked at Zhou Zheng with a nervous look on their faces.

Zhou Zheng knew that they were uneasy and said with a smile: It's okay, Guangzong suddenly passed away and there was no time to make arrangements. The late emperor was not, he had arrangements, so don't worry.

Zhou Fang nodded and opened his mouth and said again, Zhou Zheng said: Let's wait.

Zhou Fang looked at Zhou Zheng and was stunned for a moment, as if he had figured out something and stopped talking silently.

Several people sat at the table without any other thoughts, just waiting.

Uncle Fu and others were even more guarding the gate, never leaving their steps, and they didn't dare to close their eyes.

It was not until early the next morning that Zhou Qingli returned to Zhou's mansion, looking tired.

Uncle Fu and others were overjoyed and uneasy, and said: Master, is it okay?

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng, Zhou Fang and others who had already met, and said: Go in and talk.

A group of people followed Zhou Qingli to his study and looked at him with different expressions.

Zhou Qingli knew they were worried and said concisely: It's okay, the new emperor has ascended the throne safely, with the British Duke's escort.

The big stone in everyone's heart finally came to the ground. As long as King Xin can succeed the throne smoothly, other things will not be considered important.

Zhou Qingli seemed a little tired and looked at everyone and said: Let's go and rest, Zhengyun stay.

Zhou Fang hurriedly said: Dad, I will stay too.

Zhou Qingli glanced at him and said: Yes.

Zhou Fang looked surprised and excited.

There were only three fathers and sons left in the study. Zhou Qingli took a sip of tea and said: The new emperor was not in the palace, so he returned to the Tenth Prince's Mansion.

Zhou Zheng's expression was still and he knew it secretly. It would be strange if Zhu Youjian was not careful about Wei Zhongxian.

Zhou Fang said: Dad, can the new emperor control the situation?

The new emperor, Zhu Youjian, was a prince before, and was sixteen years old. Can he stand up against the powerful Wei Zhongxian? If he can't stand up, something big might happen!

Guangzong suddenly died. Fortunately, there was the eldest son of Emperor Tianqi. The new emperor now has no descendants or brothers. If he died suddenly, he could only choose from the royal family.

At that time, I could only find it from Wanli's son. Among Wanli's sons, King Fu is the longest now!

At that time, King Fu was Qingliu Donglin Party who drove out of the capital in the name of "non-legged, not chief", which is the "country between the foundation of the country". If King Fu comes back, how would Qingliu and Donglin who is about to rise up agree? But he would not agree. King Fu is indeed the longest. According to the rule of "there is a legitimate and no legitimate is a legitimate" he is the most qualified person to succeed the throne!
