Wang Chengen didn't say much, but he would still mutter some things in private. For example, there was a big difference between Zhu Yunxuan and Zhu Yuntong. The Crown Prince clearly cared more for his younger brother, while he cared for his half-brother, but not as attentively.
That's right. Since Madam Lü is still alive, there's no need for her elder brother, Zhu Xiong Ying, to worry about her. Madam Lü can take good care of her children.
Zhu Xiong Ying really needed a good rest. He also needed to get up early, mainly because there were still many things to handle in the court. He couldn't just ignore everything during this period.
Lan Yu and Chang Mao were much smarter at this point. Ren Hengtai, Zhuo Jing, and the others also knew that their previous performance had not been good. They needed to continue to work hard and complete the tasks assigned by the Crown Prince. These things could not be allowed to go wrong again.
Speaking of the impeachment of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, although only a day has passed, it has caused quite a stir and attracted the attention of countless people in and out of the court. The next two days should be the time when the wind will become clear.
Some people were thinking of seizing this opportunity to completely overthrow the fearsome Embroidered Uniform Guard in one fell swoop. Others felt that it was necessary to continue to observe and not to take the lead at this time, otherwise they might encounter the Embroidered Uniform Guard's fierce retaliation.
At this time, there are naturally some people who are trying to struggle, whether they are Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) or have a close relationship with Jinyiwei and have been caught red-handed. They all need to struggle at this time, because they cannot let Jinyiwei fall like this or be wiped out.
The emperor's opinion is of utmost importance, and the attitude of the crown prince is something many people are speculating about, making this matter quite interesting.
Zhuo Jing is a key figure in the Crown Prince's inner circle, and it's quite interesting that he took the initiative to intervene in this matter. Ren Hengtai has also expressed his stance, which might indicate that he's trying to get closer to the Crown Prince.
But something's not right. Lan Yu and Chang Mao seem to be strongly opposed to this. The civil and military officials are well aware of their status and position; they are among the Crown Prince's closest confidants. Their vehement opposition might very well be at the Crown Prince's behest.
As for the fact that the Crown Prince summoned many people yesterday, that's no secret. However, it's hard to say what the Crown Prince's true intentions are. Most importantly, His Majesty the Emperor has not yet expressed his stance, nor has he given any signal, which has only increased the confusion among many.
Zhu Xiong Ying didn't care what these people were thinking. He simply stood quietly at the head of the procession and led the civil and military officials into the Fengtian Hall to begin the court session after the whip cracked.
"It's all or nothing." After the morning court session began, it immediately entered a heated phase. The issue of the Embroidered Uniform Guard became serious at this time, and it seemed that some people were more prepared.
"Your Majesty, throughout history, although there have been similar institutions, none have had such powerful duties as the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
"Your Majesty, the Embroidered Uniform Guard has fabricated numerous charges against us, including perverting justice, framing officials, and harming politics. The Hu case alone has implicated and resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 people, many of which are far-fetched and far-reaching!"
The Embroidered Uniform Guard seems to have incurred the wrath of both the people and the government. At this time, many people seem to want to completely destroy the Embroidered Uniform Guard and never give them another chance to be reinstated. The civil and military officials also hope to have a more relaxed working environment.
However, they are likely destined to be disappointed, because the current attempt to crack down on the Embroidered Uniform Guard is only because it wields too much power and is becoming too influential to control. Old Zhu (Zhu Bajie) will not completely abandon this organization, nor will Young Zhu (Zhu Yuanzhang) truly disregard such a secret service agency.
This crackdown on the Embroidered Uniform Guard is probably to facilitate Zhu Yuanzhang's succession. It's just a temporary hibernation for the Embroidered Uniform Guard; it doesn't mean they will disappear from the historical stage.
Old Zhu seemed to be listening quietly, but his expression was not very good. It was unclear whether he was angry because of the actions of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, or because he was annoyed by the fact that all the civil and military officials in the court were so arrogant.
As for Xiao Zhu, he is just listening quietly for now, and there is no need for him to rush to express his opinion or get involved.
