Zhu Hao still has not confessed to Zhu Si.

Another seed was planted, which made Zhu Si feel that the two of them were born in a pitiable condition. If they had the ability, they could be saved. Next time, they should discuss how to rescue them. During this period, Zhu Hao could already dispatch manpower to prepare in advance.

The next day.

When Zhu Hao got up early in the morning, he found a lot of things that were wrong. The guards in the house came in and out frequently, and everyone looked solemn.

After daylight...

To mourn.

As if in compliance with Zhu Hao's expectations, no matter how energetic Zhu Youqi looked yesterday and how many days he had left to live, Zhu Youqi could not bear the torture of his illness. He may have committed suicide, or he may have really reached the end of his life. , the night passed quietly.

All of a sudden, the palace was filled with silence.

Even Zhu Hao and Jinghong were given filial piety clothes. After putting them on, Tang Yin appeared next to them in plain clothes and said solemnly: "You come with me to pay homage."

Even someone like Jinghong, who has not been involved in this matter recently, knows that there is something wrong with the palace.

The whole palace was in mourning.

Before Tang Yin, Zhu Hao and Jinghong entered the inner courtyard of the palace, they heard that Zhang Yezheng, the local magistrate at the front gate, had come to the palace to express his condolences before he resigned. After hearing the bad news, he came to the palace to express his condolences.

…

…

See Zhu Sishi again.

He knelt down alone in front of his father's tomb, and did not cry. Probably because he had been crying for a long time when his father passed away, and his whole body was a little numb at this time.

There was no sign of Zhu San or Princess Jiang. At this time, all affairs in the palace, including funeral arrangements, would be completed by his heir apparent.

In order to protect Zhu Si's safety, the palace ordered all local people who came to express condolences to be handled by Shi Si, the palace chief represented by Yuan Zonggao, and Zhang Zuo had no part in it.

Seeing Tang Yin coming with Zhu Hao and Jinghong, Zhu Si got up and walked in front of the three of them.

Then he cried "Wow".

It seems that only in front of people close to him, he doesn't have to hide it, and his emotions are more intense and sincere.

Tang Yin comforted Zhu Si, and finally Zhu Si's mood improved. Zhang Zuo hurried over from the door: "Your Majesty... there are a lot of red tapes that you need to deal with. In addition, I have to trouble you to meet the princess... "

Zhang Zuo glanced at Tang Yin with flickering words, and then dragged Zhu Si away.

Jinghong didn't understand what was going on at all.

Tang Yinze grasped some joints, but was not very sure. Only Zhu Hao had a thorough understanding of the current situation in the palace.

"Let's go."

Zhu Hao said, "After paying homage to King Xing, we should go to various places to help him... The next most difficult thing is for the crown prince to complete the succession to the throne as soon as possible."

Tang Yin nodded.

King Xing passed away, and he was about to report his funeral to the court. At most, Zhu Si would take care of the affairs of the palace as the crown prince. If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly. Everything depends on when the court allows him to successfully inherit the throne, or how to let him succeed. inherit……

Zhu Hao said: "Besides, I want to go home."

Tang Yin originally did not intend to agree. It would be inconvenient to enter and exit the palace at this time, but it was okay for Zhu Hao to go home and inform his family.

"You should inform the prince."

Tang Yin means, what you want to do is best to ask Zhu Si for his opinion first. He is now the master of the palace.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "The Crown Prince is not interested in anything other than funeral arrangements right now. Now it is difficult for even Zhang Fengzheng to interfere in the affairs of the palace... Mr. Tang, please be careful."

Tang Yin immediately understood what Zhu Hao meant.

The relatively balanced structure of the palace yesterday collapsed with the death of King Xing, and an undercurrent was brewing and surging. As the nominal chief envoy, Yuan Zonggao would inevitably shoulder all the major and minor affairs in the palace.

, whoever wants to challenge his authority is almost seeking death.

Then the three of them went to the mourning hall, respectfully offered incense and saluted.

…

…

The death of King Xing spread throughout the city in one morning, making it a top priority in Anlu.

News spreads quickly.

Because Prince Xing’s Mansion has gained local reputation and reputation in the past two years, the people are very grateful to Prince Xing’s Mansion. For a time, private mourning halls set up for Prince Xing can be seen everywhere, and white silk fabrics are out of stock for a while...

It was already past noon when Zhu Hao returned home.

Zhu Niang also learned about the death of King Xing, so she asked her servants to hang a white silk ribbon outside her door, and also placed spiritual tablets at home. However, according to the rules, King Xing's name could not be written on them, and could only be addressed as "noble" or something like that.

As a reference, it is used to worship.

"Mom, don't be sad. King Xing's condition is not a day or two. He should be very peaceful when he leaves." Zhu Hao comforted Zhu Niang.

Mother Zhu was kind-hearted and knew that King Xing had great favors for her courtyard, so she pulled Zhu Haofei to go to the token to pay homage, and Zhu Hao did not raise any objection.

When he was in the palace, everything could be kept simple, because no one cared about those clichéd things. But when he returned home, he could deal with the death of King Xing without being disturbed or hindered by external things, and his heart became more pious.

…

…

There will be many days to come.

The palace is shrouded in the shadow of King Xing's death. As the only son of King Xing, Zhu Si needs to stay vigil in front of his soul.

Letting a child face a cold corpse all night, even if it is his own father, will inevitably have a psychological impact on him after one night, so the palace stipulates that Zhu Hao, Jinghong and Lu Bing even studied in the palace.

Yuan Rulin also came and took turns keeping watch with Zhu Si.

Zhu Si kept vigil at night and caught up on sleep during the day, so he naturally had no time to study, so classes at the school were naturally suspended.

At this moment, a piece of gossip secretly spread to Anlu. It was a letter secretly sent by Wang Shouren... informing King Ning that the rebellion was completed. This is to inform Tang Yin that your prediction has come true. You have further information you want to get from Tang Yin.

The meaning of response strategy.

After Tang Yin received Wang Shouren's letter, he immediately consulted with Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao could see that Tang Yin was completely depressed now.

"It turns out that Wang Zhongcheng has high hopes for Mr. Tang and traveled hundreds of miles to ask you for advice. You should be happy."

Zhu Hao said this deliberately.

Tang Yin felt so miserable that he couldn't tell.

Could he say that I am not interested in Prince Ning's death? I just lament that Lou Suzhen, my former good disciple and my confidante who also has a spiritual bond with me, is likely to die in this catastrophe?

And I, as the culprit behind the scenes, contributed to it?

After thinking for a long time, Tang Yin came up with a suggestion that seemed very awkward: "Zhu Hao, why don't you... let's not ask anything about this matter!"

Zhu Haodao: "Sir, why didn't you say this earlier? If you hadn't written to Wang Zhongcheng in advance, Wang Zhongcheng wouldn't have rushed to ask you for advice. Why didn't you want to stay out of the matter at that time?"

Tang Yin sighed: "My idea at that time was to use Wang Boan's power to force King Ning to retreat and rein in the precipice. Who knows... Sigh!"

Zhu Hao thought to himself, otherwise I would say you are an old lover.

While you covet someone else's wife, you also want them to live a good life, which shows how kind and righteous you are. But the problem is that you will never get what you can't get. What's the point of watching helplessly from the sidelines? What's even more terrible is history.

The torrent is rolling forward, and you can't stop it at all.

"Sir, let me ask you, if you had the chance to save Concubine Lou's life, would you take action?" Zhu Hao finally opened his heart and discussed the issue face to face with Tang Yin.

Tang Yin looked reserved: "You...what are you talking about?"

Zhu Hao said: "No need for me to say more, right? King Ning is planning to rebel. Not to mention that Wang Zhongcheng has already predicted it. Even if he is not prepared in advance, does King Ning, who is so stupid and incompetent, have a chance to fight Wang Zhongcheng?"

Tang Yin frowned: "In the past few years that Wang Bo'an has been in Jiangxi, he has turned Jiangxi upside down. Thousands of bandits from all walks of life who have been entrenched in the local area for more than ten or even decades have been wiped out under his command...

…Prince Ning is definitely no match for him.”

Tang Yin was far superior to ordinary people in recognizing and accurately judging Wang Shouren's military ability.

This is just like in history Wang Qiong knew that King Ning was plotting rebellion and said lightly that Wang Shouren was in Jiangxi, so there was no need to worry at all.

Anyone who is familiar with Wang Shouren knows that King Yining and his group of mediocre people are nothing compared to a military wizard like Wang Shouren!

A bunch of rabble actually want to rebel?

Do you really think that the Ming Dynasty’s error correction mechanism for the vassal kings to hold power was just a decoration?

"If Prince Ning is defeated, will Concubine Lou... have any chance of being saved?"

Zhu Hao asked a very heartbreaking question.

Tang Yin almost clutched his chest, feeling distressed.

He almost yelled, "Why do you, you word like a knife, insist on piercing the most vulnerable part of my heart?"

"Zhu Hao, there are some things you should not say..." Tang Yin means, even if it is what you said, you don't need to emphasize it again and again in front of me.

Zhu Hao said: "Sir, let me take you to meet someone... We can sit down and have a good talk."

"Um?"
