Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 510 Different Ways, Same Return
Night falls, Yangxin Hall.

The Empress Dowager Zhang of the Ming Dynasty sat behind the desk, looking at the documents handed over by the six departments one by one, and then stamped them one by one with the seal in her hand that symbolized the supreme power of the world.

Although the six ministries and the cabinet are now controlled by King Wu's lineage, Zhang's reading of the excerpt is just a formality, but even so she must read it.

The process must be followed. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's just say that given the current situation of the emperor's lineage, she must also read this.

Although she clearly knew that the important actions of King Wu's lineage would not be sent to her in the form of official documents, she could still learn about some of the actions of King Wu's lineage through official documents.

He was even able to detect some of the weaknesses, or imperfections, of King Wu's lineage.

Similarly, as the residence of the Empress Dowager of Ming Dynasty, Yangxin Hall has always been a relatively busy but peaceful place.

It is busy because the Empress Dowager Zhang is the current insurance line of the Ming Dynasty. All memorials need to be stamped here with the seal symbolizing the supreme power before they can be issued and executed.

It is said to be peaceful because this is the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, the residence of the Empress Dowager.

Before the Zhang family, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty handled affairs. Not to mention the top model worker, Emperor Taizong Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizong Zhu Di often had to deal with urgent matters in the middle of the night.

But now, the Empress Dowager is a woman after all, and most of the ministers in the court are men, which is not convenient.

However, the Yangxin Hall was not so peaceful tonight.

The candlelight inside the Yangxin Hall was swaying, and the outside of the Yangxin Hall was also illuminated. Everything seemed to be normal.

However, a little reflection suddenly appeared in an inconspicuous corner, which made the guard at the door of Yangxin Hall frown and slowly walked towards it.

"Uh……"

Several low and desperate groans sounded out, one guard after another fell to the ground, and one after another men in black quickly entered the alchemy outside the Yangxin Palace.

Suddenly, a sigh came from the Yangxin Hall.

Mrs. Zhang put down the seal in her hand, closed the box, kept it carefully, and then looked up at the door.

Following Zhang's sigh, many figures suddenly appeared in the Yangxin Hall, shocking the people in black who were surrounding the Yangxin Hall.

However, once you have entered, there is no room to turn back.

Assassinating the royal family has always been a capital crime, and it is a serious crime that affects the nine families, not to mention that they are going to assassinate the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty.

However, as the Empress Dowager and the leader of the disadvantaged emperor's lineage, Zhang's protection was not something that ordinary people could enjoy.

Soon, all the men in black on the alchemy outside the Yangxin Hall were cleared away, but they were never able to enter the Yangxin Hall from the beginning to the end.

But, did the assassination attempt fail like this?
not necessarily.

……

Xiangzhou Mansion, Wu Palace.

As the days got closer, Xiangzhou Mansion became more and more busy, but no matter how busy it was, on this day, things that should be put on the table had to be let go.

Because the fleet from Shuntianfu has arrived.

Samut Prakan Pier.

Zhu Zhanqi had been waiting here early, and Mu Bin and others came with him.

How long has it been since you last seen your father and aunt?Zhu Zhanqi no longer remembers it, but he knows that it must have been at least four years since his family gained control of Shuntian Mansion and even the entire Ming Dynasty. His father was either in Shuntian Mansion or Yingtian Mansion.

However, due to his special childhood experience, Zhu Zhanqi's feelings for his father are not really deep, but more of a feeling of guilt.

After all, he had misunderstood his father for so many years.

Just when Zhu Zhanqi was thinking wildly, the shadow of the fleet appeared in the distance, and people around him began to whisper, which brought Zhu Zhanqi's unrestrained thoughts back.

Looking at the mountains and running dead horses, this sentence actually applies to the sea. The distance you can see is not necessarily very close.

After almost half an hour, the fleet slowly docked, and Zhu Zhanqi took the lead to greet it.

"Father, mother-in-law."

The first ones to come down were Zhu Gaoxu and his wife, and Zhu Zhanqi also greeted them one by one.

Seeing his bastard again after more than four years, Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, but patted his son heavily on the shoulder.

Between father and son, such a small gesture can often be worth a thousand words.

In contrast, Princess Wu seemed a little excited.

"A lot darker, but also a lot stronger." Looking at this child who was not her own, although Princess Wu didn't love him as much as she did Zhu Zhanhe, she was not much different.

"Actually, you are more reassuring than your elder brother. He already has a family and is still running around outside. In comparison, you have been in charge of Xiangzhou Mansion for four years, and you have made great contributions and worked hard. Thank you for your hard work."

"My mother-in-law killed her child. This is what a child should do." Zhu Zhanqi bowed slightly and was very respectful.

In fact, after the non-existent hatred was lifted, Zhu Zhanqi saw many things that he could not see before, including his father's feelings and his aunt who was very tolerant to him.

Princess Wu smiled happily, then stepped aside and stood with her husband.

Following Zhu Gaoxu and his wife off the boat were Zhu Zhanhe and his wife.

"Brother, let me see my nephew quickly."

Compared with meeting his parents, Zhu Zhanqi will be more relaxed when meeting his eldest brother, because the two meet more often, and their relationship is not as respectful as when facing his parents.

"What for?" Zhu Zhanhe rolled his eyes at his brother angrily.

"How rare are you? Why don't you give birth to a child by yourself! Don't play with my son!"

As Zhu Zhanhe finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu and his wife laughed, and then Mu Sheng, who got off the boat, also laughed.

Elders always like to see having children, and they also like to see their descendants giving birth to children.

"Okay, okay, don't be shy." Seeing his younger brother teasing his son, Zhu Zhanhe said angrily.

"We came early. There are still about ten days before your big day. Now that dad and I are here, you can relax. You will have plenty of time to see it later."

"It's a hot day. We just came from Shuntian Mansion. It's almost winter over there. It's cold and hot. Don't let the heat ruin your eldest nephew. Let's go home first."

Zhu Zhanqi's wedding was scheduled for the end of October 25. The King of Wu came early. Today is October 22, and there is still nearly half a month left.

Coming early, first of all, it showed the importance he attached to Zhu Zhanqi's son and wiped out those specious rumors.

The other thing is to give some people enough time.

……

Shuntian Mansion, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After the assassination, Mrs. Zhang continued as usual. She taught her grandson when she needed to teach her, and handled government affairs when she needed to. She had no intention of pursuing anything, as if nothing had happened.

However, everything will always show its traces inadvertently, no matter how well hidden it is.

The Cabinet and the Sixth Ministry soon learned about the assassination of the Empress Dowager, but they did not know it through formal channels, let alone Zhang told them, but they discovered it themselves.

Everything is just because of the mess in the Yangxin Hall today.

The desk that Mrs. Zhang used to handle official business is now in a mess, with all kinds of official documents piled up in a haphazard manner. This is no different from before.

The difference from the past is that there is something extra on the desk today, something that should not be there.

A bloody silk handkerchief.

Soon, several imperial doctors hurriedly entered the Yangxin Hall, and a powerful storm began to brew in the palace.
