"The Queen Mother has summoned the old ministers. What are your instructions?"

Zhang Zhongyi was asleep at first, but after hearing the Queen Mother's call, he immediately got up and came to the palace in a hurry.

The Queen Mother said with a gloomy face, "Zhang Zhongyi, the Ai family has a task for you."

"Please give me the Queen Mother's orders."

When Zhang Zhongyi heard this voice, he knew something was wrong, and wondered in his heart if something terrible had happened again?

In recent days, His Majesty has been in a coma, which has shocked the government and the public.

Concubine Rong, Wang Zhenxi and other related personnel were all thrown into prison, and everyone was in danger.

At this time, it seems normal for something bad to happen.

"The King of Han has arrived in the capital."

"And camp twenty miles outside the city."

"Go with the Ai family's imperial order and ask him what he wants to do?"

"Why did you lead troops to Beijing privately?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid came to Zhang Zhongyi with the Queen Mother's token and said softly, "Master Zhang, please accept the order."

"Master Zhang?"

Seeing that Zhang Zhongyi didn't respond, the maid called out softly again.

"ah..."

"I accept the order."

Only now did Zhang Zhongyi react.

The Queen Mother's first words shocked him.

His Royal Highness the King of Han actually arrived in the capital?

Still leading an army?

Could it be that His Highness the King of Han came to know about the affairs between his mother-in-law and His Majesty?

But isn’t that too reckless?

Is it a capital offense to lead troops to Beijing without permission from the imperial court?

Seeing Zhang Zhongyi still stunned, Zhang Tianhou said coldly, "Why don't you go quickly?"

"Yes yes yes."

"I will go immediately."

Zhang Zhongyi bowed his head and exited the Cining Palace. The shock in his heart could not calm down for a long time.

About half an hour later, Zhang Zhongyi rode a carriage and arrived outside the King of Han's military camp.

It seemed that Guo Tianyi had already known that the imperial court would send someone. As soon as Zhang Zhongyi arrived at the gate of the camp, soldiers opened the door.

"I, Zhang Zhongyi, see His Highness the King of Han."

In the Chinese army's tent, Zhang Zhongyi saw Guo Tianyi, who was more majestic and murderous than before, and knelt down to salute.

"Master Zhang, no courtesy."

Guo Tianyi raised his hand in the air and signaled.

"Your Highness, I would like to know why your Highness led troops to Beijing privately?" After Zhang Zhongyi stood up, he looked at Guo Tianyi and asked.

In terms of official position, Zhang Zhongyi is on the side of Prime Minister Yan Xiliang.

I also support Guo Tianyi.

But in terms of the overall situation, he is a member of the Queen Mother and a relative of the Zhang family.

Therefore, he was extremely puzzled when Guo Tianyi led his troops to Beijing.

His Highness the King of Han has a bright future, why would he do such a thing?

In addition, Concubine Rong's case has not yet come to light and His Majesty is unconscious. His Royal Highness's arrival in the capital at this time will inevitably make the situation tense.

"Master Zhang."

"I have so much to say that I don't want to say."

"This is the secret edict sent by the Queen Mother to Yuwen Yuanzhen."

"Take a look."

Guo Tianyi handed the imperial edict placed on the desk to Zhang Zhongyi and said calmly.

"this..."

"This, this, this..."

After Zhang Zhongyi read the secret edict, he was shocked and his hand holding the edict trembled slightly unconsciously.

"Absurd, ridiculous..."

When Zhang Zhongyi saw that the Queen Mother wanted to summon the King of Qin to the capital, and asked Yu Wenyuan Zhen to remove Guo Tianyi from military power, and sent someone to send Guo Tianyi to the capital, he knew that the Queen Mother had done something stupid.

Doesn't this strategy directly make the situation tense?

Furthermore, during the previous night banquet at Weiyang Palace, the Queen Mother had the intention of establishing King Qin as the crown prince.

This is something that is not consistent with common sense.

Nowadays, Guo Tianyi has won the hearts of the people and has made great achievements. He is both emotional and rational. According to the ancestral etiquette, Guo Tianyi should inherit the throne.

By doing this, the Queen Mother undoubtedly chilled the heart of His Highness the King of Han.

Moreover, most of the courtiers support His Highness the King of Han.

If the King of Qin is allowed to supervise the country, there will be constant troubles and many ministers will be purged.

More importantly, the Queen Mother's decree did not go through the cabinet.

This is also against the rules.

Even if the emperor issues a decree to decide something, it still depends on whether the ministers agree or not.

If the majority of people disapprove, the emperor cannot do whatever he wants.

Otherwise, a court will be greeted by a monarch and ministers who are not of one mind and have no moral integrity.

It is unreasonable for the Queen Mother to quietly issue such a secret order to Yuwen Yuanzhen.

If you were His Highness the King of Han.

It seems that at this moment, there is no other way but to go to the capital to get to the bottom of the matter.

Furthermore, His Highness the King of Han only set up the general camp outside the city and did not do anything extraordinary.

"Sir Zhang, do you think this king should just surrender and sit back and watch my uncle supervise the country before ascending the throne?" Guo Tianyi patted Zhang Zhongyi on the shoulder and said calmly.

Zhang Zhongyi and Yan Xiliang have also been friends for many years.

Guo Tianyi knew that Zhang Zhongyi was a sensible and capable person.

"Your Highness is right."

"His Royal Highness leads troops to Beijing. There is really no other way."

Zhang Zhongyi cupped his hands towards Guo Tianyi and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured that the Queen Mother's actions are not in compliance with the etiquette and law, and the decree is not in compliance with the rules. I will now summon the Prime Minister, Taiwei, and other officials to the palace to meet the Queen Mother."

During the night banquet at Weiyang Palace, many courtiers opposed the Queen Mother's wishes.

And now, they all see Guo Tianyi's performance.

It is even less possible to support the Queen Mother’s idea.

Of course, all this has a premise, that is, Concubine Rong and others did not murder His Majesty.

"Master Zhang, I know what you are worried about." Guo Tianyi said with a smile, "Whether my mother-in-law has been wronged unjustly or she did it deliberately, I will find out the truth and put the evidence in front of you."

"Your Highness, Sheng Ming!"

Zhang Zhongyi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply to Guo Tianyi.

What he was most worried about was that Guo Tianyi was young and frivolous, and would directly take action if he disagreed.

In that case, even if Guo Tianyi becomes the emperor, he will still be talking about it.

Only by being upright and aboveboard can we establish prestige.

"alright."

"Go ahead."

"I am waiting for your good news."

"Yes, Your Highness, I take my leave."

Zhang Zhongyi originally came to plead guilty, but at this moment he suddenly changed and became a supporter of Guo Tianyi.
