I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World

Chapter 35 Change

In the eighteenth year of Hongchang.

Times changed.

May 23rd.

Dark clouds covered the moon and all was silent.

A carriage draped in black cloth stopped at the back door of Prince Qin’s Manor.

When the guard on duty saw the old man get out of the car, he did not dare to stop him at all and hurriedly went to the residence to report.

When Prince Qin, Zhao Yuan, heard that Zhang Zhengyang had come late at night, he guessed that something big had happened. He hurriedly invited him to the study room and ordered the guards to send away the servants around him. No one was allowed to approach!

Zhang Zhengyang was alone. The first thing he said after entering the study made Zhao Yuan’s face turn pale.

“His Majesty passed away, four hours ago!” “Ah! Father…” Zhao Yuan exclaimed and stood up. Then, he said dejectedly, “My father even hid the news of his death. He must have made some arrangements.”

“That’s right.” Zhang Zhengyang nodded and said, “The late emperor issued a will and appointed the four of us as ministers to assist the sixth prince in governing the country.”

“Then why are you here?”

Hope flashed in Zhao Yuan’s eyes. The bells of Shangyang Palace had yet to ring, and the news of Emperor Hongchang’s death had yet to spread. Things might turn around.

Zhang Zhengyang said, “Master, I suspect that the Sixth Prince is stubborn by nature and won’t be a good emperor!”

Zhao Yuan nodded slightly and waited quietly for the rest. The so-called not being like a good emperor was just an excuse. There must be other reasons that made Prime Minister Zhang take the risk to disobey the late emperor’s will.

“The other three ministers, one is a eunuch, one is an ignorant woman, and one is a lowly noble!” Zhang Zhengyang said, “How can we let such a person make the decision on an important matter of the country? It was only because of the previous emperor’s diligence that the country was able to prosper. I can’t watch it be destroyed by that child!”

“Minister Zhang is right!”

Zhao Yuan could guess the identities of the other three and admired his father’s arrangements. One of them was Eunuch Wang, the Minister of Internal Affairs, who was in charge of the secret memorial of the Uniformed Guards. The second would be Imperial Consort Sun, the one who gave birth to his sixth brother, where her father and brothers were in charge of the capital camp. The last one would be Duke Cheng, who was over 80 years old and had the highest prestige and seniority among the nobles.
