    The imperial cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies are quietly preparing for the funeral of Emperor Hongzhi. They will definitely not dare to dispose of things like soul-calling flags in the Lingtai Dojo. This would violate a major royal taboo.  However, corresponding political and military preparations must be made, such as foreign enemies and internal invasions, etc., and those that need to be prepared must be prepared in advance. The arrangement made by the great scholar Liu Jian is really targeted and far-sighted.

    In terms of funeral preparations, the transition between the old and the new in this dynasty was relatively the simplest and easiest, because Emperor Hongzhi only had one son, and there was no worry about the prince competing for the throne. There were ministers in the court and eunuchs in the inner palace.  There is no question of taking sides at all, because today the royal family only has one team, Zhu Houzhao. No matter where you stand, Zhu Houzhao rules the world, and there is no suspense about the future Ming Emperor.

    The ministers of the Hongzhi Dynasty were probably the first group of happy people to taste the benefits of family planning. Having only one child in the royal family saved them so much trouble.

    The bachelors, civil servants, generals and eunuchs were busy announcing the increase of troops and dispatching generals, and monitoring the actions of the vassal king. Qin Kan and Zhu Houzhao had not slept a wink in the palace for several nights.

    Qin Kan was busy dispersing more than a thousand royal guards throughout the palace. In addition to assisting the four Tengxiang guards in guarding the safety of the palace, more importantly, they were monitoring every move of the eunuchs in the palace. This was a sensitive period. The emperor was critically ill and was about to die.  When the emperor passed away, as the slaves of the Tian family, the eunuchs' even the slightest wandering eyes would arouse the vigilance of the imperial guards, and they would be taken to the imperial prison for careful interrogation.

    Zhu Houzhao didn't know that the entire court was busy for him and preparing for his ascension to the throne. These days, he was in a state of undress and waited on Emperor Hongzhi all day long, changing his clothes, wiping his body and giving him medicine. Emperor Hongzhi's condition naturally no longer improved.  He couldn't hide it anymore. No matter how many times the doctors told him that medicine and stone could not cure the disease, Zhu Houzhao still refused to listen. He believed that as long as he did his best, he would surely move God and bring his father back to life.

    Heaven and God are always worth believing in, right?  Otherwise, every year, the imperial court would worship heaven and gods with great fanfare, build the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, and the Temple of Agriculture. Emperors with outstanding cultural and martial arts would also go to Mount Tai to enshrine themselves. Why would all this happen?  There is always a god who will be moved by Zhu Houzhao's sincerity and filial piety and let his father live a few more years.

    The two of them are busy with their own affairs, so they naturally have many opportunities to meet each other in the palace.  When everyone met again a few days later, they found that each other had two dark circles under their eyes. Qin Kan and Zhu Hou looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

    "Qin Kan, thank you for your hard work. Look at you like this. You haven't slept for a few nights, right?"

    "Your Highness is working even harder. He is tired both physically and mentally."

    Zhu Houzhao smiled bitterly and said: "Come on, let's stop teasing each other. I guess we won't be able to rest in the next two months. If you like any pavilion in the outer palace, you can quickly go in and find a place to close your eyes and take a nap."

    Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and other Eight Tigers have not had a peaceful sleep these days. Seeing that His Majesty is critically ill, the expressions on their faces are getting sadder day by day, but their hearts are getting more and more excited.

    If His Majesty dies, the prince will definitely ascend the throne. The prince's ascension means that their opportunity has come. The East Palace has served the prince for more than ten years. Isn't this the day they have been looking forward to day and night?

    Once the emperor and his courtiers came, the new emperor came to the throne, the ceremonial supervisor, the royal horse supervisor, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Dongchang Liu Jin and Gu Dayong seemed to see the positions of these palace yamen departments in charge of real power waving to them warmly.  From now on, they are no longer the powerless eunuchs of the East Palace. They are the new ministers under the new emperor. A new generation will eventually replace the old ones. Although the new ones are a bit old, they are still young and tender to the court.  .

    Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and other Eight Tigers are also tired these days, but the more tired they are, the more energetic they are. They know very well that now is the critical moment when they raise their knives and forks and prepare to divide the cake. It may only be this once in a lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you will never get it.  Again, so during the days when Zhu Houzhao served Emperor Hongzhi, they almost became Zhu Houzhao's shadow. No matter where the prince went, they would always stand respectfully behind him.

    Hearing that Zhu Houzhao asked Qin Kan to rest with concern, Eight Tigers and Sixteen's eyes were red with envy, and he felt very unhappy. We haven't slept for several days and nights. Why didn't His Highness let us fight?  What about dozing off?  What drug did Qin Kan give to His Highness to make the Crown Prince treat him with such favor and favor

    No matter how jealous they are, the Eight Tigers still have to smile.

    "Your Highness, Qin Qianhu is indeed working hard, but no matter how hard it is, it is not as hard as Your Highness. You haven't slept for several nights, so why not go and rest for a few hours. You look very tired. I feel sorry for you from the bottom of my heart.  There is an old slave and others watching in the Qianqing Palace. The old slave has no talent except for serving people. He has been doing this all his life." Liu Jin persuaded warmly with a smile on his face.

    Zhu Houzhao smiled with satisfaction. Liu Jin's ability to observe people's emotions was really good. In a few wordsQin Kan accompanied Zhu Houzhao to the gate of the East Palace, but he saw a group of sparse and shabby men standing in front of the East Palace. They were wearing dark red Ming Dynasty military uniforms. They looked like they had been pickled in a pickle jar for several days. They were not only wrinkled.  , and exudes an unpleasant smell, each one looks like a scavenger who has been digging for garbage for many years, with all the hardships and vicissitudes engraved on their faces.

    Qin Kan felt compassion and said in a low voice: "It's not easy for these beggars. Your Highness, please reward a few."

    Zhu Houzhao showed sympathy, nodded and said: "Liu Jin, give them a few taels of silver each, and then take them to a charity shop outside the city, where there are people giving porridge and clothes"

    The men looked at each other in astonishment, and a deep and slightly embarrassed voice came from the crowd: "Your Highness, no need, these people are my king's guards" (To be continued.
