After stepping into the palace, Shi Kefa couldn't help but wonder when he looked at the palace. There were collapsed and broken floor tiles under his feet, and in front of him was a disrepaired palace. The color of the window paper was a little yellow, and the glazed tiles on the palace were incomplete, which seemed even more dilapidated than when he left.

Shi Kefa was in a high position. Although he was excluded by Ma Shiying from the center of power, his ears and ears were not foolish. Before, he had disappeared and said that the emperor deducted the food and salary of the four towns and left a large amount of silver for repairing the palace, but the palace looked like it was repaired.

Gao Hongtu and Lu Daqi were with Shi Kefa. The two of them didn't know what Shi Kefa was thinking, and they had never noticed whether there were any changes in the palace. Gao Hongtu saw Shi Kefa frowned, and guessed in his heart what would happen to Shi Kefa when he met the emperor and what would he do. The three of them were led by eunuchs to the imperial study room and Ji Xian was helped out, followed by the general manager Tian Rong.

Tian Rong was slightly stunned when he looked at the three of them. Tian Rong had never seen Shi Kefa but was already very familiar with Gao Lu and the other two. "Three sirs, wait..."

"Please inform Shi Kefa, please see him!" Shi Kefa ignored Tian Rong and did not see the Wang Bao whom he hated. He felt a little relieved.

Tian Rong looked at Shi Kefa and hurried in to report it. He knew that the emperor often talked about this person, and he felt that it was nothing special when he saw it today.

As soon as I lifted the brush, Tian Rong came in and said that Shi Kefa was about to meet him. I felt that my heartbeat was beating rapidly and thundering a few times. Shi Kefa and Zheng Chenggong are the people I want to see most when I came to this era. Zheng Chenggong had already seen it. In addition to disappointment, I ignited hope again. What kind of person would he be?

"My dear Shi Kefa, I, long live my emperor...!" Shi Kefa and his other two walked into the imperial study room to attend the ceremony.

"Flat!" I looked at Shi Kefa carefully. He was about 40 years old, only 1.7 meters tall, and was thin. He was in his forties. He was in his forties and was very tired, and his face looked a little gray. "Shi Aiqing has worked hard all the way! He went out of Huaiyang to travel to Shandong. He has been running around for several months. I often miss you. I will not leave when I come back this time."

Shi Kefa couldn't help feeling flattered when he heard the emperor's concern. The emperor didn't want to see himself before, but he didn't want to see him at all! "Your Majesty..."

Before Shi Kefa finished speaking, Tian Rong reported that Wang Duo and Wu Da had asked for a meeting. Wang Duo came in and saw Shi Kefa and the other two taking a step ahead of him. He didn't know what they said to the emperor, so he took the opportunity of worship to wink at the emperor.

I looked at Wang Duo’s strangeness and guessed that he might want to see me alone, “Aiqing Shi has just returned to Beijing and hasn’t come home yet to see you! Aiqing Shi will go home and have a good rest first. I will give you a banquet to wash away your dust in the evening. Let’s go back!"

What else Shi Kefa wanted to say? Gao Hongtu pulled his sleeves beside him. Gao Hongtu's idea was that he did not want Shi Kefa to have too much contact with the emperor. Today he wanted to talk to Shi Kefa about the prince, but he really couldn't do it.

Shi Kefa could not do so, so he had to retreat with Gao Hongtu and the others. Shi Kefa thought a lot. Although he had only said a few words to the emperor, he knew that the emperor had indeed changed like what Gao Hongtu and others said! But the change made him feel a little relieved. The emperor's words and behavior just now were very decent and he was not as cruel as before.

Seeing that there was no one around, Gao Hongtu coughed and said, "Xianzhi, can we go and see the prince?" Gao Hongtu said as he winked at Lu Daqi.

Lu Daqi understood it, "Xianzhi, let's see if the prince is true or false. Xianzhi is responsible for verifying the prince's identity as the chief minister!" Although Shi Kefa was excluded by Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa's status was nominally higher than Ma Shiying.

Shi Kefa stopped hearing this, Gao Hongtu and the others told him a lot. Shi Kefa had already made a decision in his treatment of the prince. The late emperor treated him with kindness as much as a mountain. If the identity of the prince is confirmed, then he would have to keep the blood of the late emperor even if he fought to death. Now he could not let the emperor abdicate and let the prince succeed to the throne, but he hoped that the emperor could make the crown prince the crown prince, so that the best of both worlds would be achieved. Of course, the premise of this was the authenticity of the prince, "Then go and have a look!"

"What's the important thing about Wang Aiqing?" I knew that Wang Duo would not be like this, and it was something related to Gao Hongtu and others, otherwise Gao Hongtu and others would not have to avoid it.

"Emperor, Shi Kefa has actually returned to Beijing long ago. As soon as he entered the city, he was picked up by Gao Hongtu and others. All signs indicate that Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu and others have been in contact. I think the people from Donglin Fushe, led by Gao Hongtu and others, are secretly discussing rebellion, and Shi Kefa is also one of them."

Shi Kefa came back and did not see me directly but went to see Gao Hongtu and others, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. "Wang Aiqing said seriously?" Zhang Kai told me about Shi Kefa's attitude when he supported the Lord of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Shi Kefa was not satisfied with Zhu Yousong, and it can be said that he despised Zhu Yousong very much. If this is the case, he would be extremely likely to stand on the side of Gao Hongtu and others, but I do not want Shi Kefa to oppose me. The historical education I received told me that Shi Kefa is a loyal minister and it is not very good to be an opposite to such a person.

"Emperor, after Shi Kefa entered the capital, he did not go home but lived in Gao Hongtu's mansion. Shi Kefa would not deny this, just ask the emperor." Wang Duo admired Shi Kefa's point very much. He would not be able to play with illusions, so he would do whatever he wanted.

I think it is necessary to have a good talk with Shi Kefa. If he insists on standing with Gao Hongtu and others, I have nothing to say, but I really hope he can be in the same trench with me, so if you should work hard, you must fight for it. Moreover, Shi Kefa gave me a good first impression. No matter how Zhang Kai evaluates him, how can such a historical celebrity be worthy of himself if he doesn't win over it!

"Wang Aiqing, I will talk to Shi Kefa for a long time to see his attitude. Shi Kefa is quite virtuous. I don't think he will believe others' words easily." I remember Liu Zongzhou's comments also said that Shi Kefa is loyal and most loyal people have a stubborn spirit in their bones. I believe that Gao Hongtu wants to convince Shi Kefa is not that simple. Looking at Wu Da, I remembered Ji Xian's false oral orders. I have to cover up this matter for Ji Xian, so as not to have a rift when Ji Xian and Wu Da have a future work together.
