Zhu Gaoxi's forehead was tensed one by one, and it took a while before he turned around through gritted teeth and scolded: "It must be those literati who made ghosts, it must be, otherwise, with that wreck, how can you have the courage to inspect Nanjing?" Hmph, it sounds good to inspect Nanjing, and it is clear that it is to move the capital?

Le'an Prefecture is not far from the capital, under Zhu Gaoxi's careful inquiry, it is not difficult to know the news of the imperial court, just this morning, he heard that the emperor pardoned Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai's descendants, originally, pardoned a few people, he didn't bother to pay attention, but he heard that the emperor sent the crown prince to worship the imperial tomb in Nanjing, and also dredged the canal, so as to prepare for the emperor's southern tour.

This news shocked him, he was not stupid, judging from the recent news, the deep meaning behind the emperor's southern tour was most likely to move the capital to Nanjing.

This made him uneasy, Le'an Prefecture is not far from the capital, but it is far away from Nanjing, once his uncompetitive imperial brother goes to Nanjing, then it is not easy for him to do it, the bigger reason is that the prince is in Nanjing, this is his big trouble, if it were not for Zhu Zhanji, he should be sitting in the Beijing Palace, and it is definitely not the fat man who took his throne somewhere.

Zhu Gaoxi was a little irritable and walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, although he had been here for many years, he dreamed of returning to the capital, seizing the throne, and being a high emperor, but he also knew that there were those literati and Taoism, and it was indeed difficult to fight back to Beijing. Just because he did a few illegal things in Nanjing, he was deprived of his crown and clothes, imprisoned in Xihuamen, and prepared to cut off the throne and demote him to Le'an Prefecture, how did he not know, his father did this, it was nothing more than Le'an was not too far from Beijing, if he did evil again, he could be captured on the same day, so that no big incident would happen, but the hateful father forgot the original promise?

In the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Gaoxi followed Zhu Di to charge into battle, and repeatedly made military exploits, especially in the battle of Baigou River, Zhu Di was about to be captured by Qu Neng, and in a desperate situation, Zhu Gaoxu led thousands of elite horsemen to arrive and kill Qu Neng's father and son. He had saved his father from danger several times, and in the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Di was defeated by the Southern Army at Puzikou, and Zhu Gaoxu led the army to arrive. Zhu Di was overjoyed and said: "I am exhausted, my son should fight bravely again." Then he stroked his back and said, "Work hard!" The son of the world is often sick. Zhu Gaoxu personally led the army to fight and finally repelled the southern army, that is, from this time, Zhu Gaoxi had the heart to compete for the throne.

Thinking of the past, Zhu Gaoxi frowned, although he had been degraded to Le'an, but his father's words back then were not wrong, Zhu Gaochi was frail and sickly since he was a child, not like the king of longevity, it was precisely because he saw this that he felt that he still had a chance.

Now, Zhu Gaochi wants to move the capital to Nanjing, this qiē completely broke his plan, thinking that since he was demoted to Le'an, in order to seize the throne, he successively united with Jin Rong, the commander of Shandong, and distributed swords and arrows and banners in the guard, plundered all the horses in the surrounding counties, set up the five armies in the front and back, and appointed Wang Bin and Zhu Heng as the Taishi, the governor, and the Shangshu.

But if the emperor is in Nanjing, Le'an's advantage will be gone, and Zhu Zhanji is in Nanjing, even if his wretched imperial brother dies, Zhu Zhanji can calmly ascend to the throne, this is what he does not want to see, he has been planning for many years, from his father to his brother, he lost the first time, and he must not lose the second time.

Zhu Gaoxi gritted his teeth fiercely, he has endured it for so many years, he must not fall short, it is time to take action, and he can't let Zhu Gaochi go to Nanjing like this.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door, and then the voice of the guard at the door came: "Lord Wang, the capital has come to the holy decree?" ”

"What, the Holy Decree came?" Zhu Gaoxi's heart skipped a beat, he had just learned that the emperor had the intention to move the capital, so he sent someone to send the holy decree, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Your Highness, don't panic, Your Highness has guarded himself in Le'an over the years, and has never violated the law and discipline, and now the Holy Lord is taking good care of His Highness, maybe it's a good thing?" Henchman Mei Qing said boldly at this time.

Zhu Gaoxi nodded with a deep sigh and said, "What you said is right, is this king too cautious?" After speaking, he waved his hand violently and shouted at the door: "Let them in?" “

Not long after, a guard walked in, held the holy decree in both hands, glanced at Zhu Gaoxi and said, "King Han takes the decree!" ”

Zhu Gaoxi lost a look at everyone, knelt down extremely reluctantly, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The guard glanced at Zhu Gaoxi a few times, and suddenly stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, this is the emperor's secret decree to you, just need the prince to look at it?" ”

"Secret purpose?" Zhu Gaoxi licked his heart, and couldn't guess what the hell his wretched brother was doing.

After receiving the holy decree, he shouted loudly: "Lan Gao, send this adult out?" ”

"Please—?" As soon as Zhu Gaoxi's words fell, a burly guard with a beard on his face walked in outside the mansion, clasped his fist at the guard who was delivering the decree, and shouted loudly.

The herald guard was startled, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Please!" Please! ”

Seeing the two of them walk out of the door of the mansion, Zhu Gaoxi couldn't wait to open the holy decree.

Quickly glanced at it, the expression on his face changed, and then a pair of eyes lit up, and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Okay, good, the dog emperor is so desperate, God help me, God help me?" ”

Fu Yi's henchmen were nervous, but when they saw Zhu Gaoxi like this, the uneasiness in their hearts was put down.

"Your Highness, this will of the imperial court-?" Confidant Mei Qing asked cautiously.

Zhu Gaoxi couldn't stop laughing: "Do you know who personally issued this secret decree? It's the dog emperor, it's the emperor? ”

Everyone felt strange, of course, the holy decree was issued by the emperor, and then it was issued by the cabinet, why was His Royal Highness so happy? “

Zhu Gaoxi laughed for a while, ignored the consternation of everyone, turned around and shouted outside the door: "Quick, quick, bring Master Pan to this king, this king has something important to discuss!" ”

The so-called Master Pan is just a Taoist priest, a native of Wei County, Hebei Province, Ulzhou, who knows a little about scriptures, and later became an instructor, but several times the imperial examination is hopeless, and in a fit of anger, he became a Taoist priest. After studying the hundred volumes of the elixir master Ge Hong's "Jinkui Prescription" and the four volumes of "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", he had some means to practice the elixir.

Not long after, a guard led Pan Daoshi in, Pan Daoshi was dressed in a dark green Taoist robe, his figure was long, his long beard was combed neatly under his chin, and his eyes were warm and bright, so that he had a bit of a crane bone fairy wind.

If there was no one next to him, he sat down on the Taishi chair on the right side of Zhu Gaoxi, and then took the teapot with his hand, filled the cup with tea, and drank a few sips before he glanced at Zhu Gaoxi, and said in an arrogant tone: "What is the matter with the prince looking for the poor road?" “

"Bold? Why did you talk to the prince like this? Zhu Gaoxi's henchman Gao He couldn't help but shout.

Daoist Pan didn't look at Gao He, just raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Gaoxi, and then said coldly: "Who are you, the prince didn't speak to Poor Dao, you are a little guard, dare to be rude!" ”

Gao He was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "You-? ”

The reason why Daoist Pan dared to be so unscrupulous was because he gave Zhu Gaoxi a life early in the morning, saying that he was destined to become the Ninth Five-Year Emperor with a purple microstar in the sky? Zhu Gaoxi originally refused to believe Pan Daoshi's words, but Jin Zhong, who was next to his father, was drunk once and said similar things to him.

"Okay, stop arguing?" Zhu Gaoxi was a little unhappy with Gao He in his heart, and glared at him fiercely, but after all, there were many people here, and if Gao He was in public, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers.

Gao He was startled when he saw Zhu Gaoxi's pale face, and he hurriedly retracted his neck, not daring to say more.

Seeing this qiē Daoist Pan, he was secretly proud in his heart, and said in an arrogant tone: "Is there anything wrong with the prince looking for the poor way?" “

Zhu Gaoxi slowly retracted his gaze, the mood that had just been destroyed by Gao He, after Pan Daoshi asked, he became cheerful, he glanced at the holy decree in his hand, this decree was actually issued by the emperor himself, and he actually asked him to pay tribute to thirty spring pills, what does this mean, he knows it in his heart: "This is a rare good opportunity in a thousand years, he originally meant that after the first failure, how could he wait for three years and five years, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, what kind of body his brother was, he knew better than anyone else, At the beginning, he let his son pay tribute to this elixir, but he had the mentality of giving it a try, and he couldn't imagine that the uncompetitive royal brother was so obsessed, twenty pills, and he ate them clean in less than a few months, which made him so unhappy, this kind of pill, others don't know, he knows, it's just a variety of aphrodisiac herbs, fused together, refined into a strong pill, this pill is harmful to people to eat more, taking this medicine for many years, will greatly damage the body, shorten the life span, his own imperial brother, the body has been weak since childhood, Now that he has been on the throne for only a few months, he has swallowed more than 20 grains, Zhu Gaoxi can imagine what that wretch looks like, thinking of his father passing on the throne to him, a wave of anger slowly rises in Zhu Gaoxi's heart.
