"Although it is the intention of this domain to be loyal to the affairs of the country, there are a few mortals who are willing to enter the Storm Pavilion!"

The sudden words made everyone stunned, Zhang Huangyan looked at Zhu Mingzhong in horror, and Lu Liuliang, Luo Lun and others were probably stunned.

Storm Pavilion!

For the Fengbo Pavilion, all Han people are no strangers. Fengbo Pavilion was originally the name of the pavilion in the prison of Lin'an Dali Temple in the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, Gaozong Zhao secretly ordered Qin Hui and his wife to conspire to frame Yue Fei for rebellion, because there was no definite evidence, so he killed a generation of famous generals Yue Fei and his son Yue Yun and his subordinate general Zhang Xian in the Fengbo Pavilion on the famous "trumped-up" charges.

But anyone who has read a book knows what it means to say it. is basically accusing the court of indiscriminately killing Zhongliang, although the court has not done that yet, but what he said is tantamount to telling others that he does not want to be the second Yue Fei.

On the contrary, Zhu Mingzhong, who said this, seemed to have said a word that was not worth mentioning, and picked up a piece of meat from the plate with chopsticks.

"This is roe deer meat, and in this place in the northeast, the roe deer is called a stupid roe deer, and the reason why it is stupid is because if the hunter shoots the roe deer with a gun and misses it, it will run away. Just wait where you are, and the roe deer will come back to see what happened......"

After eating a piece of roe deer meat, Zhu Mingzhong did not set his eyes on Zhang Huangyan, who had a shocked expression, he just half-closed his eyes and tasted the roe deer meat in his mouth. Then he excused himself and continued to sigh.

"Every day, every day...... Wu Mugong wept blood, how sad and indignant? ”

At this time, Zhu Mingzhong seemed extremely calm, he didn't even glance at others, but just said calmly.

"Therefore, this clan will never tie itself up and send itself into the Storm Pavilion."

After saying this, Zhu Mingzhong didn't say anything more, but ate meat quietly there. At this time, it is better to say these words than to hide them. And the reason why he said this was precisely because he wanted to take the opportunity to express his attitude and thoughts. He wanted to tell the whole world what he thought through Zhang Huang's words.

The reason why he wanted to use Zhang Huangyan's mouth to tell the people of the world what he thought was because Zhu Mingzhong knew that Zhang Huangyan was a loyal minister. This is known to everyone in the world, and no one will doubt what comes out of her mouth.

"The king is surprised, the king has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, how can he harm the king today......"

Lu Liuliang took the initiative to explain to the emperor on the side, and Zhang Huangyan hurriedly said.

"The king misunderstood, he will never harm the king today, even if someone wants to harm the king, Zhang will never allow it, and the people of the world will not allow it......"

lest Zhu Mingzhong "misunderstand", Zhang Huangyan said even more urgently.

"If someone wants to harm the king in the court, Zhang will definitely save his life......"

Can your life save the lives of Zhu's family and the Huai Domain?

Although he wanted to open his mouth to refute, in the end, in the face of Zhang Huangyan's uprightness, Zhu Ming said loyally.

"Cangshui's words today, this domain will definitely keep it in mind, please rest assured that this domain has received the grace of the country, and should be loyal to the country, not personal. But this capital ...... This domain will never go, firstly, because Liaodong is inseparable from Zhu today, and secondly, because Zhu is a pity! ”

The so-called "pity" actually means that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is not afraid, and he says that he is greedy for life and afraid of death in front of others. Everyone has times when they are afraid, at least for now, he wants to tell everyone that he doesn't go to the capital because he knows that there are people there who want his name, and as for who it is, the whole world knows.

When the word "pity" came into his ears, Zhang Huangyan just smiled helplessly, he looked at Zhu Mingzhong, and said for a while.

"The king knows that this time the lower officials came here on the orders of the emperor, and now the king is the first assistant, but the king has no intention of entering Beijing, and even ...... Does the king really want to do what he wants? ”

After these two words came out of Zhang Huangyan's mouth, the atmosphere in the entire flower hall suddenly stopped, and all the civil and military officials of the Huaiwang Mansion were angry, and Qian Lei sneered.

"Hmph, then in Zhang Shangshu's opinion, does it have to be the king to give his head to the court to be considered a minister?"

Qian Lei's rhetorical question made the atmosphere even more tense, and Lu Liuliang and others also chose to remain silent, in fact, from the beginning, they did not agree with Dong Weng's trip to the northeast, after all, coming here to lobby King Huai to enter Beijing is basically equivalent to letting King Huai give his head to the emperor. Maybe they can say something "there is no intention to harm Jinshang", but they all know that I am afraid that in the eyes of Jinshang, this King Huai is even more damned than the captive chief Shunzhi!

Who made him ...... Is he the son of the first emperor?

Maybe it's a rumor, maybe it's not, but for the emperor, none of this is important, the important thing is that King Huai is a threat to the court one day. So no matter what, as long as the emperor arrives in the capital, it is impossible to let him go.

For a while, no one spoke, and Zhang Huangyan also chose to be silent. When all this is said, all the lies and falsehoods have no point in going on.

The so-called "saving one's life" may have some meaning before it was said, but now, it's just a joke, because everyone knows that once the emperor decides to kill someone, others can't stop it even if they "save their lives".

"The Jin clan is also willing to protect his life!"

Finally, after a long silence, Zhang Huangyan revealed his only bargaining chip.

"This time, before coming to Shenyang, Xia Guan had repaired a letter to the Jin Domain, and the Jin Domain was willing to protect the safety of the king with his life!"

With a strong vassal as a guarantee, this seems to be safe!

When the time comes, the emperor must always take into account the attitude of the local authorities. If the emperor wants to act recklessly at that time, he must always take into account the ideas of the local government.

But Zhu Mingzhong just shook his head and used a strong domain as a strong domain? The most unreliable thing in the world is to give your life to someone else.

"No? If the imperial court determines that Zhu is not a minister, even if he has a strong vassal as a guarantee, what is the use? ”

After expressing his attitude again, Zhu Mingzhong said to Zhang Huangyan.

"Tonight, please rest in the city inn tonight. Tomorrow morning, this king will send you to Beijing again. ”

Congratulations on sending you to Beijing!

This sentence fell into Zhang Huangyan's ears, making his face change slightly, he knew that today, the two of them may have completely broken up, and all the old friendships and friendships have completely disappeared from this moment.

Of course, he didn't blame Zhu Mingzhong, because he knew that why Mingzhong made such a choice was because he had to protect himself, his family and his subordinates.

"Does the king really want to go his own way?"

Zhang Huangyan asked a little unwillingly.

"It's not going your own way!"

Shaking his head and sighing, Zhu Mingzhong sighed.

"I just want to die for the country...... Cangshui rest assured, this domain is only willing to protect the outside of the border for my Hanmin screen, as the shield of the Ming Dynasty, and the sword of this domain will never be inward! ”

After saying this, Zhu Mingzhong put the chopsticks on the table, took the wine glass in his hand, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he looked at Zhang Huangyan and said.

"This is the oath of this domain!"

After looking at Zhu Mingzhong in surprise, knowing that maybe this was the only promise he could give, Zhang Huangyan sighed.

"Hey...... Tomorrow I will send the king off. ”

There is no need to continue persuasion. And there is no need to persuade to continue. If you persuade it any more. I'm afraid that the last little friendship between the two of them will also disappear.

I felt that the atmosphere was a little dull. Fang Yizhi said on the side.

"The king also wants to do his best to be a landlord, Sima, don't shirk it."

The so-called "landlord" is nothing more than telling Zhang Huangyan that this Liaodong is the land of the Huai Domain, and the King of Huai naturally wants to do his best to do this "friendship of the landlord". Of course, everyone can understand and understand these words, and they didn't expect that the situation would reach this point, and the only thing that relieved them was that at least King Huai had no intention of pointing a sword at the gate.

Hardly anyone would doubt the authenticity of Zhu Mingzhong's promise, because they had come to believe over the years that King Huai would never tell any lies. Since he said it, he will definitely do it.

Seeing that Zhang Huangyan was still about to resign, Zhu Mingzhong continued.

"This clan knew that Shangshu had never been given gifts by others, so he didn't dare to prepare any gifts. There is just one thing, this domain must be sent, presumably Shangshu will not refuse. ”

Zhang Huangyan looked at Zhu Mingzhong and asked with some puzzlement.

"What's that?"

Zhu Mingzhong replied with a smile.

"It's what the capital needs most right now."

Zhang Huangyan hadn't come back to his senses yet, Zhu Mingzhong said,

"Now the food shortage in Beijing, although there is a Zheng family sent to Beijing grain, but although the price of grain has been slightly flattened, but the poor people in Beijing are difficult to continue because of the exhaustion of family resources, the original Jiangbei boats are used to ensure military needs, unable to transport grain and grass for the Chu Domain, a month ago, North Korea handed over 200,000 stone military grain, plus from Jiangbei there are millions of stone grain and grass transported to Liaodong, so the current Liaodong grain and grass can be said to be extremely sufficient. Now the imperial court is about to return to the court, now because the Gui clan is far away from the Beijing division, after entering the Beijing division, you must show favor to the people of Shenjing, the domain is powerless to help the people, the only thing to do is to hand over 200,000 stone military rations to the imperial court, for the people of the capital to be appeased, I don't know if Shang Shu is willing to accept it. ”

When he said this, Zhu Mingzhong still looked loyal to the court, and he was thinking about the court everywhere.

"This ...... This, the next official will accept it, and the next official will accept it. ”

Zhang Huangyan had never accepted other people's gifts so readily, and he was still a little sighing, but his gaze when he looked at Zhu Mingzhong also changed, and now he no longer doubted his intentions.

"The king is so loyal to the king, it is really a shame for my generation, the king can rest assured, even if there is a slight misunderstanding of the king today, it is only a mistake by others, after the official returns to the court, he will definitely explain this matter to the court, and return the king to the innocent ......"

"Innocent ......"

Zhu Mingzhong smiled bitterly.

"I hope so!"

Subsequently, although the dust washing banquet continued, the atmosphere was not as warm as it was at the beginning, nor was it as embarrassing as Fang Cai. But in the end, the atmosphere followed the Chinese people talking about historical allusions. Slowly returning to normal, everyone no longer talked about the ten games, but talked about the history of Liaodong here. Occasionally, heavy people will also talk about poetry books, articles. Of course, at this time, Zhu Mingzhong always laughs and does not speak, he will never do anything like an axe.

In the evening, watching the carriage of Zhang Huangyan and others disappear into the street, Qian Lei said to Zhu Mingzhong.

"The king, it seems that Zhang Cangshui will definitely be able to help the king and others in the court."

Nodding slightly, Zhu Mingzhong was silent for a moment before speaking.

"I have to thank you for that idea, those 200,000 stone grains are indeed more useful than hundreds of thousands of silver!"

If it weren't for Qian Lei's reminder, Zhu Mingzhong would naturally not have thought of the idea of sending food to Zhang Huangyan. This idea can be said to be the finishing touch, and it can dispel many doubts at once.

The king's praise made Qian Lei humble.

"This is what a minister should do!"

Zhu Mingzhong didn't continue, but just silently looked at the distant convoy, everything seemed to be going according to plan, and now Zhang Huangyan's side has been arranged, and there is ...... Come to think of this. His expression changed slightly. There was some sorrow between the eyebrows. And more helplessly, in the end, he smiled bitterly.

At the same moment there was a sudden rush of fast horses, messengers from the telegraph office, who stopped his horse before the line, and then jumped off his horse, handed a telegram to his attendant, and quickly departed.

"King, an urgent telegram from Kaifeng."

Kaifeng?

Zhu Mingzhong's eyebrows raised slightly, and Qian Lei, Fang Yizhi and others also looked at the secret letter in the king's hand in some surprise.

The emergency call from Kaifeng, could it be that something happened there?

Unfolding the telegram, Zhu Mingzhong only glanced at it slightly, his face changed suddenly, and then he handed the letter to Qian Lei expressionlessly, Qian Lei glanced at it, and the sudden change in face instantly became extremely brilliant, and his breathing even became more and more rapid.

"Secret,"

Seeing Fang Yizhi hooking his head and staring at the letter in his hand, Qian Lei said excitedly.

"Kaifeng received news from Xi'an."

After a deliberate pause, Qian Lei looked around, and only said when everyone was even a little impatient.

"The captive chieftain is dying! His son Xuan Ye succeeded to the throne as emperor! ”

The captive chieftain is dying! His son Xuan Ye succeeded to the throne as emperor!

The words like thunder sounded in front of the palace, everyone was stunned, and then there was a burst of jubilation, and some people laughed, and when everyone was overjoyed to learn the good news, Zhu Mingzhong silently commanded to the side.

"Tell Zhang Shangshu the news!"

The good news is to be shared! Let everyone be happy and happy together, but at the same time, Zhu Mingzhong's mood was a little complicated, and he saw the familiar name on the telegram

"Xuanye ......"

Silently chanting the name, Zhu Mingzhong's eyes looked in the other direction, his brows tightened, and his expression became more and more solemn......
