A few people present. I think of them all. This time it will not be so easy to come to the Shu Palace. Whether it's Zhang Fan. or Wang Xilie and others who followed. Zhu Yijun was assassinated. It's no secret for a long time. In the capital, it can be said that almost everyone knows about it. And there's still knowing. Behind this matter, it seems that it is inseparable from the king of Shuduan in front of him.

So. Originally. Everyone thinks. Once here. The most difficult thing. It's how to deal with Zhu Xuanqi. Although the capital is thousands of miles away from Sichuan. But. It has been more than half a year since Zhu Yijun was assassinated. The news is coming here for sure. Even if not. Everyone present. No one believed it. The king of Shu did not arrange his own eyeliner in the capital. At the very least. If there is any big movement in the capital. He knows for sure.

Other words. Now it's certain. The last investigation in the imperial court. There is such news that Zhu Yijun was assassinated by him, and Zhu Xuanqi was making trouble behind his back. It's definitely been passed on. It doesn't matter if he does it or not. Or was it planted by others? Now we meet. If you don't ask at all. On the contrary, it is a little strange.

No. Not that it feels weird. Zhu Xuanqi didn't ask. Zhang Fan can understand this. After all, Zhang Fan knows what kind of story there is. If that's the case. Zhu Xuanqi didn't take the initiative to ask. It also makes sense.

But. For everyone else. is like Wang Xilie, who is only manipulated by others. It's just someone who knows something that others tell them to know. There is a big problem here. Although they also thought it was a bit strange at first. But they don't know the truth. So no conclusions can be made.

And after getting here. If Zhu Xuanqi is clear. As soon as I came up, I asked them about it. It seems normal. But if Zhu Xuanqi doesn't ask. Gives the feeling. It's simply that. It was clear that he did it. Since he did it. Then he naturally had no need to ask.

Other words. Now Zhu Xuanqi has met them. But he didn't say anything. It simply made him think that Zhu Xuanqi did that thing.

Only Zhang Fan knows the reason. Zhu Xuanqi didn't ask. If I asked. It can also be said that he asked knowingly. I just want to deceive others.

And now. Zhu Xuanqi is very calm. It's very calm. Apparently. He wanted to hear what Zhang Fan knew first. And then make a plan. All in all. Zhu Xuanqi. Definitely not an easy opponent to play against.

But. This is for Zhang Fan. Good news, too. When we didn't see each other. Maybe Zhang Fan didn't have too much thought about Zhu Xuanqi himself. The reason why I think he is difficult to deal with. It's all because his identity is a prince. The status is there. And there is also great wealth and power. and there will be many counsellors under him. Able to give him advice. But for Zhu Xuanqi himself. Zhang Fan didn't worry too much. Even. Judging by what happened before. Zhu Xuanqi is also an impulsive person. This kind of person won't be too difficult to deal with.

But now this time we met. Zhang Fan's mind changed. Zhu Xuanqi. Definitely not an easy person to deal with. Very calm. Even for things that are in a hurry to know. He was able to hold his breath too. Let's put it more positively. This is indeed the quality that a successful person should have. But it's the opposite. Advantages of the other party. It has become Zhang Fan's disadvantage. Zhu Xuanqi made Zhang Fan feel. Very, very difficult to deal with.

And. This is just the first encounter. But. Don't say it's the depth of the other party. Zhang Fan didn't even see the slightest thing.

But. Zhang Fan thought so here. Zhu Xuanqi over there. In fact, this is not the kind of thought in my heart. As a matter of fact. In the first half of the year. His son is in the capital. But that's just a coincidence. After that, because there was something in the palace. He wrote the epistle. Let my son come back. But who would have thought about it. Such a letter with no intention at all. On the contrary, he became the most suspicious object of the imperial court to assassinate Zhu Yijun.

And after that. And that's exactly what I said before. He is the king of Shu. As under the reign of the Ming Dynasty today. The most powerful vassal king. How could you not arrange eyeliner in the capital? Although it is not enough to say that anything in the capital can be known in advance. But some of the messages that are delivered among the majority of people. He could still know right away. Of course. The so-called right away. It was already seven or eight days later. But in this day and age. It took seven or eight days to know what was happening in the capital from Sichuan. It's already quite remarkable.

In a word. After he learned that Zhu Yijun was actually assassinated. Just send the letter immediately. Let him carefully investigate this matter in the eyes of the capital. Don't let go of a single clue. And as the news in the court came out one by one. What Zhu Xuanqi knew. It's getting worse and worse for itself.

Zhu Xuanqi at that time. What anger that was. Although he also has some ambitions. But he also understood. For example, even if someone is in turmoil today. But the big picture is solid. It is simply impossible to sit on the throne by any kind of turmoil.

But. If it is said that the royal people really provoked someone to assassinate Zhu Yijun. And if it works. He, the king of Shu, may really be able to seize an opportunity. But in the end, the news was. Zhu Yijun didn't have anything to do at all.

And the last news that came was. Although it is not certain. But this time the assassination incident. Almost all the clues point to him Zhu Xuanqi. He immediately became nervous.

That's right. In today's Ming Dynasty. He, the king of Shu, is the most powerful. But. Precisely because of this. The imperial court has never relaxed its surveillance of him. Longqing will be fine. Although there are also. But it's not very tight. And waited until Zhu Zaiyuan died. Empress Dowager Li came to power. Nothing is the same anymore.

After Empress Dowager Li came to power. I didn't notice him at first. But who told him that he was a little hot and fainted. I actually found a few people. got such a "letter from home". Outcome. Not only did it not bring him any benefit. also made him targeted by the Empress Dowager Li. Arguably. He really regretted it.

And since then. The imperial court also began to spy on him. And. Surveillance is not yet an organization that operates in secret, such as Jinyiwei or Dongchang. Almost all of them are the ones who are in the open. This posture. It made him feel a little out of breath.

Also dragged on for this sake. He cannot develop any forces. As the prince's prestige, there is naturally no problem. But if you want to do something that the emperor is very taboo about vassal kings. Even if it wasn't done. It's just that there are some movements. Then the Shu Wangfu will come for several days in a row. also brought a lot of greetings from the Empress Dowager Li. Of course. A greeting is a greeting. Ask how you've been doing. How's the body? How is it at home. But. This kind of thing. What exactly is behind it? I think everyone can understand it.

So. When he found out. The first thing is not panic. It's about deep thought. Although he sometimes does things very impulsively. But he wasn't a fool. As soon as this incident came out. He thought of it. The news came out of the imperial court. What the hell is it for. Obviously, behind this is completely what the Empress Dowager Li is instructing. Objective. Of course, it was to deal with him Zhu Xuanqi.

Now it is meaningless to think about what kind of person stabbed Zhu Yijun. Zhu Xuanqi's top priority is to find out what Empress Dowager Li's purpose is for letting him out that he is the mastermind behind the scenes. Apparently. It wasn't the intention to kill him. If that's the case. There is no need to say so much confusing stuff. Just let it out. said that he was the mastermind behind it. Then just send troops over.

Although it is a bit ridiculous to do so. But this kind of thing. In the end, it is also an internal matter of the royal family. It has nothing to do with anyone else. No matter how the ministers stopped. If Empress Dowager Li is bent on doing this. It's useless either.

And now. Empress Dowager Li did not do so. That's it. Empress Dowager Li didn't want to do that much. It didn't have to be put to death. Quite possibly. Empress Dowager Li wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. Let him know that he knows how powerful he is. So that he can be a little more restrained in the future.

But. Even so. Zhu Xuanqi also couldn't put his mind at ease. Convergence. How to converge. What exactly will be the consequences. It was he who was dragged to the capital and placed under house arrest. Or is it that he is the king of Shu. All future heirs will be placed under house arrest in the capital. Wait until the previous generation died. In order to come back and inherit the throne, it is not possible.

No. This kind of thing. Zhu Xuanqi would never be willing. He still wants to get away with it. And not just himself. Even his descendants. He didn't want to see them suffer this kind of thing.

But what exactly should be done. Zhu Xuanqi didn't have an idea. He also discussed the matter with his henchmen. But there's still no better way.

Thereupon. This was just when he was so worried. It dragged on for half a year. Until a month and a half ago. He suddenly heard that someone from the capital would come to Sichuan. The purpose has something to do with servants or something.

But. Whatever it may be. Zhu Xuanqi will not simply think that he has nothing to do with this.

But he also thought about it. Maybe he could use it the other way around. Even if it can't be good. At the very least, it is necessary to find out what Empress Dowager Li means.

Now. That's why we have today's meeting. But. Zhu Xuanqi didn't expect it. This young man in his twenties in front of him. But he is not an easy master to deal with. It made him feel. Quite troublesome.
