Chapter 646: Where is the intention?
A row of girls knelt neatly on the ground, each holding a lacquer tray in their hands, and all kinds of things shimmered dazzlingly in the light of the candles in the room.
Soap yarn cupola crown, black felt straight-brimmed hat, gold iron top eggplant blue coral golden jujube flower hat beads, metal-phase cloud and rhinoceros belt, gold-phase jade wearing flower dragon silk ring, purple thread tasin gold event, ivory top flower target iron knife, silk clothes and yarn clothes, a pair of soap suede leather boots, a pair of colorful embroidered oblique leather boots.
The clothes are all gold and silver thread embroidery, and the ornaments are finely crafted and ingenious. If they saw this on weekdays, a few favored eunuchs would definitely welcome a few words in a playful manner, but at the moment, they all lowered their hands and bowed their heads and did not dare to say a superfluous word. And several officers who were specially called over also looked at each other, and there was no one who said anything. As a result, Zhu Gaoxu, who was on the throne in the middle, gritted his teeth more and more, and his fist clenched.
"That damn fat man!" Zhu Gaoxu scolded viciously, and then waved his hand impatiently, "Send all these things to the warehouse, this clan doesn't want to see these!" Also, the idle people and so on all get down! β
It wasn't until those things left in front of him, and there was not a single idler in the room, that he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then sneered: "He used to be like this, and he used to pretend to be a good person!" When his father was angry with this domain, he came forward to persuade him, but everyone said that he was benevolent, filial and friendly, but this domain was sent to a ghost place like Le'an! Later, the third child almost suffered because of the rebellion of the subordinates, but after he came back, he tried every means to comfort him, but the third child has just been released from the palace now! This time it was still like this, he sent someone to send these Laoshzi things from his father to this domain, why didn't he know to send those treasures of his father! What is his intention? β
"Since everything has been delivered, it is better for Your Highness to keep it for a thought......
"Thoughts? What hell do you think, when Ben Fan sees this, he can really think of the dead Lao Tzu, but he can also think of his rebellion! How did he promise this domain on the battlefield! β
Zhu Gaochu angrily stretched out his hand to smash things, but saw that the throne was empty, and then he remembered that since he learned that Zhu Di had died and Zhu Gaochi had mastered the situation in Beijing, all the things that could be smashed in this room had been smashed, so he had to hammer the red paint handrail beside him: "The position of this prince should have belonged to the domain, and the emperor personally approved the domain, but later listened to the bewitchment of those civil officials." If it weren't for these dogs, it wouldn't be that fat man who ascended the throne now! The stupid guy of the third child, thinking that he would be able to take the lead in persuading him to end well, didn't he know that he would be sent out of the capital soon? β
Mei Qing managed to meet Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, several times when he was in Beijing, and when he saw Zhu Gaoxu angry, he hurriedly got closer and said in a low voice: "King Zhao is alone in Beijing, and the Changshan guards have been strictly monitored because of the previous incident, and almost all the subordinates of the heart and abdomen have withered away. It's just that he has already promised that if Your Highness leads an army into Beijing, he is willing to respond internally. β
"Hmph, he's just counting on Ben Fan and that fat man to fight to the death, he can just sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, how can things in this world be so cheap!" Zhu Gaoxu was disdainful of what Mei Qing said, and after scolding for a while, he turned his head to look at his henchmen and generals, "The edict said that the funeral was just like the old system of Emperor Taizu Gao, and it was nothing more than not allowing the vassal king to enter Beijing, especially not letting the Han king of this domain enter Beijing, what do you say?" β
Although this kind of matter should be discussed with the strategists, Zhu Gaoxu could not trust all the subordinate officials of the Han Dynasty from the long history down, so he would rather ask these military attachΓ©s who were five big and three coarse. As soon as he said this, these warriors began to speak.
"Naturally, we should follow the example of the first emperor and rush directly to Beijing, leaving aside the monarch and ministers, after all, His Royal Highness is the son of the first emperor!"
"That is, Zhu Yunwen kept the emperor out at the beginning, but it made many noble generals lose their hearts!"
"When the first emperor raised an army and was in trouble, every tough battle was followed by Your Highness, who didn't know the nobles! As long as Your Highness is now under the Jingshi City, they don't say anything, they will at least have a choice in their hearts! β
Although there was a commotion at this moment, everyone's meaning was already very clear, and even Mei Qing thought that Zhu Gaoxu was not only going to go this time, but also to accompany Sheng Chen's soldiers. This is naturally exactly in line with Zhu Gaoxu's meaning, and he waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion and began to assign tasks one by one. Just when the room was in high spirits, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, followed by a shrill voice of sincere fear.
"Your Highness, Jingshi has sent someone again."
Hearing that the capital had sent someone over again, Zhu Gaoxu immediately stood up: "You guys will meet with this clan and see what he has to say this time!" Someone came, Sheng Chen's palace honor guard, this domain met in Xuanren Hall! β
Since the news of Zhu Di's death came, Zhu Gaoxu ordered the whole palace to be beheaded, but he wore armor under the decrepit filial piety uniform. At this moment, everyone gathered on the Xuanren Hall, and when they saw that the two columns of armor soldiers outside who were as straight as stakes had been lined up at the main gate of the back garden, they couldn't help but stand straighter. I think that at the beginning, some of those Jing Nan Xun nobles were small officers such as hundreds of households and thousands of households, and some were even just small pawns, but now the princes of the reserve are called honors, all of them have ascended to the sky in one step, as long as they assist Zhu Gaoxu to succeed, they will also be able to be glorious for generations!
Ge Yu, Halberd, My Staff, Ritual Knife, Spotted Sword...... In the past, the prince's honor guard, which was only used for entry and exit, was now placed along the atrium avenue of the Han Palace, which was just majestic and solemn, coupled with the hundreds of palace guards on both sides of the road who were covered with plain clothes, and a killing aura was even more rushing. It's just that Zhang Yue is not the first time to come here, let alone a fledgling little jinshi in the past, but he didn't react to this, and he thought about meeting many people before leaving.
The first Zhang Fu asked him to be prepared, and he was ready to leave the Ministry of War - he didn't want to leave the Ministry of Staff at this time, after all, the matter of spy agents had just begun, but since Hu Qi and others had been arranged, it was his colleague Cui Fanzhi who was transferred to the Department of Staff, and he had to let go. It's just that even though he knew that the coming day would be long, he never expected that he would be transferred to the Ministry of Rites and sent to Le'an.
As soon as he stepped into Xuanren Hall, Zhang Yue immediately put aside those miscellaneous thoughts. At this moment, he could clearly feel the sharp gaze on his body. He offended the king of Zhao Zhu Gaosui in the open, but offended the king of Han Zhu Gaoxu but in the dark - if you don't count the half-dead Zhu Zhanqi, not counting the first to clear the White Lotus Sect - the prince at this time is not like a knife to cut people. It's just that if he makes a slight mistake, the Ming Dynasty's connivance with the imperial family is famous, even if he is an envoy, when the time comes, he will not find someone to reason with him, and no one will reason with him.
Zhu Gaoxu only thought that the person who came was either a lieutenant official or any official of the Ministry of Rites, so he didn't bother to ask who the visitor was, but when he recognized Zhang Yue at this time, he couldn't help frowning, and then raised his head arrogantly: "I didn't expect that I actually sent you this time!" If there is any declaration, you can say it bluntly, even if this clan doesn't want to take it, for Zhang Fu's sake, it won't embarrass you! β
Zhang Yue really didn't know what the scene was like when Emperor Jianwen sent someone to Zhu Di, who was still the king of Yan, in the early years, he only knew that if this scene spread now, after he went back, those old adults who stood and talked without backache would probably spray him to death. Therefore, he quietly took a deep breath, and said with a straight look: "Even so, the lower officials don't need to announce the letter, and now they will retire to His Highness!" The lower officials will inform the emperor that His Royal Highness is unwilling to go to the capital to perform sacrifices......"
Zhu Gaoxu, who was accustomed to arrogance, couldn't help but be furious when he heard Zhang Yue's first words, but when he heard the half that followed, he immediately threw away all those angry energies and stood up all of a sudden. Not only him, but also the military attaches next to him and the royal officials who came specially were all taken aback, and for a while, the hall was quiet.
In the face of many eyes staring at him, Zhang Yue has seen more of this situation now, and he is not stunned at all. Sure enough, Zhu Gaoxu stared at him for a while, and then ordered the eunuch to set up incense cases and so on, and asked some questions about the situation in Beijing. These were calculated by Zhang Yue early before the trip, and at this time, he answered like a stream, and when the appearance of receiving the decree outside was set, he no longer cared whether Zhu Gaoxu was willing to kneel or not, and directly read the holy decree of the emperor's dictation of Yang Shiqi's handwriting. It's just that Zhu Gaoxu didn't let him return it immediately as he expected, but forced him to stay.
I don't know if it was intentional or accidental, Zhang Yue actually lived in the first-class room in the back garden of the Han Wang's Mansion many years ago. Seeing the green curtains embroidered with flowers and birds, the red satin mattress, and the agarwood-colored gold thread embroidered peony face crepe quilt, he only felt that he was back five years ago in a trance. When he found that it was another little eunuch who came to serve, he couldn't help but take a closer look, and finally found that this person had no familiar face, so he smiled self-deprecatingly.
It is said that things are not people, but now I am afraid that things are not people and people, even if no one has ever lived here, the former application tools should have been replaced a long time ago, and it is impossible to keep it forever, and people like Zhu Gaoxu will not have such a meticulous mind.
The little eunuch was an extremely clever person, busy with everything in order, and when the food was delivered, he put it in front of Zhang Yue in the same way, and saw that Zhang Yue was still looking at the back of the kang table and the kang chair, etc., he smiled and said: "The little one has been in the palace for a few years, and I haven't seen this house live in a few times, and I didn't expect that this time the Chitose Lord actually left Xiao Zhang." From the curtain bedding to the furnishings and furniture, they were all patterns set when the prince was still there, and Chitose was never impatient with these, so he has been using them. I heard that Lord Zhang lived here, but do you think it looks familiar? β
Hearing that it was something that Zhu Zhantan had set at the beginning, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be a little curious, so he asked a few words unhurriedly. The little eunuch only does some ordinary chores on weekdays, and he doesn't know any secret things, but he happens to be talkative, at this time, listening to Zhang Yue only ask about some inconsequential trivial matters, he is endless, and at the end he sighed.
"His Royal Highness the Prince is the most kind, but no one up and down does not respect him, but he went early. Alas, earlier everyone watched him improve step by step, but who knew that in the end he would go all at once. As he spoke, he forgot that the person in front of him was instructed by the chief to be careful, and he actually added, "On the night of His Royal Highness's death, I heard that vomiting blood was very serious, and I couldn't say anything I wanted to say, so I asked for a pen and paper to write a word crookedly, and no one could see what it was...... Cough! β
Regarding Zhu Zhantan's early death, Zhang Yue had doubts in his heart. After all, that sick seedling is really a person with too many eyes, and it is impossible to prevent it. Even if he fought with Zhu Zhanqi later, he always felt that there was a lingering shadow behind him. Fortunately, he had Fang Rui taken captive, and he was afraid that the ghost of Zhu Zhantan was finally dissipated on the merchant ship that was now sailing overseas. At this moment, when he heard the urgency, the little eunuch suddenly coughed, and he came to his senses.
The little eunuch really understood his many mouths at once, stopped in a hurry, and quietly slipped outside under the pretext of an excuse, and saw that there was no one, so he was relieved. Fortunately, Zhang Yue didn't ask any more questions, and went to bed early after washing his feet after dinner, and he stayed outside for a while, making sure that the person was indeed asleep, and hurried out of the house, and ordered the two sturdy servants who were called over to serve in the courtyard to watch carefully, and he hurried to report to the chief manager.
It was expected that the people inside were civil officials, and they must not have the ability to come and go, and it was common to fight, but at this time the people fell asleep, and the two servant women gradually chatted, and they avoided the side room because it was cold, and they didn't notice that someone came in quietly.
From the emperor's serious illness to his death, Zhang Yue has hardly slept a single sleep these days, and the room is warm at this time, and he falls asleep as soon as he hits his head on the pillow. However, when he fell asleep, he dreamed again and again, and when he finally felt that someone pushed him to wake up, he only felt hot and dry. Seeing a man in black standing in front of the bed, he was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down.
"It's me!" Tang Sai'er gently pulled down the mask, and seeing that Zhang Yue was not surprised, she couldn't help but sneer, "Being in the Longtan Tiger's Den, you have good skills, and you will fall asleep." β
"You say it's the Longtan Tiger's Den, I'm a scholar who doesn't fall asleep, can I still learn from you like this? Besides, when others are staring at me, it is natural to sleep properly. Zhang Yue saw Tang Sai'er's mocking face, so he smiled slightly, "I have always believed in a truth, no matter what it is, it is the right thing to leave it to an expert who is good at it, otherwise even if there is a doppelganger, I will not be able to keep busy." It's so late, you took such a big risk to come here, what's the important news? β
Although they were once hostile to each other, Tang Sai'er was still returning the favor now, so he just sneered, and then stretched out three fingers, first bent down the first one: "The first thing, the commander of the Shandong Dusi has changed people a few years ago, and Liu Zhong, who helped you suppress the White Lotus Sect before, was transferred to Jiangxi, and now this Du Shuai and the King of Han are very eyebrow-raising." β
As she spoke, she bent her second finger: "The second thing, if King Han wants to go to Jingshi, most of them will take me, and now he points to me to see a doctor, although I won't show off the market, but you go back and remember to let the master stay hidden." β
"In addition, there is a more important matter, I overheard that King Han is preparing to build a spy department similar to Jinyiwei, in addition to listening to the news, there are some other things, maybe there will be assassinations and other secret things. Emperor Lao Tzu naturally can't be assassinated, and others may not know. Xungui has countless generals to protect him, but those civil officials don't. β
