Beijing, Xiyuan, Qinzheng Palace.

Zhu Di sat cross-legged on the kang and looked at King Zhao with tears in his eyes.

"Zhantan's child, he grew up watching Erchen grow up, he has always been well-behaved and sensible, and he has the style of a mother." King Zhao wiped a handful of tears and choked up: "This time, in order to protect the people of the domain, he was actually killed by the White Lotus thieves, father, you have to mourn!" ”

'Bang', Zhu Di slapped the kang a few times, and said angrily with a black face: "The White Lotus thief is crazy, and he actually dares to kill my beloved grandson!" I want them to die without a place to bury! ”

As soon as the emperor was angry, Taisun and the others hurriedly knelt down.

After a seizure, Zhu Di asked in a low voice, "How is the second child now?" ”

"Back to my father, my second brother is grief-stricken, and he writes a blood letter to ask for battle, and he can't wait to get on the horse and carry a gun and step through Qingzhou immediately," King Zhao said, looking at a few scholars with a strange expression: "Several, didn't you present the recital of King Han to the emperor?" ”

"Oh, go back to King Zhao." Yang Shiqi replied unhurriedly: "King Han's recital arrived in the cabinet yesterday, but the emperor heard the bad news for the first time yesterday, and his grief was inexplicable, and the ministers had the courage to postpone the submission, so as not to let the emperor be too sad and hurt the dragon's body......"

As soon as the winter came, Zhu Di's body bones were uncomfortable again, and he had been crooked on the kang for a while, and he smiled when he heard the words: "Thank you for the compassion of a few scholars, my body is fine, and I don't need you to make decisions for me for the time being." ”

"The ministers are guilty, please punish the emperor severely......" Yang Shiqi took out the recital of the King of Han from his sleeve and held it high above his head.

"Humph!" Zhu Di did not pursue it further, there are more than 10 million pieces of music presented every day, Zhu Di is old, and his energy is seriously lacking, so he has already said that unless there is urgent military affairs, the chapter will be opened and read by the cabinet first, and then delivered according to the priority. So the cabinet is doing this, at least on the surface, not a big problem. As for what idea they have in their hearts, Zhu Di can only knock and knock, and he will not be dismissed and replaced at every turn, as he did in previous years.

After all, it is becoming more and more difficult to ......find a courtier like Eryang Yijin who is diligent and talented, and can be deeply cared for.

Zhu Di took the Han King's recital, opened it and looked at it, it was shocking, it was all written in blood, and there were tears on it, full of grief and indignation came out of the paper, and the emperor couldn't help but feel sad. How to say it, losing a child in middle age is also a painful thing, even if between the lines, there are some resentful words and covetousness, Zhu Di will not pursue it.

The pins in the palace of diligence could be heard, and everyone quietly waited for the emperor to finish reading the recital.

"Hey......" Zhu Di slowly closed the chapter and sighed: "The second child is blaming me, why did he delay his appointment again and again, which would lead to this tragedy." ”

"Father's words are wrong." King Zhao immediately answered: "At the beginning, my father and emperor had already prepared a will to appoint the second brother as the governor of Shandong!" It was the eldest brother who desperately obstructed it, so it dragged on for a month......"

In this situation, King Zhao pointed the finger at the prince, and Zhu Zhanji and others were speechless......

"Humph!" Zhu Di really lowered his face, looked at Zhao Xuan, the secretary of the military department, and said: "Now that half a month has passed, what has happened to the battle situation in Shandong?" ”

Zhao Xuan is a person on King Zhao's line, and when he heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and replied: "Your Majesty, for half a month, the White Lotus Sect army has been attacking the territory of the King of Han, because there is no will, the King of Han can only passively defend, barely taking care of the people in the city, as for the people outside the city, they can only watch them being poisoned by the White Lotus Sect. ”

"If it weren't for the protection of the people outside the city, Zhantan wouldn't have been killed!" King Zhao relied on the fact that no one could refute him, and openly opened his mouth.

"Humph!" Zhu Di snorted angrily again, and his anger gradually surged: "What about Liu Sheng? What has he done in the past half a month? ”

"Marquis of Anyuan...... Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, and replied softly: "Keep moving!" ”

With a loud 'snap', Zhu Di smashed a few tea cups with one palm, and finally got up and said: "Could it be that the two of them wear a pair of pants, and even the White Lotus Sect is the wolf dog raised by His Highness to bite his opponent?!" ”

Although Zhu Di did not directly name names, everyone present could easily take a seat. A subtle smile hung on the corner of King Zhao's mouth.

"Grandpa!" Zhu Zhanji finally couldn't be silent, and said stubbornly: "The White Lotus Sect is indignant to the gods, and my father has long hated him, how can he have the slightest connection with them?!" ”

"Then why didn't they let Liu Sheng fight and beat your second uncle?!" Now that Zhu Zhanji has made it clear, Zhu Di has also made it clear: "You give me a reason?!" ”

"This ......" Although Zhu Zhanji knew it in his heart, he couldn't say some words, so he could only bow his head and say: "The White Lotus Demon Man acts strangely, and he has always done whatever he wants, and there is no reason to speak of it. ”

"It's almost the same as coaxing the child with the grandson's words." Zhu Gaosui sneered and said, "Since the White Lotus Sect started the incident, step by step, how meticulous is it? Why did you get up as you like at the critical moment?! ”

"That's it!" Zhu Di saw that his children and grandchildren were about to bite again, he couldn't help but be bored for a while, and waved his hand categorically: "Send a decree to Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, and order him to immediately lead the army to support the King of Han!" If there is a delay, bring your head to me! ”

"Grandpa Huang, what about the January appointment?" Zhu Zhanji asked stubbornly.

"I just promised the prince that within a month, I would not appoint the king of Han as the governor of Shandong, but I didn't promise him, and I wouldn't save him when I died." Zhu Di said coldly: "So, the one-month agreement is still valid." ”

"This ......" Zhu Zhanji was a little dumbfounded, when it came to playing scoundrels, the current emperor is at the level of the grandfather.

"Father is wise!" Zhu Gaosui was overjoyed, and hit the railway while it was hot: "Please ask my father to make another will, and allow the King of Han to attack the White Lotus Sect and avenge my nephew's death!" ”

"Don't get an inch......" Zhu Di glanced at King Zhao coldly, and then saw through his internal organs and said: "Isn't there no will of me, is the second child still idle?!" ”

"This ......" Zhu Gaosui suddenly saw that Zhao Ying, the eunuch of Dongchang, who had disappeared for many days, was quietly standing in the corner of the main hall. The white smoke in the incense burner almost blocked the figure of the old eunuch, and no one would notice his existence if they didn't look carefully.

Zhu Gaosui understood when he ascended that his father had more or less understood the actions of King Han, and he didn't dare to say another word when he ascended, so he bowed his head obediently and said, "Erchen knows." ”

"Stand down!" Zhu Di waved his hand irritably and drove everyone out of the hall.

When he walked out of the palace gate, Zhu Gaosui's relaxed expression was in stark contrast to the gloomy face of His Royal Highness Taisun......

After everyone retreated, Zhao Ying quietly came to the emperor's side and bowed down.

Zhu Di helped the kang and wanted to get up, but the joints of his whole body were extremely sore, and the pair of arms that fought the lion and the tiger on weekdays couldn't support his body!

Zhao Ying hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and gently supported the emperor's elbows.

Only then did Zhu Di slowly stand up, and said with a gloomy expression: "I am sick of old bones like this, and those evil obstacles are patronizing and biting each other, and none of them notice!" Long live Your Majesty, in fact, I wish I had swallowed my breath quickly! ”

The more Zhu Di spoke, the more angry he became, he was so angry that he coughed violently, Zhao Ying hurriedly stretched out his hand to stroke the emperor's back, and softly persuaded the emperor: "The emperor is angry, the dragon body is important." ”

"Don't worry, I won't be able to die for a while." Zhu Di's face was gray, but he still said stubbornly: "I will patrol the border next year!" ”

"Yes, yes, the emperor must be even more good at giving birth to a good life, so that he will be able to be fierce in the spring of next year!" Zhao Ying replied softly.

"How's that going with what I've asked you to check?" Zhu Di's mood calmed down, and then he asked Zhao Yingdao. Zhu Di's understanding of Shandong is much deeper than the ministers thought. He already knew that King Han and the White Lotus Sect had always had a leg, and he could also understand why King Han would support the White Lotus Sect. If you don't understand this, even if the prince gambles with his life, it is impossible for the emperor to take back his life!

Therefore, Zhu Di is very puzzled by the current situation in Shandong, why was the King of Han beaten to death by the White Lotus Sect? Could it be that the bitter meat can't be calculated? But no matter how bitter the bitter trick is, he can't catch up with his own son...... Zhu Di looked sideways and vertically, and felt that someone was making trouble inside, if this person was the prince, it would be terrible, Zhu Di would definitely fight to shake the society, and he would be immediately deposed and imprisoned!

"Your Majesty, the old slave just got an amazing news...... Zhao Ying helped Zhu Di to pace in the hall, and said slowly: "It's about Wang Xian's whereabouts." ”

"Wang Xian!" A lightning bolt crossed Zhu Di's mind, and he said in his heart how he forgot him! If this guy is the devil's thing, then everything can be explained!

"Yes, it is said that he has now changed his face and has become the military advisor of the White Lotus Sect, named Hei Qian, who is deeply trusted by Tang Tiande, and the strategy of fighting the King of Han first and then attacking Liu Sheng was formulated by him." Zhao Ying said slowly.

Although "this ......" is not much different from the speculation, Zhu Di still said in disbelief: "It's too unbelievable, where did this news come from?" ”

"King Han there." Zhao Ying said softly: "Because it was unconfirmed, the old slave didn't report it immediately......"

"Regardless of whether Wang Xian is Hei Jian or not, there must be someone here who is making trouble!" Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and he said firmly: "It seems that he wants to help his master get rid of the King of Han in Shandong!" Saying that, the emperor said a little sourly: "With such a courtier, the boss is really a blessing in his previous life......"

Zhao Ying also wanted to say that having a courtier like me is also a blessing from the emperor. Of course, I can only think about this in my heart, and I dare not say it.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"Since the two sides have put up a good posture, if they want to fight in Shandong, can I still stop it?" Zhu Di snorted coldly and said, "Let them fight, I will watch the play first." ”

"We don't do anything?" Zhao Ying asked softly.

"I watch the play, you have something to do." Zhu Di said in a low voice: "You go to Shandong ......"

The emperor's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was almost a whisper, only Zhao Ying heard the emperor's words, nodded, and said softly: "The emperor can rest assured, the old slave knows what to do." ”
