"My father said this, and my son can only make his will clear with death." Facing the emperor's reproach, Zhu Gaochi wept and said: "No matter how wolf-hearted and dog-hearted the son is, it is impossible to harm his own flesh and blood brothers!" ”

"Yes, Grandpa Huang," at this time, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but stand up and speak for his father: "Now the top priority is to quickly order Liu Sheng to send troops to meet the second uncle, don't let him make any mistakes!" ”

"Don't cry here!" King Zhao's eyes were red, and he said with grief and indignation: "It's too late to say anything now, my second brother is probably more auspicious now!" As he spoke, he leaned over and cried bitterly: "Father, the second brother has been killed by them!" That Wang Xian is Hei Qian, and they conspired to kill the second brother! Father, you have to avenge your second brother! ”

In King Zhao's opinion, if he cries, the emperor will be on the verge of dropping the prince. With the excuse of a month's appointment, Zhu Di should be able to make up his mind this time.

"Shut up!" Who knew that Zhu Di shouted at him irritably, which frightened King Zhao.

"You don't know, what kind of kindness do you have?" Zhu Di said coldly: "The second child still doesn't know life and death, if he really can't escape this scene, you can't escape this scene, you can't escape it!" ”

"What my father said, the son can only die...... King Zhao said with a face full of grievances: "I just helped the second brother say a few fair words, is this also wrong?" ”

"You dare to say that you don't know anything about the good things he did?" Zhu Di lifted Wang Xian's book and wanted to throw it to King Zhao, but when his hand was in the air, he stopped abruptly! Zhu Di looked at his two sons coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't talk about your eldest brother, you are all brutes who have lost their conscience and have no father or relatives!" cough cough cough ......"

As soon as Zhu Di was excited, he couldn't help coughing violently, and the coughing sound affected his internal organs, making the emperor dizzy and dizzy, and a bloody smell floated in his mouth. Zhu Di covered his mouth with a yellow handkerchief, Zheng He hurriedly pushed the palace acupoint for the emperor, Zhu Di coughed for a while, and then stabilized.

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!" The princes and ministers hurriedly convinceed in unison.

"Don't worry, I won't be by you!" Zhu Di clutched the handkerchief tightly, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out: "You don't have to beg for death one by one in the pretense of being here!" When the time comes, I will give you rebels to death! ”

The crown prince and King Zhao bowed their heads and didn't dare to say a word.

"Get down!" Zhu Di said these three words with all his might, then closed his eyes and curled up on the recliner to gasp.

The princes and ministers looked at each other, and when they saw the crown prince and the king of Zhao getting up and retreating, they also left the Showa Palace......

In the main hall, only Zheng He was left to accompany the emperor.

Zhu Di rested for a while before he opened his eyes weakly, and Zheng He hurriedly brought ginseng soup.

Zhu Di shook his head slowly and motioned for him to change the tea.

Zhu Di took the tea and rinsed his mouth, but the water spit on the spittoon was pale red.

Zheng He's expression darkened when he saw this, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you coughing up blood again?" ”

"......" Zhu Di nodded slowly, as if he had been drained of the strength in his body: "I don't know if I can survive this winter." ”

"Absolutely!" Zheng He hurriedly comforted the emperor softly: "It is not the first time that the emperor has been sick in winter, and he will be cured as soon as spring begins." ”

"I know that even if I survive this winter, it will be a few years." Zhu Di shook his head dejectedly and sneered: "If I am ten years younger, which of them would dare to argue with me?!" ”

Listening to the emperor's words, Zheng He was also gloomy, indeed, with the emperor getting old and sick, the court situation was no longer as stable as Mount Tai. The minds of the government and the opposition began to be active, and everyone was open to planning for their future......

Zhu Di looked at Zheng He, who was also aging, and laughed at himself: "I am the emperor who is a failure enough, my son doesn't take me seriously, and the courtiers dare to argue with me!" ”

Zheng He didn't know how to answer, so he could only comfort Zhu Di softly: "The emperor has the final say in the Ming Dynasty, who dares to argue with you?" ”

"Hmph......" Zhu Di snorted coldly: "They see that I am old and dying, and they have long stopped taking me seriously." His gaze fell on the song: "I didn't expect the second child to be so mad that he would dare to openly rebel against my army and kill the local officials!" Said hatefully: "It is said that among the three sons, he is the most like me, and I believe it when I say more!" Who knew that he was simply an arrogant fool, where there was a shadow of me! ”

"Your Majesty, you can't just listen to one side." Zheng He said softly.

"There are some things that I have been aware of a long time ago, but I don't want to think the worst of my son, Wang Xian's twists and turns are just confirming my guess." Zhu Di was talking, but he threw the piece into the fire!

The flames devoured the silk cover in a blink of an eye, and Zheng He looked at Zhu Di in surprise, not knowing what to say.

"But that's my son!" Zhu Di's face made the firelight extremely hideous, and he gritted his teeth and said: "They dare not leave him a way out!" ”

"......" Zheng He didn't want to say more, but he had to say: "Your Majesty, the King of Han is just nowhere to be found, and His Royal Highness Jiren has his own ...... of heaven."

"Don't comfort me, if I were them, I would never let the tiger return to the mountain again, and if I didn't die after fighting a snake, I was bitten by a snake." Zhu Di said coldly.

Zheng He couldn't help but ask softly, "What do they mean?" ”

"Prince! Wang Xian! Liu Sheng! Names burst out from between Zhu Di's teeth, and the emperor said murderously: "It's them!" They must have done it! ”

"Your Majesty......" Zheng He persuaded in a trembling voice: "It's a matter of the national body, and you can't jump to conclusions!" We still have to investigate clearly and let the facts speak for themselves! ”

"Hmph, with Wang Xian's ability, what other evidence can I find?!" Although there is no evidence, and he will not find evidence in the future, Zhu Di is sure that there must be ****** who is making trouble here! You can't go wrong! But after the anger, Zhu Di was firmly nailed to the chair by the feeling of powerlessness born from the bottom of his heart, and he could only let that powerlessness spread to every corner of his body.

"So what's next?" Zheng He asked softly.

"Wait." Zhu Di looked at the song that was burned to ashes, and said depressedly: "Since they have sung this big play, there will naturally be an end." Let them sing and see what flowers can be sung. After speaking, Zhu Di looked at Zheng He and said, "Has your sailor been transferred to the north?" ”

"It's already past Yangzhou, and you can get to Denglai in a few days." Zheng He hurriedly replied: "However, I didn't bring enough infantry, let alone cavalry, and I am afraid that the landing operation will not be enough." "Zheng He's fleet originally had elite infantry and cavalry, but they were all transferred by Zhu Di to the front line of the canal to protect the main artery of the imperial court.

"Block the coastal areas of Shandong first, and you can't let them go into the water." Zhu Di also knew that it was difficult for him not to force others, so he slowly ordered: "First cut off the passage of the White Lotus Sect on the water." ”

"Yes." Zheng He nodded and asked, "Shandong, do you need to send another army?" ”

"Hey......" Zhu Di shook his head and laughed at himself: "The emperor is almost hungry." In the past two years, the court has been short of money, and the treasure money has been used as military salaries, and the officers and men in the army have already been boiling against the sky, and I can't take out real money now, so I just beg them not to mutiny, how dare they work them. ”

"That Shandong," Zheng He said with some surprise, "Is the imperial court really powerless?" ”

"It's just temporary...... I have already transferred Zhang Fu back, and Annan's troops will be withdrawn one after another. Zhu Di said with a gloomy face: "Stop the bottomless pit of Annan, and I can send 50,000 soldiers and horses next year, with Zhang Fu in command, to pacify Shandong." ”

"That's good......," Zheng Hexin said, turning over the years, it won't take too long.

"But the premise is that there will be no catastrophe next year, but there is no snow this winter, who knows what it will be like next year?" Who knew that Zhu Di's words changed, and he said dejectedly: "Hey, the sky is not a holiday, the sky is not in time, you can only take one step at a time." ”

"God bless the Ming, God bless my emperor, there may not be a famine in the coming year, and it will get better soon." In the face of such a decadent and powerless emperor, what else could Zheng He say except cheap comfort?

"I hope it......" Zhu Di did not refuse Zheng He's comfort, even if he knew that it was just comfort. The emperor closed his eyes tiredly and said, "I'm tired, I'm really tired......"

There was silence inside and outside the Showa Palace, only the north wind howling wantonly......

As soon as the battle between Liu Sheng and the White Lotus Sect ended, Wang Xian knew about the battle. As a result, it was not surprising that most of the tired and centrifugal White Lotus Sect army was almost immediately defeated, and there was no decent resistance at all, and they scattered and fled under Liu Sheng's fierce attack, which made it completely unimaginable that this army had just defeated the invincible Han Wang Army!

Only Tang Tiande's Qingzhou army was unwilling to give up Qingzhou and stubbornly resisted Liu Sheng's attack.

An Yuanhou is worthy of a generation of famous generals, 20,000 troops under his command repeatedly interspersed, the stubborn Qingzhou army into a sieve, the banner of the Chinese army was taken away by Liu Sheng, Ding Gugang was killed, Tang Tiande himself was wounded by an arrow!

If it weren't for Liu Xin and his subordinates to escape desperately to escape with a bloody road, Tang Tiande's father and son would have been captured by Marquis An Yuan in a battle!

Fortunately, Liu Sheng had distracting thoughts and did not lead his troops to chase and kill, so Liu Xin gathered the remnants of the army, and took the injured and unconscious Tang Tiande to the north to flee for his life.

At that time, Wang Xian was roasting the fire in the cave, and after listening to Dai Hua's report, he said: "Just like others didn't expect King Han to lose so badly, I didn't expect that Tang Tiande would lose his old capital in one battle!" ”

"Fortunately, Marquis An Yuanhou collected his troops in time, otherwise if Tang Tiande and his son died in this scene, I am afraid that the Buddha's mother will not cooperate with us." Dai Hua said happily.

"Mother Buddha...... "Mother Buddha" Wang Xian's eyes appeared with the stunning beauty on the water side, and he sighed lightly: "Anyway, it shouldn't be difficult for her to subdue the White Lotus Sect now." ”

After speaking, Wang Xian stood up, took the big coat and draped it on his body, looked at the sky outside with the wind howling, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go too!" ”

"Yes!"
