When King Zhao arrived at the palace, Taisun, Chengguo Gong, Dingguo Gong, Anyuan Marquis, Yangwu Marquis, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and all the scholars had already arrived. Not surprisingly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not appear.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Zhu Di, who was pale, spoke: "The matter in Shandong, I think you must already be clear. My 20,000 elite soldiers, as well as Guo Yi and Wang Xian, all let the White Lotus Sect eat in their stomachs! Saying that, Zhu Di sneered and said: "It seems that I really underestimated the Buddha Mother of Naraush, people really have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, wow!" ”

Seeing that the emperor was angry, all the princes did not dare to speak, so they could only obediently listen to Zhu Di's foul words, and when Zhu Di finished his seizure, Yang Rongcai said softly: "Your Majesty, the plan for today is to quickly select and send elite generals to Shandong to stabilize the situation, and we must not let the poison of the White Lotus Sect affect the neighboring provinces!" ”

This said to Zhu Di's heart, the emperor wants to let Shandong be chaotic and then ruled, but he never wants to see the world in chaos, and Shandong is more than 800 miles away from the capital, once the White Lotus Sect escapes out of Shandong, it will inevitably enter Beijing, and even if the pacification is successful, the emperor's face will be too ugly.

"Then who do you say you want to send this time?" Zhu Di said with a gloomy face: "Guo Yi is my great general, he can't do it, who can I send to do it?" ”

"This ......" The princes didn't dare to say for a while, the recommendation of the general is to be a guarantee, the general is successful, and the recommender is naturally a credit; But if it sinks into the sand and folds, the recommender will be affected!

Seeing that no one dared to respond, King Zhao smiled and said, "Father, why do you have to go far and near? There is a general in Shandong Province, and the son of the minister guarantees that he will be able to level the white lotus in one fell swoop, capture the Buddha's mother, and return his father to a peaceful Shandong! ”

"Oh, which one are you talking about?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, obviously asking knowingly.

"My second brother, His Royal Highness the King of Han!" King Zhao straightened his chest slightly, and said with a straight face: "In terms of ability, qualifications, and loyalty to my father, my second brother is unique, so my sons think that they can be virtuous and not avoid relatives!" ”

"A good person who doesn't shy away from his relatives," an elusive smile appeared on Zhu Di's face, and he looked at everyone noncommittally: "What about the public opinion?" ”

"This ......" Dingguo Duke Xu Zengshou echoed: "The minister thinks that what His Royal Highness King Zhao said is very true!" ”

"Your Majesty! Never! Jin Youzi couldn't help but say loudly: "For more than ten years, the imperial court has been unswervingly weakening the vassal king, which is the national policy of His Majesty!" How can you change course because of a momentary setback?! What's more, His Royal Highness the King of Han still has a criminal record, and it is too dangerous to send the authority to him again! ”

It is said that the scholars speak without revealing it, and they never speak plainly like this. Jin Youzi is risking completely offending the Han king, the Zhao king, and even the vassal kings of the world, but also to make Zhu Di realize the seriousness of the problem and put an end to the possibility of causing trouble!

Jin Youzi was so desperate, Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi naturally followed up with all their might, and the former said with a straight face: "Your Majesty! Although the white lotus is powerful, it is only a delicate disease, and the strong domain is the real hidden danger! Driving the tiger and devouring the wolf is not the strategy of the saints! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Don't make such an example! Otherwise, it will be difficult to keep the disaster of the Eight Kings in chaos! Yang Shiqi also said righteously.

Seeing the three scholars shirtless, Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji naturally couldn't stand idly by, and came out to support.

For a while, the opposition drowned out the voices of King Zhao and Xu Zengshou......

Zhu Di looked at the ministers below, his eyes flickered for a while, and then he sighed faintly: "Then tell me, who else is available?" ”

"Your Majesty, the best candidate is far away in the sky." Yang Shiqi said in a deep voice: "Please ask His Royal Highness the grandson to recruit in person!" Your Highness is wise and martial, and you will succeed immediately! ”

Zhu Zhanji has always had red eyes, and since he came in, he hasn't said a word, only his face is tight. Hearing Yang Shiqi's words, he suddenly came out of the ranks, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Di, clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa Huang!" Grandson, please go to war to avenge my poor brother! As he spoke, His Royal Highness Taisun's eyes turned red again.

"No way!" King Zhao immediately objected: "Who doesn't know, His Royal Highness Taisun relied on that Wang Xian before!" As the commander-in-chief, it is naturally a good thing to know people and make good use of them! But now that Wang Xian is folded in Shandong, what's the use of the grandson going?! "King Zhao can accept the result that King Han can't go out of the mountain for the time being, but he can't accept that Taisun goes to Shandong, let Zhu Zhanji go to Shandong, and King Han will be in big trouble!

King Zhao bowed his hand to Zhu Zhanji, and said with sincerity on his face: "Your Highness, the minister didn't mean to target you!" It is really the prince who is based on cultivating virtue, and His Royal Highness should cherish his feathers! ”

"Grandpa!" Zhu Zhanji finally couldn't help it, tears burst out of his eyes, and he choked up: "You just let me go, if you don't take revenge, my grandson will not be a man!" ”

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji, shook his head slowly, and said, "I can't do without you, you can't go ......"

"Grandpa Huang......" Zhu Zhanji knew that once Zhu Di made up his mind, he would never change it, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness, and he actually cried loudly in the hall!

Huang Wei and Eunuch Yang hurriedly stepped forward, picked up His Royal Highness the Taisun who was out of control, and helped him to the side hall to rest.

The princes couldn't help but be secretly frightened, although they knew that His Royal Highness Taisun and Wang Xian were small and their feelings were extraordinary, but they really didn't expect that His Royal Highness Taisun had such deep feelings for him! I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not eaten any rice since yesterday, and I am afraid it is also because I learned the news of Wang Xian...... The princes couldn't help but be a little maliciously glad, it was good that the surname Wang was dead, otherwise how would everyone mix in the future?

After Zhu Zhanji was helped down, Zhu Di looked at Anyuan Hou Liusheng and said, "Old Liu, let's take a trip......

When the princes heard this, they were shocked again, who is Liu Sheng? Although he is not conspicuous, he is Zhu Di's most trusted hardcore confidant, who has never left the emperor for many years, and at this moment he was sent to Shandong to quell the rebellion, which shows that the situation in Shandong has far exceeded the emperor's tolerance limit!

Liu Sheng responded in a deep voice, and Zhu Di said a little apologetically: "But there are not many soldiers for you, the imperial court is tight, you can only bring 10,000 soldiers and horses from the headquarters, as for the shortage, I have to ask you to find a way in Shandong." ”

"Yes!" Liu Sheng responded in a deep voice, without the slightest bargaining. He knew that the imperial court was going to rebuild the three major halls, and he would have to tighten his belt in the next few years.

"Let's go......" Zhu Di suddenly felt a sense of tiredness welling up in his heart, and slowly waved his hand and said: "Come over tomorrow at noon, eat with me, and then I will have a good time to meet you face-to-face." ”

"Yes!" Liu Sheng should go down and salute with all the princes to retire......

When Zhu Di returned to bed, it was already the fourth watch, Zhu Zhanji had red eyes, and stepped forward to serve him in a wide coat to bed.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Don't toss, sit back and wait for the court." ”

"Grandpa Huang, there is still an hour, let's squint for a while." Zhu Zhanji said softly.

Zhu Di sat down on the easy chair and shook it gently: "I don't feel old enough, if you are sleepy, just stare here for a while." ”

"My grandson is not sleepy, my grandson can't sleep...... Zhu Zhanji's eyes turned red, and he was about to shed tears again. He actually knew about Wang Xian a day earlier than Zhu Di, and the whole person was stunned. From meeting in Suzhou to Li Dai Taostiff in Jiulongkou, the two have been through ups and downs, life and death together over the years, Zhu Zhanji himself didn't realize how heavy Wang Xian's weight was in his heart!

And this pain is also mixed with a deep sense of guilt, Zhu Zhanji doesn't know how many times he asked himself, if he could resolutely win the military power for Wang Xian, would his good brother not have to die like this?

"Don't be like this, my prince can't be a weak person!" Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Zhanji with some dissatisfaction, and his voice became unconsciously stern.

"Yes, Grandpa Huang, it's just, Wang Xian," Zhu Zhanji wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and choked up: "Different ......"

"Hey, it's really different," Zhu Di sighed lightly, he had seen thousands of courtiers in his life, and none of them had left such a deep impression on him as Wang Xian. The emperor let out a long sigh and said, "It's a pity ......."

In the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Prince sat in the Zen room, opposite to the two monks who were kind and strict. The Zen room is lit with fine agarwood, white smoke curls, and the room is filled with a sad atmosphere.

"Lone should let you accompany him to Shandong." Zhu Gaochi's eyes were red, and his face was full of sadness.

"Senior brother stayed with us in Beijing to protect His Highness's safety." Xinci sighed and folded his hands: "Amitabha, this is his fate!" ”

"Yes." Xinyan nodded and said, "Only by surviving this catastrophe can you achieve positive results!" ”

"So, the two masters believe that Zhongde is not dead?" Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up suddenly.

"Convinced!" Xin Xinxin Yan said in unison: "He must still be alive!" ”

"Why?" Zhu Gaochi looked at the two monks expectantly, hoping that they would tell him some inside information.

"Intuition." The heart is kind and said solemnly.

"Uh......" Zhu Gaochi almost didn't lose his breath, and it took a while before he came back to his senses: "Two masters, there is a request." ”

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Please bring the two brothers and sisters to Shandong to pick him up." Zhu Gaochi said: "Please!" ”

"Your Highness and we want to go together," Xinci said: "The poor monk came to bid farewell to His Highness this time," he said with a look at Xinyan and said: "I have discussed with my senior brother, he will take half of his men to continue to guard His Highness in the capital, and I will take the other half to Shandong!" ”

"There is no need to leave so many people in the capital, alone in the East Palace, who else dares to come and stab?!" What Zhu Gaochi meant was to let them take everyone away.

"Your Royal Highness is naturally fine in Beijing, but I'm afraid that the emperor will let you go back to ......Nanjing," Xinyan said slowly: "This is my junior brother's arrangement, and we must do it." ”

Xinci finally couldn't help but sigh and said: "Hey, I really didn't expect that the trip to Shandong would be so dangerous, otherwise I would never let my junior brother go alone......"

"It's useless to talk too much," said in a solemn voice: "You are looking for a needle in a haystack, and you must also get your junior brother back, otherwise don't come back!" ”
