Chapter 478: Dilemma

A few days later, the Jin Palace's star building.

Zhu Jixi handed a thin piece of letter to Eunuch Liang, and stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looking out of the window.

Eunuch Liang took the letter with both hands, read it quickly, and couldn't help frowning: "His Royal Highness King Zhao asked us to make a stumbling block for the grandson?" ”

Zhu Jixi nodded and did not speak.

"This is really a bit tricky," the old eunuch said slowly: "The grandson is determined to succeed in this trip, if he fails again, I'm afraid that even if the emperor doesn't blame him, he won't have the face to see people." ”

"yes." Zhu Jixi sighed and said, "Lone also feels very embarrassed. What happened last time had already made his brothers unhappy, and this time he would definitely annoy them completely. ”

"Yes." The old eunuch nodded and said, "But the grandson is the lifeblood of the prince, if we get in the way, I'm afraid the previous efforts will be in vain." ”

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's certain." Zhu Jixi held the railing with both hands and said, "It's really hard to choose." ”

"......" The old eunuch was also silent for a while, as a confidant, he could understand the mood of the master very well, Zhu Jixi was not optimistic about the arrogant King Han, as the person who took the heir, he knew very well that it was really difficult to laugh at the end of the laugh. Before, in order to ascend to the throne, he had to get on the thief ship of the King of Han. But now that he has secured the position of King of Jin, of course he wants to find an opportunity to draw a line with King Han. But it is easy to get on the boat and difficult to get off the ship, on the one hand, he is more worried that the prince will only accept him because of the situation, and once he loses his use value, he will kick himself away. After all, the prince's predicament today is due to the Shanxi Rebellion, and he is the initiator of the Shanxi Rebellion......

This feeling of not being left or right is too bad. The old eunuch said softly: "Can you find a way to stay out of the matter?" ”

"Who made me the king of Jin, how to stay out of it?" Zhu Jixi smiled bitterly and said after a long silence: "It's really not good, I can only act in one scene." ”

"Acting?" The old eunuch was stunned.

"It's not that this king doesn't make a contribution, it's that the grandson is too cunning." Zhu Jixi laughed at himself and said: "For today's plan, it can only be like this." ”

"The prince is going to make a stumbling block, but he is still surprisingly victorious by the grandson, so as to achieve the prestige of the grandson, and the king of Han can't blame the prince?" The old eunuch somewhat understood.

"Not bad." Zhu Jixi spread his hands and said: "It's not that I don't want to do my best, but it's a foot high and a foot high, so what can I do?" ”

"That really hurts the image of the prince." The old eunuch worried.

"That's a tact." Zhu Jixi laughed and said: "Just say that I will become the laughing stock of the world." ”

"That's not ......," said the old eunuch, who hurriedly comforted him.

"......" King Jin shook his head, not wanting to listen to the old eunuch tell a lie, he paced a few steps with his hands and said: "In fact, being regarded as a fool is only good for this king, not to mention that this time it is difficult to understand, look at the long-term, a vassal king like me is still a fool, which is more in line with the wishes of the court." ”

"The prince laughed......" The old eunuch didn't believe it, shook his head and smiled.

"Lone didn't laugh, I was blind before, and I didn't see Mount Tai." King Jin sighed and said: "In the past, I was just thinking about how to become a vassal king, but after I became a prince, I thought about my situation and found that I was actually sitting on the crater. Saying that, his eyes flashed with resentment: "Don't look at the current Yongle Emperor, it is in the name of maintaining the ancestral system and opposing the cutting of the feudal domain that he sat in the Jinluan Palace." Now it's his turn to be the emperor, and he has to turn around and deal with us, the princes of the feudal side. And his wrist and strength are much higher than Zhu Yunwen's, and no one can come to 'Fengtianjing' again...... We, the poor princes, can only obediently listen to him, hand over the guards, give up power, and be raised like pigs in the deep palace in order to save our lives. He smiled miserably and said: "In the first year of Yongle, the three guards of the acting king and his subordinate officials who were also in Shanxi were dismissed; In four years, the three guards and subordinate officials of the king of Qi were dismissed, and then they were deposed as concubines. In six years, the guards and subordinates of the king of the valley were dismissed; In the eighth year, it was the turn of King Min's subordinates and guards to be abolished; Ten years, the King of Liao, who he promised to share the world, also suffered...... Before he knew it, how many of his brothers were left to survive? Not to mention those emotionless nephews, King Qin didn't even save his life! What is the difference between Yongle's actions and Zhu Yunwen? It's just that his means are higher and his patience is better. I only make a move every few years, and every time I have a good reason and a single hit, others can't say anything. ”

"This is even more terrifying......," the old eunuch said in horror: "Before you know it, the kings of the world have all their wings, and they no longer have the capital to rebel." ”

"yes." Zhu Jixi smiled self-deprecatingly: "The older generation doesn't have the courage to resist him, our generation can't get on a horse, can't pull a bow, and is hopeless......" He looked at the old eunuch and said: "You say, what's the use of having a reputation for being wise and martial?" ”

"It's really useless to let the prince say this." The old eunuch said softly: "It's safer to be a peaceful prince." ”

"Humph!" People are like this, they can demean themselves as much as they want, but they can't listen to others looking down on them, Zhu Jixi's heart fluttered when he heard this, and he sneered: "The dragon can soar for nine days, or it can be a hidden dragon in the abyss, and the big husband moves from time to time, shocking the earth!" If there is a chance to appear, why can't you chase the Central Plains? ”

"Ah......" The old eunuch was startled, he didn't know that the king of Jin had such great ambitions!

"Hehe......" Since the words were spoken, Zhu Jixi simply clarified his heart: "Yongle is alive, of course we have no chance, but what if he dies?" The king of Han can be willing to be a courtier for the crown prince! Can the crown prince not take revenge on the King of Han? There is also an extremely insidious King Zhao, even if King Han becomes the emperor, he is still a prince! Why did he work so hard for King Han? It's not your own little calculation! ”

"Hey......" The old eunuch said in horror when he heard this: "Could it be that if you die today, the world will be in chaos again?" ”

"Hmph, the chaos is also his own fault. Who let him blindly suppress the crown prince and protect the king of Han? Zhu Jixi laughed and said: "Although this can make the crown prince not threaten his throne, it has already been a curse for the Ming Dynasty!" What is ****? This kind of only cares about one's own life, regardless of the chaos in the world after death! ”

"So, the prince really can't fall?" The old eunuch tasted it, and was secretly surprised by the viciousness of his prince's eyes.

"No, I can't." Zhu Jixi shook his head and said: "With Yongle's authority today, if you really want to abolish the crown prince, the edict of the class teacher will be abolished when he returns to Beijing, how can he use it to put the subordinate officials of the East Palace in prison, let him study behind closed doors, and send three Qincha to investigate the case?" Saying that, he sneered and said, "It's just to see that ****** is so powerful that it needs to be suppressed!" In fact, a string of monkey dramas is to demonstrate the authority of the emperor, and he has no idea of abolishing the prince at all! ”

"Huh?" The old eunuch suddenly realized: "No wonder the prince will make peace with Wang Xian, it turns out that he has already seen through the prince and will be fine." ”

"Not bad......" Zhu Jixi smiled faintly and said: "Actually, as long as you think about it, if you abolish the prince, you have to abolish the grandson, this is simply a laughing stock for the ages, and you know that the one who wants to be the first emperor of the ages will never do this." ”

"The prince is wise." The old eunuch complimented and said, "Then we really don't need to embarrass the grandson." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Jixi nodded and said, "Go ahead......" and stared at the old eunuch tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Today's conversation is just a feeling, it doesn't mean that this king has any intentions, you are rotten in your stomach, don't think about it again." ”

"The old minister naturally understands." The old eunuch nodded, although he was shocked by the ambition of the prince, but thinking that Zhu Di was more than ten years younger than himself, and the king of Jin was a rebellion, and it had nothing to do with him being a dead old eunuch, so he had nothing to worry about......

The old eunuch was ordered to leave the palace and went to Xingyuan to see Wang Xian.

Wang Xian, by asking him to counsel the rebel plane, was no longer messing around in Xiaojiangnan, but the old eunuch quickly met people.

"What kind of wind blew my father-in-law here?" Wang Xian smiled and invited him to take a seat, and ordered someone to serve tea: "Xia Guan is trying to invite his father-in-law to sit down!" ”

"What do you have to command?" Eunuch Liang wrinkled his face and said with chrysanthemums.

"For the sake of countering the rebellion, the father-in-law should know that His Royal Highness Taisun was ordered to come to Shanxi to quell the rebellion. There is a way that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, and the official is to join the army, and there are some things that he wants to ask the prince for help. Wang Xian lowered his posture and said: "But the prince is in mourning, and it is inconvenient for the lower officials to disturb, so he has to ask his father-in-law to play on his behalf." He was a little embarrassed and said: "It is also the lower officials' own sin, and they have offended the officials in Shanxi too hard, and they are really embarrassed to beg them again, so they can only use the prestige of the prince." And only relying on the 10,000 horses brought by the grandson, the troops are far from enough, and the prince has to ask the prince to send troops to help. ”

"Hehe," the old eunuch said with a smile: "My lord and the prince want to go together, and our family came to see your lord today, for this is also the case." ”

"Oh, that's great." Wang Xian laughed happily: "With the help of the prince, there is nothing to worry about." ”

"Hehe......" The old eunuch laughed dryly and said, "This matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”

"How?" Wang Xian was stunned for a moment and said: "Isn't there still more than 2 million stone military rations in the treasury of Shanxi? A few leaks from between the fingers are enough for us to use for 10,000 people. ”

"Don't worry, sir." The old eunuch said: "The supply of military food is the business of the political secretary, and it is not good for the prince to meddle in local government affairs. Of course, this is not the main thing, but the prince has his difficulties......"

"Oh?" Wang Xian's face moved: "Someone put pressure on the prince?" ”

"Clever!" The old eunuch gave a thumbs up.

"What is the attitude of the prince?" Wang Xian said with a look of displeasure.

"The prince asked our family to come over and discuss with the adults, which is the attitude of the prince." The old eunuch said.

"Of course we won't make it too difficult for the prince," Wang Xian immediately said: "But the prince was ordered to quell the rebellion, so there is no need to say more." There is no room for error. ”

"Yes, it must be the big thing of the grandson." The old eunuch nodded very dryly and said, "And the prince also wants to give the grandson and the lord a generous gift!" ”

"Listen to the lower officials?" Wang Xian said in a deep voice.
