Chapter 1097: Time is running out

Zhu Di's four wills quickly reversed the chaotic situation.

At the end of February, the crown prince arrived in Nanjing. Earlier, the grandson also returned to Xuanfu from Hetao, and he immediately wrote to the emperor, explaining that he was chased and killed by Arutai for half a month, but fortunately Borzigit responded and escaped with his life. But after reading the book, after waiting for a month, no will came, and the grandson knew that there was no hope of returning to Beijing, so he had to continue to embark on the long road of patrolling the border......

There is no doubt that Zhu Zhanji's mood is extremely gloomy, he was really not cooperating with Wang Xian when he was attacked before, but he was indeed ambushed by the Alutai Department - the only thing to hide is that he was not patrolling the border at that time, but in order to relieve the Yu pawn who was sent out of the capital by the emperor, he brought 100 guards to hunt on the grassland!

Who knows why it was so inch, and he actually encountered the loss of Nirvana by Arutai's son...... In recent years, as the emperor has aged and the attacks on the Mongol tribes have not been so frequent, Arutai has revived, and began to secretly send his son to lead thousands of cavalry to plunder the border villages and towns.

I don't know where I got the news, but I learned that the grandson of the Ming Dynasty only brought a few men and horses to hunt in the depths of the grassland. If Zhu Zhanji can be captured, it will be more cost-effective than plundering hundreds of villages and towns.

When the Mongolian cavalry of the brigade appeared in the sight of His Royal Highness Taisun, Zhu Zhanji reacted fairly quickly and immediately led the crowd to flee, so that he was not caught red-handed. However, the opponent was outnumbered and blocked the passage back to Xuanfu, and Zhu Zhanji could only flee to the depths of the grassland in embarrassment, hiding in Tibet for half a month, unable to get rid of the pursuers. Until he met the Borzigit Ministry who came to the rescue......

Escorted back to Xuanfu by the Borzigit Ministry, Taisun realized that so many things had happened during his absence...... What's worse is that the emperor suspected that he cooperated with Wang Xian to force the palace, so that His Royal Highness the Taisun was speechless. After all, what a coincidence...... Even His Royal Highness Taisun didn't believe it was a coincidence, he suspected that someone was making trouble and using himself to protect himself.

It's just that this is not the time to verify, His Royal Highness Taisun can only put away his full of doubts and continue to go west, getting farther and farther away from the capital .......

Zhu Zhanji didn't know that his connection with the emperor had been completely cut off by King Zhao. Zhu Di didn't see the letter he wrote to the emperor at all, and Zhu Di didn't even know that he was out of danger......

West Garden, Sleeping Palace.

Zhu Di was sentenced by the Golden Court to be pulled back from the Ghost Gate, but half of his body was completely paralyzed by a stroke, and he has been lying in bed for a month, his head is also sober and confused, and his will is often contradictory. For example, today it is said that a certain official will be promoted, but tomorrow it will be necessary to let people put the same official in prison. In this case, King Zhao became the emperor's spokesperson, he had the option to convey the emperor's will, according to his own mind, to interpret the emperor's ambiguous words, and easily grasped the supreme power that no one could touch before!

If it weren't for Zheng He's constant stay by the emperor's side, King Zhao could even decide Zhu Di's life and death......

In this regard, the three scholars were worried, but the king of Zhao did not allow them to see him on the grounds that the emperor was recuperating from illness and it was no longer suitable to work on state affairs. The three of them had to turn to Wang Guifei for help, and they waited outside the emperor's bedroom for two hours that day, and finally waited for Wang Guifei's car to come out of it.

"Mother, please stay." Jin Youzi hurriedly spoke up to attract the attention of Wang Guifei.

Wang Guifei was sitting in the car absentmindedly, and when she heard someone calling herself, she lifted the curtain and looked at it, and said softly: "It turned out to be three scholars, I don't know what to do?" She knew that the emperor had always relied on the three of them, so she ordered the eunuch to get off the sedan chair.

"Thank you Niangniang for your time," Jin Youzi said respectfully: "I have something important to ask for something related to the society." Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong also bowed.

"Please." Wang Guifei nodded, although she was a concubine, Zhu Di had always refused to correct her, and she did not have much status in the eyes of the princes and ministers. Seeing the three scholars so respectful at this moment made Wang Guifei's vanity satisfied a lot. I even forgot to say things like 'do what you can do, and do what you can't do'.

"Please allow me to wait for the saint." Yang Shiqi said in a deep voice.

"This ......" Wang Guifei was embarrassed: "The emperor is sick, what can't be delayed......"

"!" Jin Youzi couldn't help but said in a rough voice: "It's been a month since the emperor woke up, didn't he ever mention that he wanted to see us?" ”

"This ......" Wang Guifei's expression became more and more embarrassed, spitting and flickering.

"Niangniang," Yang Rong persuaded in a deep voice: "As the emperor's assistant, the ministers should have faced the saint in the morning and dusk, and uploaded and distributed, so as to ensure the emperor's control over national affairs and prevent the artifact from being coveted by careerists." This is an iron rule set by the emperor himself, and it must not be destroyed, once it is destroyed, there is a danger of stealing the country! ”

"Isn't there King Zhao uploading and distributing for you?" Wang Guifei whispered.

"King Zhao is not the crown prince, nor is he the grandson, now the prince and grandson are not in Beijing, and the emperor does not see the ministers, the government and the opposition have long been shaken, and the rumors and rumors can't bear to hear about it!" Yang Shiqi sighed and said.

"What did they say?" Wang Guifei asked with a pale face.

"said that the emperor's illness may be more auspicious than lucky; said that King Zhao deliberately blocked the contact between the emperor and the courtiers, and had the ambition of coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven; said that the crown prince and grandson could not return to Beijing, and it was King Zhao who was making a hindrance......" Yang Rong said slowly.

"Ahh Wang Guifei was frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "So serious? ”

"Yes. In the long run, rumors will become the source of trouble. Yang Rong said in a deep voice: "But it is very simple to eliminate rumors, as long as the emperor receives the ministers, let the people of the world know that the holy bow is worry-free, and the source can be cleared!" ”

"Actually, you can't blame King Zhao......" Wang Guifei bit her lip and made a lot of determination before whispering: "It's the emperor who thinks he is unsightly and doesn't want to see the minister......"

"Naturally, we will never divulge the details of the face saint." Yang Rong and the others hurriedly dispelled Wang Guifei's doubts and said: "And there is no need for the concubine to persuade the emperor to do anything, just explain the rumors from the outside world to the emperor, and the emperor has his own decision!" ”

"That's ......" Wang Guifei felt a lot more at ease, nodded and said: "The palace will find an opportunity to talk to the emperor......"

"Please be sure to do it as soon as possible!" Jin Youzi grabbed the sedan pole and said in a deep voice.

"This palace knows......" Wang Guifei nodded, seeing that the three of them were still looking at her, knowing that they would not give an accurate answer. I had to sigh and say, "Within three days, the palace will find an opportunity to talk to the emperor." ”

Only then did the three of them bow down and salute: "The Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji is all tied to Niangniang's body, and Niangniang's jade is the merit of Sheji, and it will go down in history!" ”

"Hey......" Wang Guifei's heart was hot when she heard this, and she nodded: "You wait for the good news from this palace." After speaking, he lowered the sedan curtain.

"Congratulations to the mother." The three scholars stepped aside and watched Wang Guifei go away.

When Wang Guifei's palanquin walked away, Yang Rong suddenly asked, "Can you count on this woman to help?" ”

"It should be possible, it's just a reminder to the emperor." Jin Youzi said: "What's more, Concubine Wang Guifei is not a stupid person, I think she is quite interested in the name of the 'virtuous concubine'......"

"I'm afraid she's not too stupid, she's not too shrewd." Yang Shiqi sighed and said, "Forget it, let's wait for three days." ”

"That's all there is to it." The two scholars nodded, and accompanied Yang Shiqi back to the cabinet......

Xiyuan Dormitory, these days King Zhao has been in front of the emperor's bed, serving day and night. It was not until the night, when the emperor had taken medicine and went to sleep, that he retreated to the outer hall, where he washed his wide clothes under the service of the little eunuch, and then sat down on a small bed two feet wide, and gently beat his shoulders to relieve the fatigue of the day.

Although his own martial arts are not weak, but after all, he is pampered, and under such hard work, His Royal Highness King Zhao still can't bear it. And since he wants to make an appearance, he naturally can't bring those beautiful and gentle and considerate bed-warming eunuchs in his palace into the palace to serve. When you have back pain, you can only do it yourself.

He pressed it indiscriminately, and was about to fall asleep on the small bed, when Eunuch Yang crept in and whispered a few words in King Zhao's ear.

Zhao Wang was completely sleepy when he landed, sat up all of a sudden, and said with a sinking face: "What do they want to do?" ”

"According to the little eunuch who carried the sedan chair for Wang Guifei, they wanted the concubine to be a lobbyist and help them meet the emperor." Eunuch Yang said.

"Did Concubine Wang agree?" King Zhao raised his head and looked at the carved beams on the roof, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes.

"Promised." Eunuch Yang was sure.

"......" King Zhao thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of taking risks, which was too much to lose. He looked at Eunuch Yang and asked in a low voice, "...... them What are the benefits of promising Wang Guifei? ”

"It doesn't seem to be any good." Eunuch Yang thought for a while and said, "Just say that this thing is done, she will be able to go down in history and become a virtuous concubine in the mouth of future generations." ”

"Hehe, he really deserves to be the leader of the readers." When King Zhao heard this, he immediately relaxed, and lazily leaned on the bed and said, "Do you think that others will be like them, rare and ethereal things?" ”

"Yes......" Eunuch Yang responded, wanting to wait for King Zhao to express his opinion. waited and waited, but I didn't hear him say again, and when I saw it boldly, it turned out that His Royal Highness King Zhao was already asleep......

With the help of the light, Eunuch Yang carefully examined King Zhao's face for the first time, with a jade-like complexion, elegant facial lines, just the right facial features, and perfect nose, mouth and eyebrows, all of which looked like the late Empress Xu. It's just that those narrow eyes, even when closed, make people feel dangerous, which is quite incommensurate with his soft and handsome appearance.

Eunuch Yang took a closer look and found that the corners of King Zhao's eyes already had faint crow's feet, and there were also nasolabial folds on the edge of his nose. Only then did I realize that His Royal Highness King Zhao, who was as beautiful as a flower, was almost forty years old. No wonder it's unusual, you have to fight once......

Time is running out!
