Volume 4 Wants to Compare West Lake to Xizi Chapter 368 Conspiracy Chain
"Thou art thou doing what thou is thou shalt do, and thou hast the right to do things, and what sin is there?" Zhu Di said coldly: "It's just that the prefect of Xuanfu ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and actually pushed back and ignored me and hundreds of thousands of troops?" After a pause, he finally couldn't suppress the fire and said: "Also, what summer grain has not been delivered for a long time, what are you and the prince going to eat?"
"Erchen has already prepared the carriage and horses, and he is also looking forward to it, and he is waiting for the summer grain to arrive at night" Zhu Gaosui hurriedly said: "But I can't wait for the left and right, and the people sent to urge him came back and said that millions of stones of grain are piled up in Taiyuan, but the officials in Shanxi are refusing to ship it, saying that it is the White Lotus Sect rebelling and occupying the main road, and it cannot be shipped rashly before the rebellion."
"The White Lotus Sect rebelled?" Zhu Di looked at him and said, "Why didn't you report before?" ”
"I don't know this son." Zhu Gaosui said thoughtfully: "Xu is eldest brother feels that he is suffering from the disease of mustard, and he does not want to distract his father. He didn't know how many times he had rehearsed this conversation with the emperor, so he waited for this moment, and unknowingly splashed dirty water on Zhu Gaochi's body.
"Hmph" Sure enough, it's okay not to mention the prince, but when the prince Zhu Di was angry, he smashed the paperweight in his hand, and the white jade paperweight was broken into several paragraphs: "What a mustard disease"
"My father is angry, and the ministers don't dare to say anything about the specific situation, so let my eldest brother and the officials in Shanxi explain it." Zhu Gaosui's words sounded like a fire to the emperor, but in fact, it was actually a dangerous impression for the emperor that the crown prince and Shanxi officials were in the same group.
What is Zhu Di most afraid of? It's nothing more than that he is leading the army outside, and the prince has the ambition of self-reliance, colluding with the officials, giving himself a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and he has never been afraid to speculate on Zhu Gaochi with the greatest malice, so it is easier to be led to this aspect.
But the anger of the saint is not on his face, even though Zhu Di is angry from his heart and evil is born to his guts, he still said silently on his face: "Then go back to Xuanfu first, you are also tired, go down and rest first." ”
"Yes." Zhu Gaosui responded and retired.
When Zhu Gaosui returned to the camp, he saw Zhu Gaochu sitting there waiting, and asked eagerly: "How is it, is my father angry?" ”
Zhu Gaosui shook his head, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but be disappointed. Zhu Gaosui pursed his lips and smiled: "My stupid second brother, in fact, it is not necessarily a good thing for my father to be angry, his old man's reaction now is really abnormal, which shows that he has moved a lot of thought in order to temporarily suppress his anger." After a pause, he said: "But the fire cannot be suppressed, sooner or later it will break out, and the harder it is pressed, the more terrifying it will be." ”
"Makes sense." Thinking about this, Zhu Gaoxu grinned and said: "The third brother is more errant than the second brother, and I have exhausted all the organs over there, so I still let Zhu Zhanji's kid escape on the battlefield." Fortunately, his father was also very disappointed in him, and he no longer talked about the holy grandson. ”
"It's normal, it's just a hairy child, can it be a wise and martial artist? Walking on the battlefield reveals the stuffing. Zhu Gaosui said lightly: "Don't worry about Zhu Zhanji, under the nest, there are no eggs?" When the boss falls, he's finished. ”
"Not bad." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "You say, can you checkmate the boss this time?"
"** not far from ten." Zhu Gaosui said in a deep voice: "This time, we have all the knives, poisons, and traps for him, oh, by the way, I also prepared a hanging rope for him, just wait for him to stretch his neck and drill in, I don't believe that this will not kill him" Speaking of the most embarrassing post, his handsome face was already hideous, I really don't know where a compatriot has such a big hatred
"Okay, this time with the third brother's plan, we will definitely succeed in one fell swoop" Zhu Gaoxu slapped his hands and smiled: "After the matter is completed, no matter which of us ascends to the throne, we must share wealth and never lose each other."
"What the second brother said, I don't want to be the prince at all, what is there to do with the prince? The father was cautious when he was there, lest he be careless and arouse the emperor's suspicion. Zhu Gaosui shook his head and said: "My daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years, and she has to worry about the world, it is too bitter and bitter." Saying that, he smiled at Zhu Gaoxu and said: "It's still the second brother who can work hard, and when the time comes, I can seal a good place for the younger brother, let me be a happy king, and the younger brother will be satisfied."
"Hahaha......" Zhu Gaoxu heard that it was really comfortable, and said loudly and said: "It's easy to say, when the time comes, my brother will seal Suzhou and Hangzhou to you."
"The little brother thanked the elder brother first." Zhu Gaosui gave a gift, the two looked at each other and smiled, let people serve wine and food, eat a meal happily, and then sleep together.
With the grain brought by King Zhao, the army was finally able to eat, and although the grain was still very tight, it was finally able to return to Xuanfu safely.
After the army left the Hanhai Corridor and entered the Hetao, the various departments in the loop had already heard that the official army had defeated Mahamu, and they rushed to offer cattle, sheep, wine and meat, completely relieving the food shortage of the army. At this time, the grain and grass of the brigade were also shipped, and Zhu Di sneered again and again when he saw this hindsight, and directly ordered the arrest of the officials who transported the grain......
When he returned to Xuanfu, Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, also came, and the emperor immediately summoned him secretly, and after some discussion, Ji Gang left Xuanfu overnight, not knowing what secret mission to perform......
"Since my third uncle met the saint, the imperial grandfather issued an order to let me study with peace of mind, and I don't have to ask for peace sooner or later." On the carriage, Zhu Zhanji said with a depressed face: "But the blind can see that this is the emperor's grandfather snubbing me, how much time does it take to ask for peace?" ”
"Your Highness, don't get too entangled." Wang Xian comforted softly: "In my opinion, the emperor is not targeting you, but I don't know how to face you before finding out the truth." ”
"Hmm." Zhu Zhanji thought about it, and said with a smile on his face: "Or you will persuade people, one sentence will make me much better." Saying that, he looked at him deeply and said, "During your absence, I am really six gods and no master, and I really don't know what to do." Good thing you're back."
"I'm not Zhiduoxing either, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint His Highness," Wang Xian smiled bitterly: "What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?" ”
"Alas, my father only said that those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, and he has a clear conscience." Zhu Zhanji sighed and said: "Actually, my father can't do anything, although the emperor let him supervise the country, but he still keeps Yao Guangxiao and Ji Gang to monitor in the capital, and he will report it immediately as soon as there is any trouble." Especially the latter, the infiltration of the prince's mansion has been pervasive, so that my father may even be eavesdropped on private matters, what else can he do? ”
"What the hell is going on in Shanxi?"
"God knows how to say" Zhu Zhanji said depressedly: "Why did the White Lotus Sect emerge, why did it just stand in the way of Taiyuan into Beijing, and it was simply mad to dare to block the grain and grass of the imperial court."
"Maybe it's not a coincidence." Wang Xian said slowly: "From Baoyin being put back in Xuanfu to being burned in Guangwu Town. From Li Qian suddenly becoming a traitor to the uprising of the White Lotus Sect in Shanxi. Although these things seem to have nothing to do with each other, they are all aimed at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is intriguing."
"Needless to say, it must be my second and third uncles who are making trouble behind their backs." Zhu Zhanji said indignantly, saying that he was deflated first: "It's a pity that there is no evidence, not only will the imperial grandfather not believe it, but will misunderstand that he wants to drag them into the water."
"Whoever walks through will leave traces, and evidence will be found sooner or later." Wang Xian thought about it and said: "But you are right, now is not the time to counterattack, you have to protect yourself first, hold the position and then make it a plan."
"Not bad." Zhu Zhanji nodded and sighed: "Protect yourself first." Saying that, he looked at Wang Xian and said with a wry smile: "Now on our side, everyone is in danger, and the only one who is safe is you."
"Me?" Wang Xian was stunned.
"My imperial grandfather is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and he will not embarrass you if he saves me." Zhu Zhanji looked at him apologetically and said, "But I guess your credit will be dusty...... The fact that I was surrounded by the Warat army was strictly forbidden to be mentioned by my imperial grandfather, and I am afraid that your merits will not be publicized. ”
"It doesn't matter." Wang Xian smiled indifferently and said, "I didn't save you for meritorious service. ”
"Hmm." Zhu Zhanji's nose was sour, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are good to me, I have it in my heart, one day my father and son can ascend to the big treasure, and I will definitely repay you twice."
A huge post-dated check arrived, but unfortunately this check still has conditions, if his father and son are beaten, this check will be too hard
"Don't talk about that, I'll show you two things." Wang Xian handed the letter and the golden seal to Zhu Zhanjidao.
"This is ......" Zhu Zhanji took it and looked at it, and his eyes lit up...... The people of the country don't care whether the Great Khan is a puppet or not, they will only know that this is the surrender letter of the Mongol Great Khan to the Yongle Emperor and sent it to the Central Plains with his Great Khan's golden seal
Not to mention the singing and weeping deeds of the Borzigit people who crossed the Great Gobi and overcame a lot of hardships to defect to the Ming Dynasty, which is simply perfect for the Yongle Emperor, who is worried that the spoils of war are not bright enough
After some analysis, Zhu Zhanji judged that Wang Xian would not be punished, but would be rewarded, and he said excitedly: "You must seize this good opportunity to soar, don't care about us, you will be the greatest help to us."
"We'll talk about it then." Wang Xian sighed and said with a bitter face: "But I did a lot of ridiculous things in order to get out. ”
"For example?"
"For example, I asked them to pretend to be an envoy to negotiate with Mahamu," Wang Xian looked at Zhu Zhanji, and his voice became quieter and quieter: "For another example, I married Tariba's sister in your name." ”
"Ha Luha, these things don't matter, it's just a bunch of Tartars, and the emperor still has to cheer for you." Seeing that he was worried about this, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, my imperial grandfather is not the kind of person who eats the ancients. ”
"That's good, that's good." Wang Xian drank the tea.
When the two arrived in the capital, they found that it had become a sea of joy, it turned out that the emperor was rewarding the three armies, inside and outside the capital, in countless military camps, the army of the expedition to the desert could finally take off their robes, wash away the journey, enjoy the wine and meat rewarded by the emperor, and have a good time.
Zhu Zhanji reported the news of Wang Xian's return, and sure enough, he immediately alarmed the emperor and ordered him to meet him the next day
