【Part 155】Kunning

The White Dragon King came forward and told him in the ear of the King of Han, "The emperor is resting in Kunning Palace. Please come and see the King of Han."

Zhu Gaoxu glared at the White Dragon King and said, "I know." This sentence meant to tell the White Dragon King that I am the chief manager, so I naturally know these things and wanted to use this sentence to regain my position. Han Wang Mai

He walked quickly and strutted towards Kunning Palace. He was alone in front of him, but in fact he felt uneasy, not knowing what his shrewd father would say.

Emperor Zhu Di was resting in Kunning Palace, with thousands of horses racing in his heart, but he still didn't show it. After being the emperor for many years, Zhu Di knew that no matter how surprised you are, you can't show it and let others know your weakness.

Zhu Di originally thought that Ji Gang was a dog, a bit flamboyant and had psychological problems, but he did not expect that this person would blatantly attack the Forbidden City. He couldn't help but think of who recommended Ji Gang to be the admiral of the Nine Gates? He actually took the most important checkpoint of the imperial city.

I gave it to the traitor. Is this person planning to kill me? Zhu Di looked around at the people around him, with different expressions on their faces. He was even more vigilant about powerful enemies surrounding him.

Those who sit on the throne cannot relax for a moment.

He looked at Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting next to him and gasping. The fat prince was indeed not his first choice. This child was too different from him, but the other princes could not take on important responsibilities. Everyone said that the second prince Zhu Gaochi was the most similar to him, saying

He was brave and good at fighting. But Zhu Di knew in his heart that Han King Zhu Gaoxu was brave but lacked strategy. He had seen this during the Western Expedition.

Ruling the world is not just about killing people, but more importantly, strategizing, controlling the situation of the court, controlling the civil servants and generals internally, and pacifying the Tatars on the frontier externally. Fighting is the work of outsiders, and controlling politics is the work of internalists. He regulates his own aura.

, the poison he had just received made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't show it.

In fact, he is not worried about Ji Gang's rebellion. He has the Imperial Guards in his hands, and the Jinyi Guards are no match in terms of numbers and equipment. The White Dragon King should be able to handle Ji Gang.

At this time, the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji came in and bowed to the emperor according to the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.

When Zhu Di saw Zhu Zhanji, he was immediately relieved. Among all his descendants, he liked his eldest grandson the most. Zhu Zhanji said: "Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings. I heard that the rebels outside have been eliminated and the situation is peaceful."

Zhu Di waved his hand pleasantly and asked Zhu Zhanji to come closer. "Come, I have something to ask you."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji was startled in his heart. Did the emperor know something? It would have been discovered that Mo Ruo asked Liu Muyu to steal the sword. He had always felt that Zhao Wenquan's death was a bit strange. Could there be some inside story? What about today?

It was related to the late incident. If the imperial grandfather asked him, how should he respond? Zhu Zhanji had nine exquisite holes in his heart, and he turned around many thoughts in an instant.

"Good boy, are you scared?"

Hearing that Zhu Di asked himself a common question, Zhu Zhanji immediately relaxed and replied quickly, "Thank you, Grandfather. This is also an experience for my grandson. It will increase his knowledge and observe how your Majesty handles national secrets."

"Yeah, good boy, give me a seat and take a rest." At this time, the eunuch moved an official hat chair and placed it under Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Di waved to the eunuch to move Zhu Zhanji next to him.

This is a very significant move. The royal position represents the limit of power. At any time, the prince should be the next in line after the emperor, but at this time the emperor's grandson surpassed the prince and was one step closer to the emperor.

Of course Zhu Zhanji understood this truth, and he asked the prince, his father, for instructions. The prince Zhu Gaochi nodded silently. Only then did Zhu Zhanji dare to approach the emperor.

Zhu Zhanji thought to himself: "Did the emperor's grandfather forget the rules? How can I be so close to the emperor than my father?"

Just when this subtle movement caused ripples in the hearts of three generations, the King of Han and the Seven Guards of the East Gate came in.

As soon as the King of Han came in, he shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! My ministers have been late to save you. Is your Majesty okay? As soon as I saw Ji Gang, I knew that this man was not a good person. He was simply a traitor. He should be beaten with a thousand swords. Ling Chi

Put to death."

Zhu Di was slightly startled. What happened? The King of Han came in.

Seeing him yelling and disturbing the peace of Kunning Palace, Zhu Di was a little angry. What's more, this was the residence of Queen Xu during her lifetime. Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu were raised in this Kunning Palace when they were young.

When the father and son met, the atmosphere was very solemn. The King of Han was uneasy and worried that his father would discover his conspiracy. Ever since Zhu Gaochi became the prince, he had been walking on thin ice and was extremely afraid of the emperor and the king of Han. He was afraid that the emperor would take away his crown prince.

, and was also afraid of the King of Han's eager gaze. For so many years, Zhu Gaochi had been trembling with fear, fearing that one mistake would cause him to fall into the abyss of power in the Forbidden City.

Although Zhu Di was the emperor, he had never enjoyed the happiness of a family relationship. He had to always worry about whether his son would usurp the throne. After all, he himself was the initiator of the usurpation. Not to mention the knot in his heart about Emperor Jianwen, his

The throne has never been stable.

Suddenly Zhu Di had trouble breathing. Ever since he was poisoned tonight, his heart and lungs seemed to be damaged and he couldn't breathe normally. It was as if there was a small stone stuffed under his chest, blocking his breathing.

Zhu Di thought to himself, "Ever since I moved to Nanjing and lived in the Forbidden City, I haven't had a good night's sleep. I'm always looking at the shadow of the sword, and my heart just can't settle down in the south." He suddenly had an idea, a bold one.
