Shuntian Mansion, with steep mountains and flowing rivers and rivers. It is located on the backbone of the world, controls the defenses of Yi and Xia, and is so powerful that it is known as Tianfu. In the land of secluded swallows, dragons and tigers are dominating, and the situation is majestic. It controls the Yangtze River and Huaihe River in the south and connects Shuo Mo in the north.
, the place to stay must be Yan.
Zhu Di rode on a high horse and looked at this towering city with emotion: "I'm back."
Jinling City was the place of Longxing for Emperor Gao, but for Zhu Di, Shuntian Mansion was the place of Longxing.
Zhu Gaojie took a deep breath, Wuhu felt like the air of his hometown.
He was born in Shuntian and grew up in Shuntian. From being a county prince in the Yan family to a prince in the emperor's family, he has not returned to Shuntian mansion for eleven years.
"Enter the city!"
Zhu Di shouted loudly, and the fourth battalion of the pro-army army slowly walked towards the Zhengyang Gate of Shuntian Mansion.
Zhengyang Gate, commonly known as the "Qianmen", is the first of the nine gates in the Weng City. It is located in the middle of the south wall of the inner city, so it is known as the "Zhengyang Guan Emperor". It rides a "dragon chariot" and is used exclusively by the emperor, so it is also called the "Guomen".
Prince Zhao Zhu Gaosui, who was ordered to guard Shuntian Mansion, had already led his people to wait under Zhengyang Gate to welcome the emperor's arrival.
"My dear friend, Zhu Gaosui, I wish you all the best!" Prince Zhao, who had a more feminine appearance and was dressed in princely attire, kowtowed in front of the saint.
However, Zhu Di didn't even look at him, and went straight into the city gate as if he hadn't seen him.
This also made the atmosphere in front of the city gate a bit awkward. The Shuntian Prefecture officials who came to pick him up were also a little confused. Didn't the emperor always like the third son, King Zhao? Why didn't this atmosphere look right?
But Zhu Gaojie dismounted and walked to King Zhao, saying polite words with a smile: "Third brother, I haven't seen you for many years. I have missed your third brother for a long time."
King Zhao forced out a smile and said perfunctorily: "Seeing that the fourth brother is in good health, the third brother will feel at ease."
Zhu Gaojie scratched his head: "The third brother is still thinking about me. I'm really flattered."
His relationship with King Zhao is pretty good. To be precise, his relationship with his three brothers is pretty good.
Even the king of Han, who is now bitter and bitter, only broke up with the British prince because of the marriage granted by the old man.
After all, he is the youngest among the four brothers. Although he has never been favored by the old man in the past, the three brothers are still very good to him. Of course, the premise is that Zhu Gaojie is not a threat to them.
"Does Third Brother know about the assassination of my father?" Zhu Gaojie narrowed his eyes slightly.
King Zhao's expression did not change: "Of course I know what a arrogant and rebellious minister and traitor he is, how dare he assassinate the king!"
"Oh~"
Zhu Gaojie had a smile in his eyes, "Third brother, this matter doesn't have anything to do with you, does it?"
King Zhao's eyelids jumped: "Fourth brother, what nonsense are you talking about? My father was assassinated in Xuzhou, and I am in Shuntian. What does it have to do with me? Don't mention this again in the future."
Zhu Gaojie smiled and did not continue.
As long as everyone is well aware of this kind of thing, there is no need to break the window paper.
From Zhu Di's attitude towards King Zhao when he entered the city just now, Zhu Gaojie had a good idea in his mind. Now this test only confirmed his thoughts.
To assassinate the king and kill the driver is the king of Zhao!
King Zhao seems to be low-key, living in Shuntian Mansion, and keeping aloof from the world. Therefore, when the emperor was assassinated, no one could think of the name King Zhao. But what kind of good person can Zhu Di's son be? King Zhao is really brave, and the other princes
They were all just fighting among themselves, but King Zhao was different. He actually dared to attack the old man.
"I'll visit my brother later. I'll take my leave first," Zhu Gaojie said.
King Zhao's face was pale, but he still smiled and said: "Well, if you have nothing to do, come and see your third brother more often."
…
After Zhu Gaojie left, King Zhao finally couldn't hold himself any longer, his body became weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, the guards around him acted quickly and quickly supported King Zhao.
Prince Zhao Zhu Gaosui was trembling all over. He knew that he had done something wrong.
Assassinating Zhu Di is a very stupid act, and the probability of success is less than zero.
The King of Han seemed to be showing off his military power, but when the old man took action, he tried his best to no avail, so he had no choice but to hand over the military power honestly.
King Zhao knew that he could not kill the emperor, but he still did it.
The growing power of King Qi in the capital means that the power of others is shrinking. King Qi has military power, and the King of Han has lost it. Originally, the cake was divided between the prince, the King of Han, and the King of Zhao, but now
There is one more King Qi.
King Zhao knew that he was the prince with the least power. Seeing that someone else was about to enter the situation, and the probability of him taking the throne was getting smaller and smaller, he became more and more impatient.
Until he lost his mind and decided to assassinate the king.
Prince Zhao, Prince Zhao, has never cultivated good deeds in his life, so he has no choice but to conspire and conspire. When encountering small things, everything goes smoothly, but when encountering big things, he becomes confused.
The name of King Zhao has never been among the heirs in Zhu Di's heart.
…
The palace of Shuntian Prefecture has not yet been completed, but the general outline has been built. Zhu Di lived in the Wu Building of the Shuntian Palace. The Wu Building was far less majestic and luxurious than the Qianqing Palace, and was just an ordinary palace.
After the emperor settled in his residence in Shuntian Palace, he immediately summoned King Zhao to see him.
"You traitor! Do you know your guilt?"
Zhu Di was furious and kicked Prince Zhao Zhu Gaosui, who was kneeling on the ground, to the ground.
The force of this kick was so strong that King Zhao rolled twice on the ground and his head was bruised from the impact.
But King Zhao did not panic. He took a deep breath and said, "I don't know what crime I committed to offend my father."
Zhu Di grabbed King Zhao's hair and slapped him twice unceremoniously: "You are still here pretending to be stupid, you traitor, you actually dare to have the intention of killing your father!"
"Heaven and earth can serve as a lesson. I am loyal to my father, and I only have respect in my heart. How dare I overstep my bounds!" King Zhao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "I don't know who is the traitor who framed my father. Please tell me from my father!"
"
"How dare you speak so harshly!" Zhu Di was furious, "Do you think I am blind? I know all about the dirty things you have hidden, you traitor, I must kill you today!"
Zhu Gaosui said calmly, "If my father feels that my son has different intentions, then please kill him. If you want me to die, I have to die!"
It is impossible for him to admit it. To admit it is to really seek death.
If you confess, you will be lenient, and you will go to jail. If you resist, you will be lenient, and you will go home to celebrate the New Year.
It would be impossible even to death to admit this. If he admitted it, not only would he die, but Zhu Di would also be infamy. Historians would record in the history books the scandal of "Zhu Laosi's son wanted to kill his own father but was killed instead."
name.
"Do you think I dare not kill you?" Zhu Di raised his sword and was about to chop off King Zhao's neck.
At this critical moment, a voice suddenly came: "Father, save someone under the sword!"
The blade was only an inch away from King Zhao's neck, but it stopped in time.
Zhu Gaojie ignored the obstruction and broke into the palace directly. He raised his hands to Zhu Di and said, "Father, Beizhen Fusi has found out the whole story. The third brother was framed. Please tell me!"
