After Xuan Le asked his subordinates this morning, he stopped asking about Nanyuan. The disappearance of Dong Su and others did not arouse the alarm of others. There was no developed communication in this era, and no one knew who Dong Su and others were. Did he go on some secret mission?
Xuan Le, who has always been known for his calmness, suddenly became a little out of control. What Zhu Tianjiang did indirectly showed that there was a very terrifying power in his hands. What happened last night, the third prince Xuan Le He believed that he had deceived Lin Feng and did not leave any suspicious clues. Even the injured guard fled into the palace. The third prince did not understand how Zhu Tianjiang discovered his secret.
Xuan Le turned around, with a fierce gaze that wanted to eat people, "Zhu Tianjiang, what do you mean?" Xuan Le clenched his fists and looked at Zhu Tianjiang coldly.
"Hey, third brother, don't shake fists with me. You will definitely suffer the loss in a duel. Don't worry, those people will be sent back to you right away. It's useless for me to stay. I'm just doing this to let you know Let's make it clearer. It's just you and me here, there's no need to hide. By the way, there's no need for Miss Gu to hide. She may still be useful if she stays in the capital." Zhu Tianjiang was tepid. said.
Xuan Le's face turned blue, and he regretted letting the two guards leave. Zhu Tianjiang acted unreasonably, and Xuan Le really had no way to beat him up. Xuan Le held back his anger and picked up the folding fan, slowly Sat down.
Zhu Tianjiang smiled slightly, waved his hand to the boat, and the boat rowed to the other side.
"Your Highness, now we can talk honestly and unfairly." Zhu Tianjiang picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Xuan Le.
"What do you want?" Xuan Le was not in the mood to drink, and looked at Zhu Tianjiang coldly.
"Join me and deal with Xuan Ming and Xuan Can." Zhu Tianjiang said straight to the point.
"Why, with your abilities and methods as official Zhu, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with those two reckless men?" Xuan Le said sarcastically with a sneer.
Zhu Tianjiang looked at Xuan Le nonchalantly and said, "Humph, you're talking lightly. One of them has military power, the other has the backing of the harem. The most important thing is that your emperor's father is biased towards them. How can I fight with them?" .”
"In this case, why should I join forces with you? Wouldn't it be better for me to join forces with the two royal brothers and put you to death?" Xuan Le looked at Zhu Tianjiang calmly.
"If you do that, it can be said that you will completely lose your qualifications to compete for the throne."
"If I cooperate with you, even if I defeat the two royal brothers, the fourth brother will still stand on my head. Unless, you give up the fourth brother."
The two people were tit for tat. Xuan Le's words hit the point. Since they joined forces, what could he gain?
Zhu Tianjiang looked at Xuan Le, "The fourth prince and I are friends. I, Zhu Tianjiang, will not do anything to stab someone in the back. However, I can guarantee that I will treat him fairly when the time comes. If the fourth prince is really unfit to sit on this throne, It's not bad to be a free prince." After Zhu Tianjiang finished speaking, he looked at Xuan Le calmly.
Xuan Le was startled, "Is this true?"
"Absolutely no lies!"
The third prince Xuan Le stared at Zhu Tianjiang's face, as if he wanted to find a flaw in his face. Zhu Daguan's face was sincere, but in his heart he was cursing extremely dirty, "It's numb, I practiced it when I was a turtle slave" With this expression, I don’t believe you are more professional than that Feng Ma’s eyes.
Finally, the third prince Xuan Le nodded, "Okay! I believe you. If the fourth brother is really more suitable to sit on the throne than me, Xuan Le will still accept him."
Zhu Daguan laughed and said, "That's right. With the despicable energy of you and me, it's a perfect match for us to join forces. I'm telling you and you're secretly hiding it, so you have to trick your two brothers to death. Come on, let's go.
One!" Zhu Tianjiang said, picking up the wine glass.
Xuan Le smiled bitterly and gently shook his folding fan, regaining his elegant demeanor. The two of them raised their wine glasses and toasted to the agreement.
"Tiancheng, you are a rare genius. If you can help Dafeng with peace of mind, you will be a blessing to the people of the world." Xuan Le said with a smile.
"Wizards? I'm still a fucking Los Angeles Laker. I'm telling you, third brother, don't do this useless thing. Just tell me, how will Xuan Ming and Xuan Can deal with me next." Zhu Tianjiang tore it off.
A chicken drumstick, chewed in a very dishonorable way.
Xuan Le looked at Zhu Tianjiang helplessly. This guy was simply a combination of a genius and a gangster. To say he was a genius was to insult the gangster.
Xuan Le pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Brother Tianjiang, do you know what your biggest strength is right now?"
"Nonsense, of course I know. If I didn't have that whip, I wouldn't have let your two brothers bully me to death." Zhu Tianjiang curled his lips and said.
"So you know what the biggest threat is?"
Zhu Tianjiang was startled, thought for a moment and said, "Become the Emperor of Wu!"
Xuan Le nodded, "Yes, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with Xuan Ming and Xuan Can with your wisdom. Judging from the threat banquet you organized today, your secret base is very strong, and it has exceeded the base of Dafeng Law."
There is a limit. But to the royal family, these things are just passing clouds. No matter how powerful you are, you can't be stronger than the old uncle Zhou Yantian. If the imperial power wants to suppress you, it is just a matter of will."
Zhu Tianjiang nodded and agreed very much with the third son Xuanle's point of view. Regardless of his previous life or the present, what he did was of the nature of the underworld. As long as there is a government decree and imperial edict from above, he can defeat the strength he has accumulated in the past few months.
Even if Zhu Tianjiang reaches the strength to compete with him, he is still a rebel in name and will not get the support of the people.
"Third brother, although Xuan Ming and Xuan Can have your imperial father's backing, there are no fixed tactics. If I take the wrong direction, they may not be able to win." At this time, Zhu Tianjiang also became serious.
In the eyes of Zhu Tianjiang, the thinking of the third child Xuan Le is more clear than that of Lin Feng, Zhu Yi and others. If he hadn't known that Xuan Le was the biological son of Emperor Cheng Wu, Zhu Tianjiang would have even suspected that this kid was also a time traveler.
.
Xuan Le smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "Brother Tianjiang, the real power of the Second Emperor is in the harem. Despite Dafeng's law, the harem does not interfere with the government's affairs, but things have changed since the Queen Mother was alive.
This tradition. Therefore, the power of the harem cannot be underestimated. Another point is your king-beating whip."
Xuan Le said, glanced at Zhu Tianjiang, and continued, "It can save your life, but it can also harm your life. As an authority figure, you only see the value of the king's whip to you, but as a
As a bystander, I saw that it was a sharp sword hanging above your head. According to the ancestral system, the king's whip cannot leave the clan, but you as an outsider hold the king's whip, which is very detrimental to the royal family. The reason why my father is so right
You are wary mainly because of this whip. Brother Tianjiang, since you and I are cooperating honestly, I advise you to return the whip to the royal family as soon as possible."
Zhu Tianjiang squinted his eyes, wondering if there was a trap in this guy's words, but judging from Zhu Tianjiang's analysis, what Xuan Le said did make sense.
"Xuan Le, if I don't have this support, I don't know if I will be wiped out by Xuan Ming's personal troops in an instant." Zhu Tianjiang looked at the third prince Xuan Le cautiously.
"Haha, brother Tianjiang, as I said, you only see the benefits of beating the king's whip. In fact, my father has always valued you very much. It is because you have the whip that he feels threatened. This
The threat is not now, but in the future. Once you return the whip, the biggest threat above your head will be eliminated. No matter how powerful the harem is, my father is still in control of the overall situation." The third prince Xuan Le said in a very meaningful way.
A smile.
Zhu Tianjiang stroked his chin, and a cunning smile slowly appeared on his face. Xuan Le's words inspired him a lot. These were words that Lin Feng, Zhu Yi, and others would never say or think of.
Xuan Le's analysis was good. The king's whip is a double-edged sword, which can both kill the enemy and hurt oneself. This thing is in Zhu Tianjiang's hands. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Tianjiang has a strong side. Once it is lost,
In the eyes of Emperor Chengwu, not to mention the civil and military ministers, Zhu Tianjiang immediately became a "weak". Even if Zhu Tianjiang led his servants and bodyguards to fight with the eldest prince in the street, the civil and military officials and
Emperor Chengwu's sympathy would turn to Zhu Tianjiang's side.
At tonight's banquet, Zhu Tianjiang and the third prince Xuan Le have formed a formal alliance. Whether they have their own agendas or take advantage of each other, both parties have obtained the greatest benefits from each other.
Zhu Tianjiang and Xuan Le opened their hearts, and the two of them drank drunkenly. By the end of the drink, they almost kowtowed on the spot.
When Zhu Yi, Xia Qing, and the other four guards of the Third Prince came over, their jaws dropped in surprise when they saw the two people approaching with their arms around their necks and waists. Zhu Tianjiang and the Third Prince were head to head, swaying one step at a time.
As they were talking, one was talking about buying groceries and the other was talking about taking a shower. The conversation was not the same topic at all. But the intimacy was as good as a mother's. The third prince's guards looked at each other, and they knew the third prince.
Until now, I have never seen the third prince drunk like this.
The two groups of people quickly carried their masters into the car, and each family returned to their own mansions. Zhu Tianjiang vomited all over the car, and Zhu Yi and others got out of the car and ran away.
Zhu Daguan was lying alone in the car, muttering incessantly, "Old, third, let's scold together. If you scold the queen, I will scold your father. If anyone doesn't scold, they are my grandsons."
!”
Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others looked ahead and jogged with the carriage, automatically filtering out the words of Zhu Daguan who were bullying the emperor. Good guy, you pulled someone's son and scolded his parents. No wonder he was called an official.
The capital city has been quiet and a bit boring since the three Yamen's trial, and the people had no topic to talk about for a while. In this matter, everyone can see that the eldest prince suffered a secret loss. Emperor Cheng Wu knew very well that the eldest prince Xuan Ming
Because of his character, he knew that Xuan Ming would never give up, and his bet with Wei Zhan was still valid. However, Emperor Cheng Wu didn’t know what method Zhu Tianjiang would use to deal with Xuan Ming’s next move. If Zhu Tianjiang used the method of beating the king indiscriminately,
Because of the power of the whip, I am afraid that there is no need to issue an edict yourself, all civil and military officials will also submit a petition to request the withdrawal of the king's whip.
During the morning court that day, the civil and military ministers each finished presenting their memorials. Emperor Chengwu finished his instructions on the spot and was about to announce his resignation when he saw a eunuch trotting from the palace gate to Eunuch Wei.
Emperor Chengwu frowned and glanced at Wei Zhenghai, "What's the matter!"
"Your Majesty, Zhu Tianjiang is asking for an audience outside the court." Wei Zhenghai hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Oh? Zhu Tianjiang wants to see you?" Emperor Chengwu was startled.
When all the civil and military officials heard this, they all whispered below, wondering what the "degenerate drunkard" wanted to do today.
Emperor Chengwu thought for a moment, "Xuan!"
Eunuch Wei took a few steps forward and sang loudly, "Xuan~Zhu Tianjiang enters the palace~!"
Voices came out one after another, and not long after, Zhu Tianjiang was seen walking in with his small waist carrying the king whip. When he entered the door, Zhu Tianjiang did not kneel down and kowtow, but gave the left and right ministers the whip with a playful smile.
call.
When Emperor Cheng Wu saw it, he couldn't help but feel anger rising on his face. Before Emperor Cheng Wu could get angry, he saw Zhu Tianjiang throwing himself forward.
"Your Majesty, Master, you miss me so much. My student, I wish you a long life and a long life like the sky~!"
King Jing's eyelids twitched twice. No official in the Dafeng Dynasty had ever seen such a face before, and Zhu Tianjiang was the first one.
Emperor Chengwu frowned and said, "Without courtesy~!"
Zhu Tianjiang got up and looked at Emperor Chengwu with a smile without saying a word. Emperor Chengwu said to himself, "You are so full that you are so full, why do you come here to cause trouble?"
"Zhu Tianjiang, what important matters do you have to go to court today?" Emperor Chengwu asked majestically.
Zhu Tianjiang looked around, and the civil and military officials quickly averted their eyes, indicating that they wanted to keep a certain distance from this guy.
Zhu Tianjiang coughed twice, suddenly stopped smiling, raised his hands high to hit the king's whip and said.
"Thanks to His Majesty the Master, the student is given the King's Whip. However, the student considers that he is not virtuous enough to bear the weight of the King's Whip. Today I am here to request an order to ask His Majesty the Master to take back the King's Whip!"
"Uh~!" Emperor Chengwu felt as if an egg had been shoved into his throat. He stared at Zhu Tianjiang with wide eyes. He wondered if he had heard wrongly.
All the civil and military officials were stunned at the same time. They all looked at Zhu Tianjiang with their mouths wide open. It was as if time had stopped in the court hall and it suddenly became quiet.
