Is he really begging Zhu Yunxi to help his father?
not necessarily!
Zhu Yunxi looked at the other person for a long time, until the other person avoided his eyes and shed cold sweat in fear, and then slowly said, "If you are guilty, you will be punished, and if you do something wrong, you will be beaten."
As he said that, he turned his back and looked out the window, "However, Mr. Gu must take care of your well-being. You must not be accused of being unfaithful or unfilial, and you must not be accused of being reviled!"
"You know what happened today, I know about it, and no other person knows about it."
"And now that Grandpa Huang has just recovered from a serious illness, Gu Ye really doesn't want to bother him with these troublesome things. In a few days, you can return to the fiefdom with King Chu, that's all!"
At this point, Zhu Yunxi turned around and smiled, "Gu will give you the right to secretly report. From now on, everything no matter how small or big, must be secretly repaid to Gu!"
Immediately, he patted the other party's shoulder again and said, "As I said, you are a sensible person. You are loyal to the country, so I will not treat you badly!"
"But!" Without waiting for the other party to look happy, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, "But there are some things, if what you said is unclear or not entirely true, you have to weigh it carefully!"
Zhu Mengtan's mood was like a roller coaster. He knelt down and said, "I don't dare!"
"You throw a peach and repay a plum!" Zhu Yunxi sat back on the throne, "If the old man is in a good mood in the past few days, I will invite you and your mother and concubine to the palace for a family banquet." He said with a smile, "The old man doesn't want to see you.
The son of King Chu always wants to see his grandson!"
Zhu Mengxuan was immediately overjoyed. If he, the emperor's grandson, was personally summoned by the old man in Beijing, it would be of great benefit to him in the future. Coupled with the emperor's grandson's promise, it would be almost logical for him to become the king of Chu in the future.
"My lord, thank God for his grace!"
"Go!" Zhu Yunxi said.
When Zhu Mengran retreated, the smile on Zhu Yunxi's face disappeared instantly.
Five Kings Alliance, if a toad gets on your feet, it will kill you if it doesn't bite you!
Regardless of whether this is true or not, whether their alliance is real or not, it still makes people feel like they have a knot in their throats.
And those who are plotting in secret have probably figured out their own weakness. That is, considering the old man's age and health, they are unwilling and unable to let the old man know about these messy things.
But there is a saying that those who plot secretly may have forgotten.
If God wants to destroy people, he must first make them crazy. If you are having fun now, you will make a list in the future. When Zhu Yunxi takes care of them in the future, none of them will be able to escape.
However, there is one point Zhu Yunxi has seen through.
The person who instigated the Five Kings Alliance definitely didn't have a good idea. What he definitely wanted was for the sons and grandsons of the Zhu family to kill each other.
Who is this scribe? He has broken his bones and thrown away his ashes, but he only feels hatred in his heart!
"Is it possible?" Zhu Yunxi secretly thought, "The Five Kings Alliance came from Zhu Mengran's mouth. It was said that a scribe contacted them, but they don't know who is the leader among the five kings?"
"But thinking about it, although the answer is not right, it is not far away!"
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi said to the outsider, "He Guangyi is here to see me!"

The scene changed and it was already thousands of miles away.
When the south of the Yangtze River is scorching hot, the north is not yet cool. Amidst the mountains, the small river is meandering, clear, and flowing slowly, shuttling between the mountains.
When water meets stones, it turns into a trickle or streams, and the water splashes collide with the stones, making a pleasant sound.
There is a tent by the river.
King Zhu Di of Yan sat opposite a scribe in black, holding chess pieces in his hands and looking solemn.
Zhu Di held the black stone in his hand. There was an opponent's big dragon in the heart of the chessboard that was about to gain momentum, and from his side, there was also a big dragon that was about to come out. With the stone in his hand now, he didn't know whether he should block the opponent first or fight to the death.
Fight, put it on your own side.
"Hamoji!" The scribe in black on the opposite side became impatient, sat cross-legged and laughed, "Chitose, when did you become such a mother-in-law? Haven't you always been so arrogant in chess, sweeping thousands of armies?
?”
Zhu Di pinched the chess piece in his hand and said, "Looking at chess is like a human being. When I was young, I liked to fight quickly. When we meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins. But now that I am getting older, I have to be cautious in this situation!"
"Prudence is the most useless thing!" the scribe said with a smile, "Since the move has been made, the winner must be determined. It doesn't matter if you make a storm or you can moisturize the thing silently. The other party is trying to win against you. Chess is like life. Once the move is made, it doesn't matter.
The winner must be determined!”
Zhu Di smiled and threw the chess piece in his hand back into the box, "There are so many ways to play chess, I can't play it anymore!"
The scribe smiled and said, "You can regret playing chess and start over, but you can't do it with human affairs!"
"You're the only monk who talks a lot!" Zhu Di looked at the other person and said, "Where have you been these days? You've been doing such nondescript things since you came back!"
The scribe scratched his head with his hands rather inelegantly and laughed, "Qiantose must have forgotten that I cannot see the light of day. I have been dead for a long time. If my true face is revealed to outsiders, I am afraid that even you will be involved!" As he said,
Suddenly, with a strong hand, he grabbed his hair directly, revealing his shiny bald head.
It turned out that it was a wig.
And this scribe turned out to be the Daoyan monk, Yao Guangxiao.
Zhu Di laughed loudly, "You are as big as a monk, but you still don't do anything right!"
"As a person, I should be bohemian, but in my work, I am meticulous!" Yao Guangxiao said seriously, "My prince is a thousand years old, and with the alliance of eight kings, everything can be accomplished!"
Zhu Di's face condensed and his expression became serious.
"Speaking of which, the grandson of the emperor in the capital let Prince Ning and the others go so easily, which is really a bad move!" Yao Guangxiao said, "People don't know the pain until they are hit in the face. He doesn't feel any pain or itching.
, people won’t buy his fault, and they will secretly hate him!”
Years ago, Prince Ning and other feudal lords were involved in selling contraband, which caused panic among people. Just when everyone thought they were going to be punished, the incident turned out to be nothing.
"I know why I didn't do anything harsh!" Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "The old man's health is getting worse day by day. Although the child has all kinds of bad things, but in terms of filial piety, there is nothing wrong with him. If he really
Of course, it’s okay to play hard. But if you don’t play hard, it’s just for the sake of the old man!”
"How can you be so merciful when a big thing has happened!" Yao Guangxiao smiled scornfully, "Although he didn't do anything heavy-handed, it still cut off the wealth of the kings. And before he even ascended the throne, he reprimanded him in the tone of an emperor. Haha, the method is still a little too tender.
There’s not enough heat either!”
Zhu Di touched his nose and said, "The Eight Kings Alliance you said has achieved great things. In your opinion, how sincere are they?"
"At least, when you raise troops, they will not be your enemy, let alone help the other side!" Yao Guangxiao said with a smile.
Zhu Di looked a little confused, "Why did they agree so quickly?"
"Everyone has selfish motives. The old man only has his grandson in his eyes, so everyone is naturally dissatisfied." Yao Guangxiao said, "It was the same when the late prince was here, but the princes didn't dare to say it. But now these years, there is no one else in the old man's eyes.
The eldest son, as well as this grandson, the other children and grandchildren don’t even look at him, so who is upset?”
"Furthermore, once the one in the capital ascends the throne, he will cut down the vassal. The vassal kings are not fools, so they understand!"
"Once he reduces the vassalage in the future, it will violate the ancestral system and touch the interests of the kings. And you are speaking for your brothers and thinking about their future and wealth. How can they not agree?"
"I'm afraid, there are people who are double-dealing!" Zhu Di looked at the chessboard, "My younger brothers are also human beings!"
"But none of them have the same ambitions as Chitose!" Yao Guang said filial piety, "They are all just people who want to enjoy the wealth of the vassal and be a country within a country!"
"Actually, that kid is right. If I were him, I would certainly cut down the vassalage!" Zhu Di sighed.
"Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di and said, "Chitose, your ambition has never been just to be a King of Sai!"
"Whatever you said is right, we are all the sons of the old man. Why should good things be given to the eldest brother!" Zhu Di's eyes fell on the river next to him and he said, "He is too partial!"
After saying that, he turned his eyes back and said with a smile, "The Eight Kings Alliance, Yan Zhou Chu Ning, Dai Gu Xiang Huai, enough for him to drink a pot!"
