"He didn't say anything and just moved obediently?" King Zhao wiped away his confused expression and asked with doubts on his face: "Again this trick of submissiveness?" He had personally seen Wang Xian submissive to Zhu Di, and then suddenly turned around.
, the whole process of bringing the emperor to death. As soon as he heard that Wang Xian did this to him, he felt uneasy.
"Yes." Eunuch Yang said softly: "His subordinates were still a little dissatisfied and wanted to argue, but he stopped him."
"What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?" Zhu Gaosui frowned.
"It doesn't matter what kind of medicine he sells. Once he's locked up, he'll be in trouble all over the world." Eunuch Yang chuckled and said, "My lord, what else do you have to worry about?"
"My father thought so at the time..." Zhu Gaosui snorted. If he still believes that Wang Xian is helpless, he is too naive. He believes that Wang Xian's show of weakness is just a strategy to prepare for attack.
Anyone who thinks they can ravage Wang Xian at will will definitely suffer the most violent backlash, just like his father...
However, Zhu Gaosui tried his best and couldn't figure out what Wang Xian's next move was, so he could only put it aside for now, nodded and said: "Go ahead and monitor closely."
"Do you want to add something to his diet?" Eunuch Yang asked.
"Don't provoke him easily." Zhu Gaosui shook his head decisively and said: "Since he has entered the cage obediently, it's better for everyone to live in peace..." In a flash of thought, Zhu Gaosui had already thought clearly, leaving Wang Xian to attract everyone's attention.
It was just convenient for me to do something secretly. It was more cost-effective than taking the risk of killing Wang Xian and enduring an unpredictable crisis.
Eunuch Yang was about to say something else when he suddenly heard a surprise scream from the royal concubine inside the curtain: "The emperor is awake!"
When King Zhao heard this, he waved his hand to signal Eunuch Yang to retreat, and hurriedly passed through the layers of curtains and ran to the emperor's bed.
Sure enough, Zhu Di opened his right eye, his eyes slowly moved, and the right half of his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something. But the emperor's entire left side did not move at all...
"Your Majesty, it's better to take a quick rest. It's not too late to wait until everything is done." Wang Guifei hurriedly wiped away her tears and advised.
However, Zhu Di ignored Wang Guifei and struggled to squeeze out a few unclear bytes through his teeth: "Zhang Hu... can you send someone?"
Everyone was stunned and didn't know what the emperor was talking about. King Zhao understood it first and asked in a deep voice: "Father, do you want to ask how Zhang Fu was defeated?"
Zhu Di nodded slightly with difficulty, obviously King Zhao was right.
"Reporting to my father, the British prince was in the army for too short a time, the officers and soldiers were unwilling to truly serve, and there were obvious signs of betrayal. How could Zhang Fu be undefeated?" King Zhao said sadly: "The detailed battle report sent later said,
At that time, the British Duke received intelligence that the White Lotus Army was out in force to attack Qingzhou City. However, through their movements, the British Duke concluded that their target was Jining. He quickly sent a message to Zheng He's Ministry guarding the Grand Canal, asking them to strengthen
He was on alert and at the same time led 10,000 troops to try to reinforce Jining. However, the White Lotus Army was very cunning. When they learned that the British Duke had sent troops, they immediately changed direction with the intention of destroying the British Duke's army first!"
"The armies of both sides encountered each other on the way. The British took their 5,000 troops as the vanguard, and the former Shandong Dusi's 5,000 troops came to the rear and started a fierce battle with the White Lotus Army. Seeing that they were about to defeat the enemy, the White Lotus Army suddenly came out from behind.
, the five thousand soldiers and horses at the rear collapsed without a fight and disappeared without a trace. The British army was attacked from both sides and was outnumbered. In order to avoid the annihilation of the entire army, they had no choice but to retreat to Jinan..."
Zhu Di's dull face showed a look of sullenness, and he raised his voice and screamed: "Where is Xi Zai?"
"Is your father asking about now?" Zhu Gaosui's expression darkened and he whispered: "After repelling the British Duke, the White Lotus Army united and besieged Jining City. The troops guarding the Grand Canal resisted desperately and were basically exhausted.
At the end of the day, Jining City is in danger..." In order to comfort the emperor, Zhu Gaosui hurriedly added: "However, Qingzhou City is still in the hands of the imperial court. After discussing with several academicians, I have boldly sent a letter to the imperial court to urge the army in Qingzhou to provide support.
Jining City..."
"It's no use..." Zhu Di snorted angrily, and the saliva dripped down his cheek. Wang Guifei quickly wiped him away with a handkerchief. Zhu Di couldn't care so much anymore, and hissed with difficulty: "Hurry...
...Let Liuxing go back..."
"What do you mean by the father, let Liu Sheng return to Shandong immediately?" Zhu Gaosui understood more and more quickly.
The emperor winked and said that he was right.
"In addition, forgive the Buddha..." After saying this, Zhu Di closed his eyes, and a drop of turbid tears flowed down the corner of the emperor's eyes.
"Yes." Zhu Gaosui is so smart that he naturally knows that this is the easiest way to eliminate the current chaos. The reason is very simple. The reason why Shandong is in chaos again is just because the emperor transferred Wang Xian and Liu Sheng back to the capital and tried to arrest Fo
Mother, there will be such a rebound. As long as Zhu Di can swallow his anger and stop trying to subvert the situation in Shandong, the situation in Shandong will naturally return to its past...
"Then... how should we deal with the Mongolian cavalry in Cangzhou and the Duoyan tribe outside Shanhaiguan?" In fact, King Zhao should not ask these questions, but King Zhao wanted to take advantage of the absence of the prince and grandson to establish himself as the spokesperson of the emperor.
If you want to maintain your image, you must go beyond the power of others and firmly hold the right to ask for instructions and reports in your own hands.
"Send someone to Cangzou...tell those Mongolian silvers that I will arrange a ship to send them back to Liaodong..." Zhu Di really didn't want to say a word, but these decisions were really only made by him.
"Yes, I will immediately send people to Cangzhou to pass the decree to those Mongols." Zhu Gaosui paused and said: "My son suggested that at the same time, the decree should be sent to the Duoyan tribe outside the pass and order them to retreat immediately, then we can get
Return to your own people. Otherwise, the imperial court will behead all those Mongolian cavalry! I believe they will be afraid of the emperor’s power and hurry up to be merciful.”
Zhu Di still didn't open his eyes, but nodded slightly, obviously agreeing.
"Also." Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but become more excited when he saw that the emperor had acquiesced to his status of uploading and issuing orders, and wanted to ask for instructions again.
"King Zhao, Your Majesty has just woken up. It's not advisable to work too hard." Wang Guifei couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted King Zhao.
"Your Majesty, I also feel sorry for the emperor, but when it comes to the country, I must ask for the Holy Will. I'll make a long story short." King Zhao respectfully let Wang Guifei touch a soft nail, and then said directly to the emperor: "There is also Mrs.
Please let me know from your Majesty the Emperor about His Highness Sun’s disappearance in Hetao.”
"No... don't care..." Zhu Di hissed with deep disappointment on his face.
"Father, please rest first. We will talk about this matter after our father's dragon body has recovered a little." King Zhao bowed and retired. It seemed that Wang Guifei's words had an effect, but in fact he was worried that Zhu Di would pass the order when he lost his temper.
If the grandson returns to the capital, it will be very bad for his important affairs...
King Zhao walked out of the inner palace, and the princes who were waiting anxiously in the outer palace hurriedly gathered around and asked: "Your Majesty, how is the emperor?"
"Thanks to the great blessings of our ancestors, our father is awake." King Zhao said with red eyes and a sober look on his face.
"Great! Thank God!" The princes were relieved, and Zhu Yong said to Eunuch Yang who was at the door: "Eunuch Yang, please let me know, I will go to the emperor to say hello before he goes to bed!"
"This..." Eunuch Yang looked at King Zhao, remembering the previous agreement between the two, and looked confused: "The emperor has just woken up, and his condition is not very good. The imperial concubine does not allow anyone to disturb him."
"Yes, everyone, I have told my father that you have been waiting outside for a day and a night." King Zhao said warmly: "The emperor is aware of your loyalty. Please go back and rest first."
"Eunuch Yang, we have urgent military matters and we need to ask the emperor for instructions. We can't delay for a moment." Although Yang Shiqi hasn't figured out King Zhao's plan yet, his profound political wisdom told him that at this time, whoever is closer to the emperor will be closer to him.
Take the initiative. So he insisted on seeing the emperor.
"Haha, Bachelor Yang, don't make it difficult for Eunuch Yang." King Zhao did not let Eunuch Yang hold the vat this time, and said with a smile: "When my father woke up just now, he had already explained everything to be done. Yang
Just ask me, the bachelor."
Yang Shiqi suddenly became alert. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression returned to normal immediately. He said calmly: "That's fine. May I ask, Your Majesty, what is the Emperor's will?"
"The first decree is to immediately send a decree to Anyuan Hou Liu Sheng to return to Shandong and regain military power." King Zhao said solemnly: "The second decree is to be sent to Cangzhou immediately, ordering those Mongolians not to act rashly, and the imperial court will arrange ships to send them away
They returned to Liaodong. The third order was to be immediately sent outside Shanhaiguan, ordering the Duoyan tribe to retreat immediately, so that they could get their own people back. Otherwise, the imperial court will behead all those Mongolian cavalry!"
"According to the order." After seeing King Zhao finish speaking, Yang Shiqi bowed to accept the emperor's order, and then asked calmly: "Your Majesty, does the emperor have any other orders?"
"Oh, by the way, and... pardon the Buddha Mother." King Zhao sighed and said, "In order to stabilize the situation in Shandong, this is the only way."
"According to the decree." This is what the title is supposed to mean. Returning Liu Sheng to Shandong signifies that the imperial court accepts the current situation of Shandong being divided from the White Lotus Sect. In any case, in a short period of time, there is nothing that can be done against the Buddha Mother, so it is not as good as
Forgive her quickly to avoid embarrassment.
"Is there any more?" Yang Shiqi asked again after receiving the order.
"No more." King Zhao said: "The emperor only has these four wills."
"Then I still have to go in," Yang Shiqi said sternly: "This is a matter of national importance. Even if I am punished by the empress for my sacrifice, I still have to ask the emperor what he wants."
"I asked..." How could King Zhao be so easy to get along with? He still stood firmly in front of Yang Shiqi and said in a deep voice: "Father, there are only two words, no matter what."
"Are you ignoring His Highness the Grand Sun or His Highness the Crown Prince?" Yang Shiqi's eyes turned cold and he looked at King Zhao critically.
"I don't care." King Zhao also looked at Yang Shiqi coldly and responded firmly.
Even a blind person can see that the smell of gunpowder between the two is getting stronger and stronger. All the princes are top-notch people, and they immediately know what these two are fighting about. They all stare at the two, thinking in their hearts how to deal with it.
"Whether you are a grandson or a prince, they are the foundation of a country. How can you ignore it?" Yang Shiqi stared at King Zhao closely and said proudly: "Your Highness, please give way. I will go in and risk my life to remonstrate!"
