The imperial court did not block the news about today's incident in the imperial city, so it spread throughout the city in less than a day. Some people said that the nobles led troops to force the palace, but were suppressed by Zhen Guogong who had returned from Jinan, and blood flowed like a river. ; Some people say that the nobles forged the imperial edict in order to support the grandson, but the grandson refused to cooperate, and the nobles shot themselves in the foot; others said that the imperial edict was actually true, but it was too When His Highness Sun saw Wang Xian leading his troops back to Beijing, he did not dare to make any mistakes. He could only kill his Taoist friends instead of the poor Taoists, and let the nobles become scapegoats...
Weird and bizarre claims reached the Taisun's house, making Concubine Hu worried. In addition, the Taisun never returned after going to court. People who inquired about the news reported that His Highness was kneeling outside Qianqing Palace, which made Hu even more afraid. Like an ant on a hot pot, she waited until midnight before her grandson was brought back in a sedan chair. Mrs. Hu hurried to the sedan chair to greet her. When she saw that her grandson was pale and trembling all over, and could no longer walk, Mrs. Hu burst into tears. , and quickly had someone carry him back to the palace.
Zhu Zhanji clenched his teeth and remained silent until he was carefully placed on the soft and comfortable gums, and then he let out a slight moan.
Mrs. Hu carefully rolled up Zhu Zhanji's trousers and saw that his knees were completely black. She couldn't help but take a breath of air and said with tears: "Your Highness has suffered..."
"Don't cry." Zhu Zhan was basically full of anger. Seeing Mrs. Hu crying, he immediately became irritated: "I'm not dead yet..."
The Hu family was an arranged marriage of Emperor Yongle. Back then, in order to prevent his grandson and Wang Xian from forming a nepotistic relationship, Zhu Di forced Zhu Zhanji to marry this woman despite knowing that he liked Yinling. I wish, but I have always treated Mrs. Hu with courtesy after marriage, not because His Highness Taisun is submissive, but because Mr. Hu has a powerful cousin named Hu Hao!
Zhu Zhanji is a very realistic person. When he cannot change the outcome, he will naturally strive for the situation that is most beneficial to him. Although Hu Hao is not as powerful as Wang Xian, he is also one of the world's best martial arts masters and has won the emperor's trust and scheming. His skills and skills are all first-class. Treating Hu kindly and making Hu Hao willing to serve for him became the second best choice for His Highness Taisun.
Mrs. Hu had never been scolded by her grandson like this before. She couldn't help but cry. It was so bad. She felt so wronged. People were worried about you all day long. Why did you yell at them as soon as you came back? You still cried when you saw her. Zhu Zhanji was furious, grabbed something beside the pillow and threw it towards Mr. Hu.
Mrs. Hu didn't respond, so she was hit in the head, and blood started to flow out immediately. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to cry anymore.
With a 'ding-dong' sound, the thing fell to the ground. It turned out to be a bright yellow ring... The eunuch and maid next to her secretly rejoiced that it was a ring. If it had been an iron ball or something, the empress's head would have been shattered. No!
"Take her down quickly to pack a bag." Seeing Mrs. Hu's face covered in blood and dumbfounded, Zhu Zhanji was even more disgusted, thinking that if Yin Ling was here, he would definitely not be so stupid.
The maids helped Mrs. Hu go down, and the imperial doctor hurriedly treated the Taisun's injuries, pushed the palace acupoints, and performed acupuncture and massage. His Highness Taisun's body and mind that had been tortured today finally relaxed, and waves of sleepiness came over him unknowingly. Fell asleep.
But how could he sleep peacefully? One moment, Zhu Zhanji dreamed that he was deposed as a commoner by his father, the next moment, he dreamed that Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, the next moment, he dreamed that Wang Xian was chasing him, the next moment, he dreamed that everyone in the world was there. Laughing at himself... Before dawn, he was tortured by nightmares that made it difficult to sleep. He could not get up or go to the ground, so he could only stare at the tent roof with wide eyes and wait for dawn.
The sad thing is that although he was thinking about it in his dream, His Highness Taisun didn't dare to think about anything after waking up. At least for now, he doesn't have the courage to face this embarrassing life, and he doesn't dare to think about how he played such a good hand of cards.
pulpy.
It was finally dawn when Chen Wu came to report that Hu Hao was here.
Zhu Zhanji asked someone to help him sit up, and then asked Hu Hao to come in.
Hu Hao originally didn't want to be in such a hurry to see his grandson, but when he heard that his niece was beaten by his grandson last night, he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem and hurried over early in the morning.
As soon as Hu Hao entered the room, before he even saluted, he heard Taisun sneer and say: "How dare you come to see me?"
"This...why did Your Highness say this?" Hu Hao was stunned.
"Still pretending to be confused with Gu!" Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and said: "If you and Wang Xian hadn't colluded, how could you have deceived Gu and the British Duke? How could there have been yesterday's disastrous defeat?!" An event that was sure to win, but
In the end, all the underwear was lost. Of course, Zhu Zhanji had to think about which link went wrong?
Wang Xian's crushing power is of course the main reason, but if they didn't believe that he was far away in Wudang Mountain, the British people would not agree to give it a try, and there would be no such fiasco. And the reason why they finally believed that Hu Hao
The flying pigeon's message played a decisive role.
Zhu Zhanji did not expect that Wang Xian had already controlled Hu Yong, so of course he would think that Hu Hao was deceiving him!
"Your Highness, how could a minor minister collude with Wang Xian?" Hu Hao was also puzzled, but at least he knew that he was unjustly accused.
"You are a disciple of Wudang Mountain, and he is Wudang's son-in-law! Of course you may collude!" Zhu Zhanji said coldly.
"Your Highness, how can the niece of a minor minister be your official concubine, collude with Wang Xian, and what good will that do to me?!" Hu Hao couldn't laugh or cry, and kept saying: "Your Highness, please give me some time, I have sent someone back.
Wudang Mountain has verified this matter, and it will take at most a month to figure out what went wrong!"
"..." Zhu Zhanji looked at Hu Hao coldly, and Hu Hao looked at him calmly. Although His Highness Taisun really wanted to kill this man indiscriminately to vent his anger, but once he realized that this man's martial arts skills were too high, he was really
He was so driven that he still didn't know who was going to kill whom? Secondly, after calming down, he also hoped that there would be no problem with Hu Hao. Seeing that he was about to be placed under house arrest, this person's role would become increasingly irreplaceable.
Finally, Zhu Zhanji said, "Okay, I'll give you a month to find out what's going on."
"Yes." Hu Hao also breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Your Highness, according to reliable information, Xue Huan was arrested by Jin Yiwei..."
Zhu Zhanji said with a livid face: "Nonsense!"
"Will this be the beginning of a great prison?" Hu Hao asked softly.
"I don't know..." Zhu Zhanji replied coldly.
Hu Hao complained, knowing that Zhu Zhanji would not say anything more to him before proving his innocence. He could only sigh and bowed out: "Your Highness, please rest, your body is important."
Zhu Zhanji snorted and didn't even look at him...
Fusi Yamen, Jinyiwei North Town.
Wang Xian had not appeared here for a long time, and his arrival caused a sensation. Officials of all sizes in Jinyiwei came over to say hello to their leader.
Wang Xian was still as unassuming as usual. More than half a year of happy life in Shandong had worn away the hostility and gloominess in him. He was now a kind person, smiling at everyone. But no one in the entire Ming Dynasty would dare to look down on him anymore.
Every bit of him, his energy has become so great that he can be on par with the emperor.
Although he hadn't set foot in Beizhen Fusi Yamen for an unknown amount of time, Wang Xian could still call out everyone's name without any difficulty, making all his subordinates burst into tears with excitement and shouting to swear loyalty to the Lord!
If Wu Wei hadn't been unable to stand it anymore, so he lowered his face and drove everyone away, I don't know what extraordinary actions these stupid guys could have done.
Wang Xian also breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his wrinkled robe, smiled bitterly at Wu Wei and said, "It seems it would be better to come less frequently in the future."
"My father-in-law has not been here for more than two years, what more can be done?" Wu Wei said with a straight face, while walking inside with Wang Xian: "You should pay more attention to Beizhen Fusi, everyone here
They are all willing to die for the father-in-law!"
"Why are you so angry? I was just joking." Wang Xian laughed along with him and said, "No one needs to die anymore. From now on, we will live longer and better than anyone else!"
"I hope..." Although Wu Wei is a pessimist and does not believe that the good situation in front of him can last, he will not ruin Wang Xian's happiness now.
The two entered the main hall. The layout and furnishings inside had not changed at all. In the middle of the north side was a tiger-skin-covered Taishi chair. Behind the chair hung a picture of the main hall, on which was written by Wang Xian himself: "Dare to be the first in the world."
Man can conquer nature'! Nine big characters with arrogant teeth and claws.
Looking at this outrageous decoration, Wang Xian coughed awkwardly and said, "Is this... two years ago?"
"It hasn't moved at all. This tiger-skin chair and the inscription written by you are all your idea back then." Wu Wei said calmly.
"Is it my idea?" Wang Xian said as if he wanted to deny the credit: "How could I have such poor taste? You must have made a mistake."
"I have the records of the matters assigned by you that day. If you have any questions, you can check them." Wu Wei said expressionlessly.
"Haha, that's not necessary..." Wang Xian was very bored by this guy who was strict about everything he did, and he was really not in the mood to sit down on that tiger-skin chair, so he smiled and said: "Let's go to your place to talk.
"
Naturally, Wu Wei would not object. The two of them went to Wu Wei's check-in room next door. It was full of files, but they were neatly stacked, and not a single piece of paper appeared where it shouldn't.
"As expected of a Virgo." Wang Xian muttered, sat down on the chair, and began to make tea with skillful hands. Then he poured a cup for Wu Wei and said, "You did a good job this time."
"Your Excellency, you are ridiculous." Wu Wei sat upright and said expressionlessly: "The opponent is just too weak."
"The difficulty this time lies in controlling the details. The heat must be appropriate and the timing must be clever, so as to maximize the conditions for the next step." Wang Xian shook his head and smiled: "It is not easy to be impeccable."
"Your Excellency, you are so complimentary." Wu Wei said the same thing, as if he was dead, with no trace of a smile: "The opponent is just too weak."
