In Qianqing Palace, the atmosphere in the dormitory gradually became less harmonious.
The Tianjia father and his son took a shot at Yunshan, and then they stopped speculating.
Zhu Gaochi finally stopped beating around the bush and looked at Zhu Zhanji and said: "I heard that Beijing has been very uneasy recently, which is related to the misbehavior of Dongchang. I'm not saying that you shouldn't rebuild Dongchang, but you must be more restrained and don't let them interfere. to the normal life of the people.”
"What my father taught me is," Zhu Zhanji nodded, and the next sentence became: "It's just that strong medicines are needed to treat serious illnesses. Now is not the time to restrain Dongchang. The people will inevitably suffer for a while. Let's wait until the overall situation is decided."
"When will the overall situation be decided?" Zhu Gaochi frowned and asked after being pushed back either softly or hard.
"It's almost time." Zhu Zhanji replied: "Dongchang has collected thousands of accusations against Wang Xian, and sorted out twelve unpardonable crimes. I asked them to consolidate the accusations and make sure there is irrefutable evidence. It can be argued." After a pause, he smiled and said: "Then we can announce it to the world and seal the coffin!"
"Hey, why is this..." Zhu Gaochi's expression dimmed and he sighed: "Isn't there a way to relax a little?"
What Zhu Zhanji disliked the most about him was that he wanted to build a memorial arch even after becoming a prostitute! Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, the prince said in a deep voice: "Father, it is about the survival of the country, so there is no need to be merciful!"
"I still think you acted too hastily," Zhu Gaochi frowned and said slowly: "In case, I say just in case, if Wang Xian comes back, I'm afraid he won't give up."
"Father! My son has already removed the Governor's Mansion, arrested and imprisoned all Wang Xian's relatives outside Shandong, and sent people to Hetao to take over the rest of his troops. There is no room for slowdown in this matter. !" Zhu Zhanji said sternly: "We can only use thunderous means to get it to the end, and the overall situation is determined as soon as possible!"
"Hey..." Zhu Gaochi also knew that since he asked Zhu Zhanji to do it, he could only accept his style, and everything he said would be in vain.
The father and son were about to end this meaningless conversation when Zhang Cheng came in to report that Yang Shiqi had something urgent to see.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes, because the emperor was not in charge now, and all military and state affairs were reported to the prince. The prince had only arrived at Qianqing Palace for a while, but Yang Shiqi couldn't wait any longer, and it was obvious that something had happened. What a big deal!
"Hurry up!" Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji said in unison.
Zhang Cheng hurried out, and after a while, he led the frustrated Yang Shiqi in.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji looked at Mr. Fu, who was usually calm and unchanging, but now his face was sallow, his lips were trembling, his steps were staggering, and there were two soil marks on his knees under the official robe. It seems that I got tripped on the way here.
Yang Shiqi knelt down in front of the two masters and opened his mouth several times, but was unable to speak.
"What happened to make Fu panic like this?" Zhu Zhanji wanted to show his composure, so he joked: "Could it be that the sky is falling?"
"Yes, the sky is falling!" Yang Shiqi said as if he were mourning for his heir: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, you must be mentally prepared..."
Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Gaochi and thought, "My father is not dead yet?" Zhu Gaochi thought, "My father has been dead long ago!"
"Tell me! What is going on?!" Zhu Zhanji shouted angrily: "Is there anything else in this world that my father and son cannot handle?!"
"Wang Xian, Wang Xian is not dead yet..." Yang Shiqi said sadly.
"Ah!" Zhu Gaochi's head buzzed and he sat up from the bed in shock. Zhu Zhanji stood up from the Jindun in shock!
"He is indeed not dead..." Zhu Gaochi wailed feebly: "Let me tell you, you are too hasty..."
"What if he comes back?" Zhu Zhanji said with a fierce look in his eyes and gritted his teeth: "It's not like we didn't expect that, we have made complete preparations, and we are still afraid that he will be alone?!"
"He is not alone, there are 60,000 troops..." Yang Shiqi said tremblingly.
"Ah!" Zhu Gaochi's vision went dark when he heard this, he almost fainted, and suddenly fell on the bed again.
Zhu Zhanji also slumped down on the Jindun. He no longer had the arrogance he had just now, shook his head vigorously and said: "How is it possible, how is it possible?!"
"The old minister also thought it was impossible, but he rushed eight hundred miles ahead, saying that Wang Xian destroyed the remnants of the Tatars, captured Arutai and his son, wiped out the three guards of Duoyan, killed Germa in formation, and captured Chakohan and Darhan.
, has led more than 30,000 cavalry, joined with his more than 20,000 infantry, and will arrive at the King's City today..." Yang Shiqi said in a daze, as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime: "Maybe they are teasing the old minister, how could this be possible?
Is it true, is it possible for Wang Xian to master witchcraft? Haha, it’s definitely impossible..."
The person who is most afraid of Wang Xian's return is not Zhu Gaochi and his son, but his cabinet minister...
But Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, father and son, knew very well that the news was definitely correct. Wang Xianzhen had performed a miracle, led his army across the grassland, and came back with murderous intent to launch an army to punish him!
The emperor and his son suddenly remembered that Wang Xian had always been a man capable of creating miracles, but he had been so inconspicuous in recent years that people seemed to have forgotten his glorious achievements in the past.
It's just that this time, it's different from before! In the past, it was all about conspiracy and trickery. As long as he was clever enough, he would naturally have a chance to make a comeback. But this time, it was a battle on the battlefield, with hundreds of thousands of troops fighting with real swords and guns! He
How could he eat up enemies twice his size when his food and grass were cut off and he was surrounded by enemies from both sides?
If the Tatars and Doyans hadn't been wiped out, Arutai, Germa and others were either captured or killed, and no one could escape, the emperor and his son must have thought that they had colluded and acted together.
What a clumsy show!
However, this is not a drama, but a bloody reality...
It took the monarch and his ministers a full hour to accept the fact that Wang Xian had won a great victory and the king had returned. As for how long it would take to digest the impact, it would probably take a long, long time, or even a lifetime.
But the most urgent task is to put all fear and shock behind us and concentrate on figuring out how to deal with the next situation.
Emperor Hongxi was dizzy and coughing again and again. This time he was really not pretending. He felt that he would pass out at any time, but he insisted on holding on. He looked at Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shiqi and said, "What should I do? Do you two have a plan?"
?”
"Father, there is no need to panic," Zhu Zhanji said calmly: "We have made sufficient preparations before. We have set up three lines of defense in Dawangcheng, Xuanda and Juyongguan, with a total of hundreds of thousands of troops, which is enough to resist
Wang Xian’s attack!”
"The Tatars and the Duoyan people both had an army of hundreds of thousands, but they were all eaten clean." Zhu Gaochi was not so easily fooled, and frowned: "What's more, they are all cavalry, and your ten
Tens of thousands of troops, probably nine out of ten infantrymen, how can they stop Wang Xian's army?"
"At least there is the Great Wall." Zhu Zhanji said bravely. He also knew that whether it was King City or Xuanda, they were just cities. If the army did not dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, they could only watch the enemy troops crossing the border. Not to mention the king.
It is not certain whose hands the city will fall into.
"There is only the Great Wall..." Zhu Gaochi sighed and said quietly: "If the Juyong Pass is knocked open, Qingqi can march to the gates of Beijing in one day. We have to consider whether to hold on to Beijing or..." Zhu Gaochi looked at the two of them,
He whispered: "Return the capital to Nanjing."
"Your Majesty! Father!" Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shiqi were both shocked. They did not expect that the emperor would have the idea of moving the capital. Yang Shiqi knew he had made a mistake and had not dared to say anything before. Now he could not hold back and said loudly: "
Your Majesty! That Wang Xian is alone outside, with no territory and no backup. He is a tree without roots and does not pose a fatal threat to us! Moreover, those soldiers may not be willing to fight against the imperial court with him. As long as we take appropriate measures, we can definitely divide his troops.
, greatly weakening his power."
"What you said makes sense!" Zhu Zhanji immediately agreed: "It is too early to discuss moving the capital. We have let the world look down on us, thinking that the emperor is so afraid of Wang Xian that he wants to run away!"
In his desperation, his words were a bit unpleasant. Zhu Gaochi was so angry that he coughed repeatedly, pointed at the two of them and said, "If you hadn't done this so well, why would I have done this?!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are a little inappropriate, but they are correct!" At this moment, Yang Shiqi finally calmed down and said: "Now that Wang Xian's army has not come back, we cannot mess up our position first! We should focus on, see
Let’s see if I can keep him out of his mouth. If not, I’m willing to tie myself up and leave Juyongguan, take all the blame for the crime, and give him bad breath!”
"Hey, what's the use of talking about this now?" Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said bitterly: "I have already said that once this matter comes to light, I will have nothing to do with it." He coughed twice and calmed down.
: "At this point, it's useless to say anything. Let's unite sincerely and face it together!"
"Yes!" Under the heavy pressure, the prince finally stopped arguing with his father and started to share the same hatred.
"You have three things to do," Zhu Gaochi said slowly: "First, announce the news of the great victory. Then, release the prisoners in the imperial prison. Third, restore all the honors and official positions of Wang Xian and others."
"Father!" Zhu Zhanji became anxious and said with a red face: "All our previous efforts have been in vain, and Wang Xian and the others will not appreciate it!"
"Idiot," Zhu Gaochi shook his head slightly and whispered: "I don't expect them to appreciate it. What I want to fight for is the hearts of the people and what I want to win is the truth..."
"Public sentiment? Reason?" Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Shiqi suddenly realized it and said with admiration: "This is the invincible way!"
"What kind of kingly way?" Zhu Gaochi looked full of self-mockery, slowly shaking his head and saying: "How can I have the shame to claim to be kingly way? It's just a shameless method..."
