On the tray was a huge sea bowl, which contained at least twenty kilograms of wine.
Zhu Zhantan brought the tray to Zhu Gaoxu and knelt down on one knee.
The King of Han glanced at everyone again. This time, he was less threatening and more enthusiastic. He said in a passionate voice: "Become an alliance with me through blood today, and I will share the world with you in the future."
"I dare you to be so disrespectful?" Zhu Gaoxu's generals responded excitedly, and Fuyang Marquis Li Maofang also shouted. Although the others also opened their mouths, they were not so loud.
Zhu Gaochi knew that he was pushing too hard, and these people still couldn't turn around, but that was his style. Talking to each other one by one, that was what Zhu Gaochi, the loser, was good at. He raised his hand with an expressionless expression.
With the unsheathed sword, he lightly touched his left hand, and blood flowed into the bowl.
After his father took away his hand, Zhu Zhantan came to Wang Ning with the wine bowl again. Wang Ning saw that it was not enough for him to express his position, and he had to make an alliance with blood. His whole intestines turned blue with regret, but he knew very well that if he didn't
Because of this blood, Zhu Gaoxu had to bleed him...
Wang Ning was now riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he had no choice but to pick up the dagger on the tray, imitate the King of Han, cut his hand, and sprinkled the blood into the bowl.
Then came Song Hu and Li Maofang, both of whom bled happily. Li Maofang was so excited that he almost cut his artery and died...
After the nobles wiped out their blood, it was Ji Gang and Zhuang Jing, and then the Han King's generals, so it was no problem. When the sea bowl was brought back to Zhu Gaoxu, the wine was already thick and scarlet.
Zhu Gaoxu picked up the big bowl with both hands, first poured a small amount of it into the ground, then raised the bowl and took a swig, and then handed it to Wang Ning. Wang Ning sighed secretly in his heart, drank too, and then passed it on in turn, waiting for the final turn.
, when the bowl was delivered to the King of Han, it was already empty.
Zhu Gaoxu was holding the empty big bowl, with blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth. He stepped on the chair with one foot and said angrily: "Today, those who shed blood are brothers of life and death. If there is a negative relationship, then this is the bowl." As he said this, he put the big bowl in his hand hard
He threw it hard to the ground with a crisp sound and was shattered into pieces.
Everyone was in awe, and they all knelt down to the King of Han and said, "We will follow you to the death."
"Haha, it's good." Zhu Gaoxu was in a good mood, completely different from the angry and sad look just now. After all, powerful people are all good actors, even men like the King of Han are no exception. He helped Wang Ning and Ji Gang
He stood up and laughed loudly and said: "With your support, nothing can be done."
"Yes, yes..." Wang Ning had a smile on his face, but wailed in his heart, okay, just jump directly from revenge to becoming a big deal. But at this time, the whole hall was filled with fanaticism, and he had to pretend
Pretend to be a supporter.
Regardless of whether it is to catch a duck on the shelf or whatever, everyone is considered to be on the pirate ship, so the next step is to discuss how to deal with this important matter.
Everyone here is a martial artist, and naturally they are not good at coming up with ideas or using their brains, so they all turned their attention to Master Zhuang, who was known as the "Sister Zhuge".
Zhuang Jing coughed and spoke without hesitation: "Then I'm just trying to attract others. If the prince wants to replace him, he can only use three words: waste, poison, and kill."
"Waste, poison, kill?" Li Maofang laughed when he heard this and said, "Master, aren't poison and killing the same thing?"
"Of course it's not the same thing." Zhuang Jing said with a smile: "The poison made that person die in an unknown way. As long as it was done by Yu Jing, no one can say it was Prince Yu. The killing was done by taking his head in broad daylight."
, no matter how hidden you are, you can't hide it from the world..."
"Well, that makes sense." Li Maofang nodded and thought for a moment, "Supposedly poison is better, but what's the point of that?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked and thought, why is this Marquis so stupid? Is it possible to rebel with such a guy?
"Why, did I say something wrong?" Seeing everyone's gaze, Li Maofang muttered: "My uncle is upright and upright, and using such a shameful method as poisoning really damages the image of a hero..."
"Shut up!" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't bear it any longer and glared at this 250-year-old nephew. Li Maofang was so frightened that he shrank his neck and then stopped.
"Master, you might as well talk about it one by one," Zhu Gaoxu withdrew the topic and said, "How about we first talk about how to abolish the law?"
"Abolition is the best policy, but it is the hand of the false emperor. The prince will not be involved in the cause and effect. In the future, the country will be stable and the saint's name will be famous. This is the best way." Zhuang Jing said.
"Everyone knows this truth. I have always wanted to use this method to kill each other. After all, it is not a good thing." Zhu Gaoxu said in a dull voice: "But, over the years, so many times, I have been about to lose the boss, but I always
I was stunned to let him escape at the critical moment. Let’s just say this time..." At this point, he suddenly realized that many people present were not involved in the original plan, although there was nothing to keep secret from them.
, but there is really no need to mention this scandalous thing of shooting oneself in the foot. In the end, it turned into a sigh: "Hey..."
"What the prince said is that the reason why this superior policy is difficult to implement is that on the one hand, the prince is too good at pretending to be patient and does not show any flaws, but more importantly, the emperor is rigidly adhere to the principle of "ordering the elders and younger ones." This is not the same as
At that time, Emperor Taizu was rigid about "establishing direct descendants," which was exactly the same thing." Zhuang Jing picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said: "In the heart of the emperor, nothing is more important than the eternal kingdom, so they would rather ignore their emotions and ability to maintain that system.
Etiquette. If you want the emperor to change his ways, you must make the prince commit a great act of immorality, unfilial piety, and disobedience..."
"This is too difficult." Song Hu, who had been silent all the time, said in a dull voice: "The prince's side are all scholars, and our side are all warriors. When it comes to playing tricks, how can we be opponents? So every time we calculate the results of others,
It’s often the opposite of being calculated.”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded with deep understanding. After what happened in Tongzhou, he had completely despaired of plotting. The situation of a certain death could be reversed by the opponent. He felt that if he continued to plot, he would be humiliating himself.
Zhuang Jing saw that everyone had lost confidence in the first one, so he had to jump to the second one: "The second method is poison. This method is the shortest way and has less worries. Although it is inevitable that there will be some arguments, but
It doesn’t matter after all, it’s a good idea.”
"This is a good idea." Ji Gang said: "I can't count the number of emperors who have been poisoned to death since ancient times, but those who killed the kings are in power and happy. What's more, the boss is not the emperor..."
"Well." Wang Bin, Zhu Gaoxu's subordinate, still had some sense, and said: "If the situation was not so tense, this method would be feasible. But now that the two sides are at war, and the prince said something like a declaration of war, I am afraid that the prince will definitely
Take strict precautions, I'm afraid it's not that easy to poison."
"That's right, the boss, that loser, is most greedy for life and afraid of death." Zhu Gaoxu said in a dull voice: "That time he came to visit me after I was assassinated, and he didn't even dare to take a sip of the water in my house. I heard that his house also followed the example of the palace.
, it is very difficult for a palace official who has a food and drink tasting to use this method."
"Can you ask the Marquis of Yongchun to come forward and invite him to the banquet? How about we start at the banquet?"
Hou Wangning cursed in his heart and wished he could strangle this bastard to death.
"This is a bad idea. If someone dies in the palace, it's better to just use the knife." Li Maofang said disdainfully.
Uncle Yongxin was hit with a problem as soon as he opened his mouth, and he couldn't help but feel very angry. However, the other party had a higher title than him and was closer to the King of Han than him, so he could only stop talking.
"This is actually a good idea." Ji Gang supported Xu Cheng and said, "It doesn't have to be in the palace to make a deal. You can also find a job or get a boat on the Qinhuai River. You don't have to poison or light a fire.
Capsizing a boat can also cause people to die inexplicably." As expected of a spy chief, he talks about the methods of killing people.
"Well, that's right." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "Lao Ji can prepare a few plans, and when the time comes we will act according to the situation." He paused and said: "But no matter whether it ends up setting fire, flooding or stabbing, we must firmly control the capital.
defense."
"Your Majesty, you are right. No matter what method you use, success will be the best. As far as the matter is concerned, the student thinks there are three things that need to be done urgently." Zhuang Jing held out three fingers and said.
"Speak." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.
"First of all, the governor's office of the five armies must be controlled by reliable people. Even if it cannot be used by me, at least it can maintain neutrality." Zhuang Jing said solemnly. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, a governor's office was set up to take charge of the military.
In order to decentralize power, Emperor Zu changed the general governorship into five military governorships: center, left, right, front and rear, which were respectively in charge of the capital and local armies. Although in theory, each prefecture has the power to control the military and the power to mobilize troops lies with the Ministry of War.
But those in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were all Jingnan heroes, so how could they take the Ministry of War seriously? The soldiers only recognized the generals, not the Ministry of War. Of course, the greatest general in the Ming Dynasty was none other than Emperor Zhu Di. The soldiers were completely determined
Being loyal to the military god emperor, no general dared to act recklessly.
Although Zhu Gaoxu is the second-ranking figure in the military, he does not expect that many troops will be at his disposal while his father is still alive. However, he must ensure that the 600,000 troops stationed in the capital will not cause trouble even if they do not help.
It can still be done.
"There is no need to worry about this prince." Wang Ning was finally able to speak: "I, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, have deep feelings for the prince, and their closeness is far beyond that of the prince. Even if we do not help the prince, at least we will strictly maintain neutrality."
In fact, he is showing that he is much closer to you than the prince in my heart. I will definitely not help the prince when the time comes, but please let me strictly maintain my neutrality, okay?
Zhu Gaoxu, however, pretended to be confused and thought to himself: "The three princes are in charge of the front, middle and back governor's offices, so there is no problem. Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Xingzu, who is in charge of the left army governor's office, is my strong sponsor for Cai Sijue. Today he
I went to Jiangbei for inspection, otherwise I would come here, there is only the Youjun Governor's Mansion... That is Xue Laoliu's territory, I have never been able to get involved."
