Why Zhu Yong was so grateful to Wang Xian was very simple. When Wang Xian reported to the emperor, he did not expose his shortcomings. Instead, he discussed him with Liu Sheng and Xue Lu, and gave the emperor the same reaction from the three of them.
Impression. In this way, Zhu Yong hesitated in front of the will, almost killed Wang Xian, and ruined the emperor's important affairs. Zhu Di was completely overshadowed.
Therefore, after the event, Zhu Yong, Liu Sheng, and Xue Lu were rewarded by Zhu Di at the same time. This time they were on duty as imperial guards, and the emperor only asked them to take charge of them. This showed that the three of them were the most trusted by the emperor.
of the ministers.
Zhu Yong couldn't imagine what would happen to him if Wang Xian reported the truth truthfully or even added fuel to the fire. He probably wouldn't have an attack for a while, but he would definitely not trust him again.
Therefore, Zhu Yong was grateful to Wang Xian, and he was grateful to him for ignoring his past grievances and covering up his mistakes. He said to himself that no wonder the second son of the Zhang family was determined to hang out with him. It turns out that this guy is really loyal!
Let's not talk about the gratitude of Duke Cheng. Let's just talk about Wang Xian being carried into the palace. He saw Zhu Di wearing a casual robe, sitting on a recliner, with a white bandage exposed at the open collar.
Wang Xian hurriedly stood up, and with Zhu Zhanji's support, he knelt down to worship Emperor Yongle.
"Excuse me." Zhu Di looked at Wang Xian's pale face and said with a smile, "We are all in the same boat, so please sit down."
"I don't dare, as a minister." Wang Xian hurriedly declined. In front of the emperor, ministers had to kneel, and only important ministers could stand up after kneeling. As for those who could get a seat, they were either seventy or eighty years old, trembling, or
He is a favorite like Zhang Fu. With Wang Xian's seniority and age, he has to kneel down honestly.
"Let you sit down." Zhu Di waved his hand, and eunuch Li Yan moved a chair with a backrest. "Firstly, you are injured like this, and secondly, you also saved me."
Hearing what the emperor said, Wang Xian felt relieved. Even if he turned his back like a book, he would not kill himself. After thanking him for his kindness, Wang Xian sat down, and Zhu Zhanji stood next to him. The situation was very strange.
"Your Majesty's dragon body is getting better now." Wang Xian said hello.
"Hey, I'm getting old..." Zhu Di said sadly: "In those days, this little injury would have been nothing." Wang Xiangang was about to comfort the emperor, but he heard Zhu Di say: "I did a set of Tai Chi this morning.
I feel like I can’t exert any energy when punching.”
"..." Damn Wang Xian, you are always so injured that you almost died of shock. It has only been less than half a month since you were able to go to the ground to box. Are you still old? "Your Majesty is really a dragon and a tiger. Although I have
Even when you are young, you feel inferior to yourself."
"We can compare with Grandpa Huang," Zhu Zhanji's flattery also came out of his mouth: "Grandpa Huang is a sage born once in a thousand years, and is protected by gods."
"Fart." Zhu Di laughed loudly, accidentally pulling on the wound, his brows were twitching, and his voice was trembling: "My body is the result of hard work on the battlefield. After being injured a lot, I will get used to it. How can I
What god... protects the body..." After saying these words, Zhu Di broke out in sweat...
When Wang Xian saw it, he understood. He thought to himself that the emperor was bragging, and he was still boxing like this. An IV drip was enough. But he couldn't tell, so he sang with Zhu Zhanji and flattered Zhu Di, making Zhu Di smile.
I can't feel the pain from the wound anymore.
While they were talking and laughing, Zhu Di suddenly said: "Lin San, who are you?"
Wang Xian's smile stopped suddenly, and the atmosphere in the hall plummeted to freezing point.
"Grandpa Huang..." Zhu Zhanji whispered.
"Don't talk." Zhu Di stared at Wang Xian with a pair of gloomy eyes.
"Lin San is my nephew and my brother." Wang Xian said quickly and calmly.
"Hey..." Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but sigh. In fact, before coming in, he had told Wang Xian to try to distance himself from Lin San, but obviously, this guy was so stubborn that even eight cows couldn't pull him back.
"Do you agree that the family comes first, or do you believe that brothers come first?" Zhu Di asked quietly.
"Recognize brothers first." Wang Xian has his own insistence, that is, he values brotherhood. He does not allow anyone to tarnish this friendship, including himself. Even if Lin San has passed away and he is facing a life-and-death crisis, he
He was also unwilling to deny his relationship with Lin San in order to survive.
"As an official of the imperial court and the governor of my Northern Town Fusi, why do you associate with the grandson of Prince Xiao Ming and the young master of the White Lotus Sect?" The chilling look on Zhu Di's face became more and more serious, as if Wang Xian only wanted an answer.
If it's not good, it will be pushed out and click.
Under the emperor's prestige, Wang Xian was very nervous. Not to mention, even Zhu Zhanji felt suffocated.
"I was not an official of the imperial court at that time, and I didn't know that he was from the White Lotus Sect." Wang Xian made up his mind not to hide a single word. He wanted to tell the truth, and he could be beaten or killed. So, he returned from the Northern Expedition.
During the Hangzhou Provincial Examination, he was framed by Jin Yiwei and met Lin San, who was also in prison. He talked about how the two cooperated and established friendship because of their common enemy - Jin Yiwei; when he talked about Ji Gang sending Lin San to assassinate him, but Lin San showed mercy.
; Talking about Lin San revealing his identity to himself, saying that he no longer wants to go against the court and wants his brothers to have a peaceful life... until this time, the assassination of Nanhaizi.
During the narration, Brother Lin's burly figure, heroic demeanor, soaring loyalty, and peerless skills appeared in front of Wang Xian again and again, making him burst into tears again and again...
Even Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji were secretly heartbroken by the extraordinary man Wang Xian told about, saying in their hearts: 'No wonder Wang Xian is possessed by a demon. Being able to be brothers with such a person is really a worthwhile life.'
After Wang Xian finished speaking, he said softly: "This is what happened. I know the crime, and I let the emperor handle it."
"Well, that's it." Zhu Di felt a little disappointed, feeling quite sorry that the Ming Dynasty had lost such a glorious period. After being lost for a while, he looked at Wang Xiandao: "You are indeed guilty. As the governor of Beizhen Fusi, you actually
There is no distinction between public and private affairs, so how can I rest assured and give you a heavier burden?"
"Yes, I am aware of my guilt, uh..." Wang Xian's heart was sinking, and he thought to himself that it seemed that he had not eaten anything good, but he was stunned when he heard the emperor's change of subject.
"Haha," Zhu Zhanji also breathed a sigh of relief. Since the emperor said this, the worst is no reward and no punishment. It is really the best. "My grandson also said the same about him, he is too loyal. He must change in the future!
"
"Loyalty is not a bad thing," Zhu Di shook his head and sighed sadly: "I originally thought that the most important thing for a minister is loyalty. For the sake of loyalty, all moral and humane feelings must be put aside. Such a minister
Only then can we be reliable." As he said that, the emperor's eyes showed pain. "That's why I used people like Chen Ying and Ji Gang. They are all ruthless people. As long as I give an order, let alone my friend H.
My father, I, and my mother will be killed as well..."
Obviously, Ji Gang's rebellion was a big blow to Emperor Yongle. Seeing the emperor criticizing himself, Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanji dared not interrupt, so they could only listen obediently. "I once thought that that was loyalty.
Such ministers are not worried about betrayal." As he spoke, Zhu Di laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous. No matter how close the emperor is to his ministers, can they be compared to other people's relatives and friends? What if the ministers can even be close to their relatives and friends?
If you betray me, how can you end up with the emperor?"
Wang Xianxin said, you have finally figured out this simple truth. But he definitely did not mean to laugh at Zhu Di. After looking through the history books, most emperors could not recognize this until their death - because when they were emperors, their emotional intelligence basically remained at a loss.
When I was two or three years old, I thought that the world revolved around me, and that I was naturally above everything else in everyone's heart.
Being able to clearly understand one's own position in people's hearts is such a painful realization for a self-centered emperor... But if one fails to realize this, he is basically insulated from the Mingjun.
"So grandson, it is better to use courtiers who are humane." Zhu Di educated Zhu Zhanji. "Only those who are humane can express feelings. Only when you are good to him will he repay your kindness. Humane is impersonal."
If you want something, let it roll as far away as possible!"
"Keep your grandson in mind." Zhu Di's words also had a great impact on Zhu Zhanji. Having received traditional imperial education since childhood, Zhu Zhanji often focused on the dark side of people. Zhu Di's words gave him a deep feeling.
I opened a window and let the sunshine in...
Wang Xian was also determined. He knew that he had done the right thing. If he followed Zhu Zhanji's previous advice and desperately tried to distance himself from Lin San, Emperor Yongle would definitely be disgusted.
"Wang Xian," Zhu Di's voice brought Wang Xian back to his senses, and he heard the emperor ask slowly: "What reward do you want?"
'Xu Miaojin...' Wang Xian almost blurted out these three words, but fortunately he did not lose his mind and reined himself in: "After all, I was wrong and I didn't dare to ask for a reward. If I can avoid being punished, I will be satisfied."
"Hey," Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "You came thousands of miles to save me and my grandson. If I don't reward you, wouldn't it be a chill in people's hearts... Who will stand up for the emperor in the future?"
"Yes." Zhu Zhanji was so happy that he said from the side: "Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. The emperor wants rewards and punishments, so we can all accept them happily."
"That's the truth." Zhu Di nodded and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"That's what I said..." Wang Xian gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I ask the emperor to send troops quickly to save the soldiers in Zhenjiang City!"
As soon as Wang Xian finished speaking, Zhu Zhanji felt hot in his heart and said to himself: "What does it mean to be humane? This is called being humane. This brother of mine is really... too humane." He said in his heart that I would not follow him.
The dead man is jealous... In fact, Zhu Zhanji reacted so strongly to Lin San's matter, to a large extent, because he felt that Wang Xian had more feelings for Lin San than for himself...
"Is this the reward you want?" Zhu Di squinted his eyes, half-smiling.
