Chapter 101 The iron and copper walls make you unable to advance or retreat
Everyone knows that Duke Cheng Guo was highly valued and loved by the late emperor. It was extremely rare for other military generals to get a count title when their hair turned gray after years of fighting, but Duke Cheng Guo got the duke title when he was in his prime and nouveau riche.
"In the beginning, this matter was not so much the result of the late emperor's efforts to overcome the objections of others, but rather the fact that the prince tried his best to help."
Huang Cheng's study room was once again full of guests, beauties and maids shuttled among them, and the aroma of wine, tea, balsam, and powder was mixed and intoxicating.
After Huang Cheng sat alone for a few minutes, he slowly drank a cup of tea and said.
"I know this." A man hurriedly raised his wine glass and said, "I was present when the prince gave advice to the late emperor in the imperial study room."
"Yes, I have also heard that the late emperor and the prince had a dispute because of this matter. The prince looked weak and gentle, but was also extremely stubborn. They quarreled with the late emperor. The late emperor got angry and picked up an inkstone and threw it at him. The prince's head was even broken.
Already." Another man quickly pushed away the maid next to him and said before he could speak.
Huang Cheng nodded with a smile and drank the tea in one gulp.
"Yes, the prince is frail and sick, but he has a heroic heart." He said with some recollection, "The heroic spirit of the founding emperor is a blessing to the country. It is not good for the emperor who keeps his career to be too heroic. Take a look, first
I spent all my efforts and died."
Everyone present laughed.
"So this is the Lord chosen by Heaven." Everyone said one after another.
Huang Cheng raised his tea cup.
"Come, come and wish the Lord Ming Dynasty." He smiled and said, "Wish me a prosperous and prosperous Great Zhou Dynasty."
Everyone raised their glasses, smiled and congratulated Long Live.
"It is the crown prince's contribution to the title and reward. Later, Duke Chengguo was able to dominate the north with one hand because of the prince's protection." Huang Cheng put down the tea cup and continued, "The prince often told the late emperor that he would not accept the orders of the foreign kings, and he also did so many times.
I reprimand the imperial censor not to sit back and forget about your worries, only focusing on party fighting and not caring about the overall situation of the country."
Speaking of which, the prince and the late emperor had not passed away for ten years. Most of the people here had already entered the officialdom at that time, or some of them had low-level positions and had never been in contact with the prince and the late emperor, but they all knew about the style of the prince and the late emperor.
Thinking back on it now, I feel a little confused.
"It's okay not to talk about these old things." Someone said, feeling a little uncomfortable for no reason.
Huang Cheng smiled.
"Yes, we don't need to talk about old things, but we can't forget them." He said, "The prince has passed away, and King Huai is haunted by evil spirits. We all feel very sad, and Duke Cheng Guo must be even more worried about him, right?"
Talk and smile.
"After all, Duke Cheng Guo is a man who loves the common people as his son. He would rather sacrifice his life to protect the common people, let alone the son of the former crown prince who has received favors."
"Yeah, it's such a hot day. If you send it to the imperial mausoleum without anyone to take care of it, I don't know if it can survive the summer." A man shook his head and sighed.
"So what? There's nothing the emperor can do. It's not a disease. Just ask a doctor or a miraculous doctor to take a look at it." Another person also shook his head and said, "What is he objecting to? Is he trying to accuse the emperor of wanting to harm King Huai?"
"
Several people looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"What if Duke Cheng Guo doesn't object?" a man said suddenly as he thought of something.
The room was quiet for a moment.
"That's nothing. Duke Cheng Guo is nothing more than that. No matter how much favors you give to such a person, he is just an immature dog." Huang Cheng said, "Using King Huai to make everyone realize this is a waste of money."
It worked.”
They have nothing to lose anyway.
Everyone looked at each other.
"But there is still a key question." A man said with a frown.
Just as I opened my mouth, someone hurried in.
"Sir," he said with a salute, "the Crown Prince Cheng Guo is outside Prince Huai's Mansion."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the room looked nervous.
"This is the most ridiculous person."
"If he breaks in forcefully and his father is protecting him, he can just be beaten and locked up for a random act, but he can't be killed."
"Let the younger one take the lead and the older one be the backer. This is not the first time that father and son have done this."
"Too shameless."
Everyone said it one after another.
The visitor hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt everyone.
"However," he continued, "Jin Yiwei blocked it."
These words made everyone startled again.
"Can you block it?" a man asked subconsciously.
The visitor nodded.
"I would rather die than retreat," he said.
Such a strict order, everyone present looked at each other with expressions of surprise, as if they didn't even believe it themselves.
Huang Cheng laughed.
"Go and bring the good soup cooked on the stove to Princess Jiuli." He said, smiling again, "Also, tell Mr. Lu that there is no need to worry about King Huai. His Majesty is kind, even if it comes
The imperial mausoleum will also take good care of King Huai."
Even if the emperor doesn't want to, he will convince the emperor to take care of it. Huang Cheng is a man of his word. Since Lu Qianhu borrowed his carriage, he has to pay it back. If he borrows it, he will pay it back, so it will not be difficult to borrow it again.
The visitor responded and left.
"Okay, there is no problem with this matter." Huang Cheng said, raising his tea cup to everyone again.
Everyone in the room also hurriedly raised their wine glasses and teacups and smiled again.
"Oh, by the way, Bo Qing, what do you want to say?" Huang Cheng looked at another man.
Just when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by someone.
The man laughed.
"I was about to talk about the concerns of the Crown Prince Cheng Guo." He said, "It seems that I am worrying too much. Your Excellency has already made arrangements."
As he spoke, he raised the wine glass high and leaned over.
"The boss is careful and has no calculations, and the students admire him."
Everyone else also raised their glasses and leaned forward.
"Students admire it."
"I admire you."
After hearing this compliment and seeing everyone in the room bowing their heads, Huang Cheng laughed.
"Lucky, lucky," he said, drinking the tea in one gulp.

………………….
Zhu Zan watched the row of people in front of him fall to the ground, but then he got up frantically and rushed over again, and then saw more Jin Yiwei coming forward.
Different from the fierceness in the past, this time the imperial guards were still fierce, but they all dropped their weapons, and they were in a posture of fighting to the death.
There were already many Jin Yiwei who were seriously injured or knocked unconscious lying on the ground.
Zhu Zan clenched his fists and put one hand on his waist.
Hidden on his back is his usual short knife.
The twilight gradually receded, the night came slowly, and the palace of Prince Huai in front gradually blurred.
Even though it's blurry, it's still close at hand.
Zhu Zan held down the dagger and stepped forward again. Several people rushed out from behind and hugged him.
"Second brother, stop making trouble."
"Stop, this won't work."
Sifeng shouted in a low voice.
Zhu Zan wanted to break away, but the three of them stopped him firmly.
"If you really want to kill a few Jinyi guards, it will be as they wish." Sifeng pressed his shoulder and said urgently, "This is Prince Huai's Mansion, and your crime will be irreversible by then."
"Yes, they are determined not to retreat. Second brother, you can't force your way in." Zhang Baotang also said.
Zhu Zan looked forward with a livid face, his body tensed, but his feet stopped.
Sifeng sighed and winked at Zhang Baotang and others, and everyone carefully let go of their hands.
Zhu Zan did not rush over again.
"Second brother, although this is the prince's palace." Sifeng also looked at Prince Huai's palace, her voice was deep without the laughter of the past, but with a bit of leisurely tone, "However, the emperor is no longer the emperor he once was."
There was a lull in the street.
They didn't move, and the imperial guards over there didn't move either, just like a dark wall piled up in front of them.
"Let's take a long-term view." Sifeng whispered again.
Zhu Zan said nothing, turned around and strode away. (To be continued)
