Facing Zhu Gaoxu's smile, Zhizhou Li Jinhong was a little at a loss for a while.
The official document from the imperial court stated that he was required to stay in the palace of the King of Han in the past few days to protect the safety of the King of Han. It seemed that the smile of the King of Han clearly meant that he was aware of his crisis and had restrained all his usual violence.
However, he didn't know what this vague imperial official document meant. He was only a fifth-rank magistrate of the state. How could he protect the safety of the King of Han even if he stayed in the palace of the King of Han?
Perhaps the letter in your hand is the key.
"Going back to Your Highness, the official document from the imperial court said that the Han Palace may encounter a crisis, and asked me to stay in the Han Palace for the past few days. Wait for the captain in purple to come, and then hand this letter to him. I have been unable to figure it out.
The captain in purple is thoughtful and has unrivaled martial arts skills. With him here to protect His Highness, what use can I, a fifth-grade civil servant, do?" Li Jinhong raised his head and said respectfully.
Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed. The imperial court was indeed aware of his crisis.
"Is this really what the official document says? Who wrote this letter to Captain Ziyi?" Zhu Gaoxu asked with excitement as his depression disappeared.
Li Jinhong said with confusion on his face: "It's strange to say that the official document this time comes from the Ministry of Rites. This letter was also written by Wang Changlian, the Minister of Rites, to the purple-clothed captain. Logically speaking, any crisis in the palace would be caused by the Ministry of War.
Send a letter or mobilize the garrison to come to support, but this time, the Ministry of Rites, which has nothing to do with the matter, sent a letter to Le'an Prefecture. Will the Ministry of Rites be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War in the future? "
"What, this letter was not written by my father?" Staring at the letter in Li Jinhong's hand, Zhu Gaoxu felt disappointed.
Since the Ministry of Rites knew about his crisis, it was impossible for his father not to know about it. Could it be that his father just watched Xiao Chen come to kill him and remained indifferent?
Zhu Gaoxu felt a great sadness in his heart.
By expelling himself from the capital, his father deprived him of the opportunity to compete for the throne. Now, he did not forcibly stop the purple-clothed captain, and did not even write a handwritten letter. It was obvious that he had given up his own life.
What use is there for such a father?
Thinking of this, the anger that Zhu Gaoxu had been suppressing in his heart suddenly burst out. He kicked the solid wood square table placed under the hall in the living room to pieces, then grabbed the chair next to it and smashed it to pieces.
In the hall, sawdust was flying everywhere. Everyone was frightened by this sudden change and was at a loss.
Mo Li had already knelt on the ground. Zhizhou Li Jinhong was holding the letter in his hand, his legs were trembling, and he didn't know what to do.
Only the guard commander Zhang Jian stood motionless in the hall, holding the handle of the knife.
He had long been accustomed to Zhu Gaoxu's rage. But when he was fine just now, he suddenly became like this. It was obviously a shock in his heart.
"Your Highness?" Zhang Jian didn't know how to comfort him, so he just called out softly.
Realizing that at this critical moment, he could not afford to mess up his position first, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly raised his hands, rubbed his face, and then whispered: "I lost control of my mood just now, I'm sorry."
No one in the palace has ever heard this sentence. The King of Han, who had a bad temper and was very murderous, would say sorry in public?
"Your Highness, don't worry. The purple-robed captain is the most powerful captain in Dongchang. As long as he comes, the crisis in the palace will be resolved." Li Jinhong, the governor of the state, hunched over, comforted in a low voice.
Hearing this nonsense, Mo Li and Zhang Jian looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Master Zhizhou is really good at comforting people.
Hearing these words, Zhu Gaoxu was also startled, and then smiled bitterly: "Master Li, do you really think that the purple-clothed captain is here to resolve the crisis in the palace?"
Hearing the King of Han ask himself this, Li Jinhong was even more confused: "Although my subordinates don't know where the crisis in the palace comes from, the reputation of the purple-robed captain has spread throughout the court and the public. As long as he comes, the crisis in the palace will definitely be resolved.
.Your Highness, please don’t worry too much.”
His respectful attitude made everyone want to accuse him, but they couldn't bear it.
"To be honest with Mr. Li, the crisis this time is the captain in purple." Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said with a bitter look on his face.
"What, the crisis is the captain in purple? How could this happen?" Li Jinhong opened his mouth in disbelief, unable to believe his ears.
Xiaowei Ziyi is from Dongchang and is a popular person around the emperor. And the King of Han is the current prince and the emperor's biological son. He traveled across mountains and rivers to Le'an Prefecture just to go against the King of Han?
Since the imperial court already knew about this, why didn't it stop it? Could it be that the letter in his hand was the imperial court's order to the purple-robed captain?
Looking at Zhu Gaoxu in front of him, Li Jinhong didn't know what to say for a moment.
The letter in my hand seems to have become a hot potato, neither holding it nor throwing it away.
My whole body was trembling, and I looked at everyone's faces over and over again. For a moment, I was confused and didn't know what to do.
Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and patted Li Jinhong's shoulder kindly as before: "This matter has nothing to do with you, sir. Just do whatever the court wants you to do."
He turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to the door of the hall. Looking at the dense guards in the yard, Zhu Gaoxu had a trace of indifference on his face.
"Since arriving in Le'an, I have disturbed Mr. Li a lot, and I have killed many prisoners from the state government. Although Mr. Li has not said anything, I know that you must not be able to explain to the court, and I don't know how much it has cost.
How much energy did it take to smooth these things out one by one?"
"This time the imperial court arranged for Mr. Li to come here, there must be the imperial court's intention. As a court official, Mr. Li just needs to follow the instructions. If the palace cannot survive this crisis, the debt owed to you will only be repaid in the next life. If this situation can be resolved,
After this crisis, when I make a comeback, I will definitely remember Mr. Li’s goodness.”
With his back to everyone, Zhu Gaoxi's words seemed to be saying goodbye to the world in advance.
Li Jinhong didn't know how to answer the question, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
Even when a man is about to die, he speaks well. When did the King of Han speak so humbly, and when did he remember the good deeds of others?
If it were another crisis, Li Jinhong believed that with his status as a prince, the King of Han would at least be safe.
But here is the captain in purple.
Some time ago, the prince was taken to Dongchang by him. Now, he has come to Le'an Prefecture again. Maybe the Han Palace will really disappear in Le'an.
With a "crash", the guard commander Zhang Jian did not perform the standard military salute, but knelt down on his knees.
"If something happens to His Highness, even if your subordinates use all the guards in the palace, they will definitely die together with the purple-robed captain."
With his back to everyone, Zhu Gaoxu slowly raised his right hand, seeming to have aged by more than ten years.
"If you still recognize me as the King of Han, no one is allowed to take action, and all guards will be dismissed on the spot!"
