Chapter 1536 Ambition (2)

"According to Weichen's knowledge, in late February last year, the construction of the Shouling Mausoleum of His Royal Highness King Yi started in the Tianshou Mountain area, and it has already reached a large scale," Xu Youzhen said.

The Tianshou Mountain mentioned by Xu Youzhen, formerly known as Huangtu Mountain, is located in Changping, northwest of the capital.After the capital city of the Ming Dynasty was moved to BJ, Tianshou Mountain became the mausoleum of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. The tombs of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi, and Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji were successively completed here.

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then asked: "What is the specification of this Shouling?"

Xu Youzhen didn't know what Zhu Qizhen meant, but she replied truthfully: "Because His Royal Highness King Yi was still the Son of Heaven at that time, the specifications of the Shouling Mausoleum were built according to the emperor's etiquette."

Zhu Qizhen listened, smiled coldly, and said: "He has been deposed as a prince, how can he enjoy such a longevity mausoleum? Xu Aiqing, I plan to destroy this longevity mausoleum, what do you think?"

Xu Youzhen's complexion changed drastically, the meaning of Zhu Qizhen's words could not be more obvious, he clearly did not admit that Zhu Qiyu's younger brother was the emperor.

Xu Youzhen couldn't answer such a serious matter, and while hesitating, Zhu Qizhen said in a deep voice: "Is it not possible?"

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Xu Youzhen was trusted by Zhu Qizhen, and was supported by Dugu Jiutian behind him, but he did not dare to disagree with Zhu Qizhen on some matters, so he hurriedly said: "Since His Royal Highness King Yi has been abolished, and the emperor He is the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, ruling the world. There is nothing wrong with the emperor's decree to destroy Shouling."

Zhu Qizhen was very happy to get Xu Youzhen's approval, and said with a smile: "Xu Aiqing, I knew you would support me."

Xu Youzhen said: "My minister is willing to help the emperor solve his problems." But he thought in his heart: "I thought that the emperor had forgiven him for not killing King Tan. Who would have thought that the emperor would know what the emperor is doing to King Tan after seeing him today?" The hatred has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. King Tan has been emperor for several years, if he heard that he could not be buried in the carefully constructed Shouling, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood and die immediately."

At this moment, another person came from outside the imperial study room.The person who came was not an ordinary eunuch, but Cao Jixiang, the chief eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, both of whom were the supervisors of the East Factory.He brought a "strange" news, and this "strange" news was that Dugu Jiutian was going to see Zhu Qizhen.

Why do you say this news is "strange", because Zhu Qizhen and Dugu Jiutian, one is the emperor of Ming Dynasty and the other is the emperor of Wulin.

In the eyes of outsiders, they should have met a long time ago, but in fact, since Zhu Qizhen regained the throne, Zhu Qizhen and Dugu Jiutian have never met each other, and even oral letters and letters have not been passed.

After listening to Cao Jixiang's report, Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath and thought: "Dugu Jiutian, you old fox is finally here." He waved his hand and sent an order to Dugu Jiutian.

Just as Cao Jixiang exited the imperial study, an old voice came from outside the imperial study: "My humble minister Jiao Zhaolong, come to see the emperor."

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Old Jiao, please come in."

Jiao Zhaolong entered the imperial study room, saluted Zhu Qizhen, saw Xu Youzhen present, frowned slightly, and said: "It turns out that Master Xu is also here, I'm so disrespectful."

Xu Youzhen said: "Don't dare, dare not, it should be that the lower officials are disrespectful."

As he was talking, he observed his words and expressions, and saw that Jiao Zhaolong had something to say to Zhu Qizhen, and he seemed a little ignorant when he was stuck here.Rather than being expelled, it is better to resign, so he said to Zhu Qizhen: "If the emperor has nothing else to do, I will leave now."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "Xu Aiqing go."

As soon as Xu Youzhen left, Jiao Zhaolong took a step forward, with a serious expression on his face, he said: "I heard that Dugu Jiutian is coming to see the emperor, does the emperor really want to see him?"

Zhu Qizhen said: "Old Jiao thinks Dugu Jiutian will be bad for me?"

Jiao Zhaolong said: "Forgive me for being presumptuous. Dugu Jiutian is highly skilled in martial arts and full of ambitions. He must have no good intentions when he comes here this time. I hope that the emperor will let the emperor lead a group of dead soldiers to guard the emperor's side, so as to protect the emperor." Unpredictable."

Zhu Qizhen had already made up his mind, and said with a smile: "I am very satisfied with Jiao Lao's concern. However, if Dugu Jiutian really wants to be unfavorable to me, why wait until now? I am the king of a country, and I belong to the Ming Dynasty Lifeline, forgive him for not daring to do anything to me."

Jiao Zhaolong knew that Dugu Jiutian was an "extremely dangerous" person, and his duty was to protect the world of the Zhu family, and Zhu Qizhen's life was a part of the world of the Zhu family. Sincerely, Dugu Jiutian may not be grateful. How about letting Weichen lead a few people to hide behind the imperial study, and as soon as the emperor notices something is wrong, Weichen and others will immediately come out and take Dugu Jiutian under the order."

Zhu Qizhen's complexion changed, and he said: "No. Dugu Jiutian has kindness to me, how can I be an ungrateful person?"

Jiao Zhaolong didn't expect Zhu Qizhen to say such a thing, so he quickly knelt down and said, "My minister made a mistake, please forgive me."

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly, and said: "Why is Jiao Lao guilty? I have my own ideas, Jiao Lao don't need to worry too much. Jiao Lao, you'd better step back first, lest Dugu Jiutian come and bump into you, which will only increase misunderstandings. "

Jiao Zhaolong could only say "yes" and exit the imperial study.

After a while, Cao Jixiang led Dugu Jiutian, who was dressed in fine clothes, to the outside of the imperial study.Zhu Qizhen went out and greeted him personally.

After granting the seat, Zhu Qizhen said: "It's rare that leader Dugu can take time out of his busy schedule to visit me. I'm really happy."

Dugu Jiutian clasped his hands and said: "It's a great honor to be able to see the beauty of the sky as the next martial artist. The emperor's holy words, I'm flattered."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Leader Dugu leads the martial arts, and his power reaches thousands of miles. How can it be described as 'a martial artist'? Leader Dugu is too modest."

Dugu Jiutian said: "My little ability is insignificant in front of the emperor. The emperor rules the whole world, this is the No. 1 in the world."

The two seemed to be polite, but in fact their words were meant to be probing.Dugu Jiutian is a hero of the generation, for him, such things are just commonplace.

The reason Zhu Qizhen was able to say those words was nothing more than the suffering of these years, which made him more mature, and he was no longer the "Yongdi" who was led by the nose by Wang Zhen back then and was confused.

After being courteous, Zhu Qizhen gave a dry cough, and said to Cao Jixiang who was standing beside him: "Cao Aiqing, you can step back. Leader Dugu must have a lot to say to me when he comes to see me this time, so you just There's no need to wait around."

Cao Jixiang hesitated for a moment, but still said "obedience" and exited the imperial study.
