The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

After Yu'er arrived, Zhang Fan was indeed nervous during this period, but after being nervous for a while, nothing happened in the mansion, not even the smallest quarrel occurred. This kind of tension has subsided a lot. Of course, if nothing happens now, it doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future. But for the time being, Zhang Fan doesn’t have the heart to think about it. Since it hasn’t happened now, let’s focus on doing it first. Let's talk about the things in front of us.

Therefore, during this period of time, in addition to asking Zhang Fan about the matter with Joanna, the most important thing is to discuss with Zhang Juzheng and the others about the matter after Zhu Xuanqi's arrival.

It is not a trivial matter for the vassal king to go to Beijing, so the attention of the court to this matter will naturally not be small, and the itinerary of Zhu Xuanqi and his party, although he did not bring many people, at best it is only to maintain a It's just the number of people in the scene that the prince should have, but he naturally shocked countless people along the way. Therefore, the court is very clear about his itinerary.

After more than ten days of travel, Zhu Xuanqi has now arrived in Henan Prefecture, and Henan Prefecture is already very close to the capital. In addition, Zhu Xuanqi and his party, although they are vassal kings, but in name, they are just It is an invitation from the royal family. To put it bluntly, it is a visit between relatives. It can also be understood in this way. In this way, Zhu Xuanqi's itinerary should be said to be extremely easy, stop and go, and have fun. should.

However, I am afraid that not only Zhu Xuanqi, but everyone knows that this is impossible, not only other people think so, but even Zhu Xuanqi himself understands that this time he came to the capital, it can be said that it is more or less auspicious.

Of course, since coming to the capital is more ominous than good, why not simply obey the imperial decree? Zhu Xuanqi is not stupid, not to mention that he is very sensitive about this matter. He knows that if he really does not respond to the imperial edict If that is the case, I am afraid that my head is already in a different place. Although the Queen Mother Li is not very familiar with it, but the person who can defeat many opponents in the harem and secure the position of Queen Mother, how can he be an ordinary person? , this has nothing to do with gender, and the more so, the more ruthless Queen Mother Li should be.

Therefore, even though Zhu Xuanqi didn't know exactly what preparations Empress Dowager Li had made, he was sure that if he did not respond to the imperial decree, Empress Dowager Li must have been prepared for it, and he would definitely suffer. So, I want to understand Knowing this, Zhu Xuanqi only hesitated a little after receiving the imperial edict, and immediately decided to come to Beijing in accordance with the edict.

It has to be said that this is the most correct and decisive decision Zhu Xuanqi has ever made. If he complied with the imperial decree, then his life and death cannot be determined. Those close to her didn't even know what Empress Dowager Li was thinking and what she was going to do with Zhu Xuanqi.

But, regardless of this point, there is one thing that Zhang Fan and the others are very clear about. No matter what the Empress Dowager Li wants to do, if Zhu Xuanqi does not comply with the plan, he will definitely be in trouble. This point is absolutely unmistakable , So, no matter what, Zhu Xuanqi chose to do this, obviously there is still a way to survive, but if he doesn't choose, it will be ten deaths and no life.

Therefore, the current situation of Zhu Xuanqi can be described in this way. Since it is his future, it is still impossible to explain, but at the very least, there is still the possibility of surviving, and this possibility is not small, not to mention, So many people in the current court, people like Zhang Fan and Zhang Juzheng, are all trying to make him live.

Perhaps, Zhu Xuanqi himself and Zhang Fan have different reasons for wanting Zhu Xuanqi to live, but this idea has not changed. Survive things.

Even the other ministers in the court and those other princes all thought so. After all, as long as Zhu Xuanqi can survive, it means that they have nothing to do. Of course, it seems that Queen Mother Li has no reason to go Trouble them, after all, they don't seem to have done anything, but they belong to the same prince, Zhu Xuanqi, the biggest accident, they will definitely be involved to some extent, and if Zhu Xuanqi does not have an accident, it is the best.

Even with Empress Dowager Li, in fact, Empress Dowager Li was a little hesitant about this, or no one else could know what Empress Dowager Li was thinking, but one thing was absolutely certain, Empress Dowager Li was definitely concerned about Zhu Xuanqi The higher authorities had hesitated to deal with this matter, otherwise, she would never have listened to Zhang Fan and Zhang Juzheng's advice, but had someone directly kidnap Zhu Xuanqi to the capital.

Perhaps, at this moment, there is only one Zhu Xuanluo who really wants Zhu Xuanqi to suffer because of this incident.

It's a bit strange and funny to think about it. It is clear that Zhu Xuanluo and Zhu Xuanqi are half-brothers. Although their mothers are not the same person, they both have their father's blood on them after all. It has become such an existence like an enemy, and they all try their best to kill each other. The difference is that Zhu Xuanqi had the upper hand before, but now Zhu Xuanluo has the upper hand.

Perhaps it would be a pity to think of this kind of conflict of the same root, but as long as one thinks that the two of them were born in the royal family at the same time, this kind of thing is not uncommon. In order to inherit the throne, or the throne, Fighting between brothers, this kind of thing has been too many throughout the ages, it is not unusual at all, and for the ministers in the court, they also understand this kind of thing, so these people will never It is true that there is too much nostalgia, and it is more just trying to get some benefits from this kind of thing.

They don't care about what will happen between the brothers, they just care about the impact of this kind of thing.

It sounds like this kind of thing is too impersonal. You don't help mediate when brothers kill each other, but instead you try to get benefits. Of course, this kind of thing sounds really wrong. But for people in the DPRK who have seen this kind of thing a lot, since there is no way to change this fact, why do they have to insist on getting their own share, rather than gaining benefits?

Of course, this has to talk about Zhu Xuanqi's matter now. Although the people in the court don't care about who dies and who lives between the two brothers, and who can inherit the throne, but if they only consider the interests first, Almost everyone felt that if Zhu Xuanqi could survive and continue to be his king of Shu, it would be much better and there would be no troubles. Therefore, this time, almost everyone in the court was I want this to end sooner.

Therefore, this is not to say that these people in the DPRK have changed their minds and considered this matter with the feelings of ordinary people, but in fact, their fundamental starting point is still interests, precisely because they understand that this If this matter can be resolved in this way, let Zhu Xuanqi continue to be his prince. In this way, it will be good for the court, for those princes, or for the court and the Ming Dynasty. It is precisely because of understanding this point, That's how they see it.

However, even so, they still have to face a problem, that is, how will Queen Mother Li deal with this matter.

Speaking of which, even if all the people in the court think so, if the Empress Dowager Li really does this, there must be a reason, and they will definitely not be able to find any loopholes to destroy her decision. If they come, they will have no way to persuade Queen Mother Li.

That is to say, now that I have said so much, in the final analysis, there is actually one point, whether it is for most people in the court who want this matter to end peacefully; or for Zhu Xuanluo who wants Zhu Xuanqi to be decapitated For those who took back everything that belonged to them by themselves, whether their wish can be realized or not depends on what Queen Mother Li plans.

As for Queen Mother Li's current plan, no one knows at all, which is the reason why so many people in the court are thinking about it endlessly.

However, the people in the court were thinking about it, but Zhang Fan and the others didn't think about it anymore. It wasn't because they had gotten accurate information in the past few days and knew what Queen Mother Li was thinking. Yes, they still don't know, but they have already figured it out, no matter what, they must be prepared for this matter, so they stopped thinking about Li Tianhou's plan, but concentrated on preparing.

However, Zhang Fan's mind was not so relaxed, not only because of this matter, Zhu Xuanluo had people come to tell him many times during this period that he wanted to see him, and Zhu Xuanluo also heard about Zhu Xuanqi's itinerary when he wanted to come. Knowing that the day is approaching, I became more worried in my heart. If I think about my own future, Zhu Xuanluo has to worry and care about this matter, and it is exactly as I said before that today's Zhu Xuanluo It can be said that no one knows anyone in the capital, and the only way to get any news is through Zhang Fan. Therefore, Zhu Xuanqi is getting closer and closer to the capital now, and he wants to know more about the situation , and he could only ask Zhang Fan.

But Zhang Fan told him well at first, but now, he is sending someone to find Zhang Fan, but Zhang Fan is not coming. Zhu Xuanluo is so worried that he is going to die, for fear that Zhang Fan has already learned Knowing Queen Mother Li's plan, knowing that he is useless, that's why he didn't come to see him.

Therefore, Zhu Xuanluo asked people to ask Zhang Fan more frequently, but Zhang Fan ignored him.

This also made Zhang Fan a little bit annoyed, and recently, only when he was busy with Joanna's affairs, could Zhang Fan relax a little bit.
