Chapter 316

Zhang Sheng was the governor of Zuojun Dudufu. His father was Pengcheng Bo of the Ming Dynasty, and he served as the commander of the Imperial Guard.

He has a very special relative, the empress of the late Emperor Hongxi and the current Empress Dowager Zhang.

This was also the reason why Zhu Zhanhe was so interested in him, because he really couldn't imagine that his cousin would even use his own uncle to make him die on the road.

But thinking about it, let Zhang Sheng, the uncle of the current emperor, go to negotiate with Wala, among other things, at least the credibility will be doubled.

It's just that no one may have expected that Zhang Sheng and Tuo Huan were commanding from a distance in Helan Mountain, but they were finally caught.

After all, it stands to reason that although Zhu Zhanhe led many people, most of them were infantry from Uzzandusi. Although there were also cavalry, they were still too few.

When Zhu Zhanhe was attacked, and coupled with the lack of cavalry, no one expected that someone would detour to Helan Mountain and capture them, and the people who captured them were not Zhu Zhanhe's people.

No, it’s not that no one knows, because there is one person who knows...

"His Royal Highness, maybe you don't believe it, but if I hadn't been the one who went to Wala this time, you might not have been able to catch Tuo Huan so smoothly."

Zhang Sheng had no fear on his face, raised his head, and looked straight at Zhu Zhanhe.

"Oh?" Zhu Zhanhe was slightly startled.

After so many years, Zhu Zhanhe has not learned any other skills, but he is still good at observing words and expressions. He can see that Zhang Sheng is not lying.

Of course, it may be that Zhang Sheng hid it well.

"Reason." Zhu Zhanhe knocked on the desk and looked at Zhang Sheng in front of him.

He wanted to see what tricks this uncle of the current emperor could play.

"Before I say anything, I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince if you can invite King Zhongyi here?"

Zhang Sheng tilted his head and looked outside.

Although Zhu Zhanhe was puzzled when he heard this, he still waved.

Although Tamerlane wanted to stabilize the whole world, Zhu Zhanhe could not guarantee whether he colluded with Zhang Sheng on the way, because doing so would be beneficial to many people.

Including the force-free Timur, because if he and Zhang Sheng had discussed it and tied the shit basin firmly to Wala's body, then there would be some moves that Zhu Zhanhe would not be able to do directly.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

Free Timur obviously knew why Zhu Zhanhe asked him to come here, he saluted Zhu Zhanhe as soon as he came in, then reached into his bosom, and took out a letter.

Zhu Zhanhe narrowed his eyes slightly, took the letter, and opened it.

……

There were a lot of words in the letter, but Zhu Zhanhe read it quickly, because it only contained one thing.

Zhang Sheng informed Tamerlane in advance of his trip to Oara, what he was going to do and how to deal with it, and asked him to send troops to the north of the Yellow River. He would try his best to persuade the people of Oara to move south.

In the end, Zhang Sheng succeeded, and so did Freedom Timur, and he also caught the big fish Tuhuan.

The only problem was that Zhang Sheng didn't leave early as they planned, but got caught in front of everyone.

This put Wainli Timur in a bit of a dilemma, because their original plan was for Zhang Sheng to escape early and be caught in front of everyone. Wainli Timur could not let him go, so he could only bring him here with him. .

It is not that Zhu Zhanhe has never doubted the authenticity of this letter, but judging from the ink stains and the degree of damage, this letter does not look like a temporary forgery, and besides this letter, there is another reason why Zhu Zhanhe Zhan He thinks this is believable.

Tuo Huan was caught by Tamerlane.

If it is said that the court would be willing to use divorce as a bargaining chip, but if it is a temporary collusion, there is a high probability that this will not be possible.

One is because if it is not possible to guarantee safety, Mahamu would not let his own son, and the established heir, take risks.

The second is because of Tamerlane's behavior and course of action.

"What are you doing for?" Zhu Zhanhe folded the letter paper, put it in the envelope and put it in his arms.

Following Zhu Zhanhe's signal, Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping also untied the rope from Zhang Sheng's body.

He rubbed his sore wrist, but Zhang Sheng did not stand up, but knelt on the ground and said.

"For the Ming Dynasty, for the imperial court, and for your majesty."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded slightly.

It has to be said that although the current Queen Mother Zhang is a female figure, she has to be said to be the most sober in the entire Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the Zhang family, as a relative, also did a good job. Although Zhang Sheng was only the second son, it must be said that the Zhang family was very decisive in sending Zhang Sheng for this matter.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe was also very emotional.

No matter what your depravity is, there will always be someone who truly cares for you.

"Get up..." Zhu Zhanhe sighed softly and stretched out his hand to gesture to Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng hesitated for a moment and finally stood up, but he still did not give up and wanted to continue to persuade Zhu Zhanhe.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty's nature is actually not bad. Others may not know this, but you should know it."

"Back then, when you and Your Majesty accompanied Emperor Taizong on his northern expedition to the grasslands, no one knew His Majesty's behavior better than you."

"It is undeniable that His Majesty has indeed changed now, but he is just anxious because you are so outstanding that he has a sense of crisis."

"His Royal Highness, after this incident, no matter what the starting point was, it was indeed me who contacted Wala to attack the Ming Dynasty clan and brought the firearms to Wala. This is irrefutable."

"It is not a pity that Zhang Sheng died, but I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will think twice."

"If His Highness holds a grudge, you can deal with Zhang Sheng in any way, but I hope His Highness has righteousness in mind and does not send troops."

"Once the troops are sent out, the world will be in chaos!"

"Zhang Sheng knows that you will be the final winner, and he also knows that even after the chaos, the Wara and Eastern Chagatai Khanates will not get half of the benefits from you."

"But please, Your Highness, think of the blood relationship and the sake of Emperor Taizong..."

Having said this, Zhang Sheng looked serious and knelt down again.

"Your Highness, please have mercy."

……

That night.

Zhu Zhanhe stood on the wall of Jingluwei, looking at the darkness in the north in the dark night, with mixed feelings in his heart.

How to deal with Zhang Sheng?Zhu Zhanhe hasn't thought about it yet.

Should we take the opportunity to make an attack?Zhu Zhanhe didn't think it through either.

In fact, before today, before Zhang Sheng appeared in front of him and said those words, he didn't have any big feelings, only anger.

He was angry that his cousin had no bottom line, did not say anything to his own people, and even gave the firearm to Wala.

But after what Zhang Sheng said, Zhu Zhanhe really felt a little hateful.

It seems that the two of them have never been equal. It seems that the starting line is the same, but in fact they are very different.

At the beginning, he was the crown prince of the Han Dynasty. He only had his parents and a group of generals who stood behind the King of Han for their own benefit.

Zhu Zhanji is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he has parents behind him, as well as civil servants who stand behind the princelings for their own benefit.

But the difference is that Zhu Zhanji has more than just these.

The old man, Yao Guangxiao, Jin Zhong, too many people stood behind Zhu Zhanji, even if some of them were just for the stability of the Ming Dynasty, just for long-term considerations.

Zhu Zhanhe knew that the difference in treatment was not a matter of people, but a matter of position. If they were switched, his father was the crown prince and Zhu Zhanji's father was the King of Han, and the old man and the others would stand behind him.

Because their differential treatment is based on position and has nothing to do with people.

But why?
