The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 641 Personal expedition
a long distance away.

Beijing.

The king of Han fell ill due to a cold.

When the news reached the palace, the emperor not only sent his chamberlain to visit the palace, but also gave him a reward.

Zhao Yanjin and his wife were very proud.

However, less than three days after this triumph, someone accused the King of Han of staying in the capital for a long time and delaying returning to his fiefdom, breaking the rules set by the late emperor.

The rule is: an adult prince is not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned. Even if he has something to do, he should return as soon as possible.

The King of Han originally came to the capital to attend to his illness. Now that the emperor is healthy, the King of Han should return to his fiefdom instead of staying in the capital.

Zhao Yanjin didn't take this kind of impeachment memorial seriously at all.

The Chinese New Year will be in a month. Your Majesty is getting older and likes to be surrounded by his children and grandchildren. This memorial will be resolved for him without his intervention.

really.

In the morning of the next day, the emperor did not mention the impeachment memorial. He only asked Lord Zhu of the Qintian Prison if a date had been set for the election of the emperor's grandson.

Master Zhu stepped forward and said that the eighth day of May next year was the best day of the year, suitable for marriage. This day also matched the birthdays of the emperor's grandson and the three daughters of the Wu family.

The emperor pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "Choose a good day in February."

The ministers were in an uproar.

There are less than three months left before February. Three months to prepare for the grandson's wedding is really too hasty.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's next words shocked everyone even more.

"In March, I want to go on an expedition myself. Lord Zhu, please help me choose a good day."

The emperor's personal conquest?

62 years old?
No wonder the emperor's grandson's wedding was moved forward to February.

The ministers look at me and I don't know how to persuade His Majesty to give up this idea.

But when I thought that His Majesty had spent his whole life on horseback, and that he had personally conducted military campaigns more than once or twice, he swallowed his words again.

"During my expedition, the prince will supervise the country, and the King of Han will accompany me on the expedition."

As soon as these words were said, everyone's eyes looked at the prince intentionally or unintentionally.

The prince also supervised the country a few years ago.

That time, His Majesty also led the King of Han in an expedition against the Tartars. After the victory, the army moved back to the court.

After the prince heard the news, he took his officials and prepared to go out of the city to greet him.

Due to lack of preparation during the reception, there was a delay in time, which made His Majesty very unhappy. Several of the prince's people were executed in succession, and two of them were even imprisoned.

It was also at that time that the prince completely fell out of favor in His Majesty's heart.

Under the gaze of everyone, the prince's face turned pale at this moment.

He stood up from the chair and knelt down tremblingly with his fat body.

"My son, obey the order."

Among the ministers, Xie Daozhi glanced at the emperor's grandson quietly, lowered his eyes and sighed deeply in his heart.

Marquis Wu'an repeatedly requested to go on an expedition, but His Majesty did not nod in agreement. In the end, his heart still favored the King of Han.

……

When the news reached Xie Zhifei's ears, he was interrogating prisoners in prison.

The little thief robbed six houses in a row but refused to find out who his accomplice was.

If it was normal, Xie Zhifei would still have the temperament to deal with him, but when he heard that His Majesty was going to conquer the country personally and also brought the King of Han with him, all his good temper was gone.

"Let's hit ten boards first and then talk about it."

Xie Zhifei walked out of the room, turned to look at Zhu Qing, gritted his teeth and said: "I haven't thought of a way to cause him any trouble, but he did this to me."

Zhu Qing looked at her father and moved her lips a few times, but she didn't know how to persuade him.

"You don't have to comfort me."

Xie Zhifei said calmly: "The one who really needs to be relieved is the one from Duanmu Palace." The first step was to stumble on Li Buyan, and the second step was to face the advance of the wedding, and His Majesty personally marched, so this depression was gone.

"Send someone to deliver a message to Ming Ting and ask him to go to the other courtyard with me in the evening."

Xie Zhifei thought for a while and then said: "Go to Bujiajun yourself and tell them that the person who attacked us last time has been found."

Zhu Qing was startled.

Xie Zhifei: "It's the King of Han."

Zhu Qing was startled again: "Master, just based on Miss Yan's words, there is no real evidence?"

Xie Zhifei glared, "Yan Sanhe's words are true. When did she make a mistake?"

"I'm afraid General Bu won't believe it."

"Just tell him that. Whether he believes it or not, that's his business."

Zhu Qing hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty has not selected a candidate for the expedition, General Bu..."

"He will definitely be indispensable."

Xie Zhifei: "Your Majesty personally marches to win the war. To win the war, the Bu family army will take the lead."

Zhu Qing: "..." I've become a fortune teller too?

Xie Zhifei doesn't know whether he is a master of calculation or not. He wants to do one thing right now: sow discord!

No, there was one more thing he wanted to do: go to Zhu Yuanmo to see if he could prevent King Han from getting sick.

……

Zhu Yuanmo was not surprised at all when he saw Xie Zhifei coming to see him.

The King of Han went on an expedition with His Majesty, while the prince stayed in the capital. This seemed reasonable and reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you will know how dangerous the prince's situation is.

At the age of 62, His Majesty went to fight in the North. Let’s not talk about how the battle went. I just want to talk about His Majesty’s current health. Can he come back safe and sound?
If not, there will be too many variables if there is only one King of Han beside His Majesty.

It's not like this has never happened throughout the ages.

Emperor Qin traveled to the south and died of illness on the platform of Sand Dune Palace. His son Hu Hai did not mourn in secret.

With the help of ministers Zhao Gao and Li Si, he killed more than [-] brothers and sisters, forced the emperor's eldest son Fusu to death, and became emperor.

A bloody lesson!

"Third Master."

Zhu Yuanmo sighed: "Things can be one thing or another. He will become suspicious."

I haven't spoken yet, but you have already refused.

Xie Zhifei felt extremely depressed.

But if you think about it carefully, half of the imperial hospital went to the Han Dynasty Palace. If even a cold can't be cured, who can believe it?
"What I can do to help Third Master is to vaguely mention to His Majesty the zodiac sign and birth date of the King of Han after I have calculated the date for the expedition. It will not be easy to accompany His Majesty on this trip."

Zhu Yuanmo: "And you can't make nonsense. You need to seek truth from facts. Your Majesty is suspicious, and there are other capable people in Qintian Prison."

It's better to have a way than to have no way at all.

The depression was gone, and Xie Zhifei hugged his fists, "I thank Brother Zhu for Huairen."

"Between you and me, what else can I say to thank you?"

Zhu Yuanmo took a step forward and said in a low voice: "The fact that I can still serve His Majesty now is all thanks to my third brother."

"Brother Zhu also handled it well."

Zhu Yuanmo couldn't help but feel soft when he saw that he didn't take any credit.

"There are still three months, and there will always be opportunities. Don't worry, third brother, I'm in the same boat with you, and I won't just watch the boat capsize."

These words were like a reassurance for Xie Zhifei.

He didn't say much else, only whispered: "They will come back in a few days. I will send people to greet them a hundred miles away. There should be good news to bring back."

Zhu Yuanmo looked into Mr. Xie's deep eyes and whispered:
"If I can't find an opportunity, please make other preparations early."
