Chapter 1036 Tears

"You said that Wang Xian's party instigated those ordinary people to meet him at the gate of the city?" Zhu Di frowned and asked slowly.

"Your Majesty, it must be like this. Otherwise, how would the common people know when Wang Xian will return to Beijing?" Zhao Ying said angrily, "Even if they knew, why would thousands of people go to welcome him? If no one is behind the instigating How can Wang Xian and He De make the common people go crazy for him?"

"Hmm..." Zhu Di quite agrees with this point. In his opinion, Wang Xian should not be so loved by the common people, and no one in the Ming Dynasty should be worthy of him except himself!After pondering for a moment, Zhu Di said slowly: "What do you think he wants to do?"

"In the humble opinion of this old slave, it must be that Wang Xian's party is creating public opinion, inciting public sentiment, and trying to force the emperor to be pressured, so that he can't be killed!" Zhao Ying speculatively said: "And the old slave suspects that there is something behind this. The shadows of other people, after all, Wang Xian alone can't make such a big commotion!"

"You mean...the crown prince?" Zhu Di frowned, this was what he was most worried about.

"This old slave dare not make assumptions..." Zhao Ying hurriedly said in a low voice.Seeing that he had successfully diverted the emperor's attention and avoided being held accountable by the emperor for the crimes committed by the robbed prisoner, the old eunuch was secretly relieved, so he didn't say any more.

"I know..." Zhu Di nodded, glanced at Zhao Ying and said, "I have the right to write down what happened this time for you, and I will make a mess next time, and punish you for several crimes, and I will definitely make you look good!"

"The old slave thanked the emperor, and the old slave will definitely make amends." Zhao Ying hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him incessantly.

"For a while now, all Jinyiwei of the East Factory are on the highest alert, don't let go of any disturbance," Zhu Di said emphatically, "No mistakes are allowed within the next two months, do you understand?!"

"Remember, old slave." Zhao Ying hurriedly responded.

"Go..." Zhu Di waved his hand, and when the old eunuch retreated, he walked slowly in the bedroom with a three-foot crutch.Zheng He behind him didn't dare to help, because the emperor wanted to walk with his own strength; but he didn't dare to keep his hands too far away from the emperor, lest the emperor's feet would be weak and he would fall into trouble...

Zheng He silently followed behind the emperor, his hands were only a few inches away from the emperor's back, which made Zhu Di angry and funny, turned around and pointed at Zheng He with his crutches: "Are you a ghost with hanging boots?"

"Your Majesty, let me go, and this old slave will not hinder you." Zheng He said softly.

"You are like this, what makes me think about things?" Zhu Di glared at him angrily, held the head of the stick with both hands, leaned on the ground and sighed: "Tell me, could it be that the crown prince is protesting against me? "

"His Royal Highness is honest and pure, and should not do such a thing." In his heart, Zheng He disapproved of Zhu Di's "paranoia of persecution", and could only persuade him as best as he could: "Even if someone is instigating behind the scenes, it should be just It's just a trick by Wang Xian trying to save himself."

"I'm not worried about Wang Xian, no matter how capable he is, entering the capital is like entering a cage, and life and death are already in my mind." Zhu Di finally revealed the domineering and majestic way he used to be when he spoke: "He tosses No matter how powerful it is, it will not help!"

Zheng He could hear the hesitation in Zhu Di's heart, and asked tentatively: "Is the emperor still not made up his mind, how to deal with Wang Xian?"

"Hmm..." Zhu Di did not lie to the loyal Zheng He, sat back on the soft chair with his support, and said slowly: "He dares to kill my sons and grandchildren and bully the emperor, so naturally I can't keep him. But what?" It’s time to kill him, I really didn’t think about it.” He looked at Zheng He and said, “Now I have two choices, you can help me to discuss the details.”

"Please tell me, Your Majesty, this old slave is listening." Zheng He hurriedly replied.

"One is to keep Wang Xian first, and wait for the summer grain from Jiangnan to be transported to Beijing. At that time, I will tighten my belt and support Zhang Fu to completely wipe out the White Lotus Sect. Then I will kill Wang Xian. Naturally, there will be no future troubles. It's the safest way, but I can't bear it." Zhu Di said quietly with a dark face.

"What about another method?" Zheng He asked softly.

"Another way is to kill this beast immediately. If he is really the leader of the Shandong gang, he is suitable for capturing the thief and the king." Zhu Di coughed and said, "But if he is not the leader, or the Shandong gang has left. He will continue to turn around as usual, once Wang Xian is killed, Shandong may be in chaos again! Moreover, the crown prince will die and the fox will be sad, maybe he will jump over the wall in a hurry, when all kinds of situations come together, I may be caught off guard."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di leaned heavily on his crutches angrily, and said angrily, "It's all because your master is so useless. So many people can make the Buddha's mother escape, so I have added to this distress!" Zhu Di knew very well that regardless of rescue Whether the mastermind behind the scenes is Wang Xian, just because the other party is so aggressive and wants to rescue Buddha's mother, it shows the woman's influence on Shandong.After she escapes, she will definitely return to Shandong, casting a shadow over Zhu Di's heart...

"If the emperor wants to ask the old slave for his opinion, the old slave will of course choose the first method, which seems to be safer." Zheng He said, sighing softly in his heart, and then said slowly: "But the emperor must have a different decision. ..."

"Oh..." Zhu Di glanced at Zheng He in surprise, and laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that you are still a roundworm in my belly." As he spoke, his smile was suppressed, and his face was domineering: "Yes, I have dozens of people in the world. Years, how can we let a young man be restrained? Keeping him, won't the world look down on me and think that there is nothing I can do about him?" He raised his voice and said: "I will kill him, look Can you still turn the sky upside down?"

"The emperor is arbitrary, no one can make the emperor helpless." Zheng He said softly.In all fairness, he sympathized with Wang Xian's ending.But in these years, he has seen too many undeserving ghosts, there is no way, who made the king, the minister and the minister have to die?Zheng He knew that it was the dragon's health that had restored Zhu Di's vigor in the past. If it weren't for Taoist Hu's elixir, the emperor would still look like he was going to die. I'm afraid he wouldn't be so confident. "No one can turn the sky of the Ming Dynasty over."

"I can't cover the sky and the sun forever..." Hearing Zheng He's rare compliment, Zhu Di said a little sadly: "Man can't beat the sky. There will always be a day when I go to see my ancestors, and I have to put those Only when the rebellious sons and traitors have been dealt with can we close our eyes with peace of mind..."

"The emperor has taken the elixir, not to mention longevity, but a long life is certain." Zheng He hurriedly said softly.

"Impossible, if I can live for two more years, even if Hu Shenxian is really capable!" Zhu Di was not so optimistic, shook his head, and scolded with a smile: "Sanbao, don't follow their flattery, you learn If you don’t come, you should concentrate on letting people, protecting the Grand Canal is the right thing to do!”

"Yes..." Zheng He nodded, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the emperor, the old slave's [-] soldiers and horses have already stationed along the east section of the canal. Together with the army in the hands of the British Duke, they will surely keep the canal safe!"

"If Zhang Fu can truly control Liu Sheng's army, of course I have nothing to worry about." The emperor frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the time is too short, and with Zhang Fu's ability, he will not be able to completely subdue the army."

"Didn't the former British official say that Marquis Anyuan was very cooperative, handed over his seal on the spot, and left Qingzhou to return to Beijing?" Zheng He said softly.

"It's abnormal, it's too abnormal. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so worried..." Zhu Di frowned and said, "If Liu Sheng was really obedient, when I asked the cabinet to recall him, he shouldn't have disobeyed orders!" After a pause, he asked, "Why did he obediently hand over power as soon as Liu Sheng arrived?"

"The British Duke has a great reputation. Unless Anyuanhou really wants to rebel, he can only bow his head in front of him." Zheng He thought for a while and said, "In addition to the fact that the emperor has frequently resorted to tricks these days, this old slave thinks that Anyuanhou is afraid It's..."

"Why hasn't he seen it? Can you be afraid that some of these will not be available?" Zhu Di didn't believe that Liu Sheng would be so preoccupied.But he believed in Zhang Fu's ability even more. Now that he had taken over the army, he would not be unable to suppress it.What's more, Zhang Fu brought five thousand elite soldiers to the formation!
Exhaling deeply, the emperor said slowly, "Wait until Liu Sheng enters the capital before doing anything. How long will he have to arrive in the capital?"

"Marquis Anyuan will arrive in Beijing in half a month." Zheng He replied softly.

"It's cheap for Wang Xian to live for half a month..." Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "It's not rude to come and go, and make good use of this half month..."

"What does the emperor mean?" Zheng He asked puzzled.

"Wang Xian will put gold on his face, wouldn't I take off the gold paper on his face and let the world see his ugly face?" Zhu Di sneered and said, "Bring Wang Zhang here."

Wang Zhang is the new censor of Zuodu, the head of speech officials, and Zheng He immediately understood what the emperor wanted to do.

.

In the following days, Wang Xian did not move a single step in the mansion, and stayed by Gu Xiaolian's side from morning to night, and invited famous doctors in the capital to treat her, but those famous old doctors were helpless against Gu Xiaolian. Not even sure what the name of her illness is.There were a few bold ones who wanted to give Gu Xiaolian acupuncture, but seeing that thick golden needle that was as long as a tiger's mouth, how dare Wang Xian let them give acupuncture indiscriminately?

After looking around, I can only treat her conservatively with some refreshing and stasis-removing decoctions for the time being, and then try to use various methods to wake her up.He used all kinds of sounds he could find, such as insects and birds, singing and piano, flowing water and falling jade, to stimulate Gu Xiaolian's ears in turn, hoping to see a little reaction from her.It's a pity that after trying hundreds of voices, Gu Xiaolian didn't even move her fingers...

Although Wang Xian was disappointed, he still didn't want to give up. He firmly believed that there must be a voice that could reach Gu Xiaolian's heart, but he couldn't find it...

"Xiao Lian, don't worry, we can definitely find a solution." Wang Xian gently held Gu Xiaolian's cold hand, and said softly to her: "It doesn't matter if it keeps doing this, I will take care of you for the rest of my life..."

As Wang Xian was speaking, he suddenly saw that the corners of Gu Xiaolian's eyes seemed to be a little bright, and when he looked closely, he saw a crystal teardrop dripping down...
