Chapter 1067 Leaks
"Grandson..." Zhu Zhanji's teeth trembled subconsciously, and he said with difficulty: "Grandpa, give grandson some time."

"I'll give you the time for a stick of incense," Zhu Di didn't give Zhu Zhanji time, and said calmly, "If the stick of incense burns out, if you refuse to accept the order, then you don't have to accept the order..."

Under the emperor's signal, Zheng He lit a stick of incense sticks, and placed the incense sticks exuding the smell of agarwood in front of Zhu Zhanji.

Looking at the curling white smoke, Zhu Zhanji fell into deep struggle and confusion...

Leaving aside the relationship, if he wants to secure the throne of the emperor, he absolutely cannot do without Wang Xian's help.Among other things, this time he was able to get the news in time and return to the capital quickly, all thanks to the efforts of Wang Xian's men!
Not to mention, everyone in the world knows that Wang Xian saved him from fire and water many times...

In the curling white smoke, Zhu Zhanji seemed to return to Jiulongkou, facing the overwhelming Mongolian cavalry. The despair and fear of His Highness Taisun at that time are still fresh in his memory, often reappearing in nightmares.It was Wang Xian who took the initiative to pretend to be himself, so that the Mongols let go of his real grandson, but he was captured by the Mongols, and he escaped death...

There is also Nanhaizi in the suburbs of Beijing. At the most desperate moment, it was Wang Xian who led the crowd to descend from the sky to save him and Zhu Di from many murderous opportunities!

In the past ten years, Wang Xian went through life and death for him. Without Wang Xian, he would not be where he is today as a grandson. This is known to everyone in the world.If you kill Wang Xian yourself, even if you act according to the order, you will definitely be cast aside by the world!

What's more, Wang Xian is so easy to kill today?If it was so easy to kill, why didn't Grandpa Huang do it himself? How much fun would it be?Why do you have to fake your own hands?Isn't it because the consequences of killing Wang Xian are too serious!Grandpa Huang knew that time was running out, and he was unwilling to face the collapsed situation, so he wanted to throw all his brains to himself? !
But, is it okay not to agree?If he doesn't agree, he will be permanently deprived of the right to inherit the throne, which is absolutely unacceptable to him no matter what!
What's more, even if I don't agree, Wang Xian will be killed if someone else becomes the emperor...

Unknowingly, the time for a stick of incense passed quickly. Looking at the incense stick that had completely burned into off-white powder, Zhu Di asked quietly, "Do you want to accept the order?"

"Grandson, grandson..." Zhu Zhanji was full of chaotic thoughts, all kinds of voices filled his ears, his mouth seemed to open uncontrollably, and hissed: "Grandson accepts the order..."

"Hmph..." Zhu Di snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with his performance: "Mother-in-law."

"The emperor's lesson is..." Zhu Zhanji hurriedly lowered his head and put away the tangled expression on his face.He took a deep breath, and his sanity returned to normal. He was half explaining, half asking: "Grandson is just worried. Now that Uncle Zhao and Eunuch Zhao have mastered the palace, I'm afraid they won't be willing to pass on to me." Not a single word was mentioned about the prince, as if there was no such father.

"Since I decided to pass it on to you, I naturally won't let them make trouble." Zhu Di has a strong self-confidence, which comes from his 20 years of being proud of the world and no one can resist him. It is so strong and true.He just said calmly: "Tomorrow I will call them into the palace, and seeing that I have awakened, do they still dare to mess around?"

"Grandpa, in order to be safe, you have to be prepared!" Zhu Zhanji persuaded in a low voice.

"Hmph! No need!" Zhu Di said coldly, "Go back and rest first, and come back to serve tomorrow."

"Yes." Zhu Zhanji dared not disobey Zhu Di's order under the accumulative prestige, so he could only retreat obediently.However, he will naturally not leave the palace. In the current capital, for His Highness the Grandson, the safest place is Xiyuan.What's more, even if Xiyuan is full of murderous intentions, Zhu Zhanji will never leave the palace at this time!
Once out of the palace, it is not so easy to come in again!
After Zhu Zhanji left, Zhu Di closed his eyes tiredly, with a thick ashen look on his face, if it wasn't for the slight fluttering of his nose, he would be no different from a dead person.He did wake up a few days after being stunned by the news of Wang Guifei's death, but his condition did not improve, but worsened, and he could only stay awake for a period of time every day.

Zheng He stepped forward, wanting to cover Zhu Di with a quilt and let the emperor have a good rest, Zhu Di suddenly opened his eyes with difficulty, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong with the imperial army?"

"This old slave doesn't dare to promise..." Zheng He said in a low voice, "Eunuch Zhao has controlled the Imperial Army for many years, and this old slave has never left his bedroom..."

"Hey..." Zhu Di knew that he couldn't blame Zheng He for this. Whoever allowed himself to run amok for the rest of his life, in the end there was only this one trustworthy Zheng He, and he couldn't be divided into two halves.Suppressing the deep frustration in his heart, Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "There will be no problems with the Warriors' Battalion, right?"

"There will be no problem with the Warriors' Battalion." Zheng He said softly.The Warriors' Battalion is an army composed of strong and brave men selected by Zhu Di from the Mongols and other vassal clans attached to it. It has always only obeyed Zhu Di's orders, and even ignored the orders of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. "Should the Warriors' Battalion be guarded outside the palace?"

"Hmm..." Zhu Di lowered his eyelids, and said slowly, "You transferred them into the palace overnight, and then ambushed them into the secret passage."

"Your Majesty, with so many troops mobilized, it's hard to hide it from everyone." Zheng He said with some worry: "This old slave is worried that the news will leak out."

"I didn't intend to hide it from them." Zhu Di's voice became softer and softer until it was inaudible: "I have to see who dares to mess around..."

"Yes..." Zheng He looked at Zhu Di who had fallen into a deep sleep, and enlightenment arose in his heart.The emperor has reached the last moment of his life, and he no longer has the mood to fight with others, and just wants to walk this last journey safely.So let the warrior camp enter the secret passage, showing the emperor's prepared posture, so as to scare off the ambitious guys.Even if it's just temporarily safe and sound, never mind the flood after his death.

.

Dongchang cleaned up the palace very thoroughly, and now all the palaces are under Zhao Ying's sect, and the troubles in Xiyuan can't escape the eyes and ears of the old eunuch.

Therefore, although Zheng He had been very careful and quietly transferred the warrior camp into the palace under the cover of night, he was discovered by Zhao Ying's men immediately and reported to the old eunuch.

"Zheng He transferred the warrior battalion to the bedroom and entered the secret passage?" Listening to the report from the people below, Ma De frowned and said: "This Ma Sanbao is showing his true nature more and more. Who is he trying to deal with?"

"The grandson just returned to the palace, and he came here. Could it be that the two of them have colluded?" The eunuch in charge also pondered: "It is really possible that the false edict to call the grandson back to the capital is not Zheng He. Are you messing with those bachelors?"

"That's right!" The rest of the people also yelled 'filled with righteous indignation': "The ancestor is still his master, he is trying to deceive the master and destroy the ancestor!"

However, Zhao Ying remained silent with a sullen face.It took a while for everyone to realize his strange behavior, and then they gradually shut up. Relying on his usual favor, Ma De asked in a low voice: "Godfather, what's wrong?"

"Zheng He... doesn't look like someone who does these things." Zhao Ying slowly shook his head and said, "I'm worried that his actions are ordered by the emperor."

"Hiss..." Everyone gasped, Ma Deqiang laughed and said, "Even if the emperor said something when he was awake, it doesn't matter whether he is unconscious or not now."

"That's true..." Everyone was deeply convinced when they heard the words, and they all breathed a sigh of relief: "Even if he has a will in his hand, as long as we control the situation, we can say that he is a coward!"

"In any case, we must act as soon as possible." Zhao Ying stood up, looked at the crowd and said, "You guard the palace, especially the emperor and grandson. Our family will go to Zhao Wangfu."

"Don't worry, old ancestor," Ma De and others hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "good old ancestor."

Zhao Ying got into the sedan chair and walked along the long corridor to the Xiyuan Gate. Looking at the dark palace on the road, it seemed that there were countless monsters lurking that would choose to eat people. The old eunuch frowned, feeling something was wrong, but Can't tell what's wrong.

When approaching the Xiyuan Gate, another sedan chair came from another direction and met Zhao Ying's sedan chair unexpectedly.

"Old ancestor," Zhao Ying's servant eunuch reported softly, "it's Eunuch Huang."

"It's him?" Zhao Ying raised his heavy eyelids suddenly, a pair of triangular eyes flashed a cold light, and then disappeared, and his tone returned to calm: "What is he going to do?"

Over there, Huang He had already got off the sedan chair, and stood neatly in front of Zhao Ying's sedan chair, cupping his hands and saying in a respectful voice: "Godfather."

"Now I remember that there is a godfather coming?" Zhao Ying looked at Huang He expressionlessly, and through the lantern, he could see that he had lost a lot of weight, and he was no longer as domineering as before.

Huang He, like Ma De, is Zhao Ying's godson, otherwise, it would not have been possible to become the steward of the Qianqing Palace many years ago and become one of the most popular eunuchs in front of Zhu Di.However, the so-called popular right and wrong, Huang He's infinite scenery, aroused the jealousy of many people, such as Ma De, who has been speaking ill of him in front of Eunuch Zhao.Huang He also took advantage of the emperor's favor, and indeed did not take the old eunuch seriously, so the relationship between the two has been very weak over the years.

But Huang He had a hard time these past few months. He was the one who recommended Zhu Di to the Taoist Hu who killed the emperor in a coma.Although the palace was in chaos after the emperor fell ill, and the case has not been clearly investigated until now, Huang He was dismissed from office and completely disappeared from the emperor's side.

Zhao Ying has almost forgotten this popular person in Zhu Di's eyes in the past, so seeing him again, it is inevitable that he will feel a sense of surprise.

"In the past, it was the son who was too disobedient." Hearing Zhao Ying's sarcasm, Huang He knelt down in front of him and said respectfully, "Godfather, let the child be spared just once."

"Get up first." Zhao Ying snorted noncommittally, and asked lightly: "What is Mr. Huang going to do?"

"My son is going the same way as my godfather." Huang He respectfully said, "My son has a big secret, and I want to report it to His Royal Highness Zhao Wang."

"Oh?" Zhao Ying originally wanted to ask some secrets, but there are too many people here, so he suppressed it for the time being, nodded, and said, "Let's talk about it after leaving the palace."

"Yes." Huang He replied respectfully, first watched Zhao Ying get into the sedan chair, then turned around and got into the sedan chair, and the two left the Xiyuan one after the other.
