high official

Chapter 1090 Pick Up
When the news that the prince had pacified King Zhao and led an army into Tongzhou to rest reached the capital, Zhu Zhanji knew that he could no longer stop the prince from ascending the throne.He has always been aware of current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat, but he has always looked down on his father, and always hoped to surpass his father and directly take over the throne of Ming Dynasty, so he seemed extremely stiff and clumsy in handling the relationship with the crown prince.

The details of the crown prince's death of King Zhao also spread to the capital, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm for His Highness the grandson. His seemingly weak and honest father still bleeds the blood of the old Zhu family in his bones. He was alive, so he had to hide it... Now the emperor's grandfather passed away.No one can protect him anymore, if he still can't see the situation clearly, he still has to fight against the crown prince, in the end, he may not even be able to keep his position as the crown prince!

So for the current plan, we should go to Tongzhou to meet the prince as soon as possible, the sooner the better...

'Crack', Taisun Zhongzhong smashed several Yuan blue and white vases!Many times, it is one thing to understand, but another to accept it!
"Why! Why!" Zhu Zhanji hissed and roared: "The emperor's grandfather is obviously the one who passed on the throne! But I want to give it up!"

"Because Your Highness is not strong enough." Hu Yu stood aside, looked at the grandson with a blank face, and said calmly: "Your Highness knows that he is not the opponent of the Crown Prince, or even Wang Xian, so His Highness dare not take out the will." After a pause, Hu Yun said slowly: "A legacy that cannot be produced means that there is no legacy."

"I know, I know, but I'm just not reconciled..." Zhu Zhanji said with a painful expression, beating his chest heavily.

"Then Your Highness should turn this unwillingness into motivation for self-improvement." Hu Yun said in a deep voice, "The sooner you become stronger, the sooner you will reveal your will!"

"..." Zhu Zhanji still looked painful, but nodded slightly.

"Eliminating the unhappiness between you and the prince is the first step for your highness to strengthen yourself." Hu Yu looked at the grandson and said softly: "After all, you are not the prince..."

Zhu Zhanji seemed to have been struck by lightning, and only then did he realize that he was only the grandson of the late emperor. After his father became emperor, he would not be able to make himself the crown prince!Although Zhu Zhanji didn't quite believe that the prince would risk the world's disgrace, but until the day of canonization, things will always change!And the second younger brother Zhu Zhanxi, who has been by his father's side all the time, is far more pleasing to his father than his elder brother!
Zhu Zhanji can even imagine that even if he can become the prince, his father will follow the example of the late emperor and suppress himself by supporting Zhu Zhanxi after he ascends the throne. , and must also alleviate the father's resentment towards him...

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji became agitated again, waved his hand and smashed the remaining blue and white porcelain bottle to the ground, stood up abruptly, and said harshly: "Prepare, I'm going to Tongzhou alone!"

There was still no expression on Hu Quan's face.

.

His Royal Highness Taisun decided to go to Tongzhou to meet the prince, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief, fearing that the father and son who had always been at odds would have another conflict!Although the face of the old Zhu's family has been lost, everyone has really had enough of the days of fear and fear, and wishes to return to the peaceful world as soon as possible.

"His Royal Highness Taisun has already led all ministers and cabinet scholars to set off," Chen Wu bowed his head as if in fear at Wang Xian's mansion, and reported to Wang Xian respectfully, "There must always be important ministers in the capital. Your Highness said, just Please, my lord."

Wang Xian was dressed in plain clothes, with a calm expression on his face, he nodded and said: "Thank you, Eunuch Chen, to answer the questions for Weichen, please just go, the capital will be handed over to Weichen."

"That's it, the slave hastened to answer." Chen Wu nodded and retreated. "Lord Hou bids farewell."

"Send off my father-in-law for me." Wang Xian glanced at Dai Hua, and Dai Hua sent Chen Wu out in response.

When Chen Wu left, Wu Wei snorted coldly and said, "A grandson usually guards against thieves, my lord is like a bright moon shining in a ditch!"

"Hehe," Wang Xian looked at Wu Wei with a smile, shook his head and said, "Anyone else would be on guard against me. Grandson's ability to entrust me with the capital is already a great trust."

"He knows that the Lord has missed the opportunity to rebel." Wu Wei said with a dark face: "That's why he can rest assured."

"You are still so straightforward." Wang Xian shook his head and smiled wryly: "To be honest, I have seriously considered these days, but I have no chance of winning at all." Wang Xian stood up, stood at the door with his hands behind his back, and looked outside. The swaying lotus pond said in a low voice: "The heart of the prince is with the prince, not with Jianwen, let alone with me."

"..." Hearing Wang Xian's words, Wu Wei's resentment faded a lot, and he sighed for a long time: "Then what shall we do in the future?"

"Are we?" Wang Xian rubbed his nose and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry for a few years, His Royal Highness cannot leave us."

"How many years later?" Wu Wei asked.

"A few years later..." Wang Xian's eyes gradually dimmed, and he said in a low voice, "Who's sure?" How long it could be, he couldn't tell.

"My lord, we won't really reach the end of the mountain, will we?" Wu Wei asked softly.

"..." Wang Xian was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "No, definitely not."

.

The scorching heat of midsummer scorched the land of North China. On days like this, people always hid in the shade and waited until the sun set and the heat dissipated before coming out for activities.

Today, however, the official road from Beijing to Tongzhou is full of people. The more than [-] imperial guards in Shangzhiwei are fully armed and lined up along the wide official road.The soldiers held knives and guns, let sweat soak their bodies, and remained motionless under the scorching sun!

The princes, nobles, and officials of all sizes in the capital were even more mobilized, and they followed His Royal Highness Taisun to Tongzhou in a mighty manner.The adults who usually rode horses and sedan chairs and pampered themselves with dignity, all walked today. Although the ground was covered with loess and sprinkled with water early in the morning, the hot sun scorched the water vapor and evaporated away, and the official road returned to its old dusty appearance. Sweat and muddy the official uniforms of Wang's ministers, dripping with water, sticking tightly to their bodies.

From time to time, elderly people fainted due to heatstroke, but even so, no one uttered an annoying word. Everyone gritted their teeth and moved their legs forward desperately. No one dared to miss the ceremony to welcome His Royal Highness .

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been considerate of his ministers. Hearing that the grandson led all the officials in Beijing to meet him on foot, he couldn't bear the fatigue of the ministers, so he hurriedly ordered them to go there in sedan chairs.Naturally, the officials thanked each other endlessly, but none of them obeyed the order and got into the sedan chair, and they all chose to walk.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent, as a courtier at this time, he has to put more effort into showing it. The truth that many people don't blame people for being courteous is universally applicable.

After traveling like this for more than [-] miles, when it was almost noon, there were already dozens of officials suffering from heat stroke, and the rest of the officials felt that they were about to lose their strength. Suddenly, they heard the cheers in front of them, and all the officials raised their heads blankly and wiped their hands. With the sweat on the eyelids, I saw a large army rumbling in the distance.

At this time, a general galloped over and reported to His Royal Highness, "His Royal Highness is sympathetic to His Royal Highness and the ministers, and ordered the army to move ahead! Your Highness and all adults, you can wait here!"

"I obey." Although Zhu Zhanji was young and strong, he felt that he was about to collapse, and he staggered to a stop when he heard the words.The officials behind them couldn't hold on any longer. Although they stopped moving forward, they stood there precariously. Many people sat down on the ground, and immediately got up again, gritting their teeth and waiting for the arrival of His Highness the Crown Prince.

This wait is a whole hour!His Royal Highness has too many troops. Thousands of cavalry holding golden locks, lying melons, broadswords, and painted halberds are followed by groups of infantry. These troops have different banners and slightly different uniforms. Look Zhu Zhanji and the others were dazzled, and many people were even more terrified... Although it has long been known that His Royal Highness has gathered more than [-] King Qin's troops under his command, only when he sees it with his own eyes can he truly understand that this is a powerful force. What a huge, what an invincible force!
Seeing this flamboyant army with no end in sight, Zhu Zhanji had mixed feelings in his heart. He was a little scared, but also a little lucky. Fortunately, he didn't show his will rashly!But after thinking about it, if he showed his will, would these troops belong to him?It's a pity that there is no way to verify it, I can only conjecture secretly...

It wasn't until after noon that there were almost [-] troops in the past, and the tottering Taisun and the ministers saw [-] Jin Yiwei guarding a chariot drawn by eight horses, rumbling from a distance.This chariot was built extremely wide, and one chariot almost filled the wide official road.Standing at each of the four corners of the car is a majestic general, all wearing luxurious armor, holding a sword hilt, standing awe-inspiring, just like the Four King Kongs in the temple!
Officials with good eyesight identified two of the four generals, namely the British Duke Zhang Fu and Anyuan Marquis Liu Sheng. As for the other two, they were a bit unfamiliar.Zhu Zhanji and the generals recognized Mo Wen and Xu Huaiqing respectively!
The generals are naturally full of jealousy, Mo Wen and Xu Huaiqing have only been in the army for ten years, and they were born in martial arts, not after the generals, but now they can stand side by side with the Duke of England and the Marquis of Anyuan, what luck!
But they also knew very well that Mo Wen Xu Huaiqing was the general who defended the prince desperately in the bloody battle in Zhenjiang!Now that the prince has won the final victory, it is natural to vigorously promote the direct line of his cronies!

His Royal Highness, however, was bitter in his heart. Mo Wen and Xu Huaiqing were the second of the four great generals in the avant-garde army of the government army. They were supposed to be his direct descendants, but they went to Shandong quietly, and now they are being praised by the crown prince again. It's not the same way as myself.Thinking of the tragic death of Qin A, Zhu Zhanji felt more and more alone, and the sadness came from it, and he shed two lines of tears.

Fortunately, in this situation, it is normal for His Royal Highness to shed tears...
