high official

Chapter 1113
Zhang Fu and Zhu Zhanji walked together to a place where there was no one in tacit understanding. The nobles knew that they had something to say, so they all stayed aside wisely.

The two walked to a secluded leeward place, Zhang Fu stood still, looked back at Zhu Zhanji, and said quietly: "We have already gambled everything, if His Highness retreats before the battle, it will be a disaster for us."

"Don't worry, my lord," Zhu Zhanji nodded his head heavily in the face of Zhang Fu's gaze, and said firmly, "For the sake of the emperor's country and holy name, I am willing to smash myself to pieces!"

"Your Highness..." Zhang Fu didn't look back, and asked after breaking the casserole: "Why didn't you take out the edict in your hand earlier?"

"I have already said that it is because of Gang Chang's loyalty and filial piety..." Zhu Zhanji explained, seeing that Zhang Fu was still expressionless, he was obviously dissatisfied with his answer.He sighed, and said softly: "There are indeed unavoidable difficulties. When the edict is released, the Lord will understand."

"I'm going to figure it out today," Zhang Fu was not so easy to fool. In the dark night, his eyes seemed to be shining coldly, making Zhu Zhanji's heart shudder, with a feeling of nothing to hide.

"This..." Zhu Zhanji was a little flustered and wanted to prevaricate, but Zhang Fu shouted like a bolt from the blue:
"Is it related to Wang Xian?!"

"Ah!" Zhu Zhanji cried out aloud. Although he quickly returned to normal, it was enough for Zhang Fu to verify his guess!
These days, Zhang Fu has been troubled by this problem. After thinking about it, he finally concluded that there is only one possibility—that is, His Royal Highness Taisun is playing tricks!
And it can make Zhu Zhanji so afraid that he doesn't even dare to take the throne. Looking at the Ming Dynasty, there is only one Wang Xian who can do it!

Once the two were connected, the more Zhang Fu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth!With Emperor Daxing's fear and hatred for Wang Xian, and Emperor Daxing's character of vengeance, if he can wake up on his deathbed and have the energy to leave a will to designate his heir, then he will definitely not let Wang Xian go!
However, given the extremely weak state of the emperor at the time, it is likely that he would not directly order to kill Wang Xian, but instead entrust this task to his designated heir as a price for accepting the throne.

Thinking about it in this way, Emperor Daxing probably added a condition in the edict to pass on the throne - Wang Xian must be killed in order to inherit the throne!
Looking back at the night of Zhu Di's death, there are many mysteries and confounding mysteries, but one thing is certain, from Zhao Wang's slaying of the king, to the escape of the grandson, and even the later Emperor Qin of the Forbidden Army, behind all the incidents, there is the looming figure of Wang Xian.

By the day after Zhu Di's death, Wang Xian's men had completely taken control of the imperial city. If they still regarded Wang Xian as the grandson's best friend, they would have been puzzled by the fact that the grandson held the will.However, if it is assumed that Wang Xian and Taisun were wary of each other, and Wang Xian's army had posed a serious threat to Taisun's life, it would not be surprising why Taisun dared not publish the will.

It's not that I don't want to, but that I don't dare, I'm just afraid of death...

.

Looking at Zhang Fu for a moment, Zhu Zhanji's thoughts turned.He knew that Zhang Fu had guessed the truth and firmly believed in his own judgment.At this time, if he was still stubborn, Zhang Fu would only despise him.

And the most important point, Zhang Fu has no turning back, even if he tells him the truth, he can only go to the dark side...

In a blink of an eye, Zhu Zhanji made up his mind, put on a bitter smile and said: "I only showed Zhang Xiang half of the will at the beginning, and he didn't see the second half of the content. The father-in-law expected it well, the emperor's grandfather The condition for giving me the throne is to kill Wang Xian first." He sighed, spread his hands together and said, "Everyone knows how many times I have died without Wang Xian's rescue. That heart." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Besides, I don't know who killed whom?"

The speculation was confirmed, Zhang Fu was not angry, but said in relief: "As expected..."

"So, after knowing the truth, where will the father-in-law go?" Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhang Fu. Although he was sure that Zhang Fu had no choice, he still felt a little nervous.

"Your Highness, don't ask questions knowingly." Zhang Fu looked at the Longevity Hill that was dyed white, and said lightly: "Let's think about the next step?"

"Naturally, I will obey the father-in-law's orders!" Zhu Zhanji said overjoyed, not caring about the alienation in Zhang Fu's tone.

"First of all, today's affairs must be properly concluded." Zhang Fu sighed and said: "What happened after the crying mausoleum deviated from the original plan of the ministers. The nobles killed the civil servants and completely destroyed the legitimacy that was so hard to win. Ruined."

"The nobles have been aggrieved for too long, and their emotions are difficult to control..." Zhu Zhanji said softly.

"The first ones who took the lead seemed to be Xue Huan and the others. After the fight, the situation became uncontrollable..." Zhang Fu looked at Zhu Zhanji and said quietly: "Your Highness has a will, and it seems that Xue Huan told my second son right?"

"What do you mean, Lord?" Zhu Zhanji's eyes flickered and said: "Could it be that I suspect that I am behind the scenes?"

"Don't dare." Zhang Fu shook his head indifferently, and said to himself: "Just letting them make trouble, Wei Chen's plan has gone bankrupt, and it is impossible to achieve our goal with the smallest cost." Said Looking at Zhu Zhanji, he said with deep meaning in his eyes: "Your Highness, are you ready to take on the state?"

Although Zhang Fu's tone was extremely flat, Zhu Zhanji's blood was racing, and he nodded heavily: "Gu is ready!"

Yes, today's murder of Xungui was provoked by Zhu Zhanji.The reason was that he was dissatisfied with Zhang Fu's plan. According to Zhang Fu's intention, he only needed to force the emperor to bow his head, get rid of the great scholars, and restore the Yongle system.There is no intention to let Zhu Gaochi step down.

Of course Zhu Zhanji couldn't agree with it, he was tossing and tossing, isn't it just to become the emperor?So secretly playing tricks and destroying Zhang Fu's plan...

Right now, more than a dozen court officials were killed and dozens of officials were injured. No matter how weak the emperor is, he must severely punish the generals, and it is impossible to make concessions to them. Otherwise, who else in the world would take the emperor seriously?
Zhu Zhanji is just playing tricks, forcing the nobles to follow him on the same path...

.

"Gu is ready!" Zhu Zhanji repeated.

"But we are not ready yet." Zhang Fu sighed and said, "Our greatest reliance is the will in the hands of His Highness. But once the will is announced, the emperor and Duke Zhen will definitely fight to the death." He said and looked at Zhu Zhan Ji Dao: "Your Highness thinks we can defeat them?"

"The two of them work together, we can't win. But if we divide and attack, we have a good chance of winning." Zhu Zhanji pondered: "Now that Wang Xian is in self-exile, far away in Shandong, this is the opportunity God gave us!"

"In your Highness' opinion, which side should be moved first?" Zhang Fu asked again.

"According to common sense, the wings and minions should be cut off first, but at this time, my father and those civil officials are pointing at Wang Xian for help. Even if there is iron evidence of his regicide, they will turn a blind eye." Zhu Zhanji Bitterly said: "My royal father and those great scholars are not idiots..."

"So, Wang Xian can't move." Zhang Fu asked slowly: "We can only move the emperor first?"

"That's right. After my father abdicated, we will publish the late emperor's last edict, and then reveal Wang Xian's crimes of killing the prince and grandson, and murdering the emperor Daxing. He will die." Zhu Zhanji nodded, murderously.Where is there a shred of old love.

"It makes sense, but we must ensure two things. First, during the coup, our army can control the capital, at least the imperial city must be in our hands." Zhang Fu nodded and said: "Second, during the coup, Wang Xian must be far away from the capital." The capital is in a state of being unaware, and he must not be given the opportunity to arrange it in advance." Apparently, Wang Xianmou's ability to plan and attack later made the British princess extremely jealous.

In the past, I don't know how many big people thought they had the chance to win, but they were overthrown by Wang Xian at the last moment, and even lost their underwear.The British don't want to repeat their mistakes, the best way is to take advantage of Wang Xian's absence in the capital, and cut the mess quickly without his knowledge!Don't give him a chance to plan!

"What the Lord said is very true." Zhu Zhanji agreed very much, and said in a deep voice: "But the situation in Beijing and China is tense right now, and Wang Xian must be watching here all the time. The news of Changling will soon spread. If it reaches his ear, it is possible for him to return to Beijing immediately!"

"Absolutely don't let him return to Beijing!" The British Duke, who had always been as steady as a mountain, suddenly changed his face, and said sharply, "Wang Xian returns to Beijing, and everything will be over!" How much pressure is the Duke?
"The last time Jin Youzi invited him back to Beijing, he came back with a bad nose." Zhu Zhanji said softly: "It seems that he doesn't want to be a gunman and a scapegoat for the emperor and the civil officials at all, and completely tear him up with you, my father-in-law." fall out."

"That's right, Lord Zhen is a smart man, and he is very loyal. If possible, I don't want to become an enemy with him." The British Duke sighed, and said quietly: "But what happened to Changling, he can still Do you live in Jinan?"

"Then give him a reason to stay." Zhu Zhanji's ability to make a quick decision is much better than his father. "At the same time reduce father and the others' desire for him!"

"If you heard me right, His Highness wants us to show weakness and back down?" The British Duke's face changed slightly.

"This is just an expedient measure. It is just to reduce the sense of crisis for the father and the emperor. They will not ask Wang Xian for a sky-high price in exchange for his return!" Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice: "And with all due respect, the current understanding of the nobles is still not good enough. Uniform, many people just want to vent their anger and let it out. Only when they are driven to a dead end, will they be determined to fight us to the end!"

"..." Zhang Fu looked at Zhu Zhanji firmly, nodded after a while, and said softly, "Your Highness is wise..."

"Okay!" With Zhang Fu's approval, Zhu Zhanji excitedly said, "Let's do this!"

"It's getting late, Your Highness, go back quickly." Zhang Fu looked at the nobles who were gradually quieting down in the distance, and said in a low voice: "As for the truth of the will, no third person will know."

"Okay! Then I'm relieved!" Zhu Zhanji's heart fell to the ground.
