high official

Chapter 1197

In the Qianqing Palace, the atmosphere in the bedroom gradually became less harmonious.

The father and son of the Tian family had a misty shot, and then some words were not speculative.

Zhu Gaochi finally stopped beating around the bush, looked at Zhu Zhanji and said, "I heard that Beijing has been very unsettled recently, and it has something to do with Dongchang's misconduct. I'm not saying that you shouldn't rebuild Dongchang, but you should put more restraint on it and don't let them interfere. to the normal life of the people.”

"My father taught me that," Zhu Zhanji nodded, but the next sentence became: "It's just that serious illnesses require strong medicine. Now is not the time to restrain Dongchang. The common people will inevitably suffer for a while. Let's wait until the overall situation is settled."

"When will the overall situation be settled?" Zhu Gaochi asked with a frown after being pushed back neither softly nor hard.

"Soon." Zhu Zhanji replied: "Dongchang has collected thousands of crimes against Wang Xian, and sorted out twelve unpardonable crimes from them. My minister asked them to consolidate the charges. It can be debated." After a pause, he smiled and said: "Then we can announce it to the world, and the coffin will be finalized!"

"Hey, why is this..." Zhu Gaochi's expression darkened, and he sighed: "Is there no way to relax?"

This is what Zhu Zhanji hates the most about him. He wants to set up an archway even after becoming a prostitute!Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, the prince said in a deep voice: "Father, it is a matter of the survival of the country, so there is no way to be merciful!"

"I still feel that you are in a hurry." Zhu Gaochi frowned, and said slowly: "In case, I say it is in case, if Wang Xian comes back, I'm afraid he won't let it go."

"Father! My son-in-law has withdrawn the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, arrested and imprisoned all Wang Xian's relatives outside Shandong, and sent people to Hetao to take over his remaining troops. There is no room for delay in this matter. !" Zhu Zhanji said sharply: "We can only use thunderous means to get through to the end, and the overall situation should be settled as soon as possible!"

"Hey..." Zhu Gaochi also knew that since Zhu Zhanji was asked to do it, he could only accept his style, and everything he said would be in vain.

The father and son were about to end this meaningless conversation when Zhang Cheng came in to report that Yang Shiqi had something urgent to see.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, because the emperor is now ignorant, and all major military and state affairs are reported to the prince.The crown prince had just arrived at Qianqing Palace for a while, and Yang Shiqi couldn't wait, obviously something serious happened!

"Hurry up!" Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji said in unison.

Zhang Cheng hurried out, and after a while, he brought in the distraught Yang Shiqi.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji looked at Mr. Chief Assistant, who was usually in front of the collapse of Mount Tai, but now his face was sallow, his lips were trembling, his steps were staggering, and there were two soil marks on the knees of the lower part of his official robe. , seems to be tripped on the way.

Yang Shiqi knelt down in front of the two masters, opened his mouth a few times, but couldn't speak.

"What happened to make the chief assistant panic like this?" Zhu Zhanji wanted to show his composure, and joked, "Could it be that the sky has fallen?"

"Yes, the sky is falling!" Yang Shiqi said as if mourning: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, you must be mentally prepared..."

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Gaochi, and thought that my father is not dead yet?Zhu Gaochi said to himself, my father is already dead!

"Say! What the hell is it?!" Zhu Zhanji shouted angrily: "What else in this world is something that my father and son can't stand?!"

"Wang Xian, Wang Xian is not dead yet..." Yang Shiqi said in a miserable voice.

"Ah!" Zhu Gaochi's head buzzed, and he sat up from the bed in shock, and Zhu Zhanji stood up from the brocade pier in shock!
"He really didn't die..." Zhu Gaochi wailed weakly: "I'll just say it, you guys are too hasty..."

"So what if he comes back?" Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth with fierce eyes and said, "It's not that we didn't expect it. We have made complete preparations, and we are afraid that he will fail alone?!"

"He's not alone, there are [-] troops..." Yang Shiqi trembled.

"Ah!" Zhu Gaochi's eyes darkened when he heard this, he almost fainted, and fell down on the bed again.

Zhu Zhanji also slumped down on the brocade pier, and without the arrogance just now, he shook his head vigorously and said, "How is it possible, how is it possible?!"

"The veteran also thought it was impossible, but he hurried eight hundred miles ahead, saying that Wang Xian wiped out the remnants of the Tatars, captured Alutai and his son, wiped out the three guards of Duoyan, killed Geerma, and captured Chakehan and Darhan , has led more than 3 cavalry, joined his more than 2 infantry, and arrived at Dawangcheng today..." Yang Shiqi said in a trance, like seeing a ghost in the daytime: "Maybe they are teasing the old ministers, how could this be Really, will Wang Xianhui be able to do demon magic? Hehe, it's definitely impossible..."

It is not Zhu Gaochi and his son who are most afraid of Wang Xianquan's return, but him, the chief minister of the cabinet...

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji's father and son knew very well that the news must not be wrong. Wang Xianzhen created a miracle and led his army to sweep across the grassland.

The emperor and his son suddenly remembered that Wang Xian had always been a man capable of creating miracles, but he had been so quiet these years, it seemed that people had forgotten his glorious achievements in the past.

Only this time, it's different from before!In the past, it was just playing tricks and tricks. As long as he was clever enough, he would naturally have a chance to come back.But this time it's a battle of 10,000+ troops with real knives and real guns on the battlefield!How could he eat up enemies twice as many as himself when the food and grass were cut off and the enemy was attacked?
If the Tatars and Duoyans hadn't been wiped out, Alutai, Geerma and others were either captured or killed, and none of them escaped. The emperor and his son must have thought that this was a joint act of their collusion. A bad show!

But, this is not a drama, but a bloody reality...

.

It took the three of them a full hour to accept the fact that Wang Xian had won a complete victory and the king returned. As for how long it would take to digest the impact, it would probably take a long time, or even a lifetime.

But the most urgent thing is to put all fear and shock behind you and focus on thinking clearly about how to deal with the next situation.

Emperor Hongxi was dizzy and coughed again and again. He really didn't pretend this time. He felt that he would pass out at any time, but he held on by himself, looked at Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shiqi and said, "What should I do, you two have a charter ?”

"Father, you don't have to panic too much," Zhu Zhanji said calmly: "We have made sufficient preparations before, and set up three lines of defense in Dawangcheng, Xuanda, and Juyongguan. There are 10,000+ troops in total, which are enough to resist the king. Xian's invasion!"

"The Tatars and the Duoyans are both 10,000+ troops, and they were eaten up." Zhu Gaochi was not so easy to fool, and frowned: "Besides, they are all cavalry, your 10,000+ The army, I'm afraid nine out of ten are infantry, how can we stop Wang Xian's army?"

"At least there is the Great Wall." Zhu Zhanji said bravely.He also knew that Dawangcheng and Xuanda were just cities. If the army dared not go out of the city to meet the enemy, they could only watch the enemy cross the border.What's more, it's not certain who the Great King City will fall into.

"There is only the Great Wall..." Zhu Gaochi sighed, and said quietly: "If Juyongguan is knocked open, Qingqi can come to Beijing in a day. We have to consider whether to stick to Beijing, or..." Zhu Gaochi looked at the two, He whispered, "The capital is still in Nanjing."

"Your Majesty!" "Royal Father!" Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shiqi were both taken aback, but the idea of ​​moving the capital popped up in the emperor's mind.Yang Shiqi knew that he had made a mistake, and he had never dared to say anything before, but now he couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Your Majesty! Then Wang Xian is alone, with no territory and no backup. It can be called a tree without roots, and it will not be a fatal threat to us." Threat! Besides, those soldiers may not be willing to fight against the imperial court with him, as long as we take proper measures, we will surely divide his troops and greatly weaken his strength."

"Shou Fu is right!" Zhu Zhanji immediately echoed, "It's still too early to discuss moving the capital, and the people of the world will look down on us for no reason, thinking that the emperor is afraid of Wang Xian to the point of running away!"

In his desperation, his words were a bit harsh, and Zhu Gaochi coughed again and again in anger, pointing at the two of them and said: "If you didn't do things so badly, why should I do this?!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Highness's words are inappropriate, but the truth is correct!" At this moment, Yang Shiqi finally calmed down and said, "Now that Wang Xian's army has not returned, we can't mess up our own positions first! We should focus on, see See if you can keep him out of the mouth, if not, I am willing to tie myself out of Juyongguan, take all the blame for my crimes, and vent my anger on him!"

"Hey, what's the use of talking about it now?" Zhu Gaochi shook his head, and said bitterly, "I've already said that once this matter comes out in broad daylight, I won't be able to get rid of it." He coughed twice and settled his mind. : "At this point, it's useless to say anything, let's face it together with sincerity and unity!"

"Yes!" Under Wan Jun's heavy pressure, the prince finally stopped sacrificing with his father and became united with the enemy.

"You do three things," Zhu Gaochi said slowly: "First, announce the news of the great victory. Then, release the prisoners in the imperial prison. Third, restore all the reputations and official positions of Wang Xian and others."

"Father!" Zhu Zhanji became anxious immediately, his face was red and his ears were red: "Our previous efforts are all in vain, and Wang Xian and the others will not appreciate it!"

"Idiot," Zhu Gaochi shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect them to appreciate it. What I want to win is the hearts of the people, and it's reasonable to win..."

"People's hearts? Reason?" Zhu Zhanji froze for a moment.

"The emperor is holy!" Yang Shiqi suddenly realized, and said with admiration: "This is the invincible way of kingship!"

"What kingly way?" Zhu Gaochi showed a strong self-deprecating expression, and slowly shook his head: "How can I have the face to be kingly way? It's just a shameless means..."
