high official

Chapter 249
Zhu Zhan was basically ordered to study in the mansion. When he heard the news, he threw the book away and ran to his father.Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the exit, he found that he could no longer squeeze into the crowd.

There were huge crowds of people on the street, all the people who heard the news and came to cheer the prince, in all directions of Zhu Gaochi, they were all densely packed with people, only in front of him was an open space.There was no need for guards to open the way, and everyone consciously gave way, lest they delay the prince's progress.

The sound of cheering was louder and louder, injecting infinite strength into the already exhausted prince. He clearly felt that his legs were injected with strength again, supporting him step by step towards the Taiping embankment.

Overlooking this scene from the tower of Taipingmen, you will feel the most intuitive shock. The long passage that people spontaneously let out of the dark crowd like a tide looks like a long sword, piercing the eyes of the emperor on the tower. aching.

Zhu Di withdrew his gaze, and said to Yang Rong who was standing by, "What did you see?"

"Back to the emperor, I saw the greatness of the emperor's grace." Yang Ronggong said.

"Nonsense." Zhu Di snorted, and said coldly, "It's clear that people are against each other."

Yang Rong thought to himself, it's good that you always know, but on the face he straightened his clothes respectfully, and saluted the emperor: "Congratulations, Your Majesty's insightful eyes and pearls. The prince who chooses to deliver the artifact in the future can be supported by his subjects. It is indeed a blessing for all ages!"

What is level?This is called level!Yang Rong's meaning is very clear - he is your chosen heir, if he is unpopular, you can safely hand over the land to him?
After hearing this, Zhu Di still said coldly: "Jianwen is unpopular?"

Yang Rongxin said, aren't you talking about it?Emperor Jianwen lost the country, isn't it because you are too fierce, old man? "The crown prince has grown up and is stable. He is truly benevolent. How can he be as hypocritical as Jianwen?"

Zhu Di snorted and didn't answer, but asked again: "Do you think Zhou Xin can escape this disaster?"

"If the emperor wants him to die, he will die; if the emperor doesn't want him to die, he can live." Yang Rong said meaningfully.

"People say that Xie Jin is unparalleled in intelligence. I think he is far worse than Er Yang." Zhu Di then praised him. Why bother?" As he spoke, his eyes turned cold, apparently the hatred and murderous intent had not dissipated, and he said, "I kept him to let him open his eyes to see how I made the Ming Dynasty surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties and become the number one in the ages. Prosperity!" As he spoke, he punched the arrow stack with a nervous fist, and said through gnashing of teeth, "I must prove to him that what he scolded me is completely wrong!"

"The emperor calm down." Yang Rong hurriedly persuaded: "For the sake of a little Zhou Xin, it's not worth it if the dragon's body gets angry."

"You'd better worry about yourself." Zhu Di snorted, and changed the subject again: "Datong General Soldier secretly reported that Alutai's secret envoy has arrived in Datong, and he wants to pay tribute to me. Please send troops to ask for thieves. The old master Benya has failed." Li revenge, and willing to lead the vanguard."

"This is a good thing." Yang Rong has long been accustomed to the emperor's jumping thinking, so he also turned to side matters.Hearing that Arutai wanted to fight Mahamu together with the imperial court, he was naturally surprised and very happy, because he thought the emperor sent him to Gansu as punishment, and it turned out that he had an important mission.

"It's a good thing. So I will promise him that I plan to send troops to Wala next year." Zhu Di nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Therefore, your trip to Gansu must not be missed. You must properly handle all the attached ministries. You must never let a tribe, Join Mahmoud's banner."

"I understand." Yang Rong clasped his fists deeply.

"I'm back to the palace, you don't need to accompany me, go back and get ready to go." Zhu Di snorted, turned and went down the tower.

Yang Rong straightened up slowly, looking at the emperor's back, showing a look of admiration... He finally understood why the emperor finally pardoned Zhou Xin, because another imperial conquest was coming soon, and he needed a stable rear, this is decisive reason, and nothing else.

The overall situation is the most important thing in everything, which is why Zhu Di and Yang Guang do the same thing, one succeeds, but the other fails...

.

In that room, amidst the cheers of all the people, the prince finally arrived at the Taiping Causeway, and the execution ground on the Lonely Ridge was close at hand.

The gazes of Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang fell on the sundial, at this time the pointer will cover the engraving at three o'clock in the afternoon...

"It's time!" Ji Gang shouted in a low voice, reminding King Han that it was time to operate.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned by the turbulent crowd in the distance, and then he came back to his senses, took out the fire stick and threw it on the ground, and shouted: "The time has come, let's cut it!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd outside the gate was stunned. His Highness the Crown Prince tried his best, but he was still a hundred feet away, and his success was about to fall short!

At this moment, Wang Xian, who had been urging others to keep calm, suddenly climbed up the fence desperately, and shouted: "The emperor has a decree, keep people under the sword!" Immediately after Shuaihui, Erhei, Wu Wei, Xianyun, Lingxiao, Hengyun, Zhou Yong, more than 200 people shouted in unison: "The emperor has a decree, to keep people under the sword!"

The shouts quickly spread around the execution ground, and after a few times, they became uniform and converged into one voice——the voice of mountains shouting and tsunami:

"The emperor has a decree to keep people under the knife! The emperor has a decree to keep people under the knife!"

The extremely rhythmic sound waves rolled over, completely covering the sky above the execution ground, suppressing all other sounds, leaving only "The emperor has a decree, keep people under the sword!" 'Eight words echoed repeatedly in the field!

Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang finally changed their faces together, and Ji Gang loudly ordered his subordinates to control the situation.But Jin Yiwei is helpless at this time, even if he is fierce.Because everyone is shouting, they don't know who to arrest?The crowd didn't charge the execution ground, and they couldn't use knives or guns. They could only wave their whips in vain, intimidating the people: "Shut up, shut up!" But they were immediately drowned out by ten times and a hundred times the sound...

"Hurry up, you!" Zhu Gaoxu yelled at Liu Guan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments on the execution platform: "What are you doing in a daze?"

On the other side, Liu Guan pointed at his ear and shook his head vigorously, which meant that the noise was too loud and I couldn't hear clearly!

The executioner with a red cloth wrapped around his head, probably a fool for murdering people, holding a gleaming ghost knife, said in a muffled voice: "Minister, the lord seems to say, let us use the knife."

"I'll chop you up first!" Liu Guan gave that bastard a hard look, scaring him so much that he shrank his neck and dared not talk nonsense.Liu Shangshu is naturally pretending to be confused, even if he is not a princeling, but if he can become a minister, how can he not know that he cannot do things that cause public anger?
That being the case, he simply sold the favor home, and whispered to Zhou Xin who was kneeling aside: "My dear brother, even if I don't want Wusha, I will help you drag it until the prince arrives!"

There was no joy on Zhou Xin's face, but the pain could not be concealed.

"What?" Liu Guan asked in surprise.

"You can't ask for benevolence, you can't take righteousness. The emperor won't let me die, but I have become a person who is trying to gain fame." Zhou Xin's voice was already choked up when he said this: "Besides, according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", forging military orders is not a crime. Forgiveness, I am not dead, where is the code?!"

"If you say that in front of the crown prince, you're really trying to gain fame." Liu Guan sighed.

"Yes..." Zhou Xin sighed deeply, closed his eyes in pain, and stopped talking.

.

"What should we do?" Seeing that the situation was out of control, Ji Gang looked at the King of Han with a gloomy expression, "Don't stop doing one thing?"

The king of Han looked at the crowd with a dark face, and he had his own plan in mind.Ji Gang is a spy chief who is feared by everyone, so he is naturally not afraid of causing public wrath. He aims to be the crown prince, so how can he do such perverse things in public in a hurry?It's a no-brainer!

Therefore, after pondering for a long time, he still did not give an order, but gritted his teeth and watched the crowd roaring and tsunami, and a passage was branched from the middle!Seeing his eldest brother, His Royal Highness the Prince of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi, limping and appearing in front of his eyes.

You have to admire the strength of the spirit. Amidst the cheers of thousands of people, Zhu Gaochi seemed to be infused with infinite power, and he was in a much better state than before.In fact, his whole body was in a state of excitement. He walked to the center of the execution ground step by step, then dropped his crutches and stood still with his own strength.Trembling took out the piece of yellow silk from his arms, and raised his hands high!

A bright red word 'forgiveness' appeared in front of everyone, and the spectators knelt down like wind blowing wheat waves, shouting long live!
The onlookers knelt down, the guard Jin Yiwei knelt down, and even Liu Shangshu, King Han and Ji Gang knelt down.Inside and outside the execution ground, everyone knelt down, only the crown prince stood upright in the center of heaven and earth holding the word 'forgiveness' high!

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

"Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

The people shouted repeatedly, this is their sincere cry, otherwise it is not enough to express their excitement and joy!
Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang didn't show any interest in admiration, but they are very human after all.After coming down from the high platform, he had already adjusted his mood, at least nothing could be seen on the surface.The two walked up to the prince and bowed their hands to him, Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "I'm so anxious, the eldest brother finally arrived on time!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded, and said with a pale smile, "Brother, I can't walk even a step, why don't you come help me."

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly supported his right arm, while the eunuch of the East Palace supported the Prince's left arm, but almost failed to do so, and saw that Zhu Gaochi's legs were trembling, and it was true that he could not move any further.But who cares, what if he is paralyzed now?

The prince's car drove in.Zhu Gaoxu and several eunuchs carried the prince to the car, he chuckled in his elder brother's ear and said, "Brother, what a beautiful day today."

"I also have to thank my virtuous brother." Zhu Gaochi said cheerfully, "If it wasn't for your help, I wouldn't have this opportunity to show my face."

"Hehe..." I don't know if the prince is being sarcastic or what, anyway, Zhu Gaoxu's nose is almost crooked.

In that room, as soon as Ji Gang and Jin Yiwei withdrew, Wang Xian and others rushed up to the execution platform, grabbed Zhou Xin with countless hands, threw him in the air, then caught him, then threw him again, and caught him again, the laughter went straight to the sky!
