high official

Chapter 833 Farce
"I will pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Everyone knelt down towards the gate in unison, and the plump figure of the prince appeared in front of everyone.

"Let's all get flat." Zhu Gaochi, with Zhu Zhanxi's support, walked across the high threshold of the Prince's Mansion and came to the gate.

"Thank you, Your Highness." The courtiers stood up one after another, watching the prince walk in front of Wang Xian.

"Your Highness..." Wang Xian whispered.

Zhu Gaochi patted Wang Xian on the shoulder, and said apologetically, "It's hard for you to shield me from the wind and rain..."

"Your Highness..." Although Wang Xian was annoyed, he still couldn't speak because his throat was choked up so as not to feel warm.

"However, let Gu handle it by himself." Zhu Gaochi shook Wang Xian's hand vigorously: "What kind of gentleman is he who shrinks back?"

Wang Xian knows that Zhu Gaochi has the kind of temperament that hides needles in the cotton, looks cowardly, but actually hides arrogance.Hearing this, he could only nod his head in agreement.

"Remove the fence." Zhu Gaochi looked at the barbed wooden fence and said with a smile, "They're all powerless scholars, there's no need for it."

Wang Xian waved his hand, and the Jin Yiwei under him hurriedly removed the barricades. After a cup of tea, the Prince's Mansion returned to normal.

"What are you looking for?" The prince then cast a questioning look at the civil servants.

"Your Highness!" All the civil servants knelt in front of the crown prince in unison, and shouted loudly together: "The ministers kneel down and ask Your Highness to be the master, and lead us to petition the emperor to cancel the intention of moving the capital!"

"Yes!" The leader, Ji Benqing, then explained loudly: "We are not waiting for our own self-interest! But for the sake of our ancestors and the future generations of Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" All the civil servants kowtowed together, tears streaming down their faces: "The capital must never be moved!"

"Everyone, get up quickly, let's have something to talk about." Zhu Gaochi looked at the scene where the wailing was everywhere, and his head was like a fight.

"If His Highness doesn't agree, we won't get up if we die!" As expected, the officials really showed the housekeeping skills of crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves.

"Then I'll die on my knees..." Erhei and the others watched indifferently and muttered angrily.What they got in exchange was Wang Xian's stern gaze, and everyone had to keep their mouths shut and honestly...watch the show.

.

"Hey," the prince could only let them kneel down, and said helplessly: "The emperor has no intention of moving the capital, I don't know where you heard the rumors from?!"

"How could it be a rumor!" The officials couldn't allow the prince to pass the test vaguely, and asked loudly: "During the New Year, why did your highness offend the emperor!" ?!"

"This..." The prince sighed: "It is true that I said it, but it was just a private chat between father and son, and I didn't mention it again after that. Are you a bit of a ghost?"

"This..." Seeing the crown prince's denial, the officials couldn't help being discouraged, but after all, there are too many people, and someone immediately said loudly: "Your Highness, I heard that the emperor called you to go north, dare I ask if there is such a thing?"

"Yes..." Zhu Gaochi, as the crown prince, naturally couldn't talk nonsense like Wang Xian, so he nodded his head with difficulty.

"Now that the emperor is in Beijing, and the crown prince is going north, who will be in charge of the capital?!" The officials asked angrily, "Or is it that there is no need to care about the capital anymore?!"

"This..." Zhu Gaochi was speechless after being questioned.

"Your Highness! The emperor's intention to move the capital is clearly revealed!" Ji Ben roared nervously with red eyes, "If you still want to protect my Ming capital! You can only stand up now! Once you go to Beijing, everything will be over Yea!"

"Gu..." Although Zhu Gaochi came out after being fully prepared, he was still frantically forced by the ministers, sweating profusely, and said with a tongue-tied voice: "You can't do that."

"Why!" Baiguan's face couldn't hide his disappointment, but more of it was rebellious, "Could it be that His Highness ignored his ancestor Jiang in order to please the emperor?!"

"No, I am far away from my father now, and I will lead you to catch up with the wind and write a joint letter, only to see the suspicion of your father, and make the matter completely out of hand!" Zhu Gaochi sighed, trying to persuade them: "This matter Big body, everyone, let me think carefully for a few days, okay?"

Wang Xian finally understood that the prince didn't have any good ideas, he just dragged it out for a day...

Hearing what the prince said, many civil servants looked relaxed and wanted to nod in agreement.However, there were some people who didn't know whether they were dead-headed or with ulterior motives, and they yelled loudly: "Your Highness, just think about it! It's just that if you think about it for one day, we will kneel for one day! If you think for ten days, we will kneel for ten days!"

"That's it! It's a major event for the community, death is not a pity! If you don't agree, we will kneel and die here!" Many people immediately responded loudly, and now no one dared to let go, and they all looked at His Highness the Crown Prince with grief and indignation. ...

"Don't go too far!" Feeling his father's hand trembling badly, Zhu Zhanxi finally couldn't help but yelled loudly: "You are forcing the prince so much! Do you still look like a minister?!"

"Second Young Master's words are wrong!" The officials finally seized the opportunity, but how could they be suppressed by him, a yellow-mouthed kid, and plausibly said: "The people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the least!"

"If you want to write a letter, just write it?!" Zhu Zhanyu couldn't resist, and immediately lost his position, "Why do you have to drag my father!"

"Your Highness is still young, so of course you don't understand!" The ministers became more and more complacent: "His Royal Highness, as the crown prince, has a duty-bound duty!"

"..." Zhu Zhanzhen didn't know what to do, and suddenly felt that the weight in his hands was a lot heavier, and then he came back to his senses and looked at his father—but saw Zhu Gaochi's face was beaded with sweat, and his face was like Blank paper, a pair of dull eyes opened!
"Father!" Zhu Zhanyu screamed, and Zhu Gaochi fell limply in his arms, and passed out...

"Your Highness!" "His Royal Highness the Prince!" The officials were also stunned, and they hurriedly got up to check on the situation of the Prince.

"Stop them!" Wang Xian, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, immediately changed into a murderous face, and the Jin Yiwei surged up like a tidal wave, blocking the civil servants seven feet in front of the prince!
"Get out of the way!" The civil servants shouted, pushing Jin Yiwei: "We want to see Your Highness!"

"Get out!" A thunderous voice burst out from Zhu Zhanxi's throat, and everyone was stunned.Zhu Zhanxi's eyes were bloodshot and his face was full of hatred, and he said every word: "Are you going to force my father to death?!"

"This..." The young man's words full of grief and indignation were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the furious fire in the hearts of the civil servants.Everyone was silent, standing there at a loss...

Watching Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanxi carry the crown prince into the mansion, the gate of the mansion was slowly closed, and the civil servants were discouraged. They never expected that such a good situation would turn into such a situation in the blink of an eye...

"Hurry up and get out?!" Erhei and others are used to meeting with wind and wind, and they don't know what to do when they see that the civil servants are confused.One by one, they were fierce and shoved the civil servants out.The civil servants couldn't stand now, and let Jin Yiwei push them away... Even the most stubborn guys knew the current situation, and it was useless to stay any longer.

Once the civil servants retreated, they all left the Prince's Mansion in a short while, driven by Jin Yiwei.In the square, it was finally quiet. Only the trampled black yarn and the folding fan on the ground can prove that a farce has just happened here...

.

In the palace of the prince's mansion, after hearing the news, the imperial doctor came to examine the prince, and said that there was nothing serious about it, it was just a sudden rush, and he would recover after a while, so everyone was relieved.

The imperial physician prescribed Anyang again, and then withdrew.Only the Crown Princess, Zhu Zhanxi, and Wang Xian were left in the bedroom. Wang Xian comforted the Crown Princess and was about to leave when he suddenly saw the Crown Prince opened his eyes.

"Father, you are awake!" Zhu Zhanxi also found out, and threw himself to the bed and wept with joy.The Crown Princess Zhang also wiped away her tears and kept saying, "It's really worrying people."

"You go out first, I have something to say to Zhong De." The prince looked at his wife and children apologetically, leaving only Wang Xian.

When the crown prince and Zhu Zhanxi stepped back as promised, the crown prince had a self-deprecating and wry smile on his face, and Wang Xian also had a wry smile on his face.

"Hey, in the end, I still have to use your move." The prince sighed helplessly. He really had no choice but to pretend to be fainted to pass the test.

"Your Highness's method is much more thorough than that of a minister. Now no one will suspect that you are pretending." Wang Xian smiled and said: "You can rest at ease to recover from your illness."

"Actually," the prince sighed again, "Gu wanted to persuade them to go back, but...they didn't listen at all."

"Hey." Of course Wang Xian wouldn't say 'I thought of that earlier', and said with a smile: "Now it's a very good result, and it's harmless to His Highness, and it's also harmless to the government."

"That's right..." Zhu Gaochi sighed again, and the monarch and ministers were silent for a while before hearing the prince ask: "Are they still outside?"

"It's already gone." Wang Xian said with a sneering smile, "I'm worried that His Highness really has something wrong, and I can't afford to walk around."

"It's good to be gone..." Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Xian wearily and said, "How long can we delay?"

"Look at His Highness's condition." Wang Xian smiled slyly and said, "I think it is reasonable and reasonable that the illness will not improve until autumn."

"Take that long?!" Zhu Gaochi couldn't help gasping: "Everyone knows that Gu is just pretending to be sick..."

"There is no other way." Now it was Wang Xian's turn to sigh, and he said with a wry smile: "Only in this way can the emperor and all the officials live well..."

"Hey, that's the only way to go..." Zhu Gaochi sighed, and asked softly, "When shall we leave?"

"Autumn..." Wang Xian replied softly.

"I just knew..." Zhu Gaochi saw that what he expected was right, and said with a more sleepy expression: "You are also tired, go back and rest earlier."

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded and tiptoed out.
