high official

Chapter 923
The carriage drove almost silently in the night, and in the carriage, under the bright lights, Huang He looked at Zhu Gaosui pleadingly.

"Okay! Let's talk about it." Zhu Gaosui thought for a while, sipped the fine wine in his glass and said, "The emperor is an emperor through the ages, with profound thoughts and profound insights. He is very clear about the situation in Shandong."

"Yes." Huang He nodded, and said softly: "For four years in Jingnan, the emperor fought in Shandong for two years. After Jingnan, he punished Shandong a lot. I must be well aware of Shandong's current situation. "

"That's right." Zhu Gaosui nodded and said, "To the emperor at the beginning, Shandong was an enemy and an enemy. But after so many years, the little hatred in the emperor's heart has long since disappeared. In the eyes of the emperor, , Shandong and Shanxi are no different from Zhejiang and Guangdong. They are both a province of Ming Dynasty. The people in Shandong are all subjects of Emperor Yongle. Besides, after the capital is moved, Shandong is close to Gyeonggi. safely?"

"That's right. Although the emperor kept the memorial that the crown prince and Wang Xian handed in together last year, he has read it many times." Huang He said softly: "It seems that the hidden danger in Shandong has become a serious problem, and we can't get rid of it. .”

"But the problem in Shandong is that it is hard to return. It is an exaggeration to say that there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the bones are exposed in the wild, but it is not an exaggeration at all, but it is not an exaggeration at all, but it is easy to eat, the people are full of grievances, and the common people hate the court and regard the emperor as an enemy." Zhu Gaosui He took another sip of fine wine, sighed softly and said: "Even if the emperor has the power to reach the sky, he can't save Shandong's disease..." After a pause, he continued: "This is like the last year of the dynasty, when demons dance wildly and the country is about to fall, There is no way to maintain it, only let the world be in chaos, let people vent their anger, let the people suffer from the troubles of the troubled times, and understand the truth of "I would rather be a dog of peace than a man in troubled times", and then people will be able to calm down. Have a good time, everyone!"

"Did the Ming Dynasty...have it reached such a serious point?" Even though it was midsummer, after hearing Zhu Gaosui's words, Huang He still felt a chill run through his body.

"Of course not," Zhu Gaosui said with a consoling smile, "It's only a province in Shandong, and other places are much better. For example, Jiangnan, such as Beijing, isn't it all a scene of singing and dancing and prosperity?"

"That's good, that's good." Huang He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with some understanding: "It turns out that the emperor wants Shandong to be brought into chaos, and all the old accounts of the past will be buried in a war."

"Yes." Zhu Gaosui nodded with a smile.

"Since this is the case, the emperor will send anyone to Shandong at will. How can he let Wang Xian be this imperial envoy? Isn't this letting him die?" Huang He didn't understand again.

"Just let him die!" Zhu Gaosui's starry eyes flashed coldly and said: "This man is too strong, but his heart is completely towards the prince! The stronger he is, the greater the threat to the emperor, how can the emperor tolerate him?! "

"Didn't the emperor separate him from the prince?" Huang He asked puzzledly: "Our family was there at the time and saw Wang Xian's support for moving the capital over and over again. After he finished speaking, he saw the prince turn out from behind the screen. Wang Xian was dumbfounded at the time, although the crown prince couldn't say anything in front of the emperor, his complexion was also ugly."

"That's the two of them acting," Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "The relationship between two people is judged not by what they say, but by what they do." Duo Ji Shao, but he left all the bald donkeys that Yao Guangxiao left for him in Beijing, without taking any of them with him. Why? Isn’t it just to protect the prince?! A person puts your life more important than himself, you Does it matter what he says?!"

"No..." Huang He shook his head and smiled, thinking that there would never be such a person in this life.

"Also," Zhu Gaosui paused intentionally, and lowered his voice, "There's also the matter of my aunt, even if it's just gossip, whoever is the emperor will never show his eyes!"

"That's right!" Huang He was also a sensible person, and clapped his hands after hearing the words: "At that time, our family was still surprised that the emperor let Wang Xian go lightly, so it's not that he didn't report, the time has not yet come!"

"This is the benefit of being an emperor." Zhu Gaosui said with a smile: "Anyone who offends the emperor can't escape, sooner or later." In that matter, I played a disgraceful role in it.Although the father said afterwards that he would not pursue it anymore, who knows if he will still be brooding?
Thinking about what happened to Wang Xian, the answer is absolutely certain...

Huang He asked again, but seeing that Zhu Gaosui was in a state of trance, he could only call softly: "My lord."

"Oh, what did you say?" Zhu Gaosui came back to his senses and glanced at Huang He.

"Our family said, who annihilated Wang Xian's [-] troops?" Huang He had no choice but to repeat.

"White Lotus Sect." Zhu Gaosui said with a smile.

"Hey, you're making fun of our house." Huang He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "That's [-] elites. The White Lotus Sect is a group of mud legs. If you can eat them all, and none of them can escape, then you will be the Buddha's mother." You can really turn beans into soldiers and call wind and rain!"

"On the battlefield, anything can happen. Maybe they underestimated the enemy, maybe they took advantage of the location, in short, any result is possible." Zhu Gaosui still smiled and said: "Old Huang, there are some things that I don't tell you. It’s no good to know…”

"My lord, do you think the emperor knew the inside story here?" Huang He didn't care, lowered his voice again, and approached King Zhao and asked.

"The emperor doesn't know." Huang He is Zhu Gaosui's Austrian aid in the palace, a question just now can be vague, this question must not be sloppy.Shaking his head, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang said softly: "The emperor wants Shandong to be in chaos, but it is definitely not to bring in [-] troops, including the imperial envoy Marquis. That would be too detrimental and shameful. What the emperor hopes is control The chaos, not such a serious chaos..." Zhu Gaosui's voice was lowered, and Huang He had to strain his ears to hear: "But this world belongs to the emperor, but the emperor is not the only one who plays chess. Since the emperor started the game in Shandong, everyone wants to take advantage of the opportunity, what will happen is not the emperor's final say..."

Huang He knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and he had already understood Zhu Gaosui's implication. Obviously, the reason why Wang Xian's [-] army was not left behind was because someone was playing tricks in the dark.As for who it is, the only one in Shandong who has such great ability is the one from Le'an Prefecture!

"Then, what do you think, my lord, what will happen next in this Shandong game?" Huang He asked softly.

"The trend, God knows." Zhu Gaosui laughed at himself and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Every family hopes to follow their own path. Like my second brother, I naturally hope that the court will not be able to withstand the pressure, let him go out, and take command to put down the rebellion."

"In that case, His Royal Highness the King of Han will really be turned around." Huang He said in surprise: "The King of Han, as a prince, can recruit troops justifiably once he is in command. It's all in his hands..."

"As long as it drags on for a long time, even if the White Lotus Sect is wiped out, the military affairs of Shandong Province will still be in his hands." Zhao Wang nodded with a smile and said, "My second brother has a good plan. We can only acquiesce that he will become the real vassal king! Just wait...after Shenlong Bintian, from Shandong to Beijing, he will be able to sit on the dragon chair in less than four years."

"Four months is enough." Huang He was terrified, looked at Zhu Gaosui and said, "My lord, what is your position? Why does our family think that if you let the king of Han become king, you will have no benefit?"

"When the time comes, I will help him open the city gate, why won't he still give me the prince's salary?" Zhu Gaosui said with a smile.

"Don't be kidding me." Hearing the sound of the palace door opening, Huang He knew that it was not far to get off the car, so he hurriedly asked, "Is that why the lord can't trust the old slave?"

"What is Huang Gonggong talking about?" Zhu Gaosui said seriously: "You and I are brothers, how can I hide anything from you?" He sighed and said: "It is true that everyone has their own fate. If you want to change your fate against the sky, Difficult!" Seeing that Huang He was still a little confused, Zhu Gaosui explained: "After all these years, I have already understood that although my elder brother is a waste material, he has occupied the eldest son for decades, and it has already been deeply entrenched. That royal father can't be shaken!"

"Ah!" Huang He said in disbelief: "Isn't the prince exaggerating? If the emperor is really in a hurry, an edict can abolish the prince!"

"Childish, at that time the cabinet secretary will not be called in, and the six subjects will definitely refute the imperial decree! If the emperor fails to abolish the reserve, he will instead lose his authority, and let the world see clearly the weakness of the current imperial power!" Zhu Gaosui said with a strange expression: "There is no way, the sage is old and sick, and the prince is in his prime, the heart of the minister is like water, and the family of the emperor is like a market..."

"So, the prince judged that he would never win the crown prince?" Feeling Zhao Wang's frustration, Huang He also said with a downcast expression.

"It's not that I can't win, but that the chances of winning are too small." Zhao Wang smiled and said, "I still know the reason why the son of a daughter can't sit down. Since my second brother is going to fight the eldest brother, how can I not do it?" Watching from the wall, cheering for my brothers?! In case my second brother wins, my chance will come..." After a pause, he said: "If he loses, it will be completely finished this time, he Naturally, my inheritance will be inherited by me, Eunuch Huang, have you ever seen such a bargain?"

"So that's how it is!" Huang He admired sincerely: "My lord is far-sighted, and our family firmly believes that you must be the one who wins in the end!"

"I owe you a good word!" Zhao Wang nodded with a smile: "It's almost here, let's get off the bus."

"My lord has one last question." Huang He still couldn't get enough of it, "You said, is Wang Xian dead?"

"Shouldn't be dead." Zhao Wang smiled and said: "This question is of great significance to my two brothers, but to us, it is not worth mentioning..."

Having said that, the carriage stopped, and Huang He helped King Zhao off the horse.
