Chapter 924 Must Get Him Back

When King Zhao arrived at the palace, Taisun, Duke Cheng, Duke Ding, Marquis Anyuan, Marquis Yangwu, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and all the senior scholars had already arrived.Not surprisingly, there was no sign of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Seeing that everyone had come together, Zhu Di with a livid face said: "I think you all know about the Shandong matter. My [-] elite soldiers, as well as Guo Yi and Wang Xian, have all been eaten by the White Lotus Sect! "Speaking, Zhu Di sneered and said again and again: "It seems that I really underestimated the mother of Laoshizi Buddha. She really has the ability to reach the heavens and the earth, it's amazing!"

Seeing that the emperor was in a fit of anger, all the princes dared not speak, and could only obediently listen to Zhu Di's swear words to vent their emotions. After Zhu Di's outburst was over, Yang Rong said softly: "Your Majesty, the plan for the present is to quickly select generals and elite soldiers to go to Shandong. Stabilize the situation, we must not let the poison of the White Lotus Sect spread to neighboring provinces!"

This speaks to Zhu Di's heart. The emperor wants Shandong to be in chaos, but he never wants to see the world in chaos. Moreover, Shandong is more than 800 miles away from the capital. Once the White Lotus Sect escapes from Shandong, it will inevitably invade Beijing. Even if the pacification is successful, the emperor's face will be too ugly.

"Then who do you think we'll send this time?" Zhu Di said with a sullen face, "Guo Yi is my hero, if he's not good enough, who can I send?"

"This..." The princes didn't dare to say anything for a while, recommending a general is a guarantee, and if the general succeeds immediately, the recommender will be credited;
Seeing that no one dared to respond, King Zhao smiled and said, "Father, why do you want to look far away? There is a general in Shandong Province, and my son guarantees with his head that he will be able to destroy the white lotus in one fell swoop, capture the Buddha's mother, and return the father to the emperor." Peaceful Shandong!"

"Oh, which one are you talking about?" Zhu Di frowned, obviously asking knowingly.

"My second brother, His Royal Highness the King of Han!" Zhao Wang raised his chest slightly, and said seriously: "In terms of ability, qualifications, and loyalty to the emperor, my second brother is unique, so I think that I can not avoid it. relative!"

"It's good to be a good man who does not avoid relatives," Zhu Di had an elusive smile on his face, and looked at the crowd noncommittally: "What do you think?"

"This..." Duke Ding Xu Zengshou echoed, "I think what His Royal Highness King Zhao said is true!"

"Your Majesty! Absolutely!" Jin Youzi couldn't help but shouted: "For more than ten years, the imperial court has been unswervingly weakening the vassal kings. This is the national policy appointed by His Majesty! How can you change course because of a temporary setback?! What's more His Highness the King of Han still has a criminal record, and it would be too dangerous to hand over power to him!"

Ordinarily, the grand maesters always speak with concealment, and never speak plainly like this.Jin Youzi is risking completely offending Han Wang Zhao Wang and even the vassal kings of the world, but also to make Zhu Di realize the seriousness of the problem and prevent the possibility of causing trouble to Xiao Qiang!
Jin Youzi was so desperate, Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi naturally followed up with all his strength, and the former said seriously: "Your Majesty! Although Bailian's momentum is great, it is only a weak disease, and strong feudal clans are the real hidden danger! It is not a sage's plan to drive away tigers and wolves! "

"Yes, Your Majesty! This must not be made a rule! Otherwise, the disaster of the Eight Kings will be unavoidable!" Yang Shiqi also spoke righteously.

Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji naturally couldn't stand idly by seeing the three bachelors go into battle with their shirts off, and came out to support them one after another.

For a while, the opposition drowned out the voices of King Zhao and Xu Zengshou...

Zhu Di looked at the ministers under the steps, his eyes flickered for a while, and then he sighed quietly: "Then tell me, who else is available?"

"Your Majesty, the best candidate is far away and in front of you." Yang Shiqi said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please join us! Your Majesty is wise and martial, with outstanding military exploits, and he will surely succeed!"

Zhu Zhanji's eyes were always red. From the time he came in to now, he hasn't said a word, but his face is tense.Hearing Yang Shiqi's words, he suddenly stepped out, knelt down in front of Zhu Di, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Grandfather! Grandson please order me to fight and avenge my poor brother!" famous.

"No!" Zhao Wang immediately objected: "Who doesn't know that His Highness Taisun used to rely on Wang Xian! As a coach, it is a good thing to know people and make good use of them! But now Wang Xian is in Shandong, and Taisun has gone. What's the use?!" King Zhao can accept the fact that King Han cannot go out of the mountain for the time being, but he can't accept that his grandson goes to Shandong, and if Zhu Zhanji goes to Shandong, King Han will be in big trouble!
Zhao Wang bowed his hands to Zhu Zhanji, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, I didn't intend to target you! It is really the prince who is based on nurturing virtue, Your Highness must cherish feathers!"

"Grandpa Emperor!" Zhu Zhanji finally couldn't help it, tears came out of his eyes, and choked up: "You just let me go, if you don't take revenge, grandson swears not to be human!"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji, shook his head slowly and said, "I can't live without you, you can't go..."

"Grandfather..." Zhu Zhanji knew that once Zhu Di made up his mind, there was no reason to change it, so he couldn't help feeling sad, and burst into tears in the hall!
Huang He and Eunuch Yang hurried forward, helped His Highness the grandson who was out of control, and helped him to a side hall to rest.

The princes couldn't help but secretly startled. Although they knew that His Royal Highness and Wang Xian were young and had an unusual relationship, they really didn't expect that His Royal Highness had such deep feelings for him!I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has not eaten a grain of rice since yesterday, probably because of the news about Wang Xian... The princes couldn't help feeling a little maliciously glad that the surname Wang died, otherwise how will everyone mess around in the future?
After Zhu Zhanji was helped down, Zhu Di looked at Anyuan Hou Liusheng and said, "Old Liu, please go for a walk..."

All the princes were startled again when they heard the words, who is Liu Sheng?Although he does not show the mountains and does not show water, he is Zhu Di's most trusted and loyal confidant. He has never been away from the emperor for many years. Now he is sent to Shandong to suppress the rebellion. It can be seen that the situation in Shandong has far exceeded the emperor's tolerance limit!

Liu Sheng responded in a deep voice, and Zhu Di apologized again: "However, there are not many soldiers for you, and the imperial court's money is tight. You can only bring [-] soldiers and horses to the headquarters. As for the shortage, I have to ask you to find a way in Shandong."

"Observe the order!" Liu Sheng replied in a deep voice, without haggling at all.He knew that the imperial court was going to rebuild the three main halls, and they would have to tighten their belts in the next few years.

"Go..." Zhu Di suddenly felt tired, waved his hands slowly and said, "Come over at noon tomorrow, and have dinner with me, and then I will talk to you face-to-face."

"Yes!" Liu Sheng complied, bowing and leaving with all the princes.

.

When Zhu Di retreated to the inner bedroom, it was already the fourth watch. Zhu Zhanji, with red eyes, stepped forward to help him undress and go to bed.

But Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Stop making troubles, just sit and wait for court."

"Grandpa Huang, there is still an hour, so let's squint for a while." Zhu Zhanji said softly.

Zhu Di sat down on the easy chair, swayed slightly and said, "I don't feel it when I'm old, if you're sleepy, just stare here for a while."

"The grandson is not sleepy, the grandson can't sleep..." Zhu Zhanji's eyes turned red, and he was about to cry again.In fact, he knew about Wang Xian one day earlier than Zhu Di, and he was stunned immediately.From meeting in Suzhou to Li Daitao stiff in Kowloonkou, the two of them shared life and death together through ups and downs these years. Zhu Zhanji himself didn't realize how much weight Wang Xian has in his heart!

And this pain is also mixed with deep guilt, Zhu Zhanji asked himself how many times, if he could resolutely win the military power for Wang Xian, would his good brother not have to die so useless?

"Don't be like this, my prince can't be a weak person!" Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Zhanji with some dissatisfaction, and his voice became harsh unconsciously.

"Yes, Grandpa Huang, it's just that Wang Xiantao," Zhu Zhanji wiped the corner of his eyes with the back of his hand, choked up and said, "It's different..."

"Hey, it's really different," Zhu Di sighed softly. He has seen thousands of courtiers in his life, and he has never left such a deep impression on him like Wang Xian.The emperor sighed again and said, "It's a pity..."

.

In the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sitting dryly in the meditation room, facing two eminent monks who are compassionate and strict.The Zen room is lit with high-quality agarwood, white smoke curls up, and the room is filled with a sense of sadness.

"Gu should let you accompany him to Shandong." Zhu Gaochi's eyes were red, and his face was full of sadness.

"Junior Brother stayed with us in Beijing to protect His Highness's safety." Xin Ci sighed and put his hands together: "Amitabha, this is his fate!"

"Yes." Xin Yan nodded and said: "Only after passing through this calamity can we achieve true results in cultivation!"

"So, the two masters believe that Zhong De is not dead yet?" Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up.

"I have no doubts!" ​​Compassionate and Yan Yan said in unison, "He must still be alive!"

"Why did you say that?" Zhu Gaochi looked at the two eminent monks expectantly, hoping that they would tell him something inside.

"Intuition." Xin Cibao said solemnly.

"Uh..." Zhu Gaochi almost didn't hold back his anger, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "You two masters, I have only one request."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Please take the brothers from the same sect and bring him back to Shandong." Zhu Gaochi said seriously, "Please!"

"Your Highness wants to go with us," Xinci said, "The poor monk came this time to bid farewell to His Highness," he looked at Xin Yan and said: "I have discussed it with my senior brother, and he will continue to work with half of the staff." His Royal Highness the guardian of the capital, I will take the other half to Shandong!"

"There is no need to keep so many people in the capital. Who else would dare to assassinate in the East Palace alone?!" Zhu Gaochi meant to let them take everyone away.

"Your Highness is fine in Beijing, but I'm afraid that the emperor will let you go back to Nanjing..." Xin Yan said slowly: "This is the arrangement of my junior brother, and we must follow it."

Xinci finally couldn't help but sighed and said: "Hey, I really didn't expect that the trip to Shandong would be so dangerous, otherwise I wouldn't let my brother go alone..."

"It's useless to talk too much," Xin Yan said in a deep voice, "You're just looking for a needle in a haystack, and you have to get Junior Brother back, otherwise don't come back!"
