high official

Chapter 993 Confused
Beijing, Xiyuan, Qinzheng Hall.

Zhu Di sat cross-legged on the kang, looking at the tearful King Zhao with a livid face.

"That child Zhantan was raised by Erchen since he was a child. He has always been well-behaved and sensible, and he has the legacy of his mother." Zhao Wang wiped his tears and choked up: "This time, in order to protect the people of the domain, he was killed by the Bailian thief. Father, you must mourn!"

'Bang', Zhu Di slapped the kang heavily, and said angrily with a dark face: "The Bailian thief is so mad that he dares to kill my beloved grandson! I want them to die without a place to bury them!"

When the emperor got angry, Taisun and others hurriedly knelt down.

After a while, Zhu Di asked in a low voice: "How is the second child?"

"Returning to my father, my second elder brother is distraught. He wrote a letter of blood to ask for a fight. He wished he could get on his horse and raise his gun immediately, and break through Qingzhou," King Zhao said, looking at a few university scholars with a strange expression: "Several, don't you Are you going to present the King of Han's memorial to the emperor?"

"Oh, back to King Zhao." Yang Shiqi replied unhurriedly: "The memorial of the King of Han arrived in the cabinet yesterday, but the emperor heard the bad news yesterday, and was inexplicably sad. body……"

As soon as winter entered, Zhu Di's body became uncomfortable again, and he had been lying on the kang for a while. Hearing this, he said with a half-smile: "Thank you for your understanding, I am in good health, and I don't need you to replace me for the time being." call the shots."

"The ministers are guilty, please the emperor severely punish..." Yang Shiqi took out the memorial of the King of Han from his sleeve and held it high above his head.

"Hmph!" Zhu Di didn't pursue further. There are more than tens of millions of memorials submitted every day. Zhu Di is getting old and his energy is seriously low, so he has already made a statement. Unless it is urgent military affairs, otherwise the memorials will be dismantled and read by the cabinet first, and then press Prioritize delivery as appropriate.So it is not a big problem for the cabinet to do so, at least on the surface.As for what ideas they have in their hearts, Zhu Di can only beat and beat, and he will not be dismissed and replaced at every turn like in previous years.

After all, it is getting harder and harder to find courtiers like Er Yang and Yi Jin who are as diligent and capable as they are deeply caring...

.

Zhu Di took the memorial of the King of Han and opened it. It was really shocking. It was all written in blood, and it was still soaked with tears. Full of grief and anger came out of the paper, and the emperor couldn't help but feel sad when he saw it.How to say, losing a child in middle age is also a painful thing. Even if there are some resentful words and coveting feelings between the lines, Zhu Di will not pursue it.

A needle could be heard in the Hall of Qinzheng, and everyone quietly waited for the emperor to read the memorial.

"Hey..." Zhu Di closed the memorial slowly, and sighed, "The second brother is blaming me for why he delayed his appointment so long that this tragedy happened."

"Father's words are wrong." Zhao Wang immediately answered: "At the beginning, Father had already drawn up a decree to appoint the second brother as the governor of Shandong! It was the eldest brother who tried his best to obstruct it, so it dragged on for a month..."

In this situation, Zhao Wang pointed the finger at the prince, and Zhu Zhanji and others were speechless...

"Hmph!" Zhu Di really turned dark, and looked at Zhao Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and said, "It's been half a month now, how has the battle situation in Shandong changed?"

Zhao Yan is a member of King Zhao's line. Hearing this, he hurriedly raised his head and reported back: "Your Majesty, for half a month, the White Lotus Sect army has been attacking King Han's territory. Because there is no will, King Han can only passively defend, barely taking care of it." The people inside the city, as for the people outside the city, can only watch them being brutally poisoned by the White Lotus Sect."

"If it wasn't for protecting the people outside the city, Zhan Tan wouldn't have been killed!" King Zhao blatantly said that no one could refute him.

"Hmph!" Zhu Di snorted again, and gradually became angry and said, "What about Liu Sheng? What has he been doing for the past half month?"

"Marquis Anyuan..." Zhao Yan hesitated for a moment, then replied softly, "Stand still!"

With a loud 'pop', Zhu Di shattered several teacups with his palm, and finally burst into flames: "Could it be that the two of them wear a pair of trousers, and even the White Lotus Sect is the wolf raised by His Highness to bite opponents?" dog?!"

Although Zhu Di didn't call names directly, everyone present could easily check their seats.There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of Zhao Wang's mouth.

"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Zhanji finally couldn't keep silent, and said bravely: "Bai Lian teaches people and gods to share their anger. My father has hated him for a long time. How could he have the slightest connection with them?!"

"Then why did they leave Liu Sheng alone and beat your second uncle specifically?!" Now that Zhu Zhanji made it clear, Zhu Di also said clearly: "Can you explain the truth to me?!"

"This..." Although Zhu Zhanji was clear in his heart, there were some things he couldn't say, so he could only lower his head and say, "The Bailian demon behaves strangely, and he always does what he wants, and there is no reason for it."

"Taisun's words are not enough to coax the children." Zhu Gaosui sneered and said, "Since the White Lotus Sect started the incident, how meticulous has it been step by step? Why did it act as it pleases at the critical moment?!"

"Okay!" Seeing that his children and grandchildren were about to bite again, Zhu Di couldn't help feeling annoyed, and waved his hand decisively: "Pass the decree to Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, and order him to lead the army to support the King of Han immediately! If there is any delay, bring your own head to see me! "

"Grandfather, what about the January appointment?" Zhu Zhanji asked bravely.

"I just promised the crown prince that within a month, I would not appoint the king of Han as the governor of Shandong, but I didn't promise him that I would die." Zhu Di said coldly, "So, the one-month agreement is still valid."

"This..." Zhu Zhanji was a little dumbfounded at the moment. When it comes to playing rogue, the current emperor is at the level of the patriarch.

"Father is wise!" Zhu Gaosui was overjoyed, and said while the iron was hot: "Father, please make another decree to allow the King of Han to attack the White Lotus Sect and avenge my nephew!"

"Don't push yourself too hard..." Zhu Di glanced coldly at Zhao Wang, and immediately saw through his internal organs, "Could it be that the second child is still idle without my will?!"

"This..." Zhu Gaosui suddenly saw Zhao Ying, the eunuch of Dongchang who had disappeared for many days, quietly standing in the corner of the hall.The dense white smoke in the incense burner almost completely blocked the old eunuch's figure, and no one would notice his existence unless he looked carefully.

Zhu Gaosui immediately understood that his father had already understood the King of Han's actions, so he didn't dare to say another word, and obediently bowed his head and said, "I know."

"Stand back!" Zhu Di waved his hand irritably, driving everyone out of the hall.

When walking out of the palace gate, Zhu Gaosui's relaxed expression was in stark contrast to His Highness Taisun's gloomy expression.

.

After everyone retreated, Zhao Ying quietly came to the emperor's side and bowed to salute.

Zhu Di supported the kang and wanted to get up, but his joints were so sore that his arms, which he used to fight lions and tigers on weekdays, were unable to support his body!
Zhao Ying hurried forward, stretched out his hands, and gently supported the emperor's elbow.

Only then did Zhu Di stand up slowly, and said with a gloomy expression: "My old bones are sick like this, and those gangsters are so busy biting each other, none of them notice it! I keep saying Long live Your Majesty, but actually I wish I could die quickly!"

The more Zhu Di talked, the more angry he became, and he coughed violently, Zhao Ying hurriedly stretched out his hand to stroke the emperor's back, and softly persuaded the emperor: "The emperor calms down, the dragon's body is important."

"Don't worry, I won't die for a while." Zhu Di's face was ashamed, but he still said bravely: "Next year I will patrol the border!"

"Yes, your majesty should have better health and well-being, so that in the spring of next year, the dragon will be as strong as the tiger!" Zhao Ying replied softly.

"How about the matter I asked you to investigate?" Zhu Di calmed down, and then asked Zhao Ying.Zhu Di's understanding of Shandong is much deeper than the ministers thought.He had known that the King of Han and the White Lotus Sect had always had an affair, and he could understand why the King of Han supported the White Lotus Sect.If he didn't understand this point, even if the prince gambled his life, it would be impossible for the emperor to take it back!
So Zhu Di was very puzzled by the current situation in Shandong. Why was King Han beaten to death by the White Lotus Sect?Could it be that bitter tricks won't work?But no matter how bitter the tricks are, he can't catch up with his own son... Zhu Di looked around and felt that someone was playing tricks inside. If this person was the prince, it would be terrible. Zhu Di would definitely try to shake the country. Immediately depose him from confinement!
"Your Majesty, this old slave has just received an astonishing piece of news..." Zhao Ying helped Zhu Di pace the hall, and said slowly, "It's about Wang Xian's whereabouts."

"Wang Xian!" A flash of lightning flashed across Zhu Di's mind, thinking how he had forgotten him!If this guy did it, then everything can be explained!
"Yes, it is said that he has changed his face and become a military advisor of the White Lotus Sect. His name is Hei Jian, and he is deeply trusted by Tang Tiande. He made up the strategy of attacking the King of Han first and then Liu Sheng." Zhao Ying said slowly.

"This..." Although it was not very different from the guess, Zhu Di still couldn't believe it: "It's too unbelievable. Where did this news come from?"

"Where is the King of Han?" Zhao Ying said softly: "Because it has not been confirmed, the old slave did not report it immediately..."

"Whether Wang Xian is Hei Jian or not, he must be playing tricks here!" Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and he said firmly: "It seems that he wants to help his master and get rid of the King of Han in Shandong!" The emperor said sourly: "It's really a blessing from the previous life to have such a courtier on the stall..."

Zhao Ying also wanted to say that having a subject like me is also a blessing from the emperor.Of course, I can only think about this in my heart, and I dare not say it out loud.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"Since the two sides have put on a good posture and want to have a good fight in Shandong, can I stop it?" Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Let them fight, I will watch the show first."

"Are we doing nothing?" Zhao Ying asked softly.

"I'm watching a play, you have something to do." Zhu Di said in a low voice, "Go to Shandong..."

The emperor's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost a whisper. Only Zhao Ying heard the emperor's words, nodded, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this old slave knows what to do."
