Baohe Hall.
This is the palace where the emperor handles government affairs and also the place where he receives important ministers.
When Zhu Wusi followed Cao Zhengchun to this palace.
He saw Zhu Houzhao whispering something to Xu Yanbing.
This also made Zhu Wusi's heart slightly tense.
But on the surface he still maintained the attitude of the emperor's uncle: "Is there anything your majesty doesn't understand?"
This was a bit condescending, but it was also the way Zhu Wusi and Zhu Houzhao communicated in the past.
Although the emperor's uncle is a minister.
But he is also Zhu Houzhao's elder.
What's more, Zhu Wusi is the Iron-hearted God Marquis, in charge of the Dragon Guard Villa, and has the responsibility of a minister of life.
Naturally, he can ask in this tone.
And this is also a test of Zhu Wusi, he is testing Zhu Houzhao's reaction.
....
Zhu Houzhao slowly turned around, his eyes were extremely calm and he looked at Zhu Wusi: "Uncle, you disappoint me."
Instant.
Zhu Wusi was shocked, and the suppressed anxiety in his heart was instantly revealed.
Zhu Houzhao's attitude and tone at this time had undoubtedly told Zhu Wusi that he had lost the bet!
But Zhu Wusi still wanted to struggle, and he said in a slightly stiff tone: "What does your majesty mean?"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing: "The emperor's uncle is valued by my father, and he founded the Hulong Villa. He also has the two treasures of Danshu Tiequan and Shangfang Baojian. He can kill the tyrants and greedy ministers, and can also train countless secret agents in the palace!!"
"Such power is above all the ministers, and even the Prime Minister Yang Heting can't compare with it!"
"But..."
He restrained his smile and said word by word: "Why is the emperor's uncle so timid!"
Timid? !
Zhu Wusi was stunned.
Zhu Houzhao ignored Tiedan Shenhou's reaction and said calmly: "Since you are unwilling to let your father pass the throne to me, you should have decisively launched a palace coup and rebelled before your father died! Instead of being so indecisive!"
"Since you want to get Gu Santong's fiancée Suxin, you should have killed Gu Santong!"
"Instead of framing him and imprisoning him in the dungeon for more than ten years."
"Since you can ruthlessly kill 108 masters from the eight major sects in the martial arts world and absorb their skills, why are you afraid of a mere Cao Zhengchun?"
"Since you knew my background yesterday, why do you dare to come to court today?!"
"With such a temperament of the emperor's uncle, is he worthy of being the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?!"
Although Zhu Houzhao's words were calm.
But every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Zhu Wushi's heart.
His face turned even paler: "Since you already know everything, why are you saying this?"
"Because you are still useful!"
Zhu Houzhao said frankly, looking at Zhu Wusi with extremely cold eyes: "If it weren't for the secret agents trained for decades, if it weren't for the fact that you built Hulong Villa."
"Do you really think you can still stand and talk to me intact?"
If it were common sense, Zhu Houzhao would not have to say it so openly if he wanted to use Zhu Wusi.
But with each sign-in, Zhu Houzhao's background became more and more sufficient.
He had long disdained such a slow way of doing things.
If Zhu Wusi can be used, then use him. If he can't be used, then kill him!
....
Zhu Houzhao's cold tone and extremely cold eyes.
It made Cao Zhengchun on the side feel cold all over. He couldn't imagine that this was what His Majesty could say.
It was even more difficult to accept that this was the His Majesty he knew before.
This is not the former crown prince, but a real emperor.
A cold and ruthless emperor!
Zhu Wusi also felt cold all over. He stared at Zhu Houzhao in front of him seriously: "Are you really my nephew?"
Zhu Houzhao did not reply, but looked at Zhu Wusi calmly.
This attitude made Zhu Wusi's heart even colder. He couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough! This Marquis is indeed not suitable to be the emperor, because this Marquis can't be as cold and ruthless as you, nor can he be as rational as you!"
"Knowing that this Marquis wants to rebel, he even knows the information that I framed Gu Santong."
"But because of the Hulong Villa and the secret spies accumulated over decades, he wants to use them for his own use!"
"Perhaps only with this kind of temperament can you sit in that position and be qualified to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
"No!" Zhu Houzhao shook his head and sneered: "The reason why I dare to do this is not because of coldness and ruthlessness, nor because of rationality, but because I have full confidence and certainty."
"You are reluctant to die, and you dare not die!"
"Faced with the choice I gave you, you can only kneel down and be my loyal dog!"
"And you don't have the courage to die."
When Zhu Wusi heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Xu Yanbing, and then Su Xin also appeared in his mind..
He now completely understood Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.
Indeed.
He dared not die!
He could not die!
If he died, what would happen to Su Xin? !
Although Zhu Wusi called himself a hero and thought he could endure, his loyalty was his biggest shortcoming.
The emperor was ruthless!
The hero was ruthless!
Since he was determined to rebel.
How could Zhu Wusi dare to be loyal to Su Xin and even give up everything for the beauty?
"What does your majesty want me to do?"
Zhu Wusi's emotions gradually calmed down, when things had not yet faced.
He might still have a chance to make other choices.
But when Zhu Houzhao really said this.
Zhu Wusi had no choice but to surrender!
"Do you know about the lack of silver that Prime Minister Yang Heting said today?" Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "Take 10,000 imperial guards and go south to Japan. Within half a year, I want you to bring back 10 million taels of silver."
"Don't take 13,000 away!"
"Everything in Hulong Villa will be handed over to Shangguan Haitang."
13,000.
Go south to Japan!
After hearing this order, Zhu Wusi looked at Zhu Houzhao with horror. He knew that everything about him was no longer a secret in front of this young king, and going south to Japan would be even easier.
This is both a test and an imperial measure.
If Zhu Wusi, the powerful uncle of the emperor, went south to Japan on the fourth day of His Majesty's accession to the throne, how many people in the court would dare to disobey His Majesty's orders? !
Shangguan Haitang's arrangement was even more wonderful. She was the most loyal person.
As long as Zhu Wusi gives the order, Shangguan Haitang will do his best to assist His Majesty.
And Wan Sanqian has always liked Haitang. If Haitang is used as bait, Wan Sanqian can be controlled!
Good means!
Good political tactics!
Zhu Wusi was truly convinced at this time: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will prepare to go south today!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly: "When you come back, I will tell you the whereabouts of the second Tianxiang cardamom!"
He is not really a cold-blooded person.
And since you want Zhu Wusi to do something, you must give him some sweet dates.
This also made Zhu Wusi ecstatic in an instant: "Your Majesty knows the whereabouts of Tianxiang cardamom?!"
What is needed to revive Suxin is three Tianxiang cardamoms.
Zhu Wusi had already let Suxin swallow one, but the remaining two have not been found yet.
"Go and do it." Zhu Houzhao waved calmly.
"Yes!" Zhu Wusi suppressed his excitement, saluted solemnly to His Majesty and then slowly left.
Cao Zhengchun looked at Zhu Wusi's leaving figure, and was extremely horrified.
Your Majesty's method today is indeed more terrifying than that of Xu Yanbing.
Killing people and destroying their hearts!
Zhu Wusi has obviously lost everything but still serves His Majesty wholeheartedly.
From now on, I am afraid there will be no more iron-hearted god marquis, only His Majesty's loyal dog!!!
