Chapter 45 Sealing the Kingdom of Hangzhou
"What? The emperor is critically ill?" Although everyone thought of the news that the emperor was critically ill more than once, when they heard this sentence coming out of other people's mouths, those so-called loyal ministers could not accept the news for a while.
"Well, that's right, His Royal Highness King Xin, the reason why Weichen came this time is because of the great trust of His Majesty the Emperor, looking for His Royal Highness King Xin, Your Highness, Your Majesty hopes that you can enter the palace as soon as possible. ”
"What is the situation in the palace now? What about the emperor? Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but grab Wang Feng's hands. Although the throne is undoubtedly a great temptation for him, many years of brotherly affection have made him care about this brother very much.
"Your Majesty... The emperor..."Although Wang Feng wanted to pretend to cry, he really didn't have any feelings for the apocalypse, and he couldn't cry no matter how he cried, so Wang Feng had to wipe two drops of saliva on his face, "The emperor probably can't do it, it's not going to work... When Weichen left the palace, Wei Zhongxian had already replaced all the guards in the palace, and the emperor, the emperor had been controlled by the eunuch party.
"What?" Wang Feng's words were like a pound-heavy bomb exploding in the crowd.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Everyone knelt down and cried when they heard Wang Feng's words.
"Crying... What to cry about... What are you crying about... Can crying bring the emperor back to cry? The most important thing now is to welcome His Royal Highness King Xinwang to inherit the unification, and with King Xin's presence, the sky of my Ming Dynasty will not fall. Wang Feng looked coldly at this group of ministers who could only cry, and shouted loudly.
"Yes... Right... Yes..."Lord Wang is right, it is useless to cry now, and the most important thing for us now is to welcome King Xin to inherit the throne. Among all the ministers, Sun Chuanting, as a border minister, reacted the fastest and immediately catered to Wang Feng.
"I respectfully ask King Xin to preside over the overall situation. Wang Feng took the lead and knelt down first.
"Respectfully, His Royal Highness, Respectfully Faithful. "At this time, no one is a fool, everyone can see that it is a major event to believe that the king inherits the unification, and when to show loyalty if he does not show loyalty. Everyone in the room knelt down like Wang Feng.
"It's... This king also wants to do something at this time, but Wei Zhongxian's power in the capital is too huge, and it is difficult for us royal guards to compete with it, unless there is an order from the emperor..."Zhu Youzhen said very regretfully.
"Lord Wang, do you think this can represent the emperor?" Wang Feng took out the token from his bag and asked.
"This is the emperor's personal token, with it, all problems have been solved!" Zhu Youzhen was so happy. He didn't think he would come whatever he wanted..."
"Lord, give orders, the emperor is still waiting for us! Lord..." Everyone urged Zhu Youzhen to issue an order.
"Okay, the officials listen to the order..."Zhu Youzhen, who got the token, did not shirk, and walked to the center to issue an order to the ministers below.
"Uncle Fuwang, please gather the guards of the royal palace in the capital and gather in the Xinwang Mansion to wait for orders. Zhu Youzhen said to his uncle very respectfully.
Looking back, Zhu Youzhen immediately changed his feelings, "Sun Chuanting"
"The minister is here..."
"This king ordered you to open the nine gates of the capital with a token to receive Ning Yuan's soldiers and horses into the city, and at the same time, you gathered the forces of the nine gates and cooperated with the royal guards to launch an attack on Dongchang. ”
"The rest of the people followed the king and led Ning Yuan's soldiers and horses to the palace to face the saint. ”
"Follow the king's orders. ”
After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he looked at Wang Feng who was kneeling on the side, originally according to Zhu Youzhen's idea, he was allowed to lead the army alone, but when he thought of Wang Chengen's words "This person must not be guarded", Zhu Youzhen interrupted his thoughts.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, the angel has arrived...", the porter outside the door suddenly shouted.
"Lord Wang... Wang Chengen, who was next to him, looked at Zhu Youzhen, who was still in a daze, and called in a low voice.
"Uh... What's wrong?" Zhu Youzhen, who had been in a daze, came back to his senses and didn't seem to hear the voice of the concierge at all.
"Lord Wang, there is an angel who has come to deliver the holy decree..."Wang Chengen reminded softly beside him.
"What does this Wei Zhongxian want to do? The emperor is critically ill, where did he get the holy decree. "Zhu Youzhen really doesn't understand what this Wei Zhongxian wants to do!
"Lord Wang, if Weichen's expectations are good, this holy decree is aimed at you, Lord Wang, and it should be a letter of urging Wei Zhongxian to drive you out of Beijing and become a vassal. Wang Feng looked at Zhu Youzhen very confidently.
Zhu Youzhen stared at this young man, not knowing where he got so much confidence.
"Avoid it, and the king will return when he receives a holy decree. Zhu Youzhen arranged everyone and took Wang Chengen out to greet him.
"His Royal Highness the King of Letters, the slave gave you a salute, a few days ago the slave was not sensible, you were unhappy, the slave apologized to you here, I hope you don't care about the villain, spare the slave this time. ”
As soon as Zhu Youzhen went out, a person who looked like a eunuch greeted him and asked for guilt. Zhu Youzhen took a closer look and recognized that this was Cao En, who he had whipped at the city gate a few days ago.
"Alright, alright, get up Cao En, what are you doing here?" Zhu Youzhen can't see anyone kneeling in front of him and shouting words like sparing his life, this kind of person Zhu Youzhen's way to deal with it is either to ignore you or to send you to heaven.
"Lord Wang, the slave is going to say hello to you!" Cao En leaned on Zhu Youzhen as he spoke. ”
"Congratulations to this king, what is there to congratulate this king?"
"Lord Wang, the slave came to announce the decree to the prince this time on the order of the emperor, and the emperor said, "King Xin is my only brother, don't let him be wronged!" Therefore, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to give Hangzhou to the prince to make you a vassal country, prince, Hangzhou is a good place... There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. This place in Hangzhou has never been given to other vassal kings, the last time King Lu came to ask for it, the emperor was reluctant to give it, this time he took the initiative to give it to the prince as a feudal country, can you not congratulate?"
"On the emperor's orders, it must have been on Wei Zhongxian's orders!" Although Zhu Youzhen knew what was going on in his heart, he just didn't demolish him, but Zhu Youzhen remembered another person in his heart, he was too terrible. actually guessed Wei Zhongxian's heart that it was leaky, and I don't know if he was a good thing or a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty... But Zhu Youzhen's heart planted the seed of guarding against Wang Feng from this.
"Really?" Zhu Youjian said with a hint of disbelief.
"The prince doesn't believe it, he can read the edict by himself. Cao En took the edict and sent it to Zhu You's inspector.
"It's not a big deal, it's not read..."
"Well, the prince read out that set to deal with hundreds of officials, who are you, the emperor's own brother, the emperor's dearest person! After speaking, he stuffed the holy decree into Zhu Youzhen's hand.
"Then the king is not welcome. Zhu Youzhen took Cao En's holy decree, and as soon as he opened it, sure enough, a few big characters in Hangzhou came into view...
"No... No..."This king is reluctant... I can't bear to be the royal brother.
