With the palace door opened, a gray car for the herald official drove out of the palace, stopped in front of everyone, and a white-faced man in a black attendant uniform got out of the car, the white-faced man was about thirty years old, and the princes and civil and military officials present were very familiar with this person, who was the imperial herald of the first emperor Zhu Hongqi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing this person get out of the car, everyone in the square subconsciously quieted down and looked at this person.

Zhu Lixin, the king of Jin, was the most anxious, and took two steps forward and asked: "Shi Shiguan!" What exactly does Zhu Lixi mean? Did you send him a message? Well? ”

The fourth prince, Zhu Hongtu, stared at Shi Xinren with unkind eyes, and Shi Xinren was the name of this herald.

Fu Wang Zhu Litao raised his chin slightly, squinted at Shi Xinren, and did not speak.

The second prince, Zhu Hongyuan, folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, there was a thoughtful look in his eyes, and he did not speak.

The third prince, Zhu Hongke, had no intention of competing for the throne, so he remained silent at this time, looking down at his toes, but the corner of his eyes was paying attention to the servant who had just come out of the palace.

Shi Xinren tugged at the corners of his mouth, barely showed a smile, first hugged his fists and saluted several princes, and then hugged his fists and saluted the hundred officials, after straightening up, he turned on the micro microphone on his collar and raised his voice and said: "Princes!" Ladies and Gentlemen! King Lu invites you to enter the palace to discuss the country! Shi was ordered to convey King Lu's decree, please invite all the princes and ministers to enter the palace! ”

After speaking, he closed his mouth, stepped aside, and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to enter the palace.

Zhu Lixin, the most angry Jin king, was the first to stride towards the palace gate, and then the fourth prince Zhu Hongtu also took a big stride, followed by the second prince Zhu Hongyuan and the third prince Zhu Hongke.

The ministers were very tacitly waiting for the prince to leave first, and it stands to reason that the other princes have walked towards the palace gate, and it should be time to give King Zhu Litao a blessing.

But surprisingly, the Fu King Zhu Litao did not move, and when the third prince Zhu Hongke also walked towards the palace gate, the Fu King Zhu Litao's squinted eyes opened, revealing a signature kind smile, and turned back to those ministers and said, "Please first!" This king needs to go back to the house to get one thing, and come back later! ”

After speaking, he turned back to Shi Xinren who was standing next to the car and smiled and nodded, then turned around and left with a few guards and entourage without looking back.

Of the several princes who were already in front, only the third prince Zhu Hongke, who was walking at the back, noticed the departure of Zhu Litao, the king of Jin, Zhu Hongtu, the fourth prince, and Zhu Hongyuan, the second prince.

Some of the ministers at the scene were surprised, some were puzzled, and some thoughtfully glanced back at the back of King Fu leaving, with different expressions, but no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all walked to the palace gate with everyone at this time.

Shi Xinren, who was next to the car, looked at the back of King Fu leaving with complicated eyes, and was silent.

The third prince, Zhu Hongke, because he had just seen the departure of the blessed king Zhu Litao, his steps towards the palace gate subconsciously slowed down, and his eyes became deeper.

King Fu's departure made Zhu Hongke vigilant in his heart, King Fu Zhu Litao has always been scheming and wise, before King Fu was waiting outside the palace gate with them, at this time the palace door opened, but King Fu had no intention of entering the palace at all, what does this mean?

Could it be that King Lu summoned everyone into the palace at this time, and he was ready to attack these princes? Doing the bloody slaughter of the royal prince in the palace?

Realizing this, Zhu Hongke's steps became even slower, and he deliberately found an excuse to leave now, but after thinking about it, his steps slowly returned to his previous pace.

At this moment, he is helpless, he is not King Fu, King Fu has strong financial resources, in order to compete for the right to inherit the throne over the years, King Fu has prepared a force second only to Zhu Lixin, the king of Jin.

King Fu is leaving at this moment, he can protect himself for the time being, and if he is not good, he can quickly find a way out and retreat abroad.

But he Zhu Hongke can't!

Over the years, he has taken the initiative to stay away from the whirlpool of imperial power struggle, in order to show that he has no intention of competing for the throne, he never even uses his identity to accumulate wealth, and privately befriend ministers or military generals.

At this time, even if he wants to escape, he can't escape from the country, and he may not even escape from the capital, King Lu has one-third of the forbidden army in the capital, and there may be other armies, if King Lu doesn't want him to escape, he can't escape.

Because he knew his current situation, Zhu Hongke hesitated, and then resumed his pace and walked into the palace, at this moment he could not retreat, and if he retreated, he would die, on the contrary, he walked into the palace to show King Lu that he had no heart for the throne, and perhaps there was a glimmer of hope for life.

At this moment, Zhu Hongke thought of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and thought of the changes in the Xuanwumen of the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why Li Shimin was able to ascend the throne was because he was ruthless enough, he was able to strike first and kill his brother in Xuanwu Gate, and King Lu, who is now in the palace, is likely to do the same.

Zhu Hongke looked at Zhu Lixin, the king of Jin, the fourth brother Zhu Hongtu, and the second brother Zhu Hongyuan, who were walking in the forefront, and Zhu Hongke suddenly felt unbearable in his heart, and at the same time felt sad.

These are his blood relatives, the descendants of the Zhu family, and it is likely that he will be in a different place soon, and he realizes it, but he can't give a warning.

Because he wants to protect himself, if he wants to protect himself, he can't harm King Lu's affairs at this time, besides, it's too late to warn now, because Zhu Hongke saw that Zhu Lixin, the king of Jin, Zhu Hongtu, and the second brother Zhu Hongyuan had already entered the palace gate.

"Please enter the urn ......"

Zhu Hongke said these four words softly, he didn't know if King Lu would let him go, was it useful for him to take the initiative to stay away from the struggle for imperial power over the years? Will King Lu kill him too? He didn't even know that he felt that he was walking towards King Lu's knife, whether he lived or died, it all depended on King Lu's mind.

It was not until this moment that Zhu Hongke suddenly felt a sense of remorse in his heart, maybe his thoughts and decisions over the years were wrong, maybe he should have prepared some strength earlier, if he had some strength now, then, when he realized the situation in front of him, he didn't have to know that life and death were involuntarily, but he had to enter the palace hard.

He can also be like King Fu, who senses danger and leaves early.

It's just that it's too late to regret it now, and the matter has come to this point, he can only leave the fate of life and death to King Lu to decide.

……

"Quick! Hurry up! Go back to the house as quickly as possible, and tell the house to prepare for the plane to take off immediately, quickly! Fast! Don't delay a moment! ”

Fu Wang Zhu Litao sat in the back seat of the car, and was giving orders urgently with a stiff face, as Zhu Hongke expected, he did feel the danger.

He pushed people by himself, imagining what he would do if he was Zhu Lixi in the palace, and then he foresaw what would happen next.

In his heart, Zhu Litao has always thought that among the princes of them, in terms of scheming, only King Lu Zhu Lixi can compare with him, if it is he Zhu Litao who enters the palace first, he will be sure to win everyone, and finally ascend to the throne, but unfortunately, when the emperor died, he was not in the capital, King Lu occupied the first hand, and he would definitely lose when he entered the palace at this moment.

So he is already arranging to leave Beijing immediately. (To be continued.) )
