Chapter 336: Premeditated Murder of the Emperor

Hearing Chen He's question, King Lu glanced at him, and then said angrily: "Is there anything to ask about this kind of thing?" Your Majesty didn't tell the king, so the king didn't inquire. If this makes His Majesty suspicious of the king, what should the king do? ”

Listening to King Lu's words, Chen He was very helpless. After all, I can't count on this prince.

After thinking about it, Chen He asked tentatively quietly, "Then apart from the rebellion, didn't Your Majesty say anything else?" ”

"Isn't the rebellion scary?" King Lu instantly glared and said, "Anyway, don't talk nonsense, this king won't leave here, just stay here." Now it seems that this place is the safest, even if there is a rebellion, this king will be fine. ”

"Hey, do you think this king can discuss with His Majesty and take over the king's forty-eight wives and concubines? If someone really rebelled, it would be safer here. ”

King Lu smacked and said: "Who knows if those thieves will target the king's house, when they break through the king's house, the king will suffer a big loss." The loss of some property is nothing, but if it hurts the king's forty-eight wives and concubines, it will be a big loss. ”

Seeing King Lu talking to himself, Chen He was very helpless.

Is Your Majesty protecting you?

This is how His Majesty is putting you under house arrest. I just don't understand anything!

But that's how this prince is, he has been a waste since he was a child.

These were not what Chen He wanted to hear, he patiently continued to ask, "Lord Wang, is there nothing else to say?" ”

"By the way, there is a saying." King Lu seemed to remember at this time, he turned his head to look at Chen He and said, "Your Majesty has told this king another thing, that is, let this king give a little money and food. One is to give relief to the people, and the other is to be used by the army to quell the rebellion. ”

"Look at how much food and money our family still has, and take half of it out." After thinking about it, King Lu gritted his teeth, made a big decision, and said directly: "Write a question book and report it to Your Majesty tomorrow." ”

Hearing King Lu say this, Chen He chuckled in his heart, glared and said, "Take out half of it?" ”

"What's wrong with Half?" King Lu glanced at Chen He's Scrooge's appearance, and said angrily: "The most important thing is to save your life, money is something outside your body, what's wrong with spending some money on Your Majesty?" You didn't look at the thing Your Majesty ate today, and it hurts to see it. ”

"Speaking of which, let someone prepare something good and send it to His Majesty tomorrow. What delicacies from the mountains and seas, what old ginseng, prepare a little more. That's our Majesty of the Ming Dynasty, how can you eat those things? Those people down there can't do errands, they're all stupid! ”

"By the way, Your Majesty also rewarded the king with a pair of words, you take it out and hang it."

Chen He was very helpless, obviously His Majesty and King Lu said a lot of things, but King Lu didn't understand it at all, and he didn't care about many things, so he remembered two things.

One is that there are people in Shandong who want to rebel, he is very afraid, it is safe to hide here, and His Majesty will protect him.

The other is that His Majesty asked him to contribute money and food, and he is going to take out half of it and send it to His Majesty.

These two things are very important, but this is not the most critical place.

"Don't worry, the slave and maid will arrange it immediately." Chen He hurriedly said.

Hearing Chen He's words, King Lu nodded with satisfaction.

Then he seemed to think of other things, and King Lu asked, "Why does our palace still have business with the Yamen?" Today, His Majesty asked the king about the food and salary for disaster relief, and the king was confused. ”

"Haven't you been in charge of the business in the palace all the time? Why did you make such a big mistake? Today, the king covered up the past for you, and when you go back, you will cut off all these things. If His Majesty is allowed to pursue it, what will be the good end? ”

King Lu's tone was very serious, he was really scared.

For King Lu, it is best to live a peaceful life, don't do anything, and let yourself and the forty-eight wives and concubines live in peace and stability.

After hearing King Lu's words, Chen He's body trembled violently. He finally heard what he wanted to hear.

Your Majesty has indeed paid attention to this matter. As for what King Lu said to cover up for himself, Chen He didn't believe it at all.

What level King Lu is, Chen He's heart couldn't be clearer. If you don't cover it up for yourself, maybe it's better; Now it's bad to cover yourself up like this.

Thinking of this, Chen He couldn't help but get nervous, who knew how this time things turned out like this?

After thinking about it, Chen He said: "Lord Wang, we have a lot of grain and fields, and the slaves and maids don't know how to sort it out for a while, so why don't you call Changshi to ask?" ”

Hearing Chen He's words, King Lu said angrily: "It's good for you to discuss this kind of thing yourself." ”

Standing up and moving his muscles, King Lu said impatiently: "This king is a little tired, he is tired from the journey this way, and he is scared enough by His Majesty, I want to go to sleep now." ”

"By the way, let one of the maids you brought come in and sleep with this king at night."

Hearing King Lu's words, Chen He breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, the matter has finally come to an end. As long as King Lu leaves things to himself, the rest will be easy to handle.

"Don't worry, the prince will send it over immediately." Chen He hurriedly said.

After King Lu left, Chen He didn't dare to slack off, turned around and walked to the other side.

On this side, there was a relatively secluded room, and there were already people waiting for him at this time.

This is a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in the official uniform of a civil official, with a thin figure and a resolute face, and at first glance he looks like a fair and strict official. This person is none other than Zhou Yi, the long history of King Lu's Mansion.

Seeing Chen He walking in from outside, Zhou Yi hurriedly greeted him and asked a little eagerly, "How is the situation?" ”

"Not good." Chen He said with some concern: "Your Majesty really asked about the disaster relief food. ”

"What did King Naru say?" Zhou Yi hurriedly asked.

"King Lu said that he covered it up for us in front of His Majesty." Chen He said in an unkind tone: "I don't know what I said, I want to continue to ask, but the prince said that he was sleepy and went to sleep." ”

"Something's going to happen." Zhou Yi sighed, then sat down in the chair and said.

"Did Your Majesty say anything else?" Raising his head to look at Chen He, Zhou Yi asked.

"Asked." Chen He sat down a little helplessly, and then relayed what King Lu said to himself. Changsha

After speaking, Chen He looked at Zhou Yi with some hesitation and said, "Do you think Your Majesty has already guessed it?" ”

"I guessed it." Zhou Yi said with a dark face: "Your Majesty today is very wise, and there are many people around him. Originally, His Majesty called King Lu over, obviously this was to ask King Lu about his sin, didn't we discuss it before? ”

"This time, when His Majesty arrived in Shandong, he directly took down Zhang Shun in Jining, and to put it bluntly, His Majesty was eyeing the matter of disaster relief grain. His Majesty called King Lu here, most likely because of this incident. ”

"But Your Majesty called King Lu over and asked about it, but he didn't say anything more, just asked King Lu to pay for it, why do you think this is?"

"Because Your Majesty knows that King Lu can't do such a thing?" Chen He said hesitantly.

Sighing helplessly, Zhou Yi said a little depressedly: "As far as King Lu is like, as long as someone with a slightly normal mind can see that he is not that material." Since he's not the material, who made it? How long do you think we'll be able to keep things a secret? ”

"Your Majesty may need to have scruples about dealing with King Lu, but you don't need to scruple about dealing with the two of us. When that time comes, we will probably die without a place to bury. ”

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Chen He's face was also as black as the bottom of a pot. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Yi, and said helplessly: "Now that the matter is over, what do you say?" You can't rebel, can you? If we really want to rebel, what can we do here? ”

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yi said, "Your Majesty said that someone wants to rebel, do you know who it is?" ”

Chen He shook his head and said helplessly, "How can I know who it is?" It's been so long, and I can't touch this matter, and King Lu didn't ask His Majesty at all, and he won't care. ”

"I can guess some." Zhou Yi thought for a while and said.

"Who?" Chen He hesitated and said, "You don't have anything to do with them, do you?" ”

"Smell the people of the incense sect." Zhou Yi glanced at Chen He and said.

"You're talking about them?" Chen He said hesitantly: "Do you have any evidence?" ”

"Is there any tangible evidence for such a thing? But if you look at what those people do, they're like the White Lotus Sect. How much trouble the White Lotus Sect made in Shandong back then, you must have heard of it. Now these people are preaching everywhere, what do you think they are for? ”

"Even if they want to rebel, what does it have to do with us? You don't think they can do it, do you? Chen He said with mockery in his tone: "Now that Your Majesty is in Shandong, they rebel, and there is only one way to die." ”

"We're dead." Zhou Yi said angrily.

"You're right, their rebellion is a dead end. But Your Majesty is in Shandong, and we are in Jining City now, if Your Majesty dies here, what do you think will happen? ”

"Your Majesty is still young, and he has no heirs. If Your Majesty dies in the hands of the thieves, the whole world will be in chaos, and then we can support King Lu, and we will be the heroes of the founding of the country! At that time, what are we that King Eruk trusts us? ”

Listening to Zhou Yi's words and looking at his excited look, Chen He also became excited.

That kind of scene is so exciting, if you can really do that, you will definitely be in power!

Chen He turned his head to look at Zhou Yi and said, "Are you sure?" ”

"How can you be sure of this kind of thing, it's just a fight." Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said: "I will immediately go find someone to contact them, let them come here, lead them into the city, kill Your Majesty directly in the city, and then we will lead people to quell the rebellion." ”

"We don't have anyone on our hands, so if we don't do it, we'll set ourselves on fire." Chen He said helplessly.

"Are you stupid or am I stupid? As long as His Majesty is dead, there will be chaos here. At that time, as long as we escort King Lu to escape, the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all over the country will come. ”

"When the time comes, all the people we do business with will support us. They also know how much credit they have to support it, and that is the hero of the founding of the country! When the time comes, we will twist into a rope and not worry about not being able to do big things. ”

"Can you get in touch with them?" Chen He said excitedly.

The future is bright, and my big era is finally coming!

"Yes." Zhou Yi nodded and said: "I have done business with them before and sold them grain, which is why I think they want to rebel, they are hoarding grain." ”

"As long as we find them and offer cooperation, they will definitely agree. I'll send competent people, and as long as I can get in touch with them, the rest will be taken care of. Zhou Yi said in a firm tone.

When Chen He and Zhou Yi were conspiring, Zhu Youxiao was listening to Chen Hong's report.

"Emperor, the news from King Lu's Mansion has been inquired back. This time, among the people who followed King Lu, there were people from our Jinyi Guard. They have already given the exact news. Chen Hong said without changing his face.

"Let's talk about it." Zhu Youxiao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said casually.

"According to their report, King Lu likes the wind and snow on weekdays, likes to recite poems, and basically doesn't ask about the things up and down the palace."

"As for the princess, she doesn't care about this, she eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long. King Lu likes beauty, since he inherited the throne of King Lu, he has to take several concubines every day, and the princess can't manage it, so she just doesn't care. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao remembered the time when he was so "happy" that he couldn't move his legs when he was newly married, and he felt a tingling scalp, and he was very helpless, and he really didn't know what to say.

There are also hundreds of children in this prince, like King Lu, who is about to play himself to the end, and the royal family of the Ming Dynasty is really wonderful.

Zhu Youxiao really has nothing to say.

"Go on, why don't you say it?" Zhu Youxiao raised his head to look at Chen Hong, saw him stop, and asked with some confusion.

"Yes, Emperor." After Chen Hong agreed, he continued: "According to the reports of the people below, most of the things in the palace are decided by Chen He, the chief manager of the palace. As for the outside affairs, it is up to Zhou Yi, the chief of the palace, to decide. ”

The long history of the palace, in charge of the decrees of the palace, supplemented by sarcasm, and in charge of the affairs of the palace. All requests for names, invitations, marriages, favors and thanks, and dedication forms are all played by the chief of the royal palace, and if the vassal king is at fault, he will ask the long history.

This is a very special group of bureaucrats, and if there is no one to succeed them, they may die of old age in this official position for the rest of their lives. If you can't go up, the future will naturally be bright.

If you can't be promoted, then get rich. Because they were sent by the imperial court to supervise the vassal kings, they had a lot of power, and they used the power in their hands to do their own things in the name of the prince's mansion.

I don't have to think about the rest anymore, I can probably guess it. Basically, he also has his business of annexing the fields, and a large part of it goes into his pocket, and it will also be distributed to King Lu, after all, it is under the banner of King Lu.

As far as King Lu is concerned, it is estimated that he doesn't know about the disaster relief food and salary case this time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao raised his head and looked at Chen Hong, and asked with great interest: "Did Chen He and King Lu Changshi Zhou Yi all come with them?" ”
