Zhu Hao repeated this sentence repeatedly in his heart, standing in place for a long time, which frightened Wei Xiaobao on the side, thinking that Zhu Hao was unable to accept the news for a while, resulting in a loss of consciousness, so he cried and comforted: "Your Highness, Emperor Daxing has gone, you must take care of your health!" The slave knows that you feel uncomfortable, and the slave begs you to cry a few times, don't hold it in your heart, if you go on like this, if you hurt your body, the emperor of Daxing will not leave with peace of mind! Your Highness! ”

Wei Xiaobao's words seemed to stimulate Zhu Hao, and Zhu Hao looked up to the sky and roared in pain: "No! Thief, you took your father's life, and I must make you pay the price! In this life, the prince must change his life against the sky! As he spoke, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and suddenly fell to the ground, Zhu Hao grabbed his hair in pain, and cried: "Father! Children are not filial! Your sick child is not there for you! You're gone now, where are you going to be a child? Woo~Ah! Woo~"

In the sky, there were two huge roars in a row, and then a "click" was heard, and a pear tree outside Zhu Hao's bedroom was split into two knots by a shock, which seemed to be the heavens responding to Zhu Hao's words just now.

This sudden event did not interrupt Zhu Hao's sorrow in the room. Kneeling on the ground, Wei Xiaobao saw his master's extremely sad appearance, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, he didn't know how to persuade Zhu Hao, so he could only accompany Zhu Hao to cry loudly, just when the master and servant were in the room, crying loudly, there were three bells in the palace in a row, and then a sad voice came from the direction of the Qianqing Palace, and shouted: "Emperor Daxing, the dragon emperor is back to heaven!" The palaces mourn! After this voice, the entire palace, and even the entire Forbidden City, fell into a cry of pain in an instant!

With the entire Forbidden City, there was a howl and crying, but Zhu Hao came to his senses, he wiped away his tears, looked at Wei Xiaobao, who was still kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, and shouted: "Xiaobao! Now is not the time to be sad, with the father gone, the situation of this prince is in jeopardy! This prince must protect himself before he is qualified to grieve! ”

Wei Xiaobao heard what his master said, so he hurriedly wiped away his tears, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, what can the slave do for Your Highness?" Your Highness, please! ”

When Zhu Hao just said that to Wei Xiaobao, he actually had a countermeasure in his heart, and when he heard Wei Xiaobao ask, he immediately opened his mouth and said: "Xiaobao, the palace is in chaos right now, Xie Gang will definitely be left unattended in the Praetorian Guard, you take Hua Rong and Shi Qian, and bring Xie Gang from the Praetorian Guard to see me!" Go now, be sure to hurry! ”

When Wei Xiaobao heard this, he immediately kowtowed to Zhu Hao, and said respectfully: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the slave is desperate, and he will bring Commander Xie over to His Highness!" ”

In Zhu Hao's nodding, Wei Xiaobao walked out of Zhu Hao's dormitory, Zhu Hao did not wait in the dormitory this time, but went out of his room, went to the main hall, and went to Concubine Liu's dormitory.

As soon as he entered Concubine Liu's bedroom, the room was full of wailing, Zhu Hao frowned, ignored these, and directly entered his mother's room, as soon as he entered the room, he saw his mother's eyes red, staring blankly ahead, and the tears in his eyes slowly slipped down.

Zhu Hao's sudden intrusion made Concubine Liu's dull eyes seem to be clearer, Concubine Liu looked at Zhu Hao, the grief in her heart could no longer be bearable, and at the same time she no longer cared about her own image, and shouted: "...... by the inspection" and lay on the bed crying silently, crying bitterly.

Seeing his mother like this, Zhu Hao felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't know how to comfort his mother, but now that their mother and son had reached the moment of life and death, he had to speak: "Mother, my father has gone, don't be sad!" Right now......"

Before Zhu Hao's words were finished, Concubine Liu, who was still crying on the bed just now, sat up suddenly, pointed at Zhu Hao's nose, interrupted Zhu Hao's words and scolded: "You rebel!" Your father loves you the most on weekdays, he has just returned to the sky, and you actually said that you should not be sad for your mother! Is your conscience all for dogs to eat? How can you say such a rebellious thing? I don't have a rebel like you! Get out of here! I don't want to see you again! After finishing speaking, Concubine Liu fell on the bed again and cried bitterly, and the crying was still more than just now.

Zhu Hao had never seen that his mother was so angry with him, and he felt very uncomfortable. However, Zhu Hao knew that his mother was too sad, so he misunderstood the meaning of what he just said, and he was not dissatisfied. Zhu Hao knew that the time was urgent, and he didn't have time to explain anything, so he could only make a long story short: "Mother, you misunderstood the meaning of the child, you have lived in this palace for so long, you should know that when the father and the emperor are gone, the queen will not let go of our mother and son!" After the child asks the mother, close the palace door now, no matter who comes or hears something, don't open the door, wait for the child's notice, don't ask the child what to do, the child himself has a measure! Let the children take care of all this! After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he turned around and left his mother's bedroom.

Concubine Liu looked at Zhu Hao's departing figure, and muttered, "You ...... Are you going to replace your father and protect your mother? My inspector has grown up...... He has the demeanor of his father......"

Unconsciously, Concubine Liu remembered his acquaintance with Zhu Changluo, knowing each other, falling in love, and then falling in love with each other, until today's gloomy death, she couldn't help but feel sad again, tears flowed endlessly, although Concubine Liu could not suppress the sadness in her heart, but she still obeyed Zhu Hao's words and closed the door of the dormitory.

Just after Concubine Liu closed the door, a eunuch knocked on the palace door with a holy decree, no matter how the eunuch knocked on the palace door and shouted, Concubine Liu pretended not to know, and finally the eunuch left helplessly.

Zhu Hao walked out of his mother's dormitory and returned to his room, in the room, there were Wei Xiaobao, Hua Rong and Shi Qian, who had already returned, as well as Xie Gang, the former commander of the Praetorian Guard brought back by the three of them. ”

Zhu Hao looked at the four of them, nodded and said, "It's an extraordinary time, there's no need to be polite!" Get up! Saying that, he looked at Xie Gang and asked: "Xie Gang, your case is not that this prince does not help you, but that someone wants to put you to death and snatch the command of the Praetorian Guard. The current father has just returned to the sky, and this prince has a way to get you off the hook, and he can also return to the Praetorian Guard, and he can also be a hero of the new monarch's support, I don't know if you want to? ”

When Xie Gang heard Zhu Hao say this, he immediately thought that Zhu Hao wanted to be the emperor himself, so he hurriedly said: "The last general is willing to be His Royal Highness, oh, no, it is Your Majesty, serve the dogs and horses!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Seeing this, the other three also followed Xie Gang and shouted long live, and Zhu Hao immediately shouted: "Presumptuous! The country has a prince, and the family has an eldest brother, how dare this prince covet the throne, you are like this, is this to put this prince in a place of disloyalty and unfilial piety? ”

Xie Gang listened to Zhu Hao's words and looked at Zhu Hao's angry expression, only then did he realize that he had just made a mistake, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness is angry, please forgive Your Highness, Your Highness didn't just ...... Say let the last general do it...... Is it the hero who supported the new king? That's why the last general ......"

Zhu Hao said angrily: "What? Give your disloyal and unfilial thoughts to this prince, if you have such thoughts, this prince will not be able to spare you first! Hum! This prince asked you to support the new monarch Naturally, the royal brother of this prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace! ”

When Xie Gang heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and confessed his mistake: "The last general will be guilty, and please ask His Highness for forgiveness!" If there is anything for the last general to do, please let His Highness just command! ”

When Zhu Hao heard this, he snorted dissatisfiedly, glanced at Xie Gang warningly, and then said, "Get up!" Forget it this time, don't take it as an example! After finishing speaking, Zhu Hao paused and continued: "Xie Gang, this prince knows that you are in the Praetorian Guard and have been in business for many years, and this prince asks you, how sure are you that you are now letting you forcibly take over the Praetorian Guard?" You don't have to think about other things, this prince can guarantee you that you will have no merit afterwards! ”

The reason why Zhu Hao added one more sentence was to let Xie Gang take over the Praetorian Guard with peace of mind. Don't let Xie Gang, because of what the law of the Ming Dynasty says, forcibly taking over the army, it is regarded as a rebellion, and the words of the Nine Clans are afraid, and he does not dare to forcibly take over the Praetorian Guard, and when the time comes, he will spoil his own big affairs.

Sure enough, Zhu Hao's last sentence was like a reassuring pill, making Xie Gang think about it seriously, the possibility of forcibly taking over the Praetorian Guard, as well as the pros and cons, Xie Gang pondered for a long time, and the other three looked at Xie Gang together, waiting for Xie Gang's reply. However, Zhu Hao did not urge Xie Gang, and finally Xie Gang finally clenched his fist fiercely and said: "The last general will follow His Highness, whatever His Highness says, the last general will do it!" Don't dare to say anything else, as long as the last general goes back, they will all obey the order, please rest assured that Your Highness will do so! ”

Zhu Hao stroked his palms when he heard this: "Okay! Commander Xie really has courage! My father didn't trust you in vain, and this prince didn't look at you wrong! In this way, let the flower guards accompany you to the Praetorian Guard, and if anyone keeps greeting, kill them on the spot! ”

Saying that, Zhu Hao raised his voice and said, "Xie Gang, Hua Rong, listen to the order!" ”

When Xie Gang heard this, he immediately paid homage and saluted Zhu Hao: "The last general!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Hua Rong also followed to pay homage, and also saluted Zhu Hao: "My subordinates are here!" ”
