Chapter 697: A soldier dies before he is born

Le'an Han Palace.

Since raising the banner of martyrdom, the little Le'an has not stopped. Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, first imitated Zhu Di at the beginning, established the five armies of the left and right, and sent the five younger sons starting from the fifth son of Shu to supervise the army. Immediately after, he successively sent a group of confidant officers to the surrounding Weishou Prefecture to snatch cattle and horses and Ding Zhuang, etc., and even the prince and the fourth son of Shu were also sent to Denglai to contact Weihaiwei, Chengshanwei, Lingshanwei and other elite guards.

However, after doing all this, he did not take advantage of the unveiling of the pole to attack the neighboring state capital in order to lay down a base, but closely followed the movements of the imperial court. Since the failure of the plan to intercept Zhu Zhanji halfway, he knew that this time he would definitely not be good, so even if Zhu Zhanji was a reward, a gallo, and a favor like Zhu Gaochi, and even sent someone to write a letter and say countless good things when he just started the army, he made up his mind to let the other party do whatever he wanted.

Even if the emperor beheaded Xia Yuanji and Yang Rong according to his palindrome, he would never give up! He has been waiting for this supreme position for more than 20 years, and now it is time to take it back with his own hands!

As a result, Zhu Gaoxu, who used to dislike the lack of grandeur in the Le'an Palace, has been living in the main hall of the palace these days, and often sits on a gold nine-dragon chair cast in private to meet with subordinates, messengers, and neighboring state and county officials who come to take refuge, and put on the paise of the Son of Heaven. On this day, several confidant officers who went to various prefectures and counties to rob livestock and horses rushed back and reported their harvest one by one.

"Back to Chitose, we took 19 camels, 120 horses, and a total of 1,500 stone of military rations!"

"Master Chitose, we have a total of ninety-two horses, and a total of two thousand stones of military rations, all of which have been shipped back!"

"There are three hundred and twenty-one sturdy people here!"

After scrambling to repay the merits, Zhu Gaoxu was extremely satisfied, and looked at Wang Bin on the side. The most trusted commander stepped out at this time, bowed and saluted: "The humble leader swept all the way to Haifeng, Potai, Gaoyuan, and Xincheng, and obtained a total of 20,000 stone of military rations, more than 240 horses, and 950 sturdy soldiers and civilians who were willing to take refuge in a thousand years old. Now the food hoarded in Le'an is enough to support a whole year, enough to ensure the success of the event! ”

"Good!" Zhu Gaoxu slapped the armrest vigorously, stood up and laughed, and glanced at the generals in the court with satisfaction, "In the past, the father and emperor raised his arms and gathered the five armies, and then swept the world and became the master, rewarding all the heroes from the dragon. Now this clan is also determined to follow the example of his father, the Emperor, and then the glory and wealth will be shared with you! ”

Everyone risked the risk of annihilation to follow Zhu Gaoxu, just for such a beautiful future, and at this time, they naturally agreed to it. When they retreated, they could not hide their excitement, and when they went down the steps, they could not help but talk again. Zhu Gaochi in the main hall didn't think he was angry, but he paced back and forth, and his heavy footsteps stepped on the bluestone ground, making a muffled sound that made people palpitate.

"Zhu Zhanji, that yellow-mouthed child, he actually sent Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao to conquer this domain, it is simply a good wine and good food sent to the door! I think that Chen Mao's Lao Tzu was defeated in the hands of this domain, so he discussed with others to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but the old guy did not work hard and died, but Chen Mao rose step by step! Not to mention him, even Zhang Fu was not afraid to come to this domain in person...... What kind of British duke, just laid down a mere crossing, but became a generation of famous generals! ”

As soon as he thought that Zhang Fu dared to detain Mei Qing, Zhu Gaoxu felt that his heart was on fire, and he turned his head to stare at Wang Bin and asked, "Wang Bin, tell me, is the martial brave and world-famous clan the number one general in the world, or is he Zhang Fu stealing an English word according to his position?" ”

Hearing that Zhu Gaoxu actually compared himself with Zhang Fu, Wang Bin was suddenly dumbfounded. It's just that although he is not very good at words, he knows that he can't sweep away the interest of this master at this time, and racked his brains and thought for a while before replying: "Your Highness is a brave general who was praised by Emperor Taizong when he was alive. ”

"Hmph, that's it! Zhang Fu is not an opponent of this domain, let alone Chen Mao! ”

Leaving these words, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and sat on the Nine Dragons chair, clutching the gold armrest, thinking about the wonderful prospects after defeating Chen Mao's army. I thought that with the strength of his father Zhu Di, after taking Tongzhou, he still wanted the son to stick to Beijing City, and then led the Daning army to defeat the southern army in one fell swoop. As soon as Chen Mao's army arrives, he has the elite five armies inside, and the tens of thousands of elite guards in Shandong, and he can easily establish his prestige at that time, where do you need to bother to fight Jinan and Qingzhou?

"Chitose Lord, Chitose Lord is not good!"

Zhu Gaoxu, who was beaming with pride, was startled by this voice, and suddenly woke up. Seeing that Wang Bin didn't know when he had disappeared, and the one kneeling down was a little eunuch, he scolded angrily: "What is so panicked, could it be that the imperial army has reached the door?" ”

"No, it's not ......" The little eunuch replied, and then he stole a glimpse of Zhu Gaoxu's face full of violence and impatience, and he was so frightened that he quickly explained, "It's Dr. Feng." Doctor Feng didn't come back last night, and the little ones wanted to come to report the incident, but the carrier hall stopped them from entering. Now...... At this moment, a corpse floated up in the big pond in the back garden, and it was a ...... It's Dr. Feng! ”

Knowing that this was definitely not good news, the little eunuch fell to the ground in fear, for fear that Zhu Gaoxu would spit out the words "cane to death" in anger. However, after waiting for a while, he didn't hear any sound from above, and finally had the courage to quietly turn his face sideways and glance at Zhu Gaoxu. Seeing that although Zhu Gaoxu's face was gloomy, he didn't have any other moves, although he didn't understand what was going on, he knew that this time he could save his life.

Thinking that since last month, he had regained his former majesty, and the night royal girl was also unhindered, Zhu Gaoxu moved to kill people and kill his mouth, and only instructed two henchmen and eunuchs to do it. When he heard that the person was dead, he thought that someone had done the job well, and immediately ordered angrily: "Find a few people to bury the body, deal with it as soon as possible on this hot day, and don't put out any unpleasant smell." What inscriptions and so on should not be used, the place to find should be hidden, and the soil should be filled strongly, do you understand? ”

"Yes, yes, little one obeys."

Although the little eunuch said that he served "Feng Yuanming" for a while, but the old guy was eccentric, and he didn't have a good impression of him. And when he tiptoed and withdrew, Zhu Gaoxu stood up and stretched comfortably.

"The old guy is finally dead, so no one will ever know about it again. Finally, he didn't get people in vain, and the old guy's medical methods are not bad! ”

Since Concubine Wei "passed away", Zhu Gaoxu has never appointed a step-concubine. In addition to the main concubine, the prince can also accept ten wives, but where can he satisfy these, there are no less than dozens of beauties in the entire back garden, all of whom are young and jade. Because of the good news outside, and his illness has been completely cured, for three nights, he called six maids to take turns to accompany him to bed, and every time it was dawn, these women were paralyzed like mud, but he was more and more refreshed, so he naturally focused more on the pleasure of bed.

The officers and soldiers outside naturally didn't know that Zhu Gaoxu was obsessed with women, but several confidant officers knew about it, so they pushed Wang Bin to admonish. However, in this kind of thing, Wang Bin, who has always been the most trusted, has a nose of ashes. He just made an analogy with the short-lived Zhu Gaochi, and was driven out by the angry Zhu Gaochu.

"Don't compare this clan with Zhu Gaochi's fat man! That damn fat man was not qualified to ascend to the throne in the first place, and the old man chose the wrong person! The spirit of this domain dragon horse is that hundreds of people are also at ease at night! ”

As soon as Wang Bin came out and said to a few colleagues and subordinates, everyone was speechless, only the commander Wei Da said angrily: "If it's just night, our subordinates naturally have nothing to say, but now it's daytime!" Everyone went around to inspect the city defenses, hoard supplies, and train the army, if it was known that the Han King Chitose was actually busy...... At this time, the morale of the army will be chaotic! ”

Several people were standing there and discussing, and when they were all anxious, the sharp-eyed Wang Bin saw Zhizhou Zhu Heng hurrying over, and immediately signaled everyone to shut up. Just like when Zhu Di raised the army, Zhu Gaoxu did not use a few literati under his command, and Zhu Heng, who succeeded Sun Lianggan, was the only civilian official who took refuge in Zhu Gaoxu. Although Zhu Gaoxu trusted this person a lot and even used his generals, many officers couldn't get used to this villain who could only slap his beard.

"Is there something wrong with Lord Zhu?"

"A few generals, can you hurry up and report to King Han Chitose, I have something important!"

Seeing Zhu Heng's sweaty appearance, several officers glanced at each other, but none of them let go out. Wei Da looked him up and down, and asked arrogantly: "Master Zhu, Master Chitose probably doesn't have time to see you right now, don't hide anything from you, it's the same as a few of us." If it's really important, we have to accompany you to see Chitose Lord; If it doesn't matter, you can just go back! ”

Zhu Heng didn't know that these people looked down on him, but he had neither Xuanhe's family background nor extraordinary talents, nor did he dare to offend these hot officers, so he had to laugh and say: "It's really important." Just now came news from the capital, saying that the main general of the army has changed, and now it is not the Marquis of Ningyang......"

Wang Bin suddenly became alert, and hurriedly asked, "It's not the Marquis of Ningyang, could it be replaced by the British Duke?" ”

"It's not an English duke! It's the emperor'......" Zhu Heng knew that it was wrong as soon as he exited the emperor's character, and hurriedly changed his words, "That one wants to be recruited in person!" The will of the pro-conquest has gone down, saying that it is to join the capital to defend the Beijing camp, and a total of 200,000 people will come to conquest! ”

Two hundred thousand!

Hearing such a number, Wang Bin didn't dare to slack off, turned around and rushed into the carrier door like a gust of wind. Although he is Zhu Gaoxu's confidant, at this time, he can only report layer by layer, and it is easy to wait until someone comes out with the slight movement of the beaded curtain, but what he sees is Zhu Gaochu who is wearing a silk shirt indiscriminately, yawning on the one hand, and stretching his waist on the other.

"What's so in such a hurry!"

"Your Highness, there is news from the capital, he has issued an order to drive the expedition in person!"

Zhu Gaoxu, who was covering his mouth with his hand, was stunned for a moment, he slowly lowered his hand, and confirmed it suspiciously, and when Wang Bin clearly said that Zhu Zhanji had indeed ordered the imperial drive to march in person, his face that was still careless just now changed suddenly. Even if his father Zhu Di was a strong feudal lord in the north, he was defeated several times against the southern army, and even only a few people came back in a hurry at the most miserable time, which was a situation that Zhu Yunwen had never personally conquered. His nephew was different from Zhu Yunwen, he could shoot arrows on horses, and if he really led the army to come, the officers he had contacted earlier might be indecided.

"How is that possible...... Didn't the news come out that it was Chen Mao? Wait, could it be that Fang Ling who was surrounded by Qing deliberately concealed it and did not report it? Damn, all of them are wine bags and rice bags, wine bags and rice bags! ”

Zhu Gaoxu, who was furious, casually pushed down the high flower shelf on the side, and as the vase fell to the ground with a bang, he punched the wall with hatred, and kicked down Gao Ji and the chair several times in a rage, and after a while, he gradually lost his breath and sat on the chair on the side. However, as soon as he sat down like this, he suddenly felt his heart beating fast, and then he was a little out of breath, so he couldn't help but cover his chest.

Seeing Zhu Gaochu smashing things in anger, Wang Bin never dared to say anything, but seeing Zhu Gaochu suddenly grabbing his chest in pain, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask. Finding that the person was already blue and speechless, he hurriedly turned around and went out in a panic, grabbed a eunuch and ordered him to invite Dr. Feng. However, when he returned to the room again, he saw that Zhu Gaoxu had already slipped from the chair to the ground, and his face was terrifying.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you must hold on for a while, the humble post has already ordered someone to ask for a doctor! Isn't that Dr. Feng a wonderful rejuvenation, as long as he is there, this little illness will definitely not get in the way! ”

He thought to himself that he had the point, however, he saw that Zhu Gaoxu was not only relieved, but his eyes widened, and his terrible appearance seemed to swallow him, but after all, he couldn't say a word. Soon, several officers outside rushed in, but the doctor Feng that Wang Bin was looking forward to was still nowhere to be seen. Time passed gradually, and I don't know how long it took, when a little eunuch stumbled in, and when he saw that all the officers were looking at him, he couldn't help but sit on the ground in fright.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Feng...... Dr. Feng fell into the pool and drowned three days ago! ”

When they heard this, everyone was shocked. Wang Bin gasped, and when he looked back, he saw that Zhu Gaochi was still staring, but there was a dead intent in his eyes. He endured the horror in his heart, stretched out his hand to probe his nose, and unwillingly tried the pulse on his neck, and then suddenly retracted his hand, and spit out four words in despair.

"Your Highness...... ......"
