On the way when Shen Muhong came, there were still many distracting thoughts in his heart, and when he really heard this sentence "Mr. Shen, long time no see", he was relieved, chuckled, and said, "Lord Wang, you might as well come down and talk." ”

Zhu Yousong nodded curtly, grabbed Ge Jiu's shoulder, and jumped off the wine table. Yue Chenfeng knew what his brothers were doing, if they were here to discuss big things, most of them would be the same as just now. He coughed dryly and said, "It's too noisy here, the wine is stinking, let's go to my room and talk." ”

Ge Jiu was the first to respond: "Okay, listen to the eldest brother, go to the eldest brother's room." ”

Yue Chenfeng scolded: "Don't go to you group of inferior people, you don't have any ideas, you know how to coax." Just Fu Ba and me, Brother Wang Junxian, Mr. Shen, and Zhang Hao, you are waiting here. ”

When the leaders heard that Yue Chenfeng didn't let them go, they were happy, they didn't plan to discuss these things, as long as they gave them an order when the time came, they could charge into battle. The five of them stepped forward, and the hall was lively and drinking.

The five of them came to Yue Chenfeng's room, lit candles, and sat down in different places, Zhu Yousong shook his head, sobered up and said, "I got a letter today, and it was passed to me by an absolutely trustworthy person in the palace. The letter said, "Your Majesty is critically ill, and Wei Zhongxian has arrested Zhou Shuye." This Zhou Shuye is my person in the capital, who specially helps me run errands in the capital. Now the situation is obvious, it is clear that Wei Zhongxian is going to attack me, and I am determined to strike first, what do you think? ”

Although he asked everyone with this sentence, the four people, including him, all looked at Shen Muhong. Shen Muhong pondered for a while and said, "Lord Wang, the letter you mentioned, the person who wrote the letter has two messages to pass on to Lord Wang. The first is that His Majesty is critically ill, and the second is that Wei Zhongxian wants to be unfavorable to the prince. The prince cares about it, and puts his focus on the second one, but as everyone knows, the first one is the earth-shattering event and the root of the problem. As far as I know, the prince and Wei Zhongxian have no suspicions, right? ”

Zhu Yousong said stupidly: "Not only is there no suspicion, in the eyes of the world, I am simply embarrassed with him." ”

"That's right, why did he suddenly want to be unfavorable to the prince, I'm afraid that the reason for this has to be found from the first thing. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, once the emperor is seriously ill, he is bound to block the news and appoint a new monarch. The news that His Majesty is critically ill came from the palace, and I am afraid that the current emperor will be in danger, otherwise there would be no such rumors in the palace. Unless the situation is already very serious, maybe the emperor will have died.

At this juncture, Wei Zhongxian wants to be unfavorable to the prince, and there are only two possibilities. One is to please the new monarch, everyone knows that the Fu Wangfu is rich in the world, and the prince has no heirs or brothers, if he falls into the prince, the Fu Wang's line will be broken. The endless wealth of the Fu Wangfu is naturally owned by the imperial court, and now the imperial court is using troops everywhere to make ends meet, if Wei Zhongxian wants to take the wealth of the Fu Wangfu as a congratulatory gift to the new monarch, so that the new monarch can convince his ability and know that he can get silver, so as to keep his position.

The second possibility is that Wei Zhongxian determined that the prince was the reason why the current emperor was critically ill. Wei Zhongxian and the current emperor's master and servant are very affectionate, the world knows, and now we occupy Kaifeng, which is undoubtedly a thorn in the side of the imperial court. And the prince besieged but did not attack, the current emperor was inevitably worried, Wei Zhongxian took the emperor's illness to the prince and avenged the lord. Other than that, I really can't think of why he suddenly turned against the prince at this kind of stall. ”

Zhu Yousong felt that it made a lot of sense, and nodded: "Then in Mr. opinion, what should we do?" ”

"Now the key is tied to the person who is in the capital, reliable or not? As far as I know, the prince has never done evil deeds, and what Wei Zhongxian can use to attack the prince is only a few confrontations with Luoyang officials. ”

Zhang Hao couldn't help but interject: "Those few times were with the help of Wei Zhongxian, and he did more than us." ”

Zhu Yousong scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "That's right, at the beginning, I was weak and weak, and I was not the opponent of those local snake officials, so I used the power of Wei Zhongxian." ”

Shen Muhong bowed his head and said: "Since this is the case, then he can't use this article anymore, he can only "want to add no excuse to the crime", I am afraid that Zhou Shuye will bite the prince at will and create some trumped-up charges, is this person reliable?" ”

Zhu Yousong thought of Zhou Shuye, he really didn't look like a backbone, and said worriedly: "Let's plan for the worst." ”

Shen Muhong breathed a long sigh of relief and sighed: "Then there is only one way, the prince quickly recruited us and others, stationed in Kaifeng, and collected people." When the time comes, show off the might of the soldiers, the soldiers and horses, Kaifeng and the capital all the way to the smooth road, the fast horse march can reach the city in less than two days. The elite soldiers and horses in the capital were all brought out by Wei Liangqing, and now they are all in our hands, the capital is just an empty city, no matter who in the capital wants to attack the prince, they can't help but weigh it. ”

"Good! That's a good idea, so do it! Zhu Yousong was greatly satisfied with what he heard, this method is not only less risky, but also easy to succeed. Zhang Hao also nodded frequently, this idea is indeed much more clever than gathering people and horses to enter the side of the Qingjun in the capital.

Shen Muhong's eyebrows tightened, and he said with a worried face: "It's just that in this way, the court will inevitably be wary of the prince in the future, no matter who takes the throne, I am afraid that the prince will become a thorn in his heart and a thorn in his eye." ”

The corners of Zhu Yousong's mouth twitched, snorted coldly, and said: "The knife is on the neck, I can't care about it so much, if the emperor really collapses this time, eighty percent of the successors are King Xin, this cousin of mine I know him too well, and what I am doing now has exceeded his tolerance limit." It is impossible for me and him to live in peace, unless I am willing to give up everything and become a rich and idle prince who is powerless to protect himself. ”

Wang Jun has been listening, and now he understands a little, and said: "Then we will open the city gate tomorrow and go out of the city to "surrender"?" Yue Chenfeng had been looking forward to this day for a long time, slapped the table and said, "Okay, I'll go and talk to those drunkards, and dedicate the city tomorrow." Fuba, go and see Yingying, that Nizi is clamoring to go out of the city to find you every day. ”

The decision has been made, Zhu Yousong's heart eased, except for worrying about Zhou Shuye, there was nothing else to worry about, nodded and said, "Then let's go our separate ways."
