Early the next morning, on the terrace, Zhu Qiming finally saw the outline of this worldly palace.

The innermost courtyard is several miles in radius, and although the buildings are elegant, they are also simple and not luxurious. Outside the inner courtyard, there are countless scattered houses, from where the sound of children playing can be heard from time to time. Beyond the dwellings is a large area of farmland, and peasants can be seen working everywhere in the fields.

Only then did Zhu Qiming realize that he had inadvertently become a "Wuling fisherman", and the people here were men farming and women weaving, enjoying themselves, as if living in a paradise, "I don't know if there is a Han, regardless of Wei and Jin".

"Your Highness, do you know where these people are coming from?"

A deep voice floated over, and Zhu Qiming followed the prestige, and saw Yanluo accompanied a Confucian scholar in a green shirt with gray hair to step on the last step.

"See His Royal Highness King Yue."

Pang Zhe? Zhu Qiming was slightly surprised, and bowed his hand back, "Mr. Pang." ”

Pang Zhe's gaze fell on the field in the distance, "Since the end of Xuande, it has been more than ten years, and under the fame of those so-called celebrities in the court, it is actually difficult to deserve!" It is okay that the incompetence of governance has led to internal and external troubles, but if they want to keep a good name, they have to cover up their bad deeds, and those innocent people who have witnessed the bad deeds of their families are doomed to be deprived of their lives. Your Highness, these people in front of you are the bereaved families of those who died in vain, and it can be regarded as an eye-opener to live to this day! ”

A group of maids came up to set up a table, served tea, and retreated.

It turns out that this is not one of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, but a refuge for many innocents! Zhu Qiming was shocked in his heart, he couldn't help but think of that year in the Qianqing Palace, when Wu Long mentioned leaving the palace outside the world, his perseverance based on the distorted sense, and the injustice and forbearance of the king afterwards.

"Your Highness, Mr. Pang, please have tea." Yanluo beckoned Zhu Qiming and Pang Zhe to take their seats.

Sitting on the high platform, browsing the highly layered courtyards and field scenery, there is a kind of mind splashing ink freehand, perhaps, the people who are happy on the side of the dwellings can form the Datong society in the mind of Confucius!

Pang Zhe leisurely tasted tea, and after a while, he changed the topic at the right time: "Your Highness can come to Zhuolu Mountain, which shows that Your Highness has expected that the Warat people will stop for a while, and the northern border will be safe in the short term." In fact, His Royal Highness can put his worries aside for the time being, after all, the commander is only 3,000 people, which is not enough to change the overall situation, since His Royal Highness's trust is very limited, then simply wait, and when the Tartar thieves come to the city one day, some people hit their heads against the south wall, and there is nothing to be done, and the insight of people of insight can control the situation! ”

Although it had long been expected that Daming would not be able to wake up and could only be woken up, when he really had to face this disaster, Zhu Qiming couldn't bear it after all. "Mr. Pang, the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River is rampant, will the emperor learn from the pain and drastically eliminate the accumulated evils?"

Pang Zhe shook his head, "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, at this time, if you want to get rid of the accumulated evils, you must be ruthless, open-minded, and have the responsibility of giving up on me." With the emperor's temperament, he seeks to be safe in everything, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to help if he scratches his boots. ”

"Mr. Pang has arrived at Zhuolu Mountain, and I am afraid that King Yu will come here soon." Zhu Qiming raised his lamp and sipped lightly, his eyes were indifferent, "Of course the emperor doesn't want to 'scrape bones to cure poison'!" Xiao Wang agrees with Mr. Wang's opinion, and presumably the same is true of King Yu. A bright King of Yue, a forbearant King of Yu, in the eyes of some people, these are two sharp swords hanging over their heads! Coincidentally, the two are about to meet in Zhuolu Mountain, and Mr. Pang thinks that Zhuolu Mountain will be as quiet as it is now? Moving interests is worse than digging people's ancestral graves, how can some people sit idly by! ”

Pang Zhe was shocked, "Your Highness is saying that there will be many uninvited guests gathered here in order to be a witness to inform the world about the secret meeting of the two kings, and force the emperor to collect the tiger and return to the cage?" It's not good, I'm afraid that the king has already set off! ”

Zhu Qiming's eyes were mysterious, "The matter has come to this point, it's useless to be anxious, Mr. Pang don't worry, with your wisdom, you will see the thoughts of the powerful and powerful, and the Son of Heaven also has the calculations of the Son of Heaven!" ”

······

The situation in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi has taken a turn for the worse, and the emperor seems to have forgotten all the fun in the palace, and only cares about taking care of the government, and does not go out of the Yongsu Palace all day long, and even the accommodation is also selected in the Yongsu Palace.

Princess Xiang's father died, and King Xiang asked for an order to go to Nanjing to bury his father-in-law, which made the emperor puzzled.

Hu Hu, an old minister of the Ti Dynasty, spoke very rarely from the position of King Xiang: "Your Majesty, you should follow the precedent of King Han going to Nanjing to worship his ancestors, and be invited by King Xiang." ”

When the emperor heard this, he secretly gritted his teeth, and anger rose in his chest. Sheji is already in turmoil, and the old minister's inability to govern the country has reached this point, so that he has almost put away all his good feelings towards the assistant minister, but he still gives the old minister some respect on the surface! And at this moment, Hu Hu, an old minister of the tired dynasty who has always been the ruler of the rules, openly instigated the Son of Heaven to violate the system, how could the emperor not be angry? And before that, many scandals such as Hu Hui's recruitment of demons and evil people into the mansion, and his descendants being rampant and domineering were revealed and passed into the ears of the emperor, so the new accounts and old accounts were turned over together, and the emperor couldn't bear it, and scolded Hu Hu for the first time in his life.

"King Han's ancestor worship follows the royal family ritual system, you compare the princess's family with the royal family, how can this be reasonable!"

Hu Hu was stunned there, his face changed several times, and finally he knelt on his knees, "The minister is old and faint, please pay tribute!" ”

There was a voice in the emperor's heart urging him to break with Hu Hu and others, but he finally made up his mind, and at the last moment, his heart softened. "Hu Qing's energy is not declining, and he can't be a leader. Let's go down. ”

After Hu Hu left, the emperor was angry and asked Wang Zhendao: "Sir, why did King Xiang go to Nanjing under the pretext of going to Nanjing?" ”

Wang Zhen bowed, "Your Majesty, this matter is mostly related to King Yue, and King Xiang Xu feels that he is not safe to stay in Xiangyang Mansion." ”

The emperor was shocked, "Has King Yue left Xuanfu?" ”

Jin Yiwei found out that eleven horsemen and horses left the camp of King Yue and went straight to Zhuolu Mountain. One of them is suspected to be the king of Yue. ”

"Could it be that the Lu clan fled into Zhuolu Mountain?" The emperor thought for a long time, "Order Jinyi Wei not to join in the fun." ”

"But ······" Wang Zhen raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, "It is rumored that the king of the king of the capital has quietly left Beijing, or he has arrived at Zhuolu Mountain.

The emperor's face sank, "King Yu's secret meeting with King Yue?" What did he want? ”

"Your Majesty, you can't do anything about it now! King Xiang was wary of King Yue, if King Yu and King Yue really had a secret meeting in Zhuolu Mountain, then how many people should be very interested in this. Once people from all walks of life gather there, it is easy to calm down the turmoil, and if the situation gets out of control, the earth will shake in fear! ”

The emperor paced anxiously, and after a long time, he stopped, "Order Jinyi Wei and Long Xiangwei to go to Zhuolu Mountain, Mr. told Ma Shun to be careful!" ”
