Chapter 75: Who Wants to Kill the King?
When Zhu Houzhao saw the white hair of King An Ning, he still felt a little sympathetic in his heart, and he remembered some family affection.
"Prince Anning is polite, I have heard of the prince's virtuous name in the capital, by the way, I have seen Gui Qianjin, she is very good now, I hope the prince will not read it." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Alas, this little girl, since she was a child, she said that she liked the Central Plains, so she ran to the Central Plains alone, I sent someone to follow her and help her live a good life in the Central Plains, and later she said that she wanted to practice martial arts, so I found someone to find a good master for him to learn martial arts, but although she was willful, she was still a good girl, I think she and the emperor will get along well." King Anning said,
"Well, yes, I think your daughter is quite happy, everything will be fine." Zhu Houzhao said,
"By the way, Lord Dongfang came here late at night, there should be something to do." The prince said,
"Yes, there are some things, since the prince is in semi-seclusion, I can't say, I just want to ask, now the king of Chengwu is in charge of the court, if King Chengwu is sick or something and can't do things, who will be in charge." Zhu Houzhao asked,
"Why did you say that, since you asked, I will tell you the truth, if there is anything bad about King Chengwu, the king will let me deal with national affairs, and it will have no impact on the country, but King Chengwu is energetic, it is the year of fighting, he should be able to do it for many years." Prince An Ning said,
"Okay, I know, by the way, the prince, we are not convenient to stay in the guest house today, and we want to live temporarily in the prince's mansion, the prince will not accept us," Zhu Houzhao said, "Oh, since the lord of the East can afford to be in the palace of this king, then the king should be a good reception, and I will give the best guest room to the lord of the east." "The prince of tranquility said,
"Oh, that's not necessary, I need my whereabouts not to be revealed, in this case, the prince will give us a few of his most secluded rooms, and then, you don't need a lot of service, you just need to send a maid you trust the most to help us deliver the necessary things, how about it."
Zhu Houzhao said,
Prince An Ning seems to be familiar with everything, "Okay, I'll give you the small courtyard in the most corner of my house, usually idle people can't go, that's where I practice Buddhism, I'll give it to Lord Dongfang these days, and on weekdays, I'll call a maid I trust the most to bring you meals and all kinds of things." ”
"Okay, thank you, Lord Wang, if that's the case, thank you very much." Zhu Houzhao said,
"You're welcome, you need to rest now, I'll call Agarwood." At this time, the prince shouted outside: "Agarwood, agarwood." ”
A maid walked in,
"Agarwood, you take these guests to the small courtyard where I practice Buddhism every day, remember, you usually don't let anyone in, you can send the things they need yourself." The prince said,
"Okay, I know, my lord, I've got people to clean up there, just go now, I'll clean it up," Agarwood said, "You take your guests there, Agarwood, remember not to tell anyone else in the house about this." "The prince of tranquility said,
"The prince takes his leave." Zhu Houzhao arched his hand,
"Lord Dongfang is polite, I hope Lord Dongfang is doing well." Prince An Ning said,
Under the leadership of Agarwood, Zhu Houzhao walked through the garden and came to a small courtyard behind a rockery.
Agarwood opened the door, Zhu Hou took them in, and saw that this was a courtyard with three finished characters, some flowers and plants in the middle courtyard, and the surrounding wings were blue bricks and tiles, wooden carved doors and windows,
Zhu Houzhao liked it very much at once, he thought, no wonder Chen Yingying likes that small courtyard, it turns out that he also has such a courtyard at home, when I returned to Beijing, I had already told her to go,
Zhu Houzhao always couldn't sleep that night, he remembered a lot of things, usually he always remembered a lot of things when he went to a strange place and couldn't sleep, but slowly he still fell asleep, because later he saw the moonlight in that place, and the moonlight suddenly quieted him,
Slowly he fell into a dream,
When he woke up from his dream in the morning, he heard someone outside the window shouting softly to himself: "Lord, lord." ”
When Zhu Houzhao heard Wang Ji's voice,
Zhu Houzhao got up and opened the door, "Wang Ji, what's the matter so early." Zhu Houzhao said,
"Lord, urgent, I was in that Kim Chang-sung residence this morning, and I heard that they were preparing to act today." Wang Ji said,
"Oh, what will they do, you know." Zhu Houzhao asked,
"It is said that this morning they agreed to let the king inspect the Janissaries, and they will attack the Janissaries." Wang Ji said,
"Oh, will they all be dispatched," Zhu Houzhao asked, "yes, they will all be dispatched." Wang Ji said,
"Okay, I'll think about it, you get ready first, and wait for Mu Lan to tell you how to do it." Zhu Houzhao said,
On the outskirts of Seoul, here is a barracks,
Today here is different from usual, today here is full of bright flags, and then all the soldiers who come in and out are majestic and high-spirited, and the appearance of these soldiers is different from that of normal days, if not consistently.
In the morning, a large group of men and horses suddenly came outside the barracks, and they were all protecting the arrival of a magnificent carriage, and then after a magnificent carriage arrived in the middle, a noble man came down from inside,
And all the men came forward and saluted him.
"Welcome to the King's coming, our guards are ready for the King's test." I saw the general of the Praetorian Guard come forward and say,
"Well, the Praetorian Guard is an important place to surround Gyeonggi, and it must be managed well, I have heard some rumors recently, and I need the loyalty of the Praetorian Guard more at this time, do you understand, Zheng Yicheng." The king said,
The leader of the forbidden army named Zheng Yicheng hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty understands, Your Royal Highness, please rest assured." ”
"Well, let's go, go in and see your soldiers and see how they're doing." As he spoke, the king walked in,
When the king entered, the gate of the barracks was quietly closed for some reason.
And then a lot of soldiers stood at the gate, not knowing if their intention was to prevent the people inside from coming out or not to let the people from the outside, or both.
There was a review stand in the barracks, "Your Royal Highness, please go to the review stand, and I will let the soldiers drill for you right away, and see how majestic our Praetorian Guard is." Zheng Yicheng said,
"Okay, you can start as soon as possible." When the king walked to the reviewing stand and sat down, he said to Zheng Yicheng,
"Yes, Your Highness." Zheng Yicheng walked to the corner of the review stand at this time and said loudly: "Today is His Royal Highness the King to inspect the state of our Praetorian Guard, brothers want to compete for performance, now, please go together to show Your Highness, see how strong our team is." ”
