Chapter 206: Nine Guards of Heaven Gate 1
"Find a place to sit yourself, I'll be back with you two this time, if I say it, you keep it in mind, and bring those old things by the way." Zhu Jianshen spoke very slowly, and there was no joy or anger in his tone.
After the two of them sat down, Zhu Jianshen looked at Wu Guang and asked, "Everyone has been notified, and those old things still don't want to come back to see me?" ”
Wu Guang said abruptly: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, what kind of temperament is the shopkeeper, Your Majesty knows better than the ministers, since he said that he would never see each other again in this life, I am afraid that he will not come back if he does not wait for His Majesty to leave." ”
Zhu Jianshen fell into deep thought when he heard this, and in a trance, he seemed to remember the past scenes when he first ascended the throne.
No one dared to interrupt the emperor's musings, and after he came back to his senses, the two of them, who had remained motionless, changed their comfortable postures.
"That's it!" Zhu Jianshen sighed leisurely: "They can't let go of the past, I don't blame them." My time is short, but the Ming Dynasty can't be chaotic. Gu Lun's girl likes to mess around, and when I am here, she can't make a fuss, but once I am gone, this capital is afraid that it will set off a bloody storm again.
Wu Guang, I can ignore the matter of blackmailing the Wan family, go back and find a way to keep Gui Qian neutral, at least, don't let his Liaodong border army get involved.
Jiang Wei, you are in Jinyiwei, the officials of all sizes in the capital are most familiar with you, take these incriminating evidence, talk to those officials, and tell them that the Ming Dynasty cannot be messed up.
Huzi's child is stubborn, you try to persuade him around the corner, if he refuses to listen, let him go! With Youzhu here, this kid won't do anything harmful to the Ming royal family in a short period of time. ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that my lord has become suspicious of the minister." Jiang Wei was very worried.
Zhu Jianshen smiled and said, "Zhang Wenxuan is very smart, and you are not stupid." If he doubts you, you dispel his doubts. Tianmen Jiuwei, you are the eighth, even Wu Guang can do something, there is no reason why you can't do it. Of course, if you're willing to ask those old guys for help, I'm fine. ”
Wu Guang seemed to deliberately dilute this sad atmosphere, and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I heard that this Governor Zhang went on a killing spree in Ningxia and made all the Hashid with his nostrils facing the sky into a prisoner. With the assistance of such capable ministers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be worry-free. ”
Zhu Jianshen was unwilling to dilute this sad atmosphere, and once again brought the question to the aftermath of the explanation: "The prince still doesn't want to see him for the time being, and after he sits on the throne in the future, it will not be too late for you to face the new monarch." In case it doesn't work, you must ensure the prince's safety. There are not many people I can trust, and the nine of you are, don't let me have no peace under the nine springs. ”
The nine guards of Tianmen each have their own tasks, scattered all over the country, and it is not easy to come to the capital. knew his own body, and Zhu Jianshen had to explain the aftermath clearly.
Wu Guangqiang said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and it will be fine." ”
Although he knew that he was deceiving himself, Wu Guang still didn't want to believe that His Majesty the Emperor, who was high-spirited in the past, had now become a withered old man. If the emperor is dying, he really can't accept this fact for a while.
Zhu Jianshen smiled bitterly: "Even you, the slippery head who doesn't like compliments the most, said flattering words to me, and you still said that I was in the prime of life." I know my body, otherwise I wouldn't have let you come all the way back. I will accompany me to dinner, and after eating, we will leave. ”
Wu Guang's eyes immediately turned red when he heard this, and Jiang Wei sat on the stool and sobbed silently.
The three of them chatted for a long time, until it was time to eat at noon, Liang Fang sent the food into the Dongnuan Pavilion, and several people were still chatting. Zhu Jianshen looked good, and surprisingly ate a bowl of millet porridge.
It wasn't until nightfall that the two of them, who covered their faces with their hats again, left the palace under the escort of the soft sedan chair in the palace.
Liang Fang was puzzled but didn't dare to ask, since the emperor was hiding it from him, he didn't want to let himself know about the existence of these people. He is a house slave of the heavenly family, and he has been by the emperor's side for decades, so he naturally knows what to ask and what not to ask.
Zhu Jianshen didn't think about it so much, and when Liang Fang waited by his side again, he asked Liang Fang with a smile: "Do you really want to know the identities of those people?" ”
Liang Fang was stunned, nodded, and then shook his head suddenly.
Zhu Jianshen sneered: "It's not difficult to know their identities, just listen to me tell you a story." With enough patience, I can guarantee that this story will be very exciting. ”
When it came to this, Liang Fang just didn't want to hear it anymore, so he could only respond to it with a hard head: "The old slave listens." ”
Zhu Jianshen put on a look of reminiscence, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly spoke after a long time: "This has to start with my father, the change of Tumubao, my father is in prison, and the courtiers are unwilling to pay any price, so that my uncle becomes the emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
The Warat people couldn't please it, so they had to send their father back, they had a good idea, the country could not be without a king for a day, but there were no two days, the people had no two masters, and the two tigers were fighting, and in the end they were afraid that they would lose both. When the father and uncle were in a losing situation, it was the time for them to take advantage of the fire to rob.
My imperial uncle is not simple, he wants to pass on the throne to his son, and he has not reigned for long, but he has already developed a sense of dependence on the throne.
Who doesn't like the feeling of scolding Fang Xuan? Who can let go of the honor above 10,000 people?
My father became a prisoner unexpectedly, and I was also in danger at that time. Although the crown prince is on me, I know that the throne is about to no longer belong to me.
The change of seizing the door, the father snatched everything back, that was his country, that was his world, and it should be his.
During this period, there were nine people around me, and these nine people were all guards of the East Palace, but their hearts were on my side.
How many times did the ruthless imperial uncle want to use despicable means to put me to death, they all stepped forward and sacrificed their lives to save me. I call them the Nine Guards of Heaven.
It's a pity that some people have died and can't accompany me to see this prosperous world.
Of the nine, five of whom were still alive when I ascended the throne.
After all these years, two more have died, and there are still three old guys left, but because of Zhen'er's affairs, they refuse to see me alive or dead. I know that it is not wise for me to refine the pill to seek immortality, and I also know that I am not a wise man.
But I didn't expect that I was going to die, and they still wouldn't forgive me.
Tianmen Nine Guards, Nine Guards in One, Honor and Disgrace. I have been the emperor for twenty-three years, and I have seen too many loyal and treacherous courtiers, but only nine of them have truly achieved this.
The Nine Guards of the Heavenly Gate are my guardians, without them, I would not be alive now, and I would not even be able to become this Ninety-Five. In the future, they will become the guardians of Youjiao, and their children and grandchildren will pass it on for generations to come. ”
The secret that he had never heard of came out of the emperor's mouth, and Liang Fang was already sweating profusely after hearing it. As a eunuch, he knew very well that sometimes knowing too much would not do him any good.
Liang Fang's expression fell in Zhu Jianshen's eyes, and the Ming Emperor, who had run out of oil, laughed while panting: "Look at how scared you like that." Don't worry, I don't mean anything else when I tell you this, I just want you to be the guide of the Nine Guards of Heaven in the future. If I really have murderous intentions against you, I will already cut off your head just because of the inner library. ”
I have to say that Zhu Jianshen is really a nostalgic person, he can not ask Liang Fang about corruption because of Liang Fang's many years of service, or he can indulge the eldest princess Gulun to do wrong.
In the heart of this emperor, who has been tortured countless times in his childhood, affection is more important than anything else.
"Thank you, old slave, Your Majesty for your kindness." Liang Fang is grateful, and this gratitude comes from the heart.
Zhu Jianshen said lightly: "I said that someone will settle accounts with you in the future, but fortunately, you are still smart in the past two years, and you haven't offended that kid harshly." ”
Liang Fang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead: "The old slave is a loyal servant of His Majesty for a day, and he will be a loyal servant of His Majesty for the rest of his life. The old slave did not dare to dream of being honored and favored in the future, and only hoped to have a happy old age. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Jianshen's face coughed violently before he had time to smile.
Liang Fang walked to Zhu Jianshen's side with an arrow, reached out and gently patted Zhu Jianshen's thin back, and then respectfully handed the silk handkerchief.
Zhu Jianshen took the silk handkerchief, covered his mouth and coughed for a while, and the entire Dongnuan Pavilion could hear the emperor's coughing, and after a while, the coughing sound gradually became weaker.
When Zhu Jianshen took the handkerchief away from his mouth, there was already a black blood clot on the handkerchief.
Liang Fang's eyes were staring at the silk handkerchief tightly, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, Zhu Jianshen also saw the blood clots, and his already sallow face instantly turned white: "Remember, you didn't see anything today." ”
"Your Majesty, Xuan Taiyi!" Liang Fang was anxious.
Zhu Jianshen shook his head: "The medicine of the imperial doctor is too bitter, and they can't let me live, at most it will be prolonged." Rather than suffering so much and suffering so many sins, it is better to leave earlier. I have been a faint monarch all my life, and now that it is time for the great journey, why bother to let those imperial doctors accompany the burial. ”
Liang Fang nodded desperately, caressed Zhu Jianshen's back, and handed him tea to rinse his mouth.
Life and death, the most incomprehensible thing, everyone has to experience. Seeing Zhu Jianshen's painful appearance, Liang Fang's heart was like a knife. At a certain moment, he wished that he could go to the pain for the emperor.
The reason for this feeling is not that Liang Fang is kind-hearted and close to a saint. Liang Fang is also a human being, he has feelings when he is a human being, and after decades of getting along, although he is a slave, he still has feelings for the emperor that human beings should have.
Zhang Ru didn't know what was happening in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and when Jiang Wei and Wu Guang left the capital, he was in a daze at the mountains of information in the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen.
