The huge palace became empty, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao was outside the palace, Liu Chengfeng stood solemnly under the palace, and Zhu Youzhu on the palace seemed to be empty, and the majesty of Fang Cai was swept away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The atmosphere was quiet and terrifying, but Liu Chengfeng understood Zhu Youzhang's thoughts, he was too tired and needed to rest.

Of course, the emperor will not rest, he is the emperor, he is the Hongzhi Emperor, isn't the Hongzhi Emperor already accustomed to dragging the sick and tired body to arrange one by one to solve the prescriptions of this disease-ridden huge empire?

The emperor was silent, and Liu Chengfeng didn't know how to say it.

He just sighed in his heart, King Ning's step by step was pressing, and the emperor in front of him had to make all kinds of forbearances, but he endured it to this point, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore.

King Ning has too many people to hate, but if he really starts a war for a King Ning, I am afraid that the vast majority of people in the government and the opposition are unprepared.

Ministers can delay one day at a time, and this kind of bad thing naturally hopes to be left to the successor to solve, and there is no reason for the so-called mess to be cleaned up by themselves.

The scholars only hope that the world will be peaceful, but as for how to maintain the peace in the world, they are not considering, they just hope that there will be no war in the south of the Yangtze River.

As for the warriors...... Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile in his heart, this secret smile was only afraid of a little helplessness, this is the Ming Dynasty, does the Ming Dynasty have the share of martial artists to speak? Warriors are just puppets, they don't have the right to speak, and literati are their brains, literati will speak for warriors, will tell warriors what justice and evil are, will tell warriors what is war or peace, warriors only need to have ears, don't need to have a mouth.

Of course, Liu Chengfeng is an exception, and all the commanders of the Jinyi Guard are accidents.

Zhu Youjiao's eyelids raised, his eyes swept over Liu Chengfeng, and he beckoned: "Come up, rely on me to speak." ”

He spoke in a tone that was not very heavy, very light, like a feather gently floating, and there was a deep sense of tiredness.

Upper hall, this hall is not the palace of the court hall, but the Danxi hall, Liu Chengfeng knows that this is not only a show of wealth, but I am afraid that there is another important reason that Zhu Youzhu does not even have the strength to speak loudly.

Liu Chengfeng did not twist, nor did he make a sincere and fearful appearance to say that the minister would die, but walked directly into the hall and stood in front of Zhu Youzhang, Zhu Youzhang had already taken off his crown, and his pale hair, wrinkled fish lines at the corners of his eyes, and bloodshot eyes appeared in front of Liu Chengfeng.

Zhu Youzhu said: "If King Ning rebels, can the imperial court quell the rebellion in time?" ”

This is what Zhu Youzhu cares about the most, he doesn't think that King Ning can achieve any big things, nor does he think that King Ning will be the opponent of the imperial court, what he cares about is the time to quell the rebellion, which is also a dark cloud that has been coiled in Zhu Youzhang's heart for a long time, the longer the rebellion lasts, the greater the damage to the productive forces, and the greater the damage to this dynasty.

Liu Chengfeng naturally couldn't answer this question, and he wasn't Jiang Ziya, how could he even guess this.

He thought for a while and said: "The longer it drags on, the greater the possibility of interference by the Tatars, the Tile Thorns and even the Mongol tribes in Monan, and the imperial court must quell the rebellion in time, so Weichen thinks that His Majesty must show determination, and the 10,000 new troops can be transferred to Jiujiang immediately. ”

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't you say that I also know, the new army, can the new army be entrusted with big things?" ”

This is the problem that Zhu Youzhu is uncertain about, the main force of counterinsurgency can only be the new army, the Mongols will definitely take advantage of the fire to loot, the border army naturally cannot be mobilized, and even the defense must be strengthened. As for the military households in various places, they are scum-like existences, a group of rabble, and it is difficult to even deal with bandits, except for the new army, the imperial court cannot draw strength at all.

At this time, Liu Chengfeng had no other way than to make some promises to comfort the emperor with confidence, he said: "The new army is enough to be ten with one, as long as the baggage is not a problem, presumably other problems are not big." ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded: "But I ......" He glanced at Liu Chengfeng: "I am no longer done, the reason why I made this decision is that since King Ning has already made up his mind to rebel, even if I delay, but once I drive the crane west, King Ning will also rebel, I originally thought that there was a possibility of appeasement, but now I know that King Ning's heart is too big." ”

He paused, continued to sigh, and said: "Military affairs, don't be careless, I also know that the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, there may not be a few who are sincere in the main battle, but the affairs of the new army have to be entrusted to you, the new army is built by you, and you are also fully supported, and you are the only one who is the most proficient in the affairs of the new army, you can write a charter yourself, King Ning has not much time, I don't have much time, and the arrow has to be sent, no one can delay it now, I hope ...... In my lifetime, I can see the good news in Nanchang. ”

Liu Chengfeng said gloomily: "Weichen has the order." ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled at Liu Chengfeng, and then said, "Prince Xuan enters the palace." ”

Zhu Houzhao had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he heard his father's call, he hurriedly came in, Zhu Youzhu beckoned to him, he naturally understood what it meant, and hurriedly went to the palace, standing side by side in front of Zhu Youzhu like Liu Chengfeng.

Zhu Houzhao was worried about Zhu Youzhang, and said in a low voice: "Father's body is ......."

Zhu Youzhu waved his hand to interrupt him, and said: "You are my son, but you are also the prince, as the prince, you don't want so many children and daughters, are you clear about the current situation?" ”

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly knelt down on his knees and said, "Erchen is clear, King Ning's side is only afraid that it will be reversed." ”

"Yes." Zhu Youzhu glanced at Zhu Houzhao kindly, but he didn't tell him to stand up, his eyes were empty for a while, and then he suddenly said: "It's not a blessing for the country to burn up the war, I don't know how many times there is still to say, you are the prince, how to fight this counterinsurgency battle, I let you plan it, but ...... This is just planning, every time you go to the cabinet and consult with the cabinet ministers, of course...... You also have to listen to Liu Chengfeng's opinion, Liu Chengfeng knows a lot about the operations of the new army, and he is loyal to me and you, foreign affairs can be entrusted to him, you don't want to be arbitrary, everything is based on the cabinet, you know? ”

Zhu Houzhao obviously had no joy, he looked forward to his father being alive and presiding over this matter, but he was no longer sensible, he was afraid that he would understand that his father had no skills to return to heaven.

Zhu Houzhao is a fragile person, tears have appeared in his eyes, and his voice is a little choked, and he said: "Erchen, Erchen understands." ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded, then looked at Liu Chengfeng, then at Zhu Houzhao, stretched out his hand, grabbed Liu Chengfeng, and then pulled Zhu Houzhao's hand up, and sighed: "You are brothers, one is my son, the other is my son-in-law, now that there is a big incident in the country, and the society is in danger, you have to work together, you have to twist it into a rope, brothers are of the same heart, and its profits are broken, you know?" ”

Liu Chengfeng blinked, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, Zhu Youzhang said these words from the bottom of his heart, he only had one son and one daughter in his life, in terms of family affection, all the feelings were only poured into these two people, he was Zhu Youzhang's only son-in-law, and this relationship was naturally not small.

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be a little moved, sometimes he is indeed a little heartless, he doesn't have many relatives in this world, and now he has a brother out of thin air...... Without waiting for Liu Chengfeng to think nonsense, Zhu Houzhao had already said: "Father, rest assured, with Master Liu here, the son will not disappoint his father." ”

This promise Liu Chengfeng believes that Zhu Houzhao is sincere, but Liu Chengfeng also knows that Zhu Houzhao belongs to an impulsive surname, easy to anger and easy to get emotional, and only God knows how long the promise lasts.

Zhu Youzhu smiled with satisfaction, nodded, and said, "Go down, staff your military aircraft, discuss your national affairs, I am tired, really tired, and I can't lift my energy." Actually, last night, I saw the first emperor in my sleep, the first emperor...... Ay...... He still doesn't like me, he still looks at me coldly, he hates me...... I know that. ”

In the first words, your military aircraft and national politics have a bit of the intention of being a shopkeeper, but the words in the back are like a dying old man's own muttering, chattering.

Liu Chengfeng and Zhu Houzhao said goodbye together, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be in a very bad mood, he was rarely full of worries, and he kept silent.

Liu Chengfeng asked, "What is the prince thinking?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "I ...... The palace doesn't know what to do, in the past, there was a father to worry about everything, and the palace always thought that the palace was already big, and it could do things. But now that my father is like this, the palace doesn't know how to do things. ”

Liu Chengfeng patted Zhu Houzhao's shoulder very presumptuously, and said in a heavy tone: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and now the emperor is critically ill, but he is not at ease, the prince at this time, as a son of man, needs to make a show and let the emperor take a look." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Houzhao nodded heavily, only then did he regain some of his brilliance, at this time the sky was dark, the sun was setting, a royal trial, actually lasted a whole day, the glow of Wandao sprinkled down, fell on the glazed tiles, fell on the red palace wall, fell on the sparkling moat, fell on the ancient masonry, and also fell on the faces of Liu Chengfeng and Zhu Houzhao, under the last afterglow, Liu Chengfeng and Zhu Houzhao stood side by side, talking in a low voice, pacing slowly, their direction was even unknown, until they crossed the Jinshui Bridge, In the sound of running water under his feet, Zhu Houzhao realized that he was obviously going in the wrong direction, and the East Palace was not in this position.
