Chapter 313: Quid pro quo (II)

The Second Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Yuanshan and Zhu Zimo, father and son, on the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, did not succeed in designing the true king Zhu Xi, and were reprimanded by the second prince.

"Didn't you tell this prince that everything is foolproof? How did it come to this? The second prince, Zhao Hongpu, was very angry.

"Back to the second prince, Weichen doesn't know what went wrong in the middle. Everything was arranged, but something went wrong. Long live Weichen" Zhu Yuanshan also looked angry, but in the face of the anger of the second prince, he didn't dare to get angry, and he had to explain carefully.

Zhu Zimo was on the side, still thinking about the case of Imperial Doctor Wen. It was foolproof, but I didn't expect that it would still make people change the pulse of Imperial Doctor Wen.

And the person who changed the pulse, don't think about it, it must be the real king Zhu Xi.

"Second prince, Wei Chen has been thinking about it, and he still suspects that someone changed the pulse of Imperial Doctor Wen."

Zhu Zimo's words made the second prince Zhao Hongpu look at him like an idiot, "Do you think this prince is an idiot?" Today's events, can't this prince see it? Don't be suspicious now, just evidence. Originally, the emperor was asked to send the true king to deal with the plague in Bazhong, so that the prince could deploy in advance and kill the true king Zhu Xi in Bashu. As long as the true king dies, the royalists in the court will only be left with those old guys, and there is nothing to fear."

Zhao Hongpu watched Zhu Yuanshan's father and son's heads getting lower and lower, knowing that they had consciously messed up their errand, but he still continued, "Such a good opportunity today has allowed the true king to escape without danger. If you want him to go to Bazhong obediently, it will only become more and more difficult. ”

"The second prince is a micro-minister to take lightly. I thought that the true king had just returned to Beijing and was unprepared, but today in the main hall, it is obvious that the true king has already known about the plague in Bazhong, and he has also taken precautions, so we can return home," Zhu Zimo said.

"Zhu Shaoqing has finally come back to his senses now? On the top of the main hall just now, Shaoqing was not too abnormal. It is very different from Zhu Shaoqing's calmness, self-control, calmness and courage in the past. ”

The words of the second prince, Zhao Hongpu, made Zhu Zimo's heart tremble.

Zhu Zimo looked up at the second prince and saw the inquiry in the other party's eyes.

"Second prince, this is a mistake by our father and son, but please rest assured that the second prince will definitely let the second prince get his wish"

"That's good"

Imperial Palace, inside the Qianqing Palace.

The true king Zhu Xi was left behind by the emperor, and obviously there were some things that could not be said to outsiders to tell the true king.

Zhu Xi waited in the temple until the time of the child.

The emperor changed into an apricot-colored pajama, wore his hair loose, and sat on the dragon chair.

"True King, until I left you for, is it for what?"

"I don't know"

"The matter of Bazhong, I want you to go," the emperor said straight to the point.

Zhu Xi had already guessed, but he didn't answer immediately.

"You don't want to?" The emperor said with a cold face.

Zhu Xi saw that the emperor's face had changed, and he didn't take it to heart, "The minister doesn't dare." It's just that there are quid pro quo."

"You're negotiating terms with me?" Zhao Pound was not angry and arrogant, his eyes were indifferent, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that Hunuhachi in the north has uprooted the power of his younger brother Yelu Xiongqi from the grassland, and although he is now recuperating, as long as he is given one to two years, he and Nuhachi will definitely make a comeback. Realize the unification of the steppe, eradicate the dissidents and Nuhachi will be even stronger"

Zhu Xi ignored the emperor's anger, and instead mentioned He Nuhachi.

How could the emperor not know the purpose of the true king, and Zhao Pang De knew that he and Nuhachi were a threat to his regime. But the plague in Bazhong, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and not a single useful person could be found. If the plague in Pakistan and China is not resolved as soon as possible, there will definitely be a big problem.

The emperor thought about it again and again in his heart, and the true king waited quietly, and finally waited until the emperor opened his mouth and said, "True king, then let's talk about your conditions."

Zhu Xi saw that the emperor's attitude was gentle, so he lowered his head and smiled.

The True King and the Emperor talked in the middle of the night, and finally reached an agreement.

"The emperor's golden mouth and jade words, Weichen naturally went to the soup and fire, and he never gave up"

"True king, I depend on you."

When the true king returned home from the palace, it was almost four watches. At five or three o'clock, he will go to court. Therefore, the true king could only hurry back to the house, change his clothes, and immediately go to court.

And when Zhu Xi returned to Wentao Garden, he happened to see Song Yi in the courtyard.

Zhu Xi didn't know if Song Yi had just woken up or hadn't slept all night.

So, Zhu Xi walked over to Song Yi, "Why are you here?" ”

Song Yi was in a daze, thinking about today's daytime, but was suddenly startled by Zhu Xi's questioning.

"Lord, did you just come back?"

"Or do you think this king is sleepwalking?" Zhu Xi smiled and sat on the wooden bench beside Song Yi.

"Has the emperor kept you until now?" Song Yi looked at the exhaustion on the face of the real king, and felt a little distressed, so he naturally stood up and came to the back of the real king.

Zhu Xi was very alert, and when he noticed that someone was behind him, his whole body tensed.

Song Yi knew that his vigilance was too heavy, so he whispered, "It's me, I'll massage it for you"

Song Yi's words made Zhu Xi couldn't help but turn around, just in time to see the woman covering her mouth with her hands, haggling, he knew that this was a woman who was afraid that her hands would be cold.

Seeing this, Zhu Xi turned his back to the woman, and although his eyes were closed, his back was still straight.

Song Yi felt that his hands were already warm, so he learned the techniques of modern massage parlors and massaged and relaxed for men.

Zhu Xi felt the woman's warm and fragrant hand, and gently and rhythmically pressed his acupoint.

Wisps of warm current moistened Zhu Xi's cold heart, making Zhu Xi snort comfortably.

Song Yi saw that the man was so comfortable, so he massaged harder.

Song Yi is still very confident in her massage techniques, after all, she once found videos on the Internet for her grandfather to teach herself.

Zhu Xi closed his eyes, and Song Yi couldn't see the expression on his face behind his back, so he didn't know if he was asleep.

Just when Song Yi was about to stop, he heard the true king say, "If I go to the court today, the emperor will order me to go to Bazhong."

"What?" Song Yi exclaimed excitedly.

"Didn't you tell me that the emperor wouldn't let you go to such a dangerous place?" Song Yi looked angry, came to the front of the man, and looked at the other party.

Zhu Xi knew why the woman was so excited, after all, the situation in Bazhong was not optimistic now, and whoever went there might not be able to come back.

Moreover, under the plague, fear and the desire to survive can make people lose their minds, and there is room for rumors and violence to breed. Without going to the local area, Song Yi could imagine that Bazhong must be very chaotic, and perhaps it was on the verge of an outbreak and uprising.

If the true king goes to Bazhong alone at this time, not to mention that he has no experience in dealing with the plague at all, even if he really encounters a riot, even if he is strong in martial arts, he will not be able to suppress the ground snake, and it will be very dangerous.

That's why Song Yi is so nervous. It was not until this moment that Song Yi understood that she couldn't sleep all night today, not because of her timidity in her hometown, nor because she was nervous and insomnia when she returned to the True King's Mansion, but because she was worried about the True King and that the emperor would let the True King go to Bazhong.

But who would have thought that what should have come has come.

"Then I'll go with you," Song Yi blurted out.
