Chapter 758: Northern Elegy (2)
At the same time that Gonggong Cao arranged for Lu Sheng to leave the palace, Xu Rui, King Yu, King Su and Huang Zhengyuan were all in the palace of King Yu.
Huang Zhengyuan sat far away in the corner, as if he was wandering out of the world, and he didn't know what to think.
King Yu and King Su were waiting at the door, as if they were very worried about the situation outside, but Xu Rui sat at the table and poured himself a drink, drinking King Yu's good tea.
"Brother Xu, I just received the news, there is already a storm outside, what is your intention by pressing us all in the house?"
King Yu waited for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Xu Rui with a frown.
Xu Rui put down the teacup with a smile, and when he saw that the fire was coming, he stopped selling Guanzi, and said lightly: "Does the prince know that the excitement outside this mansion was specially created by the saint?" ”
"Purpose-built?"
King Yu and King Su were both stunned, looking at Xu Rui suspiciously.
Xu Rui nodded: "With the consistent style of the saint, it is to make the scene as chaotic as possible, so that he can pass on the throne to the prince in his heart in the troubled waters."
Once the new monarch has decided on the position, he will immediately take out all his backhands to wipe out all the people who are hidden under the water on weekdays, and hand over a complete country to the new emperor. ”
The two princes were stunned when they heard this, and when they thought about it carefully, it seemed that Emperor Hongwei had indeed done this in previous turbulent moments, but they didn't expect Xu Rui to see Emperor Hongwei so thoroughly.
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be more likely that our father's suspicion would be aroused in the mansion, so why should we get together instead?"
Yuwang was still not at ease, and asked again.
Xu Rui said with a smile: "Because Your Majesty's holy decree will arrive soon, although there is chaos outside, the Holy Lord will definitely let the new monarch enter the palace in advance to set his name, otherwise all this will be meaningless." ”
"Are you saying that Your Majesty will soon summon this king to the palace?"
King Yu was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Xu Rui nodded lightly, as if everything was taken for granted.
King Yu was sure in his heart, if he could really wait for the announcement of his holy decree to enter the palace, it would be equivalent to saying that Emperor Hongwei had decided to pass on the throne to him, how could he not be extremely excited?
But King Su was still a little puzzled, and asked: "Even so, I don't have to be here together, if I am in the camp of the Northeast Border Army, when the fourth brother decides on the position, I can immediately lead the troops into the city, wouldn't it be safer?" ”
Xu Rui smiled slightly when he heard this, opened his mouth, and was about to explain, when the housekeeper suddenly rushed in.
"Lord, lord, someone is in the palace!"
Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly looked out of the door, only to see the master of ceremonies, Gonggong Li, dressed as a patrol of the forbidden army, and walked in.
"The Holy Lord asked our family to come secretly, and please don't blame the prince and adults!"
Gonggong Li didn't say much, and as soon as he entered the door, he explained a little and unfolded the holy decree.
Seeing this, Xu Rui and the four of them immediately knelt down solemnly to accept the order.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The mandate of heaven has changed, and Zhao Heng, the fourth son of the emperor, will immediately enter the palace to face the saint, and give it to him!"
It is a bit surprising that there is only one sentence for such a fatal decree.
However, at the moment when he heard the holy decree, King Yu was overjoyed, because as soon as the holy decree arrived, it proved that he was indeed the true destiny of heaven, as long as he could enter the palace throne smoothly, he would be the only one.
"The minister takes the order!"
King Yu shouted and hurriedly took the holy decree with both hands.
King Su on the side was also completely relieved, but when he thought that even Gonggong Li had to make up as a forbidden army to pass the decree, he expected that the road to the palace would not be very smooth, and the heart that had just been put down was raised again.
"Fourth brother, you enter the palace quickly, and I will immediately go to the camp outside the city to transfer troops to help you stabilize your position."
Thinking of this, King Su let out a low cry and was about to go to the northeast army camp outside the city.
"Slow!"
Gonggong Li hurriedly stopped King Su and said: "The road to the palace is not very smooth, the saint has already thought of this matter, and has secretly mobilized a section of the northeast border army to enter the city. ”
"Really?"
King Su was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Xu Rui, only to see him smile and pick up the teacup again, as if everything was as he expected.
Only then did King Su understand why Xu Rui would invite him to King Yu's mansion in advance, it turned out that he had already expected that Emperor Hongwei would let King Su, his own brother, be responsible for King Yu's safety.
However, the current situation is tense, and it is difficult for even a confidant to fully trust him, and only his unambitious brother can ensure the safety of the new king, and this arrangement is indeed the safest way.
Thinking of this, King Su had all the doubts in his heart and hurriedly accepted the order.
"Two princes, without further ado, let's enter the palace now, don't let the saint wait in a hurry."
Gonggong Li gave a word to the two princes, then exited the main hall and waited outside the door.
King Yu grabbed Xu Rui's hand, patted the back of his hand heavily and said, "This king has entered the palace, and I will leave the rest to Brother Xu." ”
Xu Rui nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart, and I can't make a mistake." ”
Hearing him say this, King Yu was relieved, in the past few months, although Xu Rui was under his banner, he was assured for the first time today.
"That's good, this king is gone!"
After speaking, King Yu put on a big hat and walked out of the main hall first.
King Su also hugged his fists at Xu Rui and said, "Please, Brother Xu, I'll go first!" ”
As he spoke, King Su was going to chase after King Yu.
"Wait!"
Xu Rui hurriedly called King Su.
King Su paused and said with a smile: "Brother Xu has anything else to instruct?" ”
Xu Rui glanced at King Su deeply and said, "Remember, everything is based on the will of the saint, and try to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness King Yu." ”
King Su said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, no one wants to move a single hair of the fourth brother with me, you just wait for my good news, wait for the fourth brother to set his name, let's go to Wentian Pavilion to drink, don't get drunk and don't return!" ”
After speaking, King Su laughed loudly, turned around and walked out of the main hall.
"If you don't get drunk, you won't return, if you don't get drunk, you won't return......"
Xu Rui looked at the backs of the two princes and muttered in his mouth.
"It's here, where is Master Hou going now?"
After the two princes left, Huang Zhengyuan came to Xu Rui's side and asked in a low voice.
Xu Rui came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Although the two princes have entered the palace, it is not all worry-free, Benhou still has some things to do, if there is no mistake, it can be ensured." ”
When Huang Zhengyuan heard this, he hurriedly said to Xu Rui: "So please ask Master Hou!" ”
Xu Rui nodded: "It's all your own brothers, you don't have to be polite, I won't wait for Benhou to leave." ”
After speaking, Xu Rui hugged his fist at Huang Zhengyuan slightly, and also turned around and went out.
"Hou Ye cherishes!"
Huang Zhengyuan returned the salute to Xu Rui and saw him out of the mansion.
"My lord, what are you going to do now?"
When Huang Zhengyuan was the only one left in the house, the housekeeper of Yuwang Mansion suddenly approached Huang Zhengyuan and asked.
Huang Zhengyuan glanced at the place where Xu Rui disappeared, and muttered two words: "Enter the palace!" ”
