Nineteen, suspicious

"What? Opened a peony with a big bowl outside the South Third Institute? Okay, I'm interested, so why don't I go with you. Zhu Jianshen replied with a smile.

Gu Leng smiled and said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, the emperor must have seen a lot of excellent peonies, but I heard that white peonies with a big bowl mouth like this are very rare. It was when Wu Zetian feasted the ministers in Luoyang that such a peony was opened to celebrate the prosperity of the heroine. ”

"What did you say?" Zhu Jianshen raised his head and looked at Gu Lengyi.

When Gu Lengyi saw Zhu Jianshen looking at him, he was immediately stupid, and hurriedly knelt down and said to him: "The emperor, please forgive me, the emperor please forgive me, I talked nonsense, don't take it to heart." The slave doesn't understand anything, it's just telling the truth, if there is something that offends the emperor, please forgive the minion. ”

Zhu Jianshen saw his pitiful appearance, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I don't know you like this bastard anymore, I hope you pay attention to what you say and don't talk nonsense." If you are heard by others, do you think others will spare you, a dog minion? ”

Gu Lengyi was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, the slave knows that he is wrong." ”

In fact, Zhu Jianshen now feels very uncomfortable in his heart, Gu Lengyi's words just now must have made him feel very uncomfortable in his heart, what is the heroine of the world, what is the white peony open, Wu Zetian is prosperous, what does this mean? He remembered the recent incident of asking Jian Huaizhen to send someone to protect him, but Jian Huaizhen refused to protect himself, and felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.

He and Gu Lengyi were already about to walk to Nanyuan at this time, but finally shook their heads and said to Gu Lengyi: "Forget it, I don't want to go to Nanyuan now, let's go back." There must be nothing to see in Nanyuan. ”

After hearing him say this, Gu Leng observed his words and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." So Gu Lengyi prepared to go back with Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Jianshen thought about things carefully, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a good feeling in his heart, and Gu Lengyi looked at him from the side, he didn't dare to breathe, and he didn't dare to say a word.

The more he looked at Gu Lengyi, the more he felt bored, so he said to him: "Forget it, don't follow me as a dog slave, I feel very uncomfortable now, and I don't want to see you." ”

"But, Your Majesty, the minions really want to follow the Emperor." He raised his head, looked at Zhu Jianshen and continued: "If the emperor doesn't want to see the bowl of big white peonies just now, then it is better to let the servants accompany the emperor to see other novelties." The slave no longer dares to talk nonsense, saying that the heroine is in the world. ”

It's okay if he doesn't say this, but as soon as he says this, Zhu Jianshen won't fight anywhere.

Zhu Jianshen raised his foot, kicked him far away, and said to him: "Okay, you dog minion, get out of here." ”

Gu Lengyi has been following Zhu Jianshen for a long time, and naturally understands what kind of character Zhu Jianshen is, seeing Zhu Jianshen like this, he naturally knows that Zhu Jianshen is very angry, so he had to look at Zhu Jianshen and said, "Yes." After saying that, he got up and walked away.

When he left, Zhu Jianshen was very angry, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, it was really angry to say this.

What is the heroine of the world?

Zhu Jianshen thought about the whole thing carefully, the more he thought about it, the more upset he felt, now the North Korean side didn't know how to explain to the envoy, and on this side he had a little unpleasant trouble with Jian Huaizhen, Jian Huaizhen refused to help him, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would be in danger.

In short, all kinds of troubles came together, and he didn't know what to do.

When he was walking around aimlessly, he suddenly saw the white peony that Gu Lengyi said, the white peony was really blooming magnificently, and the big flowers at the mouth of the bowl were particularly moving.

He stepped forward, didn't think about it, raised his foot and kicked the white peony heavily, after kicking, he still felt angry, and stepped on the white peony hard, although he was a generation of emperors, he did this thing is really like a child.

When he was dealing with the white peony, he suddenly felt the cold light, as if someone had come to his side, and there was a sparse sound behind him, at that moment, he suddenly had an inexplicable idea in his heart, he thought of Li Chengyu in the midst of thousands of troops, and was taken by someone, so he involuntarily avoided the side, at this time he pounced, and his body fell to the ground.

Then when he looked up, he saw a man with a sword, standing proudly in front of him.

That person really wanted to assassinate him just now, if he hadn't turned around quickly, maybe he would have been killed by that person by now, and that person now looked at him lying on the ground, and his face under the black veil could not be seen at all.

He looked at Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Jianshen could feel the sneer under his veil, Zhu Jianshen didn't know who that person was, let alone why he suddenly came to assassinate him, but there was one thing, that is, what he predicted to appear in Li Chengyu appeared in himself now.

He was terrified for a moment, looked at the man, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man smiled and said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter who I am now, and what I want to do is to take your life from the Emperor, I guess the Emperor is clear, hahahahaha." At this, he laughed.

Zhu Jianshen was taken aback by his appearance, Zhu Jianshen was stunned, pointed at him, and said to him: "Don't mess around, if you dare to mess around, you will definitely not be able to escape from the palace." ”

"Can't escape the palace? Your Majesty, why didn't you expect me to be from the palace? He looked at Zhu Jianshen with a smile, and he was not afraid at all when he spoke.

"Someone in the palace?" Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment.

In fact, today Zhu Jianshen wanted to scream and call the guards to come to help, but in this situation, there was no way at all, this should not be blamed on others, if it was to blame, it would be blamed on Zhu Jianshen, because Zhu Jianshen had always hated Zhu Jianchen, and this South Three Institute was the place where Zhu Jianchen was imprisoned, so Zhu Jianshen deliberately arranged only a few guards here.

Now that he came to Nansansuo by mistake, he met an assassin here, and he might die here, how could he not be afraid?

He couldn't help but regret his approach at this time, if he hadn't been mean to Zhu Jianchen and hadn't installed fewer guards here, how could he have fallen to such a point?

He hesitated for a long time before pointing at the assassin and saying, "What do you really want?" I'll give it all to you, as long as you can spare me. ”

"Your Majesty, don't be joking, since I took such a big risk in order to kill you, what do you say I want? Of course I don't want anything anymore, I just want your life, hahaha. He screamed as he spoke.

Zhu Jianshen felt that he was simply suffocated, and he couldn't say a word for a moment, since this is the case, is this person deliberately trying to harm himself?

And he had no way to deal with him, Zhu Jianshen hesitated for a long time, and finally there was really no way, so he slowly closed his eyes.

Zhu Jianshen meant to say, if you want to kill me, then kill me if you want to, what else can you do except let that assassin do it if he wants?

Zhu Jianshen is so hateful now, why did he kick Gu Lengyi away just now, why did he want to walk around alone just now? In short, he now wants to die, and this person will not give him a way to live, that person's long sword is about to reach Zhu Jianshen, and Zhu Jianshen closes his eyes.

And at this time, only heard a sound of ah, Zhu Jianshen was slightly stunned, and when he looked up, he saw that the man in black was stunned for a moment and left, and there was a person in front of him, who was moaning on the ground, obviously the assassin wanted to assassinate him just now, but he was blocked by that person.

Zhu Jianshen was very surprised when he saw this situation, looked up, and found that the person was not someone else, but Zhu Jianchen.

"Is that you?" Zhu Jianshen looked at him, and was so surprised for a moment that he didn't know what to say.

Yes, Nansansuo was supposed to be Zhu Jianchen's place, but the relationship between Zhu Jianchen and Zhu Jianshen's brothers has deteriorated to the point of no return, especially Zhu Jianshen, who can't wait to kill Zhu Jianchen and then hurry up, why is it now that Zhu Jianchen came out to help Zhu Jianshen block this sword?

Zhu Jianchen's arm was stabbed, he raised his head, looked at Zhu Jianshen, hesitated, but still walked in front of him and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

Zhu Jianshen felt very surprised, but he escaped the hardship after nine deaths, and asked, "What happened just now?" ”

Zhu Jianchen said: "Just now I was about to go out for a walk, to see the big white peony flower, who knew that I saw an assassin preparing to assassinate the emperor." The emperor is the Ninety-Five, I can't see the emperor's life threatened anyway, so I stepped forward to save the emperor, at this time the assassin was already ready to assassinate the emperor, there was no way, I had to help the emperor block this sword. Luckily, the Assassin's sword just now only stabbed me in the arm, otherwise it would have been terrible. ”

Zhu Jianshen saw that his arm was still bleeding, so he shouted loudly: "Someone, someone." "After shouting for a long time, someone came.

Zhu Jianshen hurriedly ordered to pass the imperial doctor, so someone hurriedly went to the imperial doctor, Zhu Jianshen looked at Zhu Jianchen's appearance, couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and said to him: "Are you okay?" ”

Zhu Jianchen shook his head and said, "Brother Chen's fine." ”

Zhu Jianshen looked at his arm, as if he was seriously injured, and said to him, "There won't be any major problems with your arm, right?" ”

"Of course not, even if it does, it's just an arm. The younger brother can save the emperor, and he can be regarded as doing something worthy of himself and the conscience of heaven and earth. ”

After hearing him say this, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but feel very ashamed, all along, Zhu Jianshen has not been very good to Zhu Jianchen, but Zhu Jianchen is so willing to help Zhu Jianshen, how can he be embarrassed?

He looked at Zhu Jianchen, hesitated, and said to him: "I'm sorry, in short, I didn't do it right in this matter, and I shouldn't have done this to you all along." ”

"Don't say that, you'll see the outside world when you say this, Your Majesty, the two of us were originally brothers, right? Why should brothers bother with this? ”

Hearing Zhu Jianchen say this, Zhu Jianshen buried his head down, all along, he regarded Zhu Jianchen as a threat to his throne, and he didn't treat him as anything else at all, let alone a brother, and he really regarded himself as a brother, when something went wrong, he came out desperately to block it for himself, if it wasn't for Zhu Jianchen just now, the person who died must have been Zhu Jianshen.

It was precisely because of Zhu Jianchen's hard work that Zhu Jianshen was lucky enough to leave this life, compared to Zhu Jianchen, how bad he was.

King Jing Zhu Jianchen was lying on the bed, Zhu Jianshen looked at him, his eyes were full of concern, and he asked repeatedly, "Why are you willing to save me?" ”

Zhu Jianchen looked at Zhu Jianshen, his body trembled slightly, and then he used all his strength and said to him: "Your Majesty, you are the Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the emperor of a country, if the courtier's brother does not save you, the courtier's brother will be disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust." Although the younger brother believes in Buddhism, such a simple truth is still understood, that is, loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. ”

Hearing the words loyal and patriotic, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but be moved, all along, Zhu Jianshen was afraid that Zhu Jianchen would plot to usurp the throne, and suppressed him as much as possible, but he didn't expect that Zhu Jianchen not only blamed himself, but still had such thoughts, which made him feel very strange. But after the strangeness, the most is moving.

He had wanted Jian Huaizhen to send someone to protect him before, but he didn't expect that Jian Huaizhen would not agree, and the result was as he expected, the killer assassinated him in the palace, fortunately, he was blessed with a great life, otherwise he would have died.

Thinking of this, he felt very dissatisfied in his heart.

Zhu Jianchen saw that Zhu Jianshen's face was cloudy and sunny for a while, so he said to him slowly and sincerely: "Your Majesty, the courtiers know that when they say these words, maybe the emperor doesn't like to hear them, but every word of the courtiers is heartfelt. The younger brother and the emperor have always been brothers of the same mother, and the relationship between the two of us is incomparable to others, what is closer in the world than biological brothers? The two of us are brothers of the same father, and there is no way for others to compare with each other. What else can there be under the sky? ”

After hearing his words, Zhu Jianshen was also very moved by what he said, Zhu Jianshen thought for a long time before slowly asking him: "Don't you blame me for taking your family's country?" ”

"Why did the emperor say that? Jiangshan can't be said to be my family's, or the emperor's family. Originally, the emperor and I were both surnamed Zhu, isn't my family's country the emperor's country? Besides, I love Buddhism by nature, and I don't know anything about governing the country, if the emperor really asks me to be the emperor, then it will definitely cause chaos in the world and the people will not be able to make a living. And the emperor is different, you are a genius, since God has arranged it this way, he must also have his meaning. The so-called Buddhism is boundless, and looking back is the shore, I just want to make good of my Buddhism now, and I have nothing else to think about. Speaking of this, he added: "Amitabha." ”

Hearing his words like an old monk entering the meditation, Zhu Jianshen finally felt a little relieved, in fact, Zhu Jianshen was not very relieved, so after coming to see him, he couldn't forget to test him, but what he said was really in line with Zhu Jianshen's mind.

After Zhu Jianshen listened, he quickly relaxed his vigilance against him, but instead had a grudge against Jian Huaizhen in his heart, he remembered that Jian Huaizhen refused to send someone to protect him, he couldn't help but sigh, and said: "Yes, you are right, you will not leave your brother to death, the closest one is always your own brother, and others are unreliable." ”

"Why would the emperor say that? Why? ”

Hearing Zhu Jianchen's inquiry, Zhu Jianshen said coldly: "I knew before that someone was going to assassinate me, so I specially went to implore the eldest princess and begged the eldest princess to send someone to protect me." You also know that the eldest princess has so many friends in the rivers and lakes, so naturally she can protect me, who knows that she rejected me without even thinking about it. I never knew what was going on in her heart, but I knew that in her mind, my life didn't matter. ”

After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Zhu Jianchen thought about it, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you don't have to think so, maybe the eldest princess cares about the emperor very much, but she hasn't figured out how to help the emperor yet." ”

"What's going on to figure out how to help me? As long as I can send a master to protect me, wouldn't I be in no danger at all? I don't need to hurt you to help me with this knife. I really don't know what the eldest princess has in mind, I originally thought that what she was thinking was to let you replace me, but now it seems that she may not think so. If you really had this intention, you wouldn't have saved me. ”

After Zhu Jianchen heard Zhu Jianshen say this, he sighed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the younger brother can swear to the emperor, and the younger brother has never met the eldest princess alone." Only the eldest princess once took pity on her brother, and she came to ask about her brother's life about a year ago, but there was never any news. The younger brother is loyal to the emperor no matter when and where, if anyone wants to do something unfavorable to the emperor, the younger brother will definitely not let him go so easily. Although the younger brother is a Buddhist scholar, he knows the saying that blood is thicker than water, not to mention that in this deep palace, the younger brother has no relatives, and the closest one is the emperor. ”

After hearing his words, Zhu Jianshen felt a lot of comfort, Zhu Jianshen thought to himself, he really shouldn't have treated Zhu Jianchen like this before, in fact, when the disaster came, it was his brother who had treated him badly before.

The two of them were talking, when suddenly a little eunuch outside shouted, "The eldest princess has arrived." ”

Hearing that Jian Huaizhen was coming, the expression on Zhu Jianshen's face suddenly became ugly, and he ordered to go down and say, "Let's just say that King Jing needs to rest now, and he can't see anyone, let the eldest princess go back." ”

Before he finished speaking, Jian Huaizhen had already walked to the door and said, "It turns out that the emperor is also here." ”

Zhu Jianshen saw that Jian Huaizhen had already walked in, and he couldn't say anything, so he had to reluctantly get up and say, "Princess, why are you here too?" ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded slightly and said, "This palace heard that King Jing was injured, so he came over to take a look. ”

Zhu Jianchen added: "There is the eldest princess of Emperor Lao coming over." ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and asked, "What's going on?" How is King Jing injured now? ”

Zhu Jianshen said quietly: "Actually, this matter is very simple to say, that is, someone wants to deal with me, and it happened to be seen by King Jing, so King Jing desperately blocked a knife for me." As a result, I was fine, but he was seriously injured, but fortunately there was no fear for his life, otherwise, I don't know how to deal with it. Come to think of it, King Jing also made such a fuss for me, and I have said again and again that someone has to find a way to deal with me. At this point, he stopped looking at Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen is so smart, she can see at a glance that the emperor must have a grudge against her, that's why she is like this, she knows that no matter how she explains it now, it is useless, she explains, Zhu Jianshen will definitely not listen to it, but will be more and more black.

So I had to sigh and say, "Okay, no matter what, the palace is now seeing that King Jing's injury is not very serious, and the emperor is fine, it is finally blessed by the ancestors." Your Majesty, why don't we leave first and let King Jing have a good rest. ”

"I still want to chat with the imperial brother for a while, the eldest princess, you better rest first." After speaking, Zhu Jianshen shouted loudly: "Come on, send the eldest princess back to the palace." So a eunuch came forward to ask Jian Huaizhen to leave.

When Jian Huaizhen saw this situation, he sighed for a while, but he didn't know what to do. Since the matter had come to this point, and there was no other way to solve it, she nodded and said, "That's fine, you don't talk for too long." After speaking, Jian Huaizhen turned around and left.

Jian Huaizhen originally wanted to ask, what was going on with Zhu Jianshen's assassination, wasn't King Jing in Nansansu, why did he help Zhu Jianshen block a knife?

These things seemed to be very simple, but in fact there was always a strange meaning, but in this case she knew that it was useless to ask anything, so she left first.

After she left, Zhu Jianshen and Zhu Jianchen chatted for a while before Zhu Jianshen said goodbye and left.

Now, in Zhu Jianshen's mind, the most trusted person is Zhu Jianchen, he feels that Zhu Jianchen is really his good brother, in short, he is the person who can help him, and when Zhu Jianchen gets better, he will definitely treat Zhu Jianchen well, and he will never do anything unkind to him again.

Jian Huaizhen returned to the palace, her expression was a little confused for a while, no matter what, if this kind of thing happened, she would inevitably feel very uncomfortable.

Ling Luo stepped forward and asked, "Imperial Princess, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "I'm fine, the palace went to visit the emperor today, and the emperor seems to have had a serious misunderstanding of the palace." In fact, this matter is also caused by the palace, the emperor once asked the palace to send someone to find someone to protect him, but the palace felt that it was not so easy for outsiders to come in this deep palace, so he did not ask someone to protect him. As a result, what happened to the emperor now, but it became the fault of the palace. ”

"What the eldest princess said is right, this palace is heavily controlled, and it is not easy for people from outside to come in. Scattered remember that when Jiang Gongzi and Fang Daxia came in, it took a lot of effort to rescue people, how could ordinary thieves come in so easily? Of course, if it is the person inside, who is originally the person inside, then it is understandable. ”

After hearing Zero Luo say this, Jian Huaizhen's heart moved, and he asked, "Zero Luo, what did you just say?" ”

"Huh? Princess, which sentence are you asking? Zero was stunned for a moment and said.

Jian Huaizhen asked her to repeat what she had just said, and after repeating it piecemeal, Jian Huaizhen suddenly seemed to think of something, and said in a loud voice: "I finally understand, I finally understand, this palace finally understands." ”

"Princess, what do you understand? Scattered don't understand. Zero Luo turned his face to look at Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said to her: "This palace finally understands why someone can assassinate the emperor. If Bengong's guess is correct, that person was originally from the palace, and maybe he was bribed, so he did this. Fortunately, King Jing appeared by the emperor's side and saved the emperor, otherwise, things would be really unimaginable. This palace has ignored this layer. ”

After hearing her say this, Ling Luo nodded and said, "Eldest Princess, what you said is very reasonable. Yes, the palace is heavily guarded, so how easy is it for ordinary people to get in? Only the people in the palace can come and go freely, if not the eunuchs, then the Ouchi guards. ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded, and said, "Now if I want to find out about this matter, I can have an idea." That is, hurry up and find out, what kind of Ouchi guards have suddenly encountered an accident now. In short, this person is simply condemnable for doing these things. ”

"Yes, assassinating the emperor is originally his heart to be punished, how can he do this?" Scattered said angrily.

Jian Huaizhen shook his head indifferently and said, "Scattered, the truth is not as simple as you think. Although the assassination of the emperor is an unforgivable crime, the ambition of the wolf son in it is far more than just assassinating the emperor. ”

"What?" Zero Luo raised his face, looked at Jian Huaizhen, shook his head and said, "Princess, then Zero Luo doesn't know what you mean by this." Why is the assassination of the emperor not considered his heart to be punished, but there is something else, more serious than the assassination of the emperor? The emperor is your own grandson, the meat on the tip of your heart. ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled and said: "Now North Korea and my Ming Dynasty are in trouble, and there are many misunderstandings with our dynasty. The emperor was wholeheartedly afraid that the Empress Dowager Yao would send someone to assassinate him, but according to what the palace saw, the Empress Dowager Yao had lived in North Korea for a long time, and it was still difficult to install someone in the palace as a guard in the palace, or to buy a person with strong martial arts to assassinate the emperor. So according to what I saw in this palace, someone did it on purpose. ”

"Is someone deliberately pretending to be an assassin in order to provoke a dispute between my Ming Dynasty and North Korea?" Zero asked.

"Not bad." Jian Huaizhen's face was heavy, and he nodded and said.

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Ling Luo couldn't help but be stunned, she thought about it, shook her head and said, "Eldest Princess, what you said can't be true, right?" If there is such a person, who is this person? What good will it do him to provoke the dispute between Daming and North Korea? I just can't understand it. ”

Jian Huaizhen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "This palace can't think of anyone who would do this for a while, but the person who did this must have been far-sighted and had already planned it." In any case, the Ming Dynasty must not fall into the hands of outsiders, and the palace and the emperor cannot be separated by others casually. Now that this person has successfully separated the palace and the emperor, I think he will make further moves. ”

"Do you have a suspicious candidate in mind?" Scattered looked at Jian Huaizhen cautiously and said tentatively.

Jian Huaizhen never kept things a secret, so she nodded and said, "Yes, this palace does already have a suspicious candidate." ”
