Chapter 560: The Prince Has Fallen

Qiu Fu did not choose the waterway, if it was a large group of people, the waterway speed was faster, but he only brought a dozen guards, then the best choice was the fast horse.

The best horses, all the way to the south, without the slightest delay, just like the march of the year, even if it is a meal, it is just to eat a few cooking cakes on horseback, to the post station, immediately change horses, occasionally take a break, three or four hundred miles a day, sure enough, only five days of effort, and arrived in Jinling.

Such a journey, if it is an ordinary person, even if the whole of North China is a plain, as long as the river is crossed, you can reach the destination, but it is more than a thousand miles apart, without a month's effort, it is impossible to reach, if the same distance is in the Jiangnan and Yunnan-Guichuan places where the waterway is dense and mountainous, even if it is March or May, I am afraid that it may not be able to reach the destination.

And this kind of rush at any cost, five days' effort, is already the limit, and when he reaches the goal, Qiu Fu is almost out of it.

Arrived at Chaoyang Gate, the soldier guarding the door saw a team of cavalry coming in the dust, and was waiting to stop the investigation, but the other party didn't pay attention to it at all, but rode straight over, the soldier was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he only felt that his side was swishing past a healthy horse, and before he could open his mouth to scold, a whip was slammed on his head, and the voice was already far away: "Dog thing, blind eyes, the big driver of the Zuo Dudu, dare to stop it." ”

Qiu Fu's sudden arrival was like an earthquake, and it immediately spread in the city of Nanjing.

This kind of news always spreads the fastest, and Qiu Fu arrived at the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies as soon as possible, and then negotiated with Zhu Neng for a stick of incense. Immediately after that, a group of military attachés arrived, these military attachés. Usually they are Qiu Fu's old subordinates, but whenever there are officials and soldiers, there will be mountains, in other words, these people are the backbone of Qiu Fu's mountains.

Qiu Fu didn't have a pleasant face towards them, and directly reprimanded them, and couldn't raise his head for these scoldings. said that they are usually used to slacking off, and the corpse is vegetarian, if they dare to perfunctory errands again. Immediately dismissed from his post and dealt with, and then it is strange that he has to show kindness.

These people naturally said yes obediently, and they didn't dare to come out one by one, and they were reprimanded. And he immediately left.

Immediately after that, other generals came to pay their respects. For these 'outsiders', such as Zhang Furen, etc., Qiu Fu's attitude was amiable, and after reading out His Majesty's decree to control the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and control the Gyeonggi military horses, he urged them to take precautions and not to make any mistakes.

These are every move. Of course, it has already reached the cabinet, and it has also reached the East Palace.

The cabinet has shaken. Xie Jin sat in the duty room, as usual, he seemed extremely calm, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, the others naturally felt a little more at ease and did not mention their respective offices.

But not long after, a eunuch suddenly came to the cabinet, and this eunuch was naturally very polite, and just asked: "Hanlin is waiting for Chen Feng to be there?" ”

In the cabinet, although there are many ministers, but many holy decrees are drafted, and the ministers may not be free, so it is inevitable that a few Hanlin will be on standby here, which is the so-called waiting edict, in fact, this kind of Hanlin is not only expensive, but also most, the luck is not too bad, and it is generally cultivated as the successor of the cabinet minister.

Chen Bianxiu is one of them, although he is young, but he has a bright future, and now he stays in the cabinet every day, in fact, he has nothing to do, just to help the ministers do some miscellaneous things such as polishing their pens.

Hearing that a eunuch was looking for him, Chen Bianxiu was a little strange, and couldn't help but come out, and said to the eunuch: "I don't know what my father-in-law is asking about." ”

The eunuch still smiled and said, "Your Excellency will know when you leave the cabinet." ”

Chen Feng felt strange and a little unwilling, so he couldn't help but look at the cabinet ministers in a few public houses, and saw that there was no movement over there, so he had to say, "Okay." ”

As soon as Chen Feng went out, there were a few burly Han generals waiting outside, and the eunuch's eyes were sharp, and he shouted: "Your Majesty has a purpose, edit Chen Feng, and have a loss of virtue, how can you live in the temple, come, take it, and hand it over to Dali Temple to investigate." ”

After hearing this, several Han generals had already made preparations, one grabbed him, the other took off his black yarn, and several other people pushed and shoved, Chen Feng was naturally unconvinced, and shouted: "What crime do I have, how can you do this?" ”

Syllable......

A slap was slapped directly in his face.

The eunuch said suspiciously: "Take away ......"

A slap had already beaten Chen Feng into a malaise, where was there still the power to resist.

There was such a big movement outside, no one in the cabinet could hear it, even Xie Jin, he heard it clearly, he was still indifferent, just the hand holding the pen, trembling slightly, and in those eyes, there was a trace of fear.

The words 'verify by the household department and then make a decision' should have been drafted in the note, but the pen was crooked, and it was written for further consideration......

Outside the cabinet, there was a strong wind, the wind was fierce, and it came with dark clouds, and the sky suddenly darkened.

The cabinet was quiet, and the needles could be heard, and even the occasional coughing was silent.

Xie Jin picked up another note, held his hand and moved to the oil lamp to look, the oil lamp was rising, and his pretended calm face was a little more dizzy. looked at Song Shu's gaze, but it was also as dark as the sky outside.

East Palace.

Zhu Gaochi had already gotten the news, he was holding the teacup, but the teacup was trembling slightly, he barely took a bite, he couldn't taste it, he just sat quietly and didn't move.

"Your Highness, the Holy Order has come."

Zhu Gaochi was convinced, just nodded slightly, and got up from his seat.

Here in the East Palace, the middle door was opened, the incense case was set up, and the eunuch who had already passed the decree came, and the eunuch was still polite to the prince, first stepped forward to salute, but Zhu Gaochi did not dare to accept it, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and immediately bowed to the ground, and said: "Son-in-law Zhu Gaochi, wait for the holy decree." ”

The eunuch was bored, but he was not in a hurry, he went to open the holy decree and read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: The crown prince Zhu Gaochi has been instructed to supervise the country, and he has always been diligent, and I know his filial piety.................. I am in the world, that is, the world of Er, and now you are sick, but the state affairs cannot be left without an owner for a day, and the military and political affairs of the Beijing Division are still entrusted to you......"

The eunuch pronounced this 'grace' word by word.

The first of the 'Grace Decree' is the care for the prince, just like an ordinary father, caring for his son, as for the back, it is to explain the benefits and disadvantages, suing Zhu Gaochi that state affairs are important, although he is not in good health, he cannot entrust others with the affairs of the state, and he must continue to supervise the country.

Such a grace would be fine if it were an ordinary time. But now......

Zhu Gaochi's fat body kneeling on the ground trembled slightly, and then tears blurred, and when he heard the world, his arms supporting his body began to be a little weak and uncontrollable, his face was already as pale as paper, and sweat was like rain.

"Your Highness...... Your Highness ......"

The eunuch finished reading, but saw that Zhu Gaochi's whole person almost withered, and couldn't help but call in a low voice.

Only then did Zhu Gaochi come back to his senses, raised his head, his face was purple, and then he stood up and smiled reluctantly: "Erchen...... The sons thanked the father for his kindness, and the father treated the sons and ministers, and the kindness was like a mountain...... There is no way to repay the grace of nurturing, only to break your bones and share the worries of your father......"

He took the decree and sent away the eunuch who carried the decree, and as soon as the eunuch left, the whole person staggered.

The internal officials of the East Palace didn't see it well, so they quickly went up and hugged Zhu Gaochi, and several people helped Zhu Gaochi to the dormitory to rest.

When the holy grandson Zhu Zhanji heard the news, he hurriedly came, and when he saw Zhu Gaochi on the sickbed, he knew that his father was really sick after just a glance...... Why is that, why is it so...... ...... in the Divine Decree"

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand weakly, retreated left and right, looked at Zhu Zhanji deeply, and said, "Father and son are suspicious of each other to this point, to this point...... Father...... Father...... My heart is cold for my father, and my heart is cold. Jankey, Jankey...... Thou shalt come to sue thee for the Father, and thou shalt give thee an account, henceforth...... This is from now on...... The days of being a father are not easy...... It can't last long, it can't last long...... Ay...... How did you get to this situation, how did you get to this situation, Zhan Ji...... In the future, study in the East Palace with peace of mind, don't go out, don't make friends with the ministers again, except for a few masters who teach, don't see anyone, and from then on, the East Palace will cut off its relationship with the outside...... Something is going to happen...... Something is going to happen...... You wait and see...... Father and son...... Father and son...... Our surname is Zhu, where will there be any father and son......"

Seeing his father's incoherent speech, Zhu Zhanji hurriedly grabbed Zhu Gaochi's hand and said, "Things are not so bad...... It's not that bad yet...... His Majesty is just deceived by the villain, and sooner or later he will repent. ”
