Chen Yuan followed behind a eunuch, and the two of them turned around Zhu Ge and bypassed Qihu. After a while, I came to a temple with two eaves on the top of a mountain.

The palace of the king of Han is very magnificent, although it is in a small Le'an, but it seems that it is not far behind the palace, which shows the ambition of the king of Han. However, the king of Han likes martial arts, and when he passes by, he is mostly on duty in the martial arts arena and burly Han, and beautiful palace maids are rare, which is in stark contrast to the imperial palace.

In front of the palace gate, a mountain stone is towering, the left and right sides are surrounded by clear water, and a small bridge is erected for each, just like two dragons playing with pearls. They don't enter the temple, they go straight, there are landscapes, flowers and trees, and they are scattered.

Chen Yuan followed his father-in-law to board the small bridge, crossed the small bridge, and the two bridges merged into a portal, and after this gate, it was the "Changchun Palace". Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, recuperated here.

The father-in-law led Chen Yuan into the Changchun Palace, which is extremely spacious, and the interior uses the board wall, the sand cupboard, the curtain and various forms of flower covers, flying covers, and Bogu shelves to separate the space of different sizes, which is not empty, but also graceful. Ceilings, color paintings, plaques, wall collections, calligraphy and paintings, lamps, banners, furnaces, etc. are dotted in the meantime, and the magnificent law is spontaneously born.

The father-in-law reported in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Lord Chen Yuan Chen has arrived. ”

Hula, I heard a sound inside.

Chen Yuan didn't understand what he meant, and his father-in-law bowed his head: "My lord, the prince summoned you in." Then he came to him, lowered his voice and instructed: "The prince is angry, the lord is an official of the court, the person in front of His Majesty, lest the King of Han be sorry for Your Majesty, you speak carefully." ”

This father-in-law was cautious and served the king of Han wholeheartedly. Chen Yuan is a celebrity in Yongle, if he is attacked by the King of Han, it is difficult to explain. However, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, will not care about this, all the courtiers, he can do whatever he wants, otherwise, why should Li Shimin have the support of the military generals of the civil and military forces, and turn defeat into victory in a weak situation.

And the king of Han worked hard and made great achievements, and the military power was in hand, and many feats in the court supported him, but he was defeated again and again at the beginning. is because he doesn't know how to use people, and if he is a little careless, he beats and scolds his courtiers, like Zhu Di, and gradually loses people's hearts.

Chen Yuan nodded, thanked the father-in-law, walked towards the inner hall, as soon as he entered the palace door, before he had time to take a closer look, he took two steps forward, bowed to the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Chen Yuan, I have seen the prince." ”

The system of kings lowers the Son of Heaven to the first level, and the courtiers still belong to the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, even if it is a product of the dynasty, they have to kneel and bow when they see the prince, how can Chen Yuan be an exception. In the two years in the court, he has mastered this set of etiquette, how to salute and how to speak, he has long been familiar with it, and his movements are unfolding, and he is fluent.

The king of Han reclined on the bed of Luohan, next to two wrestlers, wearing silver armor and holding two large axes, looked like a door god, fierce and vicious. King Han's head was full of thin needles, which looked a little scary.

Concubine Wei has been driven away by him, leaving only her father-in-law at the bottom.

"Chen Yuan, you are guilty." King Han had a rough voice, but it implied a strong murderous aura. Chen Yuan cut off his economy in Shizhou, and when the grandson Zhu Zhanji got married, the King of Han was going to make trouble, and Chen Yuan was hiding from the sky and the sea, and when he saw Chen Yuan himself, the King of Han's irritable temperament couldn't sit still.

Chen Yuan was stunned in his heart, he didn't know if his actions in Shandong had been discovered by the King of Han, but with the violent temper of the King of Han, if he really found out that he had helped the White Lotus Sect, he would have killed himself a long time ago to relieve his hatred. He bowed down and fixed his mind: "The minister confesses his sin, but he does not know where the sin comes from." ”

"Clever words." King Han shouted, jumped up angrily, the silver needles on his head swayed one by one, King Han held his head in pain, and his father-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said in a fuss: "The prince is angry, the prince is angry, the prince is careful to ...... body."

King Han pushed him away, and pointed at Chen Yuan angrily, "Flattery, flattery, no rules in the court, rushing into the scholars." A low-level courtier, who stirred up Nanjing full of wind and rain, any crime is enough to punish your nine clans. ”

Your uncle, Chen Yuan secretly scolded, how could he be accused of so many crimes in a flash. These are still decent to those pedantic ministers, but King Han, the most unruly person, is very weird to say, making people want to laugh and laugh.

Chen Yuan couldn't make the appearance of seeing through him, and said with a surprised face: "Prince, speaking of which, the war in Annan, the courtiers all want to give up Annan, and the prince of Zhao is sincere and asks to go to war, but he is accused by the minister. As for the flattery, the minister followed King Zhao and offended His Royal Highness the Taisun, and the minister had many misunderstandings about the minister, and the minister was also speechless. ”

Hearing him say that he offended the grandson, this kind of news naturally can't be concealed from the king of Han, the enemy of the grandson, the courtier of the third brother, isn't it his own courtier? King Han felt a lot better in his heart, he stood up, paced, a silver needle swayed, his eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice: "You are by my third brother's side, it is better to be honest." ”

"Yes, the minister was originally a cloth cloth, and he was appreciated by King Zhao, how dare he not do his best."

After walking a few steps, the silver needle on his head was not covered, the imperial doctor was frightened, the king of Han was out of breath, and the imperial doctor was busy helping the king of Han to sit down.

"How did you escape from the White Lotus bandits?" King Han looked at him scrutinically.

Chen Yuan had already thought of what to do, and replied with a frightened look: "Back to the prince, the minister is in the hands of the White Lotus bandits, and after several tosses, he has brushed shoulders with death several times. There was no food or clothing, so they always thought that the ministers were of some use, and they never killed the ministers in order to see the King of Han today. Thinking about it now, the minister still feels palpitations, and feels that the evil bandits are staring at him all the time. After complaining for a long time, Chen Yuan said, "They put the minister back, hoping that the minister can say a word to the king of Han." ”

King Han's eyes lit up, and he said sharply: "Say! ”

"The White Lotus Sect bandits told the prince that he hoped that the prince would let them go, allow them to return to their hometowns to farm, and never rebel again."

"Fart." King Han jumped like thunder and sat up from the bed.

The force was too strong, a stream of blood flowed out of King Han's hair, along the forehead to the bridge of his nose, King Han didn't notice it, his father-in-law was startled, and quickly took out a handkerchief, leaned up and said: "Lord, Lord, you bleed......"

"Huh?"

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to wipe it, and the blood in his hand suddenly became a big face, he grabbed the handkerchief from the eunuch's hand indifferently, wiped it twice on his face, stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Yuan, and said sharply: "Committing chaos, the crime is not forgiven, killing court officials, daring, asking this king to forgive them, when this king's head was kicked by a donkey?" Chen Yuan, don't think that if you are the person next to the old man, the king will not kill you, he will not kill you, it is for the sake of the third brother's face, if you dare to mention this kind of rebellion, I will kill you as a traitor and sacrifice the flag, and worship the thousands of soldiers who died in battle. ”

Chen Yuan was not in a hurry: "Lord Wang, you are killing the minister, and the minister still has something to say." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was furious, his fists tightened and tightened, and the two guards looked at Chen Yuan coldly and murderously, as long as the prince gave an order, Chen Yuan would immediately be in a different place.

Thinking of the third brother, there are a few Jinyi guards who are still locked up in their own prisons, if they really kill Chen Yuan, the third brother's donkey temper has to be with him endlessly, and thinking of Jian Yixuan's words, he wants to do great things, and the third brother can be used as aid but not offended, King Han took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Say it, this king will let you die to understand." ”

"Lord Wang, Shandong is a mess, the official army has been defeated, even the deputy chief officer has been killed, the people are ready to move, the leader of the White Lotus bandits has not been caught, if they rebel again, how should the prince deal with it?"

King Han was furious: "It's not your turn to worry about it." ”

"The minister has a way, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

King Han was shocked, he fainted in a hurry, it's not just for this, there are no capable people around him, no one can come up with ideas. The old man's anger was like in his ears, and he couldn't help but tremble. King Han was disobedient again, and in the face of Zhu Di's hatred, he felt a chill in his heart when he thought about it.

Can he have a way? The right to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, he said loudly: "What does mother-in-law do?" If you have something to say, you can say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go. ”

"Yes, it is better for the King of Han to write a letter to ask for guilt and hand over the matter of the White Lotus Sect to the prince."

"Fart!"

"Lord Wang, Shandong has been affected by the Jingjing, and the people have been living poorly for many years, and the people are barren. What can you do here? Now that there is a mess, it is better to ask for the guilt and say that you can't handle it, and let the prince send someone, while the prince asks to return to Beijing and accompany His Majesty. ”

King Han was shocked and looked at Chen Yuan in disbelief. Why didn't he think of this layer, Shandong is poor, otherwise he wouldn't have to go to Shizhou to ask people for money and grain. I can't clean up this mess by myself now, so it's better to go back, at most I will be scolded by the old man, and with the old man's favor, how can I kill myself.

When you go to the old man's side, you are the best candidate to be the prince. King Han hesitated: "I'm afraid that the old man will not agree." ”

"The prince is indispensable in the court, and now in the court, how His Majesty treats the prince is clear. Your Majesty is old, he misses his son, what is there to disagree with, seeing King Han, it's too late to be happy. As for the minister, heh, with His Majesty here, what can the minister say? ”

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, turned slightly sideways, patted his knees gently, and began to ponder.

Chen Yuan beat the drum in his heart, I don't know if King Han will agree, after all, he is the landlord in Le'an, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, what he wants to do, he is himself, so he is unwilling to run to Zhu Di's side, and everything is monitored.

I didn't want King Han to laugh out loud immediately after hearing this, and couldn't help but praise with joy: "Wonderful! Good idea, really good idea, haha, it's a shame how you came up with it, this method is wonderful! Ben Wang is thinking about how to return to Beijing every day, it turns out that it is as simple as that. Shandong is a mess now, with the virtue of the eldest brother, he will definitely not let himself be here, and the father is also afraid that the people will rebel again, and he will also let the king return to Beijing, why didn't the king think of this, and he hit it crookedly, haha. He was not ashamed, but was complacent because he could enter Beijing. He has always believed that only by the old man's side can he plot for the position of prince.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, stopped with his raised palm, suddenly waved it into the air, and said categorically: "Okay, just do it!" Suddenly smiled and said, "Chen Yuan, you are the third brother's courtier, since you have escaped this catastrophe, you should celebrate, come, and set up a banquet tomorrow to wash the dust for Lord Chen." ”
