The sound of funeral music is endless, and the sound of cloud boards is continuous.

This is the first time in 16 years that the Zhu family has held a funeral.

Last time, I wished the old general a happy funeral at 80. Today, it is the white-haired man who sends the black-haired man.

Relatives gathered in front of the coffin and cried, but Zhu Hongchuan, who was white-headed all night, had no time to shed tears.

He was busy welcoming the dignitaries who came to offer his condolences.

He no longer has military power in his hands, and his power in the court has plummeted. Even if it was someone he looked down on in the past, now he has to rein in his edge and deal with it carefully.

"Sir! Madame has passed! ”

The Zhu family and his wife doted on Zhu Zifeng's only son very much, and after learning the news of his death, Mrs. Zhu's tears never stopped.

This kind of commotion was not over until the coffin was buried in the ancestral grave in the suburbs.

The guests dispersed in a hurry, but the white color of the courtyard was even more desolate.

The subordinates were busy cleaning up, and Zhu Hongchuan had time to take a look at his wife.

Although he was arrogant and authoritarian when he gained power, his kindness to his wife was also well-known in Jiangdu.

Who is not a powerful man like him who does not have three wives and four concubines?

He only loves Mo alone, and he has been with him for twenty-seven years, and no matter how many women throw him into his arms, he has never looked at it.

The love between husband and wife is true, but the relationship between children is thin.

The eldest son was four years old when he climbed high and played, accidentally fell and fell his head, and was in a coma for seven or eight days.

The concubine was also going to serve in the palace after the queen married into the palace, but she had a strong temperament and was unwilling to work with her eldest sister.

Mo was strong again, and locked the concubine in the room to cut off water and food, trying to force her to comply.

Unexpectedly, this forced her to hang herself from the world.

After the eldest daughter Zhu Junwen entered the palace, the palace walls are separated, how easy is it to see each other again in this life?

Only the second son Zhu Zifeng is always by his side, which is naturally the arrogance of the wind and the rain.

At this moment, Mo snuggled in Zhu Hongchuan's arms, and he didn't even have the strength to cry, "I have done a test, and Feng'er was obviously poisoned by someone." Others are in the prison, who else can poison him except the emperor? He deceived the master's military power, and brutally killed Feng'er, this is to see the stability of Fanbang, and he is going to take our heroes! ”

Her hoarse voice made Zhu Hongchuan's heart even more uncomfortable, he gritted his back molars and said fiercely: "I want my Zhu family to be loyal to the Li Li family for generations, but in the end, he wants to cut off my Zhu family incense!" The eldest sister is the queen mother, and the emperor also has the blood of the Zhu family flowing in his body, he is so ruthless! ”

He slammed his fist into the beam, which shook and his knuckles broke and bled out.

Mo Shi took his hand in distress and wiped the blood away with the handkerchief that had just wiped his tears, "But what can we do, what else can we do?" Now only Wen'er is left, and she is by the emperor's side again, so we can't make the emperor unhappy. For Wen'er, everything has to be endured. ”

Endure.

Oh, that's easier said than done.

It was night, and Mo's was extremely tired after crying for a few days, and she could finally sleep well after being physically exhausted.

But Zhu Hongchuan had a splitting headache and couldn't sleep.

He got up lightly and stood in front of the half-open window, looking at the moon in the sky.

"When the moon is full, there is no perfection in man."

Under the pines and cypresses in the courtyard, there was such a faint and faint voice.

In the dim moonlight, you could see that a tall man stood with his hands in his hands under the tree.

His upper body was not in the shadow cast by the branches, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Who?"

Zhu Hongchuan called vigilantly, and was about to open his mouth to call the house slave, but he heard the man say: "At this moment, the adults are surrounded by heavy troops outside the mansion, you shout, the first one to rush forward will probably not be your palace guard, but the tiger guard." ”

The calmness of the man's words added a bit of mystery to his body.

Somehow, Zhu Hongchuan was not so defensive about him.

He was afraid of disturbing his wife's sleep, so he wrapped himself in a coat and walked out of the bedroom.

When I walked into the man, I found that he was covered with a bronze fanged mask, and he didn't want to show his true face.

He asked, "If it is true that the outside is surrounded by the emperor's guards, how did you get in?" ”

The man chuckled, "Shouldn't you be more concerned about why you're being targeted by the Tiger Guards?" ”

"The emperor is suspicious of me, he poisoned my only son, so he will naturally be afraid of my rebellion!"

"So do you want to rebel?" The man asked bluntly.

Zhu Hongchuan didn't answer his words, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" In the middle of the night, he sneaked into my house, was it just to say these rebellious words to me? ”

He has led troops for many years, and he thinks that he is extremely vigilant, and he is very sensitive to the wind and grass around him.

Rao is like this, if the man in front of him is silent, I am afraid that I will not be able to find him.

He looked at the man and observed carefully, but he was wearing an unrecognizable jet-black gown, tied with a green rope at the waist, neat and capable, and featureless.

It's almost impossible to guess anything about him based on what he's wearing.

The only breakthrough may be the face under his mask.

The tip of the index finger of his left hand made a stroke on his thumb, and he was about to make a move on the man, but he heard the man say before him: "If I were an adult, I wouldn't do it now." First, I was able to avoid the eyes and ears of the dark guards outside, and quietly appeared in the courtyard of adults, which shows that I have kung fu on my body, at least lightly; Second, the emperor has become suspicious of the adults, and he is moved to provoke them to break in, and I can jump and escape, but what will the adults face? ”

Seeing that Zhu Hongchuan did not make any further moves, the man continued: "My lord has been fighting against Shurong for many years, and he has strategized on the battlefield, and he has won countless battles. Such a simple truth, adults can definitely figure it out. It's just that the pain of losing a child has left adults with no time to take care of him. ”

"How did you know I was going to do it?"

The man imitated his action just now, slashed the tip of the index finger of his left hand on his thumb, and said with a light smile: "There is always such a small movement before the adult swings the army." ”

Zhu Hongchuan was shocked from the bottom of his heart.

He had to be known to those who had been with him for a long time.

"Who the hell are you? What is the purpose of coming to me? ”

"I'm here to show you a clear path. The conquest of Shurong returned triumphantly, and the adults were proud of their achievements, and there was no one in the eyes of the rampant and domineering in Jiangdu. He also boasted in the name of the national ruler that he could influence the promotion and employment of the imperial court, so as to collect money everywhere. Also ......"

"Y-What nonsense are you!"

"Adults don't have to get excited. I can know these things, and Li Mobai will know sooner or later. Let him know, do adults still have a way to live? If I were an adult, I should have figured out the way forward for myself as early as possible. ”

"Back?" Zhu Hongchuan sneered, "He doesn't have my military power, poisoning my son, and he will kill me completely, so what's the way back?" ”

"There are thousands of roads in the world, and as long as adults are willing to walk, there will definitely be roads."

The man patted Zhu Hongchuan's shoulder, and after the mask, his bright eyes flashed coldly,

"Since the emperor doesn't leave you a way out, then replace this emperor."

"Otherwise, you can also be the emperor yourself, and the killing, attack, and defense are all in the palm of your hand, wouldn't it be happy?"
