Chapter 50: The Great Wave Strikes (5)
Shen Jiannan was worried that Zhu Qizhen would be frightened, so he hurriedly walked in and said, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, I'm Shen Jiannan." ”
Zhu Qizhen took advantage of the moonlight, looked carefully, and when he couldn't speak, he smacked his mouth and motioned to Shen Jiannan to solve his acupoints.
Shen Jiannan said: "I am afraid that the emperor's exclamation will alarm the guards outside, so I am disrespectful to the emperor, please don't blame the emperor." Stretched out his hand to untie Zhu Qizhen's acupoint.
Zhu Qizhen hesitated: "Shen Jiannan? Are you the capital of Jinyiwei? ”
Shen Jiannan said lightly: "It used to be, but now it's not, the last time I came, the emperor refused to admit my identity, so he was forced to be the commander." ”
Zhu Qizhen said: "You are so bold to break into the inner courtyard of the palace late at night, intending to hold the emperor hostage, do you know what kind of crime this is?" ”
Shen Jiannan said: "I know, this is a capital crime. ”
Zhu Qi said angrily: "You know, you still do this? ”
Shen Jiannan said: "Your Majesty, whether you are willing to admit my identity or not, but I am determined to save you, even if it is not for myself, I have to think about the common people in the world." ”
Zhu Qizhen hesitated: "You mean to save me, it's ridiculous, is someone trying to assassinate me?" ”
"This is much more serious than the assassination, and it is related to the Ming Dynasty." Shen Jiannan replied solemnly.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhu Qizhen was shocked.
"Your favorite eunuch Cao Jixiang, and Shi Heng, who you have just made a general, are plotting to kill the king, and they want to unite the Jianghu sect and take the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop." Shen Jiannan said coldly.
"What? How did you know that there was such a thing? You can't be the one who sows discord. Zhu Qizhen was shocked, but he didn't believe it.
Shen Jiannan sighed: "I knew you wouldn't believe it, but once it happened, it was too late to regret it." ”
Zhu Qizhen said: "The so-called catching thieves and catching dirty, catching traitors and catching doubles, what evidence do you have?" ”
"Nope." Shen Jiannan said exactly.
"If there is no evidence, it is slandering my court officials, and it should be taken down." Zhu Qizhen was suddenly annoyed and was about to call someone outside.
Shen Jiannan hurriedly stepped forward, shot his acupoint again, and said lightly: "I'm sorry emperor, although I have no evidence now, I believe that the truth will be revealed soon, today is only offended, Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng are ready to kill you when you go on patrol, so I advise the emperor not to go on patrol, they notified the bandits in the rivers and lakes, and want to kill you with their hands, everything I said is the truth, there is no need to lie to you, please think twice, if the emperor alarms the people outside, the rumor will leak immediately, I am afraid that I will not be able to wait for the patrol, The emperor died in the palace, if the emperor figured it out, he nodded, I will solve the emperor's acupoints, otherwise, I can only rob the emperor for the time being, and then find a way to deal with Cao Jixiang and them. ”
Zhu Qizhen secretly thought, what the person in front of him said was not like a lie, and he didn't seem to have any motive to harm himself, if this kid wanted to be a prince, it would be impossible to kill me, and he would believe him once. Then he nodded.
Shen Jiannan untied Zhu Qizhen's acupoint again, and said: "I heard about the emperor's patrol on the rivers and lakes, and the various sects in the rivers and lakes will go out to kill the monarch at that time, I don't know if the matter of the patrol is true or false, so I went into the palace late at night to investigate, in order to persuade the emperor not to go out on patrol, just now I heard the dialogue between the emperor and Cao Jixiang, I followed Cao Jixiang again, and heard him and Shi Heng talking secretly, it turned out that this conspiracy was Cao Jixiang and several sects in the rivers and lakes colluded. ”
Zhu Qizhen sighed and sighed: "What a Cao Jixiang, deeply favored by the emperor, he doesn't want to repay the service, but he plots to rebel, and I want to put him to death." ”
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger first, this matter can't be rushed, now the Imperial Forest Army outside is Shi Heng's people, before the emperor makes a move, they will rush to the palace, and when the time comes, it will be out of control."
Zhu Qizhen began to be frightened, with a feeling of total creepy, and hesitated: "What should I do, I should have killed Cao Jixiang, a traitor, I was arrested first, it was he who instigated my imperial brother Zhu Qiyu to ascend the throne, and then Zhu Qiyu was not pleased, and instigated the Nangong coup, obviously, he is a capricious villain, only blame the beginning... ”
Shen Jiannan said solemnly: "This matter should not be publicized, let me think of any way to resolve it." ”
Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said: "Shen Jiannan, if you can relieve the siege of me, I have decided to make you the crown prince and pass on the throne to you in the future." ”
Shen Jiannan hesitated: "What do you mean by that, accepting the identity of my prince?" But it doesn't matter if I'm a prince or not, I'm not uncommon to be a prince, so don't say anything about the emperor, I'm too tired, I didn't save you to make you grateful to me and repay me, to be honest, I was homeless since I was a child, and then I learned that I still have a father, he turned out to be the emperor, but it didn't have much impact on me, I just want to know what it's like to have a father, there is more than one son of the emperor, but it won't be me who will be the emperor, whether you recognize me as a child or not, I just want to do what a child should do. ”
Zhu Qizhen sighed twice, sat on the edge of the bed slowly, and said hesitantly: "Hey, more than 20 years have passed, and the people who knew the truth of the matter back then have died, don't be suspicious of me, it's just that there are too many people pretending to be princes, they all covet the emperor's throne, how can I not be cautious, in case I am fooled by the fake, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty change hands, but listening to what you just said, I also think that you are my son, because others pretend to be the prince, but you are not." ”
Shen Jiannan said solemnly: "In the unintentional officialdom, it may also be poor since childhood, I never thought of being a prince, and I was also troubled by the identity of this prince before, tormenting me for a long time, I am really tired, in the face of the pursuit and coercion of various sects in the rivers and lakes, I am very lucky to be able to live until now, the palace is not impregnable, the last time the factions in the rivers and lakes have come in once, I really want to take off the identity of the prince, return to the mountains, and live a quiet life." ”
Zhu Qizhen said: "Since you don't want to be in the palace, I can reward you with golden land, which is enough for you to live for a long time." ”
Shen Jiannan said: "I don't want anything, I just want to do some obligations and responsibilities, for the people of the world, for the righteous path of martial arts." ”
Zhu Qizhen sighed: "Then what good can you do." ”
Shen Jiannan hesitated, he didn't think of a good way for a long time, and sighed: "I can't think of a way for the time being, but there are still three days to go, let me think slowly, the plan to stop the patrol at the moment will not work, if you don't go out on patrol, Cao Jixiang will definitely prepare in advance, but if you go on patrol, you will fall into their trap, which is really not easy to do." ”
Zhu Qizhen looked frustrated and annoyed, and muttered: "Could it be that I, Zhu Qizhen, am destined to be the emperor who was killed in my life?" Heaven is really unfair to me. ”
Shen Jiannan pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "I have a way, I don't know if it's feasible or not, whether the emperor is willing." ”
Zhu Qizhen seemed to see hope when he heard this, and asked happily: "What's the way, say it quickly." ”
Shen Jiannan hesitated and said: "I'm thinking, can you get a fake emperor to take you on a tour, and then the emperor will take advantage of these few days to secretly mobilize troops from all over the world to enter the king of Jingqin, and then I will send someone to secretly monitor the situation of the southern tour, as long as Cao Jixiang attacks the fake emperor, we have the evidence to capture him, and we can eradicate this thief." ”
Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly: "Find a fake one, what if you are recognized by Cao Jixiang?" ”
Shen Jiannan said: "Cao Jixiang is absolutely unrecognizable, and the person we are looking for is also a very shrewd person, and I feel that I can't show my feet." ”
"But where can I find someone who looks so much like me?" Zhu Qizhen sighed again.
Shen Jiannan said: "Without further ado, Your Majesty, please come with me and come back at dawn." ”
"Where to go." Zhu Qizhen asked hesitantly.
"You'll find out when you go." Shen Jiannan said, lifted his arm, took Zhu Qizhen under his armpit, jumped up along the roof, and disappeared into the night sky.
Shen Jiannan took Zhu Qizhen to the place where he stayed with the Xiaoshan brothers in advance, and the brothers were very happy to see Shen Jiannan come back safely, but they saw that Shen Jiannan also brought back a person, although it was dark and he couldn't see the face clearly, but he saw that this person was wearing bright yellow pajamas, and it was expected that this person must be the emperor, Feng Wanshan hesitated and said: "Fourth brother, did you bring the emperor out?" ”
Shen Jiannan said: "Exactly." ”
Everyone was shocked, hurriedly knelt down, and said in unison: "I don't know that the emperor has arrived, and I have missed the welcome, please forgive the emperor." ”
Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "Heroes, please get up, don't be formal." ”
Shen Jiannan said: "I went to the palace to find out the truth, and the emperor is indeed going to patrol." ”
Feng Wanshan said: "Your Majesty, presumably the fourth brother has already told you, and we are also discussing countermeasures, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" ”
Zhu Qizhen said: "I am not talented, and my heart is like numbness. ”
Shen Jiannan said: "I definitely have to go on patrol, I plan to let the eighth brother make a disguise again, so as to confuse the truth." ”
Zhou Gongyi hesitated and said: "You really need very shrewd people to mess with fakes, if it weren't for Miss Qu, it would be really difficult to pretend to be Hua Yumeng." ”
Qu Lingyan smiled mischievously: "Then let me go." ”
Zhou Gongyi sighed: "Miss Qu, don't laugh, you are a girl, how can you become the emperor." ”
Qu Lingyan smiled: "Isn't it over if I don't speak?" ”
"How is that possible, the emperor has to say a lot of things every day, and suddenly he doesn't speak, others must be suspicious." Li Rugui said lightly.
Ma Yuntian said: "Then I'll go." ”
Feng Wanshan hesitated: "This errand is very dangerous, what is needed is that once discovered, it must have an extraordinary ability to escape, so only people who have excellent light skills can do it." ”
Li Rugui looked at everyone, stepped forward by himself, and said: "The person you are talking about is me, among the brothers, only I have the best light skills, and I am also the fastest to slip away, and I am the best at escaping kung fu, it seems that I am the only one who goes." ”
Feng Wanshan sighed: "The eleventh brother has indeed made a lot of effort, but you are not the right person, because you are not stable enough, and it is not like pretending to be the emperor." ”
Shen Jiannan said: "I'd better go." ”
"No, I won't allow you to take that risk." Zhu Qizhen vetoed it, and his will was very resolute.
Feng Wanshan was stunned in his heart, secretly displeased, and still hesitated: "The fourth brother is not suitable to go, you still have to preside over the overall situation, I think it is better for the eighth brother to go." ”
Zhou Gongyi said: "Okay, I'll go." ”
Ma Yuntian said: "I am most relieved that the eighth brother goes, you are cautious and cautious on weekdays, and you can stabilize the overall situation." ”
Shen Jiannan said: "Then without further ado, please ask the emperor and the eighth brother to change their clothes." ”
Zhu Qizhen and Zhou Gongyi walked to the side and changed their clothes, Zhou Gongyi wore Zhu Qizhen's pajamas and began to imitate Zhu Qizhen's appearance, after half an hour passed, Zhou Gongyi came to everyone and said with a smile: "Let's see, there are still shortcomings." ”
Everyone watched carefully, compared with Zhu Qizhen, and they were full of praise, Zhu Qizhen himself was stunned, and praised: "Sure enough, it is a good method, it is exactly the same as me, it is enough to be fake and real." ”
Zhou Gongyi said: "Since there is no mistake, without further ado, I will go back to the palace." ”
Shen Jiannan instructed: "Eighth brother, be careful in everything, we will follow you all the way to protect you." ”
Zhou Gongyi said with a smile: "Fourth brother, please rest assured, this task will definitely be completed, brothers take care, I'm leaving." ”
Zhu Qizhen looked at the back of Zhou Gongyi's departure, and had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if he was worried about something, and said in his heart: "There is such a disguise technique in the world, if you take it seriously..... That's how to do it. ”
"Your Majesty, the next step is to transfer troops from all over the country to secretly enter Beijing and prepare along the way." Shen Jiannan reminded and made the next plan.
"Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, I think the only way to transfer troops is to Shandong." Zhu Qizhen pondered.
"I've been to Shandong, the prefect Chen Shangjie is definitely a good official who is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and General Zhang Xinghan under him is also a good patriotic general, and it couldn't be better if the emperor transferred them over." Shen Jiannan smiled happily.
Feng Wanshan said: "Eleventh brother, this matter will be handed over to you, and you must lead the army into Beijing within three days." ”
"Don't worry, big brother, at the speed of the younger brother, you can get to Shandong in less than half a day, and in this way, you can come back in two days." Li Rugui was full of confidence in his light skills, so he swore to answer.
Ma Yuntian said bitterly: "Eleventh brother, this is not a joke, this is very important at this time, you must not take it lightly." ”
Li Rugui said rightly: "If things can't be done well, I am willing to ask the eldest brother and second brother to punish him." ”
Feng Wanshan was relieved and said with a smile: "Okay, you can go now, be more careful on the road." ”
Shen Jiannan said: "Send one more person to inquire about the movements of various Jianghu sects at any time." ”
Wang Guyan said: "Let me go for this matter." ”
Shen Jiannan said: "I don't have to worry if the sixth brother goes to do it, let's stay here, just wait for three days, and the emperor will go on patrol." ”
Feng Wanshan hesitated and said, "The emperor is resting here, will it be inappropriate?" ”
Zhu Qizhen smiled: "It doesn't matter, I was imprisoned for seven years, and the environment is much worse than here." ”
Feng Wanshan said with a smile: "That's good, I'm still worried about wronging the emperor." ”
