Zhu Si was angry with the minister.

This was something that Zhang Xuan did not expect, and when he heard that the emperor had sent an edict in the Hanlin Courtyard saying that he had gone to Xishan, the horror in his heart was the same as that of those Wenchen who heard the news, and he felt that the emperor was messing around.

Of course, the nonsense that Wenchen thinks is that the emperor left the palace without permission, as irresponsible as his predecessor Zhu Houzhao.

What Zhang Xuan thinks is that the emperor is so capricious that after the news is leaked, he will directly issue an edict to the public.

After Huo Tao heard about this, he hurried to Zhang Xuan's office to find him and expressed his concern: "It is said that Your Majesty is very angry and angry with Zhang Gonggong and others, if Your Majesty sends someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, I am afraid that it will ......."

"Who else knows but you and me?" Zhang Xuan inquired.

Originally, Zhang Xuan's purpose was to set the monarch and the minister against each other, and he took the opportunity to come out as a military advisor to give advice to the emperor, but now there is a dislike between the monarch and the minister, but the emperor is stranded in the West Mountain and does not return, and the nature has changed all of a sudden.

With the expansion of the contradictions between the monarch and the minister, once there is any more death-defying incident, the situation is definitely not something that he Zhang Xuan can manage.

So now Zhang Xuan's coping strategy is to hold things down, no matter what, no one can find out that he leaked the secret.

Huo Tao said: "This matter is a rumor released by someone, and no one knows that you and I are involved." ”

"Who let the wind go?"

Zhang Xuan is very strange.

I left it to you to do the things I planned with you, why do you say that we can't be involved? With whose hand did it spread out, and by whose prestige did it make the ministers accept it? Did he just tell the ministers that the emperor would not appear in the court in the coming days and go to Xishan, but the early dynasty was canceled, and those ministers believed the rumors?

It must be convincing enough to convince the minister.

Huo Tao shook his head: "Actually, this matter ...... In my estimation, it is likely to have something to do with Huang Butang......"

"Is that him?"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

From the very beginning, he ignored the problem of the expansion of this matter, he just wanted to have problems in the DPRK when Zhu Hao was not in the capital, he stood up and turned the tide, but he didn't think that someone would calculate him, because the decision was made by him, no one could have expected his thoughts in advance and had insight into his plan in advance, right?

But now he feels that he is likely to be the one who is being used, rather than him taking advantage of the contradiction between the monarch and the minister to make a fuss.

He thought he was a chess player, but he suddenly became a pawn on the chessboard.

Zhang Xuan still has this awareness, and hurriedly said: "Then find someone to spread it to the outside world, saying that this matter may be related to Huang Butang's leak." ”

"Is it really going to be a big deal?"

What Huo Tao means is that now that things have become bad, you have to continue to make trouble, poke Huang Zan out, don't say whether the emperor believes it or not, just say what is the benefit of this matter to you?

Do you really think that as long as Zhu Hao is not there, the emperor will definitely ask for your opinion if he has something?

Zhang Xuan was actually very apprehensive in his heart, but he wanted to show a confident appearance in front of Huo Tao: "Don't you understand it yet?" In fact, the current results are good, and His Majesty may soon summon me to Xishan to discuss countermeasures, isn't this the situation we need? ”

Huo Tao wanted to ask, is there any possibility of being cocooned and self-bound?

But he held back.

No matter what Zhang Xuan thinks now, he has no room to back down, because he has already boarded Zhang Zhang's thief ship, and if he jumps off ship now, Zhang Zhang will throw stones into the water and kill him, because no one can tolerate betrayal.

……

……

Xishan Villa, the emperor is temporarily here.

After Zhu Si asked people to go back to the capital to release the news of him in Xishan, he was angry for less than an hour, and he was relieved to be his idle emperor and wandered around the garden near the villa.

This time he did not dare to go far, because he was afraid that his visit to Xishan would be used by people with ulterior motives, and it might not hurt to bring a few assassins, but if he provoked the Tatars, or rebels appeared...... That's a big deal.

Zhang Zuo hurriedly came over, and after seeing Zhu Si, he didn't do anything immediately.

Zhu Si asked, "In the capital, what is the reaction of those ministers when they hear that I am not in the palace?" ”

Zhang Zuo is very embarrassed, because some things are not easy to investigate, if it is in the court, the minister will directly say what he thinks, the bold will make a direct admonition, the timid will choose to be silent, and even the courtiers will argue with each other to distinguish right from wrong.

But now that the ministers had not been informed of the news for a long time, and the emperor had not received them, it was not easy for the ministers to know what they were thinking in private, and they could only know what they thought after seeing what they had done about it.

"Your Majesty, so far, no one has publicly stated their position on this matter, and no one has been seen." Zhang Zuo said cautiously.

Zhu Si was a little strange, tilted his head sideways and thought about it, frowned and asked, "They are smart now, don't they come against me?" No one will discuss it secretly and go to Zuo Shunmen to kneel down, right? ”

Zhang Zuo said: "I don't see this tendency. ”

"That's not right! Wrong! ”

Zhu Si himself denied his previous thoughts, "They know that it is useless to do this, if they want to do it directly, they may go to the imperial aunt in the palace to ask for instructions, and let the imperial aunt make a decree and abolish me!" Only then can they solve the problem once and for all! ”

Zhang Zuo was taken aback.

How unconfident is the emperor?

Do you think that Empress Dowager Zhang will abolish him at any time?

Let's not talk about whether Empress Dowager Zhang really wants to do this, even if Empress Dowager Zhang has this idea, will those ministers dare? Even if Wenchen and the Queen Mother really join hands, will those martial artists dare?

Zhu Sidao: "Didn't Jingdao tell me before?" When the door was seized at the beginning, a courtier went to ask the Queen Mother and got the Queen Mother's decree......"

Zhang Zuoxin said, it turns out that he is waiting here!

Since Your Majesty knows that it is risky to leave the palace rashly, why do you have to come to Xishan?

Zhang Zuo hurriedly said: "The old slave immediately sent someone back to let people keep an eye on the palace ban, and no one is allowed to send a word into the palace!" ”

"Can you prevent it?"

Zhu Si asked like a cannonball, "What if someone falsely spreads the edict?" ”

Zhang Zuo was a little devastated.

You are the one who caused the trouble, you are the one who raised the problem, and you are the one who denies the response now...... What do you want us to do, you can make it clear.

We don't even know where the root of the problem is, how to solve it?

The gentleman's heart is unpredictable, if this is the case, if that Mr. Zhu is here, a little mention, we will know what His Majesty is thinking, everything is relaxed and orderly, why is he here at this time to play dumb riddles with His Majesty?

"In this way, go and call Zhang Bingyong to me, oh yes, and Xi Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites, let them come together!"

Zhu Si probably didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he decided to call the two imperial party cadres at the same time.

Zhang Zuo asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to invite Huang Shangshu with you?" ”

Zhu Sidao: "You can't transfer them all at once, you always need someone to stay in the court to listen to the direction of the wind, if I transfer all my cronies, wouldn't that give the rebellious ministers and thieves an opportunity to take advantage of?" ”

Zhang Zuo suddenly felt that the emperor had prepared for the worst.

It's just because of an incident caused by a patrol......

If the emperor hadn't said on a whim yesterday that he was coming to Xishan, how good would it be?

……

……

After receiving the emperor's verbal order, Xi Shu and Zhang Xuan immediately went to Xishan, and they also chose to travel by train.

For them, this is the most convenient and fast way to get from the capital to Xishan, even if they are riding horses.

"Xi Butang, what do you think Your Majesty is going to do?"

Zhang Xuan seemed completely unaware, and at this time there were only two of them in the train carriage, Zhang Xuan looked humbly taught, and asked Xi Shu for instructions.

Xi Shu said: "Why does Your Majesty want to inspect Xishan? Why is there no news at all in advance? ”

Compared with Zhang Xuan's restraint, Xi Shu is very open to this.

At the beginning, Zhu Houzhao traveled and went directly to the northwest to be a chief military officer, and he had to move the court to Xuanfu, which made Wenchen's head big.

And now the emperor has found a reasonable excuse, saying that he is going to inspect Xishan, even if it is said afterwards...... But with the current emperor's control over the court, it's not easy for others to make trouble, right?

Besides, even a few members of the cabinet did not show any intention of admonishing.

Zhang Xuan said: "I don't know at all. Could it be that someone deliberately sent His Majesty on patrol to test the reaction of the people in the DPRK? ”

Xi Shu smiled and didn't say anything.

The contradiction between Zhang Xuan and Zhu Hao is not a secret now, Xi Shu still has expectations for Zhang Zhang, so he will say this to Zhang Zhang.

Now that Zhang Xuan deliberately pretended to be a lake in front of him, Xi Shu had nothing to say.

……

……

Xishan North School Field, the Chinese Army's Big Tent.

Huang Jin was standing next to Shuai Yu, and the guards in the city were mobilizing Lu Song to strengthen the security inside and outside the city.

The arrival of the emperor, and it was made public, still had a great impact on the ordinary people in the city, and some occasions had to be temporarily closed, and even the two coal mines near the foot of the mountain had to stop operating.

The ordinary people of Xishan feel very honored by the emperor's presence.

Especially those who have taken root in Xishan, they have begun to gradually buy property and live in Xishan, if Xishan is affirmed by the emperor, it means that their previous choice is right, which is a great encouragement for them.

"Lu Qianhu, if there are Tatar soldiers and horses coming to attack now, will they be able to resist it?" Huang Jin asked nervously.

Lu Song replied: "There is no sign of Tatar ranger activity at present. ”

Huang Jin asked again: "Is it reliable?" ”

Lu Song said affirmatively: "The night is not closed in the west of the Bauhinia Pass, north of the Juyong Pass, there are a large number of sentry posts, it is very convenient to transmit messages to each other, and at present, the temporary line is close to the station, there is really a Tatar attack, Your Majesty only needs to get on the train, you can quickly return to the capital, the Tatars have nothing to do!" ”

"Yes, yes!"

Huang Jin suddenly relaxed.

The emperor got on the train, and with the speed at which the train was moving, it was almost impossible for the Tatars to catch up.

"Is it possible that the Tatars will make a detour and destroy the railroad tracks?"

Huang Jin suddenly thought of something again and became nervous.

Lu Song said with a smile: "The factory is too worried, these are all in Mr. Zhu's prediction, and it is very difficult for the Tatars to interfere with the operation of my Daming train." And even if Your Majesty doesn't leave, the soldiers and horses in our city have a large number of advanced firearms, as long as the Tatars lightly attack the enemy and go deep alone, there will definitely be no return! ”

Huang Jin shook his head and said: "It's better to be cautious, there can be no hidden dangers, no one can afford to have an accident!" ”
