Chapter 15 One Peach Kills Three Kings

Hearing Zhu Houxi's cold tone, Lu Song on the side nodded and said hurriedly.

"Your Highness, what you said is right, this is indeed a trouble, but this is all later, and now there is a more critical question, that is, Your Highness, how can you enter Beijing and succeed to the throne safely."

"Because according to the news that the humble officials learned from the Jinyi Guard in the capital, now the princes of the court are also divided into several factions, so they are not the only candidates to succeed to the throne, as mentioned earlier, there are also Zhu Youyu, the king of Shouding, and Zhu Youyu, the king of Ru'an."

"So the Empress Dowager Zhang also secretly edicted these two people to enter Beijing, and even there is something in the court that 'the first to be the king, the second to be the minister', so if something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the key is to find a way to solve this problem."

Immediately, hearing Lu Song say this, Zhu Chen next to him was incredible.

"What? No, Lao Lu, although my Lao Zhu is a rough man, I also know that this great position is not child's play, how can there be anything that comes first and then comes, isn't it ridiculous? And at the same time, the three vassal kings were ordered to enter Beijing, so they were not afraid of chaos? ”

"You must know that the current situation is already chaotic enough, the first emperor died suddenly, and the dragons have no leader, if the three vassal kings enter Beijing at the same time to stir up the situation, wouldn't it be even more chaotic? And in this way, will the other vassal kings be able to sit still? What if I also come and intervene? You must know that the example of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Naning, rebelling is right in front of you! ”

Even the accompanying eunuch Huang Jin said sharply.

"Yes, Lord Lu, the slave maid also thinks it is unlikely, this son of heaven should still be His Royal Highness, but how to deal with the civil and military officials in the court is just a problem."

Only Yuan Zonggao pinched his beard, and after thinking about it, he said in a deep voice.

"Your Royal Highness, I don't think so, because the current situation in the court is not in our control, or rather, it is not in the control of the royal family, but in the hands of Yang Ting and that group of court officials, we don't know what the edict of Emperor Zhengde is, and it is not even clear whether he left an edict, all of this is the final say of Yang Ting and those Wenchen, who they want."

"Although judging from the current situation, Your Highness, you are the most likely, but it is inevitable that there will be no accidents, so it is reasonable for them to secretly announce the entry of the three kings into Beijing at the same time, just to see who is the most suitable candidate for the succession in their hearts."

"In this way, they have more room for operation, the so-called two peach to kill three soldiers, their trick is even more amazing, it is one peach to kill three kings, maybe it can cause us and the other two kings to fight, and further weaken the power of the royal family and the clan, so that they can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and be invincible!"

"And Your Highness, even if you really succeed to the throne, is it true that it is truly foolproof? Just now you also said that Yang Tinghe is a powerful minister, analogous to Huo Guang, have you forgotten about Huo Guang's abolition of Liu He? The situation at this time is so similar to that time, so I have to guard against it! ”

Immediately, hearing Yuan Zonggao say this, secretly frightened, Zhu Houxi also had a calm face and gritted his teeth.

"Teacher, what you said is that this king is not thoughtful, it seems that this king wants to inherit the throne safely, it's really not that simple, is there any way for the teacher to resolve it?"

After thinking about it, Yuan Zonggao also shook his head helplessly.

"Your Royal Highness, there is no other way for today, just as You'an said, everything is simple, buy time, let's hold the ceremony of attacking the lord in the palace first, we don't have to wait for the arrival of those court envoys, and we don't have to spend a lot of fanfare, everything is simple, just worship the old prince, and then change the name in the palace."

"After the arrival of those envoys, there is no need to pretend to resign, make any excuses, directly agree, and then immediately set off into Beijing, looking very anxious, deepening their understanding of your city government is not deep and frizzy, so as to seize the opportunity and sit down on the situation."

But after listening to what Yuan Zonggao said, Zhu Houxi still smiled bitterly.

"But teacher, even according to what you said, it's still difficult, after all, my Anlu is far away from the capital, three thousand miles away, and the fief of King Ru'an, the king of Shouding, is only two thousand miles away from the capital, if it is really like the rumors say, 'the first to be the king, the second to be the minister,' then no matter what, this king will not be able to grab them in front, it will be much slower."

"And if the king of Shouding and the king of Ru'an really rush into Beijing to plan before the king and take care of everything, it is really possible to make the king's bamboo basket empty, and in the end it will be just an empty joy."

Hearing him say this, Yuan Zonggao also frowned, because this is indeed a problem, this is a journey of 3,000 miles, and it is really not so easy to solve, just rushing for more than half a month, not to mention that the officials along the way deliberately greet the banquet, and the time to delay will be even more.

Although martial artists and Confucian scholars can use light skills and talents to hurry, the fastest is just like a galloping horse, running hundreds of miles every day, and it is still extremely difficult to reach it in a short time.

Unless you reach the realm of three or more grades, you can fly in the sky for a short time, travel thousands of miles a day, and maybe you can still hope to rush from Anlu to the capital in just a few days.

But it's not realistic, because they don't have any masters of this realm at the moment, and even if they do, it's useless, because they still have to bring a large group of people from the mission, what if these people deliberately drag on? That's really hard to think about fast.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Yuan Zonggao also said helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, the old minister doesn't have any good ideas for a while, if you want to get to the capital in a short time, I'm afraid it's really difficult, and there is no way to do it."

Hearing this, Zhu Houxi was in a hurry and said busily.

"How can it be done, teacher, let's not talk about anything else, and no matter whether there is any 'first to be the king, then to be the minister', even if it is for the sake of my Ming Dynasty, this king has to rush to the capital as soon as possible."

"Because during this period of time, the power of the court is all in the hands of Yang Tinghe, and he is already a genuine emperor, better than Liu Jin, the later we arrive, the more calmly he will be able to plan and arrange the layout, and then we will want to deal with him again, but it will be really difficult to reach the sky."

"So you have to be quick, it's better to kill him by surprise, disrupt their formation, and let them not have so much time to plan and deploy, so everyone, do you have any good ideas? As long as you can come up with it, this king will definitely be rewarded! ”

But when everyone heard this, they were silent for a while, obviously, they really couldn't think of any good way, and Zhu Chen, who was born in a martial artist, couldn't help but shake his head again and again.

"Alas, Your Highness, it's difficult, it's difficult, after all, this is more than 3,000 miles away, it's not child's play, we can't put on our wings and fly over, that's too strong, even if I am a five-grade martial artist, I can't help it, I have to run tired and tired for more than half a month, it's really no way."

"Fly over?"

And suddenly, Wan Xing, who was sitting on the lower hand, was also stunned after hearing him say this, and muttered in a low voice, and then suddenly thought of his father who was trying to build a rocket to fly into the sky.

"Eh, Your Highness, wait, I may have an idea, I can let you enter Beijing before King Ru'an, the king of Shouding, shorten the time, and strive for the first opportunity!"

Hearing this, fortunately suddenly said this, with a look of surprise on his face, under the great joy, Zhu Houxi also hurriedly said.

"Really? Do you really have a way to let us enter Beijing before King Ru'an, the king of Shouding? ”

Including Zhu Chen, Lu Song, Zhang Zuo and others, they all looked at him incredulously.

"Yes, nephew You'an, this is not a joke, with a distance of three thousand miles, how can you help His Royal Highness reach the capital faster than King Ru'an, the king of Shouding, is it impossible?"

"That's right, even if we hurry up day and night, and push off all the receptions and banquets along the way, it will take at least a month's effort, and it can't be faster, and King Ru'an, King of Shouding, if they are in the same hurry as us, they will arrive in twenty days at most, and it is impossible to surpass them, unless you can really take us to fly over."

smiled, fortunately didn't explain too much, just smiled.

"Hehe, seniors, maybe I can really fly you over? Anyway, Your Highness, there is no other way now, just let me try, maybe it can really be done. ”

"Oh, yes, what the hell do you have in mind? Tell us about it, let's take a good look at it and see if it's possible. ”

I saw that Wan Xing was a little mysterious.

"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, I have to test this method first, so I have to make some preparations in advance, I need some help from Your Highness, to be successful."

Immediately, Zhu Houxi was also unstingy.

"No problem, You'an said quickly, what help, this king will try his best to satisfy."

"It's also simple, I hope Your Highness will prepare the following things for me, I have my own use."

As he spoke, he took a pen and paper from Zhu Houxuan's desk and wrote down what he needed on the paper.

Seeing this, seeing that he was so mysterious, Zhu Houxi also became more and more curious, and hurriedly took the paper to take a look, he was even more surprised, and he didn't know what he wanted these things for, so he looked at him strangely, but still nodded.

"Okay, it's okay You'an, although I don't know what you want these for, but in a day at most, this king promises to buy everything for you and send it home."

Hearing Zhu Houxuan's promise, fortunately he was also relieved and said busily.

"That's good, Your Highness, then I promise that I will give you a huge surprise in a few days."

"Okay, You'an, then the king is waiting for you to give me this huge surprise, if you can really help us reach the capital one step ahead of schedule, this king will definitely be rewarded."

Saying that, without talking nonsense, Zhu Houxi turned his head to Yuan Zonggao and the others again and continued to discuss.

"Then teacher, since You'an is going to prepare a surprise for us, we can't just wait, let's take advantage of the days before the envoys arrive, let's hold the ceremony of attacking the lord first, don't wait for them, complete the ceremony first, you can also save time, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

Nodding, Yuan Zonggao also stroked his beard and said.

"Well, okay, Your Highness, the old man also thinks so, or as I said before, all the etiquette procedures are simple, and there is no need to publicize the banquet with great fanfare, after all, Your Highness, you are still in the mourning period, and it is not good to be too high-profile."

"Just copy a few more copies of the holy decree sent by the imperial court to attack the king and post it, and announce it to the people of Anlu, let them know, and worship the tomb of the first king."

"Well, it's okay, teacher, this matter of copying the holy decree will trouble you, and I think the day after tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and this king will tentatively officially remove the funeral lord the day after tomorrow."

As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed Zhang Zuo and the others.

"Zhang Zuo, you are the head of the palace, this corresponding etiquette, you look at the preparation, as the teacher said, everything is simple, no extravagance and waste, just worship the tomb of the first king, and change the name of the funeral, and strive to end within one day."

"It's Your Highness, the slave and maid will definitely do their best to complete this matter."

Nodding, Zhu Houxi commanded Zhu Chen, the commander of the guards.

"Zhu Chen, you are the commander of the palace, in charge of the soldiers and horses, the guards of the palace have to be maintained for me these days, and I can't make any mistakes, otherwise I will ask you."

Zhu Chen was also busy hugging his fists.

"Your Highness rest assured, I will do my best to protect it, so I will go back and send people to protect the entire royal city tightly, and if anything goes wrong, come and see you."

"Okay, this king believes that you can do a good job, as for Lu Song, you will continue to pay attention to the information of the imperial court, including the movements of that group of envoys, if there is any trouble, you must report it to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Very good, then you should go down first and do what you are told, remember, if there is any situation, you must notify the king as soon as possible, and there is no room for error."

"Yes!"

Saying that, fortunately, they did not delay, they all hurriedly retreated, and acted according to their respective orders, making all kinds of preparations for the upcoming turmoil of the Great Rites Meeting, and striving for as much chance of victory as possible.
