Looking at these contents, Zhu Zhanji's heart was a little settled.

At the same time, my heart is more melancholy.

After all, the old man was still thinking about his eldest grandson before he died, and the edict and troops were all arranged, but he didn't even see the last side of the old man.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel some remorse in my heart.

and his father, who was still teaching him the way to be a king in the last period before he died.

As a monarch, you should have the world in mind, and you can't only have interests and disadvantages in your heart.

armies, systems, decrees, courts.

These are all necessary for the constitution of the State.

But if that's all there is, it's not going to work.

Morality, family and country feelings, benevolence and righteousness, these are also possessed by the monarch.

There are so many people in a country, no matter how perfect the system, no matter how perfect the decree, no matter how powerful the army, it will not be able to control the people's hearts.

What's more, the army, the system, and the laws and regulations are all born from the people of the world, and naturally they cannot defeat the people of the world.

Blindly only know how to be brave and ruthless, only have interests and disadvantages in your heart, and forget benevolence, righteousness and morality, and lose people's hearts, you will lose the world.

Sooner or later, the use of state power as a public instrument for selfish desires will go wrong.

These are the truths that his father taught him.

At the same time, his father also spent his life teaching him this truth.

No matter how strong the Ming Dynasty is, no matter how powerful the Ming army is, firearms and artillery surpass the times, but if the army is in chaos, it will lose everything.

The spirit of the army is not a manifestation of the hearts of the people in the world.

The northern expedition to Mobei was caused by the Mongol tribes attacking and harassing the border.

The world is in the heart.

This is the right way.

But if the Ming Dynasty is now under the continuous war, the people are hungry, and after the Northern Expedition, they will fight a civil war because of the Zhu family themselves, and the hearts of the people in the world will be lost.

His father, Zhu Gaochi, has said this several times.

Don't start a war.

It can be prepared, but not warn.

Intrigue and trickery can't make a big deal, if you want to be the emperor, you have to put the people of the world first. If not, then what difference does it make if the Mongols, the Warats, or the people of our old Zhu family are sitting on the dragon chair?

What does it have to do with the people?

In everything, we must talk about it first, and if it is not appropriate, we will talk about it later!

Repeated talks, repeated concessions, until finally had to fight, and then sent troops.

Power is a public instrument.

What is a Male Apparatus?

That's not a one-person thing.

Do anything, let the world see that you have the sincerity to solve this problem, this is the right way!

The country does not follow the right path, and no one supports you.

No one will love you if you do not show grace to the people.

It's easy to be majestic, brave and ruthless, learn to be angry, learn to forgive, learn to tolerate, this is the hardest!

When he first listened to his father's words, Zhu Zhanji thought of all kinds of future generations, and the world of the future generations, wouldn't it be as good as what his father said, let the world and the world see that you have the sincerity to solve the problem.

There is responsibility and responsibility.

If you are not angry, if you do not suffer, if you do not tolerate it, is this a responsibility?

If it is no longer critical, is it just a responsibility?

If you don't have these two, you are no different from others.

How different from those thieves who burn and kill and take captivity.

If you just want to be a monarch in a peaceful place, this is naturally easy.

Thieves dare to commit crimes, kill thieves.

Whoever dares to deceive will be punished even if he is far away.

But if you want to sit in that position, you can't afford to lose both.

Moreover, the afterlife is far inferior to the enemy.

Just like today, 500,000 elites of the Ming Dynasty, if he, Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, is no different from the two outside, they only care about interests, but they are not benevolent and do not care about the people of the world.

What's the difference with them?

The 500,000 army outside is huge, outsiders, people from all over the world, why not help them and destroy his grandson?

Wouldn't it be better and more appropriate?

It's like Jing Nan at the beginning, if it weren't for the fact that Jianwen didn't harbor benevolence and righteousness, and blindly cut the feudal domain strongly, if it weren't for the old man Zhu Di who had always had a good reputation.

If the battle of Jingjing can be won, there will be ghosts.

If the old man is the same as Na Jianwen, don't hold the emperor's stinky feet, and go to praise a Yan King who has pretended to be crazy and stupid for many years?

Looking at today's situation, if there is no name of benevolence and righteousness of his father Zhu Zhanji, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

Is it useful for this imperial court's order to reach the Shanhaiguan?

With an army of 500,000, who doesn't know who will fight and who will lose this battle?

If the world cares about its interests, as long as his second and third uncles give an order, no one dares to fight wherever he passes.

Those officials and generals may also be able to mix up the dragon's work.

But they understand that as generals, as ministers, loyalty comes first.

That's why it's so.

However, his grandson, the future emperor will not follow these rules that are not written in the decree, who in the world will obey them.

Thinking of what his father had said before his death, Zhu Zhanji, who was standing in place, gradually had a plan in his heart.

Although this battle has not yet begun.

He didn't start fighting, but he already had a plan in his heart.

What to do and what not to do, after thinking of his father's words before his death, he knew in his heart.

This battle seems to be fought by the army, but in fact it is completely different.

If an army of 500,000 could defeat such a large territory as the Ming Dynasty, then there would not have been a dozen or even hundreds of years of battles in history.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period fought for 500 years.

If it were that easy, these histories wouldn't exist.

In later generations, Ade has already unified the world.

What kind of spirit, what doctrine, what kind of faith.

"Get up."

After the herald in front of him got up, Zhu Zhanji said again: "It's been a hard journey, go down to receive the reward and rest." ”

Hearing this, the herald immediately shouted: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

With that, he walked out.

And after the man left, the ministers on the side also suddenly smiled and said: "This edict of the emperor has come at a good time, with this edict, the court can stand on the righteousness." ”

"yes...."

"It's still the emperor's sage, there is ......"

“.......”

Listening to the words of the people around him, Zhu Zhanji did not have the slightest joy.

After thinking about the truths that his father once told him, Zhu Zhanji understood that this battle must not be fought like this.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji did not delay, immediately beckoned to everyone, and after coming to the desk and sitting down, he reached out to take the brush and said, "Yang Shiqi!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Shiqi hurriedly came to the front and replied, "The minister is here." ”

"I order you to immediately raise 10,000 jars of good wine, 1,000 cattle and sheep, 3 million taels of silver, and 2 million catties of good rice, and order people to send them to the outside of the customs immediately, and spread the word to the three armies, this is the prince's reward for the three armies, let them eat and drink well!"

"In addition, according to all the previous battle reports and achievements, your military department drew up a list of rewarded generals overnight and submitted it to the household department for review."

Hearing this, Yang Shiqi was still stunned, and he didn't understand what happened to His Royal Highness Taisun all of a sudden.

Just now, I was still saying that the soldiers outside the pass are running out of food and grass, and if they are trapped outside the pass, they will be able to break the enemy one day.

But now His Royal Highness the Taisun suddenly wants to give a big reward.

Isn't this a capital enemy?

However, Zhu Zhanji obviously didn't give him much time to think, and directly frowned and asked, "Did you hear that!" ”

Although Yang Shiqi felt that this method of His Royal Highness Taisun was inappropriate, but in front of so many people, he didn't dare to disobey His Royal Highness Taisun, and he hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he could only hurriedly bow down and reply: "Weichen takes orders!" ”

At the same time that Yang Shiqi replied, Zhu Zhanji also said to the official Shangshu again: "Wang Zhi! ”

"The minister is here!"

"Order your officials to prepare things in advance according to the reward list prepared by the military department overnight, I will only give you one day, and before dark tomorrow, the people and horses of the court must go on the road."

"Yes!"

In the end, Zhu Zhanji looked at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and said, "Lu Zhen! ”

"The minister is here!"

"The emperor's funeral affairs will be opened immediately, and the edict will be sent to the vassal kings of the world, ordering them to enter Beijing to worship as soon as they receive the will!"

As Zhu Zhanji said this, the officials present suddenly said with some hesitation: "Your Highness, the emperor's death is not trivial, if you announce it to the world so rashly, I am afraid of heresy!" ”

However, in the face of the words of those cabinet scholars, Zhu Zhanji didn't care at all, and said: "The emperor died, how can such a major event be hidden?" As the emperor's grandson, if I even hide the death of the emperor's grandfather from the people of the world and those vassal kings from all over the world, what will they think? What will they think? Could it be that we are going to close the door and become emperors ourselves? Don't even tell your own family? ”

This matter does not make sense, whether it is reasonable or reasonable.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanji did not give them any chance to refute at all.

"Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter, you just follow it."

Seeing this, seeing Zhu Zhanji's resolute attitude, everyone present was not easy to say.

After all, the grandson in front of them is not those ordinary imperial grandsons, their grandson is firm-minded, and once he decides something, others can't persuade him.

This can be seen from the time when he was in prison in the past.

At that time, he was only an eldest grandson, and he had just received the responsibility of supervising the country, and he was a person who dared to tear off the official uniform of the cabinet chief assistant appointed by the emperor himself and throw it back to sober up.

Although it has nothing to do with stubbornness and self-use, and can listen to the persuasion of others, once you decide on a good thing, others can't persuade you.

Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately shouted: "Minister, take the order!" ”

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji also added: "I will draw up the will of the vassal kings in various places, and you only need to prepare other things." ”

"Yes!"

After explaining this, Zhu Zhanji thought about it carefully, and finally said to Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the household department: "Xia Yuanji." ”

"The minister is here."

"Decree to all state capitals and counties in the world, from now on, the imperial court will pay five insurances and one housing fund for the officials of all state capitals and counties in the world, and formulate corresponding subsidies according to the rank of officials. In addition to the officials, the craftsmen, soldiers, langzhong, and errand servants who were included in the imperial court were all paid in one piece. ”

As Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, Xia Yuanji immediately said: "Your Highness, with the additional expenditure of such a large number of people, the household department cannot meet such a large expenditure!" ”

But Zhu Zhanji said: "Don't worry, most of the expenses are paid by the inner treasury, and the household department only needs to pay a part of the amount every year, and the amount will not be too large." ”

Hearing this, Xia Yuanji could accept it, but he still said: "However, Your Highness, it's time now, is it still useful to do this again?" ”

Xia Yuanji's meaning is obvious.

Now that the emperor has died, seeing that the world is about to be in chaos, King Zhao of Han may lead his army to attack, is it still useful to do these flattering things at this time?

In fact, it was not only Xia Yuanji who thought so, but most of the people present thought so.

But Zhu Zhanji just smiled and said: "It's never too late to do anything to win people's hearts." Besides, the salaries of officials and craftsmen in our court are not high, and the imperial court should have done this. Alright, let's go down on errands. ”

Hearing this, after everyone present glanced at each other, they bowed their hands to Zhu Zhanji and said goodbye.

Watching everyone leave, Zhu Zhanji's face returned to coldness.

In fact, he Zhu Zhanji still didn't say a word.

"No matter what, no matter when, as long as the second and third uncles have not cut off his Zhu Zhanji's head, he will let the world see what is the difference between him Zhu Zhanji on this throne and King Zhao of Han on this throne."

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji turned his head and looked at the passage leading to the backyard on the side.

Although he had the heart to go and see his mother first at this time, he also knew that he had more important things to do at this time.

Immediately, he said to Zhu Zhanyong, the only remaining third child in the field, and now Yin Guoji of Shuntian Mansion: "Third child, you go to the backyard to see your mother, don't make her too sad, you go and accompany you." ”

Hearing this, the third child, Zhu Zhanyong, immediately nodded and walked towards the backyard.

And Zhu Zhanji also looked at the last person in the field, Guo Ji, and said, "Guo Ji." ”

Hearing this, Guo Ji hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The minister is here." ”

"Now you are in charge of the city defense army in the capital?"

Guo Ji nodded and said, "If you go back to Your Highness, you will be in a hurry and obey the power, and the errand will be given by the imperial court." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Since that's the case, it's just right, when I came back, I saw that the city defense officers and soldiers in the city were two or three times as many as usual, but so?" ”

Guo Ji immediately nodded and replied, "Exactly." ”

"Alright, go and get the people down, there are so many people standing on it, it's scary. Even if the army really attacked, these people would not be able to resist anything. When the time comes, just arrange it, and you don't have to do it at this time. ”

"In addition, the entry and exit of the capital will also return to normal tomorrow morning, and the city gate will be closed when it should be closed, as in the past, and it must not be changed without authorization."

Although Guo Ji didn't understand what Zhu Zhanji was thinking, he thought of the methods of His Royal Highness the Taisun in the past, and understood that His Royal Highness the Taisun must have his reasons for doing this, so he immediately replied: "Minister, take the order!" ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Okay, let's go on an errand, and go to rest after finishing things, some of them are busy these days." ”

"Your Highness Xie cares!"

After everyone in the hall left, Zhu Zhanji let out a long sigh of relief.

But no matter how tired I was, I still took a brush from the table and wrote on the white paper.

"The imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji will see you."

"Nephew Zhu Zhanji was ordered by the prince to go to meet the emperor's holy drive, on the way to get an urgent report in Beijing, the emperor died on the way back to Beijing, rushed back, just entered the capital, but heard that his father the prince died of illness."

"My nephew is terrified."

"Thinking back to the days when I was a child with the emperor and the crown prince, I was close to playing and joy, and far from the right path. Now the emperor and the crown prince have passed away one after another, and the nephew is restless, and he understands all kinds of rights and wrongs in the past, and he can't help sweating and regretting himself. ”

"The emperor personally led the army to the north to win, which was the immortal merit of the Ming Dynasty, but he died on the way to victory, which is really the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty and an ominous omen."

"Not to mention that the enemy in the north is waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, and there are also people who are not subordinate in all the states and counties of the world who are ready to move."

"I want to divide my Ming territory and destroy the foundation of my Zhu family."

"Before the implementation of the new policy, although the nephew was approved by the emperor, it was clear that this was the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, but the young man acted arbitrarily, and the gentry of the world all hated the nephew."

"This time the emperor died, the prince died, and the nephew was very frightened, but he looked left and right, but he saw that there were ambitious people in the world, and there was no one to rely on."

"Thinking about it, I only think that your uncles can help your nephews."

"I want to invite my uncle back to Beijing to pay tribute to the emperor and crown prince at the same time, so as to calm the world."

"If I am the king for ten years, I will follow the example of the prince, take the hearts of the people as my own heart, take the thoughts of the people as my own thoughts, recuperate with the people, and show grace to the world. The uncle's kindness must be remembered by the nephew. ”

"The book is not exhaustive, you can't go in person, I hope my uncle won't be surprised."

"Nephew, the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji."

The moment he picked up the pen, Zhu Zhanji carefully checked it repeatedly, and after several revisions and confirmed that it was correct, he called the guards outside the door and ordered him to hand over the contents of this fold to the Ministry of Rites.

He ordered it to be re-copied and sent to the hands of the vassal kings in various places.

After writing this letter, Zhu Zhanji also picked up the pen again and began to write a letter to the second and third uncles.

This time, it's simpler.

And not much nonsense.

only said that the agreement with the second uncle still counts, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will leave the other party's life in the world.

At the same time, persuade the second and third uncles to return to Beijing with the emperor's bones.

Now that the emperor has passed away, the ceremony should be put into the ground.

As the son of man and the grandson of the people, even if there are any contradictions and struggles, the emperor should be put into the ground first.

At the same time, the news of the prince's death was also informed.

Although this matter can't be announced to the world now, this kind of thing can't be hidden from the second and third uncles, rather than letting them find out, it is better to tell each other frankly.

After writing these, everything is ready.

Zhu Zhanji is still sitting on the chair where his father Zhu Gaochi sits every day, thinking deeply about the overall situation.

In the end, despite the fact that it was late at night.

He ordered someone to call Yang Shiqi over again.

.............

To the north, outside Shanhaiguan.

Of the 500,000 troops of the Northern Expedition, in addition to leaving 50,000 soldiers and horses in Saibei, the remaining 450,000 soldiers and horses had already been presented outside the Shanhai Pass.

Inside the camp of the Chinese army.

Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, frowned and said to Zhu Gaoxu, the second king of the Han Dynasty beside him: "What does this stinky boy mean? The old man died of illness in the middle of the road, is this what we want to see? He's fine, he won't even let us go back to his home now! ”

Listening to the third child's chatter, the second child Zhu Gaoxu just smiled, and then said: "Now that the entire 500,000 troops of the Ming army are in our hands, what do you say that kid is worried about us?" ”

After hearing the words of the second child, the third Zhu Gaosui's face was also tight, and asked: "Second child, tell me the truth, do you have such a mind?" ”

But the second Zhu Gaoxu asked, "What do you say?" Don't you know my mind? ”

Maybe the third child, Zhu Gaosui, said: "I know? What do I know, what can I know that you and that kid are usually good enough to wear a pair of pants? It's not strange to me that the two of you are sitting down for a drink together at this time. ”

After hearing the words of the third child, the old Han King Zhu Gaoxu sat on the chair, thought about it carefully, and said with a solemn expression: "The third brother, if your brother and I really want to sit in the position of the old man, what do you say?" ”

Feeling the face of the second child, the third child pretended not to know and said: "What do I say, I won't say anything." ”

The second Zhu Gaoxu said again: "Do you really want to sit on you as a prince for the rest of your life?" ”

In this regard, the second brother Zhu Gaosui was not angry, and said to his second brother in the same seriousness: "Second brother, don't mess with me, you also know that I am the prince now, if I follow you to rebel, then I will also be a prince in the future, and there is no difference to me." ”

"So I didn't think much of it from the beginning. But everyone in the world knows that my third child is your second master's party, if your second child really wants to try, I will accompany you. But there are some things we have to talk about first, if you really take the country in the future, you can't kill the people of our old Zhu family, let alone kill my third child! ”

Listening to the third child's words, Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Just looking at his expression now, it seems that he hasn't really made up his mind yet.

Otherwise, this Shanhaiguan would have started a long time ago.

"Alright, no matter what the hell happens, it's not just the two of us in this army right now. Then the British Gong Zhang Fu, Chen Mao, don't dare to say that he will listen to us, you go and call these generals over in a while, let's drink first. ”

Regarding the meaning of his second brother's words, the third Zhu Gaosui is naturally clear.

Nowadays, many generals in this army have nothing to do with their brothers, and whether they want to rebel or not, they must first understand their attitudes.

Hearing this, the third Zhu Gaosui also nodded, and did what the second child said.

And Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han who stayed in the camp of the Chinese army, sat on the chair with a calm face.

"Big nephew, big nephew, if the old man really makes your father or you the emperor this time, I really can't say anything after you succeed to the throne, but now that the old man died so suddenly, then you can't blame the second uncle and me. But don't worry, I won't want your father and your little life, but you have to try the throne with your second uncle........"

Just as the court, including the military camp, were all planning at the same time.

Day 2.

Not far from Shanhaiguan, in a county seat.

Two old men were sitting in the courtyard of the farmhouse, playing chess.

"I said how do you kid do this weird move, it's boring, you can't play if you don't play."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed the chessboard directly.

Seeing this scene, the big fat man sitting opposite him was stunned for a moment, but then he understood something, shook his head, and said: "Dad, you said that you have been messing around all your life, and now you are playing chess in a leisurely manner, why are you still messing around." If you lose, you lose, and you don't admit it. ”

Hearing this, the old man on the other side suddenly glared at him and said, "Why, look at your father, I'm not the emperor now, and I dare to talk to your father like this?" What is not recognized? The strange chess you play by yourself is boring, who likes to play with you, you go to whom. ”

For his father's words, the big fat man also smiled helplessly.

"Look at you, didn't you say this by yourself, what do you say, since you are not the emperor, you have to enjoy the joy of humanity like an ordinary old man? Say there are no rules here, and now you say this. ”

The old man suddenly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, your mouth is a big truth all day long, and everything that comes to your mouth makes sense, okay, I can't talk about you, I can't get under you, okay?" ”

Looking at the child-like father in front of him, the big fat man suddenly had a smile on his face.

If there were people from the court here at this time, they would be so surprised that their eyes would fall out.

Because the two people sitting next to the chessboard in the small courtyard of the farmhouse at this time were the emperor Zhu Di of the current dynasty, and the prince, Zhu Gaochi.

The two who should have died, but at this time, they appeared here as if they had seen ghosts.

When the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, who had been laughing for a while, came back to his senses, he still said with some concern: "Dad, although my son and I agree with your method, I always feel that something is wrong. Isn't that too much child's play? You, an emperor, and I, a prince, made this fake death, if this matter is known to the world, I am afraid that it will be laughed at by future generations. ”

Facing the boss's words, the old man Zhu Di said without any care: "Isn't it a fake death?" What's there to joke about? Besides, if that kid does a good job, then it's not a fake death. You boys, don't you hate your father and me for messing around all day long? Now that I won't do this emperor, let your son do it, isn't this okay? ”

In this regard, the prince Zhu Gaochi also said helplessly: "Dad, you know that my son and I don't mean that. I mean, an emperor and a prince are suddenly gone, do you think that kid can resist the pressure? And the second and third, in case they really use knives and guns......"

Zhu Gaochi is Zhu Zhanji's father in the end, no matter how strict he was when he educated Zhu Zhanji before, but this is his son after all, the old man is not distressed, he is distressed.

But the old man also said: "That kid of yours is not a fuel-efficient lamp, don't think that the old man is old and deaf." A lot of things in this background are done by that kid in your family. As for the second and third children, can they be the opponents of that kid? Besides, I left more than half of the Fifth Military Camp and the entire Shenji Battalion for that kid in your family. ”

"Don't say anything else, just say that you really went to the battlefield, and that kid of your family won't suffer!"

Listening to his father's words, Zhu Gaochi also said helplessly: "Dad, my son didn't say this, I know that you left the army for that kid." But after all, this is all the army of the imperial court, so it's not okay to die alone? ”

However, Zhu Di sneered and said, "Dead people? Is it dead? When it's time to use knives and guns, I really want to take a good look and see who dares to move! I told them about the second and third children, if they really dare to do it this time, it just so happens that I, the father, also have a reason. ”

Listening to his father's words, Zhu Gaochi still felt that something was not appropriate.

"Dad, you're all faked to death, are you still in command of the army? When the time comes, the battle will really start, you dead emperor, who will still listen to your orders? ”

Facing his son's questioning, the old man Zhu Di said indifferently: "Don't look at the old man, I'm not the emperor now, but if you want to say that the 500,000 army, as long as my old man goes out with a word, the second and third soldiers can't be transferred!" Really, old man, I have nothing to do in the rear? ”

Seeing that the old man was so confident, he was obviously completely prepared.

Zhu Gaochi was not so worried about this, but he said with some puzzlement: "Dad, since you have arranged it, just give the order to let that kid succeed you, why should we hide in this place?" ”

But the old man Zhu Di shook his head, got up and walked two steps, and said: "There are some things, we can't see clearly when we sit on the dragon chair, even if there are people or ghosts standing in front of us, we can't tell clearly, let alone this world." Your little cub is too young, and his talent is good, but it's still too early. So old man, I have something to arrange for him. ”

"This time, you, the prince and I, the emperor, are gone, but you have to take a good look here, what are the ghosts, snakes, and gods in this world, and they will all be eradicated for him at one time! There was also the implementation of the New Deal before, when there was an old man and I was in charge, naturally there would not be any big problems, but now it is different, I don't know how many people hate that kid in your family to the core, and they can't wait to skin him alive. ”

"Can we leave these woes to our children and grandchildren?"

As the old man finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi still had a worry in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Dad, but if that kid wins, and arrests the second and third children, what if he wants to kill him?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di, the old man who was still smug just now, suddenly fell silent.

After a moment of silence, he said, "If that kid really wants to do something to his own family, you, the prince, will have to come back to life." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi immediately burst out laughing.

Then he smiled and said: "Dad, Dad, what do you say you are doing, so that you faked your death and came back to life?" Aren't you playing with the people of the world? The emperors of all dynasties and dynasties, which one is like you. ”

Although Zhu Gaochi knew very well that if Zhu Zhanji really did something to the second and third children, the old man would definitely not let him go.

But at the same time, he also knows very well that his own kid will never kill the second and third children!

Others don't know, but he, the father, knows.

If that kid really knew how to do this, I don't know how many times I had the chance before.

I don't know how many times there are opportunities to get these two directly to the domain.

But this kid didn't do anything.

So now he is talking about it and asking casually.

At the same time, even if that kid really wants to kill him, as long as he doesn't really kill him, the old man will never really do anything to him.

At most, they took him with them and tortured him for seven or eight years.

But no matter what, now that things have come to this point, he doesn't need to think about it anymore.

This messy thing is naturally the old man's own worries.

As for the affairs outside, he, the prince, is already dead, so what does he care.

Now this is the time when the real unofficial is light.

After a lifetime of hard work, it's time to enjoy it.

The only thing that I can't bear is that my wife is still in the dark now, and it seems that I have to find a time to find a way to reveal it to her.

"Huang Yan!"

In the courtyard, the old man Zhu Di suddenly shouted.

Soon, Huang Yan, who was standing outside the door, hurriedly ran in.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhu Di nodded and asked, "Is there any news coming back from the palace and outside the gate?" ”

After Huang Yan thought about it, he said: "Yes, judging from the news that His Royal Highness Taisun came back, he should have arrived in the capital at this time. After consulting with Yang Shiqi and others, Yin Guoji of the Shuntian Mansion increased the city's defense forces. ”

"Before, Yang Shiqi and the reserve soldiers privately mobilized by the ministers of the DPRK and China have also arrived at Shanhaiguan."

After Huang Yan finished speaking, Zhu Di was stunned: "It's gone?" ”

Huang Yan nodded.

Seeing this, the old man Zhu Di had no choice but to say: "Okay, continue to investigate, whether it is in the capital or outside the gate, there is news to be sent over as soon as possible." ”

"Yes."

After Huang Yan left, the old man Zhu Di thought about the situation everywhere now, and couldn't help but laugh at the boss next to him: "Boss, what do you think, what is that kid doing now?" ”

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, and then said: "His grandfather and his father are dead, so they are probably crying and mourning." Or maybe he's comforting his mother. ”

Hearing this, the old man Zhu Di nodded noncommittally, but asked again: "Then which one do you think is more sad about the death of the two of us?" ”

Hearing his father, the king, ask this kind of question that seems to be the mind of a little woman, he couldn't help laughing: "Dad...."

Zhu Gaochi, who wanted to say something, closed his mouth with a smile after thinking about it, and then said: "It must be more sad for your father's death, after all, you have taken him with you since you were a child, and you are the most spoiled by him on weekdays." But I, the father, made a straight face before I died and disciplined him for more than half a year. ”

The old man Zhu Di, who heard this, immediately burst out laughing.

Thinking that the boss of his family had specially trained that kid for more than half a year before he faked his death, he couldn't help but laugh.

But after laughing, the old man Zhu Di still said: "I think that kid didn't cry anyone." ”

Zhu Gaochi, who heard this, was suddenly a little stunned.

"That kid, it is estimated that at this time, he is discussing with those officials of the imperial court how to deal with the second and third children. Your son, don't look at the usual hanging, don't learn and have no skills, but when it comes to a critical time, that kid's methods are not simple, sometimes even the old man I have to obey. ”

When he said this, the old man Zhu Di's face was full of confidence.

But after Zhu Gaochi heard it, he smiled and said, "Dad, you have a lot of confidence in that kid." ”

In the capital.

As the Manchu officials continued to carry out Zhu Zhanji's orders, the sky gradually darkened.

According to Zhu Zhanji's words, before dark today, the team heading to Shanhaiguan will set off.

Meanwhile.

After Zhu Zhanji called Yang Shiqi back, the two also discussed the internal army mobilization of the entire Ming Dynasty overnight.

Although it is not easy to move troops, it is necessary to prepare the men and horses first.

The border armies on the frontiers everywhere, those who should change their defenses, also hurry up to change their defenses.

The troops that can be mobilized are also drawn as soon as possible.

Before the big war, everything is ready.

And these methods that have been negotiated are also for people to go to various places to preach their lives.

The entire capital is like a machine, under the command of Zhu Zhanji, constantly operating.

Early in the morning, when Hu Shanxiang, who had slept all night, woke up, he came to Zhu Zhanji as soon as possible.

Seeing that he hadn't slept all night and was still busy, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "Your Highness, let's go back and rest, although state affairs are important, you can't hurt your body." ”

Listening to Hu Shanxiang's words, Zhu Zhanji also rubbed his eyes after putting down the fold in his hand, and said with a tired face: "Well, I'll go back." ”

"Where's my mother? Did you sleep well last night? ”

Hearing this, Hu Shanxiang also said with a heavy face: "My mother has not closed her eyes since the death of the prince, that is, after you came back yesterday, you fell asleep in the house, I just went on a trip, and I haven't woken up yet." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and instructed: "I guess I'll be very busy these days, and I can't take care of many things at home, you have to worry about things at home, especially your mother, you must not let her stay alone, accompany her more, and if not, go around." ”

Hu Shanxiang also nodded obediently after hearing this.

"By the way, I haven't eaten since I came back yesterday, you ask someone to get me something to eat, I'll squint for a while after eating, and if someone comes, call me."

"Okay."

Although the plan was good, unfortunately, it backfired.

Zhu Zhanji, who had just eaten something and was about to get up to rest for a while, didn't wait for him to lie down, and a person came from outside the door.

"His Royal Highness!"

Although Zhu Zhanji was a little irritable, he still forcibly walked out again and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, there will be a commotion in the Han Palace!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "Because of something, just say it directly, don't wait for me to ask!" ”

The man was frightened, and hurriedly said in one breath: "Before, the imperial court ordered people to take care of the mansions of the King of Han and the King of Zhao, and no one was allowed to enter or exit, early this morning, the Han princess in the palace of the Han King was clamoring to see His Royal Highness and the Prince, saying that if she couldn't see her, she would kill herself in the mansion, and now she is in that courtyard, still holding a dagger in her hand!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhanji's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he said, "Take care of King Han and King Zhao's mansion?" Who put them in care?! ”

The guard replied, "Cabinet Lord Yang, they." ”

Obviously, the guard didn't know that Zhu Zhanji had just returned.

And the moment Zhu Zhanji heard this, he scolded: "Nonsense! The emperor's relatives and relatives, or the Han Wangfu and Zhao Wangfu of the current dynasty, are they taking care of what they say they will take care of!? ”

After scolding, if Zhu Zhanji was on weekdays, he would definitely have to deal with Yang Shiqi first, but thinking of this special time, no matter what Yang Shiqi did, his original intention was for him Zhu Zhanji, so he had to hold back this matter for the time being, raised his hand and said: "Lead the way ahead!" ”

"Yes!"

On the palace of the king of Han.

As soon as he came to the gate of the Han Palace, before he could enter the mansion, Zhu Zhanji heard the noise inside.
