231. The responsibility of the monarch

If you have an accident, isn't the second brother who is most qualified to inherit the throne in this Great Zhou world?

"Father! She's for her father! Ji Hu slapped the case suddenly, and the loud voice startled Zhao Bohu.

"Yes, that's right!" Ji Hu Huoran left the table and rose angrily: "No wonder she personally wrote a letter to send Shang's father to Yingguo as a king and eunuch, it turned out that this was the reason!" ”

As soon as this layer of window paper was opened, Zhao Bohu was also cheerful, and said in response: "The king said that the queen mother first sent the second prince to Jianghan and was under the protection of the Marquis. He set up rat Gu in the palace to spread the disease, and the target is you, the king? ”

"Isn't it?" Ji Hu couldn't hold back the anger in his chest, and raised his voice and said: "If Gu unfortunately dies of the epidemic, it is convenient for Hou Hou to protect Shang's father to return to Haojing to take the throne." At that time, not to mention Tonglu Mountain, even if he wants to be the leader of the Jianghan Alliance, he will take what he wants, isn't it? ”

Zhao Bohu gasped when he heard this: "The poison of this plan has never been heard of for eternity. ”

Ji Hu turned around and walked to the side of Wang's case, picked up the bamboo stick and put it in his palm and checked it, as if he was testing its weight. Zhao Bohu naturally knew what he was thinking, and asked tentatively: "The king is angry, what should be done about this matter now?" Should Prince Tug be released? ”

"Alas-" Ji Hu sighed slowly: "Young father, the rampant and my sect Zhou are feuds, and they can't destroy me quickly." Even if Tu Ge is released, will they keep their promise? But if you don't let go, you are afraid that this epidemic will spread out and become an uncontrollable situation. After all, Lone really doesn't want that woman to get her wish------" He shook his head: "In the final analysis, Lone has not yet reached the age of pro-government, and only has part of the power to supervise the country." Such a major matter still needs to be decided by the young father. Does the young father think this Tuge should be released? ”

Zhao Bohu was about to open his lips, when suddenly Ji Duoyou's long call came from outside the hall: "Please ask the king to be sympathetic to the people of Xuanning Palace, and release them to Tuge, in order to exchange the epidemic prescription and save the dying life, my king is mercifulβ€”β€”"

Ji Huyi frowned: "What?" Hasn't Wang Cheng Sima returned to the palace to be on duty? ”

Calling the official name directly, instead of "Brother Duoyou" or "General Ziliang", proves that King Zhou's heart is very unhappy. Zhao Bohu hurriedly covered for his friend: "Wang Rongyu is really the most powerful sentence by Ziliang's side, and the general is infected with the epidemic and is bedridden. Many of the guards guarding Xuanning Palace have fallen ill, and the epidemic has become a foreign vine, and the Ziliang Center is suffering, so it will be so unrecefuling, and I hope that the king Haihan! ”

"Oh? It turned out to be a deep love for the robe, and Lone thought it was for something else that was not worthy! Ji Hu said with a thorn in his words, waved his hand and said: "That's it, the young father decides!" ”

"According to the minister, it is better to follow the request of this sign and release it to Tuge. Anyway, keeping this person as a hostage is precisely for the purpose of a critical moment, if the fox does not keep his promise, his song is also in his absence. At present, this epidemic has the potential to spread outside, and it will really be too late if you don't try to be afraid! Zhao Bohu was worried.

Ji Hu was about to say "just follow the young father's ------", when he was interrupted by a panicked little chamberlain: "It's not good, the king, it's not good." Wang Cheng ordered the Lord to send in the news, saying that ------ said that Sister Shaoji and Princess Zhongji were sick! ”

"Huh?" Zhao Bohu and Ji Hu were both taken aback, and asked in unison, "What disease?" ”

The little chamberlain was stunned for a moment, knelt down and cried: "The slave maid heard them say that it is the same symptom as the disease in Xuanning Palace. ”

"What?" The center of Ji Hu is like a thorn, and I only feel that the Venus in front of me is rising, and the sky is spinning.

"The king, the king------" Zhao Bohu stepped forward to support Ji Hu, and kept comforting: "Don't worry, the king will go into the palace to check, and the medical department will diagnose the pulse and prescribe ------"

Ji Hu shook his head, his eyes suddenly stopped hesitating, and said categorically: "Young father, immediately send someone to Huaizitai to release Tu Ge, and ------ quickly"

"Don't worry, the king will arrange it." Zhao Bohu got up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Ji Hu: "Has the young father already thought about who to send?" ”

Zhao Bohu paused slightly, and then replied angrily: "The minister thinks that since Ziliang went to Qiaoling to contact, then the other party will definitely pursue his whereabouts." It's better to send him to Huaizitai, which will save us the trouble and time of contacting the lynx. What does the king think? ”

"That's all there is to it." Ji Hu's words were full of helplessness.

The thunder shook, the clouds filled the sky, and the strong wind from the north and south swept away the fumigation in the air in one fell swoop, making people feel refreshed and happy.

Ji Duoyou set off with a black canopy wagon, and the rain was coming, and the strong wind blew his black cloak into a round wind bucket, swinging on the back of the yellow husper. But he obviously didn't care about this, and just blindly urged the driver to hurry------

Zhao Bohu watched his friend's convoy leave under the porch, and then turned around and entered the temple to resume his life. saw that Ji Hu was already dressed neatly and was already waiting in the hall. Zhou Shanghuode, dressed in a red robe as bright as Danxia, wears a coral bead uncrowned jade crown, and pedals on the dark deerskin boots, lining the young man's face like a crown of jade, and his eyes are meteors.

"King, the wind and rain, is this going out?" Zhao Bohu was very puzzled.

"Hmm." Ji Hu nodded solemnly: "Lone wants to go back to the royal city." ”

"Ah, my lord, by all means." Zhao Bohu waved his hand in a hurry: "The epidemic has just begun to spread, and the king will return to the palace at this time, won't he fall into danger?" The minister knew that the king was concerned about Shaoji and Wang Mei, so the minister would go back to the palace to deal with it, and he would do his best to save him. The king must not return to the palace! ”

"But in the royal city, there are all Lone's relatives and sisters, and when this time of crisis, Lone can't let them have nothing to rely on!" Ji Hu suddenly became furious, and smashed his fist on the pillar of the temple, and the golden dragon with teeth and claws on the pillar was knocked out of one tooth.

"The king," Zhao Bohu knelt on the ground and admonished bitterly: "The minister knows that the king is concerned about the royal city, but 'the son of a daughter does not sit in the hall', and the king is a member of the society, how can he risk his life?" Besides, wouldn't this make the conspiracy of the Hubei people succeed? What's in it for me? The king must not be brave with the blood of the horseman! ”

"Does the young father think that Lone is the blood of the horseman?" Ji Hu calmed down a bit, stood with his hands behind his back, and said firmly: "Definitely! Young father, please think, if you don't return to the royal city alone, what will the people living in the palace think? Now that the epidemic has spread out of Xuanning Palace, then next, the entire palace city, and even the royal city, will be closed. Everyone is allowed to enter but not to leave, and at that time, thousands of people are trapped in the lonely city, sitting and watching the people around them die one by one, what will they think? Won't they mutiny? If they desperately want to rush out of the palace gate, young father, can you be sure that you can control the situation? ”

"This ------" Zhao Bohu hesitated, he really didn't have this certainty.

"However, it will not help the king to return to the palace!"

"No, young father." Ji Hu pointed in the direction of the palace: "The royal capital and the palace of the royal city are all based on the word 'king' as the core, and if there is a lonely place, everyone will have the backbone, and they will feel that they have not been abandoned by the dynasty, and they will live in the lonely city with peace of mind." If you are not in the royal city, your heart will be in turmoil, and you will have nothing to rely on. ”

"But it's too dangerous!" Zhao Bohu retorted: "Although the king is blessed with Qitian, but this epidemic is dangerous, if the king wants to return to the palace, he also needs to wait for Ziliang to get back the epidemic prescription, and then think about it in the long run!" ”

I only heard a loud "boom", and a "zhi" shaped lightning pierced the night sky, illuminating the young man's bright face, and his dark eyes were sharp. He shook his head: "It's too late, Lone must return to the palace now." Young father, you have taught Gu since you were a child, and as a king, you must have the responsibility of a monarch, and you must have a sea-like mind to tolerate all the people in the world. The reason why Lone did this was not for the courage of the flesh, not for the love of his children, but for the fulfillment of the responsibilities of a king. What's more," he smiled: "It is a legend in the world that when a lonely person was born, he carried the wind and rain, and the mountains and rivers moved, and he was the 'son of destiny'. If Heaven bless me, He will keep me safe and sound. If God doesn't bless me, no matter how my young father supports me, it's useless. ”

Zhao Bohu heard his words like a stone, and knew that it was useless to persuade again, so he changed his tone and said: "Since the king has made up his mind, the minister will swear to follow him to the death." The minister is willing to return to the palace with the king, and live and die together. ”

"No!" Although Ji Hu was greatly moved in his heart, he flatly refused: "The young father is responsible for the country, what is the point of entering the palace with the orphan?" Both monarchs and ministers are trapped in the lonely palace, so who will the Great Zhou world entrust to? The young father should sit in the prime minister's mansion and deal with the important affairs of the eight directions, so as to stabilize the country, appease the people's hearts, and help my Zhou room survive this catastrophe. If Gu ------" he paused: "Gu has sent someone to send the third brother to Fengyi Palace in case of accidents." If God does not bless the lonely, the fourth brother emperor's father is the son of the heir, and the young father can support him as the heir. My Zhou Dynasty has always been 'the heir to the long', the emperor's father is the heir, when the two candidates, no one is qualified to compete. ”

"The king------" Zhao Bohu couldn't cry anymore, pulled Ji Hu's sleeve and choked up: "Does it really have to be like this?" ”

"The brave wins!" Two teardrops rolled down from Ji Hu's black and white eye sockets and smashed on the flat gold brick floor, making a "snapping" sound. He was ruthless, broke free from Zhao Bohu's clenched fingertips, and walked out proudly.

Zhao Bohu suddenly burst out and shouted: "Hu Er------"

"Young Father------" Ji Hu muttered, since the canonization of the crown prince, Zhao Bohu has called himself from "His Royal Highness the Prince" to "King" and "King", and he has not called himself like this for ten years. The heavy rain fell "with a whoosh", and the cold rain air hit me in all directions, and my vision was blurred, I don't know if it was because of tears or because of the rain. Ji Hu was ruthless, didn't look back, just shouted: "Da Zhou Tianxia, please ask the young father!" ”

Taimiao and Miyagi are only one block apart, and when they saw the king coming from a distance, the palace guards bowed down one after another: "See the king!" "Sonic boom roof tiles.
