Chapter 320: I want to force him to wear a yellow robe
"What is the prince talking about?" At the end of the courtyard, several figures greeted her, and Ye Xingyun recognized the old man who spoke first as the person who asked her to deliver the letter.
"Ah, let's talk about some interesting things in the past, that is, there was an old story when a waiter in the official department was killed in the front yard and spilled blood all over the courtyard!"
「……」
There was silence in the crowd.
Zhao Feng also groaned slightly, and finally said uncertainly, "This adult...... Here?"
Everyone looked in one direction in the corner, where a slightly rickety body was trembling slightly.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh: "The adult is disabled and strong, and he is still running for his family and country, and this king admires him!"
"Lord Wang...... False praise ......"
Ye Xingyun couldn't hold back his laughter, but fortunately, it was too dark for anyone to see.
"Lord Wang, please."
"Good!"
Ye Xingyun wanted to follow Zhao Feng inside, but was stopped by a few people, and the old man who asked her to deliver the letter was also embarrassed: "Little girl, thank you for helping the old man deliver the letter, but tonight we have to discuss important matters, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient......
Before Ye Xingyun could speak, Zhao Feng, who was walking in front, shouted: "It's okay, it's okay, she's my best friend, let her in!"
The old man was overjoyed: "There is such a fate!"
"Yes, this king didn't expect such a fate."
After speaking, he glanced at Ye Xingyun and beckoned everyone to enter.
The room is not small, but it looks very cramped because it is full of people, and Zhao Feng was put in the first place by everyone after he came in.
There are a few candles lit on the wall, and the lighting is limited, so many people can't see their faces clearly when they stand in the shadows, Ye Xingyun felt a little depressed as soon as she came in, but with her vigilance, she didn't find that there were people practicing martial arts here.
"Lord, the traitor has entered the palace, and the emperor is now more and less auspicious, so the prince still has to make plans early!"
Zhao Feng said, "This king has already made plans, even earlier than you think."
"Oh?"
Everyone was overjoyed, secretly suppressing the excitement in their hearts.
The old man who delivered the letter took the opportunity to say, "Since the prince has decided to win the throne, then we will fight with the prince against the water, and fight to the death with the traitor Meng Jun!"
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Feng hurriedly said, "I said that I planned it, but I didn't plan it!"
"What does the prince mean?"
"Since the year I left Beijing, I have been inquiring about the whereabouts of the former crown prince in many ways......
"Lord Wang!" A tall man interrupted him, "You don't believe those gossips, do you? The first emperor and the crown prince had already killed Jiangnan twenty years ago! I heard that Meng Jun is looking for a fake prince in order to control the government, it's okay to deceive others, we won't be fooled!"
"Yes! Even if it's a true prince, who can guarantee that he is not the next Zhao Ying!"
"How can someone as talented as the prince be worthy of sitting on the throne!"
"That's right! We only want to support the prince! We can't trust anyone else!"
"No one else has the majesty of the prince!"
The corners of Zhao Feng's mouth twitched slightly, he couldn't laugh a little, it was this group of people who chased him in Beijing and scolded him back then, and now it is this group of people who are full of praise for him, they are not embarrassed and they are a little ashamed.
"Everyone," Zhao Feng stood up, suppressed the noise and smiled helplessly, "I know your hearts, and please understand my good intentions!" Seriously, when you praise me, my face is red."
Ye Xingyun glanced at him quietly, obviously he was not popular, this person was really easy to lie.
Zhao Feng said again: "As a descendant of the Zhao family, I have never thought of seeking the throne! I didn't think about it back then, and I still haven't thought about it now! After I left Beijing, I inquired about the whereabouts of the former crown prince, and I contacted many forces and exchanged letters with you in preparation for the prince's return to Beijing, but in the past five years, I have learned nothing."
The old man said, "I know that the prince has good intentions."
The corners of Zhao Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't listen to others praising him.
"I also know that the prince has no intention of taking the throne,
But now in this world, it is not a question of whether the prince wants to fight for it, but the world, the people, and us, I have chosen you, and I ask the prince to accept the order in danger!"
"Please accept the order of the prince in danger!"
Everyone in this room knelt on the ground, as if they wanted to force him to wear a yellow robe.
This made Zhao Feng embarrassed, and while saying that he didn't dare or not, he was busy supporting these important ministers.
Although Ye Xingyun was a little confused since he came here, he had more or less guessed the cause and effect now.
She didn't know how sincere and humble Zhao Feng's words of refusal were, but she thought that if Zhao Feng really became the emperor, at least it should be better than the current Zhao Ying, right?
At worst, he will also sympathize with the suffering of the people.
Zhao Feng pulled everyone up, and looked embarrassed: "I have no ambitions, I just want to be an idle prince, under the general trend, please forgive me for not being able to take on this heavy responsibility!"
After that, he said in the direction of the door, "Lord Liu, come on!"
Everyone looked at the place where the door was not illuminated by the lamp and candle, and saw a figure slowly walking out of the shadows.
Liu Chang was wearing a black dress, tall and clear, he rarely wore black clothes, but he thought that he put on black clothes in order to go out without attracting attention.
He has passed the age of standing, faded from the green that belongs to young people, and his gestures are as calm as ever.
"Liu Chang?"
The latter gave his hand, which was regarded as a salute to everyone.
Someone among the officials has already said cool words: "You are worthy of being the emperor's lackey, your nose is really smart, you smell it, and you want to find a new master?" The apostasy is so fast, and you are embarrassed to say that you are a man who stands up to the sky?"
"Not as fast as you."
"You!"
Liu Chang glanced at him coldly, and then swept over the angry eyes: "I didn't come here today to rob you of the credit for supporting the new monarch, don't worry, I'm just entrusted by someone."
"Yes, although Lord Liu is a little old-fashioned, he has a ...... heart" Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "It's quite true, he is here to answer your questions today!" Let's ask Master Liu to elaborate!"
After that, he slapped himself on his face, but he made the old ministers around him half dead.
"Lord Wang, is his heart still real? Then you should have a snack!"
Zhao Feng's eyebrows and eyes curled: "Okay, I wrote it down, and it will be long tomorrow."
"Say it! What the hell are you doing?" One of the generals deliberately raised his voice to Liu Chang, and his face was full of words about his disdain to him!
Liu Chang froze down, and then he firmly spoke: "The first emperor prince is still alive, the real prince, just outside the city."
"Hah! Another prince of the first emperor!" The military general took a sip: "I also said that I am also the prince of the first emperor!" Let me tell you, what you play is all the leftovers of Meng Jun's play, and the prince they are looking for is in the palace at this moment!"
"yes...... Lord Liu, it's been more than 20 years, who can guarantee that the prince is still alive? Even if he is alive, how can he prove it?"
"Besides, the crown prince of the first emperor is a royal bloodline, and King Yunxiang is also a royal bloodline, why does the prince have to inherit the throne? King Yunxiang can do the same!"
"No, no," Zhao Feng said modestly, "My father is a concubine, and his name is not right."
"How's it going? Isn't that Zhao Ying also a concubine, and Tian shamelessly climbed to the throne ......
"If the king climbs up, won't the adults scold me tomorrow for being shameless?"
The man hurriedly said, "How is this the same, didn't the big guy just say that the prince is in danger!"
Zhao Feng still waved his hand and refused, urging Liu Chang to continue.
Liu Chang said, "I know you don't believe what I say, but if I say that this person is raised by Shen Lang, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, you should believe it, right?"
"What Shen Lang Hai Lang! I don't know! I don't even know what you're talking about!"
"Martial Arts Alliance Master? Isn't that a matter on the rivers and lakes, and you will take it to the court?"
"Lord Liu,
We're so confused about what you're saying!"
In the cramped room, some people shouted impatiently, but others fell into deep thought.
Ye Xingyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Shen Lang is the leader of my martial arts alliance, when the first emperor was in Jiangnan, the alliance leader had seen him for the last time."
Only then did everyone look at the girl who had been standing quietly beside Zhao Feng, but they didn't pay attention, this time they looked at it, although they were dressed as a peasant woman, but they looked beautiful and had bright eyes, but they didn't look like an ordinary person.
Zhao Feng smiled and said, "I only guessed that the prince was in Jiangnan and searched for people in Jiangnan without success, but Meng Chaodui had long known about the past of the alliance leader and the first emperor, so he sent his son Meng Tang to the Wulin League to find the prince."
What he said was so conclusive that it took everyone a long time to digest it.
"Meng Tang? Second son, Meng Linxiao?"
"Exactly."
"So, the crown prince in Meng Jun's hand is really fake?"
"Of course," replied Liu Chang: "Meng Jun failed to assassinate the crown prince, he killed his father Meng Chaodui, and the plan was revealed, so he had to find a fake to help him ascend to the throne."
"I know that you don't have a score in your hearts," Zhao Feng said, "You are afraid that the prince is fake, and you are afraid that the prince is not a Ming monarch, I, Zhao Feng, promise here today, if this is the case, what you ask this king to do at that time, this king will be duty-bound!"
"Then why don't you ......?"
"Huh? I didn't say it's now, if it weren't for the people of the world, I wouldn't have been out for five years looking for the whereabouts of the crown prince, so you should know that I have no intention of taking the throne."
What he said was categorical, but people didn't know how to proceed.
Seeing that they were silent, Liu Chang seemed to have accepted this fact, so he said, "Right now, the crown prince is outside the city, and I came today to discuss with you how to bring the prince into the capital at the invitation of the second prince."
"Meng Tang? A Meng Jun has already injured our vitality, and another Meng Tang?"
"I heard that his two brothers have long turned against each other, and besides, Meng Tang has no soldiers in his hands, so even if he enters Beijing, he can handle it."
Everyone looked at the official who spoke, and saw that he was young, and they knew that he didn't know where to play in the mud when the second son was in Beijing.
"Speaking of soldiers...... We don't have enough soldiers and horses to compete with Meng Jun."
"Yes, I'm afraid that if we lose it then, it won't count, and it will also affect the prince......
Liu Chang didn't have a good breath and said, "Haven't you forgotten that under the imperial power, what is the most important key?"
