Zhu Di thought about it for a while, and he suddenly figured out one thing.

Whether it is for the crown prince Zhu Gaoxian or the Hengjing Emperor Zhu Gaoxian, from beginning to end, Shen Qingyu is just a double-edged sword that can be discarded at any time.

Shen Qingyu has worked diligently for Emperor Hengjing for fifty years, and at the age of more than seventy, he is still thinking about usurping the throne, which is really not easy.

But you can also think about it from another angle: Emperor Hengjing has prostituted Shen Qingyu for fifty years.

In the past fifty years, Emperor Hengjing used Shen Qingyu to do an unknown number of dirty and ugly things, and even used Shen Qingyu to fight a huge territory, several expeditions to the west, the Holy Roman Empire and the French Kingdom, all of which were fought by Shen Qingyu.

It took Shen Qingyu fifty years to finally survive to the moment when Emperor Hengjing was about to die in his later years, but what he was waiting for was not a yellow robe, but hundreds of axe men who were ambushed in the Qianqing Palace, and finally cut Shen Qingyu into a puddle of flesh.

However, Emperor Hengjing did not treat Shen Qingyu badly, he gave Shen Qingyu the title of duke, glory and wealth, everything, but in the end, Shen Qingyu was greedy and played himself to death.

The double-edged sword hurts others and oneself for the mediocre lord, but for people like Emperor Hengjing, it is an invincible blade.

He could crush Shen Qingyu at any time.

……

Shen Qingyu sat alone in front of the eucalyptus, the night was thick, and in the dead darkness, only a green lamp on the eucalyptus lit the dim light.

In the dim candlelight, a letter could be seen with ink still wet.

This is a letter written by Shen Qingyu to the king of the valley, in which he clearly informed the king of the valley that the imperial court was going to attack Changsha, and it was attacked by the Jinyi guard from the inside.

But he was very clever, he only wrote in the letter that the imperial court was going to take action against Changsha, and did not mark the specific content, in case King Gu handed over the letter to the imperial court after the mutiny, and the imperial court found himself according to the content of the letter.

Despite this, as long as King Gu is a little vigilant, Zhu Gaoxian's plan can be killed in the womb, and Zhang Muzhi and others will also be buried in Changsha.

When Zhang Muyi dies, His Royal Highness will realize that the most reliable candidate for Jinyiwei at the moment is still Shen Qingyu.

How can the interests of the imperial court be compared to his own interests.

It is true that Zhang Muzhi is his friend, but if this friend becomes his wayblock, he will not hesitate to betray him.

However, Shen Qingyu hesitated for a long time, but still chose to crumple the letter into a ball, put it on the candle flame and light it, and let it burn to ashes.

He gave up betraying Zhang Muzhi, not because he felt that he owed His Highness too much to do this, nor because he was reluctant to give up Zhang Muzhi's friend.

Shen Qingyu was just afraid, even if he did it seamlessly, His Highness would find out about him.

He didn't notice that in the darkness, there was a shadow that blended with the night, and a pair of pure black eyes were behind him, silently watching his every move.

It wasn't until Shen Qingyu burned the letter that the shadow left without leaving a trace.

……

Ah Qi walked to an attic in the East Palace, and said to the prince across the window: "As you expected, Shen Qingyu did have a different heart, but in the end he still chose to give up, probably because he was afraid that you would find out about him." ”

Zhu Gaoxian in the back room leaned against the window, repaired the branches and leaves of potted plants with scissors, and chuckled: "He's a smart person." ”

Ah Qi hesitated for a moment, and said: "This person's city is too deep, it is a hidden danger, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, I can keep an eye on him once, but it is impossible to keep an eye on him, in case he has a different heart next time, what should I do?" It's better for you to let me kill him directly, and save more trouble in one hundred times......"

"It's easy to kill someone, but what about after killing someone?"

Zhu Gaoxian said leisurely, "Killing people is the most despicable and useless means, and only when you have to do so will you use killing to solve the problem." ”

Ah Qi was speechless, thinking that anyone is qualified to say this, but you Zhu Gaoxian is not qualified.

Are there still few people you killed, out of Liaodong in the east, you killed bloody and bloody wind in Nuer Gandusi, and built Jingguan to kill the name of the northeast; Attacking Korea, the king of Korea became a dead city; Tens of thousands of Japanese troops were annihilated, and none of the shogunate or the royal family survived; Attacking the southwest, more than 100,000 people did not leave a living mouth, surrounded and annihilated!

You killed hundreds of thousands of people, and now you tell me in reverse: killing is the most useless means.

Are you polite?

Zhu Gaoxian didn't seem to be conscious, and continued to say to himself: "The mediocre lord chooses the minister, the good lord uses the minister, the mediocre monarch chooses the virtuous minister and the minister, and the monarch with good intentions and mountains and rivers will use different courtiers in different positions." ”

Ah Qi said: "Don't you feel embarrassed that you are so boastful? ”

Zhu Gaoxian touched his chin and said, "Come here, let me slap you twice." ”

"Thank you, farewell!"

……

Zhu Gaoxian smiled, turned around and saw Zhang Yingzhen combing her long black hair with a wooden comb in front of the bronze mirror, the beauty in the mirror, a pair of eyes like a silver moon and cold, red lips like cherry red, and a slight frost on her pretty face that can be broken, making people can't help but want to take a bite.

He stepped forward, grabbed the princess's white and tender twing, took the comb, and combed his wife's long hair.

Zhang Yingzhen looked at the young man and the beauty in the bronze mirror, a match made in heaven, and couldn't help but smile slightly, in her eyes with him, there was only strong love.

I thought it was just a political marriage, but I didn't expect that both of them met the people of this life.

"When I was a child, I used to sit on the roof of Yanwang's Mansion and look out at the Shuntian Mansion in winter, sprinkled with snowflakes like broken rice paper. In an instant, there is no past and no present, only you can see, the world is white, and the palace wall is red. The snow fell silently, and the lead was washed away, as if the immortals were drunk and crushed the white clouds. ”

Zhu Gaoxian lowered his head, pressed it against his wife's cheek, could smell the orchid-like body fragrance, and said softly, "This kind of drifting snow always reminds people of the excitement of children's snowball fights, and the leisure of three or two friends making tea and wine, is not bleak, only gives people warmth and hope." ”

If it is a person, burn a pot of wine and drink it; If it's a family, just shake a pot of mutton. Lazily looking out the window, people are slow, time flies slowly, thousands of thoughts slowly condense in the snowflakes, slowly fall, and then slowly swept up by the wind. ”

The years are a little vicissitudes, there are a few winds and snows in the world, looking at the snowflakes from afar, dreaming back to ancient China. A sudden snowfall made the city white-headed with you and me. ”

Zhang Yingzhen said softly: "The past has been buried deep in the fireworks, but only Yu Jun is always there." ”

Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxian bent down and hugged his wife horizontally, and said, "In the dead of night, shouldn't we make some noise?" ”

Zhang Yingzhen exclaimed in surprise and said shyly: "Don't make trouble, the child is still asleep." ”

"Wouldn't it be better to fall asleep?"

The night was thick, and there was a touch of crimson in the window, and I didn't know if it was the blush of the beauty's cheeks or the high-spirited heat of the man.

Outside the window, Ah Qi leaned his back against the wall, hearing movement in the room, and under the cold mask, flushed covered his snow-white neck.

Ah Qi muttered in his heart: "Shameless, phew! ”

"After two or three hours, isn't it just a tremor in the end!"

……

"Nephew, try this dress."

On the palace in Changsha, King Gu walked up to King Chongyang with a box and said.

The young King Chongyang was a little curious: "Uncle Gu Wang, what kind of clothes are you?" ”

"You can see the best clothes."

"Really......"

King Chongyang took the box and opened it, it was okay not to look at it, but when he saw it, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, and the wooden box in his hand fell to the ground, and the clothes inside came out.

This is a dark crown robe, weaving the sun, the moon, the dragon, the stars, the mountain, the fire, the Chinese worm, and the eight chapters of Zongyi. The sun pattern is on the left, the moon pattern is on the right, and the dragon is on both arms, both of which are ascending dragons. The stars are back, and the mountains are under the stars, which are five mountain peaks side by side. Just by looking at it, I feel dignified and majestic, because this is an emperor's crown robe, also known as Xuanyi.

The crown dress is the most solemn set of costumes in the dragon robe, the main body is black, and the emperor will only wear the crown dress when he brings civil and military officials and royal relatives to worship heaven and earth.

King Chongyang trembled and said: "Uncle, where did you get this crown suit, you secretly hide the emperor's crown clothes, this is to punish the nine clans!" ”

"Zhu Jiu Clan? Who's Nine Clans, you and I are both members of the Zhu family, if you punish the Nine Clans, wouldn't the emperor and the crown prince also be counted among them? ”

The king of the valley said surgingly, "The dragon robe must not fall to the ground, pick it up." ”

King Chongyang hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't dare to touch this thing, uncle, you can spare me." ”

"I'll let you pick it up!"

The King of the Valley suddenly shouted, startling the King of Chongyang.

He sneered: "Virtuous nephew, these days, you have eaten, drunk and enjoyed yourself in my palace, and my uncle has not treated you badly, right?" I told you before that if one day my uncle and I needed your help, you immediately agreed. Coincidentally, now Uncle I need your help. ”

King Chongyang had an ominous premonition: "Uncle, what do you want me to help you with?" ”

King Gu grinned and said, "It's very simple, I want you to pretend to be someone." ”

"Pretending to be whom?"

"Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen."

There was a loud bang in King Chongyang's mind, and it was blank, and he was stupefied.

He never thought that such a rebellious remark would be uttered by the King of the Valley.

"Uncle Gu Wang, my nephew has taken his leave first!"

King Chongyang didn't care about anything else, so he wanted to be happy, "My nephew has been entertained by his uncle in Changsha these days, he has been taught, and he thinks about his own mistakes, and now he wants to go back to Chengdu to confess his mistakes with my father, and my nephew misses the Shu Wangfu in Chengdu very much, so I won't stay long, and I will leave!" ”

He ran to the door, but retreated into the house.

But I saw that a sword-wielding general who came up from behind the door was Zhang Cheng, the commander of the Huguang Division. And behind Zhang Cheng, there were countless dead soldiers in armor, blocking the way of King Chongyang.

"Nephew, don't be in a hurry."

King Gu said gloomily, "You come to Changsha to find me, Uncle Gu Wang, I will entertain you with delicious food and drink without saying a word." Now that your Uncle Gu Wang is looking for you to do you a small favor, you are here reluctantly, you say, is this reasonable? ”

I'll put my words here today, this crown dress of Emperor Jianwen, you wear it, and everyone is very happy. If you don't wear it, you'll be guilty of old sins! ”

When King Chongyang heard this, his heart was half cold.

He is now repentant in his intestines, and he hates why he didn't listen to his father in the first place, and honestly stayed in the Shu Wangfu in Chengdu.

No matter if he stays closed all day, his father is for his own good.

However, he was young and ignorant, he always felt that his father was persecuting him, and desperately wanted to escape from the Shu Palace, he thought that he had broken free from the cage, but he didn't know that the cage of the Shu Palace, was the safest fortress. After coming out of the Shu Palace, the outside world is so dangerous that any wave can drown him.

Now stepping into the Gu Wang's Mansion, he thought that what greeted him here was a sea of blooming flowers, but under the sea of flowers, there were hidden chains stained with mottled blood, and it was an even darker purgatory.

Although King Chongyang did not know what the purpose of the King of the Valley was, he knew that this was a darkest path, and the end of darkness was an even darker death.

People, who are protected by something, are restricted by anything. What can keep you out of sight is also sheltering you from the wind and rain.

……

After King Chongyang was forced to put on a crown robe, King Gu was stunned.

It's so similar, it's just, it's the same.

If he didn't know the truth of the matter, he might really think that the one standing in front of him was the Jianwen Emperor.

The king of the valley said to Zhang Cheng, the commander of Huguangdu on the side: "See, this is Emperor Jianwen!" ”

Back then, I deliberately opened the Jinchuan Gate to let Emperor Jianwen go and let him hide in my mansion, and now I will explain this clearly, so that I can take you to seek wealth together. ”

Zhang Cheng lowered his head and said, "Yes, what the prince said is the truth." ”

Of course he knew that this Emperor Jianwen was a fake.

Flowers are not flowers, fog is not fog, virtual and real, is Emperor Jianwen true or false, does this matter?

What really matters is to convince others that this is Emperor Jianwen!

What is good for them is true, and what is not good for them is all false!

Gu Wang said: "You go and prepare, over the years, we have recruited troops, set up lieutenants, built warships and crossbows, and trained sailor Daniel Zhang, just to seek a great cause, and now everything is ready, and big things can be expected." ”

In the name of Emperor Jianwen, the official announced that within the four seas, in the name of supporting the country and righteousness, he would crusade against Zhu Di and Kuang Fu Sheji! ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Cheng nodded, but suddenly regretted it in his heart.

He helped the king of the valley to rebel, thinking of being the hero of the dragon and worshipping the king, but if the big thing failed, what was waiting for him was undoubtedly the butcher's knife at the entrance of the vegetable market.

However, the matter has come to this point, and there is no turning back, only one way to go to the dark.

……

Zhang Cheng walked out of the palace from the back door and followed the path to the Dusi Yamen.

He has walked this alley countless times, and few people know it, this is because his identity is too sensitive, he is the commander of the imperial court in the land of Huguang, if he has an ambiguous relationship with the Gu Wangfu on the surface, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the imperial court.

Suddenly, a figure faintly appeared in the darkness, following Zhang Cheng's steps and walking forward quickly.

Zhang Cheng turned his head suddenly, but he felt that it was dark in front of him, he just wanted to shout, but he felt a sharp pain in his head, and then he felt the heavens and the earth spinning, and he was sleepy.

He was kept in a sack and went down with a stick, and Zhang Cheng was unconscious on the spot.

After the person fainted, the sack was opened.

Several unknown people watched and whispered: "Is it him?" ”

"It's him, it's not wrong, Huguang commanded Zhang Cheng, our Jinyi guard in Huguang has been staring at him for two years, and he has run to Guwang's Mansion hundreds of times during this period, so he must have something to do with Guwang."

"Okay, take the people away!"
