Chapter Ninety-Seven: Secret Discussion

Jiang Ning originally felt that it was too dangerous, and he had the heart to dissuade him again.

But seeing the determined look on Zhu Houzhao's face, he hesitated, and suddenly changed his words when the words came to his lips:

"Your Majesty really plans to go to danger in person?"

"It's nature! I am the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the people of the world, and the guardian of these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

This is a responsibility that I can't escape and can't escape! I have an obligation and a responsibility to protect my people!

Jiang Shiyu, do you want me to be a puppet emperor in this deep palace who can't see the Daming rivers and mountains for the rest of my life, or a promising son of heaven who can personally protect this trillion Li people?

You'll definitely support me! ”

"The minister swears to follow!"

Jiang Ning's heart inexplicably swelled with a wave of agitation and relief.

Isn't this the emperor he wants!

It's like a child who doesn't know anything about the world, and suddenly one day he grows up and takes on the responsibilities that he should carry.

Words can't describe that feeling.

Zhu Houzhao saw that Jiang Ning finally agreed, and couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaim: "Okay, good, with you supporting me, I will rest assured." ”

After saying that, he shouted outside the hall and said, "Come on, prepare lunch, I want to eat with Jiang Qing." ”

Jiang Ning was stunned, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Eating with the emperor is a great honor, and even a few scholars may not be able to have it.

If it spreads, I'm afraid it will cause a wave again.

After the two chatted for a while about the specific ways to leave the capital, many little eunuchs walked in with lunch in their arms.

Zhu Houzhao beckoned Jiang Ning to sit down, and suddenly patted his head again and said:

"It's just the two of us eating, and it's a bit boring. In this way, come on, go and call the two beauties of Zhou Ruo and Xirong. ”

Xiao Huangmen answered, and hurriedly left to summon him.

After a while, the two stunning women walked in gracefully.

is still one cold and the other lively.

The two women saluted Zhu Houzhao, and then sat down after saluting Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but glance at them.

It seems that these two people are really liked by Zhu Houzhao.

I heard that the queen of the main palace and the two concubines almost didn't see Zhu Houzhao's face.

But they were able to eat with him twice a day.

Among them, the grace can be seen.

After eating for a while, Jiang Ning really couldn't stand the greasy relationship between Zhu Houzhao and the two girls, so he whispered to him:

"Your Majesty, what Shi Cai said is too important, as Your Majesty said, we need to do it secretly.

It is Yichen who wants to go and discuss with Scholar Jiao first, he is loyal to the country and understands the righteousness, and he will definitely help in this matter. ”

"That's the best."

Zhu Houzhao nodded.

After Jiang Ning left, he still couldn't hide his joy at leaving the palace, and his eyebrows fluttered.

Seeing his face, Xi Rong couldn't help but glance at Zhou Ruo, and said curiously:

"Your Majesty, what has happened to you, so happy?"

"Haha, a great thing!"

Zhu Houzhao is a fifteen or sixteen teenager in the end, and he can't hide things in his heart, and he can't help but have a desire to share with the two women who are close day and night.

After thinking about it, he finally said, "I tell you two that you must not spread the word. ”

The two girls nodded hurriedly and listened with bated breath.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving the palace!"

Zhu Houzhao was so happy to dance.

Xi Rong and Zhou Ruo glanced at each other again, and they could both see the light in each other's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them hugged Zhu Houzhao together, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, why are you about to leave the palace in a good manner......"

Jiang Ning hurried to the Jinshen Palace, but he didn't know that Zhu Houzhao was so big that he told the two theater girls such a confidential news.

"Lord Jiang? How do you have time to come to the office? ”

Jiao Fang was dealing with the affairs of the cabinet, and when she looked up and saw Jiang Ning entering, she hurriedly greeted her.

"There is a great deal to discuss."

Jiang Ning said, glancing at the few clerical petty officials around him.

Seeing this, Jiao Fang hurriedly asked them to retreat and closed the door of the palace.

"My lord, what's going on, so nervous?"

After Jiang Ning sat down, he immediately explained that Zhu Houzhao was going to leave the palace and leave Beijing.

Jiao Fang was stunned when she heard this, and in the end she couldn't keep her mouth shut.

"This, this, how can this be? Your Majesty, he, oh, you should persuade you! ”

Jiang Ning shook his head and said, "Master Jiao, the matter has been settled, so you don't have to say this kind of thing anymore." The top priority now is how to get His Majesty to leave Beijing smoothly. ”

Hearing this, Jiao Fang knew that the matter could not be disobeyed, and sighed: "But this courtier will never agree." ”

"Therefore, I have decided with Your Majesty to leave the palace in secret.

The three battalions of the Beijing Division, the 12 regiments and battalions, the two east and west factories and the most elite backbone forces of the inner factories were then transferred to form an army of 5,000 people.

With me as a messenger, I smuggled His Majesty out under the banner of going north to the labor army.

Jiao Fang nodded and pondered: "My lord, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, after arriving in Datong, you should contact Zhou Nan, the governor of Datong, and inform him of this matter."

He is the highest commander of the military affairs of Zanli Datong, and it is more appropriate to have his help. ”

"That makes sense.

In addition, the other two scholars should also be informed, but not now.

Otherwise, after the army has successfully arrived in Datong and the wood has been completed, Master Jiao will tell Li and Yang, the two scholars.

When the time comes, it will be up to you. ”

"Xia Guan understands."

Although Jiao Fang was embarrassed, she could only bite the bullet.

Just as the two were discussing, there was a sudden sound of conversation outside the hall.

"This official is here to deliver the document file to Lord Jiao."

"You put it here first, Lord Jiao and Master Jiang are discussing important matters, and they are not allowed to trespass."

Jiang Ning heard a somewhat familiar voice, as if it was Yan Song's, and immediately shouted, "Let him come in." ”

The small yellow door outside answered loudly.

After a while, the door of the hall opened, and Yan Song walked in cautiously.

Jiang Ning looked at his figure with a smile on his face.

Since this future powerful minister took refuge in him, he can be regarded as conscientious and loyal.

In particular, after he was transferred to Tobe Langzhong, he was responsible for farming, which made great efforts for him to promote new crops in Shaanxi, Jiangnan and other places.

Under the pressure of the head of the household, he was stunned to carry out this matter.

So Jiang Ning is very pleasing to Yan Song.

His wife also often visits Li Yuner and other daughters, and takes the wife's route to maintain the relationship between the two families.

Jiang Ning has no objection to this.

This shows Yan Song's obedience.

"Xia Guan has seen Master Jiang and Master Jiao."

Jiang Ning beckoned with a smile:

"You came just in time, I have an important matter here to discuss with Master Jiao, you can listen to it and give some opinions."

Yan Song said yes and sat down carefully.

And after hearing about the specific matters, he looked at Jiang Ning even more gratefully.

Being able to tell yourself such a confidential thing shows the trust you have in him.

As Jiang Ning and Jiao Fang's discussions continued to advance, Jiao Fang suddenly proposed the secret establishment of the reserve.

It means that after Zhu Houzhao leaves, he needs to leave a secret decree to set up the prince.

In case he can't come back, with his edict, the ministers can also support the new monarch to ensure the transfer of power and no major turmoil.

And if he came back, he would revoke the decree and treat it as if nothing had happened.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning frowned tightly.

Could it be that if you set up a prince, you will be able to ensure stability?

What's more, as long as you plan well, the risk can be minimized.

So Jiang Ning didn't want to do this from the bottom of his heart.

This will make him feel sorry for Zhu Houzhao.

Without waiting for him to speak, Yan Song preemptively said: "Never!" ”

"Oh? Why not? ”

Jiang Ning looked at him, his eyes full of encouragement.

Seeing this, Yan Song was relieved, and hurriedly explained:

"Let's not mention that with Lord Jiang personally leading the troops to protect His Majesty, the risk of an accident can basically be abandoned.

His Majesty has only been on the throne for half a year, and the people's hearts have not yet been completely attached.

But if a courtier has any different intentions and reveals some news to a certain vassal king, won't Your Majesty be even more in danger.

And if it is not established, even if the courtiers know about it, they will only pray day and night for His Majesty's safe return to prevent political turmoil. ”

Jiao Fang nodded again and again when she heard this, and cold sweat even oozed from her forehead:

"It's extreme, it's extreme, the old man almost caused a big disaster. Then there is no need to discuss the matter. ”

Jiang Ning glanced at Yan Song appreciatively.

I can't say that I can add more burdens to him.

Yan Song understood the deep meaning in Jiang Ning's eyes, and was overjoyed in his heart, and once again returned his eyes with gratitude.

After discussing with the two of them for a while, Jiang Ning came out of the palace.

Seeing Bai Wenqing waiting in the sedan chair, he said:

"It's been a long time for Wen Qing to wait."

"It's all a subordinate business."

Jiang Ning smiled and patted him on the shoulder and sat in the sedan chair: "Let's go." ”

The sedan chair driver listened to the order and hurriedly got up the sedan chair.

As they walked to a bustling market, a black-clad assassin suddenly stabbed at him with a sword.

But it was not Jiang Ning who was assassinated inside, but Bai Wenqing outside.

"Protect your lordship!"

Bai Wenqing let out a loud shout and drew his sword to fight with him.

He could see that the man in black was a woman, and she was very similar to Yang Yue'er who he had seen before, and he was more and more sure that it was her.

I couldn't help but feel extremely impressed by Jiang Ning's clever calculations.
