Jiajing's edict was sent directly to Jiangnan, but the celebrant did not hand over the edict directly to Zhu Zaili.

Instead, he directly gave the order to McFuku and Lu Bing.

Inside the Nanjing Garrison Hall.

Ti Wei and the inner servant have all been resigned by Lu Bing and Mai Fu, and Jiajing's edict is placed in front of the two.

"Lu Dudu, what does the emperor mean...... You get the idea? ”

After following Jiajing for so many years, the two had already figured out the temper of the Son of Heaven, and when the edict was sent directly to the two, the two had already guessed a rough idea, but McFuk was still a little uneasy, and then asked Lu Bing again.

Lu Bing bowed slightly: "Ning Ke is in the edict now, even if he is in the edict prison, His Majesty is going to put Ning Ke into the edict prison, what it means is naturally clear." ”

It's nothing more than Jiajing's meaning to get rid of Ning Jue before returning to Beijing, but Jiajing, who is a father, doesn't want to offend Zhu Zaili, so let Lu Bing look at it and find a way.

"What about the prince?"

For Lu Bing, this edict is also simple.

You don't want to offend your son as a father, so I'll offend you?

"Let's cut it first and then play, it's a big deal to finish this matter, I will tell my father to get old, Ning Ke is here, I will prepare, and there will be Lao Mai's father-in-law when it comes to changing the field."

Lu Bing is the same age as Jiajing, and Zhu Zaili is not like the kind of emperor who will harm his descendants, and Jiajing should still make some arrangements for Lu Bing.

It just so happened that Lu Bing was already a little tired of this kind of day when he didn't dare to sleep too hard.

Hearing Lu Bing say this, McFuy breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Lu Bing is the "milk brother" of the Son of Heaven, and it is not too much to be regarded as the elder of the prince.

Mai Fu is just a slave of the Son of Heaven, if he really offends the prince, the end will be much worse than Lu Bing.

"Then our family will thank Governor Lu first, but as soon as our family moves, I'm afraid that the prince will also be alarmed."

Lu Bing took a deep breath and said leisurely: "It's nothing more than a dead person, it's enough to have some kung fu." ”

"When my side is over, I can pass through the prince."

With Jiajing's edict, Jinyiwei, Yumajian, Dongchang and the clan relatives who were stranded in the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River took action.

Jinling, which had gradually restored order, did not realize that a bigger storm was already poised to break out.

On the Heavenly Street, Ti rode everywhere, and the royal princes who had nothing to do in the Zongren Mansion had disappeared.

Holding the official letter, the high arch that walked on the heavenly street couldn't help but sink.

"Uncle, I'm afraid something is going to happen."

Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment, and then suddenly whispered: "It's not good, we have to hurry up and enter the palace." ”

The two were by Zhu Zaili's side day and night, and it was impossible for the imperial court to bypass the two of them if there were any moves in Jiangnan.

With such a large-scale action by Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Zongren, it is only possible that Jiajing crossed Zhu Zaili and gave orders directly to Lu Bing and Mai Fu.

It's not hard to guess why this was done.

I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven is going to stop the new law, or not just stop the new law.

When the two of them arrived at Qingning Palace, the attendant outside Qingning Palace stopped the two.

"Two gentlemen, the ancestor has an order, and today His Royal Highness should draw up the crown prince's side concubine......"

Zhang Juzheng poked his head twice, but he didn't see any trace of Feng Bao, and frowned: "Where is Gonggong Feng?" ”

The little chamberlain said with some hesitation: "Feng, Father-in-law Feng has other errands. ”

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng glanced at each other, and said to themselves: "We have something important to discuss with the prince, and we missed a major event in the court, which one will be guilty?" ”

"Two gentlemen, there are rules in the palace."

"Do you just say you let it go or not?"

After that, Gao Gong sat down and was about to break in, and these chamberlains of Qingning Palace came over and wanted to stop Gao Gong and the two outside the palace.

Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong were rarely open-minded, and they broke into the palace by themselves.

After the two entered the palace, they saw Zhu Zaili surrounded by two old eunuchs in the palace.

As soon as Gao Gongfang saw him, he immediately shouted: "I am waiting for the secret edict of the Son of Heaven, and I have something important to inform the prince, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Not only the two old eunuchs, but even Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Zaili were completely stunned by Gao Gong's voice.

Zhang Juzheng also understood more and more.

Gao Gong, this person dares to say anything.

I saw the two old eunuchs look at each other, and then immediately bowed at the same time and said in unison: "Your Highness, the slave and maid retire." ”

After the two left, Zhu Zaili was able to get out.

"Mr. Gao, ...... the Emperor's secret edict?"

Gao Gong stroked his beard and said: "Very secret edict, it is made up by the ministers, and the guards and Dongchang outside His Royal Highness's palace are all being transferred, and Jiangnan is afraid that there will be big changes." ”

Zhu Zaili suddenly came back to his senses.

"After having breakfast this morning, Feng Bao has not come back, and these two have been urging Gu Xuan to choose a concubine, and Gu has already seen that something is wrong, but he can't get out."

Gao Gong frowned and said: "That's not right, how long can these two people hold His Highness back." ”

"Unless Governor Lu and Gonggong Mai really want to hide the matter from His Highness, they don't need to delay it for long." Zhang Juzheng subconsciously said casually.

As soon as Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, Gao Gong and Zhu Zaili already sensed that something was wrong.

Because they thought of an answer at the same time.

Homicide!

"Not good!"

"Prepare the horses!" Zhu Zaili didn't even care about changing his clothes, and ran out behind Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong.

The two old eunuchs who were guarding outside the palace saw that the situation was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

"Your Highness, you haven't finished your selection yet."

"You two will each kneel for two hours first, and go now!"

One of the old eunuchs tried to speak, but was stopped by the other.

"Whoa!"

The monarch's father asked him to stop the prince, and the best way not to offend both ends was to stop it, but he didn't stop it.

finally found an excuse to withdraw, and if you don't listen to the order, you will find yourself dead.

——

Outside Dali Temple.

Zhu Xizhong was bored eating melons.

saw Lu Bing walking towards Dali Temple with a team of guards.

Zhu Xizhong raised his head in astonishment and asked, "Wenfu? Why are you free? ”

"Zhenqing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered you to enter the palace, and there are important matters to discuss."

It's just that Zhu Xizhong, who has been confused for half his life, said this time: "Please ask Wenfu to give me a special message, Your Highness, I have diarrhea after eating watermelon, and I can't enter the palace today." ”

"Cheng Gong, I mean, the prince has an edict, you can see the prince go now, and it will be fine."

Zhu Xizhong also looked at Lu Bing and said, "Wenfu, the prince shouldn't have summoned my one hundred and tenth brother together, right?" What do you mean by bringing so many people here? ”

Lu Bing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said:

"Cheng Gong, Cheng Gong, you said that you have been confused for most of your life, how can you be so sober today."

Zhu Xizhong threw away the watermelon in his hand, and then said: "Is it possible, I'm not confused, I'm pretending?" ”

"It could have been possible, but if you say that, it should be unlikely." Lu Bing smiled helplessly: "I brought someone here, of course, I was afraid that you would not leave." ”

Lu Bing lowered his head and whispered in Zhu Xizhong's ear: "Back then, the Son of Heaven toured the south to Chengtian, it was me who carried Your Majesty on my back, you supported the Son of Heaven, and we escaped from the sea of fire with the friendship of our lives, listen to my brother's advice, let's go." ”

"But it's also our brother who is at the border, let's just leave, and we can still see our brother when we come back?" Zhu Xizhong stood up on his own, then looked at the guards behind Lu Bing, and then said: "Wenfu, to be honest, as long as I don't leave, you people may not be able to rush in." ”

"That brother can only be offended." As soon as Lu Bingjing raised his hand, the guards behind him set up a bed crossbow from the crowd.

Zhu Xizhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and scolded in a low voice: "You kid is really ruthless, why don't you just set up a bombardment." ”

"Didn't drag."

Lu Bing looked at Zhu Xizhong and said loudly: "Cheng Guogong, the last word, are you going or not?!" ”

Zhu Xizhong directly took off the Yanling knife and threw it into the cell, and then sat at the door of the cell.

"Come, you release the arrows, I'll sit here, and no one wants to go in today."

Just when Lu Bing and Zhu Xizhong were in a stalemate outside the prison, a team of guards had already touched the roof of the prison.

The two armies fought, and Lu Bing may no longer be the opponent of Zhu Xizhong, who had been on the battlefield.

But this is not a battle between the two armies, it is a killing.

Zhu Xizhong was still a little tender after all.

Listening to the sound of the crossbow string on the bed, Rao is Zhu Xizhong couldn't help but close his eyes.

Zhu Xizhong had seen the power of this heavy crossbow with his own eyes.

One arrow comes, even three or four armor soldiers standing side by side can be used as barbecue skewers.

It's just that what is waiting for Zhu Xizhong is not the voice of Liya breaking through the sky, but the voice of Zhang Juzheng.

"There is the governor of Lao Lu who told the people of the Jinyi Guard to withdraw first."

Zhu Xizhong opened his eyes in amazement.

Only then did he find that Zhang Juzheng had been stopped by several guards a few steps away from Lu Bing.

"Leave him alone! He's just a waiter! When do you have the right to put my beak on the brocade guard? ”

Zhang Juzheng sighed helplessly, then looked at Zhu Xizhong and said, "Chengguo Gong, you should invite Zhu Zhenfu down from the roof, it's windy above." ”

Zhu Xizhong was shocked when he heard this, and then stood up and scolded towards the roof: "Zhu Xixiao! You kid get out of here! Do you still want to see your ancestors? If you don't roll down, the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family won't accept you, and you can raise yourself up by yourself! ”

Lu Bing gritted his teeth and glared at Zhang Juzheng angrily: "Zhang Juzheng, do you know what you are doing?" ”

"Governor Lu, you'd better explain it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Before the words fell, the voice of another team of armor soldiers came from behind Lu Bing, Lu Bing turned his head to look, and then found that it was Zhu Zaili who came with Zhang Wei and Liu Xian's Zhenwu camp.

"Governor Lu, Jin Yiwei is doing business in Beijing, why do you even have a bed crossbow on your shoulder?"

When Lu Bing saw Zhu Zaili, he had to say: "Your Highness, the ministers act in accordance with the secret edict of the monarch's father." ”

"Lu Bing, the governor of Jinyiwei, disobeyed the orders of the superiors, acted alone, and was sent to prison."

Lu Bing was stunned and said: "Your Highness, the minister is serving the secret edict of the monarch's father!" ”

"Lone knows, the secret edict is what Lone can't know, so Lone doesn't ask, but Lone's position as the prince has not been abolished, so he can only work hard for Lu Dudu."

After weighing it for a long time, Lu Bing threw away the embroidered spring knife in his hand and stood up: "The guilty minister takes the order." ”

"But the monarch has another clear order."

"What order?"

"Temporarily abolish the new law, this year's grain and straw, transport grain as usual, and return north immediately after the announcement of the prince."

Ning Jue, Lu Bing can't kill in a hurry, because Jiajing didn't have an edict for this matter, and Lu Bing was at a loss.

But the matter of stopping the new law and the prince's return to the north cannot be delayed.

Zhu Zaili's brows frowned, and after a long time, Lu Bingcai looked at Zhu Zaili and asked, "Your Highness, the monarch's father ordered the ministers to escort the ministers back to the north, and after the ministers return to Beijing, can they be imprisoned again?" ”

"No! Cheng Guogong, still stunned! Don't hurry up and take down Lu Bing! ”

Lu Bing was stunned for a moment, and then thought about the logic.

When the prince returns north, he will definitely follow him back.

But Zhu Zaili still had to forcibly take himself into custody.

Just one thing.

- Zhu Zaili didn't want to obey the order.

"Your Highness! Think twice, one misstep, eternal hatred, it's not a pity to die! ”
