Chapter 394 Not a good friend

Zhu Zhaohui asked the butler to sit down while Zhu Zhaohui poured him tea!

The housekeeper quickly stood up and saluted, Zhu Zhaohui waved his hand, motioning for him to sit down and said.

The housekeeper gathered his thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, let me start from the origin of this matter. There are many rumors about this outside, and many of them may be true!"

"Let's all tell it. I also want to know why such a big thing suddenly happened!" King Lu nodded.

"Yes, at the beginning, it was probably those civil servants and vassal princes who did not want His Majesty to fight corruption, so they wanted to stop it, but if they wanted to stop it, they would need the nod of the Marquis of Luling.

The Marquis of Luling has a great influence on His Majesty, and his contribution is also great, and the New Deal and anti-corruption are supported by the Marquis of Luling. Therefore, if they want to drag the Marquis of Luling into the water, it will take a long time to drag him into the water. Disaster.

The Marquis of Luling is not short of money, nor is he sure of his power. He is only eighteen years old now, and has not yet been married. In addition, Zhen Dinghou has liked this future son-in-law from the beginning, so no one dares to give her to him. Women give him.

Therefore, they could not find any opportunities from the Marquis of Luling, so they began to think of ways to start from other places. But the Marquis of Luling's brother and first cousin were farming in his hometown, so there was no chance. The second cousin was the steward of the Marquis of Luling's mansion. He is an upright person and never takes advantage of petty gains. His fourth cousin serves as the Deputy Qianhu in the Fifth Military Camp. Basically, apart from the military camp, it is the Marquis's Mansion. The others are all very young and follow the Marquis of Luling. Linghou has no chance.

But one person appeared in everyone's field of vision, Prince Zhen Dinghou. He was also Zhen Dinghou's only son and the queen's younger brother. He also had a very good relationship with the Marquis of Luling. The Marquis of Luling was also very fond of this future brother-in-law. like.

Therefore, they may have started to attack Crown Prince Zhending. I don’t know exactly how. I just know that Crown Prince Zhending eventually opened this gambling house with them.

Originally, those ministers were preparing to start impeachment, but at this time, the day after Luling Hou returned from Luanzhou, he went to visit the Zhending Hou Mansion, but did not find the Zhending Hou Crown Prince, so he went to look for him.

The gambling house was sealed and smashed. At the same time, all the princes and princes were shot in the legs and sent to prison. They have not been released yet.

Then I heard that the Marquis of Luling was raising an issue in the court, attacking Chen Xun and others, impeaching the vassal kings for being suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

Now, the housekeepers of the eight vassal kings are all waiting outside the Lulinghou's mansion, hoping to resolve the matter. Many civil servants also want to go to Lulinghou, hoping that this matter will be reduced to a minor matter, but it can be The Marquis of Luling was completely missing.

Those people can't do anything but wait! "The steward simply told King Lu the whole story.

After King Lu heard this, he sat there drinking tea and thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, this Luling Marquis is not a simple man. He is really not a good person. The civil servants have never taken advantage of him. He is even darker than those civil servants. He is also a military general and has won the respect of the generals in the army. Love!

Because those generals discovered that if they went to fight with him, the casualties would be very low. There was no need to consider so many things, the Marquis of Luling would think about it clearly!

Therefore, many generals actually hope to go out to fight with the Marquis of Luling.

Sometimes the old slaves admire this young man. An eighteen-year-old boy has a very high prestige in the army.

Although he is the admiral of the fifth military camp, he has a great influence on the third camp of the capital.

Therefore, this person's strength really cannot be underestimated. My lord, you must not offend this person. I have heard about this person when I was younger. In fact, this person is easy to talk to and straightforward. He doesn't like to beat around the bush. Just do whatever you want. ?

He promoted the military generals and civil servants he was looking at. He didn't let all those military generals and civil servants want to visit him. He just asked them to do their own thing well!

Many people say that His Majesty is where he is today only because the Marquis of Luling is behind the scenes, making plans and going through life and death. Without Marquis of Luling, it would be difficult for His Majesty, and he would not even be a match for Concubine Sun! "The steward continued to say to King Lu.

King Lu sat there and nodded, then asked: "Can you help me make an appointment with the Marquis of Luling?"

"Difficult!" The housekeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head, then continued: "Unless the prince comes to visit in person, then there is a chance. However, Chen Xun, Gao Gu, Hu Ming, Jiang Yuan and others also wanted to visit him before, but he still disappeared. He He actually went fishing with Zhendinghou.

Zhen Ding Hou was very depressed during this period. His son had caused such a thing and he did not dare to plead for mercy. Moreover, Cheng An Hou wanted to break off the engagement.

Zhending Hou only has such a son, so Zhending Hou is probably worried about what to do next! "

"Huh, ha!" King Lu laughed after hearing this.

The housekeeper looked at King Lu in confusion. "Difficult? Worried? That's for others to see! This time Lin Cunde dealt with those vassal kings, probably under the instruction of His Majesty. You said, Lin Cunde and Wang Ying have such a good relationship, Lin Cunde doesn't need so much credit. When the time comes, Lin Cunde will go and intercede. , Your Majesty, can you still punish your brother-in-law? Your Majesty is originally two brothers. The elder brother is still on the grassland, and the queen's brother and sister are left.

Can your Majesty really kill the Queen's brother and the Prince's uncle? It’s just that it looks like punishment now, but it will be fine in a few years! King Lu said mockingly,

When the butler heard this, he quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty is right, that's probably what happened!"

"I can go in person, but if you ask around, there are only a few days left to celebrate the New Year. I still need to see him and hear what he means! However, if other vassal kings come, let's go together , I guess the effect will be better! Just wait, wait two days, I want to meet him in person and see what kind of ability he is!" King Lu sat there and said with a smile.

On the other side of the imperial prison, the eight kings and dozens of county princes were all staying in the imperial prison. At this moment, they were very uneasy and even more afraid of death.

This is a prison, and His Majesty asked them to return to Beijing to explain. They returned to Beijing, but they were not summoned. How can they explain not meeting?

Moreover, they have been here for two days and have not seen any movement from His Majesty. They also asked the Jinyi Guards whether His Majesty would summon them today. How could the Jinyi Guards in prison know such news.

Since there is no news, they can only continue to wait, but the food here is very unpalatable, and when they first came in, they also found that the eight princes and princes were all imprisoned together, lying on the ground. of.

The next day, King Ning Zhu Panjun of Nanchang and King Zhu Jiqi of Chu arrived at the palace first. They also wanted to go to the palace to see Zhu Qiyu, but Zhu Qiyu did not see them and instead sent a eunuch to explain to them.

He said that they could go to King Lu. His Majesty told King Lu about everything. His Majesty is very busy now. It is the end of the year and there are many things that need to be done!

However, their princess can go to the harem to see the empress dowager, empress, and prince.

After hearing this, the two kings let their princess enter the palace, and they went to the palace of Prince Lu.

When they arrived at Prince Lu's mansion, they also heard Prince Lu talk about Zhu Qiyu's attitude.

After King Lu finished speaking, the two kings sat there, frowning and silent.

"King Lu, what do you think about this matter? Do you really want to eliminate the country? It would not be good if the country is eliminated!" King Ning Zhu Panjun looked at King Zhu Zhaohui of Lu and asked.

King Lu Zhu Zhaohui sighed, and then said helplessly: "I think so too, we can't eliminate the country, but if we don't eliminate the country, we must pay a price. It's not the eight kings who pay the price, it's us who pay the price. This price , estimated to be quite large.

Moreover, we still don’t know what His Majesty’s conditions are? I don’t know what His Majesty wants to do to us. After all, we haven’t done anything wrong now. It’s just a matter of the New Deal. If it’s just a matter of the New Deal, you can just support it. Those corrupt officials can just give up. We There will be no excessive losses.

But what I'm worried about is that His Majesty's request may not be these. But if not these, what else? This king would never have thought of it.

Therefore, I want to go to Lulinghou Mansion. I wonder if you know about Lulinghou?

Ning Wang Zhu Panjun laughed bitterly after hearing this!

Chu King Zhu Jicheng looked at King Ning and asked, "Have you ever been in contact with him?"

"No, when Lin Cunde was implementing the New Deal in Jiangxi, I thought that he might come to Nanchang Mansion, but I didn't expect that he would not come at all and was in Ji'an Mansion. Therefore, we have never met. But now King Renben knows that he has a ruthless style of doing things. Those officials will arrest everyone if they say they will, and there is never any mercy!

When he was implementing the New Deal in Jiangxi, I originally wanted to cause him some trouble, but seeing him act like this, I knew that this person should not be offended. If he was offended, it would probably be very troublesome!

I just didn't expect that the Eighth Prince would listen to the words of those civil servants and actually want to frame the Queen's younger brother. Isn't this looking for death? Lin Cunde has taken action, and this time he will have to shed his skin even if he is not dead. Therefore, everyone should be careful about this matter. Our request says that it is better not to eliminate the country. If the country is eliminated, we will probably be in trouble!

This hole cannot be opened. Once it is opened, it will be difficult to close. Moreover, Your Majesty, this is not a good thing! "Ning Wang Zhu Panjun said to the two of them.

"Well, why don't we wait until the other vassal kings have arrived? Let's go to the prison together to visit the eight kings, and then go to Lin Cunde's mansion to hear what Lin Cunde has to say? Or to find out what His Majesty wants to do. "Lu Wang Zhu Zhaohui asked as he looked at the two of them.

The two of them also nodded. Now they can only wait until most of the other vassal kings have returned to Beijing before they can discuss the matter. Now they can only wait.

In the next few days, the vassal kings rushed to the capital one after another. It was King Lu who informed them of these things. In a blink of an eye, it was the twenty-eighth day of the new year. Lin Cunde's house was busy celebrating the new year, and the house was very clean inside and outside. clean.
