King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Break all laws with one force.

With the absolute advantage, just push forward all the way.

Let’s not talk about this matter.

This was true for Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi.

Almost all the military generals had old ties with Zhu Gaoxu, and their relations were more or less good.

Almost all the civil officials are supporters of the boss and have a close relationship with him.

Even if the remaining people had no previous ties with Zhu Gaoxu and the Crown Prince, and did not belong to either side, the Crown Prince and Zhu Gaoxu joined forces on this matter, and most people in the court agreed with it.

This is already an inevitable trend. As long as you are not a fool or someone with a mental problem, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to dare to make any discordant voice at this time. The only thing that can be done is to cooperate honestly.

For this reason, even if I feel uncomfortable in my heart.

But it is harmless and is unlikely to cause any trouble.

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, but those who watch are clear.

Have to admit.

Previously, the city was closed and martial law was imposed, and house-to-house inspections were carried out.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi had thought about it, but they were thinking about certain things and had certain concerns, and finally they felt that this was not a good idea.

But for them, this requires them to take many things into consideration.

After the analysis, Zhu Gaosui, as a bystander, had to admit after a frank discussion that the two of them had really thought too much about this issue.

Things are not as complicated as they think.

This plan is indeed the best and most reasonable strategy at present.

After a brief moment of thought, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi's originally furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and the remaining gloom on their faces disappeared without a trace.

then.

The two of them subconsciously looked at each other, and came back to their senses at the same time. Their eyes fell on Zhu Gaosui who was leisurely drinking hot tea not far away. Their expressions were full of excitement, and they laughed:
"Hahaha"

"Okay, okay!"

"Old Third is indeed someone who worked in the Imperial Guards. His analysis of this incident really opened our eyes!"

"In this matter, it is indeed true that we two were obsessed with appearances."

"You're making a simple matter too complicated."

"It is just as you said. We have all the advantages."

"As for those stinky rats hiding in the sewers, there is no need to worry too much."

"One force can defeat all laws."

"How can a stinky rat who only dares and has the ability to plot in a dark corner stir up any storm?"

After hearing this.

Seeing two people with excited expressions.

Zhu Gaosui slowly put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at the two of them with a hint of curiosity on his face, an intriguing smile appeared at the corners of his slightly raised mouth, and then he shook his head slightly.

Actually, I was too lazy to bother with the two of them on this matter, nor did I express any appreciation for their words of praise, nor did I feel elated by it.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke quietly:
"okay."

"Since both of you have no objection to this plan."

"no."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"Big Boss, you guys aren't expecting me to be the vanguard and arrange the current affairs, right?"

"I think you two have an idea of ​​whether I can do it or not!"

"Moreover."

"I just rode thousands of miles from the border, and I am exhausted from the long journey."

"You two can't possibly not even give me a little rest time!"

"Even the donkeys that ordinary people raise to pull the mill can't be used like this, right?"

"This is so tiring."

"so."

"That's all I have to say. Please do as you please."

"I need to have a good rest, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company."

Say it.

He picked up the cup lid and gently covered it, his face showing fatigue, and he yawned from time to time to show his tiredness.

His actions and words clearly showed his intention to drive the guest away.

In this regard.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but nodded slightly, but they didn't dwell on the matter any more. Naturally, they had no intention of staying or asking Zhu Gaosui to go with them to make the arrangements.

After all, Zhu Gaosui was in such a condition and had to travel so long to get back to the capital, so they naturally couldn't do anything too excessive.

and.

It is enough that the purpose of their coming today and the answers they wanted have been achieved.

As for the remaining matters, in fact, for the two of them, it didn’t matter much whether Zhu Gaosui was involved or not.

after that.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi slowly stood up from their chairs and bowed to each other:
"Okay, okay, okay. I understand!"

"I know, Third Brother, you've had a hard time on the journey."

"Let the two of us do this!"

"Just take a good rest, recuperate, and recharge your energy."

"I won't bother you anymore."

"Otherwise, it will seem like we two, your brothers, are deliberately criticizing you."

Say it.

The two of them didn't linger any longer and walked out side by side with big strides.

Wait until the two of them leave.

Sitting upright in the main seat, Zhu Gaosui, who was originally feeling tired and a little listless, suddenly lost his tired look, and was replaced by a solemn expression with a hint of sarcasm and disdain. He murmured in a low voice:

"What you say is better than what you sing."

"Did you two really not expect this, or are you really the ones in charge who are confused?"

"Do you really think I'm a fool and I can't see anything?"

"Let's talk about this."

"Isn't it because you don't trust me?"

"Do you really think that you two don't know when I will set off, where I will arrive, and when I will return to Beijing?"

"Isn't it because you didn't do anything for such a long time, waiting for me to return to Beijing, that you were worried that I would do something bad outside or behind my back, and you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to catch me?"

"Now that we are back in Beijing, you two can act with confidence."

"You don't have to worry about me tripping you up. I'll be standing in the middle to supervise you two. With a balance point in the middle, you can prevent someone from doing something bad in secret and sabotaging you from behind."

"It's really a good plan, a good plan!"

Having said this, he paused, his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, and continued in a low voice:

"If the old man hadn't put the golden hoop on us."

"I'm too lazy to come back so early."

"That's all."

"Let's see how you two deal with this matter."

"It's either an overseer or a balance point."

"I stood still and watched the show quietly, which was not a problem."

That's it.

After a long while, Zhu Gaosui stopped talking, slowly stood up from his chair, hummed a little tune leisurely, and disappeared into the hall with brisk steps.

……

Outside Prince Zhao’s palace.

Both Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but look back at the closed door behind them.

After a brief pause, Zhu Gaochi took the lead in retracting his gaze, then paused for a moment and asked in a deep voice:
"Second brother..."

"How credible do you think what the Third Brother said just now is?"

"Is it just to please us, or..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him indifferently, a hint of teasing flashed across his face, and he said with a smile:
"Didn't he move out the old man?"

"I think it should be true."

"Even if there is some falsehood in it, it is not that false."

"certainly……"

"If you don't believe it and are worried, didn't the Third Brother tell you?"

"You can write a letter and ask the old man for clarification."

"This matter is the old man's place."

"If we travel day and night, we can make a round trip in about eight days."

"You decide for yourself!!"

Zhu Gaochi: “…”No!

See, is this human language?
Eight days of running back and forth?
Please, Yingtian City is still under martial law!
If we really do this, it will take so much time going back and forth, and the entire Yingtian City will be under martial law for at least half a month.

By then.

After such a long time, I am afraid that even if there is no public resentment or anger, it will be created.

What the hell!

Even if it succeeds, the person is found and the crisis is resolved.

But given the old man's character, he couldn't expect to get any better results.

Being scolded is a simple matter, but if things go wrong, he will be grounded directly.

It's totally not worth it.

"Second brother, I'm going to be serious with you."

"you……"

Zhu Gaoxu did not beat around the bush and said directly:

"I'm also serious."

"Whether you believe what the Third Brother said is up to you."

"I believe it anyway."

"If you don't believe it, you can do it yourself."

Say it.

Zhu Gaoxu was too lazy to pay attention to this hypocritical guy. He waved at him and walked towards the carriage.

See this situation.

Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses in an instant, his expression changed, a trace of anxiety flashed across his face, and he trotted behind him, calling out from time to time:

"Hey hey..."

“Second brother, second brother…wait for me, wait for me.”

"Why are you walking so fast?"

"you……"

"Isn't it just a matter of talking?"

"It's too urgent."

.........

at the same time.

The place where Ling Lao of the White Lotus Sect lived.

Liu Xu was outside and hurried into the other courtyard.

Elder Ling, who was resting with Xiao Tian, ​​couldn't help but look gloomy after being disturbed, and said with a hint of displeasure:
"What happened?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"You're already so grown up, but you still don't know how to be steady?"

"Even when the pressure is great, I remain calm."

"Have you forgotten everything I taught you in the past, or turned a deaf ear to it?"

Liu Xu, who had hurried in, heard the scolding and noticed the displeasure in Ling Lao's face. His expression changed involuntarily and he quickly apologized:
"That's what Elder Ling taught me."

"Disciple realizes his mistake."

After hearing this.

Mr. Ling didn't dwell too much on this matter.

After all, Liu Xu was his disciple, whom he had personally raised, and he knew his character well.

If there is no major change or extremely urgent matter.

He absolutely shouldn't be so panicked and shouldn't be so rude.

Then, he waved his hand to signal him, and then said:
"Tell me about it."

"What happened to make you like this?"

Get approval.

Liu Xu did not pretend and quickly reported:

"Reply to Mr. Ling."

"I just got the news."

"The entire Yingtianfu City has been placed under martial law. Only entry is allowed but no exit."

"Moreover, the Prince of Zhao, Zhu Gaosui, who accompanied Emperor Yongle on the expedition to Mobei a few months ago, has also returned to Yingtianfu City today."

"Just now, Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu and Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi went to the residence of Prince of Zhao."

"No one knows what the three of them are discussing."

"According to normal logic."

"Yingtianfu City is under martial law, unless something unexpected happens."

"The next move by the government will probably be to conduct a carpet search of the entire Yingtian City."

"Disciple is worried..."

"This blanket search may cause us to be extremely disadvantageous."

"so……"

After hearing this.

Originally leaning on the armchair with a leisurely look, Ling Lao's expression suddenly changed. He sat up straight and said in a deep voice:

"What did you say?"

"Prince Zhao has returned to the capital, and Yingtian City is under martial law. Will there be a carpet search?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xu did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and nodded heavily, saying:

"Yes."

"If nothing else happens."

"According to the nature of the government, they will take action this afternoon at the latest."

"so……"

have to say.

This matter was really unexpected for Mr. Ling.

He had calculated it accurately when planning this matter.

The two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi were suspicious of each other and guarded against each other.

It should be unlikely to do such a thing.

But he never expected that Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui would come back at this time instead of earlier or later.

The lack of balance between Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi was instantly filled after Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui returned to Beijing.

It can be said that it completely breaks the barrier between the two.

After a brief moment of daze, Elder Ling calmed himself down, pulled his thoughts back, and said in a deep voice:
"When are we going to take possession of this house?"

"To rent or to buy?"

"What is the name of the owner of the house as registered with the government?"

"answer me!"

“These issues are particularly important.”

"hurry up."

Asked several times in succession.

Liu Xu was stunned by the question. He waited for him to reply without any hesitation and said hurriedly:
"Reply to Mr. Ling."

"This house was purchased years ago."

"After the assassination of the King of Han, our Yingtian City's forces were almost wiped out."

"The headquarters has begun planning to build a base and forces in Yingtian City."

"Then I have chosen this house."

"The owner of the house said so last month when we arrived in Yingtian City."

"The headquarters sent people to collect some silver coins and sold them to us."

"Now, this house is registered under the disciple's name."

Get a definite answer.

Ling Lao, who originally had a solemn expression, couldn't help but let out a long breath. The gloomy look on his face slowly dissipated, and then he smiled unconsciously and said:
“Okay, okay…Okay!”

"Great, great."

"In this case, I am not afraid. In this case, I am not afraid."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

"If the government wants to investigate, let them do it."

"As long as they were not purchased this month, we are not afraid of their investigation."

"Even if they have great abilities, they can't trace it back to us."
