high official

Chapter 1180
"Just say Gu is sick and can't get out of bed, let him go back." Zhu Zhanji ordered coldly.

"Ah?" Chen Wu didn't know how many times he had imagined what his Highness's expression would be when he finally got through.But he never expected that there would be no expression...

"Do you want to say it again alone?" Zhu Zhanji snorted coldly, and Chen Wu was agitated, and hurried out in response, stopping Eunuch Liu who had already arrived at the door.

"What? Your Highness is sick? Can't get out of bed?" How could Eunuch Liu believe it?If Zhu Zhanji was really ill, how could the former eunuch run in to report the news with joy and smoke from his ass?
Chen Wu also knew that no one would believe this, so he could only stop Eunuch Liu and said, "Please go back, our Highness is really sick..."

"Chen Eunuch, tell Your Highness, now is not the time to vent your anger!" The so-called Prophet of Spring River Plumbing Duck, Eunuch Liu is the steward of Qianqing Palace, how can he not know that Zhu Zhanji is getting ahead?Therefore, he did not put on airs as an imperial envoy, and said with a look of concern for His Highness: "Let me meet His Highness, our family has something big to report!"

"If you have something to do, tell me that it's really inconvenient for His Highness to meet outsiders." Chen Wu had just been tricked by the little eunuch, how could he let the big eunuch get in touch with His Highness over him?

"The emperor has a decree, our family must present it face to face!" After working as a eunuch all his life, who doesn't know who is so petty?
"It's really inconvenient, Your Highness..." Chen Wu had the character of holding a chicken feather as an arrow, let alone holding an arrow in his hand at this moment. "What's the matter with the father-in-law, let's talk to the younger one, and it's the same for our family to tell His Highness."

The two struggled at the door for a long time, but Eunuch Liu, who was still playing away, took a step back, lowered his head and sighed, "Okay, the emperor is seriously ill, His Royal Highness Xuan enters the palace... now we can let our family in..." As he spoke, he raised his head but Chen Wu's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Eunuch Liu was stunned, as if seeing the brightest star in the future eunuch world rising slowly.

Chen Wu ran back in a hurry, and reported what he learned to the grandson, but Zhu Zhanji was still unmoved: "Gu is already sick, so how can I say yes?" After finishing speaking, His Highness the grandson ignored him. Chen Wu focused all his attention on the painting, wanting to see if there was any way to remedy that ink spot.

Chen Wu was bored, so he had no choice but to turn back and tell Eunuch Liu that His Highness still refused to see him... Eunuch Liu had no choice but to return to the palace to report.

.

The imperial palace, the emperor and the academicians were silent, and there was no sound in the bedroom, except for the tick-tock.

After an unknown amount of time, slight footsteps sounded in the hall, and the emperor slowly opened his eyes and said, "Is he here?"

"Report to the emperor," the eunuch who was sent to summon Zhu Zhanji hurriedly replied in a low voice, "His Royal Highness is very ill and cannot get up."

Yang Shiqi and others shrank their pupils when they heard the words, and Zhu Gaochi's face became even more angry, he snorted and said: "My good son, I am dying, and he refuses to come to see him..."

"The emperor is angry!" Yang Rong hurriedly rescued Zhu Zhanji: "His Royal Highness is indeed seriously ill, and he has to stop giving lectures these days." He was really worried that the emperor would ask, Zhu Zhanji What is the disease?This is not the right confession, where can he answer it?
Fortunately, the emperor didn't mean to ask any more questions.I saw Zhu Gaochi's face turned pale for a while, his breathing became more and more rapid, and he said with a hint of annoyance in his tone: "I know how to cure his illness. Let's draw up a plan..."

"Yes!" The bachelors were all present, and paper and pens were always kept in the bedroom.In a blink of an eye, the eunuchs took care of everything. Yang Rong leaned over the desk, picked up a pen and waited for the emperor to speak.

"Confer Zhu Zhanji as the crown prince, and I will supervise state affairs during the period when I am seriously ill." Zhu Gaochi's voice was intermittent, and it was very difficult to speak. I don't know if it was because of his physical illness or his inner illness?

At this time, all the bachelors were mentally prepared, but they all looked calm, and no one made a fuss.

I saw Yang Rong pick up his pen like flying, and in a blink of an eye, he polished the emperor's dry words into a literary edict.

Then Zhang Cheng immediately used the seal for the emperor, and Eunuch Liu was about to pass the decree again, when the emperor said weakly: "Tell him, if his illness is still not good, I will let his younger brother do it for him."

.

In Taisun's mansion, Zhu Zhanji's expression turned ferocious when he heard Chen Wu's recitation of Eunuch Liu's biography, and he tore the picture scroll in half with his hands!

"Your Highness!" Chen Wu hadn't seen His Highness get angry like this for several years, so he knelt on the ground in fright. "Calm down..."

"It seems that Gu's practice is still not home..." Zhu Zhanji looked at the picture scroll torn in half on the table, and said with a grinning smile: "It's already at this time, and the old man is still threatening me with Zhu Zhanyu!" Said Throwing away the paintbrush in his hand, he said coldly, "Let him in!"

"Obey!" Chen Wu rushed out as if he had been pardoned, and after a while, he came in with Eunuch Liu who came to announce the decree.

As soon as he entered the studio, Eunuch Liu saw His Highness the Grandson, whom he hadn't seen in three years, standing in front of the hall with a smile on his hands. His complexion was surprisingly good, but it was still so dark.How can you look half sick and unable to get out of bed?

"Why don't you bother to lie..." Eunuch Liu slandered secretly, but at this time, it was too late for him to flatter, and he would never offend Zhu Zhanji.Hurriedly pretending that nothing happened, declared the decree to Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji supported Chen Wu's arm, slowly knelt on the ground, and said with a smile: "My son, Zhu Zhanji respectfully asks my father to be safe."

Eunuch Liu said goodbye to the emperor, and then read out the decree of making Zhu Zhanji the prince and ordering him to supervise the country.

Zhu Zhanji kept leaning on the ground until Eunuch Liu finished reading his will before he straightened up.Eunuch Liu and others suddenly discovered that His Highness the Grandson... oh no, now it is finally His Highness the Crown Prince!There were actually two lines of tears hanging on his face!

"Your Highness, don't just worry about being sad, hurry up and enter the palace with this old slave, the emperor is waiting impatiently..." Eunuch Liu urged quickly.

But Chen Wu knew that Zhu Zhanji's tears were not shed for the emperor, but for himself.What he was crying about was something that should have been a matter of course, but it had been dragged on for four full years!
Four years, how many four years are there in life!
.

It was already midnight when Zhu Zhanji appeared in the bedroom.Hearing the eunuch's report, the scholars all looked at the long-lost Crown Prince without hesitation!

I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wearing the Wing Shan Crown and the Panlong Scarlet Gold Robe, slowly walking into the main entrance of the main hall, as if he was not here to see his seriously ill father, but to inspect his own territory.

At this time, no one dared to accuse Zhu Zhanji of his misconduct, so he could only let him pretend.Zhu Zhanji had enough of his pretentiousness, so he went to the emperor's dragon bed and knelt down.The expression on his face was very strange, it seemed to be sad, but it also seemed to be mocking.He said slowly: "I haven't seen you for three years, and the emperor is so ill. My son and minister failed to be filial in front of the bed. He really deserves death!"

Although Zhu Zhanji was kneeling in front of the bed, he could still look down on the emperor from a high position, which made the seriously ill Emperor Hongxi feel extremely uncomfortable.Not to mention Zhu Zhanji's demeanor and his neutral tone.

Originally, Zhu Gaochi wanted to say something to ease the relationship between father and son, but all of a sudden he lost all mood, and said aloud: "I can't die for a while, you have plenty of time to be filial." After speaking, he turned to several university students. Shidao: "The crown prince will entrust you to you in the future. For big and small matters, you can wait for the monarch and his ministers to discuss and deal with them. There is no need to report to me again."

"Your servant waits to obey the order!" Several university scholars responded in unison, and they waited for half a night, just waiting for this sentence.

"Go on..." Zhu Gaochi seemed to have exhausted his last strength, closed his eyes and fell into a drowsy sleep.

"The emperor wants to rest, and I will leave!" Zhu Zhanji, Yang Shiqi and others resigned from the hall.

At this time, the stars outside the hall were turning, and it was already pale in the east.Yang Shiqi stayed up all night, but he was full of energy and said: "If your highness can hold on, we will go to the cabinet to do business!" Zhu Zhanji wants to supervise the country, and according to the rules, he will find a side hall in the palace to work, but it must be too late to prepare .

"Lonely young and strong, how can you not hold it?" Zhu Zhanji smiled and stretched his arms, looked at Yang Shiqi and said, "It's the chief assistant and the elders, do you want to catch up on sleep first?"

"National affairs are important, and I can bear it." Yang Shiqi also looked at Zhu Zhanji with a smile, and the complacency flowed in the words of the monarch and his ministers.

When he arrived at the cabinet courtyard, Yang Shiqi invited Zhu Zhanji into the first assistant's room alone, closed the door, and paid homage: "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness, finally come to the end of all hardships!"

"It's all hard work, it's just that the father needs someone to do the dirty work." Zhu Zhanji sneered, but even so, he supported Yang Shiqi with both hands, and said emotionally: "If it weren't for the shoufu's perseverance and painstaking planning all these years, How can I be alone today? In the future, I will share wealth with you!"

"Your Highness's words are wrong. The old minister is His Highness, not for his own selfishness, but for the ancestors, the community, and the people of the world!" Yang Shiqi said seriously: "As long as Your Highness can be diligent in governing and loving the people, and cultivate civil and military affairs in the future, I will be satisfied as a minister." Already!"

Although Zhu Zhanji still does not believe that there are such pure people, noble people, and people who are out of vulgar interests in the world.But who can't act?He was so moved that tears filled his eyes. He and Old Man Yang were so close together. If it wasn't for the same sex and a big age difference, they would probably have kissed each other.

"Your Highness," after exchanging feelings, Yang Shiqi got straight to the point: "The most important thing right now is to get rid of the bad consequences of this great defeat, so that people in the world will only know that there is a prince, not just Wang Xian."

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and said to Yang Shiqi: "The chief assistant must have made a plan long ago, and it's all up to you."

"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness, but whether the punishment is fine or not, it should not be moved down." Yang Shiqi was serious and told Zhu Zhanji his countermeasures one by one.

Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shiqi had conspired for a long time, and they knew some things well, so they didn't have any objections to Yang Shiqi only berating the Duoyan people and hardly punishing them.
