high official

Chapter 357
Zhu Zhanji knew that his grandfather was indeed the master of heroes through the ages.This is not an exaggeration, Zhu Dixiong is a man of great talent and ability to plan and make good decisions. Even if he loses his status as emperor, he is still a great man of his generation.But being scheming is paranoid, and Wang Xian wanted him to use this to make the emperor think that someone was framing his father, so that it was possible to prevent the situation from collapsing.

Zhu Zhanji thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible. Of course, the main reason was that he couldn't find another way, so he could only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor. He looked at Er Hei and said: "You have worked hard, go first Rest, let Gu think about it again."

"Yes."

After Erhei went down, Zhu Zhanji thought hard for a long time before making up his mind, calling in his personal guard Liu Xu, looking at the loyal face, and said for a long time: "Liu Xu, how long have you brothers been with me?" year?"

"It's been five years since I returned to my father." Liu Xu said, "Five years and three months."

"How about treating your brothers alone?" Zhu Zhanji asked slowly.

"The kindness is as heavy as a mountain, like recreating!" Liu Xu said excitedly: "Back then, my brothers fled all the way from Shandong to the capital. My younger brother fell ill, and I was bitten by a vicious dog because of begging. At this time, His Highness appeared and took him in." Our brothers, healed my wounds, cured Liu Mian's illnesses, and taught us martial arts, making us decent bodyguards. It can be said that without the Lord, there would be no brothers!"

"Then I'll let you do something, would you like it?" Zhu Zhanji said slowly.

"Will go through fire and water, and never say anything!" Liu Xu said with emotion: "If you have anything to do, just tell me, even if you want my life, I will never hesitate!"

"Okay! I'm sure I saw the right person!" Zhu Zhanji praised him, his eyes flickered, and his voice lowered, "My emperor's grandfather will hold a triumphant ceremony when he returns to Beijing. There are also many foreign envoys who have to go to Longjiang Pass to meet them."

"Yeah." Liu Xu nodded, and heard His Royal Highness continue to say quietly: "Go back to the East Palace now, and find a way for Gu so that my father will be late."

"Late?" Liu Xu was confused.

"Yeah." Zhu Zhanji nodded, and whispered: "It's better to ask my father to be a moment late..."

"This... how dare my subordinates frame the crown prince?" Liu Xu turned pale with shock, "Are you joking?"

"I can't wait! I'm not in the mood to joke!" Zhu Zhanji sighed. "My father and I both prosper and lose together. Of course I did this with painstaking efforts!"

"This..." Liu Xu finally believed it, but he was even more surprised and said, "Why don't you just tell the prince what you want to do?"

"My father is a loyal man, so he won't agree." Zhu Zhanji shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "But only by doing this can we solve the current crisis! This is the task I have given you alone, can you do it?"

"I'm afraid this subordinate won't be able to do it..." Liu Xu shook his head flusteredly.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes turned cold, and he said expressionlessly: "Why can't you do it?"

"Your Highness, calm down..." Liu Xu hurriedly explained: "Even if the humble official has the guts of a leopard, he really dares to harm the crown prince. But how dare the humble official stop the prince? Even if the humble official does something to damage the prince's car, it will not delay How much time, unless it's pretending to be an assassin... But that would be too much trouble." Then he knelt down, kowtowed and said: "My Lord let me go up the mountain of swords and go down into the sea of ​​fire, I don't even blink my brows, but, me I'm worried that I'll miss my grandpa's important event!"

"Who told you to pretend to be an assassin!" Zhu Zhanji smiled, turned his anger into joy and said, "So you are worried about this. You are so stupid. Your twin brother Liu Mian is my father's guard. My father has no defense against him at all." .You go back and work for Liu Mian without anyone noticing. It's not easy to plot against my father? For example, put some sweat medicine in his diet and let him sleep all morning, and it will be over."

Liu Xu is so sweaty, he said in his heart that if he gave his father a medicine for sweating, is it your own?But he finally knew what to do, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Just follow my orders!"

"Well." Zhu Zhanji nodded, helped him up and said, "After the incident is completed, what should you do if it is found out that you did it?"

"Naturally, the lowly position insists that it was ordered by the King of Han, and I am a spy placed by the King of Han next to His Highness!" Liu Xu is naturally not stupid, otherwise the grandson would not have entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility. "If you beat me to death, I won't recruit you!" He knew very well that this matter must not be leaked out.

"Well." Zhu Zhanji supported his shoulders, tears filled his eyes and said: "Gu will not let Liu Mian be in danger again, I will let him spread his branches and leaves, and then adopt a house to your side, so that you can also be with him." Can burn incense continuously..."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" With tears in his eyes, Liu Xu bowed deeply, then withdrew from the camp, and went straight to the capital after dark.

.

Luanjia abandoned his horse and boarded a boat in Yangzhou. With thousands of sails covering the sun, he entered the Yangtze River mightily, and soon Jinling was in sight.

These days, Zhu Gaochi is very busy. He knows that his father is very happy, but he also pays attention to frugality, so how grand and inexpensive the triumphant ceremony will be?And how to prepare for the subsequent banquet, down to the details of every song, dance and every dish, he has to personally test it before he can rest assured... Finally, on the afternoon before the ceremony, everything was finalized, and together with the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple The officials and the eunuchs in the palace reconsidered it again to make sure that every link was perfect, and His Royal Highness was relieved.

After returning to the East Palace from the imperial palace, Zhu Gaochi looked at the omen, it was already the fourth watch, and he could only sleep for an hour or so before he had to get up again to get ready.Because it was already midnight, he didn't go back to the palace to disturb the princess, so he made do with bed in the study.Who knew that tossing and turning would not be able to fall asleep... Tomorrow's ceremony must not go wrong, and there is still the need to face the thunderous wrath of the father, and no one would be able to fall asleep.

But if you don't sleep for a while, it will be even worse if you get dizzy and go wrong tomorrow. Zhu Gaochi called the waiter outside, and saw that it was the guard Liu Mian who came in.

"Where's Zhang Bao?" the prince asked, Zhang Bao was the personal eunuch on duty.

"Back to the crown prince, Zhang Bao couldn't stand it any longer. I thought that my father had fallen asleep and wouldn't wake up for a while, so I dared to persuade him to go and stare at him for a while." Liu Mian hurriedly apologized, "I'll go and wake him up right away."

"No need, he's been suffering too much during this time." The prince's benevolence is not pretending, but it can make you feel it all the time: "Gu is a bit insomnia, please pour me a bowl of Suhe bar. "

"Yes." Liu Mian hurried out to pour wine, and after a while, came back with a bowl of yellow wine soup.Zhu Gaochi took it, took a sip, frowned slightly, but still drank it all in one go, then took the tea bowl to rinse his mouth, nodded to Liu Mian and said, "I'm sorry, I'll try again."

After Zhu Gaochi lay down, Liu Mian blew out the lamp, bowed to leave, and the study became quiet again... Not to mention, the medicinal wine really worked. After a while, Zhu Gaochi felt dizzy and fell into a deep sleep .

.

On the next day at Maoshi, a round of red sun rushed out of the river, reflecting the beautiful city of Jinling red.

After three cannon shots, groups of soldiers came out of various barracks holding spears and spears, left the Jinchuan Gate, and lined up along the riverside twenty or thirty miles from Yanziji to Longjiangkou, every twenty feet. Far away, a colorful building was erected. The colorful building was wrapped with cypress leaves and flowers in yellow silk, which can be used for decoration and observation.

At the mouth of the Longjiang River, there are hundreds of colorful gates connected end to end, all decorated with golden chrysanthemums, golden and magnificent, which is a great atmosphere of prosperity!This scene not only opened the eyes of the foreign envoys, but even the princes and nobles in the capital were secretly stunned. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a capable person, and the money is not too much, but he can make such a scene... It’s just that it’s so fast It's time, why haven't you seen His Highness the Crown Prince?

Although, as a prince, he should come a little later than everyone else, but everyone has been here for almost an hour, and he still hasn't shown up, so it's too late...

People were talking a lot, when they suddenly heard the sound of horns from the direction of Yanziji, they became excited immediately, it was the signal of the arrival of the emperor's ship!

"Is the emperor here?" The class of civil servants visibly panicked. The emperor has arrived, but the prince hasn't arrived yet?

"What's going on here?" Jian Yi, such an immovable old minister, stroked his beard anxiously and asked, "Why hasn't the prince arrived yet?"

Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu looked at each other, and the former said in a low voice: "I have already sent someone to remind me, maybe something has delayed it."

"What's more important than welcoming you?" Jian Yi was anxious: "If the emperor doesn't see the prince later, it will be a big trouble!"

"Don't be restless, God, don't be impatient," Yang Pu comforted softly, "Your Highness must have got the news, even if you go here now, there is still time."

"Million..." Jian Yi sighed, "Don't make any mistakes."

But things are like this in the world, what to be afraid of, what to do, a cup of tea, the official who reported the letter came back in a hurry, with a ghostly look on his face, whispered a few words into Yang Shiqi's ear, Yang Shiqi's expression changed drastically, and he said to Jian Yi: "The prince is hungover, and even the imperial doctor can't wake him up!"

"What?" Jian Yi's eyes went dark, if it wasn't for the people around him to support him, he would have fallen into the river.

"How is this possible!"At this time, a gust of river wind blew away the mist on the river, and a five-story giant ship full of flags, under the protection of hundreds of four-story giant ships, appeared in a sudden but overwhelming momentum. before people's eyes.

"The emperor is here!" The people on the shore got nervous and took their positions. The band played a triumphant movement, and the soldiers set up a waiting formation. The civil and military officials, ministers, and envoys from all over the world also returned to their positions in order. Standing, not daring to breathe, welcome the triumphant return of the Great Ming Supreme!

Zhu Di was dressed in a dragon robe, wearing a winged crown on his head, holding the sword at his waist in his hand, leaning on the railing to look at the bank, and saw his courtiers falling down to him like cut rice amidst the solemn music. They all shouted: "The ministers welcome the holy car! The ministers congratulate the holy king on his triumphant return!"

In this situation, people couldn't help being complacent. Zhu Di stroked his beard and smiled secretly, but when his eyes swept over the officials, the smile froze on the emperor's face.

　I kept updating while I was busy with the year, and almost fell asleep again, but I didn’t fall asleep anyway, please ask for a few monthly tickets to encourage me!
