Qin'an Hall.
The palace dedicated to Emperor Zhenwu.
The hall has a double-eaves roof and is located on a single-layer Xumizuo made of white marble.
No one is allowed to come close within a few radius of this place.
Lu Shidao, wearing a green crane cloak, suddenly appeared on the stone steps. The door in front of him opened automatically and then closed gently.
"call."
Candlelight illuminated the entire hall.
The gilded bronze statue of Zhenwu, with his hair spread and barefoot, sits in the hall, with a majestic expression and no anger.
The walls are engraved with murals: the turtle and snake generals, the golden boy, the jade girl, and the thirty-six heavenly generals, which are lifelike and vivid.
Lu Shidao sat on the futon and closed his eyes slightly.
His body was trembling slightly, and the lingering cold mist overflowed from his mouth and nose, and there seemed to be a light layer of frost around him.
Two quarters of an hour.
"Made through."
Lu Shidao opened his eyes, his eyes were full of fatigue, but they were still extremely bright, with hidden joy.
He waved away with one hand, and the hall returned to its original state.
Thoughts flashed in my eyes,
"Li Kui."
A book suddenly appeared in front of me, and when I took a closer look, I saw it was the list of Jin Yiwei. The pages of the book flipped and turned to one of the pages. Li Kui's name and birth date were written on it.
Lu Shidao counted with his fingers and frowned.
Fake!
He couldn't even calculate Li Kui's destiny.
You must know that he learned the art of celestial calculation from the magician Yuan Gong. Over the decades, he has learned from hundreds of schools of thought and has reached its peak. In his eyes, no matter who the fate is, it is clear at a glance. If you can know the year and month of birth, you can even know the disaster of life and death. blessing.
But at that time Lu Shidao looked at Li Kui.
Luck is as misty as smoke, destiny is strange and dark, and the details are impossible to tell.
Strange, strange.
There was silence for a long time.
Lu Shidao stood up quickly and came to the seat of Emperor Zhenwu, thinking slightly.
But the statue of Zhenwu suddenly turned around, revealing a stone tablet behind it. It was completely dark and had complicated words engraved on it.
"is it him?"
A sentence suddenly came out of Lu Shidao's mouth.
But apparently no one responded to his question.
Candlelight flickers,
"tread."
A pair of steps landed quietly.
…
…
at the same time.
Hanwang's Mansion, main hall.
On the table made of golden nanmu, there was only a pot of wine and a few plates of side dishes.
Two brothers, Zhu Gaoxi and Zhu Gaosui, were drinking.
"Third brother, how are things going?"
"Second brother, don't worry, I guarantee there will be no problem."
Zhu Gaosui drank the wine in his glass, and a sly smile appeared on his shrewd face, "I sent the treasures you brought back from Japan through Jin Yiwei's secret channel. No one will know, and I have disposed of them all."
"That's good."
Zhu Gaoxi raised the corners of his lips and stroked his specially grown beard.
This is not an action he would do, but it is a subconscious action when Zhu Di is happy, but now it has become his habit.
It has to be said that Zhu Gaoxi's appearance is indeed very similar to Zhu Di.
But apart from this, everything else is completely different.
"Old man, hum..."
As if remembering something, Zhu Gaoxi twitched his facial muscles with a smile.
At the beginning of Jingnan's reign, Zhu Di said to him: "Mianzhi, the prince is very ill."
It means: Work hard, your eldest brother is in poor health and has many diseases. The implication is: if Zhu Gaochi dies due to poor health, he has a chance!
what chance?
Of course it’s the chance to be the emperor!
It was because of this sentence that Zhu Gaoxi launched a nearly twenty-year plan to seize the direct heir. However, until now, the King of Han is still the King of Han, and the prince is still the prince.
It's no wonder that Li Kui said: The king of Han was defeated repeatedly. When he was defeated repeatedly, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help laughing.
Only at this time,
Zhu Gaoxi has lost his patience.
When he destroyed the Japanese country, he finally came to his senses.
Why do I have to wait for the old man to give it to him? Why can't I get it myself?
Just like Zhu Di, King of Yan, and Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.
Zhu Gaoxi has many powerful generals under his command, and he has gathered countless military general groups. This is the capital he relies on. Violence does not solve everything, but it is enough to solve the problem he urgently needs to solve now.
"The third child."
Zhu Gaoxi picked up the wine pot, filled Zhu Gaosui's glass, and then filled himself up again.
"Um?"
Zhu Gaosui said.
"As long as I become emperor, the world belongs to us two brothers. I will share the world with you!"
Zhu Gaoxi held the wine glass with three fingers and looked directly at Zhu Gaosui, "Look, how big the territory of the Ming Dynasty is now. We two brothers are half of it. Isn't it beautiful?"
Zhu Gaosui was stunned.
He looked at his second brother, his eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of darkness, the corners of his lips raised a little, and he couldn't help laughing.
"good!
"Second brother, I will help you ascend to the throne, and we will share the world!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
At this moment, the two of them laughed loudly.
carefree;
cunning;
Two long and narrow shadows intertwined.
Completely unaware of the paper figure the size of a fingernail lying there quietly in the corner of the beam.
then.
After three rounds of drinking.
"Third brother, come with me to see those treasures."
Zhu Gaoxi's cheeks were flushed with wine, and his tone was extremely excited.
"good!"
Zhu Gaosui naturally followed the good and followed the flow.
The two got up and walked straight to the backyard.
At this moment, the paper figure on the beam gently floated down and quickly attached to the sole of Zhu Gaosui's lifted shoe.
Compared with the sparse crowds in the front yard, the backyard is brightly lit, with a post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. Heavily armed soldiers come and go in every corner, and sometimes there is a vague atmosphere that fleetingly disappears.
The defense is not tight.
"This is it." Zhu Gaosui pointed to the ordinary rockery in front of him, "Open the door."
The words trailed off.
Suddenly, the sound of gears turning was heard, and the rockery suddenly split into two halves, revealing the deep tunnel underneath.
"Third brother, come with me."
Zhu Gaoxi led the way, followed closely by Zhu Gaosui.
Go down the steps for about ten meters.
"look."
As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxi pressed the button skillfully.
Immediately, the torch on the wall suddenly ignited, and the dazzling firelight revealed the space in front of the two people.
Densely packed rifles, armors, crossbows, and various small or large steam cannons came into view in an orderly manner.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is enough to arm three thousand soldiers.
"Wow."
Zhu Gaosui looked around and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Second brother is so capable!"
He sent someone to bring the treasure in, but when he actually saw this scene, he was still surprised.
"Oh, thanks to your help, third brother."
Having said that, Zhu Gaoxi couldn't help but have a smug smile on his lips.
If you ask where these weapons come from?
Of course it comes from the battle of Japan, and the process is quite simple.
Zhu Gaoxi falsely reported damaged cannons and rifles, and then secretly escorted this batch of 'disappeared' ordnance back to the country. Through the channels of Jin Yiwei, he entered the Han Dynasty palace without anyone noticing.
Now the emperor is within reach at his feet.
Kill the boss and the old man, and he will sit on the throne!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Gaoxi could not suppress his joy and burst into laughter.
behind him.
In the interplay of light and shadow, Zhu Gaosui's face flickered. He looked at his second brother's back and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
