"Amitabha. Your Highness, the matter has been taken care of." Li Rong came over and interrupted the conversation between Zhu Su and Di Meng.
"We have sent people to report to the Fusi of Jinyiwei Town and the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment that Zhu Xian, the crown prince of Yongjia Marquis, took His Highness hostage and was killed by His Highness instead."
"Qixia Guard has been tied up and guarded by our people. There is no escape for the time being. And Marquis Yongjia is far away in Peiping, so our people must report the news faster."
"It's just that the number of Qixia Guards is much larger than ours. It's safer to report it to the Governor's Office and send in soldiers to take care of it."
"Yes. Thank you very much Li for taking command." Zhu Su nodded. He turned around and asked Yao Guangxiao, who had been silent all the time: "Monk, is this safe enough?"
"Amitabha, from the young monk's point of view, sixty-seven out of ten." Seeing Zhu Su's inquiry, Yao Guangxiao answered with his hands clasped together. "Our people go to report the news first. With this quick word, we can take the initiative. Your Majesty can easily finish the work for His Highness."
"And there are also the cabinet and Qingliu from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
The cabinet and Qingliu were suppressed by Hu Weiyong in the name of Zhu Su these days, but the emperor let them go, while the prince protected his younger brother and prevented them from impeaching them, so they lived a very miserable life.
Now that they have learned about Zhu Su's execution of the heir apparent of the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, they will not continue to sit idly by and ignore it. They will definitely make every effort to make this an ironclad case, so that Zhu Su will be completely alienated among these nobles of the princes, and will do everything possible to find a way to bite Hu Weiyong.
It happened that Zhu Su didn't want the people in the court to look at him, but he just used their strength to get out of this quagmire.
"Sixty-seven out of ten... there is still something missing." Zhu Su thought for a moment. "Monk, from your point of view, what is not perfect enough?"
"Back to Your Highness, the noble son of the Marquis Mansion, for a few possessions, took the risk to assassinate the king... After all, it is too ridiculous." Yao Guang said filially. "Although it is true that Zhu Xian colluded with the Koreans, it is unlikely that he would have committed such a heinous act just because he stole the formula."
"And the North is still in a stalemate with Beiyuan. If the assassination of Wang Jia happens, the case will be difficult to cover up. The King of Goryeo must be punished by decree."
"Maybe someone in the DPRK will demand that the case be suppressed because they are worried about Goryeo's fall to Bukwon."
"If this is the case, Your Highness, your situation will be unfavorable."
"Hmm..." Zhu Su frowned and thought deeply. What Yao Guangxiao said was true. Based on the current war situation in the north, it is indeed possible that some ministers were afraid of Goryeo's recurrence and urged Lao Zhu to suppress this matter.
If Yongjiahou cannot be killed with one blow, Zhu Su's own situation will be in danger.
I'm afraid I won't even dare to leave the house in the future.
"Being afraid of Goryeo... I think it shouldn't hurt." After thinking about it for a while, with Lao Zhu's bad temper, if he wanted to accomplish this, he probably wouldn't be fettered by Goryeo.
What's more, his father and son have a vision of the future. If they want to control the situation in Goryeo, Lao Zhu must have his own way of doing politics.
Maybe we can also use our strength to add firewood to the Yi Chenggui Rebellion in the future of Goryeo!
"As for the reason being too ridiculous..." Zhu Su thought for a moment. "What the monk means is that I should find a way to make Zhu Xian's 'rebellion' more credible?"
"Amitabha, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. This matter is too outrageous and absurd. If you deliberately criticize it, there is always an opportunity." Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together. "What the poor monk means is that His Highness is the best. He can make others not dare to criticize, or give His Majesty a reason to refute the criticisms justifiably..."
"Don't dare to criticize?"
Zhu Su thought for a moment and couldn't help but look up at Yao Guangxiao: "...Monk, does it have to be like this?"
"Amitabha, this poor monk is just telling lies. It all depends on Your Highness's decision." Yao Guangxiao simply closed his eyes.
Di Meng, Gou'er, Li Rong and others all looked puzzled, wondering what kind of riddle Zhu Su was playing with the monk in black. Zhu Su smiled bitterly in his heart, giving Lao Zhu a justifiable reason to refute the criticism. After much deliberation, there was only one solution.
I was in a similar situation before because I was seriously injured and stayed in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor's dormitory, out of bounds.
As long as his son is injured, Lao Zhu can justifiably become furious and justifiably subdue the courtier Xun Jiu...
"Monk, it's best that the method you mentioned works." After thinking about it, Zhu Su gritted his teeth and pulled out the long sword under the horrified eyes of Gou'er and others. "Otherwise, I will marry you and make you a chamberlain!"
"Amitabha." Yao Guangxiao proclaimed the Buddha's name in a low voice without joy or sorrow.
"Dog, remember to apply the wound medicine I made myself when you return to Zhuangzi. Also, wrap my wound with gauze boiled in boiling water." Zhu Su turned around and ordered. Then he closed his eyes, felt cruel, turned the sword tip and made a pop sound, and the sword tip sank a few inches into his shoulder.
"hiss!"
Zhu Su, who didn't expect it to hurt so much, immediately fell backwards.
"Your Highness?"
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!"
Gou'er and Di Meng, the closest ones, were shocked and immediately caught Zhu Su. Li Rong also turned pale with fright:
"Your Highness, why did you harm yourself?"
"What self-mutilation? This was Zhu Xian's stabbing!" Zhu Su scolded. But it affected the wound, and he grinned in pain. After finally calming down a bit, he looked at Yao Guangxiao: "Monk, this injury is enough."
"Amitabha, Your Highness is so wise and brave." Yao Guangxiao praised with his hands clasped together.
"But it doesn't need to be like this. What the poor monk means is that as long as we look a little more embarrassed, Your Highness will cut off our clothes and smear some blood on them so that we can pretend to be injured when we return to the city..."
"Fuck!" Zhu Su stood up angrily and sat up, but the injury on his shoulder caused him to fall down again: "You're such a jerk!"
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier, you bald thief!"
"...The poor monk saw His Highness acting suddenly and thought that His Highness had already understood..." Yao Guangxiao's face showed a rare expression of speechlessness.
"Well……"
"Day, I forgot!"
"My sword just hit that bitch Zhu Xian!"
"It's a big loss. It's a big loss."
"That guy, you don't have any infectious diseases, right?"
…
Imperial City, Jinshen Hall.
"What?" Lao Zhu was originally grading the memorial under the butter candle. When he heard Mao Xiang's report, the ink pen in his hand suddenly stopped, and large red ink beads dripped on the memorial.
"You said that Lao Wu killed the crown prince of Yongjia Marquis, Zhu Xian?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. The Jinyi spies assigned to His Majesty the Fifth Prince saw it with their own eyes." Mao Xiang knelt on one knee, not daring to raise his head to peek at the emperor's expression. "The messenger sent by His Highness the Fifth Prince is on the way now. I think there will be officials from the Ministry of Punishment coming soon."
"Absurd!" Lao Zhu threw the ink pen on the imperial desk, making Mao Xiang tremble all over.
"What is the fifth child doing? Do you dare to kill someone at such a young age?"
"Liangzu is still far away in Beiping. If he knew that his eldest son was dead, why would he still cause trouble?"
"Those stinky bastards haven't all surfaced yet. If he kills them first, he won't ruin our big event!"
