Chapter 4 King Jingjiang
All the confidence of Jingjiang King Zhu Shouqian was based on one thing, and that was Zhu Yuanzhang's tolerance for him.
Who was right and who was wrong about what happened back then? It makes no sense now. He Xi did not want to solve the mystery of whether Zhu Wenzheng was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang or whether he died in depression.
Pointless.
Perhaps it is meaningful to King Jingjiang. The difference here allows him to change his mentality to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang.
But in He Xi's view, the contrast between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Shouqian has never changed. When Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Zhu Shouqian, he could do it with just one sentence, and he could do it cleanly and innocently.
This point has not changed. What Zhu Shouqian wants to think about is not revenge. But live.
What He Xi did to Zhu Shouqian was not just to vent his anger. To give Princess Anqing a sigh of relief, but to show the true situation of King Jingjiang's current situation. That is, his life and death are never in his own hands, especially his behavior of seeking death.
In fact, people will really die.
Although Zhu Shouqian is much older than He Xi. However, Zhu Shouqian is far from mature.
After all, He Xi received modern education and Zhu Yuanzhang's training. Mature quickly. Although Zhu Shouqian's life experience was pitiful, he was somewhat bitter and resentful. But his parents died young, and there was only hatred in his heart. It was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to teach him step by step. As for his other elders. There is Zhu Wenzheng's matter, and Zhu Shouqian's way of showing hatred on his face. Zhu Yuanzhang may not care, but how can others not care. Naturally, he kept his distance from King Jingjiang.
The people around Zhu Shouqian were just servants.
Can these servants stop Zhu Shouqian?
This is how he developed into what he is today. Finally, he was imprisoned behind a high wall.
In fact, his mental age is only a teenager. He had seen no real difficulties. No real training. The arrogance and toughness shown are all false.
Once he finds out, he will really die.
It softened in an instant.
His face was pale and his whole body was as soft as a noodle. He slumped on the table, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Seeing this, He Xi signaled to Wang Qianli.
Only then did Wang Qianli let go of King Jingjiang's arm. But there was no movement from King Jingjiang at all.
Wang Qianli actually breathed a sigh of relief secretly. To be honest, without He Xi's signal, he would never dare to do such a thing to a vassal king. He Xi letting him go was like an amnesty to him.
He Xi said: "Why, are you afraid of death?"
"Who said---I'm afraid---of death--" King Jingjiang still wanted to say a few tough words. But I couldn't tell. His mouth seemed to be enchanted. Whenever he opened his mouth, he would feel cold and tremble.
He Xi said: "It's actually nothing if people are afraid of death. Only when you are afraid of death can you know how to live. Don't worry, Your Majesty has no intention of killing you now."
This sentence suddenly gave King Jingjiang strength. King Jingjiang seemed to be energetic all of a sudden. He struggled to get up from the table, pointed at He Xi, and said: "Okay. If you pretend to preach the imperial edict, I will report it to the court and punish you." You nine tribes.”
He Xi was helpless and thought to himself: "Some people just can't understand human speech. They can't communicate with normal thinking." He Xi also knew at this moment how to talk to King Jingjiang. He Xi grabbed King Jingjiang's head and smashed it on the table. There is a "boom" sound when starting. Following the look of the underworld boss in the movie, he pressed King Jingjiang's head and said: "Your Highness King Jingjiang, if you really want to die, I will make it happen for you right now. The Yangtze River is outside. How about letting you slip and fall into the water?"
"If you are not satisfied with this way of death, just mention something. I will try my best to satisfy you."
King Jingjiang was hit so hard that he was in pain. This time, He Xi did not hold back at all, so King Jingjiang was so painful that he broke into a cold sweat. However, he was frightened by He Xi's cold words and did not dare to say a word of pain. I even ignored the pain in my forehead. Said: "You, you, what do you want to do?"
He Xi said: "What don't you want to do? Eliminate the trouble for your majesty. After all, what your majesty really cares about is the lineage of the King of Nanchang. If you never have children, it will be difficult for your majesty to take action. Now there are sacrifices at the king's spring in Nanchang. You are no longer important. You really don’t want to live anymore, but you don’t dare to die, how about I do it for you?”
The King of Nanchang is Zhu Wenzheng's father and Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest brother.
Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to family ties. He also has special feelings for his deceased eldest brother. Because of this, Zhu Wenzheng and his son were repeatedly indulged.
Of course, He Xi didn't dare to do anything to Zhu Shouqian. After all, Zhu Shouqian was also a vassal king of the imperial court. Don't do it lightly. But he could see that dealing with people like Zhu Shouqian. If you don't suppress it hard, it will be difficult to deal with it next time.
At this moment, He Xi even had some regrets. He thought secretly: "I had known that Zhu Shouqian was like this. I should have refused to let King Jingjiang confederate Taiwan. Isn't this causing trouble for myself?"
Just when He Xi regretted it, He Xi suddenly smelled a smell that made him regret even more. It smells like urine. He Xi lowered his head and found water flowing down King Jingjiang's legs.
They are also the clothes of King Jingjiang, with wide robes and big sleeves, which are not obvious. But the smell is very noticeable.
King Jingjiang was so frightened that he peed.
He Xi immediately stood up and said, "Here comes someone."
Immediately two young eunuchs came in.
He Xi said, "Change King Jingjiang's clothes." He Xi couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty is such a hero. All the kings are also heroes. Your father is also a famous general. Why do you have such a thing?" Then he threw up his sleeves and left. He didn't want to smell King Jingjiang's urine here.
------
After all, a ship is a ship. Although a warship is relatively large, its space is limited, and some things cannot be hidden from others. It can be said that Tang He already knew what happened after He Xi left.
"My lord," Tang He said to the staff around him: "He Xi is so bold and reckless. Once the news reaches the capital. If your majesty knows about it, will he blame the lord? Or, will the lord come out to punish him?"
Tang He smiled faintly and said: "What are you afraid of? Don't you know who is closer to the grand-nephew or the son-in-law? Furthermore, Zhu Shouqian is really ignorant. Without the Queen, he would have died with his father long ago. It is the Queen who begs for mercy, Your Majesty only allowed them, father and son, to stay."
"Zhu Wenzheng is a ruthless character, but he doesn't understand the overall situation and doesn't understand the general situation. When he was in Nanchang City, he really dared to say anything and asked for anything. It is inevitable to settle accounts after the fall. But after all, his surname is Zhu. He just wants to be more calm. , it’s not what it is today.”
"I haven't seen what Zhu Shouqian has. He is restless, just like his father."
"get ready."
The staff was shocked and said: "What do you think, Duke?"
Tang He thought to himself, "The people around me are not as good as before." Tang He glanced at it and said, "You know, just don't say anything. Prepare what you need to prepare. Who knows that He Xi didn't really come with His Majesty's orders?" .”
The staff member was shocked and immediately went down to prepare.
Compared with the general who was killed in the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. He Xi is nothing at all.
He Xi was actually trying to scare Zhu Shouqian so that Zhu Shouqian would be obedient and cooperate well. But Tang He is not.
Don't look at the soup and dough balls, which look like a rich man, and you really think you are a rich man. Killing is one of the things Tang He is best at, and fighting is essentially killing. Although Tang He's achievements throughout his life were not as outstanding as those of Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. However, many famous generals and ministers died in Tang He's hands.
Who is Zhu Shouqian?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even need to give an order, just a hint. The soup can be cooked properly. Isn’t it just to share your worries? This is soup and know how to make it? Just don't make it too rough. There's a price to pay for doing things too rough.
After all, Liao Yongzhong's killing of Han Lin'er was too rough. After all, everyone was still a rough guy back then and didn’t know how to work meticulously. What should we do? Therefore, Liao Yongzhong paid the price for his poor craftsmanship.
Tang He would not make such a mistake. So do you want to prepare it first? Now everyone is a noble person in the court. I also know how to use some secret methods. Absolutely seamless.
