Now in the Qianqing Palace, except for Zhu Jianshen's father Zhu Qizhen, who was studying for a PhD in Yunnan, all the main planners of the coup in history were here.
However, things are different now.
Zhu Jianshen has become much less defensive about these three people. According to common sense, if he is close to the three of them, they have already been labeled with his own label. As long as he is not stupid, it is impossible to do something as big as treason.
Xu Youzhen, in particular, would not allow Zhu Qizhen to return to the Dragon Throne.
Zhu Jianshen also knew that the chance of his father regaining power was very slim. The changes in history were only possible with the approval of Empress Dowager Sun, and only these people dared to do it.
Zhu Jianshen knew these things in his heart and understood them, but when he saw Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, and Cao Jixiang standing together, it would always awaken the deep fear in his heart.
What Xu Youzhen reported was that the princes and princesses would arrive in the capital in two days. All the preparatory work had been completed, and the details had been embellished. After finishing speaking, Xu Youzhen stopped.
Zhu Jianshen was a little surprised to see Xu Youzhen talking so little and even being a little restrained.
What Xu Youzhen said had always been handled by Zhan Yang. Zhu Jianshen knew very well how to welcome him and where to place him.
However, after thinking about it, he understood in his heart that Xu Youzhen wanted to use this excuse to see him.
Perhaps in order to maintain a relationship, he wanted to test his tone on several policy changes in the DPRK, in order to ensure his position as a central minister.
It may also be purely for selfish reasons.
Jinyiwei also reported secretly that Xu Youzhen, unlike Duke Cheng Guogong, really cared about what he said. After he "encouraged students", he was very restrained in sleeping with her, once every two months, and all night long. , which can be regarded as an improvement.
Before setting off this time, I might as well ask myself to untie him.
The true meaning of a drunkard is not in the wine, but in the "landscape".
Now Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng are present. The former, Xu Youzhen, cannot speak, and the latter, Xu Youzhen, is embarrassed and has no way to speak out.
After a short stay, Zhu Jianshen said: "I understand. Marquis Wu Yang, why do you want to see me?"
Shi Heng was not very familiar with Cao Jixiang, and was a sworn enemy of Xu Youzhen. He came to Qianqing Palace just to tell Zhu Jianshen about the results of his research these days. Since returning to the capital, Zhu Jianshen told him to go to Yunnan. After that, he spent all his sleep and food formulating a series of military strategies against Annan, from finding reasons, deploying troops, and mobilizing food, to the strategic separation of Annan after entering the territory, and the rule of the occupied areas, all in detail. step.
Shi Heng also knew that the outside world did not know Zhu Jianshen's intention to launch troops against Annan, and Xu Youzhen, known as the most favored minister of the Ming Dynasty, did not know either. Firstly, Shi Heng was afraid of ruining His Majesty's plan, and secondly, he was unwilling to do so. Xu Youzhen knew so much, and when he heard Zhu Jianshen asking him, he quickly thought of a reason.
But after all, his head was not as fast as Xu Youzhen's. Li Xian and others were holding it in for a long time before they finally managed to say: "I am asking to see you to express my wedding wishes to Your Majesty."
After Zhu Jianshen listened, he just nodded.
Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen, and Shi Heng all had a lot of things to talk about, but Cao Jixiang was worried about Shi Heng, Shi Heng was worried about Xu Youzhen, Xu Youzhen was worried about Cao Jixiang, and Shi Heng was actually unwilling to say more. One sentence.
Quiet.
After a while, Zhu Jianshen still broke the calm and said: "Cao Jixiang, you have been out at sea for more than two years. What you have seen along the way, why don't you tell me about it now, so that Wuyang Marquis, Xu Du Yushi, and I can all gain insights. .”
"Yes, Your Majesty." After hearing this, Cao Jixiang became interested. This was an opportunity to show off. He cleared his throat and began to tell in detail his maritime adventures.
When Cao Jixiang first went to sea, he was very uncomfortable. He couldn't stand firmly on the boat, couldn't sleep, or couldn't eat. After more than two months of adapting, he gradually felt like walking on flat ground. He ate well and fell asleep.
The fleet arrived at Liaoping Prefecture and continued northward, docking at Mingqi Port. After resting for a while, they arrived at the northernmost ice and snow world. The fleet sailed for more than four months. Just when they were on the right track, a storm came at night. The fleet dispersed, and the treasure ship on which Cao Jixiang was riding began to look for other ships. It took two days to complete the assembly of the fleet, but the warship on which Zhu Yi was riding disappeared.
When they heard this, Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen's hearts skipped a beat. They had lost a warship and the young Duke in half a year at sea.
Xu Youzhen could still keep her composure, but Shi Heng interrupted Cao Jixiang at this moment and asked: "Eunuch Cao, has the little Duke been found now?"
Cao Jixiang shook his head.
Shi Heng sighed heavily, and then said something very inappropriate.
"It's good too. Duke Cheng Guo and his son are also reunited."
Shi Heng spoke with a serious face, as if in his opinion, this was indeed a good result.
But as soon as he said these words, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang, Zhang Bao, and Zhu Jianshen who was sitting on the throne all looked at Shi Heng.
If you can't speak, just keep your mouth shut and listen carefully.
Shi Heng didn't panic at all when he felt everyone's gaze. Advanced ideas would always receive a lot of cold looks.
Zhu Jian sighed deeply, and then gestured to Cao Jixiang.
Cao Jixiang began to continue talking.
When Zhu Yi's warship disappeared, there was a long delay, and then after two months of sailing, they finally landed on a piece of land.
This land is very cold. It was on this land that Cao Jixiang and a group of soldiers and sailors saw tall savages for the first time. They wore animal skins and did not know how to use fire. These savages regarded Cao Jixiang and others as As a prey, the first encounter was very unfriendly. Then, Cao Jixiang ordered to ensure the safety around the ship. Then in six bloody conflicts, he killed more than a hundred savages before expelling the surrounding savages. Walk.
After hearing this, Shi Heng interrupted again.
"Eunuch Cao, those savages are all wearing animal skins. Are there any tiger skins among them? The price is very high."
After hearing these words, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help it. He was about to reprimand him, but Xu Youzhen beat him to it: "Wu Yanghou, if you listen, listen carefully. If you don't want to listen, leave and don't disturb me." Someone else."
In fact, Xu Youzhen was very interested in what Cao Jixiang said, but just as he entered the scene and felt like he was there, Shi Heng had to interrupt and suddenly transport himself from that continent full of savages. Pull back to the Ming Dynasty.
Shi Heng was very angry when he heard that Xu Youzhen was so disrespectful to him in front of His Majesty. He looked at Xu Youzhen and said: "The Censor of Xudu is so majestic. This is the Palace of Qianqing. Your Majesty didn't say anything. Why is it so obvious?" is you."
I'm just curious and good at speaking and asking questions, so there's something wrong with that.
Sure enough, in the eyes of people who dislike you, no matter how good you are, you are still full of flaws. Xu Youzhen did it on purpose.
"Marquis Wuyang, you still know that this is the Qianqing Palace. His Majesty didn't ask, but you want to ask who is the one who is presumptuous and disrespectful in front of the emperor." Xu Youzhen said coldly.
After Shi Heng heard this, he was trembling with anger. He was filled with hatred in his heart and stupid in his mouth, unable to say anything.
When Zhu Jianshen saw Xu Youzhen reprimanding Shi Heng, he knew that he could no longer reprimand him. Then he glanced at Zhang Bao, hoping that Zhang Bao would smooth things over and ease the atmosphere.
But Zhang Bao was also looking at Shi Heng angrily, scolding Shi Heng in his heart. This old boy is so ignorant. At that moment, he didn't even receive the emperor's gaze.
Zhu Jianshen shook his head secretly and smiled bitterly.
Cao Jixiang knew Shi Heng's position in the court, and was unwilling to offend him, nor was he willing to let the relationship between Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng become so tense. At that moment, he opened his mouth to come to the rescue and said: "Censor of Xu Du, Marquis of Wuyang, don't do it because of This matter hurts the harmony. This is in front of the emperor, so please pay more attention." ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
Cao Jixiang's words gave Shi Heng a step down.
Shi Heng knew that he could not defeat Xu Youzhen. At that moment, he walked down the slope, looked at Cao Jixiang and said with a smile: "Eunuch Cao, are they wearing tiger skins?"
