Shi Biao and Zhu Ji waited in the lobby for two hours.
From the time the sun had just set, by the time it was past midnight, it was already late at night.
After waiting for such a long time, Zhu Ji had lost some confidence in his heart. Could it be that he had made a mistake in judgment? Looking at Shi Biao who was a little anxious, Zhu Ji didn't say much to leave first...
Just when the patience of both people was slowly disappearing.
Shi Heng is here.
Shi Biao stood up quickly, and Zhu Ji also stood up. When Shi Biao was about to salute his uncle, he saw that Shi Heng's face was extremely ugly and he did not give him a chance to speak.
Pass them quickly.
When passing by, Shi Heng didn't look at his great nephew.
Seeing this, Shi Biao lamented in his heart. It seemed that the old uncle hated him and would not show any mercy to him.
Of course, Shi Heng saw Shi Biao before entering the lobby, and his anger level suddenly filled up.
In just a few short years, Shi Biao's career was advancing rapidly, but he was about to become a prisoner and a sinner of the Ming Dynasty. This gap was something Shi Heng couldn't accept.
After Shi Heng passed in front of the two people, he sat on the main seat and then turned to look at Shi Biao and Zhu Ji.
His eyes were very playful.
Shi Biao looked at his old uncle's eyes and sighed lightly, without speaking first.
But Zhu Ji spoke first: "Marquis Wu Yang, we are done."
Shi Heng sneered: "It seems that that boy didn't tell you the truth. What can I, a sinner, have to do? It's just things between men and women and food and drink. In this remote place, it's hard to satisfy the food and drink. It's hard to satisfy my food and drink with my head." If you think about it, you will know that it is a matter between men and women, Commander Zhu, you are not that stupid."
Zhu Ji didn't feel angry at all after hearing Shi Heng's slightly provocative words.
He just laughed softly, and then said calmly: "Then Marquis Wu Yang is in a good mood, but without the nourishment of tiger whip soup, Marquis Wu Yang still needs to pay more attention to his body to avoid being weak."
Tiger whip was a hard dish that Shi Heng served Zhu Ji when he went to Liaoping Mansion. It is also a dish that Zhu Ji still remembers vividly.
Shi Heng sneered and replied: "I, Shi Heng, have my head dropped to the ground right in front of me. Why should I pay attention to my body? Enjoy it if you can. If I am weak, I will be weak. The imperial court will not use me, and neither will your Majesty." Now that he knows how to use me, my great nephew doesn’t need me anymore, his wings are much harder than his old uncle’s.”
After saying these words, Shi Biao's face looked very ugly.
And Shi Heng also focused all his attention on Shi Biao.
"I have finally gained some leisure and elegance. When I want to enjoy myself, I will listen to the people below and tell me that the newly appointed general of the Southern Conquest is here."
"They said he was going to succeed me. At that time, I was still wondering. It seems that I haven't received your Majesty's order yet, so why did there suddenly appear a new general who conquered the south."
"After thinking about it, the edict of condemnation should be on the way, but our General Zhengnan was a little anxious and walked a little too fast."
"Then, I thought about who would take over my position. Who can come from all over the court? I thought of Chen Ying who had just become Ning Guogong, thought of Guo Deng, Yang Hong, and even thought Zhao Fu in North Korea, the commander-in-chief of the Nine Borders, Mu Zan, and the commanders of Guangdong and Guangxi."
"But no matter how much I thought about it, I never imagined that this General Zhengnan is actually a member of our Shi family. It seems that His Majesty really treats our surnamed Shi in a different light and is extremely favoring."
"Marquis Liaoping, Marquis Liaoping, stay safe, my great nephew..."
"Hmph, look at what I asked. The eldest nephew is in a high position, is valued by His Majesty, and is good at doing things. Of course, he is living a very good life. What can't be done? My eldest nephew just needs to kill his uncle and everything will be settled. Annan will become the first Duke of Ming Dynasty in our Shi family..."
Shi Biao, who was sitting aside, had been waiting for Shi Heng's sarcastic remarks without any rebuttal. But when Shi Heng finished his last words, he couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and looked at Shi Heng coldly. .
Occupying a high position, being valued by His Majesty, and being the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, all these things were within easy reach for Shi Heng before. He lost them all himself and wanted the entire Shi family to be buried with him...
Shi Heng looked at Shi Biao's anger without any fear in his heart. He sneered and said, "Oh, what's wrong? The Marquis of Liao Ping has something to say. Do you want me to stand up and listen?"
"No, you don't have to stand up. I'm just thinking about how to call you. Should I call you uncle, or should I call you Wu Yanghou."
"Don't call me uncle. How can I, a sinner, bear this?"
Zhu Ji, who was sitting aside, looked outside the lobby.
A Jin Yiwei outside the lobby gave instructions and quickly arranged for someone to move out the desk that had been prepared in advance, put pens, inks, paper and inkstones on it, and then lit the candle. A Jin Yiwei's pen was also ready at this time. I wrote hard and fast.
It doesn't matter what Shi Heng says at this time.
The dialogue between Shi Heng and Shi Biao was very important to the imperial court and Jin Yiwei.
Although His Majesty the Emperor made Shi Biao the successor, his military power in Annan would no longer exceed that of Shi Heng.
At the beginning, Shi Heng, whether it was Han Yong or Mu Zan, had very little influence on him, but because of Shi Heng, Shi Biao had to face up to their opinions.
The structure of division and rule between Shi Biao, Han Yong, and Mu Zan has been formed.
Zhu Jianshen's latest decree is also to let Han Yong, the Minister of War, directly serve as the general admiral, and let Mu Zan, the deputy general governor, be changed to the governor of the southern expedition, and Shi Biao is the general of the suppression of bandits.
Although Shi Biao still had the greatest power based on his position, he was restricted by Mu Zan and Han Yong.
Even if the emperor believed in Shi Biao, he would not hand over all the hundreds of thousands of troops in the southwest to Shi Biao just based on his trust. Of course, to put it another way, if Zhu Jianshen showed great trust, he would hand over all the troops to Shi Biao. All power was given to Shi Biao, but Shi Biao did not dare to come to Annan.
As for his conversation with Shi Heng, His Majesty the Emperor must know about it.
Firstly, it was to allow the emperor to make a judgment, and secondly, it was to reassure Shi Biao.
After hearing Shi Heng's words, Shi Biao paused for a moment.
"Since Marquis Wu Yang said so, I will call you Marquis Wu Yang."
"Wu Yanghou just said that your majesty values the Duke of the Ming Dynasty and holds a high position. To me, it sounds very ridiculous..."
Shi Heng looked at Shi Biao and snorted, "This little brat really knows how to go down the slope. This Wuyang Hou shouts really smoothly."
"What's so funny? Isn't it true?"
