Seeing the attitude of the two little guys towards Zhu Zhanhe, Chen Kan unconsciously showed a smile on his face.
The two children, Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi, each have their own personalities. Zhu Zhanji has a wild temper and likes to get into trouble, while Hua Shi is a little unconfident and has a soft personality. These are their character shortcomings.
But having flaws does not affect their kindness.
Zhu Zhanhe had never experienced such a tender scene before. When Zhu Zhanji held his shoulders, his little face turned a little red, half from pain and half from shyness.
But after all, he is only a four-year-old child. He has no sense of good and evil or right and wrong, and is just pure instinct.
Zhu Zhanji asked: "Brother He, can you leave now?"
Zhu Zhanhe nodded: "Yes."
"Come on, I'll take you to the backyard to see the hibiscus. It's beautiful. Let's catch snakes in the hibiscus bush and make dragon and phoenix soup."
Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but pulled Zhu Zhanhe and ran towards the backyard. Hua Shi's eyes were bright. It was obvious that what Zhu Zhanji said about catching snakes had aroused his interest.
Zhu Zhanhe turned around and looked at Chen Kan for help.
Chen Kan nodded slightly: "Go ahead, it's just that you are injured, so don't do strenuous exercise."
Seeing the three children running away, Chen Kan's face suddenly darkened.
He originally thought that Zhu Gaoxu had changed his gender, but he didn't expect that he would still be evil, and instead left Zhu Zhanhe to him.
Does he mean to compete fairly with Zhu Gaochi?
After a moment of silence, Chen Kan calmly ordered: "Yuncheng, send someone to follow them. The little guy is injured. Don't let him fall into the water. Prepare a portion of the medicinal bath that the imperial doctor prescribed to me last time." "
If a child has an injury, moving more will help the injury heal, but it should not exceed one degree.
That little guy has a strong temper. When Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi play crazy, he won't make a sound no matter how painful he is.
Before confiscating his disciples, Zhu Gaoxu had no objection to how he treated the little guy Chen Kan, but now that he has opened this door, he must treat everyone equally.
After all these bad things, Chen Kan no longer wanted to eat.
Yuncheng knew how to take care of people, so he temporarily put Zhu Zhanhe's matter behind him and started thinking about other things.
Now that Zhu Gaoxu has returned to the capital, judging from his performance today, there is no doubt that he is still eyeing the position of prince.
What's more, Zhu Di also needs someone to balance the prince's power to prevent the prince from becoming bigger in the court.
There is also a scheming Zhu Gaosui on the side, secretly arrogant.
It can be expected that the court will not be very stable in the next few years.
This year is only the second year of Yongle, and everything has just begun.
Zhu Gaochi was not yet deeply rooted in the court.
Zhu Gaoxu wants to seize the throne of prince, and these few years are the best golden time.
Otherwise, after a few years when Zhu Gaochi secures his position as prince, the difficulty for Zhu Gaoxu to seize the throne will increase exponentially.
Therefore, in the next few years, the competition for reserves will inevitably become more and more intense.
Chen Kan didn't want to go into this muddy water, so the best way was to stay away from the court.
After straightening out his thoughts, Chen Kan felt that a trip to Beijing might be put on the agenda.
but.
Before going to Beijing, there is another problem that needs to be solved first.
The true Buddha of the White Lotus Sect, or the one hidden behind the true Buddha.
Chen Kan has always adhered to the concept of attacking first to gain strength and attacking later to suffer disaster.
When Tang Xian'er was shot to death that day, she once said that she was the only daughter of the true Buddha.
Then the true Buddha's daughter died at his own hands, so there is no reason why the true Buddha should not take action to avenge his only daughter.
Therefore, he has been investigating the whereabouts of the real Buddha and is preparing to eradicate it to the end.
But when Han Delu was interrogated later, Han Delu told Chen Kan that the real Buddha was probably not named Tang.
Even the True Buddha and the White Lotus Virgin are puppets pushed out by someone.
This had to give Chen Kan some strange thoughts.
After all, theoretically speaking, the Holy Mother of White Lotus and the True Buddha are the apparent supreme rulers of the White Lotus Sect.
If they are all just puppets, how deep should the mastermind behind it be?
Before leaving the capital, Chen Kan prepared to completely resolve this matter.
Otherwise, the White Lotus Sect would carry out an attack on the road. It wouldn't matter if it was just Chen Kan. He was used to all kinds of assassinations.
But this time Chen Kan plans to move his family. In addition to him, there is also a princess, two grandsons, and a young lady.
Whenever the White Lotus Sect hurts any of them, Chen Kan will never forgive himself.
So instead of leaving hidden dangers on the road, it is better to solve them once and for all.
It just so happened that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had made some results after their investigation, which was enough for Chen Kan's layout.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Kan calmly ordered: "Send a letter of greeting to Prince Zhao's Mansion and prepare some gifts. Tomorrow the Marquis plans to visit His Highness Prince Zhao."
...
The next day, Chen Kan entered Prince Zhao's Mansion with a carriage of gifts.
At the same time, the large army of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, who received instructions from Chen Kan, quickly divided into two parts. One part headed towards Lao Yaguan, and the other part quickly took control of Donghe Town.
To scare a snake, you must first kill the grass.
Since the opponent was still reluctant to take action, Chen Kan had no choice but to take the lead in attacking.
The news about the Five Cities Military and Horse Division reached Prince Zhao's Mansion, and Zhu Gaosui looked very unhappy.
"Chen Kan, should you give me an explanation? I finally found the traces of the saint. With your making such a fuss, the clues I finally found have been broken again."
Zhu Gaosui sat on the main seat and looked at Chen Kan with a livid face.
Since the Baochao Department and the Ordnance Supervisor were attacked, he has taken over most of the forces of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department.
After half a year of operation, there is a faint tendency to replace Xu Yuan as the second in command of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
Chen Kan knew that this was Zhu Di's balancing act, so he didn't care about him. As long as he didn't touch the core interests of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, he would let him grow wildly.
Chen Kan took a sip of tea with a faint smile on his face.
Facing Zhu Gaosui's cross-examination, Chen Kanfeng said calmly: "Your Highness, don't be anxious, she is just a saint and cannot cause any trouble. When I take action to lure the real Buddha out this time, Your Majesty can investigate as much as you want." check."
Zhu Gaosui said with a dark face: "There is no debate whether there is a true Buddha or not, but if the saint runs away, then she really ran away."
Chen Kan smiled slightly: "There must be a true Buddha. I even have some guesses about his identity, but there is no evidence to prove my guess yet."
Hearing this, Zhu Gaosui still had a bad face: "Guess, I also guess that he is in the capital."
Seeing that the situation was developing into a quarrel, Chen Kan quickly made up for it: "My lord, please calm down. Why argue about trivial matters?"
"It's a small matter, but in your eyes, Marquis Jinghai, what is a big deal?"
Chen Kan smiled and said: "I am here today not to quarrel with you, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has this attitude, I will have no choice but to leave first."
"snort!"
Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly and stopped being angry at Chen Kan.
He turned around and asked: "Since we are not here to quarrel, then I wonder what the purpose of Jinghaihou's visit today is?"
After going around and around and finally getting down to business, Chen Kan didn't show off and said in deep thought: "I have found out the connection between the residents of Donghe Town and Laoya Temple.
Lao Ya Guan provided a batch of raw materials for the Bliss Pill, which will be cultivated by the residents of Donghe Town. Lao Ya Guan will then buy them back at a high price. I guess they are betting that the most dangerous place is the safest.
But they may not have expected that the imperial court would build a naval academy in Donghe Town, which made them self-defeating and exposed the location of Laoyaguan.
If my guess is correct, Laoya Temple is a very important stronghold for them, otherwise there would be no seeds of Paradise Pill.
Now that the seeds of this batch of Paradise Pills have been released, Lao Yaguan is surrounded by people under my command. The people behind the scenes will definitely not give up.
Therefore, I plan to use my body as bait to lure them out. And what the prince wants to do is that yellow bird. "
Chen Kan quickly revealed his plan.
He used his body as a bait to lure the true Buddha to come forward and killed the true Buddha's only daughter. It was impossible for the true Buddha to let go of such great hatred.
Contrary to the conspiracy of cheating death, this is an upright conspiracy.
Discovering Lao Ya Guan means that I have noticed you. Will you save me or not?
Save, my plan to lure you out will succeed.
If you don’t save me, your daughter will be killed by me, and Laoya Temple will be destroyed by me. But you, a true Buddha, are just like a coward, and you don’t even dare to avenge your daughter. How can you gather people’s hearts in the White Lotus Sect?
Therefore, although using one's body as bait is risky, the corresponding benefits will also be high.
After listening to Chen Kan’s plan. Zhu Gaosui frowned and said, "Why don't you cooperate with Jin Yiwei on this kind of thing?"
Chen Kan shook his head: "I can't trust Ji Gang. Although the combat effectiveness of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is a bit inferior, there is no choice in loyalty. I don't want to die from a stray arrow shot from behind at a critical moment."
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Gaosui said angrily: "Okay, if you die, I will find a good son-in-law for my sister. Don't worry."
"hehe."
"Then your Highness may not be able to fulfill your wish. I am a tough man and the Lord of Hell will not accept it."
After joking, Chen Kan stood up and left.
Zhu Gaosui did not get up to see him off, but just watched Chen Kan walk away indifferently.
Walking out of the door of Prince Zhao's Mansion means that Chen Kan's plan has officially taken effect.
He could be assassinated at any time by anyone from any direction.
Seeing the nervous look of his bodyguards, Chen Kan stopped and said, "Don't be so nervous. I am determined to die."
"Bang~"
Before he finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the distance.
Chen Kan only felt a pain in his heart, and then he took out a long breath with difficulty and cursed: "Damn it, who told him to use Suifa Fire Gun? It hurts me to death."
Fang Xu shouted: "Protect the Marquis."
The entire bodyguard team instantly became confused.
This gunshot was of course arranged by Chen Kan, with the purpose of confusing the public and making those who were monitoring him in the dark mistakenly think that their companions had taken action.
Fortunately, Chen Kan was prepared. He wore three layers of soft armor and more than ten layers of silk under his clothes.
Otherwise, before the White Lotus cultists could take action, he would be shot by his own people first.
"Two to the southeast, three to the west, and one to the south."
Fang Xu was counting down the people who had moved after hearing the gunshot.
Chen Kan spoke with difficulty: "Send someone to follow them."
