Domineering Daming

Cao Bianjiao didn't move, he followed Zhu Xu for a long time, and knew that what just happened might be the reason, but there must be a more important reason behind it!

Zhu Xu turned his head and looked at him, as if he had seen through him, and said with a slight smile: "These are the reasons, and there is another reason I didn't say, that is, since this year, I have always been uneasy in the palace, and I want to go out from time to time. Sometimes it's even difficult to control, and after thinking about it, I found out that it was a sense of insecurity, I didn't feel safe in the palace..."

Cao Huachun's complexion changed, thinking of what happened just now, he knelt down on one knee and said in a serious voice, "Please issue an order from the emperor, I will lead troops to put down the rebellion!"

Zhu Xu shook his head, and said with a smile: "This sense of crisis does not come from someone trying to rebel, but that my reforms are getting more and more touched, and will attract more and more opponents, which reminds me of an anomaly a long time ago. It is a real dream, so it makes my heart uneasy, there is such a trace of fear..."

Cao Bianjiao still didn't know why, so he could only kneel there.

Zhu Xu got up, helped him up, and said: "Don't tell the outside world about this beforehand. Tomorrow we will go straight to Tianjin Wei, then turn around and go to Shandong from the Grand Canal, and then go down the South River. You let Jin Yiwei get ready, Tianjin, Dengzhou Two boats for each, with cavalry guarding the shore..."

"Follow the order." Cao Bianjiao raised his hand and said.

Zhu Xu nodded, and looked towards the direction of the capital again. It won't be long before the capital will know the news, and they don't know what the chaos will be like.

"Chaos, chaos, if I don't leave, you can't mess up..."

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, with a faint smile on his lips.

It was getting dark gradually, Zhu Xu and his group were sitting together, everyone was very restrained with him, he shook his head secretly, he might as well be run on by Li Dingguo, and got into the carriage early to rest.

In the black night sky, carrier pigeons flew from all directions, and then rushed into the capital.

Zhu Xu was lying on the wall, dozing off with his eyes closed.

I don't know how long it took, Cao Bianjiao handed him a secret note, and then retreated respectfully.

Zhu Xu spread out with some doubts, and then knew why Cao Bianjiao was so cautious, and retreated to avoid suspicion.

There are only eleven simple words: "Believe in the king and call him sick, if you want to delay the vassal, please ask the holy judge."

"Brother Huang, Brother Huang, what do you want me to do with you..."

Zhu Xu sighed helplessly. Zhu Youjian said that he "wanted to slow down", but in fact he just stayed in the capital and refused to leave.

At this time, not only him, but also the courtiers will not allow him to stay in the capital. He has always been vigilant towards the courtiers of the clan, and the trust in the king is special, so there is absolutely no saying that he can stay in the capital for a long time.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhu Xu also hoped that Zhu Youjian could leave as soon as possible to avoid the vortex. Taiwan was waiting to be rebuilt. It was just set up not long ago. Maybe he could flex his muscles there and realize his long-cherished wish.

But Zhu Youjian didn't know that publishing this memorial at this time was equivalent to his death talisman. Even if Zhu Xu had no intention of moving him, the courtiers would try their best to drive him away. Even the cabinet cannot sit idly by and will take some extraordinary measures.

For example, forcibly sent away, or even sent to prison for crimes!

Zhu Xu looked at this secret letter and said nothing for a long time, Zhu Youjian...does it have anything to do with those people?

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, if he died suddenly without heirs, only Zhu Youjian had a son in Guangzong's lineage, and Zhu Youjian's eldest son would succeed him!

"The situation is a bit complicated..."

Zhu Xu rubbed his eyebrows. With the deepening of the reform, various problems have been exposed. There are more and more "offended" people and forces, intertwined and complicated, and difficult to distinguish.

Struggling with contradictions!

Zhu Xu didn't want Zhu Youjian to die, and wanted him to leave, but Zhu Youjian was determined to stay, and there were still some things behind him that he hadn't investigated clearly and he couldn't let him go.

After a long while, Zhu Xu's eyes suddenly fixed, and he said to himself: "Since you want to stay, you should know what you will face if you stay. I'll see if you are a human or a ghost!"

Chapter 598 It's Already Different

"Cao Bianjiao, sent a letter to the Supervisor of Rituals to draw up an order, and the king is allowed to recuperate in Beijing, and when he is well healed, he will return to the feudal domain."

Zhu Xu's voice came from inside the carriage, extremely calm.

Cao Bianjiao looked up at the carriage and said, "Observe the order."

His expression was a bit complicated. King Xin stayed in the capital at this time, making things even more unpredictable.

Chen Huxiao, Li Biaotou and the others were not too far away from the carriage, and they all heard Zhu Xuping's voice, and the three "ordinary people" could feel something unusual in it.

In the hidden village, the copper mask carried people and moved quickly, and even a fire burned the village clean.

One copper mask was shot by Cao Bianjiao's rainstorm pear blossom needle and couldn't be saved, the other was wrapped in a blood-stained white cloth, and he said with gloomy eyes: "The dog emperor is really lucky, it is impossible to think of another chance! "

The leader's copper mask was slightly injured, and his eyes were full of unwillingness. He gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect that the dog emperor is so greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are cavalry guarding him secretly. It is impossible to kill him. The most important thing now is to kill him." The purpose is to transfer the clansmen to achieve great things!"

The copper mask on the side was full of remorse, and said bitterly: "There must be a chance! Isn't the dog emperor going to tour the south of the Yangtze River? In the south of the Yangtze River, there must be other places to kill the dog emperor!"

The leading masked man moved his eyes slightly, nodded and said, "You're right, anyway, the news has already been released, we will go south to prepare first, in Jiangnan, we have plenty of ways to find out the dog emperor's every move, and then look for opportunities!"

"Okay!" Another masked man sneered and said, "This time, we will definitely kill the dog emperor and avenge the world!"

The leading masked man looked at the fire in the village, his eyes flickered coldly, and he said, "I have already sent someone to inform them in the capital, asking them to hold back for the time being, so that Emperor Dog can go south with peace of mind."

"Well, unless the dog emperor is always protected by heavy troops, he will face a steady stream of assassinations!" Another masked man said happily.

The two of them spoke a few more words, galloped away, and disappeared into the blackness.

The sky was getting dark, and Bi Ziyan finally got the news, and got up from the bed in a hurry, with a look of unconcealable panic.

"Master, where are you going so late?" Mrs. Bi asked anxiously as she looked at Bi Zi who was getting dressed and was about to go out.

Bi Ziyan looked worried, and even more worried in his heart.

The emperor didn't play his cards according to common sense, and he didn't know how big and unpredictable the consequences would be. He was assassinated in just one day. If something really happened, the whole Ming Dynasty would fall into an unpredictable crisis!

"Go to sleep, I'll go out for a while." Bi Ziyan frowned, opened the door as he spoke, and strode out.

As soon as he reached the door, a middle-aged man walked over quickly and said, "Where are you going, my lord?"

Bi Ziyan looked at Mr. Xixi, hesitated for a while, and said patiently: "The emperor has already left the palace ahead of time. I will go to Fu's mansion now to see Fu Changzong."

Mr. Xixi's expression was calm, giving people a feeling of wisdom pearls in his hands, and he smiled and said: "Your Excellency is the second assistant of the cabinet. If you have anything to do, you can just summon him directly. How can there be any reason to come to the door in the middle of the night?"

Since Bi Ziyan stopped, he took advantage of the situation to calm himself down, shook his head and said: "You know who Fu Changzong is, the emperor left Beijing in advance, and the 'emergency yamen' was controlled by Wei Zhongxian, holding Shang Fang's sword, with righteousness in mind, my official He may not care about it. However, he must not be allowed to do whatever he wants, and the only one who can suppress Wei Zhongxian in the entire capital is Fu Changzong."

The teacher looked calm, and said: "How can you be sure that Fu Shangshu can suppress Wei Zhongxian? How can you be sure that he will come forward? The emperor left Beijing ahead of time. Others may not know it, but Fu Shangshu may not."

Bi Ziyan's eyes changed slightly, thinking of Fu Changzong's strange behavior during the day, he said with a sense of enlightenment: "Fu Changzong should know about it, but Wei Zhongxian's actions must be controlled, once it exceeds the scope that the cabinet can handle, the whole Beizhili will be killed." total chaos..."

The teacher looked at Bi Ziyan, and pondered: "My lord, the cabinet and the six ministers all hope that the government will be stable and the reform of the new policy will be gradually promoted. However, this may not be the emperor's intention."

Bi Ziyan had a lot of contact with Zhu Xu, so he naturally had some understanding of his thinking, but he was still confused. He looked at the teacher and said, "The new policy was promoted by the emperor and gradually established. Logically speaking, the emperor should understand the situation, and the current situation needs to be stabilized." That's the most important thing, but why the emperor still uses Wei Zhongxian to do such a drastic and disruptive thing, I really can't figure it out..."

The teacher smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's not just my lord, except for Fu Shangshu in the court, everyone else is very confused, right?"

"Remove Fu Changzong?" Bi Ziyan looked thoughtful, nodded and said: "Fu Changzong does have a plan, but he never said anything, how much can you guess?"

Xi Xi lowered his head slightly, and immediately said: "The current emperor is the hero who is going after the Taizu Taizong. The strategy in his chest is difficult for outsiders to fathom. If he doesn't speak out, it will be difficult for others to understand. Usually it takes a long time before he can understand." Some clues can be seen from it, and the whole picture can be deduced from it. Although the "emergency yamen" was activated this time because of the squires and slaves, and the collusion of bandits, there is no need to use Wei Zhongxian. Once it starts, it means that the emperor has already Planning is definitely not an act of anger."
