How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

"What about people?"

Sun Yuanhua, who finally went to the eunuch to file a false report, ran out and could no longer see the person who named Lixin.

Fortunately, a craftsman told me.

Mr. Feng had important matters to attend to and had left a step ahead of schedule. He left a message asking him to leave the city directly and meet again at the Imperial Tomb of Tianshou Mountain.

Sun Yuanhua listened and stamped his feet.

Mr. Feng, Mr. Feng!

The capital is a hundred miles away from Mount Tianshou.

Won't you take me and let me walk until tomorrow morning?

However, tempted by the new gun, Sun Yuanhua went to the horse dealer to rent a fast horse and rode out of the city before sunset.

……

On the other side, taking advantage of the last ray of sunset.

Jinyu Alley, at the side entrance of the Tenth Prince's Mansion.

Two figures walked in quietly.

This is the residence of King Xin Zhu Youjian.

Because he had a very good relationship with the emperor's brother Zhu Youxiao and was not yet an adult, Zhu Youjian never became a vassal.

In recent years, he has lived in the Tenth Prince's Mansion, waiting for his upcoming wedding.

At the same time, living in the capital also makes it easy to do a lot of things secretly, and he is always plotting to overthrow his brother's throne.

"The official title is Xin... pay homage to His Highness King Xin."

When Shen Lian led Feng Lixin in, Zhu Youjian had already changed into casual clothes.

However, Feng Lixin still followed the rules and bowed deeply to the other party.

"Aiya...Mr. Feng, you have defeated the little king."

Seeing Feng Lixin arriving, Zhu Youjian smiled happily and took two quick steps to stop him.

"Don't be polite, sir. When you come to our Tenth Prince's Mansion, it's like going back to your own home. Come on, Xiao Wang will show you around."

With that said, he pulled Li Xin towards the backyard as if there was no one else around.

"Your Highness..."

Li Xin raised his head, hesitated to speak, and finally suppressed the words in his mouth.

He wanted to ask immediately if you, Zhu Youjian, could solve my worries.

But I understand.

From the moment they stepped into the Ten Princes' Palace, the competition between the two sides had already begun.

Everyone knows what the other person wants, it just depends on who loses his composure first.

The one who speaks first will inevitably be at a disadvantage and be passive.

Li Xin had no choice but to follow Zhu Youjian around the Ten Princes' Mansion and visit the other party's huge family property.

Finally, when the sky darkened completely, Zhu Youjian ordered someone to light the crystal lantern that was a tribute from the Netherlands, illuminating the entire Ten Princes' Palace.

Li Xin sighed silently.

The wine and meat in Zhumen are stinky, and the bones on the road are frozen to death. This is an eternal truth.

When the two of them walked to the pavilion in the back garden of the palace, a sumptuous dinner was already spread across the table.

Zhu Youjian smiled and asked Li Xin to sit down, and drove away all the maids and attendants, leaving only Lu Wenzhao and Shen Lian bowing beside him.

"Haha, sir, we have to leave each other after two years of Tianqi. I really miss Xiao Wang."

When he arrived at his own territory, Zhu Youjian looked more relaxed. He picked up a wine glass made of white jade and raised it to Li Xin.

"Xiao Wang drank this cup to the full, please sir, please don't refuse...cough cough cough..."

After saying that, Zhu Youjian drank all the wine in the cup, which was about two taels.

He was obviously not good at drinking. After drinking, he coughed violently, his face turned red, and he even retched.

"Your Highness..."

When Lu Wenzhao saw this, he hurriedly wanted to pour some water for Zhu Youjian, but was stopped by the other party with a wave of his hand.

"Hahaha... good wine, good wine... Sir, Xiao Wang hasn't had such a good drink in a long time. How about we stay drunk today?"

Zhu Youjian suppressed the turmoil in his stomach, filled the glass with wine again, and raised the glass again, with a heroic look on his face.

Li Xin watched silently throughout the process, sighing in his heart.

Historical records indicate that Zhu Youjian did not like drinking, and even hated it.

After he became Emperor Chongzhen, he became even more frugal and ordered all officials not to drink or have fun in order to save military expenses.

Just such a guy who has never drank before toasting a glass of wine in front of him?

Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian, you are only fifteen years old this year.

Although he will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor next year, there are too many things to worry about.

Li Xin didn't like him either. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay! Your Highness, drink this cup to the full."

After saying that, he filled himself up again, raised the cup and drank again.

Zhu Youjian:......

Um... Feng Lixin, you are outrageous!

If others see me like this, they will burst into tears of gratitude and quickly advise me not to drink alcohol, as it is too harmful to the body.

My mother-in-law is only fifteen years old, you just let me drink like this?

What if I drink myself to death?

It's a pity that Feng Lixin obviously doesn't know how to care for women, or he doesn't have any vision.

After finishing the glass of wine, he looked at Zhu Youjian in surprise.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that you won't come home until you get drunk tonight?"

"Yes, yes...you won't come home until you're drunk..."

Zhu Youjian had a look on his face and raised his glass in embarrassment and drank again.

"vomit……"

He almost threw up on the spot.

It was a full four ounces of wine, and I drank it down in two sips, which was more than I drank in a year.

Unexpectedly, Li Xin didn't wait for him to take a breath and filled the cup again.

"Your Highness, please drink this cup to the full!"

Gudong!

He drank it all in one gulp without changing his expression.

Zhu Youjian saw it, resisting the urge to scold his mother, and thought to himself: If I help you alone, help you with those weird things in Huangling Town, and help you with the unparalleled skills of the Feng family, how can An be so desperate?

Aren't you moved?

He had no choice but to drink the wine in the glass again, and six ounces of wine was poured in in the blink of an eye.

"vomit……"

The dignified King Xin Zhu Youjian finally couldn't help but lay down outside the pavilion and vomited.

This shocked Lu Wenzhao, but made Shen Lian extremely happy.

Should!

You deserve it!

It's time for someone to deal with this little prince who likes to show off.

I'm reluctant to give away one hundred thousand taels of silver. I really don't know how you can win over so many talented people.

"Your Highness..."

Lu Wenzhao had already rushed over and hurriedly patted the young prince on the back.

After a while of tossing, Zhu Youjian sat back down with a pale face.

Li Xin still had a calm expression, filled the glass with wine again, and raised it slightly.

"Your Highness, please drink this cup to the full..."

As he spoke, he poured it into his mouth and swallowed it.

Zhu Youjian went completely crazy.

What are you doing, brother?

You don't play like this.

Is it me who wants to win over you, or you who want to win over me?

Do you really want me to kneel down and beg you, saying, brother, I really can’t drink anymore?

The young prince stopped Li Xin's hand and looked pleading.

"Sir! You...you should know Gu's thoughts..."

Li Xin finally stopped, looked at the pale King Xin blankly, and sighed.

Of course I know your thoughts, Zhu Youjian.

You want to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, you want Li Daitao to be dead, you want your eldest brother to die, so that you can become the most wise and mighty emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Can……

You are a king of subjugation, brother.

You are headstrong, suspicious and cruel, you like to take the blame, and you have no responsibility.

After taking the throne, you killed countless people, and many loyal people of the Ming Dynasty died under your butcher knife.

Not to mention killing Yuan Chonghuan, he probably deserves to die.

But what about others?

Once they are suspected by you or make you angry, you will kill them.

During the seventeen years since he ascended the throne, he has been busy and sighing at night, but he single-handedly pushed the Ming Empire into the abyss.

Tell the truth.

If your brother had continued to rule the Ming Dynasty, it might not have collapsed so quickly.

You overturned the balance between the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party with one hand, and abolished the mature cabinet system with the other.

The real chaos in the world starts with you.

How do you want me to accompany you to your death?

What's more, I don't have this ambition. I just want to save the fate of the entire human race hundreds of years from now.

In fact, what Li Xin couldn't tolerate the most was.

The case of Zhang Yan’s murder also had a vague shadow of King Xin.

How do you want me to sacrifice my life for you?

long silence.

Li Xin said quietly: "His Royal Highness, King Xin, you should also know my thoughts."

When Zhu Youjian heard this, his heart sank.
