Chapter 27 Unpredictable
Zhu Youjian struck his palm three times in a row and said, "You heard what I just said." Then, from behind the screen, a person's voice came out, "I heard it all."
The voice was not loud, but sharp. It was neither male nor female. It should have been made by a eunuch. He called himself Lao Nu, so naturally he was an eunuch. Accompanying his voice, an elder wearing eunuch clothes came out and said respectfully.
Standing respectfully beside Zhu Youjian
"Wang Banban, do you think Zhu Yousong's method is feasible?" Zhu Youjian said coldly
The eunuch's name was Wang Chengen, and he had been serving Zhu Youjian since he was a child. Therefore, Zhu Youjian always politely called him Banban.
"Your Majesty, Prince Fu's idea has a very low chance of success. As he said, Yue Su already has the most power in the world. Not to mention many party members, the people who lead the army include many governors of Shandong and Governor Xuanda, all of whom are his confidants.
Jian Yuesu is also a man who is good at fighting. If you fight with him, you are likely to end up with the whole family destroyed," Wang Chengen said carefully.
"Yes, although I, the prince, have been wronged and worried all day long, I am still a prince after all. I have good clothes and good food, so I don't need to take this risk. However, now that Zhu Yousong has left the palace, it seems that he plans to go to Shanhaiguan to see Yuan Chonghuan. I don't know who Yuan Chonghuan is.
What do you mean, once you capture him directly, what should you do? If you bite me out again, the court may not listen to my explanation," Zhu Youjian said with some embarrassment.
"The prince is right. Looking at it now, the safest way is to go out and report Prince Fu to the court. Only in this way can the prince protect himself," Wang Chengen said
"Come forward to report..." Zhu Youjian hesitated and said: "Once I report the crime, he will definitely lose his life. I have the closest relationship with him in the clan, otherwise he can't come to me and let me do it."
Reporting him would be equivalent to asking me to kill him with my own hands. This makes me unbearable."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian shook his head repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, if you don't show up, what will happen if the matter is exposed, or if Yuan Chonghuan is allowed to capture him? Then, not only will he still die, but you, the Prince, will also be implicated..." Wang Chengen
Advise with earnest words
"Banban, let me think about it again. I really don't want to watch my brother die," Zhu Youjian said with difficulty.
"Your Majesty, you don't have much time left. I just heard from Prince Fu that this matter seems to be a must-do. If it's too late, Your Majesty, you won't even have a chance to clear your name," Wang Chengen advised again.
"Banban, if this is not the case, let me wait one night and then make a decision tomorrow night," Zhu Youjian said
"That's good" Wang Chengen nodded and said
That night, Zhu Youjian was not even in the mood to eat but just sat in a daze. Princess Zhou Yufeng at the same table couldn't help but wonder. Zhu Youjian had been very secretive about Prince Fu's arrival. She didn't know that Zhou Yufeng was a thrifty person.
She was still very cautious, because there were servants waiting on her side, so she did not ask why her husband was in a trance.
It was not until night, when the couple went to bed in the same room and lay down on the bed that Zhou Yufeng whispered: "Your Majesty, I see that you are worried in the morning. Have you encountered something difficult?"
"No..." Although Zhu Youjian said this, there was a hint of sigh in his tone.
"Your Majesty, you and I have been married for many years, and you have something on your mind. Why can't I tell you that I am a prostitute? I shouldn't have asked more questions, but seeing my husband in trouble makes me feel uneasy..." Zhou Yufeng said earnestly.
"My beloved concubine... alas..." Zhu Youjian sighed and said, "In that case, I might as well tell you that during the day today, King Fu came quietly to persuade me..."
The two of them have been married for many years, and Zhu Youjian still trusts his wife, so he doesn't hide it and tells him everything about Prince Fu's persuasion to rebel.
"Ah..." Zhou Yufeng couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing this, and said: "This, what should I do..."
"Wang Banban persuaded me to go to the court, report Prince Fu, and save myself, but I really can't bear it. After all, Prince Fu is my brother from the same clan, how could I kill him with my own hands..." Zhu Youjian said in embarrassment.
"My lord, you must not be responsible for this matter..." Zhou Yufeng said quickly
"Why?" Zhu Youjian asked puzzledly
"The Queen Mother has always been very wary of the Prince. Even if the Prince reported this matter, the Queen Mother would only be more wary of the Prince. The so-called "nothing can be done without trouble". If Yue Su and Zhang Yan were really innocent, how could the news be spread?
There are rumors that the prince has reported Prince Fu, and Prince Fu will inevitably die, and the Queen Mother will not keep the prince in the world anymore, and will definitely look for opportunities to get rid of the prince." Zhou Yufeng has always been thoughtful, and she understands that this kind of matter related to the throne of the emperor,
There will definitely be bloodshed. When Zhu Di seized the throne, how many people died. It was because of the fear of the feudal king. The Ming court was very strict with the feudal king. If there was the slightest mistake, it would be suspected of having second thoughts, and it would be easy to lose one's life.
"My dear concubine, according to what you said, whether this king is reporting or reporting, I will not worry about my life. King Fu has now gone to lobby Yuan Chonghuan. When he arrives at Shanhaiguan, he is very likely to be captured. When the time comes, I will be surrendered.
If you become an accomplice, you can kill everyone in my family without making any excuses! Over the years, I have always adhered to my duty, but I have to suffer such an unreasonable disaster..." After saying this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Your Majesty, please feel sorry for me. Listening to what I said about the current situation, it is very obvious that the Queen Mother and Yue Su have shown ill intentions towards the King of the Zhu clan. Just as King Fu said, when the rogue bandits were weak, Yue Su originally
When he had the opportunity, he mobilized troops and horses to wipe out all the bandits, but he did not do so. He even allowed the bandits to grow bigger and killed several vassal kings. Such carefulness could not be said to be vicious. When the bandits first arrived in Dengzhou, thanks to the concerted efforts of everyone, they finally succeeded.
Guard the city, otherwise, you and I, just like the Fu Wang who was cooked to death, will not escape death. You and I escaped, which shows that the sky is favoring us. There is a saying that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. Maybe the prince is this
The real emperor of the Ming Dynasty might have heard that Governor Yuan was always upright and unafraid of power, and he dared to impeach Governor Xiong Tingbi in the first place. It can be seen that King Fu is now going to lobby Yuan Chonghuan, and Yuan Chonghuan may not be able to take advantage of King Fu, and since King Fu has the courage
If you go, you will definitely have something to rely on. I think it’s better for the prince not to rush out and just wait and see what happens,” Zhou Yufeng said.
"this……"
His wife is trying to persuade him to rebel. Zhu Youjian couldn't help but ponder, and after thinking for a while, he said: "What my concubine said makes sense. Let me think about it again. It's getting late, so let's not talk about it for now.
Just sleep peacefully”
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
Zhu Youjian woke up early in the morning and freshened up hastily. He didn't even eat breakfast, so he went to the back study. As soon as he arrived in the back study, he ordered someone to find Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen hurriedly came to see Zhu Youjian and saluted quickly, "I see the prince, I don't know what the prince's order is for calling me here so early."
"There is no need to be polite, please come closer and talk." Zhu Youjian said and waved to Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen saw that Zhu Youjian had something important to give him, so he quickly walked to his side and stood in front of him.
"Banban, you are the person I trust the most. I have something I want you to do personally," Zhu Youjian said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, just give me your orders," Wang Chengen said in a low voice.
"I will write a memorial to accuse King Fu later. You can take a few of your confidants and quietly bring them to Bejng. However, don't be in a hurry to submit them. Stay at the Yuelai Inn and wait there. Someone will come there when the time comes.
I'm looking for you to submit a memorial, that person will tell you," Zhu Youjian said in a low voice.
"Old slave obeys orders"
Wang Chengen entered the palace at a young age and had no relatives or children. In his heart, he already regarded Zhu Youjian as his own son unconsciously. Therefore, he was not just purely loyal to Zhu Youjian. It can be said that even if
He sacrificed himself for Zhu Youjian, and he did not hesitate to do so.
Through Zhu Youjian's instructions, he had already guessed what Zhu Youjian meant, but he did not stop him because he also understood the truth. Now that he has reported King Fu, King Fu will die, but King Xin's wife may not have an easy life either.
There are too many examples where blood will be shed on matters related to the throne, even if they are blood brothers.
Zhu Youjian immediately wrote a memorial and asked Wang Chengen to take it with him. He took two close followers and set off immediately to bejng

Besides, Zhu Yousong, after leaving Prince Xin's Mansion, immediately left Dengzhou with his people and went north to Shanhaiguan. This time, Zhu Yousong could be said to have risked beheading. As King Fu, when his father was still alive, it could be said that he was
They were all majestic, but since the death of the old man, their majesty seemed to have been wiped out. They failed in the battle with Yue Su in Luoyang. The court was trying to prevaricate and help outsiders. And the current prefect of Luoyang did not give himself much face, that is, he was reluctant to do so.
It was passable. Thinking about it at the time, looking at it now, Zhu Yousong felt dissatisfied.
When he heard that the current emperor might be the son of Yue Su and Zhang Yan, after thinking about this rumor, he couldn't help but think from the bottom of his heart that the rumor was true. Otherwise, Zhang Yan always helped outsiders.
Those who bully their old Zhu family
The power of the Zhu family cannot be occupied by outsiders and must be taken back. However, he definitely does not have the strength now. Therefore, the first person who comes to mind is Zhu Youjian, because Zhu Youjian is the death of Zhu Youxiao.
If the person sitting on the throne now is not a descendant of the Zhu family, then Zhu Youjian is the first heir and should be the emperor.
Zhu Yousong did not think about rebelling and becoming the emperor. He understood that he would not succeed on his own. The only way was to put Zhu Youjian on the table. If he had a chance, he would fight for it. If there was no chance, let Zhu Youjian
He hates Yue Su and Zhang Yan. He didn't have the chance before. How about killing Yue Su? But now the opportunity has finally come. As long as he seizes this opportunity, he may kill Yue Su.
Trampled to death underfoot
On this day, he finally arrived at Shanhaiguan. He did not go to Yuan Chonghuan immediately. Instead, he found a hotel to stay and asked someone to send a letter to the Governor's Mansion in Jiliao.
However, he never expected that when he entered the inn with his front foot, there would be someone following him in (to be continued)
