After Li Zhaofan said that, dozens of guards in front of him were protecting him, and he seemed alert.

The carriages and horses began to slow down.

Li Zhaofan was anxious.

He shouted: "Duke of Qi, beware of assassins!"

The word assassin fell.

The convoy suddenly seemed to be in an uproar.

In an instant, dozens of guards drew their swords, and several carriages followed behind them. Among the carriages, there were one, two, three, four, five... seventeen... twenty-one...

Li Zhaofan was dumbfounded. Twenty-one cars got out of the car, no, there are...

Twenty-five…Twenty-six…Thirty-one…

Li Zhaofan began to be confused.

He only read the idle book "The Good Husband of the Ming Dynasty" and realized that one day, there were countless strange people in Zhu Kingdom, and one carriage and horse, which could hide dozens of people. Today... This carriage and horse, which could only be held by several people... Such a fully armed guy actually popped up...

Li Zhaofan looked confused.

Someone shouted: "Assassin!"

A sound of assassin.

The nearby streets seem to have become less peaceful.

Countless passers-by came out from somewhere, holding a revolver gun, bang... A firework was set off by someone, and the dazzling fireworks illuminated the dark morning sky.

So...the densely packed people, dressed in various responsibilities, poured out from all directions.

Hundreds and thousands of them were so thunderous... They all took out all kinds of weapons.

Li Zhaofan was frightened and his legs trembled.

Dozens of large shield hands immediately raised large shields and surrounded the first carriage.

Then, someone came towards Li Zhaofan, came to Li Zhaofan, and sternly said, "Who is that?"

This is already very polite to Li Zhaofan.

What Li Zhaofan didn't know was that at least dozens of long and short muskets had already aimed at him from all directions.

But even if it was just a knight's questioning, it was enough to shock him: "I...I...I am Li Zhaofan, and my father's name is Dongyang."

"Son of Mr. Li, why are you here yelling to assassinate?"

"I..." Li Zhaofan looked speechless.

He was completely convinced by Fang Jifan. This guy would probably not be able to die no matter how he assassinated him.

Everyone in the capital was dead. Looking at his situation, he was still jumping around.

Li Zhaofan smiled bitterly and said, "I am here to announce the public warning to Qi State by my father. Today... something is going to happen. Someone has bad intentions towards Qi State..."

There was no movement in the carriage for a while.

It seemed that the people in the car had heard these words from afar and opened the car door.

The door is made of three-layer sandwich steel plates. When opened, it is extremely thick.

Fang Jifan poked his head out and said, "Oh, it's Mr. Li. Come on, come on, Rufu and I are friends. In short, you are still my eldest nephew. Li's eldest nephew, come close, Wang Bao, search for his body."

The man who called Wang Bao jumped off the horse and touched Li Zhaofan with rough hands. He was sure that he did not have sharp weapons on his body, so he allowed Li Zhaofan to go forward.

Li Zhaofan was speechless.

However, he kept his duties in mind and did not dare to act rashly. He stepped forward. Fang Jifan got back into the car. Someone asked him to get on the car. Li Zhaofan bowed into the car and saw Fang Jifan leaning on the sofa, looking at Li Zhaofan. Li Zhaofan bowed and said what his father had told him. Then he said, "My father judged that something will happen today... I must be careful... My father judged that the target of their attack was either Duke of Qi or Xishan Academy. Duke of Qi. I think it's okay. Now I'm going to enter the palace. They don't have a chance. Then eight out of ten are Xishan Academy, Duke of Qi... This Xishan Academy is the foundation of Duke of Qi, and you must not make any mistakes."

Fang Jifan said in surprise: "Is that true?"

In fact, Fang Jifan also vaguely felt that something was wrong. This was both a premonition and a sense that things would not be so simple.

But now, since Li Dongyang is very confident, Li Gongli has always been good at planning. Although he is standing on the shoulders of a giant, he stands higher than him and sees farther than him, he is still very simple in this matter, as pure as a piece of white paper, purely at the level of kindergarten.

Fang Jifan said: "It seems that Xishan is in trouble, come on... Nephew Li Xian, can you help me with a little favor?"

Li Zhaofan's face was stiff. Why did this guy communicate so hard? He always wanted to take advantage of himself. After all, he was over 40 years old.

But he nodded in a strange way: "I'll ask the Qi State for a public service, but if you have the will, you will definitely go through fire and water."

Fang Jifan sighed, "What a good person. I didn't expect that you would help me at such a critical moment. Originally, I should have returned to the West Mountain to share the hardships with all the students, but you also know that my aunt has come recently... No, I have been in a brain disease recently, and my brain hurts so it would be useless to keep me in the West Mountain. Instead, I was worried about it. What's more, today, Your Majesty summoned all the ministers into the palace. This is a big deal. Our family was unable to do it, so we had to entrust this matter to you. I asked ten or eight to protect you, and you should do it according to my method."

Li Zhaofan cheered up.

But... he had a doubt in his heart.

Who is Dayi's mother?

…………

Emperor Hongzhi received an injection last night and slept all night, and the more relieved the cough.

My body is recovering at an extremely fast speed.

This gave Emperor Hongzhi more confidence in the recovery of tuberculosis.

He got up early and took some medicine as usual. Today was a big day, but he seemed very calm. After breakfast, he sat down. It was still early and the officials had not arrived. Emperor Hongzhi sat in Fengtian Hall.

Countless memorials were piled up high on the desk.

These days, he has been resting and has not reviewed the memorials. There are only extremely important things. Xiao Jing will read them to himself. What happened? The cabinet's votes are proposed. Whether the Silijian is sure to be approved.

Emperor Hongzhi only corrected some details.

Xiao Jing gave Emperor Hongzhi a cup of tea and looked at His Majesty deeply: "Your Majesty, yesterday, the six ministries in Nanjing sent a lot of memorials."

Emperor Hongzhi had a calm face, and did not comment or speak out.

Xiao Jing continued: "The cabinet sent to him yesterday was a crime for Fang Jifan."

Emperor Hongzhi understates: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink!"

"Yes." Xiao Jing glanced at Emperor Hongzhi: "The six ministries of Nanjing have always been useless, but they also represent the wind direction of Jiangnan. Now some people criticize Fang Jifan. I think... Some people secretly want to show their strength. Taking this opportunity to put pressure on His Majesty at this critical moment, as the capital for bargaining!"

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "I open up the road to speech and allow you to speak freely. Even if it is a rebellious statement, I have repeatedly indulged it. I thought... it would prevent me from being partial and persuasive, but now it seems... it has become a means of personal gain by some people, and it is really disappointing to attack the differences."

Xiao Jing thought for a while: "After a while, the kings, the six ministers of the cabinet, as well as the crown prince and the duke of Qi, will come to the palace to meet. I... I... I..."

“But it’s okay.”

"Yes." Xiao Jing paused, and His Majesty came back to life, which made Xiao Jing very pleased. It was great to see His Majesty jump around.

He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have selected elite soldiers in the Warriors Camp, and set up an ambush in the side hall near Fengtian Hall, and ambush three hundred swords and axes. Only by listening to your Majesty's order...Your Majesty..."

Xiao Jing knew better than anyone that something big would happen today.

It depends on who wants the head to land.

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

Then, he looked at Xiao Jing strangely: "What book have you read recently?"

"Ah..." Xiao Jing was stunned and looked at Emperor Hongzhi in admiration: "Your Majesty actually knows that I have been reading idle books recently? Your Majesty is really wise. Yes, I am indeed reading books recently. This book is quite meaningful, and it is called Fang Jifanzhi Three Kingdoms."

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Xiao Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi strangely.

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "You, you don't understand after all."

Xiao Jing hurriedly bowed: "I will die."

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned a little gentle: "Get up, this is not a crime. I just want to tell you that the so-called learning of power and strategy in ancient times was all small tricks. Just like some restless sect kings, they thought they were smart and had all the mechanisms, but they didn't know that the more clever the technique of power and strategy, the more flaws they involved, the more links they involved, and the fatal weaknesses were exposed to others. Therefore... Those who have always abused power and strategy, without exception, were all harmed by power and strategy. The emperor was the king and father, and the father of the world. They should walk the great way. Inside and outside the hall, there were guards and great men.

What do generals need a knife and axe driver to do when he is on duty? Just wait for this to throw a cup? I want to cure evil and punish traitors. It is not a knife and axe driver, but a person's heart. If you treat the people well, the people will be dependent on the hearts of the people. If the world is peaceful, then the people will be determined. This is me, the foundation of the prince. With those ridiculous so-called power schemes, it is not worth mentioning. Therefore, since ancient times, the sage kings and benevolent monarchs must be upright and upright. They should revive the long-term strategy and control the world, take the supreme and regain the world, and benefit all the world. Isn't it ridiculous to focus on such small tricks? Isn't it ridiculous to put all the sword and axe drivers away."

Emperor Hongzhi looked down on these so-called conspiracies.

Throughout history, anyone who manipulates these tricks has never had a good ending.

"Yes..." Xiao Jing was speechless: "I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi's face calmed down and he smiled and said, "Here... set up a screen to meet the princes and the ministers."

…………

Outside the Meridian Gate.

All officials have already taken their place.

Many people realized that His Majesty's summons this time may be the last time His Majesty met his ministers.

There were many people with red eyes and sad faces.

Liu Jian's eyes were red. He looked at the towering palace walls and felt extremely sad. The decades of love between the king and the ministers have come to this day, perhaps... it is time to end the painting.

King Xing Zhu Youze and others also arrived before the palace gate.

Although Zhu You and several other brothers born to Emperor Chenghua were half-brothers of Your Majesty, they still broke the bones and tendons. They had other opinions about His Majesty's affairs, but now that the emperor's brother is about to make a big move, Zhu Youyou couldn't help but show pain.
