During the emperor's visit to the palace, Zhu Youde read "Huang Ji Sheng Gong" and gained some new insights.
Then he called Wang Zhonghou.
"Wang Banban, come and compete with me to see if I have made any progress..."
After saying this, Wang Zhonghou pushed him with his palm without waiting for his reaction.
The two of them moved together, and within a few breaths Zhu Youde gasped and stopped.
He looked at Wang Zhonghou with a strange face. This guy was born with supernatural powers and was so talented in martial arts. Why did he want to be a eunuch in the palace?
"Your Majesty, this practice is not achieved overnight, but requires accumulation and mastering some skills..."
Wang Zhonghou approached Zhu Youde and talked about some cultivation techniques.
After Wang Zhonghou left, Zhu Youde opened the secret book again, and he really gained a new understanding.
Half an hour later, Zhu Youde opened his eyes. There was a layer of black mud on the surface of his skin, which was sticky and uncomfortable.
But my body was extremely hot and it felt like I could fight for ten days and ten nights.
"Your Majesty, take a bath." Luo Xian had already prepared warm water to help Zhu Youde clean up the dirt.
"My beloved concubine, let's come together."
As he said this, he waved his hand and hugged Luo Xian. How could he miss this perfect opportunity?
Luo Xian frowned, pursed her red lips and started acting coquettishly: "Your Majesty, please spare me... let's do it some other time..."
As he spoke, tears were about to flow from his beautiful eyes.
Zhu Youde couldn't bear it. The queen was led astray by Zhou Ruqian and she learned to act like a spoiled child.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go find Sister Yunyue? There are two of them, but I am the same concubine..."
"Haha..." Zhu Youde came out of the bathtub, hugged Luo Xian and kissed her: "You are really my dear concubine!"
Listening to the Flower Palace, Zhu Youde had just taken off his coat when he heard Wang Zhonghou's angry voice.
In an instant, Zhu Youde was furious.
What is this dead eunuch going to do?
Don’t you know that I want to take off happily?
Wang Zhonghou looked at Zhu Youde with an innocent face, and said in an innocent manner: "Your Majesty, this old slave is really in a hurry... After all, after you entered this house, it will be the next morning when you come out."
"I'm afraid I'll miss something big..."
After saying this, Zhu Youde waved his hand and took the folded book. Immediately, anger piled on his face.
Xichang Banzi came to report that Jiao Linghui came out of Prince Yan's mansion in the middle of the night.
"What a poacher." Zhu Youde threw away the note and sneered: "If you defect to King Yan, then let him go."
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing." Wang Zhonghou continued: "Master Tianfo from the Western Regions will enter the border of Daliang soon."
Zhu Youde, who was in a hurry, didn't want to hear more from Wang Zhonghou and waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
He turned around and rushed into the inner room, leaving Wang Zhonghou with a puzzled look on his face.
Is that kind of thing really that happy?
A night without words, a night of happiness.
Liu Xiyun and Liu Xiyue finally figured out the next morning why the queen sister wanted the two of them to get closer to His Majesty.
Even though the two of them tried their best, they were still too tired to get up...
"Have a good rest, I'm going to court."
Zhu Youde looked at the two sisters with a smile and dotingly, and went to Fengtian Hall leisurely with dark circles under his eyes.
…
"If you have something to report, go to court and if nothing happens, leave the court."
When Wang Zhonghou saw Zhu Youde with dark circles under his eyes, he cursed again in his heart. Is he really that happy?
"Your Majesty, Zhao Shangshu's funeral ceremony is ready. It can be held tomorrow." He Qingfeng announced.
Zhu Youde yawned, waved his hand, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, dear sir. Tomorrow I and the queen will personally send the minister off for his final journey."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Heng: "Tomorrow you will lead the imperial army and guard both sides of the imperial road. From the imperial city to the garden, you must give Master Zhao the highest courtesy."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhou Heng accepted the order.
Then Zhu Youde looked at Jiao Linghui, the murderous intent in his eyes flashed away, and asked: "Your Excellency, Master Tianfo of the Western Regions is coming to Daliang. You should rush to the border immediately to entertain him."
As soon as these words came out, Jiao Linghui was a little stunned. He glanced at King Yan inadvertently and accepted the order.
"Retreat from the court." Zhu Youde yawned and was about to go back to catch up on his sleep, but was stopped by Wang Zhonghou.
He whispered: "Your Majesty, General Wang is still waiting for your order."
"Oh, there's no need to go, General Wang. We just returned to the court, so just have a good rest at home."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Po was stunned.
What's going on? You're not going on your own?
Zhou Heng led the imperial army to guard the official road. If he didn't go to the garden, who would lead the army to protect him if he didn't go himself?
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate." Feng Bogong stood up to dissuade him.
Someone took the lead, and many ministers also tried to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, please think again."
Zhu Youde frowned and shouted: "I just went to see off Zhao Shangshu, not to fight. There is no danger. I will retreat from the court."
King Yan looked at Zhu Youde's leaving figure with a fierce look in his eyes...
In the inner palace, Zhu Youde was sitting on the dragon chair, yawning and drinking tea. After a while, Wang Zhonghou led Wang Po over.
"Your Majesty..." Wang Po was about to say something, but was stopped by Zhu Youde.
"Tomorrow you will lead an elite force and disguise yourself among the people around the garden."
After a pause, he continued: "Some people will not miss such a good opportunity."
After hearing this, Wang Po understood what was going on and breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought that the little emperor had become willful again, but it turned out that he was superficial.
"I will definitely protect your majesty's safety." After Wang Po finished speaking, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhu Youde.
"General Wang, please stay for dinner. I found a few bottles of fine wine and want to share them with the general."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch came to report.
"Your Majesty, Princess Anping wishes to see you."
"Oh? Imperial sister?" Zhu Youde was a little surprised. His imperial sister had never come to him on weekdays, so why was she here today?
Zhu Qian was dressed in a white robe, with a graceful figure and a touch of makeup. The king was fascinated when he saw her.
Zhu Youde saw this scene, smiled in his heart, and then asked: "Is there anything you can ask for, my dear sister?"
"Your Majesty, in a few days it will be my biological mother's memorial day. I want to go out of the palace to worship..."
Zhu Youde suddenly remembered that every year Zhu Qian would go out of the palace to worship her biological mother.
After thinking for a moment, his eyes fell on Wang Po.
"If I remember correctly, my concubine and General Wang are from the same hometown. Why don't you let General Wang accompany you? Also give General Wang a few days off to rest."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Po was stunned. When he saw Zhu Youde blinking at him, he became even more confused.
"Thank you, general, little lady." Zhu Qian smiled and saluted Wang Po.
………………
Jinling City.
Northern suburbs.
A dilapidated house, dozens of dead men in black are entrenched here.
If Zhu Youde were here, he would definitely recognize the leading man as Di Yun.
"What's our plan?"
"Kill the foolish king."
Di Yun glanced around and asked again: "The emperor is here, the people of Liang are in dire straits, and we are destined to overthrow this troubled world."
"Tomorrow, we must send Hunjun back to the west in one fell swoop."
