Chapter 264

Chapter 264: Heart to heart (please ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket!)

"It's you!"

"Your Highness!"

As soon as King Yan came in, Zhang Yu, the commander of the guards of Prince Yan's palace who was pretending to be King Yan, bowed and stepped aside.

When Xia Xun and King Yan met each other, they couldn't help shouting together.

King Yan did not expect that the person he had been waiting for all night was Xia Xun. Xia Xun also did not expect that the guard commander wearing half-body armor turned out to be King Yan. As a prince, he actually went into battle himself!

King Yan glanced at the blow darts and the exquisitely made box crossbow that Xia Xun put on the table. The blue and faint arrows were obviously poisoned. King Yan waved his hand, and all the guards and the person pretending to be him immediately followed.

He withdrew without leaving a single guard behind, nor took away the hidden weapon on the table. Seeing this scene, Xia Xun said sincerely: "Your Highness's courage is really admirable, and he is not afraid that I am deliberately showing sincerity and following suit."

Did Jing Ke assassinate the King of Qin?"

Zhu Di smiled slightly and said: "I am not the King of Qin, and you will not be Jing Ke's. Did you write this note?"

Zhu Di unfolded his left hand, and in his hand was a piece of paper with a line of small words on it: "There is an assassination attempt tonight. Please do not hurt the assassin. If you have anything to do, please report to His Highness!"

Xia Xun nodded and said, "Yes!"

Zhu Di frowned and said, "The handwriting is ugly."

Xia Xun smiled dryly and said: "Well..., ahem, I am worried that the note will fall into the hands of others, so I will compare the handwriting with you."

Zhu Di smiled and asked, "What tricks are you playing?"

Xia Xun asked, "Does Your Highness think this is what I am doing?"

Zhu Di's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "The emperor's order?"

Xia Xun replied: "I don't know, I only take orders from my superior."

Zhu Di's eyes narrowed: "Jinyiwei!" He looked directly at Xia Xun and asked: "Then? Why do you want to warn me?"

Xia Xun's chest puffed up slightly, and he said loudly: "Because I am unfair to His Highness!"

Zhu Di said: "Why is it unfair?"

Xia Xun said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is guarding the border for the country, and everyone in Mobei Xiaoxiao is afraid. The merit lies in the country, the benefit lies in the people, and the power lies in the enemy. If His Highness had not died on the battlefield of sweeping the northern border and guarding the border, but was assassinated in the court,

Wouldn’t it cause pain to enemies and pleasure to relatives?”

Zhu Di smiled sadly and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Military exploits? Haha, it is precisely because this king has military exploits that the emperor is worried that one day I will covet his position as emperor, so he will do everything possible to put me to death.

Don’t you…not agree with this?”

Xia Xun's voice also became lower: "I only know that it is right to be on guard against others, but it is absolutely impossible to assume conviction. I don't know whether His Highness will rebel, and I don't know even if His Highness does not

On the contrary, whether His Highness's descendants will rebel a hundred years from now, I only know that if based on this assumption, His Highness can be killed with confidence, then there will be no one in the world who cannot be killed.

If the eunuchs are likely to bring trouble to the court, kill them! If the ministers are likely to control the court, kill them! If the relatives are likely to monopolize power and bully the superiors, kill them! If the princes are likely to regicide and usurp the throne, kill them! People, if

In a year of disaster and famine, if there is a possibility of rebellion and taking over the world, kill him. Based on this, who should not be killed? Those in high positions do not think about self-reliance and self-improvement, nor do they think about perfecting the system, but want to kill to stop disaster. If their hands hurt, cut off their hands.

Is it possible to behead your head if you have a headache?"

Zhu Di said in a low voice: "Yang Xu, do you know that your remarks are extremely treasonous?"

Xia Xun said: "I am a scholar. Mencius said: If the king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his belly and heart; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will

Treating you as a enemy! Your Highness, do you think Yasheng Ren is right?"

Zhu Di was silent for a long time, and then Fang said with emotion: "What your Majesty is using is inhumane. Fang Huang and his ilk think they are virtuous, loyal, and talented, but they blindly stick to the past and govern the country. They only know how to go back to the past, go back to the past, and go back to the past; desire

If they want long-term peace and stability, they will just copy Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty's plan to cut down the vassals. If they can think like you and guide your majesty to the true way of being a king, with a universal mind and tolerance for the world, then why are the vassal kings from all over the world worried, and why worry about the world not being able to live in peace and harmony!

"

Xia Xun said: "Fang Huang and his ilk are not interested in profits, wealth, and sex, so they think they are upright and bright. But in my opinion, it is not the case. They are not interested in money, silk, and women, but they are good in sex."

In order to achieve one's own reputation, he talks about state affairs and alienates the royal relatives, so that His Highness will have today's worries. In my opinion, those who are lustful, profit-seeking and fame-loving are all motivated by their own selfish desires. Those who are fond of fame despise those who are lustful and profit-loving.

, it’s just a matter of fifty steps and a hundred steps."

Zhu Di's eyes lit up and he praised: "Those who are lustful, good at profit and fame are all motivated by their own selfish desires. Well said, this sentence hits the nail on the head. I don't know how many so-called integrity celebrities in ancient and modern times have been exposed. It's so happy! So happy!"

Xia Xun thought: "That's natural. This is the most famous thinker, philosopher and military strategist in the Ming Dynasty. He is the master of Lu Wang's mind science. He is an all-round great scholar who integrates Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and military strategism. He is awarded the title of "Xian"

What Mr. Wang Yangming, the master of "Confucianism" said.

Zhu Di gratefully said to Xia Xun: "In the past, if it weren't for Wenxuan, my family would have been bombed to the west in a daze. If it hadn't been for Wenxuan today, I would have been killed by Xiaoxiao again. Twice.

Saving lives is a huge kindness, but I am in such a difficult situation, with life and death so uncertain... I really don’t know... how to repay you!"

Xia Xun said: "What I did today was just a feeling of injustice in my heart. If I wanted to repay you, I would not approach Your Highness."

Zhu Di nodded and said: "What I'm saying is that there is no need to say thank you for a great favor. Such kindness is indeed something you don't need to talk about. I will keep your kindness to this king in my heart and will never dare or forget it for the rest of my life."

!”

Xia Xun repeatedly said that he did not dare. Zhu Di pondered for a moment, his face was cloudy and uncertain for a while, and he seemed to raise his eyes, staring at Xia Xun and said: "Cheng Wenxuan's warning today is a great favor. However... I still have one more thing.

I want to entrust the matter to Wenxuan shamelessly, but I wonder if Wenxuan is willing to help me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a big stone fell completely in Xia Xun's heart. As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Di regarded himself as one of his own whom he absolutely trusted. Zhu Di was a person who was happy with grudges and had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. He was very kind to his enemies.

He is cruel enough, but he is also really mean to his own people. Now that he has become his confidant, he can rest easy in this life unless he commits an unforgivable sin.

Xia Xun immediately held up his hands and said, "Your Highness, just ask!"

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, His Majesty said that on the anniversary of Emperor Kao Xiaoxiang's death, he would call all the princes to the capital to worship and sweep the imperial mausoleum together. I wanted to show my loyalty to the court, so I agreed. Now that the court is at night

Sending assassins to kill me is obviously due to the public will. The emperor clearly has to let me go back, but he really refuses to let me go. Since I am not dead today, I can return to Peiping safely. The only thing I worry about is

Those are my three sons. They will come to the capital soon. Wenxuan is working in the capital, and he is a guard in uniform. Can he take care of them on my behalf?"

Xia Xun thought to himself: "Tonight's assassination has finally pissed him off. In the heart of King Yan, rebellion has begun!"

If not, why would it matter if King Yan left his three sons in the capital to pay homage to the imperial mausoleum? Why should he entrust Xia Xun to take care of him? If he still had no objection, when the emperor wanted to deal with him, it would be more convenient for him to have his three sons by his side.

It's dangerous. God knows if the court will find an excuse to kill them both, father and son. If they stay in Jinling, the emperor will have no excuse to take action.

With these words, Zhu Di's rebellious intentions were clearly revealed!

Xia Xun immediately responded: "Your Highness, don't worry, I am willing to serve your Highness to the death."

"Okay..., okay!"

Zhu Di was happy and grateful at the same time. He remembered that he had just said that he would never say thank you for a great favor. In the end, he did not say a single word of thanks. He just cupped his fists with both hands and gave a solemn salute to Xia Xun. In his time of crisis, and it was

In a situation where the power comparison with the imperial court was completely unequal, Xia Xun was able to show his loyalty by providing help in times of need. In Zhu Di's heart, Yang Xu, who saved his life twice, could already be with the man who had followed him for many years and shared life and death with him on the bloody battlefield.

My favorite generals Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng are on an equal footing.

When he saw King Yan saluting, Xia Xun hurriedly returned the salute. When he straightened up again, he felt that the noise outside the palace was getting louder and louder. Xia Xun glanced outside and saw that the window lattice was bright red and the strong firelight came through.

Through the window paper, the hall was completely illuminated. The originally very bright candlelight in the hall, which was as thin as a child's arm, seemed bleak compared to that light. There was even a feeling like a billowing heat wave in front of the person.

Xia Xun couldn't help but said in surprise: "Why is the fire so big?"

Zhu Di glanced outside and said calmly: "You are so angry that you are too petty, so I will add some more firewood to you!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The fire in Prince Yan's Mansion burned down the entire palace. Along with the neighbors, many princes, princes and ministers also suffered disaster. The most miserable one was Huang Zhen and Huang Yushi. Huang Yushi had just been next to Prince Yan's Mansion.

I bought a house. Although it was not comparable to the palace, it had three halls with seven bays, one main entrance with three bays, a court in front of the yard, and trees in the back. It was quite unique, but it became a hit... and it was gone.

As the emperor and the courtiers, Zhu Yunwen changed the officials of the imperial court. He changed everything up and down. The original imperial envoy Wu Youdao was removed. Yuan Tai, who had been idle for committing crimes during the Hongwu period, was re-appointed. Yuan Tai lost power.

At that time, Wu Youdao's group did not treat him with any courtesy. He had been sitting on the bench for a long time. Now that he finally came back, he was not polite and kicked all Wu Youdao's cronies down.

Yuan Tai re-promoted people close to him. Huang Yushi had made great contributions to the arrest of the White Lotus cult bandits in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province. He had received excellent grades in the exams that year and had been on the bench all his life. He could never be Wu Youdao's person. Therefore,

He was also promoted by Yuan Tai and appointed as the supervisory envoy of Hubei Province. Huang Zhen felt that he was shaking this time. He hurriedly spent his life savings to buy this house and only moved in three days ago...

Early in the morning, someone saw Huang Yushang standing on the street wiping tears while wearing a small coat with holes all over it, exposing his buttocks.

In the early morning, several officials, wearing official robes with holes all over them, ran into the palace with soot on their faces. Today, the imperial envoy Zeng Fengshao, who was on duty to inspect the conduct of all officials, Master Zeng, angrily rushed to stop him. He had not yet spoken.

, those officials cried first, a fire broke out in the middle of the night, and all their belongings were burned down, I feel so sad! It was so early in the morning, I don’t know how much of the property was saved, and whether the whole house was safe. I saw the early dynasty,

So I went to court in a hurry. Is it easy for me? You are still observing the moral code, have you grown up with human intestines?

Zeng Yushi was spat on by several officials. He watched them go in in a daze. When he turned around, he saw another person coming angrily. This one was even more angry. He was like the Stove Lord.

It seemed that the only two eyes left were white. After Zeng Yushi carefully identified them for a long time, he couldn't help being startled: "His Royal Highness, King Yan?!"
