He originally had the idea of returning to Beijing. When he received the news from Beijing, he immediately took his guards on the road overnight without saying a word. He did everything that needed to be done and reminded everything that needed to be done in Jiangsu.
Leave the rest to Feng Wanli.
Even Catherine, he stayed in Jiangsu. The long journey here was not just a sightseeing tour. Catherine could return to the capital slowly without being with him.
Although it is not summer yet, in his impression, Emperor Tianqi passed away in summer, but the message was sent by Zhu Youjian himself, which means that the situation is already serious, even if Zhu Youxiao has not yet arrived.
Collapse, it is estimated that there is not much time left.
Zhu Youjian probably knew what Zhu Youxiao meant, and in the huge palace of the Ten Princes, the only one he could rely on, who could even safely protect him on the dragon chair, was Jiang Wan's Tingyulou.
Already.
A few days later, Jiang Wan appeared at the door of the Tenth Prince's Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he soon found that the atmosphere in the Tenth Prince's Mansion was abnormal. Except for the vicinity of the gate, there was no change. He could see familiar faces everywhere in the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
These people dressed as bodyguards and serving him were actually his people in Tingyulou.
"Master Steward!"
"Mr. Jiang!"
The young men saluted Jiang Wan solemnly, and Jiang Wan waved her hands and walked towards the depths of the palace, while her eyes wandered around, looking for the familiar figure she wanted to see.
"Professor Jiang!"
Before reaching the inner courtyard, someone came out from the inner courtyard to welcome him. Jiang Wan stood still and said, "Eunuch Wang!"
"Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Jiang Wan nodded towards him and hurriedly followed him in.
Zhu Youjian was sitting in front of the window thinking about something. Maybe he was not thinking about anything. He was just in a daze there quietly. However, judging from his frown, it was obvious that he had not been very happy recently.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Wan is here!"
Wang Chengen said something quietly behind Zhu Youjian, then quietly retreated out, standing far away from the door as usual.
Zhu Youjian didn't react. He just slowly looked back at Jiang Wan, and then flipped through a few pages on the book spread out on the table.
"It's been less than ten days since I called you back to when you were standing here. You came back very quickly!"
"If His Highness wants to use me, it must be an urgent and important matter. You can put other matters aside first!" Jiang Wan replied.
"I remember the year when my brother ascended the throne, I went to his study and he was writing something at that time!" Zhu Youjian looked at the book in front of him and said slowly: "I remember that at that time, brother Huang's
There seems to be such a book on the desk, but Brother Huang is not someone who loves reading..."
Jiang Wan stood silently, listening to what Zhu Youjian said. Zhu Youjian recalled the things between their brothers. He would not talk nonsense, but it was still okay to be a quiet listener.
"At that time, I didn't know what the emperor did. Anyway, after my brother became the emperor, it seemed that there was no change as usual and he pampered me just as much!"
Zhu Youjian raised his eyes and looked out the window, obviously immersed in his own memories.
"I was a little curious and asked my emperor brother if he could do it for me!" Zhu Youjian said: "Of course I knew it was wrong to be such a treacherous person, but the emperor brother didn't care at that time.
He felt that these words offended him, so he patted my head lovingly!"
"Then he said: OK, if you want to be the emperor, I will let you do it after I have been there for a few years!"
Jiang Wan was still speechless, and his expression didn't even change.
Zhu Youjian obviously didn't need any of his opinions, he just wanted to express what was in his heart.
"But who knew, who knew, this day would come so soon!" Zhu Youjian showed a sad look on his face: "Actually, I want to tell my brother, my brother, that I don't want to be the emperor, I just want to be
To be a capable prince, I can help my brother handle all the big and small things in the world properly, so that my brother can happily do the things he likes and no longer worry about other things!"
He sighed heavily: "Unfortunately, he just doesn't want to hear what I have to say now!"
"His Majesty is very clear about His Majesty's thoughts!" Jiang Wan suddenly said: "His Majesty is the most thoughtful person in the world. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty and the country would not have fallen on his shoulders!"
Zhu Youjian finally took a look at him and closed the book in front of him. At the same time, it seemed that all his thoughts and memories were included in the book.
"You have seen it when we came back. The internal guards were replaced by people from Tingyulou!" Zhu Youjian said: "Wang Chengen personally went to Tingyulou to select the people. Originally, these people were all innocent people.
Those selected to serve as internal guards have been carefully screened to ensure that all of them are loyal and reliable!"
"It is their honor to raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a short time to serve His Highness!"
"I called you back to let you lead these people. After all, they were trained by you. No matter who they are, their words are not as useful as yours!" Zhu Youjian said: "If it is because of dissatisfaction with each other, it is inevitable to give up.
People can take advantage of this opportunity!"
"Jiang Wan understands!"
"You know it's best!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand: "Go down and rest first. When you come back, I can have a good sleep. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well!"
Jiang Wan nodded and left. When he was leaving, he looked back at Zhu Youjian. He opened the book again and stared at the book. Obviously, there were some people and things that he still couldn't let go of.
.
"Manager Jiang!" Wang Chengen saw him coming out and walked a few steps with him, leaving the calligraphy. Then he lowered his face and said in a low voice: "The matter in Tingyu Tower was handled by the prince himself, not by our family.
I want to intervene in the affairs of your building, but things suddenly become critical, and the people around the prince need to be replaced by a group of reliable ones!"
"It doesn't matter, didn't the prince call me back to lead them?" Jiang Wan said she didn't care: "The prince seems to be in a bad mood. He talked a lot about your majesty. What the prince said is critical, which means something happened in the palace.
Something unexpected happened?"
"The sky is going to fall!" Wang Chengen glanced at the direction of the study and pointed to the top of his head: "Now not only our palace, but also the whole court is in panic. At this time, it is always right to be careful, right?"
"It's necessary!" Jiang Wan nodded fiercely: "It's not that you have to be careful, but that you have to be watertight and foolproof. Don't worry, the prince's safety is left to me. Prince, you can relax a little!"
"Then I'm relieved!" Wang Chengen nodded: "I have already asked someone to clean up your small courtyard for you. These days, you don't have to go anywhere. You are in the mansion, always waiting for the prince's call.
If we still need more manpower, we can just call in all the people from Zhouzhuang!"
Jiang Wan patted his shoulder gently: "I understand, I have everything!"
