"Stop talking nonsense!" After hearing Wei Wuque's explanation, Eunuch Zou finally came to his senses, stamped his feet and shouted, "Hurry up and chase after me!"
"I can't catch up..." Wei Wuque advised them not to waste their efforts.
"Why?!" Eunuch Zou looked at Wei Wuque in confusion. At this moment, he no longer dared to look down upon the appearance of His Highness King Zhao. After all, the other party could completely crush him in terms of intelligence and understanding of Wang Xian.
"Why?" Wei Wuque stretched out his hand to wipe his rain-covered cheeks, and felt a bone-chilling coldness as he said, "Because that's Wang Xian...".
‘Sneeze!’ As soon as he crawled out of the tunnel, Wang Xian sneezed loudly. He didn’t know whether he was stimulated by the earthy smell or because of someone’s resentment.
"Sir, are you okay?" Wu Wei, who had not seen him for a long time, quickly grabbed Wang Xian to prevent him from being shaken back into the tunnel by his own sneezing.
"It's okay." Wang Xian waved his hand, patted Wu Wei's shoulder hard, and said with a happy smile: "Finally we see the light of day again!"
Wu Wei also smiled. When he saw Wang Xian pulling Gu Xiaolian out of the hole, he asked about the latter's condition with his eyes. Wang Xian shook his head gently, indicating that he did not need to talk to Gu Xiaolian. Wu Wei nodded and said seriously: "
They will chase us at any time, let’s move quickly.”
"It's up to you." Wang Xian nodded, then took Gu Xiaolian and left the tunnel exit under the protection of Wu Wei, Zhou Gan and others, only to see that he was next to Jishui Pond.
"Sir, please get on board." Wu Wei led Wang Xian to a grain ship. Jishuitan is the end point of the grain transportation to the north, and there are no more grain ships.
Wang Xian boarded the grain ship, and the ship quietly pulled its anchor and sailed to the center of Jishui Pond. In such a pouring rainy night, the ship seemed to have disappeared between heaven and earth.
Entering the cabin, the rain screen isolated the outside, and the dry and warm breath hit his face. In order to welcome Wang Xian, the people in the cabin specially lit a brazier. Wang Xian looked at Yan Qing, who was sitting by the brazier and smiling at him, and said
With Xian Yun standing next to Yan Qing, my heart felt much warmer.
He asked the maid to serve Gu Xiaolian and go to the cabin inside to change into wet clothes. Wang Xian took off his wet clothes in front of Yan Qing without any hesitation, revealing his strong and well-proportioned muscles.
Yan Qing smiled helplessly and poured a bowl of boiling ginger soup for Wang Xian. Wang Xian took it and sipped it while listening to Yan Qing's concise explanation of the latest situation. Although he could communicate with the outside world in the small courtyard without any hindrance.
, but after all, the limitations are not small, and the timeliness and comprehensiveness are quite insufficient. At this moment, we must make up for our homework.
When he heard Yan Qing say that Zhu Di actually woke up long ago, he just endured it until his grandson returned before he stopped pretending to be unconscious. Wang Xian also gasped in surprise and almost choked on Jiang Si: "Ahem, this
The old fox really has a way of tricking everyone!"
Wang Xian naturally understood that Yang Shiqi and others were able to steal the gold seal from under Zheng He's nose, and it was obviously Zhu Di who was secretly manipulating it. Even he was tricked by the old emperor and became a tool to help him get his grandson back to the capital.
.This made Wang Xian, who had sworn not to be used by anyone again, deeply unhappy.
"Then what? What did the emperor do again?" Wang Xian suppressed the boredom in his heart and continued to ask in a deep voice.
"The emperor summoned the grandson, and it seems that he issued a secret decree, but the specific content is unknown." Yan Qing said slowly: "I only know that after the grandson returned to Yingtai, Zheng He saw the warrior battalion secretly transferred into the palace and hid it.
Within the secret passage.”
"Oh?" Wang Xian finished drinking the ginger soup and felt much warmer. He wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and asked with a smile, "How long ago did this happen?"
"An hour ago." Yan Qing replied.
"It seems that your errands are done very well. You can know such secret things in time." Wang Xian said with a half-smile but not a smile.
"Firstly, there is someone in the palace who has taken refuge with us, and the information is relatively well-informed." Yan Qing could hear the doubt in Wang Xian's tone, and said seriously: "Secondly, my subordinates suspected that the emperor deliberately let people see this...
…”
"Oh?" Wang Xian held the bowl, white air lingering around him, making his expression more unpredictable: "Why does the emperor want to be seen?"
"Shock." Yan Qing said in a deep voice: "In my humble opinion, the emperor is trying to shock everyone, so that all parties know that he has woken up, and as before, everything is under control!"
"Then why would the people from Dongchang attack me tonight?" Wang Xian looked at Yan Qing and asked quietly.
"?, naturally the people in Dongchang also know that the emperor has woken up and ambushed the army. King Zhao must understand that if he doesn't take action, he will never have a chance." Yan Qing's eyes flickered, and then he returned to normal.
"You said that the emperor deliberately spread the news, in order to shock," Wang Xian said in a tone that was obviously sharp with a sword: "But how could it be to scare the snake? I think if King Zhao didn't know that the emperor had woken up,
There may not be any action tonight, but tomorrow the situation will be settled as soon as others enter the palace. Wouldn't it be better for the emperor?"
"This..." Yan Qing saw sweat on his forehead and whispered: "Maybe the emperor is old and confused."
"Maybe someone is causing trouble secretly!" Wang Xian sneered. Although the voice was not loud, the atmosphere in the cabin dropped to freezing point in the blink of an eye. Wu Wei, Dai Hua and others all became nervous and looked at Wang Xianhe breathlessly.
Yan Qing.
"Nothing can be hidden from my lord." Under Wang Xian's cold gaze, Yan Qing smiled calmly, looked at Wang Xian without fear and said: "I am disabled, so I cannot kneel down to apologize. Your Majesty expected that, King Zhao is right.
Bian was kept in the dark originally, and his subordinates asked people to reveal it to Huang Yan." After a pause, he said the truth: "The emperor intended to let people know that Zheng He secretly mobilized troops into the palace, but he did not intend to let people know.
Knowing that he has woken up. In this way, King Zhao will only think that Zheng He and Taisun are colluding together. Although he will be prepared, he will never act hastily tonight. When the news is announced in the morning tomorrow that the emperor has woken up, everyone will
Only then will people know that it was the emperor who sent the army into the palace, and they will all bow down in shock. At that time, if King Zhao has a hundred courage, he will not dare to cause trouble again!"
"Isn't this good?" Wang Xian said coldly: "Why do you need to reveal the news to King Zhao and let him take risks?"
"Because otherwise, the person who ascends the throne as the emperor must be His Highness the Taisun!" Yan Qing said with emotion: "I know that your Excellency and the Taisun have a close personal relationship, but I know even better that the Taisun must not surpass the Prince and become the emperor!"
"Why?" Wang Xian's expression changed and he continued to ask expressionlessly.
"Because ethics are in order! Because the country needs a prince! Because...when the grandson ascends the throne, you will definitely die!" Yan Qing said with a strong and upright face.
"How do you say it?" Although Wang Xian's tone remained indifferent, the ice in his eyes melted a lot.
"First of all, let's talk about the order of ethics. If the grandson ascends the throne, how will the prince behave? How will the officials who care for the prince behave? How will the fathers and sons in the world behave?" Yan Qing said in a deep voice: "The elders and the young should be in order.
, let alone father and son?! By passing the crown prince to the grandson, the emperor is disregarding moral principles and laying the foundation for great chaos in the world!"
Wang Xian snorted noncommittally and said, "How do you know that the emperor wants to pass the throne to his grandson?"
"The emperor's layout is clear at a glance!" Yan Qing said slowly: "As soon as the grandson entered the palace, the emperor woke up and sent the warrior battalion to the palace to accompany him. Obviously, something big will be announced soon!" After a pause, he said: "Your Majesty.
It’s already a candle in the wind. At this time, besides announcing the new king, what else can be done?”
"It's also possible that the new king is the prince, and the grandson is just temporarily supervising the country." Wang Xian said expressionlessly.
"Absolutely not!" Yan Qing categorically shook his head and said: "If the emperor wants to pass the throne to the prince, he will wait until the prince returns to Beijing before waking up! And after His Highness Taisun returned to Yingtai, no news was conveyed! If
The crown prince is the one who ascends the throne, so he will definitely contact me as soon as possible!"
"..." Wang Xian was speechless.
"Sir, this subordinate is not motivated by his own selfish interests," Yan Qingrong said solemnly: "After Emperor Yongle's squandering and overdraft for twenty years, the world has now reached a point where the oil is running out and the people are in danger. It is urgent to change the course and abolish the tyranny.
, rest with the people, if you want to completely achieve this, you must have His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Why not, Your Majesty the Grand Sun?" Wang Xian put down the soup bowl and patted the back of his right hand with his left hand, his eyes so cold that it penetrated people.
"Although Taisun is the leader of the Yingchao, my subordinates have observed for many years and found that his appearance is not the same as today's, but his temperament is quite weak and his responsibilities are not enough!" Yan Qing answered in a deep voice without fear of Wang Xian's gaze.
Said: "What's more important is that if he becomes the emperor and the emperor forcibly pushes him to the throne over the prince, there will definitely be a lot of criticism. In order to suppress dissent and emphasize the legitimacy of his accession to the throne, for a long period of time,
He will definitely follow the example of the words and deeds of the emperor, and every word and action will follow the track of the emperor, and he will never go beyond it!"
"Sir, the world has reached a critical moment of life and death, and we cannot delay for a moment! If the grandson is allowed to ascend the throne, it will definitely be Zhu Di's route without Zhu Di! Then the Ming Dynasty will be in danger, and the people will be in danger!" Yan Qing said
Gritting his teeth, he slid from the wheelchair to the floor, and kneeled in front of Wang Xian with his arms supported: "Sir, we can't know this and still be indifferent!"
Seeing Yan Qing dragging his two residual legs and kneeling in front of him, Wang Xian sighed and waved his hands. Only then did Wu Wei and Dai Hua dare to help him up and sit in the wheelchair again. Then everyone watched quietly.
Watch Wang Xian and wait for him to make the final decision.
"What are you looking at me for?" Wang Xian glared at them angrily and said in a low voice, "You have already done your best, do I have any other choice?"
"Hehe..." Wu Wei and others scratched their heads and laughed, Dai Hua said with a smile: "Doesn't this also give you a chance to take revenge with your own hands?"
"Do I still have to thank you?" Wang Xian snorted, looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Are you all ready?"
"Ready." Wu Wei became serious when he heard this, and replied in a deep voice: "The waterway to Yingtai has been opened, and the army can be sent in at any time." At this point, he hesitated and said: "It's just that our army is here
