After anger comes surprise, and after surprise comes guilt.
The reason for such a change of mood was because Zhou Wang Zhu Ji understood two sentences.
First, those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come.
The second is, it’s not that I won’t retaliate, it’s that the time has not yet come.
Zhu Ju sat blankly on the chair, his mind running rapidly. What was the reason for Li Jinglong's big move?
There are only two people in the world who dare to treat him like this, one is the old man and the other is the young emperor. If it were the old man, it would probably be a big thunder and a small rain. No matter what his own father was, it would be nothing more than a scolding and a shoe mat, and he would not eat the poison of a tiger.
son.
But if you are a little emperor...if you are a little emperor, you need to understand what happened, so that you can be excused.
"Calm down! At this time, you need to be calmer!"
Zhou Wang Zhu Ju secretly thought to himself and looked up at the guard who was delivering the message, "Did Li Jinglong come by himself?"
"Yes, Duke Cao Guo is standing outside asking to see Qiantose!"
Zhu Tong pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "Let him in!" Then he whispered to his son Zhu Youdou, "If it is true that the emperor sent someone to get me, you go to your fourth uncle and six uncles, and then go to the old man to plead for mercy.
!”
"How could your Majesty? You are an uncle..." Zhu Youdou only said half of the sentence, and kept the other half in his heart, "If there is really something wrong, it's useless to call anyone!"
~~
Li Jinglong strode over alone without any weapons.
"The mausoleum is well built, but I wonder if you will have the chance to live in it in your lifetime?"
His eyes fell on the buildings that were being diligently constructed, and a fleeting sneer flashed across his lips.
Standing outside the side hall where King Zhou Zhu was resting, Li Jinglong shouted, "Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, has seen King Zhou live a thousand years!"
"Come in!" came the calm voice of Zhou Wang Zhu Ju from inside.
Then, Li Jinglong strode in under the guidance of the guards.
Zhou Wang Zhu Ju was sitting upright on the Grand Master's chair, with more than twenty murderous guards lined up behind him.
Li Jinglong saluted again and said, "Thousand years old!" Then he stood up and looked straight at Zhou Wang Zhu Ju.
The latter's eyes narrowed and he stared straight at Li Jinglong.
Neither of them spoke first, and their gazes were extremely cold. Gradually, Li Jinglong's gaze turned into a smile, a kind of malicious and slightly mocking smile.
Then, Zhou Wang Zhu Ji couldn't help it anymore, "Cao Guogong, bring troops here? What does this mean?"
Li Jinglong smiled again, rubbing the huge ruby saddle ring on the little finger of his left hand with his right hand and turning it gently.
"Who gave you the courage?" Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu shouted angrily, and the palace was filled with echoes.
But Li Jinglong still smiled, and then said slowly, "Chitose, something happened to you!"
"Huh?" Zhou Wang Zhu Ju paused, and his momentum suddenly dropped.
"Your incident has happened!" Li Jinglong repeated.
He learned this unintentionally from He Guangyi. This is how the Jinyiwei interrogates criminals. Now make the other party panic and let him think for himself. The more the prisoner thinks, the more flustered he becomes.
"I don't understand!" Zhou Wang Zhu Ju said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, I am a minister, and I don't want to say it clearly clearly!" Li Jinglong smiled gently, "You know better than me what you did, and what's more, I will tell you what you did."
No, I don’t have the guts to say it in front of so many people. You should think about how to write an apology letter!"
"Are you scaring me?" Zhou Wang Zhu Ju patted the chair.
"Do you think it looks like it?" Li Jinglong stopped smiling.
King Zhu Zhu of Zhou had too many ghosts in his heart, and it would be a serious sin to slip out any one of them. So at this moment, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, so he could only pretend to be calm.
In fact, this kind of calmness is useless and can only deceive himself.
"Are you here to capture me?" Zhou Wang Zhu Ju said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious!" Li Jinglong smiled, "I am sending you to Fengyang by order!"
King Zhou Zhu's heart skipped a beat and he almost couldn't sit still. He suppressed the panic in his heart and asked, "Whose order are you following?"
"Are you confused? Who else can I obey?" Li Jinglong raised his hands to the sky, "Of course it belongs to Lord Long Live!"
"What's the decree?" Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu stood up fiercely and said loudly, "Why do you want to take me, Long Live Lord? I am the uncle of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and I have been a vassal to treat the court with respect and loyalty...
."
"Your Highness, you can see for yourself!" Li Jinglong gently interrupted the other party's words, took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to the guard to deliver to King Zhou Zhu.
The latter hurriedly opened it, and his hands trembled violently. There were only a few lines of words on the imperial edict printed with the emperor's jade seal, "King Zhu Ju of Zhou has evil intentions and is sending it to Fengyang for custody..."
Suddenly, King Zhou's eyesight went dark, and he couldn't read the words behind it at all.
"This is a disorderly fate. I am the uncle and the prince of the vassal vassal whom the Supreme Emperor personally conferred. If you want to arrest me, you have to give me an excuse that can convince the people of the world. Otherwise, how can I convince the world? I want to see the Supreme Emperor. I want to...
...Other vassal kings comment on the matter!" King Zhu Zhu of Zhou shouted angrily.
"I thought highly of him before! If what happened today were the old man's bad-tempered sons, they would probably just draw the knife, but this one can only yell nonsense!"
Li Jinglong laughed secretly in his heart, while Zhou Wang Zhu Ju was still roaring alone.
"What are the charges against me? Where's the evidence? Otherwise, why would you stop everyone in the world from talking? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?"
"Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong spoke softly again, directly interrupting the other party, "There are some things that a lowly official and a minister cannot say, and neither can the emperor. It concerns the face of the Tian family, and the emperor cannot afford to embarrass that person!"
"As for what's going on, you must know it in your heart. Now that I'm here, I'm not afraid of you yelling or scolding me. I think it seems to me that instead of wasting all your efforts here, you might as well think about how to defend yourself!"
"Huhu!" King Zhu Zhu of Zhou gasped angrily, his eyes red, "There is a traitor in the court, and there are villains around the emperor. Is Li Jinglong one of you villains, trying to instigate the flesh-and-blood relationship between the emperor and me? I am going to go
See the Supreme Emperor, I will make it difficult for you to eat and carry..."
"Your Majesty..." Li Jinglong smiled bitterly and said, "Why bother? Meeting the Supreme Emperor is a matter for the future." After saying that, he paused and said, "Now, please follow me!"
"Who dares?" Zhu Youduan shouted.
In the warehouse, the guards of the King of Zhou unsheathed their swords and filled with murderous intent.
Li Jinglong didn't move at all, his face was full of disdain. He looked sideways at Prince Zhou and then at the guards, "Are you rebelling?"
Inside the hall, there was silence.
Li Jinglong suddenly shouted again, "Are you going to rebel?"
No one spoke, and Li Jinglong's shouts echoed like thunder in the hall.
"Tell me, do you want to rebel?" Li Jinglong shouted again, "Disobeying the imperial edict in the Ming Dynasty is tantamount to rebellion, and it is a major crime to punish the nine tribes!"
"Hmph, I have two thousand people outside. They can rush in in an instant, with strong bows and crossbows. How many of your swords can stop it? Not to mention that if I give the order, you will be cut into pieces. Now Kaifeng City
The doors are closed, and your family members and relatives are also in the city."
"The King of Zhou is guilty, and the fault lies with him alone. He is the prince's vassal and cannot be killed, but what about you? Don't forget, you are also the ministers of the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor!"
Among the guards, the tip of someone's knife slowly lowered.
Li Jinglong looked around for another week, "Don't make a small matter into a big deal, don't let it end uncontrollably! Don't let your master be doomed!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense!" King Zhu Zhu of Zhou roared angrily, "Give me...
