This matter was proposed by Jiao Fang, so of course there would be no problem. Empress Dowager Zhang pondered for a moment and felt that the proposal was good, so she immediately asked the cabinet to handle it on her behalf.
What happened today was astonishing. After everything settled, it seemed as if nothing had happened. By the afternoon, the capital returned to normal.
The cabinet is still the cabinet, the new army is still the new army, and the palace is very calm. Even Liu Chengfeng returned to the Chu Palace and did not even go to meet the Queen Mother Zhang.
Everything went back to a few days ago, except that last time it was waiting for King Anlu to go to Beijing to regent, and this time it was Prince Deok. For some people, there is no difference.
In fact, most people don't know that there are still many differences here.
Yizhi arrived in Jinan overnight, and the imperial envoy he sent discovered a very strange phenomenon. Prince De's palace was naturally extremely cautious and not flattering to the arrival of the imperial envoy. King De, who was in his seventies, came out to greet him in person, but when the imperial envoy asked about the whereabouts of the prince,
, King De showed a troubled look.
"To tell the truth from the imperial envoy, the dog is sick."
The future regent was ill. This was a big deal. The imperial envoy who went there suddenly became nervous and said hurriedly: "I don't know what the illness is."
King De seemed ashamed of his words, and finally said: "Crazy."
How could such a good person go crazy? The imperial envoy was not a fool. He had done his homework before coming here and had a general understanding of the prince. Just a few months ago, the prince had written a memorial to celebrate the imperial court's victory.
Well, it’s only been a few days, so I’m going crazy no matter what.
The imperial envoy naturally didn't believe it and said to King De: "Your Highness, the court is in troubled times. The Queen Mother favors the crown prince and wants to invite him to the capital to manage the state affairs. This is no joke."
King De said: "You don't believe it, but you can discern clearly."
This argument doesn't matter, but if you really go on to argue, it's really shocking.
Zhu Yourong is indeed crazy, so crazy. For example, when the weather is approaching winter, this uncle actually doesn't lie down in bed at night, but goes directly to the roof with his bare buttocks. During the day, he is
Playing with mud in the garden actually doesn't matter. He peed after playing in the mud, and continued playing after peing in the mud.
The taste is too strong.
The imperial envoy could only be dumbfounded at this time, but this was too big a deal, and he did not dare to go back easily, so he had to continue to observe, but the more disgusting result was yet to come. During the meal, he suddenly jumped on the table, took out the dick and put it on the wine table.
After draining the water, he ate happily, and he didn't forget to scream, "I'm happy, I'm happy."
The old man, King De, just looked distressed. When the imperial envoy thought about it, he immediately understood the connection here.
He is not crazy, but he doesn't dare to enter the capital at all. When King Yan was in the capital, didn't he pretend to be crazy? Why? Just to save his life.
In terms of closeness to the royal family, King Anlu was obviously much closer than King De. What happened to King Anlu? Not only did he die, but his family was also harmed. Everyone in the world knew that Jin Yiwei went to Anlu to do something.
and so on, and the Dewang family is doing well in Jinan, although they are living a good life
It's not a day like a fairy, but at least it can be regarded as a lonely person, and life is still full of joy. If you go to Beijing at this time, you will either be a puppet for others, or you will end up like King Anlu. Not only
Zhu Yourong was unlucky, and hundreds of members of King De's family were also unlucky.
That's why Zhu Yourong had this scene. He couldn't resist the decree, and the only way was to make people sick. Anyone who wanted to be the regent could be deceived, and people from the Dewang family would not be deceived.
But even if the imperial envoy understands the thoughts of this disgusting father and son, there is nothing he can do. How can he kidnap him? What if Zhu Yourong is so determined that he goes to the palace to open his belt and let the water go? He is shameless anyway. , but the court still wants to face it after all.
To deal with such a shameless person, the imperial envoy can only run away.
As soon as the imperial envoy left.
Prince De's palace became quiet. The old Prince De was sitting in the hall sadly, gently stroking the white beard under his chin with his hand, with a helpless look in his eyes.
As for Zhu Yourong, who had been pretending to be crazy and stupid before, he let out a sigh of relief. Although he was in his fifties, his body was well maintained. Now he was back to normal, and he was actually a bit sanctimonious.
"Father, I wonder if the court will let my son go." Zhu Yourong showed a bit of fear. Before King Anlu came to the capital, Zhu Yourong was very envious of Zhu Youruan. In any case, we are all peers. , why do you come to be the regent while I continue to stay here as the heir apparent. But when the news from the capital came, he secretly said, this is not a regent, this is obviously a pig (Zhu) killing, whoever goes there will be unlucky. Even if one person dies, the whole family will suffer.
When the ears and eyes in the capital heard that the imperial court had selected him to take over Zhu Youruan's class, he didn't sleep well for several days. He was afraid. Who is not afraid of who is the grandson? Anyway, he is now the heir to the vassal king. There are many wives and concubines at home, and when food comes, he opens his mouth and puts out his hands. In this Jinan mansion, he is the local emperor, and everyone must be polite. Going to the capital? Only fools go there.
King De shook his head and said: "I don't think so. The imperial court also wants to be shameless. Even if it knows that you are pretending to be crazy, it probably won't happen. Anyway, anyone can be the regent, but we can't be allowed to be the regent. This is sending death, isn't it? Regent, Rong'er, don't slack off at these times. You must pretend as much as you should. Those factory guards lurking in Jinan will definitely keep an eye on you and my son. It's a troubled time right now, so naturally it's better to be more cautious."
"You want more?" Zhu Yourong looked like a bitter gourd.
King De smiled bitterly and said: "The clan and clan are said to be extremely precious, but do you know that there is no difference between us and prisoners? I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us. If we are not careful, it will be A disaster is imminent. But you don't have to worry, just show off. After all, we are just showing our feelings. The court has just killed a vassal king and is now in the midst of a storm. Presumably they will not deliberately embarrass us. They will just leave as soon as the imperial envoy leaves. It’s still not good for us to show our true colors after all, we have to give the imperial court a step forward.”
Zhu Yourong said: "My son knows. Father, what will happen to the court next?"
King De closed his eyes, showed a wry smile, and said: "What can we do? Who knows, it's going to rain and my mother is going to let people go. Whatever you love, let it be. No matter what it is, it's not something you and I can control." Yes, a gentleman will not build dangerous walls. I hope this country can still be saved. If it cannot be saved... then it is also the end of its luck."
Zhu Yourong was silent. He felt panicked after hearing his father's words. How come something went wrong when the Ming Dynasty arrived at his place so well? His father is quite good. He is already over seventy years old and has been a prince for decades. He enjoys all the blessings. After all, he was the unlucky one. After waiting eagerly for so many years, the court told him that something went wrong. Isn't this a trap?
Zhu Yourong hesitated for a moment and said: "There are always some wise men in the clan, and they will step forward at this time. Is it possible that there are tens of thousands of people with the same clan name in the Ming Dynasty, and none of them are worthy of the title?"
King De sneered in a worldly way: "That's it, if it is useful, it is no longer a clan. Look at those people, who is not a flying eagle and a dog, who has any real ability, there may be a few who can read and paint. Maybe there are a few, but the rest are nothing but nothing. My father has lived for most of his life and cannot see through anything. Among the same clan, the only one who has some ability is Prince Ning. Where is Prince Ning now? Alas... …In order to be on guard against the feudal lords, the imperial court always took precautions against the clan. In order to avoid the suspicion of the imperial court, most of the clan members indulged in wine and sex. What they feared was that they were as good as those in the forest. Over the past hundred years, no matter how qualified they were, they had become mediocre. , what good things can be produced from eating, drinking, having fun and sleeping with women all day long? Now that the country is in the hands of the Queen Mother, and behind the Queen Mother is the King of Chu, they can only do whatever they want. As for those ministers, they are frightened. Most of those who are frightened and a little more loyal have already gone with Zhu Youruan. Just wait and see, our clan's joke has just begun. It is a lie to ask the clan to serve as regent, but it is to embarrass the clan. real."
Zhu Yourong looked sad and lamented that he was born at the wrong time.
When the news came back to the capital, it was really eye-opening. Zhu Yourong would rather pretend to be crazy than come. As a result, the two bachelors in the cabinet were dumbfounded. Jiao Fang, on the other hand, looked calm and could not see any clues. Then he entered again. Meeting the Queen Mother in the palace.
Now that the King of Chu has been living in seclusion recently, Jiao Fang suddenly became a figure in the public eye. The first thing Jiao Fang did when she entered the palace was to report the matter to Queen Mother Zhang, and then asked to let Zhu Youxi, the king of Chong, enter the capital. Big, it is said that it is a bit nonsense. Queen Mother Zhang is also a little anxious now. She has killed a vassal king and the world has no owner. If she does not move out of the clan, people will inevitably think that she is the Queen Mother intervening in politics. She wants to imitate Wu Zetian. She has no choice but to , and had no choice but to agree.
It's a pity that when the imperial envoy arrived at King Chong's fiefdom, an even more shocking thing happened. King Chong Zhu Youxi 'accidentally' fell off the horse while riding a horse, and one of his legs was broken.
Since she had to recuperate, she naturally refused to go to Beijing. As a result, the imperial court had already selected a third person in a row. How could she let him go so easily? Naturally, she repeatedly urged him and even issued a stern warning from the imperial envoy. The Queen Mother was very angry and asked His Highness Prince Chong to come to Beijing as soon as possible.
Obviously this Prince Chong is not very smart. Zhu Yourong also knows how to act stupid. If you are crazy, at least you can't be the regent. You just broke your leg. It doesn't matter if you break your leg. The Ming Dynasty never discriminated against the disabled. , it’s just you.
