"I just received the news," Zhu Zhanji said, "Wang Xian has already rescued his aunt and his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law on Xugong Island, and captured Ji Gang and his gang alive, and is rushing back with the fleet of the sailors, that is, they will be able to arrive in Beijing in three or two days." otbnkotgt "Great" Zhu Zhanjun jumped up excitedly: "I know that there is nothing that Second Brother Wang can't do" "Thank God" Zhu Gaochi was also overjoyed, and said with a happy face: "Your mother prays at home every day, and it is really the Bodhisattva's blessing."
"Father," Zhu Zhanji said with a solemn face: "Wang Xian, they're fine, let's think about it quickly, how to deal with the next situation." ” "That's right" Zhu Gaochi also looked nervous, and said with a worried face: "What is your imperial grandfather's attitude?"
"Grandpa Huang, hey" Zhu Zhanji said with a distressed expression: "I'm afraid I don't want to kill them all" "Of course," Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, not to mention that my father always feels indebted to the second child."
As he spoke, he frowned and said: "However, if your subordinates show mercy this time, how can you explain it to the people of the world" Zhu Gaochi thought of the tens of thousands of loyal and brave soldiers who died in Zhenjiang City, his face turned red, and he hissed: "It must be severely punished."
"Father," seeing his father's expression, Zhu Zhanji sighed and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid you can't do this."
"Why," Zhu Gao said in a sullen voice.
"Because of the emperor's grandfather, I don't want you to do this" Zhu Zhanji said softly, and Zhu Gaochi was stunned in one sentence, listening to Zhu Zhanji tell in detail about the bits and pieces of Emperor Yongle these days, especially last night, Zhu Di's words to his grandson Zhu Gaochi could not hear it, that was to let his grandson bring a message to his son, hoping that he could intercede with King Han "I'm afraid" Zhu Gaochi lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and finally raised his head and said, "I can't do it."
Hearing his father's words, Zhu Zhanjun, who was tense, looked relaxed.
"Father," Zhu Zhanji persuaded: "Even if you help intercede, my second uncle will be finished this time, and he will never be able to turn over again."
It doesn't matter to us whether he is dead or alive, as long as he is forever out of threat."
Zhu Gaochi listened silently, he knew that his son was telling the truth.
Indeed, Zhu Gaoxu was completely ruined this time, even if there was a glimmer of hope for a comeback.
At this time, interceding for him can not only please his father, but also meet the expectations of civil officials, and can leave a good reputation of benevolence and righteousness in the history books.
There seems to be no reason not to do this kind of good thing.
"Father, you better say this," Zhu Zhanji naturally wouldn't say it so bluntly, he still had to save face from his father, but I believe his father would definitely understand.
"Otherwise, the emperor's grandfather will be very sad" "You're right," Zhu Gaochi nodded slowly, and just when Zhu Zhanji was relieved and Zhu Zhanjun showed a disappointed expression, he suddenly sighed, and said slowly but firmly: "But I can't let the heroic spirits in the sky be sad" Zhu Gaochi said with a more resolute expression: "They sacrificed their precious lives to protect me."
If you had known that I had spoken for their enemies for my own benefit, I would have hated me."
"Father, in the past, we will have a hundred ways to repay them in the future" Zhu Zhanji persuaded bitterly: "If we make the emperor's grandfather angry, we will have a sad life in the future."
"How sad can I be" Zhu Gaochi was iron-hearted, and said coldly: "My father can still abolish me, and the third son will not succeed" "This" Zhu Zhanji of course knew that this was impossible, and said that King Zhao was still suspected of assassinating the emperor, just from the eyes of the emperor's grandfather, how could he not see that if his third uncle became the emperor, he must be a ridiculous and unscrupulous emperor.
So in the context of the doomed end of the Han King, his father, the crown prince, is really a little fearless.
It's just that in this way, I will be caught between my grandfather and father, and my life will be difficult "So be it."
Zhu Gaochi stopped the conversation, and sighed faintly: "As a son, as an elder brother, I can remain silent and not say a word, but if you want me to open my mouth to intercede, I can't."
"Father" Zhu Zhanji felt a little annoyed that his father didn't listen to him, but he saw Zhu Zhanjun adoring and said: "A father has to be a conscience when he does the right thing" Zhu Zhanji glared at the second brother fiercely and was silent.
The carriage drove into the capital, and Yang Shiqi sent Yang Rong home first, and then ordered the carriage to return home.
There was silence in the carriage, and Yang Shiqi was the only one left.
Looking at the pouring rain outside the window, Yang Shiqi recalled Yang Rong's words and thought about the consequences of doing so.
He had to admit that it was more beneficial to the civil official group to let go of the Han Dynasty than to hold on to the King of Han.
The emperor's anger will be transferred from the king of Han to the head of the entire military general group There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and Yang Shiqi suddenly shook his head, he finally understood a truth, civil officials killing people are not softer than military officials, and they are more vicious and vicious The carriage drove straight into the courtyard of Yang Shiqi's house, and the housekeeper held an umbrella and took his master next.
As soon as Yang Shiqi got out of the car, he saw Li Yan, the big eunuch beside Zhu Di, standing under the corridor and looking at him.
"Father-in-law Li."
Yang Shiqi hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Come in the rain, what are you doing?"
"The emperor Xuanyang has come to see you."
Li Yan smiled and said, "Bachelor, let's go quickly." ” "Oh, okay."
Yang Shiqi responded, looked down at the civilian robe on his body, and said to Li Yan: "Father-in-law, wait, the lower official will change into court clothes." ” "Bachelor, please."
Li Yan nodded, and watched Yang Shiqi go to the back.
In the main room of the backyard, Yang Shiqi's face was solemn, and while changing into court clothes, he lowered his head and pondered that Yang Rong guessed correctly, the emperor really summoned him as soon as he returned to Beijing, but it is estimated that Yang Rong did not guess that the emperor would be in such a hurry Yang Shiqi raised his head and looked at himself who was gradually dressed neatly in the mirror, he gradually had an idea After so many twists and turns and conspiracies, his colleagues were either killed or collapsed by Zhu Gaoxu, and he has been persevering until today.
It is nothing else that supports oneself, but a belief that justice will prevail If he exonerates Zhu Gaoxu according to what Yang Rong said, he may make the military generals pay a heavier price in the future, but at this moment, the long-overdue justice will be absent again It is conceivable that the people of the world will be disappointed a hundred years later, how to evaluate them in the history books There is no distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, no backbone, and a raccoon dog Thinking of this, Yang Shiqi finally made up his mind, he decided that this time, he would not listen to anyone's words, and only speak according to his conscience Yang Shiqi took the official hat, put it on his head upright, and then walked out with his head held high.
When Yang Shiqi followed Li Yan into the palace, he found that Jian Yi had also come, and it turned out that the emperor had not summoned him alone The two exchanged glances briefly, and then stood outside the dormitory, waiting for Zhu Di's summons.
It was still stormy outside, and the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, when suddenly a lightning bolt flashed, and Yang Shiqi vaguely saw that there seemed to be a person kneeling in the courtyard in the pouring rain Han King Yang Shiqi jumped out of his heart with a name, he looked at Jian Yi in surprise, and found that the other party also looked at the courtyard in surprise, obviously also found the person kneeling in the rain Another lightning bolt swept through the rain curtain, the sky and the earth were as bright as day, this time the two really saw clearly, the one kneeling in the rain was indeed the king of Han And the two of them could clearly see that the king of Han was wearing his upper body and carrying a thorn-like thing on his back, which seemed to be guilty of pleading thorns, and it seemed that it was not Zhu Di who arrested him, but he took the initiative to plead guilty Just as he was surprised, Li Yan went and returned, and whispered to the two: "Let's go in, the emperor is waiting." ” The two hurriedly threw away their cranky thoughts, straightened their clothes, took a deep breath and entered the dormitory.
In the dormitory, Zhu Di was wearing a Taoist robe, with a lake-blue jade-inlaid forehead tied on his head, and was walking around the soft carpet with his hands behind his back.
"The ministers meet the emperor," the two hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Get up."
Zhu Di waved his hand, and didn't look at them, so he said in a muffled voice: "When I left, I told you to let me take care of my home," he said and raised his voice in annoyance: "As a result, how did you show me my home?"
"The ministers are guilty, please punish the emperor" Yang Shiqi and Jian Yi were depressed, and said in their hearts that your sons have fought with thousands of troops, and we civil officials can use a fart, but who makes the other party the emperor, these slanders can only be thought about, and they have to honestly ask for guilt.
"What's the use of punishing you" Zhu Di also felt that he was a little excessive, and waved his hand: "What's more, in that kind of situation, you can't be of much use."

The two of them looked grateful, and said in their hearts, "You haven't used us as scapegoats."
"Get up."
Zhu Di asked the two to get up, he looked at Jian Yi first, and said slowly: "I heard that the capital is in chaos, so you fled to Zhenjiang."
"Your Majesty, the situation was extremely chaotic at that time, first Qingshou Temple was bombed into the sky with a bang, and then the army in the city began to move," Jian Yi had already thought of his rhetoric, and said with a sad face: "The minister wanted to figure out what was going on, so he wanted to go to Yingtianfu to find Xue Juzheng, but he ran into the people of Beizhen Fusi halfway, they said that the King of Han and Ji Gang were opposed, and then they couldn't help but say, so they got me in a carriage and went all the way out of the city, and when I was released, I had arrived in Zhenjiang" "So, didn't you take the initiative to go to Zhenjiang to defect to the prince" Zhu Di squinted his eyes and looked at Jianyi, but his voice couldn't hear joy or anger.
"Yes" Jian Yi is a person who understands and knows that the emperor minds very much, whether the courtiers are loyal to the prince or to his own emperor, so he said categorically: "If you can let the ministers choose by themselves, the ministers will definitely be in the capital, and they will not go anywhere" said with a wry smile and said: "But Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable to say":
