Chapter 12

The capital was in turmoil.

The emperor's oral order to bestow marriage was like dropping a stone into a calm lake, causing a large splash of water.

The British Duke Zhang Fu has no children, and marrying the eldest daughter of the British Duke is tantamount to gaining the support of the top military leader.

It is impossible for anyone to remain indifferent.

What's more, the one who married the British government this time is a prince.

……

Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse all the way from Hanwang Mansion to Qi Wangfu, kicked over the guards of Qiwangfu, and charged in front of Zhu Gaoxuan with a murderous look.

"Second Brother, what made you so angry?" Zhu Gaoyi was not surprised to see the King of Han, he had already prepared a banquet for the King of Han.

Seeing the delicacies on the table, King Han couldn't help being stunned.

"You guessed that I would come?" King Han frowned slightly.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Zhu Gaoxuan said with a smile.

The King of Han felt a little bit in his heart, and suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was like the King Qi in his memory.

"Since you have prepared delicious food and wine, why don't we two brothers have a drink?" King Han said with narrowed eyes, the murderous aura on his body subsided a lot.

"My brother has exactly that intention."

……

Zhu Gaoxuan poured a glass of Huadiao wine, brought it in front of the King of Han, and said, "This wine has drunk Liu Ling, made poets crazy, publicized Cao Mengde, written Hongmen Banquet, wet Qingming apricot blossom rain, and thinned Begonia Li Yi'an. Xiao Drinking to your liking can hurt your health, second brother, don't be greedy."

Holding the wine glass, the King of Han did not rush to drink, but said with cold eyes: "Are you warning me not to think about taking everything into your arms?"

"Let's understand it according to the second brother."

Zhu Gaoxuan poured himself another cup, and said self-deprecatingly, "I heard a rumor before that Emperor Yongle had four sons. The most powerful general in the world. The third son, Prince Zhao, was born with a seven-aperture exquisite heart and is good at strategy. Only the fourth son, Prince Qi, is a foolish son of the emperor's family, who is not capable of writing or martial arts."

"Whoever said this is so arrogant that he dares to talk about the Tian family!" The King of Han said coldly, "If this king catches him, he will have to peel off three layers of his skin!"

"Second brother, are you impatient?" Zhu Gaoyi took a sip of the Huadiao wine and said with a smile, "Everyone is telling the truth."

"is it?"

The king of Han looked at Zhu Gaoxuan and said, "In my king's opinion, among the four sons of the emperor's family, the youngest son should be the one who hides the most. Put on socks first, then shoes, and become a grandson first, and then a master. Fourth, you With a clever hand, even I was blindsided."

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled without saying a word.

What can he do?

People in the capital thought that the turmoil was caused by him, but they didn't know that the old man had a seizure.

Now even the king of Han thinks that Zhu Gaoxuan has hidden his secret hands, and after hiding for many years, the last appearance is the highlight, which directly grabs the British government to board the ship.

But things have come to this point, all Zhu Gaoxuan can do is push the boat along with the flow.

"Second brother, no matter what, life must be lived well." Zhu Gaoxuan said, "Everyone can live comfortably, okay?"

"Okay."

The King of Han put down his wine glass, "You are right, if you drink less wine, I will not accompany you."

After speaking, the king of Han got up and left.

Zhu Gaoyi shook his head: "It's a pity that there was a good meal."

"The conversation is broken."

……

When the King of Han returned to his mansion, he called his guest Su Qing into his study.

"Please contact our people in the court. Tomorrow morning, we will collectively impeach the Duke of England. I don't need this king to teach you what to do." Han Wang said coldly.

Although Su Qing is dressed in white, his identity is not simple. He is the chief counselor of the Han Palace.

"My lord, the emperor's sacred heart for bestowing marriage has been determined. If you obstruct her at this time, I'm afraid that not only will it not be effective, but it will also anger Long Wei." Su Qing hesitated.

He understood what the King of Han meant.

It is useless to attack King Qi, no matter how you say it, he is still a prince, not to mention the King of Han, even if the King of Han joins hands with the crown prince, he will not be able to hurt him.

King Qi has never been a vassal, the most the emperor punished him was a verbal education, could it be possible to reduce King Qi to a commoner?

Therefore, if the King of Han wants to attack King Qi, he can only start with the British government.

"If you can't do King Qi, can this king still be unable to do Yinggong?" The King of Han said coldly, "We have raised those civil servants for so long, and we have swallowed an unknown amount of money. We have to let them do something."

"Do you really think that this king is only supported by generals in the court?"

"The fourth younger brother of this king is still too young, thinking that he can compete with this king if he gets close to the British government?"

"If you don't teach him some lessons, how will this king gain a foothold in the capital in the future!"

……

Zhu Gaoxuan knew that the King of Han was probably planning to attack him when he returned this time.

The negotiation has collapsed, although Zhu Gaoxuan knew that the possibility of shaking hands with the King of Han to make peace was less than or equal to zero.

Because once Zhu Gaoxuan made peace with the King of Han, the energy of the British government and the military power in the hands of the King of Han meant that the two had the ability to mutiny.

Zhu Di will not allow this to happen, he will choose to take back the military power of one of them, and this person will undoubtedly be the King of Han. After all, the old man just gave Zhu Gaoxuan a marriage, and now taking back his life is tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

So if the King of Han agreed to negotiate peace, it would be tantamount to returning all the military power in his hands to Zhu Di, how could he agree!

But Zhu Gaoxuan, as a vassal king, was cautious in every step, and the King of Han had no place to attack him.

The only weakness is the British government.

The marriage with the British government this time is tantamount to binding Qi Wangfu and the British government on the same boat. At this time, the British government Zhang Fu is fighting abroad, and the British government is unprecedentedly weak. If the King of Han wants to take action against the British government, it is the last At a good time, the court is alone and helpless.

It is impossible for Zhu Gaoxuan to sit idly by, if the British government house collapses, no one will be willing to stand in line with Prince Qi's mansion in the future, and Zhu Gaoxuan is tantamount to destroying his own siblings.

"It's finally come to this point."

Zhu Gaoyi shook his head, and said to the servants outside, "Come on, prepare your horse!"

"This king is going to the East Palace to visit my elder brother!"

……

Royal Palace
Fresh grass is luxuriant by the lake, and you can see the deep lake. An old man in a blue robe stands in front of the white marble railing, holding a bait in his hand.

With a big wave of his hand, Zhu Di threw the bloody bait into the lake.

In an instant, the calm surface of the lake boiled, and countless koi jumped out of the water, vying for the bait to eat.

"Look, you only need to sprinkle a handful of bait. No matter how deep the fish is hidden, they can't resist the temptation and they all jumped out." Zhu Di smiled to the eunuch behind him, "Let's fight, grab, the more chaotic the killing , I can see more clearly, what do you say."

The eunuch Menqing knew that the emperor was talking about the current situation in the capital.

The reason why the capital is in chaos is not because Zhu Di sprinkled a handful of bait.

"Your majesty is wise." The eunuch replied respectfully, "Everything is under your control."

"Wrong." Zhu Di shook his head.

The eunuch's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and he didn't know which sentence he said wrong.

"Not everything will be under my control, and the emperor is not omniscient." Zhu Di sighed, "Until now, I can't see a single person clearly."

"King Qi."
