Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Before the end of the first month, it was snowing heavily.

Yuan Zhi came out of the palace door on a rare occasion, and stood under the porch to watch the snowflakes fall profusely.

Whether it is clean or dirty, it is covered by this vast expanse of whiteness.

But there was a heart-piercing cry from outside the Anxi Palace, and it was the male-duck voice unique to young people.

Yuan Zhi was startled - the only teenagers in the palace were Zhu Jianshen's underage brothers.

Zhu Jianshen, who was reviewing the memorials in the hall, also came out, and went to the gate of Anxi Palace with Yuan Zhi to check.

Outside the door was Zhu Jianshen's eighth younger brother, 15-year-old Xin Wang Zhu Jianzhi.

Zhu Jianzhi knelt in the snow in a python robe and cried heartbreakingly, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing that Zhu Jianshen had come out, he hurriedly stepped forward on his knees, grabbed the hem of Zhu Jianshen's robe and cried, "Brother Huang! Brother Huang! You can't believe the words of the Qin Tianjian gang! Brother Huang! My younger brother is loyal to Brother Huang. I have absolutely no intention of coveting the throne! There are four older brothers in front of me, and it’s not my turn to be crowned king! Please give me a lesson from my brother, my brother!”

Zhu Jianshen helped Zhu Jianzhi up with a livid face, and angrily said to the left and right: "King Xin is my own younger brother, with golden branches and jade leaves, who encouraged him to kneel here in heavy snow? Come, arrest the servants of King Xin and send them to the Department of Punishment Thirty boards will be fined!"

Zhu Jianzhi looked panicked.

Zhu Jianshen said gently and soothingly: "Recently, the palace is under martial law, you can't walk around at will, you go back first, so you can rest. Don't listen to others gossiping."

Zhu Jianzhi calmed down a little, coughed a few times and wanted to express his loyalty: "Your Majesty, I have no second thoughts..."

Zhu Jianshen ordered someone to take Zhu Jianzhi back to Beisan to rest, but he watched Zhu Jianzhi slowly leave with deep eyes.

Yuan Zhi asked strangely: "What happened to King Xin?"

Zhu Jianshen sighed softly: "Prince Xin panicked about the celestial phenomenon judged by Qin Tianjian last month. When I was his age, I was so panicked like a bereaved dog..."

Speaking of this, he frowned slightly, and looked at his robe that was just pulled by King Xin.

"Tan Ji, change clothes for me!" Zhu Jianshen said and strode to the West Side Hall, asking Tan Ji to bring him clothes and change them inside and out.

For the sake of safety, he simply rested in the West Side Hall.

On the second night, Zhu Jianshen developed a high fever and occasionally coughed a few times.

After all, Yuanzhi has experienced several epidemics in modern society, and quickly concluded that this is a respiratory infectious disease, which is extremely toxic and contagious.

Under Yuan Zhi's careful care, after seven days, Zhu Jianshen gradually recovered, and no one else in Anxi Palace was infected.

However, King Xin was not so lucky. Many servants in the North Three Institute were also infected with the disease, and three of them died.

King Xin had the imperial physician's best efforts to treat him, but finally passed away in late February.

Zhu Jianshen became more and more reclusive.

The current struggle has reached its most intense stage.

The Empress Dowager Zhou also made frequent moves and asked the Zhou family to marry a daughter to Sun Zan, the eldest son of Marquis Huichang.Before getting married, the Empress Dowager Zhou called the Zhou daughter into the palace and told her face to face for a long time.

Zhu Jianshen directly ordered to ask Funing Hou Zhu Yong and others to select and make up for the shortage of officers and soldiers in the regiment battalion from the three battalions of the Fifth Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion.

Zhu Yong and others acted quickly, filling up the vacancies in early March. Zhu Jianshen ordered that the number of officers and soldiers in the regiment battalion and the roster should be reported every quarter, which can be regarded as a refined management of the [-]th regiment battalion.

At the end of March, Liu Yongcheng passed away.In April, Dingxiang Bo Guo Deng passed away.

Zhu Jianshen wanted to give Liu Yongcheng the ancestral hall and a posthumous posthumous title, but the chief minister of the cabinet dissuaded him, saying, "Wang Zhen assisted the Yingzong for a long time, and died of state affairs. The restoration of the Yingzong did not want to give more tributes, because there is no old rule to stop granting the ancestral temple. Today Liu Yongcheng It is already too much to grant the amount as usual, if you add a posthumous posthumous title to Wang Zhen, it will be unfair and people will not accept it. .At this time of troubled times, it is appropriate to abide by the constitution to comfort people's hearts, and not to easily change it to cause external discussions."

Zhu Jianshen still agreed.

Now is the critical period for all-round confrontation with the relatives' party, and one thing more is worse than one thing less.

In April, Zhu Jianshen arranged a military parade in Xiyuan, and personally inspected the general's riding and shooting in the camp.

On the grounds that he was unqualified in riding and archery, a group of princes including Guo Song, the son-in-law of Huichang Hou and the new Dingxiang Bo, were deprived of their real power.

The Marquis of Huichang panicked, and he asked his henchman, Li Zhao, the foreman of Liuzhongdu, to command the Tongzhi, and lead 9000 people to Beijing to defend the safety of the capital.

The Ministry of War asked Li Zhao to return to Fengyang to lead the remaining 500 people, but the Marquis of Huichang insisted that Li Zhao stay in the capital, saying that the 9000 people also had to be led by someone.

Zhu Jianshen actually agreed.

At this moment, he hoped that Marquis Huichang would be more courageous and rebel, so that he could take over the party of his relatives!
What gave him such confidence was Zhu Yong's command of the army like a god. In just over three months, he completely changed the generals of the [-]th Regiment Battalion, preventing the possibility of mutiny among the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Camp.

Of course, this is not unrelated to the emperor's strong support for him.He took more than 1 people to the northwest border. More than 600 people were promoted because of military merits, and the other 6000 people received awards. The centripetal force and cohesion of his staff were quite high.

In August, the son-in-law of the Marquis of Huichang, Taining Marquis Chen Jing, the commander-in-chief of water transportation, died.

In September, Lingling was sick for several months, and Zhu Jianshu, the king of Xiu who had gone to Henan to become a fief, also died at the age of 21.

So far, the several dangerous astrological signs that violated Taiwei shown in the astrology last December have all been eliminated, except for the king of virtue Zhu Jianlin who is still at ease.

It was already November when Fang Yuanzhi learned of the news of King Xiu's death. At that time, Li Tai, who was most likely to join the cabinet of the foreign relatives, also died. Zhu Jianshen had a rare laugh and told the news of King Xiu's death by the way. she.

Fang Yuanzhi only felt chills all over.

She couldn't help asking: "Just because of the sky, does the prince who is already a prince have to die?"

Zhu Jian took a deep look at her, and asked lightly: "Do you think it's just because of the sky? I've been seriously ill a few times, and you and your child's illness, isn't it their handwriting?"

Fang Yuanzhi turned around, and carefully looked at Zhu Jianshen, who had a cold aura all over his body.

She felt that she didn't know him a little bit.

He is only 25 years old now, but he is indifferent and majestic, with a strong aura.

Fang Yuanzhi asked softly: "Is it King De's turn next?"

Zhu Jianshen frowned slightly: "King De, you have to live well, let him continue to dream of the Spring and Autumn Dream of ascension to the throne of God. If he dies, Jian Ze's mind should be alive, and I can't control my mother's place. With it With Chen'er here, King De's dream of becoming an emperor can only be imagined."

Fang Yuanzhi felt very uncomfortable.Although having a child was an accident, she was not willing to let the child become a bargaining chip in the struggle for power.

She asked depressedly: "Will Chan'er die as short-lived as the crown prince?"
