high official

Chapter 358 Dangerous situation
The giant ship of the building slowly approached the shore, and amidst the sound of the band playing triumphant music, groups of big Han generals disembarked on the stairs, and the emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty also appeared in front of everyone.

The music stopped, and Zhu Di's majestic voice sounded: "Everyone is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers stood up, and when the emperor stepped down the stairs, Duke Ding Xu Jingchang knelt and offered three glasses of wine.Originally, this should be the prince's errand, but at the moment the prince is absent, so he had to take the lead.

Glancing at his wife and nephew, Zhu Di suppressed his displeasure, held up a wine glass to sacrifice to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then asked Xu Jingchang to take off his cloak, which was regarded as the completion of the ceremony of "undressing the war robe"... This should also be done by the prince.

Immediately, the music played again, Zhu Di boarded Luanyu, and under the retinue of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, he walked slowly towards the city gate.

On the street, firecrackers crackled into a pot of porridge, and the people cheered and greeted one after another. Zhu Di smiled and waved to the subjects, but he asked Yang Pu, an official of the East Palace who was called to the Luanyu, coldly, "Where is the prince?"

"Uh..." Yang Pu was about to regret... He came to Longjiang Pass early this morning in order to supervise the matter of welcoming the driver. Prince is late!I had no choice but to say in a low voice: "His Royal Highness is delayed for some reason, he should arrive soon, and the emperor will know as soon as he asks."

"Hmph." Zhu Di snorted and said, "Is this how you assist the prince?"

"I'm guilty!" Yang Pu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "It's just that His Royal Highness is always punctual, and it's a big event to welcome the emperor. Something must have happened to cause this."

"Something happened?" Zhu Di said with an even more gloomy expression: "I came back from Hulanhulu all the way, thousands of miles away, and nothing happened. He went from the East Palace to Longjiang Pass, only four or five miles away, but something happened!" He said in a hateful voice: "With an old body, I went to Mobei, and I was born and died, all because of him, a waste? But he doesn't take me to heart at all, he is really not a son of man!"

Hearing the emperor's furious rage, Yang Pu sweated profusely, but he didn't know how to speak for the prince.

When he arrived at the palace, the servants waited for Zhu Di to wash his hands.At this time, Ji Gang, the commander of Jin Yiwei, hurried in and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I found out, His Royal Highness is hungover, so the meeting was delayed..."

"Okay!" Zhu Di was already full of anger, but now he added fuel to the fire, and he was even more angry: "I didn't believe you when you said that he was sensual, but I didn't expect it to be true! The night before I came back, he could drink I'm so drunk, I can imagine what will happen in normal times!" Zhu Di was really angry, he was eating and sleeping outside at such an old age, suffering from hunger and hunger, and he had to personally mention the battle to kill people, while his prince was drunk and dreaming in the rear. This feeling of being deceived and fooled makes the emperor, who has always been the only one who respects himself, extremely intolerable:

"How can my country be passed on to such a wicked beast, and bring that wicked son to me!" The emperor's roar echoed in the golden palace: "And his shrimp soldiers and crab generals, let me arrest them all!"

This is to create a great prison!It was time for Jin Yiwei to show off his power again, Ji Gang swallowed excitedly, and asked in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, who do you want to arrest?"

"Who should be investigated, who should be arrested, who should be interrogated, and how to interrogate, you know in your heart." Zhu Di said with a sullen face.

"Yes!" Ji Gang responded, got up and strode out. Outside the Golden Palace, his subordinates were already waiting there, obviously knowing that today they must arrest people!
His gaze swept across the crowd coldly, and he said sharply: "The emperor has a decree to arrest the officials of the East Palace! One must not be missing! There are also ministers who are staying behind, and all of them must be questioned!"

Although all the high-ranking officials in Jinyi knew that they were going to arrest people today, they didn't expect to take over the civilian officials who stayed in the capital. They all showed shocked expressions and said, "Shall we arrest people now?"

"Wait." Ji Gang said with gloomy eyes: "The emperor is going to hold a banquet and catch all the people. The emperor doesn't look good. You first mobilize people and wait in their private houses. When they return from the banquet, you can take people !"

"Here!" All the senior officials in Jinyi responded in unison, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

"You two come with me to the East Palace." Ji Gang glanced at his confidants Zhuang Jing and Yuan Jiang, and said coldly.

.

In the study room of the Eastern Palace, the imperial physician tried every means, pouring sober soup for the crown prince, acupuncture and moxibustion for a long time, and finally woke up His Highness the crown prince from his lethargy...

"Wake up, finally wake up!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions were still dignified.

Zhu Gaochi slowly opened his eyes, feeling the double images in his eyes. It took him a long time to resist his god, and asked in a hissing voice, "What time is it?"

"It's three quarters..." the princess said in a low voice.

"What time?" Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened.

"It's three o'clock."

"Ah?" The huge body of His Royal Highness, Huo De jumped up from the bed, and said in a panic: "How did I sleep until now? Go to Longjiang Pass!"

"Father, you don't need to go." A familiar voice sounded, and Zhu Zhanji appeared in front of the prince: "Grandpa Huang has already entered the palace."

"What?" Zhu Gaochi couldn't believe it, but seeing his son who was beside his father came back, he couldn't allow him not to believe it.Immediately sat down slumped, his chubby face that had been flushed turned pale, and beads of sweat were all over his forehead, he said in a trembling voice: "How could this happen, how could this happen?" Then he suddenly raised his head, looked at the people around him and said: "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Your Highness." Huang Huai, the attendant of the East Palace, sighed, "You're hungover, and you can't wake up anyway. In the end, you hired an imperial physician, and it's only now that you've been tossing..."

"I'm hungover?" Zhu Gaochi said in disbelief, "How is it possible..." He rubbed his painful head vigorously and said, "I couldn't sleep last night, and I only drank a glass of Suhe wine? How could I have a hangover? "

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the wine..." Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice, "But now is not the time to pursue this!" After a pause, he said, "Father, no matter what, it has already happened. Let's face it."

"The grandson is right." Huang Huai said: "It is certain that the crown prince has lost his manners this time, but this matter can be big or small, it depends on how the emperor thinks about it."

"Grandpa Huang will definitely make use of the topic..." Zhu Zhanji said coldly.

"That's right." Zhu Gaochi said dejectedly: "Father has heard too much slander, he has long wanted to punish me, and this time he just gave him a chance." He said with a sigh: "I want to change clothes for Gu, I want to enter the palace to plead guilty!"

The servant hurriedly dressed His Royal Highness, Zhu Zhanji helped Zhu Gaochi get up, and walked out slowly: "I will go with my father."

"You just came back, you should rest at home." Zhu Gaochi said.

"If the father is in trouble, the son will suffer the same." Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Besides, Grandpa Huang is so angry that he may not be able to listen to his father. It is better for me to explain for him."

"That's right." Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "Then I'll be wronged."

The father and son got into the carriage and drove towards the palace. Before they had traveled far, they were stopped in front of them - Ji Gang in a big red python robe, and two hundred Jinyi guards in flying fish suits with embroidered spring knives on their waists. The Prince's chariot surrounded him.

The guards of the Eastern Palace were not afraid of Jin Yiwei, and scolded: "Who dares to block the prince's car driving! Hurry up and get out of the way!"

"By order." Ji Gang didn't speak, and it was Zhuang Jing who spoke, and he shouted violently: "His Royal Highness, please enter the palace to face the saint!"

"His Royal Highness, please come with us!" Another confidant, Yuan Jiang, also said sharply.

The faces of the guards of the Eastern Palace changed greatly. This is the posture to capture the prince!If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was taken down by Jin Yiwei in the street, what face would he have to be the heir apparent? !
But near the imperial palace, Jin Yiwei is on a mission under the imperial order, who dares to stop it?To obstruct is to rebel, and that is to punish the Nine Clans!

The guards were walking around, and they heard a low voice: "Ji Gang, don't pass on the imperial decree!" Zhu Zhanji, who looked angry, got off the carriage and appeared in front of Ji Gang.

"Isn't this His Royal Highness Taisun?" Ji Gang cupped his fists, and said with a smirk: "I have an appointment with the emperor, so I can't fully salute, please forgive me, Your Highness." After a pause, he said: "However, Your Highness said that the minister falsely passed the imperial decree, That's purely framed, at the gate of the palace, even if I have the guts to be ambitious, I don't dare to pass a wrong word!"

"Bring it." Zhu Zhanji stretched out his hand.

"What?" Ji Gang was taken aback.

"Imperial decree!" Zhu Zhanji popped out these two words from between his teeth.

"The emperor sent an oral order, and His Highness went to see the emperor with us, so he naturally knows what he said is true." Ji Gang said.

"There's no evidence for what you say." Zhu Zhanji said coldly, "Who knows if you intend to cheat on my father."

"Your Highness, why did you say that? How could the subject be unfavorable to the Crown Prince?" Ji Gang said helplessly.

"Everything is possible." Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice, "If you don't step back quickly, my father will go to ask the saint to understand!"

"Let us protect His Highness the Crown Prince." Ji Gang insisted.This was specifically ordered by His Royal Highness the King of Han to discredit the prince.

"Don't you understand Gu's words?" Zhu Zhanji didn't talk nonsense with him, and shouted violently: "Get out!"

"Your Highness, calm down, forgive me..." Before Ji Gang could say the word 'fate', he heard a slap, and a long sword was already on his throat, and the bone-chilling chill immediately made him unable to speak Words, the body can not move.

Naturally, there were many masters around Ji Gang, but the sword attack of Feixian Tianwai came too suddenly, and after everyone reacted, Ji Gang was already restrained.

Swordsmanship is the ultimate skill of Master Sun of Wudang Mountain, but it is Zhu Zhanji who used the sword. He learned this trick from Xian Yun, just to use it desperately at critical moments.

"Your Highness, don't mess around." Zhuang Jing and the others were anxious, but Zhu Zhanji was the grandson.Although in their view, this great-grandson is already a past, but they still dare not be disrespectful, they only dared to stop him: "Our lord is the emperor's imperial envoy!"

"It's just a dog from my Zhu family, when did it bully its master!" Zhu Zhanji snorted coldly: "Everyone get away, or I'll cut off his dog's head!" Said Tongue burst into spring thunder, and shouted violently: "Get out!"

　There are too many things to do at the end of the year, and I feel exhausted when I sit down and write. One aspect is slow writing, and I am worried that I can't write well...
