high official

Chapter 761 Human taste
The reason why Zhu Yong is so grateful to Wang Xian is very simple, because when Wang Xian reported to the emperor, he did not expose his shortcomings.Instead, he was discussed together with Liu Sheng and Xue Lu, giving the emperor the impression that the three had the same reaction.In this way, Zhu Yong hesitated before the decree, almost killed Wang Xian, and ruined the emperor's major event, completely fooling Zhu Di.

Therefore, after the fact, Zhu Yong, Liu Sheng, and Xue Lu were rewarded by Zhu Di at the same time.This time, the emperor only let the three of them take charge of the guards, which showed that the three of them were the most trusted courtiers of the emperor.

Zhu Yong didn't dare to imagine what would happen to him if Wang Xian reported the truth, or even added fuel and vinegar.It is estimated that the emperor will not have an attack for a while, but he will definitely not trust himself again.

So Zhu Yong was grateful to Wang Xian, thanked him for disregarding past suspicions and covering up his faults, and said to himself, no wonder the second son of the Zhang family is so determined to hang out with him, it turns out that this kid is really righteous!

Leaving aside Cheng Guogong's full gratitude, let's just say that Wang Xian was carried into the palace, and he saw Zhu Di in a casual robe, sitting on a reclining chair, with a white bandage exposed at the open neckline.

Wang Xian got up quickly, and with Zhu Zhanji's support, he knelt down to worship Emperor Yongle.

"Forget it." Zhu Di looked at Wang Xian's pale face, and said with a smile, "We are also in the same disease, please sit down."

"I don't dare to be a minister." Wang Xian hurriedly declined. In front of the emperor, the courtiers had to kneel, and only the ministers and ministers were able to stand up after kneeling. It's a favorite like Zhang Fu.With Wang Xian's seniority and age, he had to kneel down honestly.

"Let you sit down." Zhu Di waved his hand, and the eunuch Li Yan brought over a chair with a backrest. "Firstly, you were injured like this, and secondly, you also saved me."

Hearing what the emperor said, Wang Xian felt relieved, even if he turned his face like a book, he would not kill himself.After thanking you thousands of times, Wang Xian sat down, but Zhu Zhanji stood beside him, the situation was very strange.

"The emperor's dragon body, is it all right?" Wang Xian asked.

"Hey, I'm getting old..." Zhu Di said sadly: "Back then, such a small injury would have been nothing but a long time ago." Wang Xiangang was about to comfort the emperor, but Zhu Di said: "I did a set of Tai Chi this morning. Fist, I feel that I can't exert strength."

"..." Wang Xian is so sweaty, you are so injured that you almost died of shock, and you can hit the ground in less than half a month, so you are still old? "Your Majesty is so fierce, and even though I am young, I am not as good as you."

"We can compare with Grandpa Huang." Zhu Zhanji's flattery also opened his mouth: "Grandpa Huang is a holy king born once in 1000 years, and he has a god to protect his body."

"Fart." Zhu Di laughed loudly, pulled the wound carelessly, his brows twitched, and his voice trembled: "My body was beaten on the battlefield, and I got used to it after being injured a lot. What kind of god... protects the body..." After saying these words, Zhu Di broke out in sweat...

When Wang Xian saw it, he understood, and thought that the emperor was bragging, so he punched like this?It's about the same as a drip.But I couldn't tell the truth, so I sang and flattered Zhu Di with Zhu Zhanji, coaxing Zhu Di into a smile, and I couldn't feel the pain of the wound.

While talking and laughing, Zhu Di suddenly said, "Who are you, Lin San?"

Wang Xian's smile stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere in the hall also plummeted to freezing point.

"Grandpa Emperor..." Zhu Zhanji whispered.

"Don't talk." Zhu Di stared at Wang Xian with gloomy eyes.

"Lin San, he is my nephew and brother of my minister." Wang Xian quickly said calmly.

"Hey..." Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but sighed softly. In fact, before he came in, he told Wang Xian to try his best to get rid of his relationship with Lin San, but obviously, when this guy became stubborn, he couldn't pull back even eight cows.

"Do you agree that the family is the first, or the brother is the first?" Zhu Di asked quietly.

"Acknowledge brothers first." Wang Xian has his own persistence, that is, he values ​​brotherhood, and he does not allow anyone to tarnish this friendship, including himself.Even if Lin San passed away and he was facing a critical moment of life and death, he was unwilling to deny his relationship with Lin San just to save his life.

"As the official of the imperial court, the governor of Beizhen, why did you make friends with the grandson of King Xiaoming, the young master of the White Lotus Sect?" The murderous look on Zhu Di's face became more and more serious, as if Wang Xian only wanted one answer. If it is not good, it will be pushed out to click.

Under the emperor's prestige, Wang Xian was very nervous.Not to mention him, even Zhu Zhanji beside him felt breathless.

"The minister was not an official of the imperial court at the time, and he didn't even know that he was a member of the White Lotus Sect." Wang Xian made up his mind not to hide a single word, he had to tell the truth, and he could be beaten or killed casually.Ever since, he returned to Hangzhou for the rural examination after the Northern Expedition, was framed by Jin Yiwei, and met Lin San, who was also in prison. San assassinated himself, but Lin San was merciful; when it came to Lin San revealing his identity to himself, he expressed that he did not want to fight against the court anymore, and wanted his brothers to have a peaceful life... until this time, Nan Haizi assassinated.

During the process of telling the story, Lin Sange's burly figure, heroic demeanor, soaring loyalty, and peerless skills, appeared in front of Wang Xian time and time again, making his eyes burst into tears...

Even Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji were heartbroken for the peerless man Wang Xian told about, saying to themselves: "No wonder Wang Xian is possessed by a demon. It is really worthwhile to be brothers with such a person." '

After Wang Xian finished speaking, he said in a soft voice: "This is how it happened. I am convicted, and I will let the emperor deal with me."

"Well, it's over." Zhu Di was a little lost, and felt quite a pity for Daming to lose such a scene.After being absent-minded for a while, he looked at Wang Xian and said, "You are indeed guilty. As the governor of Beizhen, you don't distinguish between public and private. How can I rest assured that I will entrust you with a heavier burden."

"Yes, I'm guilty, uh..." Wang Xian's heart was sinking, and he secretly thought that there was no good fruit to eat, but he was stunned when he heard the emperor's words changed.

"Hehe," Zhu Zhanji also heaved a sigh of relief. Since the emperor said so, the worst would be no reward or no punishment. It couldn't be better. "The grandson said the same thing about him. It's too righteous. It has to be changed in the future!"

"Loyalty is not a bad thing," Zhu Di shook his head and sighed sadly: "I used to think that the most important thing for a courtier is to be loyal. In order to be loyal, all morality and humanity have to be put aside. Such a courtier Only then can it be relied on." As he said that, the emperor's eyes showed pain. "That's why I used people like Chen Ying and Ji Gang. They are all ruthless people. As long as I give an order, let alone my own friends, even my own parents and mothers can be killed..."

Obviously, Ji Gang's rebellion dealt a heavy blow to Emperor Yongle.Seeing the emperor making self-criticism, Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanji didn't dare to intervene, they could only listen obediently. "I used to think that was loyalty. With such courtiers, I don't have to worry about them betraying." Zhu Di laughed at himself and said, "Now that I think about it, it's ridiculous. No matter how close the emperor is to his courtiers, he can be compared to others. Relatives and friends? If the courtiers can even betray their relatives and friends, how can they end up with the emperor?"

Wang Xianxin said, you have finally figured out this simple truth.But he definitely didn't mean to make fun of Zhu Di. Looking through the history books, most of the emperors couldn't recognize this until their death-because when they were emperors, their emotional intelligence basically stayed at the age of two or three, thinking that the world revolved around themselves, and their own In everyone's heart, it is taken for granted above all else.

To be able to recognize one's own position in people's hearts, for the emperor who is the only one who respects me, this is such a painful realization... But if he fails to realize this point, he will basically be cut off from Mingjun.

"So grandson, you still need to use a courtier with a human face." Zhu Di educated Zhu Zhanji. "Only when you are human will you express your feelings. If you treat him well, he will reciprocate your kindness. If you have no taste, let him go as far as he can!"

"The grandson will keep it in mind." Zhu Di's words had a great impact on Zhu Zhanji.Having received traditional imperial education since he was a child, Zhu Zhanji often focused on the dark side of people. Zhu Di's words opened a window in his heart and let the sun shine in.

.

Wang Xian also made up his mind, he knew he did the right thing.If Zhu Zhanji followed Zhu Zhanji's previous move and desperately separated his relationship with Lin San, it would definitely arouse Emperor Yongle's disgust.

"Wang Xian," Zhu Di's voice brought Wang Xian back to his senses, and the emperor asked slowly, "What reward do you want?"

'Xu Miaojin...' Wang Xian almost blurted out these three words, but fortunately he hadn't lost his mind, and reined in his horse and said: "After all, I was wrong, and I dare not ask for rewards. If I can not be punished, I will be satisfied."

"Hey," Zhu Di said with a wave of his hand: "You came thousands of miles to save me and my great-grandson. If you don't reward you, wouldn't it be chilling... Who will stand up for the emperor in the future?"

"Yes." Zhu Zhanji was very happy, and said aside: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. The emperor wants rewards and punishments, and we are all happy to bear it."

"That's the reason." Zhu Di nodded and said, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Then I just said it..." Wang Xian gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I ask the emperor to send troops quickly to save the soldiers in Zhenjiang City!"

As soon as Wang Xian's voice fell, Zhu Zhanji's heart became hot, and he said to himself: "What is human flavor, this is human flavor."My brother is really... human. I said in my heart that I would not be jealous of a dead person... In fact, Zhu Zhanji reacted so strongly to Lin San's matter, to a large extent, because he felt that Wang Xian had more feelings for Lin San than for himself...

"Is this the reward you want?" Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, with a half-smile.

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded with firm eyes.
