Zhu Youruan in the palace spends most of his time in his alchemy room. This is now popular among the vassals. Alchemy is a part of Zhu Youruan's boring life. In any case, as an outstanding royal family, Zhu You Nguyen clearly runs it in his family.
Yizhi finally arrived here after repeated calls.
The small town of Anlu suddenly became a sensation, but Zhu Youruan faced two problems.
This time it was Gao Jian, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, who came to deliver the message, and he was accompanied by an eunuch. Gao Jian, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, was invited to Zhu Youruan's alchemy room.
Zhu Youruan frowned. In addition to Gao Jian, there were also several palace staff. His eyes were looking forward, and with a touch of immortality, he said to Gao Jian: "How is the current situation in the DPRK?"
Gao Jian hurriedly said: "There is endless chaos."
Zhu Youruan frowned, showing some doubts.
Gao Jian continued: "Therefore, it is urgent for Your Highness to stabilize the current situation and protect the country."
Zhu Youruan said worriedly: "I, the regent, naturally have nothing to say. I belong to the royal family, and I have the unshirkable responsibility to protect the country. But is it possible for the emperor to return to the capital?"
Gao Jian said: "There has been no news for four months, I'm afraid it's more bad than good."
Zhu Youruan felt relieved now. As an uncle, when he came to Beijing, what he feared most was that the emperor would suddenly come back. When he came back, he would be finished, and no regent would end well.
Zhu Youruan hesitated again and said: "I plan to write a letter first to refuse to enter the capital. What do you think, sir?"
This is another test, Gao Jian said hurriedly: "Your Highness, no, this is an emergency, so we should do extraordinary things. Please put the country, the country and the country first."
Zhu Youruan was relieved now. At least he could be sure that there was a very powerful force in the DPRK supporting him.
In fact, the two sides did not have much contact, and they did not even exchange letters. However, from Anlu to the capital, there was more or less a tacit understanding.
Zhu Youruan couldn't help but ask: "What is an emergency? Is there something happening in Beijing?"
Gao Jian felt more and more that Zhu Youruan was too smart. Every question he asked was trying to probe him. He hesitated and glanced at the staff in the palace.
Zhu Youruan said with a smile: "My lord, you don't have to worry. These are my confidants. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
Gao Jian said: "The country has no external troubles, but there are powerful officials within. If His Highness does not come to Beijing, I am afraid that sooner or later the situation of the previous dynasty, in which ministers deceived the emperor, will happen again. The emperor and his ministers are putting the cart before the horse. This is a serious problem. I hope that Your Highness will take the common people into consideration and speed up Enter Beijing to take charge of the overall situation."
"Who is this minister?" Zhu Youruan asked without hesitation.
At this point, the questions were already a bit explicit. Gao Jian was complaining in his heart. Each of these questions was like a series of questions. Gao Jian came to greet the 'holy' this time. He was originally full of enthusiasm. He must be sure that when His Highness takes office in the future, , inevitably remembered his own benefits, so he didn't have too much defensiveness. However, if he kept asking like this, King Anlu clearly wanted him to say something, and there were some things that he couldn't just say.
Gao Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, this person is in charge of military affairs and cannot be underestimated."
He started to act carelessly.
Zhu Youruan sighed and said: "If this is the case, shouldn't I, the king, enter the capital? Otherwise, wouldn't it be unjust to be harmed by evil spirits?"
Gao Jian said: "Your Highness, don't worry. There are evil spirits in the country, and there are loyal ministers. Please put aside your doubts and enter the capital as soon as possible."
Zhu Youruan took a sip of tea, with a happy expression, and finally asked: "Who is the loyal minister?"
Gao Jian bit the bullet and said: "Cabinet ministers Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang are all loyal ministers."
Zhu Youruan narrowed his eyes: "Someone takes over the military power. Loyal ministers alone are not enough."
Gao Jian said: "Previously, King Qin's more than 300,000 troops and horses were not withdrawn. They still stayed in the capital area. These people are all loyal and brave men. There are also three major camps, such as Xiaoqi, Three Thousand, and Five Military Camps, all of which are dedicated to protecting the country. It¡¯s your duty.¡±
Zhu Youruan narrowed his eyes and said, "Where is the warrior camp?"
Gao Jian was silent.
"Where is the new army?"
Gao Jian continued to remain silent.
Zhu Youruan stretched out, sighed and said: "I already know that I am the direct bloodline of the late Emperor of Chenghua, a noble man, and the country's peril is tied to him. How can I sit idly by and ignore it? In this case, I The king will choose a day to enter the capital, Mr. Gao's words today are very pertinent and have won my heart. I will definitely thank you greatly in the future."
Gao Jian was relieved now. No matter what, although his words were a bit bold, they were still worth it, so he quickly said: "How dare you, the official. But I still have some things to say, I don't know whether I should say them or not."??¡±
Zhu Youruan said: "Master Gao, it doesn't matter if you say so."
Gao Jian said: "If you don't choose the day, the longer the delay, the easier it is to make mistakes."
Zhu Youruan frowned: "My relatives"
Gao Jian said: "His Royal Highness comes to the capital alone. It is okay to maintain the situation first and then bring his family to the capital."
"I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will not tolerate it." Zhu Youruan expressed his worries.
Think about it, after the decree was issued, you didn¡¯t even refuse, and you didn¡¯t even set up a memorial arch. You just ran to the capital like a rabbit. If anyone knew about this, Zhu Youruan was afraid that others would say that he was obsessed with interests.
Gao Jian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if we discuss it clearly."
In Gao Jian's view, this is not a big problem. Different interpretations of the same thing lead to different conclusions. The most important thing is who has the right to speak. To put it bluntly, it is still the same sentence: you If you are black, you are black. If you are white, you are a Kunlun slave, but you are as white as jade.
Zhu Youruan hesitated: "Then I will enter Beijing tomorrow."
After some exchanges, Zhu Youruan immediately made a decision. He is not a fool. Of course he knows what the capital is like now. His choice is obviously correct. Some people in the capital do not want him to go, while others have been looking forward to him for a long time. , he must reach the capital as quickly as possible.
Early the next morning, Zhu Youruan had already set off. At the same time, several express reports quickly reached the capital. In the palace of Prince Chu, Jiao Fang happened to be there. Liu Chengfeng read the express reports and sneered again and again.
Jiao Fang said: "Your Highness, there is news about Anlu?"
Liu Chengfeng said: "There is indeed news. Some people can't wait. Also, Gao Jian, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, is Yang Tinghe's disciple, right?"
Jiao Fang said: "Not bad."
Liu Chengfeng said: "This person is brave." After saying that, he passed the bulletin to Jiao Fang to read. After Jiao Fang read it, he gave Liu Chengfeng a very meaningful look and said, "These words may not be true for Gao Jian." Dare I say it, it¡¯s more like what King Anlu got out of his mouth.¡±
Liu Chengfeng said: "What do you mean?"
Jiao Fang said: "King Anlu is not an economical lamp, and His Highness has too much power. This time he hastily entered the capital, and I am afraid that his intentions are not small."
Liu Chengfeng nodded and said: "From all indications, this is indeed the case."
"Now the news is coming. Although there is no Chi Road from Anlu to the capital, there are Chi Roads connecting it to other prefectures. King Anlu is setting off lightly, and he will probably be able to reach the capital in the next few days. Your Highness , should we prepare in advance?¡±
"What are you preparing for?" Liu Chengfeng looked at Jiao Fang and said disdainfully: "There is no need to prepare anything. I will be here waiting for him to come."
Jiao Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, it is better to be more cautious."
Liu Chengfeng waved his hand: "I understand, you can go do your own thing."
Jiao Fang nodded and retreated.
The news reached Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang at the same time, and they were so excited that they refused to comment.
A few days later, Zhu Youruan has arrived in the capital. It is said that this dear friend is indeed a Taoist. Although he cannot travel a thousand miles a day, he can travel almost three hundred miles a day. His speed is really unmatched. If it were different in the past, it would be inevitable. If you want to be criticized, I have never heard of letting someone be an official. You came as fast as a rabbit. Most people have to be more reserved, just like a little daughter-in-law. They have to give in half-heartedly, but now , but there was a strange silence in the capital, as if this was not a stain at all. Of course, no one was stupid enough to use this as a propaganda, the only way was to ignore it.
But the problem arose again. King Anlu arrived in Gyeonggi Province, to be precise, he arrived in Beitong Prefecture. But when he arrived in Beitong Prefecture, he did not leave. It is strange to say that from Anlu to Beitong Prefecture, Zhu Youruan I kept traveling day and night, but when I arrived in Beitongzhou, I seemed to have lost all motivation. I just settled in Beitongzhou, and even after a whole day, I didn't leave.
Of course, there are reasons for not leaving. Most people just guessed whether Zhu Youruan still had to wait for Yi's decree. In fact, Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang guessed Zhu Youruan's thoughts, so on the third day, someone finally wrote a letter saying that it was true. It is necessary to ask the cabinet bachelor to go to Beitongzhou to welcome King Anlu to Beijing.
There is no such rule. Logically speaking, when a vassal king comes to Beijing, there is nothing wrong with sending officials from the Ministry of Rites to greet him at the city gate. However, it is extraordinary to send out officials with the rank of cabinet bachelor and go to Beitongzhou. .
At first, there was no movement in the palace, and the cabinet pretended that there was no movement, but the envoy below was in a panic. A good vassal king was forgiven by Beitongzhou, but no one was there.??Forgot him, and Zhu Youruan was calm and relaxed in Beitongzhou, but he was not a fool.
He came all the way here, so naturally he knew what he was here to do. Only when the name is right can the words be fulfilled. Since he wants to be the regent, the court must first determine his name. What should he do if he has no name or status? ?
So although he had lost his patience, he remained motionless, waiting for the Queen Mother to compromise with him.
After spending a few days in the palace, they felt that it would be unreasonable to continue like this, so they had to issue a decree and ordered Yang Tinghe to go to Beitongzhou.
Yang Tinghe immediately got on the road and rushed to see the troubled King Anlu.
