    Kings Seize Heirs¡¿Chapter 30 Traitor Judah

    "Boom!" With a soft sound, the wood in front of Zhu Cixi was split into two halves. Holding the ax in his hand, he sighed and already accumulated half of the wood like a hill. He threw the ax away, and there was already someone there.  A hand towel was handed to him to wipe his sweat.

    Whenever Zhu Ci had troubles, he would use this method to relieve his depression. Over time, it became a habit. Yesterday, Empress Yi Fei came to see him, and today, Chief Steward Tian Rong came to him and asked him to take a break.  Zi knew a lot of things, which made his heart unable to calm down for a long time. He even wanted to go to his father and tell him all this, but he knew that this was related to the life and death of too many people, so he had to be more cautious.

    Zhu Ci? Have you ever thought about the throne?  After thinking about it, he is also a human being, and naturally he is not exempt from the secular world. For a long time, it seemed to him that it was impossible for him to inherit the throne, so he spent a lot of time studying and exercising. Suddenly he learned that there was a huge force  His power can be used by him, and anyone in his position would be a little confused.

    Zhu Cixi was a filial son, and he didn't have the thought or courage to attack his father and brother. However, Tian Rong's words made him feel the urgency of the situation. If it dragged on, he might miss the throne, but family ties and family ties made Zhu Cixiang feel the urgency of the situation.  Hesitating, he looked back at the ax on the ground. It seemed that he still did not have the potential to be an emperor!

    Thirty years of Hongguang, spring.  At the suggestion of the ministers, Emperor Hongguang decided to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. Although it was a pretext to fool the public, Emperor Hongguang also had plans to visit the north, so the matter was finalized.

    I handed over the memorials submitted by the Military Aircraft Department and the Sixth Department after reviewing them.  I stretched my waist and said, "Tian Rong, hasn't Chen Yonghua arrived yet?" I left Nanjing for a northern tour. There must be someone in charge at home. Wang Duo is already old and often falls asleep while sitting. He is completely in a "retired" state.  It was really difficult to find a candidate to replace Wang Duo as prime minister, so in the end I decided to let Chen Yonghua come back from Huguang.  Let him experience it. In fact, the most suitable candidate for prime minister is Zhu Youlang. At first, his identity always made me worried.

    Tian Rong was very happy when he learned that the emperor had already made plans to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen and tour the north. "Back to the emperor, Mr. Chen has not come to Beijing yet, but it will only be a matter of a day or two."

    "Tian Rong! After I leave, I will ask Ci to supervise the country. Don't follow me. The palace cannot be without someone in charge." I looked at Tian Rong, "Just look after the house for me!"

    Tian Rong's heart moved after hearing this, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Xiaodi is here to ensure that your Majesty can leave with peace of mind. I wonder how long your Majesty will be gone this time?"

    "I always thought about going on a northern tour, but there are too many things. Now I have nothing to do, but my body is getting older day by day. It seems that this is the first and last time. I will be outside for more than half a year," I said.  Very sentimental, "Go! I want to be alone for a while."

    When I closed my eyes to relax, I heard footsteps approaching.  "Is it you? Everything has been arranged!"

    "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged and everything is guaranteed to be foolproof. Your Majesty can go on the northern tour with peace of mind." The voice of the speaker was not very high, and was slightly hoarse.

    I opened my eyes and looked at him, "Why do you want to help me? This will not be of any greater benefit to you!" I felt that the behavior of the man in front of me was a bit unpredictable.

    "Because you are the emperor! And because the emperor can still do it without me. Small things are just the icing on the cake. In fact, the emperor can kill me. It is me who chills the emperor too much." The person who spoke was obviously moved.  .  The voice was trembling.

    I nodded.  "Okay! It's rare that you still have this thought. Do you want to know why I know that?" I saw that he obviously wanted to ask.  "Because I don't trust anyone, I don't even trust myself, so how can I trust you 100%! If you can stand on the right team at this time, you won't disappoint me too much, just do something!"

    The edict to supervise the country soon arrived in Zhu Ci?'s hands. Zhu Ci looked at his eldest brother with a smile, "Brother, this has settled the overall situation. My father is going to patrol the north and my eldest brother will supervise the country. When my father comes back, he will definitely be enthroned.  Prince, we have finally waited for this day."

    Zhu Ci only had a faint smile on his face, "Fifth brother, don't be anxious. Chen Yonghua, the Duke of Yue, has been appointed as the Acting Prime Minister. We must cooperate with the Duke of Yue to achieve some results during this period of time, so that we can live up to our father."  Such expectations!¡±

    "Brother is right." Lao Baci nodded, "It is only right to make further progress. Brother, fifth brother, we have to be careful this time! If we fail, our father will definitely not spare us.  "

    Different from the joy he felt in Prince Chu's Mansion, Zhu Cixuan's face immediately darkened when he returned home. He knew that his father would definitely appoint his eldest brother as the crown prince when he came to visit the north. His plan was half successful, and the second half was the more critical time.  nowLike sailing a boat in stormy waves, Zhu Cixuan felt a little unable to control the rudder.

    Emperor Hongguang attaches great importance to this northern tour, and the standards are quite high. Perhaps he has achieved something unprecedented and unprecedented. The cost is expected to be around five million, because this northern tour will not only enshrine Zen in Mount Tai and worship Confucius at the Confucius Mansion, but also  I also have to go to Beijing to stay for a while, and the food, drinks, and toilets of the entourage all cost money.

    Wang Yuanwu's face was covered with sweat. He had been setting up around Mount Tai for nearly half a month. It could be said that except for Emperor Hongguang's entourage, they were all his people, or Tian Rong's confidants for many years.

    Tian Lin coughed and said, "We are just showing off. Don't kill Hong Guang. If Hong Guang dies, it will be detrimental to us." Tian Lin is Tian Rong's adopted godson and one of Tian Rong's most capable helpers.

    Wang Yuanwu smiled and said, "Killing the emperor is not an easy task. We just need to do what we need to do, and King Qi will naturally do the rest." Wang Yuanwu knew that Emperor Hongguang's security work was very strict, even if  For a real assassination, the possibility of success is extremely slim.

    Tian Lin was equally worried. Hearing Wang Yuanwu talk about King Qi, Tian Lin sighed, "It is impossible for my father to persuade King Qi to launch a coup to seize the palace. Besides, the emperor is outside, and if something unexpected happens, it will definitely be King Chu who gets the advantage, so  Our plan cannot fail, but my father also said that we must push King Qi to that step. It is up to people to plan things. It is up to God to make things happen. If there is a slight mistake, we will all die. "

    Wang Yuanwu listened and felt that Tian Lin was a little pessimistic, "As long as King Qi can get the emperor's abdication edict and succession edict, return to the capital in a hurry, and there is a Tian manager in the capital, everything will go smoothly."

    "I hope so, no matter what we do. Luck or not is also one thing. Zhuge Liang is great or not, but he can't help Shu Han unify the Three Kingdoms. That is fate. Let's see what our fate is like! I will assign the tasks.  Dad has been raising these dead soldiers for many years, and it¡¯s time to use them." Tian Lin clenched his fists, as if he could get strength from them.

    The post office station near Mount Tai was expanded a few months ago.  It was prepared to welcome Emperor Hongguang. Although it was not luxurious, it had everything it needed.

    It¡¯s always a bit cold at night on the mountainside. The night wind blows, and it¡¯s really hard to bear it without covering yourself with a quilt.  I was thinking about the Zen Ceremony tomorrow morning, so I didn¡¯t sleep well.  According to my original intention, I didn't want to do any of these things, but I couldn't stop the buzzing of the courtiers, so I had no choice but to come here and suffer.

    When I was sleeping in a daze, I suddenly heard several sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, and then someone shouted to arrest the assassin. I didn¡¯t understand what was going on!  The door was kicked open, and two masked men in dark clothes rushed in and rushed toward me.  I rolled under the bed, and both swords were empty.

    Just as I was rolling on the spot, the guards had already rushed in.  They were not given any chance to kill them on the spot.  I was helped up from the ground by Lin Zhouxing, and only then did I feel uncomfortable.  The situation was critical just now. I hid too hard and bruised my arms and kneecaps. "Lin Zhouxing, why did this happen?"

    Lin Zhouxing was so frightened that he trembled. Hearing Emperor Hongguang's question, he knelt down in fright, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's all because of our poor protection. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." If Emperor Hongguang had any good intentions, he would  No need to live anymore.

    "Go and find out what these people are doing? Just leave them alive!" As I was talking, there was suddenly the sound of running outside, and it sounded like there were many people.

    Lin Zhouxing also heard it, and signaled his men to protect Emperor Hongguang, "Wei Chen, go out and take a look." When Lin Zhouxing came out, he found hundreds of people outside, all fully armed. If he hadn't seen that the leader was Qi  Wang Zhuci? Lin Zhouxing thought someone was planning to rebel!

    What Lin Zhouxing didn¡¯t expect was that as soon as he stepped forward to say hello, he was caught by the people next to Zhu Ci, and a piece of rag was blocked in his mouth, making him unable to speak.

    Zhu Ci knew that in addition to the personal guards accompanying his father, the five thousand cavalry were the most difficult to deal with. Fortunately, he had been struggling in the military academy for so many years and had a few confidants. The peripheral situation was not bad. Let's see now.  Father's attitude.

    ??The guards protecting Emperor Hongguang all recognized Zhu Ci, so Zhu Ci said a few words and replaced all the people outside. No one thought that King Qi would be detrimental to Hong Guang, and they all thought it was impossible to happen.

    Zhu Ci came inside and saw his father drinking water. He stepped in and said, "My son, I would like to say hello to my father! There was an assassin just now, which shocked my father."

    I looked at the third child, "You didn't send someone to assassinate you, did you?" Although I knew it, I didn't expect Ci?

    "I don't dare even if I'm scared to death!" Emperor Hongguang's words made Zhu Ci start sweating on his face. Emperor Hongguang's accumulated prestige over the years, coupled with his own cowardice, stood up and told the story like he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. As the story went on, Zhu Ci? also calmed down. Although he did not dare to look at his father, his tone had changed a lot, "Father, I only need  My father's abdication edict and my imperial edict of succession, I don't want to harm my father."

    After I heard the whole story, which was much more detailed than what I knew before, I looked at Ci? "Do you think you have the courage to be an emperor? I have already set a position in my heart for you to lead the army to fight and pacify the country."  On one side, you are more than enough, but if you are asked to take charge of a country's livelihood, you don't have the mental capacity!"

    Zhu Ci? I don¡¯t know why, but I always feel that I am passive, but now it is clear that he is taking the initiative!  It seems that it was caused by fear of his father. "Father, my son and I only need two edicts. Please fulfill them. Father, please don't force me."

    I sighed, "I feel that I am really short-sighted. I kept a person with ulterior motives by my side, which is a disaster! You want an edict? I can give it to you." I didn't even think about ordering someone to grind the ink and write it.  He issued two edicts and stamped them with seals.

    Zhu Ci took the edict, read it clearly, and cried, "Father, my son and minister are unfilial, please forgive me for a few days." Because he did not dare to look at Emperor Hongguang anymore, Zhu Ci lowered his head and left.  , and immediately ordered people to put Emperor Hongguang under house arrest.

    After all this trouble, it was already daybreak, and the morning glow shone red on the windows. I looked at the scenery outside, but I couldn't feel happy at all. Ci?, no matter how you look at it, you are not the material to be an emperor.  I know where is the courage he had when he was arguing with Li Dingguo; Tian Rong is also a poor person, and the eunuch's personality is inherently incomplete. Although I knew some time ago that he has always liked Shuang'er, I was not angry because of it. I have a crush on a  People, I don¡¯t regret giving my life for that person. I can understand the mood, but what I can¡¯t tolerate is his behavior. When people are smart, the water cannons on their feet are also done by themselves!

    Zhu Ci hurriedly returned to Nanjing day and night and handed both imperial edicts to Tian Rong, "General manager, why do I feel something is wrong!" Zhu Ci had a bad intuition, "It is impossible for us to mobilize the troops.  Even with the power of his confidants, there are only a thousand people, it¡¯s definitely not enough!¡±

    Tian Rong verified the authenticity of the imperial edict, and said that it was okay. Anyway, he got the useful edict back. After listening to Zhu Ci's question, Tian Rong smiled, "We don't need the troops, the city is within the city."  I have already arranged for more than 3,000 people, which is completely enough. As long as I control the King of Chu, King Qin and a group of courtiers, and reveal the edict, the prince¡¯s throne will be secure, and there will be nothing wrong with the emperor!¡±

    Zhu Ci nodded, "I have left my confidants to take care of my father. There will definitely be no problem. What remains now is how to deal with possible emergencies in Nanjing."

    Tian Rong smiled, "The most worrying thing is the military. Gao Di and the others may even take this opportunity to get rid of us and the King of Chu and King Qin. But now with these two edicts, the military will not get involved, so  The rest are not enough of a threat to us." Tian Rong and Zhu Ci smiled at each other, but their boat was getting closer and closer to the abyss, and there was a possibility of capsizing at any time.
