The heavens preach

Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang's expressions immediately changed.

"not……"

The four famous arresters of Six Doors also looked slightly pale.

Under the shocked eyes of Zhu Wushi and Yu Huatian.

Cao Zhengchun sighed:

"Yes, on the night of the full moon, the emperor will appear in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in person to watch the contest."

Say a word.

Immediately, the hearts of all the masters present were shocked.

this kind of thing.

The emperor actually wants to watch the battle...

Isn't that dangerous enough?

Chapter 204 Zhu Wushi Wants Everything!

The emperor is also going to join in the fun.

Go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony on a full moon night to watch the battle?

All of a sudden, everyone present was shocked.

But soon.

The four famous arresters made eye contact with each other. After looking at each other, they seemed to think of something.

"Some time ago, the emperor was obsessed with martial arts for no reason, so he asked my six doors for martial arts, so this time it is also because..."

An emperor who likes to practice Taoism.

Now he has become obsessed with martial arts.

Before, he was able to build this huge Taoist temple for his own cultivation, and he didn't even go to court for more than ten years.

Today is obviously also because he has become obsessed with martial arts, and has become the same mentality as those masters of the rivers and lakes. He wants to see the duel between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue.

This is not like an emperor.

But it's enough for a few people to think about these words in their hearts, and no one dared to show any strangeness on the face.

"Forget it, since the emperor thinks this way, then all of us will protect the emperor and the queen mother together when the time comes."

Zhu ignored it and let out a breath.

In the hall, Wu Qing also spoke:

"Then my Six Doors will start looking for Lu Xiaofeng now."

soon.

The leaders of the four major court departments began to leave, leaving one after another from the six doors.

……

Zhu Wushi was followed by the three secret agents of heaven, earth and Xuan.

After leaving the six doors.

Duan Tianya frowned puzzled, and asked Zhu Wushi:

"Father, it is too dangerous for the emperor to go to watch the battle, you really don't want to advise and dissuade..."

"That's right, there was a mixed bag of fish and dragons on the top of the Forbidden City that night. Even if we pass the screening, it's hard to say what will happen to us. Father-in-law, you'd better go see the emperor and let him dispel the idea of ​​watching the battle."

Shangguan Haitang followed closely with the postscript.

Zhu ignored his hands in front of him, his eyes were deep, and his tone became slightly thicker:

"As a father, I feel that the emperor has to do this."

"What do you mean by foster father's words?"

Both Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang showed doubts.

Even the taciturn Guihai Yidao, who followed behind them like a shadow, raised his eyebrows slightly.

What does the emperor have to do.

Zhu ignored Shen Sheng and said:

"Two swordsmen from the rivers and lakes came to the top of the Forbidden City to duel and really offended the royal majesty, but I have to say, we have nothing to do with those two."

After the news of the decisive battle came out.

Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng seemed to have disappeared into the rivers and lakes.

So even if the imperial court sent people to find the two people in advance, if they had to change the battlefield, they couldn't do it.

no one knows where...

"Under such circumstances, since the duel between these two people is inevitable, we can only try to minimize the damage to the royal prestige. The best way is to do the opposite and not completely block the masters of the rivers and lakes who come to watch the battle. Instead, it demonstrates the confidence and prestige of the court and the royal family."

"And if we can go one step further, on the day of the decisive battle, even the emperor will show up to watch the battle, and even reward the winner with some kind of title after the battle, then another concept will be formed in the eyes of the world, no matter how strong these two swordsmen are, they cannot It's just a school competition in front of the emperor, and it belongs to two subjects under the emperor's command."

Hear what Tiedan Shenhou said.

Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang suddenly realized:

"The emperor can think so far-reachingly, he is worthy of being the lord of the world."

Although the silent Guihai Yidao didn't speak, he looked at Zhu Wushi in reverence, and said to himself:

Only the adoptive father who is also in the royal family can see clearly what the emperor thinks.

Zhu ignored his hands behind his back, the imperial clothes fluctuated between his steps, and said to the three adoptive sons indifferently:

"So, our mission that day was to ensure the emperor's absolute safety while watching the battle, implement the emperor's ideas thoroughly, and maintain the royal face."

"For the father and you, it may be the emperor's confidence to dare to do this."

Hearing the earnestness of the foster father's words.

"Obey, the three of us will definitely protect the emperor!!"

The three of them vibrated at the same time.

The sound spread through the air in all directions, causing a bird on the tree to flap its wings and fly away.

"good……"

Zhu ignored the voices of the three adoptive sons, and walked with his back to them and his hands behind his back, with a deep smile on his face.

"During this period, the three of you should go to familiarize yourself with the guarding work of the imperial city, and you don't have to go back to the villa."

"Yes!"

The three were immediately sent out by Zhu Wushi and integrated into the imperial city.

…………

Hulong Villa covers a vast area.

Inside the hall.

Only Zhu ignored one person and came back here.

Suddenly, a voice appeared.

"Shenhou really thinks that the emperor has such a strategy, not only did he not protect himself that day, but also boldly went to watch the battle under the moon, in order to further demonstrate the majesty of the emperor?"

Accompanied by the voice, a middle-aged man dressed as an Japanese swordsman walked out from the shadows deep in the hall.

His icy aura made the floor under his feet chill repeatedly and spread outward.

"Ha ha……"

Tie Dan Shenhou put his hands behind his back and smiled lightly.

Standing in the empty hall, his eyes gradually became different from those in front of the three adoptive sons, revealing a deep and sharp look:

"Maybe so, after all, I have never really underestimated this nephew..."

Although he was born of the former emperor and a court lady, so that he thought it was inherently unfair that he missed the throne, but he did not underestimate that young nephew, thinking that he was not worthy of being an emperor.

Although the emperor has not been in court for the past 12 years, he has always firmly grasped the power of the court and government, and there has been no trouble.

Of course, there are some reasons for the ability of the old minister Gu Ming, but the ability of the young emperor must not be ignored.

The Dongying swordsman, who was gradually walking towards the god of iron courage, narrowed his eyes:

"What are your plans for the future?"

Zhu ignored the voice and became a bit cold:

"This decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City may look like an ordinary duel between two swordsmen in the eyes of others.

It's just that they were a little arrogant, so they chose the palace as the venue to show their extraordinaryness.

but……"

Under Zhu Wushi's keen sense of smell, he instinctively smelled something different.

"Huh? Shenhou thinks that the two swordsmen may have other purposes..."

Japanese swordsman Liu Sheng Dan Ma Shou's eyes were surprised.

Zhu ignored his hands and stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were deep:

"It's just a guess, and this guess can only be conceived by me. After all, no one with the royal blood of my Zhu family can escape my gaze..."

Since Hongwu Taizu Kaiyuan, in order to compete for the throne, from Emperor Yongle to Emperor Jianwen, and later on in the struggle between Emperor Xuanzong and the King of Han, there were royal relatives who fled after their defeat.

Zhu Wushi has the most powerful intelligence system in the capital, so of course he pays close attention to information about the royal family.

"Ye Gucheng turned out to be a descendant of the Xianming royal family..."

Yagyu Danma Shou was a little shocked.

Immediately, his thoughts were like lightning, and his eyes were fixed on Zhu Wushi:

"So, this time the duel on the top of the Forbidden City is very likely because he wants to..."

Zhu ignored it and sneered:

"It doesn't matter whether he wants to usurp the throne himself, or he wants to support someone from the capital's royal family related to his line to usurp the throne, but if this matter is true, it is speculated."

"Perhaps this time, the opportunity that I have been waiting for for decades is coming..."

Liu Shengdan Ma Shou couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Because he thought of Duan Tianya!

"Shenhou wants to make trouble so soon, isn't he afraid that Duan Tianya will betray you?"

Sometimes he felt that Tie Dan Shenhou was a madman.

Obviously, he deliberately wanted to seek the court and usurp the throne, but he actually instilled the idea of ​​"loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" in his adopted sons from childhood to adulthood.

When Zhu Wushi heard Liu Shengdan Mashou's words, he couldn't help turning his head suddenly, his eyes shot at Liu Shengdan Mashou like lightning, and said lightly:

"This marquis has never worried about this issue. Perhaps after this summit of the Forbidden City, this marquis will sit on the throne in an open and aboveboard manner, instead of rebelling against him."

"I understand."

Yagyu Danma Shou showed a deep smile:

"This is the saying in your middle land, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind."

If it is true, it is as Zhu ignored his guess.

Ye Gucheng, who is a descendant of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, wants to assassinate the emperor in the name of a martial arts competition this time to plot a rebellion.

Then the opportunity for Zhu to ignore came.

An aboveboard chance to ascend the throne without the notoriety of "regicide".

Because someone wants to kill the king for him.

Ye Gucheng!
