Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Chapter 427 This Chess Game Is Coming to an End

Southwest of Gyeonggi, Fangshan County.The night rain brought with it the chilly spring, soaking this small town at the foot of the mountain in dampness and cold.

Although it is only sixty or seventy miles away from the capital, Fangshan looks desolate and barren. Compared with Beijing counties like Wanping and Daxing, it is very inconspicuous, and because tigers come down the mountain late at night to feed people, now every house is closed, and it is silent at night. .

A series of galloping horseshoes smashed through the silent streets and stopped outside the gate of the county government office. The "gatekeeper" got off his horse, knocked nine times, and the door creaked open.After he ducked in, the door closed again.

The front half of the county government office is the official office, and the second half is the courtyard where the magistrate and his family live.At this time, the magistrate of Fangshan was embracing the lost and recovered young son, kowtowing to the statue of Maitreya in the Buddhist hall with a frenzied face, and kept muttering: "Eternal calamity is indestructible, all dharmas are vacuum..."

The "gatekeeper" entered the flower hall in the backyard, and saluted a young man in brocade clothes who was pacing up and down in the hall: "His Royal Highness."

The young man in brocade clothes raised his face. It was Su Xiaojing, a former servant of the Su family, who now had his real name restored and was adopted by his uncle Ning Wang as his adopted son Zhu Xian.

"How?" Zhu Xian asked anxiously.

"It's all cleared up. Emperor Qinghe left Beijing privately, and took a cavalry guard with him. Now the head of the cabinet, Yang Ting, has kept this news from the court and closed the nine gates of the capital, curfew and martial law."

"Sure enough, as Mr. He said, the outer door is so strict to cover up the emptiness of the court. This is a great opportunity, Mr. He hasn't come back yet?"

The gatekeeper shook his head: "My subordinates only know that the leader left for Shanxi after receiving a letter from Fei Xiangzhu from Wei Xiangzhu a few days ago. I don't know if he has returned."

Zhu Xian habitually bit his fingertips: "At the critical moment, Mr. He is not here, is this telling me to make up my own mind?" After pondering for a while, the hesitation between his brows suddenly faded away, revealing a sharp and ruthless look, "It's up to me, the real dragon emperor, to decide!"

He waved his hand to let the gatekeeper back, and then led Madam Fan and a group of guards outside the door through the corridor to the east wing.

The maid was coming out of the side room with the finished medicine bowl, and when she saw Zhu Xian, she immediately bowed her knees and saluted: "All blessings, my son." Seeing that Zhu Xian was going to open the door to enter, she hurriedly said, "My son, His Royal Highness King Ning needs to rest after taking the medicine. , why don't you come back tomorrow?"

Zhu Xian slapped her on the face with his backhand: "Baby maid, even you want to order me?"

The medicine bowl fell to the ground, and the maid covered her face and knelt down crying, begging for mercy repeatedly.

"Get out!" Zhu Xian shouted sharply.

Too many figures were swaying in front of his eyes - Su Xiaojing cleaning the courtyard; Su Xiaojing blowing a fire stick; Behind his master, Su Xiaojing, who could never keep up with the other's pace... An unknown fire burned in his heart, and his eye sockets were blurred by the sudden seepage of moisture.

I'm not a servant of the Su Mansion, and I'm not even the son of that needleworker who was sold around and didn't even have a name!

When I was a child, there was no meal, I ate and slept in the same room as the chicken, and I did chores and served people every day when I was a teenager-I will never, never live a life like this again!

He roared silently at himself who was once in a state of embarrassment, at all those who had despised, insulted, and sympathized with him, and at the entire Daming world: I am the eldest son and only grandson of Emperor Xianzu, and the most noble blood of the Daming dynasty flows in my body. blood!

Back in the afternoon when he was picked five years ago, he finally dared to raise his eyes to look directly at the immortal man in the blue robe of bamboo leaves. "What's your name?" When the other party asked this sentence, he puffed up his thin chest and said in a loud voice, "My name is Zhu Xian!"

Su Yan, remember, my name is Zhu Xian.

Zhu Xian took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked into the bedroom with strong smell of medicine.

King Ning had to go to bed in time after using up the medicine every night, and the maid had helped him change into pajamas and undo his bun before leaving.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he half lifted himself from the pillow and asked softly, "Xian'er, is that you?"

Zhu Xian lifted the curtain of the bed, sat sideways on the edge of the bed, stared at his sick and weak uncle, feeling a little complicated.

King Ning smiled bitterly: "Have you come to see if I'm dead?"

Zhu Xiandao: "Uncle, why did you say that? My filial piety to uncle can be shown every day, just like to my father and king."

"Don't say you have filial piety to me, even if it's just a little respect, you won't ignore my illness and force me into the capital." Ning Wang said a long sentence, a little panting, and covered it with the handkerchief He shut his mouth, "I think I adopted you for my brother's sake, and I wrote to the imperial court to ask you to be crowned heir. No matter whether the imperial court agrees or not, at least I have done my best. Now I just want to spend the rest of my remaining life in peace. Is this not going to be done?"

Zhu Xian raised his hand and gently wiped away the sweat on his forehead with his cuff, but the words he said were completely opposite to his warm gestures: "I want to take revenge and get back everything that should belong to me, but my uncle only wants to be alone. How can I do it? The other vassal kings responded to my appeal, secretly recruited troops and bought horses, and marched into the capital from all directions. Uncle, you are good. A letter has completely written yourself off, saying that you don’t know and don’t support it, and you want the court to forgive you. 'A mistake of oversight'. Uncle, uncle, if you didn't want to control me, why did you take me in? Why did you give me the hope of rehabilitating my father?"

King Ning grabbed Zhu Xian's wrist, suppressed the itch in his chest, panted and said, "What do you want to do, now this king can't control it. If you succeed, I don't care about it; if you don't, how can you bear it?" Involving hundreds of people from Prince Ning's mansion to be buried together? Let me go back, I won't hinder you, and I can't help you either."

Zhu Xian shook his head and smiled: "Uncle is too self-effacing. Among the princes, you have the worst physical health, but the best reputation. At the age of 16, you have the reputation of a 'virtuous king' among the people. If you talk about the hearts of the people, King Wei , Gu Wang and the others combined are not as good as you. Uncle, you will not be alive soon anyway, so just lend me your reputation as a gentleman!"

King Ning put down the veil in shock, his lips were as pale as paper, which made the little mole under his eyes bright red.He said in a trembling voice, "Xian'er, you—"

"Uncle, don't worry, after entering the palace, I will let the imperial physician heal you, and let you live as long as possible." Zhu Xian patted his arm comfortingly, "I have received your seal a long time ago, and the key to the palace treasury is also available." In my hands. In the name of King Ning, I also secretly recruited a lot of people from the Jianghu, plus the power of the Vacuum Sect, the Seven Killing Battalion, and some of the soldiers and horses that collapsed after the death of Madman Liao. 5 people are barely enough."

King Ning shook his head, with disapproval in Wen Run's eyes: "It's not enough. Even if the three major battalions of the Beijing Army are sent out to suppress the bandits, and there are nearly 20 people guarded by the emperor, the capital is impenetrable, you should stop in time !"

Zhu Xiandao: "Zhu Helin left the capital in a low-clothes, and took away a pro-military army. Except for the chief assistant Yang Ting, the other officials were still kept in the dark. Where did the 'solid soup' come from? It should be called 'Qunlong has no leader'. Besides, I In your name, I called other feudal lords to come to 'King Qin' together. Even if I can't count on the fighting power of the feudal lords who have their own ghosts, at least I still hold the biggest back card, which can empty out the entire capital's troops. "

King Ning looked at him like a stranger: "If you had such ability, you would have rebelled a long time ago. Why come to join me. Tell me, who is guiding you behind the scenes, Mr. He, the leader of vacuum?"

Zhu Xian laughed: "More than that, besides Mr. He, there is also a big man who hides deeper. The other party calls himself 'Yi Zhe'. I reached a deal with them."

King Ning asked: "Who is this chess player, and what deal did you make with them?"

Zhu Xiandao: "This has nothing to do with my uncle. After all, no amount of inside information can be brought into the tomb, right? Uncle just needs to listen to his nephew, and he can live comfortably for a few more days."

He patted the quilt, got up and said: "The capital is in the spring and the sand is heavy, and the northwest wind is about to blow. In the past, when I was begging for life with my mother, I had to repair the roof at this time to prevent the thatch from being blown away. I hated it at that time." It's windy... Now, it's my turn to blow this strong wind, so that I can overturn Zhu Helin's golden glazed roof."

After confirming that Prince Yu's son had indeed been taken as a hostage, and that King Yu had to be coerced by Vacuum Sect for the life of his only son, he hid himself in the fief and did not dare to move easily. new town.

The prototype of the new Yunnei City had been built, and Altan received him very politely while inspecting the city wall.

"Master Yizhe said that the time has come, and now is a great opportunity for the Holy Khan to send troops." Mr. Crane endured his obsession with cleanliness and walked with Altan on the muddy road after the rain.

Altan looked absent-minded, still chewing dry beef sticks in his mouth: "It's okay to send troops, but I have to consider the marching route. If I enter Taiyuan like Hu Guyan, I have to break through the three inner barriers when I turn east. If I go from here Let's enter Datong, we have to attack Li Ziyang's line of defense, and nearby Huairen County is squatting Zhu Xujing, who knows if he will suddenly explode."

Mr. He knew that he was bargaining, so he said according to the plan discussed with the players: "Go to Prince City, directly break into Xuanfu, all the way to the southeast is the capital, this is the shortest route. Xuanfu Longmenwei, Yanqingwei The cavalry was conscripted by Zhu Helin to Beizhili to attack the rebel army of five kings and six kings, and the border defenses were weakened, so the Holy Khan could just take advantage of the situation."

"Juyongguan is not easy to fight, and we need to provide more military supplies." Altan said.

This bamboo stick made Mr. He grit his teeth secretly: "The large-scale delivery of armaments, the target is too obvious, and it will attract suspicion from the court. How about this, I will use the last secret buried in the Ministry of War to mobilize some of the Great Wall defenders at critical moments. Help Sheng Khan enter the customs as soon as possible."

Altan smiled lazily, patted the shredded beef on his hands, and slapped Mr. He on the shoulder: "That's the deal!"

There is an oily handprint on the snow-white gown, and Mr. He, who has improved his qi cultivation skills, maintains his self-cultivation and smile: "Then I wish the Heavenly Sage Khan great success. The day when the Beimo army besieges the capital, you will be a chess player." This game of Reversi is over, when the Great Ming changes dynasty."
