[Zhu Ning] For the sake of the country

, under the dark sky, everyone's faces are blurred. Although there is occasional wind blowing by, there is a damp and suffocating feeling. There is no noise in Nuo Da Palace, only the footsteps of a few people, and the silence is breathtaking. disturbed.

There was the sound of footsteps from another group of troops behind him. King Zheng turned his head and saw King Ning. Being eliminated, the other side will not be intact. The two sides maintain a delicate balance. Once the emperor dies, this balance will be completely broken. At that time, the victory or defeat cannot be judged at this time, so both of them are emotionally disturbed. Xian, rushed to Qianqing Palace, to the center of power.

It was getting dark, and all the important officials and ministers of the court had gathered outside the Qianqing Palace. The crown prince was standing outside the main entrance of the palace, silent for a long time. The society was in crisis, and everyone focused on the crown prince, the successor of Ming Dynasty.

King Ning took a big stride, came to the prince half a step ahead of King Zheng, and greeted the prince, "See Your Highness, Your Majesty..." The door of the Qianqing Palace was closed, and everyone was waiting outside the door. King Ning looked Sincerely, the prince calmed down his anxiety, and returned a shallow gift to the vassal kings without answering.Tonight, the sky is full of thick clouds and there are no stars. Under the shadow of the candlelight in the palace, every face casts light and dark shadows. King Ning's eyes are even brighter. His silver crown and jade satin-colored court clothes look abnormal Heroic, the old emperor is dying, and the young emperor is about to take over the great power.

The emperor is seriously ill, the prince is supposed to wait by him, never leave, why is the prince outside the sleeping hall?After thinking about it for a while, King Zheng realized that the emperor was drafting a will, and the minister of the cabinet would write it beside him. All the people mentioned in the will should be avoided to prove orthodoxy.It seems that the emperor is really going to die. Thinking of this, King Zheng understood why King Ning wanted to take the lead. It turned out that he was hinting to the prince. King Zheng glanced at King Ning who was standing upright, and secretly rejoiced that the army outside his city It has been arranged, and the capital will definitely be under his control by then.

The prince glanced at the crowd, but did not answer. Since the farewell meeting ten days ago, he has only met these princes and ministers today. His life will undergo earth-shaking changes, and how these people will treat him, he is confused Ruma didn't have the energy to distinguish between traitors and loyalists, but the firm eyes cast by King Ning gave him a little calmness that the superiors desperately needed, and regained a little rationality.

The other vassal kings were about to greet the prince one by one, when suddenly the door of the bedroom opened wide, Huang Sheng hurriedly called the prince in, everyone watched the prince enter the bedroom, the palace door was closed tightly, there was nothing more to say, they whispered to each other. He lowered his voice and couldn't hear clearly.

At this time, he trotted here in a hurry without knowing how to walk, and he stood silently outside the hall, as if he was chasing someone's figure in the hall behind the door.

King Zheng provocatively said contemptuously beside him, "How can this kind of idler deserve to stand here?"

King Ning knew that he won the trust of the emperor and the prince, but he didn't understand why he was so flustered today. The calmness he managed couldn't hide the anxiety in his eyes. It seemed that he was more sad than the prince who was about to lose his father. Zheng Wanghe didn't understand how there were many discords on weekdays, so he took the opportunity to attack at this time, King Ning didn't understand, and waited for him how to deal with it.

Don't know how to turn around and look back, already put on the usual playful and angry look, "You're so small, the emperor is critically ill now, and you still have the mood to play awe-inspiring here, are you human?"

The national funeral is imminent, and this place is the Qianqing Palace. King Ning suppressed his smile deeply, and there was no disturbance on his face. When King Zheng heard this blunt reprimand, his face changed drastically, and he ordered his personal guard Tongsou to "pull Go out and cut it off." Relying on his noble status, he didn't want to miss another glance.

Don't know how to point the index finger at the center of King Zheng's eyebrows, "Drag me out to chop, you sound like an emperor, do you want to take the opportunity to become emperor?" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think of King Zheng's usual arrogant words and deeds.

How could King Zheng swallow this breath? He was completely irritated by his incomprehension, and pointed at the other party angrily, "Say it again!"

"Do you want to take the opportunity to become the emperor?" A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and he didn't know how to speak out.

"How dare you slander me!" King Zheng yelled angrily, and there was another flash of lightning. He wanted to pull out his saber in a fit of rage, and for a moment he forgot that he had already been inspected when he entered the palace. There was no weapon in his hand, and it was impossible to kill in public I don't understand.

King Ning was watching a good show, when he suddenly saw the door of the dormitory opened again, everyone held their breaths, Huang Sheng dragged on and changed his tune, announcing the decree to let people not enter the hall.

After not knowing what to hear, he hurried into the hall, King Ning was surprised, he couldn't help but followed his back and walked a few steps, standing in the center outside the main door of the bedroom, watching the door slowly closed again, thunder rumbled from the clouds.I don’t understand, it’s just that the emperor used a pawn to fight against the conservative ministers. He came from a commoner, and his origin is unknown. He was valued by the prince only because he had some courage and intelligence different from ordinary people, and he turned to the prince to show his loyalty. A false title, now, all the important officials and relatives of the court are waiting for the order, how can only this out of place person come close to the imperial court, what is the emperor's intention, King Ning is a little uneasy, thinking quickly at the palace gate.

In the dormitory, the prince knelt in front of the couch. Facing life and death, his heart was never so fragile. He finally couldn't help crying and held his father's hand tightly. The emperor was too weak to speak. His eyes moved slightly, indicating that the head of the bed The edict, the prince picked up the bright yellow silk beside the bed, and read the entrustment left by his father. Death is so approaching, it takes away his most important relatives, and there will be no more emperor father in the world. Tears blurred his vision, the imperial doctor looked at the ashen face of the emperor, felt the pulse and said to the prince, "Your Highness, if you want to tell your majesty, please..." Is my father leaving me... The prince wiped away his tears , choked up every single word and said, "Father, my son must be a good emperor, shoulder the great Ming society, and govern the great Ming country well." The emperor heard these words, his eyes brightened, and he held the crown prince weakly. When he came, he didn't know how to enter the palace, and he knelt down in front of the bed, side by side with the prince, and also held the hand of the emperor. Each other, but fulfilled their oaths separately, the emperor accumulated the last energy, perhaps it is the unique intuition of people who are about to rush to another world, he said weakly to the prince, "Hou Zhao, you...must...govern the country well , Righteous Way, Principles, Human Relations... Don't... be partial, Da Ming... Da Ming..."

In the 18th year of Hongzhi, the emperor left the world he was deeply attached to with great expectations for the prince, unlimited expectations for Ming Dynasty, and countless unspeakable words for the world. He was born with conspiracy and tragedy, but he used his own The true love brought the country out of the dark trough. The country he governed is becoming more and more prosperous, and the people live in peace and prosperity. Watching her father stop breathing, there is no more fatherly love in the world...

A shocking flash of lightning and thunder struck together, and the Qianqing Palace was instantly covered in silver, and heart-piercing shouts erupted in the palace, which mixed with the rolling thunder, which shocked everyone. , King Ning instinctively turned around outside the hall and stared at the main hall. All the officials of the vassal dynasty also felt the great changes in the world, and they all looked at the closed palace door.

In the palace, the prince and Bu Bu did not leave, silently watching a group of servants perform the funeral ceremony, the pain was so painful that it could not be expressed in words, and even the actions were completely lost.

Huang Sheng opened the gate of the main hall of Qianqing Palace, and there was a torrential rain in front of him. The wind carried countless water droplets and hit his face, and the ground at the main gate was instantly wet. Everyone in the court looked at Huang Sheng in unison, and then quickly gathered together Outside the hall, Huang Sheng cried out in grief, "The emperor has passed away..."

There was no sound for a while, amidst the sound of the rain, everyone stood silently, and then, headed by King Zheng and King Ning, everyone knelt down on their knees and bowed to the Qianqing Palace.King Ning's sight was disturbed by the heavy rain. Out of the corner of his eye, he vaguely caught a glimpse of someone bowing his head and saying something beside King Zheng. The sound of the heavy rain could not hear the content clearly. King Zheng was in serious trouble, but the emperor passed away and the power was handed over. Is the military power... King Zheng moved, and just about to get up, Li Qingzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, temporarily relieved his pain, and appeared in front of everyone holding the will, "My lords, the emperor's will is here." Wang, his intention is self-evident. Li Qingzheng's eyes were fixed on King Zheng who had already changed. At the critical moment, King Zheng decided to wait and see what happened, and knelt down in front of the steps again.

Li Qingzheng glanced at the crowd, and unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, "Following the heavens to carry the emperor, the imperial edict says, I have been in the throne for many years and the peace and prosperity of the country and the people are all thanks to the achievements of the vassal kings. I will now reward each king with ten thousand taels of gold."

Everyone has already been drenched by the rain, but the world has changed dramatically, and they have no intention of using it for other purposes. They listened to the edict with great concentration. King Ning thought of the promise made by the emperor and the trust of the prince, and he was full of ambition. Although he knelt for a long time, even his knees hurt Ignore it, and even ignore Zheng Wang's anxiety.

Li Qingzheng's voice was loud and loud, "I pass on the throne to the crown prince, and all the kings and ministers must do their best. If there is a mutation, the other kings must be loyal and fight with all their strength!" Everyone in the rain was silent, "We must do everything in the future. Discuss rewards for meritorious deeds, feudal rewards for mutants, and rebellion against kings," King Gu raised his eyes to see King Zheng's back, and then he and King Liao looked at each other. expression.

"In order to protect the safety and security of the people and the peace and order at home, I have handed over the military power of the world to the ignorant, and shouldered the responsibility of protecting the safety of the world."

"!" King Ning has always been calm. Hearing this sentence, his expression suddenly changed. He instinctively opened his mouth and whispered but was forced into his mouth by the rain. However, his vision was hazy in the rain, and he was at the front of the crowd. No one noticed his gaffe, not just King Ning. , King Zheng and the other feudal lords were also shocked, how important is military power in the world, how can such an arrangement be made!King Zheng has always been tyrannical, so he stood up straight away and shouted at Li Qingzheng, "Is the late emperor sick and stupid, and actually handed over the military power of the world to a small handyman?!" King Ning agreed with King Zheng's words for the first time in his life, He took two breaths and was forced to swallow rainwater to calm himself down.

Li Qingzheng seemed to have expected it a long time ago, he raised his voice, "King Zheng, the late king's edict, are you going to resist the edict?" At the same time, this sentence was also a warning to the other kings.

"You..." King Zheng was at a loss for words and stood still. Everyone was looking at him, even King Ning turned his head sideways. There is another point that King Zheng is not an incompetent person. He was impulsive just now. Now that he was awakened by Li Qingzheng, he immediately understood the complicated situation. As long as he holds the army, the situation is under his control. After the last emperor's death order, he knelt down again and continued to listen to the last edict.

The edict was over, and Li Qingzheng slowly dragged out his tone, "I would like to abide by it and never disobey it, hereby." The crown prince was walking out of the inner hall, and seeing the officials bowing their heads, he stopped in the hall and stared blankly at all of this. The king was behind, and all the ministers of the court knelt in the rain. Everyone's clothes were soaked, and they looked very embarrassed and in a perfect scene. Countless dense raindrops passed across the smooth and smooth face of King Ning, and merged into water droplets along his chin. After falling, a few more streams flowed into the neck, the prince stared at King Ning, and suddenly realized that it is not appropriate to be immersed in grief at this moment, the first thing is to win over all the trusted forces in the court and consolidate the new emperor's position.

The first emperor's layout was extremely ingenious, anyone's strange moves were restrained by his strange moves, everyone had their own thoughts, and they all planned for themselves to take advantage of the situation to suppress dissidents.

Seemingly satisfied with the situation but also dissatisfied with everyone's silence, Li Qingzheng repeated, "This is it!" In the extraordinary period, let's see who will rise up in waves, and who will retreat bravely.

King Ning felt that the clothes all over his body had become sticky and heavy, and the hair on his forehead was dripping. He looked at Li Qingzheng through the rain curtain, and also at the bright yellow edict in his hand. He said loudly, "I would like to abide by the legacy!"

Everyone was enlightened, and they all came to their senses. They followed King Ning to show their loyalty, "I will obey the last instruction." King Zheng didn't say anything, but just bowed his hands slightly. He glanced at King Ning beside him, and cast a hostile look. After King Zheng's hostility, he returned an unrestrained smile, and then he saw the prince who had put on a white linen shirt walk out of the palace and into the rain, as if longing for the heavy rain to wash away all the sorrow, the prince walked slowly in the rain. He knelt down and kowtowed to the late emperor's bedroom. He wanted to keep watch for his father, but the lightning and thunder still continued, and the heaven and the earth were crying today.

King Ning returned to the palace from the palace. After taking a bath, he changed into clean and comfortable clothes. Tea and pastries have been set up in the study. King Ning is good at tasting tea. The tea leaves, tea, and tea cups are all exquisite. A few mouthfuls of Jiangnan Biluochun.His subordinates, generals and aides waited to be summoned, but he refused them all. At this moment, he set up a chess game that has not been solved in the chess record, and he lowered his brows and pondered beside the lights and candles. Your Majesty, no, it’s the first emperor. The game of chess is really good... I was plotted by you and I didn't break the game. I don't understand, I don't understand... A monk from the Golden Pavilion Temple actually became a powerful minister of the court. King Ning finally realized that he didn't understand. Knowing is the most outstanding chess piece of the first emperor, it has always been there, but no one notices it, including not knowing himself, no matter what, what the first emperor can buy is time, so that the crown prince can smoothly ascend the throne, power can be changed smoothly, military power, government affairs, etc. How can the power be easily controlled by the edict? The night was turning bright, and it was early morning. King Ning had to report to King Zheng and others. Sure enough, they stood still overnight as expected, and there was no abnormality. He looked out of the window with a chuckle. Before dawn, The heavy rain finally stopped, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard exuded the unique fresh smell after the rain. They were carried by the breeze and blown into the inner room. King Ning ordered someone to change his clothes.

The emperor passed away, the country lost its color, the capital lost all its prosperity overnight, and the palace was full of plain onyx and white flags, mourning and weeping.

Under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Houzhao completed the national funeral matters. At this moment, the coffin of the late emperor was placed in Fengtian Hall to be worshiped by all officials.It was noon, and after another strict etiquette, the officials dispersed for a while to rest. King Ning stayed alone and walked to the coffin with light steps. Zhu Houzhao knelt on the futon and looked at the ranking list blankly, " Your Highness, "The crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, and King Ning will not change his title, "Your Highness, please take care of your health," King Ning leaned over to look at Zhu Houzhao's haggard face, and cared in a low voice.

In his grief, Zhu Houzhao saw that King Ning was wearing plain white hemp rope and a thin waist. During the national funeral, he did not wear a hair crown, only a bun, with a few strands of hair scattered on his shoulders and chest. Everyone wore the same clothes, but he wore plain clothes. It can't hide the peerless elegance. If you want to be pretty and filial, this full-body filial piety is even more touching. Zhu Houzhao finally had a bright color in his eyes. He regained his consciousness, just as amazing as seeing the figure of the emperor in the rain last night. Only King Ning Only by being beside him can he get out of his grief and plan for his own and Daming's future.

Zhu Houzhao kept his eyes on King Ning, "Uncle Emperor..." His voice was hoarse when he spoke.

King Ning saw his reddened eyes, thinking that he was about to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and was speaking comforting words for a while. Zhu Houzhao had already stood up, but he had stayed up all night kneeling for a long time before dropping any rice. He was unsteady and staggered. King Ning quickly Supporting him, Zhu Houzhao leaned on King Ning's shoulder, smelling the long-lost smell, like overflowing from the hair, or coming from the neck, he closed his eyes and was greedy for this fascinating smell.King Ning thought it was because he was weak, and helped him slowly walk to the side hall to rest.Before Zhu Houzhao was satisfied with this tenderness, King Ning had already helped him onto the couch. When he opened his eyes, he saw King Ning's eyes staring at him. , Only the corners of King Ning's eyes were filled with light, "Your Highness, please take a rest, and I ordered the imperial dining room to prepare lunch for Your Highness."

Zhu Hou looked at King Ning's face and nodded.

At an extraordinary time, the lunch was light, with only a few stacks of green and white vegetable dishes. Zhu Houzhao rubbed his sore eyes, and walked to the round table, "Uncle Emperor, come and eat with me." King Ning, who hadn't eaten since entering the palace in the early morning, , agreed to his request, "I saw that your highness is a little weak, so I brought this to your highness." Ning Wang said and recruited his servants, and presented Zhu Houzhao with a small exquisite white porcelain cup, the porcelain cup and the tea cup It is generally large, and the fired ones are crystal clear and moist. At first glance, they are the best in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi. Zhu Hou took care of the porcelain, and then looked at King Ning, "Uncle Huang, what is this?"

"Your Highness, open it and have a look." King Ning invited.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to open it when he heard the words, and saw that the small cup was filled with golden sweet syrup, like agar jade dew, and a sweet and greasy fragrance rushed to the face, which made people feel instantly comfortable.

King Ning said, "This is the sweet-scented osmanthus flower from Meilong Town last year. According to Jiangnan's practice, sugar bees were added to make this sweet-scented osmanthus brew. It tastes sweet and fragrant. Your Highness has worked hard recently, and it just happens to increase your appetite." And this The fragrance of osmanthus has the effect of forgetting worries and refreshing the mind. Smell it more when eating, so as to prevent the nephew from being too sad and neglecting political affairs.

Zhu Houzhao picked up a little bit with his chopsticks and tasted it, and it was really sweet and fragrant. When he dipped the bland vegetarian dishes with the porridge, there was this sweet taste on his lips and teeth.Zhu Houzhao finished his bowl of health-preserving porridge, and smiled at King Ning with his cheeks on his hands. After the death of the former emperor, with King Ning by his side, he finally regained his reason from his grief.

King Ning was chewing a mouthful of dishes. He saw the new emperor watching him. King Ning strengthened his confidence in seizing military power from Zhu Houzhao's trusting face. After a night of rain, the old wound on his chest was aching today. King Ning coughed lightly again. Before Zhu Houzhao could speak, he asked, "Your Highness, how is the wound on your arm recovering?"

Zhu Houzhao touched his right arm, "It's healed."

"This injury was caused by the retrograde assassination of King Chen of Yu. Your Highness must not take any more risks..." King Ning used the excuse of the injury to point out that Zhu Houzhao was also troubled by King Zheng.

"I've written down what the emperor said. My father passed away, and I was heartbroken. However, there are still King Zheng and others waiting outside the city, so I ask the emperor to help me." Zhu Houzhao said to his father, his eyes were red again. , these words are very pertinent.

"Your Highness trusts me, and I am ashamed of accepting it," King Ning said bluntly after being polite, "The four kings have mischievous intentions. They originally planned to rebel after the death of the first emperor. The last emperor wisely issued a will. At this time, the four kings, especially King Zheng, intend to If you raise troops, you will definitely take into account the movements of the other kings. The first emperor’s decree, those who raised troops and mutated, all the kings will attack together, and divide the rebels equally. Seize the power of the world with one person, so at this time their strategy is to stand still. Rest assured, your Highness, whoever changes the situation first will lose. Your Highness will only wait for the successful enthronement after the funeral. Whoever dares to resist the edict, His Highness will no longer have any worries. Moreover, the army of the vassals has already rushed to the capital by His Highness's order, and they can also be driven by His Highness at that time, and the four kings' troops are not to be feared." King Ning has already made up his mind, Don't understand is an anomaly, and we must not let it go. It is expected that Zhu Houzhao would not be reconciled to the military power in Don't know, so he took advantage of the threat of the four kings at this time to imply that he would take back the military power.

Zhu Houzhao's worries were largely resolved by King Ning's words. He relaxed his tense emotions, and held King Ning's wrist with one hand, "It's my great fortune to have the help of the emperor."

King Ning didn't like physical contact with people, and this action evoked his forbidden past. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, and withdrew his hand from Zhu Houzhao's.

Zhu Houzhao was dissatisfied with this evasive action. He held King Ning's wrist even tighter, but his face was still as sincere as before. King Ning's eyes glanced at the fierce determination, and he quickly regained his composure. I can feel the gold buckle on King Ning's wrist, although it is luxurious and eye-catching, it is hard in texture, just like its master.

"Uncle, I promise you, I will definitely..." Zhu Houzhao said with sincerity, but was interrupted by a sudden person, who didn't understand that people came before they arrived, "Your Highness, Your Highness, King Zheng's soldiers..." When he saw that there were still people in the side hall, it was actually King Ning, so he stopped talking for a moment, and King Ning was using an excuse to get away, "Your Highness, the Tai Tuo has something to do, so he will leave."

King Ning came out of the side hall, just as he caught sight of King Zheng and others attending the national funeral. The vassal king knelt down in front of the coffin, and King Zheng gritted his teeth at King Ning in a low voice, "King Ning, you and I have always lived in peace. This king has written down the matter, and I will never let you go in the future." King Zheng's troops rushed to King Qin from the domain, and were directly ambushed by King Ning's team outside the capital, and seized a large amount of supplies and food, " Your army has come from Jiangxi and has not yet arrived, why did you do this?" Zheng Wang's eyes were fierce, and Ning Wang looked back sideways, looking at Zheng Wang at the right rear, his fat face looked more pickle-like all over his filial piety, and there was nothing at once Good tone, "If there is any change in the edict of the former emperor, you can attack at any time. Why did you do this? King Zheng, you can ask the prince. This king is under orders." What reason do you need for King Ning's blatant robbery? excuse.King Zheng looked at King Ning with provocative and contemptuous eyes. He was worried that he was in the palace, and swallowed his anger fiercely. He understood the meaning of King Ning's eyes. King Yu and King Chen must have King Zheng's help in harming King Chen. This king is just for you A little warning in return.

Twenty days later, the funeral will be closed, and tomorrow will be the enthronement ceremony. According to the etiquette system, the new emperor will go to the Temple of Heaven after sunrise today to offer sacrifices to heaven. After the ordinance, the royal chariots and horses returned to the palace in a mighty manner.

King Ning was in the carriage, rubbing his knees. The former emperor passed away recently, and the power in the court changed. In addition to exhausting his mind, this etiquette system kneels too much. Today, he kneels three times and kowtows nine times. He still has to wait for the Ministry of Rites to finish the long During the sacrificial ceremony, several older ministers almost fainted on the spot. The new emperor was sympathetic and directly allowed them to take leave and return home to rest.King Ning was about to close his eyes and rest in the carriage when he was stopped by Huang Sheng outside the carriage, "Your Highness, please come over."

At this moment, the brigade of people and horses covered the sun with flags and banners, led by the Xinhuang carriage, and many important officials behind them, marched towards the palace, the streets had already been cleared, and the surroundings were either Jinyi Guards or the courtiers' carriages. The crowd watched, King Ning could not refuse, and guessed Without knowing what Zhu Houzhao's intentions were, he lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, followed Huang Sheng for a few steps, and came to the most gorgeous carriage.

Zhu Houzhao was waiting for King Ning through the curtain, and when he saw King Ning appear, he quickly invited, "Uncle Emperor, please get in the car." King Ning looked at the heavily guarded formation around him and got into the car.

As soon as King Ning sat down, the carriage continued to move forward.

The interior of the imperial car is very spacious and luxurious, decorated with bright yellow brocade with dragon patterns, and Zhu Houzhao’s seat is placed in front of an exquisite low table, "Uncle Emperor, this is a lychee tribute from Lingnan. It is very sweet. It just arrived in the capital today. That's all, Uncle Huang, hurry up and taste it." King Ning saw several rolls of memorials next to the incense burner curling up on the low table, and the gold plate beside the memorials was filled with lychees, bright red.Zhu Houzhao has discovered since traveling with King Ning in the south of the Yangtze River that the emperor's uncle is extremely particular about food. With such a rare sweet and delicious taste, he can't treat his uncle who has been assisting him in recent years.

King Ning put on a just right smile, "Thank you, Your Highness." Then he peeled off one very face-saving, and it was really sweet and rare, and Zhu Houzhao watched King Ning peel off the second one the whole time, without doing anything else.King Ning's senses were keen, he raised his eyes to look at the man in brocade clothes, "What else is there for, Your Highness?" There is no need to be so cautious to have a private interview after eating a few fruits.

"Uncle Emperor, this is the military report from the front. Prince Hasa of Wala attacked us in Shanxi." Zhu Houzhao handed several volumes of memorials to King Ning.King Ning said, "Who should it be? Sure enough, it is this militaristic sixth prince. His Highness is about to ascend the throne. He is harassing the border at this time, and he is deliberately provoking me, Daming!"

Zhu Houzhao found that when King Ning talked about state affairs, he was self-confident and magnanimous, like a commander planning a strategy, and a general pointed out the country. He couldn't take his eyes off, and continued to listen to King Ning's words, "Why don't your highness hand over this matter to the Ministry of War and the Taifu." However, King Ning changed his mind and said, "If you don't know that there is the last emperor's last order to control the military power in the world, you just need to find him."

Zhu Houzhao was dumb for a while, "Well... the emperor knows that the Taifu has never led an army, let alone has any experience in fighting Oara. This is a small provocation, and the Ministry of War will only calm down. Oirat is a big problem for me in Ming Dynasty. If it is not cured for a day, it is difficult to sleep and eat. Only the emperor knows Oara best and is willing to offer advice and suggestions for me, so I will definitely listen to what the emperor has to say."

Although King Ning can distinguish people's hearts, he still likes to listen to beautiful words. He felt Zhu Houzhao's sincerity. How could the country surnamed Zhu allow others to covet it at will, and he was full of pride for a while.

"Tatar? Tatar and Oirat are both Mongolian tribes, will they help Ming to attack Oirat?" Zhu Hou looked at King Ning's lips that kept opening and closing. If he was not talking about important state affairs, he would have been distracted.

"Although Tatar and Oala are both tribes of Mongolia, they have had a long-standing grievance. Oira harassed me, Daming, and Tatar did business with me. This time Oara is just an excuse that His Royal Highness will ascend the throne, expressing the anger of the previous defeat. My Daming directly sent The commercial mission agreed to trade with the Tatars on the border of Shanxi. On the grounds that the government bought huge sums of money, they asked the leaders of the Tatars to meet. The Tatars will definitely come when they see huge profits. The soldiers of the Tartars, and the Tatars will not sit back and watch the Oirats harass the border and hinder them from making huge profits, then the troubles in Shanxi will naturally be solved."

"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but clapped his hands in admiration, stood up excitedly, and was hit on the head by the roof of the carriage before sitting down with an ahh.King Ning was also proud of his own strategy. Seeing Zhu Houzhao's hair crown crooked and rubbing his forehead, he couldn't help laughing.Zhu Houzhao can no longer be distracted by state affairs. When he ascends the throne tomorrow, everything in the world is his own, including of course... King Ning's smile is the shining star in the dark night, and the most uncontrollable sinking in the world. The smiling face has only one thought - possession, as the emperor, don't you deserve it.

"Uncle Emperor..." Zhu Houzhao called softly. King Ning thought that he would praise him again, but he didn't expect that King Ning just met his gaze, and then he was thrown down in the carriage by a strong hug.

Looking at King Ning's surprised face, Zhu Houzhao tightened his arms a little proudly, and circled King Ning even tighter. He imitated King Ning's staring eyes, and said to the person below him, "Uncle, You are so kind, I can't leave you anymore..."

King Ning's shocked expression added disbelief. He struggled and couldn't get away. Just as he was about to warn Zhu Houzhao, all words were blocked. His eyes were full of Zhu Houzhao's magnified face, forehead hair, and those radiant eyes. At this moment, the eyes are full of lustful emotions, even the unintentional King Ning can understand that it is a man's possessive desire.

The person under him still had the sweet taste of lychee in his mouth, Zhu Houzhao greedily tasted and snatched this taste that belonged to King Ning mixed with forbidden pleasure.

King Ning was very skilled. After he was caught off guard by a surprise attack, he exerted force all over his body to drive Zhu Houzhao off his body. Then he sat up and wiped his lips with the back of his hand in embarrassment. His bright lips suddenly lost their luster. Looking at Zhu Houzhao with anger on his face, if it wasn't for the fact that there were people and horses outside the car, he would have flexed his muscles a long time ago.

Zhu Houzhao licked his lips, looked at King Ning's ruthless expression, and saw for no reason that he was a little helpless at being molested, which caused his evil thoughts to increase instead of diminish, "Uncle Emperor, the Tatars have a very good strategy to contain Wala, we After returning to the palace, come directly to discuss the candidates for envoys, and send them to the front line immediately."

Ning Wangqiang took a few breaths to calm down his anger, "Your Highness is wise and wise, it is no problem to choose the candidate." He looked at Zhu Houzhao's smug expression, maybe there is some soothing powder in the aromatherapy, but he can do it without any hindrance There was nothing unusual. King Ning didn't want to stay for a moment longer, and wanted to lift the curtain to leave. Zhu Houzhao sat in the car. Seeing that King Ning was about to leave, he grabbed him with one hand and pulled the hook of King Ning's belt in a hurry. A fine attire loosened from his waist, and King Ning was stumbled helplessly. He frowned and turned his head before he could open his mouth. Zhu Houzhao slammed him into his arms and knocked him down. His back fell heavily on the floor of the carriage, and he was hugged again. Full of arms, Zhu Houzhao suppressed him with the weight of his whole body. The faces of the two were very close, and all the breath of each other was inhaled by the other.King Ning finally realized today that Zhu Houzhao didn't trust and rely on him, but was playing with him. His eyes were stained with anger, "Your Highness, respect yourself!"

"Uncle Huang..." Zhu Houzhao wished he could hold his cheeks, but to seal King Ning's actions, he could only hold his wrist tightly with both hands, "Uncle Huang, don't leave me, he will always help me, right?"

King Ning sneered and was noncommittal, ignoring him sideways.

Zhu Houzhao seemed to be irritated. He lowered his head and happened to see King Ning's unraveled coat, the loose inner single placket, and the perfect curve formed by the collarbone of his neck, which undulated regularly due to his breathing. He bit the crook of his neck, To vent his long-standing desire, King Ning let out a muffled snort. This slight sound ignited Zhu Houzhao's last bit of restraint and reason, and he pried open King Ning's light-colored and soft lips again.

After Zhu Houzhao was satisfied and felt short of breath, he completely released the restraint. King Ning's palm had already struck, and Zhu Houzhao did not dodge. He calmly faced the attack. King Ning saw the dragon pattern on his clothes, and he will soon Ascending to the throne, he is the most honorable person in the world. His rationality made him stop his offensive before hurting Zhu Houzhao, and he clenched his fists and slammed on the floor.

Zhu Houzhao just thought of King Ning and couldn't bear it. He sat up slowly, trying to help King Ning to sit upright, but was pushed away by King Ning, "Uncle Emperor, I..."

"You're crazy, once is enough, what else do you want this time? Hmph, I advise Your Highness not to deceive others too much." King Ning straightened his clothes and picked up the belt hook. After tying the knot behind him, King Ning couldn't put his robe neatly on his backhand. He was embarrassed and inconvenient to get out of the carriage. He was angry and hated Zhu Houzhao. , the sound of the wheels also disappeared, and the palace attendant knelt down outside the car, "Your Highness, the East Palace has arrived."

It turned out that when the two were alone, the chariot had already entered the palace, and King Ning didn't want to enter the palace. He hastily approved his robe and got out of the chariot, "Uncle Emperor, our envoys have not yet been decided..." Zhu Houzhao followed him Get out of the car and chase after him, "Uncle Emperor..." No matter how he expresses, King Ning is unwilling to stop and look back.Unwilling, Zhu Houzhao rushed to King Ning and stopped him forcibly, "Uncle Emperor, I will not let you go today." King Ning smiled angrily, with a mocking expression on his face, "What does Your Highness want? "

Uncle, can’t we be like we were in Jiangnan? Zhu Houzhao said silently. At the gate of the East Palace, there are Jinyiwei, internal servants, and palace ladies. Do you want to refuse?"

King Ning was keenly aware of Zhu Houzhao's words, and Zhu Hou illuminated King Ning's surprise, "Since today we have made sacrifices to the world, to our ancestors, and tomorrow's grand ceremony is coming, I will be the son of heaven, and the emperor will not resist the decree Go." Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice.

King Ning wanted to tell but was at a loss for words, he gritted his teeth secretly, looked up with lowered eyebrows, "I dare not..." King Ning would not openly disobey under the watchful eyes of the inner palace guards.

"Please, Uncle Emperor, we still have state affairs to discuss." Zhu Houzhao walked around behind him as he said, the figure in his eyes was tall and straight at all times, he bent down, and it turned out that he had been holding King Ning's loose belt in his hand, Put the belt on for King Ning, wrap it around his thin waist, and fasten the two ends with hooks carefully. Zhu Houzhao walked back to King Ning in satisfaction, and helped him rearrange the skirt of his outer robe.
