Chapter 1278 Castrated Dorgon(1/2)
Liu Rushi was startled by Zhu Xu's eyes, but he still reluctantly looked at Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu suddenly laughed and said, "Chen Rujiao was a little injured and was locked up now. You can go and have a look. Since you are here, just stay there. You and I are old acquaintances. Have nothing to do to chat."
Liu Rushi didn't know whether he heard Chen Rujiao alive or Zhu Xu let her stay, but suddenly a big rock fell to the ground in his heart. He stood up and said restrainedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Xu stood up and said to the outside: "Come here, Miss Liu is my distinguished guest, don't neglect it."
Cao Huachun walked in and said, "Yes, Miss Liu, please."
Liu Rushi bowed again, looked at Zhu Xu quietly, and quietly retreated.
Zhu Xu felt relieved when Zhu Zonghan's incident, and felt much more relaxed. He moved his body and walked outside.
As soon as I arrived at the intermediate court, I heard Xiao Shuxian's laughter.
"High point, high point, high point..."
The little girl held the thread in her hand and shouted at Su Yinyin beside her.
Xiao Ciye and Xiao Cixuan each had one in their hands, and were pulling it hard. Looking at the kite in the sky, their faces were red and they looked very excited.
Zhu Xu held on to the point, looked at the children, and felt particularly happy, saying, "When I see them, I think of my childhood. Tsk, it seems that I have never flew a kite..."
Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu as soon as Cao Wenzhao, but he really didn't remember that Zhu Xu had flew a kite. He glanced at the princess, and his high men smiled and agreed, "The Emperor is the Holy Lord of Heaven, so he is naturally extraordinary."
Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back and felt a little cold wind, saying, "This place is indeed two more than the capital. Is there a river here? Find some time to fish."
Seeing that Zhu Xu was so leisurely and leisurely, Cao Huachun said, "Some are not far from the headquarters, so I will ask someone to arrange it."
Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Don't move Hong Chengchou first, I'm useful."
Cao Huachun's smile suddenly disappeared and he whispered, "Abide by the order."
Zhu Xu and his children were having fun. Zhu Xu stood not far away, hiding a little without disturbing him.
But Zhang Yun still saw it, walked over, bowed, and smiled and said, "Shuxian is in great spirits today. She saw others flying kites and shouted that she would even fly them. I made one for her."
Zhu Xu looked up at the kite in the sky and said, "Well, it's very beautiful."
Zhang Yun quietly glanced at Cao Huachun and said to Zhu Xu: "I heard that an old friend of the emperor has come to the headquarters?"
Zhu Xu paid attention to the three children, afraid that he would be hurt, so he casually said: "Well, I met a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River last time during the southern tour."
"Famous prostitute?" Zhang Yun frowned slightly, and his pretty face slightly condensed.
Although Zhu Xu is not lustful and there are not many women in the palace, she knows the common problems of men.
She did not object to Zhu Xu's introduction of concubine into the palace, and even she and Empress Dowager Zhang had arranged many times, but Zhu Xu refused on the grounds that she was too busy with government affairs.
But no matter what, a "famous prostitute" cannot be allowed to enter the palace, and the royal family and the Ming Dynasty will lose their face.
But Zhang Yun was a smart woman, so she didn't say much, but just gave Cao Huachun a look.
Cao Huachun understood and bowed quietly.
Zhu Xu looked at the children with a smile on his face. He was not idle, but was waiting for Zhu Zonghan's confession.
Not long after, an internal supervisor came to report, saying, "Emperor, Zhu Zonghan has almost said everything about Luo Yangxing."
Zhu Xu turned around suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Take the confession, and I'll tell you that Jiang Feijun will come to see me."
"Yes." The inner supervisor agreed and took Zhu Xu to the cell.
Cao Huachun stayed, walked to Zhang Yun, bowed and said, "Empress."
Zhang Yun looked at him, frowned, and said, "Tell me honestly, that girl is clean?"
Although Cao Huachun was an eunuch, he was also a man in his forties. He said, "Don't worry, Miss Liu and the emperor are indeed old friends, but only old friends."
It's just an old friend, that's not accepted.
Zhang Yun felt a little relieved, but thinking that Zhu Xu had few women in the harem and had a thin offspring, and thinking that Liu Rushi was born in Qinhuaihe, he frowned and said, "Then, I ask you, what trouble will be if the emperor takes her into the palace?"
Cao Huachun was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhang Yun to think so far. He thought in his heart and said, "Ms. Liu... If the place considers the desolation in the palace and the emperor is overworking, it would be reasonable to offer some women to the emperor."
Women who offer this kind of gift generally do not have much status. Even if they have children, they will be entrusted to others to take care of the royal face.
In history, Chen Yuanyuan was once presented to Chongzhen like this, but Chongzhen was unintentional and retired, making Wu Sangui cheaper, which later led to a big story.
Zhang Yun understood and whispered: "You go and check it out clearly and report to me. I will test the emperor's wishes tonight."
The Empress was devoted to the emperor's concern, but how could she refuse as a slave? Cao Huachun quickly responded.
After Cao Huachun left, Zhang Yun said softly, "After returning to Beijing, you have to talk to the emperor's sister-in-law and convince the emperor to give the imperial examination as soon as possible..."
Zhu Xu didn't know that Zhang Yun had tried his best to find a woman for him. He was sitting in the cell, holding a piece of white paper in his hand, and was looking at it seriously.
Not far away, Zhu Zonghan was stripped of his shirt and locked on a chair without any scars. He was very good at answering questions and answering questions.
Zhu Zonghan knew too many secrets. Most of what he said now is about Luo Yangxing.
These are the things Zhu Xu is most concerned about at the moment!
Zhu Xu looked at the paper and wrote the white and black words clearly. It has been a major event in the past ten years since the second year of Chongzhen and until now.
Zhu Xu was surprised by many things. The Jinyiwei did a lot of things that he didn't know, which were related to national affairs, both inside and outside.
Zhu Xu's expression was calm, and the clown couldn't break his plan.
It was not until the last few pictures that Zhu Xu saw him wanting. While watching, he said, "You mean, Luo Yang's character is rebellious for his power?"
Zhu Zonghan sat there, still with the zombie face, and said, "Yes. His actions were all to overthrow the emperor and establish a new king. With the help of following the dragon, he could master the Jinyiwei again."
Zhu Xu laughed and said, "Even if I fall, the one who succeeds the throne is my son. With the assistance of all the cabinet ministers in the cabinet, where did Luo Yangxing get the merit of following the dragon?"
Zhu Zonghan said: "The previous incident against Fu Changzong was Luo Yangxing who was behind the scenes. He was testing the emperor and wanted to really overthrow Fu Changzong. As long as Fu Changzong fell, other people would not be worried. Many people could serve as cabinet ministers in the wild, and Luo Yangxing won a lot of them. As long as Fu Changzong fell, he could use some methods to make the emperor, the cabinet chaos, lose one's other, and the others... it would be natural..."
This sounds reasonable, but it actually doesn't work at all. If there is a real change, Sun Chengzong can completely control the entire capital. With Zhang Yun's imperial decree, the two camps outside the capital will be protected, and no slut can do anything.
Zhu Xu put down the paper in his hand and said, "What else do you have to say?"
Zhu Zonghan looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "According to the plan, he attacked the imperial officials. I took action against the military. The first one is Cao Wenzhao. I plan to slander Cao Bianjiao and force the emperor to kill him immediately. Then I send a letter to Cao Wenzhao and Dorgon, and contact the rioters of the Qianfu from all over the country, the generals with dissent intentions, and even Japan, Myanmar, and Siam. In an instant, the world will be in chaos..."
At first glance, it really looks like that, but when you think about it carefully, this plan is simply a joke and has no feasibility at all.
The first point is that he trusts Cao Bianjiao and will not execute him in a confused manner. Second, even if Zhu Xu killed Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao would only apologize and would not rebel. The others would be even less worth refuting.
Zhu Xu looked at him, sighed, and said, "You have always been a person who pays attention to the small details and has no overall situation. Your abacus is a mess. No wonder you have been fighting Luo Yangxing for so many years and are always at a disadvantage..."
Zhu Zonghan looked as usual and bowed and said, "When it comes to the overall situation, no one in the world is the emperor's opponent, that is also an unsuccessful method, and I do not dare to do it."
"I believe in you."
Zhu Xu said: "No one dares to touch my army yet, continue talking."
Zhu Zonghan looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Not long ago, I went to see Luo Yangxing. On an isolated island outside the Shenlong Mansion, there was more prosperous than the imperial palace. Luo Yangxing was there to practice Zen and realize enlightenment, but I knew that he was lustful, and that the island was almost full of women."
Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and looked motionless.
Zhu Zonghan said: "Luo Yangxing has great ambitions. He won over the army and controlled many people, including Hong Chengchou. The emperor's assassination was not arranged by me. Hong Chengchou had nothing to do with me. It should be Luo Yangxing's method. I don't know what he wanted to do."
Zhu Xu picked up the teacup at his hand and said, "You stretch your arms long. In the army, his influence is probably greater than you."
Zhu Zonghan nodded and said, "I know. Not only in the army, but also in the Zhengyuan and the Military Academy, he also has many people. As far as I know, he also attempted to control Zhou Yingqiu and Lu Xiangsheng, but they all failed. His means could not deal with them."
Zhu Xu put down the teacup, expressionless.
Some things are extremely uncomfortable even if you have a premonition in your heart, but are confirmed in person.
Zhu Zonghan looked at Zhu Xu and said, "He is the Jinyiwei family. After being pushed by the emperor, he secretly cultivated his strength, especially in the court. However, he did not expect that the emperor would be so straightforward to clean up the court and wipe out his plan."
"Don't let me ask," Zhu Xu said lightly.
Zhu Zonghan's zombie's face seemed to be solemn, and he said, "Yes. Luo Yangxing's network of relationships exceeded the emperor's imagination. He had infiltrated in Korea, Ryukyu, Japan, Mongolia, and the Jin Dynasty before. Why could Huang Taiji go so promptly every time? I suspect that Luo Yangxing was informing him."
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and said nothing, but he denied it in his heart. He was not sure that he could destroy Huang Taiji in one fell swoop and Luo Yangxing’s letter.
Zhu Zonghan continued: "Among the bandits, I suspect that Luo Yangxing hid Li Zicheng and others, otherwise I would not be able to find it. There is also a man named Zhang Xianzhong who came from the Military Academy, which should be related to Luo Yangxing. This person has some tricks."
Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, and his murderous intent was strong. He did not expect that Luo Yangxing was so "foresighted" and had this step of secret chess.
Zhu Zonghan was silent for a while and said, "I have found out that these two people were still a year ago. Both of them went to Bei'annan and mixed into immigrants, but when they arrived in Bei'annan, they disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace again."
"He Renlong and others were bought by Luo Yangxing, but these people have a burst of personality and are extremely greedy. They are prone to accidents and are eventually abandoned by Luo Yangxing."
"There are also shadows of Zhu Zonghan about the matter of King Xin. Many of the rumors and counselors around King Xin were from Luo Yangxing. At first, he wanted to replace the emperor with King Xin and slowly... "
"When the Donglin Party and others were confiscated, Wei Zhongxian died, the Jinyiwei confiscated a considerable amount of money and grain. Many of these money and grains were taken away by Luo Yangxing, and the specific whereabouts cannot be found."
...
The things Zhu Zonghan said were all major events, and even Zhu Xu didn't know the details. He was really thrilling to listen to Zhu Zonghan's words and sentences.
Zhu Zonghan looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "In recent years, the emperor has often had serious illnesses. Luo Yangxing tried to take the opportunity to poison the emperor, but even the Jinyiwei was difficult to penetrate the arrangement in the palace. After several successful poisoning, they were found... Luo Yangxing also tried to bring explosives into the palace, but he couldn't even enter the palace gate, and there were instruments detecting there..."
Zhu Xu's eyes were cold and his eyes were directed at Zhu Zonghan. His body was still moving, and he held up the teacup with his hands.
Zhu Zonghan lowered his head and said, "There are many times when I stopped him quietly, and some assassinations were resolved in advance by me. I am different from Luo Yang's nature. This has never changed since I am loyal to the emperor..."
Zhu Xu had a expressionless face and silently drank tea, saying, "Your ability was far superior to Luo Yang's nature at first, but later, it was far inferior to Luo Yang's nature. You are not as selfish as Luo Yang's nature."
Zhu Zonghan understood Zhu Xu's meaning and said, "I am not as good as Luo Yangxing, and his ability, control and layout are more ruthless than mine. But in order to check and balance, I also made a lot of arrangements. I have been in the Luo family for many years and understand Luo Yangxing. Therefore, I can see a lot of his plans in advance."
"Continue talking." Zhu Xu said.
To be continued...
