Chapter 19 From now on there will be no more Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis, only Your Majesty’s loyal
Baohe Hall.
This is the palace where the emperor handles government affairs and also where he receives important ministers.
When Zhu Wusi followed Cao Zhengchun to this palace.
Then he saw Zhu Houzhao whispering something to Xu Yanbing.
This also made Zhu Wusi's heart slightly tense.
But on the surface he still maintained the attitude of the emperor's uncle: "Is there anything your majesty doesn't understand?"
This statement was somewhat condescending, but it was also the way Zhu Wusi and Zhu Houzhao communicated in the past.
Although the emperor's uncle is a minister.
But he is also Zhu Houzhao's elder.
What's more, Zhu Wusi is the Iron-hearted Divine Marquis, in charge of the Huolong Villa, and has the responsibility of being a minister of state.
It is natural to ask in this tone.
This was also a test by Zhu Wushi, he was testing Zhu Houzhao's reaction.
...
Zhu Houzhao turned around slowly, and looked at Zhu Wusi with extremely calm eyes: "Uncle, you disappoint me very much."
moment.
Zhu Wusi's whole body trembled, and the suppressed anxiety in his heart was instantly revealed.
Zhu Houzhao's attitude and tone at this time told Zhu Wusi without a doubt that he had lost the bet!
But Zhu Wusi still wanted to struggle. He said in a slightly stiff tone: "What does your majesty mean?"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but laugh: "My uncle is valued by my father. He founded the Hulong Villa. He also has the two most precious treasures, the Red Book of Iron and the Imperial Sword. He can kill the tyrant emperor and the greedy ministers, and he can also train countless secret agents in the palace!!"
"This kind of power is above all the ministers. Even the Prime Minister Yang Heting cannot compare with it!"
"Can...."
He suppressed his smile and said word by word: "Why is the emperor's uncle so timid!"
timid?!
Zhu Wusi was stunned.
Zhu Houzhao ignored Tiedan Shenhou's reaction. He said calmly, "Since you are unwilling to let your father pass the throne to me, you should have decisively launched a coup and rebelled before your father died! Instead of being so indecisive!"
"If you want to get Gu Santong's fiancée Su Xin, you should kill Gu Santong!"
"Instead of framing him and imprisoning him in a dungeon for more than ten years."
"If he could ruthlessly kill 108 masters from the eight major sects in the martial arts world and absorb all their skills, why would he be afraid of a mere Cao Zhengchun?"
"Since you knew my background yesterday, why do you dare to come to court today?!"
"With the Emperor's uncle's personality, is he worthy of being the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?!"
Zhu Houzhao's words were calm.
But those words were like a heavy hammer hitting Zhu Wusi's heart.
His face turned even paler: "If you already know everything, why are you saying this?"
"Because you are still useful!"
Zhu Houzhao said frankly, his eyes were extremely cold as he looked at Zhu Wusi: "If it weren't for the secret agents trained for decades, if it weren't for the fact that you built the Hulong Villa."
"Do you really think you can still stand and talk to me intact?"
According to common sense, if Zhu Houzhao wanted to take advantage of Zhu Wusi, there would be no need for him to say it so openly.
But with each sign-in, Zhu Houzhao's foundation became more and more sufficient.
He had long since disdained such tedious behavior.
Zhu Wusi thought that if this person could be used, he would be used. If he was not useful, he would be killed. What if?
...
Zhu Houzhao had such a cold tone and extremely cold eyes.
Cao Zhengchun, who was standing beside him, felt a chill all over his body. He could not imagine that these were words that His Majesty could say.
It was even more difficult for him to accept that this was the Majesty he had known before.
This is not the crown prince of the past, but a real emperor.
The cold and heartless emperor!
Zhu Wusi also felt cold all over. He stared at Zhu Houzhao in front of him seriously: "Are you really my nephew?"
Zhu Houzhao did not reply, but just looked at Zhu Wusi calmly.
This attitude made Zhu Wusi feel even colder in his heart. He couldn't help but laugh: "Sure enough! This Marquis is indeed not suitable to be the emperor, because this Marquis can't be as cold-blooded and ruthless as you, nor can he be as rational as you!"
"You knew that I was planning a rebellion, and you even knew that I was framing Gu Santong."
"But because of the Hulong Villa and the secret agents accumulated over the past few decades, he wanted to recruit them for his own use!"
"Perhaps only someone with this kind of temperament can sit in that position and be qualified to be the emperor of Ming Dynasty!"
"No!" Zhu Houzhao shook his head and sneered: "The reason why I dare to do this is not because I am cold-blooded or rational, but because I have full confidence and certainty."
"You are unwilling to die, but you dare not die!"
"Faced with the choice I have given you, you can only kneel down and be my loyal dog!"
"And without any courage to die."
When Zhu Wusi heard this, he turned his head to look at Xu Yanbing, and then Su Xin's figure appeared in his mind.
At this moment, he finally understood Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.
indeed.
He dare not die!
Can't die either!
If he died, what would happen to Su Xin? !
Although Zhu Wusi calls himself a hero and thinks he can endure things, his biggest weakness is his loyalty.
The emperor is ruthless!
The tyrant is ruthless!
He has made up his mind to rebel.
How could Zhu Wusi dare to be so devoted to Su Xin that he was even willing to give up everything for the beauty?
"What does your majesty want me to do?"
Zhu Wushi's emotions gradually calmed down when the incident had not yet occurred.
He might still have a chance to make another choice.
But when Zhu Houzhao really said this.
Zhu Wusi had no choice but to surrender!
"Do you know what Prime Minister Yang Heting said today about the lack of silver?" Zhu Houzhao said calmly, "Take 10,000 imperial guards and go south to Japan. Within half a year, I want you to bring back 10 million taels of silver."
"Don't take Wan Sanqian away!"
"Everything in Hulong Villa will be handed over to Shangguan Haitang."
Three thousand.
Heading south to Japan!
After hearing the order, Zhu Wusi looked at Zhu Houzhao with eyes filled with horror. He knew that everything about him was no longer a secret in front of the young king, and it would be even easier to go south to Japan.
This was both a test and an imperial move.
If Zhu Wusi, the powerful uncle of the emperor, had gone south to Japan on the fourth day of Your Majesty's accession to the throne.
Then how many people among the civil and military officials in the court dare to disobey your majesty's orders? !
Shangguan Haitang's arrangement was even more brilliant, as she was the most loyal person.
As long as Zhu Wusi gives the order, Shangguan Haitang will assist His Majesty with all her strength.
Moreover, Wan Sanqian has always liked Haitang. If Haitang is used as bait, Wan Sanqian can be controlled!
Good trick!
Good political tactics!
Zhu Wusi was truly convinced at this moment: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will prepare to go south today!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly: "When you come back, I will tell you the whereabouts of the second Tianxiang Cardamom!"
He is not really a cold-hearted person.
And since you want Zhu Wusi to do something, you have to give him some sweet rewards.
This also made Zhu Wusi ecstatic in an instant: "Your Majesty knows the whereabouts of Tianxiang Doukou?!"
All you need to revive Su Xin is three pieces of natural fragrant cardamom.
Zhu Wusi had already let Su Xin swallow one, but he had not found the remaining two yet.
"Go and do your work." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand calmly.
"Yes!" Zhu Wusi suppressed his inner excitement. He saluted solemnly to his Majesty and then slowly left.
Cao Zhengchun was extremely shocked when he saw Zhu Wusi leaving.
Your Majesty's methods today are indeed more terrifying than those of Xu Yanbing.
Murder and kill!
Zhu Wusi has lost everything but he still serves His Majesty wholeheartedly.
From now on, I am afraid there will be no more Iron-hearted Divine Marquis, only a loyal dog of your majesty!!!
