MTL - My Brother-in-law is the Prince-Chapter 388 I am here

  Chapter 388 I am here

  Zhu Di was silent, didn't say a word, just looked at the person in front of him with heavy eyes.

  When the scholar saw this, he seemed a little impatient.

   In his opinion, it is just that these water bandits want to raise the price.

   Then he said again: "I also ask you to be in charge of the house and leave the city to station quickly. If not, people will be panicked, and Mr. Xu may not be able to explain it. After all, Mr. Xu is the chief envoy, so we need to pay attention to it."

  Zhu Di said at this time: "Where are they?"

  The scholar looked at Zhu Di, and said without thinking, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient at this time..."

   "Where are they!" Zhu Di emphasized, sternly.

  The scholars finally lost their momentum at this time, and they were eloquent, but unexpectedly, these rough guys were all elm-headed.

  He was quite displeased in his heart, but he had a calm expression on his face: "It's not far away."

   "Call them to meet."

   "This... I'm afraid it will be very inconvenient..." The scholar said with a bit of doubt: "Everyone in charge, Mr. Xu has difficulties with Mr. Xu. He is an official, you wait..."

  He wanted to say that you are bandits.

   But the words came to his lips, but he didn't say them in the end.

  He just looked up, but saw Zhu Di looking at him angrily.

  I knew in my heart that these water thieves were all stubborn, so I had no choice but to say sullenly: "I'll report it now."

   After finishing speaking, he went back to Xu Qi and the others in a hurry. He had seen Xu Qi, as well as the commander and all the officials.

  Everyone was already impatient, when seeing him coming, Xu Qi was the first to ask: "How?"

  The scholar said worriedly: "Something has happened."

  Xu Qi frowned and said, "What's the big deal?"

   "Zhang Anshi and... are with His Majesty."

  As soon as this remark came out, there was a deathly silence.

   Xu Qi began to tremble.

  The commanders beside him made Liu Rong's complexion suddenly change.

  The few confidantes who came along were even more frightened and trembling.

  This result was never expected by Xu Qi.

   "This... this..." Xu Qi became flustered.

   "It's no wonder... these water thieves came here in the starry night. They... how do you say, your majesty... how is your majesty?"

  The scholar said: "Your Majesty should be in modest clothes, and he probably didn't bring many guards. Judging by the tone of the water thieves, it seems... It seems that they died in the chaos, and His Majesty passed away."

  Xu Qi shivered.

  Liu Rong on the side felt even more weak in his legs.

   It was deathly silence again.

  Everyone is ashamed.

   This is too big a deal.

   To put it bluntly, this is called killing the king by ministers.

   This alone is enough to make everyone's hearts completely overwhelmed.

  Xu Qi felt as if struck by lightning, and even felt dizzy for a while.

  But people are like this, and he couldn't accept these results at first.

But when he accepted the reality, there was a twinkle in his eyes immediately, and finally he tried his best to put on a calm posture, and said slowly: "This is not necessarily a bad thing. Monitor the subjects of the world. Now that he is dead...or the world is a blessing."

The scholar smiled bitterly and said: "The students also said the same to the bandits. I saw that the mood of those bandits was unusual. Although these people are thieves, they are just thieves after all. They have no ambitions. I'm afraid they will be scared this time." It's not easy, in order to prevent them from acting recklessly, so the students comforted me like this, it's just..."

  Xu Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Just what?"

   "It's just that they said that they hope Mr. Xu will wait and go see him."

  Xu Qi's face was ashen, he snorted coldly, and angrily said: "A group of thieves, how can you see them? Now I don't have time to see them."

The scholar said: "If this is the case, they will not leave. Mr. Xu, if this matter persists, I'm afraid... something will happen. It's already ugly. They have already entered the city. Even if the officers and soldiers fight with them, there is no guarantee... They won't have any remnants of their crimes escaped, and then... they are afraid to sue elsewhere."

"Mr. Xu, when things have come to this point, once the matter of Jiujiang Mansion is leaked, how can we bear the crime of murdering the king? The students think that the more it is at this time, the more they should be stabilized, and then they will slowly figure it out." , looking for an opportunity to completely wipe them all out, so that nothing will go wrong."

  Xu Qi listened, and said: "I am the official of the imperial court, how can I see the thief?"

   "This is easy to do, just go to Zhao'an in the name of protecting the environment and the people. This is called compromise. When they are finally killed, it will be..."

  Xu Qi didn't continue to listen, he turned his eyes to Liu Rong.

  Liu Rong frowned and said in a deep voice, "This...isn't impossible..."

   "General Liu agrees?"

   "That's all for now."

   "In that case, you can go with the old man." Obviously, Xu Qi was worried.

  Just as he wanted to kill those thieves to silence them, for such a big thing, he couldn't guarantee that he would go to meet the thieves alone, and whether Liu Rong and others would sell him in the end.

   Right now, no one is trustworthy, and any one person may stab you in the back in the end.

  Liu Rong suddenly showed embarrassment. At this time, everyone was in a state of confusion, but they also knew that according to Xu Qi's temperament, if he and others refused to follow, he would naturally refuse to go.

   It's just these thieves, the longer they drag in the city, the greater the risk to them.

  Finally, Liu Rong nodded heavily and said: "Alright, I will order my lieutenant to lead the troops, and you and I will lead the troops, how about it?"

  Xu Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "It's so bold."

  The two agreed to leave immediately without delay.

   It's just that along the way, the two of them were very upset.

   Liu Rong suddenly said coldly: "Mr. Xu, what are you worried about?"

  Xu Qi said: "I used to be worried, but now, I don't worry anymore."

"Oh?"

Xu Qidao: "If only one Zhang Anshi dies, according to His Majesty's disposition, I, the chief envoy, will surely die without a place to bury him. But if His Majesty does well, although it is hard to escape the blame, but once the emperor dies, the whole world will be destroyed." The shock, the government and the people are chaotic, the crown prince is on the throne, and his foothold is not stable, it is time to win the hearts of the world, maybe... this old man has a chance of survival instead."

He let out a breath, and continued: "The prince is lenient, and he has a kind heart, not to mention... many of Zhan Shifu's subordinates around him, most of them are from Jiangxi, and the old man is more or less, and there are some relations... as long as all these The responsibility has been put on the heads of these water thieves, and the matter... may really have room for change."

   "In this way, it is a good thing that His Majesty passed away."

   "Of course it's a good thing. It's a great thing. After his death, I don't know how many people can sleep well." Xu Qi said with a smile.

  Liu Rong just nodded and didn't make a sound...

  ...

   At this time, the Taoist came to the old man's house in a hurry.

  Seeing the old man, he said, "The sky is falling, and you are still studying?"

  The old man was sitting in the study at this time, holding a scroll in his hand, when he heard the sound, he looked up at the Taoist, smiled and said, "Here you are..."

  The Taoist said anxiously: "It seems that you are old, and your eyes and ears are no longer able to function."

  The old man still calmly said: "Why did you say that?"

  The Taoist frowned and said, "You don't know that such a big event happened in the city?"

  The old man put down the scroll slowly and said, "Who says I don't know?"

   Taoist said: "You know it, but you still have such leisure and elegance?"

The old man smiled: "Everything is under the control of the old man, just like you and I are playing chess, the piece has not been dropped yet, the old man has already predicted how to win, so...the victory or loss, what is there to make people feel sad? Woolen cloth?"

   Taoist said: "Did you expect the thieves to enter the city?"

The old man still looked calm and said: "The old man has indeed heard some news, and... the people from the chief envoy just now came to confirm it. This matter is indeed unexpected, but it is reasonable. Those thieves did not expect that Jiujiang's Among them, there is still Zhu Laosi, who is afraid of crime at this time, so naturally... they came here to kill, they knew that they might become a scapegoat, so they had to settle the score with Xu Qi and ask for an explanation."

"But what does this have to do with the old man? Whether Xu Qi killed all these thieves, or these thieves slaughtered Nanchang, as far as the old man is concerned, the old man's goal has been achieved. Others are just details, and there is no need to go Take it seriously."

  The Taoist looked at the calm look of the old man, but instead sighed: "If you really slaughtered Nanchang, you will be a sinner for thousands of years."

The old man calmly said: "It doesn't matter how big things are. What I want to do is to decide the life and death of the people in the world. There are only a few hundred thousand people in Nanchang. Even if they die for the future Qingping world , For them, it is also a lucky thing.”

   "The so-called gentleman works hard, and the villain labors. The same reason, the gentleman strategizes and has a long-term ambition, while the villain is ignorant. If they can use their ants to exchange for eternal peace, why not?"

   Taoist was speechless for a moment.

   After a long time, the Taoist said again: "What are your plans?"

  The old man said: "When Zhu Di dies, it is a god-given opportunity. At this time... Nanchang Prefecture, and even Jiangxi Chief Commissioner, are actually not important anymore."

   "Oh?" The Taoist looked at him with satisfaction and doubt, and said, "Where is the most important?"

  The old man smiled and said: "In the temple, in the capital! I have made plans and arrangements, and the power of the world will soon be in my pocket. You just wait and see."

  The Taoist obviously didn't understand the meaning of the old man for a while, so he frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

  The old man just smiled lightly and said, "It's better that you don't know about some things."

  The Taoist stared fixedly at the old man for a while, then sighed quietly: "It's really hard to guess what's going on in your mind."

   "Then there is no need to guess." The old man said with his eyelids lowered, continued to pick up his scroll, and continued to read it carefully.

  ...

  Xu Qiren and others came to Zhu Di in a very happy mood.

  Xu Qi was sitting in the sedan chair, and when the sedan chair stopped, he opened the curtain, and then he tried to squeeze out some smiles.

  He felt that it was very easy to lull these water thieves, all he needed was to be kind and make some promises.

   Then wait for the opportunity to catch them all.

  He smiled and saluted like a ceremonial, seeing the bandit chiefs standing on horseback one by one, although he was displeased, he didn't care.

  He and Liu Rong led the officials closer.

   However, when he got closer, Xu Qi's feet suddenly went limp.

  Then, the smile on his face became stiff, and his face gradually lost its color.

  Xu Qi was dumbfounded.

   Liu Rong on the side, originally put on a somewhat ferocious appearance, he pressed the handle of the knife at his waist, looking menacing.

  But seeing Zhu Di on the horse now, he became numb.

  These two are great officials in the frontier, and they have seen Zhu Di's true face, but this... is not the present day, who is it?

  In an instant, Xu Qi panicked beyond measure.

  All the calculations, all the planning, and the countless thoughts, at this moment, directly vanished into ashes and vanished into thin air.

  He only had a stiff face, and in the depths of his eyes, there was only an incomparable shock and fear.

  Zhu Di has brought people, and came straight on horseback.

  Xu Qi and Liu Rong were still frozen in place, as if frozen in place, motionless.

  Zhu Di said: "Are you here? Well done!"

   He was riding on a tall horse, looking down at Xu Qi and Liu Rong.

   It's like... a cat looking at two funny mice.

   "Bold."

   Someone shouted loudly.

   This loud shout seemed to wake everyone up at once.

  Everyone looked, but behind Liu Rong was Liu Lu, the magistrate of Nanchang.

   Liu Lu's official position is obviously not high enough, so he has never met the saint in the past.

  He felt that these thieves were so rampant, if their arrogance could not be curbed, it would give these water thieves an opportunity to take advantage of it.

  As for Xu Qi and Liu Rong's silence at this time, it should be because they rely on their identities. As a subordinate official, he should be the black face.

  So Liu Lu put on a majestic posture and shouted sharply: "Why don't you get off your horse and kneel down when you see the chief envoy and the commander of the capital?"

  Zhu Di has been shocked too much today.

  Now he is immune to any absurd things.

  He raised his eyelids, glanced at Liu Lu, and said, "Who are you?"

   "Liu Lu, the magistrate of Nanchang." Liu Lu continued righteously: "Don't think that you can show off your power when you enter the city, this is a place where kings rule."

  Zhu Di said with a bit of sarcasm: "Where is the law of the king, when did this place become a place with the law of the king?"

   Liu Lu was furious, how could he let the thief gain the upper hand in his tongue?

  So he said: "What is in front of you today is the king's law! The chief envoy is the king's law, and the commander is the king's law. The official is in front of you, it is the king's law!"

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Zhu Di was silenced again.

  Xu Qi: "..."

  The word "Wang Fa" was like a basin of cold water, which immediately woke him up.

  Xu Qi bent his knees and fell to the ground with a plop.

  But he wanted to open his mouth, but his mouth squirmed, but he couldn't make a sound.

  When a person's fear and frustration reach their limit, they can't even control their own body freely.

   Liu Lu was shocked, thinking that Xu Qi had something wrong with his body, so he hurried forward: "Xu Gong, Xu Gong..."

  He wanted to help Xu Qi up.

  At this time...Xu Qi was completely impatient.

  He flicked his sleeves suddenly, threw Liu Lu away, and finally roared: "Get out!"

   Liu Lu: "..."

  Xu Qi, who had recovered his voice, fell to the ground in despair, and then... seemed to say with great difficulty: "Minister...Minister...Xu Qi...have seen Your Majesty...Long live my emperor!"

  As soon as this remark came out.

  Nadu Commander Liu Rong has already bowed down, with a pale face, he stammered and said: "Chen...Chen...Wan...Will die..."

  After hearing this, Liu Lu trembled. He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and then fell to the ground like crazy.

  The scholar who came with him suddenly fainted.

  Zhu Di looked at this scene, feeling like he was watching a play, and sneered: "I'm surprised to see you."

   "Yes, no, not surprised, Your Majesty is unpredictable..."

  Zhu Di looked at Xu Qi and said, "Xu Qi, I'm still alive, you must be very disappointed, aren't you?"

  Xu Qi was already out of his wits, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't know whose flattery your Majesty has listened to, minister... minister..."

  Zhu Di seemed too lazy to listen to his nonsense, and interrupted impatiently: "Now, do you still want to deny it?"

  Xu Qi was silent.

  If you continue to deny it now, it is really called shameless.

   On the other hand, Liu Rong immediately said, "Your Majesty, this is Xu Qi's idea..."

   Xu Qi gritted his teeth after hearing this. In fact, he knew that it was meaningless to distinguish these things now.

  The people who came with him were all sincere and fearful, and everyone bowed down.

However, Zhu Di sneered and said: "It really is the winner and the loser. If I do what you want, I am afraid that today, you may not know how to celebrate with each other. It's a pity...you don't even **** yourself and look in the mirror to rebel. Kingslayer, are you worthy too?"

  Xu Qi and the others were cast down, unable to speak a word.

  Zhu Di went on to say: "There are people in this world who are capable of killing kings, how will it be your turn? Among the people in the world, Zhang Anshi is the only one who has such wisdom and courage."

   Zhang Anshi is behind, riding a horse.

  Hearing this, his body shook violently, and he almost fell off the horse in fright.

  He subconsciously wanted to deny it, but it seemed inappropriate to say these things at this time.

  Xu Qi and the others, all of them with ashen faces, still worshiped tremblingly.

  Zhu Di continued; "What should be done about the crime of regicide?"

  Xu Qi finally said with a trembling voice: "I...I must die..."

  Zhu Di laughed, and he said slowly: "Is it just ten thousand deaths? You dog-like person, what should you say now?"

  At this moment, Xu Qi seemed to finally have some courage, and looked up at Zhu Di.

   "His Majesty forced the ministers to do this."

  Xu Qi was crying. Alone, at this point today, he already knew that he was about to lose everything. The only thing he could do was to take this last chance to defend himself.

"If it wasn't for His Majesty, how could I have reached this point? Your Majesty knows that there is already a lot of anger and resentment inside and outside the government! I am in Jiangxi, and whoever mentioned His Majesty, who didn't complain? "

   "I do these things today, does your Majesty think that this is something that I can do alone? If it weren't for these years, the society has reached such a point, and the people of the world are full of resentment... why is it today?"

  ………

   Ask for a monthly pass.
