The princelings were facing a crisis, and the Han King Party became more active, and they were all so happy.

However, only the leader of the Han King Party, Zhu Heji, the Han King, seemed very abnormal.

From the day the emperor announced the withdrawal of the crown prince's seal, the extremely smart His Highness, the King of Han, became "ill". He never left the door all day long, and he did not step out of the door, and he lay in the soft collapse.

Except for the princes and princesses who came to visit and were very close to them, he would block anyone who came and would not see him.

In front of the Han Palace, the car and sedan were parked for a long time, and many officials gathered in front of the Zhuhong Gate.

The escort of the royal palace stood tightly in front of the door. Although he was polite, he was not at all comfortable: "My prince said that he would refuse all visits. Please go back."

A passerby, the official from Beijing, stepped forward, lowered his posture, and said with a smile: "I am waiting for you to come, just to visit His Highness the King of Han, and I am also worried about it."

The guards did not enter: "It is not that we are unwilling to report it. It is because His Highness has given instructions that the court has a system and that the vassal kings should not get too close to the current officials. Please don't make things difficult for the villain."

At this moment, a guard shouted affectionately: "General Xuanwu is here!"

A car drove straight to the gate of the Han Palace and stopped. Xu Mingwu came out of the carriage, swept around and smiled: "Hey, it's so lively in front of the palace!"

After saying that, he did not say hello to the officials around him and walked straight into the royal palace, but no one stopped him.

"This...why did he get in?"

The passerby, the official in Beijing Jia, was upset and said, "He is a fourth-rank official, and I am also a fourth-rank official. How can he get in? Can't I get in?"

The officials talked: "At least we are enthusiastic, and it seems that you are too favorable to keep us away!"

The guard laughed: "This has nothing to do with the rank. General Xuanwu is the best friend of His Highness the King of Han. He came to the palace and was a small gathering of friends. Your relationship has not reached this level."

Official B of passerby came out to smooth things over and said, "Mr. Liu, he is a noble child and is close to the royal family. Maybe he will be the prince-in-law in the future and be a family with the Prince of Han. How can you compare? Let's go back."

Some time ago, Xu Mingwu instructed an assassin to assassinate the Siam prince, which was rumored to be a hot topic. His admiration for Princess Zhaoyang was also well known to the people who were obsessed with it.

Last month, the three departments jointly tried the case, and Xu Mingwu was acquitted and regained his freedom. He began to wander around again, becoming the royal son-in-law.

"snort!"

Passerby A lost face and left on the spot, and the officials gradually dispersed.

The guard looked at the officials who were leaving, with disdain on his face and muttered: "What's the point!"

In the study of the Wangfu, there are matching nanmu seats and tea tables. The tea table is filled with flowers. A square table carved with yellow rosewood beside the window is placed, and a pot of wine, a few pairs of chopsticks and a few plates of exquisite dishes are placed on the table.

On the ceiling, a light that was not very bright cast several figures on the wall. Opposite Xu Mingwu, Han Wang Zhu and Ji sat casually, and there were two members of the Han Wang Party on both sides.

One of the middle-aged aides said slowly: "From the current situation, the Han prince has a 70% chance of winning!"

Everyone nodded together, the prince fell, and the King of Jin was not interested in political affairs. Who else could he do except the King of Han?

Unless the emperor deposed the crown prince and refused to establish the crown prince, and waited until the Qin prince grew up and observed before erecting it, but how could the Ming Dynasty not establish the crown prince for a long time? There has never been such a precedent!

Xu Mingwu pondered for a moment, and after the staff expressed his opinions, he spoke out: "Your Highness, I suggest you keep calm and don't worry, wait a moment before you talk."

Zhu Heqi stared at Xu Mingwu with his eyes and asked, "I wonder what you said "wait a minute" and "see"? Are you worried about something wrong?"

Seeing that he was asking so much, Xu Mingwu sighed in his heart, and the King of Han was a little impatient.

But if I think about it, if I am in the position of King of Han, and if I encounter a great opportunity to be the crown prince or the emperor, I will definitely not be able to sit still.

Xu Mingwu thought for a while and replied: "What I'm waiting for is the princelings' move, but what I'm looking at is the Holy Will of Heaven."

Zhu Heqi showed a stern expression on his face. He stood up and walked back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, thinking about gains and losses.

Xu Mingwu said it right. With Yang Shicong, the princelings, there are so many capable people, and they are powerful. They will definitely not sit still and wait for death, at least they will make trouble.

If they make trouble, it may affect the father's will and dispel the idea of ​​deposing the prince.

On the contrary, if they don’t make a good deal, they will only backfire, which will make their father unhappy and make up their minds to depose the prince.

Therefore, all this depends on the mind and intention of heaven.

However, Zhu Heqi was worried that the princelings would be troubled and he would never have such a great opportunity again.

.........

In Fengtian Hall, there were black crows sitting all over the hall.

Zhu Cixuan sat high on the imperial throne, his voice was dull and hoarse: "Because the prince did not do his duty, I deeply disappointed me. I thought about it all over the night, and stopped using all the seals of the prince."

After saying that, Zhu Cilang looked at the ministers silently, wanting to see the attitude of these ministers towards the crown prince, and take the opportunity to touch the civil and military officials in the court.

Let’s see how much they supported the prince, or what situation they were dissatisfied with.

It seemed that it was out of a wait-and-see state that the whole palace was silent and no one was willing to take the lead.

Suddenly, an excited voice came out: "Your Majesty! I have a memorial, please accept it!"

Everyone looked in the voice and said that it was the prince's tutor Mao Xiang.

For twenty years, Mao Xiang has worked hard to tutor the prince, and Zhu Cilang has always been grateful.

As the prince's teacher, he has fulfilled his responsibilities, at least more reliable than those of Zhu Cixuan's teachers back then.

Zhu Cixuan knew what he wanted to say, but he didn't want to hear him say it. But seeing that the talented man looked excited and was about to hit the golden pillar if he didn't let him say it, he sighed and said, "Tell me."

Mao Xiang straightened his clothes and looked like a stern minister, and replied: "Your Majesty, I think that although the prince occasionally has faults, he will not be deposed by the seal!"

"Your Majesty just said that the Crown Prince was not fulfilling his duties and had the hope of being saint. I don't think that the Crown Prince was responsible for governing the country and assisting the government. It is rare to receive a single word from His Majesty. If there are occasional mistakes, the thunderous anger will be repeatedly increased, which will make the Crown Prince tremble and be at a loss when he sees His Majesty," he said.

Mao Xiang took a deep breath and said resolutely: "Your Majesty, you have never put yourself in the shoes of the prince. His difficulties and his difficulties! Now, for some false charges, I have collected the seal of the prince and calmed the Eastern Palace. Your Majesty, you cannot treat the prince like this!"

"I risk my life to make suggestions today, please ask Your Majesty to accept it. If Your Majesty does not accept it and insists on deposing the crown prince, then I will be killed in this golden palace today to protect the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!"

Speaking of this, Mao Xiang was already hoarse, crying and even doing the move to hit the golden pillar.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and even Zhu Ciyang was shocked. Is this still the dog licking Mao Xiang he knew before?

At that time, Mao Xiang, as one of the "Four Young Masters of Jinling", was a little talented and failed many tests. In the re-examination of the imperial examination, he actually followed Hou Fangyu to cause trouble. He ran away in advance because the Tianwu army rushed into the Jiangnan Gongyuan.

After Mao Xiang became an official, he has always followed Zhu Cixuan's footsteps and does whatever he wants. He does a great job in diplomacy.

However, today, he actually accused the emperor of being punished without urging! He even threatened to die!

"Okay, what a loyal minister who is trying to kill him!"

Zhu Cilang was so angry that his face turned blue, and pointed at him and said, "You roared like this in the Golden Palace and was forced to me, aren't you afraid of blood splattering on the spot?"

Mao Xiang was completely willing to go out and stood upright and said, "For the sake of the stability of the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, I am not afraid! Moreover, my family of more than ten people are ready. If you are willing to accompany me, you will die!"

Even though Zhu Cilang was so brave that he was stunned at this time and was stunned on the spot.

After a while, Zhu Cilang sneered: "Hmph! You want to win the reputation of loyalty for death, but you put the reputation of killing loyal ministers on me. I am afraid it will not be so easy, someone will come!"

The two of them came out to guard the Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Cixuan pointed at Mao Xiang and said, "Take Mao Xiang home and leave it to his wives and concubines to watch. If he seeks death, you will capture his wives and concubines and throw them into the prison!"

"Receive the order!"

Two great Han generals stepped forward to help Mao Xiang, who was frightened, and walked out of the hall.

Mao Xiang was just now strong and awesome. When he heard that he was going to capture his wife and concubine, he immediately became deserted and almost became paralyzed.

Mao Xiang and Tang Bohu have similar personalities, a romantic and elegant personality, and are not particular about details. They are known as "Southeast Famous Shadow" and "A man is like a good girl". His marriage and love life are also very legendary.

According to research by those who are interested in trouble, Mao Pijiang's private life is rampant, not considered a "dewed couple". More than a dozen women who have had love relationships with him, have written poems and learned foreign languages ​​for a long time.
