Chapter 388: I am here
Zhu Di was silent, not saying a word, just looking at the person in front of him with a heavy gaze.
The reader, on the other hand, looked a little impatient at the sight.
In his opinion, now it was just these water bandits trying to raise the price.
Then said: “also please all of you, quickly out of the city stationed, if not, make a panic, Xu Gong is afraid also not good to explain. After all, Xu Gong is the Buzheng Minister, still need to pay attention to the view.”
Zhu Di said at this time, “Where are they?”
The reader looked at Zhu Di, and without thinking, he said, “At this time, I am afraid it is only inconvenient ……”
“Where are they!” Zhu aggravated his tone and spoke sternly.
Readers at this time the momentum is finally weak, their own tongue like a reed, who expected these rough men but one is elm brain, said it is also a waste of time to say, a waste of energy.
He was quite upset in his heart, but on his face he looked composed, “It’s not far away.”
“Tell them to meet.”
“This …… is only afraid of much inconvenience ……” the reader with a few points for the problem: “All of you when the family, Xu Gong has Xu Gong’s difficulties, he is a government official, you and others ……”
He was going to say that Er et al are bandits.
But the words did not come out of his mouth.
Only when he looked up, he saw Zhu looking at him angrily.
Heart then know, these water thieves are all stubborn, and then had to say, “I and go to report.”
After saying that, he was busy is back to Xu Qi and others, he met Xu Qi, as well as all commanders and all officials.
The crowd was already impatient, and when they saw him coming, Xu Qi was the first to ask, “How was it?”
This reader said worriedly, “Something big has happened.”
Xu Qi frowned, “What’s the big deal?”
“Zhang Anshi and …… are in one place with His Majesty.”
The moment these words came out, there was a dead silence.
Xuchi began to tremble.
Liu Rong, the commander-in-chief on the side, suddenly changed his face.
The few people who came along with his heart were even more frightened.
This result was something that Xu Qi had never expected.
“This …… this ……” Xu Qi’s entire body looked flustered.
“It is no wonder …… that these water thieves, who have come here by starry night, what did they …… say about His Majesty …… How is His Majesty? ”
This reader then said, “His Majesty should be in micro clothes, and should not have brought many guards, and looking at the tone of the water bandits, it seems …… that they have died in the chaos of the army, and His Majesty has collapsed.”
Xu Qi shivered.
Liu Rong, who was on the side, felt even more weak in the legs.
There was dead silence again.
Every single one of them looked as if they were dead.
This is too big.
To put it badly, it’s called regicide by subject.
This alone was enough to make everyone’s hearts turn completely upside down.
Xu Qi was like being struck by lightning, and even felt dizzy in his brain for a while.
But that’s how people are, and at first he couldn’t accept these results in his mind.
But when he accepted the reality, but immediately his eyes twinkled, and finally he tried to put on a calm demeanor, and slowly said, “This is not necessarily a bad thing, the tyrannical Emperor Daxing, was the Han Wu of the current world, militaristic, abusive ministers, and spying on the world’s subjects by being a coolie. Now he has both collapsed …… or the blessing of the world.”
The reader smiled bitterly and said, “The student also said so to that head of the thieves, I saw that those heads of the thieves were in an unusual mood, although these people are thieves, but after all, they are only vermin, with no great ambitions, I’m afraid that this time they will also be scared of them, in order to prevent them from fooling around, so the student will also be so comforting, only… …”
Xu Qi raised his eyebrows, “Just what?”
“It’s just that they said that they wanted Lord Xu and the others, to go and meet them.”
Xu Qi’s face turned blue, snorted coldly, and angrily rebuked, “A group of vermin, what is there to see? Right now, Lao Fu has no time to see them.”
Readers said: “If so, they will refuse to go, Xu Gong, this thing if the stalemate continues, I am afraid …… that something will happen. Now it is already difficult to see, they have entered the city, even if the officials and soldiers are fighting with them, it is difficult to guarantee …… that they will not have the remaining elements to escape from the sky, and then …… they will be afraid to go to other places to sue.”
“Xu Gong, things have come to this point, once the matter of Jiujiangfu leaked, this regicide crime, how can we bear up? The student thought, the more this time, the more should stabilize them, and then Xu Xu Tu Zhi, find the opportunity, they will be completely exhausted, can be foolproof.”
When Xu Qi heard this, he said, “I am an official of the imperial court, how can I see a thief?”
“This is good, just go to Zhaoan in the name of protecting the territory and the people, this is called a commission, and when you finally kill them all, it will be ……”
Xu Qi didn’t continue to listen as he turned his gaze to Liu Rong.
Liu Rong frowned and mused, “This …… is not yet possible ……”
“General Liu agrees?”
“That’s all that’s left at the moment.”
“In that case, you and the others go with the old man.” Obviously, Xu Qi was not at ease.
True as he wanted to kill those thieves to silence them, such a heavenly thing, he could not ensure that he went to meet the thieves single-handedly, and in the end, whether Liu Rong and these people would sell him out.
No one is trustworthy at the moment, and any one of them could end up stabbing you in the back.
Liu Rong immediately showed a difficult face, at this time all of them were in a state of confusion, but they also knew that, according to Xu Qi’s nature, if he and the others did not follow, he naturally refused to go.
It’s just that with these thieves, the longer they drag on in the city, the greater the risk to them.
In the end, Liu Rong nodded heavily and said, “Good, I’ll order my vice general to lead the troops to press the battlefield, and you and I will lead the men to go together, how about it?”
Xu Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then said, “Good spirit.”
The two agreed, and without delay, immediately moved.
It’s just that along the way, both of them were in a state of confusion.
Liu Rong suddenly said coldly, “Lord Xu, what are you worried about?”
Xu Qi, however, said, “Once upon a time, I was worried, but now, on the contrary, I’m not worried.”
“Oh?”
Xu Qi said: “If only a Zhang Anshi died, according to His Majesty’s temperament, I this Buzhengzhi, must die without a burial place. But if his majesty is also big line, although it is also blame, but once the emperor collapsed, the world shook, the chaos of the dynasty, the crown prince ascended to the throne, the foothold has not been stabilized, it is the time to collect the hearts of the world, perhaps …… the old man instead of a ray of hope.”
He exhaled a breath, then said: “Prince leniency, home heart, not to mention …… his side of quite a few of the Zhanzifu belonging to the ministers, originating more or less in Jiangxi, the old man or more or less, there are some relations …… as long as the responsibility for all of this is Push to the head of these water thieves, things …… may really have room to turn around.”
“In that case, His Majesty’s death is a good thing.”
“Of course it’s a good thing, it’s a heavenly good thing, once he dies, I don’t know how many people can have a good night’s sleep.” Xu Qi smiled.
Liu Rong only nodded and did not make a sound ……
…………
And at this time, the Taoist hurried to the old man’s mansion.
When he saw the old man, he said, “The sky is falling, and you are still reading?”
The old man was sitting in the bookstore at this time, his hands were holding a scroll, hearing the voice, before he looked up at the Taoist and smiled, “You have come ……”
The Taoist said with a few moments of anxiety, “It seems that you have grown old, and your ears and eyes no longer work.”
The old man remained subdued and said, “What makes you say that?”
The Daoist frowned, “Such a great event has happened in the city, and you don’t know about it?”
Only then did the old man slowly put down the scroll and said, “Who says I don’t know?”
The Taoist said, “You know this, yet you still have such leisure time?”
The old man laughed: “Everything is in the old man’s grasp, honestly, as you and I play chess in general, the son has not yet fallen, the old man has expected how to win, then …… this victory or defeat win, and what can make people sad and happy?”
The Taoist said, “Did you expect the thieves to enter the city?”
The old man still appeared calmly said: ”The old man did hear some news, and …… the people …… from the Buzheng Envoy Department came to confirm it. This matter is indeed unexpected, but in reason. Those thieves, also did not expect, among the Jiujiang, there is still Zhu Laoshi, at this time fear of crime, naturally …… also kill run to this, they know in their hearts that they may become a scapegoat, so they must have to go to the Xu Qi to settle the score, to ask for a statement.”
“But what does this have to do with Lao Fu? Whether Xu Qi killed all these thieves, or these thieves slaughtered Nanchang, as far as Lao Fu is concerned, Lao Fu’s purpose has already been achieved. Anything else is just minutiae that no longer needs to be valued.”
The Taoist looked at the old man’s calm demeanor and sighed instead, “If you really slaughter Nanchang, you will be the culprit of a thousand years.”
The old man calmly said: “To achieve great things is not to be concerned about small things. What I am going to do is to decide the life and death honor and disgrace of the people of the world, the people of Nanchang, a mere hundred thousand people, even if they die for the future clearing and leveling of the world, it will be a blessing for them.”
“The so-called gentleman labors, the villain labors, by the same token, the gentleman strategizes and aspires for a thousand miles, the villain is inherently ignorant, if we can exchange their molehill bodies for the peace of the world, what is wrong with that?”
The Taoist was speechless for a moment.
It was only after a long time that the Taoist said again, “What are your plans?”
The old man said, “Once Zhu Di died, it is a heavenly opportunity, and at this time …… Nanchang Province, or even the Jiangxi Prefecture, it is actually no longer critical.”
“Oh?” The Taoist looked at him with satisfied suspicion and said, “Where is the most pressing?”
The old man smiled, “In the temple, in the capital! I have already planned and arranged, the power and authority of the world is about to be in my pocket, just wait and see.”
The Daoist apparently didn’t understand the old man’s meaning for a moment, so he frowned and said, “What do you mean by that?”
The old man just smiled faintly and said, “There are some things you’re better off not knowing.”
The Daoist looked fixedly at the old man for half a second, then sighed quietly, “Your mind is so hard to guess.”
“Then there is no need to speculate.” The old man said as his eyes dropped and he continued to hold up his scroll and resumed his perusal.

Xu Qi Ren and others, in a rather happy mood, came to Zhu Di.
Xu Qi sat in the sedan chair, and when it stopped, he lifted the curtain, and with that, tried hard to squeeze out some smiles.
He thought it would be easy to paralyze these water thieves, just make peace and make some promises.
And then, when the time comes, they will be eliminated in one fell swoop.
He smiled, saluted as if it were a ritual, and when he saw the heads of the thieves stationing their horses one by one, his heart was displeased, but he did not care.
He and Liu Rong, leading the officials, approached a little closer.
Only, when it got closer, Xu Qi’s feet suddenly went limp.
And then, the smile on his face became stiff and his face gradually lost its blood color.
Xu Qi was confused.
Liu Rong, who was on the side, had put on a few fierce looks as he pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.
But now seeing Zhu on the horse, people also suddenly numb.
These two are feudal officials, since they have seen the true face of Zhu Di, and this …… person in front of them is not the current son of heaven, and who is it?
For a split second, Xu Qi panicked beyond words.
All of the calculations, all of the scheming, countless thoughts, in this moment, they directly flew away and dissipated.
He only stiffened, and in the depths of one eye, there was nothing but an unrivaled shock and fear.
Zhu had already led the men and came straight on his horse.
Xu Qi and Liu Rong, still remained frozen in place, as if they were frozen in place, not moving at all.
Zhu said, “Coming? Good job coming!”
He rode on a high horse and looked down on Xu Qi and Liu Rong.
It was as if …… the cat was watching two interesting mice.
“Bold.”
Someone bellowed.
This loud cry was like waking everyone up at once.
The crowd looked, but it was behind Liu Rong, that Nanchang governor Liu Lu.
Liu Lu this official position is obviously not senior enough, so in the past days have not been face to face the saint.
He felt that if these thieves were so rampant, if they couldn’t curb their arrogance, it would instead allow these water thieves to take advantage of the situation.
As for Xu Qi and Liu Rong not making a sound at this time, it should be that they are self-reliant, and he, as a subordinate official, should come to do this black face.
So Liu Lu assumed a majestic stance and sternly shouted, “When you see the Minister of Prefecture and the Minister of Capital Command, why don’t you dismount and kneel down.”
Zhu has been shocked by too much and too much today.
Now he was immune to anything absurd.
He only raised his eyes, glanced at this Liu Lu, and said, “Who are you?”
“Nanchang Governor Liu Lu.” Liu Lu continued in a righteous manner, “Don’t think that you can flaunt your weapons just because you have entered the city, this is a place where there is a king’s law.”
Zhu Di said with a few moments of mockery, “Where is there still a king’s law, when did this place become a place with a king’s law?”
Liu Lu was furious, he would not let the thieves get the upper hand on words?
Then said: “Today in front of you, is the king’s law! The Minister of Prefecture is the King’s Law, the Commander-in-Chief is the King’s Law, and this official is the King’s Law in front of you!”
Chu: “……”
Zhu was silenced by the fuck again.
Xu Qi: “……”
This word King’s Law was like a basin of cold water, splashing him awake at once.
Xu Qi’s knees bent, and with a thud, he directly fell to the ground in obeisance.
But when he tried to open his mouth, it just squirmed, but he couldn’t make a sound.
When one’s fear and frustration is at its limit, one can’t even maneuver his or her own body freely.
Liu Lu was shocked, thinking that Xu Qi was having body problems, so he panicked and went forward, “Xu Gong, Xu Gong ……”
He wanted to help Xu Qi up.
At this time …… Xu Qi was completely anxious.
He abruptly flung his sleeve, throwing Liu Lu away before finally roaring out, “Get out!”
Liu Lu: “……”
Xu Qi, who had recovered his voice, again fell to the ground with all his thoughts, and then …… as if with great difficulty, he said, “My …… minister …… Xu Qi …… have seen Your Majesty ……… Long live our Emperor!”
This statement was made.
That all commanding officer Liu Rong also has long been worshipped, white face, stuttering: “I …… minister …… million …… million dead ……”
Liu Lu heard, has been trembling, he incredibly looked at the scene in front of him, and then …… mad as if all of a sudden flung to the ground.
The reader who came with him, suddenly, directly fainted.
Zhu Di looked at this scene, feeling like he was watching a play, and smiled coldly, “It’s a surprise to see me, isn’t it?”
“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 greatly disappointed in your heart, right?”
Xu Qi was already out of his mind, he hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, I don’t know whose sycophancy Your Majesty has listened to, minister …… minister …… ”
Zhu Di seemed to be too lazy to listen to his nonsense, impatiently interrupted, “By now, still want to deny?”
Xu Qi was silent.
If you continue to deny it now, it is really called being shameless.
On the contrary, Liu Rong, who was on the side, immediately said, “Your Majesty, this is all Xu Qi’s idea ……”
Xu Qi listened and gritted his teeth, in fact, he knew that there was no point in distinguishing this now.
Those who came with them were all terrified, and everyone bowed down.
Zhu Di, however, laughed coldly: “It is true that the king loses the enemy, I if you and so on wish, I am afraid that today, you and so on may not be how to pop the crown to celebrate. It is a pity …… that you yourselves do not take a bubble of urine to look in the mirror, rebel against regicide, you are also worthy of it?”
Xu Qi and the others, with their five bodies, couldn’t say a word.
Zhu Di then said: “This world has this ability to regicide, to turn how to turn to your head? The only person in the world who has this kind of wisdom and courage is Zhang Anshi.”
Zhang Anshi was at the back, riding his horse.
Hearing this, his body shook violently, and he was so scared that he almost didn’t fall off his horse at once.
He subconsciously wanted to deny it, but it seemed inappropriate to say that himself at this point.
Xu Qi and the others, each with a face like ashes, still shivered and worshipped.
Zhu continued; “What should be done about the crime of regicide?”
Xu Qi finally trembled his voice and said, “I …… can’t resign from …… my death.”
Zhu Di laughed as he slowly said, “Just ten thousand deaths? You dog-like person, what should I say after all this?”
Xu Qi seemed to finally have some courage in this moment and looked up at Zhu Di.
“It was His Majesty who forced me to do so.”
Xu Qi with a sobbing voice, a person, to this point today, in fact, already know that he is about to lose everything, the only thing he can do, is to want to take this last chance to argue for himself.
“If your majesty is not so, how did I get to this point today, your majesty can know, inside and outside the dynasty, has been the anger of the people ah! I am in Jiangxi, this up and down, who is not mentioned to your majesty, which one is not grumbling?”
“I do these things today, does your majesty think that this is what I alone can do? If it were not for the fact that over the years, the countryside has reached such a state, the world’s aspirants, all of them resentful …… and angry, how could it have come to this day?”
