Chapter 384 Zhou Wang's Reminder
Chapter 384
Zhu Chaoqiu advised them not to fight against the emperor like this. After all, he also inquired about the King of Jin. If he forced himself to live with the emperor, no one would have a good life by then.
"King of Zhou, if we give in this time, do you think about the consequences? Then the emperor's family will fight us, will we still have a chance to resist? If we are not united, we will definitely be reduced to the vassal states. You must consider it clearly.
The affairs of King Jin are not just this matter, but all of us. If you advise everyone not to care about it, then if something happens to you, will you ask everyone the same? If everyone doesn’t care, just watch the emperor deal with us?" King Chu Zhu Xianrong looked at King Zhou and asked.
"But he did ask the King of Jin to himself. He sold pig iron to Tubo. You also know that the situation at that time was very dangerous. This incident was a shame to our Ming Dynasty. It has only been so many years.
At that time, our Ming army killed them and fled thousands of miles. Now they are making a comeback. For the emperor, shouldn't we reflect on how many ministers have been cleaned up in this siege?" Zhu Chaoyou sat there, looking at Zhu Xianrong and asked.
"I said to King Zhou, if you don't care, then forget it. We have to care about this matter!" King Xiang Zhu Houying looked at Zhu Chaoying and started talking.
Zhu Chaoyi heard it and stopped talking. He knew that those people couldn't listen. They just wanted to wrestle the wrist with the emperor, but they didn't evaluate it. Do they have the ability?
In addition, do they have the qualifications to wrestle the wrists with the emperor? If the emperor really wants to deal with these vassal kings, he still needs to do this. He can completely let the army do it directly. It just means that those vassal kings are all their own families now, and it is a bit unreasonable for Jiajing to deal with his own people like this.
Moreover, the King of Zhou knew Jiajing's personality very well. If he really wanted to go against Jiajing, it would only be bad things at that time, and it might be even more troublesome.
"Anyway, I have advised you. If you don't listen, I have no choice. I support Your Majesty in the matter of King Jin, and I will not say anything!" King Zhu Chaoke of Zhou immediately said to them.
They heard it and looked at King Zhou, while some of the other vassal kings also listened to King Zhou. They were not familiar with the affairs of the capital, but they still chose to believe King Zhou. After all, King Zhou has been in the capital, and no one is more familiar with the affairs of the capital than him.
"Since that's the case, King Zhou, you are not feeling well. You'd better go back and rest early!" King Chu Zhu Xianrong looked at Zhu Chaoke very unhappy and said,
Zhu Chaoyi heard this, stood up, smiled bitterly, then bowed to the people, and left himself. The other vassal kings could not help but turn their heads to look at Zhu Xianrong. It was a bit too much to do this. This was the territory of the capital. Zhu Xianrong actually drove the guests, and the other party was also a vassal king, and he was a vassal king of the same level as King Jin, King Qin, and King Chu.
"This!" The other vassal kings also stood up and hesitated. Zhu Chaoyu left without looking back and left the King of Chu's mansion. King Zhou stood on the street, thought for a while, and then walked towards his mansion.
On the way, the King of Zhou said to the manager beside him. "Take my visits and go to the Duke of England's mansion to meet Zhang Hao. If Zhang Hao is not in the mansion, go to the Jinyiwei to take a look. If not, wait at the Duke of England's mansion and say that I will treat him to a meal!"
"Yes, Prince!" The in charge immediately took the King of Zhou's greetings, and Zhang Hao was still with those princes at this moment.
At noon, after lunch at the manor, Zhang Hao went back to rest. He had just arrived at the door. He immediately saw a servant holding a post and shouting to Zhang Hao: "Mr. Lu An, our prince wants to find you!"
When Zhang Hao heard this, he turned his head to look at the person in charge. An Jinyiwei next to him immediately came over with a post. Zhang Hao took the post and opened it and found that it was King Zhou. Of course, Zhang Hao knew that King Zhou had a good relationship with his father, and his previous generations had a good relationship, because the British Duke was stationed in the capital, and the fief of King Zhou was also in the capital.
"How is King Zhou's health? I learned that he was in a bad state before, but now he is better?" Zhang Hao stood there and asked the servant.
"Go back to Mr. Lu'an, this has always been the case. Our prince hopes to treat you to a meal!"
"Well, okay, wait a moment, I'll prepare a gift!" Zhang Hao nodded, entered the mansion first, and after returning to the courtyard, Zhang Hao asked Xu Shiyun to prepare a gift and ask for supplements.
Zhang Hao took the supplements to the King of Zhou's mansion. When the servants reported, Zhang Hao stood here and waited. Looking at the gate of the King of Zhou's mansion, the lacquer of the mansion was a little off. Zhang Hao knew that the King of Zhou's mansion of this generation was in poor health and did not care about the outside. Zhang Hao just didn't know what the King of Zhou was doing to find him, so why did he send his servants to wait at the door of his mansion?
After a while, the gate of the mansion opened, and Zhang Hao saw King Zhou coming out of the mansion under the help of his servants.
"Oh, Your Highness, King Zhou, why did you come out in person?" Zhang Hao saw him like this and immediately greeted him and helped the King Zhou.
"Zhang Hao, I have been looking forward to you coming here. I had wanted to find you to sit there for a long time, but my body, haha, you know too!" King Zhou said to Zhang Hao with a wry smile.
"I know, if you have something to come to me, just send your servants over, why bother to come out in person!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.
"Please inside!" King Zhou looked at Zhang Hao and said, and Zhang Hao also helped King Zhou in.
After arriving inside, King Zhou took Zhang Hao to the study room. The servants immediately came over to serve tea. Zhang Hao held the teacup and placed it on the tea table. Then he looked at King Zhou and asked, "Is the body still not recovering?"
"No, it's probably that's it. I'm looking for you today. I have two things to ask you!" King Zhou said to Zhang Hao.
"You said, I will definitely do it for you if you can. We have so many generations of friendship, so don't talk about what we ask for!" Zhang Hao nodded and looked at King Zhou and said.
"Yes, the first thing I don't say, I guess you know that the King of Chu summoned those vassal kings to put pressure on the emperor's family, hoping that the emperor could release the King of Jin and restore the title of king. I disagree with this matter. I know that the King of Jin has committed the matter. According to the law, the whole family should be executed, but I guess the Emperor will not do this.
After all, they are royal families, and no matter what, they will have to save their lives. I don’t agree with them doing this. I’m driven out by them. I have no choice. In recent years, I’ve been sick and haven’t gone out much. Moreover, my family is gradually withering.
Therefore, people are careless, so you still need to tell the emperor about this matter, so that the emperor can prepare early. In addition, yesterday, King Qin and King Han also persuaded many princes, but those princes may not listen. However, those who truly support King Chu may account for at most half. The emperor must consider it carefully, and they cannot be pressured successfully. Since they have broken the law, they need to be punished!" King Zhou sat there and said to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao nodded, and then said, "Your Highness of the King of Zhou is still very comprehensive, and knowing the general matter. According to the law, there is no problem in killing the whole family, but considering that he is a vassal king, the emperor is hesitating now, but is this King of Chu so arrogant? He is here to preside over this matter?"
"It's not that the King of Chu is arrogant, you know that the King of Chu is unique in his fiefdom, and their King of Chu has a big family business. Everyone is a vassal king. Isn't it just depends on who is more trusted by the emperor and who is richer? You know that in my family? Although the emperor trusts me, my body is not good, so you have to explain this matter clearly to the emperor!" The King of Zhou looked at Zhang Hao with a wry smile and said,
When Zhang Hao heard this, he nodded. He would definitely talk about this.
"By the way, there is another thing, that is, I really need to ask for your help. I know my body, I guess it's troublesome, and I may not be able to survive this year. So if I leave, my child will ask you to take care of you more. They are still young and don't know anything. If they do something wrong in the future, you can take care of it. In addition, it's the matter of my son's title of king. Please help me!" King Zhou looked at Zhang Hao and said seriously.
"No, Your Highness, how old are you? Why do you have such an idea? You are only thirty-four years old this year?" Zhang Hao looked at King Zhou in surprise and asked.
"Yes, it's thirty-four, but my body is just like this. Please trouble you, Mr. Lu An!" King Zhou still looked at Zhang Hao with a wry smile and said.
"Have the imperial physician been here? If not, I'll let Li Yanwen come over and diagnose you?" Zhang Hao sat there, looking at King Zhou and asked.
"I've been interested and I've looked for it all, but Li Yanwen hasn't found it yet. I know he was treating the prince!" King Zhou nodded, still smiling bitterly.
"That's it. I'll let him come over to diagnose you in the afternoon. You are so young, how could you have such an idea?" Zhang Hao immediately said to King Zhou.
"No need, I have also found many famous doctors, and they have no choice. Zhang Hao, please give me these two things. Originally, I wanted to find your father, but your father is in the army. Now that the vassal kings are coming, it is not convenient for him to come back. In addition, you are by the emperor every day, it may be better if you do these two things!" King Zhou said to Zhang Hao.
When Zhang Hao heard this, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, since Your Highness trusts me so much, I have to do it!"
