Act within your capabilities

But the more Zhu Shangbing acted like this, the more he felt congested and panicked. He felt as if he was about to suffocate. No matter how much he opened his mouth and gasped for air, it was useless.

This is the truth powder.

Keep the truth in your heart and never spit it out.

"Emperor..."

"Emperor..."

Zhu Shangbing tried his best to cover his eyes, his eyes were red and cracked.

Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore.

It was completely shouted out in the form of a roar.

"The day the emperor dies will be the day my father ascends the throne!"

Almost instantly, Zhu Yuanzhang rose to his feet.

"Arrogant!"

The officials were so frightened that they all knelt down and kowtowed. Zhu Gaosui, who was lying on the ground, thought to himself, isn't this my line...

"cut!"

Zhu Yuanzhang violently threw the wine glass in front of the case, and the wine glass fell right in front of Zhu Shangbing. At this moment, Zhu Shangbing was completely exhausted and was lying on the ground shaking crazily, with big beads of sweat rolling to the ground.

He looked towards his left side, where Zhu Yunwen was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

At this glance, Zhu Yunwen almost peeed. He thought to himself, brother, please don't get involved with me right now!

"Grandfather, please calm down. It's not worth destroying the dragon's body for this turtle grandson."

"Since the grandson is currently in charge of the country, then this matter should be left to the grandson to handle."

Zhu Xiongying stood up.

If Lao Zhu has expressed his attitude, then his goal has been achieved.

The execution of Zhu Shangbing in the palace was indeed Zhu Xiongying's original idea. He hoped to provoke the King of Qin to rebel and thus kick off the reduction of the vassal state.

After all, both Lao Zhu and A Biao are still alive, so it will be much smoother to reduce the vassal status by yourself.

Just in case.

Zhu Shangbing was beheaded, and if the King of Qin Zhu Feng did not fight back, it would be in vain.

So we have to think of a more complete solution.

"Um."

Lao Zhu nodded, his imperial eyes swept over the ministers and officials, especially the clan members, and then he stood up with the help of the palace servants and slowly walked out of Fengtian Palace.

In the entire Fengtian Hall, all the officials and clans were kneeling and kowtow.

Zhu Xiongying stood in the palace, looking down at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on the trembling Zhu Shangbing.

"All the titles of Zhu Shangbing were removed and he was demoted to a commoner."

The moment these words came out, Zhu Shangbing's nervous heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a reduction of rank.

However.

"He is being held in a prison and awaiting execution."

The moment Zhu Xiongying's second sentence came out, Zhu Shangbing was instantly desperate. After despair, he became mad. In addition, he was a pervert in the first place, so he rushed forward violently.

If Jinwu Guards hadn't held him tightly, he might have rushed directly to the Jinluan Palace to fight Zhu Xiongying.

"Zhu Xiongying, you used magic on me!"

"You must die a good death!"

He no longer concealed his inner anger and cursed loudly.

He felt aggrieved because what he wanted to say was completely opposite to what he said.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. In the end, he could only boil it down to the word "demon".

Zhu Xiongying waved his hand, and Jin Wuwei took the order to escort Zhu Shangbing out in a crazy state.

Now that things have turned out like this, there is no need to continue this Tian'en Banquet.

"Gu knows that Gu's words today will fall into the ears of Gu's uncles."

"In that case, please give me a word of advice."

Zhu Xiongying's eyes fell on the envoys of the kings and the princes such as Zhu Ji, Xi, and Zhu Gaosui. These people were all nervous and listened with their ears pricked up.

"I am not Jin Hui, but you will do what you can according to your ability."

After that, Zhu Xiongying walked through the kneeling officials and clans and went directly out of Fengtian Hall.

"come over."

Eunuch Xiaobao, who had been waiting outside the palace, ran over quickly.

"Pass the solitary decree and immediately summon the Lanyu Changsheng Palace to discuss matters."

There was a rare hint of seriousness in Zhu Xiongying's eyes.

When he does things, he always strikes first.

To deal with the pervert King Zhu Xi of Qin, it is natural that the Jingying army cannot be used, and the Jingying army is currently being reorganized, so it is inconvenient to use it.

But military matters should not be underestimated.

You also need to use a knife to kill a chicken.

"According to the decree."

Eunuch Xiaobao received the order and ran quickly.

Just a few seconds after leaving the Fengtian Palace, Song Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, blocked Zhu Xiongying.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has summoned you."

Zhu Xiongying was not surprised. If something like this happened, Lao Zhu would definitely have a private chat with him.

Qianqing Palace, Nuange.

Lao Zhu was lying on the couch, his face looking extremely ugly.

One is because of illness, and the other is because of the Qi of Fengtian Palace just now.

"My grandson pays homage to Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Xiongying entered the Nuan Pavilion, knelt down and kowtowed in a polite manner.

"come over."

Lao Zhu waved to Zhu Xiongying. Although he was weak, whenever he saw Zhu Xiongying, the waning old man would always have a kind smile on his face.

Zhu Xiongying got up and walked to the couch. A palace official had already moved a chair.

"Grandpa Huang, eat this."

Like a magic trick, Zhu Xiongying had another thumb-sized golden pill in his hand.

This pill is called the Resurrection Pill, and it is extremely precious even to Zhu Xiongying. Generally, the pills obtained from completing cultivation or elixir refining tasks are given in batches, but this Resurrection Pill is only one pill at a time, and it is extremely rare. .

After doing missions for so many years, Zhu Xiongying only had three pills in stock, and he kept them as a way to protect his life.

As for the efficacy of the medicine, as long as the person still has breath, this elixir can save the person.

"good."

Lao Zhu did not hesitate, took the golden pill, and swallowed it along with the dew presented by the palace attendant.

The elixir that could save people's lives entered Lao Zhu's body, and it only allowed Lao Zhu to temporarily recover his energy and energy, and avoid the pain and torture.

"Boy, you have so many weird things, but they are of some use. Now I feel like I have some strength again."

Lao Zhu recovered a lot and stood up with a smile.

"Let's go and take a walk with Grandpa Huang."

The grandfather and grandson walked out of the Nuan Pavilion. Zhu Xiongying supported Lao Zhu and walked slowly on the covered bridge of Qianqing Palace, followed by a series of palace people about half a foot away.

When he came to a lotus pond, Lao Zhu stopped.

I asked abruptly.

"Has it been decided?"

Lao Zhu looked at the lotus pond in front of him, with a hint of late-life compassion in his tone. He valued blood and family ties throughout his life, and the last thing he wanted to see was his roommates fighting each other, especially when he was still alive.

He did not ask how Zhu Xiongying managed to get Zhu Shangbing to reveal his assassination and rebellion intentions in the palace, because these were not important to Lao Zhu.

On the contrary, he was very happy that Zhu Xiongying had such means.

In Lao Zhu's view, if you want to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you will not be able to sit still without using your own methods.
