Qiu Fu chose not the waterway. If there were a large group of people, the waterway would be faster, but only with a dozen guards, the best choice would be to fast horses...

The best horse went south with dust all the way, without any delay in the middle. Just like the marching back then, even if you were eating, you would just eat a few cakes on the horse's back. When you arrived at the post station, you immediately changed your horse and rested occasionally, three or four hundred miles a day. Sure enough, you arrived in Jinling in just five days.

If an ordinary person is a plain in North China, he can reach his goal by crossing the river. However, it is impossible to reach more than a thousand miles apart without a month of hard work. If the same journey is in Jiangnan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, which are densely packed with water and mountainous mausoleums, he may not be able to reach his goal even in March or May.

But this kind of road trip that cost no matter how much money, five days of effort was the limit. When we reached our goal, Qiu Fu had almost left.

Arriving at Chaoyang Gate, the soldiers guarding the gate saw a cavalry coming and were about to stop and investigate, but the other party ignored it at all. Instead, they rode their horses straight past. The soldiers were so scared that their face turned pale. They felt a strong horse passing by. Before he could curse, a whip whipped hard on his head. The voice was far away: "Dog guy, you're blind, and the left governor's big chariot dares to stop him."

Qiu Fu's sudden arrival was like an earthquake, and it immediately spread in Nanjing.

This kind of news always spread the fastest. Qiu Fu arrived at the Governor's Office of the Five Army immediately, and then negotiated with Zhu Neng for a stick of incense. Then, a group of military officers arrived. These military officers were usually Qiu Fu's old troops. Whenever there was an official army, there would be a mountain. In other words, these people were the backbone of Qiu Fu's mountain.

Qiu Fu was not kind to them, and directly scolded them, unable to raise their heads. He said that they were used to being lazy and had a simple meal. If they dared to do things perfunctorily and immediately dismissed from their posts, it would be a wonder that they would have to express their kindness at that time.

These people naturally said obediently, and they didn't dare to show off their anger. They were scolded and left immediately.

Then other generals came to pay their respects. Qiu Fu's attitude towards these "outsiders", such as Zhang Furen, was kind and friendly. After reading out His Majesty's order to control the governor's office of the Five Army and control the army and horses in the capital, he tried his best to prevent them and not make any mistakes.

Of course, these moves have been passed to the cabinet and to the East Palace.

The cabinet was already shocked. Xie Jin sat in the payroll room, and he wrote a memorial as usual. All of this seemed extremely calm, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, the others naturally felt more at ease and did not mention it when they worked.

Not long after, a eunuch suddenly came to the cabinet. The eunuch was naturally polite and just asked: "Is Chen Feng, a Hanlin Attendant?"

Although there are many ministers in the cabinet, many imperial edicts are drawn up, and ministers may not have time to have time, so they will inevitably let a few Hanlins wait here, which is the so-called waiting edict. In fact, this kind of Hanlin is not only expensive, but most of them will not have too bad luck. They are generally trained as successors to cabinet ministers.

Editor Chen is one of them. Although he is young, he has a bright future. Now he is staying in the cabinet every day, but he is nothing to do, just helping the ministers do some chores such as moistening the pen.

When Chen heard that an eunuch was looking for him, Editor Chen was a little surprised and couldn't help but come out and said to the eunuch: "I don't know what my father-in-law is asking for."

The eunuch still laughed and said, "You will know when you leave the cabinet."

Chen Feng felt strange and refused, so he couldn't help but look at the cabinet ministers in several public rooms. Seeing that there was no movement there, he had to say, "Okay."

As soon as Chen Feng went out, there were several burly generals waiting outside. The eunuch looked fierce and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order to edit Chen Feng. If you have any virtue, how can you stay in the temple? Come and take it down and investigate Jiao Dali Temple."

After hearing this, several great generals were ready. One of them pulled him, the other took his black veil, and the others pushed and shoved him. Chen Feng was naturally dissatisfied and shouted: "What's my fault? How can you do this?"

Bang...

A slap was directly on his face.

The eunuch said in a sinister way: "Take it away..."

A slap had already made Chen Feng feel listless, so there was no power to resist.

No one in the cabinet could hear such a big noise outside. Even Xie Jin could hear it clearly. He was still calm, just holding the pen hand and trembled slightly. A trace of fear passed through his eyes in the complexity.

The words "Ministry of Revenue Verification and Decision" that should have been drafted in the memorial were written and then considered...

Outside the cabinet, there was a strong wind, and it was as strong as a storm, rolling up dark clouds, and the sky suddenly became dim.

The cabinet was very quiet, and the needles could be heard, and even the occasional coughing sounds disappeared.

Xie Jin picked up another memorial, held his hand and moved to the oil lamp. The oil lamp was a bit slow, reflecting his pretended calm face, which had a little more redness. His eyes looking at the memorial, were as dark as the sky outside.

Eastern Palace.

Zhu Gaochi had already received the news. He was holding the teacup, but the teacup was trembling slightly. He barely took a bite and couldn't taste the taste. He just sat quietly without moving.

"Your Highness, the Holy Order is here."

Zhu Gaochi said in disguise, nodded slightly, and then left his seat and stood up.

Here in the Eastern Palace, the middle gate was opened and the incense table was set up. The eunuch who had already passed the imperial edict had arrived. The eunuch was still polite to the prince. He first stepped forward to salute, but Zhu Gaochi did not dare to accept it. He hurriedly avoided it. He immediately bowed to the ground and said, "My son Zhu Gaochi, wait for the imperial edict."

The eunuch was bored, but he was not in a hurry and went to open the imperial edict, saying, "The Emperor Chengyun of Heaven, the imperial edict said: Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi was ordered to supervise the country, and he has always been diligent. I have always known his filial piety. Now that I heard that the prince was sick, I was worried, even if I ordered the imperial physician to inspect.................. My world is like your world. Now I am sick, but the state affairs must not be left unattended for a day. The military and political affairs of the capital will still be entrusted to you..."

The eunuch recited this "grace order" word by word.

The front of the "Grand Imperial" is the care for the prince, just like an ordinary father, who cares about his son. As for the latter, it explains the pros and cons, telling Zhu Gaochi that state affairs are the most important. Although he is in poor health, he cannot entrust others to do national affairs. Zhu Gaochi must continue to supervise the country.

Such a kindness would be fine if it was normal. But now...

Zhu Gaochi, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled slightly, and his tears blurred. When he heard that he was the world, he held his arms and began to feel a little weak and out of control. His face had already become pale as paper and sweating like rain.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..."

After the eunuch finished reciting, he saw that Zhu Gaochi had almost become wailed and could not help but scream.

Zhu Gaochi came to his senses, raised his head, his face was blue, and then stood up in a embarrassing manner, and said with a forced smile: "Son minister...Son minister thanked his father for his grace. The father treated his son minister with his grace as heavy as a mountain... The grace of raising him cannot be repaid, he can only be crushed to pieces and share his worries for his king and father..."

He received the imperial edict and sent away the eunuch who was delivering the eunuch. As soon as the eunuch left, he staggered.

When the inner officials of the Eastern Palace saw that it was not good, they quickly stepped up to support Zhu Gaochi. Several people helped Zhu Gaochi to the bedroom to rest.

After hearing the news, the saint Zhu Zhanji rushed over. When he saw Zhu Gaochi on the sickbed, he just took a look and realized that his father was really sick. Zhu Zhanji burst into tears and said, "Father, why bother... Why do you have to do this... In the imperial edict..."

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand powerlessly, stepped back from his left and right, looked at Zhu Zhanji deeply, and said, "Father and son have doubts to this point, and to this point...being father...being father...being father...being father is heartbroken, heartbroken. Zhanji...you come, father wants to tell you, to explain to you, from now on...this time is not easy...being father's life is not long, can't last long...he...how can you get to this situation? How can you get to this situation? Zhanji...In the future, study in the East Palace with peace of mind, don't go out, don't make friends with ministers again, except for a few teachers who teach, no one will meet. From then on, the East Palace will cut off its relationship with the outside...that something happens...that something happens...you wait and see...father and son...our surname is Zhu, how can there be any father and son..."

Seeing that his father was incoherent, Zhu Zhanji quickly grabbed Zhu Gaochi's hand and said, "Things are not so bad... It's not so bad yet... Your Majesty is just blinded by villains. Your Majesty will sooner or later repent."
