Under the starry night sky.
Tan Lun and the emperor held a candle and talked at night in Yangxin Hall.
Although returning to the capital to report on his work was a secret order from the Emperor, there were some things that had to be used to deter others so that they couldn't see the truth.
It was late at night in the palace.
All the guards outside the huge Yangxin Palace Hall had been removed.
The only ones left were the Brocade Guards who were loyal to the Emperor.
"State Pillar Duke, how are your preparations for the matter I ordered you to secretly arrange?”
"Your Majesty," Tan Lun cupped his hands and bowed respectfully,"before I entered the capital, I had secretly arranged for the army to be stationed near the capital."”
"A total of over a hundred thousand people."
"More than 100,000…"
Zhu Yijun muttered softly and said,"So there are only 100,000 soldiers guarding the West Ocean?”
Tan Lun shook her head and said respectfully,""Your Majesty, there are still 200,000 soldiers in the West Ocean!”
"Oh?"
Zhu Yijun looked at Tan Lun in surprise and asked in confusion,""Could it be that the State Pillar Duke has been recruiting soldiers and buying horses these years?”
"I dare not. To prevent any accidents from happening in the West Sea, I specially transferred a portion of my troops from the nearby strategic towns on the nine sides before I left.”
Zhu Yijun heard this and nodded in satisfaction."Good! Very good."
"During this period, the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the East Chamber will assist Duke Guozhu in guarding the capital.”
"In addition, in a period of time, many vassal kings will also enter the capital.”
"What?"
It happened so suddenly that Tan Lun wasn't present even though it happened in court today.
"Your Majesty, did they enter the capital by imperial decree?”Tan Lun asked anxiously.
"As ordered! Hehe ~"
A sneer that shouldn't have appeared at this age suddenly appeared on Zhu Yijun's face.
In the hall, Zhu Yijun stared at him and sneered,""These vassal kings are stationed in their fiefs all year round. They seem to be indifferent to the outside world, but in fact, they are also watching every move of the world!”
"I am still young, but I am not a child in their eyes that can be fooled at will!”
"They took the opportunity of my birthday to go to the capital this time to test my bottom line towards them and my determination to carry out the one-whip method!”
At this moment, Tan Lun finally understood why the Emperor wanted to transfer 100,000 troops from the border to guard the capital.
When he looked at the Emperor's deep face, he had a faint illusion in his heart.
Before the vassal king came to the capital to present his gifts, the emperor's trump cards would be revealed one by one!
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I swear to protect Your Majesty's arrangements.”
"If anyone dares to harm Your Majesty, then step over my corpse!”
Tan Lun knelt down on one knee in front of the emperor with determination.
……
Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
Inside the secret chamber.
Zhu Budian looked tenderly at Suxin who was lying on the ice bed.
"Suxin, don't worry."
"No matter what method I use, I will save you.”
"Today, I came to tell you a piece of news!”
"My revenge has already begun!"
"I want everyone who stopped us from being together to pay the price!”
Just as Zhu Buduan was saying this, he suddenly looked outside the secret chamber.
From time to time, Zhu Budian slowly walked out of the secret chamber.
"Master."
"What's the matter?"
The black-clothed man respectfully took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhu Buguan.
As he swept his gaze across the room, a thoughtful look appeared on Zhu Budian's face.
"Master, Tan Lun, one of the Four Pillar Kingdoms, has returned to the capital under the Emperor's secret edict.”
"Should we inform the other vassal kings of this news?”
Zhu Budian held the letter tightly. Suddenly, his palm turned into a ball of fire and burned the letter into ashes.
"Before the emperor takes action against the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, do not act rashly.”
"He's just a little kid! They thought they could do whatever they wanted just because they had the support of the Four Pillar Nation and Hai Rui.”
"Haha! Royal brother! Royal brother! Is this the successor you chose?”
"In my opinion, it's nothing much! Even if he had the support of these people, he was so eager to show off his skills that he would only end up with a bitter ending.”
"However, as your younger brother and his uncle, I am still willing to protect this world for you.”
After saying that, Zhu Budian suddenly looked at this person and said solemnly,"Arrange everything in the capital.”
"In a few days, this marquis will personally go to the capital to pay a visit to this nephew of mine!”
"This subordinate will obey."
Then, the man in black bowed and left.
Above the pavilion, Zhu Budian stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance.
In the eyes of the world, the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa was like the Divine Constabulary, not involved in any power or government affairs.
And he, Ironguts, had the heavy responsibility of guarding the Ming Dynasty.
However! He was the only one who knew about this past.
He hated his current identity, but he had no choice but to use it.
He remembered what his father had said to him back then.
"He's a prince of the Ming Dynasty! How can you marry this woman!"
"We should take the people of the world as our responsibility. We definitely can't abandon the world because of this trivial love affair!”
But without him, what was the point of owning this world?
Father! Since you value this world so much, then I will personally destroy this world!
Zhu Budian thought to himself, and the light in his eyes became sharper.
