Chapter 97 Deterrence
This is already obvious. That little bastard Zhu Yunwen is warning himself not to be arrogant, to put his tail between his legs and to behave honestly.
Zhu Song clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said coldly: "What a big longevity lock. My father-in-law, dare I ask which of the adults in the palace meant it?"
The father-in-law who declared the decree smiled when he heard this, and said with some gloating.
"Your Highness, where is your lord? This is the emperor's wish. The emperor wants this slave to see the young prince wearing this longevity lock, which means longevity and longevity!"
"Yeah?"
Zhu Song took out a short knife from his arms.
The eunuch who announced the decree was so frightened that he took a few steps back. The guard in golden clothes beside him immediately blocked the father-in-law who announced the decree.
The guards in the palace also immediately picked up weapons and surrounded them one after another. Many of them were generals from Kaiyuan City. They came to the palace to attend the banquet without weapons, but they surrounded them one by one.
, staring fiercely at the father-in-law who announced the decree.
Zhu Song looked around and saw the tense situation, making a deep voice and speaking majestically.
"What are you doing? Give me the weapons and put them away! I've turned against you!"
The guards of the palace uniformly withdrew their weapons.
Zhu Song pulled out his short knife and cut off a piece of meat from the tender lamb leg roasted in front of him. He didn't dip it in anything. The roasted, sizzling and oily meat was stuck on the knife. Zhu Song held up the knife and held it.
A piece of meat, step by step, walked towards the father-in-law who announced the decree.
Zhu Song took a step forward, and the Jin Yiwei who was protecting the father-in-law also took a step back until they bumped into a big black man guarding the door.
The imperial guards at the back also became nervous instantly. The big black man had a beard on his face and a leopard head with ringed eyes. Against the dark face, his pupils looked extremely small, quite like the reincarnation of an evil ghost in a painting.
The father-in-law of the rice paper was so frightened that he almost peed his pants and asked tremblingly.
"Your Highness...what do you want to do?"
Zhu Song said with a stiff expression: "Of course I want to treat my father-in-law to a bite of my fresh mutton from Liaodong. How can I justify my father-in-law coming all the way and not having a taste of my fresh mutton from Liaodong? Since my father-in-law is not willing to give this to me.
To save face, if you want to sit down and have a drink at my palace, then please eat this mouthful of mutton!"
The two Jinyi guards who were guarding in front of Duke Xuanzhi had half of their knives drawn out at this time, but Zhu Song was not afraid of them at all. He held up the short knife and mutton in his hands, drilled into their heads, and handed it to Duke Xuanzhi.
In front of my father-in-law.
"Please enjoy, father-in-law!"
The father-in-law who declared the decree was trembling with fear. He wanted to reach out and take off the piece of mutton, but Zhu Song stared back. He had no choice but to open his mouth and poke his head over.
Zhu Song specially picked a piece of mutton that had not been sprinkled with salt, and it was roasted half-cooked at this time. There was a piece of meat on it that was light red. The mutton smell was very strong.
The eunuch endured the smell of mutton and looked at the cold light reflected from the short knife. He felt that his neck was also very cold, as if what was pierced by the knife was not mutton but his own neck.
The old eunuch bit the mutton, and Zhu Song withdrew the knife very slowly.
Zhu Song retracted the knife, looked at the old eunuch and said, "Father-in-law, please eat, eat!"
The father-in-law endured the smell, took a few bites of the mutton, and finally swallowed it almost whole. The mutton was roasted very hot, which made his mouth and esophagus extremely painful, but he did not dare to say anything.
Seeing that Zhu Song had withdrawn his sword, the Jinyi guards also put their swords back into their scabbards.
Zhu Song waved his hand, and Zhang Tiezhu let him out of the palace gate. The eunuch really didn't want to stay here anymore, and was about to leave in a hurry. At this moment, Zhu Song stopped him again.
"Wait a minute, father-in-law. I don't know the name of this father-in-law yet. From now on, when I return to Beijing, I will visit my father-in-law often!"
After hearing the decree, the father-in-law was shocked, then turned his head, raised his hands and said respectfully.
"Your Highness, this servant is just a eunuch. I am afraid of dirtying His Highness's ears by naming him!"
Zhu Song looked at the eunuch and smiled slightly. Although he was smiling, it was scary no matter how he looked at it.
"What are you talking about, father-in-law? In the future, when I return to Beijing, I may have to rely on my father-in-law. Why should my father-in-law be so polite? Or are you saying that he looks down on me and is unwilling to tell me his name?"
The father-in-law was trembling with fright. He really couldn't find any reason to continue to evade. He had no choice but to say: "Your Highness, my name is Song Wei."
When Zhu Song heard the word "Song" in front of him, he thought this guy was called Song Zhong, but then he thought about it and thought that this guy probably wasn't. After all, Song Zhong died at the hands of King Yan.
After the old eunuch finished reciting the name, seeing that King Han was silent, he hurriedly climbed onto the carriage, urging the people to leave quickly, hurry up, and don't delay here.
After the old lady left, Zhu Song immediately came back and took off the huge longevity lock from his son's body. The son was so proud that he didn't cry or make a fuss after the longevity lock was hung up.
Zhu Song looked at the huge longevity lock in his hand, and Zhu Yunwen was really thoughtful.
Zhu Song ordered people to put away the longevity lock, and then turned to everyone present and said: "I'm sorry, everyone, there was a little incident just now. Let's sit down and continue to eat and drink. We will not return until we are drunk today!
"
…
After leaving the Han Palace, eunuch Song Wei went straight to the Kaiyuan Capital Command Department.
When Song Wei arrived at the Capital Commander's Office, he got off the carriage and went straight to the Yamen. At this moment, Li Rong had been waiting in the lobby of the Capital Commander's Office for a long time.
When Li Rong saw Song Wei leaving, he came in and stood up, cupping his hands and saying, "Eunuch Song, how did His Highness King Han react?"
Song Wei wiped the sweat from his head, and then told everything about what happened in Prince Han's Mansion, how Prince Han pulled out the dagger, how he cut off a piece of mutton that was smelly and fishy, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Li Rong frowned after hearing this.
"You actually don't even pretend. It's a gift from His Majesty. Even if his child feels uncomfortable, he feels bad, but as a minister, he still has to smile and accept the order!"
Song Wei said: "Master Li, do you mean to send troops to surround Prince Han's Mansion?"
Li Rong looked up at Song Wei.
"Have you brought His Majesty's wishes?"
Song Wei shook his head: "We don't have His Majesty's will in our family, but isn't His Majesty now cutting down the vassals? Those vassal kings will be dealt with sooner or later. We think that the King of Han is so bold, which is irrelevant.
