A eunuch boldly asked in a low voice: "Dadfather-in-law, you said, is it possible or not that what Huang Zicheng and the others said?"
Old Eunuch An sneered: "If you don't follow Huang Zicheng's method, then the world will be peaceful. If you do as they do, then wait and see the fun. Oh, father-in-law, you will be optimistic about what I do now, and you will leave a way out for you. Humph, that Li Feng boy, he is good at doing things. But it's not so easy for my father-in-law, so let's give up on them?" With his hands on his back, Old Eunuch An walked towards the main hall of the banquet. As the chief manager of the palace, he had to appear.
Li Feng walked into the side hall specially arranged for them, and then he saw the kitten standing alone beside an Eight Immortals table. Amid the noise of the eunuch leaders from various royal palaces and guard leaders, he lifted a jar and poured it down. The kitten raised the jar with his eyes as clear as usual and showed it around. A black-faced man suddenly became excited: "See, this brother is indeed a heroic and worthy of being a subordinate of the Yan Prince's Mansion... Come over and bring the silver. I just said, "Is it impossible for this jar to pour him over in this jar?"
Another thin eunuch screamed: "Betting, betting, see how many more jars this brother can drink? One jar is with two, two jar is with five, three jar is with ten, four jar is with twenty..."
Li Feng smiled sinisterly: "Where is Wutanzi?"
The eunuch shouted without raising his head: "Five Tanzi? I'll accompany you for thirty years, as long as someone bets with you."
Li Feng took out two ingots of gold and a wrinkled silver note and threw it on the table, and said with a smile: "I bet he can drink at least five jars without falling down. Who gambles with me? The silver note should be two thousand taels."
The entire side hall suddenly became sensational, and countless royal palaces rushed over and shouted loudly: "We all bet with you, bet with you." A guy shouted in surprise: "This man has drunk three jars, so I don't believe he can drink five jars." You know, although the wine jar in the palace is not the huge thing on the street, there are two kilograms of good spirits in one jar. If a person can drink eight jars, it would be a terrifying number.
Murong Tian sighed, shook his head, searched all over his body, found thirty taels of scattered silver and smashed it on the table: "I can drink five more jars too, and I will not use internal force to force out the alcohol. So many experts present can naturally see it."
The kitten waved his arm excitedly, grabbed it on himself for a long time, and finally took out three copper coins and threw it on the table: "Gaga, I bet I can drink five jars." The three copper plates 'dripped' around the table for a few times, causing a burst of laughter.
Li Feng no longer needs to look at the result. The kitten with inner alchemy is definitely not less than a thousand kilograms of wine to be filled with. He walked slowly to the door of the side hall with his hands on his back, frowned and looked at the heavily guarded main hall. After thinking about it, he secretly turned to the corner behind the side hall, took out a cloth towel to cover his face, twisted his body, turned into a phantom and rushed towards the main hall. Before all the guards discovered him, Li Feng had already reached the towering eaves in the main hall and leaned down. With his hands pressed, a large piece of glazed tiles were immediately sucked by him silently. Li Feng's body gently floated under the tiles, and the glazed tiles were put back to their original position by him.
Crouching on the beam of the hall, Li Feng poked a small hole into the Chengchen ceiling of the hall and his eyes turned over.
Zhu Yunwen was picking up the wine glass and toasting the people in the hall. Old Eunuch An stood beside him with a kind smile, as if he was looking at his own children. Li Feng felt a chill in his heart. Yes, the look of the old Eunuch An looked at Zhu Yunwen as if twelve years ago, the Zhou Yuanwai of Suzhou Prefecture looked at him who was ten years old and bullying Li Feng and Azhu's son. He muttered in his heart: "Isn't this old eunuch? Could it be that Zhu Yunwen is really his son? Well, it's impossible. I'm sorry for age. This old eunuch has been castrated on the battlefield for a long time."
After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Yunmin smiled: "Everyone, it's a great day, don't be too restrictive."
A grandson coughed gently and was about to come forward to a singular speech, but the impatient Zhu Yu had already taken the lead in front of him, and his tall body almost squeezed the grandson into the soup bowl on the table. Zhu Yu said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a love for you. Emperor Taizu made a clan rule that any princes of the vassal princes should not leave their fiefdoms. I have been staying in Yingtian Prefecture for more than a month since Yanjing's funeral. Now the military situation in the Northern Wilderness is urgent. The army under the Yan Prince's Mansion is not led by the army. Chi Menger, the remaining party of the Yuan Meng, is extremely cruel. I am afraid that if I don't go back, the northern border will be unstable."
Zhu Yunmin was stunned. He didn't expect that at the banquet, in front of the civil and military officials of the court, Zhu Yu made such a request. He had no countermeasures for a while and didn't know what to say. Old Eunuch An advised him not to listen to Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai and others. Huang Zicheng and others strongly advised him not to let Zhu Xi and others go back. The two opinions were still rumbling in his head.
After a while of silence, Zhu Yunmin smiled: "This is not a big deal, why should I mention it today?"
Zhu Xi walked out slowly and said after saluting: "Your Majesty, I am here by the order. If I want to leave, I will naturally ask for your Majesty's consent. The military situation in the northern border is probably not optimistic. If my father and second brother lead the troops to the battlefield, I am afraid that it will be able to just reject a group of barbarians such as Chi Menger outside Juyong Pass. The situation is not very good."
Zhu Yunmin frowned: "Is Chi Meng'er so powerful?"
Old Eunuch An coughed and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the news I received. I told you last time that the army of the Yan Palace seemed to be in a bad situation in the war more than two months ago. Zhu Yu, the second prince of the Yan King, is the main general who is now leading the army. If he doesn't go back, he may."
The civil and military ministers and princes of the royal family were staring at Zhu Yunwen to see how he answered. Especially those princes of the royal family were very unrestrained, they were somewhat convincing. If Zhu Yunwen refused to let Zhu Xi and the other three go back at this moment, or deliberately delayed and vaguely, they might have to form an alliance immediately to protect themselves. The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became very stiff, and a heavy pressure instantly drowned out the festive atmosphere.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Xi, who was still blue and black in his eyes, had scorching and black in his mouth, haggard and blind in his eyes, suddenly remembered the performance of the three brothers Zhu Xi before Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit. Old Eunuch An's words rang in his mind again: "How can we say that the descendants of the Zhu family will not rebel against the descendants of the Zhu family, right?"
Zhu Yunmin finally smiled, and Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru's words were immediately thrown behind him. He smiled and said, "Why should three cousins ​​be anxious? I have always known the military situation in the northern border. The Yuanmeng remnants are naturally cruel and violent. My fourth uncle is in charge of Yanjing. I think it's hard for me... It's better for the three cousins ​​to stay in Yanjing for three days, wait for the palace to get some rewards for the army, and then the three cousins ​​will return north again?"
Zhu Xi was very happy and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My minister thanked Your Majesty for your kindness. It is my duty to guard the border for the country." After saying that, Zhu Xi's long and long passages of random words were just a series of words of praise and gratitude to the emperor.
Suddenly, a man shouted in a corner of the hall: "Your Majesty, why did you make such a hasty decision?" The ministers in the hall suddenly moved, whispered to each other, and looked at Fang Xiaoru who was stroking out with a very strange look. Fang Xiaoru looked at Zhu Xi, Zhu Yu glanced at Zhu Yunmin and bowed to him: "Your Majesty, did you already have a vain the day before yesterday? You want to let the three princes of the Prince Yan Mansion and the other princes of the Prince of Yan stay in Yingtian to assist His Majesty in handling government affairs?... Your Majesty also said that after all, they are cousins, are you very relieved to hand over the matter to them?"
Zhu Xi lowered his head, looked at his toes, his face was already covered in purple. He gritted his teeth and swore: "Fang Xiaoru, one day, you will not die a good death."
Zhu Yu looked at Fang Xiaoru calmly and said with a smile: "Mr. Fang doesn't know anything. Zhu Yu, except leading troops to fight, does not have any other affairs. I am afraid that Zhu Yu will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of assisting government affairs. This should be the matter of the auxiliary ministers, right?"
Fang Xiaoru looked at Zhu Li and talked: "It is best for His Highness to lead troops to fight. Now the land of Baiyue in southern Xinjiang is unstable, and the court is lacking in generals to pacify."
Zhu Xi suddenly sneered: "My Lord Fang is for no reason. My second brother leads the capital army to pacify the southern border. Will the northern border be spared? The Yuan and Meng remnants are second. In the Changbai Mountain area in the northeast, the barbarians who claim to be the Later Jin are now quietly rising, and they are invading the border every day. Even if my father has three heads and six arms, can he really be in two places to lead troops to suppress it?... Under the command of my father, my second brother can barely lead troops. Now the northern border is unstable. Why don't the second brother go back to Yanjing, but he goes to the southern border?"
Fang Xiaoru had no idea about military affairs at first, but when he saw Zhu Yunmin agreeing to let Zhu Xi and others leave Beijing three days later, he was in a state of excitement and rushed up to make suggestions. He did not expect this truth at once. Before the matter in northern Xinjiang was calmed down, he transferred Zhu Yu to southern Xinjiang. This was indeed a bit unreasonable. Fang Xiaoru stood there and couldn't speak, with a deep brow, thinking about using some high-sounding words to restore the current unfavorable situation.
Because he knew that as long as Zhu Yunwen made a decision in front of so many people, there would be absolutely no possibility of taking it back, because that would be the imperial edict. He could only take advantage of the moment when Zhu Yunwen just said that, and force Zhu Yunwen to change his words and leave Zhu Xi and the others.
Li Feng lay on the beam, his stomach was so angry that he smoked. He thought to himself: "As a matter of fact, the decision of King Yan was right. The old guy from the Fang family was not a good thing, so he had to kill him. But Fang Xiaoru was even more hateful, why couldn't he kill him? Scholars in the world? What's so great about scholars? Isn't it just a mouth? Like the girls in the brothel, did they just rely on a mouth to make a living? But these scholars use their mouths to confuse the emperor and promote themselves to a higher position. And those girls rely on their mouths to confuse men in the world, with gold and silver rolling."
At that moment, Li Feng felt malicious and suddenly became full of luck. He heard a strange voice through the small hole, hitting an official in a red robe, and bounced back to the densest group of ministers, and suddenly burst out: "Oh, I think of that young lady of the Huang family, but the beauty of the country."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall burst into laughter. Fang Xiaoru's face was pale and his body was shaking; Huang Zicheng's face was nowhere to be looked down upon and shouted, "Forget it, just let it go"; while Zhu Yunwen was so angry that she stood up and roared: "Who is so unreasonable, stand it up for me."
The entire hall suddenly became quiet, and no one dared to say anything. Those ministers looked at me and I looked at you, sweating all over their heads, fearing that the disaster would provoke them.
Zhu Yunwen's hand slowly raised, his fingers trembled slightly, and his body trembled like a dead leaf in the wind. He whispered: "You, you... are ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Do you still look like a minister? Look at you, see who you all looked like just now? Well?... Just now, the voice came from here?" His finger pointed at the ministers gathered in a group. The ministers immediately changed their faces and knelt on the ground.
Zhu Yunmin sneered. He looked at the ministers and suddenly showed a mysterious smile: "All dismissals and expel them. They are not allowed to be hired within three generations."
Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru looked at the dozen or so kneeling ministers, and suddenly their eyes lit up and their waists suddenly stood up. Are those ministers the ones who supported Zhu Di in the past? Their hearts suddenly became bright like a mirror: "Their students are still good, and they are still supporting themselves. These people who support Zhu Di should have been driven away long ago. Hahaha, as soon as these people leave, the empty official positions can be greeted by relatives and friends."
Huang Zicheng even gently wiped his forehead with his sleeve and exclaimed in his heart: "I am a student, I am worthy of being the emperor. I have a good fight and eliminated this hand. Hehe, this group of people didn't expect the emperor to openly use them to attack them, right? This is called Autumn Times settlement, haha."
Zhu Yunwen stood there majesticly and saw the samurai of Jingua taking off the ministers and pulling them down. The ministers kept shouting and complaining, but how could Zhu Yunwen pay attention? He was telling himself: "Are they wronged? They dared to object to my succession to the throne, which is a death sentence... But, should these three cousins ​​be released or kept? If they were let go, it would be a real trouble in the future. After all, the two teachers rarely make mistakes. If they stay, what would the other uncles and brothers think?"
Fang Xiaoru added a sentence without knowing his life and death: "Your Majesty, those ministers dare to laugh loudly in the temple. They should be punished with heavy punishments. There is no rule in the world, so we cannot let them go so easily. The so-called emperor is guilty and the people are the same. These ministers have lost all the face of our court and should be punished seriously."
Huang Zicheng also stood up and said loudly: "Of course, what Lord Fang said is very true."
These two old masters couldn't wait to stand up and show their majesty as emperors, hoping that Zhu Yunwen would act according to their ideas. They hoped that all the civil and military officials of the court would see that Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru are the most powerful people in the court.
It would be fine if they didn't say this. As soon as they said this, Zhu Yunwen thought of Huang Renshan for no reason, and a feeling of greasiness appeared in his heart. He said in a low voice: "I understand. But this is the day I ascend the throne, and it is not appropriate to be punished. It is enough to remove their official positions." Then, he said loudly: "Three days later, I will hold a banquet to see you off for you brothers. I hope you can improve your heart and be good at the people, and build a peaceful and prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty."
Everyone knelt down and shouted long live the mountain. Only Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and Qi Tai stood there, not knowing what to do.
They didn't know that it was Fang Xiaoru's so-called rules and the emperor's people's statement that made Zhu Yunwen make such a decision. Zhu Yunwen thought uncontrollably: "If you, Huang Zicheng, are really a gentleman, how could your eldest son become such a virtue?... The fine of you 100,000 taels of silver is just a less punishment." Although Zhu Yunwen himself understood that such a thought was a rebellious, he really couldn't help but think.
Perhaps, this is the unique idea of ​​Zhu Yunwen, who is in the rebellious period of youth. He has to rely on Fang and Huang for everything, but in fact, he actually doesn't want to do things according to their ideas. This makes him very distressed, but there is no way to do it. Especially when he becomes the emperor, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru become his ministers, he can decide the life and death of the two, which makes it even more rare to let him have the same kind of respect as before in his heart.
Zhu Xi, Zhu Yu and Zhu Ren were smiling. When they heard the decree that Zhu Yunwen said in person, they understood that at least they could leave Yingtian Mansion safely. As for other matters, they would talk about it later when they returned to Yanjing.
Zhu Yu even began to calculate: "The message from his father sent Tenglong's secret spy said that he was ready to ask King Ning to borrow troops. Well, I want to hurry back."
On the crossbar, Li Feng showed a satisfied smile. He finally looked at Fang Xiaoru, who was full of loneliness, retreated from the original path, then turned into virtual electricity, and flew out...
