Chapter 286 Miaojin

On the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Yongle, Jing Qing was arrested and imprisoned.

Zhu Di received imperial congratulations at the Fengtian Palace, and a banquet was held to honor Jing Nan's martial arts. The empress also announced that the eldest daughter of the ancestral clan, the concubine and others gave a banquet in the Kun Palace in the evening. The keen people smelled a different signal.

On this day, Jiang Xinghuo, Duke Rong Yao Guangxiao, and the second prince Zhu Gaoxu arrived in Nanjing.

"Mr. Jiang, the palace city is ahead," Zhu Gaoxu's naive voice echoed in his ears.

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyes and looked deeply.

He saw the towering, majestic buildings in front of him, shining in the sunlight, and he couldn't help but feel the torrent of history and the memory of the ruins of the three main halls in later generations, which were so dilapidated that only the foundations were left.

There is a serious sense of dislocation on the ground.

It was as if he was alone in the world, and thousands of years had passed suddenly.

"Right."

Jiang Xinghuo's mind seemed to have a flash of light, as if he remembered something. He turned to look at Yao Guangxiao, who still had a bald head and a ring scar, and said.

"Can you send someone to investigate a cemetery in Taiyuan, Shanxi? I ​​will draw the specific location. In addition, there is also one in Henan, but it may not be easy to excavate."

"It's easy."

Dao Yan changed into a unicorn suit. Yao Guangxiao nodded slightly and tried to turn the rosary beads that made him feel at ease in his hand habitually, but they couldn't find them. Maybe this was the price of reentering the world and getting involved in the temple turmoil.

Yao Guangxiao remained calm, but as a smart man like him, he almost instantly thought that Jiang Xinghuo was most likely looking for traces of his previous reincarnations.

After saying this, the carriage drove slowly towards the magnificent palace gate.

At this point, except for Empress Xu, no matter what their status is, even the second prince Zhu Gaoxu or Rong Guogong Daoyan can only enter the palace on foot without the emperor's permission.

From this we can see how honorable the "riding in the palace city" was among the benefits Zhu Di offered to Jiang Xinghuo.

However, this time he just returned to Beijing and was directly involved in the whirlpool. Jiang Xinghuo did not plan to ride alone. It would be more convenient to enter the palace with Zhu Gaoxu and Yao Guangxiao.

"drive!"

However, the sound of rapid horse hooves broke the silence, and then several military horses were seen galloping across Tianjie, crossing the Wulong Bridge and heading straight for the gate of the palace city.

"This is?"

Jiang Xinghuo saw this scene as soon as he stepped off the carriage.

Zhu Gaoxu explained: "Mr. Jiang doesn't know something. They are all messengers from the Zhongyi Guards to convey military information."

After Jiang Xinghuo heard this, he raised the curtain and looked out. Sure enough, he saw that the riders on the horses all had conspicuous flags on their backs. One of them even took out his waistband and waved it to prove his identity.

Only one messenger was allowed to ride his horse into the palace, and the rest unsaddled and dismounted to rest.

"What happened?" Zhu Gaoxu walked over and asked deeply.

Seeing that it was the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, these loyal and righteous guardsmen who had lived and died with him during the Jingnan hesitated for a moment and revealed it.

"——Urgent report from Annan."

"I see."

Knowing that the other party should not say too much, Zhu Gaoxu withdrew his gaze, turned back to Jiang Xinghuo, and wanted to enter the palace together.

However, at this moment, a clear and melodious sound of bells came from not far away. Jiang Xinghuo and the others looked back, and then they noticed that it turned out to be a luxurious and luxurious sedan chair. The sedan chair was surrounded by red silk, and it was covered with red silk.

Embroidered with the pattern of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, it is extremely graceful and luxurious.

Before and after the sedan chair was driven out, there were palace servants holding six-fold barriers (movable screens used to block passers-by's view of noble women). They were also made of red silk and painted with rising and falling phoenixes and clouds. The sound of bells was hanging from the long ribbons.

The barrier pole is uploaded and serves as a warning to passers-by.

"My son, please see your mother." A flattering smile appeared on Zhu Gaoxu's face at the right time.

"I pay my respects to the Queen."

Yao Guangxiao also saluted symbolically, and everyone around him knelt down in unison.

"Forgive me." A soft female voice came from the sedan chair. It was Empress Xu who had returned from her natal home, Duke Wei's mansion.

Next to the sedan chair stood two rows of palace ladies and guards, turning a blind eye to Zhu Gaoxu who came up to him.

"Mother, I will take you to the palace." Zhu Gaoxu looked up and said with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, he heard Empress Xu's voice coming from the sedan again: "Xu'er, please invite Mr. Jiang over. I have admired his name for a long time, but I have never seen him."

"But..." Zhu Gaoxu hesitated, glancing at the sedan chair.

"Are the wings hard?" The tone of the man in the sedan suddenly turned cold.

Zhu Gaoxu's face turned pale and he quickly complained: "I know my mistake, I will go now."

Both Jiang Xinghuo and Dao Yan could hear the conversation between the two.

After Zhu Gaoxu gave him some guidance, Jiang Xinghuo calmly bowed his hands and said, "Greetings to the Queen."

"Mr. Jiang, there is no need to be polite."

However, however.

According to the rules, Jiang Xinghuo could not raise his head at this time. The so-called "look" was a unilateral look by the queen, not two people looking at each other.

But Jiang Xinghuo doesn’t know!

Jiang Xinghuo subconsciously raised his eyes, but saw that the sedan curtain in front of him was slightly opened, and he saw a girl about eighteen or nineteen years old sticking her head out of the sedan. She was obviously not Queen Xu.

The girl has fair and tender skin, elegant and delicate facial features, and a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, giving people a kind and gentle feeling.

She was sitting in the sedan chair, her skirt fluttering in the wind, her thick black silk hair falling down her shoulders, and her whole person exuding a touch of softness.

"Yeah!" The voice was soft and clear.

There was silence for a while.

"My little sister is rude, don't blame Mr. Jiang."

Finally, Queen Xu in the sedan chair spoke.

"The people in the mountains and wilds have lost their etiquette. I hope the Queen will not blame you." Jiang Xinghuo said with a sincere attitude, cupping his fists.

This time it was the real Queen Xu who came forward and met Jiang Xinghuo openly.

Queen Xu opened the sedan curtain, looked at Jiang Xinghuo meaningfully for a moment, pursed her lips and smiled, closed the sedan curtain again, and said softly: "Those who don't know are not guilty."

After saying that, the sedan carriage continued to move forward and soon disappeared around the corner of Miyagi City.

A small head was exposed in the five-mountain screen with golden phoenixes, phoenix and clouds painted in red on the sedan chair. Empress Xu Miaoyun leaned on the red brocade mat with golden and colorful carvings on the back, and flicked her sister's forehead lazily.

"Satisfied?"

They say they are sisters, but Xu Miaoyun is Xu Da's eldest daughter, born in the 22nd year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty, and Xu Miaojin is the youngest daughter, born in the 13th year of Hongwu, by Xu Da's stepmother. Xu Da died of illness when she was five years old

, has always grown up under the care of older brothers and sisters.

Xu Miaoyun, who is twenty years older, is less like a sister and more like a mother to her younger sister Xu Miaojin.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Miaojin actually had to get married at the age of eighteen at the latest. Unfortunately, when Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, her second sister, Princess Dai, was arrested, and her eldest sister, Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun, was wanted by the emperor. People in the Duke of Wei were panicked. Xu Miaojin

The matter of getting married was thus delayed.

Now that King Yan has conquered the country, Xu Miaoyun, who has changed from Princess Yan to Queen, is naturally worried about her younger sister's marriage. She gives a banquet to the clan girls and married women in the evening. On the one hand, it is to win over the hearts of the ministers for Zhu Di. On the other hand, she also has this consideration.

.

But now Jiang Xinghuo happened to be back in Beijing, and Empress Xu had an impromptu idea, resulting in this slightly awkward meeting.

"He is quite handsome and handsome, with a certain air of grace and grace, but unfortunately he is a bit ignorant of etiquette." Xu Miaojin commented.

Empress Xu sighed: "You underestimate him too much. Mr. Jiang is not a man from the mountains. He is like an immortal when he is on the mountainside. This is a handsome man who has been rare to see for hundreds of years. His ability is far better than

Anyone in the world."

"More capable than my brother-in-law?"

Xu Miaojin was stunned and asked.

Queen Xu didn't want to explain more, she just said: "You will know in the future."

"Asshole!"

"Zheng He, prepare the ship! I am going to teach this old monkey like Annan and Hu Jiya a lesson!"

In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Di looked at Kanyu Tu with his hands on his hips and said angrily.

However, Zheng He beside him clearly saw a hint of secret joy in the wrinkles at the corners of Zhu Di's eyes.

The opportunity for war finally came.

This means that a few months before Zheng He returned the throne, the central government of the Ming Dynasty had vaguely noticed something was wrong with the Annan envoy.

After Zhu Di ended the Fengtian Jingnan and ascended the throne, according to the traditional vassal system, the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty sent messages to the vassal states. North Korea and Annan, the two land bordering vassal states, were the first to come to pay homage, while Annan and Chen Chao
