Chapter 255 There is no one who can help someone in times of need
Zhu Yunwen thought hard for a long time, still unable to understand what his fourth uncle meant by doing this. When he looked up and saw Huang Guan still standing in front of him, he immediately thought that he should find someone to discuss it with, so he immediately ordered Xiao Linzi: "Go quickly, summon the party immediately
Bachelor's degree, Bachelor Huang, Minister of War Qi Tai, Imperial Envoy Jing Qing and Lian Zining came to see me at the Zhengxin Hall."
When Huang Guan heard this, he quickly leaned forward and said, "I beg you to leave."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, you also stay and discuss things together. Come, you first have a look at Yan Fan's memorial to see what his intention is."
Zhu Yunwen's team of confidants has now been further expanded. Except for Huang Zicheng, the emperor's disciple, who has been his confidant for a long time, these people were all promoted by him after he ascended the throne, so they are all the people he trusts most.
After watching King Yan's memorial, Huang pondered: "Sacrifice and sweep the Xiaoling Mausoleum? King Yan will not be unaware of the court's actions. At this critical moment, King Yan actually wants to return to the capital to worship and sweep the Xiaoling Mausoleum? This statement is not credible.
King Yan must have some other purpose."
Zhu Yunwen said: "Yes, I think so too. In your opinion, what does King Yan want to do?"
Huang Guan hesitated and said: "This, I am ignorant and have never understood King Yan, so I really can't guess."
After a while, several close relatives arrived one after another. Zhu Yunwen passed the memorial of King Yan to them. After reading the memorial of King Yan, Qi Tai and Jing Qing danced with their hands and feet, and were overjoyed. Qi Tai said continuously:
"Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty, King Yan has returned to the capital. This is a good opportunity given to the emperor by God. Since he wants to throw himself into the trap of the capital, the emperor must not let him go!"
Jing Qing also said: "Exactly, King Yan has done his own evil and will not survive. The emperor should immediately agree to allow him to return to the capital. As soon as he enters Nanjing City, he will be a bird in the net and a turtle in the urn, and he will never be able to escape."
Lian Zining was puzzled. He really couldn't understand how King Yan could be so stupid as to come to Beijing at this time. After hesitating for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, could this be King Yan's plan to test the Emperor? Seeing the military and political affairs in Peking.
The heads of various departments in the judicial department were changed frequently. King Yan thought he was guilty of being a thief. From my point of view, King Yan was testing the emperor's will by returning to the capital to offer sacrifices."
Huang Zicheng said flatly: "Yes, if the emperor does not allow him to return to Beijing, he will know that the emperor is about to take action, so he will jump over the wall and immediately rebel. If the emperor allows him to return to Beijing, hey! I'm afraid he will never dare to come. Then he will
He will find an excuse such as suddenly contracting a serious illness, continue to delay, and plan a rebellion. Moreover, it can also trap the emperor in a ruthless, unjust, unkind and unfilial place, and he will be punished!"
Fang Xiaoru pondered and said: "Your Majesty, no matter what King Yan's intentions are, I feel that the Emperor should agree to him. Last year, the late Emperor passed away. Because the world was uncertain, in order to seek stability, the Emperor did not allow the kings to return to the capital for the funeral. Now the Emperor has firmly taken the throne.
, supported by the army and the people, and surrendered by all the barbarians, why fear a vassal king? If he did not agree to King Yan's filial piety towards the late emperor, it would actually fulfill his reputation. For the sake of justice, he had to agree. If the emperor agreed to let him return to the capital, he would not
If he dares to come, that's his business. If he dares to come, then everything is under our control. If he wants to kill or behead him, it's not up to the emperor."
After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen immediately nodded and said: "Everyone's analysis is reasonable. Mr. Xiaozhi's advice is very sound. Then I will allow him to return to Beijing and see if he dares to come."
"emperor!"
After hearing this, Qi Tai hurried forward and suggested: "The emperor should also issue a secret edict at the same time, ordering Zhang Rui, Xie Gui, Chen Ying and others in Peiping to strictly monitor the Prince Yan's palace, and immediately take action if there is any abnormality. At the same time,
Order the officers and soldiers from Prince Ning of Liaodong and Hebei and other places to strengthen their precautions against Beiping, so as to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Zhu Yunwen said happily: "What the Minister said is absolutely true, I will also report it accurately!"

"Prince Yan is about to return to Beijing to pay homage to Xiaoling Mausoleum. The court has approved the announcement. I have been investigating cases in Peiping for a long enough time. This time I will return to Nanjing with Prince Yan."
In the back garden of Xie's house, Xia Xun whispered to Ming'er.
It's nearly March, and the weather has turned warm. Water is dripping from the crystal ice under the eaves, and the snow in the yard has begun to melt, showing a moist color. A few pear trees, originally
On the bare branches, yellow and green flowers are spitting out. Occasionally, a few pear blossoms have opened. They are small, like a crystal snowflake, hanging on the branches.
Ming'er sat on the stone railing, tapping the stone base with her boot heel, and said quietly: "Then what should I do? Can I go back with you?"
Xia Xun asked: "Where are you going, Princess? Back to the Prince's Mansion in Zhongshan?"
Ming'er immediately opened her almond-shaped eyes and replied simply: "Of course I won't go back! The emperor said that he would put me under house arrest in the palace and never allow me to leave even half a step. When I grow up, he will marry me off. Ha.
! Once the hijab is lifted, people will know whether the man is tall or short, black or white, and whether he has a pockmarked face. I don’t want to go back and let him manipulate me.”
Xia Xun said blankly: "Where can the princess live?"
Ming'er started to be stunned, and after a while, she said sadly: "Yes, where should I live? Sister, I don't dare to show up at the eldest brother-in-law's house. They are already in trouble, and I can't cause them any more trouble.
Besides, if I show up at my eldest sister’s place, my brother’s side will inevitably be jealous of the emperor. Where can I go…”
The more Ming'er thought about it, the sadder she became. She couldn't help but wipe away her tears. Xia Xun said quickly: "Princess, don't be sad. Otherwise, how about Princess Xie staying in the Xie Mansion for the time being? Mr. Xie is a very loyal person.
I think he is very respectful to the princess and takes good care of her. The Xie family is one of the richest in Peiping, so they are not afraid of having one more princess to take care of her."
Ming'er wiped her tears and said timidly: "I don't want it. I don't know anyone here. I don't dare to see you at my brother-in-law's house. Once you leave, you will leave me alone."
Now, I can't even speak to people like the Xie family, so I don't want to live here."
Xia Xun became embarrassed and spread his hands and said: "That will be difficult. If there is no place to settle, how will the princess arrange it when she returns to Jiangnan?"
Ming'er tilted her head and thought about it, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said expectantly: "Then...can I go live at your house? I'm used to living in Jiangnan, your house is right on the edge of the city, I miss home.
When the time comes, I can sneak into the city to see Third Brother. Third Brother loves me the most. If Third Brother hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have been able to escape. Let Third Brother know that I'm there, and he can rest assured."
"Well, this..., ahem...little princess...hehe..."
Xia Xun was squeaking, and Ming'er was a little angry when she saw this. She pouted and said: "What's wrong, I have helped you a lot, but why are you so stingy after staying at your house for a few days? I don't eat much...
..., I promise that after I go to your house, I will eat whatever you eat, and I will not be picky or picky about food, and I will not be naughty."
Xia Xun smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not afraid that you'll eat too much. You only eat like a cat. I'm worried...I think..."
Xia Xun thought to himself, I'm afraid the battle of Jingnan is about to start. I will have to run away by then, and you still want to stay at my house? But he didn't dare to say this to Ming'er. After thinking for a moment, he could only do it for the time being.
A delaying strategy was used to appease her, but when the war broke out, Ming'er couldn't leave even if she wanted to, so she had no choice but to stay in Peiping.
Thinking of this, Xia Xun said: "Well, then... the princess can go to my house to live. However, I want to go south with King Yan. There are many people and the princess can't go with me. In a few days,
Aren’t Xie Yuanwai going to Jiangnan to worship his ancestors? I’ll ask him to ask the princess to go with Xie Yuanwai. In this way, I can pick up the princess to live in my house and won’t attract the attention of interested people.”
"That's it..."
Ming'er thought that it would still be some time before Xie Yuanwai could go south, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, she also knew that what Xia Xun said was true. Although she was not an imperial prisoner, no matter who found out that he had taken her in, it would probably not be an easy task.
Xia Xun was willing to take care of her like this. She didn't say it, but she was always very grateful in her heart. She couldn't harm others willfully.
Ming'er had no choice but to reluctantly say: "Okay, I will go back with Xie Yuanwai. Then you have to tell him to leave as soon as possible."
Seeing her promise, Xia Xun felt relieved and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely arrange this matter. I have a girl at home who is not much older than you. When you get there, she will be with you."
As a companion, you won’t feel lonely anymore.”
Ming'er became happy when she heard this, nodded happily and said: "Yes!"
After receiving the imperial edict, King Yan, who had already prepared for it, immediately set off back to Beijing. The vassal king left the vassal state and went to Beijing to see him. Officials from the Military, Political and Legal Department in Peking came to see him off, but although these officials were polite,
That's it, the cold and indifferent tone, the half-smiling look, and the distant look make people feel disgusted from the inside out.
As soon as they left Beiping City and had not yet arrived at the Ten Mile Changting Pavilion, King Yan just turned around and said a few polite words to them, asking them to stay and send them off without any trouble.
He immediately stopped and exchanged a few words with King Yan without any pain, then turned around and walked away. Looking at their competitive speed, it seemed that whoever walked faster could draw a clear line with King Yan faster.
Yes, it made Zhu Di very depressed.
Concubine Xu glanced lightly at the officials who were hurried back to the city, and said softly to King Yan: "The white horse with red tassels and the new color are not forced to marry by the relatives. Once the horse dies and the gold is gone, the relatives are like strangers. The ancients said it well,
Living in poverty in a busy city with no one to care about you, but being rich in the mountains and having distant relatives. The world is so cold and people are so cold, it’s better to be like this. Your Majesty, don’t take it to heart.”
King Yan chuckled and said, "I won't take these birdies to heart, Madam, don't worry."
Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "They have blinded their eyes. Our family is not finished yet. We just want to hide as far away as possible. Bah! A bunch of snobs."
King Yan sighed and said: "Stop talking, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth. You all go back, Chi'er, you must serve your mother well, listen to your mother's words, stay safe at home and don't cause trouble."
"
Just as he said this, Xia Xun rode a horse out of the thorns. When he arrived in front of King Yan's horse, he turned over and got off the horse very neatly. He knelt down to the King of Yan with a military salute and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Yang Xu."
, I have met His Highness."
