Princess Anqing threw herself on He Xi, and the eunuch who was executing the execution stopped immediately. However, Princess Anqing looked up and saw that her brother, the prince, was looking at her in surprise.
Princess Anqing looked down and found that the person under her was He Xi, but she saw that He Xi was struggling to turn her head and look at him. The two looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
An Qing's face suddenly turned red and he was ashamed. His face was burned from the root of his neck to the lower part of his hair. He wanted to turn his whole body into ashes and dissipate into the sky.
Princess Anqing thought to herself: "How could this happen?"
Princess Anqing was very confused about this matter.
She was originally training as a female worker in the harem, but somehow she heard a eunuch beside her whisper that the prince had made the emperor angry again, and was being beaten with a cane in the Qing Palace. He was beaten very hard.
The whole person was a bloody mess.
Princess Anqing was shocked and immediately thought of a way. She went to see her mother first. As it turned out, Queen Ma had taken medicine and fell asleep. The imperial doctor ordered not to disturb the queen. Princess Anqing was anxious and rushed to Qianqing Palace.
As a result, the guards of Qianqing Palace refused to let her in and held her at the door for a while.
This made Princess Anqing more and more convinced that her eldest brother, the prince, was being beaten.
The prince and Princess Anqing are real brothers and sisters, the kind who share the same father and mother. The prince is a kind-hearted person, and he is quite good to his nominal brother He Xi, let alone his youngest sister.
That couldn't be better.
How could Princess Anqing not be anxious?
He was so anxious that he didn't think about it carefully. He could only force his way in by relying on his status as a princess. As soon as he came in, he saw a shirtless person being pinned down on a bench and being beaten with blood all over his body.
Didn't see clearly who it was? So he pounced on him.
Now I can see it clearly.
Princess Anqing, the more anxious she became, the more embarrassed she became, not to mention seeing her brother, the prince, standing here perfectly, and her father. She gritted her teeth, stamped her feet, covered her face with her hands, and immediately turned around and left.
And He Xi didn't know what happened. She was confused and didn't understand why Princess Anqing pounced on him and left in the blink of an eye. What exactly happened.
However, what He Xi didn't understand even more was what happened later.
These were actually all in Zhu Yuanzhang's calculations.
He Xi's performance in Hangzhou was considered satisfactory in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, He Xi's stance was firm. This firm stance was on the Zhu family's side, and there was no other side. He Xi could just lean on the Huaixi side. There is no place left. After all, the big bosses of the Huaixi Group are all founding heroes. He Xi can only be the younger brother among younger brothers.
He Xi's approach was completely different from that of the scholar-bureaucrat group. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that He Xi had his own philosophical system behind his actions.
This is what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know.
In addition, if your character is acceptable and can be cultivated, it must be tied to your own side.
You must become your own person.
The old peasant Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts were determined. He felt that his own people were his relatives, not even in-laws. Because of the dictatorship of foreign relatives in history, the people Zhu Yuanzhang valued were his sons and sons-in-law.
Even when Zhu Yuanzhang was dying, among the ministers who supported him were his son-in-law Mei Yin.
Coupled with the small connection between He Xi and Princess Anqing, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to let Princess Anqing marry He Xi.
But what to do about this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang is a little confused. Fu Youde is fighting in Yunnan at the moment, and has already faced off against the Yunnan Liang Wangjun. The victory or defeat has not yet been reported, but Zhu Yuanzhang estimates that it will take more than ten days to capture Qujing City. Qujing
Suddenly, there was no danger to defend Yunnan. King Liang was captured. That was just a few days ago.
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that the Fu family wanted to marry Princess Anqing.
He couldn't help but let the hero's heart be cold. That's why today's incident happened. Even if the Fu family knew about it, it was the younger children who caused trouble. The old father could only deal with the aftermath for them, and then find another concubine to marry.
That’s it.
Even if Fu Youde knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, he did not dare to say anything. He could only direct his hatred towards He Xi.
Fu Youde is not a core figure in Huaixi, but he can be considered one of them. He Xi and Huaixi will naturally grow apart in the future due to this feud.
Zhu Yuanzhang killed several birds with one stone and arranged everything for He Xi. Naturally, he could not reveal his thoughts at this moment. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up, furious and said: "Come here, beat He Xi to death. This stinky boy
, dare to seduce my daughter under my nose."
It's just that He Xi hasn't figured out anything from the previous fog. Suddenly he encountered Zhu Yuanzhang's death threat again. He was completely stunned.
The prince hugged Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Brother He, a small stick will lead to acceptance, while a big staff will lead to walking. Why don't you leave quickly?"
It was too late for He Xi to figure out what was going on. Seeing such an angry Zhu Yuanzhang, He Xi could only avoid him for a while. Even He Xi couldn't walk at this moment. He had just hit him several times, although it was just a flesh wound.
, but He Xi had never suffered such an injury before. The pain was excruciating, and whenever he moved around, his back felt like needle pricks.
Fortunately, the eunuchs around him responded promptly, especially Xu Zheng, who handled many things. Naturally, he knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant and would not really let He Xi die here. Under his hint,
The eunuchs around He Xi reacted quickly and immediately sent He Xi away.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw He Xi leaving, he was still angry and said: "This stinky boy, I have to make him look good." At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little bit really angry. After all, every father-in-law dislikes his son-in-law.
The prince waved his hand and asked everyone around him to go down. He lowered his voice and said: "Father, what are you going to do? Even if you want An Qing to marry Brother He, you shouldn't do this. This will ruin An Qing's reputation.
what to do?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Did you see it? Since when did you see it?"
The prince said: "From what my father said, it can be seen when Brother He seduced An Qing. Today, it is obvious that An Qing misjudged the person and thought it was me who was beaten. Please plead for me. Even if there is something wrong, for the sake of An Qing's reputation, he should
A big thing has been reduced to a trivial matter. The emperor father actually said such words, which clearly nailed this matter. And although the palace ban is strict, there are some things that cannot be hidden. What happened today will definitely be leaked in half a year at most.
My father's thoughts are already clear. It's just that the child doesn't know why he does this."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "How is He Xi?"
The prince said, "There is a genius. He is also an old member of my family and can be reused. However, I don't have to marry Anqing."
In fact, from the prince's point of view, the most valuable thing about He Xi is not how He Xi is. It is that He Xi can gain Zhu Yuanzhang's trust. The prince also trusts his father's ability. Since Zhu Yuanzhang feels that He Xi can be trusted, the prince also thinks that He Xi can be trusted.
He Xi can be trusted.
It should be noted that for those in power, trust is a very precious resource.
It doesn't matter if someone who can be trusted lacks some abilities. Moreover, He Xi also has some abilities in other aspects. From this point of view, after more than ten years of training, it is okay to become a pillar of the court in the future.
However, there is a difference between closeness and distance.
Although He Xi is good, An Qing is the prince's biological sister.
In the eyes of the prince, my sister is unparalleled in the world. Although He Xi is good, she is only one of the alternatives. It is not necessary to choose He Xi. But what happened today, I am afraid that for the sake of Anqing's reputation, I can only marry He Xi.
Already.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "He Xi is a man of great talent. It's just that there are many things. It's not time to tell you. But I will tell you sooner or later. You just need to remember that if He Xi is not used by me, he will be killed."
No future trouble."
"Don't worry, it's not bad for your sister to marry He Xi."
Now that things have come to this, the prince has nothing to say. He just speculates secretly and thinks: "So, He Xi is no longer my brother. Although He Xi is talented in ordnance, but little Daoer, what's the point?
It’s something my father values.”
"Could it be Zen Master Dazhi? Is there really such a person?"
The prince didn't think He Xi had any amazing talents. At least he didn't see it. He didn't know about the private conflict between He Xi and the emperor, so he began to speculate. It's like future generations will judge a person's ability by first looking at his academic qualifications.
After coming out of Tsinghua University and Peking University, I immediately took a high look at him, even if I didn't see anything outstanding about him.
But in this era, what matters is the succession of teachers.
Just like Song Lian. Although Song Lian is a literary master, when many people look at Song Lian, the first thing they look at is Song Lian's lineage. From Zhu Xi to Song Lian, there is a clear connection. It is obvious that Song Lian is an authentic disciple of Zhu Zi, so naturally they have to take a high look.
It was easy for the prince to doubt what kind of person this Zen Master Dazhi was.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Go and see He Xi and comfort him. Don't frighten him. Tell him a little bit about my thoughts. Remember. Tell him that if An Qing doesn't marry him, he will have no choice but to die."
.”
The prince sighed and said, "Yes." He found that Zhu Yuanzhang was ready to go out and asked, "Father, where are you going?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Go see your mother."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not say hello to Queen Ma about today's arrangements. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that since his little actions today could not be hidden from the prince, he could not hide them from Queen Ma either. The palace is Queen Ma's territory, and only Queen Ma did not want to know about it. Without Queen Ma, she would not know.
knew.
It's related to Queen Ma's youngest daughter. Queen Ma will definitely find out what happened today.
If Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't go and report it quickly, the Empress will come to investigate. That would be bad. The emperor also wants to save face?
The prince looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's leaving figure and smiled suddenly for some reason. Then he had a headache. He didn't know how to face He Xi. He suddenly changed from the illegitimate brother he thought he was to his future sister-in-law.
