Chapter 124: Riding a tiger is hard to get off (2)
In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, King Qin was poisoned to death by an old woman who was a servant in the palace.
In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, the King of Jin suddenly fell ill and died.
The two eldest sons of the Ming Dynasty, the legitimate sons of Empress Ma, died one after another.
On the surface, it is a matter of birth, old age, illness and death, something that mortals can't do anything about. But behind the death, the northern frontier fortress lost two elderly fortress kings with outstanding military exploits.
As a superior, you should treat so-called ordinary things with the utmost caution. In other words, a superior cannot be without suspicion.
The fact that King Qin was poisoned is full of absurdity. The majestic Prince of Ming Dynasty was actually poisoned to death by a few old women. It should be noted that the palace is like a palace. The palace people have no chance to leave the palace, and those who come in from outside are eager to kill them.
Peeling off the skin and searching through the heart, liver and lungs.
Where did the poison come from?
Not to mention an ancient palace man, but a modern person, if you give him poison, does he know how to use it?
Besides, the prince’s diet is so meticulous! He said he would poison him to death?
Think about it carefully, after the death of two vassal kings, who will benefit the most in the world?
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi shuddered.
King Yan?
However, although he had always been wary of King Yan in his heart, Zhu Yunxi was really unwilling to associate that heroic, heroic and heroic King of Yan with these things.
Zhu Di was not a glorious and great husband, but he should never be such a villain. Although he had some small thoughts of his own, Zhu Yunxi could be regarded as aboveboard when looking at what Zhu Di did.
There are some things that Zhu Di, a proud, conceited and sensitive person like him, would disdain to do.
I hope I am overthinking it!
You should be thinking too much!
During the meal, Zhu Yunxi felt like he was chewing wax.
The banquet was over and it was already late at night.
Zhu Yunxi's residence is in the garden of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, with beautiful carved beams and painted buildings.
In the tea room, with a pot of tea and a lamp of sandalwood, the uncle and nephew were sitting opposite each other, talking about homely matters.
Your Highness finally came here and stayed in Taiyuan for a few more days! There are many scenic spots in Taiyuan City, especially those thousand-year-old temples, which are even more beautiful than the temples in the capital! Zhu Fan was very interested and said with a smile, here
Most of the monks here are eminent monks, and they are much better than those in Jiangnan who cheat on people by eating and drinking!
Zhu Yunxi listened calmly, with a hint of sandalwood pouring into his nose. Then he looked at the exquisite incense burner and asked, "This incense smells good, it is fragrant but not pungent!"
Zhu Fan smiled, this was sent by King Huai to his minister on his birthday last month!
King Huai, Zhu Yunwen!
Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly. Zhu Yunwen had always been very honest in the fiefdom. It was said that he read, wrote, and traveled around every day. Why did he suddenly become involved with the King of Jin?
Seeing the slight change in Zhu Yunxi's expression, Zhu Fan couldn't help but become a little cautious, and defended, I don't want it either, but King Huai said, I am the king's uncle. These incense are not valuable, they are all the filial piety of a junior like him! He said,
After another meal, I thought, after all, I am also the son of my eldest brother. As an uncle, I have to be unkind. Xiang, I accepted it, and also sent someone to send a few good horses to King Huai, and there were ten good ones.
leather.........
It is normal for uncles and nephews to exchange gifts. Not to mention giving gifts, even if a nephew visits his uncle's house, isn't it only natural? Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, took a sip of tea and asked again, did he only give gifts to his third uncle?
Zhu Fan pondered, it seems that the second brother also sent it, right?
Zhu Yunwen was in Huai'an and had never had much contact with the clan. He didn't send him away early in the morning, but he didn't send it out later. He sent it out last month when he was fighting in Goryeo.
In the palace, King Huai didn't send it? Zhu Fan hesitated for a moment and asked.
Zhu Yunxi smiled, "In the past few months, I have been patrolling coastal defense in Fujian and then conquering Goryeo. How could I care about these things!"
Although state affairs are important, Your Highness must also take care of your body. The affairs of the world cannot be accomplished in a day. Your Highness, please don't be too hasty. Zhu Han said slowly, "My eldest brother was too concerned about these things at the beginning, so he was busy going out at a young age."
I'm sick, you...
Hey, national affairs don't matter! Zhu Yunxi's words have something to say, family affairs are annoying!
Zhu Fan paused. Your Highness is going to Xi'an, but where is the second brother...?
Zhu Yunxi did not hide it from him. The half-brothers of the Qin and Jin dynasties had close contact with each other. He said that the King of Qin had some headaches. He took a sip from the teacup and said slowly, someone complained to the old man. Second Uncle Chong
A concubine who destroys his wife is cruel and ungrateful.
That Deng family is not a good thing! Zhu Fan scolded, the second brother is also blind, and the second sister-in-law is such a good woman, but he does not treat her kindly, but instead spoils such a charming girl to no end!
As he spoke, he said angrily, since ancient times, how could anyone let a concubine climb on top of his married wife?
Obviously, Zhu Fan knew something.
The Deng family he mentioned was the concubine of King Qin. In fact, she was also from a famous family, the daughter of the late King Deng Yu of Ninghe. Speaking of which, she was also the wife and sister of Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, commonly known as sister-in-law.
Li Jinglong and Zhu Yunxi were of the same generation. If he were serious, he would call King Qin Zhu Feng uncle, sister-in-law, and aunt.
In fact, according to the etiquette of the Han family, getting married depends on the seniority of both parties. But the old man and the founding warriors all crawled out of the dead. The marriage of children only depends on age, who cares about other things. Furthermore, when these people get married, it is also
A political marriage to a certain extent.
Speaking of which, Gu is a bit embarrassed! Zhu Yunxi looked troubled, and the old man asked Gu to go to King Qin to have a look. Third uncle, you also know what he meant. But after all, he is Gu's biological uncle and nephew. If he really wants to do something,
If you are too cruel, you will inevitably hurt your second uncle’s face!
Zhu Fan pondered and said, Your Highness, you don't have to think so. The second brother has gone too far in recent years. You can teach him a lesson, which is reasonable both emotionally and rationally. If he can't understand clearly, I will argue with him. After saying that, he scolded him again.
He said, "It's better for you to go than for the old man to issue an order. He won't be able to understand this!"
I'm afraid of hurting the relationship between uncle and nephew! Zhu Yunxi continued, "Gu, only two uncles are close relatives. I really don't want to. What's the problem?" He sighed again, but the country has laws and the world has ethics. The second uncle's work
If you don't deal with what you did, it will hurt the face of our Zhu family!
Don't worry, Your Highness, I will tell my second brother these words. He is such an old man, he will understand these truths! Zhu Fan said in a dull voice.
Zhu Yunxi laughed in his heart, this third uncle is really good. There are some things that you just pass on, so why bother saying it in front of me, as if I asked you to pass it on deliberately.
The second brother is also getting better and better. The last time the eldest brother visited Guan and Shaanxi, he scolded him. He stopped for a few years and fell ill again! Zhu Han showed a bit of a bad smile, but this time it was his highness who scolded him. Look at him.
Where will I put my face from now on! Shame on you!
Zhu Yunxi personally filled tea with the King of Jin and changed the topic. In the past few years, Jin had been quiet and there was no invasion from the Northern Yuan Dynasty!
He dares! Zhu Fan said, if he dares to come, the ministers don’t need to beat him. He directly blocks the merchants. No one sells tea, medicine, cloth and other items to them, so they have to drink the northwest wind!
The Ming Dynasty imposed an economic blockade on Beiyuan, but it did not sell anything. It only sold the necessities of your life, but never the contraband controlled by the state.
This is a bit big! Zhu Yunxi laughed and said, if you don’t buy it from Taiyuan, you can buy it from other places!
Where? Liaodong, fourth child? Zhu Fan sneered, this time His Highness destroyed Goryeo, and once the Liaodong Tieling Guards were restored, Yan Fan would no longer be popular!
Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and said, this time, the fourth uncle took great credit for the victory over Goryeo. He said, "Third uncle, I have something I don't know about. You are a good man, and the fourth uncle is also a good man, and he likes to get fame immediately."
King Sai, why don’t you two look at each other?
Zhu Fan thought for a moment and found that it wasn't that he was wrong. I just looked down on him and his arrogance. These brothers, we are about the same age. But except for the eldest brother, who is the fourth, he didn't treat me and the second brother.
Brother, take it seriously!
Speaking of this, his face showed some reminiscence, and he said with emotion, when we were young, my second brother and I were often beaten by the elder brother because of him! Sometimes, I was so angry that I went to my mother to complain, and I had to be beaten again by my mother!
My mother treats him a lot better than the rest of us!
