Chapter 89: Entering the Palace to Announce the Good News
Zhu Yong put away the clothes and glanced at the monk: "My eldest brother told me in the brochure, I just want to teach you to go with us, and I will never make things difficult for you along the way. Even if you get to the place... I think it will be fine."
It can save your life. Hiding here is not the answer after all. You might as well go to the capital and speak clearly."
The monk did not ask who Zhu Yong's eldest brother was.
But he still said calmly: "Then...please lead the way."
Zhu Yong didn't expect it to go so smoothly. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at the monk.
Zhang Fu was winking at the side.
Qiu Song calmly held his bundle, but looked around warily.
………………
Zhang Anshi couldn't understand why Xu Jingyi had to stay here to recuperate even though she was already alive and kicking.
But as a doctor, I have to stay here all the time.
But obviously Zhu Di didn't give Zhang Anshi any reason to argue.
Zhang Anshi could only stay obediently in this side hall.
Fortunately, after chatting with Xu Jingyi for a few words, we finally got to know each other gradually.
Mainly because the two of them are in the same social relationship after all.
For example, Zhang Anshi recognized her brother.
For example, Xu Jingyi also recognizes Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu.
And Qiu Song.
Of course, the impression seems not to be very good, as none of the three are good people.
Zhang Anshi sighed in his heart, fortunately I have corrected my evil ways and started a new life. Otherwise, I am afraid that I would be as infamous as my three brothers.
That Spring and Autumn Period has been turned to pieces.
Zhang Anshi simply threw it aside. He even suspected that Zhu Di's sending off to Chunqiu must have been premeditated.
Zhang Anshi then came closer, and while chatting, he simply said, out of boredom, "Let's tell a story."
Xu Jingyi is also a little less shy. In fact, she is the daughter of a military minister after all. She does not have as many rules as those ladies of the world. On weekdays, she also interacts with some young people who come to visit her.
If it hadn't been for a 'marriage', he would have been generous when meeting Zhang Anshi.
And she didn't have her feet bound. You know, the late Empress Gao was known as Bigfoot.
The children of the palace and nobles, especially in the early Ming Dynasty, imitated Empress Ma in almost everything.
Zhang Anshi remembered that there seemed to be an incident in ancient times where a woman was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to commit suicide because a man saw her three-inch golden lotus.
Xu Jingyi obviously has no such taboo.
"Let me tell you a story." Zhang Anshi said seriously.
Xu Jingyi listened attentively. She admired Zhang Anshi quite a lot, not only because Zhang Anshi behaved well, but most importantly, she found that Zhang Anshi also had a wide range of knowledge. This was different from other brothers and relatives who only knew how to fight and kill.
Different from those nerds who only know how to read.
Zhang Anshi thought for a moment and thought about what stories a girl of Xu Jingyi's age might like. Then he calmed down and said: "When Nuwa repaired the sky, she only used 36,500 yuan of spiritual stones, and only the remaining
One stone was of no use, so I threw it away at the foot of Qinggeng Peak. Who knew that after tempering the stone, it would become spiritually enlightened..."
Xu Jingyi listened very carefully, and the more she listened, the more interesting she became.
Zhang Anshi also talks about morality vividly. In fact, this is a story from the Dream of Red Mansions. Of course, Zhang Anshi cannot recite the Dream of Red Mansions exactly as it is, but it can be regarded as a familiar classic for future generations. He does know the general content of the story, and some of the classic passages are more memorable.
I saw Zhang Anshi eloquent, and Xu Jingyi became more and more surprised the more she listened.
But at this moment, a little head outside was poking around, as if to inquire about something. The owner of this little head seemed to be listening with interest.
Even later, the little guy tiptoed to move a brocade pier, and when Zhang Anshi got excited about talking, he obediently moved it behind Zhang Anshi, sat on it, and listened with his chin on his head.
Zhang Anshi finished talking about two sticks of incense. He felt thirsty. When he turned around, he saw a strange young man suddenly appeared in the side hall.
Zhang Anshi said: "Who are you?"
This young man was none other than King Yin Zhu? When Zhu? saw Zhang Anshi questioning him, he immediately stood up, put his hands on his hips and said, "I'll scare you to death if I tell you, Emperor Taizu Gao..."
Zhang Anshi was really frightened when he heard about Taizu Emperor Gao.
I saw Zhu? continued: "It's my father."
Zhang Anshi probably remembered that this person seemed to be King Yin Zhu? who was raised in the palace.
He immediately relaxed and thought that the coffin board of Emperor Taizu Gao was not holding him down.
But Zhang Anshi said: "Go, pour me a cup of tea."
After Zhu Yu heard this, he was furious: "I am the son of Emperor Taizu Gao, and Your Majesty is my brother. I have been crowned King Yin since I was a child. How dare you order me around? You are so bold!"
As he spoke, he ran to the tea room next door, brought a cup of tea, and brought it to Zhang Anshi: "Don't do this next time, I will be angry."
Zhang Anshi took a sip of tea and said, "Why are you pouring tea? It's too hot and will burn your mouth."
Zhu Xi then said angrily: "Don't be ignorant of praise."
After that, he smoked and went to the waiter again, got a new cup of tea, and handed it to Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi took a sip and then said: "Not bad, not bad, this is good."
Xu Jingyi obviously recognized King Yin and said, "Why are you here, Your Highness?"
"I'm here to keep an eye on him." Zhu? said: "Except for the emperor brother and me, no other men are allowed in the palace. Now a man comes in rashly, shouldn't I, the king, watch?"
Xu Jingyi: "..."
Zhang Anshi said: "I don't want to stay either. I really want to leave as soon as possible!"
King Yin Zhu? was angry again: "What are you talking about? It's your honor to come to the palace, but you are still reluctant! Okay, before I get angry, let's continue telling the story. Then Sister Lin
What happened next?"
Zhang Anshi said contemptuously: "Why don't you care about Jia Baoyu? I won't talk about it today. I'm tired and my back hurts."
Zhu? said angrily: "If you are rude in front of the king, I will not spare you. At worst, I will give you a press to loosen your bones. My king usually has a sore back and back, and it was those slaves who gave me this."
Pressed."
After saying that, he went directly behind Zhang Anshi, kneaded Zhang Anshi's shoulders, and said, "Is this comfortable? How about this?"
Zhang Anshi was helpless: "Then I'll tell you."
Xu Jingyi was only immersed in the story and seemed to be thinking about the things in the Grand View Garden.
In fact, this kind of story is exactly what Xu Jingyi and Zhu Xi like. After all, they grew up in the palace and the palace, and are very familiar with the world in the Red Mansion. However, the fate of the various characters in it affects them the most.
heart of.
………
For several days, Queen Xu saw no sign of Zhu Xi, so she called the eunuch and asked, "Prince Yin comes here on weekdays, why hasn't he seen anyone these days?"
The eunuch said: "His Royal Highness King Yin has been staying at Uncle Chengen's place these days, forgetting all sleep and food."
Queen Xu couldn't help but smile sweetly: "Your Majesty is right, he is the Zhu family's weasel, digging holes everywhere."
The eunuch laughed and said: "His Royal Highness King Yin is very happy, saying that he is Jia Baoyu."
"Jia Baoyu?" Queen Xu frowned: "Who is Jia Baoyu?"
"This servant doesn't know either. I only know that... His Highness said that he will find Sister Lin in the future."
Empress Xu couldn't help scolding: "Sister... look, he is even more shameless than Your Majesty."
The eunuch did not dare to respond to these words.
But in the evening, Zhu? came excitedly, saying as he walked: "Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng... no, the emperor's sister-in-law, the emperor's sister-in-law..."
Zhu? Bounced in.
He looked like he was sweating profusely.
Queen Xu was a little angry and a little distressed when she saw him being so reckless.
Empress Xu had three sons, one of whom was a feudal lord, and although the two were both in the capital, they were both outside the palace.
Now Zhu Di and Empress Xu are almost raising Zhu Di as their own son in the palace.
So Queen Xu stood up, took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and said: "Wang Xifeng, what did you find out again?"
Zhu?'s eyes were shining brightly, and he said happily: "I have thought of a story to tell the emperor's sister-in-law."
"story?"
Empress Xu sat down calmly, picked up the embroidery on a few pieces, and said, "When did my King Yin know how to tell stories? You tell it."
Zhu? Then he sat down and began to talk like a parrot.
Empress Xu didn't care at first.
But the more I listened to it, the more I found this story to be... quite interesting. The later I listened, the more I found this story to be mysterious.
…………
At this time, in the Wenlou.
Zhu Di was looking out the window with his hands behind his back.
Yishiha crept in and said, "Your Majesty, Ji Gang, commander of the Imperial Guards, has arrived."
"Um……"
Ji Gang entered the palace silently and saluted: "I have met your Majesty."
Zhu Di did not look back at him, only looked at the dead leaves outside the window and said: "Autumn has passed and spring has come, Ji Gang, it has been two years since I took the throne."
"Your Majesty, two years and four months."
Zhu Di nodded: "Over the past two years... I still think about the scene when I brought troops into Nanjing. The past events are still vivid in my mind."
Ji Gang raised his head subconsciously, and then quickly lowered his head.
As His Majesty's confidant, understanding the Emperor's heart is a necessary skill for him. Ji Gang thought to himself, could it be because the King of Han offended His Majesty?
Ji Gang also didn't expect that Zhang Anshi was Guo Degan. If he had known that this person was the brother-in-law of the prince's wife, he would have found out in advance, and he would not have let the King of Han fall into this trap.
Originally, Ji Gang only thought that he was just a smart doctor, but no matter how smart the doctor was, he could not influence the current situation. In order to avoid His Majesty's suspicion of him, he did not act rashly, but now, he fell into passivity.
Zhu Di suddenly said: "How is Xu Huizu's stubborn donkey doing now? Is his diet okay?"
"Fortunately, I can still eat three meals a day, but..."
"But what?" Zhu Di turned back violently, staring at Ji Gang with his fierce eyes.
Ji Gang said: "Wei Guogong contracted a slight cold two days ago and coughed for two days."
Zhu Di frowned: "Why didn't you come and report earlier?"
"The doctor said it's just a slight cold, it doesn't matter..."
Zhu Di hummed and said, "Did he mention me?"
"I didn't say anything, I just read a book every day."
"What are you looking at?"
"Mostly "Spring and Autumn"."
"Damn it, there aren't many good things about "Spring and Autumn"."
Ji Gang: "..."
Zhu Di suddenly turned around, walked a few steps, and said thoughtfully: "That person...does he have any features?"
Ji Gang trembled in his heart. He knew very well who the person His Majesty was talking about.
This is an extremely sensitive matter.
Ji Gang lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty...I am already making inquiries."
"No news at all?"
"There is news."
Zhu Di said: "Oh?"
"Someone spied on him. After he escaped from the palace at that time, he ran all the way to the seaside, passed a sea ship, and escaped overseas."
"Overseas?" Zhu Di frowned deeper and deeper, obviously he didn't want this result.
"Can you be sure?"
Ji Gang hesitated for a moment: "I don't dare to guarantee my vote."
But after a pause, Ji Gang continued: "However, I and the people who are looking for this person are all top-notch experts in the Wei. They can catch the wind and shadows to spy on the news. They can say that this news... is probably true."
.”
Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, sullen face, paced back and forth, lost in thought.
"If you escape to the sea, I'm afraid I won't be able to find you in my lifetime, right?"
Ji Gang thought for a while and said: "Actually... there is another possibility, that is, he is dead."
Zhu Di just pursed his lips and looked at him.
Ji Gang said cautiously: "According to my estimate, if he is still alive, he will have gone to sea. If he has not gone to sea, he will most likely die somewhere."
Zhu Di paused for a moment and then said: "You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see the body when you die."
After hearing this, Ji Gang cheered up and said, "Here."
Zhu Di sat down and suddenly asked Ji Gang: "How is the King of Han doing lately?"
Ji Gang's heart skipped a beat.
Because His Majesty has never authorized the Jin Yiwei to spy on the King of Han.
There are some people... Jin Yiwei is not qualified to inquire at all, such as the prince and the king of Han.
This is also the reason why Zhang Anshi is so dark under the lamp.
Because Jin Yiwei rashly inquires about the prince or the king of Han, or even their personal documents, it will be considered to be involved in the dispute for the reserve, which is extremely dangerous for Ji Gang.
He knew very well that these things would never be tolerated.
Once His Majesty finds out, he is seeking death.
But now, His Majesty suddenly asked about the King of Han...
This made Ji Gang have to think, could it be that... he hopes that Jin Yiwei will pay more attention to the King of Han in the future?
If this is the case, can it be considered that His Majesty was so disappointed in the King of Han that he became wary?
Ji Gang lowered his head, knowing that any answer he gave might make His Majesty have different guesses: "I don't know."
Zhu Di raised his hand to pick up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and then said calmly: "The Jinyi guards are catching wind and shadows to spy on domestic affairs. How can they be ignorant of all questions? Next time, don't do this again."
Ji Gang was shocked and confused, but his face remained calm, and he clasped his hands and said, "Here."
Zhu Di said calmly: "Go down."
Ji Gang quietly retreated.
When Ji Gang went out, Yi Shiha poured Zhu Di another cup of hot tea.
Zhu Di was thoughtful and fell into silence.
Yi Shiha stood quietly aside, making no sound.
"Went overseas...overseas...overseas..."
Zhu Di kept talking about several overseas countries, looking regretful.
Then, he sighed and became speechless.
…………
Zhu Yong and the others left quickly and came back even faster.
They rode fast horses almost all the way, and the horses did not change people.
Fortunately, the monk was very cooperative and could ride the horse by himself without any burden, so he galloped all the way and finally returned to the capital in the evening.
As soon as they arrived in the capital, the three people began to be dumbfounded.
After passing the Jinchuan Gate, Zhu Yong pulled Zhang Fu aside and said, "Second brother, the bag only talks about returning to Beijing, but it doesn't say what to do next."
Zhang Fu was also in a dilemma and couldn't help but said: "Oh, brother made a miscalculation."
"Bullshit." Zhu Yong said: "How could eldest brother miscalculate? It must be that eldest brother thinks that we can definitely handle this matter, or he is testing our brothers, so he deliberately left a suspense!"
"This is too bad. My eldest brother told me in the brochure before that no one else should know about this matter, but we can't rush into the palace rashly at this time. Why would the palace let us go assholes?"
Go in stabbingly."
Zhang Fu held his chin, his brain running at high speed at this time, he squinted his eyes and said: "How about this, we can't tell outsiders, but your father can always tell you, your father Cheng Guogong has always been cunning, I think
He has a way."
When Zhu Yong heard this, he immediately became angry and cursed: "Your father is so cunning. My father is as stupid as a donkey. Why is he so cunning?"
When Zhang Fu heard this, he said: "My brother said so, and Qiu Song's father also said so. Fourth brother, it's up to you to judge."
Qiu Song hugged his baggage tightly and stood dumbfounded, saying nothing.
Zhu Yong had no choice but to say: "Don't make a fuss for now. We'll just ask my eldest brother for comment when the time comes. Anyway, it's more important to do serious things first. After much thought, I'd better go to my dad first."
After the discussion was concluded, the group escorted the monk to the Chengguo Duke's Mansion.
Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Neng is very happy these days. Although his son has run away, he is not worried at all.
In his opinion, when I was this age, I had already gone to fight the Tatars in the desert. This son of a bitch went out to do whatever he wanted, so as not to have to eat idle food at home and look angry.
But the profits brought by his brother's shipping business made him happy. He kept it in his study every day. This general in the army now dealt with piles of accounts all day long, and he felt pain and happiness at the same time.
When the doorman came in a hurry, he said: "Master, master, the young master is back."
"Don't make any noise. Come back as soon as you come back. I'm settling the accounts." Zhu Neng said impatiently and continued to stare at the newly sent accounts from Brother Shipbuilding without raising his head.
But I heard the disciple say again: "The young master is bringing a few people with him, and the sons of Duke Qi and Duke Rong are also here."
Zhu Neng finally reluctantly looked away from the account book and cursed: "I'm so unlucky. I gave birth to a son of a bitch. He also made some bad friends. It's all in their hands. What evil have I done."
While scolding, he went to the middle hall.
But when he saw Qiu Song and Zhang Fu, he laughed again and said: "Haha, my nephews are here, oh, they have grown taller, good, very good, Qiu Song, you haven't been home for so long, your father's eyes are
They are all popular. And Zhang Fu, why are you so careless? Your brother is trying to find out about you."
The three of them greeted each other.
Zhu Neng looked up and saw a monk behind them, so he smiled and said: "Why is there another monk here? Hey..."
He muttered in a low voice: "Isn't this bad luck? Our family has just had good luck and is going to make a fortune..."
"Dad." Zhu Yong said with a sarcastic smile: "We came to find you to ask you and see if you have any suggestions. This monk has an unusual status."
Zhu Neng said: "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be wordy."
Zhu Yong lowered his voice and said: "He is Emperor Jianwen..."
When Zhu Neng heard this, his eyes widened. Then he picked up Zhu Yong and slapped his butt with his backhand. He said, "You can't talk nonsense. You are such an idiot. You dare to say anything. You still have Jianwen. This Jianwen
I have been hiding for two years and no one can find me. Just you..."
Zhu Yong screamed after being beaten and felt that he had lost face, so he said angrily: "It doesn't hurt, Dad, don't you have enough to eat? Use more force if you can."
Zhang Fu was trembling as he watched.
Qiu Song sniffed and subconsciously began to look for the baggage he was carrying.
Zhu Yong suddenly remembered something, and then took out a cassock from his arms: "Look at this, look at this."
Zhu Neng lowered his head and seemed to notice the strangeness of the cassock, so he quickly put Zhu Yong down and picked up the cassock.
It's okay not to look at it. At first glance, Zhu Neng felt dizzy.
"Really...it's really him..."
Zhu Neng actually started to panic and said: "Oh my god, how can you get it from home? Can such a person easily get it from home?"
Zhu Yong said: "We don't know what to do, my eldest brother didn't say anything."
"Brother?" Zhu Neng was stunned: "You mean Zhang Anshi?"
"Yes. Big brother asked us to find it."
Zhu Neng finally calmed down from his panic. He took a deep breath and said: "This matter is too big, too big. Let me tell you the truth...this is no joke.
, now... you hurry up and follow me, escort him to the palace, without delaying for a moment, and... you didn't mention it to anyone casually on the way. "
"Brother has already given the order, dad, don't worry."
Zhu Neng took another deep breath and couldn't help but say in his heart that his beloved nephew Zhang Xian was still capable and had the brains to do things.
Damn...
He raised his head and glanced at the monk, and then took a deep breath. This is a fucking great achievement.
Zhu Neng did not hesitate anymore and quickly led a few people to escort the monk into the palace.
At this time, the sky was already dusk, and a cloud of colorful clouds covered the earth.
It's really late, but fortunately, the Meridian Gate is not closed yet.
When Zhu Neng arrived at the Meridian Gate, the eunuchs and guards guarding the gate said: "I have seen Duke Cheng. It is getting late..."
"Notice immediately, I will enter the palace today, no matter when!" Zhu Neng did not hesitate.
The eunuch and the guard looked at each other, looking embarrassed.
Because at this time... it is indeed no longer the time to enter the palace.
So, the eunuch smiled and said, "I don't know what happened to you. I hope I have a reason when I go to report it."
Zhu Neng glared and sneered: "I dare to say these big things, but the question is, are you ordered to obey? Go and report to your majesty immediately. You must see me today no matter what, even if you want to kill me."
, I have to kill him when I see him."
Having said that, the eunuch didn't dare to ask any more questions.
I quickly ran to Wenlou and Wulou, only to find out that His Majesty had already driven to Da Nei.
So he hurried to Ouchi again.
At this time, Zhu Di and Queen Xu were already in the bedroom.
Empress Xu was telling Zhu Di about Yin Wang Zhu? with a smile: "Even though he is young, when he tells stories, he is vivid and vivid, like a storyteller."
Zhu Di then said: "He is sneaking around every day. I think he can be a spy in brocade clothes. It would be too unfair to let him be a prince."
Queen Xu pursed her lips and smiled, but she still looked worried.
Zhu Di suddenly said: "Ji Gang from Jinyiwei said... that person may have gone overseas."
When Queen Xu heard this, she frowned subconsciously.
If he goes overseas, he may never be found. His brother has always thought that His Majesty committed regicide...
However, she was calm and said: "Ji Gang has always been prudent in handling affairs. Since he said this, it seems... that is indeed the case. It would be better to escape overseas. Your Majesty, please spare his life."
Zhu Di looked disappointed, and then smiled bitterly: "It's not a question of whether to survive or not, it's just that there are some things... If you don't explain clearly, it's like a stick in your throat."
At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came and said outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Zhu Di said displeasedly: "Come in."
The eunuch stepped in and said breathlessly: "Gong Chengguo wants to see you."
Zhu Di was furious: "Has this old man lost his mind and gone crazy? Don't you know what time it is now? I have moved to the palace and told him that he is missing. If you have anything to say, I will say it tomorrow."
The eunuch could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty... Duke Cheng Guo said that if you don't see me today, you will see me. Even if you want to lose your head, you should wait until you come to see him."
When Zhu Di heard this, he fell silent, because he knew very well that Duke Cheng Guo looked reckless on the surface, but in fact he was as careful as a hair.
Such people will never be so rough unless they have a last resort or something very big.
So Zhu Di said: "Inform him to come in quickly."
Queen Xu couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, see you here?"
Zhu Di glanced at Queen Xu.
Empress Xu smiled sweetly and said: "The rules in the palace are very strict. When we were in the Peking Palace, didn't he and His Majesty drink in front of the concubines? It's urgent. Call him.
Well, besides, I also want to know what happened."
Queen Xu is not a simple woman, she has actually trained female soldiers herself and been on the battlefield.
Zhu Di nodded: "Let him come quickly."
After a stick of incense.
Zhu Neng, Duke of Chengguo, entered the palace. After entering the bedroom, Zhu Yong did not look sideways and bowed down: "I have seen your Majesty."
Zhu Di looked at him: "You are so brave."
"Your Majesty, I have to come, so please forgive me." After saying that, Zhu Neng said to Empress Xu: "I have met your Majesty, how is your Majesty?"
Empress Xu smiled affectionately and said: "Call me sister-in-law, that's how I used to be called."
Originally, at this time, Zhu Neng would definitely have to talk nonsense with all his energy.
However, today he had a solemn expression and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty... I only came to the palace for one thing."
Zhu Di said: "If you fart, let it go quickly."
Zhu Neng said two words from his mouth: "Jianwen..."
"What?"
"Your Majesty, Jianwen...has been found."
Zhu Di was shocked.
Queen Xu was also moved.
Zhu Di was anxious, suppressing his hoarse voice, and at the same time looked to the left and right with murderous eyes.
The eunuchs on the left and right retreated like the tide.
Zhu Di said: "Didn't he go to sea? How could he be found again? Where is he... Where is he?"
"Just outside the palace!"
Zhu Di was shocked in his heart and was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
