Chapter 89: Entering the Palace to Report Good News
Zhu Yong will be this clothes collected, looked at the monk: “My big brother in the brocade bag with me said la, just teach you to go with us a trip, along the way will never be difficult for you, even if you arrive at the place …… think will also be able to keep you alive. You are here to hide, after all, is not the way, may as well go to the capital, make things clear.”
The monk didn’t pursue the question of who Zhu Yong’s older brother was.
But still still calmly said, “Then …… please lead the way.”
Zhu Yong didn’t expect it to go so smoothly, he couldn’t help but look at the monk a few more times.
Zhang Yoking, on the other hand, scowled.
Chuson was calmly holding his bundle, but his eyes were alert as he looked around.
………………
Zhang Anshi couldn’t understand why this Xu Jingyi had to stay here to recuperate when she could be alive and kicking.
And he, the great doctor, had to keep guard here all the time.
But apparently Zhu Di didn’t give Zhang Anshi any reason to argue.
Zhang Anshi could only obediently stay in this side hall.
But fortunately, after chatting with Xu Jingyi for a few moments, they were finally getting acquainted.
The main thing is that between the two, after all, they are both in the same social relationship.
For example, Zhang Anshi recognized her brother.
For example, Xu Jingyi also recognized Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking.
And then there’s Chuson.
Certainly the impression seemed less than favorable, and all three were not good people.
Zhang Anshi sighed in his heart, “Fortunately, I have changed my ways and become a new man, otherwise, I am afraid that, like my three brothers, I will also be infamous.
That spring and fall has been turned over.
Zhang Anshi simply threw it aside, and he even suspected that Zhu Di’s sending Chunqiu must have been premeditated.
Zhang Anshi then came a little closer, and in the midst of idle chatter and boredom, he simply said, “Let’s tell a story.”
Xu Jingyi also less shy, in fact, after all, is the daughter of the military minister, weekdays did not have those big girls that so many rules, weekdays she will also deal with some of the visiting world of teenagers.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she had experienced a ‘marriage’, when she met Zhang Anshi, she would probably have been generous.
And she didn’t have her feet wrapped, mind you, the late Empress Gao, was known as Ma Big Foot.
The children of the court and of the lords, especially at the beginning of the Ming dynasty, followed the example of that Empress Ma almost everywhere.
Zhang Anshi remembered as if there had been an ancient incident where a woman was so ashamed that she committed suicide because of her three-inch golden lotus and was looked at by a man.
Xu Jingyi, on the other hand, clearly did not have such an avoidance.
“I’ll tell a story.” Zhang Anshi said seriously.
Xu Jingyi listened with her ears, she admired Zhang Anshi, not only because of his decent demeanor, but most importantly, she found that Zhang Anshi also had a wide range of insights, which was different from the other brothers and relatives who only knew how to fight and kill, and also different from those nerds who only knew how to read from books.
Zhang Anshi thought for a moment, thought Xu Jingyi such an age of girls may like what stories, and then fixed his mind, before saying: “The story is that when Nuwa mending the sky, only used 36,500 pieces of spirit stone, only one left alone did not use, it will be this piece of stone, discarded in the ridge of the green peaks, who knows that after the exercise of the stone, the spirit has been through the ……”
Xu Jingyi listened extremely attentively, and also found it more and more interesting the more she listened.
Zhang Anshi also speak de colorful, in fact, this is the story of the Dream of the Red Chamber, Zhang Anshi of course can not be the original Dream of the Red Chamber backwards and forwards, but as a later generation of familiar classics, roughly the content of the story, he does know roughly, some of the classic bridge, memory is deeper.
Just seeing Zhang Anshi’s mouth was so full of words, the more Xu Jingyi listened to it, the more surprised she was.
But at this moment, a small head outside was originally probing, as if poking around for something, the owner of this small head, it seems, also began to listen with interest.
Even at the back, this little guy tiptoed around and moved a brocade pier, and while Zhang Anshi was talking, he obediently moved behind Zhang Anshi and sat up, also resting his cheeks and listening.
Zhang Anshi spoke for two incense sticks, his mouth was thirsty, and he turned back, but he saw that there was suddenly a strange teenager in the side hall.
Zhang Anshi said, “Who are you?”
This young man is none other than Yi Wang Zhu, Zhu saw Zhang Anshi questioning him and immediately stood up, crossed his arms and said, “Scare you to death when you say it, Emperor Taizu Gao …….”
Zhang Anshi was indeed frightened to hear that Emperor Taizu Gao was indeed frightened.
I only saw Zhu continue, “It’s my father.”
Zhang Anshi roughly remembered that this person seemed to be Yi Wang Zhu who was kept in the palace.
He relaxed at once, thinking that the coffin board of Emperor Tai Zu Gao hadn’t been pressed down.
But he saw Zhang Anshi say, “Go, pour me a cup of tea.”
When Zhu heard this, he was furious: “I am the son of Emperor Taizu Gao, and His Majesty is my royal brother, enthroned King Yi since he was a doll, and you dare to make me? You are so bold!”
He said on one side, and ran to the pantry next door in a flash, brought a cup of tea, and sent it to Zhang Anshi: “Don’t do that next time, I’ll get angry.”
Zhang Anshi sipped his tea and said, “How did you pour the tea here, it’s too hot to burn your mouth.”
Zhu then said angrily, “Don’t be ungrateful.”
After saying that, he went to the teahouse again in a flash, fetched a cup of new tea and handed it to Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi took a sip before saying, “Not bad, not bad, this is good.”
Xu Jingyi obviously recognized Yi Wang and said, “What brings Your Highness here.”
“I’ll keep an eye on him.” Zhu Dao, “No other men are allowed in the palace except for imperial brother and this king, and now that a man has rashly come in, shouldn’t this king keep an eye on him?”
Jingyi Xu: “……”
Zhang Anshi said, “I don’t want to stay either, I can’t wait to hurry up and leave!”
Yi Wang Zhu got angry again: “What is this, it is your honor to come to the palace, but you are still reluctant! Well, before the king is angry, quickly continue to tell the story, what happened to Sister Lin. ”
Zhang Anshi said contemptuously, “Why don’t you care about Jia Baoyu? I’m not going to speak today, I’m tired and my back hurts.”
Zhu huffed and puffed, “You are rude in front of the king, I will not spare you, the big deal is that I will give you a press to loosen your bones, usually the king has a sore back, it’s also those slave maids who press the king like this.”
After saying that, he went straight around behind Zhang Anshi and rubbed Zhang Anshi’s shoulders, then said, “Is this comfortable? How about this?”
Zhang Anshi was helpless, “Then I’ll speak.”
Xu Jingyi was only immersed in the story and seemed to think freely about the events in the Grand View Garden.
In fact, this kind of story is just right for Xu Jingyi and Zhu’s appetite, after all, they themselves grew up in the imperial palace and the public office, the world in the Red Chamber, couldn’t be more familiar with it, while the fate of the various characters in it, but most of all, it touches their hearts.
………
For several days in a row, Empress Xu did not see any sign of Zhu, so she called the eunuchs and inquired, “King Yi comes on weekdays, why is he not seen these days?”
The eunuch said, “His Highness King Yi has been at Uncle Cheng En’s place for the past few days, wasting his sleep and food.”
Empress Xu couldn’t help but smile sweetly, “Your Majesty is right, he’s the weasel of the Zhu family, making holes everywhere.”
The eunuch piled on the smiles and said, “His Highness, King Yi, is very happy about it, saying that he is Jia Baoyu.”
“Jia Baoyu?” Empress Xu frowned, “Who is Jia Baoyu?”
“Slave girl also do not know, only know …… that his highness said he will seek a Lin sister in the future.”
Empress Xu couldn t help but scold, “Sister …… look, he is even more shameless than His Majesty.”
The eunuch did not dare to respond to these words.
Instead, in the evening, Zhu Xing came, saying as he walked, “Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng …… No, imperial sister-in-law, imperial sister-in-law ……”
Chu bounced in.
A sweaty mess.
When Empress Xu saw him being so reckless, she was a little annoyed and a little heartbroken.
Empress Xu has three sons, one on the clan, two although both in the capital, but outside the palace.
Nowadays, this Zhu, is almost like Zhu Di and Empress Xu are raising him as their own son in the palace.
So Empress Xu stood up and took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, while saying, “What Wang Xifeng, what have you spied on again?”
Zhu’s eyes shone brightly and joyfully said, “I thought of a story to tell my imperial sister-in-law.”
“Stories?”
Empress Xu sat down, picked up the embroidery on the table, and said without a word: “When did my family, King Yi, even know how to tell a story, you come to tell it.”
Zhu then took his seat and began parroting the same speech.
Empress Xu didn’t care at first.
But the more you listen to it later, the more you feel that this story …… is quite interesting, the more you come to later, the more you feel that this story is actually a great mystery.
…………
At this time, in the Man Building.
Zhu was looking out the window with his hands behind his back.
Yilungha tiptoed in and said, “Your Majesty, Ji Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Brocade Guards, has arrived.”
“Well ……”
Ji Gang entered the hall noiselessly and saluted, “I have met Your Majesty.”
Zhu Di didn’t turn around to look at him, only looked at the dead leaves outside the window and said, “Autumn goes to spring, Ji Gang, it’s been two years since I ascended the throne, right?”
“Your Majesty, two years and April.”
Zhu Di nodded: “This is more than two years …… I still think about the scene when I raised the troops into Nanjing City, the past is vivid in my mind ah.”
Ji Zhan subconsciously looked up, and then he was busy dropping his head again.
As His Majesty’s confidant, guessing the emperor’s heart is a necessary skill for him, Ji Gang thought in his heart, could it be because of the matter of King Han offending His Majesty?
Ji Gang also did not expect, Zhang Anshi is Guo De Gan, had known that this person is the crown prince’s wife brother, he will certainly be ahead of time to probe, but also not to let the king of Han planted this heel.
Originally, Ji Gang only thought that it was just a highly skilled doctor, but even a highly skilled doctor can not sway the current situation, in order to avoid his majesty guessing his own, so he did not act presumptuously, and now, on the contrary, into the passive.
Zhu Di suddenly said, “Xu Huizu that stubborn donkey, how is it now, is the diet okay?”
“It’s okay, I can still eat three meals, but ……”
“But what?” Zhu Di turned around violently, his tiger eyes staring dead at Ji Gang.
Ji Gang said, “The Duke of Wei contracted some small wind chill two days ago and coughed for two days.”
Zhu Di frowned, “Why didn’t you come to report earlier.”
“The doctor said it’s just a small wind chill, it doesn’t matter ……”
Zhu Di gave a hmmm and added, “Did he mention me?”
“Nothing, just daily reading.”
“See what?”
“Springsteen mostly.”
“Get in the motherfucker, there’s not a lot of good that comes out of reading Springsteen.”
Keegan: “……”
Zhu Di suddenly turned around, paced a few steps, thoughtfully said, “That person …… can have eyebrows?”
Kizuna shivered in his heart, he knew very well who the person His Majesty was talking about was.
This is an extremely sensitive matter.
Ji Gang hung his head and said, “Your …… Majesty, I have already been poking around.”
“No news at all?”
“There is a message.”
Zhu said, “Oh?”
“Some people have spied that after he escaped from the palace at …… that time, he ran all the way to the sea, passed a sea ship, and fled overseas.”
“Overseas?” Zhu frowned deeper and deeper, he obviously didn’t want this outcome.
“Can you be sure?”
Ji Gang hesitated, “I don’t dare to make a guarantee.”
But after a pause, Ji Gang added: “However, I and the manpower to find this person, are the first class in the guards, catching the wind, spying news, can be described as a letter to pinch, this news …… ten seven eight is true.”
Zhu Di had his hands behind his back, tensed his face, and paced back and forth in deep thought.
“If he escapes from the sea, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find him in my lifetime, right?”
Ji Gang thought for a moment and said, “Actually …… there is another possibility, and that is that he is dead.”
Zhu only pursed his lips and looked at him.
Ji Gang carefully said, “In my prediction, if he is still alive, then he has gone out to sea, if he has not gone out to sea, then it is highly likely that he is dead somewhere.”
Zhu paused for a moment before saying, “In life, we must see people, and in death, we must see corpses.”
Ji Gang listened and shivered, “Here.”
Zhu Di sat down and abruptly asked Ji Gang, “How has King Han been doing lately?”
Kizuna’s heart just stuttered.
Because His Majesty did not authorize the Brocade Guards to spy on the King of Han.
There are some people …… Jinyiwei is not qualified to pry at all, such as the crown prince, such as the king of Han.
This is why, Zhang Anshi lights up.
Because the Brocade Guards rashly prying into the Crown Prince or the Han King, or even their relatives, would be considered to be involved in the dispute over the throne, which would be an extremely dangerous thing for Ji Gang to do.
He knew very well that these things would never be allowed.
Once His Majesty learns of this, it’s a death wish.
But now, His Majesty suddenly asked about the King of Han ……
This makes Ji Gang have to think, could it be that …… is hoping that in the future, Jin Yi Wei will pay ‘more attention’ to Han Wang?
If this is the case, is it safe to assume that His Majesty has become so disappointed in the King of Han that he has become wary?
Ji Gang lowered his head, knowing in his heart that any of his answers might cause His Majesty to speculate differently, “I don’t know.”
Zhu Di raised his hand to pick up the tealight, sipped the tea, before lightly saying, “Jin Yi Wei catches the wind and spies on the sea, can’t you just ask and not know? Next time, it must not be so.”
Ji Zang was shocked and uncertain, but on his face, he still looked like he had no waves in his expression, and clasped his hands and said, “Here.”
Only then did Zhu Di faintly say, “Go down.”
Kizuna retreated silently.
Only when Ji Gang went out did Yiluoha pour another hot tea for Zhu Di.
Zhu thoughtfully lapsed into silence.
Yizhuah then tiptoed to the side and made no sound of birth.
“Went overseas …… overseas …… overseas ……”
Zhu said several overseas in a row with a look of regret.
With that, he sighed and was speechless.
…………
Zhu Yong a few, go fast, come back even faster.
They were almost always fast horses all the way, and the horses changed hands.
Fortunately, this monk was cooperative and could ride on his own without bringing a burden, so he galloped all the way to the evening and finally returned to the capital.
Once they arrived in the capital, the three men then began to giggle.
After passing the Jinchuan Gate, Zhu Yong pulled Zhang Yoking to one side and said, “Second brother, the brocade bag only talked about returning to the capital, it didn’t say what to do next ah.”
Zhang Yoking was also in a difficult situation and could not help but say, “Oops, big brother lost his mind.”
“Bullshit.” Zhu Yong said, “How could big brother miscalculate, it must be that big brother thinks that we can definitely take care of this matter, or maybe he is testing our brothers, which is why he deliberately left a suspense!”
“This can be bad, the big brother previously in the brocade bag to explain, said that this must not let others know, but we can not rush into the palace at this time to go, how the palace will let us a few big sashay in.”
Zhang Yoking held his chin, at this time his brain was running at high speed, he squinted his eyes and said, “Why don’t we do it this way, we can’t say it to outsiders, but your father can always say it, your father, Duke Cheng, has always been cunning, I think he has a way.”
When Zhu Yong heard this, he immediately became angry and scolded, “Your father is the only one who is old and cunning, my father is as stupid as a dumb donkey, how is he old and cunning.”
When Zhang Yoking heard this, he said, “My elder brother said this ah, Qusong his father also said this, fourth brother, you come to comment.”
Chuson clutched his bag tightly and stood frozen, not saying a word.
Zhu Yong had to say: “First don’t quarrel, then look for big brother to comment is, no matter how, first do serious things matter, I think about it, or first go to find my father.”
After the discussion was finalized, the group escorted the monk to the Duke of Cheng’s residence.
Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Neng was very happy these days, although his own son had run away, but he wasn’t worried at all.
In his opinion, the old man at this age, have gone to the desert to fight the Tartars, the son of the dog out of love to do what do what, so as not to eat at home, looking angry.
But the revenue brought by the brother ship industry, but let him happy, daily shelved in the study, this army general, now all day long and a pile of accounts to deal with, pain and pleasure.
Waiting for the doorkeeper to come in a hurry, he said, “Master, master, the young master is back.”
“Don’t argue, just come back, I’m counting the accounts.” Zhu Neng impatiently said, without lifting his head a bit he continued to stare at the newly delivered accounts from Brother Shipyard.
But I heard the doorkeeper say again, “Young master also brought a few people with him, and the dukes of Duke Qi and Duke Rong are also there.”
Zhu Neng finally reluctantly removed his eyes from the account book, cursed: “I really unlucky, gave birth to a son of a dog, he also made some fox friends, all to be bad in their hands, I created what sin.”
While cursing, he went to the center hall.
But as soon as he saw Qiu Song and Zhang Yoking, but then piled up smiles, “Haha, nephews have come ah, ah, ah, grow taller, good, good, Qiu Song, you do not come home for so long, your father’s eyes are red. And Zhang yoking, how can you be so careless, your elder brother poking around you.”
The three men greeted each other.
Zhu Neng looked up and saw that there was another monk behind them, so he smiled and said, “Why is there another monk coming, hey ……”
He mumbled in a low voice: “This is not bad luck, my family has just had good luck and is going to be rich …….”
“Father.” Zhu Yong smiled sarcastically, “We came to seek you out, we came to ask you to see what advice we have, this monk’s status is not ordinary.”
Chu Neng said, “Say what you have to say, fart when you have to fart, don’t nag.”
Zhu Yong lowered his voice and said, “He is Emperor Jianwen ……”
Zhu Neng heard, eyes are straight, and then picked up Zhu Yong, backhand to his butt is a slap, the side of the road: “Can not be nonsense, you this bastard boy, what words dare to say. Also Jianwen, this Jianwen has been hidden for two years, how many people can not be found, just with a few of you ……”
Zhu Yong was beaten and screamed, feeling that he had lost face, so he said angrily, “It doesn’t hurt, father, you don’t have enough to eat, do you? Use more force if you can.”
Zhang yoking horses on the sidelines is to look at the shivering.
Chuson sniffled and subconsciously began to hunt for the bag he was carrying.
Zhu Yong suddenly remembered something and then shook out a robe from his own bosom: “Look at this, look at this.”
Zhu Neng then lowered his head and seemed to notice the oddity of the robe as well, so he busily put down Zhu Yong and picked up the robe.
It was better not to see this, but at first glance, Zhu Neng’s whole head got dizzy.
“It’s really …… really him ……”
Zhu Neng actually began to panic a little, saying, “Oh my God, how can you lead them home, can this kind of person be led home easily?”
Zhu Yong said, “We don’t know what to do, big brother didn’t say.”
“Big brother?” Zhu Neng froze, “You mean Zhang Anshi?”
“Yeah. Big brother ordered us to find it.”
Zhu Neng finally from the panic, began to slowly calm down, he took a deep breath, before he said, “This thing is too big, too big ah, I honestly tell you …… that this is not a joke, now …… you hurry! Follow me, escort him to the palace, a moment can not be delayed, and …… on the road you did not feel free to mention it to people. ”
“Big brother ordered it a long time ago, don’t worry, Father.”
Zhu Neng took another deep breath and could not help but say in his heart, still the closest and most beloved Zhang Xian Nephew has the ability to do things with a brain.
Fuckin’ ……
He glanced up at the monk, then took another deep breath, this was a complete fucking masterpiece.
Zhu Neng did not hesitate any longer, and took a few people with him at fire speed, escorting the monk into the palace.
At this time, the sky was already dusky, and a colorful sunset fell over the earth.
It was really late, but fortunately, the noon gate was not yet closed.
Zhu Neng to the noon gate, the eunuchs and forbidden guards guarding the door said, “See Cheng Guo Gong, Cheng Guo Gong it is not early ……”
“Inform immediately, I will enter the palace today, no matter when!” Zhu Neng did not hesitate.
The eunuchs and forbidden guards looked at each other, looking embarrassed.
Because this time …… is indeed no longer the time to enter the palace.
So the eunuch smiled and said, “I don’t know what Your Excellency is up to, so that when the slave girl goes to report, she will have a reason to do so.”
Zhu Neng, however, glared and laughed coldly, “Heavenly matters, these I would dare to say out, the problem is that you have the life to listen to it? Quickly go and inform and tell His Majesty that he has to see me today no matter what, even if he has to kill my head, he has to see it before he kills it.”
Having said that, the eunuch no longer dared to ask more questions.
He ran to the Wen and Wu Buildings, only to learn that His Majesty had already set sail for the Great House.
And so they hurried to the great interior again.
And at this time, Zhu Di and Empress Xu were already in the bedchamber.
Empress Xu was smilingly telling Zhu Di about Yi Wang Zhu: “Don’t look at him as small, but he tells stories in a colorful manner, like a storyteller.”
Zhu Di then said, “He is sneaky every day, I see, can be a brocade secret agent, let him be a Prince is too condescending.”
Empress Xu then pursed her lips and smiled, but it still looked like she had something on her mind.
Zhu suddenly said, “Ji Gang of the brocade guards said …… that person may have gone overseas.”
Empress Xu subconsciously frowned when she heard this.
Went overseas, only to find forever, his elder brother, can always think that his majesty regicide ……
However, she was calm, said, “Ji Gang s work, has always been stable and proper, he both said so, it seems …… that it is indeed so, far away from the overseas is good, your majesty leave him a life.”
Zhu Di, however, looked lost, and then smiled bitterly, “It is not a question of whether to stay alive or not, just some things …… are not clear, really like a fish in the throat.”
At this time, a eunuch came in a hurry and said outside the hall, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty …….”
Zhu said unhappily, “Come in.”
The eunuch came in with broken steps, panting, “Duke Cheng seeks an audience.”
Zhu Di was furious: “Is this old man out of his mind? Do not know what time it is? I have moved to the inner city, tell him, not to see, have something to say, tomorrow to say.”
The eunuch can only harden his head and say, “Your Majesty …… Cheng Guo Gong said that he must see even if he doesn t see today, even if he has to lose his head, he will wait until after the audience first.”
When Zhu Di heard it, but he was silent, because he knew very well that this person, Duke Cheng Guo, was reckless on the surface, but in reality, his heart was as fine as a hair.
Such a man would never be so hairy until he had to be, or if there was a heavenly thing to do.
So Zhu said, “Declare him to come in, and be quick about it.”
Empress Xu couldn’t help but say, “Your Majesty, meet here?”
Zhu Di glanced at Empress Xu.
Empress Xu smiled sweetly and said: ”The rules of the great inner circle are strict, ahem we were in the Beiping King’s mansion. He and his majesty, are not all in front of my concubine’s face, drinking and comparing riding and shooting? Things are urgent, call him to come, not to mention that my concubine would like to know, what exactly happened. ”
Empress Xu is not a simple woman, that can be true that she has personally trained female soldiers and gone to war.
Zhu nodded, “Order him to come quickly.”
One incense stick later.
Duke Zhu Neng of Cheng Guo entered the grand inner sanctum, and after entering the bedchamber, Zhu Yong paid his respects without slanting his eyes, “I have met Your Majesty.”
Zhu sized him up, “How dare you.”
“Your Majesty, I had to come, please forgive me.” With that, Zhu Neng said towards Empress Xu, “Greetings to Your Majesty, how is Your Majesty?”
Empress Xu smiled affectionately, “Call your sister-in-law, that’s what you used to call her.”
Originally, at this time, Chu Neng was sure to be all energized and say some nonsense.
However, he has a grave expression today and said, “Your Majesty, Your Majesty …… Chen came to the palace for only one thing.”
Zhu said, “If you have a fart, let it go.”
Zhu Neng popped out two words from his own mouth, “Jianwen ……”
“What?”
“Your Majesty, Jianwen …… has found his whereabouts.”
Zhu was shocked.
Empress Xu also moved.
Zhu was in a hurry, suppressing his hoarse voice while murderous eyes, looking to the left and right.
The eunuchs on the left and right retreated like a tidal wave.
Zhu Di said, “Didn’t he go out to sea? How come he found it again? Where is the person …… where is the person?”
“Just outside the palace!”
Zhu Di heart shocked, a moment of excitement can not even self.
Please ask for a monthly ticket ah ask for a monthly ticket, so miserable ah, being pressed on the ground friction ah, classmates, support.
