Chapter 90 – Zhu Yunzhu enters the palace

Zhu Di actually didn’t mind the death of Emperor Jianwen.

If they were really dead, it would be fine if they saw the body.

But if you’re not dead and you don’t see anyone, that’s a different story.

On the one hand, how wronged must one be to be mistaken for regicide and nephew-killing when one clearly didn’t slaughter him?

On the other hand, it is this Jianwen, who is ultimately a hidden danger.

Since it was a hidden danger, it should at least be under his nose.

Zhu Di paced back and forth, quite excited, but in his heart he still felt …… that this matter was somewhat mysterious.

So Zhu Di looked up at Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Neng and said, “Have you seen Zhu Yunwen?”

“Nope.” Zhu Neng said, “Your Majesty, you know my minister, before my minister’s pacification, I have been in the Beiping army, where can I see him?”

Zhu Di said: “Since you have never seen, how do you believe is him? I can say ugly words in front, you if you are also nonsense, I have to pick your skin.”

Junen: “……”

In fact, it is not to blame Zhu Di, Zhu Di has been scared of the whole, his own son, have made a Guo De Gang is Guo De Gan a play, to now …… this thing also makes him a big brain hurt it.

Now it would be a real crying shame to have another fake Jianwen.

Empress Xu, who was seated on the side, stood up, she also looked quite a bit agitated, “Your Majesty, Duke Cheng is a person who recognizes the importance of the situation, and will definitely not make a joke at this juncture.”

Zhu Di heard, the heart is clear, Empress Xu see people is very accurate, think carefully, Zhu Neng is indeed small things to pretend to be confused, the big things have never fallen off the chain.

So Zhu Di took a deep breath and gazed at Zhu Neng before saying, “This is a great work, I did not expect Zhu Qing to make such a great achievement, first escort the person to me to see a see.”

Zhu Neng busily said, “Where can I find this ……?”

Zhu Di now does not have the heart to care about this, interrupted him: “This matter is very big, know the matter of the less people the better, the people in the palace …… should also try to prevent, you personally go to the noon gate, bring my waist plate, and after and guard Jianwen people, will be escorted to my face to come. ”

Jounen shook himself, in fact, he thought so.

On the one hand, the rush to bring people into the palace is that Jianwen must not be allowed to spend the night in Nanjing city before meeting Zhu Di. Because once you spend the night, a lot of things can’t be said.

On the other hand, the fewer people who knew about it, the better, and Jounen had a keen sense of smell, especially on this.

“I’ll get on with it.”

As soon as Junon left.

Instead, Zhu was waiting with his hands behind his back and a tense face, pacing anxiously.

A million past events swept through his mind.

There is the great ancestor high emperor, there was the original prince Zhu Biao, naturally …… less this Jianwen emperor Zhu Yunwen.

For a moment, a thousand past events flooded into his heart with mixed feelings.

Empress Xu was still calm and didn’t have so many thoughts, she just sat down and put on her motherly demeanor. Instead, she reminded Zhu Di, “Your Majesty should change your clothes.”

“Changing clothes?” Zhu Di looked at Empress Xu in surprise.

Then he woke up and shook himself, “Yes, dressing, someone ……”

Hearing Zhu call out, Yiluoha came in at a quick pace.

“Dressing.”

Yizhuoha is a little confused, this is to the night, and not to participate in the rituals and court ……

After all, even in the daytime, His Majesty wouldn’t change into a dragon robe, that thing looks intimidating, but it’s very inconvenient to wear.

Without asking any more questions, Koyoneha nodded and immediately went to prepare.

After a while, Zhu Di wore a crown of Tongtian on his head and a majestic five-clawed golden dragon robe.

Empress Xu was also wearing a phoenix crown and phoenix clothes, dignified and unassuming.

Zhu Di had a high seat, while Empress Xu sat in a side seat in the center of the hall.

The couple was speechless and fell into a long wait.

On the other hand, Zhu Neng got the decree, then quickly rushed to the noon gate, then took out the emperor’s credentials, screened off the eunuchs and guards at the noon gate, and then led Zhu Yong, Zhang Yoking and Qiu Song three people, escorted the monk into the Imperial City.

“You …… put your baggage down.”

Holding the bag, Chu Song stood unyielding and confronted Chu Neng.

Zhu Neng said: “You motherfucker is not brain broken, don’t think I don’t know what you have in this baggage, believe it or not I’ll kick you to death on behalf of your father.”

Zhu Yong stepped aside and snatched Qusong’s bag off, “Listen to my father.”

It was only then that Chuson loosened the bag with a fondness.

With that, the four joined hands and entered the palace.

The monk crossed into the Forbidden City with confusion in his eyes.

Obviously, his life, although in and out of the Forbidden City countless times, and even this Forbidden City was once his home, but he has never been in and out of this Noon Gate, what he saw and felt, familiar and unfamiliar.

Only the monk remained calm, he had actually accepted his current self a long time ago.

Once upon a time, he dominated the destinies of all the people in the world, but now, he can’t even dominate his own destiny.

The man is the chopper and I am the fish.

He did not struggle, nor did he ever entertain the thought of flight, and his feet went calmly, deeper and deeper into what had been his most familiar palace court.

When he arrived at the Jinshui Bridge, his eyes lingered briefly in the turbulent river below it.

But soon, he shed the lingering look in his eyes and resolved to go.

Zhu Neng and the three murderers of the capital city ignored him, although Zhu Neng usually talked more, but always, Zhu Neng did not say just a word to the monk.

All the way to Ouchi.

Before they arrived, Zhu Di had ordered Yilungha to disperse all the palace eunuchs and eunuchs along the way.

Only Yiluoha is here to receive it.

Yiluoha met Zhu Neng, looking at the several people behind him, he had a smile on his face, as if he had seen everything, but also as if he had not seen anything, and then he hung his head down, carrying a lantern, leading the way.

All the way to the bedchamber.

Yilungha entered the hall first, not daring to look directly at the towering Zhu Di and Empress Xu, and prostrated himself here and said, “Your Majesty, Your Highness, people are coming.”

Zhu Di looked at the door of the temple wrapped in darkness behind Yiluoha and was silent for a moment.

“Xuan.”

Yiluoha nodded his head and sang in a loud voice, “Enter!”

Chu Neng played the lead, followed by the three murderers of the capital.

At this time, however, Zhu Di’s attention was clearly not on these four people.

His eyes fell on the monk walking at the end of the line.

It’s only been a few years, but it’s been a long time coming.

The monk in front of him had long since changed from the royal grandson he was.

But Zhu still recognized him at once.

Nothing wrong with that.

It’s Joo Yoon Moon.

Chu’s heart stirred.

In fact, for a moment, breathing heavily, a long time unable to speak.

When really …… is he!

Empress Xu’s phoenix eyes flowed slightly, obviously recognizing someone as well.

She smiled slightly and assumed a graceful appearance, her speech and behavior, all appropriate.

Zhu Yunwen hung his head and didn’t say a word.

Zhu Di is still sitting steadily high, eyes staring at Zhu Yunwen, finally opened his mouth and said, “Huangkao if in, see you actually so, I do not know what will think.”

Zhu Yunwen still hangs his head low, but first declared a Buddha’s name, before saying, “If the Imperial Examiner is there, to see the fourth uncle like this, and what will think?”

Zhu Di laughed out loud, “Haha, ungrateful little child, could it be that by now, he still doesn’t know how to die.”

Zhu Yunwen was silent for a moment before he added, “I’ve already died once, or rather, I’ve already died long ago, and what remains today is nothing more than a walking corpse.”

Zhu Di said, “How did you escape that day?”

Zhu Yunwen said, “It is easy to escape one person from the Forbidden City.”

Zhu Di, on the other hand, added: “When you cut the vassal, have you ever thought of today?”

Zhu Yunwen said, “What’s wrong with cutting the clan?”

Uncle and nephew, a war of words.

Empress Xu only sat upright, smiling all the time.

Having seen all the big storms and waves, these many waves were obviously nothing to her.

Zhu Yong, Zhang Yoking two, on the other hand, listened with great interest, only hate to shout, “Fight, hurry up and fight.”

Only Zhu Neng heart screamed bitterly, if I had known that the party should have retired, and now stay here, go and not, not go and not, these words are he can listen to?

Only Zhu Di gazed at Zhu Yunwen, smiled, and said, “Cutting the clan is indeed the right thing to do, the Imperial Examiner values his own children and grandchildren too much, and once they are divided up, the Zhu family’s children and grandchildren are endless, and after a thousand years, how will the imperial court be able to provide for them?”

Zhu Yunwen also seemed to have not expected Zhu Di to admit this, so he said, “Since Fourth Uncle thinks it is right, then the so-called pacification, is it not laughable?”

He went out on a limb, and today he just wanted to make a point.

Zhu Di said, “The cutting of the clan is right or wrong, it has nothing to do with your situation today, whether it’s right or wrong, it doesn’t prevent you from becoming a bereaved dog today!”

Zhu Yunwen was speechless.

Zhu Di laughed coldly, ”Your so-called cutting the clan, is it just forcing the death of your uncle’s whole family, is it abolishing them one by one as commoners? Foolish fool! If you are not unattainable fool, how would I be here today, taking on the heavenly order, following the great lineage of my ancestors.”

“It was just a fluke on the part of the disorganized ministers.”

These words suddenly caused Zhu to change color.

Zhu Di became furious, and even subconsciously wanted to raise the ink stone on the case and smash it towards Zhu Yunwen.

But finally, he raised the ink stone, and gently put the ink stone down, tiger eyes swept through a glint of light, said: “If it is a fluke, I am just a royal family, how can I get the world? Heh, you stupid thing, the real skills of the Imperial Exam did not learn a few, but still dare to speak loudly here. Do you think …… that what you cut the clan against is just a district of a few royal families?”

After a moment’s pause, Zhu continued, “Do you think that, with those few Xiu Cai corrupt scholars in the court and a paper edict, you can teach the whole world to obey you?”

Questioned repeatedly, Zhu Yunwen did not answer.

Zhu Di then said: “Do you know, you are facing, is a thousand when the desert, in the grasslands, in the Gobi, in the snow, snow high above the knee, but also in the snow field running hundreds of thousands of miles, just to find the opportunity to fight, as well as those who galloped all night after the physical and mental fatigue, but encountered the thieves, still defiantly kill the Hanzi. Do you know why they are centrifugal, preferring to follow me to pacify, but also want to pull you off the horse?”

In Zhu Yunwen’s eyes, that dazed look unconsciously surfaced again.

Obviously, he didn’t think about that.

As soon as Chu Neng heard it, but it seemed to give birth to some memories, he fell into deep thought.

Zhu Di is laughing: “This is because, your so-called cut the clan, but is a joke, you want to cut is me, is your many uncles! You succeeded the great system, of course the spring breeze, you think that let a reading scholar, will read a few words of the four books and five sutras of people, take your decree, can come to Beiping, the command.”

“Do you know that when these civil traitors arrived at Beiping and faced so many generals and soldiers, they were so arrogant, yelling and shouting, their eyes were so high above the top. They think highly of themselves and regard the soldiers who fought in blood as if they were grass, and regard themselves as clear and people as turbid.”

Zhu Di said here, showing the color of contempt, the voice more and more calm: “District a minister, read a few more books only, you can live in the temple, for the heart and soul of the bone, in front of you a few words of nonsense, you will believe it, order these people as a minister, and wherever they go, everyone has to meet him. The funny thing is, this kind of person to the north, appointed as a supervisor, he said the literary words, those countless time and time again set up a horse leather wrapped body ambition, the blood of the generals, actually can not understand.”

“Generals a little disobedience, he will be furious, think he has millions of soldiers, always on the generals scolding and abusing. Those who have made great achievements in the military generals, when it was followed by Emperor Taizu, followed by the King of Zhongshan, followed by me, climbed out of the mountains and seas of blood, they were followed by the Imperial Examination of the world, and since then with the King of Zhongshan, chasing the dead north, and the Tartars to the death, the war, the achievements, too numerous to mention, such meritorious military ministers, to the side of you only know how to dance the word in front of the words of the ministers, but had to bend their backs, and then the great anger, also need to bear down, everywhere was trampled, not a day to suffer from humiliation, not a single day. Need to bear down, everywhere being trampled on, no day is not aggrieved.”

Said here, Zhu Di bare his teeth and cracked his eyes: “So up to now, you still think, you are cutting the clan? What you cut the clan, I and your uncles? If you have a little bit of wisdom, not gullible around those who only know how to dance the ink, afraid of me and the brothers, has long been head to the ground. But you …… with the most drastic means to humiliate your uncle, insulting countless border towns of the generals, forcing them, so that they even want to do a common rich people can not get, I and the generals, the seven-foot male, and I and your uncles, as you are, are all the royal exam after, living in your grandson under the not bad, how can you also Endure in front of those damned word ministers around you to live and let live?”

Zhu Yunwen’s originally wave-free eyes seemed to fluctuate slightly.

He tried hard to calm himself.

But Zhu’s words were no less than a huge stone thrown into the depths of his calm heart.

Zhu Di laughed, laugh contemptuous, but his finger Zhu Neng, and then said: “Do you know who this person is? This person is called Zhu Neng, he was only a Beiping district of a deputy thousand households only, and you know, this person has the courage of a million, the conquest of the desert north, he is the king of the pioneers, put to death countless Tartars. When you want to send people to put me to death, he took the lead in controlling the nine gates of Beiping, but also led the army to successively defeat Geng Bingwen, Li Jinglong, and captured Ping An and other Er’s famous generals in Lingbi, and surrendered 100,000 official troops, such a person …… can be used for me, and you are filled with what is the cats and dogs around you?”

Zhu Neng lifted up his chest and said, “My original merit is nothing, the greatest fortune in this life is to meet Your Majesty, so that I can show my strengths, and for this, even though I die, I have no regrets.”

Zhu Yong felt for the first time, his usually stupid, only know full of bullshit father, in this moment, as if scattered light.

At this time, Zhu Di’s finger pointed to Zhang Yoking again, said: “His father Zhang Ying, when it was only the Commander of the left guard of Beiping, but the battle of Dongping, heard that I was in danger, defiantly, killed hundreds of thousands of troops, and finally died of exhaustion.”

Zhu Yunwen’s eyelids were slightly drooping, but there was only silence.

“These people …… are all top men, and I can write down all their achievements. Then you? When you first sat here, know what is the situation outside the Forbidden City? Your side in addition to those who only know the dead book nerds, and how many people …… know the pain of the war, know the sands, how dangerous, know how many people …… from the time they went on the warpath, their parents, wives and children, leaning on the door and hope that every day, fear and trembling! The first thing you need to know is that there is no day when you don’t think about what you’re doing.”

“You don’t know!” Zhu bellowed.

And then, Zhu continued, “You think, the throne is falling from the sky, you think …… the subjects rightfully deserve to be loyal to you. You think those men and women can deserve to die for you!”

“You even have the delusion that by relying on a few bullshit books, as long as you read the books correctly, the world can be ruled. Ha …… Huangkao is what kind of hero, but there are still such ungrateful children and grandchildren like you!”

Zhu Yunwen’s body trembled slightly.

He’s obviously analyzed the successes and failures.

He has thought about many things, nothing more than how cunning the fourth uncle is, or …… how shameless Li Jinglong is.

But now …… Zhu Di is directly the last bit of his cover cloth, also unreservedly torn down.

Zhu Di tiger eye angrily staring at Zhu Yunwen, the face of the smile is even colder: “Chaos minister fluke only, so this is what you think in your heart, to this day, if you still think so, you do not feel ridiculous?”

Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, “To this day, it is useless to speak more.”

Zhu Di faintly said, “If you were not an unworthy descendant of the Imperial Examiner, why would I need to say more?”

Zhu Yunwen seemed to have touched something, his eyes suddenly contained tears, he certainly hoped that he could show a stubborn side in front of Zhu Di.

But now …… finally still a line of tears sprinkled down: “Poor monk indeed have a negative imperial examination of the expectations.”

“Huangkao in heaven have soul, know this world, still have me, must be smiling nine springs. As for you …… you forced the death of Xiang Wang’s whole family, insulted the king’s uncle, appointing thieves, and not only is there a negative imperial examination of the hope?”

Zhu Di’s chin lifted up, looking at Zhu Yunwen disdainfully, “You don’t have to say the words of becoming a king or losing a bandit, you don’t deserve it!”

Zhu Yunwen only sighed softly.

Empress Xu, however, smiled and stood up, saying, “Uncle and nephew meet, why should they be so crossbowed? Concubine personally go to open some food and wine, Zhu Yunwen this way, afraid also hard, what is there to say, even if in the future to kill or kill, but also first eat a mouthful of rice.”

Zhu Di gave Empress Xu a sideways glance.

He seemed to understand something.

At this time today, the scolding has been done, and how to deal with it next is of course another matter.

But after all, this person in front of him, is his brother Zhu Biao’s son, when this person in front of him, I do not know whether it is confusing or false benevolence, at least said a do not hurt my uncle, this last bit of courtesy, but also need to be thoughtful.

So Zhu said, “Then go and order the catering room.”

Empress Xu warmly said: “I have not been under the kitchen for a long time, other skills do not, but a few bowls of vegetarian noodles always know under.”

The couple looked at each other, each other’s mind is already connected, Zhu nodded.

Empress Xu then moved off.

Only a few Zhu Neng were left behind, becoming more and more embarrassed.

Will it be embarrassing later when the motherfucking mama doesn’t give us the bottom and just lets us watch and eat?

Zhu Di stood up at this time, with his hands behind his back, and suddenly eased his tone a bit, “This Imperial Aunt of yours, is the most knowledgeable and reasonable, and her temperament is the same as that of Empress Dowager Cixiao.”

There was shame and bewilderment on Zhu Yunwen’s face, but he didn’t say a word.

Not long after, Empress Xu had changed her attire, but only a piece of cloth, personally carrying a jade plate, which contained six bowls of noodles.

Once he saw that it was six bowls, Zhu Neng gently breathed a sigh of relief, and this old face was saved.

Empress Xu said, “Your Majesty come and lend a hand.”

Zhu Zhi would understand and glared at Zhu Neng, who gave an oh-so-subtle cry and went to join Zhu in carrying a table.

At that moment, the table was set down, Empress Xu set aside the veggie noodles and greeted the three Zhu Yongs, saying, “You guys think you’re hungry, come on.”

So Zhu Di unreservedly sat in the first place, Queen Xu accompanied, the capital of the three murderers also nonchalantly on the table.

Zhu Yunwen hesitated a little and finally sat on the end seat.

Zhu sucked in his veggie noodles and feasted on them.

Junon is much more svelte.

Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking ate with their heads down.

Only Qusong took a bite and put down his chopsticks in stagnation.

Zhu looked up, “What?”

Chusong said, “There’s no meat, it doesn’t smell good.”

Zhu Neng glared at him at once and knocked him hard on the head with a popping chestnut: “Eat your heart out.”

Chuson was so angry that he wanted to hunt for his bag.

Zhu Di continued to suck and eat, one side said: “Hongwu 25 years, the death of his brother, I went to Nanjing mourning, then see Zhu Yunwen when you, it is perceived that you are the weak Lord, categorically can not take on such a big task, but unfortunately, the Royal Examiner sadness, or will be placed on the hope of your body, so far, still think about it, still stifled.”

Zhu Yunwen ate two mouthfuls of veggie noodles, only but he had no appetite at all.

Zhu Di then glanced at Zhu Neng, at this time like pulling a family affair, mouth said, “You old piker, how could you even find him?”

“Where is it that I found it.” Zhu Neng laughed bitterly, “Your Majesty, it was these three boys …… who sent it to me, and I was shocked …… when I saw it.”

When he said he was surprised, his eyes were as big as light bulbs, as if he was really surprised.

Zhu Neng wiped his mouth and added: “So it was sent to you overnight, but I have disturbed your majesty, your majesty is not to be blamed.”

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yong three people in surprise: “The three of you …… and how did you find people, where did he find them?”

“It was at a temple in Fujian, we listened to big brother, big brother gave us a map of the public opinion and a brocade bag, we followed big brother’s instructions and rushed to Fujian.” Zhu Yong said with a big swagger.

Fang, Zhu Di only thought about this Zhu Yunwen in front of him.

There was not yet the heart to calculate why this man had been found.

But now he heard Zhu Yong and the three of them say that they had found the people according to Zhang Anshi’s instructions.

Zhu Di instantly remembered that Zhang Anshi had indeed spoken to him about finding someone before, and Zhu Di was dismissive about it at the time.

When asked thereafter, the Kam Yee Guards replied that it was very likely that they had gone far away overseas.

Zhu Di thought more and more surprised, half of the vegetarian noodles hanging on the edge of the mouth, open the mouth, the vegetarian noodles will slip back into the bowl, can not help but say: “Zhang Anshi? Zhang Anshi this kid how to know? This guy, could it be that he still has the immortal method?”

“By the way, where has Zhang Anshi gone, call me.”

Empress Xu said, “It’s still in the side hall, isn’t it guarding Jingruo?”

Zhu Zhui suddenly realized, coldly snorted and said, “Damn it, this is the time to be childish.”

Empress Xu: “……”

“He couldn’t be better in the palace, quickly …… call him to me.”

Zhu was in a hurry.

Empress Xu said, “I’ll go there myself.”

It’s not a good time to delegate to outsiders.

When Zhu Di heard this, he said, “Tough on you.”

Zhu Di ate the noodles, and when he saw that Zhu Yunwen was still eating without a break, he laughed coldly.

On the contrary, Chu Neng was so embarrassed that he fidgeted.

…………

In the side hall.

As soon as it was evening, Yi Wang Zhu moved the small brocade pier and sat down silently.

Then resting his cheeks, he waited for Zhang Anshi to tell the story.

Xu Jingruo’s body has been greatly improved, already know to pour tea for Zhang Anshi.

Just this disease is good or bad, in the end, it is not her and Zhang Anshi to say, at the moment there is nowhere to go, so they have to be so stalemated.

She pours tea for Zhang Anshi, who speaks with great eloquence.

Today spoke to the most wonderful place, anxious Yi Wang Zhu dying to live, constantly urging: “Quickly say ah, quickly say ah, ah, you have to this king to punish you? Not that Jia Baoyu first try cloud and rain? Where is the cloud, where is the rain? How to try ah.”

Xu Jingruo listened to a half-understanding, already blushing, said: “You do not ask la, this paragraph skipped, I do not want to hear.”

Yi Wang Zhu was suddenly furious, a moment of excitement, fiercely wide-eyed: “This king advised you not to be ungrateful, this king can be a generation longer than you, family father Ming Taizu.”

Xu Jingruo frowned, “You …… you pinched me.”

Yi Wang Zhu hastened to lighten his hand a bit, his fingertips curled up into a ball, changing kneading into a small fist gently tapping, on the one hand, said: “Is it much lighter now, does it still hurt, will it be better?”

Xu Jingruo was silent for a moment and nodded, “It’s gotten a bit better, you shouldn’t always pinch with your fingertips, it will hurt a bit.”

“Oh.” Zhu nodded earnestly, “You said earlier not it won’t hurt, you’re so big and still don’t know, if it’s not because you’re a patient, I’m going to be angry, I’m angry, I’m afraid of myself.”

After saying that, he continued to gently rub his shoulders and pound his back.

Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu’s bitchy face and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Think of Taizu Gao emperor, that is what a good man …… but his son …… on this?

Zhang Anshi cleared his throat and said, “Today, we will not talk about the first test of cloud and rain, we will first talk about the first time Liu Lou Lou into the Rongguo Mansion. ”

Zhu tonton was angry again, hammer back of the hand are clenched more tightly, angry grit teeth chaotic screamed: “not, not listen to Liu Lou Lou, I want to listen to the first test of cloud and rain.”

Zhang Anshi scolded, “You little lecher, if you keep ghosting, I’ll kick you out.”

Zhu frowned, but said, “Then tell me about Liu Lou Lou, I can listen to Liu Lou Lou.”

As he was talking, a voice from outside suddenly said, “Which Liu Lou Lou?”

As soon as Zhu Yi heard the voice, he instantly behaved himself and came forward in a flash: “Greetings to imperial sister-in-law.”

Hearing this, Zhang Anshi and Xu Jingruo also busied themselves with seriousness and got up, the two of them saluting in unison.
