my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 89
Zhu Yong put the clothes away, and glanced at the monk: "My brother told me in the kit, just to teach you to walk with us, and will never embarrass you along the way, even if you get to the place...it must be It can save your life. There is no way for you to hide here after all, you might as well go to the capital and speak clearly."

The monk did not ask who Zhu Yong's elder brother was.

But still calmly said: "Then... please lead the way."

Zhu Yong didn't expect it to be so smooth, he couldn't help but look at the monk a few more times.

Zhang Fu winked at the side.

Qiu Song held his bag calmly, but looked around vigilantly.

………………

Zhang Anshi couldn't understand why Xu Jingyi stayed here to recuperate even though she was alive and kicking.

As a doctor himself, he had to stay here all the time.

But obviously Zhu Di didn't give Zhang Anshi any reason to argue.

Zhang Anshi could only obediently stay in this side hall.

Fortunately, after chatting with Xu Jingyi for a few words, they finally got to know each other gradually.

Mainly between the two, after all, they are in the same social relationship.

For example, Zhang Anshi knew her brother.

For example, Xu Jingyi also recognizes Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu.

And Qiu Song.

Of course, the impression does not seem to be very good, the three are not good people.

Zhang Anshi sighed in his heart, fortunately I have changed my ways and started a new life, if not, I am afraid that I will be notorious just like the three brothers.

That Spring and Autumn has been overturned.

Zhang Anshi simply threw it aside, he even suspected that Zhu Di must have premeditated sending Chunqiu away.

So Zhang Anshi got closer, and while chatting, bored, he simply said: "Let's tell a story."

Xu Jingyi also lost a little bit of shyness. In fact, she is the daughter of a military official after all, and she doesn't have so many rules like those ladies of the family. She also deals with some visiting teenagers on weekdays.

If it wasn't for the experience of a 'marriage', meeting Zhang Anshi would probably be generous.

And she didn't have her feet bound. You know, the late Empress Gao was called Ma Dajiao.

The children of the palace and nobles, especially in the early Ming Dynasty, imitated the Empress Ma almost everywhere.

Zhang Anshi remembers that in ancient times, a man saw a woman with a three-inch golden lotus and was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to commit suicide.

As for Xu Jingyi, obviously she didn't have such a taboo.

"Let me tell a story." Zhang Anshi said seriously.

Xu Jingyi listened attentively to the situation. She admired Zhang Anshi, not only because Zhang Anshi behaved well, but most importantly, she found that Zhang Anshi also had a wide range of knowledge, which was different from other brothers and relatives who only knew how to fight and kill. It's different from those nerds who only know how to read books.

Zhang Anshi thought for a moment, and thought about what stories a girl of Xu Jingyi's age might like, then he gathered himself together, and said: "It is said that when Nuwa mended the sky, she only used 500 yuan of spiritual stones, and only one piece was left. It was useless, so I threw this stone at the foot of Qinggeng Peak, who would have known that after tempering the stone, its spirituality would be clear..."

Xu Jingyi listened very carefully, and the more she listened, the more interesting she became.

Zhang Anshi also talks about virtues vividly. In fact, this is a story in the Dream of the Red Chamber. Of course, Zhang Anshi can’t recite the Dream of the Red Chamber back and forth, but it can be used as a classic that is familiar to future generations. He does know the general content of the story, and some of the classic passages are more deeply remembered.

Seeing Zhang Anshi's eloquence, Xu Jingyi became more and more surprised the more she listened.

But at this moment, a little head outside was poking around, as if asking for something, and the owner of this little head seemed to be listening with gusto.

Even in the back, the little guy tiptoedly moved a Jindun, and when Zhang Anshi was talking, he obediently moved behind Zhang Anshi, sat on it, and listened with his chin resting.

Zhang Anshi talked for two sticks of incense, his mouth was thirsty, and 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 Yiwang Zhu. Seeing Zhang Anshi questioning him, Zhu immediately stood up and said with his hands on his hips, "Speaking out will scare you to death, Emperor Taizu Gao..."

Zhang Anshi was really frightened when he heard that Emperor Taizu Gao.

Zhu continued, "It's my father."

Zhang Anshi probably remembered that this person seemed to be Yiwang Zhu who was raised in the palace.

He immediately relaxed, thinking that Emperor Taizu Gao's coffin was not pressed down.

But Zhang Anshi said: "Go, pour me a cup of tea."

After Zhu heard this, he was furious: "I am the son of Emperor Taizu Gao, and Your Majesty is my emperor's elder brother. I have been canonized as King Yi since I was a baby. You still dare to order me? You are so bold!"

As he said that, 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, "How do you pour the tea? It's too hot, burning your mouth."

Zhu then said angrily, "Don't be ignorant of flattery."

After finishing speaking, he went to the waiter again in a hurry, took a new cup of 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 King Yi, and said, "Why are you here, Your Highness?"

"I'll keep an eye on him." Zhu said, "No other men are allowed in the palace except for the emperor and this king. Now that a man comes in rashly, shouldn't this king not watch?"

Xu Jingyi: "..."

Zhang Anshi said: "I don't want to stay either, I wish I could leave quickly!"

Yiwang Zhu became angry again: "What are you talking about? It is your honor to enter the palace, but you are still unwilling! Well, before this king is angry, let's continue telling the story. How is it?"

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: "You are rude in front of the king, I will not forgive you, at worst, I will press you and loosen your bones. This king usually has a sore back and back pain, and those slaves press this king like this. of."

After finishing speaking, 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 will tell."

Xu Jingyi was only immersed in the story, as if she was thinking about the things in the Grand View Garden.

In fact, this kind of story is exactly what Xu Jingyi and Zhu like. After all, they grew up in the palace and the mansion, and they are very familiar with the world in the Red Mansion, but the fate of the various characters in it affects them the most. Heart.

.........

For several days, Empress Xu did not see Zhu, so she called the eunuch and asked, "King Yi comes here on weekdays, why is there no one in these few days?"

The eunuch said: "His Royal Highness King Yi has been at Cheng Enbo's place for the past few days, forgetting to eat and sleep."

Empress Xu couldn't help but smiled: "Your Majesty is right, he is the Zhu family's weasel, digging holes everywhere."

The eunuch smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Yi Wang is very happy, he said he is Jia Baoyu."

"Jia Baoyu?" Empress Xu frowned, "Who is Jia Baoyu?"

"Your servant doesn't know either, I just know... Your Highness said that he will find a younger sister Lin in the future."

Empress Xu couldn't help scolding: "Sister... look, he is even more shameless than Your Majesty."

The eunuch dared not respond to these words.

But in the evening, Zhu Xing rushed over and said as he walked, "Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng... no, sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."

Zhu came in bouncing.

Drenched in sweat.

Empress Xu was a little annoyed and a little distressed when she saw him being so reckless.

Empress Xu has three sons, one is a vassal, and although both are in the capital, they are all outside the palace.

Now this Zhu is almost raised by Zhu Di and Empress Xu as their own sons in the palace.

So Empress Xu stood up, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and said, "Wang Xifeng, what did you spy on?"

Zhu's eyes were shining brightly, and he said happily: "I thought of a story, and I want to tell the emperor's sister-in-law."

"story?"

Empress Xu sat down gracefully, picked up the embroidery on the table, said one by one: "When will my family Yi Wang know how to tell stories, you can tell."

Zhu sat down and began to speak like a parrot.

Empress Xu didn't care at first.

But the more I listened to it, the more I felt that the story...was quite interesting, and the more I listened to it, the more I felt that the story was actually very mysterious.

…………

At this time, in Wenlou.

Zhu Di was looking out the window with his hands behind his back.

Yi Shiha tiptoed in and said, "Your Majesty, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, Ji Gang, has arrived."

"Um……"

Ji Gang entered the hall silently, saluted and said: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Di didn't turn his head to look at him, but 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 ascended 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 raised troops into Nanjing City, the past is vivid in my memory."

Ji Gang raised his head subconsciously, then hurriedly bowed his head again.

As His Majesty's confidant, trying to figure out 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 didn't expect that Zhang Anshi was Guo Degan. If he had known that this person was the prince's wife and brother, he would have inquired about it in advance so that the King of Han would not fall into this trap.

Originally, Ji Gang only thought that he was just a brilliant doctor, but no matter how clever a doctor is, he can't control the current situation. In order to avoid His Majesty's suspicion of him, he didn't act rashly, but now, he fell into a passive position instead.

Zhu Di suddenly said: "Xu Huizu's stubborn donkey, how is it now, is the diet okay?"

"Fortunately, I can still eat three meals, but..."

"But what?" Zhu Di turned his head abruptly, staring at Ji Gang intently.

Ji Gang said: "Duke Wei caught a little wind and cold two days ago, and coughed for two days."

Zhu Di frowned: "Why didn't you come to report earlier."

"The doctor said it was just a little cold, it doesn't matter..."

Zhu Di hummed, and said again: "Did he mention me?"

"I didn't say anything, just read the book every day."

"Look at what?"

"The "Spring and Autumn" are mostly."

"Damn it, there aren't many good things to watch "Spring and Autumn"."

Ji Gang: "..."

Zhu Di turned around suddenly, paced a few steps, and thoughtfully said: "That person...does he have any clues?"

Ji Gang trembled in his heart, he knew very well who the person His Majesty mentioned was.

This is a very sensitive matter.

Ji Gang bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty... the minister is already inquiring."

"No news at all?"

"There is news."

Zhu Di said, "Oh?"

"Someone found out that at that time... after he escaped from the palace, he ran all the way to the seaside, passed a sea ship, and fled overseas."

"Overseas?" Zhu Di frowned deeper, obviously he didn't want this result.

"Can you be sure?"

Ji Gang hesitated for a moment: "I dare not guarantee it."

But after a pause, Ji Gang said again: "However, the minister and the people who searched for this person are all top-notch experts in Weizhong. They are stalking the wind and spying on the news. It can be said that this news...is probably true. .”

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Di paced back and forth with a sullen face, lost in thought.

"If I escape to the sea, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it in my whole life, right?"

Ji Gang thought for a while and said, "Actually... there is another possibility, and that is that he is dead."

Zhu Di only pursed his lips and looked at him.

Ji Gang said cautiously: "Based on my estimate, if he is still alive, he will go to sea. If he doesn't go to sea, then he is very likely to die in a certain corner."

Zhu Di paused for a moment before saying, "In life, you must see people, and in death, you must see corpses."

After hearing this, Ji Gang cheered up: "Here."

Zhu Di sat down and suddenly asked Ji Gang: "How is the King of Han doing?"

Ji Gang's heart skipped a beat.

Because His Majesty did not authorize Jin Yiwei to spy on King Han.

There are some people... Jin Yiwei is not qualified to inquire at all, such as the prince, such as the King of Han.

This is also the reason why Zhang Anshi's lights are dark.

Because Jin Yiwei rashly inquired about the crown prince or the King of Han, or even their relatives, would be considered to be involved in the battle for the reserve position, which was extremely dangerous for Ji Gang.

He knew very well that these things would never be tolerated.

Once His Majesty finds out about it, it's courting death.

But now, His Majesty suddenly asked the King of Han...

This made Ji Gang have to think, could it be... that he hoped that Jin Yiwei would 'pay more attention' to the King of Han in the future?
If this is the case, can it be considered that His Majesty has become so disappointed in the King of Han that he is wary?

Ji Gang lowered his head, knowing that any answer he gave might cause His Majesty to have different guesses: "I don't know."

Zhu Di raised his hand to pick up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and said lightly, "Jin Yiwei is chasing rumors and spying on domestic affairs, how can he ask three questions? Next time, it can't be like this again."

Ji Gang was puzzled, but his expression 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 fell into silence thoughtfully.

Yishiha then tiptoed to one side and didn't let out a breath.

"Going overseas...overseas...overseas..."

Zhu Di even said a few overseas, with a look of regret.

Immediately, he sighed and was speechless.

…………

Zhu Yong and the others went fast and came back even faster.

Almost all of them were fast horses all the way, and the horses did not change people.

Fortunately, the monk was very cooperative, and he 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 of them became dumbfounded.

After passing the Jinchuan gate, Zhu Yong pulled Zhang Fu aside and said, "Second brother, the kit only mentioned returning to Beijing, not what to do next."

Zhang Fu was also in a dilemma, and couldn't help saying: "Oh, brother, I miscalculated."

"Bullshit." Zhu Yong said: "Why did Big Brother miscalculate, it must be that Big Brother thinks that we will be able to take care of this matter, or he is testing our brothers, so he left a suspense on purpose!"

"This is terrible. The eldest brother explained it in the kit before, saying that this matter must not be known to other people, but we can't rush into the palace at this time, why would the palace let us go? Go in sharply."

Zhang Fu rested his chin, and his brain was running at high speed. 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 treacherous and cunning. I think He has a way."

When Zhu Yong heard this, he immediately became angry, and scolded: "Your father is so cunning, my father is as stupid as a donkey, why is he so cunning."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fu said, "My elder brother said so, and Qiu Song's father also said so. Fourth brother, you can judge."

Qiu Song hugged his baggage tightly and stood there dumbfounded, without saying a word.

Zhu Yong had no choice but to say: "Don't quarrel for now, just ask the elder brother for a review. Anyway, it's important to do the serious business first. I'm thinking about it, I'd better go to my father first."

It was agreed, and the group escorted the monk to Chengguo's mansion.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng is very happy these days. Although his son has run away, he is not worried at all.

In his opinion, at my age, I had already gone to fight Tartars in the desert, and this son of a bitch would do whatever he liked out there, so as not to be idle at home and look angry.

But the income brought by his brother's shipping industry made him happy, and he kept it in his study every day. This general in the army now deals with piles of accounts all day long, which is painful and happy.

When the door came in a hurry, he said: "Master, master, the young master is back."

"Don't quarrel, come back when you come back, I will settle the account." Zhu Neng said impatiently, without raising his head, he continued to stare at the account newly sent by his brother Shipping Industry.

But the doorman said again: "The young master brought a few more people, and the young masters of Duke Qi and Duke Rong are also here."

Zhu Neng finally looked away from the account book with reluctance, and cursed: "I'm so unlucky, I gave birth to a dog son, and he made some cronies and friends, and it's all going to be ruined by them. What a crime I did."

While scolding, he went to the middle hall.

But when he saw Qiu Song and Zhang Fu, he laughed again and said, "Haha, the nephews are here, oh, I've grown taller, good, good, Qiu Song, you haven't come home for so long, your father's eyes They are all popular. And Zhang Fu, why are you so worried, your brother is spying on you everywhere."

The three greeted each other.

Zhu Neng raised his head and saw that there was another 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? My family has just had good luck and is going to make a fortune..."

"Father." Zhu Yong said with a sneer, "We came to look for you, to ask you and see if you have any suggestions. This monk has an unusual status."

Zhu Neng said: "Speak if you have something to say, fart if you have something to say, don't be wordy."

Zhu Yong lowered his voice and said, "He is Emperor Jianwen..."

When Zhu Neng heard this, his eyes became straight, and then he picked up Zhu Yong, slapped his ass with his backhand, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you bastard, you dare to say anything. Huan Jianwen, this Jianwen I have been hiding for two years, and no one can be found, just a few of you..."

Zhu Yong was beaten so loudly that he felt that he had lost face, so he said angrily: "It doesn't hurt, Dad, aren't you full? Use more force if you have the ability."

Zhang Fu looked at it and trembled.

Qiu Song sniffed, and subconsciously began to search for the baggage he was carrying.

Zhu Yong suddenly remembered something, and then shook out a cassock from his arms: "Look at this, look at this."

Zhu Neng then lowered his head, and seemed to have noticed the strangeness of the cassock, so he hurriedly put down Zhu Yong and picked up the cassock.

It's okay if you don't look at it, at first glance, Zhu Neng became dizzy.

"It's really... it's really him..."

Zhu Neng started to panic, and said, "Oh my god, why do you take it home? Can this kind of person be taken home easily?"

Zhu Yong said: "We don't know what to do, brother didn't say anything."

"Brother?" Zhu Neng was taken aback: "You mean Zhang Anshi?"

"That's right. Brother told us to look for it."

Zhu Neng finally calmed down from the panic. He took a deep breath and said, "This is too big, too big. Let me tell you the truth... this is not a joke. , now...you follow me quickly and escort him to the palace without delay, and...you didn't mention it to anyone on the way, right? "

"Brother has already ordered, father, don't worry."

Zhu Neng took another deep breath, and couldn't help but said in his heart that his dear nephew Zhang Xian is capable and intelligent.

damn...

He glanced up at the monk, and then took another deep breath, which was a fucking feat.

Without any hesitation, Zhu Neng quickly led several people and escorted the monk into the palace.

At this time, the sky was already dim, and a piece of colorful clouds fell all over the earth.

It's really late, but fortunately, the Meridian Gate has not yet closed.

When Zhu Neng arrived at the Meridian Gate, the eunuchs and guards guarding the gate said, "I have seen Duke Cheng, it's getting late..."

"Report 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 not the time to enter the palace.

Therefore, the eunuch smiled and said: "I don't know what the father-in-law is doing. When the slaves go to report, there must be a reason."

But Zhu Neng stared and sneered: "I dare to say these big things. The question is, do you have an order to listen? Hurry up and tell your majesty that you must see me today no matter what, even if you want to kill me." , I have to see it before killing."

Speaking of this, the eunuch didn't dare to ask any more questions.

After running to Wenlou and Wulou in a hurry, I realized that His Majesty had already sent to Da Nei.

So he hurried to Ouchi again.

At this time, Zhu Di and Empress Xu were already in the bedroom.

Empress Xu was telling Zhu Di about Yi Wang Zhu with a smile: "Don't look at him as young, but he tells stories vividly, just like a storyteller."

Zhu Di quickly said: "He is sneaky every day. In my opinion, he can be a secret agent in brocade clothes. It's too humiliating for him to be a prince."

Empress Xu pursed her lips and smiled, but she still seemed worried.

Zhu Di suddenly said: "Ji Gang of Jinyiwei said... that person may have gone overseas."

When Empress Xu heard this, she frowned subconsciously.

If he went overseas, he might never be able to find him again. His elder brother always believed that His Majesty killed the king...

However, she remained calm and said: "Ji Gang has always been prudent in handling affairs. Since he said so, it seems that... it is true. It is better to escape overseas. His Majesty will spare his life."

But Zhu Di seemed disappointed, and then smiled wryly: "It's not a question of whether you will live or not, it's just that there are some things... If you don't say it clearly, it's really stuck in your throat."

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came and said outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Di said displeasedly, "Come in."

The eunuch came in in small steps, panting and said: "Mr. Cheng is asking 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 Da Nei and told him, I don't see you. If you have anything to say, I will talk about it tomorrow."

The eunuch could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty... Cheng Guogong said that if you don't see him today, you will see him again. Even if you want to lose your head, you have to wait until you see him."

Zhu Di was silent when he heard it, because he knew very well that Cheng Guogong was reckless on the surface, but in fact he was as careful as a hair.

Such a person, unless there is a last resort, or if there is a big thing, is definitely not so rough.

So Zhu Di said: "Show him in, hurry up."

Empress Xu couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, see you here?"

Zhu Di glanced at Empress Xu.

Empress Xu smiled and said: "The rules in the palace are strict. When we were in the Beiping Palace. Didn't he and your majesty drink more in front of the courtiers and concubines? It's urgent, call him here Well, besides, the concubine also wants to know what happened."

Empress Xu is not a simple woman, but she really trained female soldiers herself and went to the battlefield.

Zhu Di nodded: "Let him come quickly."

After a stick of incense.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng entered the palace, and after entering the sleeping hall, Zhu Yong bowed down without squinting: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Di looked at him: "You are so courageous."

"Your Majesty, I have no choice but to come, and please forgive me." Zhu Neng said to Empress Xu: "I have met your majesty, how is your majesty?"

Empress Xu smiled kindly: "Call me sister-in-law, that's how I used to be called."

Originally, at this time, Zhu Neng would definitely talk nonsense with all his energy.

However, today he has a solemn expression and said: "Your Majesty, empress... I came to the palace for one thing only."

Zhu Di said: "If you fart, let it go."

Zhu Neng popped out two words: "Jianwen..."

"what?"

"Your Majesty, Jianwen... found his whereabouts."

Zhu Di was shocked.

Empress Xu was also moved.

Zhu Di was in a hurry, suppressing his hoarse voice, while looking to the left and right with murderous eyes.

The eunuchs on the left and right receded like the tide.

Zhu Di said: "Didn't he go out to sea? Why did he find it again? Where is the person... Where is the person?"

"It's just outside the palace!"

Zhu Di was shocked in his heart, and was so excited that he couldn't help himself for a while.

　Begging for a monthly pass, begging for a monthly pass, how miserable, being pushed and rubbed on the ground, students, please support me.
