Factory owner is king

Chapter 3 Fate is Impermanent
The imperial city was quiet under the night, only a few palaces were still flickering with lights.

No, it is not only the palace that has lights.To be exact, it was in several palaces and a small remote courtyard.

In Xu Ruyi's small courtyard, Xu Ruyi and Zhu Yunwen were sitting on the floor, each holding a fish and feasting on it.There was still a small puddle of fish bones on the ground, and the two teenagers were sweating profusely from eating, neither of them would stop talking.

After a long time, when all the fish were eaten, the two teenagers burped contentedly.

Xu Ruyi was extremely hungry, and it was rare to have a decent meal, so of course she was satisfied.Zhu Yunwen usually eats and drinks constantly.But first, he kept his filial piety for his father, and kept his diet simple; second, he would not prepare this kind of scorching and inferior food for him in the imperial dining room; He must also have manners, and now this way of eating makes him feel at ease, so he is also very satisfied and happy.

"Hey~, Lao Tie, what's your name?" Xu Ruyi opened her mouth and asked, squinting her eyes, looking very familiar.

"Old, old iron?" Zhu Yunwen was stunned, but he also understood that he should be calling himself "Um, I, my name is Little Mosquito."

Zhu Yunqi casually made up a name, "What about you?"

"Pfft, this name is too confusing, why don't you call me Little Fly?" Zhu Yunwen's name was met with ruthless complaints from Xu Ruyi, "My name is Xu Ruyi, it's..." Xu Ruyi rolled her eyes. , "Tell me first what you do? What is your position?"

"I am... I am the eunuch accompanying the emperor's grandson," Zhu Yunqi secretly praised his mechanism.This position is very suitable.

'I'll go, I'm with the emperor's grandson. No wonder he speaks so confidently and has such a good temperament. Xu Ruyi secretly smacked her tongue.

If you know the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, the people around the emperor's grandson don't know how many ranks they are.

After some analysis, Xu Ruyi made a final decision: must curry favor! ! !

Xu Ruyi lowered her head naturally, adjusted her expression, and then raised her head again. Her eyes had turned into crescent moons when she smiled.

"What. What's going on?" Zhu Yunwen was shocked, "Before, he looked like he was accepting his younger brother, but in an instant he looked like he was the boss. Is it so natural?" . . . '

"Boss" Xu Ruyi spoke with a natural tone, as if they had known each other for a long time, "In such a big palace, we can both meet and eat grilled fish together. What is fate? This is fate." .”

"Uh, that's true." Zhu Yunqi nodded, "Speaking of who you are, I've already told you. Let me tell you about you."

"Xu Ruyi, I have been in the palace for a month, and now I am cleaning the imperial garden, and I belong to the Jinggong Supervisor. I was given the nickname Honest and Reliable Little Langjun, and I have met my eldest brother."

"Supervisor of the Divine Palace," Zhu Yunwen muttered.

Jingongjian is one of the 24 prisons in the palace, and is mainly responsible for cleaning the palace.Not a high status.Of course, the other 23 prisons are similar and have no power.But the difference is that some yamen are rich and lucrative, such as the Shangshan Supervisor, such as the Baochao Division, and so on.The only power of the shrine supervisor is to clean the Taimiao and other temples.

"That's not right," Zhu Yunxuan said, "Shouldn't the palace supervisor be responsible for cleaning the imperial garden? It's not the work of the palace supervisor."

This is true, but they are also responsible for cleaning, and the two prisons often communicate with each other.Sometimes the Zhidian supervisor is short of manpower, so he borrows from the Jingu supervisor.So the division of personnel is not very clear.The reason why the old eunuch Liu put Xu Ruyi in the Jingongjian was mainly because the salary of the Jingongjian was a little higher.

"Um, I'm seconded, seconded, hehe." Xu Ruyi scratched her head and made up a reason.He didn't know, and the reasoning made perfect sense.

Zhu Yunwen didn't delve into it.

"By the way," Xu Ruyi quickly changed the subject, "Brother Wen, why are you wandering around so late at night? This is against the rules."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Ruyi saw the strong contempt in Zhu Yunwen's eyes. The meaning was very simple: You, who secretly eat the royal garden koi, have the nerve to talk about me, a wanderer? !
'It's not a good start. '

"I mean," Xu Ruyi continued, "I see Boss Wen wandering around late at night, looking sad, but what's bothering you?"

"Oh..." After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen let out a long sigh, "I,,,"

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "My master, does the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen know?"

Xu Ruyi nodded, "That must be known."

"He became the grandson of the emperor a while ago, and his status is high, but I think his uncles don't seem to like him, and their attitude towards him... Anyway, it makes him uncomfortable and unhappy...Look Master is not feeling well, and I feel sorry for him." Zhu Yunwen said.

"Heh?" Xu Ruyi patted Zhu Yunqi on the shoulder, "You are so loyal. The emperor's grandson must like you very much, right?"

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay," Zhu Yunqi scratched his face and agreed.

'This leg must be hugged. 'Xu Ruyi thought, and said, "Brother, wait a moment, I'll make a pot of water for you to drink."

As she said that, Xu Ruyi took a copper pot from the house, poured some water into it, and put it on the small stove, where the fire was still on.

Xu Ruyi sat next to Zhu Yunqi again, organized his words, and said, "Actually, this matter is difficult but easy to handle."

"Oh?" Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up, "How do you say that?"

"Actually, I know a thing or two about this." Xu Ruyi said, "The crown prince died, and the emperor forced his highness to be the grandson of the emperor, skipping over his uncles, and his uncles naturally refused to accept it. It's understandable. But there is one thing that many people know, but the emperor doesn't know. Or the emperor doesn't want to know."

"What is it?"

"The emperor entrusted the vassal kings to guard Daming and resist foreign peoples. But he didn't know if these vassal kings rebelled, who would help the emperor's grandson to resist these vassal kings? Or in the emperor's heart, he didn't want to think so."

"This... this..." Zhu Yunqi was a little confused.

"The worry of the emperor's grandson is actually the worry about the administration of the vassal king or the fear of the vassal king. In fact, I have two ways to solve this matter." Xu Ruyi stroked her hair and said.

"What way?" Zhu Yunqi hurriedly asked.

"The first way is to find a way to let the emperor see the true colors of the vassals. As long as he is really angry, or really believes that his sons will be unstable factors, then everything will be easy But the difficulty of this method is how to make the emperor recognize these things. You must know that the father's feelings for his son are not fake." Xu Ruyi said the first note.

"That's it..." Zhu Yunqi nodded, "What about the second method?"

To be honest, Zhu Yunqi's temperament is like his father Zhu Biao, and he is also a little afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart.He was a little scared to let him tell his uncles in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.It's not impossible, it just takes a long time to prepare, and he subconsciously doesn't want to choose this method.

"The second way..." Xu Ruyi thought for a while and said, "Now that the emperor's grandson has just been established, General Lan Yu should be granted the title of crown prince and tutor, right?"

This information was memorized when he was watching "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in his previous life.Xu Ruyi has read this set of books, and it would be foolish to say that they are word for word.But he still had some impressions of many general things.Although he was a gangster in his previous life, he was also a gangster who graduated from college. He still had some ink in his stomach and had read a few books.

"It is true that General Lan has just appointed the crown prince and tutor, just last month. What's the matter?" Zhu Yunqi asked.

"In my opinion, the emperor's purge of civil servants has reached its peak, and the next step is to purge military generals. I heard that the emperor doesn't like General Sapphire, and thinks he is too spoiled. If the emperor decides to start with General Lan , Massacring meritorious generals wantonly, then the emperor grandson will have no generals to use in the future, and it will be over. But if the emperor grandson can keep a few people in this turmoil, let alone General Lan, even the other generals will leave a trace Tinder, they must be grateful to the grandson of the emperor. In the future, even if the vassal king rebels, the grandson of the emperor does not have to be afraid." Xu Ruyi said, went back to the house and brought back two large bowls, the water in the pot was boiled, and Xu Ruyi held it The pot poured water for himself and Zhu Yunwen.I took a sip first, I couldn't help it, I was really thirsty.

Moistening her throat, Xu Ruyi continued, "Actually, the most terrifying thing in the world is something you can't deal with. Why are people afraid of ghosts? Because you can't do anything when ghosts come. Why is the prince afraid of the feudal king? Because the feudal king rebels He felt that there was nothing he could do. That's it..." Xu Ruyi thought of the Tianmen behind her, Eunuch Liu, and the dark shadows beside the dry well. . .

After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen felt a little better, but the first way was to tell his grandfather about his uncle. It was not that he didn't dare.The second grandpa wanted to kill someone but he didn't dare to stop him. . .

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Yunqi said, "You don't know, the emperor is so fierce, I'm afraid the prince won't dare to tell the emperor these things..."

Xu Ruyi nodded, with a clear look, "I know, but there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. I don't dare to do this, I don't dare to do that, and I dare not ask my own grandfather, then there is no solution to this matter." That's it. All we slaves can do is give advice and cheer up, there is nothing we can do if there is more."

"Is that so..." Zhu Yunqi slowly fell into thought, his face blushing uncertainly.

Xu Ruyi saw it and said, "The tiger is the king of beasts. Who dares to offend him? Only the love between father and son can be reviewed step by step. In fact, after the prince has gone, the emperor can appoint the emperor's eldest grandson without hesitation. This love must be It’s true. What else does the emperor’s grandson have to be afraid of? If you go back and give him some advice, you’ll definitely be able to do it.”

Xu Ruyi racked her brains for her new boss.Not for anything else, just want to use him to rely on the emperor's eldest grandson.Although he didn't know it, he was already close.

After hearing these words, Zhu Yunxuan's eyes slowly lit up. After a long time, he nodded vigorously, as if he had made some important decision, and without saying hello, he got up aggressively and left. . . .

Xu Ruyi licked her teeth, saying goodbye and leaving.Ancient people are too impolite'

Shaking her head, Xu Ruyi simply cleaned up the mess in the yard.There was a faint light in the eastern sky, he went back to the room and lay down on the table, taking a nap.Then he picked up the broom and walked towards the imperial garden.

***********************************
The blue sky is filled with white clouds, and below the white clouds I am sweeping the street." A nondescript tune came softly from Xu Ruyi's mouth.

In the imperial garden, Xu Ruyi took the broom and shook it gently and slowly.

There are no rules for sweeping the streets.But when sweeping the floor in the imperial garden, the rules are very strict.No loud noises, no big movements, especially no dust.These rules must be kept in mind. If you violate them, nothing will happen at all, and of course it will be fine if no one pays attention.At worst, your head will fall off. If Zhu Yuanzhang sees you unhappy and kills you, does he need to tell you why?

It has been a long time since I met Xiaowenzi Zhu Yunqi.After eating fish that day, Xu Ruyi has never seen his big brother Xiao Wenzi again.He had no idea.The daily life is very monotonous. When I wake up and wash my face, I come to the Imperial Garden with a broom. When it’s time for dinner, I go to the Shangshan Supervisor to grab a steamed bun or something dry food and find a corner to eat a few bites.Then keep scanning.At night, I went back to my room to sleep and practice.When I get hungry, I sneak into the imperial garden in the middle of the night to touch a rabbit, catch a fish or something.The days are pleasant.

At first, he was anxious to catch up with the eldest grandson of the emperor, but now he is not in a hurry.

First, I have something to do: practice.He has been practicing Kung Fu well recently, and his body-protecting Qi has become more solid. He has also mastered the first level of skin training in "White Bone Zen".It feels like. . .It seems that I have turned white. . .

Second, and most important: fear of death.As a gangster, fighting and fighting, with a knife in his waist, life and death are not that important, but he doesn't want to die without knowing it.It's like two gangs fighting.If you dare to charge up, you probably know the consequences in your heart. The chance of being beaten to death is not high, and even if you die, you will recognize your head.

But just now, he experienced something inexplicable about death.

About an hour ago, Xu Ruyi met Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time since he traveled through time, in this imperial garden.

With a shrill and loud "The Emperor is here", all the eunuchs and maids in the entire imperial garden put down their work in unison, knelt down on the ground, and said long live the emperor.After that, an old man in a yellow robe appeared at the arch of the imperial garden, followed by the eunuch Gong'e.The old man wears a golden crown on his head, a yellow robe and a jade belt around his waist. On the yellow robe is a golden dragon with teeth and claws.The old man's face was as heavy as water, and his majesty was indescribable. Needless to say, this person was the Taizu of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang.Xu Ruyi knelt in the crowd without daring to breathe, but he raised his head slightly and noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang's belt was tied under his stomach.

Xu Ruyi heard rumors in her previous life that Zhu Yuanzhang's belt was very particular.If the belt is tied above the belly, it means he is in a good mood; if it is tied below the belt, it means he is in a bad mood.If Zhu Yuanzhang is in a bad mood, he will kill someone.

"I don't know if it's true," Xu Ruyi thought to herself.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at the kneeling slaves, waved his hands, and the old eunuch beside him said loudly, "Everyone, get up."

Only those who had fallen to their knees stood up tremblingly and continued their work.Zhu Yuanzhang slowly walked to a pavilion in the garden and sat down, looking at the lake quietly. No one around him dared to make a sound.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Old Zhang."

"My slave is here," the old eunuch beside him responded quickly.

"Why do you think Yun Wen has something to worry about these two days? He is frowning, and he is a little thinner." Zhu Yuanzhang murmured.

"This, I don't know," the old eunuch replied cautiously.

"It should be because the food is not going well." Zhu Yuanzhang analyzed to himself. "If you don't eat well, you will naturally become thinner. If you eat more, you will naturally become stronger. Go ahead and order someone to kill the chef in charge of the imperial dining room and replace him with another one." .” After speaking, he looked at the lake quietly again.

"Old servant complies with the order, let's do it now." The old eunuch responded, turned around and gave a few words to a young eunuch, and then stood silently behind Zhu Yuanzhang.

Everything is as if nothing happened.

'Is this killing? ! 'Xu Ruyi was really stunned.What is misfortune from the sky?This is called misfortune.Others don't know, but Xu Ruyi knows.Zhu Yunwen's troubles have nothing to do with eating.

Thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with quietly being a passerby. At least you can still live.A cook who cooked for the emperor's eldest grandson died in such a mysterious way. If he was around Zhu Yunwen, God knows what reason he would die for. . . .

Zhu Yuanzhang left after only sitting for half an hour. Xu Ruyi's face was dripping with sweat.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's leaving figure, he finally let out a long breath, feeling like he was alive after a catastrophe. 'Let's be an invisible man'.

pity. . . . .

Just relaxed for a while.Another living ancestor is at it again.The emperor’s grandson Zhu Yunwen!
Now Xu Ruyi was really shocked.Shit Xiaowenzi, with his eyesight, he can tell at a glance that this Zhu Yunqi is the boss he recognized a few days ago.

Zhu Yunwen was not very arrogant and wore a simple bright yellow brocade robe.With a solemn expression, he came in and grabbed a young eunuch and asked, "Where is my grandpa? Is he here?"

The little eunuch hurriedly replied, "Go back to His Royal Highness, the emperor just left."

"Oh, okay." Zhu Yunwen nodded and waved his hand.His expression was a little relaxed again, as if he wanted to see Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was a little scared and nervous.Knowing that Grandpa Huang has left the Royal Garden at this moment, he relaxes.

Looking around casually, Zhu Yunqi started wandering in the imperial garden.

With her head buried low, Xu Ruyi quietly hid beside a rockery with a broom.For fear that Zhu Yunqi would see him.

Somehow, Zhu Yunwen wandered around the rockery next to Xu Ruyi.

"You..." Zhu Yunwen frowned, seeming to notice Xu Ruyi.

Just about to speak.

Suddenly a rough and bold voice came, "Yunwen?"

Zhu Yunwen turned his head, and there was a tall and mighty man standing behind him, also in brocade robes, with a beard on his face and rough skin.At a glance, anyone would feel that this is at least a general who has been on the battlefield.

"Fourth Uncle" Zhu Yunwen cupped his hands and saluted.

'Fourth uncle? ! Xu Ruyi suddenly thought: "Yan Wang Zhu Di, the future Ming Dynasty ancestor!" 'The body slowly shrank into the shadow of the rockery. The scene was too complicated, and he didn't dare to get involved.Fortunately, Zhu Di didn't seem to notice him.

Looking at Zhu Yunwen who was bowing and saluting, Zhu Di nodded and stretched out his hand to help.But for some reason, the outstretched hand didn't rest on Zhu Yunqi's elbow, but patted Zhu Yunqi's back, and said in a strange way, "unexpectedly, today (you can have today, too)"

"You!" Zhu Yunwen's face suddenly turned red, his body swayed, and he was trembling with anger.

"Boom!" All of a sudden, something flew in and hit Zhu Di on the head. It was so powerful that it shook him. "Who?!" His face was flushed, the veins on his forehead were bulging, he was panting with his mouth open, and he was reaching out to take off the other shoe to continue beating him, obviously out of breath.He opened his mouth and yelled angrily, "Cat and monkey (Fengyang dialect), how dare you fucking dare! Me, me!!! Mommy's!" He said that he had already held the shoe in his hand, and was about to hit it with his hand.

"Father, Father" Zhu Di quickly raised his hand to cover it, "My son is just joking with Yun Wen."

"A joke?! It's a joke!" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded while keeping his hands on it. "You can joke about the prince of a country?!" He threw the shoes away, scattered them around, and bent down to pick them up. A stone will be thrown.

When Zhu Di saw that the situation was not right, he wanted to beat me to death.He gritted his teeth, kowtowed, then got up and ran away.It disappeared in a flash.

"Huchi... Huchi..." Zhu Yuanzhang was out of breath, and the surrounding eunuchs and maids knelt down on the ground, not daring to breathe.Zhu Yunqi had been stunned since Zhu Yuanzhang appeared, only then did he come back to his senses, and said in a low voice, "Emperor, grandpa, don't be angry... Yun Wen,, Yun Wen,,, Fourth Uncle... " Zhu Yunqi didn't know what to say.

"Hoo,,,," Zhu Yuanzhang took a long breath, barely calmed down, and said, "Come with me." After speaking, he turned his head and left.Zhu Yunwen hurriedly followed. . .

'Okay, okay, just go like this, don't look back, don't look back.' Xu ​​Ruyi knelt on the ground and prayed silently.

So some things really can't be talked about.

Seeing that both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunqi had walked more than 20 steps, Zhu Yunqi suddenly turned his head and pointed at Xu Ruyi, "Ruyi, come with me."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked back at Xu Ruyi who was on the ground, but said nothing.The grandson still has to give this little face, after all, he has just been wronged.

'I#￥E≈^*(&aT$%(*&;^%%#' This is what Xu Ruyi wanted.

"Yes" was what Xu Ruyi said.

Standing up, she followed Zhu Yunqi's pace closely with small broken steps, which was done by Xu Ruyi.

This is called lying down! ! !

No, it should be called Teammate Pig!
