The assassination in the deduction was not aimed at Zhu Yuanzhang, but at himself.

Therefore, it is definitely not Zhang Erniu and the man in black.

They are all Zhang Shicheng's remnants, in order to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang and restore the country, even if they want to kill themselves, it is at best a convenient matter.

in this case.

The assassination you will encounter in your deduction has not started yet?

This made Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but pay more attention.

Fortunately, he is alert enough.

If you are a confused person, you may think that the assassination is over, so you can relax.

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying's face was cloudy and uncertain, Song Ke asked with concern:

"Is your Highness uncomfortable?"

"Should I arrange for someone to take you to rest?"

Hearing what Song Ke said, Zhu Xiongying quickly raised his head and smiled:

"Ah, it's all right, don't worry, sir."

"I'm in good health and don't need to rest."

"It's just that you have been frightened, sir, so you should rest for a while."

He was talking to Song Ke.

A young man wearing a hunting suit and holding a long sword walked into the yard.

After seeing Zhu Xiongying, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said:

"Your Highness, His Majesty was assassinated in the Yamen, worried about your safety, and asked me to protect you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiongying frowned, and hurriedly asked:

"How is my grandpa?"

The young man raised his head and replied:

"Your Highness, don't worry, there is a sword master, and His Majesty is not hurt."

Zhu Xiongying saw the face of the visitor clearly, it was actually Li Munian.

After getting Zhu Yuanzhang's answer that nothing happened, he also heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:

"I knew that it would be absolutely foolproof for Mr. Zhong to protect Grandpa."

Chapter 114 Secret talk in the side hall and a marriage contract

Night falls.

In Pingjiang City, there was silence.

What happened today made everyone in the city feel insecure, no one dared to walk on the street anymore.

Except for the sound of officers and soldiers packing up and arresting the rebels in the city, there was no other sound that came to my ears.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished his interrogation, he returned to the Song Mansion.

A large number of officers and soldiers guarded around the Song Mansion.

I'm afraid there are other assassins trying to assassinate the emperor.

It can be said that the current Song Mansion has the highest security level in the entire Suzhou Mansion.

The Song family naturally hosted a banquet, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have much appetite, so he ate a few mouthfuls casually, then took Song Ke to a side hall to rest with a jug of wine in his arms.

Song Ke was naturally flattered and looked terrified.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said:

"Hey, I said Mr. Zhong Wen, you don't have to be so cautious, you should just treat us like the master of the Zhu family."

Song Ke also listened to this.

If he is serious, he is a fool.

The emperor can call you brothers and sisters, that is his strength.

As a subject, if you don't know the severity, you are not far from death.

Song Keben is a smart person, so he naturally knew the importance, so he said quickly:

"Your Majesty, you have broken my heart. Your Majesty is ninety-five years old and has a body of ten thousand gold. It is really a sin for me not to entertain you well."

Halfway through the speech, Song Ke suddenly realized that he was no longer an official, so he quickly changed his words:

"The grass people apologize to His Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled very kindly, and said:

"Apologize? Why are you guilty?"

"Since Mr. Zhong Wen doesn't want to call us Mr. Zhu, we won't force you..."

"But this time, we are sorry for you. If we hadn't stayed in your house, your family wouldn't have encountered so many troubles. Many servants died."

"We thought, we have to make up for you!"

"Don't call yourself a grassroots citizen in front of us. Although you are an official, you have also served as an official of my Ming Dynasty. In the future, you will call yourself a minister."

"Tell me, what can we offer you as compensation?"

Song Ke waved his hands again and again:

"Your Majesty, please don't say that."

"Sharing worries for the king is the duty of a courtier."

"The traitors infiltrated the minister's mansion, His Majesty did not punish the minister, the minister is already grateful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied and said:

"How about that?"

"If you don't want compensation...then we will really investigate the rebels in your house!"

Raising the pitch this time, Song Ke was so frightened that he quickly bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I have learned from you that when I recruited Liu Ke into the mansion, I kept him because of his poor background and his knowledge of horse training... Who would have thought that he was a descendant of Military Officer Zhang Shicheng..."

Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands and said:

"So, if you ask us for some compensation, won't this matter be over?"

It was the first time for Song Ke to meet someone who was so eager to post upside down. After hesitating for a while, he stretched out a finger and said:

"Then... 100 taels?"

Song Ke calculated in his heart that the family members of the servants who died always wanted to appease them, and he planned to give more money to resettle them.

When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately blew his nose and stared:

"Who do you look down on?"

"We want you to ask for compensation, and you want 100 taels?"

With that said, he waved his hand and decided:

"We'll give you 1000 taels of gold, so don't refuse."

"Take part of it and distribute it to the families of the servants who died."

"The rest, you keep it and train your granddaughter well... Girls must be rich. Our grandson is very fond of your precious granddaughter... You must not forget that they still have a marriage contract."

when saying this.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled very happily.

Zhu Xiongying, who was eating vegetables at the banquet, suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but sneezed.

Then, while rubbing his nose, he frowned and said:

"Which guy is thinking about me...?"

In the side hall.

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Song Ke was secretly pleased.

He had always liked Zhu Xiongying very much, and felt that this son would be able to accomplish great things in the future.

It would also be gratifying if my precious granddaughter could find such a husband.

But after learning of Zhu Xiongying's identity.

Song Ke thought that Gao could not get on with this marriage.

Hearing that Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned this matter again, Song Ke felt relieved.

"Yes, His Majesty personally bestowed the marriage, and I will definitely not forget it."

"I must do my best to train my granddaughter to be worthy of His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then shook his head again:

"Not only must you be worthy of the eldest grandson of the emperor."

"You have to be worthy of the future prince and the future emperor!"

After Song Ke heard this, he was shocked.

He never thought that the emperor would even tell himself such an extremely strict matter.

Although everyone knows that Zhu Xiongying must be the future crown prince, the future emperor of Ming Dynasty.

But it must be different to hear the emperor make a promise with his own ears.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy to see Song Ke smiling.

He said this to reassure Song Ke.

it means……

"Don't worry if your granddaughter waits to marry our grandson, she won't be at a disadvantage!"

The two talked in secret for a long time.

In the side hall, we exchanged cups and had a pleasant conversation.

It was not until late at night that Zhu Yuanzhang left the side hall.

at this time.

Zhu Xiongying went back to bed early.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little drunk, patted the shoulder of Song Ke who sent him out, and said:

"In the past few days, it seems that I will still bother you at your house."

"After a few days of rest, we have to go to Hangzhou with our grandson."

Song Ke listened and said with a smile:

"What a coincidence."

"I'm also planning to take my granddaughter to Hangzhou in a few days."

"Shiyao's father is doing business in Hangzhou, the old minister is going to take Shiyao to visit him, and tell him about Shiyao's engagement."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly and said:

"Yeah, it's the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and she should tell her father."

"So good!"

"We can also get together on the road and go to Hangzhou, so that the two children can get in touch with each other more."

Song Ke naturally agreed.

After making an appointment.

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Yuanzhang walked drunkenly, humming a little song, and walked towards the courtyard.
