Daming: Depriving Zhu Yunqi of luck at the beginning

Page 191

The two happened to meet each other.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunxi's feet went limp again, and he immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Grandpa Huang... Kowtow to Grandpa Huang!"

Seeing Zhu Yunxi's unsteady appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and reprimanded:

"Your father is still lying in the palace, where are you going?"

Zhu Yunxi was breaking out in a cold sweat at this moment, and hurriedly said:

"Grandson... grandson knelt for several hours, but couldn't stand it any longer. I wanted to get up and take a walk for a while..."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi raised his head carefully, and took a tentative look at Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

At this moment, I found that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was extremely ugly, and quickly lowered his head and added:

"The grandson will go back immediately and continue to kneel down to his father."

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say a few more words about him.

But I closed my eyes and thought about it, and then I stopped talking.

Originally, Lao Zhu wanted to spend some time cultivating Zhu Yunxie, so that he and Zhu Yunqiu could grow up through healthy competition.

Now it seems that Xiongying has returned, so it is meaningless.

Even if Zhu Yunxi couldn't do it, it wouldn't hurt.

and so.

Lao Zhu chose not to reprimand, just nodded and said:

"Filial piety depends on the heart regardless of deeds, you must always remember!"

After admonishing this sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the courtyard gate.

Zhu Yunwen, who was kneeling outside the hall, seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and soon noticed Zhu Yuanzhang's arrival.

He immediately pretended to be very sad, with tears still falling from the corners of his eyes.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Yunqi who was sobbing, he didn't show any expression, he just said:

"It's not bad that you have such filial piety."

Seeing this, Zhu Yunqi hurriedly wanted to show off, and replied:

"Grandson pays respects to Grandpa Huang."

"Father passed away, grandson was heartbroken and weeping here. Although he looked embarrassed, it all came from the heart. I hope Grandpa Huang will forgive me."

"Just now Yunxi was here, he is much better than his grandson, extremely calm and decent."

On the surface, these words were to praise Zhu Yunxi, but in fact they were implying to Zhu Yuanzhang that the kid Zhu Yunxi knelt halfway and left without shedding a single tear.

Seeing his tearful appearance, Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then he said:

"Okay, filial piety and sincerity, not bad."

"Then you can continue to kneel down to your father."

After leaving such a sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang entered the palace alone, leaving both grandsons outside the palace.

Zhu Yunqi, who originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would let him enter the palace to rest, was completely dumbfounded.

It was uncomfortable to kneel outside the main hall, Zhu Yunxi had resisted for several hours and was unable to hold on, so he got up.

Although Zhu Yunqi was a bit smarter, he had already tied a cushion under his dress so that kneeling would not be so painful.

But after persisting for a few hours, Zhu Yunxuan could hardly hold on any longer. If he knelt down again, God knows if he would just fall down like this.

He didn't expect that his grandfather didn't blame Zhu Yunxi, and even let himself continue to kneel here, which was really unexpected.

Although he was not reconciled, he could only grit his teeth and continue kneeling.

Zhu Yuanzhang entered the house by himself, and ordered He Li, who followed him closely, to close the palace door.

Then, with a cold snort, he said:

"There are so many thoughts."

"Is it true that we can't see that he has a soft cloth tied under him? Yunxi knelt on the stone slab for several hours, but this kid is kneeling on the soft cushion, so uncomfortable!"

"Dare to use this kind of cleverness just after my father died, it's really hateful!"

"According to our previous temper, people will definitely beat him dozens of boards!"

He Li was amazed that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyesight and thinking suddenly became clear, and he didn't dare to speak, but just stood aside peacefully, listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words in silence.

Lao Zhu glanced at him and said:

"Now that the hero has returned, this matter still needs to be kept secret."

"But we're not fools. Can't you see who caused him and who didn't want him to go back to the palace?"

"You are Jin Yiwei. You have been searching for Xiongying's whereabouts all these years. Didn't you find any clues?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's question made He Li terrified.

He didn't know whether Zhu Yuanzhang's question was referring to the person who caused the whereabouts of the emperor's eldest grandson to be unknown, or where the whereabouts of the emperor's eldest grandson were all these years.

If it is the former, He Li can reply with a few words.

But if the latter is the question...

He Li didn't know how to answer.

For so many years, he has indeed known Zhu Xiongying's whereabouts all along.

But Zhu Yuanzhang never asked him directly.

This time, if Zhu Yuanzhang asked, how should he answer?

If you say that you have no clue at all, isn't it deceiving the king?

Thinking of this, He Li also became a little nervous.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a meaningful look, and said coldly:

"Let me ask you something, why are you panicking?"

He Li had never felt such terrifying oppression in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, as if facing an omniscient and majestic wise man, he quickly clasped his fists and said:

"I... I really don't know..."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him and said word by word:

"Heh, we've been thinking about it on the way back today, and now we've come back to it..."

"For so many years, so many Jinyiwei all over the world have been searching for our eldest grandson, why can't we find it after nine years?"

"It was you..."

He Li was sweating like rain, his legs went limp, and he quickly knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crimes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently:

"Yes, you are damned."

"Is there anything else to say?"

"If you confess frankly, we can send you off lightly!"

He Li thought for a while, and finally bit the bullet and shook his head:

"My lord, I have nothing to say."

I heard what He Li said.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened.

He waved his hand and said:

"Okay, let's not pursue it... Remember, we don't blame you, it's because our grandson still uses you. If you become a member of my hero, don't tell us everything..."

"If you dare to betray Xiongying, even if you tell us everything, we will kill you, understand?"

Chapter 202 He Li's promotion, the new conductor

He Li looked up in shock.

He thought that he would die for sure, but he didn't expect to hear Zhu Yuanzhang say this.

Aren't the emperors in history the most afraid of the royal descendants forming cliques and having their own influence?

Why did the Emperor Hongwu whom he was serving willingly let his own people be incorporated by his own grandson?

Seems like you still look happy?

He Li really couldn't figure it out.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuanzhang continued:

"You have been in Jinyiwei for a long time."

"We didn't mention your official position before because of your ineffective guards. Now that Xiongying is safe and sound, let's see, it's time to mention your rank..."

"How about it, let's promote you to be a commander, from the third rank, second only to Hu Wei in the guard."

"Since you have become a hero, then do it well and make good use of your power in Jinyiwei, understand?"

What Lao Zhu said was no longer a hint, but a complete and explicit statement.

If Zhu Xiongying didn't want to reveal his identity, Zhu Yuanzhang even wanted to hand over Jin Yiwei to his grandson completely.

After all, Lao Zhu specifically exhorted:

"Remember, whatever Xiongying tells you to do, you will follow it as if it were an imperial decree."

"If someone else asks, you can say that we personally explained it."

He Li was like dreaming, and he couldn't react for a while.

But he knew that he seemed to be betting right.

This time, not only is there no crime, but the future is bright and smooth.

then.

He hastily handed over Shane:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness... I will go through fire and water for His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson!"

He Li is still very clever, knowing that it is better to express his loyalty to Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the emperor, than to show his loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang would be happier.

as predicted.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction after hearing He Li's words.

then.

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered his conversation with Zhu Xiongying in the Imperial College, so he said to He Li:

"Now you go back."

"If you get promoted, Jin Yiwei will have to fill in a new command post."

"Let's just sit here and wait for you to come to see us with a new conductor."

He Li knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

Hastily cupped his hands and said:

"Sir, obey the order!"
