Daming: Depriving Zhu Yunqi of luck at the beginning

Page 230

Zhu Yan nodded and said:

"Get up."

Gao Yang stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Yan looked at him and said slowly:

"The king has installed you in Beiping for many years, and has not contacted you these years. Do you know why?"

Gao Yang said:

"Your Highness must want King Yan to trust me completely, so he didn't contact his subordinates casually."

"Now that King Yan is leaving Beiping, he only takes you as the leader of the guards," Zhu Yan nodded in satisfaction, "It seems that you have done a good job."

"Since this king has contacted you, there is an important matter that needs you to do... Have you connected with Lan Yu's people before?"

Gao Yang replied:

"Return to Your Highness, we have already contacted you."

"When King Yan and Duke Liang went into the woods to have a secret conversation, Duke Liang's subordinates slipped a note to me. That's when I knew His Highness was waiting for me in this restaurant."

"What should I do next, please show me your Highness!"

Zhu Yan stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said:

"First, tell me everything that Zhu Di has done in Beiping these years, and what you plan to do when you return to Beijing this time."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Gao Yang thought for a while, and then began to slowly describe what King Yan had done in Beiping these years.

However, even though he is the leader of King Yan's guards, and he is an official to thousands of households, he doesn't know too much about the affairs of King Yan's mansion.

Therefore, he could only tell who King Yan had a close relationship with.

After listening to what Gao Yang said.

Zhu Yan caressed his long beard lightly, and said with a slight smile:

"Often have secret talks with a monk named Daoyan?"

"Interesting... Unexpectedly, the fourth child also likes to study Buddhism."

"This monk only knows how to eat fast and recite the Buddha's name, and let people become monks, so how can he know the general trend of the world... Fourth brother, fourth child, you are really going back as you live..."

then.

Zhu Yan looked at Gao Yang and said:

"However, this fourth younger brother of this king has always kept secrets. Who knows if he is talking secretly with the monk..."

"In the past few days, you have been keeping a close eye on King Yan for this king. If there is any trouble in him, you will find a way to spread the news."

"There is a side courtyard next to the stables in the southeast corner of the official post. When you are ugly every day, you stuff the news into the door of the first room in the courtyard. Naturally, someone will bring the news to the king."

Gao Yang quickly cupped his fists and said:

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Zhu Yan smiled and patted Gao Yang's shoulder, saying:

"You don't need to worry, concealing your identity is the most important thing, and this king will use you to do great things... As long as you make sure that King Yan still trusts you, you will be the sharp knife that can stab him in the heart at the last moment!"

"Your parents and family are all living well in Taiyuan. As long as you do well, I guarantee that they will enjoy prosperity and wealth for a lifetime."

Hear this.

Cold sweat oozed from Gao Yang's back.

He hurriedly said:

"Subordinates must be the only ones to look forward to, His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"As long as His Royal Highness gives an order, the subordinates will go through fire and water, and they will do whatever they want!"

Zhu Yan nodded in satisfaction and said:

"That's good."

"Well, you've been out for a while."

"Zhu Di may leave the palace at any time, you should go back."

Gao Yang leaned down and said:

"Yes! Your Highness!"

……

The next day.

Zhu Xiongying woke up early to pay respects to his grandmother, Empress Ma.

And with Empress Ma's kind smile, she pulled two large bowls of rice porridge.

In the past few days, because all his sons have returned from the fiefdom, it can be seen that Queen Ma's mental state has improved a lot.

However, what made Queen Ma the happiest was naturally the return of Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson.

"Are you full? You are still growing, you should eat more. Grandma will serve you another bowl?"

Empress Ma saw that Zhu Xiongying had finished the porridge, so she hurriedly asked.

Zhu Xiongying repeatedly waved his hands and said:

"Okay, grandma, my grandson can't drink anymore."

Empress Ma pointed to a table of exquisite pastries and asked:

"Then don't you eat the pastries?"

"Don't eat," Zhu Xiongying rubbed his stomach, and said, "My grandson has already had two bowls of porridge, so I won't be able to eat any more lunch."

Queen Ma said:

"It's still early."

"When your grandfather was young, he could eat four bowls of porridge and six steamed buns in the morning."

"That's it, he was hungry before noon."

"Xiongying, are you feeling unwell? Why can't you just eat these?"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said:

"How can you compare with grandpa, how much physical work he had to do every day at that time..."

"The grandson doesn't even move around every day, so naturally he can't eat a lot."

are chatting.

Just heard a voice outside the door shouting:

"Hey, what dish is so delicious this morning, we are lucky."

The voice did not fall.

Zhu Yuanzhang lifted his foot and stepped in.

Chapter 244 I Only Give You One Month To Investigate

After Zhu Yuanzhang entered the room, all the eunuchs and maids in the room knelt on the ground.

"Get up and do what you need to do."

Lao Zhu waved his hand and sat down at the table.

"Grandson Xiongying, please greet Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Xiongying also stood up from the chair and bowed to Zhu Xiongying.

"Okay my dear grandson, don't be too polite, just sit down and eat." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the table full of dishes and pastries, took a deep breath, and said, "Today's dishes are not bad, Queen, you made these by yourself of?"

Empress Ma nodded and said: "It's rare for Xiongying to come to my place for breakfast, so naturally I want to cook some of his favorite dishes."

"Let's see that these are our favorites. As expected of our grandson, the taste is similar to ours." Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, and served himself a bowl of porridge, "There is no morning ceremony today... …When the meeting is over, Xiongying, follow me to the Hall of Martial Arts, all your uncles have come back, let me take you to meet them."

"Wait tomorrow, your father's affairs should be finished."

"All arrangements have been made at Xiaoling's side, and our family will see him off for the last time tomorrow."

"He is the crown prince, we want to give him a grand occasion, even if we get there, we won't allow others to look down on our old Zhu family."

Listen to Zhu Yuanzhang say this.

The atmosphere in the room became a little more serious.

However, after all, Zhu Biao has been gone for some time.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma would not cry at the thought of it.

They looked at Zhu Xiongying, and their hearts eased a lot, as if Zhu Xiongying was their greatest hope for the future.

Zhu Xiongying said:

"Yes, Grandpa Huang, my grandson knows."

……

Hall of Martial Arts.

The kings were summoned into the palace, and this time it was considered a formal visit to the emperor.

After the kings entered the palace, they were all surprised to see Zhu Xiongying standing beside Zhu Yuanzhang.

Each vassal has a different expression on his face, some are relieved, some are gloomy, and some are expressionless.

Jin Wang Zhu Yan and Yan Wang Zhu Di were one of those expressionless faces.

After the kings paid homage.

Zhu Yuanzhang said some casual remarks, trained several vassal kings who were acting absurdly in the fief, and then sent them all away.

Another day later, the prince went out for the funeral.

this day.

From the capital to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, hundreds of officials from the court went to the funeral with the royal family, the eldest grandson of the emperor Zhu Xiongying helped the spirit, and all the princes accompanied him.

The scene was so grand that the people in the capital were all moved.

By night.

Zhu Xiongying offered to stay in Xiaoling and guard his father's tomb for another seven days. This kind of filial piety made many senior officials in the court admire him.

After Zhu Yuanzhang and others left.

There was a knock on the door of Zhu Xiongying's house guarding the mausoleum.

"come in."

That person pushed the door open, it was Li Munian.

He is now He Li's subordinate in Jinyiwei Zhongqianhu.

Facing Zhu Xiongying's back, Li Munian cupped his fists and said:

"Your Highness, Master Tongzhi said that you have something to do with the bidder."

Zhu Xiongying turned around, looked at Li Munian, and said with a smile:

"You look more imposing."

"Compared to nine years ago, he looks more like a person who can do things."

Li Munian laughed and said:

"Thanks to the careful teaching of Commander and Tongzhi, Biao Xia has made progress in these years."
