Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Oh?

Listening to what this person said, Zhu Youlong looked a little nervous.

He carefully took the sign from the man's hand.

In addition to avoiding the blind date, he returned to the capital early to report the matter on the King of Han's armor in advance.

He had no way to find Zhu Youjian himself, so he entrusted Cao Bianjiao to help him talk to His Majesty.

He originally thought he would have to wait for some time, but he didn't expect that he would be notified as soon as he arrived in Beijing.

But after listening to it, he suddenly felt a little anxious.

He had already heard about this sacrificial ceremony.

It has nothing to do with common people and officials, but is a ritual within the royal family.

To put it bluntly, it is to gather princes from all over the country to offer incense to Lord Hongwu, and to win over everyone's feelings.

But no matter how you calculate it, it has nothing to do with him.

With all the things the King of Han had done, how could he have the nerve to attend the clan's grand ceremony?

Even if there is, he is not qualified to represent the King of Han as an illegitimate son.

"I..."

"Your Majesty really agrees to let me go?"

After struggling for a long time, Zhu Youlong took a deep breath and looked at the servant.

"Anyway, that's what my master said."

"In addition, the master also said that you should prepare well."

"Sir, you are the descendant of the King of Han, and the King of Han is the direct descendant of Grandpa Cheng."

"When you go this time, don't weaken your identity as an ancestor."

The servant nodded, moved closer and lowered his voice.

After listening carefully, Zhu Youlong suddenly felt more uneasy.

How is this not a weak method?

What if he is too showy and His Majesty doesn't like him?

The things that our ancestors did are taboo for the emperor!

"Okay, I see."

"Brother, please wait for a few days."

"You can use this money to buy some tea."

After a while, Zhu Youlong, who had a headache, took out a half-liang note from his arms and stuffed it into the man's hand with a long sigh.

The servant looked at the banknotes in his hand and almost smiled!

As expected of a soldier of Zhu Jiajun, his actions are bold and arrogant!

He immediately bowed and left the inn.

If it was necessary to bring it, he had already brought it.

As for what Zhu Youlong was struggling with, it was not something that his servants could share.

Farewell!

Zhu Youlong didn't show any interest in him and continued to drink from the wine bottle.

I didn't make my decision until I finished drinking.

Since Cao Bianjiao specifically reminded him not to weaken his identity as the King of Han, his ancestor.

Then this must make sense.

Just do as he says, your general will never harm him!

---------------------------------------

February passed in a blink of an eye.

As the spring breeze blows through the capital in March.

The cold temperatures have finally picked up significantly.

It will be sunny and beautiful on March 1st!

Busyness began early inside and outside the palace.

Royal sacrifice is a major event, and there is no room for sloppiness.

The inner court has been busy with this for more than half a month, and Wang Chengen is watching everywhere for fear of problems.

At this time, in the main hall, all the thirty-one princes of the Ming Dynasty have arrived. Together with the people from various small sects, the number of people together is more than two hundred.

In addition, there are many princes here who come with their princes to participate in the sacrifice.

However, these princes were arranged in separate halls to prevent the main hall from being too crowded.

It was already late when Zhu Youlong arrived, and looking at the various princes in the palace, he was a little afraid to go in.

He had no other preparations today. He just wore the armor left by the King of Han.

Compared with the princes inside who were wearing silk and satin, his outfit was somewhat different.

"Master, please hurry in."

"Your Majesty will be here soon."

"It's not polite outside."

The little eunuch who led the way saw that Zhu Youlong was hesitant to go in, so he quickly urged him.

He didn't know Zhu Youlong, but he knew the brand.

The person who can bring the sign is not only a prince but also the patriarch of a branch of the royal family.

Although he was curious about why Zhu Youlong came wearing armor, he didn't dare to ask more.

"call..."

When Zhu Youlong heard this, his fists clenched tightly.

After taking several breaths, he walked into the hall.

As he moved around, the dazzling armor on his body suddenly made a sound.

In the main hall, many princes who were chatting turned their heads in unison when they heard the noise, looking at Zhu Youlong strangely.

The look in his eyes was obviously very doubtful.

"Whose family is this? Why are you here wearing armor?"

"Here, there's something wrong with this armor. Is there a dragon on the skirt?"

"Could it be His Majesty? No, I've seen His Majesty's portrait. He doesn't look like this."

The constant discussions coming from all around made Zhu Youlong even more nervous, and drops of sweat broke out on his forehead.

Just when Zhu Youlong was embarrassed, a prince wearing gorgeous clothes walked next to him.

The prince walked up to him and looked him up and down, raised his eyebrows slightly, and spoke somewhat unkindly.

"Good guy, which family are you the prince of?"

"Even after I am the King of Qin, I dare not wear armor of this size. Are you trying to rebel?"

As the highest-ranking prince in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cunshu was originally the most conspicuous person in the palace besides the Tang prince.

But as Zhu Youlong moved forward, he stole all the limelight.

If that's the case, that's it. He, Zhu Cunshu, will at most think that this person is crazy for trying to get ahead and want to save his face in front of His Majesty.

But as he took a few more glances, he immediately realized that something was not right about Zhu Youlong's armor.

As we got closer, the feeling became even stronger!

As a descendant of King Qin, his ancestor was Zhu Xiang, the second son of Taizu, one of the nine great fortress kings in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty!

Given his status, none of the armor passed down from his family was of this standard.

This set of armor looks like it was worn by an emperor, although the specifications for the emperor seem to be a bit off...

But no matter what, this armor is definitely beyond the scope of what the prince can wear!

The color alone is beyond the mark!

"Zhu Youlong has met His Highness King Qin."

King Qin...

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youlong quickly raised his hands and saluted.

This is the King of Qin, and his status is higher than that of his ancestors.

He didn't dare to offend anyone.

"Zhu Youlong?"

"Hiss, I have remembered it!"

"The Ming Dynasty Daily said that the Zhu family army produced a descendant of the Han Dynasty with great military exploits. I am talking about you."

"Tsk...that's not surprising."

Zhu Youlong?

The name sounds familiar.

Zhu Cunshu thought for a while and then suddenly realized.

It turns out that he is a descendant of the Han Dynasty...

No wonder this armor looks weird.

However, this person seems to be an illegitimate child, and he is not even listed in the big family tree.

Is he also qualified to participate in the sacrifice?

"King of Han? Which King of Han? Zhu Gaoxu?"

"There is a second King of Han in the Ming Dynasty? Why is he here..."

"Is he worthy of being an illegitimate child? Is Your Majesty crazy?"

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense, or your Majesty will cause trouble for you."

When they heard that they were descendants of the King of Han, the surrounding princes who were eavesdropping were all stunned.

Then there was even greater discussion!

Not to mention the rebellion of his ancestors, the man in front of him was an illegitimate child.

Why should the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty participate in the sacrificial ceremony?
