Unofficial History of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty

The awkward Lord Ning would not admit that he was jealous.

The little rabbit got up early, fell asleep in a daze after bumping around for a while, and when he woke up again, he saw a snow-capped mountain connected to the sky in the distance.

"Then what mountain?" The little rabbit had never been out of the palace a few times, so he was very excited to see such a majestic mountain.

"What do you look like?" Wu Jie also looked at the steep tower.

The little rabbit looked up for a long time carefully: "Return the clock."

Wu Jie smiled and straightened the skirt for the little rabbit: "That is Shi Zhongshan."

The little rabbit's eyes lit up. He heard that there was such a mountain in Jiangxi, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. After admiring it for a moment, he suddenly thought of something, and turned his head to look at Wu Jie excitedly with an "ah".Knowing that he understood, Wu Jie rubbed his frozen red ears and said, "Yes, this Shizhong Mountain is located on the southeast bank of Poyang Lake."

The little rabbit was excited, looked at the father who held his head high and chest up, and then at Wu Jie, Wu Jie nodded.

Ever since Yan Wang Zhu Di seized the throne, he has greatly reduced the power of the vassal kings and closely monitored their every move. Even if Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, wanted to leave the palace, he had to report to Chang Shi Liu Qing and promised to bring a group of I don't know how many ears and eyes guards have been mixed up.According to Zhu Chenhao's temperament, it is extremely rare to be willing to open this golden mouth for Zhu Mengyu's whim.

"Don't look at your father's stern face on weekdays, you are always on the tip of his heart."

After hearing this, the little rabbit felt a warmth in his heart, as if he was hugged by Zhu Chenhao that day.When I got closer, I heard the breeze and the waves, the water and the stone hitting each other, the sound was like a bell.

"Shizhong Mountain is facing a deep pool. The terrain is dangerous. It strangles the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake. It is condescending. It can be attacked when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. It is a battleground for military strategists." Wu Jie explained to the little rabbit, and the little rabbit nodded and wrote it down seriously.

When the group arrived at the entrance of Poyang Lake, they saw a group of graceful birds on the water, pecking at the fish, shrimp, snails and mussels in the water leisurely. Occasionally, a few of them looked up at the group of uninvited strangers people.Standing in the sedge group some distance away from the lake, Wu Jie pointed out one by one for the little rabbit to identify:

"The one flying with white body and black feet is the white spoonbill, the one with white belly and black feathers is the black stork, the one with white wings and gray and black spots on the neck is the great bustard, and the one with the skin under its beak is the pelican..."

The little rabbit turned its neck back and forth, looking dazzled, and then pointed at the birds flying towards the sky: "Cranes?"

"There's a little red on the crane's head, that's a white crane."

The little rabbit said "oh", and then he was curious about the white cranes that always had two big families and one small one moving together: "Do the white cranes go out with their families?"

Wu Jie hugged the little rabbit, and turned his gaze to the rabbit father who was jealous: "Aren't we too?"

Lord Ning, who had been silent all along, couldn't bear it any longer, and walked into the reeds with a frown.Wu Jie winked at the little rabbit, and the little rabbit immediately ran to Zhang Jin who was eavesdropping and rolled his eyes knowingly, and said that he wanted him to accompany him to watch the white crane up close.Remembering the previous lesson, Zhang Jin has learned to be smart. While protecting Zhu Chenhao, he also cared about his prince's face. He immediately persuaded his brother Zhang Chong, who was in charge of the command, to order all the guards to trot until he could vaguely see Wu Jie and Zhu through the reeds. Chen Hao was in shape but couldn't see his face clearly, and then accompanied the little rabbit to watch the birds.

Wu Jie silently admired Zhang Jin's sense of humor, then slowly walked to Zhu Chenhao's side, took out something from his waist and handed it over: "My lord doesn't like to hold a birthday banquet, so let's give this gift in advance!"

Zhu Chenhao glanced at it with a stern face, it was a white jade tablet carved on both sides, the jade tablet was fat white, slightly light blue, delicate and warm, without variegated colors.On both sides of the jade plaque, there is a rabbit standing on a osmanthus branch, and the rabbit's eye is an acacia bean inlaid in the jade.Zhu Chenhao has no other hobbies in his life, but he has a special liking for jade.Now seeing this delicately carved and polished warm and beautiful jade, he couldn't help but take it and rub it carefully.

Seeing that Zhu Chenhao's expression had eased a lot, Wu Jie took off another jade tablet and handed it to him: "This pair of jade tablets are originally from the same white jade, but mine has a little bit of stone flakes, so I can only keep it for myself. "

Zhu Chenhao took advantage of Wu Jie's hand to look carefully at it, and saw that his piece of jade really had sporadic stone flowers, it was not as clear as the piece in his own hand, but it was also a good collection, but looking at Zhu Chenhao, he found that, Wu Jie's jade tablet is clearly engraved with a grass with obliquely oval leaves, and a flower bloomed from that grass, with a lovesickness bean embedded in the center of the flower...

"This grass is called 'Dian Dianhong'." Wu Jie leaned his jade tablet against Zhu Chenhao's jade tablet, "Co-authoring is - rabbits like to eat grass beside their nests."

Lord Ning, who was thin-skinned and full of stuff, knew that he was being treated lightly by Wu Jie's words again, and was about to frown, but Wu Jie took advantage of the fire and hugged him behind him.This long-lost familiar atmosphere made Zhu Chenhao feel a little dazed.I still remember that night, it was the familiar embrace of the people behind me that made the most difficult rain in the past not so long.

These days of confrontation, I thought it was something I could not ask for, but I didn't expect that his indifference of avoiding seeing and turning a blind eye actually seemed to cast a layer of darkness on my heart, everything I saw was dim, and everything I ate was tasteless .When I was alone, I was sometimes disheartened, and sometimes I felt resentful, hating that he was leisurely and happy under my nose, but occupied a place in his heart...

In front of my eyes, there are several rows of egrets, and the reeds are swaying, flying in order.Cranes crow a few times, the snow melts, and the shadows form a pair.

The person behind him whispered in his ear: "You must get married?"

The reeds swaying in front of me stirred the lake water to reflect the snow, making it bright and dark.Zhu Chenhao closed his eyes, and let Wu Jie tie the jade plaque around his waist and follow the tassel, but his mind was confused.

He is King Ning, a feudal lord who is incompatible with Emperor Zhengde. All these years of hiding jade and pearls, keeping a low profile, is just another shameful day, and he is worthy of his father's dying entrustment.

It was not his intention to own the world, but he was already sitting on a boat with a broken rudder, and the boat carried the inheritance of King Ning for generations. He could not turn the bow of the boat, but could only wait for the boat to dock or hit the rocks.

No matter what the ending is, this feeling stuck in the throat is destined to be a stillbirth that cannot be kept.

Even if he didn't say these words, Wu Jie should know, so why bother about whether he is married or not?

Wu Jie couldn't wait for an answer, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. He could feel that something that could soften a hard heart was slipping away from the body in his arms.He turned his body and forced him to meet his eyes, but suddenly he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from far away.

The two brothers Zhang Chong and Zhang Jin, who discovered the situation before them, had led their troops to meet them and blocked the way. Zhu Mengyu joined them under the protection of two guards. Behind them was Poyang Lake. There was no way for them to retreat, so they came to the place where the horse was tied quickly and untied the horse along the lake to avoid the right and wrong place.

Here, dozens of strong men on horseback stopped in front of Zhang Jin, and the leader of the bearded strong man impatiently scratched the messy hair under the scarf, and pointed at the horses behind Zhang Jin with the burden with a knife: "Rob!"

Zhang Chong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that they were just here to rob money, seeing that the other party didn't know the identity of King Ning, if they put some water on them and let them grab a few horses and chase them fiercely, they would definitely retreat by themselves.However, Zhang Jin, who followed Zhu Chenhao since he was a child, didn't think so. He was eager to protect his master and rushed ahead without waiting for Zhang Chong's order.Those gangsters were all desperadoes. Seeing Zhang Jin rushing up desperately, he was really rude, and the two gangs fought in a melee.

Zhang Chong watched anxiously from the side, blamed his younger brother for being reckless, and at the same time could only cooperate to distract the gangsters.However, the gangsters have long been used to this tactic of attacking east and west, and while the two brothers were unable to get away, several fast horses took the opportunity to overtake the front and went straight to the lakeside.

The birds standing by the water were startled and scattered in all directions. Wu Jie also heard what the gangsters said just now, knowing that what they wanted was just the burden of the horses that were still some distance away from them, so he protected Zhu Mengyu and Zhu Mengyu under the cover of the guards. Chen Hao galloped away on his horse, but there were overgrown reeds on the bank, and there was no ready-made road, so the horse walked very hard.The four gangsters scolded their mothers bitterly after grabbing the horse's burden. After all, Zhu Chenhao and his party came out to swim in the lake with a lot of ostentation, but they were all in plain clothes and didn't bring much valuable things.One of the gangsters with a scar on his forehead turned his head and saw several people who were trying to escape in the reeds. Seeing that Zhu Chenhao and Wu Jie were well dressed, with a sword and jade hanging on their waists, he immediately moved his mind and pointed the sword there , and the other three chased after them with a flick of their whips.

The two guards secretly thought something was wrong, turned their horses and ran back, intending to delay the time.

But their stature was no match for a burly man who made a living by robbing houses, and they were cut off without the help of the other two.Without the last protection, Wu Jie, Zhu Chenhao and his son were exposed to these gangsters.Seeing them chasing after them brandishing their knives, Wu Jie suddenly handed Zhu Mengyu in his arms into Zhu Chenhao's hands, whipped the sword around Zhu Chenhao's waist, and hit his horse with a whip.Zhu Chenhao's horse was better than Wu Jie's, only Zhu Chenhao was accommodating so he didn't get ahead.At this moment the horse was frightened, and when Zhu Chenhao was in a daze, he galloped forward.

Zhu Chenhao instinctively protected Zhu Mengyu and lowered his body on the horse. When he looked back again, he saw Wu Jie blocked the blow with his sword, and another strong man had walked around him and stabbed him at his right shoulder.At such a distance, Zhu Chenhao couldn't even hear the sound of skin being ripped open, only the red streaks sprinkled in the blindingly white snow, which was particularly shocking.

Zhu Mengyu finally regained his senses from the fright, and shouted "Doctor Wu!" in Zhu Chenhao's arms. Seeing that Wu Jie had been slashed, the two gangsters saw that Wu Jie had been slashed, knowing that he couldn't resist, so they swung their whips and chased after Zhu in front. Chen Hao and his son.Unexpectedly, not long after they went out, they saw Zhu Chenhao who was unarmed, turned his horse and rushed back, and Zhu Chenhao, who was stunned by the two bandits, had already arrived.

The two looked at each other in surprise, one of them gritted his teeth and raised his knife to slash at Zhu Chenhao.At this time, Wu Jie was already unable to do what he wanted, seeing that Zhu Chenhao came back secretly thinking something was wrong, he didn't care about the two big men in front, turned around to expose his back to their attack range, and ran towards Zhu Chenhao.The strange thing is that the two big men behind him didn't take this opportunity to chop him into pieces, but watched him rushing to Zhu Chenhao indifferently, blocking the knife for him.

At this moment, they heard the sound of two horseshoes and surrounded them. When the four saw Zhang Chong and Zhang Jin leading their men and horses, they knew that the situation was over. They left the fat sheep to be slaughtered and planned to rush out of the siege, but they were still defeated by Zhang. Jin blocked his way, so he had no choice but to catch him without a fight.

Zhang Jin stepped forward to check on Zhu Chenhao and Zhu Mengyu, and he was relieved to see that they were not injured.Zhang Chong reported the situation of the battle to Zhu Chenhao with several gangsters, including the bearded man who kept shouting, and Zhu Chenhao nodded, ordering Zhang Chong to take the group of gangsters back to Yanzhou. Take care, and then asked Zhang Jin if he had any medicine to stop the bleeding. Zhang Jin looked at Wu Jie, who was bleeding profusely but his face was still calm, obediently took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and sprinkled some powder on Wu Jie's hand. Then he tore off a piece of cloth and bandaged him briefly.

After returning to the mansion, Wu Jie fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.Zhu Mengyu yelled a few times but didn't wake him up, he was so worried that tears were about to fall, Zhu Chenhao said that this little injury was nothing, and ordered someone to call for a medical officer quickly.The old medical officer took a closer look and said that Wu Jie's injury was not deep, only a long gash, nothing serious, just need to recuperate for a few days.Only then did Zhu Mengyu heave a sigh of relief, but he still stayed by Wu Jie's side for the whole night.

Wu Jie slept until noon the next day before waking up. Seeing the little rabbit with red eyes, he hugged him distressingly to comfort him.At this time, Dianshan Song Mu came to see Wu Jie with some supplements he had bought from someone.Wu Jie accepted it gratefully, chatted for a few words and then asked about Zhu Chenhao, Song Mu sighed: "Those bandits yesterday were interrogated by Zhang Jin, and they confessed that the governor Wang Zhe ordered them to take the prince's life! "

Wu Jie was silent for a while, Song Mu said he didn't believe it, and continued: "I heard that more than [-] privately cast military seals were found from those people, which is the iron proof that Mr. Wang colluded with the bandits!"

Military seals are naturally used to command the army. According to this statement, Wang Zhe, who has no military power, intends to take these bandits in Jiangxi as his personal armed forces. The charges are more than enough.

No wonder Zhu Chenhao didn't have time to visit, such a big event, he had to make arrangements for it.
