Daming prepares the emperor

"Feed what?"

As the evening approached, there were more people around again, and the voices of bargaining when buying vegetables went straight to people's ears, and Zhu Biao didn't hear what Zhu Di was saying for a while.

Maybe he has seen the mouth shape clearly, but subconsciously doesn't want to believe it.

"Dog." Zhu Di was relieved when he found out that the elder brother didn't know the truth, "Zhu Jingjing said that he wanted to raise it in the Imperial Garden."

"Isn't she looking at the chicken?" Zhu Biao was taken aback, "Did Wei Zhongde pay for it?"

"Out!" Zhu Di said, "The dolphins have already been tied up and put on the cart. They said that it was you who agreed, big brother, and they also brought up the things about the father when he was a child, thinking that the father would be happy."

"..." Zhu Biao was silent for a moment, and said word by word, "I don't know if Dad is happy, but I am very unhappy."

Zhu Di swallowed, and nodded vigorously: "I can see it."

"Where are those little bastards?"

Zhu Di pointed out without hesitation and betrayed his brothers and sisters.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Zhu Biao saw the juggling team.

At the moment, the performances are walking on stilts and jumping through fire rings. The difficulty is high and there are many people. There are three circles in the audience and three circles outside. The center is tightly surrounded. If children want to see, they can only sit on the necks of parents .

Zhu Xi and the others are knowledgeable and well-educated, sitting on those guards and watching with relish, there is no anxiety or thinking on their faces, only the joy and enjoyment of playing crazy, and the drummer applauds from time to time, and they can't think of someone like Zhu Biao coming .

He counted, and everyone was there except Zhu Di.

"Be good." Zhu Biao patted Zhu Di's head, "Tell Big Brother, why did you come to tell me?"

"Because I don't want to be beaten afterwards." Zhu Di said honestly.

"..."

The dolphin was left outside in the end. Facing Zhu Jingjing's tearful eyes, Zhu Biao showed a firm attitude. After compensating her two chicken cubs, she stopped crying and soon forgot to ask the emperor and prince to feed the pig. With a grand wish, holding a basket and discussing with Zhu Jingning where to feed the rabbits and chickens.

After dinner at the restaurant, Zhu Biao took them to watch a shadow puppet show. After night fell, he accompanied them to row boats on the Qinhuai River to set off lanterns. They bought a wooden mask for each of them. They didn't set off for the palace until the moon was high. At this time, They were still very energetic, chattering non-stop on the carriage, talking nonsense, paralyzed or lying down, like a group of ducks tired from playing.

"Okay, let's go back to each palace."

Zhu Biao got off the carriage, and said to the princes and princesses who were lined up in front of him: "Father is coming back soon, you have to be good, behave well, study hard, and don't let the masters come to me to complain, so that you can have a good life." The next chance to go out, understand?"

"Understood—" said a few times.

"Say it again."

"Understood, brother." They cheered up and responded again.

"Well, let's go."

Seeing the maids and eunuchs sent by the empresses of the palaces to pick him up, Zhu Biao turned sideways and said, "Don't follow me, just do what you have to do."

Wei Zhongde retreated as ordered, and only Zhu Biao was left in the quiet night all around. He walked towards Fengtian Temple, but the patrolling guards couldn't find him, so they passed him by with lanterns and knives.

The moonlight shone on the corner of the eaves, and darkness shrouded the palace city. The silence and solemnity came so quickly, and it was restored again in the blink of an eye, overshadowing the children's laughter and the footsteps of the palace people left in the original place.

The white jade steps reflected a faint light, and Zhu Biao stepped on them, approaching the center of the Forbidden City step by step.

When he came to the front of the hall, he just pushed open a crack in the door, and a voice came from inside impatiently: "Boss, you have come to see me."

There are no lamps in the dark hall, and a few beams of moonlight penetrated through the window, divided into grids and sprinkled on the ground, and the smear that came in through the crack of the door was the most clear and bright, hitting the wall in an instant, like a black and white movie that suddenly started, And its first shot is the throne in front of which is carved with dragon pattern, on which the dragon's body is coiled, the dragon's mouth is wide open, and a pair of straight eyes scans the imperial city.

The dragon chair that has temporarily left its master still exudes supreme majesty, revealing Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce determination engraved in his bones. First affected by this, the five-clawed golden dragon seems to always choose to eat people.

"Boss, is that you, boss?"

The voice sounded again, and it seemed a little strange in such an environment and atmosphere. After careful identification, it seemed to be coming from the dragon chair.

Zhu Biao said helplessly: "Stop screaming, this will pass."

He walked to the back of the main hall, where there was a separate room, empty without any furniture, except for a screen outside and a bright yellow cushion in the middle, on which a golden porcelain bowl squatted.

It kept waving its arms, like a branch waving in the wind, and said excitedly: "Boss, it's really you, do you have anything to do with me, when can I go out? I'm getting bored to death staying here these days. "

Zhichi stayed behind Fengtian Temple for a few months. Compared with before, it has a very strong dragon spirit and popularity. The painted dragon on the bowl is even more lifelike, with clear scales and a lively expression. It swims very happily. Yanque Lake The vitality of the earth's veins is constantly fused with it, and the enchantment of the Forbidden City is constantly being operated by Zhi Chi. I believe that it will not take long for the idea of ​​​​moving the imperial city to be realized.

"Today is the night of the full moon, didn't you notice it?" Zhu Biao stretched out his hand, and the little golden dragon stretched from waist to arm, opened its mouth to catch Zhi Chi, picked it up and hung it in the air.

From this position, Zhichi can vaguely see the sky.

Apart from the tiny stars in the dark blue sky, there is also a round moon emitting a warm yellow light. It looks so far away, although it is much larger than usual, it still makes people feel lonely and deserted.

"So that's it. I said the moon seems to be brighter." Zhi Chi said, "But the full moon night happens every month, so why is today so special?"

"My father is not here, that's the difference." Zhu Biao said, "Although I have asked him for instructions, it should be more convenient when he is not around, lest you and it be affected by the dragon's energy."

"Who is it?" Zhichi asked curiously, "Boss, what are you doing? Do you have a new pet?"

Zhu Biao didn't answer, he took out a cube out of nowhere and held it in front of Zhichi.

Zhi Chi saw that this was the most commonly used jade seal in the Hall of Martial Arts, and said in surprise, "Boss, you stole things from Boss."

"This is borrowed." Zhu Biao was too lazy to argue with Zhichi, and explained, "I brought the jade seal here to name the folding fan."

The folding fan stuck in Zhu Biao's belt flew up and unfolded towards Zhichi. The ink on it turned into two words: fool.

"You say I'm a fool?" Zhichi was furious, "Who would know that you don't have a name yet! You should have been with the boss longer than me, right?"

The folding fan vibrated violently, the ink on the fan twisted for a while, quickly combined a few words back and forth, which seemed to be curse words, and finally returned to a blank space, suspended in the air trembling, close to Zhu Biao's arm in aggrieved way, in the sleeve Cats generally rub against each other.

Zhu Biao defended it: "The right time, place, and people are the best. We waited until the founding of the People's Republic of China to name it, so that we could have a jade seal to stamp it."

"The fan surface is made of silk given by Mr. Liu, the landscape calligraphy and painting is proposed by Mr. Song, the talisman is carved by me, the pendant beads are the eyes of Zhongshan's dragon veins, the bones are the branches of the thousand-year-old bamboo demon, and the rope is made by Queen Fengming herself. Weaving, the whole body of this fan is full of treasures, only one name is missing, it is perfect."

"What's it called?" Zhichi said, "It must be a good name to say it so well after procrastinating now?"

"fifteen."

"what?"

"It's called fifteen. The number fifteen."

Zhichi looked at the moon through the window again: "Because today is fifteen?"

Because the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty passed on to the country, a total of 270 years.Two, seven, six add up to fifteen. Zhu Biao wants to use this number to remind himself not to slack off, and to use this number to give the folding fan a better meaning.

However, there is no need for Zhifan and Zhichi to know about this relationship, because Zhu Biao acquiesced in the reason for the fifteenth date.

"It's not bad to be called Shiwu." Zhichi obviously didn't think the name was nice, and said with a strange yin and yang, "At least it's easy to remember."

The folding fan hit it hard, made a crisp ding sound, and spread the fan: I am very satisfied.

Seeing it, Zhichi did not dislike it, thinking that the aesthetics of the folding fan must have been subtly influenced by Zhu Biao. Although he felt sorry for it in his heart, he made a contemptuous expression on his face, and did not dare to accuse Zhu Biao of being perfunctory.

Gradually, the sun rises in the east, the full moon and the sun appear in the sky together, the yin and yang meet, the sun rises and the moon sets, the bright spots of fiery red and warm yellow flicker and become horizontal lines running through the dark blue sky, embellishing the world with gloomy splendor Phnom Penh.

A mighty bell rings, rising from the city wall and flying over the roofs of thousands of households. It seems that there are invisible ripples washing away the night that has not yet receded. The monsters who were imprisoned in the prison of the town demon division subconsciously shrank their bodies at this moment.

At sunrise, human nature flourishes, and only human beings are closest to the fate of heaven and earth.

Zhu Biao took Zhichi outside the hall: "Use your supernatural powers to absorb spiritual energy."

Zhichi nodded, clasped his hands together, crossed his legs, and began to exercise in a meditation posture.After a few breaths, the spiritual energy in front of the Fengtian Hall rushed like waves, pouring into the bowl like a real cloud, and the light in front of the white jade steps even danced because of this, the scene was extremely shocking.

At the same time, Zhu Biao cut the palm of his hand with his fingertips, and the blood scattered like beads, splashing out like fireworks, part of it drifted backward with the wind, and part of it was stored in the palm to form a small dark red patch.

The little golden dragon held the jade seal in his mouth and pressed it in his hand. After the tingling burning sensation passed, Zhu Biao raised his hand to signal the folding fan to come over, pressed a blood-red mark on the blank space of the fan, then picked up Zhi Chi, and put the bowl The aura of neutralizing liquid was splashed on it.

It took effect almost suddenly, like fire meeting oil, oil pouring into boiling water, the folding fan was bonded together with Daming's national destiny through the jade seal, and then Zhu Biao dipped in the remaining blood, wrote 15 in the void, and hooked up the fan surface The ink marks in the fan were cast into names in the air, and then slapped back into the fan.

A moment later, the golden light was generous, overshadowing the newborn tomorrow. Fifteen slowly fell into Zhu Biao's hands, and he was completely new. A red seal is left on the fan, except that everything else is white, full of a mysterious atmosphere.

Zhu Biao removed the cover-ups he had arranged, and returned to the room in the temple with bowls and leaves, waiting for them to come back to their senses.

Zhichi was only an auxiliary function, and was the first to wake up: "Looking at it this way, this small fan is not bad."

"Not long after I started practicing, Fifteen became my magic weapon." Zhu Biao said, "No accident, it will accompany me for a long time. You stay here for a while, and wait until you can master the enchantment of the Forbidden City proficiently." , I will move you to the Hall of Martial Heroes, there are many people there, and the emperor usually works there, so it is more lively."

"Don't, don't, don't." Zhichi stood up from the mat, waved his hands and said, "Boss is too scary, even if I am his bowl, I can't resist it casually, I should go to the Hall of Spring Harmony, right?"

"up to you."

Seeing that there was still no movement on the fifteenth day, Zhu Biao waited for a while, and planned to go back to catch up on sleep: "It is almost dawn, I will go back to the palace to rest, the playbook has not been approved yet, if you are too free, I will let Ju Fei come to you .”

"Forget it." Zhichi said disgustedly, "That cat eats and sleeps all day long, and it has become a ball in Kunning Palace. It doesn't pay attention to the cat's appearance at all, so I don't want to chat with it. .”

It babbled a few more words, talking about what was wrong with Liu Chubai, and how the little eunuch who was cleaning in Fengtian Palace didn't know how to handle it. In short, no one was good in its mouth.

Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "After you can completely control the enchantment, I don't care where you want to go."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Zhichi sighed, and continued to practice honestly, striving for the good pie.

Back at the Hall of Spring Harmony, Zhu Biao was just about to lie down when he suddenly heard a burst of rapid drumming, one after another, louder and louder, so rapid and intense that the whole palace city could hear it clearly, he stood up and shouted, "What's going on outside?"

Wei Zhongde stayed up all night just to wait for Zhu Biao to come back. He happened to be standing at the door at this time, so he hurriedly asked, and came back after a while and replied, "Master, it's Dengwen's drum. The people below said that it was Liu Ji and Master Liu who knocked." of."
