Xu Miaoyi was like a landlord bully robbing a woman from a good family, chasing and intercepting her cousin, and Zhu Di was jealous, but Zhu Shouqian ignored her, Xu Miaoyi invited her second brother Xu Zengshou to go out of the mountain and lure Zhu Shouqian out.

Xu Zengshou said: "Okay, but there is one condition, Laba will go home this year, and it is not allowed to delay it any longer." ”

Xu Miaoyi nodded in agreement.

Xu Zengshou set up a banquet to make the east, and invited Zhu Shouqian to step on the snow to enjoy the plums, Zhu Shouqian was invited to go, and found that there was only one person in the plum forest that he wanted to see the most and the least wanted to see.

Zhu Shouqian turned his head and left, Xu Miaoyi shouted loudly: "Xiaoba has already told me, what a bastard, and he will harm people before leaving." ”

Zhu Shouqian said without looking back: "Don't believe a word of what he said." ”

Xu Miaoyi chased after him and pulled his arm, "I know all the grievances of my uncle-in-law back then." At that time, my grandfather, uncle-in-law, and my father were extremely powerful in the army, which made the emperor suspicious, and people with ill intentions added fuel to the trouble, so there was an unjust case of my uncle-in-law and grandfather. It's just cousin, ending up together is the worst ending, you don't have to go your own way. ”

Zhu Shouqian sneered: "Oh, is it? Before the person got married, he began to curry favor with his future father-in-law, and the emperor repaid virtue with resentment and killed my parents, as a son of man, how could he turn a blind eye. ”

"Anyway, it's not your parents who died, so you won't be sad. Your father is the first hero of the founding of the country, and this wealth is enough to enjoy for a lifetime. ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "I know that you are afraid of affecting me, so you deliberately pushed me away." But I'll never let go, never! ”

Damn Hachi! He's a scourge! It's not enough to hurt me, it's to hurt my cousin!

Zhu Shouqian punched the plum tree beside him angrily, "Why are you still as willful as you were when you were a child?" In front of me is a cliff that must be jumped, how long can you hold on? I'll drag you off the cliff together! If you die, the Xie family will really break their bloodline! ”

The plum branches trembled, and the fine snow with the fragrance of plum blossoms fell.

Xu Miaoyi said word by word: "If you die, I die; You live, I live. ”

Zhu Shouqian touched Xu Miaoyi's head, "It's still so naïve." You are different from me, I am alone, you have a father, you have brothers and sisters, and soon there will be King Yan - I hope he will always be in love with you, don't just want to be fresh. You live well, taste the food of the world for me, see the beautiful scenery of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and walk through the joys and sorrows of life, I can see it underground. Really, sometimes, I can feel my parents looking at me. ”

Xu Miaoyi slapped a painless fist into his chest, "If your uncle and aunt really have a spirit in the sky, they will definitely persuade you to stop!" They exchanged death for the mercy of the royal family and spared your life, not to see you die one day! Emperor Hongwu is already old, you are not yet twenty years old, you can survive him. ”

Zhu Shouqian said: "But in the past ten years, my mental strength has almost been boiled dry, the world is like purgatory with me, death is not the end, it is liberation." ”

Xu Miaoyi shook her head violently, "No, the real enemy has not been eliminated, even if you die together, you will not be freed." The death of the uncle and aunt, in the final analysis, was fueled by the mastermind behind the grandfather's rebellion, which made the emperor jealous of the three sons-in-law, the two are closely related, the first evil has not been eliminated, are you willing to die? ”

Zhu Shouqian said loudly: "What if you are unwilling? In this capital, I am a useless waste county king, just a little more freedom than Beiyuan Proton Xiaoba, you were born and died to investigate your grandfather's unjust case, I can't help at all. ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "Who said you can't help? If it weren't for you, I would still be in prison. ”

Zhu Shouqian said: "Don't comfort me, even if I don't make a move, Wei Guogong, King Yan, they will fish you out sooner or later." Cousin, you have your way, I have my own, it's time to part ways. ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "I don't! I won't let go of death! ”

Zhu Shouqian sighed: "The eldest lady of the party, the future princess Yan, how can she learn the way of crying, making trouble and hanging herself in the market." Cousin, I've made up my mind. ”

Xu Miaoyi had to resort to the last trick, "Cousin, don't hide it, I'm about to find the mastermind behind the scenes, you don't have to act rashly, only by killing the first evil can you avenge your aunt and grandfather's family." ”

Zhu Shouqian smiled bitterly: "Don't treat me as a child, if you really know, you will tell me first when we meet today." ”

Xu Miaoyi looked at her cousin fixedly, her eyes were extremely sincere, "It's only one step away, it's really only one step away, you wait for three months, don't think about dying together within three months, I'll give you the answer." ”

"Cousin, it's been ten years, not bad for three months."

Zhu Shouqian was silent for a moment, and then asked, "How can you be sure that you will find out the first evil within three months?" ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "There are many things I can't explain to you in detail, you just need to know that I will definitely not disappoint you." ”

Zhu Shouqian was silent for a long time and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you for three months." ”

Xu Miaoyi was overjoyed, "Cousin, don't break your word, don't act rashly in the past three months." ”

Zhu Shouqian nodded, "Okay, we will pretend to be a big quarrel about King Yan's marriage later, you cry and run away, and complain to Xu Zengshou, so that everyone thinks that our cousins have broken up." The farther away from me, the safer you will be......"

Temporarily calmed her cousin, Xu Miaoyi's face was happy, and a pressure came like Mount Tai, overwhelming, but she didn't have to carry it to death. Xu Miaoyi shouted in her heart: Three months! Where do I go to find the first evil? But if he didn't coax his cousin, he would immediately be crushed.

But the only way out is to fulfill the promise, if you don't try, how do you know if you can't do it? Xu Miaoyi got the files of Zhu Wenzheng and Xie Zaixing's two rebellion cases copied from Zhu Di, as well as the small notes of her visits over the years, various confessions, evidence, characters, etc. were piled up in the study, and there were even various bizarre and weird paintings of Miss Luan who committed suicide by jumping off the tower on the wall.

She was in retreat, barely sleepless, pale as paper, staggering as she walked, and her mouth was full of words, like a madman immersed in a world of imagination.

Zhu Di pushed the door and entered, and found that the floor of the study was covered with various maps, inextricable maps of people and events, a number of kneaded paper balls, and even half of the cold steamed buns, and there was no place to settle at all, and Xu Miaoyi was opening the window and grabbed two balls of snow from the windowsill to wash her face to forcibly wake up her tired body.

For Xu Miaoyi's hard work, Zhu Di admires it very much, and he is also very distressed. But there were things that were imminent, and he knew it was worse for her, and he had to tell her.

"Miaoyi, close the window, I have something important to tell you." Zhu Di closed the door, as if walking in a maze, avoiding the paper and paper balls under his feet, and by the way, picked up half of the cold steamed buns on the ground and threw them into the wastepaper basket.

Looking at Zhu Di's solemn expression, Xu Miaoyi intuitively felt that something big had happened, and the first thought in her heart was: Is my cousin arrested for rebellion?

Zhu Di said: "Last month, you entrusted me to pay attention to Zhu Shouqian's movements, he prefers to be quiet, except for entering the palace to ask the emperor and queen for peace, he rarely interacts with other clans, and basically closes his door in the Jingjiang Palace on weekdays. To find out what he did in secret, you have to start with the people around him. ”

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyi breathed a sigh of relief: It shouldn't have happened.

However, Zhu Di's next words made Xu Miaoyi's heart almost burst out of her throat!

"Zhu Shouqian is careful and careful, the person he trusts the most should be his father's old department, I focused on these people and found ...... Zhu Di paused and said, "I suspect that Zhu Shouqian is secretly hiding firearms......

Zhu Wenzheng has an old department used to be in the Shenji Battalion, after Zhu Wenzheng conspired against the case, the old department was demoted from the elite Shenji Battalion to the baggage battalion to take care of the warehouse, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu has always attached importance to firearms, established a gunpowder factory, specializing in the production of various guns and gunpowder, this old department was selected into the gunpowder factory, because of the proficient in gunpowder, has been prosperous.

Last year, several warehouses of the gunpowder factory caught fire and exploded, causing heavy losses, and this person was reduced to a civilian position, and he bought a grange on the outskirts of the capital as a farmer, and the melons, fruits, vegetables, and vegetables of the Jingjiang Wangfu were all supplied by this grange.

Zhu Di said: "My henchmen found out that this old ministry had bought sulfur saltpeter on the black market, which is the most important thing for gunpowder, and there must be something else in his grange cellar. ”

Xu Miaoyi was weak and said, "This ...... This doesn't mean that my cousin has a firearm. ”

Zhu Di asked: "But if this matter is found out by Jinyi Wei and reported to his father, what do you think will be the result?" I now think that there were strange things about the explosion of the gunpowder factory back then, maybe the old department stole firearms and set fire to destroy the evidence, these firearms were in Zhu Shouqian's hands, in case he killed the monarch and rebelled in the future. ”

Xu Miaoyi grabbed Zhu Di's hand, "Don't, don't tell the emperor, my cousin won't do this." ”

Xu Miaoyi's palms were full of cold sweat, Zhu Di's heart was as thin as hair, and asked, "Actually, you have long had a premonition that Zhu Shouqian was going to kill the monarch and rebel, right?" Otherwise, how could she panic, and her hands would have been fished out of the water.

This incident is revenge for Xu Miaoyi and Zhu Shouqian, but for Zhu Di, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, it is a rebellious rebellion.

This is the widest gap between Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyi, Emperor Hongwu is indeed partial to the prince, but for Zhu Di, he will always be his father

Kiss. He felt that his father was not fair enough and was very disappointed in his father, but he would never allow Zhu Shouqian to hurt his father.

Zhu Di's eyes were like torches, and he couldn't hide it from him at all, Xu Miaoyi had to acquiesce and intercede for her cousin, "It's all Huang Yan's poisonous plan, and he has to pull a cushion when he dies." He sent the evidence that the emperor framed Zhu Wenzheng to my cousin, and my cousin - but he has stopped, he has promised me, really, you have to believe me. Please, please don't speak out. ”

Zhu Di was very shocked, and subconsciously defended his father, "There is no proof of death, the so-called evidence is true or false is not yet known, Zhu Shouqian dares to kill the monarch and rebel, without considering the consequences, and does not care whether it will affect you, he is really innocent!" ”

Xu Miaoyi defended her cousin: "You found out that my uncle's old department bought sulfur saltpeter on the black market, so you are sure that my cousin secretly possessed firearms and rebelled, and confronted him?" Have the three sessions been tried? What if the old ministry is secretly serving someone else? But one of your thoughts is that there is something wrong with your cousin. In fact, I don't need to ask for the truth or falsehood of the evidence to my cousin, to you, or to the emperor, this kind of doubt and distrust is like the last straw on the camel, whether it is true or not, you will only see the side you want to see, and then draw your sword mercilessly. You say my cousin deserves to die, but who forced him to be like this? ”

Zhu Di asked: "Zhu Shouqian hates my father, even you hate my father?" ”

Xu Miaoyi's eyes were full of tears, and she nodded with difficulty and told the truth, "Hate." ”

Zhu Di asked, "Do you love me?" ”

Crystal tears were like rolling balls, one by one smashed on the back of Zhu Di's hand, bursting out of salty tears, "Love, I love you." 166 Reading Network
