1. Orphans

85_85279 "I'm already out of control, what can I do to save him?" Zhu Di listened to my words and was a little surprised, "Besides, I am usually not very close to the King of Xiang, so if I go to provoke this body at this time, won't I make trouble for myself?" ”

I looked at Zhu Di, there have been so many things happening in front of me, I know that Zhu Di is also a frightened bird now, and he is asking for Mingzhe to protect himself. I also said that I didn't expect him to really do anything for King Xiang, but when I heard him say this, I was still extremely disappointed in my heart, so I got up and walked inside.

After sitting on the side of the bed for a long time, he suddenly felt that someone was holding his shoulder, and knowing that it was Zhu Di, he reached out and pushed his hand away. Zhu Di simply sat next to me, patiently moved me over, and said softly, "I really didn't expect you to come back to Beiping with me this time." ”

I was a little touched in my heart, turned to look at him, and my voice softened a lot, "Lord Wang, you know that our fate is not enough. ”

Zhu Di changed color slightly, "It's man-made." ”

I didn't know how to answer him again, so I had to turn my head again and stop talking, Zhu Di said softly, "I sent Sanbao to the Xiangwang Mansion to tell the Xiangwang that no matter what, how about my Yanwangfu being a backer for him?" ”

I nodded, and shook my head again, I didn't know what to do, the final ending of King Xiang was ** and died, which was very painful. Maybe someone will save him, and things will be reversed, no matter what, his old and young will always escape this tragic result. Seeing that I didn't answer, Zhu Di thought for a while, and finally said, "Okay, I'll go to Xiangnan in person." ”

I looked at him in disbelief, "You're going to go personally?" ”

Zhu Di smiled slightly, "I don't know when you had a friendship with King Xiang, but since you want me to save him, I can't stand idly by." "Zhu Di's attitude is obvious, his friendship with the king of Xiang has not yet reached the point of going against Zhu Yunwen for him, he decided to go to southern Hunan because of me. I don't know if I was right to ask Zhu Di like this, but I think if he knows about the Xiangwang Mansion in the future** and he has done nothing, I'm afraid he will regret it. On the cusp of such a storm, I was actually very worried about his situation, and I was very worried about making such a request to him, and finally I decided to go to Shonan with him. Before leaving, Zhu Di began to call himself sick.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen had already sent Zhang Yu as the political envoy of Beiping, and he was on his way to take office. Fortunately, Zhang Yu is a new official and wants to bring his family to come with him, and there is some delay on the way, but Zhu Di and I are different, the two of them are always light and can act quickly. In order not to reveal his whereabouts, he specially kept Ma San in Beiping and contacted a qiē official to the outside world. Everyone knows that Zhu Di has to take the three guarantees with him wherever he goes, and seeing the three guarantees is the same as seeing Zhu Di, so that it can be delayed for some time.

We traveled all the way south, except for eating and sleeping, there was no delay at all, and it didn't take much time to arrive in Xiangnan, and when we arrived at the Xiangwang Mansion, fortunately, the officials sent by the imperial court to buy the Xiangwang had not yet arrived. In order to hide people's eyes, we entered the house in the middle of the night and only saw the king of Xiang. When King Xiang saw Zhu Di, he was also very surprised, this vassal king Zhu Bai, who usually didn't have much contact with Zhu Di, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Di's hand, "Fourth brother! ”

Zhu Di also said lightly, "Twelfth brother." ”

Zhu Bai's eyebrows were full of sorrow, "Fourth brother, why did you come to me at this time?" ”

Zhu Di smiled slightly, "The new emperor has ascended the throne, the court has now undergone earth-shaking changes, the acting king Zhou Wang has been demoted to a concubine, and now you have been convicted, I can't help but feel a little cold, I don't want to see my brothers being punished one by one, I want to see if there is a reversal." Zhu Bai listened to Zhu Di's straightforward words, and no longer concealed it, and said a little angrily, "Printing money privately, I really didn't expect that the new emperor would charge me with this crime, and now it is our brother, I said, who is the person who prints money the most?" How many silver tickets has he printed since he came to power? The people below complained bitterly, and the money houses in the states and counties were also a last resort, so they had to follow the printing of money, and he just took me out to do it, isn't it a crime to add to it, why is there no excuse? ”

Zhu Bai was dissatisfied with Zhu Yunwen's punishment of him, and he refused to admit his identity as the emperor, and he didn't even want to shout as an emperor, only shouting the new emperor again and again, Zhu Di said, "Even if we are uncles, after all, he is the emperor, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and the twelfth brother should pay attention when he speaks." ”

Zhu Bai's expression was down, "What's the use of us respecting him anymore?" The eradication is still not merciless. Even the beggar on the side of the road knows that he wants to save all of us, does the fourth brother have any ideas? ”

Listening to Zhu Bai's words, Zhu Di also fell silent. I was anxious, "Does Lord Xiang have any ideas?" The emperor gave you a small punishment, but it was just a matter of moving to other places, and it would not be long before the princes would be released. It's always a family, and it's not too heartless. ”

Zhu Bai didn't listen to me, and after listening to it, he became even more red-faced, "Migrate? What kind of life is the king of Zhou living now? For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, when our brothers spilled blood on the battlefield, where was that kid? Benevolence and love for the people haven't been learned, have you already learned Li Shimin to kill his brother and father? ”

When he came out of Zhu Bai's study, Zhu Di had a solemn face and said to me, "The twelfth brother didn't have any communication with you, and you didn't recognize him?" ”

"I didn't say we knew it." I was full of worries, and I didn't pay attention to Zhu Di's tone, and looked at the moon in a daze while answering him. Zhu Di didn't reply to me for a long time, and when I reacted and looked at him, his face was full of a look that I couldn't understand, "When King Zhou had an accident, you didn't say anything, but now that King Xiang is going to have an accident, you are so nervous, is his result very bad?" ”

When Zhu Di asked me this, I realized that he began to doubt me again. Zhu Di is very smart, he has long doubted that I can guess the future, and now if something happens to Zhu Bai, he will have to confirm my ability, and I can't think of any words to refute him for a while, so I have to reluctantly laugh and say, "Where is it, it's just that the vassal kings have ended up like this one by one, I don't want you to follow like this." ”

Zhu Di listened to my words, as if he was slightly touched, "Really? ”

"Of course."

Zhu Bai knew that Zhu Di had ventured to find him without telling the world, and he was also very grateful in his heart, so he quietly arranged a very remote place for us to settle down.

On the second day, Princess Xiang came to Zhu Di, this is a very gentle woman, maybe she is so simple on weekdays, or now that King Xiang has been convicted, she doesn't dare to dress up too flamboyantly, Princess Xiang is only wearing a plain dress, and she only has an ordinary bun on her head, and her face is not even fat. It is said that when a woman comes to see her uncle, there is no reason to do it privately, not to mention that they are all members of the royal family, and they will not be so plain, but Princess Xiang is so coarse and linen without powder.

Moreover, as soon as Princess Xiang saw Zhu Di, she made a big bow to her, and even when I saw Zhu Di on weekdays, it was just a blessing, as soon as I saw Princess Xiang like this, Zhu Di and I rushed forward to help her. When she stood up, she was already in tears, so I hurriedly handed her a handkerchief and persuaded, "Princess Niangniang, why are you doing this?" ”

Princess Xiang wiped her tears and said to Zhu Di very humbly, "It is said that the concubine should not be so ignorant of etiquette and come to see her uncle alone, but at this point, the concubine can't care about any face." She said, her face was full of tears, "The fifth brother and the thirteenth brother were relegated to southern Yunnan, and the other was relegated to Bashu, from the high vassal king to the common people all of a sudden, although life is in the world, ups and downs are inevitable, but now the country and the people are safe, the wind and rain are smooth, and it is not as good as the first emperor to fight the country, why do we have to suffer so much?" The concubine is just a woman's family, and she doesn't understand the big truth, if she has the opportunity, she just wants to ask the emperor today, is she not afraid of the world's criticism for such a big joke? ”

This Hunan princess was born with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, weak and boneless, and now she is crying so much that she is crying with pear blossoms and rain, coupled with telling the story, even when I look at it, I feel sad! Zhu Di has always been in contact with her husband, and she rarely talks to women, so she is also solemn at this time, listening to her quietly. After all, Princess Xiang is a woman with a very literate connotation, even if she is sad and unbearable, she just tears silently, and she doesn't want to be too out of shape in front of us, she keeps wiping her tears, and then she continued, "Fourth brother, the concubine came to see you alone today, and I have a small request, and I hope you agree." As she spoke, she took advantage of our unpreparedness and threw herself on her knees. Zhu Di frowned and said, "It's all a family, what do my brothers and sisters have to say, this king will never stand idly by if he can help, you don't have to see the outside like this, get up quickly!" ”

I supported her with all my might, but she was very resolute, "Fourth brother, don't say this first, and only get up after agreeing to the concubine." ”

I glanced at Zhu Di, she said this, there must be something very important, Zhu Di had to say, "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

Princess Xiang stood up at this time, "In ancient times, the Zhao family entrusted the orphan, that is still to entrust the child to an outsider, and let the child bear the heavy responsibility of recovering the country, the concubine has only one wish today, I have been married to the prince for many years, and there are no extra children, only a woman, the parents are in trouble, and it is said that the children will not end well, but now the uncle is here, my mother's mind is always a little active, and I want to entrust the only daughter under my knee to the uncle, and I don't ask her to do much, as long as she is safe." ”

Zhu Di listened to Princess Xiang's words, and was just sad, but I listened to it, but I felt frightened, it seems that the couple is ready to never obey their fate, but they feel sorry for the young girl and have no support
