4. Entering the palace

85_85279 I pretended to be one of Zhu Di's guards and followed him into the palace. Zhu Di entered the palace this time, and Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was completely different, from humble to very arrogant, I was a little puzzled, but in the forbidden place of the deep palace, he walked in front, and a few eunuchs accompanying him talked and laughed all the way, I couldn't stick to the front at all, and I couldn't ask him why he had such an attitude.

A eunuch in charge of the head is called Wei Wuyan, who is in his forties, and his behavior has nothing to do with his name, and it is rare to meet a vassal king who looks down on him, and he talks a lot. What Zhu Yunwen was diligent in government every day after he ascended the throne, what Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, the two ministers, often discussed the country with the emperor, and what emperor admired the Taishi Fang Xiaoru to the extreme, Balabala said it right. Zhu Di was also patient, listening all the way and nodding all the way.

Another little eunuch suddenly said, "Father-in-law Wei ......"

That Wei Wuyan was talking happily with Zhu Di, and was very impatient with the little eunuch's interruption, frowning and scolding, "What's the matter! Didn't you see the miscellaneous family talking to the prince? Mess with stuff and watch your tongue out! ”

Before the little eunuch could speak, he had been scolded by Wei Wuyan to the point that his face was bloodless, and he immediately knelt down on the ground, "Father-in-law spares his life, father-in-law spares his life!" The slave maid wants to remind the prince, the prince, you accidentally stepped on the imperial road, that road can only be walked by the emperor, and the courtiers can only take the side of the courtier's road......"

When Wei Wuyan heard this, he looked at Zhu Di's feet, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said to a few little eunuchs beside him, "Don't go out and talk nonsense!" The prince was just talking to the miscellaneous family, and he forgot to look at the road under his feet for a while, and accidentally went astray. As he spoke, he turned his body to Zhu Di's side, half-arched, and said cautiously, "Lord Wang, you have gone a little off, move this way a little." ”

Zhu Di casually looked at the ground and said with a smile, "This king has been in the wilderness of Beiping for a long time, but it is not as good as you who understand the rules in the palace all year round, and you will even go wrong, thank you for reminding." As he spoke, he took a few more steps on the imperial road before walking back to the courtier's road.

I frowned, I didn't know what kind of fame he was doing, so I could only follow him not far away, until I reached the main hall where Zhu Yunwen was, Zhu Di slightly tidied up his clothes, walked to the inner hall, and I stood outside the hall with the eunuchs. The hall is tall and majestic, several huge pillars support the ceiling of this palace, the pillar is carved with the pattern of the nine dragons ascending to heaven, stretching to the top of the palace, the top is the auspicious appearance of auspicious clouds and double dragons playing with pearls, the high throne is no longer the old Zhu Yuanzhang, but replaced by the young and immature Zhu Yunwen. There were several courtiers standing next to him, and the one closest to the temple gate was Qi Tai. A few people inside can't see clearly, it's probably Huang Zicheng's filial piety.

Zhu Di slowly entered the hall, until the throne, and then made a bow to meet the new emperor, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly shouted to him, "Flat, flat, give the seat." ”

Zhu Di sat on the chair on the side, and Qi Tai's ministers turned to Zhu Di and gave a simple salute. Zhu Di nodded slightly. Zhu Yunwen said in a loud voice, "After saying goodbye to Uncle Huang for a long time, are you okay?" ”

Zhu Di stood up and replied as a respectful expression, "Back to the emperor, Weichen is fine, but the emperor died that day, and he didn't have to personally guard the spirit and treat the funeral, so I really didn't want to go." ”

Zhu Yunwen paused slightly, and said after a long time, "Uncle Huang doesn't have to mind, this is the will of the emperor's grandfather, his old man still only remembers Jiangshan Sheji when he is dying, for fear that after the imperial uncles enter Beijing for funeral, the domain will be attacked by thieves, so he instructed the funeral to be simple, not extravagant, and not to mess up the society for him." ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Oh, it turns out that my father is afraid that the emperor will miss the domain and let the thieves take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack, although the emperor is newly enthroned, he is very aware of the righteousness, and he will do everything according to his old man's will, if his old man has a spirit in the sky, he must be very pleased." ”

Zhu Yunwen was a little satisfied, and Qi Tai hurriedly said, "What the prince said is that our current emperor is the most thoughtful saint in history. ”

Zhu Di smiled at Qi Tai, "Yes." However, Weichen has something to ask the Pope. ”

Zhu Yunwen was being held to the clouds by the following people, with a smile on his face, "Uncle Huang and I are close relatives, why don't you ask for advice, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"I heard that the emperor has cured the sins of several vassal kings in a row in the past few months, and brought them back to the court to punish the crimes, but I don't know who is guarding those vacant domains now?" Although Zhu Di asked Zhu Yunwen, he was probably afraid that looking directly at him would greatly make him unable to get down, so he squinted at Qi Tai and them.

Zhu Yunwen was already speechless, and only after a while did he say, "I have already sent the corresponding people to garrison, and I will pick out the right people in the future." ”

Zhu Di stopped talking, and several other ministers naturally didn't dare to say more, but Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "Uncle Huang has been running around for many days, hurry back to the mansion to rest, enter the palace tomorrow, let's hold a family banquet, and talk about it." ”

Zhu Di got up and arched his hand, "Obey." ”

He withdrew from the hall alone, and when he walked to my side, Wei Wuyan naturally followed suit, and after walking about a hundred and ten zhang road, Zhu Di said, "Father-in-law, go back, the emperor still has to wait." ”

Wei Wuyan smiled dryly, "Don't get in the way, the miscellaneous family has already sent several capable little eunuchs to watch, and there won't be any chaos." ”

Zhu Di glanced at me slightly, I took out a gold ingot from my sleeve and handed it to Wei Wuyan, he didn't have any intention, when he looked at the bright and dangling large gold ingot in my hand, his eyes were also a little confused, and he said with a smile, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." But there was no such refusal in his hands. I took advantage of this situation and had already sent the gold to him, and said with a smile, "Grandpa Wei is so cautious, what is there to dare to do with this little caution of the prince." ”

Wei Wuyan heard me say this, looked around, and saw that there was no one, so he put the gold in his sleeve and said with a serious face, "Since the prince is raising the miscellaneous family like this, the miscellaneous family is not a person who does not know how to lift, what is there to use me Wei Wuyan in the future Although he said, as long as he does not lose his reason, Wei Wuyan will definitely repay the prince for this kindness." ”

I smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder, "You are very sensible, the prince praised you when he was in Beiping." ”

Zhu Di glanced at me, with an unpredictable smile, as if praising me for speaking. Wei Wuyan also thanked him three times and thanked him four times, and slowly retreated.

When Zhu Di and I returned to the palace, I couldn't help but ask him why he was cautious even in Beiping on weekdays for fear of being criticized, but when he arrived in the capital, he was so careless. Zhu Di smiled, "You don't understand the power here." In the past, I was cautious, just because I was afraid that the emperor would have a bad heart and suspect that I had a bad heart, but now it seems that even with twelve points of caution, this bad heart has long been made up in his heart. Even if I pay attention to my words and deeds, I will be interpreted as a deep city and a cunning man. ”

"Oh~~ So when the prince arrived at the palace today, he made a look of evil and crazy and bohemian, so as to paralyze them, right?"

Zhu Di smiled, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke my head, "You are still smart, but this is a desperate move, and you must not make this decision unless you have to." ”

I only felt that an electric current was transmitted from his hand to my scalp, and gradually surged up to my face, burning into two red clouds, and I was a little embarrassed in my heart, so I turned around and poured tea under the pretext that Zhu Di had already sat down. I poured him a cup of tea, and was halfway through it, when a little eunuch came in a hurry. This eunuch was wearing civilian clothes, and it was when he entered the palace today, except for the little eunuch who pointed out that Zhu Di had taken the wrong path.

He was wearing plain clothes, so he knew that the child came without telling other people's ears and eyes, and Zhu Di knew that something was wrong, so he let him go inside and asked him what was the matter. This little eunuch claimed to be Xiao Du, but Wei Wuyan's apprentice, saying that his master asked him to pass the word, saying that after Zhu Di withdrew from the court, Zhuo Jing, a household servant, arrived, saying that he saw Zhu Di "enter the emperor's road and ascend to His Majesty without worshipping." This remark caused dissatisfaction among several ministers present, who said that King Yan was too arrogant and obviously did not take the emperor in his eyes.

When I hear this, sweat rains down! This is only the first day of entering Beijing, why did Zhu Di poke down such a big basket, if so, wouldn't we be detained immediately, and even have no freedom, let alone return to Beiping, how to talk about leaving the place of death and resurrection?

I looked at Zhu Di, but I didn't expect him to drink tea leisurely, and took out his Chaozhu without care, twisting it carelessly, I was so anxious that I wanted to stomp my feet, he obviously saw my expression, but pretended not to see it, and asked Xiao Du, "What did the emperor say?" ”

Xiao Du just talked about the thrill, and he was also nervous, and now Zhu Di opened his mouth to ask him, he soothed his expression a little, and said, "The emperor said that King Yan and I are close relatives, and occasionally making mistakes is unintentional, and now there is no evidence of any crime, so I will arrest people in the capital, not to mention that the Yan Wangfu is not convinced, even if the people of the world hear it, they will not accept it." ”

After listening to Xiao Du's words, I put back a heart that was about to jump to my throat, and then looked at Zhu Di, he was already looking at me with a playful smile on his face, as if to say, "How about it, I said it's okay, it's okay, right?" ”

However, I was still not lightly surprised, and asked Xiao Du, "Does your master have anything else to explain?" ”

Xiao Du smiled shyly, "Master said that this was what he heard when he went in to serve tea, because when he heard the name of King Yan, he became extra careful and almost knocked over the emperor's teacup, which caused a lot of guilt." ”

This time, I didn't ask Zhu Di to make a look, and hurriedly took out two more pieces of gold and handed them to Xiao Du, "Ouch, Gonggong Wei is really the prince's best friend, please trouble this little father-in-law to go back and thank him for our prince." ”

That Xiao Du hurriedly retracted his hand, and said with a flushed face, "My master has ordered, saying that you must not accept the prince's reward again." ”

I shook two pieces of gold in front of him, "You are foolish! We naturally understand your master's intentions, but your master is taking such a big risk, in case one day he really knocks over the teacup, gets punished by the emperor, and gets his ass smashed, don't you want money to buy some supplements? Don't tell your master about this when you go back, he will laugh at the prince for being stingy. ”

Xiao Du was the same as Wei Wuyan, but he was just pretending to excuse himself, and after listening to me say so many kind words, where could he refuse again, so he went back with the gold.

I sent Xiao Du out, and then hurriedly returned to the house, and asked excitedly, "Lord Wang, how do you know that the emperor will not blame you?" ”

The corners of Zhu Di's eyes flew lightly, "Yun Wei has been such a person since he was a child. The more people tease him in front of him, the more he has to pay attention to moral and family affection, but he is the queen of people, this little thing is ruthless. ”

"So the more the prince has to do these arrogant looks in front of people, causing the ministers to be dissatisfied, the emperor has to protect his shortcomings and carry it for the prince?"

"That's exactly what happened."

I looked at Zhu Di and suddenly understood why in the future competition, he was able to start with 500 families and defeat Zhu Yunwen, who controlled the power of life and death in the country and had a million-strong army. Scheming and courageous, where can such a person suffer defeat?

Because there are only a few family members left in the Yan Wang's mansion, because after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he was afraid that people would say that Yan Wang was extravagant, and there were few of those family members who were also dismissed, leaving only two guards and a few old mothers.

Because Zhu Di came back, the two old mothers cleaned up the upper room and a side room, and let us each occupy one. Zhu Di was a little tired because he had been in the palace all day today, and he was going to enter the palace for a banquet tomorrow, so I advised him to rest early. I couldn't sleep.

Zhu Di is frightened every step in the palace, and I can't think of any way to help him. No matter how weak Zhu Yunwen is, after all, he is a decent emperor, and as long as he gives an order, he can eliminate all those who oppose him. Zhu Di, Zhu Di...... I only know how he will end in the future, but I never know how many hardships and dangers he will encounter on the way to the end
