82. Running for funeral
85_85279When I saw Zhu Di, he couldn't help but say that he was very haggard, because he was in a hurry day and night, and he looked dusty. Because of his filial piety, he wore a vegetarian robe, with a linen robe on the outside, and only a white ribbon tied his hair on his head, and he didn't even use the gold crown and jade crown he used before. Behind him, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui and other five hundred guards, they were also full of vegetarians, at a glance, a white expanse, the world knew that this was King Yan with his son to mourn, although they all knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had given an order, no one dared to stop him.
Zhu Di rushed to Jinling as much as he could, and he didn't look left and right, whether it was the person who found me or Sanbao. When Sanbao brought me to Zhu Di, Zhu Di was also quite surprised. "Where are you going?" Zhu Di asked with a frown.
"I'm just looking for the prince." I didn't care about any etiquette, so I said to Zhu Di, "I advise the prince to go back quickly!" Kyochu form shì is not good! ”
When Zhu Di heard what I said, he glanced at the princes around him, motioned for them to leave, and in an instant only the two of us were left, looked at me and asked, "The emperor said that the emperor left an edict and did not allow the kings to return to Beijing for funeral, but is it really true?" ”
"Hasn't this matter really spread to Beiping, and the prince still doesn't believe it?" I asked rhetorically.
Zhu Di breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his back, as if he was very late and suspicious, and sneered for a long time, "I always expected Yun Wei to do such a thing, but I didn't expect to underestimate him all the time." ”
I hurriedly turned to him, anxious to stomp my feet, "Don't you know what to taboo now?" Although the relationship between uncle and nephew is here, but after all, he became the emperor, and I advise the prince not to say such things in the future. Those who know say that your uncles and nephews are affectionate, and they don't care about these false courtesies, and those who don't know it are a great sin to despise the king! ”
Zhu Di squinted at me, "What, do you think Yun Wei is going to deal with me?" ”
I took a deep breath and was speechless for a long time, "Anyway, Jinling is a place of right and wrong now, so go back quickly." ”
Zhu Di looked up to the sky and laughed, "There is no reason in the world that the dead relatives don't even run to mourn, Yun Wei is the emperor, I don't think he will become so unbearable." ”
I became anxious all of a sudden, and when I heard his tone, it was clear that I was determined to go to Jingshi, so I said, "Then you have to think about Li Jinglong, the letter he gave you, in case the emperor blames you at that time, what about you, what about him?" ”
Zhu Di was stunned for a long time before he said, "I will never get involved with him." ”
Zhu Di's personality is absolutely the same, he plans to do this, it is impossible to change his mind with just a few words from me, and I am so anxious that I have to follow his team and return to Jinling.
When chatting with Sanbao on the road, Zhu Di of Sanbao Road was very sad when he learned the news of Zhu Yuanzhang's death, so no one stopped him. I looked at the back of Zhu Di on horseback in front of me, so tall and restrained. His relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang is very delicate, Zhu Yuanzhang likes him very much, but he would rather choose Zhu Yunwen and give him up as the prince, because the two of them are too similar. Leader's demeanor, popular popularity, bravery, and foresight, these Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament is inherited from Zhu Di. Zhu Yuanzhang not only relied on him, but also was a little afraid of him. Probably from his heart, even he himself is not suitable to be an emperor, he thinks that a benevolent person is suitable to be an emperor, and a ruthless person is suitable to guard the frontier. So he put Zhu Di in Beiping.
Although Zhu Di has grievances against his father, after all, filial piety comes first and he loves him very much. It's that Lichu abandoned himself twice and was still loyal to him, so it can be seen from his demeanor now that he is very sad. I don't dare to say whether he covets the throne or not, but I dare to pack the ticket, the saddest thing in his heart now is that he has lost his father, that's all.
When he arrived all the way to Huai'an, suddenly a team of soldiers and horses blocked the road, and there were no less than a thousand people, all fully armed, and sent a leader to talk to Zhu Di. Zhu Di looked at the man, a little surprised. And I was really surprised, that person was wearing a brocade robe, the pattern was a flying fish, and the waist was also equipped with an embroidered spring knife, this grade is the level of the commander!
The man arched his hand at Zhu Di and said, "Lord Yan, under the newly appointed commander of the Jinyi Guard, Song Zhong." On the order of the emperor, I came to persuade the prince that he did not need to go to Beijing for funeral. ”
As soon as these words came out, Sanbao and I looked at each other, and even Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, "Commander of Jinyi Guard?" Didn't the first emperor abolish the Jinyi Health Department after Hu Weiyong's case ended? ”
Song Zhong smiled, "The first emperor is the first emperor, the emperor is the emperor, the first emperor has tens of thousands of people under the brocade clothes and guards to do so many things for him, the emperor just imitates the first emperor." ”
Zhu Di let out a faint "oh", "No wonder, the emperor has given you so much power, so much so that now you are much tougher than Mao Xiang and Jiang Zhen in the past." ”
Song Zhong ate such a nail as Zhu Di that was neither soft nor hard, his face instantly looked ugly, and he retorted, he didn't have the courage yet, the new emperor was in power, after all, the foundation was unstable, and the Yan prince in front of him, even the new emperor had to be afraid of three points, let alone himself? If you don't refute it, you have said too much before, and you really don't have face. In just a few moments, the complexion on his face changed several times. "The prince's words simply annoyed Song Zhong. The lower officials are just doing things for the emperor. Even now here, it was also ordered by the emperor. ”
Zhu Di didn't answer, just squinted behind him, and nodded a little in the air with his hand, "Behind you, there are at least thousands of people and horses, why, in order to deal with the hundreds of family members who came to mourn this king, there is such a big deal?" It seems that the new Jinyi Health Department is very strong. ”
Song Zhong's face turned a little pale just now, and after listening to Zhu Di's words, he continued to be red again. I have never seen Zhu Di maneuver in the officialdom, but now that I see him so sharp, I watch this good show with relish. It's just that I'm always worried in my heart, how will this play end?
Song Zhong already understood at this time that this King Yan was worthy of his name, and he was just a newly appointed commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was calling for wind and rain in the capital, but why bother with this hero? That's making enemies for yourself. Then he changed his emphasis, and said respectfully, "The prince's words, cough cough, the lower officials understand the prince's filial piety, and the new emperor also understands, but the first emperor really made an edict, and said it clearly and clearly, the kings don't have to go to mourn, you rush back to Beijing like this, in case you disturb the rest of the first emperor, it's not good." The new emperor was probably also worried about this, so he called the lower officials to persuade the prince to go back. Great, this year's Zhongyuan, no matter how bad it is next year, the prince can come back to sweep the tomb, the first emperor is in the spirit of the sky, and he must know the filial piety of the prince. ”
Zhu Di's temples twitched a few times, and his eyes swept behind Song Zhong a few more times. Although he is strong, he is not reckless, although Song Zhong is polite now, but if Zhu Di really wants to forcibly enter Beijing, then these people behind him are a sharp weapon to stop Zhu Di. If it is forced at this time, it will be charged with violating the will of the first emperor and violating the holy decree of the new emperor.
'M afraid...... That's what Zhu Yunwen was waiting for, right? Zhu Di is only with 500 people, if he is captured here, then I am afraid that he will not be able to run for mourning, and he will not even be able to go back to Beiping.
"This king originally did not believe that the first emperor would make such a will, so he hurried to come, and the commander personally came to inform him, although this king was deeply sad, I don't know why the first emperor had such a will, after all, it cannot be violated. His old man said that the kings can't go to the funeral, so the king won't go, and the three sons of the king will follow you to the capital and give them a few pillars of incense to the emperor's grandfather. ”
At this time, Zhu Di wanted to let the three children enter Beijing, and I wanted to stop it, but seeing that the three sons had already ridden to Song Zhong's side, it was too late for me to shout. Don't sigh in your heart, history is history, and it will never change because of one person.
After Song Zhong took Zhu Gaochi and the others away, Zhu Di asked me if I was going back to Jinling, I shook my head and nodded, "Go back." ”
Zhu Di smiled bitterly, "I can't imagine that you have such a temper and can stay in Jinling for so long." ”
I was so worried that I couldn't tell him, but his three sons were already in the tiger's mouth, so I had to vaguely say, "I'm just used to it." ”
Seeing me like this, Zhu Di said, "That's it, you seem to be self-reliant now, and it seems so impatient to talk to me." Go back. ”
I glanced at him twice, and I really wanted to tell him that his war had begun, but after all, I still didn't say anything, "Lord, the princes are in the capital, don't worry." ”
Zhu Di looked at me a little puzzled, "They go to the capital, what do I have to worry about?" ”
I smiled, "The first emperor died, and you mourned." After speaking, he whipped the horse's ass fiercely, "Drive!" ”
After a long time, when I turned around, I could still see the white crowd in the distance, and they did not leave. With a sour feeling in his heart, he took a shortcut and returned to Huamanlou first. didn't have time to perfunctory Yueniang's words, so she rushed to Li Jinglong. As soon as he saw me, he said, "Sure enough, I heard that the prince is coming!" Why, did you persuade you to go back? ”
I sneered, "Where did I persuade you to go back?" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
I told Li Jinglong that the new Jinyi Guard's commander Song Zhong led thousands of men and horses to force Zhu Di back to Beiping, and when he heard it, his face was also pale, "The sons of the world are here?" ”
"Yes."
"The emperor shouldn't do anything to his cousins, right?" Li Jinglong asked tentatively, his tone clearly indicating that he was also worried.
"What do you say?" I said irritably, "We can all see the clues, why is a person like Wang Ye so confused at such a time?!"
Li Jinglong shook his head and said, "The new emperor's calculation is really good, first he threw out the edict to the princes. The princes came back to mourn because they disobeyed the edict and regarded it as unfilial, and the kings did not come back to mourn, which violated the norm and was still unfilial. The prince had no other way than to send the prince. ”。
