Chapter 256: The Sleepy Dragon also has a time to go to heaven

When Zhu Di saw Xia Xun, he couldn't help but wonder: "Yang Xu, why are you here?" ”

Xia Xun said: "The minister has finished investigating the illegal affairs of the officials of the palace, and he is about to return to Beijing." There are all of you here, and the ministers are humble and inconvenient to come forward to see, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness. Since His Royal Highness is also going back to Beijing, the ministers happen to go with him. ”

Xia Xun smiled lightly and said: "If you go with the prince, the minister will save the money for food and the store, and take advantage of the prince, the prince will not be surprised, right?" ”

Zhu Di was stunned in his heart, but he said with a straight face: "Is this king's advantage so easy to take advantage of, now that people regard me as a plague today, you Yang Xu are not an iron-clad King Kong, aren't afraid?" ”

Xia Xun said: "The minister just thinks that justice is in the hearts of the people, the prince is upright, self-love, and there is no wrongdoing. What is the current little predicament, as the saying goes: the tiger is not lying in the road, and the sleepy dragon also has a time to go to heaven. ”

Zhu Di, who was trapped in the shallows of the dragon and was being played by shrimp, heard this, and felt a burst of jīdàng in his heart, he pointed to Xia Xun, and sighed to Concubine Xu and his three sons: "This kind of person is a person of will!" ”

King Yan returned to Beijing, and this incident immediately caused a sensation in the entire Beijing Division, and the gentry and gentry of the Shishu were all talking about it.

In fact, the news that King Yan was going to come to Nanjing to worship Xiaoling had already caused a sensation in Beijing.

The return of King Yan to the Beijing Division was originally extremely confidential news, and only some central ministers in the court knew about it, but the strange thing was that the recital of the King of Yan was sent to Emperor Jianwen on the third day before the imperial case, and the news spread in the Beijing Division. There are even good gamblers who have opened an underground gambling table, betting on whether King Yan will really come to Nanjing, because the emperor's intention to cut the domain is already known to the world, and King Yan is the one that everyone knows that the emperor wants to get rid of the most, it is really unimaginable, he dares to come.

However, he actually came.

For a while, there were more people laughing like madmen on the streets of Nanjing, these were people who took the risk of betting on Yan Wang, and as a result, they became rich overnight.

……

The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is old. The sunrise river huā is red and the fire is victorious, and the chūn comes to the river water as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan?

Crossing the Yangtze River by boat, Zhu Di held the side of the boat, looking at the Yangtze River water going east, and had jīdàng in his heart. After crossing the Yangtze River and boarding Yanziji, Rao is Zhu Dijiu led the troops and horses, fought the border against the enemy, and practiced like an iron stone, and he was resolute and resolute, and he couldn't help but cry. This time he returned, his mood was different from any time, the last time he came, his father was still alive, and now, the sound and smile are like that, people have been sleeping in filial piety, what about themselves, but he is being bī by his nephew to a dead end, he has always been arrogant, he had to go to Jinling in person, bow his eyebrows, in order to prove his innocence. This time, he came with a mood of apprehension, humiliation, and grief.

Zhu Yunwen and his henchmen were also very surprised by Zhu Di's arrival, but Zhu Di came, this is an indisputable fact, Zhu Yunwen had to put aside all kinds of suspicions, and first sent someone to pick it up according to the rules.

Zhu Di is the emperor's uncle, and he is the longest among the royal clansmen, although Zhu Yunwen is a nephew, but he is the emperor, so he didn't have to greet him personally, so he sent Zhu Ying, the king of An, to lead the royal family to the riverside to greet him. Zhu Ying is just 16 years old this year, he is the twenty-second son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Hongwu was named King An in the twenty-fourth year, and now he has not yet become a vassal.

Zhu Ying took the royal family to welcome Yanziji, only to see this only in the young years to see a few faces, now only vaguely some impression of the king brother burly and sturdy, black hair and black beard, wide mouth, looking forward to, quite a kind of dragon and tiger might, awe spontaneously arises, hurriedly led the crowd to meet the front, after a bit of noise, then with the Yan Wang arm board, back to Beijing.

Along the way, the people have taken to the streets, a glimpse of the bold Yan King's demeanor, the street is shoulder to shoulder, lively, the scene is as lively as the Lantern Festival a few days ago. xiǎo Shang xiǎo sellers, xiǎomōxiǎomō, and the disciples who rubbed and rubbed the oil on the body of the eldest girl xiǎo daughter-in-law fù were also like fish in water, so uncomfortable.

"Don't chase the swallow, chase the swallow will fly high, fly high God! Don't chase the swallow, chase the swallow will fly high, fly high God! ”

In the crowd, a ragged Taoist priest clapped his hands and sang a nursery rhyme that he heard out of nowhere, chuckling and laughing. When Xia Xun heard this nursery rhyme, his body was shocked, and he immediately looked up and stared at the man. He knew this nursery rhyme, he knew it a long time ago, and this lyric has a place in those stories that describe the rebellion of King Yan. It is said that this is a nursery rhyme sung in the capital when King Yan was planning to rebel, to build momentum for himself, and it didn't take long for it to come true, Zhu Di really reversed.

This crazy man, really has such magical powers?

Xia Xun stared closely at the madman's actions, and was about to chase after the horse, to find out, but saw that the madman had been driven away by the messenger who patrolled the street to maintain order, he squeezed through the crowd with a grin, and when he passed by a young man, the boy stretched out his hand, holding two treasure bills between his fingers, and was held in the palm of the hand by the madman. This action was fast and secretive, but Xia Xun sat on the horse condescendingly, and he had already noticed the mad man, but he could see it clearly.

The madman giggled away, walked into the distance, and began to sing again. The young man who had just handed him the money raised his head slightly, looked at King Yan's guard of honor and smiled faintly, turned around and pushed away the onlookers-by. The young man in the green shirt was wearing a wide-brimmed hat, which was lowered to the eyebrows, so that people couldn't see the face clearly, but when he raised his head slightly, when he looked at the honor guard of King Yan, he was seen clearly by Xia Xun who was accompanying the team. This person is red and white-toothed, handsome and virgin, and it is actually Liu Yù Jue.

"I see!"

Xia Xun suddenly realized that Xiao Qianyue created rumors that King Yan was going to rebel in Beiping, and Yù Jue acted in Nanjing, and the two of them echoed each other in the south and north, and it turned out that this was all a trick made by Jinyiwei. King Yan has just returned to Beijing, if this ballad is listened to in the ears of those who have a heart, after a little analysis, you can understand the meaning, how can the emperor not kill the machine?

That's it, no wonder in those stories that swear that King Yan has been accumulating ambitions for a long time, on the one hand, it is said that King Yan pretended to be crazy and stupid to conceal his anti-intentions, how he made weapons in the palace, and bought some jī geese to cover up the sound when he built weapons, and on the other hand, he said that King Yan created public opinion in Nanjing and created the image that he would become the true son of heaven. It turned out that it was because Zhu Di refused to be the king and wanted the minister to die, which was too inconsistent with the orthodox values of Confucianism, and was stunned by those pen sticks to reverse black and white and maliciously misinterpreted.

Zhu Di, who was traveling in the same car with Anwang Zhu Ying, also heard the singing, and he didn't care at first, but he felt that this nursery rhyme was still elegant, not as vulgar as ordinary slang nursery rhymes, and there was quite a bit of artistic conception and philosophy, birds perched on the branches, foraged in the grass, and swam freely, but if people chase it, they will fly high, fly high......"

Zhu Dipin smacked, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "Don't chase the swallow, chase the swallow will fly high, fly high God!" What does this mean, is it just a nursery rhyme about birds foraging for food and people catching birds? I have just set foot in Beijing, and there are such songs on the streets, once they are used by people with intentions, the emperor will ......"

Zhu Di was stunned, and then looked at the crowd, the crazy Taoist had disappeared, and Zhu Di's palms were already sweating, but after a moment of panic, he quickly calmed down: "This time I returned to Beijing, it was a situation of nine deaths and a lifetime, and it was strange that those dog thieves didn't use their means." No matter what means you use, let you shoot and arrow, I Zhu Di has his own rules, just let the horse come! ”

Zhu Di thought about it, and a palpitating sneer slowly bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Brother Huang, the dynasty has already passed, we don't have time to see the driver today, so let's go to the east ear room to rest?"

According to the rules, Zhu Di must first talk to Emperor Jianwen about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and then he can talk about the relationship between his uncle and nephew, therefore, he should first enter the court as a vassal king, because today is past the early dynasty, although he also has his own mansion in Beijing, but he can't go back today, he has to go to Fengtian Mén outside the east straight mén to live temporarily, waiting for tomorrow morning to see the court to see the driver, and then get free.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "No, don't enter the imperial city first, let's take a walk in the city, I want to see Jinling, it's been many years." ”

King An was a little surprised, but he was a sixteen-year-old boy, how could he have any opinions, as soon as he heard this majestic-looking and majestic brother, who was like his father, and told him to look at it, he was a little afraid of his brother's command, and hurriedly agreed, and the honor guard walked around the inner city of Jinling and in the city of Nanjing.

This time, many citizens rushed to watch King Yan enter the city when they heard the news, and it was bustling and lively. When the most prosperous and lively urban areas have been walked all over and have circled around the imperial city for half a circle, Zhu Di suddenly ordered: "Go out from Chaoyang Mén, climb Zhongshan Mountain, and go to the filial piety mausoleum to sweep the tomb of the first emperor for my brother." ”

"Brother ...... Emperor"

King An didn't expect King Yan to make this decision suddenly, this trip was not in the emperor's instructions, so he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Huh?"

Zhu Di glanced at him coldly, Zhu Di's appearance is similar to Zhu Yuanzhang, originally that aspect of thick eyebrows, there is a kind of momentum of not being angry and self-imposing, he has been at the border for a long time, has been tempered, not only has a kind of imperial dignity, but also a kind of murderous aura of a hundred battles, King An is like a canary raised in a comfortable nest, how have you seen such a bearing, he glanced at him coldly, panicked, and hurriedly responded: "Ah! Okay, okay, let's go to Xiaoling. ”

Xia Xun followed King Yan's car for a while, thinking that King Yan should go to the imperial city to stay and wait for the drive, and was rushing back to Jinyi Wei Ya mén to surrender his life to Lord Luo, and suddenly saw that King Yan's guard of honor actually went to Chaoyang mén, and when he inquired, he was actually going to worship and sweep the mausoleum of the first emperor, Xia Xun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

His position is low, the last time Zhu Yuanzhang went to the funeral, he didn't have the opportunity to accompany him, thinking of the impressive old man, Xia Xun couldn't help but feel a trace of sentimentality in his heart: "King Yan wants to pay tribute to the mausoleum of the first emperor, why don't I also go and pay homage to this emperor who expelled the Tartars and restored my Han dynasty!" ”

As soon as Xia Xun lifted the reins of the horse, he also followed the honor guard of King Yan out of Chaoyang Mén and went to Zhongshan Xiaoling!
