Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui returned to Beijing and sent the accompanying guards back to the palace in the capital, and the two only took the two lieutenants into the palace to face the saint.

The two brothers were worried, their faces were full of dust, and they did not change their court clothes, and entered Fengtianmen in civilian clothes. Jin Wuwei, who was on duty, wanted to stop him and almost got whipped.

"Get out of the way!"

Yang Duo led a team of brocade guards to arrive, and when he saw Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui with horizontal eyebrows, he clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "I've seen Your Highness." There was no edict in the palace, and His Royal Highness was asked to show the gold seal waist card. ”

Yang Duo is to relieve the siege of Jin Wuwei, and he is also reminding Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui in disguise that the six departments will take turns to follow the door in the matter, and they should not be truthful.

Since the king of Gu was deposed, the Duke of Cao Guo was taken away, and the king of Ping was renamed the southwest, there began to be an undercurrent in the capital.

At this moment, the King of Han and the King of Zhao were ordered by the emperor to return to Beijing, and they couldn't let people grasp the handle.

"Commander Yang said this very much." Zhu Gaoxu untied his waist card and took out a yellow-silk, "The gold seal is inconvenient to carry, and there is a holy decree." ”

Yang Duo clenched his fists again, turned to Jin Wuwei on duty, and whispered a few words, and Jin Wuwei immediately let him go.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui didn't care about anything else, turned over and dismounted, took a big stride, couldn't wait to have their wings on their ribs, and rushed to Kunning Palace as quickly as possible.

Empress Xu was seriously ill, and it was a big stone pressing on the hearts of the two, which was heavy and could not be moved.

Although it is said that Empress Xu is no longer in serious trouble, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are still black on the top of their heads, their eyes are bloodshot, and sparks may erupt from their noses at any time.

It's no big deal, Shen is okay?!

Recurrence of an old disease? After several years of recuperation, the old disease of the queen mother has shown signs of improvement, why is it suddenly endangered?

Angry? Who would dare to make the queen mother angry?!

Thinking of Princess Ping, who was suddenly seriously ill, and Zhu Gaochi, who left Beijing silently, Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui had boundless killing intent in their chests.

It's better not what they think, otherwise, even if someone stops them, they will kill her alive when they chase her to the southwest!

Emperor Yongle was teaching Zhu Zhanqi to learn characters in the Kunning Palace.

Zhu Zhanji sat aside, respectful and solemn. Zhu Di and Empress Xu would speak only when they asked, and they did not see the wanton favor they had earlier in front of the emperor and queen.

Once, he was the eldest grandson of the Heavenly Family, and the most favored grandson of the emperor's grandfather and grandmother.

Now, his father is in the southwest, and he cannot return to Beijing without an edict. The queen mother made a big mistake and was completely rejected by the imperial grandfather and grandmother. He stayed in the capital to study, and he couldn't make a mistake.

Although the emperor's grandfather will not punish him easily, the people around him will accept it on his behalf. Since his father left Beijing, most of the palace eunuchs who served him have changed, and the companions arranged by his mother before have not been left, and all of them have disappeared.

The eunuch palace people in Fengtian Hall and Kunning Palace respected him as before, but behind the respect there was a little more alienation.

People are warm and cold, and the world is hot and cold.

Zhu Zhanji had never seen it so clearly.

In the palace, His Majesty Dan, this is the pinnacle of power in the world, and it is also the coldest place in the world.

Ministers, palace people, eunuchs.

Everyone here has multiple faces, one moment they greet each other with a smile, and the next moment they may speak like a knife and hurt people with blood.

Zhu Zhanji remembered his father's teachings, did not worry about his parents who were far away in the southwest, and devoted himself to filial piety to the emperor's grandfather and grandmother. Don't plead for your parents, especially his mother.

"After the father and mother leave, you are the only one left in the capital." Zhu Gaochi's words were to avoid others and say to Zhu Zhanji alone, "In addition to teaching your master, don't easily contact the ministers of the imperial court, and don't interact with the people of the Inner Officials Palace in Fengtian Hall and Kunning Palace." Even if someone finds you, you must immediately sue the emperor's grandfather, remember! ”

"The father's teachings have been written down by the son."

"Besides, you must clearly remember that your imperial grandfather is the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and the first Son of Heaven is your grandfather!"

Zhu Zhanji's eyes trembled slightly, and finally bowed down and bowed, "Obey the teachings of my father!" ”

Zhu Gaochi left, the gate of the Pingwang Mansion in the capital was closed, and Zhu Zhanji stayed in the palace, and he did not return to the palace even on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Pavilions and pavilions, corridors and cornices, cyan glazed tiles, Rui beasts squat on the ridge, looking up and roaring to the sky. Rao is the eunuch palace people clean every day, the closed courtyard gate, the deserted three halls, or increasingly desolate and decadent.

In contrast, the palace of the king of Han and the palace of the king of Zhao in the capital city is a different scene.

On the day when King Han and King Zhao arrived in Beijing, the main gate of the palace was opened, and the clear water was sprinkled on the stone brick pavement, and the shadow of the person could be illuminated in a trance.

The right Changshi of the Han Palace, who stayed in Beijing with Zhu Zhanqi, was full of joy and welcomed the prince back to his house in front of the gate

When the sound of horses' hooves was near, but there were only guards, and there were no two highnesses, I was stunned for a moment, and soon thought that the prince must have entered the palace.

Changshi coughed, put away the smile on his face, arranged the guards into the mansion, and turned around and said, "Your Highness has entered the palace, so let's disperse for the time being." ”

"Yes."

"When Your Highness is in Beijing, you must be cautious in your words and deeds! If something goes wrong, you won't be forgiven! ”

"The slave obeys."

The people of the eunuch palace promised again and again, and waited until Changshi left, before they looked at each other, this person walked with fluttering, eager to jump three feet high, who to show with a straight face?

In recent years, the prince has become more and more calm, guarding the Xuanfu and training troops in Tuntian, and has gained a lot of fame. The prince is loved by the emperor and the queen, no less than the prince of Ping, and the Han prince's mansion is honored.

When did such a change happen? It seems that it started when His Royal Highness made friends with Xing Ningbo......

Not to mention the busyness of the Han Palace, and the Zhao Palace, after Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui entered the palace, they went directly to Kunning Palace without being led by anyone.

"Gao Xu and Gao Sui have arrived in Beijing?"

Hearing the Zhongguan report, Queen Xu was very surprised.

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Queen, the two princes are waiting outside the palace."

Hearing this, it was difficult for Zhu Di to put on a stern face, "Xuan." ”

The lieutenant introduced the two brothers into the hall, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui knelt down and kowtowed, "Son, see the father and the emperor, and the queen mother!" ”

Queen Xu was very pleased, but she didn't forget the rules in the palace, seeing that the two of them were not neatly groomed, and they were not called into the palace, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Gao Xu and Gao Sui should be worried about the concubines, and there is something wrong with the courtesy, and please forgive Your Majesty." ”

Without being summoned, he entered the palace with the prince's waist card.

When I met the emperor, I didn't say that I was bathing and burning incense, I didn't change my clothes, I didn't wash my face, I was close, and I could smell the smell of sweat all over my body. Even if he is the emperor's own son, he can't be so disrespectful of manners!

When the news spreads, the recital of the official will immediately pile up on the imperial case.

Zhu Di waved his hand, "Since the queen intercedes, I will spare you and wait for this time." Get up. Seeing his two sons dyed in earthy gray robes, and the blue and black under his eyes, Tiger Dad rarely relented.

"Father Xie, Queen Mother!"

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui got up and breathed a sigh of relief. I thought I was going to be whipped again, but fortunately!

Although the rough skin and thick meat are used to being cleaned up by the father, it is too embarrassing to be smoked in front of his son and nephew, but fortunately, there is a queen mother!

The queen mother is a thousand years old, and the queen mother is mighty!

Zhu Gaosui squeezed his eyes at Zhu Gaoxu, what's the matter, what my brother said is right, right? It is safest to go to Kunning Palace.

The king of Han bows his head, and the virtuous brother is thoughtful, and admires his brother!

When Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui saluted, Zhu Zhanyu had already struggled from Zhu Di's arms and fell to the ground.

Because he was still young and was wrapped like a ball, he was not allowed to be supported by the eunuchs, Zhu Zhanyan did not stand firm when he landed, shook twice, and sat directly on the ground.

The eunuch palace people who were waiting on the side were startled, and their faces turned white. stepped forward to help, but was immediately slapped away. I could only watch Zhu Zhanyan stand up by himself tremblingly, without dissatisfaction and bitterness.

The Son of Heaven's family was very interested, and Zhu Di nodded from time to time, "Okay, it's my grandson!" ”

In such a situation, let alone ordinary palace people, the tough guy Hou Xian couldn't help but be frightened, if this was bumped, it would really be a personal life!

Looking at Zhu Zhanyan who got up and fell on the ground, and Zhu Zhanyu who fell and got up, Zhu Gaoxu silently looked up at the sky, okay, this is his son.

Both the father and the queen mother said that this kid was exactly the same as when he was a child, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, like a calf.

Every time he heard this, Zhu Gaoxu was extremely sad. It turns out that I have such a black history, it's really unbearable!

Zhu Gaosui was happy when he saw his heart, and when he saw his three-headed nephew falling, he still didn't let anyone help him, so he got up and saluted his brother and himself, but he didn't hold it up and rolled to the ground again, he didn't dare to laugh if he wanted to laugh, he covered his mouth desperately, and his face was red.

Can't laugh, resolutely can't laugh!

The top of the brother's head is on fire, dare to laugh, and the absolute ribs are discounted.

Zhu Di didn't have this concern, stroked his beard and couldn't stop laughing, nodded at Zhu Zhanyu, and said to Zhu Gaoxu: "See? You were like this when you were a kid! ”

"Erchen ......" Zhu Gaoxu grinded his teeth, but he didn't dare to talk back to his father.

The children of the old Zhu family are all precocious, and Zhu Zhanyan is no exception. Knowing that he was being teased, he didn't cry, and grabbed King Han's hand, "Son, I've seen my father." ”

Without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu to react, Zhu Gaosui picked up his nephew and took out a small dagger inlaid with gems and no blade, "Here, big cannibal things, take it and play with it." ”

Seeing this, Queen Xu hurriedly asked the palace people to hug Zhu Zhanyan over, patted Zhu Zhanyan's clothes, and said to her two sons: "There is hot water in the side hall, go and change your clothes first and then come over." ”

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were speechless at the same time, were they disgusted by their mother?

Sure enough, the three-headed body is the number one killer in the competition for favor!

Before King Han and King Zhao were led to the side hall, Zhu Zhanji stepped forward to salute the two of them.

"My nephew has seen two uncles."

"The son of the world has grown."

Zhu Gaosui smiled and took out a small hand crossbow from his arms, the willow wooden crossbow body, painted with a layer of black lacquer, and the strings of cow tendons, which were less than the size of a human palm, and at first glance they were toys for children. It's just a little more lethal than a real toy.

Zhu Zhanji took the crossbow and said, "Uncle Xie." ”

Only the bow and crossbow have no crossbow arrows, not forgotten, but deliberately.

Zhu Gaosui will not be stingy no matter how mixed he is, and he will not be negligent where he should pay attention. It doesn't matter if you bring this toy crossbow into the palace, but you must not bring crossbow arrows. Otherwise, if Daddy doesn't-smoke-him, the Imperial Historian won't let him go.

"Wait for you to pull out a stone bow, and Uncle Wang will send you a good one."

Zhu Gaosui gave a gift, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't pretend not to see it. He was in Xuanfu Tuntian, accustomed to cloth clothes and coarse grains, silk silk rarely went up, except for waist cards, jade pendants were rarely hung. In addition, I was in a hurry for several days, and I didn't have much to play with for my children, but fortunately, there were two jade plates engraved with the pattern of five grains in the purse, and I took them out, one for Zhu Zhanji, and the other for Zhu Zhanji.

"This is what Uncle Wang got in the north, the jade is not good, but the implication is good."

"Uncle Xie."

Zhu Zhanji accepted the jade plaque and saluted solemnly. I obviously prefer this jade plaque to a hand-crossbow.

Zhu Gaosui pursed his lips and looked at Zhu Zhanyan, who was holding the dagger but was not very proud of the jade plate, and suddenly smiled.

Look, it's still a nephew who knows the goods!

Seeing the actions of his two sons, Emperor Yongle smiled and bowed his head. Thinking of Zhu Gaochi, who traveled far to the southwest, his heart sank again.

The two were taken to the side hall, and Empress Xu hugged Zhu Zhan and asked, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that Gao Xu and Gao Sui have been in the dust all the way and are very tired. You don't have to work tonight, and tomorrow you will have a family feast. ”

"Okay." Zhu Di nodded, "The queen can arrange it." But don't over-exert yourself, or I'll whip them! ”

Empress Xu chuckled and said, "The concubine obeys the order." ”

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, who were bathing and changing clothes in the side hall, had a cold back at the same time, strange, could it be that Dad was still thinking about cleaning them up?

That night, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui stayed in the palace.

The next day, the ministers all learned of the arrival of the two princes in Beijing.

Ying Tianfu Yin's face was full of joy, and he trotted all the way with the hem of his official uniform.

The Son of Heaven set up a banquet in the palace, and all the five grades and above in Beijing had to attend, and Xingningbo was naturally no exception.

As long as Xing Ningbo came out of the Yingtian Mansion, he immediately ordered the door to be closed and not let him in. Even if there are any more cases of murder on the street, disturbance, disorder, society, security, and security, they will be directly handed over to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, or the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, and no matter how bad it is, there is a department dedicated to managing the nobles, and it will not be possible to kill him.

Since Xingning Burai did not leave the Yamen in Yingtianfu, the Jinyi Guards of the Fusi Division of Beizhen also began to reside in the Yamen.

Those who know the inside story know that it is because of Xingningbo.

Those who don't know the inside story will think that there has been an extremely serious violation of the law and discipline in Tianfu, so they will work to guard the day and the sun.

Some of the actions taken by Jinyiwei against the temple also have a lot to do with Xingningbo. Fu Yin is very worried, if he is approached by more than 100 bald heads one day, how to deal with it?

Thinking of the recent events, everyone in the yamen was frightened and had trouble sleeping. In the long run, no matter how strong the ability to resist pressure is, it will be a nervous breakdown, and if you can't think about it, it is possible to hang yourself on the southeast branch.

Fortunately, the King of Han and the King of Zhao returned to Beijing, and the Son of Heaven held a banquet in the palace, and the opportunity to invite this plague god away finally came!

Fu Yin Xing rushed over, met Fu Cheng on the way, and met Zhizhong.

Needless to say, the mind is the same, send Xing Ningbo out!

Since the establishment of Ying Tianfu, it is the first time that such a strange "criminal suspect" has appeared, and I hope it will be the last time. Otherwise, it will really reduce your life!

Meng Zheng packed his luggage, and when he saw Fu Yin and the others, his eyes rolled and he smiled: "Are you here to keep this official?" In this case, after the palace banquet, the official will come back. ”

As he spoke, he put his bags back on.

Fu Yin and the others were bitter in their mouths, they could swear to the sky, they didn't want to keep people at all!

"Uncle, the past is over, everyone in the world knows that the uncle is innocent, and there is no need to continue to stay in the mansion. And the government is simple, and the body of the uncle's daughter is not suitable for living here for a long time. ”

In short, the case is closed, and we can't rely on it anymore!

Ying Tianfu was in disrepair and extremely simple. The walls are ventilated, the roof is leaking, and the ridge of the roof will shake three times if you kick the corner of the wall. Before sitting in the lobby and taking a picture of the wood, you must make sure that the roof will not fall off. Otherwise, if the case is not resolved, the court official will be injured first.

Safety first, life first!

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

For the sake of Uncle's own safety, it's better to leave quickly, it's better not to come again.

Fu Yin and the others played extraordinarily, and for the first time, Meng was speechless.

Looking up at the sky, it is really the size of the world, and there are no surprises. These people are Ying Tianfu Ya in their mouths? Is it really not somewhere-to-be demolished?

The ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open, he really needs to be strengthened!

In the end, Xingningbo was gifted out of Yingtianfu.

From the government of Yin Fucheng, the general sentence in the governance, the experience of pushing officials, to the official who was held hostage by Meng, the collective queue to see him off. I just waved a handkerchief and shouted a few times: "Warm farewell, don't come back!" ”

Walking out of the mansion, just after the long street, a sound of horses' hooves came from behind him. Get out of the way, and a team of brocade guards is galloping in.

looked at the past, and saw Yang Duo, but saw Ji Gang in a flying fish suit with silver trim on his head.

Compared with the first meeting, Ji Gang has changed a lot. With a long knife in his hand, his waist is straight, no longer like a scholar, but more like a military general from a military family.

Seeing Meng, Ji Gang immediately grabbed the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen uncle." ”

Meng returned the salute with a smile, "I haven't congratulated Ji Tongzhi on his ascension yet." ”

"Don't dare, in front of the uncle, how dare you say that you are promoted." Ji Gang said, "The weather has not been very good recently, I'm afraid there will be strong winds, my uncle is not like me and other rough people, so I have to be careful when entering and leaving." ”

"Thank you Ji Tongzhi for reminding me."

"Don't dare, the lower officials still have important business, take the first step."

Ji Gang clenched his fists, jumped on the horse, and pulled the reins of the horse, and more than ten brocade-clothed guards galloped eastward.

When Meng returned to Bofu, his family immediately came to report, and in the past few days, there have been fresh faces wandering outside the house.

Liu Baihu arrested someone and found out that it was a small official of Like. When asked him why, he only said that he had something important to tell his uncle. ”

"Something important?" Meng straightened his sleeves and asked, "Are you sure it's Like?" ”

"Yes." Liu Baihu responded, "According to what he said, this matter is related to King Zhao of Han. ”

"Oh?"

Meng raised his eyebrows, Liu Baihu took a step forward and lowered his voice, "According to what the little official said, Like seems to have grievances about King Ping's affairs in the southwest, and he also talked about the establishment of the crown prince......"

Liu Baihu's voice became lower and lower, but Meng's heart beat faster and faster.

Was someone really sending him a message, or was it just another trap?

"Where is that little official now?"

"The lowly has let him go. Uncle rest assured, someone is staring. ”

Meng pondered for a long time and said, "Who else knows about this?" ”

"Uncle Hui, except for the lowly, there are only five people."

"Good. Let people continue to follow that little official, and everything will be said after I come back from the palace. ”

Whether it's a trap or anything, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, if it really makes trouble, maybe it can get unexpected results.
