Chapter Forty-Seven: Bright Fangs
"You are also the daughter-in-law of the royal family, so it's not good to talk about your own family."
"Who's going to marry you, talk to yourself all day long."
Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and picked up Sun Ruo's shimmering and jade chin, "The little lady is shy?" But what now, you went to the garden party with me. Not only civil and military officials, but also nobles and royal relatives have seen it. Even the envoys and kings of the overseas countries and the steppe tribes saw it. The two of us are not only known to the whole world, but to the whole world. You are my daughter-in-law, and you can't run away. ”
Wang Xiao and Sun Ruowei were flirting here, and the voice of the eunuch came from outside the room. said that the prince had an urgent matter and asked him to come over to discuss.
"The prince's heart is like a mirror, he can't hide anything from him, he just doesn't say it. This must have been the Crown Princess's idea. Wang Xiao lay down directly and picked up the history of the Song Dynasty next to the bed, "You go and talk to your mother-in-law for a while, and say that I have slept." Don't tell her what I said to you before, I don't know how many people in this palace are outside eyeliner. Once it leaks out, the meeting between the old man and Emperor Jianwen will be in danger. ”
Sun Ruowei got up and tidied up her clothes, muttered a few words in a low voice, and left the room to go outside.
When I came to the hall, I saw that there was no trace of the prince, only the anxious princess turning around.
"This guy is really born to be an emperor."
Sun Ruowei complained, took a deep breath and stepped forward with a smile, ready to deal with his mother-in-law-to-be.
Wang Xiao is right in saying that this kind of thing is not something that anyone can do.
The crown prince was imprisoned in the prince's mansion, the irons of the princelings were all imprisoned, the grandson was injured and recuperating, and the emperor ran to the Jiming Temple outside the city to see no one. Zhu Gaoxu, who was appointed to supervise the country, finally relaxed, feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the throne.
None of the three Zhu brothers was a fuel-efficient lamp. He Zhu Gaoxu looked at the five big and three coarse, but in fact, he was also a thoughtful person. All kinds of selfish means and small actions are also unguardable.
Only at this moment, this seemingly within reach, can really fool him. Let him be trapped in the position of the prison country, and he can't care about anything else.
On this day, Wang Xiao, who was supposed to be recuperating in the prince's mansion, appeared in the Jiming Temple.
Zhu Di, who was playing chess with Yao Guangxiao, asked him without raising his head, "You have stood here for so long, and you don't plead for your father?" Just watching him being locked up in the Prince's Mansion? ”
Wang Xiao smiled and saluted Zhu Di, "The younger prince thanks Your Majesty for your kindness." ”
'Wow~' Zhu Di directly threw a chess piece on the chessboard, suddenly raised his head and glared at Wang Xiao with an ice gaze, "You kid, you're too smart." ”
"Your Majesty." Yao Guangxiao, who was on the other side, spoke first, "Seeing that you want to lose chess, you can use the problem to play and fool around, this is not good." In this game, His Majesty lost. ”
Zhu Di, who had a cold face before, laughed, clapped his hands and stood up and beckoned to Wang Xiao.
When Wang Xiao came to him, Zhu Di leaned over and whispered, "In the future, even if you see through anything, don't say it directly, save some face for grandpa." ”
"What did Grandpa say? I don't know anything. Wang Xiao looked at him stunned.
"You little monkey cub." Zhu Di scolded and waved his hand, "Hurry up, go and get your things done." If you can't do it, don't come back. ”
Looking at the back of Wang Xiao running away, Zhu Di pinched his waist with both hands and tilted his head to look at Yao Guangxiao, who was cleaning up the chess pieces, "Old monk, how is my grandson?" ”
Yao Guangxiao smiled but did not speak.
As a smart person, when to say anything, when not to say a word. He knew it very well.
Zhu Di was not angry, turned to look in the direction of Wang Xiao's departure and was silent for a long time.
After a long time, Zhu Di said a word silently.
"Daming, can prosper for a hundred years."
------
"You've been gone for months, and I thought you had gone to Nanyang."
Seeing Xu Bin and Sun Yu and the others again, in a restaurant where Jinyiwei was a secret stronghold, Wang Xiao picked up a jar of wine and threw it into Xu Bin's hands.
"Don't talk too much, I'll talk about it later. Drink first, then talk. ”
Xu Bin looked at the wine jar in his hand with a smile, sighed, slapped the mud seal, raised his head and poured it.
"That's it?" Watching Xu Bin drink the small half jar in one go, Wang Xiao disdainfully picked up the wine jar next to him and drank most of it.
Of course, the jar of wine in Wang Xiao's hand had been mixed with water before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to drink so violently.
"Taisun." Xu Bin bowed incomprehensibly, "What does this mean?" ”
Wang Xiao beckoned Sun Yu and the others to sit down, and then looked at Xu Bin sideways, "I heard that you and Ruowei had a relationship before?" ”
Xu Bin's face changed, and he hurriedly got up and explained, "Taisun mistakenly wants to listen to slander!" Miss Sun and I are innocent and frank, and we can see it every day! ”
"Who do you think of me? Narrow-minded villain? You also look down on Sun Ruowei's vision too much. ”
Wang Xiao shook his head slowly, "Sun Ruowei is a good girl, and it is natural for someone to like it." Hell nobody likes it. I want to prove to everyone that I am better than you and more worthy of her. ”
Xu Bin couldn't cry or laugh, "Taisun is massive, I admire it." The grandson and the grandson are made in heaven. ”
Wang Xiao clapped his hands and stood up, "Okay, the private matter is over for the time being, let's talk about business." Can Emperor Jianwen agree to meet His Majesty? ”
Xu Bin and the others glanced at each other, and it was still up to him, the think tank, to take the lead, "Taisun, the emperor said that he was willing to pardon all the orphans of Jingjing, is it true?" ”
Wang Xiao nodded: "You have no jokes." The officials and their families outside the Guanguan could not be pardoned explicitly in the emperor's court, but they were no longer required to serve hard labor. And you can return to Yingtianfu step by step in the name of seeing a doctor, and your children and grandchildren can also participate in the imperial examination. The matter of full forgiveness will have to wait until the next day. ”
This time, Nie Xing was not there, and before Xu Bin and the others left, Wang Xiao specially looked for him and told a reckless man like Nie Xing to stay in the mountains in the south and stop coming out to make trouble.
"I know you have hatred in your hearts." Wang Xiao picked up the tea, "But at least let the living people live and live well." You say don't you? ”
Sun Yu took a deep breath, "There were too many things that happened during the Jing Dynasty, if you go to chase revenge and seek hatred one by one, you can't finish talking about three days and three nights." Since ancient times, emperors have not believed in their words, how can we believe that this is not a trap. ”
jokingly raised his finger and pointed to his forehead, "My head is mortgaged to you, if the emperor doesn't believe his words, then I will pay for Emperor Jianwen's life." ”
Sun Yu glanced at Xu Bin and continued to speak, "You are just a mere imperial grandson, and Zhu Di has so many grandsons, even if you are sacrificed, what can you do." Why should we believe you? ”
Wang Xiao naturally knew that they wanted more security, but unfortunately this thing really didn't have it, "Then your daughter will be widowed." ”
ridiculed Sun Yu, Wang Xiao continued to say the main topic, "Where in the world did the perfect thing come from." I can be a hostage, and I've got the biggest hand for you. I don't ask you to be grateful, because I'm not helping you. But don't take me for a fool. If you miss this time, you will never have a chance next time. ”
"That's all there is to it. You set the place, we set the time. Come and let me know when you've thought about it. ”
Before leaving, Wang Xiao paused and looked at them, "Don't go back to Shangpin Antique Shop, my third uncle is preparing to take you hostage." I've got a good show for him, and you can be the audience. It's free to go in person. ”
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui is in charge of Jinyiwei, of course, only Beizhen Fusi. It is impossible for Zhu Di to let him fully master Jinyiwei.
On this day, Zhu Gaosui had just made a plan with the King of Han to force the prince to sell furniture on the street and be embarrassed, when he received a report from his subordinates that a group of strange people had come to the Shangpin antique shop, and the doors and windows were closed in broad daylight.
Zhu Gaosui decided that those orphans had returned. Immediately ordered "Mobilize manpower and arrest people tonight!" ”
The night was dark and the wind was high, and dozens of Zhu Gaosui's henchmen Jinyi guards held swords and shields, and sneaked into the antique shop with bows and crossbows.
"My lord, I didn't see anyone."
This store is actually not that big, so many people come in and just walk around and check it out. There is really no one inside or outside.
Qianhu, who led the team, was about to go outside to report to Zhu Gaosui, but suddenly frowned, "What kind of smell?" ”
The people around snorted one after another, and then their expressions changed greatly, "It's fire oil!" ”
A large number of rockets were fired outside, and the entire Shangpin antique store was soon caught in a sea of fire.
Seeing his henchmen who had followed him for many years running out in flames, Zhu Gaosui, who was about to burst, drew his knife and roared angrily to call people to chase and kill those who shot rockets.
Since it was an ambush, of course it was impossible for them to catch up. Several were even killed on the way to the pursuit.
That night, Zhu Gaosui lost more than 30 henchmen. These are all important helpers for him to take charge of the North Town Fusi. The death of these people made his control over Beizhen Fusi drop a lot in an instant.
King Han, who got the news, did not say anything about it, and in his heart, the third brother was not a peaceful person. It's okay to be beaten.
And after Zhu Di in Jiming Temple learned about it, he just said, "The little wolf cub showed its fangs and was about to eat meat." ”
With such a big movement, it is impossible to hide from people. What's more, Wang Xiao was not prepared to hide it at all, he was just doing it openly.
"You have made such a big deal this time, aren't you afraid that your third uncle will come to you for trouble?"
On the street, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi was setting up a stall on the street to sell objects in the East Palace, and Wang Xiao squatted on the side to help.
"Lord Zhao, this person, looks very vicious and frightening, but in fact, he is just a fierce and inward-looking. If I'm even afraid of him, then let's not fight for the throne, and run away as soon as possible to follow Zheng He to live overseas. ”
Zhu Gaochi sent a guest away and looked at Wang Xiao curiously, "Although you have always been very smart in the past, how can I always feel that you have been reborn in recent times." ”
"Hmm." Wang Xiao took the apple in his hand and took a bite, "I met a fairy, and I paid for the fairy's help to light it." ”
"Hey, you kid aren't even afraid of ghosts. I don't know what you'd be afraid of. ”
Wang Xiao, who was squatting on the ground, turned his head to look at Zhu Gaochi, who deliberately provoked the topic, and replied seriously, "I'm afraid of the people of the world." I'm afraid that they won't have a good time and scold me, I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect them and curse me, and I'm afraid that natural and man-made disasters will befall them, and I can't sleep at night. ”
"What can really make the emperor afraid is not the generals who hold the military power, nor the foreigners who are eyeing them. It's not just that in addition to greed, they will only kneel down to greet the big turbans of foreigners and chant holy virtues. It's those ordinary people who work all day long to make a living. ”
Zhu Gaochi raised his hand and patted his legs, sighing heavily, "I really don't know how the old man taught you." When I was the same age as you, I didn't understand any of these truths. It was also after so many years of imprisonment that he gradually understood after watching the affairs of the whole world. The old man is really eccentric. ”
While the two were laughing and eating apples, a large group of brocade guards rumbled over from the street corner in the distance.
The first person wears a python robe and a jade crown. A tense face seemed to be able to scrape off frost.
The person who came was Zhao Wangye, Zhu Gaosui.
