In the following time, Zhu Yunwen spent most of his time in the hospital bed, and occasionally went to see King Yan who was recuperating in the palace, according to the imperial doctor who treated King Yan, King Yan's body was slowly recovering, but he still had onset from time to time, and he would say some things that were not very good, but relatively speaking, he was much calmer. When Zhu Yunwen went to visit King Yan, he found that King Yan was indeed better, and he was very respectful to himself, far from his usual rebelliousness. But when he was sick, as soon as Zhu Yunwen appeared, King Yan would go crazy, as a last resort, as soon as King Yan became ill, Zhu Yunwen would retreat, so as not to stimulate King Yan.

Back in the courtyard of Duanben Palace, Zhu Yunwen was wondering if he was too suspicious of King Yan, many people in later generations thought that King Yan was forced to rebel by himself, as long as he did not cut the feudal domain and maintained the original status quo of the Hongwu Dynasty, there would be no disaster. There is some truth in this statement, if you don't cut the domain, maybe King Yan will be satisfied with being a vassal king. But if the vassal king continues to control civil and military affairs, then perhaps after a few decades, Biansai will only know about the vassal king, but not about the imperial court. Power, the longer you have it, the more unwilling you are to give it up, and at that time, I'm afraid it will be more serious than the rebellion of the three feudatories of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Jinling will not have a strong army, and at that time, it will be difficult to say whether it can resist the cavalry in the north.

It may be fake that King Yan is sick, but no one can say anything about ghosts and gods. Some people may be clear, but they can't convince others, so this is destined to be inexplicable. Master Dexuan said that he had Su Hui, but he felt similar to the ghost upper body, so it is not strange that King Yan was taken on the body by his ancestors. According to the normal development, he will be ousted from power by King Yan, and the ending will be miserable; But now, it's hard to say, maybe the ancestors found out that they were being put on the body, and they would be dissatisfied, worried that they would kill the descendants of the Zhu family, which also makes sense. Could it be that King Yan raised an army and got a hint from his ancestors?

Zhu Yunwen was entangled in this series of reasoning, feeling dizzy, and even felt that someone was watching him in the dark, and he couldn't help but feel a little creepy. Suddenly, a voice sounded: "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Yunxi was frightened, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be his younger brother Yunxi, and he couldn't help but say: "Yunxi, why are you screaming, I'm scared to death." ”

Zhu Yunxi was a little baffled, but he still walked over to help Zhu Yunxi and said, "Brother Huang, my brother just saw you standing here for a long time, with a solemn expression, and some people gritted their teeth, and my brother had to disturb Brother Huang." ”

Zhu Yunwen had already come back to his senses at this time, patted Yunxi's shoulder, and said, "Yunxi, my brother is fine, I just remembered some things." ”

Zhu Yunxi glanced around and whispered, "Brother Huang, are you thinking about King Yan?" ”

"Huh? How could Yun Hee think that? ”

"Brother Huang, King Yan is unruly, his brother saw it when his father was there, this time the royal brother fell into the water and almost died, although his mother didn't say it on the surface, but secretly cried in private, if it wasn't for King Yan pretending to be sick this time, how could the royal brother ......"

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly stopped his younger brother and said, "Yunxi, don't talk nonsense about pretending to be sick, the imperial doctor hasn't found out, we can't criticize the elders here." ”

"Brother......

Zhu Yunxi smiled, asked Yunxi to sit down, and said, "Liu Zhen, you stand down, Gu and Yunxi have something to say." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhu Yunwen looked at Yunxi and said: "King Yan is an elder, it is difficult to deal with it, and if you can't catch the handle, you will stop mentioning everything, so you have to be cautious in your words and deeds, don't say this kind of thing, if it is heard by someone with a heart, it will cause unnecessary trouble." ”

"Well, okay, Yun Xi listens to my brother."

"Yunxi, what do you want to do in the future?"

"Brother, what can I do? When you become the emperor and give me a king, I can eat, drink, and have fun. ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at his younger brother carefully, and said with a smile: "Brother, didn't you want to be a general before?" Why do you want to mess around now? ”

"Brother, forgive my brother for being blunt, now these uncles are too big to lose, if the younger brother also leads the troops, how will he get along with his brother in the future."

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said: "Yunxi, my brother's idea is not very mature, but you will definitely be able to become king in the future, but it is a little different from the current uncle, if you want, you can also lead the army, but the power is similar to that of an ordinary general, and there will be no privileges, do you understand what your brother means?" ”

"Well, I'll think about it."

"So you don't have to worry about our brother falling out of harmony, if you want, my brother will let you go to the martial arts school to be a student, but there are no privileges, if you think about it, you can tell me, I will arrange it for you."

"Thank you brother for your understanding, brother want to think about it."

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Song Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was kneeling, and said angrily: "Where did this rumor come from? Did you find it? What do you Jinyiwei do for food? ”

Song Zhong knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and said: "Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei has tried his best, but in the end he just tracked down a few little beggars, according to them, it was one dark night, a man in black taught them a poem, let them sing, and gave them a penny of silver every night, so they sang very hard, but after a few days, that person never appeared again, so the clue was broken here." But this poem has been circulated in Beijing, and although it is strictly forbidden to be sung by Jinyiwei, there are still people circulating it in private. ”

"Isn't there a clue at all? The voice of the man in black? The crowd around didn't notice it? ”

"Jin Yiwei has investigated, and the man in black has not left any flaws. The place was very remote, there were very few residents around, and the men in black came in the middle of the night, so no one saw it. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, and said angrily: "Check it for me, if you can't find it, you can wipe your neck yourself." ”

Song Zhong trembled on the ground, his soul did not possess his body, and said: "The minister's will, the minister's will." ”

Song Zhong came out of the palace, returned to the Jinyi Guard Yamen, gathered his subordinates, and continued to investigate. When everyone went out, Song Zhong sighed, spread out the paper in his hand, and wrote a clumsy little poem on it: "The young man is ruthless, and he suspects that the elders are angry with the ancestors." The Yangtze River was frightened in the water, and Zhongzhong in the Jinluan Palace was punished. Message: Anointing the foolish family master, don't pass on the ancestral business to children. ”

On the surface, it looks like a story of a loser, but a discerning person can see at a glance what it means. This was discovered by Bai Wangru, who specialized in running newspapers, and then reported to himself, and he could only report to the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to be angry, and he had to find out, which was troublesome.

The royal reunion banquet on August 15 ended in a hurry, because the acting king was banned from studying, King Yan was good and bad, Zhu Yunwen was weak and often bedridden, unable to attend, and Zhu Yuanzhang and several other princes had no thoughts. At the same time, among the ministers, the letters demanding severe punishment of the king of Yan and the acting king were repeatedly banned, and some people impeached the prince for traveling too aggressively, wantonly burning the warships, and burning the honor guard of the grandson; Someone impeached King Yan for pretending to be sick and pretending to be crazy, intending to murder the prince, and should be stripped of the prince's title and demoted to a concubine. Zhu Yuanzhang was at a loss for this, so he could only belittle a few unpleasant ones, and the others were left behind.

On September 15, when the court was arguing about these things, Xu Huizu and Song Sheng, who were supervising the army in Shaanxi, jointly reported to the imperial court, asking for the specific date of the construction of the city by Shi Suiyuan; On the same day, the recitals of Dong Shengwei and Yun Neiwei also arrived in Beijing at the same time. The people in the court finally reacted and had something to do.
