It's not that there is no opposition to the seal change order, and there are still many people who oppose it. Among them, Wang Du, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, was the most fiercely opposed, believing that announcing this order at this time was tantamount to forcing King Yan to rebel, but Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai thought that this could paralyze King Yan, because it was equivalent to telling him that the throne was worry-free, and his descendants were worry-free; Zhuo Jing fully supports it, and changing the seal is what he has always advocated, as for Xie Jin, Liu Sanwu and others, they also expressed their support.

In the court, there are many opponents, thinking that the homeland is difficult to leave, the climate difference between the north and the south is too great, these kings and grandsons are pampered, once there is a problem in the migration process, I am afraid that some people will say that the court treats the vassal king harshly, so it is easy to settle down.

In the end, Zhu Yunwen took a step back and did not force the north and south to move, but he had to leave his father's fiefdom. In the end, at Zhu Yunwen's insistence, an order to change the seal was issued, and Zhu Yunwen had two considerations for doing this, one was to let the vassal king know the bottom line of the court, not to think nonsense, and to avoid them from taking risks; The other is to give a reason for the kings of Biansai to move inward, all the kings were born in the south since childhood, so that they can return to their homeland, which can also be said to be the emperor's grace.

In fact, Zhu Yunwen also had some doubts, many ministers supported the reduction of the feudal domain, but did not support the replacement of the seal, or did not really support the replacement of the seal, such as Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others.

At the same time, Zhu Yunwen also understood that this holy decree could not appease those who were bent on rebellion, such as King Yan, King Zhou, etc.

Peiping.

It has been half a year since Ru Yu took office as the political envoy of Beiping, and he began to regret his original impulse and instigated the courtiers to storm the Zhan Mansion. After that, he was exiled by the first emperor as the political envoy of Henan, and the new emperor ascended the throne and moved to Beiping as the political envoy. From Jingshi to Beiping, from the rich and warm south to the cold and dry north, he was very uncomfortable, and he was faintly dissatisfied in his heart.

Ru Yu was young and ambitious, and had the reputation of the reincarnation of Nanyue God, suffering from this setback, although he was not depressed after Gu's explanation, but he was a little pessimistic about his future. After moving to Beiping, he understood the emperor's intentions, which was a test for him. If you can do a good job, you can return to Beijing, and if you don't do a good job, you will be dismissed and return to the field.

But what the emperor wants to do is really dangerous, and as for the envoy Song Zhong and Chen Ying, who are the commanders and envoys who are partnered with him, they make him feel even more disdainful. Song Zhong was born in Jinyiwei, and the courtiers avoided him; Chen Ying is cruel by nature and specializes in fighting. He sometimes wonders, did the emperor send such two people to deal with the affairs of King Yan to solve the unjust case? Even if King Yan has no objection, he will not sit still and fall into the hands of these two people.

Therefore, since Ru Yu arrived, he did not enter the Yanwang Mansion except as a last resort, nor did he contact Song Zhong and Chen Ying, and concentrated on handling his official business.

On July 20 of the first year of Jianwen, the secret decree of the imperial court arrived, and Ni Qiong, a hundred households in Yanshan, changed his name, and commanded Song Zhong to be responsible for arresting the official school involved in the case, and Ru Yu was responsible for going to Yanwangfu to spread the word, in fact, to detect the truth of Yanwangfu, Ru Yu had to go, stretched his waist, sighed, took the holy decree and went out to sit in the carriage, and after a while, he came to Yanwangfu.

When he arrived at the door, he found that a person came out of it, Ru Yu looked at it, it turned out to be Chen Ying, who was the envoy, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Lord Chen, I don't know what to do with King Yan?" ”

Chen Ying was walking with her head down, but when she heard Ru Yu's question, she was excited, looked up, and found that it was Ru Yu, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Lord Ru, Ying came to visit King Yan's condition and confirm some things with the prince." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

"It's nothing, it's all an internal matter of the judge."

"Oh," Ru Yu stopped talking, nodded and entered the palace.

Chen Ying glanced back at Ru Yu, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and muttered: "This Ru Yu, what are you doing, one day Lao Tzu will have to kill you." ”

Of course, Ru Yu didn't hear Chen Ying's words, he went straight to the main hall, and heard someone behind him shouting: "It's so cold, it's so cold, it's freezing me to death." The servants in the house shouted and ran around, and even the prince Zhu Gaochi rushed to the backyard with the help of others.

After Zhu Gaochi saw Ru Yu, he immediately stopped, hugged his fists and said, "Lord Ru, what is the matter?" ”

"The court has a will, and the officials will come to announce it." Ru Yu raised the holy decree in her hand, looked up at the backyard, and said, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Zhu Gaochi's face was a little embarrassed, and he said in a low voice: "Lord Ru, my father is sick again, I have to go and take a look." ”

"Oh," Ru Yu came over to help support Zhu Gaochi: "Xiaguan will accompany the prince to take a look, it just so happens that the holy decree is also for the prince." ”

"Well, well, thank you, Lord Ru." Zhu Gaochi was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed.

After Ru Yu and Zhu Gaochi arrived in the backyard, they found that the servants in the courtyard were surrounding a person dressed in leather clothes, but this person was holding a long knife in his hand, chopping and chopping indiscriminately, and shouting: "Don't come, don't kill me, I'm cold, I'm cold." There was also a group of women standing next to her, led by Princess Xu, her face was full of worry and pain, and she kept shouting: "Prince, Prince, quickly snatch the prince's knife down, don't let the prince hurt himself." ”

But Zhu Di waved the knife and danced wildly, the momentum sank, no one dared to go up, or even if someone had the ability, they didn't dare to grab the knife, because if they wanted to grab the knife, it would hurt Zhu Di, so everyone watched Zhu Di dance the knife, almost two quarters of an hour, and finally Zhu Di was sweating profusely, but kept shouting cold, and finally Zhu Di's hand was soft, the knife fell to the ground, and Zhu Di's body shook, but fell to the knife.

Before everyone could react, the two figures next to them rushed up like lightning to support King Yan, and as soon as everyone's shouts were halfway through, they swallowed back, and then surrounded King Yan one after another. Princess Xu hugged Zhu Di's head, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and cried: "What the hell is going on?" Why did you suddenly get sick again? ”

Zhang Yu next to him knelt down and said, "Princess, the prince is sweating profusely, hurry up and call a doctor for treatment." ”

"Yes, hurry, hurry, come, help the prince to go to the back hall, call the doctor to diagnose and treat, hurry, hurry!"

Everyone hurriedly carried Zhu Di to the back, Princess Xu settled down and said: "Zhang Yu, Zhang Fu, you two have contributed to saving the prince, and when the prince wakes up, the palace will show the prince and will not forget your merits." ”

"Princess Xie."

Princess Xu looked up at her eldest son Zhu Gaochi, who was walking to the backyard with support, and sighed silently in her heart, this father and son, like this, what can I do in the future? But she swept her eyes to the side of Shizi, Ru Yu? What did he come to do?

After the doctor diagnosed and treated Zhu Di, the old disease recurred, and he was put to sleep with an injection.

After the matter was dealt with, Zhu Gaochi, Princess Xu and others received the decree in the front hall, and after Ru Yu read out the decree, everyone understood: It turned out that the Yanshan guards had a conspiracy, and the imperial court sent someone to arrest them. In addition, Ru Yu was sent to remind King Yan to take care of his subordinates.

After announcing the holy decree, Ru Yu handed the holy decree to Zhu Gaochi and said: "This matter is just a matter of some official schools, and it has nothing to do with the prince, the court just reminded the prince according to the custom, and has no other intentions." ”

Zhu Gaochi and the others nodded yes.

After the decree was announced, Zhu Gaochi arranged wine and food to drink with Ru Yu. Zhu Gaochi is dignified and quiet, has a moderate amount of words and deeds, and likes to read, so there is no obstacle to communicate with Ru Jin, and Ru Jin has something in his heart, so he drinks a little too much and chats more and more deeply.

Looking at Zhu Gaochi, who was talking eloquently and elegantly in front of him, he suddenly felt a little dazed and said with a smile: "I heard that the prince and the emperor are very familiar and have a very good relationship?" ”

"When he was a child, Gao Chi used to study in Beijing, when Emperor Xingzong was still there, Emperor Xingzong was kind and loving, and he loved his father and younger brothers, so Gao Chi was fortunate to study with Jinshang, who was filial piety and quick thinking, which can be called the dragon and phoenix among people, which is really the blessing of the Ming Dynasty."

Seeing Zhu Gaochi's very emotional appearance, Ru Yu secretly praised in his heart, after so many years of mixing officialdom, he had already heard Zhu Gaochi's extraneous voice, he studied in the early years and today, and the relationship was good, but now the monarch and the minister are different, and it is not suitable to talk about this matter. Zhu Gaochi's answer not only praised Jinshang's father and pointed out his kindness, filial piety and benevolence, but also insinuated Jinshang's hostility to the vassal king and satirized his unfilial piety, but in the end, people couldn't find any fault.

Ru Yu smiled and said: "The prince also has the legacy of Emperor Xingzong, and he is also kind and friendly to his younger brother, and his brother and brother are the blessings of the family." ”

"Hehe, it's okay, Gao Xu and Gao Sui are still young, and as the eldest brother in this world, he naturally wants to protect one or two."

The two were chatting, and Ru Yu suddenly said, "Is the prince really sick?" ”

"Of course...... It's true. Zhu Gaochi almost blurted out, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn't say anything.

However, Zhu Gaochi was also alert, he didn't drink much, and the conversation involuntarily slowly became cold.

Ru Yu didn't feel it, shook the cup and said: "Today, Ru Yu is fortunate to be able to drink with the prince, I don't know if there is no such opportunity in the future, alas! ”

"Lord Ru, Gao Chi is also very happy today, and I hope that my lord can come and go often in the future."

"No need, now that Song Zhong is in Beiping, he has come too much, and he will cause trouble for the prince."

"How so? Now that my father is seriously ill and is no longer able to lead the troops, is it possible that Jinyiwei still wants to create an unjust case? ”

Ru Yu wanted to speak and stopped, was stunned for a while, and said: "The official is not very clear, but Song Zhong came to Beiping, I'm afraid it may not be without a reason." ”

Zhu Gaochi looked at Ru Yu a little strangely, and said with a smile: "Lord Ru has drunk too much, he is merciful today, and Song Zhong doesn't dare to mess around." ”

"Kindness? Hehe, the son of the world is really merciful. As she spoke, Ru Yu chuckled lowly.

At this point, both of them lost interest, or courage, in continuing to talk in depth. Soon, Ru Yu got up to say goodbye, and Zhu Gaochi personally saw him off.

Walking out of the hall, Ru Yu looked at the chickens, ducks and geese in the fence inside the palace wall, and couldn't help laughing: "Shizi, is there still a lack of these foods in the Yanwang Mansion?" ”

"Alas," Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Now that my father is not on the council, most of the acquaintances in the army have been transferred outside the city, and there is no source of beef and mutton, coupled with the emperor's decree, Gao Chi did not dare to trouble his father's old subordinates anymore, so he had to raise some chickens, ducks and geese by himself, which was better than nothing, which made Lord Ru laugh." ”

"Well, it's a good idea, it can not only hide some noises, but also allow the guards to eat more meat and maintain their strength. That's good, it's good! ”

Zhu Gaozhi's color changed when he heard this, and he was about to speak, but he found that Ru Yu had already walked a few steps quickly and went to the chicken coop to observe. Zhu Gao was stunned, smiled, and let people follow him.

When he arrived at the door, Ru Yu turned around and said, "Shizi, the official can't come often in the future." ”

"Why? This prince still hopes that Lord Ru can come over often. ”

"I've been here too much, I'm afraid the prince's body won't be able to stand it."

"Huh?"

Before Zhu Gaochi could answer, Ru Yu said in a low voice: "Shizi, it's inconvenient for me to come, if Shizi has something, he can go directly to the political envoy's yamen to find me." ”

After speaking, Ru Yu got into the carriage and drove away.

Zhu Gaochi stood at the door, looking at the back of the carriage, thoughtful.
