Chapter 359: King Zhao made a temptation, and the Son of Heaven appointed his followers

Because he was worried about Zhu Di's words to Renshou Palace three days later, Zhang Yue got up early in the morning on this day, washed up and had breakfast, and was about to go out to the palace, but as soon as he got out of the courtyard, a little girl ran over like a gust of wind, saying that the palace had sent someone over. Puzzled, he rushed to the front, only to find an old face.

"Lord Zhang, let's meet again. Our family has now taken on the errand of Admiral Dongchang, and I am afraid that this will not be able to be done in the future, so I am afraid that this is the last time to pass the word. "People are in good spirits at happy events, Lu Feng finally got out of the way, and he was smiling at this time. After looking Zhang Yue up and down, he reminded, "The emperor is not seeing you in Renshou Palace today, so I will come over to inform you." Don't wear official uniforms, just find a piece of clothing that can ride a horse. ”

Horseback riding? Where is this going today?

Zhang Yue didn't expect to be able to get anything out of the mouth of Lu Feng, a eunuch, and he couldn't help but think about it when he went back all the way to change his clothes. Therefore, when Lingxi and Amber were busy rummaging in the chest, he ordered: "Don't just look for those silks and the like, I remember that in order to facilitate the practice of martial arts with Lao Peng, I specially made a royal blue cloud silk arrow sleeve, find out that one, and then take a pair of deerskin boots." Autumn Scar, you find the long sword and bow and arrow that I used when I practiced martial arts. ”

These few words frightened the three girls, but looking at Zhang Yue's leisurely appearance, it didn't seem like something big had happened, so they had to do it one by one. When Zhang Yue put on the arrow sleeves neatly, Qiu Zhen took the long sword and bow and arrow, and couldn't help asking: "Young master, aren't you going to enter the palace to face the saint, why does this look like you're going to war?" ”

"Just be prepared." Zhang Yue took the long sword and put it in his waist, and then took the Zhemu bow, because he said with a smile, "Don't worry, the emperor is either planning to go hunting in Weifu on a whim, or he is going to go to Beijing to have a look, I have to be ready." Otherwise, if the emperor gives me a strong bow with one stone and two stones, it will be a shame if I can't pull it away at that time. Don't worry, wait for me to come back. ”

Over there, Lu Feng waited for Zhang Yue in Ruiqing Hall, and after looking up and down, the complaint that originally came to his lips turned into an exclamation: "Lord Xiao Zhang, our family didn't say a word, how do you know that the emperor is going to go out of the city to Beijing today, and go hunting by the way?" ”

Zhang Yue smiled but didn't answer, such a small episode was like a small splash on the water, and it disappeared in a moment. He followed Lu Feng around the city of Beijing, and it took him two quarters of an hour to reach the ground, and then he found that Zhu Di, who was riding a tall horse, was surrounded by thirty or forty sturdy men, and Yuan Fang was among them. In addition, he also saw two other familiar faces - they were his brother-in-law Meng Jun and his second cousin Zhang Hui! Beside Zhang Hui, another tall and thin man in his early thirties was wearing a brocade robe full of rose-purple and rich patterns, wearing a sable fur, and his eyes kept glancing at him.

Seeing that Zhang Yue was about to step forward and salute, Zhu Di waved his hand: "Since they are all micro-clothes, there is no need to be polite." You are obedient and have changed into such clothes, but Lu Feng told you that this trip is hunting? ”

As soon as the words fell, the brocade-robed man in his early thirties smiled and said, "Didn't my father ask knowingly?" They went to Qingzhou to kill people together, and they went to Jiangnan to do things together, and it is normal for Xiao Luzi to wake up. Now that everyone has arrived, why don't you go? ”

Zhao ...... Third son, you have wronged the little one! Although he didn't get angry when he saw Zhu Di smiling, Lu Feng didn't know where he was charged with leaking the news, and hurriedly explained, "Master, when the little one went to Zhang Gongzi's place to deliver the message, he just said that he would casually change into a dress that could ride a horse, and he didn't say anything else." It was only when he came out in this one that the little one was amazed for a moment before he said that he leaked his mouth......"

"Okay, okay, he's always been very shrewd, I don't know him yet?" Zhu Di waved his horsewhip angrily, and then said to Zhang Yueyi, "Since you have preparations, it's best, you know everyone else, this is my third child, I have to salute and wait until I go back." The third child, don't pick on people without anything, since everyone is here, let's go! ”

Because he saw that the thin and tall man was wearing a sable fur coat, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Zhu Di, Zhang Yue had already guessed that it was about King Zhao. But guessing is speculation, and he noticed that Zhu Di's tone of speaking to Zhu Gaosui revealed a kind of father's affection for his son, which was not like his usual style, he was very surprised in his heart, and only woke up after everyone raised their whips and galloped on horseback, and hurriedly beat the horse to follow. He paid attention along the way, and saw that there were big men in civilian clothes at various intersections and other important places, and he knew that Yuan Fang, the commander of the brocade guard, had already made arrangements, after all, the emperor's micro-clothes travel was not a joke.

Winters in Beijing have always been cold, so since the beginning of the lunar month, only prisoners, craftsmen and other conscripts from all over the world have been requisitioned and rested. Those rich families who were drawn out of the south of the Yangtze River to enrich Beijing did not escape the conscription, and each family must have someone to serve as a servant, so when he went out of the city to slow down, Zhang Yue saw that there were many people working hard against the cold wind at the city wall, but he didn't notice that someone in front of him slowed down his horse, which happened to be parallel to his horse.

"The second child of my family once housed a family member, and the one in charge of the house was a prisoner who committed miscellaneous capital crimes, and he had to build a city wall on a cold day, and he took a few thousand yuan to redeem it. Zhang Yue, I heard that this family has some relationship with you, but seriously? ”

Only then did Zhang Yue notice that the person next to him was Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui. Among the three princes, he only saw the crown prince Zhu Gaochi once, although he didn't see anything, but combined with the history he knew, it was a master who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. And Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, only learned the same irritability and irritability as Zhu Di, but the emperor Lao Tzu saw people and things calmly and thoroughly, but he didn't learn it. As for Zhu Gaosui, who dealt with him for the first time today, he didn't want to have anything to do with the other party.

Although he still remembered the words of farewell to the family of three in the Daxiangguo Temple, and remembered that Meng Min was kind enough to save people for a while, Zhang Yue understood that this family of three had entered the palace. As soon as you enter the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea, let alone enter the palace. He ignored them, and they might be able to live in peace; If he pays attention to them, then it will be difficult to say whether this family of three will live or die in the future.

So he deliberately pretended to be confused: "The third prince forgives the sin, what you are talking about ......"

Zhu Gaosui frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "You forget a lot of things, it's not strange that you don't remember." That family is very good now, although the mother gave birth to a boy and didn't live there, but the second child of my family also happened to add a boy, so I used her as a nurse, and the girl who changed her name to Cuimo was sent to the fourth girl of the Meng family by the second child of my family. After all, Meng Xian has been with me for so many years, and now that he has lost his wife, the family is so uneasy, I always have to help him. ”

After saying this, Zhu Gaosui waved his horsewhip with a smile and caught up with Zhu Di and his party, who had already gone far ahead, and Zhang Yue, who was full of surprise, only stayed in place for a moment, and then whipped it fiercely on the horse's stock. Zhu Gaosui can say this kind of thing to him under Zhu Di's nose, so he is naturally not afraid of him to sue. In fact, even the Han King Zhu Gaoxu, who has such conclusive evidence of his crimes, can't help it, let alone Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, who has reined in some of his natures early and learned extremely well?

What's even more worrying is Meng Xian, who can't let go, doesn't this one know what is self-defeating?

Since it was said that it was hunting by the way, the group naturally went straight to the Beijing camp. When he arrived at the door, Yuan Fang took out the brocade guard and went to negotiate in person, and the defenders in front of the door were obedient and immediately went to inform Anyuan Hou Liusheng. After a while, Liu Sheng, who was dressed in military uniform, came out with a few relatives, and when he saw Zhu Di who was surrounded by heavy guards, he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly rushed forward, but he didn't dare to salute rashly.

"What, do you also want to learn from Zhou Yafu's fine willow camp?"

Liu Sheng was brave and coarse, but if he was coarse and fine, he would not have been able to rise all the way from the governor of the left army after the Battle of Jingjing, from earl to marquis. After the military salute, he said with a smile: "Don't say it's a military camp, the whole world is yours of the emperor, where can you go?" It's just that if you had said earlier, the minister would have gathered everyone to practice in the morning, and let you see how my Ming strong army has grown now! ”

"If you say that, you must be quite successful." Zhu Di didn't care about any hunting at the moment, and was very interested, "There are civil and martial arts who came today, since you boasted of Haikou, you should also let everyone see what soldiers you have trained." ”

"It's not that I have trained any soldiers, but what soldiers have been trained by the ministers according to the emperor's method." Liu Sheng glanced behind the emperor, and reluctantly found Zhang Yue, who was considered a civil official, but his eyes couldn't help but turn around several times on the cloud silk arrow sleeve, and he wondered in his heart, but then he threw these thoughts aside first, "The emperor said that the firearms held by the Shenji Battalion must be improved, and the method of its battle formation must also be carefully considered. Chen Tian Tian asked them to improve the firecracker behind those people in the Ordnance Bureau, and recently there were finally a few new gadgets, and the drill of the Shenji Battalion was much stronger than before. ”

Hearing this, not only were the others full of interest, but even Zhang Yue was curious. Of course, he knew that the Ming Dynasty at this time had a war-loving emperor Zhu Di, so he was not merciless in the use of troops - although humanity was reckless, but the overkill in the later period was even more undesirable in his opinion - he really wanted to know what good things and good tactics there were in the Shenji Battalion. However, unexpectedly, after turning his head to look around, the emperor pointed at him and Yuan Fang.

"Zhang Yue and Yuan Fang took two brocade guards to go to the Shenji Camp with me to have a look, and the third child took the others to hunt, and I want to see how you get at noon."
