Chapter 531 Return to Beijing

As soon as Qian Sunai's words came out, Wang Deren was overjoyed, and he was still a little worried about whether he would be unlucky to go to Nanjing, but now there is no problem with the prince and the old man of Qian Ge!

After Qian Sunai finished speaking, he laughed in a low voice: "Lord Wang, you see that the little nephew will tell you something, will you also give me some benefits?" I heard that the prince has a very good income here in Jiujiang! ”

Wang Deren was even more relieved when he heard Qian Sunai say this, and if he was willing to bribe, it would mean that Qian Sunai would definitely be able to do things for himself, was it nothing more than a little silver, Jiujiang is the thoroughfare of nine provinces, hundreds of merchant ships docked every day, and the bribes sent out can be recovered in a few months.

Wang Deren laughed: "Okay! This king likes you, the eldest nephew, don't worry, isn't it just some money? After Wang Deren finished speaking, he ordered to go down and ask his soldiers to take five thousand taels of silver back to his home and hand them over to Qian Sun Ai.

Wang Deren's wish was fulfilled, so he did not disturb the prince, and after the fleet was replenished at Jiujiang Wharf, Wang Deren disembarked and returned home, and the prince and his party continued to hurry.

Zhu Hai watched Jiujiang City go away, and asked Qian Sunai in a low voice: "Zigao, why did you promise Wang Deren, didn't we say that we would not agree to him or not?" ”

Qian Sunai smiled and said: "Your Highness, the minister estimates that Wang Deren will hang in Nanjing this time, anyway, he will die, this silver can't be cheap to others, it's better to give it to us!" ”

"But what about what I promised him? What if he said it in front of his father? ”

"Say it? Let's see, if His Majesty the Emperor can trust him as an outsider or believe in his own son! Your Highness, don't worry, it is estimated that Wang Deren will not even be able to see the face of the emperor! ”

After Qian Sunai finished speaking, he ignored Zhu Hai and asked his family to collect five thousand taels of silver. Zhu Hai's eunuchs looked at Zhu Hai, what do we mean?

Zhu Hai looked at the twenty boxes of gold and silver, and had no choice but to wave his hand and let the eunuch put it away.

After three days of sailing, the fleet soon entered Nanzhili, but now Nanzhili has been changed by Zhu Hongsan to Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, and the seat of Anhui Province is in Anqing.

Anqing is an important town on the Yangtze River and the last line of defense in Nanjing, and it is still a day's journey from Nanjing. Because of the importance of Anqing, this place is the only city located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, but under the control of Zhu Hongsan, where a regiment of Qian Yong is garrisoned, which is a nail for Zhu Hongsan on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Six days after leaving Wuchang, Zhu Hai and his entourage finally came to Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the current capital of the Shenwu Dynasty.

The fleet docked at the Jinchuanmen Wharf outside, and the ambassador guarding the gate had already seen the scepter of the Son of Heaven of the fleet, and hurriedly rode into the palace to report to the emperor Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan used his own Son of Heaven honor guard for the crown prince, but Zhu Haina dared to use it, and could only wait for his father's will on the boat.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Son of Heaven had to go through Zhengyangmen when he returned to the palace, and the prince did not have a rule, so Zhu Hai couldn't say what his father meant.

Waijinchuan Gate is more than 20 miles away from the imperial city, and Zhu Hai and his party dare not move without a will, so they can only stay on the ship and wait.

But the wait was not long, and an hour later the eunuch who had announced the decree came.

"Fengtian carrier, ordered the prince Zhu Hai to use the Son of Heaven's honor guard to enter the city from Zhengyang Gate!" After the little eunuch finished reading it, he smiled at Zhu Hai and said, "Master, the emperor's grace, please enter the palace!" ”

As soon as Zhu Hai heard that he let himself go to Zhengyang Gate, how could this work, Zhu Hai knelt on the ground and didn't get up at all, and said to the little eunuch: "This father-in-law, please reply to your father, the sons dare not cross the border, the Son of Heaven's guard of honor and the Zhengyang Gate enter the palace are not in accordance with the etiquette law, please ask the father to take back his order, and the sons can go to other city gates!" ”

The little eunuch was also very embarrassed when he saw that the prince did not accept the order, but Zhu Hai knelt there dead or alive and did not obey the order, and the little eunuch had no choice but to ride back to the palace again and report to the emperor Zhu Hongsan that he knew.

Zhu Hongsan is worried about state affairs, hearing that Zhu Hai does not enter the city, he is amused, it seems that his son is older and knows to be cautious, which is a good thing.

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said to the little eunuch: "You go and talk to the prince, let him make his own decision!" ”

The little eunuch had no choice but to get on the horse again and go out to deliver a message to Zhu Hai.

Zhu Hai secretly breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the will of his father Zhu Hongsan on the boat, and ordered people to start preparing to get off the ship, and the first step was to enter the palace to meet his father.

After the prince reduced his four-seater carriage by two, the prince Zhu Hai entered the Waijinchuan Gate in a two-horse carriage, and at the same time, the honor guard was reduced from 3,600 to 1,200, everything was reduced by double the prince's honor guard, and he tried to keep a low profile.

Qian Sunai sat in the carriage behind the prince and followed into the city, this time with the prince into the city, naturally no one dared to ask for the entrance fee, and from the Jinchuan Gate to the imperial city Hongwu Gate on the road all stood Jinyi guards, idle people are not allowed to walk, so the speed of travel is very fast, less than half an hour to the main gate of the imperial city Hongwu Gate.

Entering the Hongwu Gate is the Fengtian Gate of the palace city, and then entering is the Fengtian Hall and other three major halls, but because the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied the Ming Imperial Palace, some wood was used to repair the private house, and the Ming Dynasty has been in disrepair for more than 200 years, one of the three major halls of the Fengtian Hall has been destroyed in the fire, the emperor is now working in the Wenhua Hall on the edge of the three major halls, and it has become the center of the entire Shenwu Dynasty.

Qian Sunai said goodbye to Zhu Hai in Hongwumen, and he had to go home to report safety to Qian Qianyi.

Zhu Hai watched Qian Sunai get into the carriage and go home, Zhu Hai took a deep breath and went to see his father, Zhu Hongsan, with the brocade guards guarding the palace.

Zhu Hai came to the gate of the Wenhua Hall and stopped, and the little yellow door at the door of the main hall saw that the prince was coming, and shouted loudly: "The prince is here!" Then one by one, it was passed to the ears of Zhu Hongsan, who was working in the Wenhua Palace. It didn't take long for news to come out of it, letting Zhu Hai in.

Zhu Hai didn't know how to explain to his father, so he followed the little yellow door into the Wenhua Hall with apprehension.

The Wenhua Hall is said to be a large hall, but it is not actually a building, but a building complex dominated by the Wenhua Palace. The main hall is a Wenhua hall composed of six rooms, and the other apse is called the main worship hall, and the regulation is slightly similar to the Wenhua hall and the depth is slightly shallow. The front and rear halls are connected by corridors. The east and west side halls are respectively the Benren Hall and the Jiyi Hall. The entire complex has a total of twenty-one rooms, and is now the main office of Emperor Zhu Hongsan.

Entering the imperial study room in the Wenhua Palace, Emperor Zhu Hongsan of Shenwu was correcting the reports from various provinces. Zhu Hai didn't dare to raise his head when he entered the house, first knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhu Hongsan three times, and then stood up and said loudly: "Father, the son is back!" ”。

Zhu Hongsan saw the prince come in, put down the zhu pen in his hand and smiled: "Prince, how is it?" What did you learn from this trip? ”

Zhu Hai heard Zhu Hongsan ask, and hurriedly put himself this year

The situation of joining the army and fighting was detailed with his father, but the prince was afraid that Xiang Rong'er would not be able to explain it, so he did not tell about it.

Listening to his son's interesting story, Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Son, do you know why I let you out?" The crown prince has always been the capital of the country, and he has not said that he has left Beijing easily, but as my heir, if you don't understand the following things, won't you be deceived in the future? So I asked you to join the army, do you know my hard work? ”

Zhu Hai hurriedly nodded his head and said: "Erchen knows that he did not understand the people's sufferings around his father before, but after this year's experience, he found that it is really different from what is said in the books, no wonder there is a saying that "it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles"! ”

Zhu Hongsan saw that his son had grown a lot taller in the past year, he was about the same height as himself, but he had also lost a lot of weight, and his face was tanned, but he had a strong demeanor. Zhu Hongsan saw that his son was now an adult, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his son had also grown up.

Zhu Hongsan stood up from behind the desk, walked up to Zhu Hai, patted Zhu Hai's shoulder with his hand, and said with a smile: "Good guy, you look very strong, and the food in the army looks good!" ”

Zhu Hai said with a smile: "The food is no problem, there is meat at every meal, but the amount of exercise is very large, or Erchen can gain a few pounds!" ”

"Son, you remember, these brothers in the army are fighting for my Ming Dynasty, I can't let them shed blood and tears, eating this aspect is the best solution, in the future, after these people are discharged from the army, I will give them land and official positions, I have to send women if I don't have a woman, and I will eat meat if I follow Lao Tzu!" Zhu Hongsan's words rose, and for a while, the spoken words came out again.

Zhu Hai saw that his father was in a good mood, and secretly planned to talk about Xiang Rong'er now, so as to avoid being passive after his father knew about it in the future.

"What my father said is that because the soldiers ate well, outside Nanchang City, our army broke Duoduo's hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers with 15,000 people, and Duoduo was also beheaded by Ma Liang!"

"Nanchang War Lao Tzu also knows, I heard that you fought very hard, and you were almost injured?"

Hearing Zhu Hongsan's question, Zhu Hai knew that the opportunity had come, and quickly knelt down and said, "Father, please spare your son from the death penalty of disobeying the order!" ”

Zhu Hongsan naturally knew what Zhu Hai was talking about, and as soon as the ship docked, he received news from Dongchang that the errand of Xiang Rong'er was not completed because the prince blocked it.

"Tell me, what capital crime do you have?"

Zhu Hai listened to Zhu Hong's three words in a bad tone, and he didn't know the bottom in his heart, but the matter has come to this point, don't say no.

"Father, what the sons are talking about is Xiang Rong'er, Xiang Rong'er and her adoptive father Xiang Laosan saved their sons outside Nanchang City, Xiang Laosan blocked a few knives for his sons, and Xiang Rong'er also blocked an arrow for his sons, without their father, they wouldn't be able to see their sons! Xiang Laosan entrusted Xiang Rong'er to his sons before he died, didn't his father often teach his sons to repay their kindness? So Erchen can only take in Xiang Rong'er! When Dongchang went to Wuchang to preach the decree, Xiang Rong'er was already two months pregnant, and the son thought that this was the first grandchild of his father, so he made his own opinion to resist the decree and asked his father to punish him! ”

Zhu Hongsan turned around and pulled Zhu Hai up and asked, "Do you know who this Xiang Rong'er is?" ”

Zhu Hai was stunned by Zhu Hongsan's question, thought for a long time and said: "Father, my son heard Xiang Rong'er say that she is also from Wuchang County, and her real surname seems to be Guo!" The rest of the retainers don't know! ”
