(Thank you for the monthly pass of "Jiushu Breaking the World"!) ）

(Yesterday, a fool named daman2 read pirated books and came to the forum to scold me, and he didn't want to deal with him at first, but he was justified in reading pirated books, and he said that watching pirated books was to give me face, and the books I wrote didn't reach the point where he needed to spend money!) It's really anyone, saying that the three views I wrote are not correct, uncle, I am the author, not your father! How can you write one and worry about whether your three views are correct or not? If you want to watch the news simulcast! What a nervous disorder! ）

Zhu Hongsan had been on the boat for several days, but he was still quite tired, and he had something on his mind, so he planned to go back to the palace to rest first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, go back if you don't have anything to do, I need to take a rest when I'm tired! So be it, like smoke! You can arrange for everyone to have dinner in your Yong'an Palace tonight, and all the princes in Beijing will be found! Right! Summoned Zhu Luo and Zhu Yu too, I haven't seen them for a long time, and I miss them a little! ”

Zhu Hongsan was just about to leave after speaking, Zhu Yujiao was talking on the side, she wanted to ask about Zhu Youlang's situation.

Zhu Yujiao's movements happened to let Zhu Hongsan see it, and Zhu Hongsan asked, "Princess, why is there still something?" ”

"Your Majesty, there is something about the concubine!"

"It's just right, you're on my royal chariot, I'm going back to sleep, you can accompany me!"

As soon as Zhu Hongsan's words came out, Ma Ruyan and Qian Yuting immediately burst into jealous eyes, but they didn't expect to lure the wolf into the room today, which made Zhu Yujiao come out on top.

After Zhu Yujiao sat down on the imperial chariot, she asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, can this battle of Yungui be successful in capturing King Gui?" ”

Zhu Yujiao asked Zhu Hongsan to know what was going on, patted Zhu Yujiao's little white hand and said, "I didn't go to Yunnan, I sent Li Chengdong over there." But don't worry, I have already told Li Chengdong that I will do my best to ensure the safety of King Gui. But beauty, you know, the battlefield is ever-changing, and no one can guarantee anything! ”

Zhu Hongsan couldn't help Zhu Yujiao when he said this, he knew that his husband was ruthless, and probably King Gui's life would be lost.

Zhu Yujiao thought of her life experience from King Gui, and couldn't help but bow her head and weep. Zhu Hongsan couldn't see a woman crying the most, so he hurriedly asked, "What is the beauty crying about?" Didn't I guarantee Zhu Youlang's safety? ”

Zhu Yujiao shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that it was a delusion just now. Just now, the concubine remembered my father and mother! Is Your Majesty going to the Northern Expedition? Can I take my concubine with me? The concubine wants to worship the mausoleum of her father and mother! And the search for the whereabouts of several brothers! ”

It turned out that she was homesick, Zhu Hongsan was right to think about it, Zhu Yujiao has been in the palace since she was born, and it has been more than ten years since she was abducted to Guangdong by herself, and it is normal to be homesick.

"Good! I promised you that I would take you with me during the Northern Expedition, but the whereabouts of your imperial brother and several younger brothers are not easy to find, and now the army is in chaos, who knows where they went! Zhu Hongsan didn't dare to say that Chongzhen's crown prince and the two princes were killed by him, so he had to deceive Zhu Yujiao.

Zhu Yujiao stopped crying when she heard the emperor say this, and began to serve Zhu Hongsan.

Just when Zhu Hongsan's wives and concubines were intriguing, in the Tong Yangjia Mansion in Nanjing City, Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, was anxiously waiting for his cheap grandfather Tong Yangjia to come back.

Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, thought that he gave birth to a grandson for his father today, and his father should be very happy, but he didn't know that his father didn't show his happiness, but just gave a name casually and it was over. So Zhu Huai decided to come back from the dock to find his cheap grandfather Tong Yangjia, and asked him to help him come up with an idea of how to compete for favor in front of his father.

Tong Yangjia came back from the dock in a sedan chair, and as soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw the vermilion prince's sedan chair of the king of Chu, and knew that the king of Chu was here again.

At the same time, there is a small sedan chair in Tsing Yi carried by two people on the side, who is this? Tong Yangjia's strength was greatly damaged by Ma Jiyuan's blow two years ago, and now except for a few remaining henchmen, no one has come to see him at all.

"Butler, whose sedan chair is that?"

"Master, it's the second master's sedan chair!"

Oh! It turned out that Tong Tuchang was here. Tong Tuchang has been living in Beijing since he was dismissed, Tong Yangjia told him to keep a low profile, and now he has sat in the most ordinary two-person sedan chair, he should go to his heart.

"Master, the king of Chu and the second master have already come, and they are all waiting in the study!"

Tong Yangjia nodded, went to the inner room to change clothes first, and then went to the study to see the two.

When Zhu Huai saw Tong Yangjia enter the house, he quickly stood up and said, "Grandpa, you are finally back!" Come and help Ben King! ”

Tong Yangjia had already seen what was going on on the dock just now, and knew that Zhu Huai was letting himself come up with ideas on how to compete for favor, so he didn't answer him, but asked Tong Tuchang first: "Tuchang, why are you here?" ”

After all, Tong Tuchang had been a governor, so he was still a little deep, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, is there something abnormal about the emperor coming back?" ”

"Oh? How do you know? ”

"The nephew saw that his uncle was full of sadness, and the king of Chu asked his uncle to help, so the nephew probably should have something on the emperor's side!"

Hearing his nephew say this, Tong Yangjia is very pleased, it seems that this nephew still has some eyesight.

"You're right, but I don't know what it is, the emperor's expression is a little wrong!"

"Uncle, do you have any information from the Jinyi Guard?"

"Not yet, the people who are following the emperor are people from Dongchang, and Jinyiwei's information has to be taken by land, which is not as fast as the waterway, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to receive it!"

Zhu Huai reacted when he heard Tong Yangjia say this: "I see, no wonder my father was absent-minded when he named his son this king!" ”

Zhu Huai thought for a while and asked, "Grandpa, now that my father is back, can my grandfather teach this king how to compete for the throne!" ”

Tong Yangjia was angry when he saw such a stupid grandson, is the big position so contentious? Just because you drink and play every day, women still want to compete for a big position? Look at what the crown prince and the king of Qin did. One is good at government affairs and the other is good at military affairs, what are you good at?

But Tong Yangjia couldn't say this in front of Zhu Huai, after all, he was not his own grandson, and he had no half-dime blood relationship.

Tong Yangjia suppressed the anger in his heart and said earnestly: "Your Highness, the big position is not fought for, it is made!" If Your Highness wants that position, drink less wine and play less with women, and put your mind on learning is the right way! ”

Zhu Huai is cruel, if someone in the mansion says that he is absurd and unreasonable, he must not die well. But he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Tong Yangjia. Hearing Tong Yangjia say this, although he was not satisfied in his heart, he still asked: "Grandfather, grandson knows how to do it!" But what if my father doesn't want to see this king? You saw it all on the dock just now, what name was given to the king's son! Why did you give Zhu Hai's two sons such good names? ”

Speaking of this, the more Zhu Huai spoke, the more angry he became, and he stood up and scolded: "That damn Zhu Hai, relying on his grandson, dared to beat the king's ass, and finally came to buy people's hearts!" After this king seizes the throne, he must be the first to kill Zhu Hai! Then kill the Ma family! ”

At this moment, there was a soft knock at the door: "Knock! Boom! ”

"Lord Wang! Rajah! It's an old slave! ”

Zhu Huai was happy to scold, but he was very annoyed when he was interrupted, and scolded: "What are you doing? Didn't this king say that there is nothing to do and not to disturb this king? ”

"The old slave knows, but just now there was a holy decree in the palace, tonight the emperor will hold a family banquet in Yong'an Palace, and all the princes in Beijing are required to participate! The old slave is this. ”

Before the old eunuch finished speaking, Zhu Huai had already opened the door and asked, "Is it?" Hurry! Go back home with this king, and this king must be well prepared! And inform the princess that she should bring the king's son with her! After Zhu Huai finished speaking, he didn't say hello to Tong Yangjia and Tong Tuchang, and rushed out of the door with the old eunuch.

Seeing Zhu Huai like this, Tong Tuchang sighed and said, "Uncle, this King of Chu is not a little bit different from the crown prince and the king of Qin, and he is really not a good candidate!" ”

Tong Yangjia can't help it, he has now gotten on the ship of the King of Chu, and it is not easy to get off the boat. Even if the prince can let him go, the Ma family will not let him go.

"Uncle, isn't there a suitable candidate among Your Majesty's other princes?"

Zhu Hongsan now has a total of seven sons, the adult ones are the crown prince Zhu Hai, the king of Qin Zhu Jiang, and the king of Chu Zhu Huai, in addition to these three, there is also the fourth son of the emperor Zhu Hao, who was originally born to Chen Zizhuang's niece, and was later adopted by Bian Yujing after being deposed, and is six years old this year. There is also the fifth son of the emperor, Zhu Yuan, who was born to Zhu Yujiao, who is just five years old this year. The sixth son of the emperor, Zhu Lian, born to Zhu Youjia, is five years old this year. The seventh son of the emperor, Zhu Xun, born to Qian Yuting, is just four years old this year.

Tong Yangjia thought for a moment, except for the three adults, the other princes all stood behind their respective families. Needless to say, Chen Zizhuang and Qian Qianyi are from the Guangdong Dashi clan and the other is from the Nanzhili Dashi clan, and their respective strength is not inferior to Tong Yangjia. The other two were born to the princess and the county lord of the previous dynasty, and their status is valuable enough, but they must not become successors.

Zhu Hongsan's name now is that the former Ming Emperor has no way, and now he is doing it, so it is useless to degrade the former Ming Emperor except Zhu Yuanzhang in all official documents. If you choose a successor with the royal blood of the former Ming Dynasty, you can't let Zhu Hongsan accept it at all. Therefore, Zhu Yujiao and Zhu Youjia's son must only be a Prince of Taiping.

Tong Yangjia thought for a long time and sighed and said, "Hey! This King of Chu learned His Majesty's ruthlessness, but forgot that His Majesty still has the capacity to tolerate people. But you and my uncle and nephew can't help it, can they still get off the boat when they are already on the boat? We can only go to the dark with the King of Chu, he succeeded in our chicken and dog ascending to heaven, and if we don't succeed, we will never recover! ”

Tong Tuchang thought about it for a while: "Uncle, if you want the King of Chu to ascend to the throne, you can only squeeze out the Ma family, what good way does your uncle have?" ”

"Now that the Ma family is powerful, I'll talk about this later! Do you have something to do today? ”

"Uncle, is the emperor going to go on a northern expedition when he comes back today?"

"That's right! On the dock, the emperor has already stated that he will swear to the Northern Expedition after the spring of March tomorrow! ”

Tong Tuchang's eyes lit up when he heard the news, and he said: "Uncle, in this way, the northern provinces must need a large number of official positions, can they be little nephews. ”

Tong Tuchang has been at home for the past three years, and today he heard that the emperor came back to find his uncle, ready to start anew.

"Don't worry, there should be no problem! After all, the matter of peace talks was decided by the emperor back then, you just took the blame for the emperor, and now that the Northern Expedition is coming, you should also recover! ”

Tong Tuchang was very happy to hear his uncle's assurance, and chatted a few more words before leaving and going home.
