Although the climate in the south is humid and there are many rivers, those rivers are small. The rivers in the north are rugged and strong, and the rivers in the south are delicate girls; The rivers in the north are giant pythons, and the rivers in the south are slender earthworms. As a southerner, Zhou Xing has never had the experience of taking a boat since he was a child. But the sand boat was unusually stable, and Zhou Xing did not feel seasick.

When Cao Cao crossed the river to the south, because the northern soldiers were not familiar with the water, he made a chain warship, and was burned clean by Zhuge Liang. If there had been a sand boat at that time, I am afraid that history would have been rewritten. The good thing is that if things never happen, time is fair for everyone.

Zhou Xing stood on the deck, looking at the surging river, the wind blowing across his face. Inexplicably, he actually liked this feeling.

"This is probably what it feels like 'the deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night'."

"Zhou Xing, hurry up and tell me the story." Zhou Xing was about to recite a poem, but Zhu Gaoxu couldn't wait to destroy Zhou Xing's long-brewing mood.

This guy, in order to listen to Zhou Xing's story, did not hesitate to follow all the way south from Beiping to Nanjing.

In 1356 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led his troops to attack Jiqing in three ways, and it took ten days to break through Jiqing, and changed Jiqing to Yingtian. In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor in Yingtian, and in the same year, Yingtian was changed to Nanjing, which was the beginning of the ancient Jinling called Nanjing.

About this city, Zhou Xing's most familiar story is the "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

Zhou Xing looked back and saw that Zhu Di was in the boat and did not come out. He sat cross-legged on the overtime, leaned against the side of the boat, and said, "Where did we talk about it last time?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu quickly replied: "It seems that last time he said something, 'I was still born by the Tang King Zunshan Fruit, and the lonely soul Xiao Yu was empty'. ”

Zhou Xing thought about it carefully, almost couldn't think of it, and then suddenly remembered that this should be the paragraph where Tang Seng appeared, so he smiled and said: "Ah, yes, then let's talk about the golden cicada today." ”

"Who is the golden cicada?" Zhu Gaoxu's face was full of doubts. What about the Monkey King? It's been a long time since I've played. Ever since the havoc in the Heavenly Palace...... Oh yes, that Monkey King is now crushed under Wuzhi Mountain.

Zhou Xing smiled: "It's Jiang Liu'er." ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked bitter and said, "Why do you talk about him again?" Let's talk about how Sun Wukong came out from under Wuzhi Mountain. ”

He likes to listen to the story of the Monkey King, he likes the lawlessness of that guy, and he thinks that the Monkey King is very similar to himself.

Zhou Xing said in a serious tone; "Second Young Master, why are you still so impatient? said that I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. You see, there can't be only one Sun Dasheng in a story. Besides, now that your Sun Dasheng is still under the Five Elements Mountain, I have to send someone to rescue him. ”

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately turned from sadness to joy, and said: "So that's the case, hehe, I know, you go on." ”

*************************************

In the cabin, Zhu Di, who had already arranged various matters, sat on his bed, looking at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhou Xing who were chatting happily on the deck through the carved window.

"These days, both of them are like this?" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said to Zheng He, who was standing beside him.

Zheng He said: "Yes, sometimes the eldest prince occasionally goes to chat with Zhou Xing, as if he is talking about the right pair. ”

"He's a pair with Chi'er? So what does he say to Xu'er? Last time you said, were you telling a story? Zhu Di felt a little surprised, could it be that Zhou Xing is a guy, he can do anything?

has an accurate grasp of the current situation, bold conjectures for the future, pairs with Zhu Gaochi, and tells stories with Zhu Gaochu. It's hard to imagine what a teenage civilian could do.

"Yes, it's the story of Xuanzang's westward journey, but listening to the second son, the story of Xuanzang's westward journey told by Zhou Xing is better than what the storyteller outside said." Zheng He replied.

Zhu Di was noncommittal, and said, "Has he checked his bottom carefully?" ”

Zheng He said: "Check it out, the ancestral home of Xintianying, and then the family went north, rooted in Beiping a hundred years ago, when he was young, there was a show talent in the family, and he flourished for a while, and then the family fell into the middle of the road, he lived on the streets, and worked on the dock. According to the people on the docks, he was often in a state of confusion, earning a few pennies a day to eat, and he was reluctant to work. Later, a few days ago, he suddenly seemed to be a different person, not only making a lot of money from the restaurant, but also redeeming his free body. Some speculate that he is the prodigal son. You'll know what happened next. ”

For such an ordinary person, there is really no information to check. The most important thing is that there has been a talent show in his family recently, which is a very important material to prove the innocence of Zhou Xing's family. After all, in order to gain fame, you must have three generations without committing a crime.

"Well, got it, you go down first." Zhu Di said.

"Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing, Yao Guangxiao was given to me by my father, and Zheng Sanbao was given to me by my father. It's just you who aren't, and I hope you don't let me down. ”

Zhu Di muttered softly, then got up and walked to the deck.

On the deck, Zhou Xing just gave Zhu Gaoxu a look back.

"It turns out that this golden cicada is the one who rescued Sun Wukong, this arrangement is really wonderful."

For this interlocking story, Zhu Gaoxu has been deeply attracted.

Zhou Xing was about to speak, but found Zhu Di coming over, quickly got up, bowed slightly, and saluted.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said with a smile: "Here, don't have so many etiquette, just be casual." What are you talking about, Xu'er? How do you make you happy like this? ”

Zhu Gaoxu naturally told Zhu Di and did not hide anything: "Father, Zhou Xing is telling me the story of Sun Wukong." ”

Zhou Xing hurriedly defended and said: "It is the story of the Tang King sending Tang monk Xitian to learn scriptures." ”

Zhu Di didn't say anything, and then asked, "Where did you go?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu replied like a stream: "Speaking of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he was pressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, and the golden cicada was reincarnated as a Tang monk, and he was about to go to the Five Elements Mountain to rescue Sun Wukong." ”

"Oh. Okay, you go elsewhere first, I want to say a few words to Zhou Xing. Zhu Di said to Zhu Gaoxu.

Waiting for Zhu Gaoxu to leave, Zhu Di held the side of the boat with both hands, looked at the river, and whispered: "Do you know why I only brought you here and didn't bring Yao Guangxiao?" ”

Zhou Xing's heart froze, and his brain quickly turned. Although he thought of a few possibilities, he didn't say anything in the end, but shook his head slightly, and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan arranged it like this, which naturally has a deep meaning, and the grass people are stupid and can't guess it." ”

Zhou Xing has recently learned a few more tricks, one of which is that seeing through it without saying it is the best policy.

"Before, you even dared to say such a thing as cutting the domain, why don't you dare to say it now?" Zhu Di's smile did not decrease, but his tone was much stiffer.

Zhou Xing said: "I guess I'm old." The older I get, the less courageous I become. In the early years, climbing trees and digging birds' nests was no problem. Now I don't dare to go up the tree. ”

Zhu Di scolded with a smile: "! It's only been a few days, and you don't dare to say it? He looked up at the sky, sighed, and said, "Actually, I know, but I still like you to talk about it." ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan, in fact, I am also very puzzled, why His Royal Highness King Yan only brought me one this time. This is what I mean from the heart. ”

Yao Guangxiao was almost a person who stayed around Zhu Di before, but he had not been seen in the past two days, which had to make Zhou Xing speculate.

Zhu Di said: "Do you know? How did Yao Guangxiao come to me? ”

Zhou Xing shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

This is also true.

Zhu Di's eyes were slightly misty, as if he recalled something a long time ago.

"Let's talk about Yao Guangxiao first. In the eighth year of Hongwu, the emperor ordered monks who were proficient in Confucian books to take the examination in the Ministry of Rites, and Yao Guangxiao was summoned to Beijing as a Confucian monk, but he was not awarded the monk's office, but was only given monk's clothes. In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, after the recommendation of the monk Lu Si Right Jueyi and the right good Shizong Xi, he entered the Tianjie Temple and sought a monkhood. ”

Zhou Xing didn't know this, he was not a person who studied history.

Zhu Di continued: "In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the queen died of illness, and my father chose a senior monk to serve the kings, chanting and praying for blessings. At that time, Yao Guangxiao was recommended by the monk Lu Si Zuoshan Shizong Xi to participate in the puja. At the meeting, I met him for the first time. He came to me and we talked very speculatively. ”

Is it the Yan King that Yao Guangxiao took the initiative to find?

This made Zhou Xing unexpected. It is said that Yao Guangxiao once worshipped the Taoist priest Xi Yingzhen as a teacher and learned the number of yin and yang techniques. In other words, this guy can look at it.

Why didn't he look for anyone at that time, but he looked for this Yan King? At that time, the prince was still there, wouldn't it be better to find the prince?

Zhou Xing pondered the mystery.

"Later, I was named the king of Yan by my father, but Yao Guangxiao took the initiative to ask to go north to Beiping with me. After arriving in Beiping, I asked him to be the abbot of Qingshou Temple......"

Zhou Xing listened to Zhu Di's story about Yao Guangxiao, but there were more and more doubts in his heart. There are two main points in his doubts.

First, when the festival was held, it was certain that all the princes and even the crown prince would appear, why didn't Yao Guangxiao go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had a more noble identity and moved half of his ass to the throne? Instead, he found Zhu Di, the fourth child?

You must know that according to the order of brother and brother, even if Zhu Biao is dead, there will be Zhu Rong, King of Qin, Zhu Li, King of Jin Gong, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

Second, why did Zhu Di tell himself this today?

In fact, for Zhou Xing, the second question is more urgent than the first. How Yao Guangxiao got to his current position step by step has nothing to do with Zhou Xing's half a dime. Zhou Xing is now wondering why Zhu Di is telling him this.

After talking about Yao Guangxiao's life experience, Zhu Di changed his words and said: "No matter what you say, he came to me through the consent of his father. You, on the other hand, are not. ”

Zhou Xing listened, and suddenly "the tiger's body was shocked".
