Chapter 16: Jinling, I'm Here (I)
Zhu Yunwen looked at this Huang Yanxiu, dignified, really heroic, and happy, and had the idea of choosing a royal marriageable person to marry Huang Yanxiu, but this idea just flashed in his head and was put aside.
Huang Yanxiu sat next to his father, looking unhappy, he didn't like these occasions, all the people present were sanctimonious, with his father being the most.
Huang Zicheng felt his son's dissatisfaction, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart, just messing around on weekdays, and he didn't restrain himself in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he was really angry with me!
"Report! Beiping Express! ”
The sound of the guards outside the hall made the lively hall suddenly silent, saying that there is a rule in the Beiping Emergency Imperial Court, which is not a particularly important matter, and it is not allowed to be reported, and once it is reported, it must be a big event.
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Huang Zicheng, Huang Zicheng nodded solemnly, and Zhu Yunwen said loudly, "Send it in!" ”
"No!" The guards outside the door bowed their bodies, held a piece of music, and walked quickly into the main hall, and the personal eunuch took the music, and the guard bowed and turned to leave.
Zhu Yunwen took the fold, his face instantly changed several colors, and he gritted his teeth, "Sir, come and see!" ”
The eunuch took the fold and handed it to Huang Zicheng.
Huang Zicheng opened the fold, and the first sentence shook Huang Zicheng's body.
"The minister Zhu Di knocked on my emperor, "This turned out to be Zhu Di's recital!" Zhu Di's recital was actually delivered to the court through the news channels of the imperial court. Huang Zicheng swallowed his saliva, could it be that Beiping has fallen?!
"The first emperor died, the minister felt very sad, but he was unwell, it was difficult to go south, and he specially ordered Beiping to inspect Qi Jing to escort the son of the minister, Gao Chi and Gao Xu entered Beijing to condole, and I hope that the emperor will agree! By the way, Lord Huang's butler was attacked by the enemy in Beiping and was seriously wounded, and the minister had ordered Qi Jing to escort him into Beijing. ”
Huang Zicheng closed the fold with difficulty, "King Yan, what a good means!" ”
"Sir······ Yes or no? ”
Huang Zicheng took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, of course you have to agree!" With Zhu Di's two sons in his hands, he didn't dare to do anything! ”
Zhu Yunwen nodded when he heard this.
——————
Yanwang's Mansion is particularly lively today, everyone is busy, what are you busy with?! Of course, it was for the prince and the king of the county to go south.
Most of the palace guards were all with them, and the "Beiping Special Combat Team" was all with them.
The noise is isolated from the study.
In the study, Qi Jing, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaochu stood in front of Zhu Di, waiting for Zhu Di's last request before leaving.
Zhu Di looked at the three of them with complicated eyes, his face was ruddy, and he was not as seriously ill as the legend in the outside world.
"I won't say much about the danger of this trip, Gao Chi, Gao Xu, you must listen to Qi Jing!"
"Children obey their father's teachings!"
Zhu Di nodded, "You two go down first, I have something to say to Qi Jing." ”
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu left the study very obediently, but Zhu Di was silent.
Qi Jing looked at Zhu Di, who was a little abnormal today, suspiciously, and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Qi Jing, this trip to the south is very dangerous, if it weren't for the lack of a suitable candidate, this king would not have sent you. For this matter, the princess has ignored the king for several days. But this king has no choice, and I hope you will not hold a grudge against me. ”
Qi Jingyan was a little moved in his heart, Zhu Di used 'this king' in the first few sentences, and the last sentence used 'I', which was to treat himself as a nephew.
"Lord Wang, Qi Jing knows. On this trip south, I will definitely bring the prince and the king back safely! ”
Zhu Di glanced at Qi Jing complicatedly, "You also want to come back safely······
Qi Jing's heart warmed, and after a salute, he turned around and walked out.
"Qi Jing, are you willing to recognize this king as your father-in-law?!"
Qi Jing's body shook when he heard this, and he turned to look at Zhu Di in shock.
Zhu Di looked at Qi Jing with a smile, "If you don't want to, this king won't be reluctant." ”
Qi Jing suddenly had the urge to cry, lifted his robe, knelt on his knees, knocked his head three times, and left without looking back.
There is a long convoy of people who can't see the end next to the convoy, and next to the convoy is a procession of people who can't see the end.
The people were here to escort the convoy.
Zhu Di stood on the top floor of the attic of the palace, looking at the long line of ordinary people, his eyes were rosy.
"Is this the will of the people? Is this what Qi Jing said about the people's hearts·······"
Dao Yan stood behind Zhu Di and folded his hands, "Congratulations to the prince, Beiping, you can get it at your fingertips!" ”
Qi Jing also saw the ranks of the people, took a deep breath, bowed down and clenched his fists to the people who were dressed in sackcloth and dusty, and bowed deeply.
Zhu Gaochi, who was standing next to Qi Jing, was the first to react, pulling Zhu Gaochu, who was at a loss, to learn Qi Jing's deep fist salute. The actions of the three of them instantly spread to the entire convoy of the palace.
The behavior of the three of them actually brought tears to the eyes of the people, and the nobles who had been high in front of them actually saluted themselves, and the people suddenly felt that the distance between them and the Yan Wangfu had narrowed a lot.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't know why these people were in tears, and some even cried on the ground. And Zhu Gaochi is thoughtful.
"Brother, what do you say they are crying about?"
Zhu Gaochi touched his brother's head, "Gao Xu, remember, be kind to these people, they are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded obediently, Zhu Gaoxu has changed a lot recently, and the former little demon king has now become a well-known good boy.
And the biggest change is that he has now become Zhu Gaoji's little follower, no matter where his brother goes, he has to follow, everything stems from the Chinese New Year's Eve fight. And Qi Jing told everyone except Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu in advance that no one was allowed to drink with Zhu Gaochu······
And Zhu Gaoxu said to the outside world that Qi Jing was his husband's business, after Qi Jing heard about it, he didn't refute it, and of course he didn't agree, as for what Qi Jing was thinking, no one knew.
Qi Jing has been promoted, although it is a nine-grade inspection, but this inspection is only available at the border, although the official is small, but it is much better than those five-grade and six-grade officials with no real power, at least, he can lead troops, and the number is not small.
Everything was ready, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu were originally arranged to sit in the carriage, but they insisted on riding, and Qi Jing didn't refute anymore, and it was good to exercise.
Zhu Gaochi was not worried, but Zhu Gaochi was not in good health, and Qi Jing was worried, but Zhu Gaochi's words made Qi Jing give up persuasion.
"I am the son of King Yan!" Zhu Gaochi said.
Qi Jing turned over and waved his whip fiercely, "Let's go!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the herald spread the word 'departure' throughout the convoy, and the whole street was filled with the word departure.
The convoy began to move, and after a while, it went out of the range of the palace and arrived at the main road in Beiping, Baihualou, which is located on this main road.
Qi Jing was riding on a horse, his hooves were obtained, but his eyes fell on a simple carriage in front of the door of Baihualou.
The figure that came out of the Baihua Building made Qi Jing stop the horse.
Zhu Gaochu squinted his eyes and glanced at it, and whispered a few words to Zhu Gaochi beside him, and Zhu Gaochi nodded.
"Zhang Fu!" Zhu Gaoxu said loudly, "Ask them if they are going to Jinling?" ”
Zhang Fu looked in the direction of Zhu Gaoxu's finger, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "No! ”
Fu Liu threw the last burden into the carriage, and then helped Qin Wanxi out of the Baihua Building. When he looked up, he saw the long convoy of the palace.
Fu Liu glanced at Qin Wanxi beside her, and saw that she was expressionless, and sighed in her heart, and was about to open the curtain of the carriage.
"Slow!" With a loud shout, Fu Liu's hand trembled.
Fu Liu looked up and saw that it was Zhang Fu, "You are sick!" ”
Zhang Fu smiled awkwardly, "Are you going to Jinling?" ”
"Well, what's the matter? Not allowed? ”
"Allow, allow!" Zhang Fu hurriedly said, "Our son said, since we are all going to Jinling, it is better for you to go with us, and you can still have a care, you two girls' families, if you go alone, it is not safe." ”
Fu Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he glanced back, Qin Wanxi, who was still silent, and said, "Okay, we'll reluctantly agree." I wanted to hire a few dart masters, but it seems that I don't need to. ”
Fu Liu turned around and helped Qin Wanxi, and said in her ear, "Miss, can we save a lot of money······
In this way, the carriage of Baihualou was integrated into the convoy of the palace, just behind the three of Qi Jing.
Zhu Gaoxu came to Qi Jing's side and said flatteringly, "Sir, how is it?" ”
"A word for you."
"What word?"
"Get out!"
Zhu Gaochu was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly reacted and was furious, but he couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard Zhu Gaochi, and said angrily, "You are laughing at your fart!" ”
Zhu Gaochi laughed even more when he heard this.
Happy New Year's Day to all!!
