After coming to the capital, Zhou Chong temporarily lived in Wang Lun's mansion, and Wu Shan had already reported to Emperor Zhengde about his request to see, but now there is no news in the palace, and Zhou Chong doesn't know when Lu Dao will see Zhu Houzhao?

Originally, Zhou Chong didn't want to attract too many people's attention when he entered Beijing this time, nor did he want to have too much contact with other officials of the Ming Dynasty, after all, he was a smuggling leader on the southern coast, and ordinary people may not know his identity, but for those court officials, it was not a big secret.

It is also his sensitive identity, so after Zhou Zhong lived in Wang Lun's mansion, he has been living in seclusion, planning to wait until Emperor Zhengde summons him, and then leave immediately after finishing his business, always staying in this powerful capital, so that Zhou Zhong has an extreme sense of insecurity that his fate cannot be grasped.

Of course, Zhou Chong can't stay at home all the time, after all, it's not easy to come to the capital, even if Zhou Chong doesn't want to go out, Jinxuan and the others still want to have a good tour of here, so Zhou Chong naturally has to accompany him.

"Wow~, is that the palace where Emperor Ming lived? It's so big and spectacular, it's bigger than most of our European cities in terms of area alone! On the Xiangshan Mountain in the west of Beijing, Sira stood among the large red maple leaves, holding a telescope and looking at the Forbidden City, which was surrounded by walls, and sighed.

Jinxuan and the others played in the capital for a few days, bought a bunch of things, and after turning the entire capital around, Ciela begged Zhou Zhong to take her to see the legendary Forbidden City, but the Forbidden City is in the interior of the Imperial City, ordinary people don't say it's the Forbidden City, and even the Imperial City doesn't allow idle people to approach. So Zhou Zhong was helpless against Sila's request.

But fortunately, Wu Shan and others are familiar with the capital. So they gave Zhou Zhong an idea. Tell him to climb the Xiangshan in the west of the city to enjoy the whole picture of the capital, and now it is late autumn, the maple leaves on the Xiangshan are also the most beautiful time, plus there is Yong'an Zen Temple on the Xiangshan, that is, the Xiangshan Temple and other places of interest in the future, it can be said to be an excellent place to enjoy the scenery, if you come to the capital and do not go to Xiangshan, it is a pity.

Later generations of Zhou Chong also heard of the name of Xiangshan maple leaves. Hearing Wu Shan's suggestion, he immediately agreed, and in order to better enjoy the scenery in the city, Zhou Zhong also deliberately took out the telescope that he was going to give to Emperor Zhengde, but since he climbed Xiangshan, Sira has been occupying the telescope to look in the direction of the imperial city, Zhou Chong tried to snatch it from her several times, but he couldn't succeed.

In fact, after climbing Xiangshan, you can see the whole picture of Beijing with the naked eye, especially now is the season of high and cool autumn. The sky was blue, without the slightest white cloud. There is no fog in the mountains, so those with good eyesight can even see the endless flow of people and cars on the streets of the capital.

Now is the most beautiful time of the year in Xiangshan, so the tourists on Xiangshan are also endless, Zhou Zhong probably took a look, in general, the tourists of Xiangshan are divided into three kinds, the first is a rich and idle person like him, these rich people with maids and servants, in the mountain is the front and back hugs, from time to time you can also see some of the ladies who are usually hidden in the boudoir.

The second type of people are those suave young scholars, they are in groups of three or five while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Xiangshan, and from time to time they will peek at those young ladies who are traveling, they want to see but dare not see more, the kind of thief heart but not thief guts makes Zhou Zhong feel very funny.

The last kind is to burn incense and worship the Buddha of the good men and women who go to Xiangshan, the Yong'an Temple on the Xiangshan is very famous in the capital, there are many believers who come to make a wish every day, these believers have men and women and old and young, there are also rich and poor people, most of them are pious with a face, walk slowly along the mountain road in the direction of Yong'an Zen Temple.

Of course, the division of tourists on Xiangshan is not absolute, and the three kinds of people also have their own crossings, such as Zhou Zhong, who originally came to Xiangshan to enjoy the scenery, but when Jinxuan and they heard that the Yong'an Temple on the mountain was very effective, they were clamoring to go into the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Although Zhou Zhong did not believe in Buddhism, he also wanted to visit the temple, so he nodded and agreed.

When the next group of people followed those good men and women, they soon came to the mountain gate of Yong'an Temple. Yong'an Temple was originally the palace of the Jin Dynasty, and then it was changed to a temple, the Jin Dynasty was called the Great Yong'an Temple, the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Ganlu Temple, and the Ming Dynasty was changed to Yong'an Temple, and it has a history of 400 years. However, in later generations, the entire buildings on Xiangshan were burned down by the British and French forces and the Eight-Nation Alliance, and only a few stone screens remained, which is a pity to think about.

After entering the Yong'an Zen Temple, Jinxuan and the others entered the main hall to worship the Buddha and make a wish, Zhou Chong was not a person who believed in Buddhism, and he did not want to bow down to a clay figure, so he did not go in, but stood outside the door and waited, so that he could also enjoy the scenery in the temple.

But just as Jinxuan and the others entered, a group of people came in from outside the gate, led by a young man about thirty years old, who looked elegant and smiling, which made people feel close at a glance. In addition, the young man was followed by several female dependents and maid servants, who seemed to be the same as Zhou Chong, all of whom came to the temple to worship incense.

At the beginning, Zhou Zhong just felt that the man who came in was very good, and he must not be an ordinary person, so he also looked at it twice, but he quickly turned his head to enjoy the scenery in the temple, after all, no matter how extraordinary the other party was, he was not interested in making friends with the other party.

However, what Zhou Chong didn't expect was that just as he looked away, Wu Shan behind him suddenly approached him quietly and whispered: "Childe, look at the young man who just came in, he is His Royal Highness King Ning of our Ming Dynasty!" ”

"King Ning!" Zhou Chong was also startled when he heard this name, and immediately turned his head to look at the young man again, he never thought that he would meet the famous Ning King Zhu Chenhao in history here? Just looking at his elegant appearance, Zhou Zhong couldn't believe that such a person would launch a rebellion, and in order to collect money for himself, he even raised thieves to rob his house, and countless people in Nanchang and other places indirectly died in his hands, and countless people died because of him, which can be called a beast!

Thinking of what the history of King Ning did, Zhou Zhong also despised it, it seems that the sentence that people can't look good is really true, this King Ning looks polite on the surface, but in fact he is a brutal and unkind guy, in contrast, although Zhengde is fun and absurd, but in terms of character, he is much stronger than Zhu Chenhao.

However, just when Zhou Chong was thinking about the above things, he saw His Royal Highness King Ning, who was traveling in civilian clothes, came to the door of the main hall with his female dependents, and then sent a few female dependents into the main hall, and he himself was the same as Zhou Chong, standing outside the hall and waiting, and what Zhou Chong didn't expect was that Zhu Chenhao actually paid attention to him, looking himself up and down from time to time, which made Zhou Chong scold in his heart, and at the same time prayed that the other party would never find him, after all, although he despised King Ning's personality, but with his identity, he did not dare to offend the other party.

It's a pity that Zhou Chong, a guy who doesn't believe in Buddhism, obviously has no sincerity when praying, and naturally there will be no gods and Buddhas who are blind to bless him. I saw that King Ning looked at Zhou Chong for a moment, and then saw Wu Shan and the others behind Zhou Chong, and immediately walked over with a smile and said something that shocked Zhou Chong.

"Presumably, this is Zhou Chongzhou's son who came to the capital from Songjiang Mansion to visit relatives, in Zhu Chenhao in Nanchang, he has long heard of the name of the son, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity to meet, I didn't expect to meet here today, it is really an honor to make me feel honored!" I saw Zhu Chenhao walking in front of Zhou Chong, not only telling Zhou Chong's identity, but also pointing out the relationship between him and Wang Lun, which made Zhou Chong shocked at the same time, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, he thought he was careful enough, but he didn't expect it to attract the attention of others, and this person turned out to be Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning.

Since his identity was revealed, Zhou Chong no longer concealed it, and immediately raised his head and looked at King Ning with a little vigilance in his eyes and said, "Grass people Zhou Chong greets His Royal Highness King Ning!" ”

Seeing the vigilance in Zhou Chong's eyes, Zhu Chenhao was stunned at first, but then he also smiled, he thought that he had broken Zhou Chong's identity, so he aroused the vigilance of the other party, after all, Zhou Chong was a big smuggler on the southern coast, but he never thought that Zhou Chongzhi's vigilance was because he knew what he would do in the future, so he didn't want to have too much interaction with the other party.

"Ha Lu Ha~, Zhou Gongzi is polite, in this pure place of Buddhism, where are there any princes and grass people? Zhu has long heard that Zhou Gongzi is extraordinary, so he has long wanted to make friends, if Gongzi does not dislike it, Zhu here from the south to bring some good dragon and phoenix tea, we can borrow a meditation room from the temple, while drinking tea and chatting, okay? ”

Zhu Chenhao took the initiative to invite, and said it so politely, if Zhou Zhong insisted on refusing again, it would be too ignorant, and it was even likely to make this cruel King Ning hate himself. If Zhou Chong is not mistaken, until King Ning rebelled, Zhu Houzhao had always trusted Zhu Chenhao very much, and he was more intimate with him than other vassal kings, and it was really not a wise thing to offend the other party now.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but feel a little helpless, since he couldn't refuse, he could only follow the other party to taste tea, and by the way, he would probe the other party's tone again to see why the other party would take the initiative to approach him? Where did you find out your identity? (To be continued......)
