The happy event of the Tang Mansion is coming, and it is very lively, and the people of Jeju Island are also looking forward to it, and everyone hopes that this time the Tang Mansion will have a successor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If the Tang Mansion can give birth to a boy this time, it will not only have a great relationship with Tang Ming himself, but also with the people and army under his rule. Now that everyone has such a life, they naturally want to be able to maintain it in the future, and this requires Tang Ming to have descendants to inherit his huge family business.

This is a typical emperor who is not anxious and the eunuch is in a hurry, Tang Ming himself does not care much about giving birth to a boy or a girl, what he cares about is that as long as the two ladies can give birth smoothly, and the mother and child are safe, he will have nothing else to ask for.

Compared with the bustle of Jeju Island, the capital city of Daming across the sea seems very deserted. Moreover, the atmosphere of the whole Beiping City seems to be very solemn, and officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth can often be seen in the streets and alleys.

Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu personally sat on the tower of the city gate, and the entire Beiping City began martial law last night, and the ban has not been lifted until now. The people were only allowed to enter but not to go out, as if something great had happened.

Zhang Yu rubbed his bloodshot eyes tiredly, and complained very unhappily: "This emperor is too fussed, isn't it just that he found out that two assassins want to rescue the old thief Jianwen?" Half a day has passed, and the Assassins may have fled the city, and we have been searching the city for a long time. ”

Zhu Neng also felt the same way about Zhang Yu's complaints, although this Jianwen was imprisoned in the palace by the first emperor for some time. But this does not mean that the former Illuminati has not left any remaining parties.

On the contrary, there should be many remnants in the Ming Dynasty, but they have all fallen silent. This is also probably because Jianwen, the sect leader, was arrested, and now someone has ventured into the palace to rescue him, which is normal!

It was indeed a bit of a great effort to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and officers and soldiers in the city to search for such a thing. In the middle of the night last night, Zhu Neng was still asleep when he was under a holy decree from Zhu Gaochi, blocking the whole city and leading people to search for him, but unfortunately he still found nothing.

With a slight wry smile on his face, Zhu Neng shook his head and said, "Okay, don't complain about the emperor, there must be reasons that we don't know." Cheer up and keep it, I believe that the emperor will come soon to lift the ban, after all, it is not a way for this imperial city to be banned all the time. ”

Zhang Yu obviously didn't listen, pouted and said: "If you want to guard the eldest brother, you will guard it, the younger brother will go home and lie down first, and he has not slept all night running in the streets and alleys of the city, and people can't hold up their eyelids now!" ”

didn't wait for Zhu Neng's answer, Zhang Yu waved his hand directly to him and left, and Zhu Neng no longer persuaded him, anyway, there was no need for two people to guard the city gate.

The security in the palace is obviously higher than that in the outer city, and last night two men in black suddenly visited the palace and prepared to rescue Jianwen. Fortunately, the Sentinel found out early and did not let the thieves succeed, but unfortunately the two black-clad assassins were still escaped.

Zhu Gaochi, led by two eunuchs, walked all the way to the deepest part of the imperial city, and after the assassin's trouble last night, he knew that Jianwen was not dead. And was imprisoned by his father in the deep courtyard of the palace, Jianwen turned out to be not dead, which was indeed unexpected by Zhu Gaochi.

The deepest part of the palace is actually equivalent to a nursing home and a place to pile up some sundries, including some concubines who are disliked by the emperor, and it is generally said that they are beaten into the cold palace here.

Compared with the palace in front, the depths of this harem are not so glamorous, especially in many places that seem to have not been built yet, and at this moment it is similar to the urban village in later generations.

The two old eunuchs led Zhu Gaochi through a circular arch to a two-story wooden building, the door was locked, and there was no movement in the room at the moment.

Zhu Gaochi hesitated outside the door for a moment, and then ordered the door to be opened. The two old eunuchs did not dare to delay anything, and ran up quickly to open the lock.

Several guards immediately stepped forward to open the door and rushed into the house. The light inside was fairly bright, and there was no furniture in the air.

At a glance, you could see any part of the house, and the guards left two people to guard Zhu Gaochi's side, and the rest immediately rushed to the second floor.

Zhu Gaochi didn't stop, and followed the guards upstairs. The windows on the second floor were all opened, and the light was abundant, and I saw an old man sitting in a rocking chair, not seeing the waiter who was quickly heading towards him, but staring at Zhu Gaochi.

The old man suddenly grinned and said, "You are Zhu Di's eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, right?" ”

"Bold!"

Several guards immediately pressed the sabers on their waists, and there was a great possibility that the old man would be corrected on the spot!

Zhu Gaochi had already seen who the old man was, waved his hand at those guards, and ordered them all to retreat. The guards looked very hesitant and didn't move at all. It wasn't until Zhu Gaochi yelled at them again that he obediently retreated.

The old man glanced at the guards and said with a smile again, "It seems that these doglegs of yours are quite loyal?" Aren't you afraid that the old man will be bad for you? ”

Zhu Gaochi ignored Jianwen's thorny words at all, came to the window with his back to him, and whispered: "I was not afraid of you when I was with Tang Ming before, let alone you now!" ”

As soon as Tang Ming was mentioned, the smile on Jianwen's face instantly froze, and he was stunned for a moment before he said coldly: "What is the matter with coming to the old man today, let it go if you have a fart, and get out when you are done!" ”

With a smile on his face, Zhu Gaochi slowly turned around, looked at him and said, "Who are the two assassins who came last night and why are they here?" ”

Jianwen hesitated for a moment before saying, "Come and kill the old man!" ”

This answer made Zhu Gaochi stunned for a long time, he obviously suspected that the old man was playing with himself, and then pulled down his face, just about to warn. Unexpectedly, the old man explained: "I don't need to explain to you, although the old man has lost the country, he has lost the country, but he has also lost in the hands of our Zhu family." But now there are outsiders who want to take over the world of our Zhu family, and the old man is an insider, so they must get rid of me! ”

Zhu Gaochi observed Jianwen silently for a long time, and seeing that he didn't seem to be fooling himself, he said with a solemn face: "If it is peaceful today, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, where will there be any people who will make something against it, it's not that you are fooling me!" ”

Jianwen suddenly snorted coldly, stood up directly from the rocking chair, the former imperial majesty was gone, slightly hunched over and slowly walked to the window, and said leisurely: "Do you know why they haven't done it all this time?" Because your father was at war with Tang Ming before, they just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

"But now you have reconciled with Tang Ming, and you have reached an agreement that one person is inside and one outside, and you take care of each other! Hehe...... So they are in a hurry now, if they are really developed like this by you, they will definitely not have any chance to turn over in the future! (To be continued.) )
