The lights in the Jingshi Palace were bright, especially the imperial study, it was already two watches at the moment, and Zhu Di, who had just been lying down for a long time, was awakened by two secret reports. Queen Xu, who was sleeping with him, saw her husband's violent face, and followed her to the imperial study with anxiety.

Li Ba had already learned the whole story from Tang Ming, and guessed that the person who stole the crops was the confidant of the disappeared Emperor Jianwen. After getting such a result, Li Ba was scared into a cold sweat, and immediately wrote a secret letter to report to Zhu Di, and at the same time, the secret agent of Dongchang also got the news that the secret letter passed through a unique way and arrived in Zhu Di's hands almost at the same time as Li Ba's secret letter.

After reading the two secret letters, the violent color on Zhu Di's face was even stronger, and he walked back and forth in the room anxiously, and Queen Xu looked at her husband puzzled, until Zhu Di handed her the secret letter to read. A look of shock instantly appeared on his face, and he also understood why the usually wise and calm man in the world became restless.

As long as the matter involves Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Di will definitely not be calm. After the Battle of Jingjing, it seems that he can now sit firmly on the dragon chair, but at this juncture, Jianwen suddenly disappeared. To this end, Zhu Di also established the East Factory and organized a huge underground network, in order to find out the disappeared Jianwen.

But until now, he has no clue, and this matter has always been like a mountain, weighing heavily on Zhu Di's heart. Sometimes I have nightmares in the middle of the night, and I am often awakened by it, as if the shadow of Jianwen has become Zhu Di's throat and heart, and it is not painful to get rid of it.

Xu was helpless at the moment, and wanted to persuade him to calm down, but he didn't know where to start. When he was embarrassed, Zhu Di suddenly spoke first: "Queen, why did you say that the little thief Jianwen stole Tang Ming's improved corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, is there any conspiracy that I can't guess." ”

After pondering for a moment, the queen replied softly: "The emperor actually doesn't need to make a big fuss about Jianwen's affairs anymore, the concubine thinks that now that the Ming Dynasty has been peaceful, its main force against the party has already been swept away by you." Jianwen saw that the general trend had gone, so he left behind the power on the surface and hid in the shadows. ”

"If the concubine's guess is correct, Jianwen will definitely not dare to confront you head-on in the near future, and at most he can only make small moves in secret. And at this moment, the emperor is already in power, he only needs to fight for the hearts of the people wholeheartedly, let the people of the world remember his kindness, and then the people will only remember you, and there will also remember the Jianwen thief. Since ancient times, the emperor should not be troubled by this thief! Xu's face showed a dignified color, and he persuaded softly.

"Ugh......."

Zhu Di's anxious footsteps eased, looked at the queen and sighed: "I know that Jianwen's thief is not enough to trouble, but I have experienced four years of 'appeasement', the southern and northern wars can be described as nine deaths, fighting openly and secretly, and I have never slept a peaceful sleep in the past four years." In order to eradicate Jianwen, the traitor, but when I was about to succeed, I still let him escape, I am unwilling, unwilling! ”

The queen fell silent when she heard this, and sighed in her heart: "Since ancient times, there has been no dark side in the emperor's family, and brothers killing their fathers and brothers abound, fighting for a throne and a chance to live." At this moment, the benevolent Xu family hopes that he and Zhu Di were born in a common people's family and live a happy life with their husbands and wives, instead of spending endless days of intrigue and treachery every day. ”

Although the heart yearns for the life of ordinary people, but the queen does not regret marrying Zhu Di, although the emperor is temperamental and irritable, but since marrying him, Zhu Di has always cared for him, it is difficult to find a confidant in a hundred years of life, there is a wishful husband who is in love with him, and the Xu family has nothing else to ask for.

"Your Majesty, although the concubine is a queen, she is a woman after all, and what she says doesn't have to be taken seriously. The letter mentioned that the traitor who stole the grain also threatened Tang Ethics not to work for you, I don't know why this Tang Ethics is Xu Ren? If you want to find clues about this, you can find it from him. Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the queen had to help the emperor dig into the matter.

As soon as the queen mentioned Tang Ming, the emperor inexplicably evoked a smile, and no longer anxiously walked back and forth in the room, but sat on the dragon chair, and said with a friendly smile: "This person's surname is Tang Danzi, he is fifteen years old, and he is the son of a master in the world, and he is the best dry food pancake in the army now. Later, the improved crops were offered again, it is said that the yield per mu can reach about 7,000 catties, and now it has been tried in the royal field, and the truth can be known in the spring of next year. ”

The sudden change in the emperor's expression was seen by the queen without missing anything, but he didn't expect that this unheard of Tang Ming could make Zhu Di turn his anger into joy. From marrying Zhu Di as his wife to the present, this is the first time he has seen this situation, and the queen's curiosity has also been seduced for a while.

"At the age of fifteen, he has such a talent, this son is indeed not simple, I don't know if His Majesty has found out his background, the concubine is very curious about what kind of family has such a young talent?" The queen seems to be really aroused by curiosity at the moment, but her real intention is to hope that the emperor will stop thinking about Jianwen.

With a sip of tea, the emperor shook his head and smiled: "This matter has already been found out by the prince and young master Yao's family, Tang Ming's son is a member of the Tang family in Suzhou, and it is a family of businessmen. A few days ago, because he accompanied his family teacher to visit friends, he unfortunately encountered a shipwreck on the way, and he has not been seen since, leaving this son alone in a lonely island and rescued by the three treasures. Yao's family has seen this son and seen that he is indeed talented, but he thinks he is too young, and wants him to hone more outside, otherwise with his merits and talent, I have already recruited him to his side for the benefit of the common people in the world, and he will be free outside. ”

"It's a pity ......."

The emperor paused for a moment, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he said in a cold voice: "It's a pity that Jianwen, a traitor, must have found out about this son's talent, so he will send someone to recruit him." I estimate that the crops stolen by Jianwen must be planted, if these three crops really have a yield of 7,000 catties per mu, then it will not take two years for Jianwen to make a comeback, which makes me have to worry! ”

The queen nodded in agreement and said: "The emperor is indeed reasonable, according to this view, Tang Ming, this little baby, will definitely have life worries, and it is a pity that such a genius dies because of this." Why didn't the emperor let him return to Beijing to give him an idle position, and let him stay in Beijing or protect him nearby, which could be regarded as a credit for his dedication to the treasure, and even more so that Jianwen's conspiracy could not succeed. ”

The emperor nodded and said: "I have long had this intention, so I let him work in the military camp of Cheng Guogong, and Cheng Guogong also sent his son to Weihaiwei, as long as he accompanies him to Suzhou to recognize his relatives, he can return to Beijing." But now it's not in a hurry, I just went to Suzhou to take Tang Ming as bait, and I secretly sent a master of Jinyi Wei to follow all the way, as long as Jianwen's traitors dare to find him again, they can catch them all. ”

The benevolent Xu family did not agree with the emperor's arrangement, but this was the best choice, perhaps this time he could find out Jianwen and solve Zhu Di's troubles. As for Tang Ming, the queen could only pray silently for him, but she also made up her mind in her heart. If Tang Ming can return to Jingshi safely after experiencing this incident, she will definitely let His Majesty be knighted and treated him favorably.

The queen got up slowly, bowed slightly and said: "Since the emperor has made a decision, the concubine will not disturb your office, and your majesty should go to bed until late at night, and the concubine will retire first if she is unwell." Tomorrow morning, I will go to court early, I hope that Your Majesty's dragon body is important, and you will sleep peacefully as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Di nodded in response, and ordered the waiter who was waiting outside the door, and the palace maid escorted the queen back to bed, and then called Li Xing, and the commander of the Jinyi guard came to see him.

Sitting back on the dragon chair, Zhu Di pondered for a moment, then took up the pen and wrote a secret letter, and waited until the commander of the Jinyi guard arrived, and ordered him to take people to set off immediately after two orders, and then went back to bed.

In the middle of the night, the Jingshi has fallen into silence, the small doors of every house are closed, everyone is already asleep, a 'da-da' sound of horses' hooves suddenly came out of the palace side door, and dozens of fast horses went straight to the gate of Beiping. Before anyone arrived, the city gate had already opened a crack, and dozens of fast horses rushed out, disappearing into the darkness outside the city in a few moments.

Tang Ming was still lying on the wooden bed, looking at the night sky outside the window and falling into deep thought. The wooden door of the thatched hut that was broken by Li Ba has been repaired, and the number of soldiers on duty in the fields outside has increased from five soldiers to fifty now. After the thief's thing, Li Ba no longer dared to be careless, for the sake of safety, he was now guarding the door of the thatched hut, even Tang Ming persuaded him many times that he didn't need to do this, but he still insisted on doing so.

Tang Ming was completely insomnia tonight, and there was already a glimmer of light in the sky, but he didn't feel any sleepiness. In the small talk with Li Ba, he had already learned that most of the thieves were Jianwen's people, and with the words that the white-faced man said when he left, he already understood that he would face a great danger.

For the first time since crossing over to Daming, Tang Ming really felt the pain of his life in danger. At this moment, he has realized that this is not a dream, but a real existence. The matter of his life does not allow him to be confused any longer, he is familiar with history, and he naturally understands that Jianwen is always a loser, and it is naturally impossible to serve him. But what ability do you have to face such an elusive opponent?

"Alas, it seems that it must be impossible to live this life in peace. Make me feel bad, don't think about Ansheng, although I, Tang Ming, am not an invincible general in martial arts, but I am also a dignified man, how can I do things like shrinking turtles and stealing my life, Jianwen thief, you wait! Dare to threaten you Uncle Tang Ming, if you don't want to die, I will have your surname. ”

After making a decision, sleepiness suddenly hit, Tang Ming yawned a few times, and immediately fell asleep. Shake off the mess in your head and simply fall asleep.
