Zhu Di finally made a decision, all four sons went to Nanjing to mourn their grandfather, not because he was ruthless, but if one of them didn't go, he would leave a truth for Zhu Yunwen, only in this way would he show that he had no other meaning.

For this decision, Xu Miaoyin was just sad, and she never said a word to Zhu Di, even if he wanted to send their son to the tiger's mouth.

Only when deciding whether Zhu Gaoxi would stay or not, Xu Miaoyin said a few words to Zhu Di, because her youngest son's life was too bitter, and she didn't want him to enter the tiger's mouth like this.

Although Zhu Gaoxi was very young, he also knew his father's difficulties, and he heard that Hu Ye could be seen in Nanjing, so he resolutely decided to go to Nanjing with his three elder brothers, he didn't want his father and mother to be difficult.

Zhu Di was very pleased with the sensibility of his sons, and personally sent them to the gate of Beiping City, looking at their departing backs, Zhu Di put his arms around Xu Miaoyin's waist to ensure that they would be fine.

Zheng Da followed Zhu Gaochi with almost all the secret guards, and his task was to ensure their safety, even if he entered the palace, he had to report their traces to Zhu Di every day, just like he used to report Hu Ye's traces.

And he also has another task, that is, to contact Hu Ye, inquire about the current situation in Nanjing, and let Hu Ye do his best to ensure the safety of several princes.

Just when Zhu Gaochi's four brothers were tens of millions in Nanjing, the teams of more than a dozen vassal kings who went to the funeral basically set off, of course, those who had no heirs did not need to go. For a while, those who went to the funeral seemed to feel more painful than the loss of the emperor, because they knew that they wanted to go back to Nanjing this time, but it was extremely difficult.

And the news of Zhu Di's confrontation with Gong Bingwen on the Yangtze River a few days ago naturally spread wildly in Nanjing, and people with ulterior motives were also involved. Naturally, it was an exaggeration, saying that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, thought that his father's death was strange, and went south with hundreds of thousands of troops, wanting to ask Zhu Yunwen for clarification, but he was blocked by Geng Bingwen's 10,000 army on the edge of the Yangtze River, and he couldn't go south an inch. In the end, they could only return in vain, and they had other plans.

Hearing this, Hu Ye smiled helplessly, it seems that even ordinary people can see that several of Zhu Yunwen's uncles have all kinds of careful thoughts. It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe that his son would attack his grandson, so he didn't attack his sons for a long time.

As for summoning the heirs of various vassal kings into Beijing this time, I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang also has the intention of Zhu Yuanzhang, he doesn't want to see the scene of his sons and grandchildren killing each other, so he arranged Geng Bingwen's barrier, and gave Zhu Yunwen such a move, I have to say that he has good intentions.

As for whether Zhu Di brought hundreds of thousands of troops, Hu Ye naturally knew, and Zhu Di's Yanwang Mansion was only 10,000 people. And according to reliable sources, Zhu Di brought an escort of more than 100 people, but he was stopped north of the Yangtze River by Geng Bingwen, saying that it was customized by the emperor. The vassal king was not allowed to enter Beijing, so he would force Zhu Di to return to Beiping.

Hu Ye was relieved after all, it seemed that Zhu Di and the others were still calm, knowing that now was not the time.

However, Hu Ye was still very worried. Because the Zhu Yunwen he knows is no longer the Zhu Yunwen in history, he doesn't know that the heirs of those vassal kings came to Nanjing this time. I don't know if Zhu Di will be able to send his sons as in history, and what should he do.

What Hu Ye was worried about still happened, because just two days before the Lantern Festival, news came that all four of Zhu Di's sons came to Nanjing for funeral.

"Handsome is handsome after all, a pawn is a pawn after all, can a person who can be an emperor not be ruthless?"

Hu Ye shook his head, Zhu Di was able to send all his four sons to Nanjing, Hu Ye was not surprised at all, so Hu Ye was not surprised by Zheng Da's arrival.

"Boy, what's the situation in Nanjing now?"

Zheng Da took a sip of tea and asked Hu Ye in a low voice.

"How did I know, I've been in the Nameless Mansion for half a month, and I haven't stepped out of the house. You also saw those soldiers outside, they didn't do anything else, they just didn't let me out of Qingtian Street, so I don't know more about the things inside the palace than you. ”

Hu Ye rolled his eyes and said.

"Your Highness asked me to escort the four princes to Nanjing this time, and I always feel uneasy." Zheng Da frowned, looking more worried than when he faced Yin Yang Zi back then.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, you don't have to worry about anything, they are his cousins after all."

"Did the old emperor find out something about you?"

"I don't know, anyway, after coming back from Guangzhou and seeing me, I will never be able to leave Qingtian Street again, and I will be very satisfied to be able to walk around the academy."

"The last time you saw him, how was his body?"

"Okay."

"Do you think it's going to be ......?"

"I don't know about that." Hu Ye shook his head, he knew what Zheng Da wanted to ask, and it was estimated that this was also what Zhu Di meant, but he really didn't know, if he had just crossed the Ming Dynasty, he would tell Zheng Da very clearly that Zhu Yuanzhang was not dead.

But he has been here for more than a year, and he has changed too much, as the saying goes, history is like a butterfly effect, if you change a little, earth-shaking changes will occur later, no one knows what will happen, Hu Ye doesn't know if the history he knows is still useful, and even whether Zhu Di can become an emperor in the future, he began to have a trace of doubt.

"Your Highness asked me to bring you a message, no matter what, you must ensure the safety of the four princes."

After Zheng Da finished speaking, he left the Nameless Mansion.

Hu Ye sighed, let me protect those princes? Are you kidding? Are we just a powerless dean of the broken dean, or a dean of the broken dean who can only walk around the academy and the nameless mansion, a dean of the broken dean who can't even travel far during the Spring Festival, why should we protect Zhu Di's son?

"Boy, do you think you're following the general trend, or are you going against the sky?"

After Zheng Da left, Gong Yiji walked out with Zhang Yuchu, as if these two old things didn't know each other, and in the past ten days, they have been playing chess together every day, and they have almost become confidants.

Hu Ye looked at Zhang Yuchu, he didn't know what this thing was in his head, maybe after coming to the academy, he still had contact with Zhu Yuanzhang, maybe he was in Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement this time.

"Stinky boy, do you think I don't know what purpose you taught me to modify the alchemy furnace? Do you think I'm willing to watch those medicine people slowly lose their vitality under the devouring of pills? To tell you the truth, when you went to the Conne Mansion, I was deliberating with Conne whether or not to explore your true background. ”

"In the end, our decision is that we will not interfere with you in whatever you want to do, because we can't see through your life. Do you think I want to refine the elixir of immortality? Zhang Yu first saw that Hu Ye had a prejudice against him, so he sneered, then came to Hu Ye and sat down, and muttered, "To tell you the truth, although we Taoism inherited Lao Tzu's Huang Lao Wuwei technique, but we are not fools, the elixir of immortality?" It's just an ethereal illusion. ”

"Do you think that my body was exercised because I ate the elixir of immortality? You're wrong, it's because I know what the elixir of immortality means, that's why I refine it, but I don't eat it. Because I know that once there is no elixir of immortality, our Taoism will decline, not because of itself, but because of the loss of the temptation of the elixir, the emperor will no longer need the influence of Taoism. ”

"Do you think since I came to the academy, has Taiyi still developed? Do you think that I, the Taiyi Sect in charge of the world's Taoist affairs, are so carefree that you see every day? ”

"So don't think of me as so gloomy, since I came to the academy, I haven't seen the emperor again, because without the elixir of immortality, I am nothing." After Zhang Yuchu said this, it was as if he was several years old, as if these words had been accumulated in his heart for many years, and he finally found someone to talk to.

Hu Ye looked at Zhang Yuchu in surprise, he always thought that this product was wearing the same pants as Zhu Yuanzhang, but he didn't expect that there were so many stories between them, it seemed that he still blamed Zhang Yuchu.

"Heavenly Master, the kid knows his mistakes." Hu Ye arched his hand, personally poured a cup of tea for Zhang Yuchu, and then apologized very sincerely.

"Don't call me Heavenly Master anymore, Heavenly Master is just a gimmick to deceive the ignorant people." Zhang Yuchu smiled helplessly, took the teacup and drank it.

"Boy, you haven't answered my question yet." Seeing that Zhang Yuchu and Hu Ye were talking, Gong Yi opened his mouth and asked.

"Two gentlemen, dare to ask, what is the sky, what is the sky, what is the sky, and what is the anti-sky?"

Hu Ye did not immediately answer the question of losing to himself, but asked a question.

"Heaven is the way, and to follow the sky is to follow the way of heaven, and to go against the sky is to go against the way of heaven." Gong Yi said casually.

"It seems that Mr. Gongyi has a deep understanding of Taoism, so I can't help but ask again, what is the way of heaven?"

"The way of heaven is the fate set by God, just like that Zhu Yunwen didn't deserve to die, so I followed and saved his life. It's like Zhu Yunwen should be the emperor, not Zhu Di. Gong Yi muttered.

"So what does Sir mean that I am going against the sky?"

Hu Ye had already guessed that these two old men knew their true identities, but they hadn't figured it out yet.

"As I said earlier, we can't see through your destiny, so the way of heaven doesn't apply to you. That's why we ask you, do you go with the general trend, or do you go against the sky? Zhang Yuchu muttered.

"Two gentlemen, there is a saying in the Celestial Empire, called three points are destined by heaven, and seven points depend on hard work, so I don't reject the way of heaven, but I will not be swayed by the way of heaven, I want to fight for those seven points."

Hu Ye pondered for a moment before he said such a paragraph. (To be continued......)
