At three o'clock in the sun, Chen Yuan stood outside the Fengtian Palace, waiting for Zhu Di to summon him. He came from Shaanxi in the dust, and he didn't even bother to take a sip of water.

Kuang Yu stayed in Shaanxi to settle the hearts of the people, and only the little girl Chunhua followed back to Beijing. didn't care about arranging her, so he hurried into the palace.

Although it was already the beginning of October, the sun was about to enter winter, spraying the last heat and sweating profusely.

When Chen Yuan first entered the palace, he was like a fly without a head. There are only a few words in my heart, big, really big, really extravagant. Fortunately, there is no literati here, if he accidentally says it, he will be despised again.

From afar, I saw the palace maids, guards, and eunuchs walking in an orderly manner, without a trace of panic, and they didn't dare to make any noise. It's all solemn.

Chen Yuan sighed in his heart, that is, people who yearn for power and don't know like to enter the palace, but he hates this feeling very much, everything has rules, everything has to be monitored, not to mention being punished for making mistakes, it is this feeling of no freedom, which is chilling.

After a long time, I saw a eunuch walk out of the gate of the Zhonghe Palace, whisk the dust, and shouted: "Xuan Chen Yuan is here!"

Before he entered the palace, Kuang Yu had already taught him the etiquette of dealing with the court, but he couldn't remember too much, and after listening to the call of the eunuch, it seemed that he had stepped forward to salute, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Grass people Chen Yuan has come to see him." ”

The little eunuch smiled slightly, and said, "Chen Xianggong, please come in with me", and said that he turned around and went in first, Chen Yuan hung his head and hurriedly followed.

He didn't dare to look around, so he just followed the footsteps of the little eunuch and walked in, and when he reached the end of the scarlet carpet, the little eunuch flashed to the side and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Xianggong Chen has arrived." ”

Zhu Di waved his hand and motioned him out, the little eunuch bowed back and withdrew, and the guards who guarded the door closed the door.

Chen Yuan knelt on the ground, put his palms up on the blanket, knocked his forehead on his fingertips, and raised his breath and said: "Grass people Chen Yuan, knock to see the emperor."

An old man's deep voice said, "Excuse me, get up." ”

Chen Yuanhu wondered, why was this voice so familiar, "Your Majesty!", although he was curious, he still didn't dare to look around, the companion was like a tiger, the rumored Zhu Di was cruel and easy to kill, he didn't dare to be rude easily, got up and respectfully stepped aside.

Zhu Di said: "Don't be restrained, raise your head." ”

Chen Yuan still didn't have the sense of awe of the emperor and the son of heaven that the scholars at that time, he wouldn't say anything about the ministers being afraid, the ministers didn't dare to kowtow, and then waited for the emperor to laugh twice, waved his hand, and said "I forgive you for your innocence", and then raised his head, so after listening to Zhu Di's words, he immediately raised his head and looked behind the Long Shu case.

Zhu Di is majestic, very majestic, the tiger is not angry and self-threatening, he stands, his hands crossed in front of him. He wears a winged crown and a narrow-sleeved dragon robe with a disc neckline.

Chen Yuan was shocked, then, isn't that the old man who gave him clothes when he slept on the street? In Jiming Temple, he thought he was a military general, careless, he told himself so much, what family business is big, what son fights for family business, he should have thought of it a long time ago, he is Zhu Di.

Chen Yuan let out an "ah" and pounced: "The grass people don't know that it is Your Majesty, they are wandering, offending Tianwei, Your Majesty forgives them." ”

Zhu Di raised his hand and said, "Get up, those who don't know are not guilty, I said that I will not pursue the previous matter." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Yuan got up, and now he has answered his previous doubts, why did Zhu Di know about himself and let him accompany Kuang Yu to Shaanxi.

He came to see the emperor today, just to report on the situation in Shaanxi, Zhu Di motioned for him to say directly, and he told everything he saw and did.

Zhu Di's face was pale, his eyes were bright, and two words popped out of his teeth: "Damn." ”

Zhu Di didn't slap the table, let alone get angry, Long Yan was furious, but those two words were as cold as a thousand years of ice, and Chen Yuan couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Zhu Di didn't speak for a long time, Chen Yuan finished speaking, quietly, in the entire hall, Chen Yuan could hear his own inaudible breathing.

"Gone?" Zhu Di asked lightly.

Chen Yuan's heart suddenly sudden: "Back to the emperor, it's gone." ”

Zhu Di snorted: "I ask you, why did you suddenly catch fire after collecting so many crimes?" ”

Chen Yuan was silent on the surface, and was shocked in his heart, this thing was done unconsciously, only Kuang Yu, himself and Ren Tonghu knew about it, how did Zhu Di know?

"The grass people deserve to die, the guards accidentally knocked over the fire candles, but fortunately the fire was put out in time, only part of it was burned, and the grass people deserved to die."

"Really?"

"Damn the grass people!"

Zhu Di suddenly shouted: "I ask you, whether Gao Xu is involved, whether he is behind the scenes instructing Wu Yingde Zhanghuai, exploiting the people, and forcing the people to rebel." ”

"Back to the emperor, the grass people follow the Qin to send the adults to run errands, official business, Wu Yingde Zhanghuai fish and meat people, the evidence is conclusive, as for what the Han King, the grass people don't know."

Zhu Di leaned over and said angrily: "Look at my eyes." ”

Chen Yuan raised his head, Zhu Di's eyes were bloodshot, it was a rage that wanted to flow like a river of blood. He was scared to death in his heart, but on the surface, he was still not afraid and did not show any panic, as if this was the case.

"Who did Wu Yingde honor, I will know it after a check, I will ask you again, is the King of Han behind the scenes?"

————

In the womb, Zhu Gaochi was enjoying singing and dancing, and his graceful dancing posture and moving posture made him fascinated.

A few palace maids fanned him to drive away the heat.

Although he is the crown prince, Zhu Di seems unwilling to let him participate in too many political affairs, so he is idle.

Because he was too fat to ride a horse and shoot arrows, he had no entertainment, and most of the time was spent on women and enjoying singing and dancing.

Suddenly, a eunuch came to Zhu Gaochi and whispered. Zhu Gaochi was so shocked that he almost fell.

Hurriedly asked the dancer to retreat and said to the eunuch, "Go and find Zhanji." ”

Zhu Zhanji was fighting crickets, and was summoned by his father, reluctantly, and said casually: "Father, you are looking for me." ”

At this moment, they were left with father and son in the house.

Zhu Gao asked sharply: "Let me ask you, did you ask Ren Tonghu to tell Your Majesty about Kuang Yu's burning of letters." ”

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "I thought my father had something important, yes, Ren Tonghu's chess piece was used as the key, instructing officials to exploit the people, expand his power for himself, and mobilize troops privately, which is enough for my second uncle to be sentenced to death, father, this time, let him never turn over." ”

Zhu Gaochi's nose was crooked, and he pointed at his son and said angrily: "You, you are confused." ”

Zhu Zhanji said disapprenously: "Father, they have framed you so many times, why are you still protecting them." ”

Zhu Gaochi hated that iron could not become steel: "What do you know? Do you know what your grandfather's biggest heart problem was? His old man's biggest heart problem is that he is afraid that our brothers will kill each other, and he has robbed your uncle of the throne, and he has been haunting it until now, has Gao Xu made fewer mistakes? You want your grandfather to kill Gao Xu, from now on, you and I, father and son, just wait to be given death by your grandfather at any time, the death of one son is death, and the death of two sons is also death. ”

Zhu Zhanji's face changed.

Over the years, Gao Xu was brought to Le'an by the old man, and he still cared about him, often allowing him to enter Beijing and giving him things. As long as he doesn't jump in the middle of the court, your grandfather will think that our brothers are fine. Now, you, you, you, didn't you expose us, brothers cannibalism, your grandfather is the most taboo this. ”

Zhu Zhanji knew that he was scared, and said, "Then, what should I do?" ”

Zhu Gaochi hung his head and said, "What else can I do?" Now, I just hope that Chen Yuan, I hope he bites it. ”
