Chapter 13:-for-tat
Although Jing Kun was standing in the distance, casually dealing with Huang Zicheng, his mind was all on ** Bo. At this moment, seeing that the two of them seemed to be going out, they hurried two steps and asked, "Your Highness is recovering from illness, but where are you going?" "But the eyes are looking at the ** wave.
The crown prince Zhu Biao said with a smile: "I went to the palace with my seventeenth brother to meet my father." ”
Jing Kun's ears heard him say this, and he couldn't help but change color. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was cunning and cunning, far from being comparable to a loyal person like Zhu Biao, and was trying to dissuade him, but when he saw **Bo's resolute eyes, he was helpless, so he had to whisper: "The prince wants to rescue Xu Ying?" If so, the old decay has a word of advice. ”
Zhu Biao looked at ** Bo, nodded, and said in his heart: As Brother Quan's teacher, this Jing Kun is naturally the confidant of Brother Seventeen, and it is not surprising that he knows about Xu Ying.
Seeing Jing Kun like this, Bo could guess it, and secretly admired that his mind was turning so fast.
Jing Kun said in a low voice: "When the crown prince and His Royal Highness King Ning go down to the palace and meet the emperor, they must remember that they must not say that the two captains of the Jinyi Guard were killed by that Zhao Qingfang. Speaking of this, he paused, and then looked at ** Bo and said: "This matter still requires His Royal Highness King Ning to admit that he killed Jinyiwei by mistake, as for Hu Weiyong's rebel party Hu Ning, he was killed by the two who died. Otherwise, the situation would be even more out of control. As he spoke, his face was extremely solemn.
When the crown prince Zhu Biao heard Jing Kun say this at this time, his face showed surprise. It turned out that Xu Datuo sent a letter to his house, detailing what happened to **Bo and Xu Ying last night, but at the end of the letter, he solemnly instructed that if the prince went to the palace and explained the truth to Zhu Yuanzhang, he must not mention the matter of the Jinyi Guard Captain planting the blame, but can only ask his younger brother, Ning Wang Zhu Quan to bear it. Although Zhu Biao was puzzled, he had always admired Xu Da's wisdom, so he wanted to quietly tell him when he went to the palace and was convenient. At this time, Jing Kun actually cherished such a cherished entrustment, and he coincided with Xu Da, and he was inevitably surprised in his heart.
When Bo heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart: Those two Jinyi guards were obviously killed by the guy surnamed Zhao. Why do you want me to carry this big black cauldron? looked at Jing Kun's scorching triangular eyes, and said in his heart: Mr. Jing is very smart, he has his own reason for saying this, as long as he can save Xu Ying's girl, the black pot can only grit his teeth. The idea was made up and nodded, and said, "As long as you rescue Xu Ying, it's nothing." He pulled Zhu Biao towards his sleeve and walked out.
Jing Kun sent him out of the mansion with a threesome, and saw a young general in his twenties with bright armor, short stature, black beard and black face at the gate of the mansion bowing down in front of Zhu Biao.
**Bo had heard Jing Kun introduce the people in the palace, and knew that this person was the general of his palace, named Zuo Hong, who was responsible for commanding the sergeant guarding the palace, and he didn't care about it at the moment, and went straight to the car that the chief manager Zhou Jin had already arranged.
The prince actually took an ordinary car today, with only three entourages, and it was obvious that he came to King Ning's mansion for this trip, and he didn't want to make a big show, which was quite a cover-up.
Huang Zicheng saw that ** Bo actually got into the car, no rudeness, his eyes flashed, his face was slightly cold, he didn't make a sound, and after sending Zhu Biao to the car, he also got into the same car and put down the curtain.
The two-seater car turned out to be ** wave in front, and the prince was in the back and slowly moved away.
Jing Kun looked at the distant car, smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: Haibo, a wild boy, doesn't know the etiquette at all, and all kinds of situations fell in Huang Zicheng's eyes, I'm afraid that he will have more thoughts. After thinking about it, the crown prince Zhu Biao's help to Xu Da's daughter has its own merits, but this matter involves both Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, and the situation will have other subtleties, but it is not Huang Zicheng who should have heard it, and he actually followed him into the palace to face the king? From this point of view, although this Huang Zicheng is a well-educated person, it is obvious that he is also more than loyal, but he is ignorant of court tricks, thinking of this, he has a slight contempt for him in his heart.
Zuo Hong, the guard of the palace, has always been in charge of the guards of the "Ning Wangfu", although he and Zhu Quan do not see each other every day, but some time ago, he still knew about the illness of King Ning, and he saw that ** Bo seemed to have a vigorous gait, without the slightest sense of illness, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.
Zhou Jin saw that ** Bo actually went with the prince, and he was afraid that this guy would cause some trouble, showing his feet, and couldn't help but turn a little pale, and sweat slightly on his forehead.
Seeing Zhou Jin's actions, Zuo Hong couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, but he didn't say anything, turned around and walked away.
As soon as I thought that I was going, I was going to see Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but my heart was full of ups and downs, quite complicated, remembering that he had commanded thousands of troops and horses across the battlefield, overthrew the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty, and established the Ming Dynasty, I couldn't help but have a little reverence. In a blink of an eye, I remembered that when I was studying history in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang was evaluated in the book, but he seemed to be a well-known and ruthless emperor in the entire Chinese history, and then recalled what the crown prince Zhu Biao said just now, he punished a case of "corruption and perversion of the law" and killed tens of thousands of people, and it was inevitable that he was a little uneasy in his heart.
In another car, the crown prince Zhu Biao and Huang Zicheng were sitting. Huang Zicheng saw that only he and Zhu Biao were alone at this time, and said in a low voice: "Just now, Wei Chen saw the actions of "King Ning", and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know whether to say something or not?"
Today, he was able to mediate between his father Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, whom he had always respected, Zhu Biao was in a very happy mood, and smiled when he heard the words: "Mr. has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak." ”
"Wei Chen saw that His Royal Highness King Naning acted to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, although he was affectionate, he lost some of his courtesy." Huang Zicheng frowned and said softly.
When Zhu Biao heard him say this, he couldn't help but be stunned, slightly unhappy in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "How can you see it?" ”
Huang Zicheng looked at Zhu Biao's expression, hesitated for a moment and said, "When King Ning bowed, he was a little reluctant. At this moment, he is riding in a car again, which is really too much, and His Highness must be wary of him in the future.
Zhu Biao gently lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the bustling pedestrians on the street outside, and said with a smile: "Brother Quan, he has nothing to do, and he has been sick recently, so it is inevitable that he will be restless, but Mr. is too careful." ”
Huang Zicheng saw that he didn't care about ** Bo's previous rude behavior, although he was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he sighed in his heart: His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, lenient and kind, and the emperor's temperament is very different, very different, and he will be able to give benevolent government and benefit the people of Li when he ascends the throne in the future.
After an hour, the two cars had come to the magnificent and wide "Hongwu Gate", and the prince Zhu Biao led the two to stride in, unstoppable.
** Waves marched on the wide royal road, looking around, only to see that there were no clouds, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the bright sunlight reflected on the weapons in the hands of the team of patrolling and brightly armored sergeants, which was scorching and dazzling, and more and more reflected the grandeur of the palace. Looking up, I saw that the halls were well planned, magnificent, and extremely magnificent, and the Forbidden City in Beijing that I saw on TV in my previous life was actually similar. I sighed secretly in my heart: Although this imperial city seems to be not as large as the Forbidden City in Beijing, the architectural form is almost average.
Along the way, there were occasional officials dressed in various official uniforms, all of whom were far away and crouched on the side of the road, waiting for the prince, and did not dare to get up immediately after the audience, and only after the three of them walked away did they get up and leave respectfully.
**Bo sighed in his heart: Being the emperor's crown prince is so majestic. Although he came from a world that emphasized the equality of all people, at this moment in the majestic and grand palace, feeling the atmosphere of the supremacy of ancient imperial power, he unconsciously became silent.
Huang Zicheng looked at the military building where the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was located in the distance, and said in his heart: The emperor changed the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which controls the Chinese and foreign military, to the left, right, front, rear, and middle five Governor's Mansions, and is in charge of the affairs of the military brigade, and each leads its own capital. Moreover, except for the pro-army such as Jinyiwei, which is not under the jurisdiction of the five capital governors, although the governors are responsible for the management of the army, they do not have the power to mobilize any army without authorization. After Xu Da, the "Duke of Wei", resigned from the post of governor of the capital, he also lived in a simple place, but the generals in the army were not his former subordinates, plus he was loyal to the country, Taoguang was obscure, and he did not weave party henchmen in the court, far from Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and others are comparable, the prince is close to him, there are hundreds of benefits and no harm, thinking of this, my heart is very comforted. It turned out that he had always respected Xu Da, and this morning he learned that Xu Da asked the prince to come forward to rescue Xu Ying, so he strongly agreed with Zhu Biao's move, hoping that the prince would show favor to Xu Da.
After a while, the three of them had already crossed the Outer Five Dragons Bridge and the Noon Gate, and entered the Inner Palace City, also known as the "Forbidden City".
Huang Zicheng's heart moved slightly at this time, he looked sideways slightly at ** wave, and said with a smile: "In ancient times, the officials in charge of observing the stars in the Celestial Dynasty divided the stars in the sky into three walls, twenty-eight constellations and other constellations. The three walls refer to the Taiwei Wall, the Ziwei Wall and the Tianshi Wall. Ziweiyuan is the middle wall, also known as Ziwei Palace, Purple Palace. To the northeast of the Big Dipper. "The Taiping Son of Heaven sits in the middle, and the prudent officials are divided from all over the world", the ancients believed that it was the place where the Emperor of Heaven lived. The emperor is the son of the Emperor of Heaven, the Ninety-Five, and after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, the place where you handle the government and daily residence will become the center of the world. As he spoke, he bowed slightly to the crown prince Zhu Biao. It turned out that he seemed to be quite disobedient when he saw ** Bo before, so that he wanted to warn him with this word.
When Zhu Biao heard Huang Zicheng say this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, but he admired it a little, and said in his heart: Although Mr. Huang's move is snake-footed, but when he says this, it does not hurt Brother Quan's face.
**After seeing this Huang Zicheng, Bo felt that this guy seemed to see how he was not pleasing to his eyes, and he didn't have a good impression of him in his heart. I admired it a little in my heart, but I also felt faintly depressed, and said secretly: Hmph, could it be that you really know everything?
