Chapter 369: The Fire Tree and Silver Flower Never Sleep
Even though eight years have passed since Guo Huan's case, Lao Zhu still has palpitations whenever he thinks about it.
For the first time, Lao Zhu felt frightened, feeling that he was about to be set aside.
Who would have thought that Guo Huan would be able to pull the entire court into the water. Moreover, it involved 12 political envoys, and more than 10,000 officials, both large and small.
Zhu Yunxi lay on the bed, quietly listening to the emperor's grandfather's story of the thrilling of the year, and had a new understanding of the emperor's grandfather.
He used to be like everyone else, simply thinking that the imperial grandfather was ruthless. Even if it's not cruel and murderous, it's definitely cold-blooded.
However, looking at the old man in front of him who was crying and laughing, and his face was full of remorse and fear, he gradually realized something in his heart.
The imperial grandfather did have a thirst for killing, but he was not born with a thirst for killing, but was forced to kill.
During the day, he was framed and replaced his farm tools with weapons and armor, and he was still angry and wanted to kill, not to mention the imperial grandfather who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood!
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson understands!"
Lao Zhu stroked his grandson's head lovingly and said with a smile.
"It's good to get it!"
"Let's tell you, the emperor wants to fight with his courtiers, if you are confused, the people below will dare to fool you to death. If you are shrewd, you will not be fooled by your courtiers, but if they want to fool you, you must use your brains!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Grandson remembered!"
Zhu Yunxi has been beaten so many times, but this time he feels that it is worth the ticket price, which gives him a new understanding of the court and the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.
"Grandpa Huang, do you know how they did it?"
Lao Zhu said with a smile when he heard this.
"You can guess it!"
"What, you want us to be angry for you?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard this.
"No!"
"The affairs of the military department are solved by the grandson himself, you don't need to tell me how they did it, the grandson will find a way to investigate by himself!"
Lao Zhu saw his eldest grandson say this, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Good!"
"Then you can check it yourself!"
"Besides, the people of the Jinyi Guard have to use it, and they can't be idle all day long."
"Oh......"
Zhu Yunxi has always been wary of Jinyiwei, and he doesn't dare to use them, for fear that they will do something angry and resentful.
However, after this incident, he completely realized that he still had an intelligence organization in his hands.
"Okay!"
"Grandson will call Erhu over and ask in a moment!"
Lao Zhu shook his head when he heard this.
"Two tigers can't do it!"
"Erhu is loyal, but he is not ruthless enough, and he is far less simple than Jiang Xuan."
"You should reuse Jiang Zhen and give Jiang Zheng a chance to show his loyalty. At the same time, cultivate Chang Sen, so that Chang Sen can replace Jiang Ling at any time."
"If Jiang Sen is valuable, you will let Jiang Sen fight with Chang Sen, even if Jiang Zong bullies Chang Sen and gives Chang Sen anger, you can't help."
"On the contrary, if Jiang Zheng loses his use value, then you can summon Chang Sen, as long as you catch up with him and call him the third uncle, he can die for you!"
Zhu Yunxi's face turned green when he heard this, and he looked forward to Ai Ai's words.
"Grandpa Huang, isn't this a bit insidious......
Lao Zhu saw that the eldest grandson actually said that he was insidious, so he immediately stretched out his big fan-like hand and slapped the opponent's buttocks.
"Presumptuous!"
"Let's teach you the emperor's mental skills, you dare to scold us!"
Zhu Yunxi opened the knot in his heart and immediately felt pain. It's just that Lao Zhu doesn't slap his buttocks, he feels like there is fire on his buttocks. Now that he was slapped by Lao Zhu like this, he howled out in pain.
However, when Lao Zhu heard the wailing of his eldest grandson, he did not feel the slightest distress, but laughed out loud.
The cell next door.
Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan were dazed, and when they heard their father's owl-like laughter, they couldn't help but shudder.
"Fifteenth brother, my father is too ruthless, my eldest nephew has been beaten by sixty boards during the day, and his buttocks have been beaten, and my father still doesn't let go, and he chases him into the prison and beats him!"
Zhu Wei said "shhh
"Be quiet!"
"Don't let my father hear it, my father is a cautious eye, and when he hears us talking, he can't run over and beat us up again!"
Zhu Quan nodded like a chicken pecking rice when he heard this, and said after a while.
"Brother Fifteen, it seems that we have lost money this time!"
"It's just for three thousand taels of silver, and it's a board, and it's a big prison, and after I go out, I have to find my eldest nephew and say, if you don't add money to us this time, we won't stand up for him in the future!"
Zhu Wei thought about it when he heard this.
"Hmm!"
"You have a point, let's not lie to him, just let him sell our weapons and armor cheaply in the future!"
Zhu Quan said in disbelief when he heard this.
"Fifteen brothers!"
"The eldest nephew was repaired so badly by his imperial grandfather this time, the eldest nephew won't dare to sell weapons and armor privately in the future, right?"
Zhu Wei hated that iron could not become steel, and hammered Zhu Quan with a fist.
"Are you stupid!"
"How old is my father, how many more years can he live?"
"When the two of us become vassals in the future, the Ming Dynasty will have already replaced the eldest nephew as the emperor. When the time comes, the two of us will ask him for more weapons, and he will be embarrassed not to give them!"
Zhu Quan showed a sudden realization expression when he heard this.
"It's still the fifteenth brother who thinks far, I didn't even think of this layer of ......."
Next door to Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan, the two scribes of the Jinyi Guard, when they heard the words of the two "rebel kings", they didn't know how to record for a while.
If this is truthfully recorded and seen by His Majesty the Emperor, will the King of Liao and King Ning be slaughtered to sacrifice to the sky?
When Lao Zhu taught the emperor's mind to his eldest grandson, Shi Laigong's house was also a lively scene.
Shangshu Ruyu of the Ministry of War personally led the team and brought several squires and squires from the Ministry of War to visit.
No matter what you say, Shi Laigong was beaten for their military department, and he was a great hero of their military department.
"Shi Langzhong, you can recuperate at home, don't worry about the errand of the military department, the old man will let someone else do it for you for a while for the time being......
Originally, Shi Laigong was quite happy, and felt that Ru Yu could come over in person, which could be regarded as giving him enough face.
However, after hearing the last sentence, he was so angry that he almost spit on the old thing's face!
I was just punched twice by the two princes, why can't I go to work, I can't work!
"Lord Shangshu, there is no serious illness in his humble health, and he will be on duty normally tomorrow......
"Alas!"
"The official said that if you want to rest, you will rest, why is there so much nonsense!"
"You still have color on your face now, and the official is above the court, and in front of His Majesty, he said that you were beaten so much that you couldn't get out of bed. Wouldn't it be difficult for you to be on duty tomorrow?"
Xu Lian and Shao Yongxiang, the squires of the military department, also hurried to help when they heard this.
"Shi Langzhong, you can recuperate in peace, and leave the affairs of the military department to other colleagues!"
"Lord Ministry, too, is kind, you need to get this feeling!"
Shi Laigong was about to curse when he was lying on the bed.
Wu Xuansi is a serious fat poor!
Although most of them have to be taken out and distributed to their colleagues in the military department, they still have a lot left.
Now they are taking advantage of their "sickness" to seize their own power!
It is foreseeable that even if you get better in the future, you won't be able to get such a good errand!
Ru Yu came out of Shi Laigong's house, leaving Xu Lian alone and asked.
"Has the person who should handle it have been dealt with?"
"It's all in order!"
Ru Yu nodded, and then recited
Set out to leave.
This time to frame the emperor's grandson can be described as a dangerous move. But as long as the beginning and the end are dealt with, even the emperor will have nothing to do with them.
What's more, the weapons and armor on the carriage are all high-end goods from the hydraulic workshop in charge of the imperial grandson, even if the imperial grandson wants to deny it.
It's just that in this way, I can only support others one by one.
Otherwise, in the future, the emperor's grandson will ascend the throne and be the first to cut himself!
Just who to support?
Zhu Yunwen or Zhu Di?
Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was directly skipped by him, this person's reputation is too bad, and he can't pass this level in the court.
Jin King Zhu Li is not good, he is too emotional, once he learns that he has framed the emperor's grandson, he will inevitably settle accounts with his own autumn queen.
When Ru Yu thought of this, she sighed in her heart.
If it weren't for the fact that the imperial grandson was too capable of tossing, he didn't want to leave anything for others, and he didn't want to go against the imperial grandson.
How many years has the military department eaten the oil and water of the ordnance, even the old emperor doesn't care, he actually wants to insert a lever in it, and whoever is the secretary of the military department can't tolerate him!
After Ru Yu led everyone away, Shi Laigong, who was lying on the bed, immediately got up from the bed, came to the table and spread out the paper to write a letter.
After Shi Laigong finished writing the letter, he ordered someone to call the coachman at home.
"This letter is delivered to your master!"
"Be quick!"
"Yes!"
Shi Laigong sent the coachman away and looked out the window coldly.
Although he is just a small Langzhong, he also has a backstage!
The news of Zhu Yunxi's imprisonment soon spread all over the country. Even the Qin Wangfu in Xi'an City knew about it two days later.
When Zhu Fan heard that his eldest nephew was imprisoned in Jinyiwei's prison, he happily ate three bowls of rice in a row, and opened a jar of 20-year-old wine to celebrate.
Compared with Zhu Rong's introvertedness, Zhu Hu is much more bold.
On the night of Kaifeng Mansion, the fire trees and silver flowers never sleeped, and the king of Zhou danced at night.
Zhu Di didn't show joy after getting the news, because he knew that this was just an old man's trick, just to weaken Zhu Yunxi's sense of existence and make him not too conspicuous.
"Master Yao, Lone has lost another cadre this time!"
Yao Guangxiao took the letter handed over by Zhu Di, and sighed after reading it.
"Although Wu Xuan Shilang is not a ****, but his position is humble and powerful, this loss is indeed a great loss to His Highness!"
"Fortunately, we still have arrangements in Beijing, and the military department still has a few of our chess pieces!"
After Yao Guangxiao said this, he suddenly thought of something.
"Your Highness, why don't you ask the princess to write a letter to her mother's family......
Zhu Di shook his head when he heard this.
"No more trouble!"
"That uncle is a loyal and patriotic righteous man, and he will never get involved with a rebellious king like Lone."
"But Xu Zengshou is not bad, he has always been very close to Lone."
"It's just that for some reason, this kid was kicked out of the palace by the old man and became the commander of a broken worker's school!"
"Now I'm stupidly helping Zhu Yunxi's grandson train all day long, and I'm a little estranged from Lonely......
Yao Guangxiao also had a headache when he heard this.
Although he boasts of being full of wisdom, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
The cards in King Yan's hand were indeed too few, so he had an empty dragon slaying plan, but there was no good opportunity to show it.
Yao Guangxiao thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Your Highness, there is a good opportunity right now."
"After this incident, the military department Shangshu completely hated His Majesty, and even more hated Zhu Yunxi. If you throw an olive branch at him, he will follow him to the death!"
"At the same time, Zhu Yunwen, King Qin, and King Zhou can also use it."
"They are more anxious than His Highness, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, they are the ones who want Zhu Yunxi to die the most!"
"We might as well choose one of them to support, whether it is the King of Qin or Zhu Yunxi who becomes the emperor in the future, it will be much easier to deal with than Zhu Yunxi!"
Zhu Di thought seriously when he heard this.
"King Zhou, forget it!"
"Lone and King Zhou's mothers, don't let him get involved."
Zhongshan Ming Eastern Mausoleum, Tomb of Prince Yiwen.
Although Zhu Yunwen is filial piety on Zhongshan Mountain, he still pays attention to what happens in Beijing.
After learning that Zhu Yunxi made a big mistake and annoyed the emperor's grandfather, Zhu Yunxi secretly drank half a jar of wine.
After these months of hard life, his whole person seems to be much calmer, and he is no longer as impetuous as before.
Moreover, since he moved to the mountains, it has become easier to contact his cousin, and he no longer has to hide it like before.
When Zhu Yunwen was slightly drunk, he saw a figure flashing, and there was suddenly a figure in the empty hall of enjoyment.
He didn't even have to look to know who this person was.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a familiar voice to be heard.
"Cousin, you have the eyeliner of Jinyiwei here, you will definitely be noticed for drinking like this."
Zhu Yunwen smiled indifferently.
"Even if Grandpa Huang knew, he wouldn't blame me!"
"Lone's ability to keep the hardships here has already made the imperial grandfather look at Lonely."
"Now Lone is just waiting for your good news, as long as you get rid of Zhu Yunxi for Lone, Lone will naturally be able to regain the love of the emperor's grandfather!"
Han Yushang smiled confidently when she heard this.
"Don't worry, cousin, my cousin's side is almost ready, even if you can't assassinate her, you can make him lose his holy grace!"
"Oh?"
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Han Yushang with disdain.
He stayed in Tanglin during this time, seriously thought about his gains and losses for more than a year, and was very clear about the gap between himself and Zhu Yunxi.
There is a reason why the imperial grandfather likes Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunxi is more confident, smarter, and braver than him.
If he were the emperor's grandfather, he would also like a good saint like Zhu Yunxi.
Therefore, he did not take it seriously with what Han Yushang said.
Want to make the emperor's grandfather disappointed in Zhu Yunxi?
Difficult!
It's hard to climb!
Han Yushang naturally saw Zhu Yunwen's disbelief, but she didn't explain too much, just pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeve.
"Cousin, look at this!"
"This is what King Ming personally planned for you!"
When Zhu Yunwen heard the word "Ming Wang", he instinctively became disgusted.
In any case, he has the blood of the Zhu family flowing in his body, and he has a natural antipathy towards the rebellious leader of the White Lotus Sect.
But he still reached out and took the letter, and looked at it carefully.
Although he didn't like the title of "King Ming", he was still very interested in King Ming himself.
This person has been able to flee under the pursuit of the imperial grandfather for so many years, and he must have his merits.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the letter with such a mood, and after just one glance, his drunkenness disappeared, and his body involuntarily sat up straight.
The letter was short, with only a few words.
Zhu Yunxi opened a supply and marketing cooperative, sought to seize the people's wealth, and forced to buy and sell, which has already provoked popular uprisings in many places!
Under the pretext of building roads, Zhu Yunxi demolished countless houses, displacing tens of thousands of people from Jingshi to Datong......
Zhu Yunxi forcibly pushed the rural medical center and drove the man into the delivery room, causing the people of Shangyuan County to ......
Zhu Yunxi's opening of the City Shipping Division has already aroused the anger of the Jiangnan maritime merchants, who are plotting to deal with Zhu Yunxi and pull him down from the throne of the emperor's grandson.
Zhu Yunwen looked at it, his face full of disbelief.
However, what he was surprised about was not that Zhu Yunxi had caused public anger, but that he was surprised by Zhu Yunxi's ability.
It turned out that he was keeping filial piety on his own
During this time, Zhu Yunxi has done so many things!
How did he do it?
Where did he get so many talents?
Also, what is the maritime merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, didn't the Ming Dynasty ban the sea for many years, and did not allow the people to trade with the merchants?
"Cousin, this is ...... content."
Han Yushang smiled indifferently when she heard this.
"This is all the information that His Royal Highness King Ming personally collected for you, just for you to see, not for you to sue."
"Don't let you be lonely, don't you ......?"
"Yes, we White Lotus Sect also have people in the court, so naturally there is a way to deliver these news to Zhu Yuanzhang!"
"It's just that the evidence for these things is not very sufficient now, and the mistakes made by Zhu Yunxi are not very big. That's why we hold back and wait for the right time."
Zhu Yunwen looked puzzled again when he heard this.
"What should Lone do to be worthy of my cousin's help?"
"You don't have to do anything!"
"You just need to enter the palace at a certain time and show your filial piety to your imperial grandfather!"
When Zhu Yunwen heard this, his face finally showed gratitude.
Although he had been secretly conspiring with Han Yusheng, he had always been wary of the White Lotus Sect.
It wasn't until he heard what he just said that he knew that the other party was sincerely helping himself, not trying to rob his own country!
"Thank you, cousin!"
"If Lone becomes the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future, he will definitely make the White Lotus Sect the state religion, make you a princess, and crown the King of Ming as the Great Master of the Protector of the Country!"
"However, you'd better change the name of the White Lotus Sect."
"Otherwise, even if Lone doesn't care, those uncles will oppose it......
Han Yushang smiled slightly when she heard this.
"This is all later, after we help you become the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
……
In the cell, after Lao Zhu gave his eldest grandson a lesson on imperial psychology, he saw that the environment in the cell was too poor, and the distressed old problem was committed again.
"Eldest grandson, why don't we move back to the palace......
Zhu Yunxi was also a little moved when he heard this, but when he thought that there were two locked up next door, he felt a little unbearable.
"Grandpa Huang, will the fifteenth and seventeenth uncles also return to the palace together?"
Lao Zhu scolded on the spot when he heard this.
"What are those two bastards doing back, us off alive?"
"Let the two of them stay here, and save yourself from going out and being embarrassed!"
Zhu Yunxi said with some embarrassment when he heard this.
"If they don't go, then neither can the grandson."
"Why did the two uncles say that they also came in because of my affairs, how can there be any reason to let me out and lock them up here."
Lao Zhu didn't force his eldest grandson to say this, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was okay. can not only make the eldest grandson suffer a little and have a longer memory, but also let those two bastards appreciate the kindness of the eldest grandson, and do things for him in the future.
"Since you don't want to go, let's live here on your stomach. We've already let Hao Wenjie stay in Beizhen Fusi, if you need anything, just let him come over!"
"Good!"
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Lao Zhu originally wanted to leave when he said this, but when he thought of what his grandson had done to hide from him, he sat down again and slapped his ass.
"We almost forgot, you explain to us what happened to the iron pieces you sold to your second and fifth uncles!"
"Don't think we don't know anything, although you didn't dare to sell armor blatantly, you have sold a lot of iron pieces!"
"And wire, cowhide, and so on!"
"They were all ordered to go by water and sold secretly, right?"
