Chapter 102: Weeping Tomb
Yanziji is a natural shoal, where the Yangtze River winds around a big bend, the water flow is deep and gentle, and it has naturally become the most prosperous wharf outside Jinling.
The boat that crossed the Yangtze River and went down the river slowly docked, and the flag was waving on the empty dock, and under an umbrella, the young An Wang, who still had acne on his face, stood up nervously and greeted the team that came down from the boat in advance.
He was followed by many royal relatives, mostly princesses and princesses, some of whom had never even seen Zhu Di, at this time, he saw a person walking on the boat, burly and sturdy, with a majestic face, a black hair tied under the crown, and the vassal king's robe on his body was blown by the river wind.
It's just such a majestic figure... It is no wonder that His Majesty today regards it as epiphysis.
Zhu Ying, the king of An, led the crowd to come forward to visit, and after greeting Zhu Di, he was a little relieved, and secretly said that the fourth brother looked quite a bit of the harsh majesty of Emperor Taizu, but it was not too difficult to get along with, and the smile on his face was also a little enthusiastic, and he almost invited Zhu Di into the carriage and returned to the capital in the same car.
It is not far from Yanziji to Jinling, you must know that you can go directly to the outside of Jinling City by waterway, along the way Zhu Di chatted with these relatives who were not very familiar with each other for a while, and both sides tacitly avoided those topics about cutting the domain, but they looked happy, Gu Huai followed the guards on horseback, watching this scene Xindao Tianjia are all good actors.
But it's no wonder... To put it bluntly, some things are uncles and nephews fighting for a position, and the result has evolved into turmoil within the scope of the whole Ming Dynasty, but at this moment, the two sides have already been regarded as poor daggers, and on the surface they have to show a look of blood thicker than water, which is really sighing.
All the way is the official road, such a large size of the guard naturally attracted the attention of passers-by, the honor guard sent by the imperial court has exceeded five hundred, plus the two thousand guards brought by King Yan, at first glance it looks like a general returned from the expedition, the people on the side of the road have gathered, watching the two vassal kings on the carriage arm to talk happily, Zhu Di's identity naturally spread slowly, attracting a lot of heated discussions.
This kind of discussion reached its peak when entering Jinling City, and the people in the city took to the streets one after another, all wanting to see the demeanor of His Royal Highness King Yan, who was a hot topic in Jinling City this year, and the street was very lively, and the already prosperous Jinling City was even more rubbing shoulders at the moment, and all eyes converged into the focus on the figure who was sitting in danger.
However, these sights also made Zhu Ying, the king of An, who was sitting next to Zhu Di, a little like pins and needles, and he forced a smile: "Brother Huang, the early dynasty has passed, but it is inconvenient to go to face the saint again, do you want to go to the Dongzhimen wing room to rest first, and wait for tomorrow morning..."
Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Ying with a smile and shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, let people take my guards to the military camp outside the city, don't disperse the honor guard first, I... I want to take a good look at Jinling. ”
When was the last time you were back? Yes, it was before he became a vassal, and Hongwu left Jinling in the thirteenth year and never came back.
It's just that things are not people...
Anwang Zhu Ying is only sixteen years old now, and he was already a little restless beside Zhu Di, who was more and more similar to Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of majesty, and heard that Zhu Di was willing to take the initiative to disband the vassal king's guards and only visit Jinling City, so he hesitated for a moment and agreed, and ordered the honor guard not to enter the palace city, but to walk along the main road.
So the strict military discipline of the Yanwang guards turned around and went to the military camp outside the city to station, and the honor guard took a turn in front of the palace and walked along the inner city, but there was a bit of the taste of the Son of Heaven patrolling.
After this action, there were more people who rushed over to watch after getting the news, but there were fewer cheers and salutes, and there was vigilance and scrutiny in his eyes, Zhu Di didn't seem to be aware of it, and waited until the honor guard had turned through the two palace gates before looking at the right side of the car.
Gu Huai and Ma Sanbao followed not far away on horseback, and when they noticed Zhu Di's gaze, Gu Huai nodded slightly.
Zhu Di suddenly spoke: "Turn around, go out of Chaoyangmen, I want to go to Zhongshan to worship the filial piety tomb first." ”
King An was stunned, and then his face changed slightly: "Brother Huang, if you haven't met Your Majesty first..."
"Go to Xiaoling."
The three cold words, coupled with Zhu Di's murderous aura of long-term battles, Zhu Ying only felt that the heavy dark clouds pressed over, as if he saw the charge of thousands of troops and horses on the desert yellow sand... His throat twitched for a while, and he said bitterly: "Both... Listen to the royal brother. ”
Ma Sanbao didn't know what Zhu Di and Gu Huai had discussed, and at this moment, when he saw that the guard of honor began to turn, it was clear that he was going out of the inner city, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Where are you going?" ”
"Filial piety."
Ma Sanbao was slightly surprised: "If you don't have a face saint, you will go to worship the tomb of the first emperor first, right..."
"When my son goes home, he will worship his parents' tombs first, and it is reasonable to say that the sky is broken," Gu Huai sighed, "If someone stops him from worshipping... Who do you think the people are right? ”
has been managing affairs in the palace all the year round, and Ma Sanbao's political understanding is also extremely high, and he understood it after just a little thought: "It makes sense." ”
"It's just that there are still some fly in the ointment," Gu Huai touched his chin, "I originally planned to make the prince cry and make trouble in the street... How many people are watching next to the long street? Some words came out of the king's mouth today, or it won't be long before they spread all over the world, isn't this more efficient than pretending to be sick in Beiping? Why can't you say the prince can't pull it down? ”
Ma Sanbao was almost speechless, "The prince didn't smoke you, it is considered that you have cultivated yourself in the past few years, if you had used troops on the grassland a few years ago, I would have to hang you up and smoke." ”
"Is it that serious..."
Ming filial piety mausoleum was built in Hongwu 14 years, is the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma joint burial tomb, even now is still under repair, still not completed, filial piety mausoleum is in Jinling City, but not in the inner city, out of Chaoyang Gate has to walk a distance.
The guard of honor walked very slowly, and the people behind him naturally followed, and Zhu Ying, the king of An, sent someone to the palace to report the news, and persuaded Zhu Di to turn around with bitter words, but Zhu Di didn't say a word, just looked at the direction of Zhongshan, and when he could barely see the dismounted stone workshop in front of the filial piety, he stood up, but scared King An, who kept talking.
"Brother Huang, you..."
Where is Zhu Di in the mood to talk nonsense with him, he began to untie his belt without saying a word, King An thought that Zhu Di was crazy at first, but after Zhu Di took off the robe of the vassal king, he revealed a filial piety suit, jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the horse workshop.
This series of accidents dumbfounded the royal family members in the guard of honor, and before they could react, one of the Yan Wang guards who accompanied him presented a white cloth, and Zhu Di took over the head, and suddenly became a linen and filial piety dress that was worn only when the soul went out of the funeral.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Stay in front of the mausoleum!" I want to worship my father! ”
"Yes!"
King An's cheeks twitched, knowing that something big was going to happen!
He learned from Zhu Di to jump out of the car, and before he could make a sound, he saw that Zhu Di's footsteps had not stopped, and he had already howled:
"Dad, mother! The child is not filial, the child has come to see you! ”
