Chapter 16: Xiangyang Gathering Dragons (9)
Early the next morning, Zhu Wenyu entered the court, he belonged to the Jinyi Guard, not the civil and military officials who lined up in the court, naturally did not go to the Jinluan Hall to go to the court, and he was too lazy to change into the clothes of the Jinyi Guard, that is, the usual clothes went to Donghua Gate, Zhu Wenyu became the Jinyi Guard for about a year, and his official uniform of the Jinyi Guard was not worn once, and he didn't even know if the size was fat and thin, and he probably hadn't seen such a thing since ancient times.
The guards and eunuchs in the palace are still such a group of people, and they are already familiar with Zhu Wenyu, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly greeted: "Young Master Yu, it's been a long time, where are you going?" ”
"Play? Lao Tzu's life is almost gone, still playing? Zhu Wenyu scolded with a smile, took out a gold leaf from his arms, and threw it to the guard guarding the door: "Take it, brothers, buy some wine to drink." ”
"Yo, thank you Young Master Yu, Young Master Yu has made a fortune." The guard was smiling and caught it.
"You just take it, what kind of bullshit money? Wordy, buy wine, drink and guard the door, don't sleep, if you want to be caught, don't confess me, thank you, big brother. ”
"No, no, how can it? Young Master Yu rewarded, how could the brothers affect the young master again? Right? "These guards used to mix with Zhu Wenyu before, although they kept calling Young Master Yu in their mouths, but in their hearts, no one really regarded him as a master, and they spoke casually.
"Okay, you guys, stand up, watch, be careful with your ass." Zhu Wenyu was joking nonsense, but he was already walking towards Ouchi quickly.
At this time, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet gone down to the court, Zhu Wenyu went to the guard room to wait, and now Zhu Wenyu still has the title of a "first-class guard", and the "fast knife" Qin Lu and several other first-class guards who were the leader of the team are on an equal footing, and they are very familiar with them.
was messing around, only to hear the sound of the golden bell, "The emperor's uncle has gone down." Zhu Wenyu stood up and patted the dust, he has been in the palace for many years, and these rules and signals in the palace are very familiar. Where will the emperor return in a while? ”
"It's about the South Study." A second-class guard.
"Okay, I'm leaving, and I'll talk back a few times. I have time to go to my house to bet on two ha. Zhu Wenyu doesn't like to gamble, but he knows that none of these guards don't like to gamble, before leaving Yingtian, Zhu Wenyu's house is the guards' gambling den, and there are often guards who go to his house to gamble.
"Okay, okay, Young Master Yu, with your luck, my brothers don't dare to go, for fear that they will even throw their pants at you." One of the guards laughed.
"Sui, you are like a bear, hehe, it's a big deal that I don't go to the village, you bet, my good tea and wine are waiting, let you have a good time, it's done, right?" Zhu Wenyu scolded with a smile.
These guards were waiting for this sentence, and there was a burst of cheers when they heard this, but Zhu Wenyu was already walking towards the south study in this cheer.
When I arrived at the study in Denan, I saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was walking towards this side, followed by the big eunuch chanting with him, followed by a few guards on duty, usually a first-level guard plus four second-level guards, and the guards were followed by several eunuchs carrying a canopy chair sedan chair. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a horse, he likes to do his own activities on weekdays, and he would rather walk by himself and take a walk, but the chair sedan chair behind him is always followed, preparing for when the emperor is tired and wants to rest, so he will come over and carry it immediately.
"Yo, isn't this a little monkey? Come on, come in, come in. Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Wenyu standing outside the door of the south study, and waved with a smile on his face as he entered the south study. Zhu Wenyu grew up in the palace since he was a child, and although he is now nearly twenty, he has the hat of a first-class guard, and he is also an official of a thousand households in brocade clothes, but in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is still the naughty little doll back then.
"Little monkey, you are not small, as soon as you arrive in Sichuan, you will kill me as a prefect." Sitting down in the room, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
"Uncle Emperor, Wang Dingbiao's kid is not a thing, not only imposing taxes in my name, but also forcibly seizing the people's daughters, and saying that it was prepared for me, I beat him to death in a fit of anger." Zhu Wenyu's voice is louder than Zhu Yuanzhang, and in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, I am afraid that he will be the only one in the Manchu Dynasty who dares to speak with a hippie smile without scruples.
"Hehe, okay, okay, kill well, kill well, these corrupt officials, kill one less and one less, and the common people will suffer less. According to Sun Changxu's report, you were chased and killed in Danling, Sichuan, and hid in the mountains to recuperate for a month? What's going on? Who is so bold? ”
"Your Majesty, I was about to tell you about this. That's the case, I was ordered by the emperor to go to the Nangong family in Rizhao, Shandong Province to report the news......" Zhu Wenyu talked endlessly to Zhu Yuanzhang about the things he had encountered along the way in the past year, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be shocked, and when it came to the poisoning of the heads of the Shaolin Temple, the ambush of Danling, and the attack on Chongqing Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang listened with special attention. Zhu Wenyu said briefly about the Tang Sect and the Qingcheng faction Yu Shixiong according to the method agreed with the desert and others last night, and lightly carried it in a few words, because the Desert Zeng Dao court usually pays more attention to these martial arts gangs, and in the eyes of the imperial court, these people are the kind of people who violate the law with military prohibitions, and it is easy to attract attention and vigilance if they talk too much, bringing trouble to the Tang Sect and the Qingcheng faction, and adding turmoil to the martial arts. As for the matter of the Tianyi Alliance, because it is a martial arts scourge that should be paid attention to, it is very detailed, and even some speculations about them being together are clearly explained.
This statement was said for more than an hour, and even Zhu Yuanzhang was so engrossed that he forgot to drink the tea, and Zhu Wenyu said it from beginning to end without saying a word, but he didn't interrupt him.
It was easy for Zhu Wenyu to explain the things along the way, and Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's also a loss to you little monkey, after so many things." So, is there really something wrong with this Tianyi Alliance? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhu Wenyu was busy drinking tea. "Ah, the tea in the palace is still delicious, and the tea outside is not called tea at all, it is better to drink white water."
"Hahahaha." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this. "That's nature, all the things in the palace are tribute, chanting, bring the teapot over, let this monkey drink enough, haha."
"Thank you, Emperor. Grandpa Gao, pour me some more. Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.
"In the past few years, there have been many murder cases, all of which have not been solved, and I have always suspected that there is a connection between these murder cases, and now it seems that they are all ghosts of this Tianyi Alliance." Zhu Yuanzhang groaned. "What does the Heavenly Clothes Alliance want to do? Is it really like what you think, which minister of the DPRK and China did it? ”
"I'm afraid most likely that's what my friends and I are speculating." Zhu Wenyu didn't even put down the tea bowl, and looked up and said.
"You said you met a Mongolian warrior and a few lamas in Chongqing Mansion?"
"Well, it's true that those people are lamas, but I don't know if the other person who broke his hand is from Mongolia or where, anyway, it's definitely not from the Central Plains."
"What do they want to do with the Heavenly Clothes Alliance? Do you still dare to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country? ”
"I don't know, maybe it's just a helper." After all, Zhu Wenyu didn't want to say something nonsense, so he had to say it honestly.
"Little monkey, tell me, which minister in the DPRK and China is the most suspicious behind this? Who is behind the scenes? ”
"Your Majesty, it's hard to say." Zhu Wenyu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This is a matter of losing your head, you can't guess blindly, it's a big wrongful thing to guess wrong, and blame a good person." Besides, except for a few ministers who often enter the palace, I don't know nine out of nine, what can I say? Uncle Emperor, you should spare the little monkey, for the time being, I only know about the Tianyi Alliance, and other things are just guesses, don't dare to talk nonsense. ”
"Although it's just speculation, since Zhang Qianshan belongs to the Tianyi Alliance and assassinated Nangong Aiqing, he must have a plan." Zhu Yuanzhang groaned.
Zhu Wenyu didn't dare to say more, the person in front of him was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if he said too much and inadvertently wronged someone, the emperor would not be able to take it back if his head fell off, this is a major matter of human life, a few words can kill people, but it is not something that can be guessed casually.
"Are there any people from the Tianyi Alliance in the Shaolin faction?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly burst out.
"Shaolin faction?" Zhu Wenyu was asked for a moment, pondered for a while, and said: "I don't know, at least it's not clear now, but Master Konoha has been killed, and it shouldn't have anything to do with Shaolin Temple and Tianyi League, but the possibility of a spy can't be ruled out." Zhu Wenyu said very vaguely, firstly, he didn't know what the reason for Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked about the Shaolin faction, and secondly, he really didn't dare to make assertions casually.
"The bald donkeys in the Shaolin Temple are nothing good, that Chen Youliang is from the Shaolin faction, and his master Yuanzhen is an extremely sinister and cunning character. It's best to have a chance to kill this den of thieves!" Zhu Yuanzhang said hatefully.
