Chapter 24: The Assassins of the Palace (7)



Zhu Di thought for a while, thinking that although he also has guards around him on weekdays, they are generally some soldiers, maybe Kong Wu is powerful, but there is no real martial arts master, if there is really a martial arts master, these people can't help fighting, he has also seen the palace guards practice martial arts before, even if he doesn't know martial arts, he can almost see that if he is a guard master, such as the leader of the "fast knife" Qin Lu, only two can enter the realm of no one in the Yanwang Mansion, and there is no responsibility to protect at all. If it is really the Mongols who want to assassinate themselves, they must be sent by good hands, not to mention anything else, even if it is the few Mongols who set up a ring in Beiping City a few days ago, martial arts can beat the invincible opponents in Beiping, if the assassin has such skills, this Yan Wangfu is almost like a paper paste. Fortunately, Zhu Wenyu, who once single-handedly challenged the Mongols in the ring, took on the responsibility of guarding, which finally made him feel more at ease. However, this Zhu Wenyu is also an official of the imperial court, and he is not a family member of the Yan Wangfu, so he has to leave, and it will be a troublesome matter at that time, so it is better to really set a trap for those assassins to drill and drill, and eliminate the future troubles in one fell swoop, otherwise it is not a way to wait so much. It seems that the method Zhu Wenyu said can really be tried, and he quietly moved to Wei Garden, which is the center of the army barracks, a confidential place, and the prevention is naturally more than 10,000 times stronger than this Yanwang Mansion, plus a dozen or so carefully selected middle-level generals to protect him, there should be no problem in safety, and then leave Zhu Wenyu in this Yanwang Mansion to wait for rabbits, and if he catches it, he will not be in trouble. Thinking of this, Zhu Di was in a much better mood, and a smile actually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Well, it's okay, according to what you said, Lord Zhu, I just hope that the assassin doesn't know the inside story and jumps into Lord Zhu's net." ”

"Hehe, thank you for your auspicious words, I don't know when the prince plans to leave? I'll tell Mr. Ding to prepare. ”

"Oh...... Then ...... Let's set off tomorrow. ”

"Lord Wang, if there are assassins who want to assassinate the prince, I am afraid that there are Mongol spies around the Yan Wangfu these days, and if the prince goes out to Wei Garden in broad daylight, I am afraid that the assassins will know about it and will no longer be fooled." Zhu Wenyu bowed.

Zhu Di thought for a while, good guy, you little cub actually care when I go out? However, he also had to admit that Zhu Wenyu did have some truth in what he said. King Yan has always been accustomed to no matter what he thinks in his heart, he has always maintained an expressionless look on his face, so that people can't figure out what he is thinking, this point Zhu Di has already experienced at a very young age, the stronger the sense of mystery given to people, the more others will not understand, and the more they will listen to him, so he rarely looks at his mood and anger, and he has the nickname of "King of Cold Noodles", and at this time he said expressionlessly: "Then according to Lord Zhu's meaning, when should this king go out?" ”

How could Zhu Wenyu think so much, and he didn't think about it at all, he just said his thoughts to himself: "It's best for the prince to go out before dawn after dark, the fewer people the better, you can't sit in the prince's own sedan chair, it's best to top the most ordinary official sedan chair, some luggage and the like are separated, and then meet in Wei Yuan, anyway, you can't let the assassins see any flaws, you must make them believe that the prince is still in the mansion, and then the rest is the affairs of your subordinates." ”

If it were someone else, he would never dare to speak like this in front of Zhu Di, letting Zhu Di go out like this would be almost like being a thief, and he would lose the dignity of the prince. But Zhu Wenyu himself is not a master who always pays attention to pomp and decency, and his mind didn't turn to that at all? Naturally, he said whatever he wanted, and he didn't think of offending Wang Ye Huwei.

Who knows that although this Zhu Di is a prince, a knight, and a young man, he is still in his twenties, not much older than Zhu Wenyu, and he still likes to be fresh. I only felt fresh, and my heart was already eager to try, but there was no such excitement on my face, I just pretended to groan (this is also a habit), and then said lightly: "Okay, then according to what Master Zhu said." ”

The next thing is to arrange everything, Zhu Di first pointed to a few people who went to Wei Garden with him, Manager Deng naturally wanted to stay in the mansion, Zhu Wenyu and the desert arranged to leave one person to go with the king of Yan, the rest of the people went directly to Wei Yuan to wait, as for the ten generals brought by Ding Ying, Zhu Wenyu explained that they must be good to protect the safety of the prince, and ordered them to wait for the sedan chair of the king of Yan outside the gate of Beiping City, and then go to Wei Garden together, and the desert pulled Ding Ying to tell a few words alone. King Yan also summoned his family and sternly warned his family not to confide in outsiders about King Yan's whereabouts, otherwise the family law would serve him. Zhu Di has always been strict in governing his family, and with this life, it can be said that no one dares to disobey.

After tossing for three or four days, Zhu Di finally made proper arrangements, and Zhu Di took a small sedan chair after nightfall on the first day of the first day of November, and went out of Beiping City in the night.

When Zhu Di arrived in Wei Garden, he began to deal with official documents to rectify military affairs and transfer officers and soldiers, and the ten generals who were selected were escorted with him and handed over military orders, and over time, he became a confidant of King Yan. Later, Zhu Di greatly changed the personnel of the army, and the ten generals and cronies were reused, replacing the original generals with troops, and finally firmly grasped the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops in northern Xinjiang in his own hands, and then the crown prince Zhu Biao died early, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, established Zhu Biao's eldest son Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson, which was later Emperor Jianwen. After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Jianwen wanted to reduce the military power of the king, the king of Yan was unwilling to lie dormant and raise troops to make a rebellion, and finally drove Emperor Jianwen out of the capital and fled without a trace, and he ascended the throne as the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, relying on this time to firmly get the military power in his hands, but these soldiers have been stationed in Beiping for many years, Beiping City is the foundation of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Zhu Di, who became the emperor, moved the capital of the Ming Dynasty from Yingtian to Beiping City, and built a new imperial city in Beiping City in accordance with the regulations of the Emperor's Palace, which is the Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Beiping eventually became the center of China's political culture for hundreds of years, but all this was beyond the expectations of Zhu Wenyu and his ilk at that time. This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

But said that after King Yan left, Zhu Wenyu discussed with Mr. Deng again, rearranged it, and placed three or four rooms around the study for Zhu Wenyu, Nangong Ling and the desert to live, the original study wall Zhu Sha lived in the house by Tang Yun and Maya, five people everywhere, just surrounded the study room, now anyway, King Yan is not in the house, there is no need to be distracted to protect King Yan personally, naturally I also feel that the manpower is almost enough, so I didn't want to call more people to help.

Zhu Wenyu and the others either rested in the mansion during the day, or accompanied Tang Yun and Maya to walk on the street, and slept in their own rooms at night, always on the alert to see if any assassins came to the door. Who knew that after waiting for two or three days, there was still no trace, Zhu Wenyu couldn't help but have no bottom in his heart, carefully recalled to see if there was any flaw in the layout, and after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly groaned and slapped his thigh: "Oh no!"

"What's wrong?" The desert next to him asked.

"Forgot something important."

"Forgot something?" This time, even Nangong Ling came over to ask.

"You said that the Duke of Wei returned to Beijing, and King Yan commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in northern Xinjiang, how could there be no military orders? There was not even a soldier in front of the Yan Wang's mansion, and the assassin naturally knew that the Yan King was definitely not in the mansion. Zhu Wenyu frowned.

Nangong Ling thought about it, and couldn't help but frown, if the assassin really saw the flaw, not only would it be in vain to wait here, but also King Yan would be even more dangerous if he didn't have a master guard on Wei Yuan's side.

Desert smiled on the side and said, "No, I've already arranged it." ”

"Oh? Scheduled? How is it arranged? Zhu Wenyu asked.

"I told General Ding and General Manager Deng that General Ding sent a few stout soldiers who could be seen at a glance to be from the army, dressed in civilian clothes, and every day they would go back and forth from Wei Yuan to Yanwang's Mansion on fast horses, enter and exit from the small door, and then let General Manager Deng greet them for a meal, and then beat the horses back the same way after a quarter of an hour or two." Desert smiled.

"Haha, there's you, stinky eagle!" Zhu Wenyu happily patted the desert on the shoulder: "You have enough ghost ideas." ”

"This method is good, there are fast horses going back and forth every day, it seems that the official documents are frequent, and the military uniform is mysterious, and in the eyes of the assassins, it must be determined that King Yan is still in the palace, and the official documents continue to command the army every day." Nangong Ling also smiled.

"Haha, exactly." Zhu Wenyu laughed, it seemed that there was indeed no loophole, so he could only wait patiently for the assassin to come to the door.

After a few days of doing nothing, when he was having lunch, the desert suddenly said to Zhu Wenyu: "Brother Zhu, I'm afraid it's only been these two days." ”

"How do you know?" Maya next to her asked as she picked up vegetables.

"Brother Sha said that there were suspicious people wandering around the Yanwang Mansion in the past two days, right?" Nangong Ling smiled.

"These bastards, I've been waiting impatiently, I've wanted to bring those people over to beat a few boards since yesterday, and we came so late to make us wait for so long." Zhu Wenyu took a bite of food indignantly.

"Brother Yu, do you know too?" Tang Yun asked. "Why don't you know with me Maya?"

"Just those few people, I can see it a long time ago." Zhu Wenyu was still chewing rice in his mouth, glanced vaguely in the direction of the mansion gate, and took another bite, filling his mouth. "Just the two of you? I can't go shopping every day, so how can I pay attention to these? ”

"Hmph, what's going on!" Maya put the bowl on the table and pouted. Tang Yun didn't say anything, just buried his head in eating.

"Hehe, Maya, you don't pay attention to it, but you can see it if you pay a little attention." The desert hurriedly played a round.

"Hehe, okay, okay, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, don't be angry, two aunts, can't I be wrong?" Zhu Wenyu hurriedly put down the bowl and apologized again and again.

"Flutter." Tang Yun smiled and put down the bowl: "Who is angry?" Let's go, sister, have you finished eating? Let's go back to the house. Let the three of them talk together, and we'll play with ours. After that, he pulled Maya, who was still pouting, and left, but when he walked out of the room, he heard Maya's laughter eating and eating.

Only then did Zhu Wenyu pick up the bowl, and shook his head with a wry smile while eating: "Alas, two tigresses, it's really hard to mess with." ”
