In the end, Zhu Zhanyan still did not stay in the former Han Palace, but in accordance with the rules, he stayed in the Zongren Mansion where the vassal king should have lived when he entered Beijing.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Di sat in a chair, his eyes closed, his face expressionless, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking.

"Forget it......" After a long time, Zhu Di sighed softly.

"Send this to the son."

"Yes......"

……

Zongren's House.

Zhu Zhanyan is still very accustomed to Yingtian's climate, after all, he has lived here for ten years, and no matter how he says, it can be regarded as his hometown in this life.

It's only been a few years, and there's nothing you're not used to, and if you insist on saying you're not used to it, it can only be said that people have become a little unaccustomed.

"His Royal Highness, what a Yaxing."

Zhu Zhanyan was sitting on the second floor drinking tea, when he suddenly heard a teasing voice.

Looking back, Zhu Zhanyan laughed.

"This is the dry warehouse ripe pu I brought from Yunnan, a good thing, are you sure Xia Shangshu won't come and taste it?"

It's a little ridiculous to say, but it's also a little sad.

A prince of the Han Dynasty, after entering Beijing, the first person to come to him every time turned out to be Xia Yuanji.

"That's it." Xia Yuanji leaned against the door frame at the entrance of the courtyard with a smile on his face.

"Wei Zhe, I'm used to being poor, I'm afraid I can't afford this kind of good thing, if my mouth is raised, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble His Royal Highness the Prince several times in the future."

"In this way, I'm afraid it will fall into people's hands."

Zhu Zhanyan smiled, put down the teacup and stood up: "Handle? When was this kind of thing scared? ”

Xia Yuanji stood up straight and watched Zhu Zhanyan go downstairs.

"Yes, of course the famous prince of Han is not afraid, but if he can't stand Wei Zhe, he will be scared to death."

"How?" Zhu Zhanyan went downstairs and stood still in front of Xia Yuanji.

"The dignified Hubu Shangshu, the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty, Xia Shangshu is still afraid of these?"

"Afraid! Of course I'm afraid! Xia Yuanji's tone was very determined, but it was more of a joke.

"Who doesn't know the people in this world, it's true that my Xia Yuanji is the God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty, but His Royal Highness the Prince is my Xia Yuanji's God of Wealth!"

"If there is no Your Royal Highness, I am afraid that the beams of the household will have to be torn down and sold."

"Yes, I haven't seen you for almost a year, and you're good at your mouth, but what I don't know is whether your ability to manage money and food is so neat?"

"That's nature!" Natsuhara Ji smiled and stepped out of the way.

on Chang'an Street.

Zhu Zhanyan did not bring guards, only Zhu Ling and Zhu Ping hung far behind.

A prince of the Han Dynasty and a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, the two of them walked on the street like this, making the people around them look sideways.

"This should be the day, but it has changed a lot......"

Walking on Chang'an Street, Zhu Zhanyan suddenly sighed for no reason.

"I remember last time, I rode a horse and walked down this street with the gold and silver seized from the Japanese Kingdom, and I could clearly see that the people's expressions were a little different from now."

"At that time, the people were more or less hesitant, and they were happy and relieved when they saw me."

"When I see them again after a year, maybe they are not the same people I saw last year, but I can clearly see the confidence on their faces."

"This one, didn't you bring it to them, Your Highness?" Xia Yuanji put his hands behind his back, and he was full of smiles after mentioning the money.

"Last year, although His Royal Highness the Prince of the World fought Lianke in the Wa Kingdom and won great victories one after another, the haze of Warat crossing the border and the fruitless return of His Royal Highness King Zhao haunted the heads of the people and overwhelmed them."

"At that time, although Your Highness, although you took away all the soldiers from Yunnan, the people usually thought very little and very simply, they only knew that if you didn't come back, then the Ming Dynasty would deal with the grassland, and they would be the ones who would be hurt the most."

"It's different now, Your Royal Highness the Prince of the World has returned, and you came back with the great victory of destroying the Japanese king Du Heian Jing, and the people have confidence in their hearts."

"They may not understand internal affairs, or they may not understand war, but they know that as long as you come back, those people on the grassland are just clowns, vulnerable."

"Your arrival, for the people, can not only calm the riots in the grassland, but maybe, let the grassland have another Jingguan."

Zhu Zhanyan shook his head and laughed when he heard this.

It seems that his name as a god-killing god is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"When did Xia Shangshu learn to tease people?" Zhu Zhanyan stood still in front of a small stall and picked up a small bag of fried beans.

"Old man, how do you sell this?"

"No money...... the old man smiled brightly, and the wrinkles on his face gathered into a chrysanthemum.

"His Royal Highness the Prince likes to eat, it is the blessing of the little old man, and he doesn't need money."

"Look, that's not what I said." Xia Yuanji followed with a smile, took out two cents from his sleeve pocket, and put them in the old man's hand.

"Old man, I can understand your feelings of loving and revering His Royal Highness, but if you don't accept His Royal Highness's money, you will be embarrassing His Royal Highness."

"And, in the future, I'm afraid that some people will use this to say that His Royal Highness the Prince is not good."

"Who dare!" Zhu Zhanyan and Xia Yuanji didn't expect that the old man, who was originally kind and kind, suddenly raised his eyebrows angrily, and he was quite desperate.

"Whoever dares to say that His Royal Highness the Prince is not good, then the little old man will ...... Only...... Crashed to death on his door! ”

……

Zhu Zhanyan and Xia Yuanji looked at each other, and then laughed out loud.

"Old man, I got my heart, as for this crash death...... Forget it. Zhu Zhan Yan couldn't cry or laugh, and after speaking, he pulled Xia Yuanji away.

The gratitude of the people is often unpretentious, and usually they give you what they have.

"I, I feel like I've brought the people of Daming to ruin." Escaping from the small stall, Zhu Zhanyan said with a smile to Xia Yuanji.

"Look at it, what is this, opening your mouth to crash into someone's door?"

"That's it...... It might not necessarily be a bad thing......" Natsuharaji's eyes narrowed and he stopped.

"Huh?" Zhu Zhanyan threw a fried bean into his mouth, and looked back at Xia Yuanji who stopped a little strangely.

Xia Yuanji looked straight ahead, and Zhu Zhanyan followed his gaze and was stunned for a moment.

Bingbu Shangshu, Jin Zhong.

"Jin Zhong, meet His Royal Highness."

"Jin Shangshu, please." Zhu Zhanyan was a little unsure, but he still bent down to help Jin Zhong.

"His Royal Highness." Jin Zhong stood up in accordance with Zhu Zhanyan's strength, but he bent down and took out something from his sleeve pocket.

"Jin Zhong is ordered by His Majesty to hand over this thing to His Highness."

……

Jin Yiwei, Beizhen Fusi.

Zhu Zhanyan never thought that he would be able to come here again one day.

"Ji Gang has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

At the gate of Fusi in Beizhen, Ji Gang obviously got the old man's order a long time ago, and he was waiting at the door early.

"Trouble Commander Ji." Zhu Zhanyan handed over the token in his hand to Ji Gang.

"Your Royal Highness, where is this, please." Ji Gang didn't dare to put up a fight with Zhu Zhanyan now, and he was even cautious when he spoke.

Edict has never been a good place, which can be seen from his reputation in the community.

However, Zhu Zhanyan, Xia Yuanji and Jin Zhong walked in this dark and damp prison, but they didn't look like anything.

Soon, Ji Gang brought Zhu Zhanyan to a cell, knocked on the wooden fence of the cell with a scabbard, and then turned around and bowed to Zhu Zhanyan, slowly withdrawing from Zhu Zhanyan's sight.

"I haven't seen you for a year, Zhan Yan didn't expect that the high-spirited scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in the past would end up like this, which is really embarrassing."

Looking at the human form slowly revealed in the dark corner of the cell, Zhu Zhanyan's words were not sneering, but really embarrassed.

Think about it, Huang Huai is a Jinshi of Hongwu for 30 years, and he was awarded the Zhongshu Sheren that year, after the old man ascended the throne and became the emperor, Huang Huai was the first batch of Wenyuan Pavilion members.

The patriarch of the Yongle Dynasty, now that the Yongle Dynasty has not passed, it can even be said that it is at its peak, but Huang Huai, the patriarch, was imprisoned.

How can it not be embarrassing?

"What, did His Royal Highness the Prince of the World come to mock him?" Huang Huai slowly walked out of the dark corner and looked at Zhu Zhanyan with disdain.

"Then you're thinking too much." Zhu Zhanyan shook his head and smiled, he didn't expect Huang Huai to think so much.

"I don't have the habit of beating the water dogs, you may not believe it when you say it, if it weren't for the emperor's grandfather asking Jin Shangshu to hand over the token of Beizhen Fusi to me, I would never have thought of coming over."

"In my opinion, beating the reservoir dogs is a shameful thing to do, and you don't deserve it."

Huang Huai's eyes were in a trance, although it was only for a moment, Zhu Zhanyan still caught it very keenly.

He knew what Huang Huai was in a trance for, and he knew what the old man asked him to come over.

"Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes......" Huang Huai obviously had a stomach of words that he wanted to say, but when the words came to his mouth, he could only gather them into this sentence.

Some words are useless; There are some things that you can't even say.

"Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes? That's just what you think. Zhu Zhanyan smiled slightly, leaned against the railing of the cell, and turned his back to Huang Huai.

"On this day, it just didn't fulfill the intrigue of you, but it fulfilled the wishes of most people in the world."

"Humph!" Huang Huai snorted coldly and turned his head very disdainfully.

"With people like you, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty will be ruined by you sooner or later! When that day comes, Your Majesty will know what kind of scourge you really are! ”

"You...... Is it really for Daming? Zhu Zhanyan laughed out loud when he heard this.

Although no one may believe it, he really didn't want to ridicule Huang Huai like this, after all, Huang Huai had made meritorious contributions before.

Although he didn't like Huang Huai very much, Zhu Zhanyan admitted that the stability of the Yongle Dynasty was due to Huang Huai's credit.

But now......

"You are not afraid of being laughed at when you say this, to be honest, I didn't think much about making it difficult for you, after all, you are also a hero, but I didn't expect that the original Huanghuai University scholar has now become like this."

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanyan turned around and looked straight at Huang Huai's back.

"You keep saying that it is for the people of the world and for the Zhu family, but in fact? Don't you know what you're for? ”

"Huang Huai, you know what? If it weren't for Grandpa's mercy, you would have died a long time ago. ”

"You are from Zhejiang, don't you know what happened in Zhejiang after I banned the sea from the Ming Dynasty?"

"When you cleaned up the Southeast Maritime Merchants at the beginning, although you acted quickly and cleared up all the relationships that should be cleared, do you really think that you have hidden from everyone?"

"What does Jin Yiwei do, do you think he is a vegetarian?"

"Also, why did you just agree with Chen Ge's impeachment of me this time, and grandpa sent you to prison, do you think it's just because of this little thing?"

The current Zhu Zhanyan didn't leave any affection in or out of his words, and directly tore the last fig leaf of Huang Huai, and his tone was full of ridicule.

"Why, do you think it's incredible? It's so seamless, why was it still discovered? ”

Zhu Zhanyan propped up the railing of the cell and did not stop laughing at Huang Huai.

"What, do you think that if my Han King has obtained high-yield grains, it will endanger the stability of the Ming Dynasty and the position of the crown prince of the uncle?"

"I'm embarrassed to expose you, are you trying to impeach Chen Ge for me, is it really for the sake of Daming and the crown prince?"

"Isn't it for you to fornicate with Zhejiang maritime merchants, violate the ancestral teachings of the Ming Dynasty, and get the grain through various unscrupulous methods? Isn't it the salt and rations that you forced the local officials in Zhejiang to withhold from their taxes? ”

"Also, last year, you asked the imperial grandfather, saying that the coastal area was in poor grain harvest due to natural disasters, but the salt industry was not affected, and even exceeded the imperial court's estimated share of 9,368 stones, and asked grandpa to allow the people in various coastal areas to use the excess salt to deduct taxes."

"But, have you forgotten that I am a conscription, and I am not blind!"

"Last year, the people in various coastal areas paid for grain and salt, but the grain was not in the account of the Ministry of Households!"

Huang Huai froze in place, never moving, no one knew what he was thinking.

But the anger on Xia Yuanji's face was already uncontrollable.

"Huang Huai, Huang Huai." Zhu Zhanyan knocked on the wooden fence of the cell with a smile on his face, his smile was full of mockery, as if he was testing whether the cell was solid.

"You are a scholar, Hongwu has been a scholar for 30 years, I don't know if you still remember Mr. Zhang Zai's 'Four Sentences of Hengqu'?"

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations."

"How far have you done?"

As he spoke, Zhu Zhanyan smiled and shook the big chain on the cell door.

"Seriously, Huang Huai, that is, you are in this edict now, if you are not in this edict, I must take you to Taizhou Mansion."

"The news of your impeachment of me has now spread, at least around Yingtian."

"When the time comes, you will see what those people will do to you?"

"Eating its flesh and drinking its blood, I think it's all light."

"Rejoice, I'm glad grandpa saved you some face, otherwise ......"

Zhu Zhan turned around, returned the way he came without looking back, and left behind a sentence, which kept echoing in the gloomy edict.

"I'm going to skin you!"

There are always people who think that if the country is gone, there will be nothing to see in this book, are you really sure?
