On the outskirts of Beijing.

In late spring and early summer, catkins fly.

A horse-drawn carriage with a red roof bumped along the official road leaving Beijing.

The guards of the Yan Wang's Mansion rode horses on both sides of the carriage.

In the carriage, Zhu Di lay on his side, as if asleep.

Next to him was the old monk Yao Guangxiao, who sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

This time I came to Beijing with hope.

It turned out to be a trip in vain!

Not only did it come in vain, but it also left a lot of shadow on Zhu Di.

A few days after the Shenji Battalion reviewed, the imperial grandson invited King Yan to hunt in the suburbs.

Zhu Dixin said that hunting is my specialty!

A hand must be shown!

When Zhu Di's performance is over and a bunch of prey is displayed.

The imperial grandson suddenly pointed to a deer and said solemnly: "King Yan shoots a deer, it seems that the fourth uncle also wants to chase the deer in the world!" ”

This frightened Zhu Di so much that he hurriedly denied the three times.

I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect the imperial grandson to chat and suddenly ask: "Does the Yanwang Mansion have a private collection of weapons?" ”

Zhu Di wondered, whose palace has no guards? How can those ordnance be called private collections?

He once suspected that the imperial grandson was digging a hole for himself.

All in all, since Zhu Di entered Beijing, the imperial grandson has come out like this every once in a while, and I don't know if he is beating or playing.

Zhu Di was worried every day, and he didn't dare to stay in Beijing any longer.

He decided to return to Beiping.

The wind outside the carriage swept in one after another, Zhu Di opened his eyes suddenly, and couldn't help but open the curtain next to the carriage to look.

Kyoshi in spring is beautiful!

The towering towers fade away, as if out of reach......

Suddenly, the carriage stopped with a "click".

Ahead, another black-roofed carriage stopped in the middle of the post road, blocking the way.

The two Yanwang Mansion guards who were riding their horses in front of them glanced at each other vigilantly, and then galloped over together.

"Get out of the way!"

The coachman in the carriage opposite, however, sat there motionless, with his hat on his head, like a dashing knight.

The two guards became more alert, and quickly looked at each other again, and both reached out to grasp the hilt of their swords at the same time.

At this moment, the curtain of the other carriage was lifted, and a man emerged from the carriage.

"Who is Yao Guangxiao?"

The guards of the Yan Wang's Mansion shouted, "Who are you?" Dare to stop the carriage of Yan Wangfu! ”

"Let me ask again, who is Yao Guangxiao?"

Ji Gang yawned and deliberately turned sideways to reveal half of his waist card.

The two palace guards were shocked: "Jinyi Guard?!" ”

They were silent for a moment, and looked at the carriage.

At this glance, he neither violated the discipline of the palace nor offended Jinyiwei.

Ji Gang, who is also a worker, understands it and has no embarrassment for the two.

He shouted at the carriage: "Yao Guangxiao, your matter has happened, come with us!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

There was a cold cheer from inside the carriage.

Zhu Di walked out: "You don't know that this is the carriage of Yanwangfu?" ”

"I know, if I don't know, I won't stop it."

Ji Gang hugged his fist at Zhu Di: "Ji Gang, who is a hundred households in Jinyi, has seen His Royal Highness King Yan, and he is ordered to do errands, please don't blame." ”

Knowing that the other party was Jinyiwei, Zhu Di's heart sank.

"Who sent you?"

He was most worried about his father, Emperor Hongwu.

Ji Gang replied: "The imperial grandson! ”

This kid again?

How did he know about Yao Guangxiao?

Yao Guangxiao's identity has always been the abbot of an ordinary temple, and the Yanwang Mansion has a lot of packaging to cover up his identity.

Zhu Di asked with a dark face: "What did Yao Guangxiao do?" ”

Ji Gang didn't say anything, just smiled: "His Royal Highness King Yan, do you really want to know?" ”

Zhu Di's heart shrank suddenly.

At this time, he already understood that the old monk and his conspiracy had probably been discovered by Jinyiwei!

God knows how many eyes and ears have been inserted by Jinyiwei in the Yanwang Mansion of Jingshi!

Or is the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping airtight......

Zhu Di thought to himself, it would be better to return to Beijing less in the future.

"Has the imperial grandson ever summoned Gu?"

"Never." Ji Gang said.

Zhu Di didn't pay attention to him anymore and walked straight to the carriage.

Yao Guangxiao also got out of the carriage, folded his hands and said, "It seems that the poor monk is in a catastrophe." ”

As he spoke, he took the initiative to walk towards Jinyiwei.

The biggest characteristic of him is that he can see openly.

"Wait a minute!"

Zhu Di stopped him: "I want to drink a pot of wine with the master." ”

Jinyiwei arrests people, especially Jinyiwei of the Hongwu Dynasty, who dares to resist?

Zhu Di didn't dare.

"His Royal Highness King Yan?"

Yao Guangxiao didn't expect that at this critical juncture, King Yan was not afraid of being implicated and insisted on saying goodbye to himself.

looked at Jin Yiwei.

Ji Gang took out the portrait and compared it carefully, before nodding and saying, "A quarter of an hour at most." ”

After speaking, he stepped aside and stared at it from afar.

Under a willow tree not far from the official road.

Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao sat cross-legged opposite each other, letting the catkins fall on them like snowflakes.

The coachman took out a jar of wine from the carriage, placed it in front of them, and placed two bowls on it.

Yao Guangxiao's eyes lit up when he saw the familiar wine jar at first glance, and then turned his eyes to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di said: "That's right, it's the jar of wine we drank when we first met in Jingshi in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, and I have been sealing the remaining half of the jar in Jingshi's palace." ”

"At the beginning, you and I had a very happy conversation, and you said that the remaining half of the altar would be reserved for drinking when the future is successful......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Di's eyes moistened.

The old monk was arrested before he was paid......

Zhu Di opened the lid of the altar, first poured Yao Guangxiao's bowl full, and then poured it into his own bowl.

He then picked up the bowl: "Old monk, I respect you!" ”

Yao Guangxiao picked up the bowl and looked at Zhu Di with stunned eyes: "His Royal Highness King Yan ......"

After knowing each other for more than ten years, King Yan has only given toasts to three people.

First, Emperor Hongwu.

Second, Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan.

Third, the crown prince Zhu Biao.

Apart from these three, there is no one else.

Zhu Di once said: My father, my father-in-law, my brother, who else in the world deserves to toast me?

Moved his gaze to the wine bowl.

A few lonely catkins fall on the surface of the wine and slowly melt into the wine.

"Old monk, I can't stop you......"

Zhu Di said, brought the wine to his lips and drank it a few sips.

Their relationship with them for more than ten years is difficult for outsiders to understand.

What the two stole was not love, but the world!

Yao Guangxiao smiled: "King Yan, why do you blame yourself, I am assisting you, it is for the way of heaven, not for the common people in the world...... If there is a change in the Tao today, woohoo helpless! ”

As he spoke, he brought the wine bowl to his mouth and drank it in a few sips.

He felt like he had been tricked by God.

Obviously said good things, why did they change their hexagrams?

Zhu Di poured Yao Guangxiao full of wine again.

Two of you, one bowl and one bowl I'm dry.

I don't know what topic to talk about, Zhu Di's hands trembled a little, and he came to his mouth and took a few sips, but he choked and coughed violently......

"Damn, people choke on drinking when they are unlucky!"

Zhu Di smashed the bowl with a punch.

Yao Guangxiao leaned his neck and drank the wine, and then lit up the empty wine jar towards Zhu Di.

"It's all over, the broken jar is broken!"

The jar was shattered.

Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao glanced at each other, and then laughed loudly......

The sound alarmed Jin Yiwei.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, you can go on the road."

"It seems that the poor monk has someone in charge of the rest of his life."

Yao Guangxiao glanced at Zhu Di and clasped his hands together: "King Yan take care." ”

The two parted.

Zhu Di knew that with this parting, he lost his wisdom and courage.

On the same day, Yao Guangxiao was escorted to the edict prison by Jinyi Guard.

What awaits him will be a special conversation.
