Chapter 44: King Yan, You Wait for the Palace!

"Miaojin knocks on the princess!"

The embarrassment on Xu Miaojin's face flashed, and she hurriedly bowed her head.

"Mother!"

Zhu Yunwen greeted him, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Lu Tieqing's face.

Lu Shi squeezed out a smile, looked at Xu Miaojin, and said, "Miss Miaojin is so free, come to find Bing'er to make the wind and the moon!" ”

"Miaojin ......"

Xu Miaojin just wanted to explain out loud, but Zhu Yunwen snatched the words: "It was Bing'er who sent someone to invite Miss Miaojin into the palace!" ”

Lu Shi glanced at Zhu Yunwen: "Mother didn't ask you!" ”

The aura of embarrassment in the air made Xu Miaojin just want to flee quickly at this moment.

"Since Niangniang has something to do with His Royal Highness, then Miaojin will retire first!"

Xu Miaojin said and made another gesture, and after getting the nod and permission of the Lu family, he hurriedly withdrew from the study.

"Miaojin ......"

Zhu Yunwen wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Lu:

"Blink!"

With a cold drink, Zhu Yunwen had to retreat stupidly.

Seeing that Xu Miaojin had walked away, Lu Shi turned around, looked at Zhu Yunwen, and said, "Wei'er, have you completed today's schoolwork?" ”

"It's done."

Zhu Yunwen replied with a pout.

Lu Shi continued: "Then did you go to your imperial grandfather today to say goodbye?" ”

"I ......"

Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.

A few days ago, he passed every day, and he could occasionally see Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang was lukewarm, and asked him to put down his things and leave, no longer asking about his studies as before, or teaching him earnestly.

Xu Miaojin came over today, where can Zhu Yunwen take care of these.

Lu Shi still said coldly: "Don't do business, look at it, what is this?!" ”

As he spoke, Lu picked up the poem that Xu Miaojin had just written on the desk.

Zhu Yunwen subconsciously wanted to take it back, because it was written by Xu Miaojin, and he felt that it was given to him by Xu Miaojin, and he couldn't be destroyed no matter what.

"Mother, don't ......"

Zhu Yunwen's hand stopped in mid-air, revealing a pleading look.

"Huh-"

The more Lu Shi looked at it, the more angry he became, and he let out a sneer angrily: "Wei'er, are you really stupid or fake stupid, what kind of poem is this, can't you see it?" ”

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there any problem?" I think it's good, it's just a little obscure! ”

"You ......"

Lu Shi raised his hand and pointed at Zhu Yunwen tremblingly, his face turned slightly hideous, and he said angrily: "You, you want to anger me!" I think you're dazzled by Xu Miaojin's beauty! ”

Looking at the furious Lu family, Zhu Yunwen scratched his head a little inexplicably, frowned and wondered: "There is nothing wrong with Yan'er!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Yunwen tried to figure out what was the problem that made Lu so angry, so he read softly again:

"The dark plum smells the flowers, the lying branches hurt the bottom, the distant smell is like water, and it is easy to penetrate the spring green ......"

Syllable!

Before Zhu Yunwen finished reading the poem, Lu directly slapped Zhu Yunwen in the face.

Zhu Yunwen covered his face as if he had been struck by lightning, the whole person was stupid, and looked at Lu Shi in a daze: "Mother...... What are you doing? What did Bing'er do wrong? Didn't you just see Miaojin? As for this? ”

Looking at the aggrieved Zhu Yunwen, the Lu family became even more angry, gritted his teeth and said, "You are really ...... Can't you see it? This is a scolding poem, people scold you for being a stupid donkey, and you are still here stupidly playing as a donkey! ”

"Impossible, impossible......"

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and muttered to himself.

Lu Shi snorted coldly and threw the poem in front of Zhu Yunwen: "Take a good look for yourself, what is the homonym of this poem?" ”

After being reminded by Lu, Zhu Yunwen picked up the poem and read it carefully.

The more he read, the widening of his eyes and the muttering, "How is it possible...... How can it be? No way! Miaojin can't be like this, it must be ......"

"Shut up!"

Lu Shi slapped again, and shouted: "Bing'er, wake up quickly!" ”

Zhu Yunwen covered his face, and looked at Lu Shi in a daze, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Lu Shi looked distressed and angry, and said a little hysterically: "Do you know what the consequences will be if this matter gets out today?!" ”

"Do you know what will happen if you read this poem and reach your grandfather's ears?!"

"You're really a stupid donkey! You will be the laughing stock of the palace! You will completely destroy your image in the eyes of your imperial grandfather, and you will lose your qualification as a prince! ”

"This poem can kill people!"

Lu Shi gritted his teeth and said......

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he was like being struck by lightning, and he only let the tears flow.

Grievance, confusion, panic, helplessness, self-blame......

All kinds of emotions came to my heart.

He couldn't understand why Xu Miaojin used this poem to play with him, and he couldn't understand who wanted to use Xu Miaojin's hand to harm him......

Looking at Zhu Yunwen, who was constantly sobbing, Lu's heart finally softened, and his tone softened a lot:

"Bing'er, if you were born in an ordinary family, you can do whatever you want, but you are not, you are the grandson of the emperor, and you will inherit the unification in the future!"

"How many pairs of eyes are staring at you, you have to pay attention at all times, don't let people grab the handle!"

"Mother knows that you have a good heart, and there are many things you don't want to do, but look at today's matter, how vicious and vicious? So, you have to do it later! And you have to be ruthless to do it, you know?! ”

"Otherwise, we will die without a place to be buried!"

After listening to Lu's words, Zhu Yunwen, who had already cried into tears, sobbed: "Mother...... Ring'er knows it's wrong......"

Lu Shi pulled Zhu Yunwen into his arms, and while his heart ached like a pinprick, he was also thinking about this rather strange thing just now.

It stands to reason that Xu Miaojin has an indifferent temperament and will not do such a bad thing......

Yes, it must be the one in Beiping!

King Yan is Xu Miaojin's brother-in-law, and he has always liked Xu Miaojin, and what happened just now must be that he wanted to humiliate Wei'er and ruin Wei'er's reputation by borrowing Xu Miaojin's hand......

You can't go wrong!

So ruthless! It's poisonous!

The more Lu Shi thought about it, the more determined he became, and he was extremely angry in his heart: King Yan, you wait for this palace......

……

"Ahh

In front of Qingshou Temple, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, tall figure, with a beautiful beard and deep eyes, couldn't help but sneeze.

"There was a heavy rain in Peking last night, could it be that you have a cold?"

The middle-aged man whispered, smiled and shook his head.

The man is naturally the Yan King Zhu Di that the Lu family is thinking about in his heart.

Zhu Di is Chinese New Year's Eve this year.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Di, who was only eleven years old, was named the king of Yan, and ten years later, the twenty-one-year-old king of Yan became the king of Beiping.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was not long after the founding of the country, and the Mengyuan and Yuan Dynasty still had considerable strength outside the north, and had been coveting the Central Plains.

Since the day Zhu Di entered Beiping, he has assumed the responsibility of defending northern Xinjiang.

And this young prince really lives up to the trust, and treats this king as a prosperous man.

In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Fu Youde to be the general, and led the marquis Zhao Yong, Cao Xing, Wang Bi, Sun Ke and others to Beiping, trained military horses, listened to the temperance of King Yan, and went out to Mobei to win a complete victory.

When the good news reached Jingshi, Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "Those who clear the desert, Yan Wang!" ”

Since then, Zhu Diwei has become famous......

But

After returning from the funeral in Yingtianfu, Zhu Di has been worried, and a message came back from Beijing yesterday, which made him almost sleepless all night, so early the next morning, he came to find someone to help him solve his doubts.

That person is naturally the presiding officer of Qingshou Temple, Daoyan monk.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Di saw a monk in a soap-colored monk's robe and a black robe, who was walking down the steps in front of the temple to greet him.

Now it is close to the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and even Beiping is already under the scorching sun.

Zhu Di hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The heat is heavy, Master Daoyan is waiting for me in the door, and he came to greet me in front of the scorching day, but this king can't help it." ”

It can be seen that Zhu Di has a lot of respect for the Daoyan monk in front of him.

Daoyan's surname is Yao, his name is Guangxiao, a native of Changzhou, Suzhou Prefecture, he became a monk in Suzhou Miaozhi Nunnery when he was young, and is proficient in the three religions, and now he is fifty-eight years old, and has a good relationship with the academic leaders of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Ming Dynasty.

Although he worshiped Buddhism, he was familiar with Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and also dabbled in physiognomy and soldiers.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the filial piety queen Ma died, Zhu Yuanzhang selected a senior monk to serve the kings, chanted and prayed for blessings, and Daoyan was recommended by the monk Lu Si Zuoshan Shizong Xi to follow the king of Yan.

Dao Yan first met the king of Yan, looking at his face, only to see the center of his forehead bone towering, the shape of the sun, he was surprised, when the two contacted, but also talked very happily, he concluded that the king of Yan is the immortal hero, there will be a great thing in the future.

Originally, the high monks served the king only to chant scriptures, but Dao Yan was a person with great ambitions, and the reason why he applied was to take this opportunity to find a master of great strategy and assist him in building a great cause, so as to also achieve a good reputation in the world.

I didn't expect him to find it!

Dao Yan clasped his hands together and said: "The prince is serious, the poor monk meditates and practices in the meditation room all the year round, and it is also a good thing to come out for a walk. ”

Zhu Di nodded, knowing what Dao Yan meant, so he didn't say much, and followed Dao Yan to the meditation room in the backyard.

The Daoyan Zen room is not big, but it is very clean and tidy.

When the two entered the house and sat down, a small novice came in and carefully served two cups of tea, and then withdrew softly, while Zhu Di's confidant and favorite general, Zhu Neng, the deputy guard of Yanshan, brought the door and guarded outside the house.

Zhu Di sipped tea, still sorting out these many doubts in his heart, and did not speak for a while, while Dao Yan pinched the Buddha beads with one hand and waited quietly beside him.

After a long while, Zhu Di sighed lightly and said, "Big brother left so suddenly, even I was caught off guard!" ”

Dao Yan nodded and did not speak.

Zhu Di glanced at Dao Yan, who was pinching the Buddha beads, and asked, "What does the master think about the matter of establishing a prince?" ”

Dao Yan said slowly: "The emperor is old, and the country cannot be without a prince for a day, but there has been no movement for a long time, I am afraid that the emperor is still hesitating in his heart." ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and suddenly said, "Is it possible that it is me?" ”

Dao Yan shook his head and replied: "If you establish the king of Yan, then where is the second king of Jin in Qin?" ”

When Zhu Di heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "I'm a fourth child after all!" After sighing lightly, Zhu Di asked again: "Who does the master think it will be?" ”

"Imperial grandson!"

Dao Yan replied directly: "Only by appointing the emperor's grandson as the prince can the kings covet the throne." ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted lightly and frowned: "Do you mean Zhu Yunwen?" When I led the troops to fight and make meritorious contributions, he was still breastfeeding! How willing I am! ”

"King Yan has great ambitions, and the poor monk is very pleased."

Dao Yan said leisurely: "The poor monk heard that the emperor once said that the fourth son Yan Wang is the most like him, which is a very high praise!" ”

"Huh-"

Zhu Di chuckled: "This is also an extremely dangerous praise!" If the emperor ascends the throne, I'm afraid the first one he wants to deal with will be me! ”

Dao Yan nodded and said, "What King Yan said is extremely true, so you either fight for status or let others slaughter you, if you want to avoid trouble, there is only one way." ”

"I want to hear about it!"

Zhu Di suddenly perked up when he heard this, and he sat up straight and listened.

Dao Yan replied: "Bring disaster upon yourself! ”

"Misfortune on yourself?"

"Yes, where did the misfortune come from? Woe is the world! ”

After listening to Dao Yan's words, Zhu Di glanced at the former with deep meaning, and said, "Master, you are putting me on a road of no return!" ”

"The prince is already on this road, and there is only an abyss when he turns back, and only by moving forward can he see the light!"

"Heyβ€”"

Zhu Di let out a long sigh.

At this time, he was very hesitant and hesitant, he knew that what Dao Yan said was right, once the prince died, he had no second way.

There was a moment of silence.

Zhu Di said suddenly: "Yesterday, there was news from Jingshi that the old man has often gone out of the palace recently to see a young man. ”

"Oh?"

Dao Yan showed a puzzled look.

I saw Zhu Di hand over a portrait: "This is the young man." ”

Dao Yan took the portrait, looked at it carefully, and only listened to Zhu Di say: "Who does the master think this young man looks like?" ”

Hearing Zhu Di say this, Dao Yan's face suddenly showed a shocked expression, and he said a little incredulously: "The old prince? ”

Zhu Di nodded and said softly: "Not only the prince, but also like my eldest nephew...... Zhu Xiongying! ”

Rumble!

This sentence was like a thunderbolt falling on Dao Yan's head, making him show a rare look of horror.

"How...... Isn't he dead ten years ago? How can I ...... now?"

"yes!"

Zhu Di slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "After I saw this portrait last night, I didn't sleep all night, why did he appear again now?" Is he really alive? ”

Dao Yan was stunned for a long time before he said leisurely: "It's really unbelievable, but since the emperor often goes out of the palace to find him, I'm afraid that eight or nine will not leave ten, but it's ......."

"But what?"

Zhu Di's eyes froze and looked at Dao Yan.

I only heard Daoyan say: "But whether it's Zhu Yunwen or Zhu Xiongying, they are not the opponents of the prince!" ”

Zhu Di was silent when he heard this, slowly stood up, looked south, and said after a while: "Master, do I really want to embark on the road of Li Shimin?" ”

"No, it's not Li Shimin!"

Dao Yan said leisurely: "The old emperor is still here, and the prince can only be dormant, unable to show the slightest, quietly waiting for the opportunity." ”

Zhu Di continued to look at the south, he knew that Dao Yan meant that he wanted him to wait until the old man died.

But is he really going to be the opposite?

Zhu Di was still hesitating, but he was unwilling.

He Zhu Di is ambitious, and when his eldest brother Zhu Biao is still there, he may be willing to be a prince who fights on the battlefield, but now, his heart has begun to move......

"Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Xiongying...... You're dead once, you shouldn't be there again......"

Zhu Di muttered to himself......

……

A small courtyard on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

Li Jinglong had already arrived here with a small box of silver......
