Ye Xixian's arrival frightened Zhou Shizi, who lingered at the Peking Grand Theater all day, fled back to where he should go overnight and went to Miyun.

Social Newspaper Agency.

Several editors quarreled violently.

There is a painting on the table, called the Lotus Pavilion Summer Picture, which is a painting made by the children of a merchant in Beiping.

It was originally a very good painting, but there was a fly in the ointment, the woman in the shade in the courtyard actually showed her white breasts.

"How can this kind of painting be published in the newspaper and published, I dare to guarantee that someone will come to the newspaper office tomorrow to make trouble."

"The paintings of a very good standard, why can't they be sent out, just because those old stubbornness."

"Not only that, but the social atmosphere can't tolerate it."

"Zhou Shizi has seen the painting and thinks that this painting is very good, so he encouraged the newspaper to look at the face of the Buddha without looking at the monk's face, and the refusal to board will not cause Zhou Shizi to be dissatisfied."

Several editors expressed their views.

Soon, the editor-in-chief walked in, "Don't argue, this painting can't be published now." ”

"Why?"

Some editors are not convinced.

"There is a royal history who is said to be highly qualified from the side of Yingtianfu, and he was so scared that Zhou Shizi ran away overnight, don't worry about it now."

All right.

Hearing the editor-in-chief's explanation, the editors still knew the importance and no longer argued about it.

It's like brake pads.

Many things in Peking have quieted down, and the temperature has dropped for the hot summer.

Ye Xixian refused Zhu Gaochi's invitation, sat on duty and sent a sign to the guards who had escorted Gao Mian to Beiping, and he wanted to interrogate him personally.

Several officers had a bitter face and handed over the official documents to the border guards.

The generals of the border guards didn't even look at it.

"What qualifications do civil officials have to take care of the affairs of the guard, and do they have the will of the prince?"

Several differences went home empty-handed.

Ye Xixian was not angry about the non-cooperation of the guard, he had expected it, but in his opinion, the more the guard was like this, the more it proved that he was weak-hearted.

There is already an eighty percent certainty that there is definitely a ghost in this matter.

"Brother Zhang, what do you think?"

Ye Xixian is not alone, he is the representative of the behemoth, a huge network of relationships.

Although it was his first time in Beiping, he still had people to negotiate with and would not be easily deceived by the locality.

I didn't see the palace, I didn't see the political secretary, and I saw Zhang Lian, an official of the judicial department.

"Gao has been targeting the palace, in fact, I have persuaded him to warn him with the experience of Wang Zhentai, but Gao is righteous and is not afraid of the revenge of the palace."

"To this day, I still wonder why I suddenly sent a high-ranking officer to patrol the border."

"Whose arrangement?"

Ye Xixian frowned and asked.

"I don't know, I didn't ask." Zhang Lian shook his head decadently.

didn't get a result, Ye Xixian was calm.

It seems that the water in Beiping is even more turbid than he thought, Ye Xixian didn't believe it, Zhang Lian couldn't find out whose arrangement it was.

Although Ye Xixian is very calm, his heart is not as calm as outside.

Five years ago.

Every move in Beiping has been told in detail to the capital in all aspects.

And now.

I came to Peking in person, but I couldn't grasp the first-hand information.

Everything is changing in the prince.

If the crown prince is still alive, there will be many things out of control.

Zhang Lian thought very simply.

King Yan is too powerful, even if Ye Xixian finds out, what can the saint really do, and the saint can really condemn King Yan.

King Yan is different from King Qin, and the current situation is also different.

Not to mention that if you tell Ye Xixian that it was Mo Lin's arrangement, it would be tantamount to offending your direct boss again.

No matter how you look at it, it's not good for you.

Ye Xixian has a great reputation, and finally patted his ass and returned to the capital, and he still has to be an official in Beiping.

The imposing Ye Xixian, in the face of the iron-like Beiping, quickly took the first breath, and he couldn't even get the person he wanted to interrogate.

This blow made him suddenly wake up.

It's not the time of the crown prince anymore, and what they could easily do in front of the vassal king has changed now.

If only the prince were still here.

Ye Xixian sighed again.

It's not that they planned so carefully that the vassal kings didn't dare to object, but that the vassal kings didn't dare to disobey the crown prince.

……

Ying Tianfu.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng had a secret conversation at the East Corner Gate, and Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson, soaked Zhu Yuanzhang's feet in the Qianqing Palace.

There is an old famous doctor in Tai Hospital, who prescribed a prescription for foot soaking, which alleviated Zhu Yuanzhang's pain in a short period of time.

Therefore, no matter whether it is hot or cold, I will soak my feet every day to maintain my health.

The name of Zhu Yunwen's benevolence and filial piety spread all over Yingtianfu.

Today, he personally came to soak his grandfather's feet to alleviate his illness.

"Do you think Ye Xixian wants to use Gao Mian's matter as a breakthrough to attack the power of King Yan, can this matter be successful?"

Zhu Yunwen trusts his husband Huang Zicheng the most.

So what Zhu Yuanzhang values more at the moment is Qi Tai.

The two "new-school" figures, together with the local famous Fang Xiaoru, gradually became the banner figures of the imperial grandson.

Zhu Yuanzhang is dizzy, and many things need to be explained by officials.

Qi Tai was personally named by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the trusted junior has now been promoted to the left squire of the military department.

He is now more effective than the military department Shangshu Ru Yu.

Because he often accompanies Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang will consult many things, this person's rich knowledge, can answer all aspects of Zhu Yuanzhang's questions, and is extremely detailed, organized, and impeccable.

It is equivalent to Zhu Yuanzhang's adviser.

In the entire court, Qi Tai can be said to be the official who has accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang the longest.

Including the national defense situation of the entire country, Qi Tai knows the roots.

Hearing Huang Zicheng's question, Qi Tai shook his head.

"If Ye Xixian still counts on the original way, I'm afraid that this time it will disappoint him." "Do you think Ye Xixian will fail?"

Huang Zicheng didn't believe it.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng have different personalities.

Huang Zicheng likes to make it easy first and then difficult.

And Qi Tai thinks that the thief will capture the king first.

This is the difference between the two people's styles.

Qi Tai understands the country's military affairs, so when cutting the domain, he is determined to take Zhu Di first, take the lead in winning the hard bones, and not leave Zhu Di a chance.

And Huang Zicheng likes to strategize, starting with the weaker vassal kings first, and overwhelming people with power.

The end result is clear.

Huang Zicheng's plan was wrong.

The extremely harsh policy of cutting the feudal domain made the feudal kings gain a lot of sympathy, and the prestige of the imperial court was hit.

That's why Zhu Yunwen shouted out the words of don't hurt my Uncle Wang, trying to save his reputation.

Zhu Yunwen has a fart relationship for Zhu Di.

In the end, Zhu Di rebelled and shouted a slogan, which was quite "justifiable".

"A few years ago, when the kings entered Beijing, the emperor's grandson had to pay uncles and nephews to the vassal kings, and it has changed since then."

Qi Tai said regretfully.

"It's courtesy."

"It's stubbornness."

The two argued before changing the subject.

"So what do you think should be done?"

"It's up to the saints."

"Now that King Yan's power is so great, if you don't stop it, will you really let King Yan's power develop?"

"The saint has his own idea."

"It's not like you." Huang Zicheng showed a puzzled look.

"Don't talk when you're inside."

Inside the temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang rarely left the Qianqing Palace.

He reclined and put his feet in the medicine barrel, and in front of him was a very young man, kneeling in front of the barrel, with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa Huang is not old at all."

There is also a group of eunuchs waiting behind the imperial grandson.

"We have forged a good physique all our lives, and so far we have nine out of sixty, sleeping well, eating well, and having a clear mind."

"So, let's let your father and those uncles of yours train in the army from an early age."

Halfway through speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang lost interest in speaking.

The departure of the eldest son and the second son, although it has been so long, Zhu Yuanzhang still has a thorn in his heart, and the sadness of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person is not so easy to disappear.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang has many sons, some sons are different, and they are memories of the first half of his life.

The struggle of that half of his life has become a past that Zhu Yuanzhang can't let go.

Zhu Yuanzhang remembers the events of those years vividly and remembers them in detail, but Zhu Yuanzhang can't remember all the events of these years.

At this time.

The old lady doctor of the Tai Hospital came in to pinch Zhu Yuanzhang's feet and let Zhu Yuanzhang lie down, and Qi Tai and others followed in.

"King Yan's merits in Daning's Wuliang Habald, please show the saint how to reward him."

Qi Tai asked in a proper manner.

Huang Zicheng on the side was almost about to speak, but he couldn't help it when he thought of Qi Tai's explanation just now.

If you follow the previous style, such as the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang gave rich rewards to Zhu Di and the soldiers under Zhu Di's command.

It was this great reward that made Zhu Di's reputation in Beiping begin to rise.

"You can see what you do."

Zhu Yuanzhang commanded lightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude surprised many people.

Zhu Yunwen, the imperial grandson on the side, lowered his head and tried to maintain a calm face, for fear of being seen with a smile.

At last.

The crowd withdrew from the main hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the figure of the imperial grandson and was speechless for a long time.

No one could see what he was thinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very confused.

The imperial grandson is benevolent and studious, but the imperial grandson is not without Tao Hui.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the imperial grandson was dissatisfied with some of his policies.

For example, heavy taxes were imposed on Jianghuai, and the standard of Buddhist and Taoist duty-free fields was too high.

As the king of Shoucheng, Zhu Yunwen is good in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Thirty years of strict governance, to this day, the people need such a monarch.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang can't be sure whether Zhu Yunwen is ready to govern the country and the day he leaves.

Can Da Ming inherit it in the hands of the imperial grandson?

Zhu Yuanzhang beckoned.

A eunuch pulls out a painting from a box.

This painting is a map of the city of Beiping painted by Jinyiwei sent someone to Beiping.

In the painting.

The night is brightly lit.

Among the pedestrians, there are many people dressed in various colors of silk and satin, and there are young ladies with their heads showing their heads in the sedan chair, and there are stalls selling fruit and drinks.

More than a dozen children ran after Kemari.

The hawker with the burden is shaking with a rattle in his hand.

Several workers wearing Zhonghua Heavy Industry uniforms, the swallows embroidered on their left chests are very conspicuous, and their faces are full of confidence.

All this made Zhu Yuanzhang confused.
