The imperial city was quiet at night, and only a few palaces were still lit up.

No, it's not just palaces that have lights. A few palaces and a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, to be exact.

In Xu Ruyi's small courtyard, Xu Ruyi and Zhu Yunwen sat on the ground, one holding a fish and feasting. There was also a small puddle of fish bones on the ground, and the two teenagers were sweating profusely from eating, and neither of them would stop talking.

After a long time, when all the fish had been eaten, the two teenagers burped contentedly.

Xu Ruyi is extremely hungry, it is rare to eat a decent meal, of course satisfied. Zhu Yunwen usually eats and drinks well. But first, to keep filial piety for his father, all the diet is simple, secondly, the imperial dining room will not prepare this kind of burning inferior diet for him, third, the teaching of the teachers on weekdays, standing and sitting, and eating should also have manners, and now this way of eating makes him feel rare and comfortable, so he is also very satisfied and happy.

"Hey~, Lao Tie, what's your name?" Squinting his eyes, Xu Ruyi opened his mouth and asked, it was very self-cooked.

"Old, old iron?" Zhu Yunwen was stunned, but he also understood that he should be called himself, "Eh, I, my name is Little Mosquito." ”

Zhu Yunwen casually made up a name: "What about you?"

"Poof, there are too many slots in this name, why don't you call it a little fly?" Zhu Yunwen's name ushered in Xu Ruyi's ruthless complaint, "My name is Xu Ruyi, yes... Xu Ruyi's eyes rolled, "What do you do first?"

"I am ... I am the attendant eunuch beside the imperial grandson," Zhu Yunwen secretly praised his mechanism. This position is too suitable.

'I'll go, next to the emperor's grandson, no wonder he speaks so justifiably and temperamentally. Xu Ruyi smacked his tongue secretly.

You must know that the seven officials in front of the prime minister, the people around the emperor's grandson don't know how many products.

After some analysis, Xu Ruyi made a final decision: he must be !!

Xu Ruyi naturally lowered his head, adjusted his expression, and then raised his head, his two eyes were already smiling into crescent moons.

"Whew. What the situation. Zhu Yunwen was shocked, 'I used to look like I was taking in my younger brother, but I instantly became the boss, is it so natural? . . . ’

"Boss" Xu Ruyi spoke, and his tone was natural, as if they had known each other for a long time, "Such a big palace, we can both meet and eat grilled fish together, what is fate, this is called fate." ”

"Well, that's right" Zhu Yunwen nodded, "Anyway, who are you, I'll tell you, tell me about you." ”

"In Xia Xu Ruyi, I have been in the palace for a month, and now I am cleaning the imperial garden, and I am subordinate to the palace supervisor, and I am nicknamed the honest and reliable Xiao Langjun, and I have seen the eldest brother. "It's a hand.

"Divine Palace Supervisor," Zhu Yunwen muttered.

The Shrine Supervisor is one of the twenty-four Eunuchs of the Imperial Palace, who is mainly responsible for cleaning the Imperial Palace. The status is not high. Of course, the other 23 prisons are similar, with little power. However, the difference is that some yamen have a lot of oil and water, such as Shang Shan Jian Jian , such as Bao Qian Si, and so on. The only authority of this shrine supervisor is to clean the temple and the temples.

"That's not right," Zhu Yunwen spoke, "Isn't the cleaning of the imperial garden supposed to be the responsibility of the palace supervisor? ”

That's true, but they are also responsible for cleaning, and the two prisons often communicate with each other. Sometimes, when the direct temple supervisor was short of manpower, he borrowed it from the shrine supervisor. So the division of personnel is not very clear. The reason why Eunuch Liu put Xu Ruyi in the Divine Palace Prison was mainly because the salary of the Divine Palace Eunuch was a little higher.

"Eh, I'm seconded, seconded, hehe" Xu Ruyi scratched his head and made up a reason. He didn't know, but it made perfect sense.

Zhu Yunwen didn't dig deeper.

"That's right," Xu Ruyi hurriedly diverted the conversation, "Why is Brother Wen wandering around in the middle of the night? ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Ruyi saw the intense contempt shot out of Zhu Yunwen's eyes, and the meaning was very simple: You are embarrassed to say that I am a loiter?!

That's not a good one. ’

"I mean," Xu Ruyi continued, "I see Boss Wen wandering around late at night, and his face is worried, but what's the trouble?"

"Alas" Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen sighed, "I 、、、"

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "My master, the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen knows, right?"

Xu Ruyi nodded, "Then you must know."

"He became the emperor's grandson a while ago, and his status is high, but I think his imperial uncles don't seem to like him, and their attitude towards him... Anyway, it makes him uncomfortable and unhappy... Seeing that the master was uncomfortable, I also felt sorry for him. Zhu Yunwen said.

"Yohe?" Xu Ruyi patted Zhu Yunwen on the shoulder, "Loyal enough." The imperial grandson must like you very much, right?"

"Eh, it's okay, it's okay" Zhu Yunwen scratched his face and said in response.

'This leg must be hugged. Xu Ruyi thought about it and said, "Big brother, wait a minute, I'll make a pot of water and let's drink."

As he spoke, Xu Ruyi took a copper kettle from the house, poured some water into it, and then put it on the small stove, and the fire in the stove was not extinguished.

Xu Ruyi sat next to Zhu Yunwen again, organized the language, and said, "Actually, this matter is difficult and easy to do." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up, "How do you say this?"

"Actually, I know a thing or two about this. Xu Ruyi opened his mouth and said, "The crown prince is driving, the emperor forcibly appointed His Royal Highness as the imperial grandson, and skipped his uncles, and his uncles are naturally dissatisfied, which is understandable." However, there is one thing that many people know, but the emperor does not know. Or that the emperor doesn't want to know. ”

"What is it?"

"The emperor divided the vassal kings to guard the Ming Dynasty and defend against foreign people. But he didn't know that if these vassal kings were opposed, then who would be able to help the imperial grandson resist these vassal kings? Or in the emperor's heart, he didn't want to think so. ”

"This... This... Zhu Yunwen's heart was a little confused.

"The sorrow of the imperial grandson is actually the worry about the government of the vassal king, or the fear of the vassal king. Actually, I have two ways to solve this problem. Xu Ruyi stroked her hair and said.

"What's the way?" Zhu Yunwen hurriedly asked.

"The first way is to find a way to let the emperor see the true face of the vassal kings. Only if he is really angry, or really believes that these sons of his will be an unstable factor, then everything will be easy. But the difficulty of this method lies in how to make the emperor recognize these things. You must know that the father's feelings for his son are not fake. Xu Ruyi said the first note.

"That's right," Zhu Yunwen nodded, "What about the second way?"

To be honest, Zhu Yunwen is like his father Zhu Biao, and he is also a little afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart. Let him say in front of Zhu Yuanzhang that his uncles are not, he is really a little afraid. It's not that he can't, it's just that it takes a long time to prepare, and he subconsciously doesn't want to choose this method.

"The second way... Xu Ruyi thought for a while and said, "Now that the imperial grandson has just been established, General Lanyu should have crowned the crown prince, right?"

This information was written down when he watched "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" in his previous life. Xu Ruyi has read this set of books, and if you want to say that it is word for word, it is. But he still has some impressions of many general things. In his previous life, although he was a gangster, he was also a gangster who graduated from college, still had a little ink in his stomach, and read a few books.

"General Lan has indeed just been crowned the crown prince, just last month. What's wrong?" asked Zhu Yunwen.

"In my opinion, the emperor's purge of civil officials has reached its peak, and the next step should be to purge the generals. I heard that the emperor didn't like General Lanyu and thought he was too coquettish. If the emperor decides to start with General Lan and massacre meritorious generals, then the emperor's grandson will have no generals available in the future, and it will be over. But if the imperial grandson can keep a few people in this turmoil, not to mention General Lan, even if it is a few other generals, leaving a trace of fire, they will definitely be grateful to the imperial grandson. In the future, even if the vassal king rebels, the imperial grandson does not have to be afraid. Xu Ruyi said, went back to the house and took two big bowls back, the water in the pot was boiling, Xu Ruyi carried the pot and poured water for himself and Zhu Yunwen. I took a sip first, but I couldn't help it, I was really thirsty.

Moistening his throat, Xu Ruyi said again, "Actually, the most terrible thing in the world is the thing you can't deal with." Why are people afraid of ghosts? Why was the prince afraid of the vassal king? Because the vassal king was against him, he felt that he could not do anything. That's it... Xu Ruyi thought of the Tianmen behind him, the old eunuch Liu, and the black shadow of the Dao by the dry well...

Zhu Yunwen heard this and felt a little settled in his heart, but the first way was to tell his grandfather that he didn't dare to tell his uncle. The second grandfather wants to kill someone, and he doesn't dare to stop him...

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Yunwen said, "You don't know, the emperor is fierce, I'm afraid that the prince won't dare to say this to the emperor... ”

Xu Ruyi nodded, with a clear look, "I know, but there is no free lunch in the world." I don't dare to do this, I don't dare to do that, and I don't dare to make demands with my own grandfather, then there is no solution to this matter. All we can do as slaves is to come up with ideas and cheer up, and we can't do anything more. ”

"That's it... Zhu Yunwen slowly fell into thought, and his face was blushing.

Xu Ruyi saw it in his eyes, and said, "The tiger is the respect of a hundred beasts, who dares to touch its anger? In fact, the crown prince went, and the emperor could not hesitate to canonize the emperor's eldest grandson, this love must be true, what else is the imperial grandson afraid of. If you go back and persuade well, you will definitely be able to. ”

Xu Ruyi racked his brains for his new boss. Not for anything else, but to rely on the emperor's eldest grandson through him. Although he didn't know it, he was already on it.

Hearing these words, Zhu Yunwen's eyes slowly lit up, and after a long time, he nodded vigorously, as if he had made some major decision, and he didn't say hello, he got up and left violently.

Xu Ruyi sighed, "It's good to say goodbye and leave." The ancients were so rude'

Shaking his head, Xu Ruyi simply cleaned up the mess in the courtyard. There was a faint light in the sky in the east, and he went back to the house and lay on the table and took a nap. Then he picked up his broom and walked towards the Imperial Garden.

The blue sky ~ white clouds floating above, and I am sweeping the street below the white clouds~" The nondescript minor tone gently hummed out of Xu Ruyi's mouth.

In the imperial garden, Xu Ruyi held a broom gently, slowly, and dangled around.

There are no rules for sweeping the streets. But sweeping the floor in the imperial garden, the rules are big. Do not make loud noises, and the movements should not be too loud, especially not dusty. These rules must be kept in mind, and if they are violated, nothing will happen, and of course nothing will be fine if no one notices. If it's heavy, you will lose your head, Zhu Yuanzhang will tell you why if you are unhappy and kill you?

It has been many days since I met Xiaowenzi Zhu Yunwen. Since eating fish that day, Xu Ruyi has never seen his big brother Xiao Wenzi again. He didn't have much of an idea. Every day is very monotonous, get up to wash your face, you will carry a broom to the imperial garden, and when the meal is ordered, you will go to the Shangshan supervisor to grab a steamed bun or something of dry food, find a corner and eat a few bites. Then continue to sweep. At night, I went back to my room to sleep and practiced. If you are greedy, you will sneak into the imperial garden in the middle of the night to touch a rabbit and catch a fish or something. Life is also comfortable.

At first, he was in a hurry to catch up with the emperor's eldest grandson, but now he is not in a hurry.

First of all, I have something to do: practice. Kung Fu has been practicing well recently, and the true qi of protecting the body has become more condensed, and he has also practiced the first layer of skin training in "White Bone Zen". I feel it... I seem to have turned white...

Second, and most importantly: fear of death. As a gangster, he fights and brawls, with a knife in his waist, and life and death are not so serious, but he doesn't want to die in vain. It's like two gangs fighting. If you dare to rush up, you probably know the consequences in your heart, and the chance of being killed is not great, even if you die, you will admit it.

But just now, he saw the inexplicability of what death is.

About an hour ago, Xu Ruyi saw Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time since he crossed over, in this imperial garden.

With a shrill and loud "The emperor has arrived", all the eunuchs and palace maids in the entire imperial garden put down their work in unison, knelt on the ground, and said Long live our emperor. After that, I saw an old man in a yellow robe appear at the arch of the imperial garden, followed by the eunuch Gong E. The old man wears a golden crown on his head, a yellow robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a golden dragon on the yellow robe, with teeth and claws. The old man's face sank like water, indescribable majesty, needless to say, this person is the Ming Taizu, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. Xu Ruyi knelt in the crowd and didn't dare to breathe, but he raised his head slightly and noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang's belt was tied under his stomach.

Xu Ruyi had heard rumors in his previous life that Zhu Yuanzhang's belt was very particular. If the belt is tied on the top of the belly, it means that he is in a good mood, and if it is tied under the belt, he is in a bad mood. Zhu Yuanzhang is in a bad mood, that is, he is going to kill someone.

'I don't know if it's true,' Xu Ruyi thought to herself.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at the kneeling slaves and maids, waved his hand, and the old eunuch beside him said loudly, "Get up." ”

Only then did the people who fell to their knees stand up tremblingly and continued their work. Zhu Yuanzhang slowly walked to a pavilion in the garden and sat down, quietly looking at the lake, and the people around him did not dare to make a sound.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Lao Zhang"

The old eunuch beside the slave hurriedly responded.

"You said that Yun Wei seems to have something to worry about in the past two days? Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.

"This, the old slave doesn't know," the old eunuch replied cautiously.

"I guess the food didn't go well. Zhu Yuanzhang's self-care analysis: "If you don't eat well, you will naturally lose weight, and if you eat more, you will naturally be stronger." Go and order someone to cut down the chef in charge of the imperial dining room, and replace it with another one. After saying that, he quietly looked at the lake again.

"The old slave obeys, and this will be done. The old eunuch responded, turned around and ordered a few words from a little eunuch, and stood silently behind Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's as if nothing happened.

'This is going to kill?!' Xu Ruyi was really stunned. What does it mean to have trouble falling from heaven? This is called disaster coming from heaven. Others don't know, but Xu Ruyi knows. Zhu Yunwen's worries have nothing to do with eating.

If you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with being a passerby quietly, and you can still be alive anyway. A cook who cooks for the emperor's eldest grandson died so unexplained, if he mixed up with Zhu Yunwen, God knows what reason he would die...

Zhu Yuanzhang only sat for half an hour and left, and the sweat on Xu Ruyi's face was heathereous.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's departing figure, he could be regarded as taking a long breath, and he had a feeling of the rest of his life. 'Let's be invisible'.

Pity.....

Just relaxed for a while. Another living ancestor is here again. The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen!

Xu Ruyi was really stunned at this time. Bullshit little Wenzi, his eyesight, can be seen at a glance, this Zhu Yunwen is the old man he recognized a few days ago.

Zhu Yunwen has a small shelf and is wearing a simple bright yellow brocade robe. With a solemn expression, he came in and grabbed a little eunuch and asked, "Where is my imperial grandfather?

The little eunuch hurriedly replied, "Back to His Royal Highness, the emperor has just left." ”

"Oh, okay. Zhu Yunwen nodded and waved his hand. His expression was a little relaxed, as if he wanted to see Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was a little scared and nervous. At this moment, he learned that the imperial grandfather had left the imperial garden, so he relaxed.

After casually looking around, Zhu Yunwen wandered around the imperial garden.

Xu Ruyi buried his head low, holding a broom and hiding quietly next to a rockery. I was afraid that Zhu Yunwen would see him.

Somehow, Zhu Yunwen strolled to the vicinity of the rockery beside Xu Ruyi.

"You... Zhu Yunwen frowned, and seemed to notice Xu Ruyi.

Just as he was about to speak.

Suddenly, a rough and bold voice came, "Yun Wei?"

Zhu Yunwen turned his head, and a tall and mighty man stood behind him, also dressed in a brocade robe, with a beard on his face and rough skin. At a glance, no matter who you are, you will feel that this is at least a general who has been on the battlefield.

"Fourth Uncle" Zhu Yunwen bowed.

'Fourth Uncle?!' Xu Ruyi suddenly cleverly 'Yan Wang Zhu Di, the future Ming Chengzu!' The body slowly shrank into the shadow of the rockery, the scene was too complicated, he didn't dare to mix. But fortunately, Zhu Di didn't seem to notice him.

Looking at Zhu Yunwen, who bowed down, Zhu Di nodded and stretched out his hand to help. But for some reason, the outstretched hand did not support Zhu Yunwen's elbow, but patted Zhu Yunwen's back, and said in a ghostly manner, "I don't mean to have today (you kid can also have today)"

"You!" Zhu Yunwen's face turned red suddenly, his body swayed, and he trembled with anger.

"Bang!" Suddenly, something flew in and hit Zhu Di's head, with a lot of strength, and he shook "Who?!" Zhu Di shouted angrily, and when he turned around, he saw his father, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was red, the blue tendons on his forehead were bursting out, he opened his mouth and gasped, and he was reaching out to take off his other shoe to continue beating him, obviously angry. He opened his mouth and shouted angrily, "Cat monkey (Fengyang dialect), how dare you!" I, I !! my mother's grandmother's" and said that the shoe was already in his hand, and he was about to hit it.

"Father, father" Zhu Di hurriedly raised his hand to cover it, "Erchen is just joking with Yun Wei." ”

"Joke?!Joke a ball" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded while keeping his hands on the "prince of a country, can you joke?!" Fighting, throwing his shoes, scattering around, bending down to pick up a stone and smashing it.

Zhu Di saw that the situation was not right, this was going to kill me. He gritted his teeth, kowtowed, and then got up and ran away. The smoke is gone.

"Whew. Whew... Zhu Yuanzhang was out of breath, and the eunuchs and palace maids around him fell to the ground, not daring to breathe. Zhu Yunwen was stunned since Zhu Yuanzhang appeared, and only then did he come back to his senses, and said sneeringly, "Emperor, Imperial Grandpa, don't be angry... Yun Wei,,Yun Wei,,, fourth uncle he... Zhu Yunwen didn't know what to say.

"Huh、、、" Zhu Yuanzhang let out a sigh of relief, barely calmed down, and said, "Come with me." With that, he turned his head and left. Zhu Yunwen hurriedly followed...

'Okay, okay, just go, don't look back, don't look back' Xu Ruyi knelt on the ground and prayed silently.

So there are some things that you really can't talk about.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen had walked more than twenty steps, Zhu Yunwen turned his head sharply and pointed at Xu Ruyi, "Ruyi, you come with me." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced back at Xu Ruyi on the ground and didn't say anything. The grandson still has to give this face, after all, he has just been wronged.

'Me #¥E& ap;^*(& aT$%(*&; ^%%#'This is what Xu Ruyi thought.

"Yes" this is what Xu Ruyi said.

stood up and followed Zhu Yunwen's steps closely with small broken steps, which Xu Ruyi did.

It's called a lying gun!!

No, it should be called a pig teammate!
