Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Undercurrent Rushes (Part II)

Several sons of the world grabbed him and they were in a mess, and they howled: "What? Ancestral system? We care about your ancestral system...... Do you know who we are? Don't apply the rules of the common people to us, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around. Hurry up and follow our recipes to prepare your meal, or we won't spare you. ”

The old eunuch An was embarrassed, and he forced a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, the old slave is really powerless." Let's just say that the golden snub-nosed monkey of two years and three months is really nowhere to catch it...... Besides, during the funeral, the imperial dining room did not prepare any meat at all, which is ......"

Zhu Ren's face changed completely, he gritted his teeth and stared at the old eunuch An, and said in a cruel voice: "Old dog, you look at me, remember me, I am Zhu Ren, the son of King Zhou." You're dead, you know? You're dead...... I'm going to kill you. I've grown so old that no one has ever dared to speak to me like that. What I can't get if I want it? Isn't it just a golden snub-nosed monkey? I have more than 200 in my palace, and you can't find them in the palace? You're dead, I'll tell you. ”

The group of princes also looked at the old eunuch An with murderous faces and hideous faces, thinking about how to divide his corpse and pick his skin. The old eunuch couldn't help but panic for a while, and his left hand lightly clenched into a fist. His heart suddenly collided, and he kept admonishing himself: "Even if you are the descendants of the Zhu family and the descendants of the princes, but this is the Jingshi, and I am the head of the palace." Then Zhu Yunwen can become the heir to the throne in name, and my father-in-law has made a great ...... That Huang Zicheng is looking for an opportunity to find you vassal kings, if you want to make trouble, it is the best. ”

Li Feng stood there in a daze and watched the excitement, and his hand tightly grabbed the kitten who was about to rush up and beat people. What are you kidding, those princes are only a few eunuchs who have died, if this kitten does it, if he goes crazy again, won't the whole palace be flat? The kitten was also obedient, and he was not allowed to go out by himself, so he simply hugged his iron rod, sat cross-legged on the ground, and muttered: "Meat, meat, meat...... and he touched his 'rumbling' thunderous belly and was stunned.

Zhu Xi also stopped stabbing Zhu Ren at those little eunuchs, walked forward with a smile, looked at the group of princes gathered together, and said softly: "Brothers, we don't have to be so embarrassed for this father-in-law, right?" Zhu Xi had already noticed the old eunuch An during the day, and knew that he was the head of the palace. Especially the 'edict' was also read by him, it is conceivable that he is by Zhu Yunwen's side and should be a person who can speak. Now those princes have put the old eunuch in a predicament, and it is time for him to come forward and sell his favor.

The eyes of those princes were also poisonous, and they recognized Zhu Xi as one of the three people who performed the most outstanding this afternoon, and they also inquired clearly, Zhu Xi was the prince of Yanwangfu. So these descendants of the Zhu family immediately let go of the hand holding the old eunuch An and saluted Zhu Xi.

Even if it's your own family, you still have to talk about strength. The strength of the Yan Wangfu is the strongest among all the princes, so Zhu Xi is naturally the most feared by everyone. Who doesn't know that Zhu Di is the most favored by Zhu Yuanzhang and leads the invincible ironclad hero to sit in the northeast? Even Zhu Di is one of the powerful heirs to the throne, but he doesn't know why the inexplicable Zhu Yunwen came to power this time. But even so, the weight of Zhu Xi in their minds is different.

A group of descendants of the Zhu family greeted each other and reported their names one after another. Zhu Xi said with a smile: "If there is an old man in this family who dies, the folk rule is to eat more simply, which can be regarded as a mourning for the old man." Zhu Xi's face was calm, as if he didn't scold those little eunuchs at all, and asked someone to beat them to death.

Seeing that those sons of the world were unhappy, Zhu Xi immediately laughed: "However, we were born into the royal family, and we are naturally different from the ordinary people of Limin, brothers, what do you think? Especially this afternoon, we can see that the heavens have opened their eyes, and the heroic soul of the emperor has soared to the sky, this is a great joy, how can we do it according to the rules of ordinary people for funerals?"

Zhu Xi coughed, turned to the old eunuch An, and said with a smile: "This father-in-law, I think the brothers are also on fire for a while, so there are some unwise actions, but there is no other meaning. But speaking of which, after all, they are all emperors and nobles, and if we also act according to the rules of the common people, first, it is not in line with the identity of our imperial family, and secondly, it seems that there is no joy. I opened my eyes on today's day, and my father-in-law has seen it too, right?"

The old eunuch nodded slowly, as long as it was a person from Ying Tianfu, he could see a hole exposed in the clouds in the sky, and a bright sun shrouded the scene of the main hall of the mourning hall. He also knelt on the ground and prayed for a long time, praying that Zhu Yuanzhang would not blame himself and Huang Zicheng for colluding with them to pretend to be the sin of the edict.

Zhu Xi smiled with satisfaction: "This is not, the emperor has ascended, this is a happy event, if we do it to make everyone look sad, won't it seem that we are not happy for the emperor? So in terms of etiquette, it really can't be too simple...... But after all, the emperor has left us, and we can't do it too luxuriously, so according to the ordinary festive specifications, we will give everyone a banquet, and we will eat it quickly, so that we can have the strength to kneel down the scriptures, go around the coffin, read the scriptures to the emperor, and pray to God for the emperor to continue to enjoy boundless happiness in heaven. ”

After saying a few words, he found a step down for both sides. The old eunuch sighed for a while, shook his head and sighed, and responded: "Your Highness is reasonable, the old slave will be rearranged." Come on, pull out all those little bastards who can't do things, and put gold sore medicine on those who are not dead, and let them serve you well. After speaking, the old eunuch An showed a grateful smile to Zhu Xi, he was really too lazy to stay here any longer, turned around and left with a large number of guards.

Zhu Ren sneered: "Hmph, aren't you leaving? Be careful of the world, I'll kill you." A group of princes also cursed in a low voice behind him, constantly cursing at the old eunuch, saying: "This old dog is still awake, if he is long-winded, he will be hacked to death on the spot." Only Zhu Xi was very polite and thoughtful and bowed his hand to the old eunuch An and said, "Father-in-law, I hope dinner will come up soon, we are also hungry." ”

Only then did these sons find that they were so hungry that the water in their stomachs was boiling hot, and they couldn't help but scold their mothers, and then saluted Zhu Xi one by one: "Or cousin has the ability and means, isn't this old dog honest enough to make good food?"

Zhu Xi smiled gently: "Alas, to be honest, that tofu and old rice are really difficult to get into the throat, so my brother can only come up with this method." Everyone is their own person, and it doesn't hurt to take care of each other, so Father-in-law An is the duty, so sometimes I can't tell the situation. In fact, we are all princes of the palace, and we don't have to abide by those folk rules too much. As long as we have a filial piety, the emperor will naturally be happy. ”

The words made those princes comfortable, and these dragon sons and grandsons of the Ming Dynasty immediately followed Zhu Xi into their resting room, as if they had regarded Zhu Xi as the leader between them. Originally, Zhu Xi was the oldest, especially although he likes to indulge in poetry and wine, but he is not the kind of person who messes around, compared to these mischievous princes, Zhu Xi still has a bit of brains, and it is too easy to win over their hearts.

Zhu Xuan also went up to meet these cousins. Several princes of the palace who had a little kung fu immediately became entangled with Zhu Xuan, and kept saying that Zhu Xuan was a tide of horses, and kept asking if there was any way to make martial arts fast, and it was best to reach Zhu Xuan's level. Zhu Xuan also got his senses, and half-truths and half-truths said a few words of luck mantra, which immediately made these world's sons happy.

Zhu Ren even found a group of good friends, those who like to bully men and women, and Zhu Ren hit it off at first sight, and immediately found a room by himself and began to exchange various skills and techniques. The absurdity of his words and the nonsense of his content can really make those Taoist gentlemen in the court faint directly. Just like what Zhu Ren is boasting about: "Choose the first menarche to turn red, add silver sheep Huo, saffron and other good medicinal materials, find a alchemist who can do alchemy and exercise with real fire for three days, it is the most powerful 'King Kong Pill', a lower belly, can make you last for a day and a night King Kong does not fall......"

The exclamation of 'wow' suddenly rang out.

As for Zhu Xi, there are several princes of the palace around him, these people are more thoughtful, and they are still a little more mature than their brothers, they surround Zhu Xi and carefully ask Zhu Xi about his views on the current court trends. Zhu Xi was even more careful to answer their questions one by one, not daring to be careless. Many times, as long as Zhu Xi can be perfunctory, then it will be perfunctory.

Li Feng and Xiao Li Zi stood in the hallway. Xiao Lizi shrank his head and looked at the lively room through the crack in the window, and whispered, "Ah, this is very lively." The master has made a name for himself among their brothers this time, but I don't know what he thinks of our master. As he spoke, a worried look appeared on Xiao Lizi's thin face, and the whisk in his hand waved impatiently to the left and right, driving away a few buzzing mosquitoes.

Li Feng gently rubbed the knuckles of his fingers, and stepped on the hem of the kitten sitting on the ground on his toes, saving him from suddenly causing any trouble. Li Feng sighed: "I don't understand, if you want to talk about murder and arson, robbery and robbery, then I am a veteran, but this official matter, I have to ask Yin Gonggong them...... Xiao Lizi, you say, how did the imperial grandson be recognized as the heir to the throne? Does that edict really have such a big effect?"

Xiao Lizi sighed, leaned against the wall and muttered: "You don't understand, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister doesn't dare not die." What the emperor said, which minister would dare to disobey it? Therefore, when the emperor issued an edict, the emperor's grandson would sit firmly on the throne...... Xiao Lizi, I just don't understand, just a few months ago, Tenglong's secret spy also told us that the ministers of the two sides still have a little dispute in front of the emperor, and the ministers who elected our prince are not weak. Especially when the old man of the Fang family died, Huang Zicheng's strength was greatly weakened, how could such an edict come out in the end?"

Xiao Lizi's eyes flashed with a shrew light, and he raised his fingers and calculated: "The emperor would not write an edict when those ministers were arguing with each other. If his old man had written the edict at that time, then there would be no need to let those ministers bother him in his ears, and his old man's health would not be good...... By the time March and April come, it would be impossible for him to have the strength to write an edict. ”

"The secret report from the people present that day was that the former emperor just pointed to the imperial grandson and said that he could, but what could he do, which was worth playing. Maybe he can be crowned king, but not inherited?...... If it weren't for that edict, maybe the imperial grandson wouldn't have been able to establish his position. After all, four of the six Shangshu are directed towards our prince. ”

Li Feng gritted his teeth, rubbed it gently, and whispered in Xiao Lizi's ear: "Xiao Lizi, you say, is this edict likely to be fake?"

Xiao Lizi was startled, quickly covered Lifeng's mouth, and scolded in a low voice: "Silence, I doubt it too, but don't say it." Now that the overall situation has been decided and the dust has settled, what else can we do? Who else dares to raise this question in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? Even if it is not true, what can we do? Fang Xiaoru and they were in charge of the upper study, and the first emperor drafted documents, which were also made by those scholars who had befriended them, and all the seals and jade seals were kept by them. Especially the father-in-law of Na'an......"

Xiao Lizi looked carefully left and right, and found that the nearest people were all three zhang away, so he said carefully: "If my little Li Zi is Gonggong An, I will also choose the emperor's grandson." If the prince sits in that position, his father-in-law will be worthless, and the position of the chief of the inner hall and the head of the Jinyi guard will belong to our father-in-law Lu...... Eh, isn't that the truth?"

Li Feng pondered for a long time, and sighed: "What's the use of saying so much? Xiao Lizi, the most important thing for us now is to bring the three highnesses back to Yanjing, and the rest, naturally, the prince will deal with them, even if we suspect something, we can't find evidence...... I said, you have been following His Highness closely these days, even if he goes to the toilet to change clothes, you have to follow him in. In the teacup and in the food, you should first use a silver needle to probe it, but don't let others give His Highness ......."

Xiao Lizi was covered with cold sweat, and cursed in a low voice: "These bastards, won't they be so ruthless?"

Li Feng sneered: "The imperial grandson will naturally not directly poison His Highness, but if there are other princes who want to fish in troubled waters, if His Royal Highness is poisoned in the capital, then what will the prince think?"

Xiao Lizi lightly gestured with a knife split: "Then it is naturally to recruit troops and buy horses, and the army is going south?"

Li Feng sneered: "After the prince and the imperial grandson fought to the death, the poisoned prince suddenly raised troops, what do you say is the consequence?"

Xiao Li Zi gave Li Feng a thumbs up convincingly, and said in a low voice: "Director Li, you are still powerful." How can I say that? My little plum is convinced of you. Don't worry, as long as I follow His Highness, I guarantee that His Highness is right...... Eh, do you want to talk about this matter with the other two highnesses?"

Li Feng shook his head: "Murong Tian is a powerful character, and His Royal Highness's own internal strength is also very profound, and he is not afraid of being poisoned." In case he is really poisoned, we can still use this as an excuse to leave the capital. In Li Feng's eyes, a strange light flickered, and he thought in his heart: "In this way, it is very feasible, do you want me to give the Second Highness a poison?" He continued: "As for the Third Highness, poisoning him, do you think there is any use? Poisoning the Third Highness will not damage our Yanwang Mansion at all, will the person who poisoned him be so stupid?"

Xiao Lizi coughed: "That's right, His Royal Highness is good at playing with women, and he doesn't have any other skills, I won't choose him as a target, so I just need to keep an eye on the master?"

Li Feng nodded approvingly: "Isn't it? As long as our Highness is safe, it is basically safe." Other troublesome things must be solved one by one. Well, Xiao Lizi, among our entourage, you can find three brothers who are similar in shape to the three highnesses, and it will not be useful in the future. ”

Xiao Li Zi glanced at the human skin mask on Li Feng's face strangely, and asked in a low voice, "Li Dai Tao stiff?"

Li Feng smiled: "That's it." The Netherworld Palace can make a mask from human skin for three hours, so it is not difficult to make three faces that are the same as the three highnesses in the dozens of days of the entire sacrifice, right?"

Xiao Lizi was already so impressed that he nodded again and again: "It's not difficult, naturally it's not difficult, if it's rare, I'll deduct their salary for next year." ”

In a corner of the palace, in a heavily guarded hall, Zhu Yunwen had already changed into the emperor's robe, he turned his body, sat on the seat with a graceful appearance, and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, look, Yunwen's dress is still like an emperor?"

Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng had already knelt on the ground and cheered in a low voice: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Behind them, Shangshu Qitai also knelt respectfully on the ground and cheered with them. Then kneeling down were the bachelors of Fang Xiaoru's confidants, and these powerful scholars all smiled and knelt on the ground.

Zhu Yunwen smiled contentedly, he looked up at the ceiling, and thought in his heart: "I'm about to become the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty...... This world, hundreds of millions of people, are my people. Hahaha......" After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Yunwen slowly got up and asked, "My cousins, what are they doing now?"

The old eunuch An stood up and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, those princes just fought because of the bad food, and they killed a few little eunuchs. But the old slave has already promised them to make an extra exception and let them eat and drink well, otherwise, if this mess spreads, won't it make the people of the world laugh?"

Zhu Yunwen frowned, and shouted in a low voice: "They are so unreasonable, should this be their palace?" However, he was still very sweet in his heart, because the old eunuch called him: "Your Majesty." "It made him enjoy it.

After a pause, Zhu Yunwen asked a little hesitantly: "What kind of performance did Zhu Xu, Zhu Xuan and the others behave in the afternoon? His face was full of displeasure.

The old eunuch hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, these three sons, Zhu Xu, Zhu Xu, and Zhu Ren, are fighting even harder." That Zhu Ren killed the three little eunuchs, shouting that they wanted to eat some very strange luxuries, but the old slave couldn't find it for a while, so he could only perfunctory it. As for that Zhu Xuan, he is simply a rude man, and he can kill people with his fists. And Zhu Xi is the loudest voice of Zhu Xi, so his two brothers are also the most ruthless. ”

Zhu Yunwen's entire facial muscles relaxed, and he laughed: "Is that so? That's great, Father-in-law An, no matter what Zhu Ren wants them to eat and drink, you try to satisfy them as much as possible, don't let my cousins scold me for being stingy behind my back." Anyway, the etiquette of this court, to be honest, can it really govern them?...... Hey, even if they want to find a woman, you have ordered Qin Huaihe to do business as usual, but you are not allowed to let the people know, understand?"

The old eunuch knelt down with a smile on his face: "This is Your Majesty's grace, I think that as long as Your Majesty is gentle, they will be grateful to Dade." The old eunuch An said in his heart: "Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, I have repaid your personal favor." ”

Fang Xiaoru was full of disdain, and he said coldly: "These princes, where do they still have the royal demeanor? they know how to eat, drink and have fun, but it's okay, a few people in the Yan Wangfu don't seem to be as difficult to deal with as we imagined...... Silver luxury, don't worry. ”

Several scholars echoed Fang Xiaoru's opinions, quoted scriptures, and criticized Zhu Xi's brutal, extravagant, and flashy behavior. For a while, the saints in the hall were full of teachings, and Zhu Yunwen also frowned secretly when he heard it.

And in a room for the ministers of the imperial court to rest, a purple-robed minister looked indifferently at his cronies and subordinates in front of him, and whispered: "No matter what, arrange an opportunity for me to meet with the three princes of the Yan Palace." Go!" the cronie nodded with embarrassment, turned and swept out like the wind.

The purple-robed man slowly stood up, walked to the door and looked at the dark sky, and whispered: "Fang Xiaoru, don't you think that you have won? ”

He clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and snorted cold air from his nose.
