The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 114 Let's Take You to Meet the Grandson
In Yao Guangxiao's view, if Lan Yu would be used by Zhu Ying, then he could only be destroyed.

Lan Yu is arrogant and domineering.

There are many disrespectful remarks in private.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew about these remarks, but when Zhu Biao was there, he was more indulgent.

After all, Lan Yu's sister is Chang Yuchun's wife.And Chang Yuchun's eldest daughter is Zhu Biao's concubine.

From this level of relationship, they can also be regarded as relatives of the emperor.

So Sapphire was more unscrupulous in many things, drank a few mouthfuls of horse urine, and even dared to talk back to His Majesty at the banquet.

Yao Guangxiao has conspired for many years and has made arrangements for a long time.

It was no longer a matter of whether Zhu Di wanted to be emperor or not. Even if Zhu Di didn't want to, he would try his best to push Zhu Di away.

As for whether this process will cause turmoil in the Ming Empire and how much damage will be caused.

What to do with him.

If he learns this skill, if he doesn't display it, what is the meaning of his whole life?

After coming out of King Yan's mansion, Yao Guangxiao looked around and started to move towards the next target.

He is well aware of Jin Yiwei's strength, but he is also aware of Jin Yiwei's blind spots.

Jin Yiwei is His Majesty's eyes and ears, and the main targets of surveillance are usually ministers of civil and military affairs, nobles from various families.

How many people are there in the entire capital?

But the circumference of Nanjing's outer city is 230 kilometers, and the entire capital is about [-] square kilometers.

And now Daming, as the strongest country in the world, the current capital is the largest of the top ten famous cities in ancient times.

The scale, layout and design ideas of Nanjing City are unique in other ancient cities in the world.

There are mountains, lakes, rivers, dense settlements, and even farmland.

It is connected to the east and west by the Yangtze River, and there is Jiangpu City across the river to connect the north and the south.

It took a whole day for the two men to come together on horseback from opposite sides of the city.

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the current resident population has exceeded one million.

Jinyiwei recorded a total of 14 people from 5000 households, even if you counted more, it would only have [-] people.

Some of the 5000 Jinyiwei will guard the palace as Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guards, or travel with Zhu Yuanzhang as a guard of honor.

Set aside at most 1 people to monitor a city with millions of people.

Zhu Yuanzhang once whispered some ministers and husbands and wives in the early court, and even took out a portrait, which was a private scene of a certain minister.

The use of these means is more of a deterrent.

After all, it is different from Skynet, surveillance and the like in later generations.Jinyiwei's personnel and energy are limited.

Although their responsibilities are very extensive and they have the power to punish the common people, in fact Jin Yiwei seldom communicates with the common people.

Prestige basically emerged from rumors in the market.

For example, chatting in a certain teahouse, a certain minister of the third rank talked about His Majesty at home, and what he said was recorded in detail, and then he was killed by His Majesty.

More interestingly, a certain minister married a concubine, but his ability was not good enough, so he was ridiculed by His Majesty.

It was these rumors that made Jin Yiwei extremely mysterious and terrifying.

Of course, this is what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see.

As Yao Guangxiao, who was focused on planning a big business, he peeled off the surface to see the core, and never touched Jin Yiwei's key surveillance targets.

For example, Huang Zicheng, as the companion of the East Palace, the grandson's confidant, Jin Yiwei will not monitor him.

Many royal descendants will not either.

The person Yao Guangxiao is looking for today is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, Li Jinglong.

As a monk, Yao Guangxiao also followed Zhu Di, and was never on Jin Yiwei's watch list, which gave him a lot of room to play.

Li Jinglong succeeded Cao Guogong, his manner was graceful, and he was also a nephew, so he won Zhu Yuanzhang's trust and respect.

Li Jinglong and Zhu Di grew up as children. When Zhu Di was born in the military camp, he was very close to his cousin Li Wenzhong.

Li Jinglong was slightly younger than Zhu Di, and had an extremely good relationship with Zhu Di since childhood.

Since Zhu Di showed extremely high military talent since he was a child, Li Jinglong had a kind of admiration for Zhu Di when he was a child.

This kind of psychology is like the feeling of a scumbag to a scumbag, especially this scumbag is quite senior.

Although Li Jinglong can be said to beat Zhu Di in terms of knowledge, since everyone grew up in the military camp, military merit and combat ability are the key points of their approval.

When Zhu Di was a child, he was not loved by Zhu Yuanzhang. When he was seven years old, he didn't even have his own name.

Even if he was fighting outside all the year round, he wouldn't have time to choose a name casually. This shows that Zhu Di at that time was directly ignored by Zhu Yuanzhang.

There are also some small stories that I don't want to talk about.

When Zhu Di grew up, especially from the age of seven, his appearance and outline became more and more similar to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Among the many sons, only Zhu Di looks the most like Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is for this reason that Zhu Yuanzhang began to value Zhu Di.

After this contact, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that his seven-year-old son knew how to fight.

From this time on, it is the turning point of Zhu Di's life.

Xu Da's eldest daughter, Xu Yihua, served the empress in the palace very early on. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang communicated with Empress Ma and intended to let them have more contact.

Until the marriage was given later.

In terms of marriage, Zhu Di is happy, and he and Xu Yihua are childhood sweethearts, and Xu Yihua knew very early on that this is her future husband.

With Empress Ma, she often helped to say good things about Zhu Di.

That's how Zhu Di was able to marry the eldest daughter of Xu Da, a famous general of a generation, and even granted the former capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and now Beiping is a vassal.

Facing this uncle who grew up with him, Li Jinglong was crushed by his identity, background, and ability.

In terms of appearance, Li Jinglong can indeed beat Zhu Di, but he can't bear Zhu Di's appearance like His Majesty.

Compared with the current emperor's appearance, no matter how handsome he is, he is still a younger brother.

It is precisely because of these various reasons that Li Jinglong admires Zhu Di very much.

And this news was keenly felt by Yao Guangxiao.

After the remaining guards in Xiaoling came back to report the situation, Yao Guangxiao's thoughts turned to Li Jinglong.

Of course, the goal in his heart is far more than Li Jinglong alone.

What he needs to do now is to seek a greater chance of success for Zhu Di in the future.

Hall of Spring Harmony, East Palace.

For the past few days, Huang Zicheng has been living in fear, unable to sleep at night, unable to taste his food.

Ever since his confidant was arrested in Jinyiwei Prison, staying at home has always been a torment.

Arrived at the Hall of Spring Harmony before dawn, and would return after dark.

Only here, Huang Zicheng felt a little more at ease.

No matter how courageous Jin Yiwei is, it is impossible to take him from His Highness the Grandson.

Huang Zicheng also told Zhu Yunqi about this matter.

But Zhu Yunqi is a 15-year-old child, what can he do.

Let him talk to Grandpa Huang?

I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts yet.

Seeing Huang Zicheng walking back and forth anxiously in the hall, Zhu Yunqi could only comfort him: "Mr. Huang, don't worry too much. In my opinion, even Jin Yiwei should give me some face."

"Besides, there is no real evidence for Jin Yiwei, but the testimony of a few servants is not credible. Mr. Huang, you don't have to be so anxious."

Hearing this, Huang Zicheng said with a worried face, "Your Highness, you don't know that Jin Yiwei and those people can commit crimes even if they are innocent."

"Being caught by them now must be severely interrogated and tortured. It is estimated that one day they will take advantage of my unpreparedness and directly arrest me and send me to prison."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunqi's expression flickered with hesitation.

For Huang Zicheng, Zhu Yunqi still cares very much. After all, to some extent, Huang Zicheng is not only his teacher and confidant, but also a friend he gets along with day by day.

In the past three days, seeing Huang Zicheng getting thinner and thinner, Zhu Yunqi also felt a little guilty in his heart.

Speaking of which, it was his idea to arrange for people to investigate the whereabouts of Grandpa Huang.

After some hesitation in his heart, Zhu Yunqi gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Huang, although Jinyiwei is in the hands of the emperor, you should give me some face."

"I'm going to the Jinyiwei yamen today to see what kind of tricks they are playing."

"If not, I will ask them to release them directly."

Zhu Yunqi had never been afraid of Jin Yiwei, for him, Jin Yiwei was his servant.

Unlike the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the current Jinyiwei, under the command of Zhu Yuanzhang, has always been respectful to the descendants of the royal family.

The biggest reason why Zhu Yunqi didn't go for the past three days and decided to go until today is that he was worried that he would be involved.

When Huang Zicheng heard this, he was so excited that he bowed and bowed tremblingly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Grandson!"

Zhu Yunqi quickly helped Huang Zicheng up and said, "Mister, I understand in my heart, please don't worry too much, sir."

If you treat me with a state officer, I will repay it.

At this moment, these words echoed in Huang Zicheng's mind.

Even if he made up his mind, Zhu Yunqi was not ambiguous. With Huang Zicheng's current appearance, Zhu Yunqi had no intention of studying.

At that moment, he took Huang Zicheng and went straight to the Jinyiwei yamen.

Half an hour later, in front of Jin Yiwei's yamen.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

The eunuch's voice rang out in the Jinyiwei yamen.

Those who can have such ostentation, of course, everyone knows which emperor's grandson it is, and Song Zhong, who is in charge of the yamen, hastily came out to greet him.

"Chen Jinyiwei Zhenfu Song Zhong, I have met His Royal Highness!"

"Meet His Royal Highness"

Following Song Zhong's meeting, many Jin Yiwei bowed their heads and clasped their fists.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Song Zhong and said, "Song Zhenfu, go in and talk."

"I obey, Your Highness please."

Song Zhong bowed to lead the way, glanced at Huang Zicheng who was behind Zhu Yunqi from the corner of his eye, and immediately understood the reason why Zhu Yunqi came here.

After arriving at the Yamen lobby, Song Zhong invited Zhu Yunqi to sit down, no matter what.The current Zhu Yunqi is the grandson in name.

Even if he is not canonized, the emperor's grandson is not something Jin Yiwei can easily resist.

"I don't know what orders His Highness has when he comes to Jinyiwei Yamen." Song Zhong asked with a bow.

It was obviously the first time for Zhu Yunqi to come to the Jinyiwei yamen, seeing how respectful these Jinyiwei were to him, he felt relieved and said directly:

"I heard from Huang Hanlin that your Jin Yiwei arrested his servant and put him in jail?"

Song Zhong was taken aback when he heard the words, and said: "This is absolutely impossible. How could we wait for Jin Yiwei to arrest Huang Hanlin's servant? There must be a misunderstanding about this matter."

When Huang Zicheng heard this, he couldn't help but interjected, "It was the afternoon three days ago when two of my servants went out. Not long after, there was news that they were arrested by you and other Jin Yiwei."

"The afternoon three days ago?" Song Zhong asked with doubts, "I don't know if Huang Hanlin knew what he committed and was arrested by me."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Huang Hanlin don't want to misunderstand, it's really me waiting for Jinyiwei, who arrests too many prisoners every day, I really don't have any impression of such things."

Seeing what Song Zhong said, Huang Zicheng actually believed it, and hurriedly reported the names of his two servants.

After Song Zhong heard this, he called the captain directly, and ordered: "Go and find out these two names immediately, and why they were taken into prison three days ago."

"Honestly obey orders."

After Song Zhong finished making arrangements, he smiled and said to Huang Zicheng, "Huang Hanlin, it may be that we are negligent in handling affairs. In recent days, there have been a lot of thefts in the capital."

"Originally, it was the work of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, but now I have to wait for Jin Yiwei to assist."

Seeing Song Zhong's enthusiasm, Huang Zicheng gradually felt relieved.

Soon, a school lieutenant came over and reported: "My lord, there are indeed two people with the same name as your lord said, and they were arrested three days ago."

"What's the reason?" Song Zhong asked smoothly.

"It's not a big deal, but a brother saw these two people sneaking around on the street, and there were a lot of thefts these days, so he went directly to ask."

"I didn't know that the two of them were guilty of thieves and wanted to escape, so they were directly arrested and returned."

The captain will tell the details one by one.

Song Zhong nodded, turned to Huang Zicheng and said, "It seems to be a misunderstanding. I didn't expect these two to be Mr. Huang's servants. I'm really sorry. I didn't expect my subordinates to handle things so rough."

"I don't even inquire about it, even Huang Hanlin's servants dare to arrest them, these little bastards, it seems that they need to be dealt with."

"When I look back, I will definitely reprimand them severely."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zicheng explained in a somewhat embarrassing way:
"Maybe they were more afraid to see Jin Yiwei, which caused such a misunderstanding. It's good that things are clarified."

At the same time, the stone in Huang Zicheng's heart finally fell to the ground, and he asked again: "I don't know when they will be released."

Song Zhong said with a smile: "Since it is a misunderstanding, it is natural to release it immediately. Huang Hanlin wait a moment, I will issue a document and release it immediately."

Seeing this, Zhu Yunqi frowned and said: "You need to be more careful when you do things in the future. Such random arrests will ruin Jin Yiwei's reputation."

"Your Highness has taught you the lesson. I will definitely admonish you strictly in the future, and never commit such a thing again." The corners of Song Zhong's mouth twitched, as far as Jin Yiwei still had any reputation.

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, not wanting to wait any longer.

Huang Zicheng saw that the matter had settled down, and it was not convenient for him to meet with his servants. After getting Song Zhong's affirmation, he followed Zhu Yunqi back to the palace.

After Song Zhong was sent to the gate, he looked at the backs of Zhu Yunqi, Huang Zicheng, and many eunuchs leaving.

A cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Sister, do you think Grandpa Huang has forgotten us? It's been several days."

Zhu Yunxi quietly asked Zhu Mingyue at the Imperial Academy.

Zhu Mingyue looked at the teacher in front of him, and replied: "Grandpa Huang has a lot of things to do every day, it's normal to forget, we just have to wait patiently, there will always be a day when he will remember."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and asked again: "Sister, what did you say about the elder brother mentioned by the emperor's grandfather?"

Zhu Mingyue frowned and said, "Grandpa Huang won't say anything, don't ask too many questions."

"Oh."

Not long after the siblings talked, a eunuch came in and said:

"Your Majesty ordered to summon the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue to see him."

　Recommend a book "Hongwu Daming: How My Son Hasn't Rebelled", traveled back to the Hongwu period and became the emperor of Daming, aiming to eat, drink and have fun... Years later, Zhu Yuanzhang scolded: "Why don't you follow Tianjing to take over my throne? what?"
