The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 27 Yao Guangxiao's Arrangements
New yard.

Zhu Ying is looking around to see what needs to be changed.

Zhang Bo is directing his servants and subordinates to adjust and clean up.

This courtyard is said to have been the residence of the court officials earlier.

But unfortunately, because of the crime of corruption, he was executed by His Majesty.

The location of this courtyard is very good, it is only a few hundred steps away from the Qinhuai River, and it is still a big courtyard with five entrances.

It is relatively close to the teahouse.

Without Zhu Gaochi's help, as Zhu Ying's merchant, he wouldn't even be able to see the yard.

"Uncle Zhang, you are busy here first, I have to inform the King of Yan when I go to the Palace of King Yan."

"My boss, don't worry, I'm here, and when you come back, I can clean it up."

After explaining to Zhang Bo, Zhu Ying left alone.

In the Western Regions, the days of the grasslands.

Zhu Ying was always accompanied by dozens of people, not for ostentation, but for places like that where bloody fights could happen from time to time.

But here is the capital, and the law and order under the emperor's feet, especially during Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, was quite good.

About half an hour later, Zhu Ying arrived at the gate of King Yan's Mansion.

Several hours ago, Zhu Ying left from here.

The subordinates didn't have much luggage, so it was very convenient to leave.

It's just that Zhu Di, King of Yan, was called into the palace at that time, and now it's getting late, so it must be time to come back, so I came to thank Zhu Di for taking him in recently.

"Young Master Ying, you came just in time, His Highness has just returned home."

When the servant at the gate of the palace saw Zhu Ying, he said with a smile.

Zhu Ying still has the characteristics of later generations, and never underestimates any servant or anyone.

Although they don't deliberately please, the servants in the palace are very enthusiastic about this Young Master Ying who lives temporarily.

"Thank you, I'll treat you to tea later."

"Young Master Ying is polite."

Since King Yan's family is all surnamed Zhu, on the capital's side, it is obvious that the address is more particular, that is, the name is used instead of the surname.

After entering the yard, Zhu Ying saw Yao Guangxiao in black in front of him after walking a few steps.

"Master Daoyan, wait a moment."

Zhu Ying yelled, and Yao Guangxiao turned around when he heard the words, and when he saw Zhu Ying, he walked over and said with a smile:

"Why, I'm not used to staying in the palace, so I moved out."

It seemed that Yao Guangxiao had not been back for long, but Zhu Ying was already used to Yao Guangxiao leaving early and returning late.

"My subordinates are rough-handed and rough-handed. I'm afraid that one day the rules of the palace will be broken and it will be difficult to do so. I'd better move out and feel at ease."

Zhu Ying explained casually.

Yao Guangxiao didn't ask any further questions, but after a few words of greeting, he took Zhu Ying to the lobby of the palace.

In the lobby, Zhu Di was sitting drinking tea, apparently waiting for Yao Guangxiao.

Seeing Zhu Ying, I was a little surprised, and then smiled and said: "If you encounter something outside, just tell me that this king of the capital still has some face."

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yan. I'm here to thank King Yan specially. I don't know if King Yan is free today. I have prepared wine and dishes to thank King Yan."

Zhu Ying said politely, as a businessman, of course he knew that King Yan had one thigh.

King Yan's reputation is extremely useful not only in Beiping, but also in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Now his caravan is estimated to arrive in the capital soon.

When the time comes to do some business, with the relationship of King Yan, it will naturally save a lot of trouble.

As for why King Yan couldn't forget him so much, he didn't bother to think about it.

Anyway, so far, it's not a bad thing.

Zhu Di didn't expect Zhu Ying to invite him to the banquet, but after hesitating for a while, he still refused:

"The king has some other things to deal with in the palace. If you like it, the king accepts it, so let the king come back and invite you back in another day."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying was slightly taken aback.

Zhu Di's refusal was within his expectation, but these kind words did not resemble how a feudal lord would feel towards merchants.

Even in Beiping earlier, I never saw King Yan so polite.

Although I felt a little strange in my heart, it was impossible to ask more.

Seeing that Yao Guangxiao was at the side, it was obvious that there was something to talk about, so Zhu Ying said some polite words, then said goodbye and left.

This trip seems to be just a matter of one sentence.

But first of all, it is a matter of etiquette and attitude.

The so-called courtesy is not surprising.

In the chaotic and barbaric places like the Western Regions and the grasslands, Zhu Ying could get along well.

In a civilized place like the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he is even more comfortable.

In other words, he is much more familiar with this kind of civilized communication than the savage ones.

Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di silently watched Zhu Ying leave.

Zhu Di signaled the surrounding guards and servants to close the door and retreat.

Then he waited for Yao Guangxiao to say: "The method you mentioned, the king has already told the father today, but you have to grasp it well."

"Jinyiwei of the capital, I think you understand that any abnormality can be easily caught by them."

Yao Guangxiao bowed slightly and said: "His Royal Highness, just rest assured, the poor monk's arrangement is absolutely impossible for Jin Yiwei to detect the slightest abnormality."

"The young and the old leave home, and the old man returns, the local accent remains unchanged. The children meet and don't know each other, and ask the guests where they come from with a smile."

After Yao Guangxiao finished speaking, he read a poem by He Zhizhang in the Tang Dynasty, and then continued:
"Don't talk about five or six years, even if we don't see each other for two or three years, they will change their appearance, not to mention that Zhu Ying is only a few years old when he left home."

"Again, I've traveled all over the world since I was a child, and my accent has changed a lot. That's it. Who can explain clearly."

"You just need to tell His Majesty this, and with His Majesty's suspicious nature, you will naturally believe it."

Yao Guangxiao said slowly, his words were extremely confident.

Seeing this, Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction.

When I was discussing with Yao Guangxiao how to create doubts about Zhu Ying's identity.

It was Yao Guangxiao who proposed to use Zhu Ying to make a fuss about the fact that Zhu Ying was a businessman and rarely went home.

Moreover, these techniques are very natural and in line with the natural laws of human growth.

It only needs a little guidance to create fog and suspicion for Zhu Ying's identity.

The most important thing is that there is no shadow of the dark hand.

It is useless to others, but Zhu Di understands it deeply and it works extremely well for his father.

When the time comes, whether it is true or false, father can only choose based on his own feelings.

Zhu Di knew very well how much his father doted on his once eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying.

That's not even the big brother Zhu Biao.

If the father is true then
Thinking of this, Zhu Di turned his head and asked Yao Guangxiao: "About the follow-up matter, is there a reply now, and whether the arrangements have been made properly."

"All of the follow-up is the key of the key, and there must be no sloppy."

Yao Guangxiao heard the words and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, it's a coincidence that the agreement is good. The poor monk carefully checked the Luyin file. In the 15th year of Hongwu, Zhu Ying's father set out from Hanzhong to come to the capital to do business."

"Zhu Ying's nickname is Goudan. The poor monk has already set up a small cemetery in the outskirts of Hanzhong. He found the remains of children of about the same age and buried them there."

Speaking of the child's corpse, Yao Guangxiao, a monk and part-time Taoist priest, spoke naturally.

Zhu Di nodded, and then instructed: "Don't meddle in the matter of the Hanzhong cemetery after it is settled. With Jin Yiwei's ability, it is not difficult to find out."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di asked hesitantly, "Those disciples of yours."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the poor monk will arrange for them to go to the Western Regions to preach." Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao said quickly.

Zhu Di hesitated slightly, his throat rolling, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The so-called big event does not stick to small details. In theory, it is naturally best to silence it.

But obviously Yao Guangxiao still cared about those apprentices.

Yao Guangxiao, as Zhu Di's military adviser, didn't want to leave any unpleasantness because of this incident.

Then give up.
