Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 570

Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I have seen you, young master, are you Xiumu today?"

"Wang Banban, is father here?"

Zhu Cihong stopped, nodded to Wang Chengen and asked, his personal servant Zhao Xin hurriedly bowed to Wang Chengen.

"Here, the emperor will finish his business, young master, go in quickly!"

Wang Chengen replied with a smile to Zhu Cihong, whose demeanor was becoming more and more stable, and he was also thinking about it secretly.

"It is said that the heavenly family has no kinship, but the emperor's family is usually no different from ordinary people's families. The emperor is kind, the prince is Xiaofu, the queen is virtuous, and the concubines are not the kind who like to make trouble. In the future, the emperor's funeral God, our family went west with the emperor, and the young master ascended the throne and became the king, and the common people in this world have the same blessings to enjoy."

After hearing this, Zhu Cihong stepped forward and entered the hall, while Zhao Xin stayed outside the hall and waited.After Wang Chengen handed the dossier to an eunuch, he gave a few instructions, and the eunuch bowed and turned to walk away quickly. Wang Chengen pulled Xin Zhao to the side with a smile and began to question.

This Zhao Xin is the little eunuch who went to the magistrate's Yamen to report the news when Zhu Yunhui, the son of King Chu, killed his father. Wisdom and courage are greatly appreciated.

With the elimination of the royal family of Chu, a kind of eunuch in the Chu palace was also sent to the capital. Zhu Youjian specially ordered Wang Chengen to recruit Zhao Xin into the harem and send him to Zhu Cihong as a personal servant.

Zhu Youjian had already heard the voices of Wang Chengen and Zhu Cihong outside the hall. After seeing Zhu Cihong entering the hall, Zhu Youjian stepped down the imperial steps. Zhu Cihong bowed and saluted and said, "I have seen my father!"

"Since the prince is Xiu Mu, why doesn't he go out to play? When the autumn is crisp and clear, wouldn't it be a good idea to invite three or five classmates to climb high and look far away together?"

Zhu Youjian smiled and waved his hands, looking at the eldest son who looked more and more like Zhou Hou, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost five years since I came to Daming. The seven-year-old boy who came here for the first time has unconsciously realized that he has grown up, and his demeanor has a faint royal air.

Zhu Cihong has been studying in the Imperial College for several months, and due to strict confidentiality, the only one who knows his true identity is Wen Tiren's grandson, Wen You.

The many peers in the family of the rest of the important ministers did not know that the prince and them were classmates, but they were strictly warned by the elders in the family not to inquire about the identities of other classmates, and they must strictly abide by their duties in prison, and their words and deeds must not be excessive If there is any behavior that violates the family rules and national laws, it will be immediately removed from the family, expelled from the house and left to fend for itself.

Since no one knew his identity, in the past few months in the Guozijian, Zhu Cihong had put down his dignity and made a few friends, some were the sons of important ministers, and some were of ordinary background, among them was Wen You, who was the same age as him.

No matter what they did in the prison because of their personalities and hobbies, these people would meet together, and all of this was seen by the Captain Jinyi who was placed in the Imperial College with various identities, so Zhu Youjian treated Zhu Cihong It can be said that he is well aware of his daily behavior, including the fact that Zhu Cihong came to the palace to look for him today.

"Father, I have come to report something important today! I never thought that there would be such a scum in the army! His behavior has already discredited my royal family. I think that such people must not be forgiven! It must be severely punished to show others!"

After Zhu Cihong saluted again, he asked Zhu Youjian seriously.

"Oh? What is the big event that makes the prince so angry? It has something to do with the army? Come on, the prince will tell me carefully, and I will be there for everything! Companion, show the prince a seat!"

Zhu Youjian smiled and gave instructions, Wang Chengen and Zhao Xin rushed in, Zhao Xin moved a brocade stool from the side, Zhu Youjian turned back and sat down on the dragon bed, Zhu Cihong also sat down after saluting, Wang Chengen poured a glass The hot tea was brought over, Zhu Cihong took it and talked about an incident that happened to him recently.

One day at the end of last month, it happened to be the next day for the prison students to take a bath. At about [-]:[-] that afternoon, Zhu Cihong and several classmates left the gate of the Imperial College. After saying goodbye to each other, they were accompanied by Cheng Jian and Zhao Xin who were waiting outside the gate of the Imperial College. After walking for a certain distance, I sat in a waiting four-wheeled carriage at the entrance of an alley with few pedestrians and headed towards Miyagi.

This Cheng Jian is not an outsider, but the eldest son of Cheng Qianli, the head guard next to Zhu Youjian.

Cheng Jian is not very old. He just turned 16 years old. He has a thin and straight body and his eyes are shining. When looking at people, he always looks at the other person's waist and palms first. .

Cheng Jian was sent by Cheng Qianli to Wudang Mountain to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he returned to Beijing two years ago after completing his skills. After that, he was registered as a wrestler according to the tradition of Jinyiwei.After a year of exercising outside, Cheng Qianli asked Cheng Jian to be Zhu Cihong's personal guard after Zhu Youjian asked for instructions.

Since Zhu Cihong entered the Imperial College to study, neither Cheng Jian nor Zhao Xin could enter the prison with their identities, so the two waited in a teahouse outside the Imperial College on weekdays, in case Zhu Cihong had any urgent matters and could not find help.

In fact, what the two of them didn't know was that before Zhu Cihong entered the Imperial College, Jin Yiwei had already arranged for many people to station there with their hands. Appear.

Even the teahouse where the two of them wait everyday is actually owned by Jinyiwei.The bosses inside are all Jinyiwei General Banner and Xiaowei. The purpose of these people is to ensure the safety of the crown prince.

"Master, should we go eat a bowl of cheese cake first?"

The carriage was pedaling, and the temperature in the late summer and early autumn made people feel extremely comfortable. Xin Zhao saw Zhu Cilang open the small window and look around, the expression on his face was as peaceful as usual, so he asked for instructions with a smile. .

On the way back to the palace, there is a small shop that sells several homemade hot and cold desserts in summer. Among them, the cold and smooth cheese cake is the most famous and Zhu Cihong's favorite.Since May, whenever Xiu Mu came back and passed by this store, Zhu Cihong would go to taste it, and when he left, he would bring a portion for each of Kunxing, Yongwang, Dingwang and Erya.

Zhu Cihong nodded while looking at the pedestrians and scenery on the street outside the window, Cheng Jian pulled a partition in front of the carriage, and said something to the captain driving the carriage, the carriage continued along the spacious street and stopped for a while.

Cheng Jian opened the carriage door and jumped down, put one hand between his chest and abdomen and looked around vigilantly, then nodded to Xin Zhao who jumped out of the carriage, Xin Zhao took out the brocade stool from a corner of the carriage and put it away, Zhu Cihong bent over Picking up the corner of his robe and stepping on the brocade stool to get out of the car, Cheng Jian stepped into the shop.

"Hey, young master, are you here? Is it time for rest and bathing again? The sun is a bit poisonous today, and it's just right to eat a bowl of cheese cakes to relieve the heat while the heat is still hot! Young master, is it still the old rules this time?"

This small shop has a small facade. There are five or six wooden long tables in the shop. Each table can accommodate up to four people. It is shaped like a small fast food restaurant in later generations. A window to sell desserts to customers who are not eating in the store.

At this time, the small shop was very clean, only two customers dressed as businessmen chatted while eating cheese cakes. After Cheng Jian walked to the shop door and nodded, Zhu Cihong led Zhao Xin into the shop door, who was about forty years old. The upper and lower shopkeepers rushed forward to meet them and greeted them with a smile.

Since Zhu Cihong brought Cheng Jian and Zhao Xin to frequent this small shop for several months, he and his wife became acquainted with each other over time.

"It's still the old rule, three servings of cheese puff pastry are eaten in the store, and the other four are packed when you leave!"

Zhu Cihong smiled and nodded in response while giving a few casual instructions, then walked to a clean table, Zhao Xin quickly stepped forward and pulled the chair away, after Zhu Cihong sat down, Zhao Xin and Cheng Jian left and one Standing on both sides on the right, the school lieutenant who drove the carriage got off the carriage and stood outside the shop door, guarding the surroundings.

"Okay! Young master, please sit down, the villain will come as soon as he goes!"

　Thanks to Qingcheng Yunwu Piaomiao for the reward.
