The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

At si o'clock in the morning, outside the east gate of the Chengdu Mansion, Zhang Fan and his group were ready to return to Beijing, and Zhu Xuanqi brought a large group of people from the Shu Palace to see them off.

"Master Zhang, this trip to Chengdu is really troublesome." Zhu Xuanqi took Zhang Fan's hand and said to him, "It's too bad that Master Zhang doesn't even have a chance to visit the mountains and rivers here. It took so much time, but this is also for the court and the Queen Mother, there is no way to shirk it. If Master Zhang has a chance to come here in the future, this king must treat Master Zhang well. Wang De has to personally take Mr. Zhang to have a good tour of the southwest, "

"The kindness of the lord, I must keep it in my heart." Zhang Fan nodded and said, "If there is a chance to come to Chengdu in the future, I will definitely come to the palace to meet the lord, and I will disturb the lord more. But speaking of it, I hope that the prince can come to the capital, but when the time comes, it will not be my turn to entertain the prince, but if this is the case, I still hope that the prince can stay at the mansion for a few days. So that Wei Chen can take this opportunity to repay the prince's favor this time."

"Master Zhang, this is really a joke," Zhang Fan's words made Zhu Xuanqi laugh, but the smile on his face always makes people feel that it is not so natural, with some self-deprecating, but also some laughing , "With this king's identity, you can go to this capital city if you want, Mr. Zhang, don't tell me these jokes anymore,"

"Hey, look at Wei Chen's brain," Zhang Fan patted his forehead symbolically, and said, "However, Wei Chen also asks the prince not to be offended, Wei Chen will forget this in a while. This is the only thing I have said about the matter. I have offended you so much. Please forgive me, my lord.

"However, this is not an unintentional mistake of this minister. In fact, this minister is from the bottom of his heart. He really hopes that the prince can go to the capital to have a look. The scenery here is beautiful, but there are also some things in the capital that have never existed here, and the prince knows it even if he wants to come, but whether it is what is said in the book or what he said, it is not as good as seeing it with his own eyes."

"Since Mr. Zhang has said so, then the king will naturally not say spoiling things." Zhu Xuanqi smiled and said, "But this matter really depends on luck."

Speaking of this, Zhu Xuanqi sighed. His sigh made everyone present bow their heads. Yes, he, Zhu Xuanqi, is the prince, and he is the most powerful vassal under the current Ming Dynasty. In this way, there is absolutely no way for him to enter the capital casually. If not, as long as Zhu Xuanqi enters the capital in the future, his life will definitely be lost.

Of course, there are exceptions, that is, the Empress Dowager Li issued an imperial decree to call him to the capital. In this way, Zhu Xuanqi will naturally be able to go to the capital without any scruples, but the possibility of such a thing happening is very small Of course, even with this incident, even if the Empress Dowager Li issued an edict to invite him to Beijing, the possibility that Zhu Xuanqi would go is very, very small.

However, it is naturally impossible for someone to say this kind of thing now. These people present are all smart people, so they naturally understand the truth of it, so no one will say it at all, to avoid embarrassment. Well, what Zhang Fan said to Zhu Xuanqi was completely polite to each other, and no one took their words seriously.

But now, after Zhu Xuanqi said this, not only did they dare not speak anymore, even Zhang Fan also became silent.

Zhu Xuanqi naturally understood, he had already expected that the atmosphere would turn into such a silent and awkward look, but in fact, this was what Zhu Xuanqi had already planned to say, and the reason why he said this was not to give These people present hinted that he has no other way now, and that he is not as domineering as before. The most important thing is that he hopes that these people will return to the court in the future and be able to fight against the Queen Mother Li. Say good things to him in front of him.

Seeing that his goal has been achieved, of course, what these people will say after they return to the capital is beyond Zhu Xuanqi's control. He has already done what he should do, and then he will see what he can do. .

"By the way, Master Zhang," Zhu Xuanqi seemed to see that Zhang Fan had also become silent, and wanted to break the deadlock, so he said, "It's getting late now, if you don't leave, It may be difficult for the adults to reach Shunqing Mansion before dark, and that would be bad," Zhu Xuanqi picked up the full wine glass next to him and looked at the people present people.

"Come on, my lords," Zhu Xuanqi said in a loud voice, "this cup of wine is practiced for you by this king. I wish you all a safe return to the capital. This king will do it first to respect you." After finishing speaking, Zhu Xuanqi raised his head and drank the wine up.

Seeing Zhu Xuanqi like this, all the people present naturally raised their glasses and drank the wine in their hands.

Zhang Fan put down the empty cup, came to Zhu Xuanqi, and said, "My lord, please go back, it's a bit cold today, and the adults are going back to the capital, and I have some things to do over there, so I can't delay it." of,"

"This king understands," Zhu Xuanqi nodded, and said to Zhang Fan, "In this case, then this king will leave, Mr. Zhang, remember what this king said, if you have the opportunity to come here again, don't forget Come to the palace to have a drink with the king, "

"Okay, I've made a note of it," Zhang Fan nodded, and said, "I will take it as the prince's order, and I will never forget it."

"In that case, that's fine." Zhu Xuanqi nodded solemnly this time, and said to Zhang Fan, "In that case, then I won't delay Mr. Zhang's trip any longer. It's really late now. Now, I don’t know if the place Master Zhang is going to is far from here, it’s not good if it’s delayed, in this case, this king will go back here, Master Zhang, go all the way, "

"My lord too, be careful on the way back," Zhang Fan said goodbye to Zhu Xuanqi.

Zhu Xuanqi was also a straightforward person. Now that he had bid farewell to everyone, there was no need to procrastinate. He got into the carriage and returned to Chengdu.

Seeing Zhu Xuanqi's returning convoy until it disappeared into the east gate of Chengdu Mansion, Zhang Fan turned his head.

What Zhu Xuanqi said just now made Zhang Fan feel some thoughts. It seems that Zhu Xuanqi is really going to start to hide his strength and bide his time, so as not to cause some troubles.

After bidding farewell to Zhu Xuanqi, Zhang Fan said goodbye briefly to those who came from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and then headed south.

Of course, Zhang Fan had already told Zhu Xuanqi before that he had other things to do and would stay in the southwest for a while, so he was referring to the Five Poison Sect, but Fang Yueling There is no news yet, that is to say, it is not time to go, but I can't wait for a few days to come.

But now, he has to leave the Chengdu Mansion, or Zhang Fan has to leave the Shu Palace. After all, even if he can't leave Sichuan, he has to send Zhu Xuanluo to the capital. Not only is the matter important, but more importantly, what Zhu Xuanluo said to Zhang Fan the night before yesterday made Zhang Fan understand one thing, that is, Zhu Xuanluo began to feel worried about this matter.

Of course, Zhang Fan also believes what Zhu Xuanluo said to him before, that he has already been appointed for this matter, as long as Zhang Fan can guarantee that he will not lose his life because of this in the future, even if he has to live in the future. He has already been appointed to live incognito.

However, what he said that night also made Zhang Fan feel in his heart that Zhu Xuanluo might also start to become uneasy about this matter. Although he has already been appointed to this matter, it does not mean that he will not be worried. .

That is to say, Zhang Fan wasn't worried that Zhu Xuanluo would change his mind halfway, what he was more worried about was that Zhu Xuanluo would not be able to withstand the pressure during this period of time, so that something would be exposed in front of Zhu Xuanqi, so that Zhu Xuanqi could see from it If that's the case, it would be terrible. If Zhu Xuanqi is the first to attack Zhu Xuanluo, then even if the Queen Mother Li already has the genealogy in her hands, she will lose Zhu Xuanluo. With the words of this key witness, all Zhang Fan's hard work will be in vain.

Therefore, originally Zhang Fan planned to stay in the Shu Palace for one or two more days, but after he discovered Zhu Xuanluo's situation, he immediately made up his mind that this matter must not be postponed, and must be done on time. Just do it, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Therefore, Zhang Fan decided to leave today.

However, since it was to get Zhu Xuanluo out and send him to the capital without disturbing Zhu Xuanqi, Zhang Fan also discussed a lot with Feng Bao and made a lot of preparations.

After leaving Chengdu Mansion, Zhang Fan and his party headed south, while Feng Bao and the others thought about going to Shunqing Mansion in the east.

But Zhang Fan stopped after traveling south for more than ten miles. He had to wait for specific news before he started on the road again.

It wasn't just Zhang Fan who stopped here, even Feng Bao stopped, but others were very curious about why Feng Bao stopped, but Feng Bao told them that there was someone else Chengdu has to go with them, so they have to wait, which also makes other people puzzled.

At this time in the Shu Palace, Zhu Xuanluo also became anxious,
