Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 437 Dongchang is still too shabby
Zhengyang Gate.

With the arrival of the emperor's driving force, the hustle and bustle near Zhengyang Gate subsided instantly.

The local porters put down their burdens and took refuge in the narrow alleys with familiarity.Business travelers from other places looked around curiously, admiring the majesty of the royal family, and prepared it as a talk for returning home in the future.Pedestrians on the road spontaneously stood aside, flashing a path for the approaching knight.

In the eyes of everyone, the emperor's carriage, inlaid with gold and silver, embodying the luxury and majesty of the royal family, slowly passed by.

It's just different from the past, today's Yu Tuo is followed by a thin and thin boy.

The boy was dressed plainly, his face was covered with tears and dust, even though he was tired and sweating profusely, he still staggered closely behind the carriage.

"Who is this kid, and why is he following the carriage?"

"How do we know that Jin Yiwei should have caught a fugitive on the road?"

"What do you outsiders know? This man is the grandson of the emperor. We saw it from afar when the crown prince was going to the funeral!"

"Emperor's grandson?"

"Why doesn't the emperor's grandson take a carriage?"

"We don't know about that, maybe he is afraid of tiring the horse?"

While everyone was whispering, a crying voice sounded from the crowd.

"You know what, His Majesty the Emperor specially ordered someone to use his own carriage to pick up the second emperor's grandson from the imperial mausoleum to enter the palace. The second emperor's grandson insisted on not taking the carriage because of the etiquette!"

"Such loyal, benevolent, filial, and courteous people are the role models for our grandsons of the Ming Dynasty!"

The people around were all moved when they heard this. In their eyes, Zhu Yunqi was just a child of fifteen or sixteen years old. Not to mention that he was born in the royal family, he was a child of ordinary people. easy.

"Oh, the imperial mausoleum is at least twenty miles away from the capital, and the second emperor's grandson walked all the way back?"

"This child is really sensible, he is indeed the grandson of the emperor!"

"What is this? I also heard that there are several sons behind the crown prince, and only the second emperor's grandson is willing to go to the grave to observe his filial piety. This filial piety alone is much better than others!"

After hearing this, the surrounding people admired Zhu Yunqi even more.

"Tsk tsk, what a benevolent and filial boy, the emperor is blessed!"

"This child is too sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed, woo woo woo..."

Just as the people around were immersed in the emotion, there was another discordant voice from the crowd, with a strong Shaanxi accent.

"What's the use of being sensible, why don't you invite His Majesty the Emperor to see you?"

"I heard that the second emperor's grandson is about to be expelled from the capital and sent to North Korea to eat pickles!"

"What?"

"Brother, who did you listen to?"

"Who do you need to listen to?"

"The second emperor's grandson is older, and he was supposed to be the emperor's grandson. I don't know what trick Zhu Yunxi used to make His Majesty the emperor happy. Not to mention taking away the second emperor's grandson's position, he can't tolerate his brothers. Every day I think about driving my brother to the sky..."

There were such discordant voices everywhere in the crowd, and the people who didn't know the truth were instantly led astray.

"The second emperor's grandson is pitiful!"

"It's the same for the emperor, how can you be willing to send such a good grandson?"

After the common people were aroused by the Shaanxi accent, a few people dressed as scholars popularized the history of the Qin Dynasty.

"It is said that at the time of Qin Shihuang, the eldest prince Fusu was wise, and later Zhao Gao and Li Si made Huhai the emperor, and ordered people to kill Fusu!"

"Maybe the Second Emperor's grandson is our Daming's Fusu!"

"I've heard the story of Fusu. These days, there are storytellers everywhere in restaurants and teahouses telling stories about the Romance of the Qin and Han Dynasties!"

"Poor Fusu, if Qin Shihuang passed the throne to Fusu, how could Daqin let that rascal Liu Bang snatch him away!"

Driven by so many caring people, when the people near Zhengyangmen looked at Zhu Yunqi, they all had a hint of sympathy. Those who are emotional think that this is a child without father and mother, and it is even more smug. shed a tear.

"This child is too pitiful, woo woo woo..."

Just as everyone was immersed in distress and sympathy, a group of men with strong Shaanxi accents shouted in unison.

"Second Emperor Sun Xianming!"

"The old emperor is unfair!"

The people around wanted to find a vent, and they immediately shouted after hearing this slogan.

Not long after, there were slogans of "the second emperor is wise, the old emperor is unfair" inside and outside Zhengyangmen.

Above the city gate of Zhengyangmen, Zhu Xi put his hands in his sleeves, raised his head and sniffed, and said to the brothers around him with a proud face.

"See, this is public opinion!"

"The old man will be ridiculed by the world if he insists on going his own way!"

King Zhou and the others immediately praised Zhu Xi when they heard the words, and soon Zhu Xi boasted too much. Only Zhu Di said it with a look of disgust.

"Second brother, the next time you do something small, tell the people below not to bring your accent in!"

Zhu Xi blushed in embarrassment when she heard the words, and forced herself to be calm.

"Have it?"

"Why didn't we hear any accent? Isn't this the same as the people in the capital?"

When Zhu Di heard this, he hurriedly moved away from Zhu Xi.

They came to Beijing this time to celebrate Lao Zhu's birthday, and some of them simply didn't go back after the military exercise ended and stayed in the capital all the time.

Generally speaking, as long as they don't want to rebel, no feudal lord is willing to leave the bustling capital and return to the fief where the birds don't shit.

When several people were talking, Zhu Yunqi also walked under the city gate.

Hearing the voices of the people around him, Zhu Yunwen felt his heart beating.

This is popular opinion!

I, Zhu Yunqi, also have the hearts of the people!
If Gu had already had such popular support, how could Gu have become a vassal in that poor place of North Korea?
Although Zhu Yunqi enjoys the voice of the people very much, he still insists on calmness, and even frequently interacts with the people around him, telling them not to praise his virtuous name.

However, common people like to join in the fun, the more you don't let them shout, the more vigorously they shout.

Su Peisheng followed Yu Tuo, and when he heard the voices of the people around him, his heart sank.

This is not what he should listen to!

Under the leadership of Qin Deshun, the eunuchs in the palace had already joined Zhu Yunxi collectively.

Now that such a big thing happened, even if he wasn't in charge, he still couldn't get rid of it.

While interacting with the surrounding people hypocritically, Zhu Yunqi walked past the five government departments and five departments. The officials of the five government departments and five departments who were working immediately ran out to watch the excitement when they heard the shouts from outside.

However, when they heard the people on the street praising Zhu Yunqi in this way, no one was surprised, and some even smiled knowingly.

"This is the voice of the people. His Majesty the Emperor should carefully consider how to deal with the second emperor's grandson, right?"

"It's hard to say..."

"His Majesty the Emperor is self-willed, and it may be counterproductive."

Yan Shenggong threw down these words, and slipped away on crutches by another road, leaving only Shangshu Tang Duo and others looking at each other in blank dismay.

"Old Tang, what does Yan Shenggong mean by this?"

"When we made this plan earlier, Lord Yan Sheng didn't object!"

"Listening to what he said now, do you want to remove yourself and put all the responsibility on us?"

Hearing what the big shots said, Tang Duo hurriedly stood up as a peacemaker.

"My colleagues, no one can get away with this matter. With His Majesty's wisdom and wisdom, sooner or later it will come to our heads!"

"Fortunately, the people in the royal family can't hold back and make a move. It should be able to help us resist for a while!"

When everyone heard this, a burst of secretly delighted smiles appeared on their faces.

Originally, what they planned was to use the story of Fusu to insinuate Zhu Yunxi, and they preached the stories of Fusu and Hu Hai in the capital one month in advance to pave the way for emotions in advance.

Who would have thought that they hadn't waited for them to shout slogans? A certain king in Shaanxi couldn't hold his breath. He not only stole their limelight, but also gave them a cover.

This wave of them is a steady profit!

As soon as Lao Zhu walked to the gate of the palace, he heard the shouts of the people on the street. When he heard "the old emperor is unfair", his face instantly became gloomy.

"Someone is doing something!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Deshun hurriedly offered a rainbow fart.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Old Zhu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, turned and left.

When Lao Zhu returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Imperial Dining Room sent someone to ask for orders again.

"Your Majesty, Manager Xu asked the servant to ask you, do you want to pass on the food now?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he kicked over the chair angrily.

"What kind of legend!"

"We're going to be full of gas!"

Seeing that Lao Zhu was angry, Qin Deshun hurriedly dragged the little eunuch to the outside of the hall.

"Go back and tell Master Xu to wait for my signal. When the time is right, I will send someone to tell him..."

"Thank you, old ancestor, for saving the siege, my son will tell Mr. Xu..."

After Qin Deshun sent the little eunuch away, he ordered someone to call Wang De over.

"Wang De, how is your highness feeling today?"

Wang De reminded aggrievedly when he heard the words.

"Godfather, my son has changed his name, his name is now Wang Zhi..."

Qin Deshun waved his hands nonchalantly.

"Come on, don't pretend to be wronged here, isn't it just a name, what's the big deal?"

"Don't say that the master is just letting us die, even if the master wants us to die, we can't hesitate at all!"

"Otherwise it is disloyal!"

Upon hearing this, Wang De bowed respectfully.

"Thank you godfather for teaching me, my son understands..."

"Returning to godfather, the emperor's grandson has been in a bad mood for the past few days, staring at Hope School all day long, thinking of ways to toss those princes who don't want to surrender, even Zhu Yunxi is now being punished by him to copy books , If you don’t copy [-] words a day, you will type on the board!”

"Before dawn, I ordered people to wake them up and go to the playground to run laps. If they didn't run a certain number of laps, they wouldn't even have breakfast!"

Hearing this, Qin Deshun said, "Smack it, hit it."

"This can't be entirely blamed on the grandson of the emperor, some people are really outrageous..."

"If you're like this, go find the grandson of the emperor and tell him that the emperor is in a bad mood and ask him to come over and coax him!"

Wang De was puzzled when he heard this.

"Godfather, can this work?"

"According to my son, we might as well let the emperor get angry..."

Qin Deshun rolled his eyes when he heard this, and then patted Wang De's head with a smile all over his face.

"Good son, you are more ruthless than us in doing things!"

"Row!"

"Just do as you said, don't tell the emperor's grandson first, wait until the emperor has vented his anger!"

"But you have to take it easy. The emperor doesn't care when he gets angry. If he really punishes a certain prince, he might blame the emperor's grandson afterwards..."

Wang De smiled happily upon hearing this.

"It's up to the godfather to keep an eye on it. When the godfather sees something bad, he sends someone to send a letter to his son, and the son immediately brings the emperor grandson over to put out the fire, hehehe..."

Qin Deshun wanted to give some instructions at first, but unexpectedly, Lao Zhu roared angrily.Qin Deshun didn't dare to neglect, so he could only leave Wang De behind and hurried into the hall.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

"Send someone to find out who is playing tricks outside!"

"No matter who is involved, they must be arrested first!"

"Ugh……"

Qin Deshun agreed, but did not move at all, and asked tentatively.

"Dare to ask the emperor, which group of people will be used to investigate?"

Old Zhu roared angrily when he heard this.

"We asked you to investigate, of course with your own hands!"

What Qin Deshun wanted was this sentence. Although he had a group of people under him, the name was not right and the word was not right after all, so he dared not use it at all many times.

Coupled with the fact that Jin Yiwei was in front, his men could only crouch in the dark.

"promise!"

"Look, my lord, this slave will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom!"

Just when Qin Deshun was about to activate his own troops, Lao Zhu stopped him again.

"slow!"

"Deploy hundreds of people from Habayashi Guard to assist!"

"what?"

"Oh...Okay, servant girl will do it now!"

Qin Deshun promised well, but felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

The emperor suddenly involved Habayashi Wei, this is because he doesn't trust him!
Zhu Xi and others watched the bustle on the city gate for a while, and when they saw Zhu Yunqi entering the palace, they came down from the city wall.

However, as soon as they walked down the steps, they were stopped by a group of people with faces.

"I'm running a business in the East Factory, please help me, my lords!"

"East Factory?"

Zhu Xun, Zhu Xun and others were immediately dumbfounded when they heard the words, thinking when did Daming have an extra Dongchang?

In the end, Zhu Di reacted quickly, suddenly thought of something, and asked tentatively.

"Are you from Eunuch Qin?"

When Dongchang's fan heard this, a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

Their Dongchang was just established, and they didn't have the name of Dongchang before they went out. Why did His Highness King Yan guess the master behind them all of a sudden?

"If you go back to His Royal Highness King Yan, the lower ranks are indeed under the orders of Eunuch Qin!"

"However, Eunuch Qin is loyal to His Majesty, and his humble rank is also to run errands for His Majesty. Please cooperate with all princes!"

Zhu Di nodded his head to express his understanding, and the other feudal lords were not surprised when they heard this.

After all, it has long been a well-known secret that Jin Yiwei and the emperor's grandson wear a pair of pants.

If the old emperor didn't want to be ostracized by the emperor's grandson, he could only form a secret team again.

It's just that they never imagined that instead of torturing Zhu Yunxi's grandson, the old man's secret team would target their own sons instead.

When all the vassal kings were taken away by Dongchang's Fanzi, Zhu Yunqi, who had just entered the palace gate, was also "surrounded" by several young eunuchs and went to the Supervisor of Rites to be interrogated by Qin Deshun himself.

His Majesty the Emperor made it very clear that no matter who is involved, they must be arrested first!

Qin Deshun looked at Zhu Yunwen who was trembling outside the door, and thought with regret that Dongchang was still too shabby, without even a prison of his own, so he could only live in this warehouse on the east side of the palace...
