People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Zhu Yuanzhang was confused for a moment, turned around and ran outside.

The telescope in his hand fell to the ground.

Zhu Biao didn't know why, but when he heard Lao Zhu's words, he quickly picked up the telescope in his hand.

He looked in the direction of Zhang Yi, only to see Zhang Yi lying in a pool of blood.

Zhu Biao was also shocked.

Could it be that Zhang Yi was really driven to despair and committed suicide?

Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on directing this scene, but in fact everything was just an act.

Including Zhu Biao himself, when he was called out by the emperor, he realized that Lao Zhu had used his name. At the same time, Lao Zhu also told Zhu Biao why he suspected Zhang Yi?

Zhu Biao understood Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts. He couldn't handle Hu Weiyong's case and was suspicious of everyone.

But in the case of Zhang Yi, Lao Zhu was repeatedly torn between suspicion and trust in Zhang Yi.

As an emperor, he must treat people with hatred and eliminate any threats in advance.

But these tests made by Zhu Yuanzhang, in Zhu Biao's opinion, meant that the emperor did not actually want to kill Zhang Yi.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

Zhang Yi can be regarded as the one Lao Zhu has seen since childhood. He is not a son, but he is better than a son.

Behind these childish actions is actually Zhu Yuanzhang's unwillingness.

Even if he was really afraid of Zhang Yi, he still wanted to give him a reason to convince him.

But if Zhang Yi is really dead...

Zhu Biao didn't even think about it and ran out directly with the emperor.

On the street, Jin Yiwei and other soldiers were still cooperating with the emperor in acting.

There seemed to be a lot of people in the situation, but everyone tacitly agreed not to enter the courtyard where Zhang Yi was hiding.

Zhou Tong was also performing hard on the street. He looked at the yard where Zhang Yi was with worried eyes from time to time, with a nervous expression.

If he didn't know why Lao Zhu wanted to move Zhang Yi at the beginning, he could roughly guess it after he carried out the emperor's order.

The escape tunnels that should not appear are Zhu Yuanzhang's knot in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang kept testing Zhang Yi, just to see if he knew those tunnels?

Just like in the courtyard where Zhang Yi appeared this time, there was a tunnel that could lead directly out of the city.

If Zhang Yi walked in, it would be equivalent to walking into the gate of hell, and no one could save him.

But if Zhang Yi doesn't leave, how will this matter end?

"Step aside……,

Let me go in and save people..."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly appeared on the street, walking like a dragon and a tiger, with a gloomy face.

Those around him also advised him to take care of his dragon body and not push him away.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhou Tong, he roared and asked him to save people.

save people?

Zhou Tong was stunned, then thought of something, and shouted angrily:

"Go in, go in..."

Now is no longer the time for acting, saving people is more important.

A group of people kicked open the door and filed in.

Zhang Yi was holding a dagger in his hand, which had already been inserted into his body.

He was also unconscious.

"Rescue!"

Zhu Yuanzhang became anxious and roared at the people behind him.

"We'll send someone to find the imperial doctor right away!"

"Trash, stop the bleeding first!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's roar made everyone present wake up.

They were in a hurry and began to treat Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi was quickly carried away, while Lao Zhu stayed where he was.

At this time, Zhu Biao, who was panting, rushed to Lao Zhu's side.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, walked into an inconspicuous corner of the yard, and silently opened the entrance to the tunnel.

"Father, can you trust the Zhang family brother now?"

Zhu Biao's words were not blaming, but they hurt his heart. Lao Zhu took a deep breath, but did not answer Zhu Biao's question.

The father and son stood in the yard, unable to calm down for a long time.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to leave and went to the place where Zhang Yi lived.

Zhang Yi was placed in a nearby house.

The imperial doctor who was called over temporarily examined Zhang Yi's body.

Zhang Yi was unconscious. After the imperial doctor had bandaged his wound, he happened to see Zhu Yuanzhang come in.

"How is he?"

"Your Majesty, there is no danger to life!"

Lao Zhu relaxed slightly after listening to the imperial doctor's words.

"You go out!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the imperial doctor to go out and walked into the room. Zhu Biao wanted to follow him, but Lao Zhu waved his hand and asked him to leave.

The latter understood the emperor's intention and closed the door from the outside.

"Don't blame me, there are many things that I can't control myself!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Yi and said silently.

"As the emperor, I have the responsibility to eliminate any trouble for my descendants of the Zhu family?

Although I trust you, I can't completely trust you..."

Lao Zhu talked to himself, talking from beginning to end.

Suddenly, he heard a sigh.

Zhu Yuanzhang's hair suddenly burst and he wanted to take a step back.

But he found that the blade on his neck was cold.

"You didn't faint...

No, your suicide is fake..."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhang Yi with clear eyes, but his face became very ugly.

"Otherwise, His Majesty's game will not be broken!"

Zhang Yi pointed to his wound and said, "Really, but I'm good at anatomy, so I didn't hit any vital points..."

Zhang Yi's tone was very calm, but the profound meaning in it made Zhu Yuanzhang feel cold all over.

He had been plotting against Zhang Yi, and it wasn't until he faced him as an enemy for the first time that he felt Zhang Yi's terror.

Zhang Yi took back the knife in his hand, but put it in his hand to play with.

Lao Zhu didn't dare to move. He had seen Zhang Yi's flying knife skills.

In such a short distance, even the musket in his arms had no chance to be taken out.

They are too familiar with each other, and neither Lao Zhu nor Zhang Yi will do such useless things.

"How did you see it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhang Yi calmly, Zhang Yi shrugged and said:

"You shouldn't let Lao Mo fool me. He is not good at acting. What's more, he has been with me for so many years. I can see through it at a glance whether he is lying...

I'm just waiting to see what your Majesty's reason is for doing this.

I didn’t understand until I mentioned those tunnels!

Your Majesty must have had trouble sleeping and eating because of those tunnels in recent years, right?

Pindao wonders, why don't you just knock down the palace and rebuild it? "

Zhang Yi's tone was sarcastic.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry. No one had spoken to him like this for many years since he became emperor.

The contempt in Zhang Yi's words made Lao Zhu very uncomfortable.

From the day he met Zhang Yi, the child regarded him as an elder and always respected him.

But his own actions tore apart the relationship between Zhang Yi and him with his own hands, and the child completely showed his pride.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood that he had always wanted to control Zhang Yi and be wary of Zhang Yi.

It's because he understands that Zhang Yi will not be loyal to him in the end. He is a person who will only work hard for the ideal country in his heart. In the direction of their efforts, they happen to be walking together for a while.

But now, it seems that it's time to part ways.

Lao Zhu can accept parting ways, but the way should not be like this.

Zhang Yi's indifference and contempt challenged the most fragile thing in his heart.

Zhang Yi had a clear view of Zhu Yuanzhang's mentality, but didn't say anything more?

History books and opera stories have given this emperor too much aura, but who would have thought that no matter how great a person he is, he may not be able to escape the influence of his original family.

Some of Lao Zhu's shortcomings will accompany him throughout his life.

"I should have pretended to be asleep and not uncovered His Majesty's plan. Maybe when I woke up, Your Majesty would have cleared my name!

This is the script your Majesty arranged for me, but today I don’t want to act according to your Majesty’s script.

That Uncle Huang who was willing to listen to my bragging has finally become a stranger. "

"Then how are you doing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils shrank, and Zhang Yi's words meant that he had completely broken up with him.

What is this kid going to do?

Does he want to...

"Since Your Majesty always thinks that I want to harm you, I might as well just follow His Majesty's wishes..."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he held the knife in his hand tightly.

"Zhang Yi, don't..."

Suddenly, the door outside was kicked open.

Zhu Biao, Zhou Tong and other Jin Yiwei broke in from the outside.

Zhang Yi was instantly surrounded by crossbows and guns, but he was not afraid.

Zhu Biao shouted:

"Brother Zhang, don't be impulsive..."

He never imagined that Zhang Yi could be so strong.

After knowing that he had been tricked by Zhu Yuanzhang, he actually chose to overturn the table.

Zhang Yi smiled and said nothing, while Lao Zhu looked heavy.

However, they did not dare to rush forward without Zhang Yi's approval.

Zhou Tong and Zhu Biao both knew Zhang Yi's skills.

It remains to be determined whether this national master is a god, but he is definitely a martial arts master.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly:

"You guys exit the courtyard..."

Zhou Tong and others hesitated, but seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, they all left the courtyard.

What happened in the yard was no longer known to the public.

When Zhu Biao and the others were thinking of a solution, suddenly, flames burst out of the yard.

The flame was so big that it stunned everyone as soon as it appeared.

"Save the Emperor..."

Zhou Tong shouted, and everyone rushed to push the door open. Only to find that they had been locked. They quickly climbed over the wall, but were forced back by the flames.

"Brother of the Zhang family, father..."

Zhang Yi's fierce temper caught Zhu Biao off guard.

If the emperor really died here this time, it would be no less than the sky falling for Ming Dynasty.

He yelled at the top of his lungs:

"Come for me, I must rescue His Majesty..."

The noise outside did not disturb Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Yi who were in the sea of ​​fire. Old Zhu looked at the surrounding flames and said lightly:

"That day in Wuying Palace, you saved me from the sea of ​​fire. Today, the flames ended my life. It can be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect...

Forget it, I admit it..."

He took a deep breath, but had an expression of resignation.

"You are so old, but you are still so childish..."

Zhang Yi's words raised Zhu Yuanzhang's blood pressure.

Ever since the king and his ministers recognized each other, the child with the venomous tongue and the one who made him jump with anger has returned again.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Yi angrily. If this guy wants to kill someone, he will kill someone. Why humiliate him?

After more than ten years of military service and sixteen years of being emperor, in the end he was called naive?

Zhang Yi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance and laughed.

"If it were anyone else, Pindao would be happy with his grudges.

But Uncle Huang, you should go back and be your emperor..."

He supported Lao Zhu and kicked him in the butt without paying attention.

Zhang Yi used his skill to kick Lao Zhu out of the room.

"What are you...?"

Although there were flames in the yard, they were not serious.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Yi who stayed in the room, and seemed to understand something?

Ever since Zhang Yi broke up with him, he had no intention of surviving...

In other words, when he walks out of that yard alive, his future may be even more tragic.

"The poor Taoist is not a human being, so he should ride on the wind..."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, a beam in the room collapsed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly tightened.

"His Majesty……"

The Jin Yiwei outside finally opened the door to the courtyard and saw Lao Zhu facing the flames alone.

When they came in, a strong wind swept over the flames, and the fireworks soared into the sky.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared blankly as his men tried their best to pull him out of the yard.

"Save people, if something happens to the Imperial Master, I will ask you..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were filled with guilt, and he suddenly became furious.

Zhou Tong and others were stunned. The emperor wanted to save someone who assassinated him?

Since it was the emperor's order, everyone rushed towards the sea of ​​fire.

Thousands of people, armed with water, rushed towards the burning yard.

Unfortunately, the fire was too strong, and by the time the fire was put out, it was already dark.

Lao Zhu just sat there and refused to leave.

Wait for Zhou Tong and others to come back with orders.

"Where are the people..."

He looked at the yard that had turned into ashes, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Tong said slightly awkwardly:

"Your Majesty, no one..."

"no one?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He immediately stood up and asked Zhou Tong to take him to the ruins.

On the ruins, Lao Zhu was silent for a long time.

What happened at Wuying Palace last time came to mind again.

Zhang Yi saved him last time. This time he should have killed himself, but he still chose to push himself out.

Zhang Yi has a very strong character, and he used this method to tell himself that he didn't bother to kill him.

Lao Zhu felt ashamed and uneasy when he recalled how he kicked him out.

"Zhenzhen Zhang, he can't be a real god...

How could a living person die without seeing his body? "

Everyone was looking for Zhang Yi's body, but couldn't find it. Some Jin Yiwei began to murmur in their hearts.

Although Zhang Yi has been illiterate for sixteen years, the concept of ghosts and gods is still deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"I will go with Chengfeng and not be a human being..."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Zhang Yi's words when parting and fell into deep sadness.

He may not admit it with his mouth, but he feels very sad in his heart.

Walking on the ruins, the aura exuding from Lao Zhu's body made people unable to help but stay away from him.

Only Zhu Biao would follow the emperor step by step and silently accompany him.

"Not right!"

Lao Zhu walked halfway and turned around suddenly, startling Zhu Biao.

"Father, what's wrong?"

Zhu Biao asked Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a strange look on his face:

"Tell me, is that kid not dead? He has actually run away?"

Zhu Biao: ...

Based on their understanding of Zhang Yi, this is not impossible.

That kid is very skilled in martial arts, so it's possible that he could take advantage of the opportunity and run away.

And the probability is not small.

Others regard Zhang Yi as a god, but Lao Zhu only regards him as a naughty child.

Zhang Yishi and the others watched him grow up. He may have the ability to predict the future, but he is not a god. Doesn't Lao Zhu know that?

The father and son looked at each other, and immediately, Lao Zhu's face turned red.

He originally felt very guilty because of Zhang Yi's death, but after discovering that this kid had escaped, Lao Zhu's anger returned.

"He ran away, where could he go?

Even if the city gate is not opened, you can't leave here? "

Zhu Biao muttered, and Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have an idea. He pushed Zhu Biao away and went out quickly.

At this time, what did His Highness also realize?

He followed Zhu Yuanzhang and immediately walked out.

"Your Majesty, Prince..."

The emperor and the prince were obsessed and headed towards a certain place. Zhou Tong and other Jinyi guards who were searching quickly followed them.

The servility on the emperor's face had not faded, and they did not dare to stop him.

Fortunately, the place where Lao Zhu went was not too far away.

Zhou Tong and others are also very familiar with the place where they surrounded Zhang Yi just now, the courtyard where Hu Weiyong left the tunnel.

This was originally a game set up by Lao Zhu for Zhang Yi.

If Zhang Yi really used this tunnel to leave, he would be caught in a trap. However, as Zhang Yi committed suicide, the Jin Yiwei's attention was immediately focused here, and the courtyard naturally lost its guards.

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped into the courtyard, looked at the tunnel, and remained silent.

"Father, do you think he has left here?"

Zhu Biao stood next to Lao Zhu and asked in a low voice. Zhu Yuanzhang was not sure either.

He let people enter the tunnel to see the scenery over there.

In order not to alert others, Lao Zhu did not touch these tunnels.

After receiving the order, the Jin Yiwei jumped down one after another.

After waiting for a while, someone came up and told Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, someone walked by and we found this in the grass..."

Jin Yiwei handed over their discovery to Zhu Yuanzhang. There was a broken and bloody cloth in the grass.

The fabric was familiar to Zhu Yuanzhang. It was Zhang Yi's Taoist robe.

"This bastard!"

The moment Lao Zhu saw the Taoist robe, his resentment broke out, but his tone was much more relaxed.

"Your Majesty, look...should we go after him?"

Everyone around the emperor could see the complicated emotions between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Yi.

Lao Zhu didn't really want to kill Zhang Yi, and even had an emotional breakdown after learning that he was dead.

However, Zhou Tong's low-pitched temptation was rejected by Lao Zhu:

"Catch, why not arrest?

You must use all your means to bring this boy back to me..."

Lao Zhu and the cat with fried hair were roaring somewhere.

Zhou Tong and others broke into cold sweat when they heard this.

He quickly asked his brothers to leave the city through the tunnel.

Zhu Yuanzhang was worried and added:

"Catch them alive..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhou Tong's body trembled slightly when he heard the emperor's special instructions.

He couldn't help laughing, but he tried hard to hold it back and shouted loudly:

"Have you heard His Majesty's instructions? You must capture them alive..."

"Yes, my lord!"

The other Jin Yiwei heard Zhou Tong's hint and responded loudly.

Lao Zhu was almost furious. There were probably many people in Jinyiwei who had a good relationship with Zhang Yi.

He was fuming and sulking on the side, Zhu Biao smiled.

"Father, don't be surprised. After all, they have watched the younger brothers of the Zhang family grow up..."

Zhang Yi has been living under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei since he was seven years old.

Many old people in Jinyiwei have watched Zhang Yi grow up.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the emotions of these people. They were also the fathers who accompanied Zhang Yi for sixteen years.

Maybe they don't reveal their emotions because of their responsibilities, but when the situation changes, their emotions cannot be hidden from others.

"These bastards!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, but did not continue to say anything?

Although Zhang Yi ran away, he couldn't run far.

He turned back to the palace and waited for the royal guards to escort him back. He wanted to take revenge.

Zhu Yuanzhang covered his butt, and the pain in his butt was still very clear.

Just as Lao Zhu was looking forward to it, Jin Yiwei brought back the news that Zhang Yi disappeared out of thin air.

……

"Master!"

Somewhere in Shuntian Mansion, Yao Guangxiao opened the door. (End of chapter)
