King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 233
While Zhu Jinghong chatted happily with the generals, the emperor of Qianqing Palace also paid attention to Wuying Hall.

On the reclining chair under the corridor of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xianming put down the scroll, and said slowly: "That is to say... this kid still has the mind to brag to Niu Jizong and the others in the Hall of Martial Heroes?"

Dai Quan hooked his waist and replied cautiously: "The Thirteenth Master said with joy, it seems that he doesn't care about the assassination!"

Zhu Xianming basically knew what happened when Zhu Jinghong left the palace and arrived at Prince Rui's mansion today.

The oolong incident of "assassination" has naturally become an important situation, and Dongchang has launched a special investigation for it.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious if he dared to attack his own son, and now he naturally wanted to intervene in person.

Zhu Xianming said coldly: "This bastard has already had troubles in Jinling, and if he is not vigilant now, I think he will have troubles sooner or later!"

At this moment, a eunuch rushed in from outside the Qianqing Gate. It was Wang Qing, the head of the East Factory.

"Your Majesty, my servant!" Wang Qing knelt under the imperial steps with a look of extreme fear.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Dai Quan turned around cautiously and asked, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"Back to Eunuch, after the servant arrived at the Qianhu Office in Nancheng, the prisoner locked in the Jinyi Guard... bit his tongue and committed suicide!"

After saying this, Wang Qing kowtowed his head to the ground again, for fear that his words would arouse the emperor's anger.

Turning his head and glancing at Wang Qing on the ground, Zhu Xianming said coldly, "Dead? What a coincidence, who is Jin Yiwei interrogating?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Master appointed Li Wenzhao, deputy Qianhu of the Nanqianhu Office, to interrogate. Later, the Fusi of Beizhen learned about the case, and he deeply felt that the case was serious and sent someone to interrogate it!"

Wang Qing said these words in one breath, it can be seen that he knew that the emperor was going to ask about this matter, so he prepared the belly draft in advance.

"Beizhen Fusi sent someone? Who sent them?"

"Commander Zhang Gan!"

Hearing the name Zhang Gan, Zhu Xianming thought of his eldest son, the sixth son flirting with this guy.

Could this matter still have something to do with Lao Liu?
Thinking of this, Zhu Xianming became more and more disturbed, so that he didn't dare to think deeply.

"Jinyiwei don't interfere in this matter, let your East Factory investigate, and keep a low profile!"

"The slave leads the order!"

It was rare that Zhu Xianming didn't lose his temper, which made Dai Quan and his two feel more at ease, and immediately asked for an order to go to work.

When the two retreated, Zhu Xianming threw the books in his hands aside, and said in a sullen voice, "Go...call the old thirteen over!"

"Yes!"

Outside the Hall of Martial Heroes, Zhu Jinghong talked eloquently, and was really surprised by all the senior generals present.

They didn't expect that the thirteenth master had so many whimsical ideas. Although it seemed a bit unconstrained, it actually made sense after thinking about it.

Of course, what shocked them the most was the "future war" described by Zhu Jinghong.

The guns are like a forest, the bullets are like rain, and the fighting is shocking...

The Ming Dynasty is gradually entering the era of hot weapons. Although they are surprised by Zhu Jinghong's description, they also generally know that this is the future trend.

"Seniors, you need to practice horseback riding and archery, but in the future it will be the world of guns and guns. You should think about how to fight the battle!"

"What I practiced in Shanglinyuan is the result of my thinking about the future war. There are still many shortcomings in it, and I have to rely on you to improve it!"

Everyone showed deep thought, and the idea of ​​"future war" appeared in their minds for the first time.

Just listen to Niu Jizong sighing: "Predict the enemy first, this is the real anticipating the enemy first!"

When Zhu Jinghong wanted to make a high-level speech, an eunuch ran to him quickly.

"Master Thirteen, the lord calls you to see him!"

Zhu Jinghong became nervous for a moment and asked, "Now?"

"It's now, Lord Thirteen, please!"

"it is good!"

Swallowing his saliva, Zhu Jinghong said to the generals: "Everyone... I will come as soon as I go!"

At this time, someone half-jokingly said, "Master Thirteen, take care!"

So Zhu Jinghong turned and left, and followed the eunuch all the way to Qianqing Palace, where the emperor was sitting on a chair reading a book.

Coming to the porch with his head down, Zhu Jinghong said cautiously, "Father...do you have something to do with your son?"

"You were assassinated when you left the palace today, so you don't plan to explain to me?"

"Father, the assassin was arrested on the spot, and my son has been investigated by Jin Yiwei!"

"Now that Grandpa's birthday is coming up, it's not good to make a big mess, so my son didn't say anything!"

Hearing that Zhu Jinghong was thoughtful, Zhu Xianming was really surprised.

"It's good that you understand, I have ordered Dongchang to investigate this matter, so don't worry about it anymore!" Zhu Xianming said calmly.

"Yes!"

"Lao Liu invites you to be a guest, did you send a message today?"

"Yes!"

"You went directly after you were invited?"

"Yes!"

"From Donghuamen to Donganmen out of the palace?"

"Yes!"

Why is the old man asking all nonsense?Zhu Jinghong couldn't figure it out for a while.

How could he have imagined that Zhu Xianming, like Zhu Jingyuan, was wondering if the prince's people were playing tricks.

The East Palace is between Donghuamen and Donganmen, so they can detect Zhu Jinghong's travel in time, and at the same time arrange manpower to "assassinate" in advance.

Of course, while doubting the crown prince, Zhu Xianming also couldn't trust the sixth child, who would have killed the prisoner as soon as Beizhen Fusi intervened.

Thinking of these, Zhu Xianming only felt sad, and finally he could only sigh.

Looking at the honest youngest son, Zhu Xianming said earnestly: "You boy, give me some care, and you must be more careful when you go out of the palace in the future. If something happens, don't your mother worry to death?"

It was rare for the old man to have a good face, so Zhu Jinghong smiled and said: "Father... don't worry, my son is the one who cherishes his life the most!"

"Today the Hall of Martial Arts gave a banquet, and all the people who came here were aliens. Your fourth brother has a weak temper, so you have to help him!"

Zhu Jinghong was really surprised that the emperor said such a thing.

This also fully shows that the emperor recognized his ability, which shows that Zhu Jinghong's efforts were not in vain.

"Father, don't worry, if anyone dares to make mistakes, my son will crush his eggs!"

This is called shining with some sunshine, and it was obviously done by Zhu Jinghong on purpose, in order not to let the old man think too highly of himself.

He just wants to develop wretchedly and enjoy the double win-win between the prince and Prince Rui, and he doesn't want to fight with these two for the time being.

Hearing Zhu Jinghong's words, the emperor's face suddenly turned ugly.

"roll!"

"Yes... my son is leaving!"

After saying that, Zhu Jinghong bowed his waist and retreated, while Zhu Xianming withdrew his stern expression, and frowned again, thinking hard.

Today's assassination incident, if the two sons were really playing tricks... Thinking of this, he only felt heartbroken.

But what he was even more afraid of was that the Queen would know about this matter.

The queen has always been in poor health, and she must be sad and disappointed when she learns that at this time, it is very possible that she will not be able to recover from illness.

"What a crime!" Zhu Xianming said with emotion in his heart.

He himself has no right to blame his two sons, because what he did back then was even more inhuman, and it could even be said that he was devoid of conscience.

But then again, this "assassination" incident was an oolong in essence, but with the death of two criminals, it can no longer be explained clearly.

At this moment, outside the Donghua Gate, Dai Quan, the governor of the East Factory, stood at the gate of the East Factory, looking coldly at Li Qingxiang, the commander of the Fusi of Beizhen, and the others.

"The lord has said that this matter will be investigated by Dongchang. If your people are interrogated at that time, don't push back!"

The one who spoke was Wang Qing, the eunuch in charge. He failed to bring the prisoner back alive today, which made him lose his impression in front of the emperor. Wang Qing naturally didn't like Jinyiwei's people.

Li Qingxiang, the commander, also had a bad face, but now that the people in the East Factory had received the order, he couldn't refute anything.
