King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 55

Knowing that Zhu Jinghong was coming, Liu Yanqing, the commander of the Xiaoling Guard, immediately came out to greet him, and it was his turn to be the commander of the yamen today.

Before Zhu Jinghong had passed the Jinshui Bridge, he met Liu Yanqing and others who were oncoming.

"Sir Liu Yanqing, see the Thirteenth Master!"

"Ok!"

"Last night, Taizu had a dream. Today I came to pay a visit. You don't have to be polite, just do what you want!" Zhu Jinghong came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"This……"

"Grandfather Tuomeng was very angry, and he even scolded me in the dream. I went in and kowtowed to admit my mistake... Don't you feel relieved!" Zhu Jinghong asked back.

Since the Japanese pirates fled to Xiaoling last time, the emperor killed many officers, among them was the commander of the Xiaoling Guard, Tongzhi.

This greatly frightened the Xiaoling Guards, so they strengthened their patrols as much as possible to ensure that no accidents would happen again.

Generally speaking, except for the eunuchs guarding the tomb inside, outsiders are basically not allowed to enter, and the same is true for Xiaoling guards.

"Master Thirteen, why didn't the Crown Prince come?" Liu Yanqing asked boldly.

"What? I'm not a descendant of the Zhu family, so I can't go in?" Zhu Jinghong asked with a downcast face.

"I don't mean that..."

"baffling……"

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong walked straight in, Liu Yanqing waved away the group of people under his command, and followed after gritted his teeth.

"Master Thirteen, I'm here to guide you!"

Hearing the voice behind him, Zhu Jinghong just wanted to curse in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about Liu Yanqing.

It's reasonable for someone to lead you the way. If Zhu Jinghong ordered him to leave again, it would be too deliberate.

"Then lead the way!" In desperation, Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to admit it.

It seems that setting fire is impossible, he can only find another way.

After walking a few hundred meters along the royal road, the two entered the main entrance of the cemetery.

The cemetery was very quiet. Zhu Jinghong looked around the situation, but he was thinking about what to do.

Passing over the stele pavilion of divine merit and virtue, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but said, "What about Liu Qian, there are students gathering and making noise outside the palace, do you know?"

"I have heard a little bit about it!" Liu Yanqing replied cautiously.

It is rare for students to gather, and now it has spread in Yingtian City, and Liu Yanqing certainly knows it.

Zhu Jinghong then asked: "You have heard it all, you said that the Taizu is in the spirit of heaven, did you also hear it?"

"This... I dare not speak nonsense!"

Zhu Jinghong smiled and didn't continue talking, he had already thought of a way.

The two remained silent for a while, and walked all the way to the depths of the cemetery, and soon came to the outside of the Xiangdian, where Zhu Yuanzhang's god was enshrined.

When they first arrived in Yingtian, the two brothers Zhu Jinghong had come to worship, so they were no strangers at this moment.

Dozens of eunuchs are in charge of cleaning and guarding. The inside and outside of Xiangdian are clean and tidy, and the incense inside has never been cut off.

Before entering the hall, Zhu Jinghong straightened his clothes, and said: "Liu Qianshi, come in with me!"

Originally, they were only going to be sent outside the main hall, but at this time Zhu Jinghong let him in together, which caught Liu Yanqing by surprise.

"Master Thirteen, how can I enter the important place of the hall!" Liu Yanqing was extremely frightened.

"Then wait outside the door!"

"Yes!" Liu Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief.

So Zhu Jinghong stepped into the main hall, and under the etiquette guidance of the priest, he began to pay homage to this ancestor of the Zhu family.

After the ceremony was over, Zhu Jinghong knelt on the mat and didn't intend to get up.

Everyone only thought that he was meditating, so they didn't take it seriously, but the next thing was right.

Ten minutes later, Zhu Jinghong was still kneeling on the spot, which surprised everyone.

But this is not an outrageous move, so everyone can only stay by and think of various ways to transfer time.

When everyone inside and outside the hall was flying for nine days, Zhu Jinghong suddenly straightened up and looked suspiciously to the left and right.

"Did you hear that?"

Hearing this sudden question, everyone felt even more confused. There was obviously no sound just now?

"Master Thirteen, what did you hear?" A eunuch asked.

Zhu Jinghong continued: "I heard... the voice of the great grandfather!"

Now everyone was even more surprised. They all looked at the seat of Taizu who was seated in the main hall, and saw the candles and fireworks flickering, and the surroundings were silent.

"Didn't you hear?"

"Master Thirteen, the slaves really didn't hear me!"

Seeing Zhu Jinghong standing straight up, he scolded angrily: "You idiots, you were all distracted just now, how could you listen to Taizu's holy voice with your heart!"

All the eunuchs were trembling and knelt on the ground. They couldn't bear the charge of neglecting the gods of Taizu.

At this time, Liu Yanqing who was outside the main hall couldn't bear to ask: "Master Thirteen, Grandfather... what did you say?"

Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice: "Grandfather said, it's too noisy outside!"

Liu Yanqing was silent for a while, he was sure he didn't hear Taizu's voice, so he guessed that Zhu Jinghong must have his own purpose in saying this.

However, Zhu Jinghong didn't ask him, but turned to look at several eunuchs, and asked in a stern tone: "Did you hear that?"

Frightened by him back and forth, several eunuchs dared to say that they didn't hear it, but they all kowtowed and replied that they did.

These people said they had heard it, and there would be witnesses, so Zhu Jinghong had to work hard to get Liu Yanqing to admit it.

"Didn't you hear about Liu Qian?"

"minister……"

To break a person's defenses, not only must the words be sharp enough, but also the momentum must be overwhelming, not giving the other party time to think.

Before Liu Yanqing could say another word, Zhu Jinghong said again: "Liu Qianshi, is this how you serve the great grandfather?"

"How many heads do you have to cut off the great grandfather for being so negligent?"

There are a few heads that can be chopped off, this is really not a joke, the dozens of heads that were chopped off before, are still dead.

"Master... ten thousand deaths!" Liu Yanqing kowtowed immediately.

Walking in front of Liu Yanqing, Zhu Jinghong asked sternly, "I'll ask you again, did you hear the voice of the great grandfather?"

In the face of a shameless prince who is likely to be ordered by the prince, Liu Yanqing still dares to insist on his own opinion.

"I heard it, the great grandfather said it was too noisy, those scholars outside are too noisy!"

Zhu Jinghong was very satisfied with this answer, and he said with an angry face: "Then, would you like to clean up the noise for the great grandfather?"

Sure enough, Liu Yanqing actually wanted to refuse, because he didn't want to get involved in these things.

But at this moment, Zhu Jinghong was intimidating, so he had no chance to shirk.

"Well, you go now!"

Kneeling on the spot, Liu Yanqing raised his head and asked, "Dare to ask the Thirteenth Master, what should I do?"

"Take your soldiers, go to the gate of the palace to expose the crimes committed by those students, and order them to leave immediately!"

Hearing that these people were only asked to leave, Liu Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "What if they don't leave?"

Zhu Jinghong turned around, looked at the tablet of the God Lord in front, and said in a deep voice: "Then we will work with Jin Yiwei and take the person directly!"

Liu Yanqing secretly scolded himself for talking too much, and just took the order to leave, why bother to ask this question.

"Aren't you going yet?"

"Yes... the minister will take someone there!"

Liu Yanqing left in a panic, but Zhu Jinghong did not leave in a hurry, but kowtowed to the god again.

"The unworthy descendant Zhu Jinghong, who failed to keep the great grandfather's peace, is really a crime of death, please calm down the great grandfather!"

Anyway, he took advantage of him today, so he should apologize sincerely.

They are all from their own ancestors, so they would not be blamed...Zhu Jinghong comforted himself in this way.

After getting up, Zhu Jinghong looked at the eunuchs on the left and right, and said: "The Taizu was disturbed today, you must remember clearly, if someone comes to ask questions in the future, don't make a mistake!"

"The servant understands!"
