Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 54 "Court"

Xu Da sighed: "How could it be possible? King Su has always been completely devoted to the Ming Dynasty. If you spread rumors like this, King Su will not be sad, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his cheek and sneered: "I will hide it from him."

This is so unbelievable. Not only were the rumors circulating in the capital not stopped by the emperor, but they were actually fanning the flames behind his back.

"The current Prince Su probably really thinks that the emperor is going to kill him."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said seriously: "This little guy Zhu Tuo is a talent, but he has a weird temper and is unruly. If I hadn't scared him, he might have ruined the whole country if he stayed in the capital for a while. Kyoto is turned upside down."

"King Su's innocence." Xu Da smiled.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "However, this is also an incentive. I have placed great hopes on him."

"Report to the emperor, Prince Su at the station will attend the morning court tomorrow."

"Oh," Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "What's the matter with that kid? Are your feet weak from fright, and you don't want to go to court?"

"King Su was neither humble nor overbearing, he accepted the imperial decree expressionlessly, and only asked about the morning court for a few hours."

"This kid is quite courageous."

Xu Da praised: "King Su is indeed brave and resourceful, and he is indeed the son of the king."

On the other side, inside the mansion of Duke Xin.

"Madam, it's Madam!" The maid at the door saw Tang Xin, wiped her eyes in disbelief, and then looked surprised.

"Ma'am, where are you, we are so anxious."

"Yes, Miss, these two adults haven't had a good sleep for a few days."

"Hurry up, go and inform the master and the mistress."

There was chaos in Duke Xin's mansion, and the servants rushed over to report it.

Tang He and Mrs. Hu walked in quickly. When they saw their daughter, Mrs. Hu immediately shouted loudly: "My dear daughter, where have you been these days? It makes my mother very anxious."

Tang Xin saw that both relatives had red eyes and nervous lips, and said with an apologetic expression: "Xin'er, both my father and mother are very worried."

Mrs. Hu held Tang Xin's hand, fearing that she would leave again, and said eagerly: "It would be great if you could come back. It would be great if you could come. Xin'er is starving to death these days. Don't forget that I can Not full."

After saying that, Mrs. Hu turned around and said to everyone: "Send Xin'er home quickly to recover from her injuries. In addition, ask the servants to prepare a pot of lotus seed soup. When Xin'er wakes up, she can be nursed back to health."

"Thank you, mother."

After the maid helped Tang Xin leave, Tang He frowned and said, "Miss, have you noticed that Xin'er is wearing a mink cloak, which is worth a lot of money."

Hearing this, Mrs. Hu stared, "So what?"You don't care about your child, all you care about is a mink coat, do you care?As a father, don’t you have any conscience? "

Tang He sighed and said, "Madam, Xin'er didn't have much money with her when she went out. Where did she get the money to buy this mink coat? You should quickly find out what's going on with Xin'er these days."

"That's fine." Mrs. Hu said after pondering for a moment.

When Tang Xin woke up, Mrs. Hu carefully brought the lotus leaf soup to the hospital bed, "Xin'er, this is newly made, drink some quickly."

"Thank you, mother." Tang Xin picked up a cup and took a sip gently.

Tang Xin saw Mrs. Hu's sick look. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. Her eyes were red and she burst into tears: "Mother, I really don't want to marry Prince Su. I really don't want to. I, I Even if I go, I won’t marry him.”

Mrs. Hu grabbed Tang Xin's hand and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you these days? Have you heard anything about King Su?"

Tang Xin shook his head, sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly: "After I left Yun Mansion, I didn't know anyone, so I kept walking north. In order not to be discovered, I put on men's clothes. These two days , I have used up all the money on me, and I am almost starving to death." Mrs. Hu looked worried when she heard this.

"Me, I met a young master on the way and asked him for some money. Unexpectedly, he actually lent me the money and invited me to have a meal. Because it was too cold, he gave me his cloak. ."

Mrs. Hu was anxious: "Xin'er, none of the men nowadays are good people. Don't let him fool you."

Tang Xin shook his head and whispered softly: "He is a good person. I can tell. He said that he went to the capital just to take care of his paraplegic father. Although his father treated him badly, he To be able to put aside his past grudges and go to the capital to take care of him shows that he has a very loyal heart."

If Lu Qing and Shi Ziliang were here, they would be astonished to hear the news.

In Tang Xin's eyes, the king, who had a bad temper and hit people easily, was a gentle and pleasant boy.

"Then what happened?"

"Then I talked to him and he said a lot of things I had never heard of. He seemed to know everything. I had never met such a strange person."

"Is he the child of an official?"

Tang Xin took a bite, shrank his head under the quilt, and whispered: "I don't know, he doesn't seem to be the one. I heard that he went out to work when he was 13 years old, and he only recently arrived in the capital."

"It's really amazing." Mother Hu couldn't help sighing, she looked at her daughter, and suddenly said: "Honey, are you in love with him?"

"Ah?" Tang Xin was stunned and blushed: "I don't know either."

Mrs. Hu held her daughter in her arms, "What is his name?"

"Forgot." Tang Xin shook his head.

"Where is he?"

"Inn." Wang Yao said.

Mrs. Hu stared at Tang Xin, and told Tang He what happened.

"This is terrible. How should I explain to the emperor? Is there someone else in Xin'er?"

"Tell me, you will only give the emperor an explanation!" Mrs. Hu pinched Tang He and said, "Xin'er's happiness is greater than your official position? Let me tell you, you are such a precious daughter, I I don’t want her to suffer.”

"Alas." Ye Futian sighed.

Tang He stroked his beard, thoughtfully.

"Do you think the person Xin'er met when she came here is reliable?"

"Even if it's unreliable, it's still better than that Su Wangqiang who was rumored to be a hot topic."

"Makes sense."

Tang He pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "I'm afraid it's hard to refuse His Majesty directly. Otherwise, let Xin'er go meet that Prince Su, and then think of an excuse to cancel the engagement."

"Okay." Wang Yao said.

"The same goes for the guy that Xin'er is interested in." Tang He sighed: "Go back to Prince Su and ask where this child came from. Even if the family's conditions are poor, if Xin'er likes him, we can help. "

Mrs. Hu sneered: "This is the style your father should have."

Early the next morning, Zhu Tuo proudly said to himself in the mirror: "Lu Qing, do you want this court dress?"

"Your Majesty is very handsome!" Lu Qing sincerely praised him, his eyes were red, and said: "Your Majesty, why don't we go back to Lingnan first, and I will accompany you back to your home. There are really not many people in Beijing who can stop me. !"
