Chapter 227: Qin King Zhu Ping passed away?
After coming out of the palace, Zhu Zhen did not go home. Instead, he asked his guards to drive him to the Xu family of the Duke of Wei.

Well, here he is again.

But the carriage stopped outside the door, and Zhu Zhen was not in a hurry to get out of the car, but looked confused and depressed.

Why are you here again?
He really has no persistence and bottom line of his own.

This time there was no need for Xu Miaojin to scold him, he had to scold himself.

But Zhu Xi did not deny it. In fact, he never denied that he had a good impression of Xu Miaojin.

The main reason why he was so entangled was that Mu Qiu had preconceptions, and it was really difficult for Li Jinglong to take on such a big job, so he didn't want Xu Meizi's pearl to become dusty.

That's right, he just doesn't want Xu Miaojin to betray her secretly, even to his younger brother Zhu Song?

No, Zhu Song is one year younger than him, and Mu Qiu is one year older than him.

Besides, Zhu Song is no good, and he is not worthy of Xu Meizi.

While thinking about the messy things, Zhu Xi straightened his python robe before getting out of the car.

Walking up the front steps, Zhu Xi patted the door.

When the door opened, Menyuan looked at Zhu Zhen helplessly and had to open the door for him obediently.

Menyuan is already used to it, and he knows that he can't stop him, so what else can he do?

Zhu Ming glanced sideways at the gate yard and saw that he was so open-minded today, so he took out a small piece of broken silver and rewarded him.

This was an unexpected surprise for Menyuan, so he quickly thanked him.

"Is Li Jinglong still in the house?" Zhu Zhen asked pretending to be casual.

His money is not that easy to get.

As a result, the gatekeeper was stunned and said, "Dong Cao Guo? He didn't come today."

not coming?By the way, I didn't see Li Jinglong's car outside the door.

Zhu Ming patted his head, turned around and left.

In the main courtyard, Xu Miaojin was about to go back to her small courtyard after paying homage to Xu Da. When she saw a red figure passing by in front of the door, she couldn't help but stamp her feet.

"How dare this bad guy run away after he's here? I'm really pissed off."

After Zhu Ming came out, he felt guilty for a while. His excuse was to stop Xu Miaojin from marrying Li Jinglong, but Li Jinglong was not here, so why did he come?
By the way, why didn't Li Jinglong come?Or is it that Sister Xu just said some angry words yesterday?

Zhu Ming was still wondering, but he didn't want to think about how much noise there was in the court this morning. Even if Xu Huizu had wanted to invite Li Jinglong before, he had no idea.

What's more, Li Jinglong is just a playboy and a fool, which doesn't mean he is a fool.

Li Jinglong said in his heart that the relationship between Xu Miaojin and the King of Dian was not clear. They still rode a horse into the city that day, and they knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had planned to promise Xu Miaojin to the King of Dian.

I don't dare to intervene casually, let alone the King of Dian is so tough this morning, who dares to provoke him?

He even dared to say the words of rebellion in front of the court, but His Majesty still didn't take it seriously. It's really exciting just thinking about it.

Thinking about the conflict between himself and this uncle Wang, it was too late for Li Jinglong to hide in Zhu Ming at this time, so how could he dare to get involved.

Back in the car, Zhu Zhen asked the guard to drive home quickly. If he delayed for a second, he would be worried that Xu Miaojin would know that he was coming.

In fact, Xu Miaojin had already seen him.

It's just that Xu Miaojin has the reserve of a girl, so she can't take the initiative to chase her out, right?

In this way, Zhu Zhen returned home in a false alarm.

Now he doesn't need to go to the Imperial College. Even if he wants to go, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't dare to let him go, and the Imperial College doesn't dare to teach him.

Who dares?Aren't you afraid of being whipped?

Another thing, if he continues to make trouble like this, what if the supervisors of the Imperial College imitate him?

This is simply a black sheep.

But it's a good thing for Zhu Zhen.

Back at the house, Zhu Zhen had someone prepare a large table of medicinal meals at noon, all of which were great tonics.

Because the imperial doctor Dai Sigong prepared these for Zhu Chu, Zhu Chu was very relieved, especially since Dai Sigong also brought several jars of medicinal wine from home today, which was very nourishing.

Although Dai Sigong's medicinal wine did not contain any "whip" from various animals, what Zhu Chu wanted was not to aphrodisiac, but to nourish qi and blood.

Then rely on these nourishing qi and blood to immerse your mind in practice, and the effect will be doubled.

In this way, Zhu Zhen began his leisurely life in the capital.

Now he can neither return to his fiefdom of Yunnan nor have anything to do. In a few days he will not even go to the morning court.

What else are you going for?He sprayed all the civil servants in the court, offending almost all the court officials except the generals.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Chu and those people were not willing to deal with him, and he was afraid that they would cause a deadly situation now, so he let him go.

Not to mention, even though he had nothing to do all day long, he was improving all the way in terms of spiritual practice. At the end of August, Zhu Chu was still sighing.

"Sure enough, although it is impossible to refine the so-called elixir, these medicinal materials are indeed effective. And ordinary people cannot take nourishment for many years, but I am different. I can transform the nourishing qi and blood into true qi. This speeds up my practice. You can get twice the result with half the effort.”

"If we keep going at the current rate, we may be able to break through to the next stage before the end of the year."

"And the next stage is the real Qi training. At that time, I can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world for my use. The speed of cultivation is far from what it is now."

Zhu Xi began to look forward to it.

If we look at the realm of martial arts, he is actually at the stage of transition from acquired to innate. Only when he can control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can he be a true innate master.

However, during the journey of cultivation, the innate masters in martial arts are just the beginning of cultivation and have just passed the threshold.

But how much time has this already taken him?
It can be seen that the practice is difficult.

"Speaking of which, tomorrow is September," Zhu Zhen sighed. Unknowingly, he had already been in Beijing for a month.

He entered the city on the last day of July, and today is the last day of August, which is exactly one month.

But the day of returning to the Yunnan fiefdom is still far away.

In fact, he often went to the palace to pay his respects to Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked more than once how long he would stay.

Zhu Yuanzhang's answer was intriguing. He always looked at Zhu Ming with a deep look on his face, and then said: "The end of the year is coming soon. Then call all your brothers back and let's have a good family reunion."

But it’s not yet September, and there are still three months until the end of the year.

Zhu Chu is convinced by his father.

Previously, he wanted to use Xu Miaojin's marriage to drag him down, and later he wanted to imprison himself by letting him go to the Imperial College. Now he just doesn't want to cover it up, right?
However, because Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday was in October and was coming soon, Zhu Zhen had to restrain his temper and thought about waiting until his father's birthday passed.

So Zhu Chu continued to live his life like a free and easy king, and before he knew it, it was the end of September.

On the first day of September, Zhu Zhen's tax system once again harvested 650 million resources, and the total resources reached 170 million.

By now, the first day of October, the total resources have reached 820 million.

In just two months, even if nothing was done, resources increased by 300 million yuan.

Do you still remember how many resources a big pineapple light machine gun costs?
Before, Zhu Chu needed to use up all his wealth to buy one and many bullets.

Now how much can he buy with just one month's resources?
According to the initial model of big pineapple, the resources are 50 per handful. How much can you buy for 300 million?
With such generous resources, if he didn't want to get closer to Xu Miaojin, he could have given Xu Miaojin many gifts.

Speaking of which, in the past two months or so, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a while because Zhu Miao had been deliberately avoiding Xu Miaojin.

Zhu Chu was also being watched, and he learned that Li Jinglong now knew how to avoid suspicion and did not dare to go to Xu Mansion again.

Consider him self-aware.

In addition, I don’t know who spread the news. In short, even other nobles and queens do not dare to approach the Xu family easily, which is good.

That's enough, let's leave it like that for now.

When he returns to Yunnan one day, he and Xu Miaojin will gradually become estranged and forget about each other.

Seeing the days passing like this, everything seems to have become dull, and many officials gradually stopped staring at Zhu Zhen, and the 'peace' of the past was restored.

But on this afternoon, someone suddenly came to the palace, and it was reported that Zhu Zhen entered the palace quickly.

"Ah? Didn't I just say hello this morning?" Zhu Ming was stunned. What did Lao Zhu suddenly ask him to do?

The relationship between their father and son is heating up rapidly. Mainly because Zhu Yuanzhang intends to bring the relationship closer to him, and with Zhu Ming's obedient cooperation, the two father and son are no longer as explosive and suspicious as they were at first.Especially Zhu Yu's greetings. Originally, he was too lazy to go, but Zhu Yuanzhang strongly requested it. You don't want to go to the morning court, and you don't want to greet me. Do you really think that we are dead?

Zhu Ming had no choice but to go to the palace to pay his respects every day after the morning court.

But why did he suddenly want to enter the palace at this time?
With some doubts, Zhu Zhen could only ask someone to put the carriage on and hurried to the palace.

It is said that Zhu Zhen has been in Beijing for a few months now, but his carriage is still the same as the original one. Originally, his level could carry a five-horse carriage, but it was only one level lower than the emperor's specification, which was drawn by five horses. luxury carriage.

But Zhu Zhen felt that it was too extravagant and meaningless, and since he couldn't call Mu Qiu to Yingtian, it was meaningless.

So it continued like this.

Driving the carriage, Zhu Zhen came all the way to the palace.

"His Royal Highness the Dian King is here. Come with us quickly to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit." The eunuch chief actually waited in front of the palace gate in person. When he saw Zhu Chu's carriage coming, he came up to him before the carriage stopped. .

Zhu Ming opened the door curtain and stuck his head out, frowning, and asked, "Did something big happen?"

He also felt that something must have happened.

The chief eunuch looked around.

Zhu Xin jumped out of the carriage with understanding and came to the front of the eunuch chief.

The chief eunuch then approached Zhu Ming and said in a low voice: "Oh, your highness, he is your highness the King of Qin."

King Qin?

Zhu Ming's heart moved: "Is it the second brother?"

King Qin Zhu Xi, Zhu Yuanzhang's second son, was born during the conquest years when Zhu Yuanzhang established his empire like Zhu Biao. He seemed to be only one year younger than Zhu Biao.

Since Zhu Biao is 24 years older than Zhu Xi, then Zhu Xiang is 23 years older than Zhu Xi.

"What happened to my second brother? Did he get into trouble again? By the way, he seemed to have wanted to come to the capital to celebrate my father's birthday before?" Zhu Zhen suddenly remembered this matter.

But the chief eunuch shook his head, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Your Highness, King Qin has passed away."

"What?" Zhu Zhen was shocked immediately.

Died, that is to say, King Zhu Peng of Qin is dead?
How can it be?

Zhu Xi is only in his 30s now, not even 40 yet, right?

Moreover, Zhu Xi had always been strong and healthy. I had never heard that he was sick. Why did he die suddenly?

"Hi, Your Majesty is still waiting for you. You will know when the time comes," the eunuch chief didn't dare to say any more and hurriedly pulled Zhu Chu's sleeve and rushed into the palace.

Originally, Zhu Zhen didn't like being pushed around by eunuchs. How could he behave like this?
But he couldn't care less at this time. Later, he surpassed the chief eunuch and rushed towards the side hall where he was already familiar with the road at a faster speed.

On the contrary, the chief eunuch couldn't keep up and shouted from behind: "Your Highness, please slow down, don't fall."

Zhu Zhen didn't care about this, he went straight to the door of the palace, opened the door and went in.

There was not only Zhu Yuanzhang in the hall, but also Xu Da and Zhu Yunwen.

The three of them looked at Zhu Zhen who was coming in a hurry.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about Zhu Chu's rudeness. Instead, he seemed to be relieved and suddenly cried out sadly: "Zhen'er, your second brother has passed away. He was fine, why did he die?"

Zhu Qi already knew the news, walked up to several people, and said, "What is going on? Why did the second brother die suddenly?"

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes in pain and was speechless.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is over 60 years old, it is a big blow to be suddenly sent to a black-haired man by a white-haired man.

Finally, Xu Da said: "Your Majesty had sent envoys to convey the decree to the vassal kings, hoping that the kings would arrive in Beijing at the end of the year and spend the New Year together. However, the envoys sent to Xi'an came back to report that King Qin had passed away due to illness."

Zhu Xi was canonized as King of Qin in the third year of Hongwu. In the eleventh year of Hongwu, he went to Xi'an to join the vassal state. Just two years ago, he was called to the capital for some mistakes and was reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, Prince Zhu Biao interceded and returned to the vassal state. land.

Who would have thought that only two years later, not only the prince Zhu Biao passed away, but also the second son.

It can be said that things are right and people are wrong.

Two lines of hot tears flowed from the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and he was already full of tears.

"This matter is not that simple. Zhu Ming was young and strong, why did he die suddenly?" Zhu Yuanzhang slowly opened his eyes, with a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.

It is conceivable that people are going to die again, and many people are still going to die.

As a result, even Xu Da said this time: "Indeed, I have never heard that King Qin was ill, but he suddenly claimed to have died of illness. Someone must go to investigate."

"Zhen'er," Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his hand to greet Zhu Zhu.

Zhu Ming had no choice but to walk over and let Zhu Yuanzhang hold his hand tightly.

Lao Zhu's hands were trembling a little, and he was holding on to Zhu Ji tightly, like a drowning man holding on to life-saving straws, and said in his mouth: "We must investigate strictly."

"Ah?" Zhu Zhen was dumbfounded. What do you mean?Don't you want me to investigate?

"Your Highness, Xi'an is very important," it was Xu Da who looked at Zhu Xi with doubts on his face and explained to him.

Xi'an is Chang'an, where the Tang Dynasty established its capital.

Even for Zhu Yuanzhang, Xi'an was of great significance, and he even planned to move the capital there. Unfortunately, Zhu Biao passed away suddenly, so Zhu Yuanzhang gave up the idea of ​​moving the capital.

Compared with Zhu Di moving the capital to Yanjing and claiming to be the emperor to guard the country, Zhu Di wanted to leave the political environment of Yingtian. At that time, after the Battle of Jingnan, Yingtian as the capital was almost owned by the orphans of Jingnan and Zhu Yunwen. Old minister.

Only by moving the capital to Yanjing would Zhu Di's territory be there.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is different. Once the capital is moved to Xi'an, although it will not be the emperor's defense, it will also be conducive to the Central Plains regime to actively compete with the northern nomads.

Xi'an can move northward and wave its weapons, which is the foundation for the Han people to look northward.

Moreover, Xi'an is located in the northwest. Even if there is no chaos in the northwest at this time, it is not stable.

"There was a rebellion by some people a few years ago, so we had to guard against it," Xu Da sighed.

Didn't Lan Yu go there to suppress the rebellion before?

Now that Lan Yu is dead, and Zhu Ping has passed away suddenly, we have to consider the stability issue there.

What's more, even if Xi'an is not adjacent to the grassland, it is where the Han people look to the north, and it is not far from the grassland.

That's why it was necessary to consecrate Qin King Zhu Fang to guard Xi'an. As the second son, Zhu Fang was once a vassal king that Zhu Yuanzhang valued very much.

It's a pity that he died anyway, and his death was inexplicable and sudden.

And not only did Zhu Ping die strangely, but his death also had huge knock-on effects.

So Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Qi to investigate, and he even asked Zhu Yunqi to go aside to fetch a long sword and give it to Zhu Qi.

"This is Shangfang's sword, Chu'er. You may encounter some difficulties when traveling to Xi'an. Holding this sword as if I were here in person, you can kill first and then report. No one can be killed. You are the imperial envoy, and you are in charge of all matters in Xi'an. Everything can be done cheaply," Zhu Yuanzhang personally handed the sword to Zhu Zhen.

Shang Fang's sword first came out of the Han Dynasty, and was called Shang Fang's horse-cutting sword. There is also a record in Zhu Yun's Biography in the Book of the Former Han Dynasty. Zhu Yun wrote to the emperor and said: "I originally gave Shang Fang the horse-cutting sword, and I used it to kill the traitor."

It was not until the Ming Dynasty that it was called Shangfang Sword, also called Shangfang Baojian. There is a saying that you should kill first and then play.

Even Liu Ji and Liu Bowen once said, "First grant Shang Fangjian, and then punish the traitors and looters according to the law."

But today, Zhu Yuanzhang gave his Shangfang sword to Zhu Zhen, and even said the words "I am here in person", which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang has murderous intentions.

This time Zhu Chu went to Xi'an and received supreme privileges. Everything could be done cheaply, and everyone could kill first and tell later.

"But you have to be careful, Biao'er. If this is really a conspiracy, I'm afraid there will be danger. If you encounter something you can't do, you must put your own safety first. We have already lost Biao'er and your second brother. I can no longer bear the pain of losing my son," Zhu Yuanzhang was about to shed tears again as he spoke.

It was really difficult for him. For an ordinary person, even experiencing the pain of losing a child in old age would be a huge blow.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's life, he has been constantly experiencing the departure of people around him.

It's no wonder that he held on to Zhu Ming and refused to let go, and even now he was too partial to him.

What Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't accept the most was Zhu Yu's ambition and his treacherous words about rebelling. In his opinion, he was not dead yet, and everything you said was bullshit.

He didn't take Zhu Ming's words of rebellion seriously.

What Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't accept the most was that Zhu Ming wanted to separate the family, and even had to swear a poisonous oath that he and his descendants would never set foot in the Central Plains.

This is what Zhu Yuanzhang cannot accept the most.

Even Emperor Hongwu is already old. When people get older, they begin to value family ties.
