Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 228 Your Qin Prince’s Mansion is really in chaos

When Zhu Chu came out of the palace, he carried the Shangfang sword all the way back to the palace.

He was helpless, but also revealed a lot of excitement and expectation.

Although the northwest is far away from the southwest of his base, that is, Yunnan.

Even if the distance is not one hundred and eight thousand miles away, it is still eighty-eight thousand miles away.

But Zhu Chu was excited about nothing else. Is it possible that he would encounter Tatars this time?

Zhu Zhen had already understood Xu Da's hint before. Not only did some people in the northwest region cause trouble years ago, but the main defense there was still outside the pass, that is, the Tatars on the grasslands outside the Great Wall.

Although there is Ningxia Town, which is now Yinchuan, it is very similar.

Is it possible to actually encounter a Tatar army?He really wanted to try fighting with the Tatars.

"But what happened to the second brother's death?" Of course, Zhu Zhen did not forget that this was his main task. He was sent to investigate the cause of the second brother's death.

According to the envoy, King Qin died suddenly due to illness.

But the second brother had wanted to beg Zhu Yuanzhang several times before to come to the capital to celebrate his birthday.

Maybe the second brother is still a little ambitious, and wants to see if Koufeng can make him the crown prince?
Could it be that there is a conspiracy of the eldest nephew Zhu Yunwen in this?

Zhu Zhen started to start conspiracy theories.

That night, Zhu Zhen practiced as usual with many precious medicinal materials, and then fell asleep peacefully.

However, the next morning, Zhu Zhen got up early, and came outside the palace gate again in the dark to participate in today's morning court.

This was agreed upon yesterday. At the court meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang first took the initiative to tell the news of the death of King Qin. After causing all the officials to be shocked, they all comforted Zhu Yuanzhang to express his condolences.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The King of Qin has always been young and strong, and he had the ability to command and train troops before. How did he suddenly die suddenly? So I decided to use the King of Dian as the imperial envoy, and specially gave Shang Fang a sword, as if I were here in person , personally go to the vassal country of King Qin to investigate what is going on. If there is really a hidden secret, you can kill it first and report it later."

All the officials in the court were secretly shocked.

Let the vassal king become an imperial envoy?In this way, Zhu Zhen's power would be too great.

He was originally the vassal king, and he got the status as if I were here in person. Unless Zhu Yuanzhang came forward in person, I'm afraid he would be the second best in the world, right?

But at this time, the officials had learned to be wise, and no one dared to express their opinions easily.

What's more, His Majesty's son just died, who dares to offend Long Yan?Even Liu Sanwu chose to keep silent at this time.

In this way, Zhu Ji was recognized by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and under the witness of all the courtiers, he became an imperial envoy.

"Zhen'er, when do you plan to leave?" When Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Zhu, his tone became very soft, as if he didn't sound like his son had just died.

Zhu Chu didn't think anything, but others found that His Majesty's tone towards Zhu Chu was getting gentler and gentler, just like how he treated Prince Zhu Biao when the prince was still there?
This shocked many people. Is His Majesty too partial to His Royal Highness the King of Dian?
Then I heard Zhu Ming say: "My son is preparing to leave immediately."

"So anxious?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then noticed the surprised look in the eyes of the officials, and said hurriedly: "After all, it is a long way to Xi'an for this trip, so we need to be prepared."

This is true. Even now, it takes more than 1000 kilometers and more than ten hours to drive from Nanjing to Xi'an.

And with the current traffic conditions, it might take ten days and a half to arrive, right?
"My minister plans to go into battle lightly. He will only be accompanied by the one hundred guards he brought from the vassal area, and all of them will be on horseback. It will only take three or four days to arrive," Zhu Zhen said of his plan.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a look of relief: "We must find out the results of the investigation, and don't let your second brother die in peace."

"Yes, I understand," Zhu Zhen agreed with his fists clasped.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew from the court.

Due to Zhu Ping's death, he was obviously not in the mood to hold a court meeting today.

What surprised Zhu Yuanzhang himself was that he originally thought he would be very sad, but who would have thought that he couldn't even shed a single tear.

Obviously, I was still in tears when I got the news before, but since I met Zhu Zhen and left the matter to him to handle, I feel completely relieved?

Zhu Yuanzhang himself felt incredible, as if as long as Zhu Ming was still there, he would have nothing to worry about?

Zhu Yu also left the palace here, and now he hung Shang Fang's sword on his waist. It was Shang Fang's sword, Zhu Yuanzhang's sword. Even if he walked in the palace wearing a sword, no one would dare to say anything.

After all, Shang Fang's sword itself is a symbol of imperial power.

Arriving outside the palace gate, Zhu Zhen looked up and saw a group of soldiers and horses lined up in front of him. All one hundred guards in the palace had been assembled, standing behind Wang Fu and Li Gui, holding their respective horses beside them.

Both humans and horses stood there calmly, without a trace of movement or clutter.

This scene made many civil and military officials in the lower dynasty marvel.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the King of Dian is indeed worthy of his reputation. These are brave and elite soldiers," a military general said in admiration.

Even Xu Da couldn't help but nod.

Zhu Chu walked over, asked someone to unload the carriage, and brought his beloved horse over.

No one dared to say anything this time. Knowing that Zhu Zhen had the emperor's orders, it would be okay even if he galloped around the city.

But just when Zhu Chu was about to get on his horse and set off for Xi'an immediately.

"Zhu Miao, are you just leaving like this?" A shout came, and Xu Miaojin was seen standing there, glaring at Zhu Miao.

Xu Da's face suddenly darkened, and he was about to step over and take his daughter home.

What kind of behavior is this?

Xu Miaojin didn't notice that her father was here and stared at Zhu Chu.

It turned out that after Xu Da returned home yesterday, he was talking to Xu Huizu, but Xu Miaojin overheard him. He couldn't bear to be questioned by her, so he had to tell the matter and that Zhu Zhen became the imperial envoy.

Xu Miaojin didn't know why, but her heart was always agitated and unable to calm down, as if something big was about to happen.

Originally, she had been waiting at home, thinking that Zhu Zhen would come to say hello to her.

Unexpectedly, he never showed up.

"If I hadn't come to find you, wouldn't you have left without saying goodbye?" Xu Miaojin glared at Zhu Ming and said angrily: "No matter what, I am one year older than you, why don't you say goodbye to your sister?"

Zhu Zhen looked in the direction of Baiguan with a guilty conscience.

This is outside the gate of the palace, and it is also the place where civil and military officials go to the morning and next court. I said, aunt, are you reserved?What about reserve?

"Sister, look what you are talking about," Zhu Zhen walked over quickly, took Xu Miaojin and hid far away to whisper.

Xu Da had a dark face, flicked his sleeves and left.

He can't handle it.

(PS: In fact, there were originally some interludes interspersed in the middle, but now it has been sped up. Don’t think it is too abrupt. There will be a plot after Xu Miaojin. Focus on it.)
"Sister, my second brother died suddenly and violently, and the northwest is not at peace yet. This sudden incident was too sudden, too coincidental, and revealed a conspiracy."

"That's why I have to rush there quickly. There may even be a war."

Zhu Miao took Xu Miaojin's little hand and explained to her.

In fact, Zhu Min didn't know why he had to explain to Xu Miaojin.

But Zhu Miao was even more worried that if Xu Miaojin got hot and angry and suddenly married herself while he was away from the capital, that would be terrible.

Who to marry?Li Jinglong?He doesn't deserve it.

Therefore, Zhu Miao had to keep Xu Miaojin steady, at least until he came back from doing things, preferably before he returned to Yunnan and slowly forgot about Xu Miaojin, she should not get married.

Okay, Zhu Chu admits that he is a little selfish. He is such a good girl, and he and Zhu Chu have a good impression of each other. Even if Zhu Chu does not want to enjoy the blessings of others, he does not want to take advantage of others.

"Then you must be careful," Xu Miaojin realized that the problem was not simple. In turn, he held Zhu Chu's hand and began to worry about him again.

"Don't worry, not only do I have my own guards, but there is also a guard station in Prince Qin's Mansion in Xi'an, and Ningxia Town is also heavily guarded," Zhu Zhen said with a smile, but he didn't have much to worry about.

Even if a war really breaks out, Zhu Zhen would be even more happy and looking forward to it.

Then, the two of them talked for a while, and then, amidst Xu Miaojin's lingering worry, Zhu Zhen got on his horse and led a hundred guards to rush out of the city.

"Don't look at it," Xu Huizu came over from the other side and woke up the girl: "You are too willful. Girls, you go outside the palace to block people, and you said those words, you are not afraid of being seen. joke?"

"Who dares?" Xu Miaojin snorted coldly and turned to look.All the civil and military officials had dispersed long ago. Only one Li Jinglong came over at this time and said to Xu Huizu with a bitter look on his face: "My brother, you still dare to say that you want to introduce a girl to me? Do you want to kill me? You Aren't you afraid that King Dian will find an excuse to whip me?"

After today, who doesn't know that Xu Miaojin and Zhu Chu have an unusual relationship, and who dares to take Xu Miaojin's idea?

Unless it's a stupid guy who's not afraid of death.

Xu Miaojin snorted lightly and glanced at Li Jinglong. She naturally looked down upon the second generation ancestor of such a playboy.

Compared with Zhu Chu, can these people still want it?

Xu Miaojin rolled her eyes disdainfully, turned around and left.

Let’s talk about Zhu Xi.

Although time was tight and the task was urgent, he did not take advantage of his privileges to gallop the horse in the city. He just let the horse trot. The guards behind him kept shouting loudly: "The imperial envoy is traveling. The emperor's order is on his side. Idle people should give way."

As passers-by retreated to both sides of the road, Zhu and the others finally made it to the outside of the city smoothly.

With Shang Fang's sword at his side and Zhu Chu dressed in a python robe, who dares to stop him?
After arriving outside the city, Zhu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Go straight to Xi'an, drive."

Following his order, more than 100 riders immediately started running wildly, picking up dust all the way and headed straight into the distance.

Going from Yingtian to Xi'an, I won't go into details about the cities I passed along the way. The main thing was to choose a major road from Henan to facilitate riding, and finally arrived in Shaanxi within three days.

And in the evening of the fourth day of October, Zhu and the others had already arrived at Xi'an City.

The reason why it is so fast is naturally because the distance between Xi'an and Yingtian is closer than that of Yunnan. In addition, the power of Mercedes-Benz is not comparable to that of human power.

The city gates of Xi'an were not yet closed, and the sergeants guarding the city saw more than 100 horsemen galloping towards them, and were about to stop them.

As a result, Zhu Chu gave an order, and everyone slowed down and stopped slowly when they came to the city gate.

The defender secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped forward and asked, "Who is coming?"

Such a cavalry unit is rare.

When I saw that Zhu Xi was wearing a bright red python robe that was very conspicuous even though he had traveled a long and dusty journey, I was so shocked that I almost knelt down.

After all, Xi'an has its own vassal king, so the defenders are not ignorant and can still recognize the python pattern.

At this time, Zhu Chun spoke and said: "I am Zhu Chun, the King of Dian. Now, by His Majesty's order, I am carrying Shangfang's sword as a special imperial envoy. I have come to sacrifice my second brother, King Qin."

Zhu Ming was very smart and did not directly say that he came to investigate the cause of King Qin's death, but said that he came to pay homage.

Hearing that he admitted that he was the vassal king, the defender quickly knelt down and shouted: "See His Royal Highness the King of Dian, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Zhu Ming was about to nod to let him get up, but unexpectedly found that the people around him who were about to enter the city hid far away as if they had seen ghosts, and quickly knelt down to say hello, and then they all lowered their heads. Some people seemed to Still shivering?

Are you so afraid of your own name and identity?

Or.

Zhu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly remembered the treatment he had encountered in Yunlong County.

At that time, it was Zhu Chu's first time to command troops. Because of the system's warning, he foresaw in advance that the Juliwu tribe was going to attack Yunlong County at night, so he rushed to protect Yunlong County in time.

But later, instead of thanking themselves, the people of Yunlong County felt like a wolf was coming.

It was because the King of Jingjiang, Zhu Shouqian, who had been transferred to Dali before, had "done good things". That boy had a bad reputation and ended up hurting himself.

God knows how much effort Zhu Ming put into reversing his reputation.

But now, looking at the appearance of the local people, Zhu Zhen's heart sank.

But he pretended not to know, raised his hand and said: "Get up, I have my life in hand, so I will go directly to the city."

Then Zhu Zhen winked at Wang Fu, and the group did not cause any more commotion. They even deliberately got off the horse, led the horse, and entered the city on foot in front of the people.

After entering the city, Wang Fu approached Zhu Zhen and asked, "Your Highness, what should we do next? Go directly to Prince Qin's Mansion?"

Zhu Zhen nodded: "That's natural. The news of our entry into the city is not a secret. It will spread throughout the city soon, so it is impossible to investigate privately. It just so happens that I also want to see the second brother's body in person, maybe Can there be any clues. But Wang Fu, you can find a brother in the future. Don't let Li Gui know about it. Go to the Shen family's shop in the city and tell him that I am here. Find a way to secretly let me meet with the local Shen family shopkeeper. "

Many people in the Shen family may have forgotten about it, but don't forget one thing. Shen Wansan's eldest son, Shen Rong, is now serving Zhu Chu.

Although Shen Wansan was exiled to Yunnan, the Shen family had a great business, not to mention nepotism all over the world, but their business was spread all over the country.

Especially since Shen Rong has been handling Zhu Chen's business in recent years, and Zhu Chen has a monopoly on all of his products, and there is no one other than this one.

This allowed Shen Rong to manage the caravan's business while traveling around the country, and kept returning to Yunnan with a large amount of wealth.

At the same time, Shen Rong is also developing the scale of the Shen family.

Moreover, Shen Rong also had a younger brother, Shen Wansan's second son Shen Wang.

When Shen Rong came to Yunnan to take care of his father Shen Wansan, his younger brother Shen Wang was taking care of the Shen family's business.

But Shen Rong is the eldest son, and he is now the talker of the Shen family. With Shen Rong taking refuge in Zhu Chu, the entire Shen family has become Zhu Chu's 'private property'.

That's why Zhu Ming had this plan. He wanted to meet with the local shopkeeper of the Shen family in private, and then find out if there was any gossip.

It's just that Li Gui cannot know about these things. This boy is a Jin Yiwei. Don't forget that he is his father Zhu Yuanzhang's son. Zhu Yu brought him to Beijing to report on his duties this time because he didn't want him to cause trouble in Yunnan. Now of course he doesn't want to expose himself and his family. The relationship between the Shen family.

In fact, until now, Shen Rong has been secretly serving Zhu Zhen, helping him complete many tasks by connecting with others.

Otherwise, Zhu Zhen is really worried that the Shen family will be implicated and Lao Zhu will kill everyone. After all, what he wants to do is to rebel.

Wang Fu looked back at Li Gui and sighed secretly.

Li Gui has also been following him for many years. In fact, Wang Fu knew that Li Gui later became the Jin Yiwei.

But now, the two of them were strangers.

However, this was not the time to lament these things. Wang Fu secretly remembered Zhu Chu's explanation, but kept a calm expression on his face. Following Zhu Chu, the group of people walked straight to the Prince of Qin's Mansion as if they were walking through the market.

Xi'an is Chang'an. However, during the Yuan Dynasty, the city facilities were severely destroyed and later rebuilt. The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty granted his third son, Brother Mang, a fiefdom and the title of King of Anxi. Therefore, this place was also called Anxi Road, and later it was also called Anxi Road. Fengyuan Road.

In the second year of Hongwu, general Xu Da led an army to conquer Fengyuan Road, and then it was renamed Xi'an Palace. At the same time, in the same year, the construction of Prince Qin's Palace in the northeast corner of Xi'an Fucheng began.

It was at that time that Zhu Yuanzhang planned to make Zhu Feng the King of Qin and guard Xi'an.

The scale of the Prince's Palace of Qin is very large. After all, it was originally built on the order of Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang became a vassal, he ignored Zhu Yuanzhang's warning that the people in the pass had been exhausted since the Yuan Dynasty lost power.Now that the world has been pacified, and there is still the work of transporting grain and paying taxes, the people have not yet rested and recuperated.After he arrives at the feudal territory, if the palace has been completed, he can temporarily stop all other unimportant affairs. ', but continue to build large-scale construction projects in the palace, wasting people and money.

Zhu Yuanzhang even scolded him for this, but Zhu Fang didn't take it seriously.

As a result, the Prince of Qin's palace was almost as gorgeous as the imperial palace.

But at this time, there were white cloths hanging everywhere in Prince Qin's palace, and there was a sense of sadness and desolation inside and outside.

In fact, Qin King Zhu Xiang has passed the coffin laying day, but he has not been buried yet.

Because the "Book of Rites Kingship" mentions that "the emperor will be buried on the seventh day and buried in the seventh month."The princes were buried on the fifth day and buried in the fifth month. '

As the king of Qin, Zhu Xi naturally belonged to the vassal level, so he would not be completely buried until five months later.

Therefore, these things in the house that are used for ordinary purposes will have to hang up for a long time.

Zhu Chu came to the house and raised his hand to pat the door.

Someone inside opened the door of the palace, glanced at Zhu Zhen and shouted: "How dare you, His Highness the King of Qin, dare to wear red clothes when his bones are not yet cold?"

It turned out that Zhu Zhen was wearing a bright red python robe, which was considered to have messed up the system.

Zhu Ming himself was not aware of it, so he quickly took off his python robe and said to the man: "Although you are right, I am wearing a python robe, and I am the king of Dian. At the same time, I have Shang Fang's sword attached to me. Your Majesty’s special imperial envoy. So you must kneel down before me.”

The man opened his mouth wide, finally recognizing the python pattern, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "My nephew Zhu Shangbing, I didn't know you were Uncle Wang, so please don't be surprised."

Zhu Ming blinked. It turned out to be his eldest nephew. He quickly reached out to help him up and asked, "Is your mother okay?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Shangbing was stunned for a moment before saying: "My mother was killed by the emperor, but Princess Qin is still in the palace."

Zhu Xinxin said what kind of mess is this?Why is the relationship in Prince Qin's palace so chaotic?
And the mother of this child was given to death by Lao Zhu?My child, you are really big-hearted.

(PS: Because I promised to speed up, the relationship with the Shen family that I planned to pave the way for has been directly skipped, but don’t feel it is abrupt, it has been explained here.)
