Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 183 Lao Zhu: Fourth Master is so good to us, why?
The night is intoxicating.

Fourth Master Zhu didn't drive away Wen'er. Is it possible that a grown man is still afraid of her as a girl? He sat cross-legged and practiced under the moonlight, the Book of Destiny flickering in his mind.

Recently, he was gathering students' wool in the academy. He had a vague sense of breakthrough, so he stopped gathering wool and absorbed the awe-inspiring aura emanating from the Book of Qi and Luck.

"Fourth Master~" came Wen'er's touching voice.

Wearing a pink gauze dress, she was petite and exquisite, with the innocence of a girl mixed with a bit of the style and charm of an imperial sister. She walked lightly in front of Fourth Master Zhu, her bright eyes full of red. The lips were slightly raised, outlining a sultry smile. She raised her slender hands lightly, and her long hair fell smoothly like a waterfall, showing a bit of softness and charm.

"Is it time to go to bed?" She smiled seductively.

Fourth Master Zhu stared at her with burning eyes, stood up, and held her in his arms. Her petite body pressed tightly against his chest, she raised her delicate and charming face, and her long white fingers gently fiddled with the long hair hanging down her cheeks, and a faint daughter's fragrance came to her nostrils.

"Woman, you are playing with fire." A hint of joking flashed in Mr. Zhu's eyes.

"Old man, are you scared?" Weier showed no sign of weakness. She hugged his waist tightly with her arms.

That squeezing feeling is a bit big!

"My Emperor misses His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and I hope she can return to the north as soon as possible." Ao Gu frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her tone.

Wen'er's beautiful eyes looked directly at Master Zhu boldly, her skin turned pink due to overheating, and she said softly and charmingly: "Old man, you are quite good at it."

Fourth Master Zhu gently hooked the tip of her delicate chin and locked his deep eyes on her red lips. Then, he kissed her without hesitation.

After a long time, the lips opened.

Weier gently shook his arm and smiled coquettishly: "I don't need you to sleep with me tonight."

afraid?
Who is afraid of who is a puppy!
Wener was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then, a pair of arms as white as jade hugged him tighter. She felt as if her body was swept by a powerful force, and the passion in her heart burst out like a volcano erupting. She met his kiss.

Ao Gu took out a letter from her arms, raised her hand and threw it, and the letter flew steadily towards Fourth Master Zhu. Fourth Master Zhu stretched out two fingers and pinched it gently, then firmly held the letter in his hands. He wanted to open the letter immediately to check the contents, but he paused when he saw the Mongolian characters written on the envelope.

Ao Gu glanced at her coldly and said without any warmth in her voice: "I'm here to ask my parents if the princess is okay."

"Do you have the guts to go?" Ao Gu sneered, seeming to question his courage. After saying this, she flashed and turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the night sky.

Fourth Master Zhu held the letter in his hand, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Fourth Master Zhu gently let go of Wenger in his arms, turned to look at the uninvited guest, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Long time no see, where have you been hiding recently?"

Although she is petite, her breasts are indeed quite majestic.

Just as Fourth Master Zhu was about to take a step forward, a cold voice came out: "Tsk, tsk, Fourth Master, you are sorry for our eldest princess."

"When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. When you marry a dog, follow the dog. Don't worry so much." Fourth Master Zhu waved his hand, looking disapproving.

Wan'er snuggled into Fourth Master Zhu's arms, her bright peach blossom eyes sparkling with autumn water, and she looked at the sudden appearance of Ao Gu with a half-smile. Ao Gu's eyes swept over the two of them, and when she saw Wen'er, a turmoil arose in her heart. Didn’t it mean that this witch’s cultivation was ruined? How could she appear here and still be nestled in Fourth Master Zhu's arms? How could she get together with Fourth Master Zhu?
"Ao Gu, are you here to sleep with Fourth Master too?" Wen'er said with a smile on her face, deliberately provoking.

……

……

"Eh? Then if I go to Beiyuan, won't I become the Prince Consort?" Fourth Master Zhu joked with a smile.

Ao Gu, dressed in black robe, fell into the yard.

A sharp cold light flashed in her eyes, as if she was warning Weinger.

After saying that, she turned around and returned to her room lightly, leaving a faint fragrance filling the air.

The next day, early in the morning.

After Fourth Master Zhu practiced his body, he was going to the back hill of the academy to take the letter to Zhao Xuanzhen, but when he opened the door, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang who was about to come in. He was wondering, didn't the emperor even go to court?
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and said in a very leisurely manner: "Fourth Master, I will take a rest today. Let's go out for a spring outing outside the city."

Hearing this, Fourth Master Zhu pondered for a moment, then nodded: "That's very good, then let's go."

The two men brought horses and rode them out of the city. When the flowers are in bloom, the scenery along the Qinhuai River is picturesque. They walked along the river bank, admiring the blooming flowers and green willows on both sides, feeling the spring breeze blowing on their faces and the refreshing fragrance of the flowers.

"Fourth Master, Xuanwu Academy really shined in this imperial examination." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "They entered the court, what do you expect from them?"

Fourth Master Zhu frowned.

If this happened before, he would have said it was none of your business. How could you still help them? But now he knew that Zhu Balang in front of him was the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and there must be deep meaning in asking this question.

"The key is to see how the emperor uses them." He spread his hands and smiled, "If my guess is correct, His Majesty is worried about the current courtiers and wants to replace them."

"We think so too, but it needs to be done step by step." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. Fourth Master Zhu secretly cursed in his heart, you are pretending to be the same. You really know how to act. Are you tired of acting in front of me every day?

He felt that Zhu Yuanzhang definitely did not have the ability to eavesdrop on his heart, otherwise, after so long, flaws would definitely be exposed. Therefore, he felt confident and bold in his defamation.

"Your Majesty doesn't just distrust these courtiers." Fourth Master Zhu said, "He wants to play a big game."

"Oh, what big chess game?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with interest.

"He wants to depose the prime minister and let the emperor directly lead the six ministries." Fourth Master Zhu said solemnly.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. This was a secret he kept deep in his heart. Not even the queen had revealed it. How did he see through it?

"How do you know?" he asked.

"Guess." Fourth Master Zhu smiled calmly, "So, if I were him, I could make arrangements. For example, I could make an exception and promote a few young people from the imperial examination to Wenyuan Pavilion bachelors. They are only fifth-grade, and they will not attract court officials. Please pay attention. However, these academicians are the emperor’s close ministers and can help your majesty.”

"The little prime minister governs the great prime minister!" Zhu Yuanzhang praised, "This is a good method."

A sly flash appeared in Fourth Master Zhu's eyes.

In this case, Zheng Shiyuan, Han Yike and Song Li will be reused, and he himself can open up the layout of the court.

"Balang, the killing power of the killing fist is too strong." Zhu Siye said, "I will teach you another set of Tai Chi. You can practice it more often. It will not only enhance your cultivation, but also help you calm down."

"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed.

So, Fourth Master Zhu went to the riverside and taught Zhu Yuanzhang Tai Chi seriously. Zhu Yuanzhang studied for an hour and mastered the basic moves, and Master Zhu patiently explained the essence.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fourth Master Zhu's serious expression and felt secretly happy. Recently, Fourth Master has been treating us better. If he hadn't known the identity of our emperor, we would have thought that he had something up his sleeve.

The next day.

During Zhu Yuanzhang's early dynasty, he decreed to promote Zheng Shiyuan, Han Yike and Song Li to the rank of Grand Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, the fifth rank. Although there were exclamations in the court, it didn't cause much trouble because it was only the fifth grade.

Almost all the officials in the main hall are above the third rank, how could they take a fifth rank seriously? Liu Bowen frowned slightly, but he couldn't guess the emperor's intention of conferring three bachelors.

……

In a quiet courtyard on the other side of the Qinhuai River, Zhu Yong was concentrating on practicing his sword skills. His sword energy surged freely and horizontally, carrying a fierce force that should not be underestimated.

Mr. Guan, who was standing on the sidelines, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but nodded slowly and expressed sincere admiration: "You boy, you are indeed Zhu Chongjiu's son. He is not very talented."

However, Zhu Yong seemed to be quite resistant to the name "Zhu Chongjiu". He snorted coldly, put away the knife in his hand, and said calmly: "I have to report to the East Palace today, and I may not have so much time to practice swordsmanship in the future. "

"Donggong?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Guan frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised by the news.

"That's right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has assigned me to be the reading companion in the East Palace." Zhu Yong had a look of pride on his face.

Mr. Guan nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "Following Prince Zhu Biao is a good choice. You have already mastered the essence of sword skills and the key points of mental skills. In the future, you only need to practice more frequently, not necessarily Come to me."

Zhu Yong couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he heard Mr. Guan's affirmation and encouragement. He was slightly startled, then bowed respectfully to Mr. Guan: "Thank you, Uncle Guan, for your careful teaching!"

When Mr. Guan saw this, he burst out laughing: "Haha, good boy! You are finally willing to call me Uncle Guan, then..."

But Zhu Yong didn't seem to want to go any further on this topic. He interrupted Mr. Guan: "Uncle Guan, I am very grateful for your teaching and care of me. But I will not leave here with you, let alone Go and recognize your father."

When Mr. Guan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that the knot in Zhu Yong's heart was not easy to untie, so he did not force him or force him. Recently, he received a letter from Zhu Chongjiu. He heard that his father might not be dead. He was very excited and planned to come to Yingtian City as soon as possible. When the time comes, let the father and son solve it themselves.

Zhu Yong left the small courtyard and came to the East Palace.

Zhu Biao saw him coming, stood up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Zhu Yong, I will be alone with you from now on."

"See His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhu Yong knelt down and said, "I will do my best to protect His Highness from now on."

"Get up." Zhu Biao raised his hand, "Gu Zheng is going out for a spring outing, let's go!"

He led Zhu Yong to the main hall, called Zhu Xiang and Zhu Fan, and left the palace together.

"Aren't you going to call me Fourth?" Zhu Fan asked.

"I want to call him, where is he?" Zhu Biao said helplessly.
