Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 266

"Ah, so it's Master Yang."

When Huang Zhen saw it was him, he quickly stopped, forced a smile on his face, and bowed his hands to him.

Xia Xun was a little strange, and tentatively said: "Master Huang has something on his mind, why is he so unhappy?"

Xia Xun's question immediately aroused Huang Zhen's sadness. Huang Zhen's eyes turned red, and he asked, "Master Yang, do you know about the fire in Prince Yan's mansion?"

Xia Xun said: "Oh, I know, that day the official was on duty at the Yamen, and when he heard the fire started, he put on his clothes and stood in the yard to watch the excitement. Hey, the fire was so hot that half the sky was red, Mr. Huang, Why are you bringing this up?"

Huang Zhen's eyes were filled with mist, and a layer of tears began to well up: "Old man... the old man's house is adjacent to Yan Wang's mansion, and it was also burned together, completely burned!"

"what?"

Xia Xun really didn't know that Huang Zhen had moved, so he couldn't help wondering: "Master Huang, isn't your house at the Sanshan Gate? When did you move to the Yanwang Mansion?"

Huang Zhen stretched out three fingers, gave Xia Xun a hard pause, and said in a painful voice, "Three days, three days before the fire in Prince Yan's Mansion."

Xia Xun was silent, and said with a dry smile: "People have misfortunes and blessings, but fortunately...the lord is not hurt, so don't take things too seriously!"

Huang Zhen said dejectedly: "Oh! The world is unpredictable. The old man has already thought about it and realized it. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Once we talk about it, the old man's heart feels like it is fried. Unspeakably uncomfortable! Master Yang, are you going to enter the palace?"

Xia Xun said: "Yes, the emperor summoned him. Master Huang came out of the palace at this hour. Could it be that the emperor was sent by the emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhen's face showed a trace of color. He cupped his fists, arched to the sky, and said: "The Emperor Chengmeng trusted him, and he issued an edict yesterday to appoint 1 interview envoys to patrol the world, among them There is Huang, who was originally the supervisory envoy of Hubei Province, but this time he was ordered by the emperor to also serve as the interview envoy of Hubei Province. It is convenient to have two positions in one person."

Xia Xun hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Oh, it turns out that Master Huang is also one of the 24 angels. Congratulations. I just don't know, what did you interview in Hubei this time? Could it be that the White Lotus Sect has another trouble?"

Huang Zhen curled his lips and said: "What is the White Lotus Sect? In the eyes of the current emperor, the scourge of the bandits is nothing more than a disease of ringworm and scabies. It's nothing to worry about. If you want to say that it's a serious problem, it's still..."

Huang Zhen shut his voice abruptly, Xia Xun blinked and said, "Huh?"

Huang Zhen laughed and said: "In the emperor's heart, the people are naturally the most important. This time, the emperor wants me to patrol the world in equal parts, ask the people about their sufferings, inspect the officials, and denounce corruption. The old man just entered the palace to give a speech, and tomorrow morning If you want to leave, go back and pack up now... Hey! It’s all burned up, and there’s nothing to clean up, Mr. Yang, I won’t delay your entry into the palace, so farewell, farewell!”

Xia Xun looked thoughtfully at the back of Huang Zhen leaving in a hurry, doubting in his heart: "What kind of interview envoys is the emperor sending at this time, and there are more than 20 in one group, this matter...isn't it related to the reduction of the feudal clan? "

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"You came."

Seeing Xia Xun, Zhu Yunwen had a rare smile on his face.

Xia Xun leaned back and said: "Yes, the emperor summoned the minister, and came to see him immediately. I don't know what the emperor has ordered for the minister."

Zhu Yunwen said: "Yang Xu, the son of King Yan and the two county kings will arrive in Beijing in a few days. Last time, King Yan went to Beijing, but he was assassinated by gangsters, and the mansion of King Yan was also burned, which made it very difficult for me I don't want something similar to happen to the third son of King Yan this time. While the third son of King Yan is in Beijing, their safety is up to you, Jin Yiwei."

Xia Xun bowed and said, "Yes, but...for such a big event, should...should I call Luo Qianshi to obey the emperor's orders?"

"I will let him know."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, took a sip of tea, glanced at Xia Xun, and said with a half-smile: "Yang Xu, you have always been in close contact with the Zhongshan Palace, and you get along well with the Yan Palace. I remember that a few days ago, you went to Peking Checking the lawlessness of Jinyiwei's subordinate officials is also the arguing between you and the Yan Palace. Among the people in Beijing, after much deliberation, you are the only one who can get in touch with the Yan Palace. Naturally, this matter must be explained to you. you."

Xia Xun's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, I do have some affection with the Zhongshan Palace, so it is also known to the Yan Palace, but I have no personal contact with the Yan Palace, and I dare not follow it." Si is a perversion of the law. Your loyalty to the emperor can be learned from heaven and earth. Since I joined the Jinyiwei, I have only worried about the emperor's worries, only the emperor's joy, and only obeyed the emperor's orders. ..."

This flattery made Xia Xun feel sick, but Zhu Yunqi put on a happy face, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Yang Qing, don't panic, of course I have no doubts about my loyalty to you."

Zhu Yunqi never doubted Xia Xun's loyalty.For those who are loyal, this loyalty is of course loyal to the emperor, monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, how can people who read sage books not understand the righteousness of tomorrow?Zhu Yunqi has always understood it this way, and has always believed that this is justified.

Moreover, if Yang Xu is not loyal and only seeks profit, then he will not betray himself. Who would choose a precarious King Yan instead of the orthodox Emperor of Heaven?What ability does Yan Wang have to compete with the emperor?As long as there is a person with eyes, who can't see that King Yan is about to fall?Therefore, Zhu Yunqi was very relieved of Xia Xun.

He chuckled and said, "That's right. As soon as Yan Wangfu entered the capital, he was very suspicious of me, which aroused a lot of discussion in the government and the public. After that, he was assassinated for no reason, and many people even put this account on my head." Come on. I am worried, if something happens to the three sons of King Yan in Beijing, wouldn't I be hard-pressed to argue?

King Yan is quite suspicious of me, and the third son of King Yan is influenced by Naifu, so I'm afraid they also have deep prejudices against me.If I choose some inappropriate people to protect them, if they are suspicious and avoid everywhere, maybe something will happen instead.That's why I thought of you, you and the Yan Palace always have some passion, if you come forward, you can probably gain their trust. "

The last time King Yan was assassinated, Zhu Yunwen didn't eat fish and made his whole body smelly. He was really a little scared. Before he found a high-sounding reason to attack King Yan, he didn't want anything to happen to King Yan's three sons.

When Xia Xun heard the reason, he couldn't help being surprised and delighted. Although he promised King Yan to take care of the three princes secretly, he had been imagining the difficulties involved, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yunqi would actually give him this job, so that he had the opportunity to be with the three princes. The third son of King Yan contacted openly and aboveboard.Thinking about it carefully, there are very few people in the capital who have dealt with Yan Wangfu. Although Emperor Jianwen chose him, although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable.

Xia Xun hurriedly bowed and agreed, "Yes, I understand. I will live up to your Majesty's entrustment and ensure the safety of the third son of King Yan in Beijing."

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "Very well, the Palace of King Yan has just been destroyed by a fire and has not yet had time to start construction. I have already informed Xu Huizu and let the three sons of King Yan live in the Palace of Zhongshan Palace temporarily. I have ordered King Wu, King Heng and King Xu to go to Yanzi Ji welcomes you, and you wait in the palace. After they see you, accompany them to Zhongshan Prince's Mansion. During their stay in Beijing, you must accompany them all the way to ensure their safety, and..."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes stared at Xia Xun for a moment, Xia Xun understood, and quickly nodded: "I understand! I believe that under the emperor's heavenly power, all tricks and tricks will be invisible!"

Zhu Yunwen smiled, he likes courtiers who are kind to me.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Your brothers Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui have met the emperor."

"Hey, the three princes have no duties in the court, and they don't need to be kings in the palace. Here, it's a family meeting. We only talk about family etiquette. Don't be so cautious. How can you do such a grand ceremony? Three younger brothers, hurry up, please hurry up."

Zhu Yunwen's face was full of wind, and he stepped forward to help his one-year-old cousin Zhu Gaochi very kindly.

Zhu Gaochi is really too fat. Compared with Zhu Yunqi, who is handsome and tall, his insane figure can hold both Zhu Yunqi.Because she was too fat, the plate on that big face was also plump, and the two fat faces were drooping, white and tender, revealing a fleshy red.

Seeing the emperor reaching out to help, Zhu Gaochi hastily kowtowed again: "My brother thanked the emperor."

As Zhu Gaochi said, he wanted to get up, but his body was too heavy, his legs were obviously supporting his body under load, but when he fell down on his knees, he couldn't get up for a while.

Zhu Yunqi was only giving a false support, but seeing him like this, he had no choice but to go to his side and really help him. Once he helped Zhu Gaochi's arm, the tentacles became a soft ball of Feirou, and Zhu Yunqi felt that he had nowhere to put his strength. Seeing this, Xia Xun, who was standing in the corner of the hall, hurriedly took a step forward to help Zhu Gaochi up.

Seeing the eldest brother standing up, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui who were kneeling on the ground also stood up.Zhu Gaochi gasped for a few breaths, and then smiled at Zhu Yunwen, a little shyly said: "My brother first paid a visit to Tianyan, he was inevitably nervous, his legs were a little soft, and suddenly..., His Majesty laughed .”

"Hehehe, Brother Wang was joking, you and my own brother, why are you so nervous. Lin Zi, quickly show the seats to the three brothers."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands to express his gratitude, and moved to the seat with difficulty. With such a simple movement, fine beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui again. Although these two people inherited Naifu's charm, they were extremely tall and strong, but in terms of age, they were only fifteen or fourteen. Those eyes stared at Zhu Yunqi, making no secret of their hostility towards him.

Zhu Yunwen smiled, and when he turned around, a look of contempt flashed across his eyes.

The so-called old man is a hero, but Zhu Yunqi can't feel the characteristics of the fourth uncle in the three sons of the fourth uncle.Every time he saw Fourth Uncle before, he would feel a sense of awe from the bottom of his heart. Even if he became the emperor now, Zhu Di had to bow at his feet and kowtow to him to proclaim himself emperor, the uneasy feeling in his heart never disappeared. Never disappeared.

Zhu Di has a very powerful aura that makes him feel awe. He has only felt this kind of feeling in his grandfather.No matter how kind Zhu Yuanzhang was to him, and he didn't even say a harsh word to him, this sense of awe still lingered.

Especially when he was by Zhu Yuanzhang's side, even if he saw Zhu Yuanzhang being furious because of other people or other things, he would keep silent. This kind of fear seemed to be innate. A weak creature is born to another powerful creature. awe.But with the three sons of King Yan, he didn't feel that way at all.

Fat people always give people a sense of stupidity, and the son of King Yan is even more fat. Zhu Yunwen felt that with King Yan's illustrious military exploits, his eldest son might have never touched a knife handle, let alone archery on horseback. He had to be supported even for a few steps.

As for Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, they look like valiant warriors, but they are only limited to one warrior. Even your father dare not show any hostility in front of me, and you actually look at me with hatred, such two The stupefied young man from Wucheng Mansion, what can he do?

After returning to the royal case and sitting down, the smile on Zhu Yunwen's face became more cordial: "The three princes have come from a long way and have worked hard all the way. I have already arranged a family banquet in the palace. The queen mother will come over soon. Let's accompany the queen mother." She will have a meal with the elderly, and then Yang Xu will accompany you to the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion to rest first."

Zhu Yunxuan looked at Xia Xun who was beside Shi Li, and said: "A few days ago, Prince Yan's mansion was flooded, and it has not been rebuilt yet. Xu Huizu is your uncle, and it is only natural for his nephew to live in his uncle's house. Princes and princes I will continue to go to Beijing again and again, it is rare for you to come to Beijing, so take a good rest these few days and see the scenery of Jinling, Yang Xu will take care of everything for you and protect your safety in Beijing."

Zhu Gaosui couldn't hold back, and asked rashly: "Your Majesty, when can we go back to Peiping?"

Zhu Yunwen glanced at him, and said indifferently: "This land of golden powder in the Six Dynasties, the Jinling Emperor State, and the prosperity of the scenery, can it not compare with Beiping? Why are you so anxious?"

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "There are only our three sons under my mother's knees. Now we are going to Beijing together. My loving mother misses me very much. Before leaving, she asked us to write a family letter and go back early after arriving in the capital, stating the date of return, lest my mother miss you. Therefore, my third brother asks this question, please don't blame your Majesty for being reckless."

Zhu Yunwen said: "Oh, hehe..., this is what I think. I am the king of a country, and I need to take care of the world's major affairs. For the sake of the country, I should have kept my filial piety for the first emperor for three years, but I can only change the days and months. I have always regretted this in my heart; and the feudal barriers of the kings and uncles also have great responsibilities and cannot leave the vassal state without authorization.

After much thought and deliberation, the responsibility of keeping filial piety for the late emperor has to fall on the princes.On the day of the late Emperor Xiang's death, after I will lead you to pay homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, I plan to build a hut under the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and let the princes of all feudal clans live in it, and keep filial piety on behalf of the emperor. To teach princes knowledge. "

When Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui heard this, their complexions suddenly changed, and Zhu Gaochi's complexion was also slightly pale. Zhu Yunwen glanced at them, pretending to be surprised and said: "You three princes, but is there anything wrong with my opinion?"

Zhu Gaochi slowly squeezed a smile on his face, and slightly arched his hands and said: "The emperor is a benevolent and filial friend, and my ministers admire me very much. The ministers are not only the descendants of the previous emperor, but also the ministers of the present. Either way, it's very appropriate."

Speaking of which, Zhu Gaochi cast a meaningful glance at Xia Xun, who was standing like a stake in the corner of the hall, with his fat eyes squeezed to the point where there was only a slit.
