Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 126 Concubine Guo Hui, You Are Too Presumptuous!
Lao Zhu cried for a while, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

How did these two people know so much about what happened in the palace today?
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu immediately felt a little displeased. He coldly glanced at Qin Deshun, who was waiting beside him, and thought to himself that this guy must have leaked the news.

But we don't have time to deal with him now, we'll send him later!
"The two lovers haven't eaten yet, have they?"

"It just so happens that we haven't eaten yet, you two might as well have lunch with us."

Feng Sheng's eyes widened when he heard this, he never thought that he went into the palace and cried twice, how could he still eat a meal for nothing?

Fu Youde was also very surprised, but he has a delicate mind and knows the truth that being with a king is like being with a tiger, and he has always pursued the way of being wise and protecting himself.

However, just when he wanted to politely refuse, Feng Da Bangchui, who only said "we are the same", suddenly changed his lines.

"That's daring!"

"We haven't had a drink with His Majesty for many years!"

When Fu Youde heard this, he quickly swallowed back the polite refusal, and then bit the bullet and followed.

"Then respect is worse than obedience?"

After hearing Feng Sheng's words, Lao Zhu was also a little emotional.

Ever since he killed Li Shanchang, the former subordinates have been a little alienated from him.Even Sapphire, who he watched growing up, was very reserved when facing him, as if there was a wall between them.

This may be the price of being an emperor, or did the ancient emperors always call themselves lonely?
Lao Zhu's mood was also infected by Feng Sheng's heartlessness, and he enthusiastically grabbed the two's arms and went to the side hall for dinner.

As soon as the two of them entered the side hall and saw the table full of food and wine, they kept screaming in their hearts, His Majesty's living standard has skyrocketed, can they eat so many dishes in one meal?

When Lao Zhu saw the slight change in the faces of the two, he knew that they were thinking of breaking up, so he hurriedly explained.

"At noon, I wanted to entertain the emperor's sons for a meal, talk about the family relationship, and enjoy the family happiness."

"Which Cheng wants to be disturbed by that negligent grandson, causing all our princes to complain to us so much that they don't even accompany us to eat lunch, and all ran to visit that negligent grandson!"

Lao Zhu's mouth was filled with righteous indignation, but there was endless pride and joy in his brows.

That meaning couldn't be more obvious, look at the prince and grandson of our old Zhu family, isn't he a good boy who values ​​love and righteousness!
Lao Zhu waited expectantly for the two old ministers to flatter him, but unexpectedly Feng Sheng only had wine in his eyes and didn't listen to him at all.

Fortunately, there is also Fu Youde, although this man is a general, but he has the exquisite heart of a civil servant, and he can immediately hear the meaning behind His Majesty's words.

But sycophancy is a technical job. It must be done well and well, without showing any traces.

Fu Youde pondered for a while, and immediately put on a straight face to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. The princes went to visit the emperor's grandson. Doesn't this reflect that they value the family relationship?"

"Since ancient times, the royal family has fought for the throne, and there have been countless things to seize the throne. It can be said that people as united and friendly as our Daming royal family are rare in the ages."

"Your Majesty didn't just praise the princes, but he even complained, it's too harsh!"

After Fu Youde finished speaking, he hurriedly kicked Feng Sheng who was sitting opposite, and Feng Sheng hurriedly followed.

"We...so do we!"

Fu Youde's reverse compliment won Lao Zhu's heart, and Lao Zhu grinned to the back of his head when he laughed.

"What Fu Aiqing said is true, but we are too harsh."

"Come, come, let's drink this cup to the brim, and wish our Ming Dynasty an early triumphant return from the Northern Expedition..."

When Lao Zhu and Fu Youde and others exchanged cups, Lan Yu, who was on the way to the border, took out a set of scripts out of boredom.

This was deliberately put into his luggage when he was leaving. He wanted to stay on the road to relieve boredom, but he didn't see it several times.

That is to say, I am really bored now, so I dug it out again.

Maybe it was too boring, or maybe it was because he was getting farther and farther away from Beijing and his mood became more and more calm, but he was gradually able to see it.

When she saw an old man drilled out of the ring, Lan Yu's brain exploded, and she thought of the scene when she heard that the grandson used his name to scare the Lu family at the gate of the prince's mansion.

Could it be me that the old man in this book is?
The more Sapphire thought about it, the more it seemed possible, and she even re-read it.

When watching Doupo again, Lan Yu also had a different experience just like Lao Zhu.

Isn't this the true portrayal of this child who has no mother since childhood?

With a patriarchal father...

If the prince does not die, he must be the head of the royal family, the future emperor, which is not bad.

She was a stunning talent since she was a child, but because of an unknown accident, she became useless...

Isn't this implying that Mrs. Lu treated him harshly and raised him up?

If it wasn't for Lu's suppression, deliberately abandoning our nephew and grandson to raise him, how could our nephew and grandson be so smart and smart, how can we not be famous and not have a little bit of talent from childhood to adulthood?
Sapphire saw that the chest seemed to be on fire, and both eyeballs turned red.

The Lu family has such a vicious heart, I will not destroy your blue jade, and your Lu family swears that you will not be human!
……

Prince's Mansion, Zhu Yunxi's courtyard.

With the departure of the two brothers Zhu Gui and Zhu Zhi, Zhu Yunxi was finally able to sleep well.

But just when he was lying on the bed and drowsy, he heard a plop, and Wang De knelt on the head of his bed for some reason.

"The servant is guilty!"

"Without His Royal Highness's permission, the maidservant persuaded several princesses on her own initiative to go to Qianqing Palace to intercede for His Highness, and I hope His Highness will punish her!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled helplessly when he heard the words, and he said how could he have such a good popularity.

When chatting with Zhu Zhi just now, Zhu Zhi had already confessed honestly that he was the one who frightened those young princes as the eldest child, and whoever didn’t come to intercede for him would put them in a sack and throw them into the moat to feed to toads. Only those little things with no conscience are moved.

Hearing what Wang De said now, Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt that it was much more reasonable.

That bad old man has such a violent temper, with a vicious look on his face, even Zhu Gui's character, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, has his calf cramped when he sees the old man. plead?
"Tell me, how did you scare them and ask them to intercede for me?"

"Did the servants scare them?"

"The servant girl just told Mingyue about your beating, and instructed her what to do and how to say it, and then Mingyue took the three younger sisters there."

"Mingyue didn't scare them?"

"It's not a scare, it's just that if His Highness is beaten to death, they won't be able to eat chicken legs at night..."

Zhu Yunxi sighed secretly when he heard the words.

"Well, my third brother is still worth a chicken leg, so I didn't dote on them in vain..."

……

After Lao Zhu finished his lunch here, he personally sent the two of them to the entrance of the main hall. Just as he was about to say some farewell words, Feng Sheng glanced into the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the book of Weichen is still inside, wait for me to go in and get it!"

Hearing this, Fu Youde also hurriedly agreed.

"Your Majesty, mine is also inside..."

When Lao Zhu heard what the two said, he immediately became unhappy.

Isn't such a rich meal worth the money of a few broken books?
Sensitively aware of Lao Zhu's displeasure, Fu Youde immediately explained after picking up his book.

"Your Majesty, this is different. The set of Weichen was personally signed by His Royal Highness the Third Emperor."

Old Zhu curled his lips in disdain upon hearing this.

"The handwriting written by the grandson is like a dog crawling. How can his signature be any better?"

Fu Youde immediately became unhappy when he heard the words.

"Your Majesty, your words are too much. I have found a few calligraphy for everyone to read. Even the Minister of Rites said that the calligraphy of His Highness the Third Emperor's Sun has the charm of the second king. How can you say that it is like a dog crawling?"

"What?"

Lao Zhu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and felt that either his vision was wrong, or that the whole world was wrong.

"As long as he is still the second king, according to our opinion, it is almost the same to add an eighth!"

Hearing this, Fu Youde immediately opened the title page, and showed Zhu Yunxi's signature to Old Zhu.

"Look, Your Majesty, this is the signature of the third emperor's grandson. How does it look like a dog crawling?"

Old Zhu stared at the past, only to see that the three characters "Zhu Yunxi" on the title page were really well written, and the dragon, flying and phoenix dancing room really had a bit of the charm of the two kings, which surprised him in his heart.

"Is this really written by our grandson?"

"Impossible, could it be that Qi Tai wrote it for him?"

"Your Majesty, this is what I saw with my own eyes, so how can it be fake?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, his face suddenly sank.

If what Fu Youde said is true, then what he saw before was false, and the grandson purposely used the word "dog crawling" to disgust him!
When Lao Zhu thought of this, an unknown fire suddenly rose in his heart.If it wasn't for the grandson who just finished beating him, he would have had someone bring him over and beat him up!
"Lend this book to us for two days first, and I'll send it back to you after reading it..."

Hearing this, Feng Sheng hurriedly took the book and left. Fu Youde also wanted to be like that guy, but he didn't have the courage of that guy.

Seeing the reluctance on the faces of the two, Lao Zhu also became angry.

"Look at how stingy you two are. We want the autograph of Ni Sun, and we can grab him to sign for us at any time. We can sign 1 copies a day. Can we still miss your book?"

Fu Youde was quite ashamed by what Lao Zhu said, so he said bravely.

"Why don't you lend this set to His Majesty temporarily?"

Lao Zhu waved his hands angrily.

"roll roll roll!"

"We don't care about borrowing it. Let's ask that grandson to write it for us. If he dares not to write it, we will break his leg!"

Lao Zhu didn't even send him off after speaking his anger, he turned around and went back to the hall with a flick of his sleeves, leaving only the two of them staring at each other in embarrassment.

"Old Fu, aren't we a bit too much?"

"Probably not, but His Majesty is a little sour..."

After Lao Zhu dismissed the two of them, he immediately sent someone to investigate, and brought him back from the bookstore with a set of fights.

Then he hid in the bedroom and read the script while waiting for the results of Qin Deshun's inquiry.

As an emperor, he can cry and be moved, but he can't listen blindly.

Although he was confident that Fu Youde and Feng Sheng would not dare to lie to him, he still wanted to send someone to investigate and confirm whether things were really as they said.

When lighting the lamp, Lao Zhu finished reading the last page of the last book, and when he was feeling lost, he saw Qin Deshun running in.

"My lord, the slaves have found out!"

"It's just as the two princes said, His Royal Highness did not take a tael of silver from the generals and nobles, not only returned all of them, but also gave them a set of books written by themselves for free!"

"In addition, not all the money in the warehouse belongs to His Highness. A large part of it is the order money paid in advance by the booksellers in the capital. If the Third Highness fails to supply the goods as scheduled, it will be doubled and refunded..."

"Here is the signature and affidavit of the corresponding person, please have a look at it, Your Majesty!"

Lao Zhu took over the transcripts handed over by Qin Deshun and flipped through them. He looked disgusted after only a few pages.

The spare manpower business is just not good, and it is completely incomparable with the people in Jinyiwei.

Fortunately, the record of the matter is quite clear, and there are all the signatures and affixes that should be there. Finally, the process of the matter can be restored.

"What does the pawn shop say?"

"Going back to the emperor, the shopkeeper hanged himself, and the guys don't know where to go..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered when he heard the words.

"Humph!"

"What a ruthless scheme, even we were almost fooled by them!"

"Can you find out whose business this pawn shop is?"

"My servant has been to Yingtian Mansion, but I didn't find out that this pawnshop is related to the Lu family, but I heard from people in the streets and alleys that the Lu family uncle has visited several times, and some people have seen the pawnshop shopkeeper often go to the Lu family..."

Old Zhu immediately became furious when he heard the words, and yelled at Qin Deshun.

"It's still called not being found out, so how can it be found out!"

"Another thing, how did Fu Youde and Feng Sheng know what happened in the palace today?"

When Qin Deshun heard this, he fell to his knees with a plop, and kowtowed to plead guilty.

"The servant knows the crime, the servant deserves death..."

"His Royal Highness King Jin forced the servant girl to say it. If the servant girl doesn't say anything, King Jin will threaten to kill the servant girl, woo woo woo..."

When Lao Zhu heard that King Jin was involved, most of the anger in his heart dissipated immediately, but he was still a little upset about Qin Deshun's daring to pass on messages to others in private.

"Find a place to play [-] boards by yourself, and take care of your broken mouth!"

"Hey!"

"My servant, thank the emperor for rewarding the board!"

Just when Qin Deshun went to play the board happily, Lao Zhu stopped him again.

"what!"

"Who put this thing on our table?"

He read the script all afternoon, and only now did he realize that there was an extra scroll on the table.

"Reporting to the emperor, this is what you punished His Highness the Third Emperor, and fell out of His Highness the Third Emperor's arms."

"The third grandson left in a hurry and didn't pay attention to this thing, so the servants are temporarily placed on your imperial case."

"Oh……"

Hearing this, Lao Zhu no longer paid attention to this guy, picked up the scroll and slowly opened it, and stood up from his chair in shock after only one glance.

How can this be...

How can there be such an accurate map in this world, it is infinitely more accurate than the one in our palace!
Lao Zhu eagerly took Nisun's map to the wall, and compared it with the complete map of Daming Kanyu hanging on the wall. Go to this picture.

It's just because of face, I'm embarrassed to say this.

Qin Deshun could see what the emperor was thinking, and hurriedly asked in a low voice.

"My lord, this servant will go and ask His Royal Highness the Third Emperor for you?"

"Ok!"

"Ok?"

Old Zhu gave Qin Deshun a displeased look.

"Didn't we say that you will be rewarded with [-] big boards, and it's over so quickly?"

"The servant girl is going to receive the punishment..."

Qin Deshun felt very depressed when he heard the words, His Royal Highness Jin Wang's 20 taels of silver is really not easy to earn, one tael of silver is a board, and he will have to ask him to increase the money next time!

After Lao Zhu sent Qin Deshun away, he was like a child who found a new toy, and he couldn't put it down while holding the map.

With this map, Daming can increase his fighting power by at least [-]% when fighting Bei Yuan again!

It's just that he soon realized that something was wrong. Why are there so many small circles on the map?
He compared the whole map of geomancy on the wall several times before he realized what the circles on Zhu Yunxi's map were.

If what he expected is correct, the circle on the top is the town of Daming Dynasty Prince Jiufan!
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, why is the grandson painting this thing when he has nothing to do?
Qin Deshun limped into the main hall after finishing his twentieth board, and respectfully handed over the album of concubines in the harem.

"Your Majesty, please take a look..."

Lao Zhu was just getting annoyed, how could he care about the concubines in the harem, he waved his hands impatiently.

"Take it away, we will stay in Qianqing Palace today!"

"Oh……"

When Qin Deshun retreated with the album, Lao Zhu thought that Nisun was carried away by Concubine Guo Hui, and he happened to go there to inquire about the situation, so he hurriedly stopped him.

"and many more!"

"Show off Guo Huifei's palace!"

"My lord, concubine Guo Hui sent someone to say that she is inconvenient today, and she has already made a red note in the album..."

Old Zhu felt displeased immediately when he heard this, he was sure that Concubine Guo Hui was angry with him.

"Humph!"

"Did we pamper her a little too much and make her so arrogant!"

"Since she doesn't want to talk to us, let's go to someone else's palace and see if she will cry in the future!"

"Pass the decree, drive Concubine Yang Palace!"

"Reporting to the emperor, Concubine Yang also sent someone to ask for leave today, and she also made a red note..."

Old Zhu was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Isn't she this day?"

"Where's Concubine Han, Concubine Han won't ask for leave too?"

"Returning to the emperor, you are always right. Concubine Han is indeed on leave..."

Angrily, Lao Zhu snatched the harem album, and saw that everyone's name was dotted with red marks with cinnabar, which meant that it was inconvenient to attend the bed.

Even though he didn't intend to go to the harem today, seeing this scene at first made him very angry.

"It's all red, why are you sending this thing up!"

"Why are we so angry!"

Qin Deshun was also taken aback when he heard the words, yes, we all know that the concubines in the harem will go to bed collectively, so why did you give this thing to the emperor?
But after he thought about it, he figured it out, it was definitely not intentionally embarrassing the emperor, but a subconscious habit!
That's what everyone asked!

"Didn't we just beat up that Ni Sun, they dared to let go!"

"Come on!"

"Let's go to the harem now, we still don't believe it, who dares to kick us out!"

Not long after, Lao Zhu led a group of people to rush to the harem, and just passed the corner gate from Kunning Palace to the East Sixth Palace, when he saw Concubine Guo Hui sitting at the door, eating melon seeds.

Concubine Guo Hui saw Lao Zhu running over angrily, and spoke before the other party opened her mouth.

"Yo!"

"Isn't this the majestic Emperor Zhu who is used to beating his grandson? What gust of wind brought you here!"

When Lao Zhu heard Guo Hui's words, he was so angry that his face turned black on the spot.

"Guo Hui, you are too presumptuous!"

　The third watch is [-] words, please ask for a ticket, pity Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu can't even enter the harem...
