Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 368 Fire Tree Silver Flower Never Night

Even though eight years have passed since the Guo Huan case, Lao Zhu still has lingering fears whenever he thinks about it.

For the first time, Lao Zhu felt fear, feeling that he was going to be emptied.

Who would have thought that Guo Huan, a minister of the household department, could drag the entire court into the water.Moreover, twelve chief envoys and more than 1 officials, large and small, were involved.

Zhu Yunxi lay on the bed, quietly listening to Grandpa Huang's story about the thrilling events of that year, and gained a new understanding of Grandpa Huang.

Like everyone else, he used to think that Grandpa Huang was ruthless.Even if it is not cruel and bloodthirsty, it can definitely be called cold-blooded.

However, looking at the crying and laughing old man with a face full of remorse and fear, he gradually realized something in his heart.

Grandpa Huang is indeed bloodthirsty, but he is not born with bloodthirsty, but is forced to kill.

During the daytime, he was framed by someone, and he exchanged farm tools for weapons and armor, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, not to mention the emperor's grandfather who crawled out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood!
"Grandfather, grandson understands!"

Lao Zhu stroked his grandson's head affectionately, and said with a smile.

"It's good to understand!"

"Let me tell you, the emperor wants to fight with his courtiers. If you are stupid, the people below will dare to fool you to death. If you are smart, you cannot avoid being fooled by your courtiers, but if they want to fool you, you must move more." Use your brains!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Grandson remembers!"

Zhu Yunxi had suffered so many beatings, but this time he felt it was worth the fare. It gave him a new understanding of the court and the officialdom of Ming Dynasty.

"Grandfather, do you know how they did it?"

Old Zhu laughed when he heard the words.

"I can probably guess it!"

"Why, you want us to vent your anger on you?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard the words.

"Need not!"

"Sun'er solves the matter of the Ministry of War by himself, and you don't need to tell me how they did it. Sun'er finds a way to investigate by himself!"

Seeing Dasun say this, Lao Zhu showed a gratified smile on his face.

"it is good!"

"Then check it yourself!"

"In addition, the people of Jinyiwei must be used, and they cannot be idle all day long."

"Oh……"

Zhu Yunxi had always been wary of Jinyiwei, and he didn't dare to use them, for fear that they would do something that would anger the heavens and the people.

However, after this incident happened, he fully realized that he still needed an intelligence organization in his hands.

"All right!"

"Grandson will ask Erhu to come over and ask!"

Old Zhu shook his head when he heard this.

"Two tigers can't do it!"

"Er Hu is loyal, but he is not ruthless enough, far less straightforward than Jiang Yu."

"You should reuse Jiang Yu and give Jiang Yu a chance to show his loyalty. At the same time, cultivate Chang Sen so that Chang Sen has the ability to replace Jiang Yu at any time."

"If Jiang Yu is valuable, you can let Jiang Yu fight with Chang Sen. Even if Jiang Yu bullies Chang Sen, you can't help Chang Sen even if you get angry with him."

"Conversely, if Jiang Yu loses its use value, then you can summon Chang Sen, as long as you catch up with him, call him third uncle, and he will work hard for you with all his heart!"

Zhu Yunxi's face turned green when he heard it, and he looked forward to Ai Ai's words.

"Grandfather, isn't it a little sinister to do this..."

Seeing that Dasun said that he was insidious, Lao Zhu immediately stretched out his big hand like a cattail fan, and slapped Nisun on the ass.

"presumptuous!"

"We teach you the emperor's mind, how dare you scold us!"

Zhu Yunxi opened the knot in his heart, and immediately felt the pain.Even if Lao Zhu didn't slap his ass, he felt as if his butt was on fire.Now being slapped like this by Lao Zhu, he howled out in pain.

However, when Lao Zhu heard Dasun's wailing, he didn't feel distressed at all, but laughed out loud.

cell next door.

When Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan were in a daze, they couldn't help shivering when they heard their father's owl-like laughter.

"Brother Fifteen, Emperor Father is too cruel. My eldest nephew was beaten sixty times during the day, and his ass was beaten to pieces. Emperor Father still didn't let him go, chasing him to the sky prison and beating him!"

Zhu Zhi heard the words "shh" and said.

"Be quiet!"

"Don't let Father overhear, Father is a narrow-minded person, if he hears us talking, he might run over and beat us up again!"

Zhu Quan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice when he heard the words, and spoke after a while.

"Brother Fifteen, we seem to have lost money this time!"

"Just for 3000 taels of silver, and you've been boarded and imprisoned. After you get out, you have to talk to your eldest nephew and say, don't add money to us this time, and we won't stand up for him in the future!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhi thought about it.

"Ok!"

"You are right, let's not blackmail him, just let him sell our weapons and armor cheaper in the future!"

Zhu Quan could not believe it when he heard the words.

"Brother Fifteen!"

"The eldest nephew was repaired so badly by his grandfather this time, the eldest nephew will not dare to sell weapons and armor privately in the future, right?"

Zhu Zhi hated iron but punched Zhu Quan.

"Are you stupid!"

"How old is the father, and how many years can he live?"

"When the two of us become feudal lords in the future, Daming will have changed his nephew to be the emperor. At that time, the two of us will ask him for more weapons. Is he ashamed not to give them!"

Zhu Quan showed a suddenly realized expression when he heard the words.

"Brother Fifteen thought far ahead, I didn't expect this level..."

Next door to Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan, the two scribes of the Jinyiwei didn't know what to record when they heard the words of the two "Ni Wang".

If this was recorded truthfully and His Majesty saw it, wouldn't King Liao and King Ning be sacrificed to heaven?
When Lao Zhu and Dasun were teaching the art of the emperor's heart, Shi Laigong's house was also a lively scene.

Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu personally led the team, along with several servants and ministers from the Ministry of War to visit.

No matter how you say it, Shi Laigong was beaten for their military department, and he was a great hero of their military department.

"Mr. Shi, you can stay at home to recuperate. Don't worry about the military affairs. The old man will let others take care of you for a while..."

Shi Laigong was quite happy at first, and felt that it was enough face for Ru Yuan to come here in person.

However, after hearing the last sentence, he was so angry that he almost spit on the old man's face!
I was just punched twice by the two princes, why can't I go to work, can't work!
"Master Shangshu, I'm not in any serious health condition, and I can be on duty tomorrow..."

"Ugh!"

"The officer told you to take a break, so you can rest. How can there be so much nonsense!"

"You still have the color on your face now. I am in the court, and I said in front of His Majesty that you were beaten so hard that you couldn't get out of bed. Wouldn't it be difficult for you to be on duty tomorrow? "

Xu Lian and Shao Yongxiang, the servants of the Ministry of War, also rushed to help when they heard the words.

"Shi Langzhong, you can rest easy and recuperate, and leave the affairs of the Ministry of War to other colleagues!"

"Master Department Hall is also very kind, you should accept this kindness!"

Shi Laigong lay on the bed almost cursing.

Wuxuan Division is a serious fat job!

Although most of them had to be distributed to colleagues in the military department, there was still a lot left for him.

Now they take advantage of their "illness" to seize their power!
It can be predicted that even if I get better in the future, I won't be able to get such a good job!
Ru Yu came out from Shi Laigong's house, leaving Xu Lian alone to ask.

"The person who should be dealt with has been dealt with properly?"

"It's all done!"

Ru Yu nodded, then left with her hands behind her back.

It can be said that it is dangerous to frame the emperor's grandson this time.But as long as the beginning and the end are dealt with cleanly, even the emperor will have nothing to do with them.

What's more, the weapons and armor on the carriage are all high-end products from the hydraulic workshop in charge of the emperor's grandson, even if the emperor's grandson wants to deny it.

Only in this way, I can only support others in one way.

Otherwise, the emperor grandson will be the first to cut himself off when he ascends the throne in the future!
Just support who?

Zhu Yunqi or Zhu Di?
Qin Wang Zhu Xi was directly skipped by him. This person's reputation is too bad, and he will not be able to pass this level in the court.

King Zhu of Jin is not good either, he is too emotional, once he finds out that he has framed the grandson of the emperor, he will definitely settle accounts with himself.

Thinking of this, Ru Yuan sighed in her heart.

If it wasn't for the emperor's grandson who was too capable of tossing around, he didn't want to leave anything to others, and he didn't want to fight against the emperor's grandson either.

The Ministry of War has been fed by military equipment for many years, even if the old emperor didn't care, he actually wanted to get in the way, and no one who was the Minister of the Ministry of War would tolerate him!

After Ru Yuan led the crowd away, Shi Laigong, who was lying on the bed, immediately got up from the bed, went to the table and wrote a letter.

After Shi Laigong finished writing the letter, he ordered someone to call the coachman at home.

"This letter is delivered to your master!"

"be quick!"

"Yes!"

Shi Laigong dismissed the driver and looked out the window coldly.

Although he is just a small doctor, he still has a backstage!
The news of Zhu Yunxi's imprisonment quickly spread throughout the country.Even the Prince Qin's Mansion in Xi'an City knew about it two days later.

When Zhu Xi heard that his eldest nephew was imprisoned in the Jinyiwei Prison, he happily ate three bowls of rice and opened a jar of 20-year-old wine to celebrate.

Compared with Zhu Xun's introvertedness, Zhu Xun is much more bold and unrestrained.

In Kaifeng Mansion that night, the trees and silver flowers were full of fire and flowers, and the king of Zhou feasted and danced lightly.

After Zhu Di got the news, he didn't show any joy, because he knew that it was just the old man's blindfold, and he just wanted to weaken Zhu Yunxi's sense of existence so that he would not be too ostentatious.

"Master Yao, Gu lost another general this time!"

Yao Guangxiao took the letter from Zhu Di, and sighed after reading it.

"Wu Xuansi Langzhong is not a high-ranking official, but his position is low and powerful. This loss is indeed a great loss to His Highness!"

"Fortunately, we still have arrangements in Beijing, and the Ministry of War still has some of our chess pieces!"

After Yao Guangxiao finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something.

"Your Highness, why don't you ask the concubine to write a letter to her natal family..."

Zhu Di shook his head when he heard the words.

"No more trouble!"

"Gu's uncle is a loyal and patriotic righteous man, and he will never get involved with a rebellious king like Gu."

"But Xu Zengshou is not bad, he has always been very close to Gu."

"It's just that for some reason, this kid was kicked out of the palace by the old man, and became the commander of a school for the children of workers!"

"Now that I'm foolishly helping Zhu Yunxi's grandson to train soldiers, I'm already a little estranged from Gu..."

Yao Guangxiao also had a headache when he heard this.

Although he claims to be full of wit and tricks, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

The cards in King Yan's hand are indeed too few, leaving him with a dragon-slaying strategy, but he has no chance to use it.

Yao Guangxiao thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Your Highness, there is a good opportunity right now."

"After this incident, the Secretary of the Ministry of War has completely hated His Majesty, and Zhu Yunxie even worse. As long as you throw an olive branch at him, this person will definitely follow him to the death!"

"At the same time, Zhu Yunqi, King Qin, and King Zhou can also use it."

"They are more anxious than His Highness. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, they are the ones who most want Zhu Yunxi to die!"

"We might as well choose one of them to support, no matter whether it is King Qin or Zhu Yunxuan who becomes emperor in the future, it will be much easier to deal with than Zhu Yunxiu!"

Zhu Di thought about it seriously when he heard this.

"Forget it King Zhou!"

"Gu and Zhou Wang's first wife are compatriots, so don't let him get involved."

Mingdong Mausoleum in Zhongshan, Prince Yiwen's Tomb.

Although Zhu Yunxuan lived in a hut above Zhongshan and kept his filial piety, he still paid close attention to what happened in Beijing from time to time.

After learning that Zhu Yunxi had made a big mistake and angered the emperor's grandfather, Zhu Yunqi secretly drank half a jar of wine.

After these few months of hard life, he seemed much calmer, and he was no longer as impetuous as before.

Moreover, since he moved to the mountains, it has become more convenient to contact his cousin, and he no longer has to hide it as before.

When Zhu Yunwen was drunk, he saw a figure flashing, and suddenly there was a figure in the empty Xiangdian.

He didn't even need to look to know who this person was.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before I heard a familiar voice.

"Cousin, you have Jin Yiwei's eyeliner here, you will definitely be noticed by drinking like this."

Zhu Yunwen smiled indifferently.

"Even if Grandpa Huang knew, he wouldn't blame me!"

"Gu can keep the poverty here, which has already made Grandpa Huang look at Gu with admiration."

"Now Gu is only waiting for your good news. As long as you get rid of Zhu Yunxi for Gu, Gu will naturally regain the favor of Grandpa Huang!"

Han Yushang smiled confidently when he heard the words.

"Cousin, don't worry, my cousin is almost ready. Even if she can't be assassinated, she can still lose her favor!"

"Oh?"

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Han Yushang with disdain.

He stayed in Dongling during this period of time, seriously thinking about his gains and losses over the past year, and he was very clear about the gap between himself and Zhu Yunxie.

Grandpa Huang liked Zhu Yunxi for a reason. Zhu Yunxi was more confident, smarter and braver than him.

If he were the grandfather of the emperor, he would also like a good grandson like Zhu Yunxie.

Therefore, he didn't take what Han Yushang said seriously.

Want to disappoint Grandpa Huang to Zhu Yunxi?

difficult!
Difficult to reach the sky!

Han Yushang naturally saw Zhu Yunqi's disbelief, but she didn't explain too much, just took out a piece of paper from her sleeve.

"Cousin, look at this!"

"Duke Ming personally planned this for you!"

When Zhu Yunwen heard the word "King Ming", he instinctively felt disgusted.

In any case, the blood of the Zhu family flows through his body, and he has a natural aversion to the rebellious leader of the White Lotus Sect.

But he still reached out to take the letter paper and looked at it seriously.

Although he didn't like the title "King Ming", he was still very interested in King Ming himself.

This person has been able to flee for so many years under the pursuit of the emperor's grandfather, there must be something extraordinary about him.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the letter with such a mood, and the drunkenness disappeared after just one glance, and he sat up straight involuntarily.

The content of the letter is very short, only a few words.

Zhu Yunxi started a supply and marketing cooperative, seized people's wealth, and bought and sold by force, which has already aroused civil uprisings in many places!
Under the guise of building roads, Zhu Yunxi demolished countless houses, causing the displacement of tens of thousands of people along the line from the capital to Datong...

Zhu Yunxi forced the rural medical center, drove men into the delivery room, and caused a riot among the people in Shangyuan County...

Zhu Yunxi's founding of the Shibo Department has aroused the anger of Jiangnan maritime merchants. They are plotting to deal with Zhu Yunxi and pull him down from the position of emperor grandson.

After Zhu Yunwen watched it, he couldn't believe it.

However, what surprised him was not that Zhu Yunxi caused public outrage, but that he was surprised by Zhu Yunxi's ability.

It turned out that Zhu Yunxie had done so many things during his filial piety!
How did he do that?
Where did he get so many talents available?

Also, what are Jiangnan maritime merchants? Didn't the Ming Dynasty ban the sea for many years and not allow ordinary people to trade with Fanshang?

"Cousin, what's on it..."

Han Yushang smiled lightly when he heard the words.

"The information above is all collected by His Royal Highness Prince Ming for you. It's just for you to see, not for you to file a complaint."

"Don't let me be alone, could it be..."

"Yes, our White Lotus Sect also has people in the court, so there is naturally a way to deliver this news to Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"It's just that the evidence for these things is not very sufficient now, and Zhu Yunxi's mistakes are not very big. Therefore, we just held back and waited quietly for the opportunity."

Zhu Yunwen showed doubts again when he heard the words.

"What should I do to be worthy of my cousin's help?"

"You don't have to do anything!"

"You just need to enter the palace at a specific time and express your filial piety to your grandpa!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunqi finally showed gratitude on his face.

Although he has been conspiring secretly with Han Yushang, he has always been wary of the White Lotus Sect.

It wasn't until he heard what he said just now that he knew that the other party was helping him sincerely, not trying to take over his family's country!
"Thank you cousin!"

"If I become the emperor of Ming Dynasty in the future, I will definitely make the White Lotus Sect the state religion, make you a princess, and make King Ming the great mage who protects the country!"

"However, you'd better change the name of the White Lotus Sect."

"Otherwise, even if Gu doesn't care, the uncles of Gu will object..."

Han Yushang smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"This is all for later, after we help you become the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"

……

In the prison cell, after Lao Zhu taught his eldest grandson a lesson in the art of the emperor, he saw that the environment in the cell was too bad, and he committed his old troubles again.

"Dasun, why don't we move back to the palace..."

Zhu Yunxi was also a little moved when he heard the words, but he couldn't bear to think that there were still two locked up next door.

"Grandpa, are Uncle Fifteen and Uncle Seventeen coming back to the palace together?"

Old Zhu scolded on the spot when he heard this.

"What are those two bastards doing back home, are they pissing us off?"

"Let the two of them stay here, and save yourself from going out to embarrass yourself!"

Zhu Yunxi said with some embarrassment when he heard the words.

"If the two of them don't leave, neither can the grandson."

"The two Uncle Wangs came in because of my affairs, so there's no reason to let me out and lock them up here."

Seeing that Dasun said so, Lao Zhu didn't force it, and after thinking about it, he thought it was good.It can not only make grandson suffer a little bit, improve his memory, but also make those two bastards feel grateful for grandson's kindness, and will do things for him wholeheartedly in the future.

"Since you don't want to leave, it's better to lie down here. We have already asked Hao Wenjie to guard Beizhen Fusi. If you need anything, just let him come over!"

"it is good!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"

When Lao Zhu said this, he wanted to leave at first, but when he thought of what Ni Sun had done without telling him, he sat down again and slapped his butt.

"We almost forgot, please explain to us, what is the matter with the iron plates you sold to your second uncle and fifth uncle!"

"Don't pretend we don't know anything. Although you didn't dare to sell armor blatantly, you sold a lot of iron pieces!"

"There are also iron wire, cowhide and other things!"

"They all ordered people to go by water and sell them secretly, right?"
