Chapter 395 Sincerely Embarrass The Emperor?

Who is the traitor?

When Jiang Yu heard this, his brain exploded.

Does this really need to be said, besides me, Jiang Yu, who else is this traitor!
The grandson of the emperor is asking me to confess!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu kowtowed towards Zhu Yunxi as if mourning.

"Humble job understands!"

"Retire from humble position!"

When Jiang Yu came out of Qianqing Palace, he was just about to go home and write a confession statement, and then found a rope to hang himself, when he saw a little eunuch stumbling over and led him to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Lao Zhu sat on the sofa chair, looked at Jiang Yu who was kneeling below, and said indifferently.

"Then what is Ni Sun planning to do with you?"

When Jiang Yu heard this, his heart skipped a beat again.It turns out that his majesty the Emperor already knew about his petty tricks?

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

"Humble job... humble job is just a moment of confusion, woo woo woo..."

Lao Zhu waved his hands indifferently.

"Go back and find someone to take the blame, and you will stay in Jinyiwei as a commander!"

"what?"

Jiang Yu's face was full of disbelief, and he even doubted his own ears.

His Majesty the Emperor actually forgave him and let him continue to serve as the commander?
However, Lao Zhu didn't have time to talk to him, let alone explain to him.

"get out!"

"Next time you dare to be clever, we'll take your skin off!"

"promise!"

Jiang Yu hurriedly agreed, and then left the palace in a turbulent manner.

Even after returning home, after a long time, he couldn't figure out how he escaped.

But one thing is for sure, that is, the old emperor and the grandson of the emperor are not on the same page!

The emperor's grandson obviously wanted to let himself take the blame, but the old emperor dismissed it. Doesn't it mean that the emperor is dissatisfied with the emperor's grandson?
Although Jiang Yu had 1 question marks in his heart, he couldn't find anyone to ask, so he had to arrange someone to take the blame for him.

The next day, Jiang Yu, the commander of Jinyiwei, wrote a letter saying that there was a clerk in Beizhen Fusi who had a private enmity with Lanyu, so he leaked Lanyu's affairs to the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and framed Lanyu for rebellion...

As soon as this memorial was handed over, it received instructions, and those who framed it were executed.

It's just that the scribe committed suicide early, and Zhan Lijue just cut the air.

Lan Yu's crime of treason has been cleared, but the evidence for conniving servants and servants to oppress goodness, occupy land, and plunder trophies is convincing.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the situation and deprived him of his title and derogated him as a commoner.The rest of Sapphire's party members also followed this example, deprived of all positions, ransacked their homes, confiscated their property, and sent them to the frontier army as slaves.

This punishment is not insignificant, but compared to the previous beheading of the whole family, it is already extremely light.

Through this incident, the military generals in Beijing and China have restrained a lot, and they no longer dare to take risks with their own lives.

At the same time, Zhu Yunxi's reputation of benevolence and righteousness was completely confirmed. When Dingyuanhou Wangbi and others left the capital, they did not forget to bow in the direction of the capital to express their gratitude to the emperor grandson.

Lan Yu returned to the mansion and saw that the "Liang Guogong" plaque on the gate was removed, feeling neither sad nor happy.

Compared to what happened to other brothers, he was considered lucky not to have his home confiscated.

While Lan Yu's wife and concubine were cleaning up the dilapidated mansion, Zhu Bian rushed over with several carts of gifts.

"General Lan is well!"

"His Royal Highness King Jin is well!"

"His Royal Highness, this is..."

Zhu Yan said indifferently.

"I heard that General Lan Zhaoxue, this king specially brought some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, vegetables, rice noodles and other things here, so as to save you the trouble of buying them."

Lan Yu didn't think it was a big deal when she heard this, but Lan Yu's wife hurried out to express her thanks.

"Prince Jin's gift is so timely, I am worried that I don't know where to start packing..."

Although Lan Yu's house was not ransacked, when the evidence was collected before, the Lan House had already been tossed by Jin Yiwei, and all the bottles and jars were smashed.

Then the whole family, old and young, were arrested and imprisoned for several days. The kitchen and other places in the house almost became a rat's nest.

Therefore, the items sent by King Jin are the most suitable, and they are the supplies that their family urgently needs right now.

After hearing the thanks from her mother-in-law, Lan Yu realized how precious King Jin's gift was, and hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

"King Jin stays for a glass of water and wine?"

Zhu Yan laughed.

"Let's go to the palace with me. The aunt of the Lan family will clean up in a serious way all afternoon. Don't even think about lighting a fire and cooking normally in a short time!"

When Madam Lanyu heard this, she quickly persuaded Lanyu.

"Master, you should go to the palace with King Jin to rest for a while, and when you come back in the evening, the mansion will be tidied up."

Lan Yu heard her family say the same, so she had no choice but to follow Zhu Yan to his residence.

The two sat in the carriage, Zhu Bing took Lan Yu's hand and comforted him.

"Uncle, Emperor Father is also angry. After a while, your title will be restored after your anger subsides!"

Zhu Bian was close to the prince, so he followed the prince and called Lan Yu his uncle.

Sapphire shook her head upon hearing this and sighed.

"His Royal Highness King Jin doesn't need to comfort the old man, the old man understands in his heart!"

"If not for His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun to fight with his life, this old man will never be spared this time!"

"Even if the title can be restored in the future, it can only be restored to the old man after the emperor's grandson ascends the throne..."

When Zhu Yan heard this, he felt uncomfortable for a while.

From the point of view of a courtier, he also felt that his father's actions were dishonest, which was a bit chilling.

But from the son's point of view, this is what the father had to do because he wanted to preserve the Zhu family.

But one thing Lan Yu said was right, during his father's lifetime, his title would never be restored.

According to their old man's temper, not cutting him with a single knife is considered a way of saving face.

It's just that the eldest nephew is poor. It is said that his hand is not healed yet, so he was beaten up by the old man.

When the two returned to King Jin's mansion, King Jin immediately ordered someone to clean up a table of food and drink, which was supposed to be a welcome for Lan Yu.

Sapphire is also ready to drink, wanting to get herself drunk.

However, just as the two were pushing cups and changing glasses, a teenager suddenly pushed open the door.

"what!"

"My uncle was really abducted by my third uncle?"

Lan Yu's sad face showed a smile the moment she saw Zhu Yunxi.

Although he suffered a lot of grievances this time, as long as Zhu Yunxi is around, he, Lan Yu, will be able to stand up again one day!
Seeing Zhu Yunxi slipping in, Zhu Yan hurriedly waved to him.

"Come here and have a drink with us!"

Zhu Yunxi moved a stool by himself, and sat on it carefully.

When Sapphire saw him like this, a nervous look immediately appeared on his face.

"What's the matter, Grandpa Nihuang hit you again?"

Zhu Yunxi waved his hands nonchalantly.

"fine!"

"Grandpa Huang didn't beat me hard enough to tickle me!"

Zhu Yan heard the words and joked.

"General Lan, don't worry about him, your nephew is rough and thick!"

Sapphire didn't believe it ten thousand, but said with a straight face.

"Hold out your hand and let us see!"

Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand flamboyantly when he heard the words, Lan Yu was shocked when he saw it.

"It's only been a few days, so it's almost the same?"

"I'm a fairy body, so what's a mere injury?"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking triumphantly, he withdrew his little hand, grabbed the chopsticks on the table, picked up a chicken wing and put it in the bowl, then grabbed and bitten it with his hands.

Seeing that the injury on his nephew's hand healed, Lan Yu was able to gnaw on a chicken wing. She was also in a good mood, and followed Zhu Yunxi's example, grabbed a chicken wing and gnawed on it.

Seeing Lan Yu devouring so much, Zhu Fang finally let go of his hanging heart.

He was really afraid that the old man would not think about it for a while, and he would kill himself by wiping his neck at home.

Zhu Bian looked at his eldest nephew again, and sighed secretly in his heart. He didn't know whether the child was on purpose or not. In short, he was able to come to see Lan Yu, which can be regarded as a great comfort to Lan Yu.

Thinking of this, Zhu Bian hurriedly poured a glass of wine for his eldest nephew.

"Come on, don't focus on eating, you have to learn to drink some wine!"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the wine glass and shook his head directly to refuse.

"Don't drink!"

"I still want to be the longest-lived emperor in history, but I can't be hollowed out by wine and lust!"

When Zhu Yan heard this, he rolled his eyes angrily.

This grandson is too regretful, how can young people not like to drink?
Sapphire is also a little dissatisfied, feeling that she is not manly enough.

In the consciousness of a man like him, a man should drink heavily, and eating a large piece of meat is refreshing.

But when Zhu Yunxi brought up such a reason, it was hard for the two of them to persuade them any more, as if they thought they would not live long.

Although Zhu Yunxi didn't drink, he ordered someone to bring him something to go with the wine.

"Come here, bring me the gift that Gu gave to my uncle!"

"promise!"

Not long after, Wang De came in with a tray on which was a grinning official uniform.

"This?"

Both Zhu Fang and Lan Yu looked at Zhu Yunxi in surprise, not knowing what kind of medicine this child was selling.

"Master Uncle, Grandpa Huang deprived you of the position of Duke, so you should first put on the shark costume of our Wenhua Palace to meet the occasion, to show that I have become the emperor, and then change you into the unicorn costume!"

When Lan Yu heard this, she was so moved that she grabbed Zhu Yunxi's arm, choked up so that she couldn't speak.

"Good boy!"

"If you have this heart, uncle will be satisfied..."

"Uncle, I have also prepared a position for you. I plan to organize an army academy. When will you be free to be the vice principal for me?"

"What?"

With Lan Yu's stunned expression, Zhu Yunxi patted Lan Yu's shoulder and said.

"Uncle, let's make a deal. From now on, you will be the vice president of Jinling Army Academy..."

After Zhu Yunxi forcefully "decided", he wiped his hands and ran away, leaving only Zhu Yan and Lan Yu staring at each other.

"His Royal Highness, what is the Army Academy?"

"do not know!"

"Could it be something like the Imperial College, which specializes in training students for war?"

Although neither of them could tell what the Army Academy was for, Zhu Yunxie's sudden appearance brought new hope to Lan Yu.

This disappointed many people who wanted to see Sapphire's jokes. In their thinking, Sapphire would have to be decadent for a while even if he didn't die this time. No one would have thought that he would start a new life in a shark suit with a smile after only one day .

The incident with Sapphire soon passed, and the imperial court once again became a sophisticated machine, operating perfectly under the control of the engineer Lao Zhu.

"Let the admiral of the Beijing camp, Mei Yin, organize the martial arts field outside the Zhengyang Gate..."

"Let all the vassal kings enter the camp and prepare for the military exercise three days later..."

"Here...bring us that Nisun grandson!"

"promise!"

Not long after, Zhu Yunxi was called over.

"Grandfather, are you still used to living here?"

Old Zhu blushed in embarrassment when he heard this.

"good!"

"Temporarily get used to it!"

"If you are not used to living in Qianqing Palace, you can remodel it according to your own wishes!"

Zhu Yunxi muttered when he heard the words.

"No!"

"In case the reconstruction is beautiful, someone should change with me again!"

Old Zhu rolled his eyes angrily when he heard this, he figured out that this grandson is not very filial even if he is a bit filial.

"We called you here because we have something to tell you!"

"There are three days left before the military exercise. If you mess up for us, we will never let you down!"

Zhu Yunxie never worried about military exercises. The soldiers under him who were trained strictly according to Ji Xiao's new book were enough to beat all the troops of Ming Dynasty.

"Grandfather, don't worry about the military exercise, grandson will definitely make those uncles look good!"

"Grandson just doesn't understand, why do you keep Jiang Yu?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he laughed triumphantly.

"It's not easy, because Jiang Yu has a grudge against Lan Yu!"

"Have a grudge?"

Seeing Dasun's puzzled face, Lao Zhu dragged him to sit on the sofa and explained.

"Employing people should not only use people's advantages, but also use people's shortcomings."

"Jiang Yu is not a big-hearted person, and he loves to hold grudges, which is suitable for restraining courtiers."

"Therefore, we deliberately spared his life this time, just to let him keep watching for you..."

"Oh oh oh..."

Zhu Yunxi suddenly realized when he heard the words.

"understood!"

"My grandson has something to ask. My grandson caught a corrupt official in Suzhou this time, and a small warehouse official embezzled nearly a million taels of silver. You should always help my grandson deal with him!"

"What?"

When Lao Zhu heard that it was such a big corrupt official, he stood up angrily on the spot.

"A petty treasury officer?"

"Yes!"

"Grandson doesn't want to be stained with blood, thank you for your old tricks!"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he ran away, leaving only Lao Zhu stunned in place.

It took Lao Zhu a long time to understand, and he dared to apply what his grandson learned to himself.

What is this, taking advantage of his own weakness of cruelty and bloodthirsty?
However, it's useless for Lao Zhu to settle accounts with that Ni Sun, and that Ni Sun has gone somewhere.

Only then did Lao Zhu realize that he still had business to say!

"Ugh!"

"This Ni Sun, can't you let us finish the sentence..."

"Qin Deshun, go and tell him that there are still a few envoys from foreign vassals in the military exercise in three days' time, let that Ni Sun receive him!"

"promise!"

Qin Deshun hurried to catch up with Zhu Yunxi and told the emperor's will.

……

Outside the palace gate three days later.

Under the leadership of Fang Xian, the minister of Honglu Temple, the Japanese king Fuji Yushou, the Korean Tongzhi Mizhi director Lu Song, the doctor Ruan Zongliang of An Nanguo, and the local official prefect of Siming Prefecture in Guangxi Huang Guangping and other chieftains waited for His Majesty's arrival. summoned.

However, they waited all morning, but they only waited for a teenage boy.

"Keep everyone waiting!"

"Grandpa Huang is not in good health, so I will meet you all by Gu!"

Fuji Youshou and Zhu Yunxie are old acquaintances, but he has bought many scripts from Sanwei Bookstore and supported Zhu Yunxie's business with practical actions.

Moreover, he and Zhu Yunxi had a bond of going out to sea on the same boat, and now seeing that it was Zhu Yunxi who came to receive them, he seemed very excited.

Others were quite unfamiliar with Zhu Yunxi, even if they were personally introduced by Honglu Temple Minister, their eyes still showed the meaning of searching.

Lu Song, a fellow acquaintance of North Korea, looked at Zhu Yunxi with contempt.

Although the country name of North Korea was only decided in Dongyue last year, their king of North Korea, Li Chenggui, still dare not call himself a king, and wants to claim power in front of Daming, Li Chenggui, who knows the state affairs, but this does not prevent him from looking at Daming's empress dowager Sun, even felt contempt in his heart.

Since he entered Daming, he has heard a lot of ridiculous things about the grandson of the emperor.

What kind of grandson of the emperor is engaged in the lowly business of merchants, bullying widowed mothers and concubine brothers, instigating uncles to destroy all the princes and concubines, and so on.

In short, in his eyes, he has long compared Zhu Yunxi to the Second Emperor of Qin, and he also believes in private that the Ming Dynasty is destined to perish under the Second Emperor.

Based on this thought, he was not so respectful when he treated Daming and the grandson of the Emperor of Ming.

Of course, this is not just his personal thoughts. Li Chenggui, the acting king of North Korea, also thinks the same way.

While professing his vassal to Daming, he secretly mobilized his troops, planning to gnaw off a piece of meat from Daming's body.

Before he came to Daming this time, Li Chenggui, the acting king of North Korea, had just accepted five hundred Jurchens and planned to swim across the Yalu River secretly to seize the land in Liaodong.

If there were no accidents, Daming would have received the military report from the Liaodong defender in a few days, right?
When Lu Song thought this way, the other southwestern chieftains looked at Zhu Yunxi with a lot of unkind eyes.

It's not that they have disobedience, it's that Zhu Yunxi is too young, so young that he doesn't feel safe at all.

Moreover, there is a pure smile on his face, which does not look majestic at all, and it is difficult to make people feel awe.

Relatively speaking, the old emperor is much more majestic.As long as he sat there, without saying a word, it would make people feel cold under their feet, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

Several female chieftains from the Southwest giggled when they saw that the grandson of the Ming Emperor was still a handsome young man.

Shexiang, the daughter of the chieftain of the West, laughed the loudest. If it weren't for the constant coughing of Qing Fangxian of Honglu Temple, Shexiang would probably have bent over laughing.

Zhu Yunxi also noticed this girl covered in silver ornaments, seeing her laughing so loudly, she couldn't help stepping forward to ask.

"This little beauty, why is she laughing so loudly?"

Extravagant fragrance and quick talk, upon hearing Zhu Yunxie's question, he immediately answered honestly.

"I'm laughing at your youth!"

"The emperor of Daming is such a dignified and dignified person, but the successor of Daming is so young, can he bear the great power of Daming?"

As soon as Shexiang's words uttered, Honglu Temple Qing Fangxian's face turned pale with fright.

In principle, he, the Minister of Honghe Temple, was responsible for teaching the etiquette of the envoys of the vassal states.

Now the daughter of the chieftain of the west is so rude, mocking the emperor's grandson for being young in front of the emperor's grandson, this is a crime of losing his head!

"Emperor grandson forgive me!"

"Xi Nv Chieftain is so young, she speaks disrespectfully, and I hope you will forgive him for his contempt!"

As soon as Fang Xian's words came out, everyone stared at Zhu Yunxie, wanting to see how the future Emperor of Ming would handle this matter.

In fact, although extravagant fragrance's words are a little too much, they are the voice of their hearts.

Although they surrendered to Daming in name, they never truly surrendered.

In their view, the emperors of the central dynasty only knew how to bully them and make them pay tribute, but never protected them, let alone gave them any benefits.

Based on this, they also very much hope that there will be a weak emperor in Ming Dynasty, so that they can break away from Ming's control and regain their former freedom.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Fang Xian who was kneeling on the ground, smiled and stepped forward to help him up.

"Master Fang is free!"

"It's the female chieftain who made the rude remarks. What does it have to do with you, the minister of Honglu Temple?"

"Furthermore, this female chieftain is not disrespectful, she's just telling the truth!"

"This beautiful female chieftain, if you also say that Gu looks young after 60 years, then Gu will be very happy!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard Zhu Yunxi's joke.In the roar of laughter, the untimely extravagant fragrance was also diluted.

Gao Li's fellow acquaintance Lu Song also laughed along with the crowd, but after laughing, he became more wary of the young grandson of the emperor in front of him.

This person looks young, but his thinking is very quick, so simple to resolve the embarrassment, it can be seen that he is an extremely smart person!

Shexiang blushed a little shyly after Zhu Yunxi praised her beauty twice.

"Thank you for the compliment from the grandson of the emperor, I am ashamed to accept it!"

Wang De at the side looked at Shexiang, then at the emperor's grandson, wondering in his heart, did his own emperor's grandson take a fancy to this little girl?
This little girl's background is not very good, the daughter of the southwestern chieftain, she is not worthy of her highness!

If His Majesty the Emperor knew about it, wouldn't this little chieftain woman disappear from the world?

The more Wang De thought about it, the more likely it was that this group of chieftains were domineering in the local area, driving the people under their rule like cattle and horses.But in the eyes of the Ming emperor, it is no different from a flea.

If they annoy the old emperor, the old emperor can kill them with a single order.

This time Zhu Yunxi came to entertain the envoys on behalf of the emperor's grandfather, and took them to the city wall to have a look at the military equipment of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after exchanging pleasantries, he took them directly to the city wall on Zhengyang Gate.

"Everyone, please come with me!"

"Today is my Ming Dynasty's once-a-year military exercise, and you all just got to see my Ming Dynasty's military equipment!"

When all the foreign envoys heard this, meaningful smiles appeared on their faces.

This is also the routine operation of big countries. Every time they have a military exercise, they will be pulled out to have a look, and let them praise the might and majesty of the Ming Dynasty's armored soldiers.

To put it bluntly, it was to show them their strength and tell them to be honest and not to offend Daming easily.

However, there are also those who participated for the first time this year.For example, Lu Song in North Korea, and Ruan Zongliang in Annan.

North Korea was not long after its founding, and it caught up with the Ming Dynasty mourning last year and suspended military exercises.Ruan Zongliang from Annan, on the other hand, was purely because the mountains were high and the roads were far away, so it was too inconvenient to go back and forth. He just happened to catch up once this year.

When Zhu Yunxi led a few people up the city wall, the city wall was already full of civil and military officials who came to watch the ceremony.

Lao Zhu even sat on the top of the city gate and fell asleep, waiting for the auspicious time to start the military exercise.

The location arranged by the Ministry of Rites for Zhu Yunxi is on the east side of the gate tower, next to the gate tower.

After the grandson climbed the city wall, Lao Zhu took a special look in the direction of the grandson, seeing the grandson chatting and laughing with the envoys, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

This grandson is doing well!
No stage fright!

The reason why Lao Zhu asked Dasun to entertain the foreign envoys was because he wanted to experience Dasun a little bit, and secondly, he was tired of these hypocritical politeness.

Even though he is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, he doesn't need to look at anyone's face.But people travel all the way to pay tribute, you can't show face to others, right?
It can be said that it is not good to be too cold, and it is even worse to be too enthusiastic. It is difficult to grasp this scale.

Relatively speaking, it would be much better for the crown prince or grandson to entertain him. No matter what he said or did wrong, it would not affect the majesty of the emperor, and it would also give the foreign envoys face.

However, just as Lao Zhu was secretly looking at Dasun, there was a sudden commotion in the army formation under the city wall.

When Lao Zhu heard the commotion below, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Was there a riot during the military exercise, or was it in front of so many envoys from foreign vassals, did he sincerely embarrass the emperor?

"Come on!"

"Behead the officer making trouble!"

"promise!"
