Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 169 Report on Mao Xiang, thank you Shiro!Ya!

"Is the empress here?"

Outside the door of Ma Xiuying's bedroom, Mao Xiang whispered to the maid on duty.

"exist."

Mao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "I have something urgent to do, and I need to see my mother right away."

The little maid came out shortly after entering, "Commander Mao, please, Madam."

Mao Xiang stepped inside quickly.

Seeing that the Qin Wang couple and the Jin Wang couple were there, he couldn't help being slightly stunned.

Zhu Chen and Zhu Fang also looked at Mao Xiang curiously.

Mao Xiang's mouth was full of bitterness, he didn't even know if the emperor would be able to pass the test with the empress and the prince protecting him after the emperor knew about it.

At the beginning, it was out of sympathy for Yan Wang and his wife, and this incident was not a big deal.

The queen and the prince both promised at the same time, so he dared to hide it from the emperor until now.

Of course, in fact, he also has his own little thoughts.

Can't say yet, as to success or failure, it depends on this time.

Pressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, Mao Xiang quickly walked towards Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

She also trusts Mao Xiang, but Mao Xiang is Chongba's eyes and ears and rarely comes to see her directly.

"My lady, Jin Yiwei of Tuqiao Village sent a message to Jiangning County yesterday. Today Xu Daya will follow Zhu Silang and take the children to Jiangning County. Xu Daya is going to give birth soon, and I am worried..."

Before Mao Xiang finished speaking, Ma Xiuying had already got up, "Nonsense! How can the fourth child be so nonsense!"

Mao Xiang couldn't help explaining for Zhu Di: "According to the news reported by Jin Yiwei, Xu Daya seems to be a little nervous and anxious when the delivery date is approaching, and she has to be by Zhu Silang's side all the time."

Ma Xiuying's face gradually softened.

She is also a woman who has given birth to several children.

I know the tension of a woman's first pregnancy.

Guanyinnu got up anxiously with a big belly, "Mother, let's go to Jiangning? The fourth brother still has to take the childbirth exam, maybe he can't take care of Miaoyun well."

"Slow down, you're still pregnant." Zhu Xi was frightened and hurriedly helped Guanyinnu.

Jin Wangfei Xie got up, "Mother, why don't I take care of Miaoyun."

Her father and Wei Guogong are both old brothers from Huaixi.

When they were not out of the cabinet, they were close friends in the boudoir.

They are very familiar with each other.

Ma Xiuying was worried, she shook her head and said, "I don't worry about anyone going, Mao Xiang, you come with me."

Jin Wang Zhu Yan reminded: "Empress mother, what should father do if he finds out?"

"It's almost hidden. If he asks, he will say that I will accompany the fourth child to take the children's exam. I really can't fool him. If you know it, you will know."

They kept it a secret for nine months.

Not bad this last month.

After Chongba finds out, he will definitely be very angry and guilty.

It was to make him, a grandfather, feel guilty for the little grandson in girl Miaoyun's stomach!

"Queen, can I go with you?" Guanyinnu cautiously probed.

"No! After giving birth, I will accompany you wherever you want to go, but it is absolutely not possible now. The queen mother promised, but I will not agree!" Zhu Xi overbearingly stopped.

Ma Xiuying watched and stared angrily.

I used to be indifferent to others, but now I am very precious.

Ma Xiuying smiled and comforted her: "This time the second child is right, you all stay in the capital."

……

Soon, Ma Xiuying packed up and left the palace with the little maid in a low-key manner.

But Mao Xiang drove the carriage, and as soon as he left the palace, he ran into Zhu Yuanzhang head-on.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness!" Mao Xiang reined in his horse, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, hurriedly jumped off the carriage, slid his knees, and fell to his knees, "Chen Mao Xiang, pay homage to Your Highness."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a dark face: "Where are you taking the queen?"

Mao Xiang is his eyes and ears.

When did he enter the palace to report the situation, instead of reporting to him first, he went to report to Xiuying instead.

When reprimanding Mao Xiang, there was resentment in his eyes, and he looked at the carriage. When the country was founded, they had agreed that Xiuying was in charge of the palace, and he was in charge of the outside.

Now it is Xiuying who broke the third chapter of the agreement!
Let him seize the opportunity!
Ma Xiuying raised the curtain, just in time to meet Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes full of resentment, and took the lead in attacking, "I didn't break the three chapters of the original agreement."

"I called Mao Xiang to send me to Jiangning County."

"Tomorrow the fourth child will take the child's exam, I want to accompany him, can't I?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed and said: "How old is he! He has a family and a career! You are still with me when I take the childbirth exam. Those six or seven-year-old children in Tuqiao Village have no family to accompany them, so you are not allowed to go!"

"I'm not for you!" Ma Xiuying stared, "Do you still want the fourth brother to come back to help you?"

"If you don't work hard now, let the fourth child feel our desire to be parents. When are you waiting!"

'That's right! '

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help thinking about it.

The fourth child is of the nature of a donkey.

He had to feel that he owed his parents, and this stubborn donkey could only come out to help share his worries when he saw him being disturbed by state affairs.

Blindly toss.

No one knows what this stubborn donkey will do.

"Your son has a stubborn temper, so he followed you!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a dark face, left a word, shook his hands and turned to leave.

Ma Xiuying pointed at herself, and opened her mouth amusedly, for a while, she didn't know what to say.

This man, as long as the fourth child makes him unhappy, the fourth child will become her own son.

Whenever there is a chance to show his face, the fourth child will become his son again!
"Who did the fourth stubborn temper follow? You don't have a clue?" Ma Xiuying smiled angrily and said to herself, "Let's go."

Only then did Mao Xiang come back to his senses.

Feeling weak all over, wiping sweat, he struggled to get up.

With a wry smile, he secretly said: "I'm like this before the incident broke out. I really don't know if that little thought will be able to come true." '

Holding on to the shaft of the chariot, he struggled to sit on it, took a deep breath, and waved his whip, "Drive!"

In the distance, Zhu Yuanzhang hid behind a pillar, secretly watched Ma Xiuying's carriage drive away, and then came out, smiling and muttering as he walked: "In a person's life, being able to marry a good wife is more important than anything else. Very discerning!"

"If there is a good wife in the family, the man will not be raped."

If he didn't have Xiuying, I'm afraid he really wouldn't be able to achieve what he is today.

Zhu Yuanzhang groaned all the way to the outside of the imperial study, and frowned slightly when he saw the inside.

A person, pouting his buttocks, was kneeling in the hall.

Frowning, he walked in, sat down behind the imperial case, and examined the prostrate officials in flying fish suits.

At some point, he waved his hand.

The maids and eunuchs were instructed to leave the imperial study quickly.

Squeak.

The door is closed.

The prostrate person trembled, unable to bear the pressure, his voice trembled, and he took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to Your Majesty."

Jiang Yu, Mao Xiang's right-hand man, and the commander of Jin Yiwei.

"Does Mao Xiang know that you have something to report?" Zhu Yuanzhang stared closely at Jiang Yu.

"This matter is related to the commander, I dare not let the commander know!"

That's a leapfrogging, and it's still a leapfrogging behind Mao Xiang's back. It's very likely that Mao Xiang will be reported.

A cold light flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, "raise your head."

Jiang Yu took a deep breath and slowly raised his head.

A face that looked less like a military general and more like a white-faced literati came into his eyes.

From this face, as well as his eyes, he saw the ambitious desire for fame and fortune.

I am afraid that this Jiang Yu had long wanted to overthrow Mao Xiang and replace him.

Less than 30 years old, he has already achieved command and understanding, and he is still not satisfied.

Mao Xiang is really a waste!

With such an ambitious guy by his side, he didn't realize it?
Didn't notice it?
Or did you notice it, deliberately pretending not to notice it?

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered in his heart, "Say it!"

……

Snapped!
"Tell us again!"

boom!
The maid outside the door, hearing the sound of slapping tables and throwing cups coming from inside, turned pale with fright and trembled uncontrollably.

I don't know how long it took before the sound from inside stopped.

Zhu Biao came with a booklet, saw the pale faces of the maids and eunuchs, glanced into the silent imperial study, and asked gently: "What's wrong?"

A little court lady hurriedly replied in a low voice: "My maidservant doesn't know either, and the commander and acquaintance, Mr. Jiang Yu, are inside to report the matter to His Majesty."

Zhu Biao frowned slightly.

What is Jiang Yu's report?

What about Mao Xiang?
"Father, my son Zhu Biao has something to ask to see Father."

Zhu Yuanzhang was out of breath, with a dark face, and when he heard the movement outside, he glanced at Jiang Yu, "Go down, don't do anything until the end of the Jiangning County Tongsheng Examination."

Jiang Yu was delighted in his heart, and said loudly: "I obey the order!"

After saying that, there was a bang, and after knocking heavily, he stood up and bent over, walked back to the door of the imperial study, and then turned around to open the door.

Immediately saluted Zhu Biao, "Meet the prince."

Zhu Biao passed Jiang Yu and saw the broken teacup in front of the case.

Ok.

Frowning slightly, he hummed lightly and walked in.

Jiang Yu walked out of the imperial study.

Looking up, looking at the bright sun hanging high in the sky in spring, the corners of his lips raised, and he smiled silently.

Inside the imperial study.

Zhu Biao asked while cleaning up the fragments of teacups on the ground, "Father, what happened?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao carefully, and when he heard this, he shook his head with a dark face: "It's nothing."

Zhu Biao couldn't help being slightly surprised.

The emperor even hid it from him?

There had never been such a thing before.

Even the imperial court's papers are handled by him, and the things he really can't decide must be presented to the emperor.

It can be said that he is a prince.

It can make the envious eyes of the princes of all dynasties turn red.

Although Zhu Biao was surprised, he did not continue to ask. Although his father gave him the power of the crown prince without boundaries, as a son of man and a crown prince, he must know how to restrain himself.

Parents' pampering cannot be regarded as the capital of presumptuousness.

Zhu Biao handed the booklet to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, my ministers have selected a group of young officials in Beijing, and they are going to be sent to the localities to serve as county magistrates and county magistrates, who can contact the people and do practical work."

"Hone their abilities, and at the same time, let them not float on top, wasting time in the world of the capital..."

"To be an official, you have to contact the people, and you have to know the sufferings of the people..."

……

Near noon.

A group of large carts slowly approached Jiangning County.

"Is this the county seat?"

"so big!"

"It turns out that the city walls of the county are like this!"

"Brother Dongxu, when we get older, how about we just memorize books and travel around the world like what master and mistress said?"

……

Uncle Ba, who was driving the car, turned to look at his eldest son when he heard about it, "When you grow up, do you want to go out and have a look? If you want to go out and have a look, then go and have a look. Our family's life will definitely get better and better gradually. Tighten your belt, it's for you too."

"Old Ba, my family will also provide!"

"San'er, as long as you do the right thing and follow the right path, even if your parents risk their lives, I will pay for you!"

……

Several other uncles also expressed their opinions after hearing what Eighth Uncle said.

Maybe they didn't understand it before.

But I followed Shiro to the north a few years ago, and I already understood the benefits of traveling thousands of miles.

Since returning from going out last year, even the mother-in-law at home said that they had changed.

Yang Dongxu shook his head, "Father, I want to go out and have a look, but I don't need you to support me. When we are qualified to travel in the world, we must at least be a scholar. With a certificate of a scholar, we can easily go out when we go out." Across the state and across the government."

"At the same time, with the talent certificate, we do short-term jobs in various places, so we don't need local guarantors, and we can still write letters to people."

"..."

"In short, when we have the status of a scholar, as long as we are willing to work, there are many ways to support ourselves."

"Master and mistress have taught us."

Uncle Eight was taken aback.

Haha ...

Immediately, he laughed heartily, smiling, and suddenly his eyes became wet. He hurriedly turned his head away from the children to see, and shouted to Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun in front of him: "Silang, Da Ya, eighth uncle, thank you!"

The people of Tuqiao Village will not be clear about the kindness between Shiro and Da Ya in this life.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun couldn't help smiling when they heard this.

Xu Miaoyun leaned on Zhu Di's back and said in a low voice: "It seems that the children are very yearning for the outside world. Do you want to teach them some martial arts?"

Zhu Di was a little worried.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this problem.

Self-defense, he is too good.

But he also has concerns.

After teaching the child, will the old man be suspicious again?
Will people like Lu Ben and Lan Yu overreact to this?

For him, he is not afraid.

But I'm afraid, these leather children have learned some self-defense skills and are focused on.

"Look again." Zhu Di said in a low voice helplessly.

Uncle Ba can kill people.

He didn't even dare to remind Eighth Uncle to teach the children.

I'm just worried that if I learn it, it will cause unnecessary trouble for the children.

Hearing Zhu Di's sigh, Xu Miaoyun stretched out her hand to touch Zhu Di's ear, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and there will definitely be a solution. If the court doesn't use these children, be on guard against them, and wait for the emperor, mother, and aunt." After a hundred years from Dad, let's take them out of here."

Zhu Di smiled and asked, "Are you thirsty, do you want some water?"

"I want to eat candied haws." Xu Miaoyun smiled.

When she came near the city gate, she couldn't help but think of the scene where the peddler held Shiro's hand and flattered the horse's leg before the New Year's Eve.

Zhu Di smiled angrily and said, "After entering the city, I'll look for it."

"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu..."

At this moment, a shout came from afar.

Zhu Di followed the sound and saw Zhou Shixian waving on the tower, turned around and ran down in a hurry.

When Zhu Di approached the city gate, Zhou Shixian came running out of breath, "Mr. Zhu, just after returning from Tuqiao Village the day before yesterday, Mr. Jiang received a letter from his family. His mother fell ill. Mr. Jiang left in a hurry and returned to his hometown. When you leave, tell me to pick up Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Di frowned slightly.

Fatty Jiang is almost 40 years old.

Jiang's mother must be quite old, and asked: "Is the disease serious?"

Zhou Shixian shook his head.

Zhu Di knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he patted Zhou Shixian on the shoulder, "Get in the car."

Zhou Shixian nodded, saluted Xu Miaoyun first, and then sat on the other side of the chariot.

Just when Zhou Shixian took Zhu Di and his party to Wangxian Tower.

North Gate.

Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi also waited for Mao Xiang.

After seeing Mao Xiang, he hurried up to greet him and whispered something in a low voice.

Mao Xiang nodded, turned around and whispered into the car through the curtain: "Your Majesty, the investigation has been clear. A few days ago, Jiang Jinzhong booked the best inn in Jiangning County, Wangxian Tower, for His Highness and the others."

"Our people also thought of a way to temporarily reserve a room for the empress on the same floor."

"Well, you guys arrange it, this Jiang Jinzhong has a heart."

Listening to the voice coming from inside, Mao Xiang smiled.

Fatty Jiang, I have to say, is really a bit lucky, this matter is done beautifully.

Anyone can tell that the empress has a good impression.

Mao Xiang winked at Xiao Qi.

Xiaoqi left quickly.

Mao Xiang drove into the city...
