Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 256

When Zhu Di saw Xia Xun, he couldn't help wondering, "Yang Xu, why are you here?"

Xia Xun said: "I have finished investigating and arresting the officials of the palace, and I am about to return to Beijing. Just now, there are all the adults here, and the ministers are humble and inconvenient. I ask your Highness to forgive me. Since your Highness is going back to Beijing , the minister happened to go with him."

Xia Xun smiled lightly, and said: "Going with the prince, the minister will save money on meals and store money, and take advantage of the prince, will the prince not be offended?"

Zhu Di's heart warmed, but he straightened his face and said: "Is this king's advantage so easy to take advantage of? Nowadays, people in the world regard me, Zhu Di, like a plague. You, Yang Xu, are not an iron king, aren't you afraid?"

Xia Xun said solemnly: "I just feel that justice is at ease in people's hearts, the prince is upright, loves himself, and has never done anything wrong. If he goes here, he will be blessed by God, and there will be no danger! The current difficulties are nothing, as the saying goes It's good: the tiger is not lying in the road, and the dragon will go to the sky."

Zhu Di, who was feeling that the dragon was trapped in the shoal and was being played by shrimps, felt a jangling in his heart when he heard this, pointed at Xia Xun, and sighed to Concubine Xu and his three sons: "This kind of person is a man of integrity! "

King Yan returned to the capital, and this incident immediately caused a sensation in the entire capital, the common people, officials and gentry, all whispered and talked about it.

In fact, the news that King Yan would come to Nanjing to pay homage to Xiaoling Mausoleum had already caused a sensation in the capital.

King Yan's desire to return to the capital was originally extremely confidential news, and only some ministers in the central government knew about it, but the strange thing is that the memorial of King Yan's return was sent to Emperor Jianwen on the third day before the imperial case. word spread.There are even some gamblers who opened an underground gambling table, betting on whether the King of Yan will really come to Nanjing, because the emperor's intention to cut down the vassal has been known all over the world, and King Yan is a well-known emperor It is unimaginable that he dared to come, the one he wanted to get rid of the most.

However, he actually came.

For a while, there were more people laughing like lunatics on the streets of Nanjing. These were the people who took a risk to bet on King Yan and became rich overnight.

……

The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is old.At sunrise, the river is as green as blue.Can you not remember Jiangnan?

Crossing the Yangtze River by boat, Zhu Di supported the side of the boat, watching the mighty water of the Yangtze River heading east, with jidang in his heart.After crossing the Yangtze River and boarding Yanziji, even though Zhu Dijiu led the army and guarded the frontier to defend against the enemy, his heart was as hard as a stone, and he was resolute and resolute, and he couldn't help crying.When he came back this time, his mood was different from any other time. When he came last time, his father was still alive, but now, his voice and smile are still there. He had always been proud and arrogant, so he had no choice but to go to Jinling in person, bow his head along his brows, to prove his innocence.This time, he came here full of anxiety, humiliation, and grief, how could he not have mixed feelings.

For Zhu Di's arrival, Zhu Yunqi and his confidant ministers were also very surprised, but Zhu Di came, this is an indisputable fact, Zhu Yunqi had no choice but to put aside all suspicions, first send someone to pick him up according to the rules, anyway, he arrived at his own territory Son, don't be afraid that he will go to the sky and look back to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.

Zhu Di is the uncle of the emperor and the oldest member of the royal family. Although Zhu Yunwen is a nephew, he is still the emperor. He does not need to greet him in person, so he sent King An Zhu Ying to lead the children of the royal family to the riverside to greet him.Zhu Ying is just 16 years old this year. He is the 22nd son of Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine. He was named King An in the 24th year of Hongwu.

Zhu Ying took the royal family to welcome Yanziji, and saw this brother Wang who had only met a few times when he was young, and now he only vaguely remembered him. There was a kind of majesty of a dragon and a tiger, and a sense of awe was born spontaneously. He hurriedly led the crowd to meet him, and after a chatter, he boarded the chariot with the king of Yan and rode back to Beijing together.

Along the way, the common people took to the streets one after another to see the bold demeanor of King Yan. The street was bustling with crowds of people. The scene was as lively as the night of watching the lanterns and the moon during the Lantern Festival a few days ago. o. The disciples who are rubbing their hands on the big girl and the little daughter-in-law are also like a fish in water, so uncomfortable.

"Don't chase swallows, you will fly high if you chase swallows, fly high to God! Don't chase swallows, you will fly high if you chase swallows, fly high to God!"

In the crowd, a tattered Taoist priest clapped his hands frantically and sang a nursery rhyme he heard from nowhere, laughing and passing by, wearing a pair of worn shoes.When Xia Xun heard this nursery rhyme, her body was shocked, and she immediately looked up, staring at the man closely.He knew this nursery rhyme, and he knew it a long time ago. Among the stories that vividly describe the rebellion of King Yan, this song has a place in the lyrics.It is said that this was a nursery rhyme that King Yan sang in the capital to create momentum for himself when he planned to rebel. It didn't take long for it to come true, and Zhu Di really rebelled.

This crazy Taoist really has such supernatural powers?

Xia Xun stared at the crazy Taoist's actions closely, and was about to pick up his horse to chase after him. When he found out, he saw that the crazy Taoist had been driven away by the police patrolling the street to maintain order. When the young gentleman passed by, the young gentleman stretched out his hand, holding two precious banknotes between his fingers, and the mad Taoist grabbed them into his palm.This action was fast and secretive, but Xia Xun sat on the horse condescendingly, and had noticed the mad Taoist long ago, but he could see it clearly.

The mad Taoist walked away giggling, walked to a distance, and started singing again.The young man who had just handed him the money raised his head slightly, looked at the king of honor with a faint smile, turned around and pushed away the passers-by who were watching.The young man in blue was wearing a wide-brimmed hat, which was lowered to the brow, so that people could not see his face clearly, but when he raised his head slightly and looked at the guard of honor of King Yan, Xia Xun, who was accompanying the team, saw clearly .This man has red teeth and white teeth, and is as handsome as a virgin. He is actually Liu Yujue.

"I see!"

Xia Xun suddenly realized that Xiao Qianyue made rumors that King Yan was about to rebel in Beiping, and Yu Jue was acting in Nanjing. The two echoed each other from the south to the north. It turned out that this was all a trick played by Jin Yiwei.King Yan has just returned to Beijing. If someone listens to this ballad and analyzes it for a while, they will be able to understand its meaning. How could the emperor not be murderous?

That's it, no wonder in those stories about King Yan's ambitions for a long time, he talked about how King Yan pretended to be crazy to hide his rebellion, how he made weapons in the palace, and bought some geese to cover up the time of making weapons. Voice, at the same time said that King Yan was in South Computer] Visiting ~ Asking Beijing University to create public opinion and create an image of himself as the one who is destined to be the right man. There is some contradiction between the two carefully tasted.It turned out that it was because Zhu Di didn't want the emperor to kill his ministers, so he didn't conform to the orthodox values ​​of Confucianism, and was misinterpreted maliciously by those pens.

Zhu Di, who was driving with An Wang and Zhu Ying, also heard the singing. He didn't pay attention to it at first. He only felt that the words and sentences of this nursery rhyme were elegant, not as vulgar as ordinary slang nursery rhymes. Artistic conception and philosophy, birds perch on the branches, forage in the grass, and roam freely, but if people chase them, they will fly high, high..."

Zhu Dipin took a smack, and suddenly his face changed drastically: "Don't chase swallows, you will fly high if you chase swallows, and fly high! What does this mean? Is it just a nursery rhyme describing birds foraging and people catching birds?" ? I have just set foot in the capital, and there are such songs on the streets. Once they are used by someone with a heart, the emperor..."

Zhu Di was apprehensive, and then looked into the crowd. The mad Taoist had disappeared, and Zhu Di's palms were already sweating, but after a moment of panic, he quickly calmed down: "This time, returning to Beijing is a narrow escape. In such a situation, it’s strange that those thieves don’t use their methods. No matter what methods you use, you can shoot openly and covertly, I, Zhu Di, have my own rules, just let the horse come here!”

Zhu Di had made up his mind, and a sneer that made his heart palpitate slowly formed at the corner of his mouth.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Brother Huang, the morning court is over, we have no time to see you today, shall we go to the east ear room to rest?"

According to the rules, Zhu Di had to talk to Emperor Jianwen about the rites of the emperor and ministers first, and then he could talk about the feelings of uncle and nephew. Therefore, he should first enter the court as a vassal king, because today has passed the early court, and even though he is in Beijing, he still has his own. The mansion, however, cannot go back today, and has to temporarily stay in the ear room of the Dongzhimen outside the Fengtianmen, and will be free only after meeting the court tomorrow morning.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "No, let's not enter the imperial city yet, but take a walk in the city. I want to see Jinling. It's been a long time."

King An was a little surprised, but he was a 16-year-old boy, how could he have any opinions? When he heard that his elder brother, who looked as majestic as his father, made him feel a little scared when he looked at him, he gave orders, and he quickly agreed, and the guard of honor went around Jinling The inner city, let’s walk around in Nanjing.

After this walk, many citizens heard the news and came to watch King Yan enter the city. It was bustling and bustling.After he had visited all the busiest and busiest urban areas, and had circled half a circle around the imperial city, Zhu Di suddenly ordered: "Go out from Chaoyangmen and climb Zhongshan Mountain. For my brother, you must first go to Xiaoling Mausoleum to pay homage to the late emperor's mausoleum."

"Brother..."

King An didn't expect King Yan to make such a decision suddenly. This itinerary was not in the emperor's order, so he hesitated a little.

"Ok?"

Zhu Di glanced at him coldly. Zhu Di's appearance was similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's. Originally, his thick eyebrows gave him an aura of calmness and prestige. Such a murderous look on the battlefield, Wang An is like a canary raised in a comfortable nest, who has seen such a demeanor before, he gave him a cold glance, panicked in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "Ah! Good, good, Let's go to Xiaoling."

Xia Xun followed King Yan's car for a while, thinking that King Yan should go to the imperial city for a while to wait, and was about to ride the horse back to the Jinyiwei Yamen to report to Lord Luo, when he suddenly saw the guard of honor of King Yan coming to Chaoyangmen Go, upon inquiring, Xia Xun couldn't help being a little surprised that he was going to pay homage to the tomb of the late emperor.

He had a low position, and he had no chance to accompany Zhu Yuanzhang to his funeral last time. Thinking of that impressive old man, Xia Xun couldn't help but feel a little sentimental in his heart: "Since King Yan wants to pay homage to the tomb of the late emperor, why don't I go too? Let's pay homage to the emperor who expelled the Tartars and restored our Han Dynasty!"

As soon as Xia Xun lifted the reins, he followed Yan Wang's ceremonial guard out of Chaoyang Gate and headed for Xiaoling Mausoleum in Zhongshan!
