The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 328 Meeting Yin Zhong (4000 words)
"I'll spank you then." Zhu Houzhao said seriously.

Yin Tianxue's pretty face turned red, and she couldn't help but glare at Zhu Houzhao.

This touch of shyness in the coldness and tranquility made Zhu Houzhao feel that "my wife is so beautiful".

"Your Majesty, if you want to arrest Yin Zhong, it is best to let him come to the capital first. This is the safest way." Yin Tianxue calmed his mind, stopped thinking about the punishment, and said solemnly.

"Is this Yin Zhong really that powerful?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate Yin Zhong. I always feel that this person is very secretive." Yin Tianxue said seriously.

"Okay then, let Yin Zhong come to Beijing first so that we can confront him face to face. If there is any problem, I will personally take him down." Zhu Houzhao agreed.

"Yeah." Yin Tianxue nodded happily. In her opinion, this was the best way.

She had enough confidence in her man. No matter how deeply Yin Zhong hid, it would be useless in front of her man.

“Your Majesty, if you want to confront me face to face, it would be better to let my father and brother come to the capital as well. Then they will be more convinced.

The excuse is that Your Majesty wants to meet my family.

In this way, Yin Zhong will not have any doubts and will go directly to Beijing. "Yin Tianxue suggested, obviously having thought it through long ago.

"Okay, it happens that I haven't met my father-in-law, and you haven't seen him for several years. It's time for our family to meet him." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yin Tianxue said softly with emotion.

"What's there to thank me for?" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Then he said seriously: "But punishment is still necessary. I will clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments and will never show favoritism."

"Your Majesty~!" Yin Tianxue said angrily.

Without saying anything more, Yin Tianxue left.

An informal letter was also sent to Yu Jian Villa in Shu and the Huguang Martial Arts Branch Hall.

Let Yin Hao, Yin Tianqi and his son, and Yin Zhong come to Beijing.

After sending the letter, Zhu Houzhao put the matter aside and continued to be busy with state affairs.

On this side, Yin Tianxue, who had endured for several years, finally revealed the secret and got a solution. He was extremely happy and relieved.

To calm down, she asked someone to call Yin Tianchou.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty harem, it was actually very difficult for concubines to meet outsiders.

But for Zhu Houzhao, he obviously didn't care about any rules.

In addition, most of the women have responsibilities and can often summon outsiders. However, those who enter the palace will be inspected and strictly registered.

More than an hour later, a young man, led by a eunuch, entered Yin Tianxue's palace.

"Sister." Yin Tianchou bowed.

"Tianchou." Yin Tianxue waved away all the eunuchs and palace maids, and said in a gentle and friendly manner, "I have already told His Majesty frankly, and His Majesty will summon Yin Zhong, father, and elder brother to the capital soon.

We will confront each other face to face then.”

"Really!" Yin Tianchou's face lit up with joy.

"Yeah." Yin Tianxue nodded with a smile.

"That's great! That's great!" Yin Tianchou clenched his fists, his face excited.

Yin Tianxue looked at her cousin with some distress.

Although he is her cousin, after these two years of contact, he has become her biological brother in her heart.

I also know how lonely and difficult Yin Tianchou's life has been over the years.

“When I suggested to Your Majesty that Yin Zhong be appointed as the head of the Huguang Martial Arts Branch Hall, I wanted Yin Zhong to mistakenly believe that Your Majesty valued Yu Jian Villa and wanted to make use of it.

This time, I ask Your Majesty to summon my father, eldest brother, and Yin Zhong to the capital in the name of a family meeting.

Yin Zhongding would think that this meant that Yu Jian Villa was to be further utilized, and he would definitely not run away.

As long as he enters the capital and exposes his false face in front of Your Majesty, he will not be able to escape.

By then, all hatred will be resolved." Yin Tianxue patted Yin Tianchou's shoulder and comforted him.

"Yeah." Yin Tianchou came back to his senses, nodded heavily, and asked impatiently: "Sister, what should I do now?"

“There are only two things you need to do now.

First, stay calm and avoid unnecessary trouble before Yin Zhong arrives in Beijing.

Second, when my father and elder brother go to Beijing, they will definitely not bring Butler Li with them.

You have to go to Yu Jian Villa, and after your father and elder brother leave, bring Butler Li to the capital.

With the evidence from Butler Li, it will be easier to expose Yin Zhong's true colors." Yin Tianxue said seriously.

“Okay.” Yin Tianchou nodded, suppressing his excited smile and said, “Revenge is imminent, I will definitely stay calm.

After leaving the palace, I will go back to Yujian Villa and bring my uncle here."

"Remember, be careful. If you encounter any problems, take this to the factory guards for help." Yin Tianxue said, taking out an identity plate.

This identity badge is half the size of a palm, gold-white in color, and is made with extremely exquisite and noble workmanship.

It records Yin Tianxue's identity and name.

This is the token that best proves the identity of the concubines in the harem, except for their personal seals.

In fact, this kind of identity card is also a kind of new policy. All citizens of the Ming Dynasty who have registered will be issued an identity card as the most important proof of personal identity.

However, the identity plates of ordinary people are relatively simple. Most of them are just a small book that records their identity, name, age, address, etc.

"Don't worry, sister. I understand." Yin Tianxue took it and nodded.

After a while, Yin Tianchou left the palace, made some preparations, and went straight to Yujian Villa.

···
About three days later.

In the Huguang Martial Arts Branch, a middle-aged man with a domineering and gloomy temperament received a letter from the capital.

This person is naturally Yin Zhong.

After reading the letter, he couldn't help but frowned deeply.

'Let's meet the family!'

'What is Tianxue planning?
Or does Zhu Houzhao want to further utilize Yujian Villa?'

"It is possible. With Tianxue's relationship, it is normal for Zhu Houzhao to want to use Yujian Villa."

After his thoughts turned to this point, Yin Zhong's expression did not relax at all. Instead, impatience and deep fear appeared between his brows.

If possible, he didn't want to have any contact with the Ming court and bring trouble upon himself.

Especially the current court and Emperor Shengwu.

He felt it was extremely dangerous.

But there was no other way. After hesitating for a while, he still prepared to go to Beijing.

He doesn't need to rush, as Yin Hao and his son, who are far away in Yujian Villa, will also come to Beijing. He just needs to control the time and go to Beijing together.

This would also prevent him from meeting Zhu Houzhao alone too often.

At that time, push Yin Hao to the front, and let him speak less, as the grand master of Yu Jian Villa will be enough.

Thinking of this, Yin Zhong felt a little more relieved.

About a day later, Yin Hao and his son at Yu Jian Villa also received the letter.

The two of them didn't think too much about it. After some discussion, they happily prepared to go to Beijing.

····
Mid-February (the time in the previous chapter was written wrong, February was written as January).

The Yin family was still on their way to Beijing, and the war atmosphere in the world was rising again.

The Mongol army once again approached the border of the Sui Dynasty.

They became even more aggressive.

A war that was destined to be more brutal than last year was about to begin, and it naturally attracted the attention of all countries in the world.

Yin Hao and his son rode at full speed and arrived in the capital.

After communicating with each other, Yin Zhong arrived in the capital on the same day.

"Second brother, do you know why His Majesty summoned us to the capital this time?" Yin Hao said seriously in the mansion of Yu Jian Villa in the capital.

"What do you think, brother?" Yin Zhong smiled calmly.

"I've been thinking about it these days, and perhaps because of Tianxue, His Majesty wants to make further use of my Yujian Villa." Yin Hao said frankly.

"Yeah." Yin Zhong nodded, looking quite agreeable.

"Second brother, His Majesty is willing to trust me at Yu Jian Villa, this is a good thing.

However, for hundreds of years, my Yujian Villa has never been involved in court affairs.

Second brother, we still can't agree to some things at that time." Yin Hao looked at Yin Zhong seriously and said meaningfully.

Yin Zhong naturally understood and was quite satisfied, as this was the same as his idea.

Stay away from the Ming Dynasty court and Emperor Shengwu.

"Brother, what you said is very true, I understand.

You know, if it weren't for the imperial edict, and it was difficult to refuse, I wouldn't want to be the head of the martial arts branch hall." Yin Zhong affirmed.

"That's good." Yin Hao said happily: "I have asked Tianqi to ask for instructions. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to enter the palace to see His Majesty in the next two days."

As he spoke, his brows showed a hint of even more happiness.

He was not happy to see Emperor Shengwu, but happy to see his daughter.

But he won't say these.

Not long after, Yin Tianqi came back and brought news.

Your Majesty will meet them at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow morning.

"So fast!" Yin Hao smiled, feeling satisfied.

Meeting him so soon proves that the 'son-in-law' cares about his daughter and Yu Jian Villa.

There was a barely noticeable hint of vacancy in Yin Zhong's eyes, not because he had thought of something, but because he felt fear instinctively.

This Emperor Shengwu was a monster he had never heard of or seen even though he had lived for hundreds of years.

Still in the imperial palace, everyone knows that besides Emperor Shengwu, there are two or three celestial beings living in the palace.

If he had no other choice, he would never enter such a dangerous place.

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

Qianqing Palace.

Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao, who was waiting for the Yin family, had a flash of eyes and looked outside the Qianqing Palace.

A touch of surprise and high interest emerged. After thinking for a while, he transmitted a message, stood up and said to Yin Tianxue and the two people she brought with her: "Let's go out and meet them."

"Your Majesty!" Yin Tianxue was puzzled.

"This place is too small, and I won't be able to free my hands for a while." Zhu Houzhao said with great excitement and fighting spirit.

Yin Tianxue was so smart that his heart suddenly tightened and he said in shock: "Your Majesty, could it be that Yin Zhong's strength...?"

"Hahaha, it's okay. Everything is under my control." Zhu Houzhao laughed and walked out first, a little impatiently.

The shock on Yin Tianxue's face could not be erased, and there was even some disbelief.

Yin Zhong’s strength is actually...how is it possible?

But she knew her husband better. If he had not reached that level, how could he have asked His Majesty to go out and meet him specially?
Who is Yin Zhong?

Why is such strength in the Yin family?
Yin Tianxue's emotions were up and down and she couldn't calm down.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think too much. He followed Yin Tianchou, who looked puzzled, and an old man, and went out.

On the large square outside the Qianqing Palace.

Led by a eunuch, Yin Zhong, Yin Hao and Yin Tianqi were heading towards the Qianqing Palace.

Then I saw a very burly figure walking towards me with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, carrying an infinite domineering and heroic aura.

Following behind him was Yin Tianxue, a young man, and Butler Li!

Yin Hao and the other two were shocked. Why was Butler Li in the palace?

Yin Zhong, in particular, instinctively felt a sense of foreboding.

But as the figure approached closer and closer, he suppressed all his impulses.

Because he has already felt the fatal oppression.

Zhu Houzhao’s strength!

Waves of fear rose in my heart.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The voices of Yin Hao and Yin Tianqi's salutes interrupted Yin Zhong's shock, and he quickly followed suit.

"Father-in-law, brother-in-law, you're welcome, no need to be polite." Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and said generously.

Yin Hao immediately felt happy and felt good.

This was not the first time Yin Tianqi had met Zhu Houzhao, but when he heard this title, he couldn't help feeling awkward and flattered.

When the two men received the gifts, they were surprised again because the emperor was looking at his second brother (second uncle) with great interest.

"Your Majesty, this is..." Yin Hao couldn't help but wonder.

"Dad, big brother." Yin Tianxue stepped forward and spoke.

Yin Hao looked over quickly, his eyes flashing with excitement. Yin Tianqi was fine. He had come to Beijing for a few days in the past few years.

"Dad, His Majesty has something to discuss with my second uncle. Let's go aside first." Without waiting for Yin Hao and Yin Tianqi to say anything, Yin Tianxue spoke first and pulled the two of them aside.

Yin Hao and the other two were confused, but the emperor was here, so they followed Yin Tianxue step by step and walked behind the emperor.

Yin Zhong's heart was in turmoil. He knew that something had happened.

Zhu Houzhao is targeting him, Yin Tianxue is guarding against him and protecting Yin Hao and Yin Tianqi, plus Butler Li who shouldn't be here.

How could he not understand that Yin Tianxue might have set a trap for him, and Zhu Houzhao might have discovered his true strength.

His fingers moved subconsciously, not wanting to sit there and wait for death.

But it was only for a moment, and the feeling of being stared at by a prehistoric giant beast arose spontaneously.

It seemed that if he dared to move, he would die.

Thinking of the injuries on his body, he endured it, a look of doubt appeared on his face, and he still maintained the posture of saluting.

An abnormal atmosphere spread, and everyone present felt that something was wrong.

They looked at the emperor, then at Yin Zhong who was still bowing, and especially Yin Hao and his son, were deeply puzzled.

At this time, Yin Tianxue, who had brought her father and elder brother to her husband, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He called out, "Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao, who was deeply aware of Yin Zhong's situation, suddenly sensed something and said in surprise: "You are injured, this power is so strange.

I have never seen such power. It doesn't seem to be the power of martial arts, but it is very strong and wonderful.

No wonder you are still entangled by this power and cannot get rid of it even though you are in the state of heaven and man. "

Suddenly, Yin Hao and his son, Yin Tianchou, and Butler Li all looked incredulous and were horrified.

Even Yin Tianxue and Wei Jinzhong, who had been following and guessing, could not remain calm.

It turned out to be true.

The realm of heaven and man!
