After Queen Ma greeted the onlookers to disperse,
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Xiongying, and Zhu Yunxi, their ancestors and grandsons, were immediately preparing to have lunch at Xianning Palace.
Feeling Jiang Wei looking at him, Zhu Xiongying hesitated and signaled his grandfather and younger brother to go over first.
Then he walked towards Jiang Wei,
whispered,
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yuchen reported,
"Your Highness, Liu Sanwu is dead."
"died?"
Zhu Xiongying raised his eyebrows flatly, a little surprised, why Liu Sanwu died now.
After Liu Sanwu was thrown back to Jiangnan, his life was extremely miserable. He had no financial support from the Jiangnan gentry and was criticized by students from the north and the south.
The money and fame are gone,
I originally wanted to see if I could learn some secrets through Liu Sanwu, but I didn't expect that the Jiangnan nobles and Liu Sanwu would cut off so quickly.
As time passed, Zhu Xiongying also forgot about this person.
Jiang Wei nodded and said,
"I heard he fell into the water on the boat."
Zhu Xiongying thought for a while,
“It’s hard to say whether Zisha or he killed her.
Forget it, just die. "
Jiang Wei was a little embarrassed. He found out that Liu Sanwu had frequent economic contacts with the Jiangnan nobles, but he couldn't find anything deeper.
The Jiangnan nobles really just support Liu Sanwu, and they don’t need it at all.
During the North-South imperial examination case five years ago, the two parties were in contact, but as soon as they started, Zhu Xiongying quickly suppressed him to death.
Zhu Xiongying looked at Jiang Wei,
Suddenly his eyes lit up,
"Jiang Wei, what happened to you recently?"
Jiang Wei shook his head, the court was washed over and over again,
He, the commander of the Imperial Guards, has been particularly free in the past two years.
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said,
"Want to hang out?"
Jiang Wei didn't understand.
"Your Highness, where are you going to play?"
Zhu Xiongying said mysteriously,
"When you go to play outside the Ming Dynasty, I even found some traveling companions for you.
Grand uncle, third uncle, Li Jinglong, plus Yao Guangxiao,
Well, my second uncle has been fine lately, so let’s get him too.
The six of you are called the Red Vest Tour Group. "
Jiang Wei was confused when he heard it, but at the end he understood.
Isn't this configuration designed to cause trouble? !
Zhu Cang, the biochemical demon, Lan Yu, the sun-basking fairy, Chang Sen, the snack warrior, Li Jinglong, the Ming god of war, Yao Guangxiao, the fun-loving man, and then myself.
Jiang Wei's eyes became somewhat enlightened.
exclaimed,
"Your Highness! Are you going to use troops against Japan?!"
"Smart! Go and find out what's going on."
then,
Zhu Xiongying said a few words in Jiang Wei's ear,
Jiang Wei's eyes grew bigger and bigger!
"Your Highness, this!"
Zhu Xiongying patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder.
blinked and said,
"You can form your own team at will!
By the way, write a letter to the second uncle, and you will meet directly at the seventh uncle's side to enter the sea. "
Jiang Wei nodded in agreement.
Zhu Xiongying turned around and walked into Xianning Palace. Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually,
"What's the matter?"
Zhu Xiongying sat down,
said,
"Liu Sanwu is dead."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then said directly,
"Those who have been on the top recently should be careful.
Someone should take action. "
Zhu Xiongying nodded,
"Got it, Grandpa!"
Zhu Yunxi's eyes flashed. He couldn't let these things disturb his brother.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunxi and felt satisfied.
He said this either to his eldest grandson or to Zhu Yunxi.
"Grandpa, I think we are not familiar with the island, so attacking rashly would be underestimating the enemy.
The grandson found a few people and prepared to go to the island. "
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily,
“A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength.
What’s more, I’ve been living in Japan for so long. My eldest grandson, you’re doing fine.
You have to be optimistic about this candidate. Most people can't do this.
Let Jiang Yu go, he has nothing to do every day, and he acts prudently. "
Zhu Xiongying nodded,
"The grandson arranged for him, as well as his great-uncle, third uncle, Li Jinglong, Yao Guangxiao,
By the way, there is also the second uncle. "
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly widened his eyes and looked at Zhu Xiongying in astonishment.
Asked seriously,
"Grandson, do you hate Japan so much?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question from the bottom of his heart,
Look at these people sent out!
Those are pure scourges!
It’s completely unthinkable for these disaster stars to get together and cause trouble!
Zhu Xiongying frowned, said nothing, and could only lower his head to eat.
Lao Zhu's family members were silent.

Beijing Ministry of Rites
Yang Shiqi, the Minister of Rites, was editing the case file with a serious face.
As the number one scholar in the eighteenth year of Hongwu,
Yang Shiqi is like a new star. He has suddenly risen to prominence in the Ming court at the age of just over 20 years old.
Yang Shiqi is also from Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.
Half of the Imperial Academy in the world are from Ji'an, and Ji'an Prefecture is a treasure land that produces numerous talents.
but,
Yang Shiqi's family was poor in his early years and he traveled around to study, but he did not stay in Ji'an Mansion for long.
He was also personally pointed out by His Royal Highness Zhu Xiongying,
In order to repay His Highness the favor of knowing me, I entered the imperial court.
He and Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, were the rising stars of the younger generation and were known as Xia Yang.
"Master Yang."
Yang Shiqi put down the case file and saw his subordinates Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai standing respectfully at the door.
Huang Zicheng lowered his head, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes,
Yang Shiqi ranked first in the Ji'an Prefecture Examination in Jiangxi Province.
If you can pass the Ji'an Prefectural Examination, you will basically be half the number one scholar.
Huang Zicheng followed his path exactly the same, but his circumstances were very different.
Yang Shiqi was valued by His Majesty the Holy Sun and quickly rose to become a third-rank official.
And he and Qi Tai, Jinshi in the 16th year of Hongwu!
I can only be a low-ranking official in the Ministry of Etiquette!
In Huang Zicheng's opinion, this is a complete waste of his talents!
"come in."
Yang Shiqi was a serious man, and when he saw that it was Huang Zicheng, his fellow countryman and former student, he greeted him.
Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai walked in with sarcastic smiles.
Yang Shiqi asked them to sit down.
asked,
"What's wrong with you two?"
Huang Zicheng asked with a smile,
"Master Yang, I wonder who is hosting the reception for the North Korean envoys this time?"
Yang Shiqi frowned slightly,
Prevaricate,
"This matter was personally ordered by His Majesty. The specific details must be decided by Lord Zhu Tong."
Huang Zicheng let out a long sigh,
He tentatively said,
"Then His Highness will also participate, right?"
Yang Shiqi sounded strange and didn't answer.
Said casually,
"Just do your own thing."
Huang Zicheng was stunned when he heard this, and then his face darkened visibly.
In the previous Ming Dynasty, there was a clear hierarchy among scholars.
You have to show what year you are in and the name of your department.
Although Huang Zicheng and Yang Shiqi were both Jinshi,
But one is from the 16th year of Hongwu and the other is from the 18th year of Hongwu. Can the gold content be the same?
Zhu Xiongying has long since changed these seniority rankings, and everything is based on ability.
But Huang Zicheng was still here holding Old Huang Li, and felt that Yang Shiqi didn't respect him.
Yang Shiqi is too lazy to waste time with them. Wouldn't it be nice to help His Highness do more things if he has the time?
Yang Shiqi filled up the teacups in front of Huang Zicheng and Huang Zicheng.
He said in a deep voice,
"Let's have tea."
