"What?"
"Scholar Xie was beaten last night?"
Zhu Di frowned and looked at Ji Gang beside him.
The Jin Yiwei is responsible for supervising all civil and military officials in Beijing, so naturally any troubles cannot be hidden from him.
In particular, Xie Jin was a bachelor of the cabinet and a lackey of civil servants who was valued by His Majesty the Emperor, so Ji Gang came to report immediately the next morning.
It depends on the owner of the dog. If you dare to beat His Majesty the Emperor's dog, you are a bit brave!
Zhu Di frowned, and then seemed to think of something.
"How is Jie Jin's injury?"
"Well, it's just some superficial wounds. The person who did it is very measured. It seems... it means more humiliation."
Hearing this, Zhu Di further confirmed his suspicion.
These guys, Qiu Ba, are really not willing to take any losses!
"What were those bastards Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and Li Hongbi doing last night?"
"Duke Qi was overjoyed because his eldest son, Qiu Song, had passed away from high school. He took everyone to his house to have a drink, and then dispersed."
Qiusong High School’s liberation is indeed worthy of celebration.
Zhu Di was also happy about this.
After all, Qiu Fu is an old brother who has followed him through life and death, and now there are successors. This is what the elders want to see.
"What about Li Hongbi?"
"Uh... I went to Qinhuai, ten miles away, non-stop, and didn't come back all night!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's face suddenly darkened.
Good boy!
You really dare to go!
Did you just ignore my warning?
"Where's Li Jinglong?"
"This bitch doesn't care about that bastard?"
It's okay that he didn't mention Li Jinglong. When he mentioned Li Jinglong, Ji Gang's expression became even weirder.
"Ahem, father and son went together, and they also brought the little miracle doctor Sheng Yin with them!"
Zhu Di was dumbfounded and speechless.
Is it really the case of a prostitute and a father and son fighting together?
Would you like some facial expressions?
After all, he is also a dignified prince, and he is also the top nobleman of our Ming Dynasty!
"Come here and issue an order..."
"That's all, I'm too lazy to care about this bastard father and son!"
Zhu Di originally wanted to issue an order to admonish Li Jinglong and his son, but then he thought of something else and simply changed his tune.
Anyway, Li Hongbi and Mei Wanyan's wedding is approaching, and the two children will get married only after next spring.
Hey, when that time comes, you, Li Hongbi, still dare to go to Qinhuai, which is ten miles away?
Go ahead and have fun, there will be times when your kid will cry!
Ji Gang finished his report and prepared to leave wisely.
Zhu Di spoke quietly.
"Inform Ying Tianfu Yin's side and grab a few rogues to deal with them."
Upon hearing this, Ji Gang nodded with understanding.
Li Hongbi, Li Hongbi, you are so full of holy family ties!
The trouble you caused has caused His Majesty the Emperor to wipe your ass!
Tsk tsk, with this kind of treatment, His Majesty the Emperor might really regard Li Hongbi as his nephew, right?
Not long after Ji Gang left, monk Dao Yan walked in.
"Your Majesty, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, it's time."
Zhu Di nodded after hearing this.
"Have all the kings entered the capital?"
Dao Yan nodded with a smile and said: "Your Majesty has summoned you. They dare not not come. All the first-generation princes and second-generation princes are here."
"Have the arrangements been made at the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, all the generals are ready. The locations of the king's personal guards are all heavily guarded. They cannot make a big splash!"
Yao Guangxiao spoke confidently.
This plan to reduce the vassal status was also formulated by him to prevent some vassal kings from jumping over the wall in a hurry and insisting on fighting with His Majesty the Emperor.
Although the vassal kings are in the capital, they still control three guards.
The total number of the Three Guards is more than 15,000, but some far exceed this limit. Therefore, if the Three Guards are not abolished and the vassal king does not return military power to the court, sooner or later there will be great chaos!
Other emperors may not understand this, but Emperor Yongle was very familiar with it.
After all, everyone knows how he came to the throne.
"Then let's settle this matter completely at the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet!"
Zhu Di ordered decisively.
He is a decisive and decisive iron-blooded emperor. Since he has made all preparations, there is nothing to hesitate.
Yao Guangxiao nodded, but suddenly mentioned something.
"Your Majesty, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, why don't you invite the eldest prince and the second prince to the capital?"
Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion Night is a great time for family reunion.
But the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi and the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, one is in Peiping and the other is in Kaiping. It's hard not to think too much!
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di's expression changed slightly, and he just glanced at Monk Dao Yan lightly.
"Your Majesty, the delay in these two princes entering the capital will only make people in the government and the public uneasy, and all kinds of rumors will be rampant!"
"Instead of doing this, it is better to summon the two princes to the capital. As for other matters, we can discuss them later!"
"At least on occasions such as the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, the prince does not show up, which is not in line with patriarchal ethics!"
Yao Guangxiao changed his explanation and settled for the next best thing.
He was telling Zhu Di that you don't have to keep suppressing Zhu Gaochi from entering the capital. It won't have any impact if you call him into the capital.
Anyway, whether you can confer Zhu Gaochi as the prince or not is not a matter of a word from you, Zhu Di. Why do you act like a villain in vain?
On the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night, none of the three princes showed up. How did the civil and military officials of the court think of this, and how did the people of the world think of it?
Zhu Di naturally understands this truth.
The third child was beaten into Zongzheng Temple by him and is still imprisoned there today.
The eldest brother is far away in Peiping, and the second child is far away in Kaiping. It is indeed a bit strange that neither of them showed up at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
After all, they are all their own sons. Who doesn’t want to reunite the whole family?
Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.
"That's all, let's make an order to summon the eldest prince Gao Chi and the second prince Gao Xu to the capital immediately. There must be no mistakes!"
As soon as these words came out, Yao Guangxiao was determined.
As long as the eldest prince can enter the capital, his chances of winning the East Palace will increase infinitely!
You know, taking this step is really not easy!
At the same time, Cao Guogong's mansion.
Li Hongbi looked at the two invitations on the table and felt a little numb.
One letter was sent by Sheng Yin on behalf of Cheng Dieyi. The Oiran Convention will be held on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, and Li Hongbi is sincerely invited to attend the ceremony.
After all, in the past two months, Li Hongbi had often given Cheng Dieyi advice and put in a lot of effort to help her win the position of oiran.
Besides, Sheng Yin will definitely go, since he is the one he likes, how can he miss such a grand event?
Another invitation came from the Princess Mansion.
Well, Miss Mei’s invitation invited him to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns.
This is a bit embarrassing!
He, Li Hongbi, can't take his fiancée to watch the oiran convention together, can he?
The tigress of the Mei family is not allowed to peel off this layer of skin on his body, and the eldest princess is not allowed to tear open his dog's mouth!
Li Hongbi immediately shuddered when he thought of those horrific scenes.
"Ahem, that person, reply a letter to Miss Mei and say that I..."
Li Hongbi was about to speak, but suddenly he was startled, and then a beautiful figure appeared in his mind.
Then he took out the earring from his arms, which was still well wrapped in the embroidered handkerchief.
hiss……
Is there a possibility...
The girl I saw that day was Miss Mei?
As soon as this idea came to mind, it spread like wildfire in my mind!
"Uncle Lao Quan!"
Hearing the call of the young master, the old housekeeper appeared on the scene.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
"Does Mei Yin have any brothers or relatives?"
Li Hongbi asked excitedly.
"No, Mei Yin is the son of Runan Hou Mei Sizu. There is only one Mei Yin in the second generation of our old Mei family!"
Congzi, the son of a brother or sister, almost means nephew.
That means...
It’s not impossible!
Li Hongbi suddenly became excited and slapped his thigh suddenly.
His grandma's, why didn't he think of it that day?
Although Mei Yin is ugly, he plays well.
Princess Ning Guo is so beautiful and a great beauty, so the daughter she gave birth to will definitely be good too!
Li Hongbi immediately grabbed the invitation, stood up, and trotted out of the mansion, heading straight for the princess's mansion.
"Master, where are you going?"
"Go see my wife!"
