Upon learning that Zhu Jinghong had arrived, Liu Yanqing, the commander of Xiaoling Guards, immediately came out to greet him. Today it was his turn to take command.
Before Zhu Jinghong crossed the Jinshui Bridge, he encountered Liu Yanqing and others coming towards him.
"Your Majesty Liu Yanqing, please see the Thirteenth Master!"
"Um!"
"Last night Taizu came to visit me in a dream, and today I'm here to pay my respects. You don't have to be polite, just do whatever you need to do!" Zhu Jinghong opened his mouth to lie.
"this……"
"Grandfather Taizu was very angry in his dream. He even scolded me in the dream. I went in and kowtowed to admit my mistake... Don't you still feel relieved?" Zhu Jinghong asked back.
Since the last Japanese pirates fled to Xiaoling, the emperor killed many officers, including the commander of the Xiaoling Guard.
This greatly shocked the Xiaoling Guards, so they strengthened patrols as much as possible to ensure that nothing would happen again.
Generally speaking, except for the eunuchs guarding the tomb inside, outsiders are basically not allowed to enter, and the same is true for the people of Xiaoling Guard.
"Thirteenth Master, why didn't the Crown Prince come?" Liu Yanqing asked bravely.
"What? I'm not a descendant of the Zhu family, so I can't go in?" Zhu Jinghong asked with a downcast face.
"I didn't mean that..."
"baffling……"
After saying this, Zhu Jinghong walked straight in. Liu Yanqing waved back a group of his men, gritted his teeth and followed him.
"Master Thirteen, I'm here to guide you!"
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Zhu Jinghong just wanted to curse in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about Liu Yanqing.
It makes sense for someone to lead you, no matter how you say it, it would be too deliberate if Zhu Jinghong ordered him to leave again.
"Then lead the way!" In desperation, Zhu Jinghong had no choice but to admit it.
It seemed that setting fire was out of the question, so he had to find another way.
After walking a few hundred meters along the royal road, the two of them entered the main entrance of the cemetery.
The cemetery was very quiet. Zhu Jinghong looked around at the situation, thinking about what to do.
Passing the pavilion of the stele of sacred merits and virtues, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but say: "Liu Qian, there are students gathering and making noise outside the palace, do you know?"
"I've heard a little bit about it!" Liu Yanqing replied carefully.
It is a rare thing for students to gather together. Now it has spread in Yingtian City, and Liu Yanqing certainly knows about it.
Zhu Jinghong then asked: "You have heard about it. Did you also hear about Taizu's spirit in heaven?"
"This...I don't dare to speak nonsense!"
Zhu Jinghong smiled and did not continue. He had already thought of a way.
The two of them remained silent for a while and walked all the way to the depths of the cemetery, and soon came to the outside of the Xiang Hall, where Zhu Yuanzhang's god was enshrined.
When they first arrived in Yingtian, the two brothers Zhu Jinghong came to worship, so they were no strangers at this moment.
There are dozens of eunuchs responsible for cleaning and guarding. The inside and outside of the palace are clean and tidy, and the incense inside has never stopped.
Before entering the palace, Zhu Jinghong straightened his clothes and said, "Liu Qianshi, come in with me!"
He originally planned to just send him outside the main hall, but at this time Zhu Jinghong asked him to come in with him, which caught Liu Yanqing off guard.
"Thirteenth Master, I enjoy the important land of the palace, how can I enter without permission!" Liu Yanqing was extremely frightened.
"Then wait outside the door!"
"Yes!" Liu Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief.
So Zhu Jinghong stepped into the main hall, and under the etiquette guidance of the enshrining officer, he began to worship the ancestor of the Zhu family.
After the ceremony, Zhu Jinghong knelt on the mat with no intention of getting up.
Everyone just thought he was meditating, so they didn't take it seriously, but then something clicked.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Jinghong was still kneeling on the same spot, which surprised everyone.
Unfortunately, this was not an extraordinary move, so everyone could only stay by the side and think of various ways to divert time.
When everyone inside and outside the hall was flying for nine days, they saw Zhu Jinghong suddenly straightened up and looked to the left and right with a suspicious look on his face.
"Did you hear that?"
Hearing this sudden question, everyone felt even more confused. There was obviously no sound just now?
"Thirteenth Master, what did you hear?" a eunuch asked.
Zhu Jinghong then said: "I heard... Grandpa Taizu's voice!"
Now everyone was even more surprised. They all looked at the Taizu statue in the main hall, and saw only the swaying incense candles and fireworks, and the surrounding silence.
"Didn't you hear?"
"Master Thirteen, the servants really didn't hear you!"
Zhu Jinghong stood up straight away and angrily shouted: "You idiots, you were all distracted just now, how could you listen to Taizu's holy voice attentively!"
All the eunuchs trembled and knelt on the ground. They could not afford to be accused of neglecting Taizu's spirit.
At this time, Liu Yanqing outside the main hall couldn't help but ask: "Thirteenth Master, Grandfather Taizu... what did you say?"
Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice: "Grandfather Taizu said it's too noisy outside!"
Liu Yanqing was silent for a moment. He was sure that he did not hear Taizu's voice, so he guessed that Zhu Jinghong must have his own purpose in saying this.
However, Zhu Jinghong did not ask him. Instead, he turned to look at several eunuchs and asked in a stern tone: "Did you hear that?"
After being frightened by him, several eunuchs dared to say that they had not heard him, and they all kowtowed and answered that they had heard him.
These people said they heard it, and they had witnesses, so Zhu Jinghong had to strike hard and get Liu Yanqing to admit it.
"Liu Qianshi, didn't you hear?"
"minister……"
To break down a person's defenses, you not only have to be sharp enough with your words, but you also have to overwhelm the person with momentum and not give the other person time to think.
Before Liu Yanqing could say another word, Zhu Jinghong said again: "Liu Qianshi, is this how you serve the great ancestor?"
"How many heads do you have enough to chop off Grandfather Taizu for being so disrespectful?"
There are a few heads that can be chopped off. This is really no joke. The dozens of heads that were chopped off before are still dead.
"I...will die!" Liu Yanqing kowtowed immediately.
Walking up to Liu Yanqing, Zhu Jinghong asked in a stern tone: "Let me ask you again, have you heard the voice of Grandfather Taizu?"
Facing a shameless prince, who was probably here on the prince's order, Liu Yanqing still dared to stick to his own opinion.
"I heard it. My great-grandfather said it was too noisy. Those scholars outside were too noisy!"
Zhu Jinghong was very satisfied with this answer, and he said with an angry look on his face: "Then are you willing to clear up the noise for Taizu?"
Sure enough, Liu Yanqing actually wanted to refuse, just because he didn't want to get involved in these things.
But at this moment, Zhu Jinghong was threatening him, leaving him no chance to shirk.
"Okay, you go now!"
Kneeling on the spot, Liu Yanqing raised his head and asked, "May I ask Thirteenth Master, what should I do?"
"Take your soldiers and go to the palace gate to expose the crimes of those students and order them to leave immediately!"
When Liu Yanqing heard that these people were just asked to leave, Liu Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "What if they don't leave?"
Zhu Jinghong turned around, looked at the tablet of the God Lord in front of him, and said solemnly: "Then we will work with the Jin Yiwei to take the person directly!"
Liu Yanqing secretly cursed himself for talking too much and just accepted the order and left. Why bother asking this question.
"Aren't you going yet?"
"Yes...I will take someone with you right now!"
Liu Yanqing left in panic, but Zhu Jinghong did not leave in a hurry, but kowtowed to the god again.
"Zhu Jinghong, an unworthy descendant, failed to protect the peace of Grandfather Taizu, which is a crime of death. Please calm down, Grandfather Taizu!"
No matter what, he took advantage of me today, so he should apologize sincerely.
They are all his ancestors, so he will not be blamed... Zhu Jinghong comforted himself like this.
After getting up, Zhu Jinghong looked at the eunuchs on the left and right and said, "You must remember clearly that Taizu was disturbed today. If someone comes to ask questions in the future, don't make the wrong mistake!"
"Slave understands!"
