It's almost noon now, and the sun is blazing in the sky.
The scorching sun is baking the earth, drying up the mud on the ground, evaporating the accumulated water, and restoring the countryside to the state before the flood.
The sun also made everyone covered in sweat, but the people who came to see Zhu Xuan off did not care about the scorching sun, nor their clothes and hair that were wet with sweat. They only knew that His Highness was leaving and they had to come to see him off. His Highness was theirs. Great benefactor, without His Highness, I don’t know how many people would die.
This is how ordinary people are. As long as someone is kind to them, they will do their best to repay them.
If the court treats the people well, then the people will definitely repay the court. Only in this way can a country and dynasty endure for a long time.
The heat of the sun is not as strong as the enthusiasm of the people.
Zhu Xuan originally wanted to leave quietly, not wanting to alarm anyone, but he didn't know who spread the news of his departure. The people in the city even chased him here. Faced with the enthusiasm of the people, they didn't know what to do for a while. manage.
"Everyone, there is no need to see you off."
"I just did what I should do, you don't have to do this!"
Zhu Xuan had no choice but to speak loudly.
But the people who saw him off didn't think so.
They didn't come empty-handed. Everyone brought something with them. Some might be salted fish, some might be a few fruits, or one or two pieces of pork.
The disaster had just ended, and they didn't have much to offer.
But it’s all affection.
Zhu Xuan wanted to refuse and let them take it back and eat it himself.
But they insisted on pushing it in regardless of whether they refused or not. Zhu Xuan had no choice but to let the Jin Yiwei accept it instead. While bidding farewell to the people politely, he left the village and prepared to go back. He was worried that if he stayed any longer, the Jin Yiwei would not be able to take out so many things.
Zhu Xuan couldn't help but think of how local people fed the soldiers and firefighters who went to provide disaster relief hundreds of years later when they left.
It turns out that this tradition existed hundreds of years ago.
As long as you are good to the people, you will be loved by them.
“The people in Shunde are so enthusiastic.”
Hua Ying finally protected Zhu Xuan and walked out of the people's feeding team.
It wasn't that they didn't want to be appreciated by the people, but they were worried that someone among the people would mess up and hurt Zhu Xuan. Fortunately, this didn't happen.
Got away safely.
Zhu Xuan was in a good mood and said with a smile on his face: "I don't know who leaked my whereabouts and scared me."
However, he didn't intend to pursue these matters. It was good to feel the enthusiasm of the people.
"It's probably because there are too many people around us. His Highness is leaving, the camp is being dismantled, etc. There is quite a lot of movement, and it's easy for the people to see something. But it's really surprising that they came to see him off in such a united manner," Zheng He said.
It also shows that the people are actually very united.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to conquer the Ming Dynasty from a beggar solely because of the unity of the people.
To govern the Ming Dynasty well and make the Ming Dynasty stronger, it is also essential to unite the people.
Zhu Xuan finally realized this and said: "Let's go back as soon as possible!"
This time when he went back, he still had problems with Ji Wenjing.
Zhu Xuan hasn't figured out how to deal with that person of unknown origin yet.
Maybe you can really believe that you can stay and manage the bank and become your own staff.
——
On Zhu Xuan's way back, the big ship sent to Peiping had left long before the typhoon and sailed all the way to its destination and docked.
After getting off the shore, the guard on the ship showed his token.
The local officials and the guard station immediately let the passengers go, and even helped to guard the docked ships.
The royal guard rushed to Peiping without stopping, came to Prince Yan's mansion, and delivered Zhu Xuan's letter, explaining that it was for Yao Guangxiao.
The letter was first delivered to King Yan Zhu Di, and then Zhu Di called for Yao Guangxiao.
After opening the letter and reading it, the two looked at each other.
They originally thought that Zhu Xuan had something important to do, but the content surprised them.
"I do have a junior brother named Ji Wenjing. I haven't seen him for many years. How come he got to Panyu and committed a crime and was caught by the little emperor grandson." Yao Guangxiao asked curiously.
The content of Zhu Xuan's letter did not mention Ji Wenjing's affairs.
It just writes that Ji Wenjing was caught committing a crime in Panyu, calling himself Yao Guangxiao's junior brother, knowing the King of Yan Zhu Di, begging Zhu Xuan to let him go, etc.
"Master thinks it's abnormal?"
Zhu Di asked.
Yao Guangxiao nodded and said: "It's not normal. Even if my junior brother commits a crime, he will not necessarily beg for mercy like this, unless his temperament has changed drastically in the past few years. However... this letter seems more like asking me for confirmation that I have There is no such junior brother."
"That makes sense."
Zhu Di nodded and said: "Little Yunxuan has a lot of thoughts and active ideas. It is not surprising that he can do anything, but he came to ask for confirmation... Could it be that the master's junior brother wanted to be Xiao Yunxuan's staff, so he sent someone here Seeking confirmation?"
This possibility still exists.
Yao Guangxiao looked at the contents of the letter and fell into deep thought.
"How does the master's younger brother's ability compare with the master's?"
Zhu Di asked again.
Yao Guangxiao explained: "It can't be compared. He and I learned different things. I learned the dragon slaying technique, while he learned the yin and yang technique. He also learned some other things, but he is not proficient. A few years ago, he said There will be a catastrophe in the future, and to deal with it, it should be the little emperor’s grandson.”
Zhu Di's eyes turned cold, and his tone was also cold: "If he takes refuge in Xiao Yunxuan, should we find a way to let Xiao Yunxuan kill him?"
In front of Yao Guangxiao, he didn't think there was anything wrong in talking about killing Yao Guangxiao's junior brother.
Even if Yao Guangxiao himself is cruel, he can still do such a thing.
"Should be killed!"
Yao Guangxiao thought about it for a long time, and his tone was not so cold, but he said calmly: "He knows that I know a lot, and he is also very aware of my situation. He is also proficient in yin and yang magic and can deduce many things. If he can assist the little emperor grandson, it is possible Give me the upper hand. It’s easy to kill him, as long as I reply with a letter saying that I don’t have this junior brother.”
Zhu Di admired: "Master is righteous! It's just..."
He hesitated in his heart, but expressed his thoughts: "Is it really appropriate for me to compete for that position? When the eldest brother Prince was still there, he was really good to me, and little Yunxuan was also very good."
After returning to Yingtian, Zhu Di had more ideas and his mind was shaken.
It’s easy to be indecisive.
Yao Guangxiao had the skill of slaying dragons, but he had no dragons to slay. After finally finding Zhu Di, he couldn't let go of this opportunity to show his ambition. He said: "If your highness doesn't do it, you will definitely regret it! I don't think the little emperor grandson is He would never allow this to happen to a simple person, as there are threats around him.”
Zhu Di said: "I won't fight anymore, how can he threaten me?"
"Just because you don't fight, doesn't mean it's not a threat."
Yao Guangxiao turned around and took two steps forward, looked up into space, and said calmly: "Your Highness's own existence is already a threat, not only to His Highness, but to all the feudal princes. There was the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in the Han Dynasty, and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Jin Dynasty. , even if His Highness becomes the emperor, it is impossible to allow other brothers with heavy troops to exist, right?"
Zhu Di was silent. What Yao Guangxiao said was the truth.
Even if he could support those brothers, it was impossible for them to entrust one side with another and take control of the military.
