Just when Zhu Ying was about to go to Prince Yan's Mansion to think of something.
The entrance of the tea house,
Zhu Gaochi came in with several guards.
In fact, Zhu Gaochi had arrived a long time ago, and when he arrived, he happened to see Liu He coming.
So I kept waiting in a small restaurant nearby.
As the grandson of the emperor, of course he knew the eunuch beside the emperor's grandfather.
Being able to ask the Chief of Ceremonies to come out of the palace in person was naturally based on the imperial grandfather's order.
It might not be a good thing to get involved at this time.
After seeing Liu He and others leaving, Zhu Gaochi turned around and came in.
Good guy, I really said that Cao Cao will be there when he comes.
Zhu Ying was still preparing in her mind the excuse to go to Prince Yan's Mansion, when she turned around, Zhu Gaochi appeared.
After some polite greetings, Zhu Ying invited Zhu Gaochi to the second floor for a detailed discussion.
"Brother Ying, the method you taught me last time was really good. I followed the method you gave me and showed it to Grandpa Huang, who greatly appreciated it."
"Now Grandpa Huang has given me an edict, allowing me to go to the War Bureau and the Gunpowder Department tomorrow."
"Let's set off together tomorrow morning."
Zhu Gaochi said excitedly.
Among them, getting permission is one aspect, but the most important thing is that Grandpa Huang seems to value it more.
Father Zhu Di did not want to canonize himself as the crown prince.
Zhu Gaochi also heard about it.
He knew that he had no advantage at all compared to his second brother who was capable of both literary and martial arts.
The only way out is at Grandpa Huang's place.
There are some things that, as a member of the royal family, even if he is only a teenager, he is very clear in his heart.
It seems that there is no fight, but in fact it is necessary to fight.
Grandpa Huang is not happy with his second brother, so this is his opportunity.
So now he is very grateful to Zhu Ying.
As for some of his father's thoughts or plans, he didn't know and didn't want to know.
Zhu Ying felt a little bitter when she heard Zhu Gaochi's words.
After finally looking forward to the military battle, I unexpectedly encountered the matter of going to Xiaoling to deliver sacrifices.
Zhu Ying said with some regret: "This is a bit unfortunate. Just now the eunuch from the palace came to notify us and placed a large number of breakfast orders at the teahouse."
"It will be used to offer sacrifices to Xiaoling, His Royal Highness. I will also prepare some for the princes and grandsons of Ouchi to taste."
From the perspective of the common people and even nobles, early business can earn a lot of money.
But Zhu Ying's mind was not on this at all.
He followed Zhu Di to the capital, first of all to see the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The most important thing is the firearm.
The general process of firearm making, or the residence and situation of some firearms craftsmen.
Unexpectedly, I would be tricked by the teahouse now.
You should know that we didn’t start this teahouse in the first place and started some other business.
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, an undetectable color flashed across his face.
In the name of offering sacrifices, Zhu Ying was asked to go to Xiaoling to participate in the sacrifices.
It was Liu He who came to inform.
This is clearly what Grandpa Huang meant.
I remembered that I had said the name of the teahouse owner Zhu Ying at Grandpa Huang's place.
Grandpa Huang didn’t seem to have much reaction at the time.
Zhu Gaochi had been studying in the palace since he was a child and knew the emperor's temperament well.
Grandpa Huang has always attached great importance to talents and cannot be so calm.
This is enough to show that Zhu Ying and Grandpa Huang have met each other a long time ago.
even......
Is there any connection between this and my father?
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but think a little.
Seeing Zhu Gaochi's thoughtful expression, Zhu Ying understood in her heart that it seemed that someone was secretly involved in the sacrifice.
"I also ask the eldest prince to tell me who it is that wants to use the hands of the priest to secretly murder me."
Zhu Ying didn't hesitate, stood up, bowed with fists, and said directly.
Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses and was a little confused when he heard Zhu Ying's words.
"Brother Ying, what do you mean by this? Who wants to kill you?"
Zhu Ying frowned slightly. Could it be that even Zhu Gaochi didn't want to participate? How powerful is this secret person?
When I thought about it carefully, I thought it was impossible.
Zhu Gaochi seems ordinary, but in fact, in terms of the entire Ming Dynasty, he is already a figure at the top of the pyramid.
There can't be any other person to be afraid of.
For example, King Zhu Di of Yan was one of the strong contenders for the throne.
The only one he fears is his current Majesty, Zhu Yuanzhang.
If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill himself, why bother?
The temperament described in later generations, for an insignificant businessman like himself, a decree directly sentenced him to death, and there was no trouble at all.
No one cares or cares.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying directly told Zhu Gaochi what he was thinking.
After hearing Zhu Ying's explanation, Zhu Gaochi understood.
It was Zhu Ying who thought too much.
I thought about it and explained: "Brother Ying, don't worry, this is absolutely impossible. Xiaoling is such a place, how could anyone want to use this to harm you."
"Even if someone really wants to harm you, it can't be in a place like Xiaoling."
"If anything happens in Xiaoling, Grandpa Huang will investigate it strictly."
After hearing this explanation, Zhu Ying felt slightly relieved, but she thought of Liu He's demeanor and movements.
Still a little confused.
Could it be that I am just overthinking it?
Since coming to Daming, ten years ago.
He has always lived cautiously.
This is especially true during the period when the power was first established.
Almost every day I was struggling on the edge of life and death.
Although there were some foundations later, places such as the Ming Dynasty border areas, especially from the Western Regions to the deserts and grasslands.
There are so many jackals, tigers and leopards.
If you are not careful, you will be in an abyss, managing such a wide territory with such a huge span.
There are simply not too many things to think about, research and manage.
That's why I developed such a vigilant and suspicious temperament.
"In this case, according to the eldest prince's opinion, I just need to send the sacrifices as normal." Zhu Ying said.
Zhu Gaochi nodded and replied: "That's right, but in places like Xiaoling, Brother Ying still needs to maintain some awe."
After finishing speaking, he said with some hesitation: "I don't know where Brother Ying wants to send the sacrifice to Xiaoling."
Zhu Ying shook her head and said: "I didn't say anything, but there will be a carriage coming to pick me up tomorrow morning."
Zhu Gaochi certainly didn't know anything about the emperor's grandfather asking Zhu Ying to suppress his mausoleum.
When he thought about it, eating like this was most likely for Grandma Huang.
After a slight hesitation, Zhu Gaochi said, "If I ask you to send me to Grandma Huang, I still need to be more respectful."
"As it should be." Zhu Ying nodded and said.
For him, no matter where he is in Xiaoling, he must be respectful so as not to find fault with others.
"It's just a pity that you can't go with me to the Gunpowder Department tomorrow." Zhu Gaochi said with some regret.
Zhu Ying nodded helplessly, feeling unhappy.
"When the eldest prince sees it, come back and talk to me." Zhu Ying said.
Zhu Gaochi nodded in agreement.
...
Daming Palace, in the Huagai Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang let out a light sigh, as if he suddenly remembered something.
He told Liu He: "Inform your grandson Gao Chi that he does not have to go to the war station tomorrow. It will be changed to the day after tomorrow."
"I just told the Gunpowder Department that they need to make arrangements in advance to prevent accidents."
Liu He bowed and replied: "I obey your order."
