"My lord, I have heard a lot of rumors during my recent trip here, saying that you have obtained a treasure map of the Yuan Dynasty? Is it true?"
Zhao Xuanyi laughed loudly after hearing this. "These rumors have been flying all over the sky recently. The princess should know that I was assassinated by Baiyulou's killer a month ago, and the wound is still not healed. Do you think I can snatch some treasure map somewhere?" What? I think there is something fishy about this matter!"
"Oh? Is the Duke suspecting something?"
"Princess, do you think that if I get this treasure map, will I publish it all over the city?"
"This? No matter who gets it, they won't talk about it!"
"That's right! Then think about it, these rumors are spreading so much now, what is the real purpose of the person who spread these rumors?"
Zhu Qing blinked, and then gave Zhao Xuanyi a strange look.
"I guess, if this map really exists, it should be in the hands of the person who spread the rumors, what do you think?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
The more Zhu Qing listened, the stranger he became. Zhao Xuanyi didn't seem to be lying. If Zhao Xuanyi really got the treasure map, wouldn't he be stupid enough to make everyone his enemy? Even though he is now the Protector of the Country, it is easy to dodge open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows!
But Zhao Xuanyi is not a simple person. I can't believe everything he says. "Yes, the Duke's guess is right, but you are wronged like this. Isn't it a bit too wronged?"
"This...I have been in the capital for so many years, what kind of thing have I not encountered? What does it mean to be wronged? I think back then when I led troops to the border to help my father-in-law guard it, one of them was accidentally captured by the Tatars. What happened to me? Tortured!"
"I was finally rescued, but what happened? The Holy Father did not trust us, and the people called me a traitor and collaborator. At that time, I wanted to die. But over the years, I have used my actions and abilities to help myself establish a good reputation. Majesty, let them know that I am not a traitor, what do these rumors mean now?"
Zhu Qing almost vomited after hearing this, thinking, are you brainwashing me here? Am I here to hear your bragging? The bitter meat trick doesn't work here!
"That's right, the prince works tirelessly for the sake of the country and the people. It seems that these people are just following the wind and rain, without any knowledge at all!"
"I am very pleased by what the princess said. Thank you very much for your understanding!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a grateful face.
Zhu Qing couldn't stand it anymore and stood up directly: "My lord, since there is nothing else, I will leave first. I have other things to do when I come to the capital!"
"So that's it, then I'll send you my congratulations to the princess!" Zi Yuan cupped her fists!
"The Duke stays!" Zhu Qing left the hall with Ye Zi!
"Brother Shen, help me deliver the princess!"
"Yes!" Shen Wei sent Zhu Qing off! Leave!
Zhao Xuanyi sat on the chair, picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip of tea, thinking: Fight with me? How about Li Wenzhou? Aren't you the losers under me? Just you? Go home and play! Zhao Xuanyi drank the tea in one sip [Poof! ] Sprayed out in one mouthful, "Hot, hot, hot...!" Zhao Xuanyi stuck out his tongue and fanned it with his hands!
Zhu Qing and Ye Zi got on the carriage, and the carriage slowly left the Protector's Mansion. Ye Zi turned to look at Zhu Qing, "Princess, do you believe what Zhao Xuanyi said today?"
"What about you? Do you believe it?" Zhu Qing asked.
Ye Zi shook his head, "How do you know, my maid? But what he said is very reasonable, and there seems to be no flaws at all!"
"This is the most unreasonable thing. He gave perfect answers to every question I asked. This is enough to prove that he has already prepared these words to deal with me, so you don't need to say a word. believe!"
"I see, I understand! Then... what should we do next?"
Zhu Qing sighed, "It seems like it's impossible for us to get something out of him! This man is too shrewd, we have to find another way! Our goal this time is not Zhao Xuanyi, but that map. As long as you get the map, the rest is easy!"
"Yes!" Ye Zi nodded.
Shen Wei returned to the hall, "Young Master, we have sent you away!" Kanshu La
"Well! These few
Attention, by the way, this is a picture I drew a few days ago. You asked Zhang Han and Nangong Che to help me make it! "After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he placed a few drawings on the table!
Shen Wei took it over and looked at it, frowning, "Birdcage? Lord, since when did you like to play with birds?"
Shen Wei rolled his eyes at Shen Wei, "Can you look at the size?"
Shen Wei took a closer look, and then his eyes widened. He saw that the length and width of the birdcage were fifteen meters, and the height was three meters. Shen Wei was so surprised when he saw this that he could not speak, "My lord, do this." What are you doing? Do you want to raise a tiger?"
"Hmph! Old mother, you are very fierce! Immediately send the drawings to the military camp and tell them, no need to save money for me, use the strongest steel, and bring them back to me when they are done! Just put them in the atrium for me Inside the courtyard!"
Shen Wei looked at the drawing and thought, "Who are you going to imprison?"
"Guess!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he gave Shen Wei a look that deserved a beating, and then left.
Zhao Xuanyi came to Li Hanyan's courtyard alone. As soon as he entered, he saw that Li Hanyan was training Liu Xiawan, "Hands flat, feet stepped out, waist sinking, yes, that's it!"
Liu Xiawan looked aggrieved when she saw Zhao Xuanyi, "Dad...?"
It’s a bit too early to start martial arts training from a three-year-old child, but there’s nothing dad can do about it! I don’t dare to care about your aunt!
When Qinglian and Lizhi saw Zhao Xuanyi coming, they put down their halberds, stopped practicing, and saluted Zhao Xuanyi, "Uncle!"
"Yeah!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded lightly.
Li Hanyan came over, "Why are you here? Zi Yuan is doing accounting in the study!"
"I'm not looking for Ziyuan, I'm looking for you!"
"Looking for me? What's the matter?" Li Hanyan asked in surprise.
"Can we go to your room and have a chat?" Zhao Xuanyi asked mysteriously.
After hearing this, Li Hanyan nodded, and then looked at Liu Xiawan, "Punch this set of punches three more times, or I will punish you!"
"Yes!" Liu Xiawan said aggrievedly while practicing boxing!
Zhao Xuanyi followed Li Hanyan to the room. Zhao Xuanyi looked at this room and thought to himself, it is really not easy. I can count the number of times I have been to my wife's room on one hand!
"What's the matter?" Li Hanyan asked.
"Ah, this!" Zhao Xuanyi took out the parchment blueprint, "Leave this here with you. It's very dangerous outside recently. I don't trust this thing here, but I feel safe leaving it here with you!"
Li Hanyan took it over and suddenly felt a strange feeling. She seemed to have gained Zhao Xuanyi's trust. Li Hanyan put the drawings away, "Didn't you go to the eldest princess yesterday? What did the eldest princess say?"
"The eldest princess has made a copy of the drawing, but now there is no clue about the pattern on the drawing, so even getting the drawing is useless!"
"That's it!"
"But even so, this drawing is an ominous thing. Just now, the princess of King Yongle, Zhu Qing, came to our house to inquire about this matter! Let me prevaricate. There has been nothing special recently, so don't go out. It’s home!"
"Yeah, I get it!"
After talking about the business, Zhao Xuanyi looked at Li Hanyan. Since he had more women, he didn't seem to have seen Li Hanyan well. Li Hanyan is now the same as before, so beautiful, her appearance has not changed, and her eyes are no longer so cold!
Zhao Xuanyi took Li Hanyan's hand, "I promised you back then that I would take you out to play when I had time, but over the years, one thing has happened one after another, and there has been no chance. When we have the chance in the future, let's go out for a walk!"
Li Hanyan blushed rarely and nodded lightly, "Okay!"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Me? I...I want to go see Wudang Mountain!"
"Wudang Mountain? Why would you want to go there?"
"It is said that there are countless masters on Wudang Mountain. I want to see it. I want to know what kind of skills these masters have. I want to broaden my horizons!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded after hearing this. It turns out that Li Hanyan still has such a martial arts dream! "Okay, we will definitely go there in the future!"
In the palace, Zhu Yuejun, accompanied by four maids, came outside the royal study. When the eunuch saw Zhu Yuejun, he hurriedly saluted, "See the eldest princess!"
"Is the emperor here?"
"The Emperor is reviewing the memorial! I will go and report it now!" After saying this, the eunuch hurriedly walked into the imperial study room and trotted out shortly after. "Eldest Princess, Your Majesty, please come in!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yuejun entered the imperial study room, and Zhu Chufeng also put down the folding book in his hand, "See you, brother emperor!"
"Yuejun is here, sit down!" Zhu Chufeng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Huang!" Zhu Yuejun sat on a chair nearby!
"Yue-kun, you haven't come to see me for a long time. I'm having lunch at Brother Huang's place today!"
"Sure, listen to your royal brother!"
"Okay! What have you been busy with lately?"
"This...?" Zhu Yuejun turned to look at the palace maids and eunuchs on the side, without saying a word!
Zhu Chufeng waved his hand, "You all, step aside and don't disturb our conversation!"
"Yes! Everyone, get out!" The eunuch led the other young eunuchs and maids all out of the royal study and closed the door.
Zhu Yuejun stood up and looked outside. There seemed to be no one. He hurriedly came to Zhu Chufeng, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and spread it flat on the desk. "Brother, look at this!"
Zhu Chufeng looked at the drawings Zhu Yuejun brought and looked at it carefully, "What is this? I can't understand it!"
"There are recent rumors in the capital that Zhao Xuanyi has obtained a treasure map of the Yuan Dynasty. Yesterday, Zhao Xuanyi found me and handed the treasure map to me. I will copy it and show it to you!"
After Zhu Chufeng heard this, his eyes flashed with shrewd light. He reached out and picked up the drawing, "Is this the rumored treasure map?"
"That's right! But I've been looking for a long time and there's no clue!"
Zhu Chufeng looked at it and didn't see anything. He put the paper down and said, "The treasure map must not be that simple. It's either a riddle or a mysterious area. It's been so long since the Yuan Dynasty. Maybe it's on it." The terrain has changed a long time ago! It’s normal to not be able to find clues for a while!”
"But... Zhao Xuanyi is really thoughtful. He actually handed this treasure map to you?"
When Zhu Yuejun heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and then he smiled, "Zhao Xuanyi's loyalty to our Ming Dynasty is a lesson! If Zhao Xuanyi hadn't fought so hard just a while ago, the prince would not have been able to come back!"
Speaking of the prince, Zhu Chufeng sighed, "Oh! You're still talking about it, look at these!" Zhu Chufeng threw a stack of folding papers in front of Zhu Yuejun.
Zhu Yuejun casually picked it up and looked at it. As expected, they were all about impeaching the prince. He played with things to lose his ambition. Regardless of his identity, he went to work as a porter in a grain store. He was unseemly and lost the royal dignity. He could hardly write down all kinds of ridiculing words!
"I have arranged to talk to the prince!" Zhu Yuejun said.
"I think he just doesn't have a family. As long as a man doesn't have a family, he will never grow up! We need to choose a concubine for him as soon as possible!"
"Brother, please don't rush into this matter! The Crown Princess is the future Queen, and she must be chosen with great care as her mother is expected to honor the world!"
"How can I not know! But look at this child? If he is half as good as you, I won't even worry!"
"It sounds like you are scolding me!" Zhu Yuejun said with a smile.
Zhu Chufeng looked at Zhu Yuejun, "How is Qi Lianzhong doing lately?"
"It's very deep! My maid has already killed three of his people beside the queen, and I have arranged people at the Meridian Gate and various palace checkpoints, but Qi Qingyu's spices can still be delivered to the queen's hands. I guess his Not only are they palace maids, there may also be eunuchs!”
Zhu Chufeng snorted, "This Qi Lianzhong is very good at planning!"
"After all, I have been planning for a long time. Instead of taking business or military power, I plan to take imperial power. It's a shame he can think of it!"
"Then... Yue-kun, which girl do you think is suitable?"
