Outside the East Palace.
Zhu Biao, the most famous crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di, now the number one king of the imperial clan, walked side by side.
Zhu Di walked like clouds and rain, quite thunderously.
Prince Zhu Biao's posture is gentle, but he is never slower than the fourth child.
When the two of them walked outside the palace gate, there were already horses and the retinue of Prince Yan waiting for them. Now there was also Huang Zicheng, who was assigned to Kaiping Guard in Xuanfu Town.
Zhu Biao finally slowed down.
A warm smile appeared on his face, just like the doting look he had when his clan brothers had not yet grown up and were fooling around around him.
"We're going to Peiping now, and we probably won't see you again until next year... Please walk slowly along the way, don't be in a hurry."
The Ming Dynasty stipulated that the clan kings could only enter the court once per year, and the vassals were not allowed to meet each other.
Zhu Di looked at the boss with a smile: "Brother, I am the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. Guarding the frontiers for the Ming Dynasty is my responsibility as a clan member of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Biao raised his hand and opened his lips, as if he had something to say, but he swallowed it back and said, "Be careful in everything. When you leave the border fortress and enter Mobei, don't rush forward recklessly."
"Please spare me, brother." Zhu Di responded, looked at the boss in confusion, and finally hesitated and said: "Brother, there is something on your mind? But is there anything else you want to explain?"
Zhu Biao let out a long sigh and glanced sideways at the followers of Prince Yan.
Before Zhu Di could speak, these people took Huang Zicheng, who was still unconscious, and retreated several feet away.
Only then did Zhu Biao speak: "After Yunxi fell into the water yesterday, you were the first to see him. Is there anything unusual about it?"
How could a child who was so cowardly and undisputed suddenly seem to be a different person?
Are there really ghosts and gods, or are ancestors showing their spirits?
What he saw and heard today made Zhu Biao, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, feel a shadow in his heart.
Zhu Di took a deep look at the eldest brother: "Brother, the so-called upright official cannot handle family affairs. You are the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, but you are also the father of these children in the East Palace. What Yunxi said today, although it is suspected of disrespecting the teacher, But there is no fundamental fault..."
I can't say any more, as the more I say, the more mistakes will be made.
Zhu Di thought about Zhu Yunxi's nephew's appetite for him, and before leaving, he finally did not forget to remind his boss a little. But she also kept in mind Princess Yan's daily warning not to interfere too much with Tiancheng's and even the boss's affairs.
A smile appeared on Zhu Biao's face. He could tell that the fourth child still had something to say in his heart.
Patting the fourth child on the shoulder, Zhu Biao laughed heartily: "Go ahead. Don't forget it when you return to Peking. Write memorials and send them back from time to time."
Zhu Di nodded again, then turned around and entered his own retinue. He glanced at Huang Zicheng, who seemed to have aged quietly, and made some calculations in his heart. Then he greeted loudly and led the team away.
Zhu Biao had been standing in front of the palace gate, watching King Yan's team disappear under the numerous palace gates and the towering palace walls, and then turned around with some nostalgia.
If you get closer, you can still hear Zhu Biao whispering in his mouth.
"Really?"
…
In the East Palace Academy, an old man and a young man were sitting at the desk in the hall.
When he was left alone to face the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunxi felt a little uneasy for a moment, fearing that he would be exposed, so he had to lower his head and act like a good boy.
The old man actually asked himself, what should the emperor of the Ming Dynasty do?
This is a sinkhole!
No matter how I answer, I will fall into this pit and be buried alive.
Just like when I questioned Huang Zicheng before, the question has no solution.
Zhu Yuanzhang just asked a question and did not want the boy to answer. Instead, he looked at Zhu Yunxi several times.
Putting aside the doubts in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again: "How do you answer my question?"
Zhu Yunxi raised his head with an aggrieved face: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson doesn't know what the emperor should do."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared: "I knew you kid would say that! Then I ask you, why did you have the nerve to question Huang Zicheng like that before?"
This was asking Zhu Yunxi about whether Huang Zicheng had ever been emperor.
It's tit for tat.
Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt embarrassed.
He could only hesitate and say: "My grandson just felt that the little... Mr.'s remarks were a little biased, so he made his angry remarks..."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang silently.
He was really not sure how the founding emperor in front of him would view his actions today.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "I want you to know now. I demoted Huang Zicheng today not to vent my anger on you, but because he said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing. If you take advantage of this, you will be in trouble." There is so much fuss about civil and martial arts outside, but I will let you know what the taste of fried meat with bamboo sticks is like!"
A child with a yellow mouth, even if he is a member of the clan and of the emperor's blood, cannot talk about civil and military matters at will. If someone seizes the opportunity, it will inevitably cause trouble in the court.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was quite puzzled today as to why his grandson's personality had changed so drastically, he still had to take precautions in advance to avoid turning around and causing trouble.
The old man has no intention of beating himself up!
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang speaking like this, Zhu Yunxi twitched his brows slightly, and finally regained his composure. He immediately curled his lips, then showed a pure and respectful look, and nodded repeatedly.
"What Grandpa Huang taught me is that my grandson must keep it in mind, keep everything to himself, and never reveal it to others."
Seeing Zhu Yunxi nodding in agreement, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed feebly, stood up and moved his limbs, looking sideways at his eldest grandson who was still confused.
"I'm leaving. There are piles of books that neither I nor you can look at, and we don't know when you brats will grow up!"
With muttering in his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang was already walking outside.
Only then did Zhu Yunxi realize what he was doing, and he quickly got up and said, "My grandson sends you off to Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Yuanzhang in front was already carrying his back, raised his hand and waved, and walked away.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang left and Zhu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Zhu Biao rushing into the school with an angry expression.
Looking at the empty school with only Zhu Yunxi alone, Zhu Biao immediately said: "Where is your grandpa Huang?"
Is this your biological father?
Zhu Yunxi muttered in his heart. Before he could sit firmly on his butt that had just fallen, he could only stand up straight again: "Return to father, the emperor has just left."
Zhu Biao stared at Zhu Yunxi for a while, and then said: "Your fourth uncle and I, and your grandpa Huang, have already said it. Starting tomorrow, you will leave the palace on your own to find Duke Cao and learn military skills from him. Leave the palace Bring enough guards, don't cause trouble outside, and don't linger around for fun!"
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Finally it was done.
He hurriedly flattered: "Where are you going, father?"
Zhu Biao turned around and said, "Go ahead to your grandfather to review the memorial. You are in the palace and have a peaceful rest."
Family affairs and state affairs should be given top priority.
Things in the DPRK have been complicated recently, and Zhu Biao cannot be allowed to spend time here for a long time. After leaving a word of warning, he walked away like Zhu Yuanzhang.
Looking at Zhu Biao's back, which was slightly swaying due to the bumps in his legs and feet, Zhu Yunxi's eyes gradually converged.
"Are you okay? It depends on whether someone still has ulterior motives and evil intentions!"
