Zhu Yuanzhang just glanced at it and did not look at the letter sent by Jiang Yu in detail, but looked at the other party.
Jiang Wei, who had been working for the emperor for many years, couldn't help but feel nervous when he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
With what happened these days, he was really unsure about Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings towards Zhu Yunxi, the emperor's grandson.
The emperor's look, according to his understanding over the years, was that he wanted to make this matter clear first.
Jiang Wei spoke in a low voice: "Reporting to your majesty, the emperor and grandson have secretly arranged human guards as before. Not long after the emperor and grandson returned to the East Palace with the crown prince today, he asked Sun Cheng, the junior flag officer of the Yulin Army, to Sent this letter.”
Having said this, Jiang Wei paused, swallowed his saliva and continued: "Then Sun Cheng is also a smart man. After leaving the East Palace, he put this letter in an envelope from the Yulin Army as a cover, and then handed it over to others for preparation. Sent to Peking."
"I arranged for someone in secret to stop the man outside the city in accordance with the rules. He was staying in the Jinyiwei Yamen at this time. I did not dare to hesitate. After getting this letter, I sent it to the palace and presented it to His Majesty. "
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard the reason, he nodded silently. With a flick of his hand, he put aside the pieces of paper copied by Jin Yiwei for future filing. Instead, he picked up Zhu Yunxi's autographed letter and started reading it.
As soon as he read the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing.
In Jiang Wei's puzzled eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "He is a good man, and he also knows that we asked him to leave the palace to study military affairs. It was the fourth child who said good things in front of us for him. Now I wrote a letter and I still know it." Thanks a lot.”
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to look down.
During this period, the smile never left his face, and he muttered in a low voice from time to time: "This word is really meant to catch someone blind! They have no character, no charm, and are even worse than an old farmer like us!"
The commander of the Jin Yiwei, Jiang Wei, stood aside and was confused.
Is Your Majesty really not angry at the emperor's grandson's private letter to the clan and vassal king?
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang murmured to himself in a low voice: "This boy actually wants the fourth child to send all three of his children to study with him in the future?"
After reading this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally stopped and frowned slightly, as if he was deep in thought.
Jiang Wei was frightened when he saw it.
If they hadn't known it themselves, they would probably have thought that the prince had ordered Zhu Yunxi, the nephew of His Highness King Yan, to ask King Yan to send the three princes to Yingtian as hostages.
"Confused!"
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again, but he cursed in a low voice.
After scolding, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the ink pen on the desk and started writing on Zhu Yunxi's letter paper.
In today's Ming Dynasty, only the emperor and the prince can use the red pen.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang lift his pen, Jiang Yu couldn't help but look up curiously.
"I heard that Gao Chi is weak and sick, but he can respond to the sky and stay with Yunxi to rest and recuperate his body and bones."
Just taking a look at it, Jiang Wei was shocked.
Your Majesty is so doting on Emperor Yunxi's grandson!
Unknowingly, Jiang Yu didn't notice that Zhu Yuanzhang was already looking at him.
In a state of panic.
Zhu Yuanzhang never got angry, but said calmly: "That kid Gao Chi is fat, and it's bitterly cold in the north. He can only take care of himself. Gao Xu and Gao Sui are like the fourth child. If you stay in Peiping, I can learn more about dot formations from them." ability."
Jiang Wei couldn't understand why the emperor would explain this to himself.
He could only nod his head blankly, look away, and not dare to take another look.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to read the letter.
Most of the story is about Zhu Yunxi's longing for the Mobei grassland and his thirst for knowledge about how the Ming Dynasty fought against the Yuan people.
At the end, Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken the letter and sent it to Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei hurriedly bowed and held the letter with both hands.
I heard Zhu Yuanzhang say again: "Let the man you left in the Jinyi Guards tell Lao Si that when he comes back from the Northern Expedition this time, he will pick a few clever ones from the prisoners and send them back to the emperor's grandson to catch and train with them."
Jiang Wei nodded and kept it in mind.
After all, when this letter was sent to Jinyiwei, he had read it from beginning to end with his own eyes. He knew that Zhu Yunxi asked King Yan to return from the northern expedition this year and send some Yuan prisoners to respond to Heaven's request.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had also finished reading the letter and explained the matter, but his hand was on the table with the copy of the paper copied by Jin Yiwei: "Go down and ask the man to take the letter and send it to Peiping early. Don't miss the fourth son's expedition." time."
Jiang Wei pretended to be worried and bowed out of Zhongji Hall.
Watching Jiang Yu leave, Zhu Yuanzhang faintly withdrew his gaze and looked at the pieces of paper pressed under his palm.
"This kid..."
After muttering in a low voice, Zhu Yuanzhang gently folded the pieces of paper and placed them in a small box under the desk.
…
A few days later.
The main hall was on vacation, and Cao Guogong went to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion on errands.
Zhu Yunxi woke up early in the morning and suddenly felt a little idle.
Nowadays, Fang Xiaoru often makes him famous among scholars.
Among the generals, there was also Li Jiujiang who was shocked by the novel military arguments he often broke out, which then spread among the generals.
Every day, Zhu Yunxi lived a three-point and one-line life between the main hall, Cao Guogong's mansion and the East Palace.
The memorial on colonization that the old man gave me was only half written.
Cai Die asked: "What does Your Highness want to do today?"
Look at the white clouds on the horizon and the clear blue sky.
Zhu Yunxi stretched out: "Go and call Sun Cheng and follow me out of the palace."
"Where are you going, Your Highness?"
Sun Cheng, who followed Zhu Yunxi outside the palace, asked with some confusion.
Zhu Yunxi didn't look back: "Looking for a place to have a drink."
Sun Cheng was stunned for a moment and whispered: "Shall I arrange for His Highness to go to the Qinhuai River?"
Zhu Yunxi stopped and looked back at Sun Cheng with dissatisfaction: "Why are you going to such a place?"
Sun Cheng opened his mouth, glanced around, and was speechless for a moment.
Zhu Yunxi turned around and continued to walk out of the palace: "Go to Jiaofangsi, where we can eat and drink for free."
Sun Cheng just woke up.
If it is true, Your Highness will live a good life!
With a sigh in his heart, he no longer hesitated and followed him out of the palace.
It didn't take long.
Zhu Yunxi had already led Sun Cheng to the gate of the Jiaofang Division.
The boy who was standing in the corridor to greet him saw that the visitor was so impressive and that he was a young man from the royal family at the lowest level. He immediately came forward with a smile on his face.
"Young Master, please come in. Today there is a beautiful lady who has recently become popular in Yingtian and is singing. She will definitely be able to accompany the Young Master with wine."
As if he was born in heaven, Zhu Yunxi took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and dropped it into the boy's hand.
"Elegant room, two bottles and three white wines."
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi looked back at Sun Cheng. He seemed to have a wife?
Immediately he said: "Call me a virtuous and quiet girl. She will only accompany you with wine and do nothing else. She should look good and have a plump figure."
This is a regular customer!
The boy looked at Zhu Yunxi's appearance, but he didn't expect that today's young guest would be so sympathetic.
The smile on his face became even brighter, and his body almost bowed to the ground. He stretched out his hands sideways and said, "Young master, please come in. I will arrange it properly for you, and I will never let you go home disappointed."
