"Guo Thief, if His Majesty takes the blame, you will be the chief culprit!"
Zhu Fu turned his head and cursed fiercely at Guo An.
On the side, Tang Yun, Zhu Liang, Li Wang and others were also full of strange emotions, and some agreed with Zhu Fu's words.
In fact, as early as when Zhu Di led Zhu Biao into the side hall, Guo An's eyelids twitched slightly, but he did not dare to stop him.
At this moment, he could only argue stubbornly: "Zhu Changshi, don't get excited, it's just a bath and massage. Could it be that Zhu Changshi hasn't experienced it in a bathhouse in the city?"
Old man Zhu Fu's face turned black, his hands were trembling, and he pointed at Guo An fiercely.
"Guo thief, don't slander me..."
Guo An was not annoyed at all and continued: "It is said in the classic "Biography of Bian Quecang Gong" that in ancient times, there was a doctor called Yu Tu. He did not treat diseases with decoctions, but with wine, bridges, cases, and poisons. Ironing and waiting..."
"In classics such as Zhuangzi, Laozi, Xunzi, and Mozi, there are also descriptions of self-massage..."
"There is even a classic book called "Emperor Qi Bo's Ten Volumes of Massage" that has been handed down... The symptoms are frightening, the meridians are blocked, the disease is caused by unkindness, and it can be treated with massage and wine..."
“From the Sui Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, there were also massage doctors established in the palace.
Therefore, His Highness the Crown Prince has been exhausted from traveling and traveling all the way. Your Highness, why not take His Royal Highness to take a bath and massage to dredge the meridians and relieve fatigue? "
Zhu Fu's eyes widened, but he also calmed down.
"Guo Changshi has actually read these classics?"
Guo An took a long breath in his heart, and he finally explained the matter.
"Zhu Changshi, don't underestimate me. I always like to read some strange books. I have read some of the books in the library in the academy!"
Hearing this, Cao Zhen and Li Jinglong, who were standing aside, couldn't bear it any longer and asked: "Everyone, I wonder what is so special about this hall that makes these two chief ministers behave like this?"
Hearing this, Guo An and Zhu Fu looked embarrassed again.
"It's just a place for bathing and massage!"
"Bath and massage?"
Hearing this, Li Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief.
However, thinking of his mission, he still said: "Your Majesty has sent me to escort His Highness the Crown Prince. I want to go in!"
On the side, Cao Zhen also nodded slightly.
Guo An and Zhu Fu looked at each other. They couldn't stop this, and neither could they, the two young palace chiefs. They could only say helplessly: "Please, Duke Cao!"
Li Jinglong nodded slightly and walked in.
Seeing this, Cao Zhen quickly followed.
"well……"
Seeing this, Guo An quickly stopped him, "Please be patient, Marquis Jingchuan!"
"Um?"
Cao Zhen stopped slightly and said, "I wonder if Guo Changshi has anything else to do?"
Cao Zhen was from Haozhou and was the first to follow Zhu Yuanzhang in raising troops. At the same time, Cao Zhen's wife was also Lan Yu's sister.
Therefore, Cao Zhen can also be regarded as Zhu Biao's die-hard confidant.
However, compared with Li Jinglong, he is still a little far behind.
"Your Highness is taking a bath in the palace. It is not suitable for too many people to enter. Why don't you ask Marquis Jingchuan to rest in another palace first?"
"Such a big side hall..."
Cao Zhen turned his head and glanced at the main hall where Li Jinglong entered, then remembered something and said slowly, "With Duke Cao and His Highness King Yan here, His Highness the Crown Prince will be safe and sound.
So, I’m sorry for bothering you all! "
Guo An, Zhu Fu, and Tang Yun all breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he quickly took Cao Zhen and walked to the side of the hall.
The fewer people who know about the situation in that side hall, the better!
Indeed, when Li Jinglong walked into the side hall and saw the situation inside, his eyes widened and he immediately regretted it.
Zhu Di and Zhu Biao were lying naked in a large pool.
On both sides of each person, there were two healthy women in minimal clothes, feeding Zhu Biao and Zhu Di some iced fruits.
Later, with Zhu Di's encouragement, the two of them lay down on a wooden bed together. The two strong women actually gave the prince a bath with such bold moves...
Li Jinglong wished that his eyes would go blind immediately. The ancient foolish kings Xia Jie and Yin Zhou were nothing more than this!
How could King Yan be so bold?
"Jiujiang, what are you doing standing there? Also, what's that look in your eyes?"
Finally, Zhu Di found Li Jinglong standing in the corner with a strange face.
Li Jinglong is the eldest son of Li Wenzhong, King of Qiyang. Jiujiang is both the Chinese character and nickname.
Not only did Li Wenzhong have outstanding military exploits, he was worthy of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and his portrait was also hung in the third place in the Temple of Meritorious Officials.
The most important thing is that Li Wenzhong was the son of the second sister of Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. Because of his bravery and good fighting skills, he was adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang as his adopted son and given the surname Zhu. Later, the surname Li was restored.
Moreover, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Li Wenzhong presided over the Governor's Office, which was the highest military and political office in the Ming Dynasty at that time. He was also in charge of the Imperial College.
It can be said that he was favored by Zhu Yuanzhang and had overwhelming power.
Unfortunately, he died of illness in the 17th year of Hongwu. In the 19th year of Hongwu, Li Jinglong inherited the title of Duke of Cao that Li Wenzhong had held during his lifetime.
Similarly, Li Jinglong was also well-read in military literature and was considered the most trusted by Lao Zhu. He often ordered Li Jinglong to go out to the capital to train the army, preparing to train Li Jinglong into a general like Li Wenzhong.
Unfortunately, Lao Zhu didn't know that Li Jinglong, the Ming general he carefully cultivated, would actually become a Ming war god in the future, but he would just be passed down through the ages in another way.
However, at this moment, Li Jinglong is still a general of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Li Jinglong, who is only a few years apart in age, has a good relationship with his uncles Zhu Di and Zhu Biao.
Especially Zhu Di, who also likes military affairs and has a relationship with Li Wenzhong, so they often play together.
After being discovered by Zhu Di and Zhu Biao, Li Jinglong no longer hid, lowered his head, and walked over respectfully.
"Your Highnesses are taking a bath and massaging here... Jinglong doesn't want to disturb us!"
"Pooh!"
Zhu Di scolded directly, "You think we didn't see that contemptuous look in your kid's eyes just now?
Could it be that your kid thinks that, not only does our King Yan enjoy luxurious things, but he also drags the prince to enjoy them together?
I think we are like a wine pond and a forest of meat... The ancient emperors of Xia Jie, Yin and Zhou were no more than this..."
Li Jinglong's face changed slightly and he quickly explained, "Jinglong doesn't dare!"
"Don't you dare?"
Zhu Di couldn't help but muttered something, and then got angry, "You kid still said you weren't thinking about it?"
"Hmph, do you know that these fitness women around us have specialized in acupuncture, massage and massage?
Even the massage doctors in the palace are nothing more than that! "
"My father asked you to protect my eldest brother all the way. My eldest brother is safe and sound, but how can I bear the exhaustion of traveling and traveling with my eldest brother's physical strength?
If I don’t get a good massage, my brother will definitely be sore when he wakes up tomorrow morning..."
"Also, your kid has been studying those military books and classics all day long... Could it be that your kid hasn't read "The Biography of Bian Quecang Gong" or "Ten Volumes of Emperor Qi Bo's Massage"?
In ancient times...the meridians were blocked and diseases were caused by inhumanity, and they were treated with massage and brewing wine..."
Li Jinglong's expression gradually began to become weird.
It seemed that he had just heard these words once outside the palace. Except for some differences, everything else was exactly the same.
Zhu Di didn't know that just now, his chief minister Guo An had explained it to Li Jinglong in detail outside, but he still kept talking to himself.
"Jiujiang, you kid, don't show such an ignorant look. When we were in the capital, we didn't like reading as much as you did.
But now, we have built an academy outside the city. Inside the academy there is a six-story library with tens of thousands of classics.
Moreover, there is still a steady stream of original copies of classics being placed in the library every year...
When we have nothing to do, we often go to the library to take a look! "
At this moment, Zhu Biao gradually became less restrained. He swayed comfortably and praised: "I didn't expect that you, fourth brother, would also start to like reading!"
Zhu Di looked angry: "Brother underestimated us again!"
Li Jinglong still lowered his head and did not dare to say more. He was afraid that if he refuted it and made Zhu Di angry, he would beat him!
Zhu Biao smiled and said nothing. He had never been given such a comfortable massage before.
By this time, he was already a little drowsy!
Zhu Di still continued: "Brother, when you want to visit other places in the future, I will bring a few more massage doctors to give you a massage. It will be particularly comfortable...Brother?..."
Zhu Di turned around and saw that Zhu Biao was already asleep.
Immediately, he looked at Li Jinglong on the side and said fiercely: "We are all doing this to help my brother relieve the fatigue of traveling all the way!"
Li Jinglong nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, Jinglong understands!"
"Um!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly.
"Wait a minute, we will also call you two male masseurs. They have strong hands and can press the muscles on your body, so that the meridians and blood in your body can be dredged..."
"yes!"
Li Jinglong responded again.
However, there was some reluctance in my heart.
He also wants this kind of masseur... Unfortunately, he doesn't dare to say it directly!
…
And outside.
Guo An and Zhu Fu, two long-time officials, and Tang Yun, the commander of the Yanshan Guards, sat with Cao Zhen for a while.
Guo An and Zhu Fu made excuses to leave, leaving Tang Yun alone.
Cao Zhen didn't mind this either. Rough generals like him didn't want to talk to these civil servants.
And in Beiping Mansion.
After the news about His Royal Highness the Prince's sudden inspection of the Beiping Mansion spread, it caused a sensation.
…
The next day.
Guo An got up early, a quarter of an hour earlier than usual, and arrived at Prince Yan's Mansion.
However, what surprised him was that all the officials from Prince Yan's palace had already arrived!
"Why did Zhu Changshi come so early today?"
Guo An greeted Zhu Fu who looked solemn.
Zhu Fu glanced at Guo An and said helplessly: "Guo Changshi is late. The prince is inspecting Beiping Mansion. Although we are ministers of Prince Yan's Mansion, we should also be diligent and conscientious..."
Forehead!
Guo An was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the old man didn't know the purpose of the prince's visit, so he didn't say more.
Immediately, he nodded slightly to the officials around him, walked into his official room, and waited for Zhu Di's summons.
really.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour.
Zhu Di then summoned Zhu Fu and Guo An into the Cunxin Hall.
Zhu Di and Zhu Biao were sitting at the top in high spirits, especially Zhu Biao, who couldn't see the extremely tired look he had yesterday.
Guo An and Zhu Fu quickly greeted Zhu Biao and Zhu Di.
Afterwards, Zhu Di took Zhu Biao, Guo An, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Fu and others on the carriage and walked out of the city.
Wait until you get out of the city gate.
Zhu Fu asked with some confusion: "Where are Your Highness and Your Highness the Crown Prince going?"
Guo An said slowly: "Farm!"
"farm?"
Zhu Fu was startled, then stared at Guo An closely, "Guo Changshi knows why His Royal Highness is here?
But what good items have been developed on the farm? "
…
