Chapter 56 Zhu Yuanzhang’s plan
The visitor was none other than Princess Anqing.
Princess Anqing threw herself on He Xi, and the execution eunuch stopped immediately. But Princess Anqing looked up and saw that her brother, the prince, was looking at her in surprise.
Princess Anqing looked down and found that the person under her was He Xi, but she saw He Xi struggling to turn her head and look at him. The two looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
An Qing suddenly turned red and felt ashamed. His face was burned from the base of his neck to his hair, and his whole body wanted to turn into ashes and dissipate into the sky.
Princess Anqing thought to herself: "How could this happen?"
Princess Anqing was very confused about this matter.
She was originally training as a female worker in the harem, but somehow she heard a eunuch next to her whisper that the prince had made the emperor angry again and was doing his duty in the Qing palace. He was beaten very hard.
The whole person was a bloody mess.
Princess Anqing was shocked and immediately thought of a way. She went to see her mother first. It turned out that Queen Ma had already fallen asleep after taking the medicine. The imperial doctor had ordered that no one should disturb the Queen. Princess Anqing was anxious and rushed to Qianqing Palace.
As a result, the guards of Qianqing Palace refused to let her in. Pulled at the door for a while.
This made Princess Anqing more and more convinced that her eldest brother, the prince, was being beaten.
The prince and Princess Anqing are real brothers and sisters, the kind who share the same father and mother. The prince is a kind-hearted person and treats his nominal brother He Xi quite well. Not to mention the youngest biological sister.
That couldn't be better.
How could Princess Anqing not be anxious?
In a hurry, I didn't even think about it carefully. I can only force my way in by relying on my status as a princess. As soon as he came in, he saw a shirtless man being pinned down on a bench, covered in blood and being beaten.
Didn't see clearly who it was? Just jumped on it.
Now I can see it clearly.
Princess Anqing, the more anxious she became, the more embarrassed she became, not to mention seeing her brother, the crown prince, standing here so well, and her father. He gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, covering his face with his hands. He immediately turned around and left.
And He Xi didn't know what happened. She was confused and didn't understand why Princess Anqing pounced on him and left in the blink of an eye. What happened in it.
However, what He Xi didn't understand was still behind.
These are actually all in Zhu Yuanzhang's calculations.
He Xi's performance in Hangzhou was acceptable in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, He Xi stood firm. This firm position is to stand on the side of the Zhu family, and no one else. On the Huaixi side, He Xi will have no place even if he leans up. After all, the big bosses of the Huaixi Group are all founding heroes. He Xi could only be the younger brother among younger brothers.
He Xi's approach is completely different from that of the scholar-bureaucrat group. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that He Xi had his own philosophical system behind his actions.
This is what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know.
In addition, his character is acceptable and he can be cultivated. It must be tied to your own side.
You have to be your own person.
Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts as an old farmer were determined, and he felt that he was a human being. They are my relatives. Not even in-laws. Because of the dictatorship of foreign relatives in history. Therefore, the people Zhu Yuanzhang valued were his sons and sons-in-law.
Even when Zhu Yuanzhang was dying, his son-in-law Mei Yin was among the important ministers who were entrusted to Zhu Yuanzhang.
In addition, He Xi had a small relationship with Princess Anqing. Zhu Yuanzhang decided to let Princess Anqing marry He Xi.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused about what to do about this matter. Fu Youde is fighting in Yunnan at the moment, and has already faced off against the Yunnan Liang Wangjun. The victory or defeat has not been reported yet, but Zhu Yuanzhang estimates that it will take more than ten days to capture Qujing City. After Qujing calmed down, there was no danger to defend Yunnan. King Liang was captured. That's it for the past few days.
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that the Fu family wanted to marry Princess Anqing.
He couldn't help but chill the hero's heart. That's why today's incident happened. Even if the Fu family knew about it, it was the younger children who caused trouble. The old father could only deal with the aftermath for them, and then find another concubine to marry.
Even if Fu Youde knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, he did not dare to say anything. He can only direct his hatred towards He Xi.
Fu Youde is not a core figure in Huaixi, but he can be considered one of them. With this festival between He Xi and Huaixi, they will naturally grow apart in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang killed several birds with one stone and arranged everything for He Xi. Naturally, he couldn't show his thoughts at this moment. Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly, furious and said: "Come here, beat He Xi to death. This brat dares to seduce my daughter under my nose."
It's just that He Xi hasn't figured out anything from the previous fog. Suddenly I encountered Zhu Yuanzhang's death threat again. Everyone was dumbfounded.
The prince hugged Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Brother He, a small stick will make you suffer, but a big stick will make you walk. Why don't you leave quickly?"
It was too late for He Xi to figure out what was going on. Seeing such an angry Zhu Yuanzhang, He Xi could only avoid him for a while. Even He Xi couldn't walk at this moment. He had just hit him several times, although it was just a flesh wound. , but He Xi had never suffered such an injury. The pain was excruciating. Whenever I moved around, my back felt like pins and needles.
Fortunately, the eunuchs around him responded promptly, especially Xu Zheng, who took care of many things. Naturally, he knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant and would not really let He Xi die here. At his suggestion,
The eunuchs around He Xi reacted quickly and immediately sent He Xi away.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw He Xi leaving, he was still angry and said: "This stinky boy, I have to make him look good." At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was a bit really angry. After all, every father-in-law dislikes his son-in-law.
The prince waved his hand and asked everyone around him to go down. He lowered his voice and said: "Father, what are you going to do? Even if you want An Qing to marry Brother He, you shouldn't do this. This will ruin An Qing's reputation. what to do?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Did you see it? Since when did you see it?"
The prince said: "From what my father said, it was obvious when Brother He seduced An Qing. Today it is obvious that An Qing misjudged the person and thought it was me who was beaten. Please plead for me. Even if there is something wrong, for the sake of An Qing's reputation, he should Big things are reduced to small things, small things are reduced to small things. The father actually said such words, clearly nailing this matter. And although the palace ban is strict, there are some things that cannot be hidden. What happened today will definitely be leaked in half a year at most. Father's thoughts are already clear. It's just that the child doesn't know why he does this."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "How is He Xi?"
The prince said, "There is a genius. He is also an old member of my family and can be reused. However, it is not necessary to marry Anqing."
In fact, from the prince's point of view, the most valuable thing about He Xi is not how He Xi is. But He Xi can gain Zhu Yuanzhang's trust. The prince also trusted his father's abilities. Since Zhu Yuanzhang felt that He Xi could be trusted. The prince also believed that He Xi could be trusted.
It should be noted that for those in power, trust is a very precious resource.
It doesn't matter if someone you can trust is less capable. Moreover, He Xi also has some abilities in other aspects. From this point of view, after more than ten years of training, it is possible to become a pillar of the court in the future.
However, there is a difference between closeness and distance.
Although He Xi is good, An Qing is the prince's biological sister.
In the eyes of the prince, my sister is unparalleled in the world. Although He Xi is good, she is only a candidate. It doesn’t have to be He Xi. But what happened today, I'm afraid for the sake of Anqing's reputation, I have no choice but to marry He Xi.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "He Xi is a man of great talent. It's just that there are many things. It's not time to tell you. But I will tell you sooner or later. You just need to remember that if He Xi is not used by me, he will be killed." No future troubles.”
"Don't worry, it's not bad for your sister to marry He Xi."
That's what happened. The prince had nothing to say. It's just that he secretly speculated. He thought: "So, He Xi is not my brother anymore. Although He Xi is talented in ordnance, but little Doyle, there is nothing for my father to value."
"Could it be Zen Master Dazhi? Is there really such a person?"
The prince didn't think He Xi had any amazing talents. At least the prince didn't notice it. He didn't know about the private confrontation between He Xi and the emperor, so he began to speculate. Just like when future generations look at a person's abilities, they first look at their academic qualifications.
After coming out of Tsinghua University and Peking University, I immediately took a high look, even if I didn't see it, there was something outstanding about this person.
But in this era, what matters is the succession of teachers.
Just like Song Lian. Although Song Lian is a literary master, when many people look at Song Lian, the first thing they look at is Song Lian's inheritance. From Zhu Xi to Song Lian, the middle line is clear. It was obvious that Song Lian was an authentic disciple of Zhu Zi, so he naturally had to take a high look at him.
It was easy for the prince to doubt what kind of person this Zen Master Dazhi was.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Go and see He Xi and comfort him. Don't frighten him. Tell him a little bit about my thoughts. Remember. Tell him that if An Qing doesn't marry him, he will have no choice but to die." .”
The prince sighed and said, "Yes." He found that Zhu Yuanzhang was ready to go out and asked, "Father, where are you going?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Go see your mother."
Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements for today did not include greeting Queen Ma. And Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that since his little move today could not be hidden from the prince, he could not hide it from Queen Ma either. The palace is Queen Ma's territory, and only Queen Ma doesn't want to know. There is nothing that Queen Ma does not know.
It’s related to Queen Ma’s youngest daughter. Queen Ma will definitely find out what happened today.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't rush to report. The queen is about to come to investigate. That would be bad. The emperor also wants to save face?
The prince looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's leaving figure and suddenly smiled for some reason. Then he had a headache. He didn't know how to face He Xi. He suddenly changed from the illegitimate brother he thought he was to his future sister-in-law.
This jump is quite big.
