"You will prepare the stay for Xiongying and the others. The palace next to the princess and I is empty, so we will prepare this palace for them..."
"I thank you, Your Highness, for being willing to entrust me with such an important matter."
…
Zhu Fang and Lu Ben came out of the study to communicate.
Zhu Xi glanced at Lu Ben and smiled...
Since he knew that his father and elder brother did not trust him, he would definitely not interfere too much in this matter.
Even if Lu Ben didn't come to ask for help, he would leave this matter to Lu Ben.
If something happened to Xiongying here, he couldn't afford it.
"That's right." Zhu Xi thought of something, suddenly stamped his feet and turned around, "If there is anyone in the world who understands Lao Si's talents, you are definitely one of them."
Humiliating?
The corners of Lu Ben's lips moved imperceptibly, trying hard to suppress the roiling feeling of humiliation.
What do you mean, he counts as one?
Just because, in order to make Zhu Silang fail the exam, he went out of Yingtian Mansion and asked unprecedentedly difficult questions in the college examination?
Zhu Fang didn't care about Lu Ben's mood, "Tell me, can the fourth child pass the exam in time for autumn?"
Yao Guangxiao was very confident in his fourth son's continuous sprint for the imperial examination.
It is predicted that the fourth child will definitely pass the Jinshi examination.
It is even possible to enter the top ten in the general examination and sprint for the palace examination.
In Yao Guangxiao's plan, once the fourth child succeeds in consecutive sprint trials, the plan will be officially implemented.
Even if the father does not tell the world: Zhu Silang is the King of Yan Zhu Di.
Yao Guangxiao also suggested that he spread the news through various channels.
Should he follow Yao Guangxiao's plan to fight for the heir apparent?
We must think carefully before the conference next spring.
If he is determined to fight for the heir apparent, he will plot against the fourth son for the first time and let the news that "Yan King Zhu Di pass four tests in a row and become a high school Jinshi" spread throughout the world.
Lu Ben secretly spied on Zhu Xiang, but could not see through the purpose of Zhu Xiang's inquiry. "Maybe he was concerned about Zhu Silang, or maybe he was jealous of Zhu Silang." '
"Your Highness, in terms of difficulty, this year's Yingtianfu Academy exam is basically the same as the Qiu Wei Juren exam. Zhu Silang has a high probability of passing the exam."
shame!
Let him affirm Zhu Silang, this is the greatest humiliation to him!
"Where's the Jinshi?"
The anger in Lu Ben's eyes flashed away, and he bowed and said, "Your Highness, Jinshi officials cannot judge."
Zhu Fang looked at Lu Ben, who was bowing his head, and couldn't help but smile. Lu Ben's tone was a bit wrong, and he waved his hand and said, "I know, you can go and do your work."
"I excuse myself."
Watching Lu Ben leave, Zhu Xi smiled and whistled as he left...
…
A few days later.
Beiping.
The south gate was under martial law by the King of Qin's personal guards.
Zhu Xi led a group of officials and stood waiting outside the city gate.
Ta-ta-ta...
Amidst the rapid sound of hoofbeats, a horse galloped forward, a hundred paces away. Before the horse could stand up, the scout had already nimbly turned over and dismounted.
He trotted to Zhu Xi and said, "Your Majesty, I met my grandson five miles away."
"Um."
Zhu Xi nodded and waved. After dismissing the scouts, he turned to Lu Ben and said, "You should be very clear about what heroes like to eat and what they like to use. Are you ready?"
"Your Highness, I am fully preparing according to Taisun's habit in the East Palace..."
…
Yao Guangxiao stood on the other side, listening to the conversation and staring straight ahead.
For some reason, the meeting with Zhu Silang got closer and closer.
The inexplicable irritability became more and more intense.
It even overwhelmed Zhu Silang's excitement about entering the game.
…
Squeak...squeak...
After a long journey, the ruts became dry and the noise became more frequent.
Zhu Tie was lying on the cart, holding a medical book, and said as he read: "Fourth brother, when you get to Peking, let your second brother help repair this cart. In the past few days, the noise has become louder and louder. I think Let’s take a nap, it’s so noisy that I can’t sleep.”
…
The words fell and I didn't wait for a response for a long time.
Zhu Xi put down the book and raised his head...
He saw Zhu Xiongying sitting on the side and looking up at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh. The hand holding the book poked Zhu Di in the back, "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Di came back to his senses and looked away from the tall Beiping City in the distance.
He never entered Beiping City before going to Liaodong or returning.
This city, for 'him', has too many fateful entanglements.
The starting point of Jingnan.
The capital of Ming Dynasty.
This all has something to do with 'him'.
Especially when he met Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, Zhang Wu, Tan Yuan, and Zhang Yu last time, he didn't even want to enter Beiping City at that time.
But it seems like I can't escape.
I still have to go in this time.
However, fortunately, history has changed. There is no Prince Yan's Mansion in Beiping City now, only the second brother's Prince Qin's Mansion.
Turning his head, he saw Xiongying looking at him curiously, rubbing his head with a smile, and looking at Zhu Ru angrily.
This bastard was so beautiful along the way.
Except for leaving the cart when seeing unfamiliar plants, most of the time I just lay on the cart with a book.
On the contrary, Xiongying was curious all the way. During the day, he kept his eyes wide open and observed the scenery along the way, never getting tired of it.
"There are many people waiting at the city gate. As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, you look like a prince. Get up!"
When Zhu Di heard that Zhu Di's tone was wrong, he got up and said, "Xiongying, Uncle Wu will hug you!"
As he spoke, he held Zhu Xiongying and sat on the other side of the car.
…
Dahuang pulled the cart slowly closer.
There were still about a hundred steps away, so Zhu Ping hurried up to meet him with a smile.
"Fourth child."
When he met Zhu Di, he first gave him a bear hug, and then took Zhu Di off guard and punched him.
"Xiongying, let my second uncle see if he has endured the hardship."
…
"Meet the grandson and the king of Zhou."
When Zhu Xi and Zhu Di were talking, Lu Ben was the first to salute Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Xi.
Local officials in Peiping and officials from the Prince of Qin's Palace followed suit and saluted.
After the salute, he looked at Zhu Di and then at the unmoved Lu Ben. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
They all knew that this time, in addition to the King of Zhou, there was also Zhu Di who was demoted to a commoner and disappeared for more than a year.
The driver driving the carriage was obviously Zhu Di, the former King of Yan.
But what should I call it?
Lu Ben is the prince's father-in-law. Lu Ben directly ignored King Yan. Does it represent the prince's attitude?
Lu Ben glanced at Zhu Di from the corner of his eye, the corners of his lips raised slightly...
He did it on purpose.
The officials in the Prince of Qin's Mansion all looked at Zhu Xi.
Zhu Ping's face turned slightly dark, secretly angry.
Lu Ben is playing tricks on his territory!
The fourth child might mistakenly think that he arranged it!
You dared to do this when you first came here. If you keep an eye on him later, will you try to slap him in the face again?
Yao Guangxiao glanced at Lu Ben out of the corner of his eye and smiled secretly. Lu Ben was in Peiping, which would soon make King Qin determined to fight for the heir apparent.
Zhu Xiongying was hugged by Zhu Xi. He glanced at Lu Ben, his face wrinkled slightly, and he stretched out his hand to Zhu Di, "Fourth uncle."
Zhu Xiongying's voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.
'Well done to Xiongying. The fourth brother's pain was not in vain. '
Zhu Xi smiled and handed Zhu Xiongying to Zhu Di with a smile.
Along the way, Xiongying had ruined his fourth brother miserably. He was very tired from traveling every day. When he rested every night, Xiongying slept very deeply.
Therefore, the "Dragon King sends water" every night, and the fourth brother wakes up in the vast ocean almost every day.
Then wash the clothes for Xiongying.
He was secretly glad that Xiongying didn't sleep with him.
"Meet the King of Yan!" The local officials in Peiping and the officials of the Prince of Qin's Palace looked at Zhu Xiongying climbing on Zhu Di's shoulders. They suddenly had their own ideas and saluted one after another.
Lu Ben was just the prince's father-in-law.
It can represent the prince to a certain extent.
But the grandson is the crown prince's legitimate son.
He is also the third generation successor to the Ming Dynasty.
The grandson no longer represents not only the prince, but also the attitude of the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty towards the King of Yan, Zhu Di.
Lu Ben peeked secretly. Zhu Xiongying, who was very close to Zhu Di, secretly clenched his fists...
Why?
how so?
How could Zhu Xiongying get so close to Zhu Silang so quickly?
He often visited the East Palace and knew Zhu Xiongying very well.
Typical person is a big kid!
I don't know how many people in the East Palace want to please the emperor's grandson. In the past, he was no exception.
But Zhu Xiongying's attitude towards them was always polite, but not very close.
How long have Zhu Silang and Zhu Xiongying been together?
It’s less than three months to go!
Is Zhu Silang so good at confusing people?
Not to mention Lu Ben's shock, Zhu Xi and others were also very surprised.
'variable! '
Yao Guangxiao ventriloquised and frowned slightly.
"Okay, Master Lu Ben and Dao Yan are staying. You can all disperse." Zhu Xi waved his hand.
Zhu Di glanced deeply at Dao Yan out of the corner of his eye.
As soon as they met, he recognized Yao Guangxiao.
I was very surprised that this monk with almost demonic intelligence actually became a monk next to his second brother and appeared in Peiping again.
History has changed.
But there are still many lines, and we are stubbornly rushing forward according to the established trajectory.
"Fourth, your second sister-in-law has given birth to a baby. She can't come out to greet you. She is waiting at the palace. Let's go back to the palace."
Zhu Di came back to his senses and asked with a smile: "Have you given birth to a boy or a girl?"
"We are not as powerful as you and Miaoyun, and we only gave birth to a boy."
…
Yao Guangxiao followed behind, looking at Zhu Di's back. He just noticed that Zhu Di was observing him, very vaguely, but it suddenly made him feel chilled all over.
Soon, the group returned to Prince Qin's Mansion.
Arrive at the palace courtyard where Zhu Xi and his wife live daily.
Guanyin Nu was already waiting outside the palace courtyard.
"Fourth brother." When he saw Zhu Di, he smiled and greeted him cordially: "Why didn't you take Miao Yun north this time?"
She was especially grateful to her fourth brother and Miaoyun.
Zhu Di smiled and greeted: "Yong Ming and Qihua are still too young."
…
The two sides chatted for a while.
Zhu Di went to see his nephew, and then Zhu Xi took Zhu Di and his party to the palace courtyard next door. As he walked, he introduced: "All this was arranged by Lu Ben. The main hall was decorated according to Xiongying's daily habits in the East Palace... "
As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhu Xiongying who was climbing on Zhu Di's shoulder, "Xiongying, go and see later. If you like it, if it suits your liking, or if it doesn't suit you, my second uncle will immediately have someone change it according to your habits."
Zhu Xiongying raised his head, "Second uncle, where does fourth uncle live? Xiongying wants to live with fourth uncle."
Zhu Cang and Lu Ben looked at each other in astonishment.
Zhu Xi explained with a smile: "Second brother, Xiongying has been living with fourth brother all this way."
As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Zhu Di.
If it weren't for Fourth Brother's previous lesson, he would definitely reveal Xiongying's bedwetting.
After setting off from Yizhen County, the fourth brother found an opportunity to talk to him alone for a long time.
The fourth brother thought about it for him, but he still had to follow his father's instructions and do some unscrupulous things behind his back.
It’s so torturous!
Do you want to confess to Fourth Brother?
'variable! '
Yao Guangxiao glanced at Zhu Di and Zhu Xiongying, and became more sure that the biggest change had already occurred before his plan even started.
Zhu Xi glanced at Yao Guangxiao calmly.
He reached out and touched Zhu Xiongying's head and said with a smile: "Your fourth uncle's residence is on the left side of the main hall, and your fifth uncle's residence is on the right side of the main hall."
"Let's go, my second uncle will take you to have a look."
After looking at the residence, Zhu Xi pointed at Yao Guangxiao, "Fourth, this is Dao Yan, the monk officer sent by my father to be with me. Dao Yan told me that you had a chance relationship, and you and Miao Yun took him in." Had a breakfast."
"Dao Yan is very good at chess. It's still some time before dinner. Why don't you talk about a game and let's take a look."
He was eager to see who was stronger and weaker between Yao Guangxiao and Lao Si.
The game is one-sided.
But you can also get a glimpse.
"The trip to Tuqiao Village that day was not the true face of Mount Lu. I hope King Yan will forgive me." Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "The poor monk also really wants to have a game with King Yan's chess player."
Zhu Xiongying watched eagerly.
Zhu Xi smiled and said nothing.
Only Lu Ben frowned slightly. He always felt that it was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
However, he also wanted to see Zhu Silang play chess.
Watching chess is a sight to behold!
"Fourth brother, promise to the great monk!" Zhu Zhu was eager to give it a try.
