"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not come out yet."
…
Inside the Prince's Mansion.
Zhu Biao's face was quite heavy. It had been almost an hour since Zhu Yuanzhang entered the prison.
One hour is equal to two hours. Even in the Ming Dynasty, this could not be regarded as a short time.
Is there anything you want to talk about for a whole hour?
Could it be that Su Jing angered his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, and that's why he never came out?
"No, I have to go and see for myself."
Zhu Biao couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go and see the situation by himself.
"Brother, calm down!"
The person who offered the advice turned out to be King Qin Zhu Ping.
Compared to the frizzy and wild temper before, Zhu Xiang is much calmer now.
Perhaps after the soap business, Zhu Xi understood that impatience could not solve any problems, only calmness could cope with everything.
Zhu Xi continued: "Father didn't come out, and Mr. Su didn't come out either. This means that Father and Mr. Su should still be talking. With Mr. Su's intelligence, he might have mentioned something that Father wanted to hear. In my opinion, Come on, it doesn’t matter how long your father stays in the prison, as long as Mr. Su can come out with your father in the end, everything will be fine.”
Zhu Fan nodded and said: "Yes, eldest brother, what the second brother said makes sense. Mr. Su's intelligence is like that of heaven. There are some things that may be easier to talk about with father in prison. We'd better wait patiently." , if it disturbs Father and Mr. Su, it would be a bad thing done out of good intentions."
After listening to Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan's advice, Zhu Biao's mood calmed down a little, but he was still a little worried.
At this moment, Zhu Di said: "Brother, you are upset. Mr. Su is your teacher. As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. If I were you, I would definitely do what a prince should do. In this case, even if If my father really wants to do anything to Mr. Su, he will also consider the attitude of my eldest brother."
These words immediately made Zhu Biao sober up.
In fact, among Lao Zhu's sons, Zhu Biao was the one who was raised with the most attention, and Zhu Biao was also very outstanding.
Even though he never really became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he definitely had the talent to govern the country.
"Fourth brother, you are right. If I care, I will become confused."
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Biao seriously. Of course, there was nothing harsh in his eyes, only gratitude.
Lao Zhu's sons, at least when Zhu Biao was alive, had no bad feelings.
Because everyone knows that there is only one candidate for the throne, and that is Zhu Biao.
And Zhu Biao, the elder brother, is also like a father.
"Brother, believe in yourself and also believe in Mr. Su."
Zhu Di replied.
Su Jing is Zhu Biao's teacher. The better Zhu Biao's performance is, the more competent Su Jing is as a teacher.
On the other hand, if Zhu Biao panics when something happens, it can only mean that Su Jing's teaching is too poor.
As a prince, it is the most basic thing to remain calm in every situation.
After all, being an emperor requires much more pressure than this.
Zhu Di obviously saw the key to this, and Zhu Biao also understood it now.
…
Zhongshu Province.
Li Shanchang was handling government affairs in his office. Having just returned, he did not choose to distribute most of the affairs, but did it himself without any carelessness.
Dong Dong————
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Li Shanchang said without raising his head.
With a creak, Hu Weiyong walked in, holding a stack of documents in his hand: "Prime Minister, this is from the Ministry of Revenue."
"Yeah, I understand. Just put it on the table over there. I'll take a look at it later."
Li Shanchang held a magnifying glass and looked at the documents in his hand carefully.
Now this magnifying glass has basically become a standard equipment for civil servants.
Li Shanchang looked at it for a while, then raised his head. When he was about to take down a document, he caught a glimpse of Hu Weiyong, who was standing respectfully.
"Why, is there anything else, Weiyong?"
Li Shanchang asked.
Hu Weiyong replied: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty has gone to the prison. He should have gone to see Su Jing, but more than an hour has passed and he still hasn't come out."
"Then what?"
Li Shanchang said calmly.
Hu Weiyong was stunned, and was very surprised by Li Shanchang's dull reaction.
This is news related to Su Jing, why does Li Shanchang seem to be indifferent.
"Prime Minister, if His Majesty really wants to do something to Su Jing, then for us..."
"Your Majesty doesn't want to do anything."
In the middle of Hu Weiyong's words, Li Shanchang interrupted him directly.
"Why?"
Hu Weiyong said doubtfully.
But in just a moment, he figured it out.
"The Prime Minister has great views, but Weiyong understands!"
Hu Weiyong immediately cupped his hands towards Li Shanchang and said, "The Prime Minister has thought carefully about it, and Weiyong is impressed!"
"oh."
Li Shanchang asked: "Tell me, what do you understand?"
Hu Weiyong immediately replied: "The fact that Your Majesty went to prison was discovered so quickly, it means that His Majesty gave permission."
"Why did Your Majesty want to deliberately expose his whereabouts? This can only explain His Majesty's purpose. Perhaps it is not just for Su Jing. Your Majesty also wants to see the reactions of the officials, the Crown Prince and others."
Lao Zhu was the Ming Emperor, a very controlling emperor.
If he didn't want others to know his whereabouts, that would be too simple.
Li Shanchang nodded and said: "Yes, Weiyong, now you understand His Majesty's thoughts more and more, and I feel relieved a lot."
Hu Weiyong immediately said: "The Prime Minister taught me well, but Weiyong still needs to learn."
Li Shanchang said calmly: "Okay, let's just do what we should do."
"Yes, Prime Minister."
Hu Weiyong immediately turned and left.
…
The gate of Yingtian Mansion's prison.
Some people understood what Lao Zhu was thinking, and naturally some people didn't.
Zhu Liangzu just didn't understand.
When he learned that Lao Zhu went to the prison again and stayed there for a long time without coming out, his thoughts immediately became active.
Because of Hu Weiyong's warning, he temporarily held back.
But after waiting for a long time, there was no follow-up from Hu Weiyong, which made Zhu Liangzu a little unable to bear it.
Zhu Liangzu had never forgotten his hatred for Su Jing.
He did not dare to retaliate against King Qin Zhu Ping, but he would definitely deal with Su Jing, not to mention that Su Jing was still in prison.
"Your Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter!"
As soon as Zhu Liangzu arrived at the door, he was immediately stopped by the guard at the door.
Zhu Liangzu said with a stern face: "I am here, don't you know me?"
After all, he was also the Marquis of Yongjia, which was a very high status in the Ming Dynasty.
The guards themselves are soldiers, so there is no possibility that they don't recognize them.
"Master Marquis, His Majesty's order is for anyone to please wait here."
The guard still persisted and showed no intention of giving way.
Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor, and his orders are the first priority.
Zhu Liangzu's face looked a little ugly. He looked inside the gate, but couldn't see anything.
"How long has your Majesty been in there?"
Zhu Liangzu asked directly, his face was quite serious.
The guard was stunned for a moment and replied: "More than an hour."
Zhu Liangzu immediately said: "You know it's been more than an hour and His Majesty hasn't come out yet. If something happens, can you bear it?"
As soon as he said this, the guard's face became ugly.
Zhu Yuanzhang is no one else, he is the emperor of Ming Dynasty.
The chat between Lao Zhu and Su Jing was a private chat between the two of them, with no one else present.
"Why don't you get out of my way! If something happens to your Majesty, you are the only one I will ask!"
After all, Zhu Liangzu was a general who had been fighting for many years, and he was still very powerful.
In this panic, the guards also moved out of the way.
Zhu Liangzu immediately entered the prison, and soon he met Chen Daquan and Sun Jiaxing.
"Where is your Majesty?"
Zhu Liangzu asked directly towards the two of them, his voice stern.
"inside."
Sun Jiaxing replied that when he first met Zhu Liangzu, he was frightened by this posture.
Chen Daquan blocked Zhu Liangzu's way: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has an order that no one is allowed to enter and disturb you. Please wait a moment!"
He was a prison chief, a newly promoted prison chief, and did not know Zhu Liangzu.
But Chen Daquan could still tell that Zhu Liangzu's identity was definitely not simple.
"I have important matters, please get out of my way."
Zhu Liangzu said unceremoniously.
The guards outside were Zhu Yuanzhang's personal soldiers. Zhu Liangzu also explained a few words that the people inside were just jailers and he would not give any face.
"Sir, it's better not to make things difficult for lower officials."
Chen Daquan did not give in at all and looked serious.
Zhu Liangzu frowned and said, "Do you know who I am? How dare you block my way? Don't you want to live?"
"Old Chen, why don't you forget it? This gentleman should have something important to see His Majesty."
Sun Jiaxing whispered to Chen Daquan.
Although Zhu Liangzu still did not reveal his identity, but he claimed to be a prince, there were only so many possible identities.
"My lord, lower officials have their duties."
Chen Daquan remained firm and had no intention of giving way.
Zhu Liangzu snorted coldly and said, "Do you know how long His Majesty has been in there? If something goes wrong with Your Majesty, can you bear the responsibility?"
Zhu Liangzu came in a hurry, and there were guards outside, so it was naturally impossible for him to bring a knife in.
Now that Chen Daquan is so resolute in front of him, force is definitely not the best solution. He can only use words to coerce him.
However, this time, he underestimated Chen Daquan.
"His Majesty's order is that no one can disturb us."
Chen Daquan still insisted.
Although he didn't know what the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Su Jing was like, he knew clearly that Su Jing would definitely not do anything to Zhu Yuanzhang.
There is no danger or anything like that.
"You don't even care about His Majesty's safety. Do you know what you are saying? I am the Marquis of Yongjia. Do you want to die?"
Zhu Liangzu couldn't believe that a mere jailer dared to deny him face like this.
He revealed his identity directly.
"Yong...Yongjiahou!"
Sun Jiaxing was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do for a while.
These are the founding heroes of the country. Even if we kill the two of them here, nothing will happen.
"Old Chen, otherwise forget it."
Sun Jiaxing advised Chen Daquan.
"Master Marquis, I hope you understand where your responsibilities lie."
Chen Daquan's right hand was already on the saber at his waist, and he was already ready to take action.
"No, Lao Chen, whatever you do, don't be stupid!"
Sun Jiaxing really didn't expect that things would develop like this, and that his old colleague would be so courageous.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Zhu Liangzu's face turned livid and he rubbed his neck: "It seems that I really want to do it myself, so let me see if you, the jailor, are qualified to be so rampant!"
Although Zhu Liangzu didn't want to take action, it seemed that he had no other choice but to take action now.
Chen Daquan stood ready: "If Marquis Yongjia insists on doing this, then I will only be offended!"
For a moment, the two of them were at war with each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Zhu Liangzu!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding sounded, directly interrupting the two of them.
"His Majesty!"
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Zhu Liangzu, Chen Daquan and Sun Jiaxing immediately knelt down in the direction where Zhu Yuanzhang came.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked out slowly, followed by Su Jing.
"Zhu Liangzu, who gave you the courage to trespass? Didn't I convey my order to you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Liangzu with a straight face.
Zhu Liangzu immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I am worried about your safety. It is too dangerous to be with a criminal like Su Jing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Worried about my safety? Do you think I am not as good as Su Jing? Didn't you convince me back then?"
There are still some stories between Lao Zhu and Zhu Liangzu.
Zhu Liangzu did not join Lao Zhu's camp from the beginning, but was Lao Zhu's opponent.
In the 16th year of Zhengzheng year, Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Ningguo and captured Zhu Liangzu. Because of his bravery and good fighting skills, he still let him hold his original position.
Unfortunately, Zhu Liangzu did not intend to surrender, but pretended to surrender, and soon rebelled and returned to the Yuan Dynasty.
After that, he defeated Zhu Yuanzhang's troops several times, and even Chang Yuchun was injured. He was very brave.
Finally, Lao Zhu personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, and then captured Zhu Liangzu again.
After that, he surrendered for the second time and officially became Lao Zhu's first major force.
It can be said that Zhu Liangzu was quite clear about Zhu Yuanzhang's combat effectiveness.
As a general who leads troops, command is one aspect, and his physical fitness is also very important.
Zhu Yuanzhang is quite big and strong. In terms of bravery, he is also a fierce general in the world!
On the other hand, Su Jing looked like a weak scholar.
Although Su Jing also practices Wuqinxi Juntiquan and other things on weekdays, compared with people like Zhu Yuanzhang, there is still a big gap.
Zhu Liangzu's words made Lao Zhu very angry.
Not to mention one Su Jing, even ten Su Jings would be no match for Zhu Yuanzhang!
"I don't dare."
Zhu Liangzu said quickly.
What happened back then has always been what Zhu Liangzu regretted the most.
Even if he was granted a title, he still could not enter the core of the Huaixi Group. His background was such that he could not change it.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Liangzu and said nothing. He turned to the kneeling Chen Daquan and said, "Your name is Chen Daquan, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Chen Daquan replied immediately.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "You did a good job today. From today on, you will be transferred to the Imperial Guard's Mansion."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Although Chen Daquan has always been a calm person, now he is also a little uncontrollably excited.
From the prison of Yingtian Mansion to the Mansion of the Qinjun Duwei, it can be said that one has reached the sky in one step.
Sun Jiaxing looked envious and regretful in his heart. Why didn't he stop it as firmly as Chen Daquan?
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.
