Daming: Depriving Zhu Yunqi of luck at the beginning

Page 193

In the past few days, he must perform well, and let the historians and officials see his extremely filial and sorrowful appearance, so that they can write a special book and pave the way for him to compete for the reserve position in the future.

the other side.

Zhu Yunxi leaned on the chair in his room, his eyes dull.

His personal eunuch is carefully helping him to smear his knee with medicinal wine.

"Your Highness's leg is considered to be suffering today, and this servant feels distressed after seeing it."

"Why don't the slaves help you sew a soft bag under your knees tonight, and no one will be able to tell when you wear the dress."

Zhu Yunxi shook his hand feebly, sighed and said:

"It can't be done."

"Kneeling filial piety for your father, how can you do such a thing out of fear of pain?"

"Besides, my brother Zhu Yunqi has been staring at me, hoping that I will make mistakes."

"If he finds out about this, wouldn't it be right in his arms?"

The corner of the personal eunuch's mouth moved, and couldn't help saying:

"But Your Highness, His Highness Zhu Yunqi also put something under his knees...Although the servants are not sensible, they can tell."

Zhu Yunxi seemed to have known it a long time ago, shaking his head and saying:

"He can do it, but I can't."

"Grandpa has never cared much about me. This time when my father passed away, if I still use this little cleverness, it will only make grandpa hate me even more."

"If Grandpa Huang hates me, then I really have no way to survive in this deep palace..."

Chapter 204 The strange cause of death, Tie Xuan asked to see

Zhu Yunxi's words made his personal eunuch sigh.

"Your Highness is really wronged in this palace."

"But we're not completely hopeless..."

"I heard that the Lu family has been arranging people to search for someone near the capital recently. If the servant guesses correctly, it should be His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor who has been missing for a long time!"

"If this man can return to the palace, he can stand against His Royal Highness Zhu Yunqi, and you don't have to look at his face anymore, Your Highness!"

Zhu Yunxi knew that his personal eunuch was always well-informed, so he immediately became interested:

"Is this true?"

"My brother, whom I have never met, will really come back?"

Today's Zhu Yunxi is living in dire straits.

There is Zhu Yunqi in the palace who has been eyeing him all the time, planning to frame him;

Outside the palace, the Lu family has been inciting officials from all walks of life to speak out about their faults to the emperor.

Zhu Yunxi didn't know where he had offended Zhu Yunqi and the Lu family, and they would definitely put him to death.

But Zhu Yunxi knew that he still had his older brother Zhu Xiongying, who had the same father and mother, as long as he could come back, then Zhu Yunqi would never be arrogant again!

As for storage...

Zhu Yunxi never thought about it, and he didn't expect to be the emperor. He wanted to fight before because he would die if he didn't fight.

With Zhu Yunqi's temperament, once he ascends the throne, it is absolutely impossible for him to let himself go.

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, and then said:

"For the present plan, the only way is to work hard and obey the rules, so as not to be caught by Zhu Yunqi... Then I hope that my eldest brother will return soon!"

……

Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Xiongying, who was disguised as a Jin Yiwei, followed He Li, and the two of them walked unimpeded all the way to the main hall.

soon.

Zhu Xiongying saw the dead body of his father Zhu Biao.

Due to the cold weather, there is no need to worry about the corpse rotting in a short period of time, so Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the setting up of a mourning hall tomorrow, and the burial will be carried out seven days later.

Although Zhu Xiongying didn't have much affection for this "father", but after all, the dead are the most important, so he still performed the great gift that a son of man should do.

at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang just came out from behind the screen.

"Come and see your father."

"Who would have thought that when you left the palace nine years ago, it was the last time you saw each other."

Although still very sad, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood improved significantly after seeing Zhu Xiongying's return.

Zhu Xiongying nodded and stepped forward with a solemn expression.

Compared with nine years ago, Zhu Biao's appearance seems to be much older, and he doesn't know how many nights and hardships he has endured these years.

In such a huge empire, it really hurts people to work hard.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Xiongying with sad eyes:

"The imperial doctor looked at it and said that the prince was worrying and wasting too much, drinking too much... When he was drunk, the wine flowed back and blocked his throat, and he died of suffocation."

when speaking.

Lao Zhu's lips were trembling.

Zhu Xiongying looked carefully, and although Zhu Biao's face was pale, it didn't look like he had been poisoned.

Moreover, if it is poisoned, it is impossible for the imperial physician not to find out.

But how could such a good person suddenly suffocate to death?

So, he closed his eyes, and began to calculate in his heart with Qimen Dunjia.

Opening his eyes, Zhu Xiongying's eyes became sharper, and he asked Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Grandpa, on the night of Shangyuan Festival, did you have dinner with my father?"

Old Zhu nodded:

"And your grandmother, Yun Wen and Yun Xi... what happened? What did you find?"

Zhu Xiongying continued to ask:

"What did you eat and drink during the banquet? Who has touched the food and wine that father ate?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said:

"Drinking a lot of wine, the prince toasted us a few times during the banquet, and your two younger brothers also toasted to the prince."

"But the wine we drink is all poured out of the same jar."

"As for the food...you have to ask Shang Shi from the Shang Food Bureau, let's get someone to call her over."

Zhu Xiongying waved his hands and said:

"No need, my grandson calculated according to the way of Qimen that my father was poisoned by the poison hidden in the essence of the five grains... It should be a problem with alcohol and has nothing to do with food."

"It's just strange, if the same wine is drunk at the dinner, why is it only my father who has an accident..."

Just when Zhu Xiongying finished speaking.

He Li, who was guarding outside the door, heard a voice.

"Your Majesty, there was a notification from outside the hall that Li Ke asked Tie Xuan to see him..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said:

"Tie Hyun?"

"He gave Shizhong a courtesy, why did he come to see us so late at night?"

"not see."

Before Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Zhu Xiongying began to persuade:

"Grandpa, Tie Xuan, my grandson has also heard about it..."

"It is said that he has a decisive temperament and is extremely alert. With such a great talent, it is impossible to come here at such a time to be unhappy. He must have something important to report."

"Why don't you meet him? Listen to what he has to say."

Zhu Yuanzhang still listened to Zhu Xiongying's persuasion. Although he didn't know what Tie Xuan was going to say, since the eldest grandson had already spoken, there was no reason why he should not disappear.

Old Zhu said to Zhu Xiongying:

"Alright, Tie Xuan is a man who is familiar with classics and history, and also understands the art of war. He is quite talented. Let me show you today... If you can catch your eye, find a chance to recruit him."

Then, outside the door said:

"Let him wait for us at the Hall of Martial Arts."

He Li outside the door said again:

"Your Majesty, Tie Xuan requests to meet the Holy Spirit in Wenhua Palace."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head:

"It's a lot to ask for."

"If it wasn't for our grandson's face, we'd have someone drive him out with a stick."

"Forget it, let him come here."

……

Tie Xuan came outside Wenhua Hall and knelt down at the bottom of the steps.

The cold wind blew across his body, but he didn't tremble in the single clothes.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look at this young courtier with admiration.

"stand up."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair brought by Zhu Xiongying, tightened his robe, and asked:

"What do you want to see us?"

"Say it quickly."

Tie Xuan cupped his hands and replied:

"Report to Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to talk too much here, and please find a private room, Your Majesty, if I have something important to tell you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying at the side, as if asking what he meant.

Zhu Xiongying nodded slightly.

then.

Old Zhu then said:

"If that's the case, then you go into the house and say it."

"If it's not something important, we'll blame you."

Say it.

Get up and enter the hall with your hands behind your back.

Zhu Xiongying moved the chair and followed closely behind.

Tie Xuan stood up from the steps, shook his robe, and followed behind into the hall.

The temple door is closed.

When Tie Xuan saw the prince's body lying in the room, he immediately knelt down again.
