After all, for them, King Yan's order is irresistible.

……

Zhu Di and Lan Yu walked to a secluded place.

Sapphire spoke first:

"Your Highness must know why I am waiting for you here."

Zhu Di shook his head and said:

"Mr. Liang was joking. If you don't tell me, how will I know why you are waiting for me?"

Sapphire suddenly changed his face, and said unkindly:

"King Yan, we have never hit it off, and there is no third person here, so I'll just say it straight."

"You are domineering in the fiefdom Beiping, I don't care, but this is the capital... I hope His Highness can restrain himself after returning to the capital."

"Although the crown prince has gone, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has already returned to the capital. He must be the future prince of Ming Dynasty. If you have any other thoughts, I advise you to dismiss them as soon as possible."

King Yan looked at Lan Yu, narrowed his eyes and said:

"What if the king doesn't agree?"

"You sent the soldiers who ambushed in this forest to kill this king?"

Seeing that King Yan was still so calm, Lan Yu suddenly laughed loudly and said:

"how is this possible."

"Intercepting and killing the vassal king is tantamount to rebellion, and the minister cannot afford such a crime."

"I just saw that King Yan hadn't come back for a long time, so I wanted to talk to King Yan in advance."

Speaking of which.

Sapphire suddenly changed the topic.

"I just want to remind Your Highness..."

"In this Ming Dynasty, it's not just your feudal lord who holds heavy troops."

"If Your Highness has any extra thoughts, I won't be soft-hearted just because you are the prince!"

Zhu Di finally understood.

Lan Yu made it clear this time that he wanted to warn himself that if he competed for the reserve position, he would definitely not let him go.

Come to think of it.

This sapphire is Zhu Xiongying's uncle, so he naturally hopes that Zhu Xiongying will take over.

But how can Zhu Di be intimidated by others at will?

He smiled at Sapphire and said:

"What you said is quite straightforward."

"Mr. Liang, your courage is getting bigger..."

Sapphire's face remained unchanged and said:

"There is no one else here, only Your Highness."

"Even if His Highness tells His Majesty everything I said after returning to Beijing, do you think... His Majesty will believe your one-sided words?"

Zhu Di said:

"That's right. Everyone in the world thinks that this king wants to compete for the heir, so Duke Liang is naturally a thorn in my side."

"If I go to my father to file a complaint, I think my father will not listen to it, and I will think that I am deliberately trying to eliminate ministers who are loyal to the emperor's grandson."

Sapphire raised her head to look at the setting sun and snorted coldly:

"Your Highness, just be clear."

"It's getting late at this time, and I have to rush into the palace to report to His Majesty... King Yan can take care of himself."

Done.

He left the woods without looking back.

after awhile.

Zhu Di rode out of the woods and saw his guards were all standing outside the woods, waiting nervously.

The leader of the guards, Gao Yang, stepped forward quickly, looked him up and down, and then said in relief:

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"That Sapphire, the heart of disobedience is clearly revealed... After returning to the capital, His Highness can directly join him!"

"If His Majesty finds out about this, he will definitely be severely punished!"

Zhu Di glanced at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang felt hairy when he saw him, and couldn't help asking:

"Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that?"

"You look very excited," Zhu Di said, "Why don't you join him?"

Gao Yang was so frightened that he quickly shook his hand and said:

"Your Highness, are you kidding? I'm just a minister of the Beiping Palace, and not an official of the imperial court. How can I join a Duke?"

Zhu Di patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"It's good that you know, you are my subject, just listen to what this king says, don't think too much yourself."

Gao Yang hastily cupped his hands and said:

"Your Highness taught me that it was the minister who overstepped."

Zhu Di's expression remained unchanged, and no one could tell what he was thinking in his heart.

He nodded and said to the guard:

"All cheer up."

"Don't think that you can relax your vigilance as soon as you arrive at the capital."

"You are all my king's bodyguards, if something goes wrong with you... who will protect me?"

After hearing this, the guards quickly knelt down and cupped their fists and shouted:

"We will defend His Highness to the death!"

……

After Zhu Di returned to the capital.

Going back to the palace first, just as he was entering the palace, he bumped into Lan Yu who was leaving the palace.

However, it seemed that Sapphire's complexion was not very good.

This made Zhu Di interesting.

He didn't ask Lan Yu either, but went directly to the Wuying Hall to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

Once in the hall.

Zhu Di saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing the memorials, and Zhu Xiongying was standing beside him, casually reviewing various memorials.

This scene really surprised Zhu Di.

He knew that his father loved Zhu Xiongying, but he didn't expect that Zhu Xiongying could directly participate in government affairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang is cultivating him as a prince, and he has no intention of hiding it from anyone.

"My son Zhu Di, pay respects to my father!"

He put away his thoughts and bowed his hands to the man on the dragon chair.

Chapter 242 Deduce Zhu Di!There is also the luck of the emperor?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at him, nodded and said:

"came back."

"Excuse me."

Zhu Xiongying also smiled and saluted Zhu Di:

"Nephew Xiongying, I met Uncle Yan Wang."

Zhu Di nodded slightly and put his hands down.

"You came back fast enough. Before our letter of reply arrived in Beiping, you set off and came back, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang put together the memorial in his hand and said to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di replied:

"Father, my son was surprised to hear that my elder brother had an accident in Beiping, and my heart ached unbearably. In addition, I missed my father and queen mother so much, so I hurried on the road."

"The servants rushed back with only a dozen or so horse guards, and each took three horses for rotation, but they didn't dare to rest for a moment."

"Besides, didn't the second elder brother come back from the fief too? I heard that he came back earlier than my son."

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily:

"Compare to what? Are you still comparing with the second child?"

"Do you want to compare yourself with the second child? Do you want to do all the ridiculous things that the second child does?"

Seeing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Di bowed his head and said:

"Father, my son really just missed my father, queen, mother and brothers, so I hurried back."

"If the emperor wants to punish the son-in-law, the son-in-law will not say much."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his hand and said:

"Okay, since you've come back, we won't say much about you."

"You brothers should all be back tomorrow, and we will summon you together then."

"You just came back today, and you are probably tired, so go back early and rest."

Zhu Di cupped his hands and said:

"Yes, but I have one more request."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What?"

"I have been away from the capital for a long time, and I still want to pay my respects to my mother."

"I implore my father to agree."

I heard Zhu Di say that.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened slightly when he looked at him.

Nodding and saying:

"You still know that you are filial to visit your mother as soon as you come back."

"Go, your mother probably misses you too."

Zhu Di cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you, Father!"

After speaking, he looked up at Zhu Xiongying, leaving a meaningful look.

Watching Zhu Di go out.

Zhu Xiongying no longer hesitated.

He had been waiting all day for this moment!

Looking at Zhu Di's back, he thought to himself:

"System, deduce this person."
