Wandering the Heavens

"No. 9527, why did you send me directly here?" Yu Xian was very unhappy looking at the chaotic streets.

I thought that by defeating Zhu Wusi and Wan Sanqian and suppressing the Ning Wang rebellion, it seemed that I had successfully ensured that Zhengde would live safely until he was 36 years old before leaving the world of being the best in the world, although it was a bit sudden.

Just when he was thinking about how to settle accounts with Chen Caiwei, he opened his eyes and saw a messy street with a bunch of soldiers besieging dozens of assassins in cloth. At the edge of the battlefield, two elegant men were riding on tall horses, watching the fighting and chatting leisurely. They were the Prince of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, and the Prince of Zhao, Zhu Gaosui.

"Please be considerate. This mission is quite urgent." No. 9527 said with some guilt in his mind.

"Don't try to play tricks on me. What kind of person is this naughty kid Chen Caiwei? Even you have become her lackey?"

"She doesn't have any identity, she just has an ID card. Besides, you don't want to do anything to her. To avoid embarrassment, I can only drag you into this mission!"

"What about the mission?"

"Let Zhu Jianshen grow up well."

"Brother, you must be kidding! It's only the tenth year of Yongle, and Zhu Jianshen was born in the twelfth year of Zhengtong. Did you get the time wrong? My mission should be to kill Sun Ruowei."

"Just try it! How will Zhu Jianshen be born if she dies?"

Then 9527 fell silent.

Yu Xian was itching to bite, so he hooked up a sword beside his feet with his left foot and rushed towards the assassins, killing each one with his sword. This sudden change shocked the two princes and the father and daughter of the Sun family who were watching the excitement in the crowd.

"Second brother, is this the person you arranged?" Zhu Gaosui was a little surprised when he saw the young man killing people everywhere.

"I haven't seen him. Maybe he's my father's man!" Zhu Gaoxu shook his head.

The assassins who were already struggling to death were all killed by Yu Xian, leaving no one alive. The father and daughter of the Sun family cried in their hearts and hated the young man even more.

"Who are you?" Zhu Gaoxu asked the young man who threw away his sword.

"My name is Yu Xian, a commoner." Yu Xian replied with a bow.

"You bold and unruly commoner, when the prince asks you a question, you should kneel down and lower your head to answer!" An aide behind Zhu Gaoxu pointed at Yu Xian with a horsewhip and scolded him.

"Don't be rude! Warrior Yu, you have killed these assassins today and have made a great contribution. You can go with my brother to see the emperor and ask for a reward." Zhu Gaoxu tried.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Prince Han. However, I am just a commoner who sees injustice and dare not think too much about it. Bye!" After saying this, Yu Xian turned and left.

"Second brother, this person doesn't know how to appreciate a favor!" Zhu Gaosui had a very bad impression of this person.

"No matter what, let's go see the old man first. I don't know how angry he will be right now." Although Zhu Gaoxu said this, he didn't look worried at all.

On the other side, the Sun father and daughter came to the small shop to cover their identities in a daze. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a man sitting in the shop. He made a pot of tea for them without any hesitation.

"It's you!" Sun Ruowei suddenly found the courage and took out a dagger and stabbed him.

Yu Xian didn't even bother to look and simply grabbed the dagger with his bare hands, breaking the dagger made of fine iron into pieces.

"Impossible, this... this is not the power of a mortal!" Sun Ruowei stood still.

"Whatever you think, I came here today to see you make a fool of yourself. Sun Yu, do you know the phrase 'seeking the skin of a tiger'? What are you dreaming of by collaborating with an unknown person to assassinate the emperor?"

"Father, is this a ghost?" Sun Ruowei was staring at the empty room in a daze again.

"I...I don't know." Sun Yu was also panicked.

The father and daughter were still trying to make amends when they heard someone knocking on the door. Sun Ruowei could only put away the wooden handle in her hand and went to open the door, only to see a young man in a Tiqi robe and several Jinyiwei blocking the door.

Although Yu Xian killed many people, he was still angry. This world was just to support Sun Ruowei. What the hell does it have to do with Zhu Jianshen? I want me to train him into a talent and not have any further contact with Aunt Wan.

I've done many things to break up couples, but this time it's quite awkward.

While he was still feeling annoyed, several people in white clothes stopped Yu Xian who was wandering around.

"My master invites you!"

"Let's go!" Yu Xian tactfully took the black cloth and covered his eyes, allowing them to lead him into a carriage.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Xian was taken to a place.

"Okay, take off the black cloth!"

Yu Xian's hands were released, and he took off the black cloth himself. The room in front of him was well decorated, with rows of bookshelves filled with books. An old man was leaning on the table with one hand and looking at him.

"I, a commoner, pay my respects to His Majesty."

"You know me? You should know that even ordinary court officials may not know that I am Zhu Di, the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Let's not worry about this. What is your purpose?" Zhu Di was very surprised.

"Find something to do." Yu Xian said this easily.

"But can I trust you?" Zhu Di looked up and down at this ignorant young man.

"Your Majesty, the only person you can trust in this world is yourself. Other people don't matter." Yu Xian really deserves a beating.

"You really don't regard me as the emperor!" Zhu Di shook his head.

"It's not the common people who think you are not the emperor, but the rebels on the streets today, or the remnants of Jianwen," Yu Xian said nonchalantly.

"Then, how about I hand this case over to you?" Zhu Di asked, looking into Yu Xian's eyes.

"Your Majesty, please tell me a number or give me a list of names. I will kill all of them without missing a single one and leave no evidence behind." Yu Xian is very experienced in setting up large-scale prisons.

"I am old now, and I want to accumulate some virtue for my children, so I will not kill them if I can. Tomorrow morning you will go to the palace again and meet my sons. I will give you the Jinyiwei, and you must act in a way that lives up to what you just said."

Zhu Di took out a token from the table, grabbed Yu Xian's hand and placed the token on his palm.

"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's command!" Yu Xian stepped back and bowed.

A night passed, and Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhanji were looking at Yu Xian, who was wearing the Feiyu costume, in the main hall.

"I was wondering why you refused so straightforwardly. It turns out you have connections with the old man!" Zhu Gaoxu felt very uncomfortable at this moment. He was such a good thug, but he was just hanging around with the old man.

"Your Majesty, in this Ming Dynasty, the emperor is the only one who has the final say." Yu Xian said with a pretentious bow.

Except for Zhu Gaochi, the brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui and the eldest nephew were all very disdainful. The emperor was already over fifty years old and would have to hand over the country sooner or later. The civil and military officials were all looking for a way out. This person just didn't know how to adapt to the times.

But with this politically correct statement placed here, they really don't dare to say anything.

At this time, Zhu Di came up to the group from behind, holding a book and with an expressionless face.

"See the Emperor."

"Yu Qing is right. In this Ming Dynasty, I am the only one who makes the decisions. If you don't accept it, just keep it to yourself! If you want to make the decisions, wait until I die!" Zhu Di looked at his sons and grandsons' faces and gave them cold instructions.

He didn't give any face at all in front of outsiders, which scared everyone so much that their faces turned red and white.

"Yu Qing, I'll leave the matter of dealing with the remnants of Jianwen to you. You don't have to give me face." Zhu Di turned around twice and said to Yu Xian who was pretending to be dead on the side.

"Father/Grandpa, no!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di stopped and kept looking at these people.

"You are my sons and grandsons, Zhu Di. What did Yu Qing say before? I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the only one who can make the decisions in this world. Look at you, I just asked him to investigate a case but you all objected. What do you mean? Do you think I am no longer the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, or do you think that I, the emperor, am dead? Or are you eager to start a new dynasty?" Zhu Gaochi could not bear it anymore as he was scolding his son and grandson rudely. He knelt on the ground first.

"Yu Qing, go do your job! I don't want you to watch this ugly incident any longer, or you'll end up making a fool of yourself."

"I'm leaving!" Yu Xian bowed and left the hall.
