Chapter 310: The Streets of Nanjing Are Deserted, Zhu Di Joins the Game!

It's approaching evening.

Royal study room.

Jiang Wei stood in front of the imperial case with lowered eyebrows and eyes. He spied on Zhu Yuanzhang's expression with his peripheral vision and reported: "Your Majesty, this minister neglected his duty. Zhou Lang sent a message and returned to Jiangning from Tuqiao Village, only to be discovered by Jiangning's Jin Yiwei..."

Zhu Silang's personal soldiers actually inquired about the news in Jinling City and sent them to Tuqiao Village.

This is a bit taboo!

Why, Zhu Silang wants to turn his personal soldiers into another Jin Yiwei yamen?

…

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly as he listened.

‘The eye drops are right this time! ’

After Jiang 𤩽 spied on it, he was immediately delighted.

Snapped!

As soon as the secret joy came to his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table, raised his head, and stared at Jiang 𤩽 with icy eyes.

Jiang 𤩽's face froze and gradually turned pale, and a bad feeling came to his mind.

The next second, there was a sound that made him fall into an ice cave.

"Do you want to do it or not? Can you do it? We know that Mao Xiang is alive and you are on pins and needles. You want to get rid of Mao Xiang all the time..."

…

‘Your Majesty knows everything! ’

Strong fear swept through his body, and Jiang 𤩽 could not control his trembling.

"We told you a long time ago that we would cancel the surveillance of Zhu Silang. Did you turn a deaf ear to our words?"

"Have you found out who is fueling the flames in Jinling City?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his voice.

Jiang 𤩽 could no longer withstand the strong pressure from Zhu Yuanzhang.

‘Plop’ fell to his knees.

Bang bang bang...

His forehead hit the hard tiles hard, "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please punish me..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him coldly...

It wasn't until blood oozed from Jiang's knocked forehead that he said coldly: "Go get the fifty sticks yourself. Remember, we don't like the commander of the Jinyi Guards who is too smart and has the wrong intentions!"

"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Jiang Wei cried with a trembling voice. After kowtowing heavily, he crawled away to receive the stick.

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Jiang Xiang's extremely frightened figure and snorted slightly.

Do you really think he doesn't know that little trick?

It has never been dealt with.

Just let it jump first, and when the time is right, teach it a lesson.

The principles of controlling ministers and herding cattle are the same.

If a cow eats crops, beat it gently or hard, and it won't eat it at that time. If you keep it for a while, it will eat it again.

On the contrary, it is better to pretend not to know at first. When the cow finds out that no one cares about it, it will take advantage of it even more.

When the cow gets an advantage, look for the opportunity and give it a good beating.

This beast has a profound memory.

So do people.

If heavy punishment doesn't work.

Then kill him!

…

The screams lasted three incense sticks before they stopped.

Jiang 𤩽 was supported by two royal guards as he passed outside the royal study, his buttocks were bloody and bloody.

His face was pale and without a trace of blood, and his lips were bitten in pain.

"stop……"

A weak and hoarse voice sounded.

The two Jinyi guards stopped in a hurry.

Jiang 𤩽 was trembling all over, his eyes were in awe, and he looked at the brightly lit imperial study room in horror.

What did the emperor say in his last words?

It seems like this: ‘Go and get fifty sticks yourself. Remember, we don’t like the commander of the Imperial Guard who is too smart and has the wrong intentions! ’

This sentence has multiple meanings.

Warn him not to stare at Zhu Silang anymore.

Stop trying to get rid of Mao Aliu.

At the same time, he also told him that he would be promoted to the commander of the Imperial Guard.

Not surprisingly.

The formal promotion decree will be issued tomorrow.

I thought that he had not been promoted because he needed to make some merit.

He's so ridiculous!

The emperor does not need credit, he is just waiting for today.

After giving him an unforgettable lesson with a fifty-fifty rod, he was officially promoted to Jinyiwei.

Although the rod's responsibility is fifty, it is heavy.

But for him, it was the lightest punishment.

If you make another mistake, there will be only death!

This is Emperor Zhu’s art of controlling people!

…

After a while, Jiang 𤩽 turned his head with difficulty, the corners of his lips trembled violently, and said hoarsely: "Let's go."

…

Tuqiao Village.

The two little guys have fallen asleep.

The two adults became children, sitting on the edge of the bed, playing with their four feet in the basin.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and teased, "What should I do? Everyone in the world thinks that Xu Daya is not worthy of Zhu Silang."

If Zhou Lang hadn't asked for leave from the military camp out of anger and sent the news to Tuqiao Village, she wouldn't have known that she was no longer worthy of Shiro after confusing King Yan's "Praise Si Daji".

Zhu Di tilted his head with a smile, "What should I do? It's easy to handle. Just give me whatever you ask for tonight."

puff!

Xu Miaoyun's pretty face turned red instantly, her forehead rested on Zhu Di's shoulder, and she opened her mouth as if to bite someone.

After a while, he blushed and raised his head, "Mr. Zhu, are you ready?"

After publishing the list this time.

Everything is going to change.

I don’t know, when will I be able to have this peaceful and leisurely life of the past two years again?

"Already ready!" Zhu Di threw the person down with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun moved her feet in the water basin and said with a sweet smile: "I'm asking, when you are ready to publish the list..."

The sweet laughter disappeared quickly...

…

The next day.

Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun, Xia Shimin, and Liao Miaoxian set off from Tuqiao Village.

at the same time.

East Palace.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wang came to pay their respects to Crown Princess Chang. As soon as they entered the palace, they saw the palace maids and eunuchs busy coming and going. ɱ

Looking at each other suspiciously.

Wang Meiren asked curiously: "Sister Concubine, Sister Crown Princess, this is..."

Lu smiled, "It should be that Xiongying is coming back today, and the princess is preparing something that Xiongying likes."

The two of them walked and chatted when they came to the palace gate and heard Chang's voice...

"By the way, send someone to the imperial dining room in the palace to ask what dishes Lao Si and Miao Yun like to eat. The imperial dining room will definitely know."

‘We want to invite Zhu Silang to a banquet! ’

Lu and Wang Mei were both shocked.

Lu secretly pinched her fingers.

When the two of them went in, they saw Mrs. Chang, who was already very pregnant, sitting on the couch and giving orders to the eunuchs in the East Palace in an orderly manner.

"Okay, you all go and do your work." Mrs. Chang also noticed the two of them. After sending away the palace maids and eunuchs, she pointed to the stool with a smile.

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wang paid their respects to Mrs. Chang before taking their seats.

Lu asked curiously: "Sister, are you going to entertain your fourth brother tonight?"

Mrs. Chang nodded with a smile, "Well, I discussed it with the Crown Prince last night. You guys will come too today..."

‘Eat, this may be the last meal for Zhu Silang and Donggong! ' Mrs. Lu sneered in her heart, and then said gently: "Sister, I am pregnant. If you need anything, you can leave it to me..."

Mrs. Chang nodded with a smile, "It is indeed inconvenient for me to move around. I have to help my sister to instruct the maids to do things."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Wang Meiren and said, "Last time, some Korean delicacies made by my sister had a unique flavor. Could you please trouble my sister this time..."

Wang Meiren's eyes suddenly lit up, and before Chang could finish her words, she said first, "No trouble, no trouble."

She came to the East Palace not long ago.

And he's just a waiter.

I was still lost and couldn't help much.

Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess would give him such an opportunity.

To win over Zhu Silang for the prince.

She is willing to contribute.

As long as Zhu Silang can be as sensible as Chun Wei Kao in the future, he will take the initiative to hide his clumsiness and not cause trouble to the prince!

Madam Lu looked at Madam Chang from the corner of her eye, "The Crown Princess assigns tasks to Madame Wang, which is clearly to win over Madame Wang." ’

…

noon.

Zhu Yuanzhang went to Kunning Palace to have dinner.

During meal.

He smiled and said, "By the way, there is no need to prepare food for the fourth child and his wife tonight."

Ma Xiuying looked up suspiciously.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and recounted: "When I came to Kunning Palace, I received news that there was a riot in the East Palace. We two will not join in the fun tonight, let the two brothers have a good chat."

Ma Xiuying suddenly realized that it must be Biao'er. She had something to say to the fourth child.

fair enough.

…

The news that the East Palace was going to entertain Zhu Di and his wife quickly spread throughout the court.

All the officials were talking about it.

"The East Palace invites Zhu Silang and his wife to a banquet to thank the master?"

"I'm afraid the teacher-appreciation banquet is just a facade!"

"Will the prince beat Zhu Silang?"

…

after lunch.

Hu Weiyong came to the Yushitai.

Chief Li Shan's official room.

After Hu Weiyong personally filled Li Shanchang's tea cup, he couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, why did the prince invite Zhu Silang and his wife to a banquet? Is it just to thank Zhu Silang for teaching his grandson?"

"Could it be related to the recent heated discussion about Zhu Silang in Jinling City?"

Colleagues are all speculating whether the prince will beat Zhu Silang.

He doesn't think so.

On the contrary, he felt that the prince would even say words of comfort and encouragement.

"Didn't you already guess it?" Li Shanchang smiled, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Don't place your hopes on him, the prince will turn against Zhu Silang now..."

This is not realistic.

If the prince only has this ability.

Emperor Zhu would not support him as the crown prince.

Hu Weiyong smiled, holding the tea cup in one hand, turning the lid with the other, and said with a smile: "Teacher, maybe this is the last harmonious meal between Zhu Silang and Donggong."

…

same day.

With all the officials paying attention, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun's family of four took Zhu Xiongying back to Jinling and entered the East Palace.

Until very late.

The family of four just left the East Palace.

Mao Laoliu drove the carriage slowly towards Xu Mansion.

inside the carriage.

Xu Miaoyun looked away, put down the curtain, turned around and asked, "After dinner, eldest brother asked you to go out for a walk alone. What did he say?"

"I didn't say anything, I just told me not to hide my shame..."

When Zhu Di told the story with a smile, his thoughts were uncontrollably drawn back to that time.

They walked side by side as brothers.

It was dark at the time and the lantern light was dim. He tried hard to see the expression on his elder brother's face, but he couldn't see clearly...

"Then how do you answer?"

His thoughts were brought back to reality. Zhu Di saw the slight worry in Xu Miaoyun's eyes. He raised his hand and pinched Qiong's nose with a smile. "I told my eldest brother directly that I did not hide my clumsiness in this imperial examination, and I will not hide my clumsiness in the future. I will never tolerate it again. If the prince is guilty, Feng Sheng's incident will never happen again. He joked: The eldest brother must get used to such a fourth brother. "

"At the same time, I reiterate that I am not interested in his hard-working position!"

Xu Miaoyun hid the worry deep in her eyes and smiled...

fair enough.

As for whether the eldest brother believes it or not, that is his business.

…

Outside.

Mao Laoliu listened to the conversation between the young couple in the carriage.

Smile.

He raised his head and looked at the moon hanging in the sky, 'I hope the prince can accommodate the young master, otherwise...'

In short, anyone who wants to harm the young master, young madam, young master, or young lady is Mao Xiang’s enemy!

…

The list will be published tomorrow.

That night, the entire Jinling City was sleepless.

Taiyuan.

Jin Palace.

It was late at night, and it was past midnight.

Zhu Yu stood at the window of the bedroom, silently looking up at the moon hanging in the sky.

Princess Xie came over with a coat and gently put it on Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu was startled, came back to his senses, turned his head, and smiled, "You go to sleep, I'll watch it for a while, today's moon is particularly bright, and there is a halo outside..."

After tonight.

Even if the fourth brother wants to keep a low profile and hide his shortcomings, it will be useless.

The fourth brother has become the most important chess piece on the chessboard of the Ming Dynasty.

Many people.

Will push the fourth brother forward.

Until the eldest brother is suspicious and afraid of the fourth brother.

At that time, the court of the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos, and the various forces will go their separate ways, aim at their own goals, and start to exert their strength.

And he, as the third brother, knows all this, but he has to hide in the deepest.

Sit back and watch the fourth son being used as a chess piece, pushed forward, and finally crushed to pieces?

For that position.

Is it really necessary?

He was very conflicted.

Xie didn't say anything, just accompanied him quietly. Although her husband didn't tell her, she had vaguely guessed it.

...

The next day.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Hu Mansion.

Hu Dahu yawned and stood in front of Hu Weiyong, "Father, why did you wake up the child so early?"

Hum!

Hu Weiyong snorted angrily, "Go to Yingtian Prefecture to take a position. Do you know that 30% of our family's living money is bet that Zhu Silang will not pass the top ten or three!"

Mentioning money.

Hu Dahu immediately became energetic.

...

"Geng Xuan, get up quickly, go to Yingtian Prefecture to take a position, and keep an eye on the list."

"Mother, you will definitely regret it. My brother-in-law will definitely pass the top ten!"

"Are you looking for a fight?"

...

At five o'clock in the morning of that day, a strange scene appeared.

All officials went out to court at the same time.

The young masters of each mansion yawned and followed him out.

…

Kunning Palace.

Ma Xiuying helped Zhu Yuanzhang put on his clothes.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and asked curiously, "Where is Mingxia? Why didn't I see her this morning?"

Ma Xiuying sorted out Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes and said with a smile, "Mingxia asked for leave from me last night. Today, she has to take a few people to Yingtian Mansion to reserve a place early..."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but grin, "Just for this, we will definitely find her a good husband and a good in-laws in the future!"

Ma Xiuying smiled.

…

It was already nine o'clock when I came back from dinner. In three hours, I only wrote 3,700 words. This chapter can only be like this. I will definitely write 10,000 words tomorrow.
