Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 44 Yan Wang, you wait for me!

"Miao Jin kowtows to the princess concubine!"

The embarrassment on Xu Miaojin's face flashed, and she hurriedly bowed.

"Mother!"

Zhu Yunqi went up to meet him, lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Shi's livid face.

Mrs. Lu squeezed out a smile, looked at Xu Miaojin, and said, "Miss Miaojin is so free, she is here to find Wen'er to sing the wind and enjoy the moon!"

"Miao Jin..."

Just as Xu Miaojin was about to explain, Zhu Yunwen snatched the words away: "It was Wen'er who sent someone to invite Miss Miaojin into the palace!"

Lu cast a sideways glance at Zhu Yunwen: "Mother didn't ask you!"

The embarrassment in the air made Xu Miaojin just want to escape quickly.

"Since the empress has something to do with His Highness, Miao Jin will leave first!"

Xu Miaojin bowed again as she spoke, and hurriedly exited the study after receiving Lu's nod.

"Miao Jin..."

Zhu Yunqi wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Mrs. Lu:

"Steam!"

With a cold shout, Zhu Yunqi had no choice but to back away resentfully.

Seeing Xu Miaojin walk away, Lu turned around, looked at Zhu Yunqi, and said, "Xuaner, have you finished your homework today?"

"finished."

Zhu Yunwen pouted and replied.

Lu continued: "Then have you gone to pay your respects to your grandpa today?"

"I……"

Zhu Yunqi opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.

A few days ago, he passed by every day, and occasionally saw Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang was lukewarm, telling him to put down his things and leave, and no longer asked about his studies or taught him earnestly as before.

Today when Xu Miaojin came over, Zhu Yunqi couldn't care less about these things.

Lu Shi still said coldly: "Don't do business, take a look, what are these things?!"

With that said, Mrs. Lu picked up the poem that Xu Miaojin had just written on the desk.

Zhu Yunqi wanted to take it back subconsciously, because it was written by Xu Miaojin, and he felt that it was given to him by Xu Miaojin, so no one could destroy it no matter what.

"Mother, don't..."

Zhu Yunwen stopped in mid-air, showing a pleading look.

"Ah--"

The more Lu looked, the angrier she became, and she sneered angrily: "Wen'er, are you really stupid or fake? Can't you tell what kind of poem this is?"

Zhu Yunqi was taken aback, and said, "Is there any problem? I think it's pretty good, but it's a bit obscure!"

"you……"

Lu raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at Zhu Yunqi, her face turned ferocious, and she said angrily, "You, you want to piss me off! I think you are dazzled by Xu Miaojin's beauty!"

Looking at the furious Lu Shi, Zhu Yunqi scratched his head inexplicably, frowned and said in doubt: "I don't think there's anything wrong with Wen'er!"

As he said that, Zhu Yunqi tried to figure out what exactly caused Lu's anger, so he read again softly:

"Dark plum smells the flowers quietly, lying on the branches hurts the bottom, smells lying like water in the distance, easy to reach spring green..."

Snapped!
Before Zhu Yunwen's poem was finished, Lu directly slapped Zhu Yunwen's face.

As if struck by lightning, Zhu Yunwen covered his face, stupefied, and stared blankly at Lu Shi: "Mother... what are you doing? What did Wen'er do wrong? Didn't you just meet Miaojin? As for that?"

Seeing the wronged Zhu Yunwen, Lu became even more angry, and gritted his teeth and said, "You really... don't you see it? This is a curse poem. People call you a stupid ass. Are you still here?" You are foolishly being played like a donkey here!"

"Impossible, impossible..."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head and muttered to himself.

Lu snorted coldly, and threw the poem in front of Zhu Yunqi: "Look carefully for yourself, what is the homonym of this poem?"

Reminded by Mrs. Lu, Zhu Yunqi picked up the poem and read it carefully.

The more I read, the wider my eyes widened, and I muttered: "How is it possible... How is it possible? Impossible! Miaojin can't be like this, it must be..."

"To shut up!"

Lu Shi slapped him up again, and shouted: "Xuan'er, wake up!"

Zhu Yunwen covered his face, staring at Mrs. Lu in a daze, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

Lu Shi looked distressed and angry, and said hysterically: "Do you know what the consequences will be if this matter gets out today?!"

"Do you know what the consequences will be if your recitation of this poem reaches your grandfather's ears?!"

"You have really become a donkey! You will become the laughing stock of the palace! You will completely destroy your image in your grandpa's mind, and you will lose your qualifications as the crown prince!"

"This poem can kill people!"

Lu Shi gritted his teeth and said...

Zhu Yunwen felt as if struck by lightning when he heard the words, he just let the tears flow down.

Wronged, confused, frightened, helpless, self-blame...

All kinds of emotions came to my mind.

He couldn't figure out why Xu Miaojin would use this poem to play tricks on him, and he couldn't figure out who was trying to use Xu Miaojin's hands to harm him...

Seeing Zhu Yunwen sobbing constantly, Lu's heart finally softened, and his tone softened a lot:
"Xun'er, if you were born in an ordinary family, you could do whatever you want, but you are not, you are the grandson of the emperor, and you will inherit the great rule in the future!"

"How many pairs of eyes are staring at you, you must always pay attention, don't let people catch you!"

"Mother knows that you are kind-hearted, and there are many things you don't want to do, but look at how vicious this matter is today? So, you must do it in the future! And you have to be ruthless to do it, understand?!"

"Otherwise, our mother and I will die without a place to bury!"

After hearing Lu's words, Zhu Yunwen, who had already cried into tears, sobbed: "Mother... Wen'er knows I'm wrong..."

Mrs. Lu pulled Zhu Yunqi into her arms, feeling pain like a needle prick in her heart, but at the same time, she was also thinking about the rather weird thing just now.

It stands to reason that Xu Miaojin is indifferent and would not do such a sinister thing...

Yes, it must be the one from Peking!

King Yan is Xu Miaojin's brother-in-law, and he has always liked Xu Miaojin. What happened just now must be because he used Xu Miaojin's hand to humiliate Wen'er and ruin Wen'er's reputation...

You can't go wrong!

So cruel!So poisonous!
The more Lu thought about it, the more determined she became, and she became extremely angry: King Yan, you wait for me...

……

"Ah!"

In front of Qingshou Temple, a tall middle-aged man in brocade clothes, with a beautiful mustache and deep eyes, couldn't help but sneezed.

"It rained heavily in Beiping last night, did you catch a cold?"

The middle-aged man whispered, smiled and shook his head.

The man is naturally Zhu Di, the King of Yan whom the Lu family misses.

Zhu Di is 33 years old this year.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Di, who was only 11 years old, was named the King of Yan. Ten years later, the 21-year-old King Yan came to Beiping.

At that time, not long after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Meng Yuan still had considerable strength outside the Great Wall, and had always coveted the Central Plains. Beiping, as the former capital of Mongolia and Yuan, and the fundamental place for border defense, had a very important position.

From the day Zhu Di entered Beiping, he took on the responsibility of guarding northern Xinjiang.

And this young prince really lived up to his trust, and he regarded this King Sai as a success.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Fu Youde as a general, and led Liehou Zhaoyong, Cao Xing, Wang Bi, Sun Ke and others to Beiping to train the army and horses.

When the good news reached the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "The one who clears the desert is the King of Yan!"

Afterwards, Zhu Di became famous...

but,

After returning from the funeral at Yingtian Mansion, Zhu Di has been preoccupied. A piece of news came back from the capital yesterday, which kept him almost up all night. So the next morning, he came to find someone to help him.

That person is naturally the abbot of Qingshou Temple, Monk Daoyan.

Just as he was thinking, Zhu Di saw a monk in a soap-colored monk's uniform and a black cassock walking down from the steps in front of the temple gate to greet him.

Now it is close to the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and even Beiping is already scorching hot.

Zhu Di hastily stepped forward and said: "The heat is severe, and Master Daoyan is waiting for me inside the door. He came to welcome me in the scorching sun, which makes me very sorry."

It can be seen that Zhu Di respects the monk Daoyan in front of him very much.

Daoyan's original surname is Yao, his first name is Guangxiao, and he was born in Changzhou, Suzhou Prefecture. When he was young, he became a monk in Miaozhi Nunnery in Suzhou. He was proficient in the three religions. Now he is 58 years old. relation.

Although he is a Buddhist, he is proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and has dabbled in physiognomy and military tactics.

In the 15th year of Hongwu, Empress Xiaoci Ma passed away. Zhu Yuanzhang selected eminent monks to serve the kings and chant scriptures to pray for blessings.

When Dao Yan first met King Yan, looking at his face, he saw that the center of his forehead bone was towering and shaped like the sun, and he was amazed. When the two met, they talked very happily. He concluded that King Yan was an immortal hero. There will be some great achievements in the future.

Originally, the eminent monk served the king only for chanting scriptures, but Dao Yan was a man with great ambitions. The reason why he applied for the recruitment was to take this opportunity to find a heroic master who would assist him in his great achievements and his reputation.

Unexpectedly, he found it!
Dao Yan clasped his hands together and said: "Your Majesty, the words are serious. The poor monk has been meditating in the meditation room all year round. It is also a good thing to go out for a walk. My lord, it is hot here, please move to the meditation room to talk."

Zhu Di nodded, knowing what Dao Yan meant, so he stopped talking and followed Dao Yan to the meditation room in the backyard.

Daoyan's meditation room is not big, but it is very clean and tidy.

The two entered the room and sat down, a young novice came in and carefully served two cups of tea, and then exited softly, while Zhu Neng, Zhu Di's confidant and deputy guard of Qianhu, took the door behind him and stood guard outside the house.

Zhu Di was sipping tea, still thinking about all these doubts in his heart, and didn't speak for a while, while Dao Yan was holding the Buddhist beads with one hand, and waited quietly.

After a while, Zhu Di just sighed softly and said, "Brother left so suddenly, even I was caught off guard!"

Dao Yan nodded, but did not speak.

Zhu Di glanced at Daoyan who was holding the Buddhist bead, and asked, "What do you think, master?"

Dao Yan said slowly: "The emperor is old, and the country cannot be without reserves for a day, but there is no movement for a long time, I am afraid that the emperor is still hesitating."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and suddenly asked, "Is it possible that it's me?"

Dao Yan shook his head, and replied: "If the king of Yan is established, then where is the second king of Qin and Jin?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di frowned slightly: "I'm the fourth child after all!" After sighing lightly, Zhu Di asked again: "Then who does the master think it could be?"

"The emperor's grandson!"

Dao Yan replied straightforwardly: "The emperor can only put an end to the coveting of the throne by the emperor by appointing the emperor's grandson as the heir."

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted softly, frowned and said, "Are you talking about Zhu Yunqi? When I led the troops to fight for meritorious service, he was still suckling! How can I be reconciled to this!"

"The king of Yan has great ambitions, and the poor monk is very pleased."

Dao Yan said leisurely: "The poor monk heard that the emperor once said that King Yan, the fourth son, is the most like him. This is a very high praise!"

"Ah--"

Zhu Di chuckled: "This is also an extremely dangerous compliment! If the emperor's grandson ascends the throne, I am afraid that I will be the first one to deal with it!"

Dao Yan nodded, and said: "What King Yan said is very true, so you have to fight for status or be slaughtered by others. If you want to avoid disaster, there is only one way."

"Appreciate further details!"

Zhu Di was immediately refreshed when he heard the words, and hurriedly sat up straight and listened attentively.

Dao Yan replied: "Bring it on yourself!"

"Bring it on yourself?"

"Yes, where does the disaster come from? The disaster is the world!"

After hearing Dao Yan's words, Zhu Di looked at the person in front of him with deep meaning in his eyes, and said, "Master, you are letting me go on a road of no return!"

"My lord is already on this road. Looking back, there is only a deep abyss. Only by moving forward can we see the light!"

"Hey--"

Zhu Di let out a long sigh.

At this time, he was very hesitant and hesitant, he knew that what Dao Yan said was right, once the crown prince died, he had no other way out.

A moment of silence.

Zhu Di suddenly said: "Yesterday, there was news from the capital that the old man has often been out of the palace recently to meet a young man."

"Oh?"

Dao Yan showed a puzzled look.

Zhu Di handed over a portrait: "This is the boy."

Dao Yan took the portrait and looked at it carefully, only to hear Zhu Di say: "Master, who do you think this young man looks like?"

Hearing what Zhu Di said, Dao Yan's face suddenly showed a surprised expression, and he said in disbelief: "The old prince?"

Zhu Di nodded, and said softly: "Not only the prince, but also my eldest nephew...Zhu Xiongying!"

boom!
These words were like a thunderbolt falling on Dao Yan's head, making him show a rare look of horror.

"Why... King Huai, didn't he pass away ten years ago? Why now..."

"Yes!"

Zhu Di slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "After I saw this portrait last night, I stayed up all night. Why does he appear now? Is he really still alive?"

Dao Yan was stunned for a long while before he said leisurely: "It's really unbelievable, but since the emperor often goes out of the palace to look for him, I'm afraid it's almost the same, but..."

"But what?"

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and looked at Dao Yan.

I only heard Dao Yan say: "However, whether Zhu Yunqi or Zhu Xiongying, they are not the prince's opponents!"

Zhu Di fell silent when he heard the words, stood up slowly, looked to the south, and said after a while, "Master, do I really want to follow the path of Li Shimin?"

"No, not Li Shimin!"

Dao Yan said leisurely: "The old emperor is still here, the prince can only lie dormant, can't show the slightest, and quietly wait for the opportunity."

Zhu Di continued to look at the south, he knew what Dao Yan meant, he wanted him to wait until the old man passed away.

But is he really going against it?

Zhu Di was still hesitating, but he was not reconciled.

He, Zhu Di, has great ambitions. When his eldest brother Zhu Biao was still alive, he might be willing to be a prince outside the Great Wall who fought on the battlefield, but now, his heart has begun to move...

"Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Xiongying...you have already died once, so you shouldn't reappear..."

Zhu Di muttered to himself...

……

A small courtyard by the Qinhuai River.

Li Jinglong has come here with a small box of silver...
