Chapter 274

Zhu Yunqi not only sent out Tie Xuan that Zhu Yuanzhang had left for him, but even Bao Zhao was rushed to Beiping as soon as he came to power, and became an interview envoy without real power!

This is obviously to eradicate Zhu Yuanzhang's influence on himself!

Even Zhu Yuanzhang's loyal ministers who stayed behind to assist him can treat him like this, so it's no surprise that Jiangshan was taken by Zhu Laosi!
Fortunately, such a person has been in power for a relatively short time. If he has been in power for a long time, then the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty will be in jeopardy!

Either the surname is no longer Zhu after the change of dynasty, or it was taken over by foreigners hundreds of years in advance!

Zhu Yunxi asked, "Are you from Luzhou, Shanxi?"

Bao Zhao replied, "Reporting to Your Highness, the student is from Luzhou, Shanxi."

Zhu Yunxi asked: "You found someone who slandered the king's reputation and reported it to Jin Yiwei. It's a good job! What reward do you want?"

Bao Zhao hurriedly said: "Thank you for your highness, it is the responsibility of scholars to eradicate rape and evil, and students dare not ask for rewards."

Zhu Yun said with a smile: "You don't have to but I have to. Otherwise, if it spreads out, others will say that I have been unfairly rewarded and punished. Do you want to continue studying in the Imperial College or become an official now?"

Bao Zhao saluted and said: "Your Highness is in charge of everything, students dare not talk without it."

"Um……"

Zhu Yun hummed lightly, and said with satisfaction: "In this case, then you should come to the household department first. There are many things in the household department, and it is the best place to practice."

As soon as Bao Zhao heard this, he understood that His Highness the Emperor Taisun intended to cultivate him, so he said gratefully: "Student, thank you for your cultivation!"

Tie Xuan said from the side: "Your Highness, why don't you let him come to the Commerce and Trade Department, we are classmates, and we just happen to be together, so that I won't be alone in charge of the Commerce and Trade Department..."

Zhu Yunxi laughed and said: "Don't always think about being lazy and playing tricks. If I let Bao Zhao come to the Commerce and Trade Department, you will definitely be the shopkeeper! I don't know your virtue yet!"

Tie Xuan hurriedly said: "I'm wronged, Your Highness, isn't this subordinate thinking of handling the affairs of the Department of Commerce and Trade properly as soon as possible? This subordinate is also dedicated to serving the public and loyal to His Highness..."

"Okay, okay, it's like how wronged you are!"

Zhu Yunxi said: "I'll ask Qu Tao later for two bottles of gold and jade liquid. Since you two are classmates, let's have a drink and get together after handling government affairs at night, lest others say that the emperor's grandson is not considerate of his subordinates!"

Tie Xuan showed joy, and quickly expressed his opinion: "Who dares to say that! Your Highness is the most considerate and considerate of his subordinates. If you want me to know who said that, I will kick him twice!"

Bao Zhao doesn't have the out-of-the-ordinary personality like Tie Xuan, and he has just come into contact with His Royal Highness, the emperor's grandson. The two sides don't know each other well, and they don't know his temper.

So stick to etiquette, bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Yunxi said: "Bao Zhao, you must not learn from him, this guy is used to flattering people, so don't lead you down."

Bao Zhao also sensed the harmonious and relaxed atmosphere of His Highness Taisun, so he replied, "Your Majesty must keep this in mind, please rest assured, Your Highness!"

At this time, he didn't call himself a student, nor did he call himself a "minister", but a "subordinate".

This shows that in his heart, he has already recognized Zhu Yunxi as the master!

This is an expression of allegiance, and it is also a title that I have!

Zhu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, this is exactly what he wanted!
The loyal ministers in history, who would rather bend than bend, would not surrender to Zhu Lao Si's loyal and brave man, of course I like it!

And the reason why Zhu Yunxi asked Tie Xuan to bring Baozhao was definitely not for the sake of rewarding him, nor for the sake of meeting and admiring the demeanor of the ancients.
Getting it in the bag is his plan!

That's why Zhu Yunxi took the initiative to care about arranging his future.

It can be seen that Bao Zhao is also a smart person, and he immediately understood what Zhu Yunxi meant, so he changed his name.

At this time, Qu Tao came in, handed a copy of the greeting card to Zhu Yunxi, and said, "Your Highness has a copy of the card here, please look it over."

Zhu Yunxi took a look and saw that there was no name and official position on the post, obviously the person who sent the post did not want too many people to know about it.

Zhu Yun Zhu Yunxi opened it and frowned immediately.

There are many expensive gifts densely listed on it, and there are even 10 yuan in money!Silk and satin ancient characters and paintings are too numerous to enumerate!
The value listed on this greeting post alone is more than 20 guan.

If it's just some finances, then it's fine. If someone gives gifts to the emperor's grandson, if it's hundreds or thousands of coins, then he doesn't take the emperor's grandson seriously!
Only such a gift can be obtained!

However, it was not the gift that made Zhu Yunxi frown, but the name of the person inscribed on the inscription: Qin Wang Zhu Xi!
And Tie Xuan and Bao Zhao also noticed something strange about His Highness.

Tie Xuan glanced at Qu Tao, Qu Tao understood, shook his head quietly, indicating that he didn't know who the owner of the invitation was.

Tie Xuan tentatively asked: "Your Highness, why is Your Highness worried? I wonder if this subordinate can share His Highness's worries."

"Well...you two, see for yourself."

With a smile on the corner of Zhu Yunxi's mouth, he handed the greeting card to Tie Xuan for Bao Zhao and the others to watch.

Then he said: "Look, the King of Qin is really generous, one hundred thousand guan of money, one hundred thousand guan of property, this move is 20 guan, which is much richer than me!"

Tie Xuan also frowned after reading the greeting post, and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, the king of Qin sent you so much property obviously for something... I just don't know why he invited you to meet?"

Zhu Yunxi said with a blank face: "I don't know how many people's fat and people's anointment the King of Qin has collected in the fief. These are not small sums. Doesn't he love money? It's surprising how generous he is."

Tie Xuan said: "His Royal Highness, Zuo Zhuan said it very well. In the 25th year of Emperor Zhaogong, it said: If you want to ask others, you should first give it to you. The gift is also a good thing."

After speaking, he put the greeting stickers in front of Zhu Yunxi again.

Courtesy to people, there must be something to ask for!
Zhu Yunxi also understands that King Qin is his second uncle, and in terms of succession to the throne, Zhu Yu is the most legitimate candidate for the heir apparent besides himself!
He is not only Zhu Yuanzhang's first son, but also the second eldest son. After Zhu Biao's death, if he does not choose his son as the crown prince, but chooses from Zhu Yuanzhang's other sons, then he must be the king of Qin!
Therefore, according to the law of etiquette, it is justifiable for the King of Qin to be the heir!
At least it's much more legitimate than Zhu's four elders!
It's a pity that this one is the most asshole, and was hated and annoyed by Zhu Yuanzhang, how could Zhu Yuanzhang make him the heir apparent!

It stands to reason that he has become the crown prince, and King Qin should regard himself as an opponent. Even though Zhu Yuanzhang has issued an edict, he cannot change the candidate for the crown prince.

But these vassal kings who have the opportunity will definitely feel angry in their hearts, and it would be good not to embarrass themselves if they don't show up.
How could you deliberately please yourself and give yourself a great gift!
Zhu Yunxi said: "It happens that you are all here, so let's talk about the intention of my Second Uncle Qin Wang to do this."

Bao Zhao thought for a while, and tried to say: "Your Highness, I have some thoughts in my mind, I don't know if it's right, whether I should say it or not..."

"Just say it, and it's easy to refer to it when you say it."

Only then did Bao Zhao speak: "Your Highness, this subordinate feels that King Qin's intention of doing this is not for His Highness, but for His Majesty!"

"Oh, how do you say that?" Zhu Yunxi asked a little surprised.

Bao Zhao bowed and saluted, and continued: "His Royal Highness, according to seniority, King Qin is your second uncle, and now you have become the grandson of the emperor and the heir apparent of Ming Dynasty. According to King Qin's personality, it is impossible to intentionally please your nephew. Son……"

Tie Xuan couldn't help but said, "Then why did he do this?!"

Baozhao replied, "Earlier, because of what the king of Qin did in the fief, he was angered by heaven and people, so His Majesty called him back to the capital to reprimand him.
Until... until the crown prince pleaded for King Qin in front of His Majesty, His Majesty released him from the imprisonment and let him return to the fiefdom. "

Bao Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Yunxi, and said, "But the crown prince still pleaded for the King of Qin in various ways during his illness, and then he became seriously ill and died...

His Majesty could not guarantee that he would not turn his anger on him, so the subordinates guessed that King Qin's move might be to gain His Highness's approval, and then he would definitely ask His Majesty to intercede for him in front of His Majesty, so that King Qin could obtain His Majesty's forgiveness! "

The king of Qin, Zhu Xun, made troubles, and Zhu Biao, who caused Zhu Biao to be sick, still worried about him and pleaded for mercy. Zhu Yuanzhang originally resented him, so how could he not vent his anger at this time!
Some people may say that Zhu Biao's death has nothing to do with King Qin,

But we need to understand what is meant by the word "expression of anger".

Venting anger means venting anger on irrelevant people, implicating some innocent people and becoming "scapegoats".

It's like elders who love their children and grandchildren. If the children and grandchildren fall, they will scold the person who put the things!

It doesn't matter whether people's things are placed correctly!
Zhu Biao is dead, and all the people and things that made Zhu Biao worry and tired will become the targets of anger!

What's more, what King Qin did has always disgusted Zhu Yuanzhang!

After hearing this, Tie Xuan also said: "Yes, Your Highness, you are the son of the crown prince, and you are also His Majesty's newly established His Majesty the Grandson of the Emperor. What you say will greatly affect your Majesty. If you can get your approval, then it will be a good thing for the King of Qin himself." It will be of great benefit to obtain His Majesty's forgiveness!"

Zhu Yunxie nodded, and said quite agreeingly: "I am afraid that this is the only reason why the second uncle of the King of Qin can put down his dignity and give me presents now!"

Tapping the greeting stickers on the table with his fingers, Zhu Yun said: "I don't know how he collected the money. This money is not clean, so you can't take it."

Tie Xuan said worriedly: "Your Highness, if you don't accept it, King Qin may have a misunderstanding..."

We must know that for thousands of years, the land of China has been deeply influenced by the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, advocating courtesy and reciprocity.

In "Book of Rites · Qu Li", it is said: "Reciprocity is respected, and it is not proper to go and not come, and it is not proper to come and not go."
