Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 581 Could it be that Grandpa Huang is pretending to be sick?
When Yang Shiqi heard this, he didn't know for a while whether he should scold his mother or be moved.

He is only in his 20s this year, and he has already become an official at the level of a chief envoy. If he is given military power, he will be almost like a Jiedu envoy in the late Tang Dynasty!
How much power must this be, even if the emperor's own younger brother is in power, the emperor may not be assured of the right, can the court entrust him with a young man in his 20s?
Furthermore, the reason why the imperial court separates the military and the government, and has a county king come over to sit in the town, isn't it to avoid the expansion of the place?

According to Zhu Yunxi's arrangement, even if Yang Shiqi did nothing, he would be impeached by the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty and become a sieve!
There is no other reason, but because he is too high and powerful, and his surname is not Zhu!

"His Royal Highness, I will deeply appreciate your kindness, but this arrangement of yours is absolutely unacceptable to me!"

"Brother Yang, don't be polite to me. I don't have many friends in this world. You just happen to be one of them. Instead of making others cheaper, it's better to make you cheaper..."

"Your Highness, you are not taking advantage of me, you are trying to force me to death!"

"The army in Guihua City can only be managed by people surnamed Zhu, and Song Guogong and Ying Guogong can't do it!"

"The location of this place is too important. You can control the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and Desert, and you can attack the capital if you retreat. Only those who are absolutely trustworthy by His Majesty and the Emperor's grandson can take on this important task!"

"Absolutely trust it?"

Zhu Yunxuan's face was very moved when he heard this, and he looked at Yang Shiqi in disbelief.

"Brother Yang, you said that the grandson of the emperor put me here because he trusted me?"

Yang Shiqi heard that he wanted to kick this grandson to death, isn't that obvious!
"Of course!"

"Your Highness Prince Heng, think about it, if it wasn't for His Highness's absolute trust in you, how could he entrust such an important task to you?"

"You must know that the fiefdom of His Royal Highness Daiwang is next to Guihua City. His Royal Highness did not choose to take charge of Guihua City on behalf of the king, but sent you here alone. He just wanted you to take care of Guihua City for him. The headquarters of Mengyuan and Chagatai!"

"what!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard Yang Shiqi's explanation, his heart was filled with emotion, and his tears couldn't help streaming down his face, and he muttered to himself.

"Third brother, younger brother...I'm sorry, younger brother, woo woo woo..."

Yang Shiqi was stunned when he saw this situation, he thought to himself that he didn't say anything, why did His Royal Highness Prince Heng be so moved?

"His Royal Highness, are you okay?"

Zhu Yunxi wiped away his tears, and explained with a guilty conscience.

"fine!"

"Gu just remembered how kind the third brother was to me, and I miss the third brother a little..."

"Your Highness and the Empress Dowager really have a deep brotherhood, so it's no wonder the Empress Dowager trusts you so much."

Yang Shiqi agreed, and then looked at the memorial on the table.

"Since Your Highness knows the good intentions of the emperor grandson, shouldn't this memorial..."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi looked at the memorial, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face.

"Then put it away for now, and give it to the third brother when I get into trouble later?"

Yang Shiqi sighed secretly when he heard the words, thinking that His Highness Prince Heng knew that he would cause trouble, right?
However, with his sloppy behavior, he would really get into trouble sooner or later.But it's probably not a big disaster. It's some small mistakes like dereliction of duty. The emperor's grandson probably won't do anything to him.

While the two were talking, a thousand households outside the door came forward to report.

"Your Highness, I have been ordered to arrest all the people from Yuelai Inn, please show me how to deal with it next."

"what?"

Zhu Yunxi immediately panicked when he heard this, looked at Yang Shiqi uneasily, and explained with a guilty conscience.

"Brother Yang, I learned from an offline report that there is a group of Chagatai spies hiding in the Yuelai Inn..."

"Since it's a spy, His Royal Highness King Heng can handle it on his own, but he will give the next document afterwards, so as not to be singled out by others."

"Oh oh oh... I will order someone to send the documents over after a while..."

"In that case, I will not bother Your Highness."

After Yang Shiqi left, Zhu Yunxi led the guards to the place outside the city where the prisoners were temporarily held.

In order to protect Zhu Yunqi from being discovered, Zhu Yunxuan deliberately sent away all the guards in the palace, and only brought a few unfamiliar soldiers with him.

However, Zhu Yunxuan walked around in front of the group of people arrested at the Yuelai Inn, but he didn't notice Zhu Yunqi.

"what?"

"What's wrong, Your Highness, but what's wrong?"

"Are all the people from Yuelai Inn here?"

"Return to Your Highness, it is indeed all here!"

"Who is the owner of Yuelai Inn?"

As soon as Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, a hundred households immediately picked out a short, fat middle-aged man from the crowd.

"His Royal Highness, this person is the innkeeper!"

Zhu Yunxuan looked at the short and fat innkeeper, expressionlessly pulled out the waist knife from Baihu's waist, and stabbed heavily at the innkeeper's stomach.

Zhu Yunxi's sudden move not only frightened the innkeeper, but also frightened the guards and hundreds of households nearby.

"Your Highness, you are..."

Zhu Yunxi remained calm when he heard the words, but turned the handle of the knife around in his hand, making the wound on the innkeeper's stomach bigger, and then pulled out the knife under the incredulous eyes of the innkeeper.

"You know why I want to kill you?"

The innkeeper shook his head blankly when he heard the words, and wanted to speak, but was blocked by the linen cloth, unable to utter a word.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly.

"Since you don't know, go back and ask your master carefully!"

When the innkeeper heard the last sentence, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but with the sudden appearance, the brilliance in his eyes gradually lost, and finally he fell to the ground unwillingly.

Zhu Yunxi was sure that the innkeeper was completely dead, then he looked at the other kneeling people around him, and made a decision that horrified everyone.

"Bury the rest!"

"what?"

The people kneeling on the ground struggled and whined, as if they were begging Zhu Yunxi to let them live.

When the surrounding guards heard this, panic expressions appeared on their faces.

There are more than 100 people here, including Mongolian people, Chagatai people, and Ming merchants.

Are they all buried alive?

"Your Highness, this matter is no small matter. Do you want to ask His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager?"

Zhu Yunxi roared on the spot when he heard this.

"What do you mean?"

"Gu is the King of Guihua, and all the troops in Guihua City obey Gu's orders!"

"You little Baihu official, you dare to use the lonely third brother to suppress me, don't you want to live!"

"Your Highness, calm down, I don't mean that, I just feel that there are so many people..."

Zhu Yunxuan interrupted Baihu's words arrogantly.

"To shut up!"

"What you have to do now is to execute the military order!"

"Even if something big happens, there will be someone alone, and it's not your turn to be responsible for it!"

"This……"

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi had said so, the hundred household officials could only bite the bullet and agree.

"promise!"

"Humble job will bury them all...all of them!"

An hour later, the woodland outside Guihua City returned to calm again, but the color of a piece of land was a little different from the surrounding ones, the color looked a little lighter, and it was a little soft to step on.

Although Zhu Yunxi's deeds were terrific and no one was left alive, it still caused an uproar in Guihua City, and it reached Yang Shiqi's ears within an afternoon.

When Yang Shiqi heard that Zhu Yunxi had buried more than 100 people in the Yuelai Inn alive, he slid off the chair in shock and finally got up from the ground, still looking at the official who came to report with disbelief.

"What are you talking about, His Highness King Heng buried all the more than 100 people in Yuelai Inn alive?"

"Yes!"

"There are more than 30 Ming merchants, all of whom were buried alive by His Highness!"

"why!"

"I don't know, I just heard that there were spies in there, His Royal Highness Prince Heng didn't bother to interrogate, so he buried them all alive..."

When Yang Shiqi heard this, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

"Bastard!"

"In vain I devoted my heart and soul to him, and defended him in every possible way, thinking that he could be different from other vassal princes of Ming Dynasty, so it turns out that he is so brutal and bloodthirsty!"

"no!"

"I want to write a letter, I want to impeach him, and I want the emperor to punish him severely!"

"Your Excellency, be careful!"

"Since His Royal Highness Prince Heng dared to kill more than 100 people, he won't touch you if they don't get them all..."

Yang Shiqi was even angrier when he heard the words.

"Then let him touch me, it just so happens that I don't want to live anymore!"

Yang Shiqi rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion angrily, and went straight to the telecommunications office located in the City Lord's Mansion.

In order to crucify Zhu Yunxi, he not only sent Zhu Yunxi a secret telegram, but also sent it to all the chief envoys in the 13 provinces of Ming Dynasty in clear codes, which is another kind of announcement to the world.

In this way, even if Zhu Yunxi wanted to defend Zhu Yunxi, he still had to consider what people in the world would say.

As soon as Yang Shiqi's clear-coded telegram was sent, the whole Ming Dynasty was blown up.

Political envoys from all over the country wrote letters to the imperial court through telegrams and post stations, requesting the imperial court to severely punish Zhu Yunxi.

When the other vassals heard about this, they hurriedly disregarded their ties, while secretly dealing with the bad things they had done, while declaring their support for all the decisions of the court.

Only Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was uncharacteristically expressing his urgency, maybe Zhu Yunxi had some unspeakable secrets.

However, to the surprise of all the officials of Ming Dynasty, such a big event spread to the capital without any movement.

Neither the imperial court nor the emperor's grandson issued an order to deal with Zhu Yunxi!
Jinling Forbidden City.

I don't know if it's fate, or because he predicted his life in advance, Lao Zhu's health deteriorated after the Chinese New Year.

In the beginning, it was just a reduction in diet, but later even my thinking became a little confused, sober for a while, and confused for a while.

However, the most frustrating thing is that all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital couldn't find out the cause of the disease, even with various advanced instruments invented by Zhu Yunxi.

Now Zhu Yunxi is full of worries about Lao Zhu's body, how can he be in the mood to deal with Zhu Yunxi's bastard thing?
"Your Highness, Your Majesty's health is fine, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc. are normal, and the pulse is only weak, which is not a sign of illness..."

"Then why is Grandpa Huang already bedridden?"

"Could it be that Grandpa Huang is pretending to be sick?"

Imperial physician Hao lowered his head secretly when he heard this, although he didn't say anything, that's exactly what he wanted to express.

In fact, he is not the only one who sees it this way, other imperial physicians in the imperial hospital also see it this way, and they all suspect that the old emperor is pretending to be sick.

But Zhu Yunxi didn't see it that way, and even regretted it a bit, secretly blaming himself for not telling Lao Zhu his life expectancy in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have made Lao Zhu so sluggish.

"Gu knows, Grandpa Huang must have a heart disease!"

"Heart disease?"

Hao Wenjie and Imperial Physician Ge looked at each other, exchanged glances secretly, and speculated that the old emperor might miss the second prince Zhu Xi.

"Your Highness, His Highness King Qin should be back soon, right?"

"almost!"

"It is said that we have already passed Koryo, and we will arrive in the capital in about ten days."

"Great, Your Majesty will definitely be delighted to see His Highness King Qin, and half of his illness will be healed by then!"

Zhu Yunxi sighed secretly.

"hope so!"

"You go down first, I just want to stay with Grandpa Huang alone for a while."

"promise!"

After everyone withdrew, Zhu Yunxi sat beside Lao Zhu's bed, watching Lao Zhu who was getting thinner and weeping.

"Grandfather, grandson should never have told you about that, otherwise you wouldn't..."

Lao Zhu opened his eyes with great effort, and looked at his grandson with pity.

"Silly boy, we are very lucky to have such a shrewd and capable grandson as you, and to be able to predict the date of our own death in advance, and make arrangements for the afterlife in advance..."

"Grandfather!"

Lao Zhu tried his best to raise his hand, trying to wipe Zhu Yunxi's tears, but he couldn't make any effort.

"we……"

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi quickly grabbed Lao Zhu's hand, and pressed his hand tightly to his face.

"Grandpa Huang, don't worry, grandson has already asked Master to find a way. Master is a land god, and he will definitely think of a way to prolong your life!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, a gleam of hope flashed in his dark eyes.

"really?"

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi nodded hurriedly.

"real!"

"It's absolutely true!"

"Master told me that as long as we build high-rise buildings around the capital according to the Jiugong Bagua, and then gather 20 Taoist priests to form a formation, we can extend the life of the emperor for another [-] years!"

"Oh?"

If Zhu Yunxi was just talking casually, Lao Zhu would never believe it.But what Zhu Yunxi said was too mysterious, and someone with a nose and eyes, even the nine palaces and gossip, and eight thousand Taoist priests came up with it, so he couldn't help but not believe it.

"Isn't that too wasteful?"

Zhu Yunxi saw that Lao Zhu was doing this, and he even cared about how much money he spent with him, so angry that he cried bitterly on the spot.

"Grandfather, no matter how much money you spend, grandson will keep you, and let you follow grandson to witness the heroic scene of Ming Dynasty dominating the world and sweeping the Western Regions!"

"And this thing doesn't cost much. My grandson has already asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to calculate it. It is estimated that 1000 million taels will be about the same!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, 1000 million taels is not much, you are such a prodigal!"

Seeing that Lao Zhu still had the strength to scold him, Zhu Yunxi immediately became happy.

"Grandfather, don't feel bad about money, your grandson has enough money, enough to keep you alive!"

Old Zhu said with a face full of relief when he heard the words.

"Good good!"

"Grandpa Huang will try his best to live until the day you renew our lives!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Grandson will order Master to enter the palace and explain the process of renewing his life to Grandpa Huang!"

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunxi's back, a smile flashed across his face.

Regardless of whether the life extension is true or not, he is satisfied with this grandson's filial piety.
