Daming heir

Chapter 292 The Foreign Devils Are Here

With the news that Sun Cheng brought Jin Yiwei to find him, Zhu Yunxi finally ended the embarrassing atmosphere with Xu Huizu.

Standing on the porch watching Xu Huizu lead Xu Fuxu out of the Yougu courtyard, leading a group of armored soldiers away, Zhu Yunxi finally heaved a sigh of relief, and a layer of cold sweat finally oozes from his forehead .

He was going to use force against himself!

Zhu Yunxi thought about the soldiers who were waiting for Xu Huizu outside Yougu courtyard just now, his expression was a little tangled, and then he had another thought.

I don't know how she would choose if she really made a move?

Snapped!
Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand and patted his face lightly.

Sun Cheng looked puzzled as his grandson slapped him in the face, and turned his head to look at Tian Mai next to him, hoping that the other party could explain the reason to him.

Tian Mai just glanced at Sun Cheng, and then looked at Zhu Yunxi: "Your Highness, something is wrong, let's go inside and let the two subordinates report."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, suppressing the matter between himself and Xu Miaojin, the older aunt, turned around and walked into the house again.

"The news has been verified by Jin Yiwei and Dark Guard, and it is true."

Inside the house, after the door was tied, Tian Mai reported with a gloomy face: "The rumors were indeed spread from the city early this morning, and now everyone around Yingtian City probably knows about it. If it is not controlled, it may be spread by those merchants who left the city farther."

At this time, Sun Cheng finally returned to his professionalism, and said with a calm face: "After hearing the news, Jin Yiwei has been secretly investigating the source of the rumors in the city, but there seems to be a cloud of fog, and Jin Yiwei has been unable to track down where the source came from. But what is certain is that the rumors were born in the city that night after His Highness wrote to the various ministries of the court yesterday."

After the two finished speaking, they looked at Zhu Yunxi together, waiting for the emperor's grandson's decision and instructions.

Things are quirky everywhere.

This made Zhu Yunxi difficult to make a decision for a while, frowning, trying to find out who is spreading the rumors behind his back.

It's just that the more you unravel, the more messy the whole thing becomes.

Zhu Yunxi remained silent for a long time, Sun Cheng and Tian Mai could only stand aside and dare not speak out.

I don't know when.

There was a knock on the door again.

The voice was very hasty.

It caused the three of Zhu Yunxi in the room to look up at the same time.

Tian Mai glanced at it, silently pressed her palm on the handle of the knife on her waist, walked to the back of the door, pulled out the latch, and slowly opened the door.

The people outside seemed to be staring at the door all the time, and when they saw the door being opened, they immediately pushed it hard from the outside.

"Brother Xi, something is wrong, someone wants to fuck you!"

Zhu Shangbing's loud voice came directly into the room from outside.

He was the first to rush in, almost causing Tian Mai, who was standing behind the door, to accidentally fall down.

Behind Zhu Shangbing, Zhu Gaochi walked in frowning.

"Please close the door."

After entering the room, Zhu Gaochi did not forget to look back at Tian Mai, and gave a warning.

Afterwards, he walked up to Zhu Yunxi.

"You already know about the rumors?"

Zhu Gaochi asked, took the tea cup handed over by Zhu Shangbing, and looked over Zhu Yunxi to Sun Cheng who was beside him.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "I already know, but I still can't figure out who is behind the scenes."

Zhu Shangbing probably came here in a hurry from the palace, he was drinking water all the time, and when he was full, he wiped his mouth and said: "This is not easy, just make a list, and anyone who might be against Brother Xi, I will Bring the officers and soldiers to knock on the door of every house, and if anyone hears the sound and shows their feet, we will arrest them."

He is quick-witted, and knows how to knock mountains and shake tigers.

Zhu Yunxi glanced silently, but shook his head: "The most important thing is to figure out their purpose now."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi smiled and nodded, "I think so too. Only by figuring out what they want first can we guess who is behind it."

As long as a matter needs to be turned around to think about it, Zhu Shangbing ignores it and sits on the side playing with the teacup.

Zhu Yunxie said: "From the obvious point of view, they want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, to lure the people to seek profit by using excuses, to give up their original work, and to look for those things. In this way, the double robbing of Xia Harvest may change, and the place will There will be chaos, and the tax revenue that the court has worked so hard to increase in the past two years will inevitably fluctuate."

"They are not ordinary people." Zhu Gaochi said suddenly, and then said in a deep voice, "Since the news spread so quickly, it is impossible to just cause chaos in the court and the local area."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Yunxi lightly.

Zhu Yunxi and Xiaopang looked at each other, their eyes gradually darkened, and they said quietly: "They even want to take this opportunity to attack me."

Zhu Gaochi snorted twice: "The emperor's grandson, who supervises the country at the time, loves strange things and prostitution, drives the people away for profit, and disturbs the country. These people behind the scenes will have the opportunity to attack you for being unbearable as the country's foundation."

"They want to rebel!"

Zhu Shangbing on the side gave a cold shout, his face was already full of murderous intent.

Zhu Yunxi let out a long sigh, and said solemnly, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Zhu Gaochi sighed lightly, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"They have a big plan." Zhu Yunxi sighed with emotion, then lowered his voice and said worriedly: "Their purpose is only to stop me from losing?"

This is very cryptic.

Zhu Gaochi frowned, then his heart beat wildly, and his face became more and more tense.

"They want it!"

Zhu Gaochi gasped and opened his mouth wide.

Zhu Yunxi immediately waved his hand to stop Xiaopang from speaking behind, and then nodded heavily.

Emperor Hongwu is getting old.

The prince is also inconvenient now.

As the great grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if Zhu Yunxi was captured because of today's events, it would not be the Ming Dynasty that would be most impacted and affected.

There is no more grandson of the emperor, and there are still huge clan heirs in the Ming Dynasty.

But who didn't know that Zhu Yunxi was the candidate whom the emperor and the prince valued and had high hopes for.

This is a symbol of the three generations of Ming Dynasty.

By Zhu Yunxi's side, what would the emperor and the prince think, and what kind of changes would they have in the face of the shattering of things that had been established for three generations.

People who are old and weak are prone to accidents and accidents.

Zhu Gaochi said worriedly: "Then what should we do about this matter now?"

After finishing speaking, the Yan Shizi, who has lost a lot of weight, continued his own words and said: "I think we should once again write in the yamen of the various ministries and in the places where we write, and reward one hundred taels for everything we find."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Xiaopang.

This is pretty much the same as I thought.

It is to write directly to the court to thoroughly clarify the amount of rewards for finding objects.

One hundred taels is no more, no less, and those people who are restricted by household registration will not be allowed to leave their fields for the reward of a hundred taels, and they will have to search for things against the government's search.

But it can also make those merchants and other groups have an idea that they might encounter these things at some point.

"Let's do it this way."

Zhu Yunxi sighed lightly.

This time when I returned to Beijing, I just wanted to do something in a safe and down-to-earth manner, but I didn't expect that there would always be people who were restless.

Do they think that the court has not punished enough beheaded people in the past two years?

Zhu Gaochi also let out a long sigh: "Next, how are you going to deal with it?"

The opponent had already made a move, and Zhu Gaochi knew very well that it was absolutely impossible to tolerate these people continuing to hide in the dark according to Brother Xun's temperament.

From returning to Yingtian City with his father and mother concubine, and being dragged by Brother Bing to go to Jiaozhi Road, he has gained a lot.

And most importantly, he more or less understood brother Zong's philosophy of governing the country.

Zhu Gaochi clearly remembered that on the boat back to Beijing, brother Xun told himself that in the future he wanted to make everyone in Daming full, and never live in a fixed place again.

This is Brother Zong's dream, but Zhu Gaochi has to admit that it is also his own dream.

And with the experience of Qinghua City on Jiaozhi Road, Zhu Gaochi firmly believed that Brother Xun did not lie to himself.

Therefore, Daming still has a long way to go.

It is absolutely impossible for Brother Xi to allow it. When walking on the road, one must always be on guard against black hands that may appear from behind at any time.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Sun Cheng and Tian Mai as Zhu Gaochi expected.

"Jin Yiwei and Dark Guard, one light and one dark, closely monitor Yingtian City."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi said to Zhu Gaochi again: "Since we are going to write to the court again, those people will definitely receive the same news, and it will be up to them how to deal with it."

……

few days left.

The rumor that Ying Tiancheng had just aroused was shattered because of the court's writing again.

For a while, Ying Tian seemed to have finally calmed down.

It's just that in the dark, the Jinyiwei and the dark guards are doing their best to strictly control and guard against suspicious people in the city.

On the contrary, Zhu Yunxi, the protagonist of the incident and the target of the conspiracy, seemed to be at ease.

Outside the palace, Xia Yuanji was still as busy as a dog.

Xie Jin finally ushered in his new career.

The general inspects the official roads and post roads in Zhili and the fields in the countryside, and the general supervises the cement work.

Craftsman Zhang from the eighth rank has been working with the talented scholar of the Ming Dynasty and Hanlin Jieshi every day.

Roads in Zhili need to be improved.

The important place of taxation in the Ming Dynasty is now in Zhili, Jiangnan and Jiangbei, which account for almost [-]% of the world's taxes.

It is precisely because of this that Zhili has the most merchants and the most freight.

Communicate with places, speed up freight, use official roads and post roads as the backbone, radiate towards the four directions, and integrate the whole Zhili into one.Just like when Zhejiang Road was used as the pilot project for stalls entering the mu.

The firing of cement naturally became the top priority.

To the west of Yingtian City, close to Taiping Mansion, cement workshops have already started to be built.

Thus, Xie Jin disappeared from Yingtian City.

And in Yingtian City.

Concubine Hui had been looking forward to the spring feast for a long time, and it finally started and came to a successful conclusion.

During the period, the honorable children of the Ming Dynasty, through a spring feast, with Concubine Hui as a matchmaker, formed several couples in a day.

"Your Majesty said that Jing Chuan Hou fought bravely in Jiaozhi Dao last year. His three sons have never been married in these years. Now they can marry the daughter of the Bo family in Dongguan, which is considered complete."

In the small garden of the East Palace, Tang Queqing was muttering softly.

Zhu Yunxi leaned on the soft chair beside him, letting Mu Caiyun stuff seasonal fruits into his mouth.

Tang Queqing said again: "Your Majesty also said that Miss Miaojin of Zhongshan Prince's Mansion can be regarded as a role model for women in Beijing. If we have time, we will go to Xiaoling to pay homage and pray for Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yunxi, who was enjoying the service of Mu girl, was suddenly taken aback.

Then he glanced cautiously at Tang Queqing who was blushing suddenly at the side for some reason.

This is knowing what, and then getting angry?
There was a trace of uneasiness in Zhu Yunxi's heart.

But he didn't want to, Tang Queqing suddenly glanced at Mu Caiyun who was still ignorant and wanted to pry the grandson's mouth open, and then lowered his head shyly.

"Your Majesty said that this year we will choose an auspicious day for us to get married..."

call……

Zhu Yunxi secretly let out a sigh of relief, and his heart settled down.

Then he laughed loudly, turned his head and grabbed Mu Caiyun's hand, opened his mouth, put the fruit and smooth fingers in his mouth, and let go of Mu Caiyun's already shy eyes with foggy eyes after a full circle. Colorful clouds.

"Grandpa also hinted at me when I returned to Beijing." After saying something to Tang Queqing, Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Mu Caiyun, who was squatting on the ground with her head bowed, and patted the little girl on the head: "Father is at my time, I have already given birth to my eldest brother with my concubine mother. It is understandable for grandpa to be anxious now, Concubine Hui and several other concubines are also talking about the lack of children's noise in the palace all day long."

Tang Queqing blushed and lowered his head, nodded and hummed.

Zhu Yunxi said again: "After we get married, let's work harder so that Grandpa and the ladies can't hug each other!"

Tang Queqing's heart skipped a beat, he raised his head and glared at the generous Zhu Yunxie, then lowered his head with a blushing face.

On the other hand, Mu Yatou raised her head and said in a low voice, "Then there will be more than a dozen children..."

Tang Queqing raised his head abruptly, staring at Mu Caiyun who said he was going to give birth to a dozen with wide eyes, with surprise and helplessness on his face.

This girl doesn't understand anything.

Zhu Yunxi laughed out loud.

She couldn't help stretching out her hands, one left and one right supporting Mu Caiyun's cheeks.

Then use your hands hard.

boo.

Mu Caiyun's cheeks were squeezed together, Fenfen's small mouth was pouting together, and she blinked her bright and bright eyes, shining brightly.

"Your Highness, Sun Qianhu is here."

Tang Queqing looked at Sun Cheng who was coming not far away, and reminded him softly.

Zhu Yunxi turned around, and saw that Sun Cheng was wearing a thousand-household flying fish suit today, standing at the gate of the small garden.

Let go of Mu Caiyun's face and pat the girl on the head.

Zhu Yunxie glared at the girl: "When the south is more stable, let your brother stay in Yunnan, and the imperial court will call Xipinghou back to heaven."

Daddy is going to be called back to heaven.

Mu Caiyun's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded her head crisply.

And Zhu Yunxi had already got up and walked towards Sun Cheng.

"What happened?"

Sun Cheng bowed his hands and joined his hands together: "Report to the third master, Mr. Xia asked someone to pass me a message, saying that he would like to invite the third master to the household department."

"Go to the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Zhu Yunxi asked suspiciously, "Isn't he accompanying the Counselor in the Huagai Palace today?"

This is a question and answer, and Sun Cheng can't give an answer.

Zhu Yunxi didn't expect to get an answer either, so he waved his hand: "Go to the household department."

In Yingtian City in spring, thin petals are always fluttering in the sky, and the air is warm and moist.

Xia Yuanji, who is now a Tobe doctor, is easy to find.

His Gong Xie is next to Shang Shu and Shi Lang Gong Xie, so it can be seen that he has become the highest-ranking person in the household department besides Shang Shu and Shi Lang.

Of course, there is no minister in the household department, and there is only one servant, Yu Xin, who doesn't work very much.

Walk from outside the yamen to Xia Yuanji's office.

Zhu Yunxi heard a chattering sound coming from the office.

"Xia Langzhong, I heard that the grandson of the Emperor Jian Guo of Ming Dynasty is very young, will he not come?"

"Xia Langzhong, I don't know if we can discuss our business with Daming again."

These are a few voices with a rather different emphasis, half foreign and half native, like raw rice.

Then, there was a sound of the cup lid rubbing against the teacup.

Then Xia Yuanji's calm voice came out: "The grandson of the emperor is lenient, and he must treat everyone equally. As long as you abide by the rules of etiquette, you must not overstep in the slightest. It is still easy for me to talk to the grandson."

"Yes, yes, the emperor's grandson is naturally the best talker."

creak.

The door of the public house was pushed open by Zhu Yunxi from the outside.

Xia Yuanji, who was sitting on the main seat and holding a teacup, immediately frowned and stood up: "Chen Wenhua Hall is walking, Hubu doctor Xia Yuanji, see Your Highness the Grandson."

Zhu Yunxi snorted, and glanced at the foreign devils and Yiren with colorful heads in the office.

It's just that he just looked at a few people, and then these heads disappeared from his eyes.

"Foreign businessmen refer to His Royal Highness, Emperor Taisun of the Ming Dynasty."

"May His Majesty the Emperor Taisun be blessed and in good health."

The sound came from the ground.

Zhu Yunxi lowered his head slightly, and saw that these barbarians and merchants were already kneeling on the ground, their gestures were as submissive as they wanted.

Didn't it mean that the white-skinned foreign devil's knees are hard?
How can I kneel down now.

Zhu Yunxi hummed twice in his heart, did not speak, but nodded calmly, found an empty seat beside him, waved his robe, sat down slowly, put his arms on the armrests, and slowly leaned on the back of the chair.

That's why the foreign devils found Xia Yuanji here because they wanted to find him.

Zhu Yunxi silently looked at these barbarian merchants kneeling on the ground, thinking in his heart.

Then he gave Xia Yuanji a faint look.

Xia Yuanji hurriedly came out from behind the table: "His Royal Highness, all barbarian merchants came to the Ministry of Households today, saying that they have something important to report in front of His Highness, saying that they have something that the imperial court is offering a reward for."

"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi showed suspicion on his face, his posture was calm without any waves, and he just looked indifferently at the few barbarians who were still kneeling on the ground.

The new things in the Central Plains were brought by these people and their descendants.

They said that there was something they offered a reward for, and they probably couldn't be wrong.

However, the posture still needs to be displayed.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi said indifferently: "Everyone has come from afar. Since you are going to offer something that the Ming Dynasty offered as a reward, you have made meritorious service. Let's do it."

Xia Yuanji immediately smiled at Yi Shang and said, "Your Highness wants you all to stand up."

Several barbarians immediately stood up.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi was able to observe these people carefully.

Very typical appearance of white-skinned pig foreign devils.

Deep-set eye sockets, high nose bridge, red and willow green hair, colorful eyeballs, and the faint body odor.

Zhu Yunxi took the tea from Xia Yuanji, took a sip of the matcha soup, and asked the barbarian merchants, "I don't know what rewards you have to offer."
