Haidonghang

Chapter 1 The Battle of Jing Nan
Huge fire dragons galloped and roared unscrupulously between the pavilions and palaces, and the huge Forbidden City was illuminated by the dazzling fire light.

Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi never thought that a moment ago he was still sitting in Kyushu, looking down on the world's ninety-five kings, but the next second he was about to become a sad and deplorable king of subjugation.

He didn't understand why his fourth uncle could be so decisive. Although he advocated cutting down the vassals, he never thought of taking the lives of these imperial uncles. As long as they can keep themselves safe, they and their descendants will surely enjoy the glory and wealth forever .

Even after hearing the news of Zhu Di's rebellion, he ordered his subordinates not to hurt his life.But King Yan became even more aggressive, and today he pointed directly at the palace gate.

Historical experience tells Zhu Yunqi that in today's situation, he and Zhu Di will either die or die, and they will not be able to coexist.

What is the magical power of that throne?Can a person become so insane that he can draw a knife against his relatives who are connected by blood?

He regrets it.When the three brothers Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui came to Beijing to worship the emperor Taizu on behalf of their fathers, I had the opportunity to detain them in Beijing.

With these three hostages in hand, Yan Wang Zhu Di would not dare to act rashly, and the matter would not get to where it is today.But at the beginning, he listened to Huang Zicheng's opinion and sent the three brothers back to Peiping.

He regretted why he had the benevolence of a woman, and said to Geng Bingwen who led the army, "Please don't let me be charged with killing my uncle." On the battlefield, kindness to the enemy will undoubtedly make him Into a situation beyond redemption.

He regretted why he didn't kill this shameless man after Cao Guogong Li Jinglong was defeated.Otherwise, Zhu Di would not be in the land of no one when he crossed the Jinchuan Gate today.Maybe I will have a chance to fight back.

He hates it.He hated his uncle for forcing him into such a situation regardless of blood relationship.

He hates that his subordinates are full of people who are stalking people. They usually look righteous and vow to die, but when the crisis comes, they have long since disappeared without a trace.

He hated his grandfather, why he killed all the generals who protected the country and made it so that he had no generals to use when facing King Yan.

He hated this thief God, why he obviously chose to ascend to this supreme position by himself, but sent another person to deprive it of everything.If he had known it would be the ending today, he would rather have given up the throne in the first place.

But all these remorse and unwillingness will eventually be burned in the raging fire. The large pillars in the hall are hissing under the erosion of the flames. His son Zhu Wenkui was hugging him tightly.

She is not afraid of death. When she first met the man in front of her, she had already decided that this man would be her everything.

When he was brilliant, she once accompanied him to rule the world, but now he is about to fail, although they can't make a comeback together.But it may not be a beautiful thing in the world to go to the underworld together and fly together.

So, when Zhu Yunqi set the palace on fire, she didn't say a word, but walked to the man's side silently, and gently held his hand.

It's just that I feel sorry for my own child. He has not tried the beauty of the world, and he is about to die like this.I hope that in the next life I will not grow up in the emperor's house again.

"Cough cough cough..." She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed lightly a few times.Then he didn't say a word, but quietly clenched the handkerchief with a smear of red.

"Queen, I'm sorry for you!" Zhu Yunqi turned his head and said tenderly to the queen. "A concubine is not bitter, meeting the emperor in this life is the greatest happiness of a concubine." Memories are like a flood gate, once opened, thoughts are like a flood, and it is out of control.

As the imperial capital, Yingtian Mansion has always been thriving in commerce and business, full of people.

"Boss, how much is Zhang Zeduan's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"?"

"My lord, you really have a good eye. You immediately fell in love with the treasure of our store. This painting "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival" was bought by my ancestors from the people of Song Ting Palace with a lot of money. It is a priceless treasure. Let’s sell it to you for 10 taels.” The boss of Zhenbaozhai said to the young man in front of him with a smile, he was afraid that the young man would not believe him, so he specially edited the origin of this painting.

In fact, he bought this painting from an antique dealer in Bianjing for 5 taels. He had found many calligraphy and paintings for appraisal. Although one of them raised doubts, others came up with The conclusions are the same: this painting is the authentic work of Zhang Zeduan, a master of calligraphy and painting in the Northern Song Dynasty.So he has always hung the painting in the most conspicuous position in the store.

However, the businessman was after profit, and he always believed that if the painting was purchased directly from the court, then its authenticity would be more unquestionable and the price would be higher.So there is the previous rhetoric.

Zhenbaozhai is the most famous antique shop in the capital city. There are countless rare treasures in it. Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries are regular customers of this shop.But the young man in front of him was the first time he saw it, but judging from his clothes and behavior, he must be either rich or noble.Therefore, the boss is very polite to Zhu Yunqi who is visiting Weifu.

Zhu Yunqi nodded to his entourage, and the entourage took out a large stack of banknotes from his arms.Looking at the pile of banknotes, the boss of Zhenbaozhai's eyes lit up.

"Wait." Just as the two parties were about to make a deal, a slender hand pressed on the pile of bank notes.Everyone's eyes could not help turning to the direction of the sound.

The person who said this was a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, skin like creamy fat, and a faint fragrance exuded from the light gauze.Beside her was a girl who looked like a servant girl, she seemed to be a lady from the official family.

I don't know why, but when Zhu Yunwen saw this young lady for the first time, he couldn't help but think of such a poem as "the green eyebrows are open, the beauty is far away, the green temples are full of spring smoke."

"What... this lady, what do you mean?" The owner of Zhenbaozhai who had been disturbed wanted to get angry, but seeing the woman in front of her dressed in clothes, he had to suppress his anger and asked dispiritedly.

"Your painting is fake." The woman said.

"Miss, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. My ancestors bought this painting with a lot of money from the palace people of the Song Dynasty. How can you say it is fake?" The boss's face became even more ugly.

"I don't know how your painting came about, but I know that the real "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is hidden in the palace."

"If your painting is genuine, then your painting should have been stolen from the palace. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who steal money from the palace will be sentenced to death and the three clans will be wiped out."

"Even if you didn't steal this painting, if you dare to sell the things in the palace, you will not be guaranteed to end up with your head on the ground. I advise you to clean up this ominous thing as soon as possible," the woman said. It is sonorous and powerful, as if it has seen the real painting before.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yunqi couldn't help being more interested in the woman in front of him.As the owner of the East Palace, he certainly knew that the real "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was still kept in the palace at this time.Then why would he spend such a large sum of money on a fake?

The reason lies in the North Korean envoy who will arrive in Beijing three days later.After the establishment of the Joseon regime, Goryeo general Lee Sung-gye continued to carry out major policies towards Ming Dynasty.

Although Emperor Hongwu believed that Li Chenggui's position was not right, he did not have a high opinion of Li Chenggui personally.However, in view of his pro-Ming attitude, he still negatively recognized the legitimacy of Li Chenggui's regime.From then on, the Joseon Dynasty replaced the Goryeo Dynasty and became a subsidiary state of the Ming Dynasty, paying tribute every year and coming to the court every year.In order to show the prestige of the celestial dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also rewarded many gifts in return every time.

However, in recent years, because Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Li Chenggui sent people to pretend to be Japanese pirates to plunder the coast of Daming, and Li Chenggui's thank you form contained insulting words, so the relationship between the two countries suddenly fell into a tense situation.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an ultimatum to North Korea, asking Li Chenggui to send his son to escort to Beijing the thieves who invaded the coast of the Ming Dynasty confessed by the pirate Hood.Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, if Li Chenggui did as he ordered, then the suzerain-vassal relationship between the two countries would be restored. If Li Chenggui violated the law, then the Ming cavalry would flatten the Korean peninsula within a few days.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect Li Chenggui to respond so quickly. In the 27th year of Hongwu, Li Chenggui sent his fifth son Li Fangyuan to lead a mission to Daming.

After hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang approached Zhu Yunqi and asked him to prepare this tribute in return.This is the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang has asked Zhu Yunwen to handle foreign affairs since he became the grandson of the emperor. However, what may have happened before still makes Zhu Yuanzhang feel like a thorn in his throat. Zhu Yuanzhang made a request to Zhu Yunwen: rise up brightly and fall down secretly without losing the majesty of Ming Dynasty.

"Ascend brightly and descend secretly, without losing the majesty of the Ming Dynasty?" This is a bit difficult for Zhu Yun.So it is not possible to reward some gold, silver, jewelry and silk satin as usual.Otherwise, once the quantity is wrong, people with discerning eyes can see it at a glance.Since you can't play tricks on "quantity", you can only focus on the context of "quality".

Many eunuchs in the palace were from North Korea, and Zhu Yunwen learned from them that Li Fangyuan loved calligraphy and painting as much as himself.Do you love calligraphy and painting?Then give him one, but of course calligraphy and painting in the palace is not feasible, otherwise it will run counter to Zhu Yuanzhang's vision. Since the palace is not good, then simply go outside the palace to see if you can find something suitable .

Zhu Yunwen took a fancy to Zhenbaozhai's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" at first sight. The painting's superb painting skills are not inferior to the real ones in the palace.

It can be said that if two paintings are put together, it is difficult for even an expert in appraising treasures to distinguish who is real and who is fake.Although the price of this painting is not very cheap, the 10 taels of silver is undoubtedly nothing compared to the property rewarded to the North Korean mission before.So he ordered his subordinates to buy the painting without hesitation.Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a little girl.

But why did she know about the affairs in the palace?Judging by her appearance, she is definitely not a court lady.Also, who is she?
