There was a warm sun in the sky, but Li Jinglong looked at Hu Guan, who was joking next to him, and for some reason he felt that the other person's eyes were a bit sinister.
This feeling seems to have been seen before somewhere, it is both strange and familiar.
And with every gesture, he could clearly feel that the prince-in-law, whom he didn't think highly of before, had changed.
~~
"The King of Jin has arrived!"
At this moment, a procession slowly approached on the official road. At the front were dozens of knights in black armor, surrounded by a young man wearing an ordinary samurai uniform with a waistband, galloping over on horseback.
Upon seeing this, Li Jinglong and the other two people rushed forward to greet him.
"I see the King of Jin is a thousand years old!"
The young and handsome Jin King Zhu Ji jumped off the horse neatly, threw the reins to the guards behind him, and laughed, "I have too many things to carry with me, so I can't ride lightly and quickly!" As he said this, he looked at the faces of the three people for a moment.
.
Afterwards, he first helped the consort Hu Guan up with his own hands and said, "Excuse me for waiting, uncle!"
"I don't dare!" Hu Guan said respectfully.
"My family doesn't need so many etiquettes!" Zhu Jixi smiled and looked at Li Jinglong again, "Mr. Cao Guo, it's been many years since we last seen each other. You're fine now!"
Li Jinglong looked at King Jin's motorcade and said with a smile, "Thanks to the Thousand Years of Your Majesty, I wish you all the best!"
"We will be a family from now on! You don't have to be polite!" Zhu Jixi smiled, "I am just a biological sister with the same mother, so I will entrust it to your family!"
"Of course I don't dare to neglect you!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "The dog's ability to respect the princess is a blessing he has cultivated over several lifetimes!"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is waiting for you in the palace!" At this time, Hu Guan whispered in Zhu Jixi's ear.
"I understand, let's go to the palace first!" Zhu Jixi smiled, then turned to the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion and ordered, "First send the princess to Guzai's mansion in the city."
"yes!"
Then Zhu Jixi nodded to Li Jinglong and Deng Ping again, and mounted his horse again. Hu Guan also changed his horse, and the two walked side by side.
Li Jinglong frowned and looked at the backs of the two of them.
"Tsk tsk!" Deng Ping looked at the Jin King's motorcade passing in front of him and said, "Brother-in-law, the Jin King brought a lot of dowry, there are dozens of carts!"
After he finished speaking, Li Jinglong's voice was not heard. He turned his head in surprise, "Brother-in-law, what are you looking at?"
"That's wrong!" Li Jinglong whispered.
"What's wrong?" Deng Ping wondered.
Li Jinglong thought about it, "I always feel like there is something wrong with King Jin's visit this time?"
"Isn't it just a wedding?" Deng Ping became more and more puzzled.
Li Jinglong did not speak, but continued to look thoughtfully at the direction in which Hu Guan and King Jin disappeared.
He looked over here and saw Jin Wang Zhu Jixi talking to Hu Guan in a low voice on horseback.
"Uncle, how do you think the emperor looks today?"
"Long live the Lord, I am very happy today. I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you in the Royal Garden!"
"Hey, it's useless for me. Tell me those things...Hey!"
Hearing King Jin sigh twice, Hu Guan on the horse had no expression on his face.
~~
Forbidden City, Royal Garden Tingxuexuan.
Zhu Yunxi was wearing a loose Taoist robe without any sash. He stood by the gurgling water and casually fed the koi carp swimming in the water.
"Your Majesty, Prince Jin and the Prince Consort are here!"
"Well!" Zhu Yunxi threw away the bait in his hand, clapped his hands, "Pass it on!"
After waiting for a while, Jin Wang Zhu Jixi was in front and Hu Guan was behind, "I'm waiting to see the emperor!"
"Get up!" Zhu Yunxi waved his hands and said with a smile, "You bastard, move a stool for them!"
Then Zhu Yunxi also sat down, crossed his legs, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said with a smile, "Is the journey going smoothly?"
Zhu Jixi bowed slightly and said with a smile, "He Qing Haiyan was in the prosperous Ming Dynasty, so everything went smoothly!"
"You kid!" Zhu Yunxi laughed.
Although the two are about the same age, Zhu Jixi is like a junior in front of Zhu Yunxi. It's not that he is afraid, but he has more respect.
"The prince-in-law told me that you have been feeling aggrieved recently. What's going on?"
There were many secret correspondences between the two cousins, Zhu Yunxi and Prince Jin, most of which passed through the hands of Hu Guan. Hu Guan also came forward for many things. He was invited to the official position of Guanglu Temple, which was owned by the entire royal family. The great butler, sit up and be justified.
"Hey!" Zhu Jixi sighed again.
"You are so young, why are you sighing so much?" Zhu Yunxi slowly ate melon seeds.
"You don't know!" Zhu Jixi frowned and said, "The second, third, and fourth sons in the family are getting more and more outrageous!" As he said, he sighed again, "They have been asking me all day long when the imperial court will grant the fiefdom. .And privately, rumors were spread that I, the eldest brother, was on guard against the younger ones like them, and kept all the palace's wealth in his hands..."
Zhu Yunxi said nothing, listening to Zhu Jixi's words that seemed to be short-lived.
The late King of Jin Zhu Fan left seven sons in total, the youngest was five years old, and the eldest was the same age as Zhu Yunxi. The title of King Jin was usurped by Zhu Jixi, and the others were all county princes.
According to the rules set by the old man, these princes should enclose the Jin vassal fiefs and grant them land and population. But you know that Zhu Yunxi is not even willing to enclose his own uncles, let alone these cousins?
Furthermore, these guys are not good people in history.
After Zhu Di was in trouble, Zhu Jixi's third brother, Zhu Jixi, secretly reported to Zhu Di that his eldest brother was disloyal to Emperor Jianwen in the fourth year of his reign. Zhu Di was worried that he had no excuse to deal with the Jin vassal, so he directly imprisoned Zhu Jixi, his eldest nephew.
"I think that I am an elder brother, and my eldest brother is my father, so I try not to criticize them harshly!" Zhu Jixi continued, "But they are getting more and more outrageous!" As he said, he looked around and whispered, "In private, tell Liu Jixi Uncle, Uncle Seventeen and others are hooking up!"
"The Thirteenth Uncle of Datong is also entangled with them. He keeps saying some stupid things to them that are not a son of man." Zhu Jixi said, taking a peek at Zhu Yunxi's face, "At the end of the year last year, the Thirteenth Uncle and the Tenth Uncle were also entangled. Uncle Qi sent me a letter saying that I have not received the military reward from the imperial court at the end of the year, so I want to transfer some military supplies from you."
"I naturally refused and said no. But my third son turned around and told them that there was something in Taiyuan's treasury. They still..."
Zhu Yunxi wiped his hands with a handkerchief, drank water to moisten his throat, "What else can you say?"
"They also said that Uncle Thirteenth and Seventeenth Uncle's military supplies are not enough. It's not because they were delayed on the road, but because Your Majesty simply choked them. The reason why I have plenty here is because the Emperor ordered that I be given priority in supplying you!"
After saying that, he raised his head again and looked at Zhu Yunxi's expression.
But Zhu Yunxi didn't seem to hear it and asked lightly, "Is there more?"
"And..." Zhu Jixi glanced at Hu Guan, "I don't know about the other ministers." After saying that, he stood up to plead guilty, "I am guilty, and the things the emperor told me were not done well, and I can't take care of them." Living at home makes a lot of noise!"
"Can't you control it? Can't you do it?" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "So you're complaining to me?" He said, his smile subdued, "You are the prince, and those incompetent brothers can't control it? The family law is just a decoration? I have a purpose.
, Dai Fan and Ning Fan are all beside Jin Fan, but you are the only one who follows the lead, and you let them sit on your neck and point fingers? "
"I am incompetent!" Zhu Jixi looked ashamed.
He looked honest and honest with a bit of incompetence, but in fact Zhu Yunxi knew in his heart that this boy came to complain on purpose. As for the purpose of the complaint, it was even more obvious.
He made the emperor Zhu Yunxi angry, and then dealt with his brothers. On behalf of Wang Ning, the two uncles who had shown him some good looks also gave him some good looks.
"I can't stand up if I don't take responsibility! I want to eat mutton but I'm afraid of showing off!"
Zhu Yunxi made an attribution to Zhu Jixi in his heart.
It would definitely not be appropriate for such a person to accept the military power of King Dai and King Ning in the future.
At this moment, the bastard Bashan said outside the pavilion, "Long live my Lord, Prince An is here!"
