In the 20th year of Hongwu's reign, King Qin was poisoned to death by an old woman who was a servant of the palace.
In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, the King of Jin suddenly fell ill and died.
The two eldest sons of the Ming Dynasty, the legitimate sons of Empress Ma, died one after another.
On the surface, it is a matter of birth, old age, illness and death, something that mortals can do nothing about. But behind the death, the Northland Frontier Fortress lost two older fortress kings with outstanding military exploits.
As a superior, you should treat so-called ordinary things with the most cautious attitude. In other words, a superior cannot be without suspicion.
The fact that King Qin was poisoned is full of absurdity. The majestic Prince of Ming Dynasty was actually poisoned to death by a few old women. It should be noted that the palace is like a palace. The palace people have no chance to leave the palace, and those who come in from outside are eager to kill them.
Peeling off the skin and searching through the heart, liver and lungs.
Where did the poison come from?
Not to mention an ancient palace man, but a modern person, if you give him poison, does he know how to use it?
Besides, the prince's diet is so meticulous! He said he would poison him to death?
Think about it carefully, after the death of two vassal kings, who will benefit the most in the world?
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi shuddered.
Remember the URL m.wxsy．
King Yan?
However, although he had always been wary of King Yan, Zhu Yunxi was really unwilling to associate the King of Yan with extraordinary bravery, great military exploits, and heroic spirit with these things.
Zhu Di was not a glorious and great husband, but he should never be such a villain. Although he had some small thoughts of his own, Zhu Yunxi could be regarded as aboveboard when looking at what Zhu Di did.
There are some things that Zhu Di, a proud, conceited and sensitive person like him, would disdain to do.
I hope I am overthinking it!
You should be thinking too much!
During the meal, Zhu Yunxi felt like he was chewing wax.
The banquet was over and it was already late at night.
Zhu Yunxi's residence is in the garden of the Jin Dynasty Palace, with beautiful carved beams and painted buildings.
In the tea room, with a pot of tea and a lamp of sandalwood, the uncle and nephew were sitting opposite each other, talking about homely matters.
"Your Highness finally came here and stayed in Taiyuan for a while! There are many scenic spots and places in Taiyuan City, especially those thousand-year-old temples, which are more beautiful than the temples in the capital!" Zhu Fan said with great interest, smiling,
"Most of the monks here are accomplished monks. They are much better than those in Jiangnan who cheat people out of food and drink!"
Zhu Yunxi listened calmly, with a hint of sandalwood pouring into his nose. Then he looked at the exquisite incense burner and asked, "This incense smells good, it is fragrant but not pungent!"
Zhu Fan smiled and said, "This was sent to me by King Huai last month on his birthday!"
King Huai, Zhu Yunwen!
Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly. Zhu Yunwen had always been very honest in the fiefdom. It was said that he read, wrote, and traveled around every day. Why did he suddenly become involved with the King of Jin?
Seeing the slight change in Zhu Yunxi's expression, Zhu Fan couldn't help but become a little cautious and defended, "I don't want it either, but King Huai said that I am the king's uncle. These incense are not worth money, they are all the filial piety of a junior like him!"
After another pause, he said, "I thought, after all, I am also the son of my eldest brother. As an uncle, I have to be unkind. Xiang, I accepted it, and also sent someone to send a few good horses to King Huai, about ten or so.
A good piece of leather..."
"It is normal for uncles and nephews to exchange gifts. Let alone giving gifts, even if a nephew comes to visit the uncle's house, isn't it a natural thing?" Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, took a sip of tea and asked, "Did he only give it to his third uncle?
?”
Zhu Fan pondered, "It seems that the second brother also sent it, right?"
Zhu Yunwen was in Huai'an and had never had much contact with the clan. He didn't send him away early in the morning, but he didn't send it out later. He sent it out last month when he was fighting in Goryeo.
"In the palace, King Huai didn't send it?" Zhu Fan hesitated for a moment and asked.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "In the past few months, I have been patrolling coastal defense in Fujian and then conquering Goryeo. How can I care about these things!"
"Although state affairs are important, Your Highness must also take care of your body. The world's affairs cannot be accomplished in a day. Your Highness, don't be too hasty." Zhu Han said slowly, "In the beginning, eldest brother cared too much about these things. At such a young age,
Just because you got sick, you..."
"Hey, national affairs don't matter!" Zhu Yunxi pointed out, "Family affairs are annoying!"
Zhu Fan paused, "Your Highness is going to Xi'an, but where is the second brother...?"
Zhu Yunxi did not hide it from him. The half-brothers of the Qin and Jin dynasties had close contact with each other. He said, "The King of Qin has some headaches." He took a sip from the teacup and said slowly, "Someone complained to the old man.
The second uncle dotes on his concubine and destroys his wife. He is cruel and ungrateful."
"That Deng family is not a good thing!" Zhu Fan scolded, "The second brother is also blind. The second sister-in-law is such a good woman, but he does not treat her kindly, but instead spoils such a charming girl to no end!"
Then he said angrily, "Since ancient times, how could anyone let a concubine climb on top of his married wife?"
Obviously, Zhu Fan knew something.
The Deng family he mentioned was the concubine of King Qin. In fact, she was also from a famous family, the daughter of the late King Deng Yu of Ninghe. Speaking of which, she was also the sister-in-law of Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, commonly known as sister-in-law.
Li Jinglong and Zhu Yunxi were of the same generation. If he were serious, he would call King Qin Zhu Feng uncle, sister-in-law, and aunt.
In fact, according to the etiquette of the Han family, getting married depends on the seniority of both parties. But the old man and the founding warriors all crawled out of the dead. The marriage of children only depends on age, who cares about other things. Furthermore, when these people get married, it is also
A political marriage to a certain extent.
"Speaking of which, Gu is a bit embarrassed!" Zhu Yunxi looked troubled, "The old man asked Gu to go to King Qin's place to have a look. Third uncle, you also know what this means. But after all, he is Gu's biological uncle and nephew over there.
If you are really cruel, you will inevitably hurt my second uncle’s face!"
Zhu Fan pondered and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to think so. My second brother has gone too far in these years. You can teach him a lesson, and it's reasonable both emotionally and rationally. If he can't understand clearly, I'll argue with him." After saying that,
He cursed again, "It's better for you to go than for the old man to issue an order. He won't be able to understand this!"
"I'm afraid of hurting the relationship between uncle and nephew!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "I only have two uncles who are close relatives. I really don't want to, so what's the point of dissatisfaction!" He said, sighing again, "But the country has laws and the world has rules.
Ethics. If the second uncle’s actions are not dealt with, it will hurt the face of our Zhu family!”
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will tell my second brother these words. He is such an old man, he will understand these truths!" Zhu Fan said in a dull voice.
Zhu Yunxi laughed in his heart, this third uncle is really good. There are some things that you just pass on, so why bother saying it in front of me, as if I asked you to pass it on deliberately.
"Second brother, the more he lives, the more he goes back. The last time the eldest brother visited Guan and Shaanxi, he scolded him. After a few years of inactivity, he fell ill again!" Zhu Han showed a bit of a bad smile, "But this time, it was your highness who scolded him.
, look where he will put his face in the future! Shame on you!"
Zhu Yunxi filled tea with the King of Jin with his own hands and changed the topic, "In the past few years, Jin has been quiet and there has been no invasion from the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"
"He dares!" Zhu Fan said, "If he dares to come, I don't need to beat him. He directly blocks the merchants. No one sells tea, medicine, cloth and other items to them, so they have to drink the northwest wind!"
The Ming Dynasty implemented an economic blockade on Beiyuan, but it didn't sell nothing. It only sold the necessities of your life, but never the contraband controlled by the state.
"That's a bit big!" Zhu Yunxi laughed, "If you don't buy it from Taiyuan, you can buy it from other places!"
"Where? Liaodong, fourth child?" Zhu Fan sneered, "This time His Highness has destroyed Goryeo. Once the Liaodong Tieling Guards are restored, Yan Fan will no longer be popular!"
Zhu Yunxi said, "This time we defeated Goryeo, and my fourth uncle took great credit for it." Then he asked, "Third uncle, there is something I don't know about. You are a good man, and my fourth uncle is also an upright man, but he also likes to ride on horseback.
Prince Sai, who takes the title of fame, why don’t you two look at each other?”
Zhu Fan thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I don't like him, I just look down on him and his arrogance. These brothers, we are about the same age. But except for the eldest brother, he, the fourth, doesn't think of me and him."
Second brother, take it lightly!"
Speaking of this, his face showed a bit of reminiscence, and he said with emotion, "When I was young, my second brother and I were often beaten by my elder brother because of him! Sometimes, I was so angry that I went to my mother to complain, and I had to be beaten again by my mother.
!Mother treats him better than us, our biological children!"
