Zhu Di was the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang. He was named King of Yan at the age of 11. Since he was fourteen, he followed Lan Yu's army to fight, defeating the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty at the Krulun River. After returning to the country, he became the strongest northern barrier in the Ming Dynasty.

The folk song says: The King of Yan is in the vassal state, and it is as solid as a god.

It started from the Fisher Sea in the north, ended at the Great Wall in the south, connected to the Silk Road in the west, and broke from Jiayu Pass in the east. Zhu Di guarded for one day, and the remaining soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not dare to go south rashly.

Zhu Di looked like his mother, but no one in the court knew who Zhu Di's biological mother was. They all said that King Yan's appearance was very different from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a narrow eye and a broad nose, and an eagle looked at a tiger and walked.

Zhu Di had thick eyebrows, his eyes were like lacquer, his nose was high and his lips were as thin as a knife. His eyes were sometimes cramped and narrow-minded, just like the slippery and sloppy veterans who had been in the army for many years, seemed careless, but quite scheming.

The fate is like a word, and the thin-lipped person is the most ruthless. Yun Qi doesn't think so. At least Zhu Di is very good to Xu Qing, and by the way he treats Xu Qing's family, he is also very good to him.

Sure enough, Zhu Di shook his robe and sat down and said, "Your sister came to ask me, is the twenty-scepter I took for the emperor's grandson last time? In three days, my elder brother will be in funeral. I will say a few words to the emperor and take you to Peking for several days, so that the whole family can get together."

Yunqi handed over the tea and said with a wry smile: "I want to take leave and go to your place to play. Look at this situation, how can I get out?"

Zhu Di said: "You might as well let Feng'er guard it, I will talk to you."

Yun Qi hurriedly said, "Leave him alone, I'm afraid I can't suppress it if something happens."

Zhu Di looked at Yunqi for a while and felt aroused in his heart. Yunqi spat: "You are just about 10 years older than us, and you are also yelling with a look of "Feng'er" and "Yun'er".

Zhu Di laughed and said with great interest: "I picked up Tuobafeng. Like my son, what if he doesn't call Feng'er?"

The son-in-law and uncle exchanged a few casual greetings, all of which were talking about the political situation in the capital. Zhu Di guarded Beiping for many years and was not very familiar with the affairs of the Nanjing court. Yun Qi was so generous that he told the emperor one by one. Finally, when talking about Lan Yu, he sighed for a long time.

Zhu Di shook his head and sighed: "I went to war with General Lan and marched and set up formations back then. I have received a lot of guidance from him. To be serious, without the Lan Yu of that year, I would not be able to build military achievements and be subject to the vassal of Beiping."

"The reason why today comes back to the end is all thanks to Lan Yu."

Yun Qi mocked, "I'm afraid you thank him in your heart, but he doesn't appreciate it very much. I wanted to be a party that day and ask you two to have a drink. Lan Yu also said that you are full of bad water, and you don't like it."

The two looked at each other and laughed for a moment, and Zhu Di said seriously: "I am really a good citizen who is obedient..."

Yun Qi was so amused that he said, "Let's blow it now, and the wind flashed his tongue." After saying that, he made a move and stood up, and said, "The vassal king is a foreign minister. He should not communicate with his close servants so that the group of censors would not let the braids pull their hair, so he would not be able to protect you."

"I won't send it anymore. Come home and ask my sister for safety."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Well, let's go now."

Yun Qi sent Zhu Di to the door, and Zhu Di asked again: "How is the emperor doing well recently?"

Yun Qi joked, "I'm going to have another person who wants to rebel. Is it okay to ask what he is doing?"

Zhu Di smiled wickedly and said, "You don't know. The old man always likes to be suspicious. He asked him to ask him in person. After asking for help, he would suspect that I had rebelled. He couldn't say that he had to ask you. You and Feng'er were staying beside him. What's wrong with my father?"

Yunqi seemed to be touched, and he thought Zhu Di was sincere. He leaned against the door and thought for a moment, and replied, "Tell me the truth, it's not great."

Zhu Di's expression changed: "What do you say?!"

Yun Qi whispered: "Last time I hit Fang Xiaoru, I was coughing up blood. I heard that he practiced martial arts at the middle age and was distracted by the things around him. He is now working hard day and night, and his physical condition is weak when he is old... I am afraid he can't last for the past few years."

Zhu Di let out a sigh, put his hands in his arms, looking like a leisurely prince, the brocade and jade belt, and the embroidered clothes of Taotie became the foil of the soldiers, which looked very funny.

Zhu Di said casually: "Brother-in-law, my brother-in-law's glory and wealth depend on you..."

Yun Qi turned around and invited Shang Fang Baojian. Zhu Di hurriedly fled. When he passed by the front yard, he hurriedly grabbed Tuo Bafeng and talked outside the door for a while. Tuo Bafeng came in with a strange look on his face after hearing what he teased.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen has been appointed as the crown prince. Otherwise, if he was the emperor by this military gangster, he would not know how to make trouble.

Yunqi stretched out and left the room. He picked up the broom in the yard and swept the fallen leaves into a pile. At that time, Tuobafeng hurried into the room with a stack of paper tickets in his arms.

Yun Qi was secretly amused, thinking that he probably got the silver notes from Zhu Di to reward his son, so he ran to hide his private money. So he said, "Old Ba, come and find two sweet potatoes, roast the leaves and eat them."

Tuobafeng absent-mindedly said "Oh" in the center of the room.

Yunqi swept left and right, and suddenly saw a piece of paper in the corner of the courtyard. He bowed and picked it up, and said seriously: "Silver notes... five million!?!"

Yun Qi suddenly changed his tone and held the piece of paper and shouted.

"Senior brother! I got a silver note worth five million!"

Yun Qi rushed into the room with a piss and collided with Tuo Bafeng. Tuo Bafeng spread Yun Qi's hand, took a look, and kneaded it into a ball and threw it away:

"That's paper money burned to the dead."

“…”

"You haven't seen paper money?"

“…”

The guards who came out of the room all laughed out loud, Yun Qi's faces flushed, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

On the 48th day after Prince Zhu Biao was buried.

The autumn was as cool as water, and tens of thousands of people were killed in Nanjing, and the two sides of the Qinhuai River became cold overnight.

Today is Zhu Biaowei Qi, and the Jinyiwei all changed into black clothes and patrolled the palace. Just wait for the 49th day later, tomorrow morning, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen and his relatives from the royal family helped out the capital. Then the emperor's grandson wore filial piety, removed his crown and coffin, and sent it to Fengyang.

Zhu Biao's impression in Yunqi's heart was just an honest and kind person, always smiling gently, not adapting when encountering things, lacking a sense of humor, not understanding the jokes made by the guards, and only nodding. What kind of pot and cover with Huang Zicheng?

Zhu Yunwen looked very much like the late prince, but he was kinder inside. Compared with the father and son, King of Yan Zhu Di... Yunqi felt that Zhu Di still looked like Zhu Yuanzhang when he was young.

The dusk was dark, and the drums of the Jinyiwei handed over the shift were ringing.

Tuobafeng pulled his collar straight and was about to take over Yunqi's shift. The closed paint door of Qinghe Hall opened.

Huang Zicheng and five Jinyiwei went out together. Yunqi stood at the door and whispered: "The emperor said that you and I will stand together, and the rest will wait outside the hall."

Tuobafeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

"What?" Yun Qi observed Tuo Bafeng's expression. Tuo Bafeng remained silent and looked up and entered.

Yun Qi shook Tuobafeng's hand and separated each other in a tacit understanding. The head and deputy envoy of the Jinyiwei were on duty at the same time, which only meant two things:

1: Zhu Yuanzhang has important secrets to deal with.

2: Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill someone.

The hall was brightly lit, and the oil lamps cast light from all directions towards the dragon case, eliminating Zhu Yuanzhang's hunchbacked figure.

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed a few times and waved the old eunuch forward.

The eunuch bowed and left the hall. Only the rest of the hall stood on the left, and Xu Yun stood on the right.

Zhu Yuanzhang placed the blood-stained handkerchief in front of the desk, and pushed the door open again, and Zhu Yunwen came in.

The moment the door was closed, Yunqi caught a glimpse of Huang Zicheng's complex expression.

"Grandson pays homage to the emperor and grandfather." Zhu Yunwen's eyes were slightly red and he bowed.

Yunqi sighed in his heart. Zhu Yunwen always didn't know how to hide it and was ignorant. When he thought of the dead prince, his mood was clearly written on his face.

Zhu Yunwen had a beautiful eyebrows and a grief-like tenderness in his eyes. Zhu Yuanzhang saw it and sighed: "The dead are gone, Yunwen, don't be too sad and take your body carefully."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, and Yunqi suddenly understood why Zhu Yunwen could stand out.

It is extremely difficult to find the true nature of the imperial family. Zhu Yuanzhang himself is a master of power and conspiracy. When he faces Zhu Di, he has long been clear about his son. Instead, he has a strong eye for Zhu Yunwen, who never hides himself in front of the emperor and is open and honest.

Zhu Di was destined to be the King of Yan. In other words, cunning and power struggle were Zhu Yuanzhang's lifelong regrets. In order to make up for this regret, he wanted to pass the throne to the free and easy Zhu Yunwen, just like a goal that he could not achieve, and he had to use the hands of his descendants to complete it.

Zhu Yunwen bowed again and replied "Yes", so the grandparents and grandchildren met in silence. After a long time, Zhu Yunwen broke the silence uneasy and said, "I will help the spirit tomorrow, will my grandfather go?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Of course I have to go."

Zhu Yunwen nodded and felt relieved. Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Tell you first. If you become familiar with the way, you will have to learn how to deal with funerals in a few years. You must learn to take care of funerals by yourself. Send your grandfather's coffin back to Fengyang and bury it with your father."

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he felt sad and burst into tears.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and comforted him: "Don't cry, Yun Wen, who will die?"

At that moment, Yun Qi vaguely had an illusion that Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer like an emperor who had just killed tens of thousands of lives, but more like a kind and kind old man.

Zhu Yunwen cried for a long time, and nodded in tears and knelt down.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Grandpa has already prepared your world for you. Now that you have a few of your uncles guarding the border, you can be the emperor at home with peace of mind."

Zhu Yunwen sobbed for a moment and nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "If you want to listen, you can listen. If you don't want to listen, you can fight and not be dismissed. If you don't want to be dismissed, you can't do it. If you don't have them in the court, you won't be able to do it."

Yun Qi's heart immediately raised to his throat, and he could almost feel Tuobafeng's heartbeat on the other side of the Long Case.

How would Zhu Yuanzhang evaluate the Jinyiwei? What is the purpose of mentioning the topic in front of the two of them?!

You have to cut one person... so as not to be too strong, you have to cut one person so as not to be too strong, you have to cut one person... Yun Qi's hand cage in his sleeves kept trembling, raised his eyes and looked at Tuobafeng, just wanting to go over and stand with him and stand in front of Tuobafeng.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, then said, "Bronze..."

Yun Qi was covered in sweat, and the sweat soaked the guard's belt.

Yunqi never expected that Zhu Yunwen would interrupt Zhu Yuanzhang at this time.

"The foreign enemies have uncles guarding me, but... what if the uncles rebel, what should Yun Wen do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang could not have thought of it, so he was slightly stunned in front of this question.

Yunqi and Tuobafeng breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was quiet for a moment, and then said, "How are you going?"

Zhu Yunwen lowered his head, thought for a while, and looked up and said, "Submit it with virtue, then use etiquette to bind his actions, and then cut off his vassal states, if it is not good, it will be..."
To be continued...
