Chapter Fifty-Six: Urgent Summoning into the Palace(1/2)
Royal Palace.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
"Father, this is indeed true. Although I was shocked at the time, his poems are indeed unique and exquisite."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's unbelieving look, Zhu Biao continued.
"Oh? Then tell me, what kind of poem did he compose?"
Zhu Yuanzhang became interested and asked with a smile.
"In this life, there is no need to worry about anything. Since ancient times, everything has flowed to the east."
Zhu Biao blurted out without even thinking.
On the way into the palace, he had recited this poem more than once.
"In this life, there is no need to ask questions. In the past, everything will flow to the east?"
Zhu Yuanzhang read it silently, the surprise on his face was beyond words.
"Good poetry! It is indeed a good poem!"
"Did he really do this casually?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise.
"Father, it is absolutely true."
Zhu Biao replied affirmatively.
"I really didn't expect that he could actually compose poetry?! Could it be that he had recently read ancient books and misappropriated the words and phrases of the ancients?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said doubtfully.
"No, although I am not a knowledgeable person, I have read a lot of ancient books, and I have never seen this poem in ancient books."
Zhu Biao shook his head and continued to speak affirmatively.
"If it was really him who did it, it would really surprise me!"
"There is no question in this life of carefree life. Everything in the past has gone to waste. It seems that he wants to be a carefree and dandy prodigal in his life. Although the poems are good poems, this ambition is far from the best and he has no ambition at all."
Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but shake his head as he read this poem, a look of disappointment flashed between his brows.
"Father, I think this is what makes him unique. How many people in this world can do not love power, fame and fortune? What's more, he is already the son of the prime minister. If he wants to join the
If you become an official, you will definitely rise to the top."
"But he would rather be an idler. In comparison, his realm is much higher than others. Such people are the talents that our Ming Dynasty needs."
Zhu Biao shook his head and expressed his opinion.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately felt that what Zhu Biao said was very reasonable. He couldn't help but nodded frequently, with a trace of approval between his eyebrows.
At this moment, footsteps were heard, and the eunuch chief Pang Yuhai slowly walked into the hall.
"Your Majesty, Captain Mao would like to see you."
Pang Yuhai saluted with a solemn expression and said slowly.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Pang Yuhai's face and couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, you'd better see for yourself."
Pang Yuhai said hesitantly.
"Let him in."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a deep voice.
Pang Yuhai agreed, turned around and walked out of the hall. Not long after, he led the inspector Mao Xiang into the hall.
"This servant sees your majesty and your highness the prince."
Seeing Mao Xiang with a bruised face and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang and his son were stunned at the same time.
"What happened? We were attacked?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a sullen face, glaring at Mao Xiang.
"I see your Majesty, I see His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Mao Xiang knelt down and saluted with a sad face.
"I'm asking you something!"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this slave was beaten by Hu Fei again! Please make the decision for this slave!"
Mao Xiang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang aggrievedly, and said while holding his tongue, as if he was about to cry.
"He hit you again?!"
"Because of what?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly and asked angrily, looking like he was gritting his teeth.
Among the entire capital, who dares to beat the inspector!?
But now not only does it exist, but it has been beaten twice in a row!
"The minion originally followed him secretly with someone, but he found out. He directly sent people to intercept the minion and several of his subordinates in the alley, slandered the minion..., and then beat the minion and his subordinates!
"
"In order not to cause a conflict, the slave already revealed his identity and even showed him the school inspection badge, but it was better not to see it. After reading it, he became more enthusiastic and actually ordered his people to beat the slave.
Once again!"
"Your Majesty, Hu Fei not only beat the inspector, but also slapped you in the face again. Please make the decision for me!"
Mao Xiang hesitated and told the whole story in an aggrieved manner.
"This is unreasonable! It's simply lawless!"
"Does he regard this capital as his back garden!? If he does whatever he wants, is he going to rebel?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he stamped his feet and said fiercely.
Zhu Biao stood aside, looking at his father's furious look, and couldn't help but frown.
He knew that Jianxiao had been secretly following Hu Fei, and that Hu Fei had personally sent him outside the palace gate to protect him, but he did not expect that Hu Fei would look back and beat Jianxiao directly.
Assaulting the school inspector is not a small crime!
"Captain Mao, what did you say Hu Fei slandered you just now? Why did you stop saying it halfway?"
Zhu Biao turned to look at Mao Xiang and asked slowly while thinking about how to deal with it.
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Mao Xiang's expression changed obviously, and he rolled his eyes and thought about countermeasures.
"Yes! What did he slander you for?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also came to his senses and asked loudly.
"Hu Fei slandered...slandered the slave as an assassin and intended to assassinate His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Mao Xiang replied with a grimace.
He originally wanted to skip this paragraph, but unexpectedly the prince caught the key.
"Why is there anything about you here?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Biao and asked in a deep voice.
"Back to my father's palace, when I returned to the palace, according to the guard report, I did notice someone lurking outside Hongbin Tower, but I didn't pay attention to it at the time. Later, Hu Fei proposed to send my son back to the palace, so I and him
They took a carriage together and arrived outside the palace gate, and then they parted ways. Perhaps Hu Fei mistook Jian Xiao for an assassin, so he led his men to escort the son and minister all the way to the palace gate."
Zhu Yuanzhang replied slowly while thinking.
After listening to Zhu Biao's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned doubtfully and paced back and forth with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, Hu Fei beat the slave twice after knowing his identity. He was clearly challenging His Majesty's authority! The inspection of the school represents His Majesty's will. He is ignoring the imperial authority!"
Seeing that the matter was almost resolved by the prince's words, Mao Xiang hurriedly spoke again.
"Pang Yuhai, immediately declare a decree to summon Hu Fei to the palace! I want to ask him personally what he wants to do?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around suddenly, glared at Pang Yuhai and said sternly.
Pang Yuhai agreed and hurriedly turned around and left the hall.
Zhu Biao glanced at Mao Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, frowned slightly, and felt a trace of worry in his heart.
Mao Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, secretly smiled.
