"It seems that the old man's birthday is actually the last feast for all the kings!"
Zhu Di withdrew from Lezhizhai, and in just a moment, he understood why the emperor wanted everyone to come to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.
In addition to being filial to the old man, it is also the last chance the emperor gives everyone. The Zhu family will never have such warmth again in the future.
After the old man died, there were no family affairs between uncles, nephews and brothers, it was all state affairs.
All kings are ministers.
If the king wants his ministers to die, he will want his ministers to die.
"It's quite difficult for him!" When Zhu Di turned around at the door, he took another look at Zhu Yunxi's back, and suddenly felt something in his heart, "If it were me, I wouldn't worry about these powerful vassal kings."
After thinking about it in his mind, he strode outside.
As soon as I walked out of the second door, I suddenly met the person coming towards me.
The other party was obviously slightly surprised to see Zhu Di, and then smiled and saluted, "Your Majesty, Li Jinglong, may the King of Yan live a thousand years!"
Under the winter sunshine, the python robe on Li Jinglong is particularly bright. He is actually about the same age as Zhu Di, but at first glance, Li Jinglong, who has always been pampered in Beijing, seems to be several years younger than Zhu Di.
"Jiujiang!" Zhu Di smiled and gave him some support, "Please get up quickly."
Li Jinglong stood up and asked, "When did the prince arrive?"
"Gu Ye has just arrived. Are you going to see the emperor?" Zhu Di and Li Jinglong politely said nonsense that they knew each other well.
"Yes, the menu for the birthday celebration of the Supreme Emperor is ready. I will show it to the Lord Long Live!" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
"Okay!" Zhu Di smiled, "You have liked to take care of these lively things since you were a child."
This remark is actually a secret sarcasm to Li Jinglong, you are just a man making trouble in this life.
Of course Li Jinglong could hear it, but he didn't care. He took half a step sideways to get out of the way, "Your Majesty, please, I will excuse you."
"Yes!" Zhu Di nodded, stood still and walked past Li Jinglong.
Somehow, Zhu Di suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Li Jinglong had a good relationship with him when he was a child. When they were both studying in Wenhua Hall, King Jingjiang's bastard temper always bullied Li Jinglong, but he still stepped in to block him.
Later, why did we drift away from each other?
I should be the one who dislikes him more and more for his philistine attitude of doing whatever the wind brings to no avail, and even more dislikes the fact that he is obviously a noble son, but he has no intention of making any achievements in martial arts.
"Hey!" It was too late to think about this now, Zhu Di shook his head secretly.
But just as he was about to leave, he paused and suddenly shouted to Li Jinglong's back before he had gone far, "Stay in Jiujiang!"
~~~
Li Jinglong looked at Zhu Di in surprise, and then looked at the eunuchs standing in the distance with their hands hanging in fear.
He never imagined that Yan King Zhu Di was outside the emperor's Lezhizhai, under the noses of Bashan's disciples and disciples, pulling his sleeves and pulling him aside.
"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, why don't you just finish it here?" Li Jinglong said.
Zhu Di stopped and looked at Li Jinglong with his hands behind his back without saying a word.
This is a unique move of the Zhu family. When they want to say something, they put their hands behind their backs and look at people sideways.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Jinglong asked again.
Zhu Di hesitated for a moment, "I have something to ask you. We have known each other since childhood, and you also know Gu's temper. You don't ask for help at all, so..."
"You have a weird temper. Anyone who gets along with you will be fine, but anyone who doesn't get along with you won't do anything!"
Li Jinglong cursed in his heart and pretended to be stupid on his face, "What do you want Chitose to ask?" He said with a smile, "You are the prince, what can I do if you can't do it?"
Seeing him like this, Zhu Di really wanted to walk away on the spot.
But he still endured it and frowned, "Just now, the emperor told Gu that someone..." He lowered his voice, "Someone embezzled military pay... The emperor's words were vague, and Gu didn't hear clearly and didn't ask in detail.
.Do you... know who it is?"
Suddenly, Li Jinglong's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, as if he had heard a fairy tale, "Ah? Is there such a thing?" After saying that, he quickly looked around in horror, "This matter... How did the subordinate know about it?"
Then, he added, "Do you think the lower senses can know this?"
In fact, he was secretly happy.
"I won't tell you, hey, I won't tell you!"
He said he didn't know, but his eyes couldn't deceive anyone.
Zhu Di was furious on the spot, "Li Jiujiang, are you going to fucking tell me?" He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Believe it or not, I will throw you into the pond?"
Li Jinglong hurriedly took a few steps back, and the painful memory of studying with the princes was instantly awakened.
"No, Your Majesty... After all, this official is also a minister of the country. Please tell me..."
"I'm so fucking unreasonable today, don't you say it?" Zhu Di stepped forward and grabbed Li Jinglong's arm with his iron hand, "Li Jiujiang, have you forgotten the past..."
"Your Majesty, you really don't know!" Li Jinglong felt his arm being caught in a vise, and his face was throbbing in pain, "Your Majesty, let go."
"Fuck..." Zhu Di was about to lift his leg, then suddenly paused.
After all, things are not the same as before, and Li Jiujiang is not the Li Jiujiang he used to be. He, Zhu Di, now has to keep his tail between his legs.
So with a bit of anger and a bit of loss, he let go of Li Jinglong and said, "Gungungun, I'm sorry for letting the boss come to Beijing and send winter gifts to your family. You, Li Jiujiang, just go and be a philistine."
With that said, he strode out without looking back.
Li Jinglong looked at him and suddenly said out of nowhere, "King Yan, stay!"
"What's going on?" Zhu Di turned around with a cold eyebrow.
Li Jinglong took half a step forward and said with a smile, "Does the prince's Beiping Mansion also have a branch of the big money bank Sheng Hengda?"
Zhu Di was stunned, he never cared about such things.
"If the prince has a private house, take it out quickly!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "You just returned to Beijing and you don't know who the Sheng Hengda Bank has offended. Now there is a famine?"
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Zhongyuan didn't get the money back in time, and the ship carrying the banknotes was seized in Wuchang."
"Then you and me..." As he said this, Zhu Di understood immediately.
He looked at Li Jinglong seriously, nodded and said, "Renqinggu has recorded it."
After saying that, he turned around and left with a long stride.
He walked away, and Li Jinglong suddenly raised his hand and gave himself a slap in the face. "Why tell him? Are you crazy?"
After scolding himself, he straightened his clothes and walked towards Lezhizhai.
As soon as I stepped in, I was suddenly shocked.
In the official room on the second floor, Zhu Yunxi cursed angrily, "You Burmese barbarian, are you making trouble at this time? Why don't you give me some eye drops? Shameless, send an order to Muchun, gather an army to suppress that guy! No, arrest him!"
The capital, offer prisoners at the Meridian Gate!"
~~
But he said that Zhu Di was walking towards the Yong'an Palace of the old man, cursing in his heart as he walked.
"The five and six bastards!"
He had heard Li Jinglong's words clearly. It was the bank and the money was being deducted. As for the embezzlement of military pay that the emperor was talking about, there was no one else but these two people.
He was just the sixth king of Chu, and Zhu Di had only had an average relationship with him since he was a child.
His sixth brother, when he was a child, felt that he was superior to his brothers. On the day he was born, it was the old man who conquered the land of Chu. When he was happy, he casually said that when he grows up, he will be named Chu.
Zhu Di didn't care whether King Chu lived or died, but his fifth brother King Zhou...
At this time, he was walking along the corridors of the deep palace under the guidance of the eunuch. Before he reached the old man's Yong'an Palace, he saw countless people in front of him, surrounding the old man and a large group of vassal princes, as if they were strolling around.
Zhu Di looked up and saw that this was the place where these vassal kings lived when they were young, the prince of the Eastern Sixth Palace.
