In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu’s reign, Yingtian City was probably always surrounded by various rumors.
Early in the morning, when a red sun began to appear on the east side of Shenlie Mountain where Xiaoling Mausoleum is located, an unknown rumor began to spread in the streets and alleys, reaching the ears of those who got up early and were busy preparing for the day.<
/p>
The red sunlight crossed the top of Shenlie Mountain and shone on the northeastern corner of Yingtian City, making the glazed tiles on the mountainous palace hall shine with golden light. It was early summer again, and the water vapor was gradually rising, making this palace look like countless other buildings throughout the ages.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace described by people in poems and paintings.
A team of golden-armored guards lined up in a line, holding a golden gun, passing through the gate of the East Palace. Their expressions were solemn and solemn, and the whole team was carrying out their sacred duties.
Step into the palace gate, go around the screen wall and pass through the corridor, and arrive at a house full of alcohol.
A mountain-like body lies on the edge of the bed facing outward.
An arm crossed from behind and rested on this mountain-like body.
Behind, there is another leg, crossing many obstacles, exuding an inexplicable smell, and standing at the highest point of sight.
Zhu Yunxi, who was caught in the middle, frowned, closed his eyes, and his face turned pale.
Zhu Yunxi's nose twitched slightly, as if he wanted to stretch his body, but was blocked by the left and right. Under Mi Mi Huhu's eyes, his eyes were moving slightly.
"Quieqing..."
"Colorful clouds."
Zhu Yunxi murmured in a low voice, arching his body yearningly.
A plop.
It's like bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.
Then, there was a low roar of pain.
Zhu Gaochi, whose face turned red, covered his butt that hit the ground with his backhand, turned his head and stared at Zhu Yunxi on the bed with an angry face.
Seeing that he was still sleeping soundly, Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the ground with a bang.
Just when he was filled with anger, a head stuck out from Zhu Yunxi's lower back.
Zhu Shangbing, who had his head exposed, looked down at Zhu Gaochi who was lying on the ground. He suddenly let out a long belch, exuding a foul smell.
Zhu Gaochi angrily pointed at Zhu Yunxi, who had not yet woken up, and shouted: "Wake him up!"
Zhu Shangbing looked at Zhu Gaochi lying on the ground, and he understood what had just happened.
He nodded, sat up from the bed, pinched Zhu Yunxi's nose with one hand, and before Zhu Yunxi could open his mouth, the other hand had already covered his mouth.
"Uh huh..."
After a while, Zhu Yunxi's legs were suddenly raised, and his eyes widened.
Zhu Shangbing took a look, moved Zhu Yunxi, turned his limbs, and got out of bed with his neck shaking.
Zhu Yunxi blinked and looked at Zhu Shangbing in front of him. The back of his head twitched and whispered, "Why are you here? Where is Brother Chi?"
"I'm here!"
A voice full of resentment reached Zhu Yunxi's ears from an invisible place.
Before he could react, a hand stretched out from under the bed and clasped it on the edge of the bed with a snap.
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment.
Then, looking at Zhu Gaochi with a livid face, he held his waist and became frightened, glaring at Zhu Yunxi angrily.
"It's so abominable! It's so abominable!"
Zhu Gaochi stared at Zhu Yunxi with a look of unspeakable resentment on his face, and his outstretched fingers were trembling.
Zhu Yunxi looked confused and said softly: "Why did you sleep on the ground?"
Zhu Gaochi immediately gritted his teeth and shouted: "You are not the son of a man! You are not the son of a man!"
Zhu Shangbing was almost unable to laugh out loud, his eyes were narrowed to a slit. He held his stomach and pointed at Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi and said: "Do you really not know? Last night, we sent you back to the East Palace, and you started acting like shit again.
I was so drunk that I took Brother Chi and me to drink, and in the end the three of us were all lying here."
Zhu Gaochi rubbed his buttocks and used a little more strength without paying attention. He started sweating in pain and his voice started to twitch: "Do you think that since we are fat and thick, it won't hurt if we fall to the ground?"
At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already gotten off the bed, looked at the marks on Zhu Gaochi's body, and then looked at the ground that was far cleaner than the surroundings, and raised his eyebrows.
Then his eyes moved to the side faintly: "What time is it? Can't we be late at the main hall?"
Zhu Gaochi waved his hand. This great-grandson who had taken him to skip classes all day actually cared about whether there were classes in the main hall?
He waved his sleeves angrily: "It's just past midnight. I won't tell you anymore. I'll go find some clean clothes."
With that said, Zhu Gaochi left with full of resentment.
Zhu Shangbing watched Zhu Gaochi leave, then looked at Zhu Yunxi, whose eyes were still dull, smiled silently, and cupped his hands: "Let's go wash up and change clothes too."
A quarter of an hour later.
The sound of fists and winds came from the East Palace, and the low shouts contained endless power.
At the palace construction site, after a brief familiarization, Zhu Yunxi began to exercise his body with daily boxing, and he was practicing killing skills.
On the stone table nearby, Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Gaochi were sitting safely, eating a few pickles and drinking white porridge.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Yunxi, who was not ready to end it, and asked Zhu Shangbing on the side: "Yesterday, you and Brother Xi secretly competed. Did you lose?"
Peng.
Zhu Shangbing slapped the bowl on the table and stared at Zhu Gaochi: "How have we ever lost!"
Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes and said faintly: "Yesterday you used both hands, Brother Xi only used one hand."
Zhu Shangbing glared at Zhu Gaochi fiercely and said angrily: "You just read your book, we and other military strategists don't have to pretend to understand!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Shangbing asked for help, so he turned to Zhu Yunxi who was still practicing and shouted: "Brother Xi, will this porridge get cold if you don't eat it?"
Zhu Yunxi, who was originally carrying his back, turned around when he heard the sound, and punched out his heart with several sets of tiger claws. Finally, his luck calmed down, and he withdrew his fists and kicks.
While squeezing out the sweat from his clothes, he walked up to the two of them.
"Grandpa and all the uncles, what are you doing right now?"
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi sat down, picked up a few pickles, mixed them with the white porridge, and drank it happily.
Zhu Gaochi had already finished eating. He quickly put down his bowl, wiped his hands and mouth, and said, "I just heard the news. Grandpa and uncles left the palace early in the morning."
Zhu Yunxi raised his face from the bowl: "Oh...where did they go?"
Zhu Gaochi's expression darkened: "Grandpa and the others are going to Xiaoling. They should be taking various uncles to pay homage to grandma."
Zhu Yunxi nodded silently and continued to drink porridge with his head down.
Zhu Shangbing glanced at Zhu Gaochi at this time, and then whispered: "Last night, what grandpa said in front of everyone..."
Zhu Yunxi raised his head, took the bowl with him, drank the last bit of porridge into his stomach, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth and said, "Are you talking about grandpa not wanting to be the emperor?"
Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Gaochi turned their heads and looked around at the same time.
Then Zhu Gaochi said in a voice that only three people could hear: "Don't say this nonsense!"
Zhu Yunxi curled his lips: "There is nothing to be taboo about. If you don't believe it, you two will know now that you are out of the palace. I am afraid that this matter has been spread throughout Yingtian City now."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi laughed softly twice.
After the previous set of punches, the wine from last night has completely dissipated, and the memory and consciousness will naturally wake up.
At this time, if you think about what happened last night, you will have another understanding.
Zhu Shangbing was a little disbelieving and said: "It's impossible for anyone to dare to spread this kind of thing, right?"
Zhu Gaochi, however, changed his gaze: "What if...grandpa spread the news himself..."
Zhu Shangbing trembled all over, looked at Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi with dull eyes, and asked in a low voice with some fear: "Grandpa is planning to trick people?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled, took the wet towel from Cailian, wiped the sweat on his face and neck, and glanced at Zhu Gaochi indifferently.
Zhu Gaochi immediately explained: "My family is now united and united. There will be no trouble here, so it's time to test the outside world."
After Zhu Gaochi finished his explanation, Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "Onlookers are clear, but the authorities are confused. Now, let's see if anyone will think this is an opportunity to take advantage of, and then do something secretly."
Zhu Gaochi's eyes darkened, and he said solemnly: "This subject has already reached the stage of the provincial examination, and will be followed by the general examination and the palace examination. Grandpa is planning to clear all the obstacles that can be cleared before that, so that he can probably calm down when he comes back.
Are you ready to deal with Enke this year?"
When he said this, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Yunxi in front of him with a faint look. He hoped to get a clear answer at this time.
Zhu Yunxi, however, was a little cautious and said: "Things always have to be done step by step, one by one. Our family has to do a lot of things this year."
Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, nodded, and looked not far away, where two little palace ladies were catching a butterfly.
Zhu Shangbing was confused when he heard this. He stretched out his hand to scratch his head anxiously, and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? If you do this, I will look stupid!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at this cousin with a smile.
Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said, "Wufu, just go and pay attention to the war on the border."
Zhu Shangbing became more and more angry and hummed: "Then will anyone be tricked?"
……
"Someone will definitely fall for it!"
Xiaoling, in front of the mausoleum of Empress Xiaoci, Zhu Di affirmatively stated it to Zhu Kuan next to him who had asked the question before.
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the old man who was sitting cross-legged in front of the stone tablet of the Queen Mother.
Zhu Yuanzhang crossed his legs and sat in front of Queen Ma's stone tablet. He could reach out and touch the lines of handwriting carved by the most skilled craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. There were infatuation and memories between his eyebrows.<

With a sigh, Zhu Yuanzhang turned back and looked at the more than 20 sons behind him.
