With the news that Sun Cheng had brought Jin Yiwei to find him, Zhu Yunxi finally ended the awkward atmosphere between him and Xu Huizu.
Standing in the corridor and watching Xu Huizu lead Xu Zhuxu out of Yougu Courtyard and lead a group of armored soldiers outside to leave at a distance, Zhu Yunxi finally let out a sigh of relief, and a layer of cold sweat finally broke out on his forehead.
.
He is actually preparing to use force against himself!
Zhu Yunxi looked a little confused when he thought about the soldiers waiting for Xu Huizu outside the Yougu Courtyard, and then an idea struck him.
I wonder what she would choose if she really took action?
Snap!
Zhu Yunxi reached out and patted his face gently.
Sun Cheng looked at Taisun slapping him in the face with a puzzled expression. He turned his head and looked at Tian Mai beside him, hoping that the other party could explain to him the reason.
Tian Mai just glanced at Sun Cheng, and then looked at Zhu Yunxi: "Your Highness, something is not right. It's better to come in and let the two subordinates report."
Zhu Yunxi nodded, suppressing the matter between himself and Xu Miaojin, his aunt who was different in generations, and turned around and walked into the house again.
"The news has been verified by both the Jinyi Guards and the Secret Guards, and it is correct."
Inside the house, after locking the door, Tian Mai reported with a gloomy face: "The rumor did spread from the city early this morning. Now most of the people around Yingtian City already know about it. If it is not controlled, it may spread with the merchants who leave the city.
Farther."
Sun Cheng finally returned to his professionalism at this time, and said with a stern face: "After Jin Yiwei heard the news, they have secretly investigated the source of the rumors in the city, but there seems to be a fog, and Jin Yiwei has been unable to trace where the source came from.
.But what is certain is that the rumor was born in the city that night after His Highness wrote about the various ministries and departments of the imperial court yesterday."
After the two of them finished speaking, they both looked at Zhu Yunxi, waiting for the emperor's grandson's decision and instructions.
Everything is weird.
This made Zhu Yunxi unable to make a decision for a while. He frowned and kept trying to find out who was spreading the rumors behind his back.
It’s just that the more you peel away the cocoon, the more the whole thing becomes a mess.
Zhu Yunxi was silent for a long time, and Sun Cheng and Tian Mai could only stand aside and dare not make a sound.
I don’t know when.
There was another knock on the door outside the house.
The voice is very urgent.
This caused Zhu Yunxi and the three people in the room to all raise their heads and look over.
Tian Mai glanced at it, silently pressed his palm on the handle of the knife on his waist, walked behind the door, pulled out the latch, and slowly opened the door.
The people outside the house seemed to have been staring at the door. When they saw the door being opened, they immediately pushed it hard from the outside.
"Brother Xi, things are going bad, someone wants to kill you!"
Zhu Shangbing's loud voice penetrated directly into the house from outside.
He rushed in at the lead, almost causing Tian Mai, who was standing behind the door, to fall down accidentally.
Behind Zhu Shangbing, Zhu Gaochi walked in with a frown.
"Please close the door."
After entering the room, Zhu Gaochi did not forget to look back at Tian Mai and gave a warning.
Then, he walked up to Zhu Yunxi.
"You already know about the rumors?"
Zhu Gaochi asked, took the teacup handed over by Zhu Shangbing, and looked over Zhu Yunxi at Sun Cheng.
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "I already know it, but I still can't figure out who is behind it."
Zhu Shangbing probably came from the palace in a hurry. He kept drinking water. When he was full, he licked his lips and said: "This is not easy. I will make a list of all those who may be against Brother Xi. I will
We will knock on the door of every house with the officers and soldiers. If anyone hears the sound and shows off their feet, we will arrest them."
He is quite quick-witted, and he also knows how to knock the mountain to shake the tiger.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at it silently, but shook his head: "The most important thing is to figure out their purpose now."
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he smiled and nodded
Said: "I think so too. Only by first figuring out what they want can we figure out who is behind it."
As long as one thing required turning around and thinking, Zhu Shangbing ignored it and sat aside playing with the teacup.
Zhu Yunxi said: "On the surface, they want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, and use it to lure the people to pursue profits, give up their original jobs, and look for those things. In this way, the summer harvest double grab may change, and the place will be destroyed.
There will be chaos, and the tax revenue that the court has finally increased in the past two years will inevitably fluctuate."
"They are not ordinary people." Zhu Gaochi suddenly spoke, and then said in a deep voice: "Since the news spread so fast, it cannot be just to cause chaos in the court and the local area."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Yunxi blankly.
Zhu Yunxi and Xiaopang looked at each other, their eyes gradually darkened, and they said quietly: "They even want to take the opportunity to criticize me."
Zhu Gaochi hummed twice: "The grandson of the emperor who oversaw the country at that time was fond of exotic objects and musical skills, drove the people away for profit, and destabilized the country. These people behind the scenes will have the opportunity to attack you for being unworthy of the country."
"They want to rebel!"
Zhu Shangbing on the side shouted coldly, with a murderous look on his face.
Zhu Yunxi sighed and said solemnly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Zhu Gaochi said softly, with a puzzled look on his face.
"They have a grand plan." Zhu Yunxi sighed with emotion, then lowered his voice and asked worriedly: "Their purpose is just to stop me from doing something wrong?"
This is very cryptic.
Zhu Gaochi raised his eyebrows, then his heart beat wildly and his face became more and more nervous.
"They want it!"
Zhu Gaochi gasped and opened his mouth wide.
Zhu Yunxi immediately waved his hand to stop the little fat man from talking, and then nodded heavily.
Emperor Hongwu is already old.
The prince also has trouble with his legs and feet now.
If Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the emperor who oversees the Ming Dynasty, is taken away because of today's incident, the Ming Dynasty will not be the one who will be most affected.
There is no more imperial grandson, but there are still a large number of clan heirs in the Ming Dynasty.
But who doesn't know that Zhu Yunxi is the candidate who the emperor and the prince value most and have high hopes for.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This is a symbol determined by the three generations of the Ming Dynasty.
What would the emperor and the prince think around Zhu Yunxi, and what changes would happen when things decided for three generations were shattered?
When people are old and weak, they are prone to accidents.
Zhu Gaochi said worriedly: "Then what should we do about this matter now?"
After finishing speaking, Prince Yan, who was now much thinner, continued his own words and said: "I think we should once again write about the various ministries and yamen, write about the place, and reward a hundred taels for every thing found."
Zhu Yunxi looked at Xiaopang.
This is almost the same as what I thought.
That is to directly write a document to the court to completely clarify the amount of the reward for finding the object.
No more than one hundred taels, no less. People who are restricted by household registration will not be allowed to leave their own fields for the reward of one hundred taels, and have to go looking for things despite being raided by the government.
But it can also give groups like merchants an idea that they might encounter these things sometime.
"Let's do it this way."
Zhu Yunxi sighed softly.
When I returned to Beijing, I originally just wanted to be safe and do things in a down-to-earth manner, but I didn't expect that there would always be people who were restless.
Do they think the court has not punished enough people who have been beheaded in the past two years?
Zhu Gaochi also sighed: "What are you going to do next?"
The other party has already taken action, and Zhu Gaochi knows very well that with Brother Xi's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate these people continuing to hide in the dark.
Since he followed his father and his mother back to Yingtian City, and was taken to Jiaozhi Road by Brother Bing, he has gained a lot.
And the most important thing is that he more or less understood Brother Xi's philosophy of governing the country.
Zhu
Gao Chi clearly remembered that on the boat back to Beijing, Brother Xi personally told him that in the future, he wanted everyone in the Ming Dynasty to have a full stomach and never have a stable home again.
This is Brother Xi’s dream, but Zhu Gaochi has to admit that this is also his dream.
And having the experience of Qinghua City on Jiaozhi Road, Zhu Gaochi firmly believed that Brother Xi had not lied to him.
Therefore, Ming Dynasty still has a long way to go.
It is absolutely impossible for Brother Hei to allow it. When walking on the road, you must always be on guard against the black hands that may appear behind you at any time.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Sun Cheng and Tian Mai as Zhu Gaochi expected.
"The Jin Yiwei and the secret guards, one in the dark and one in the light, closely monitor Yingtian City."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi said to Zhu Gaochi: "Since we are going to write to the imperial court again, those people will definitely receive the news, and it will depend on how they deal with it."
……
The remaining days.
The rumors that had just arisen in Ying Tiancheng were shattered because of another official announcement from the imperial court.
For a moment, Ying Tian seemed to finally calm down.
But secretly, the Jinyi Guards and Secret Guards are doing their best to strictly control and guard against suspicious people in the city.
On the other hand, Zhu Yunxi, the protagonist of the incident and the target of the conspiracy, seemed content and content.
Outside the palace, Xia Yuanji is still as busy as a dog.
Xie Jin finally ushered in his new career.
The general surveyed the official roads and post roads in Zhili and the rural affairs, and the general supervised the cement work.
Craftsman Zhang, who was born in the eighth grade, worked every day with the talented scholar of the Ming Dynasty, Hanlin Jie.
Roads in Zhili need to be improved.
The current tax center of the Ming Dynasty is in Zhili, south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River, accounting for almost 30% of the world's tax revenue.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhili has the most merchants and the most freight.
Communicate with local areas, speed up freight transportation, use Guandaoyi Road as the backbone, radiate to all directions, and integrate the entire Zhili. Just like the original use of Zhejiang Road as a pilot project for tenants to enter acres.
The firing of cement has naturally become a top priority.
To the west of Yingtian City, near Taiping Mansion, construction of cement workshops has begun.
As a result, Xie Jin disappeared from Yingtian City.
And in Yingtian City.
The spring feast that Concubine Hui had been looking forward to for a long time finally started and ended successfully.
During this period, the noble children of the Ming Dynasty took advantage of a spring appreciation banquet, and Concubine Hui served as a matchmaker, and they became several couples in one day.
"My Lady said that Marquis Jingchuan fought bravely on the Jiaozhi Road last year. The third son of his family has not been married in these years. Now he can be married to a girl from Dongguan's uncle's family. It is considered a success."
In the small garden of the East Palace, Tang Queqing was chanting softly.
Zhu Yunxi leaned on the soft chair nearby and let Mu Caiyun stuff seasonal fruits into his mouth.
Tang Queqing added: "The empress also said that the Miaojin Lady of the Zhongshan Prince's Palace can be regarded as a model for women in the capital. We should go to Xiaoling to pay homage when we have time and pray for the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yunxi, who was enjoying the service of Mu Yatou, was suddenly stunned.
Then he glanced cautiously at Tang Queqing, who suddenly blushed for some reason.
What do you know and then get angry?
Zhu Yunxi felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Tang Queqing suddenly glanced at Mu Caiyun, who was still ignorant and wanted to pry open his grandson's mouth, and then lowered his head shyly.
"The queen said she would choose an auspicious day for us to get married this year..."
Phew...
Zhu Yunxi secretly let out a sigh of relief and felt calm.
Then he laughed out loud, turned around and grabbed Mu Caiyun's hand, opened his mouth, put the fruit and his smooth fingers in his mouth, and after licking it around, he let go of Mu Caiyun, who was already shy and misty-eyed.
Caiyun.
"Grandpa also hinted when I returned to Beijing." After saying this to Tang Queqing, Zhu Yunxi turned around to look
Looking at Mu Caiyun who was squatting on the ground with his head lowered, he patted the girl's little head: "At this time, my father had already given birth to his eldest brother with his mother-in-law. It is understandable that grandpa is anxious now. Concubine Hui and several others
My empress, I have been complaining about the lack of noise from the children in the palace all day long."
Tang Queqing blushed, lowered his head, nodded, and said yes.
Zhu Yunxi added: "After we get married, let's try to work harder so that grandpa and the ladies can't hold him with both hands!"
Tang Queqing's heart suddenly jumped, and he raised his head and glared at Zhu Yunxi, who was not stingy, and then lowered his head with a blushing face.
On the other hand, Mu Yatou raised her head and said nonchalantly: "Then we have to give birth to a dozen..."
Tang Que suddenly raised his head and stared at Mu Caiyun with wide eyes, who said he was going to have more than a dozen children, with a look of surprise and helplessness on his face.
This girl doesn't understand anything.
Zhu Yunxi burst out laughing.
She couldn't help but stretched out her hands, one on the left and the other on the right, to support Mu Caiyun's cheeks.
Then use both hands hard.
Wave.
Mu Caiyun's cheeks were squeezed together, her pink lips were pressed together, and her bright and bright eyes were blinking, sparkling.
"Your Highness, Sun Qianhu is here."
Tang Queqing on the side looked at Sun Cheng who was arriving not far away and reminded him softly.
Zhu Yunxi turned around and saw Sun Cheng wearing Qianhu Feiyu uniform today, standing at the door of the small garden.
Let go of Mu Caiyun's face and pat the girl's head.
Zhu Yunxi glared at the girl: "When the south becomes more stable, let your brother stay in Yunnan, and the imperial court will recall the Marquis of Xiping to Yingtian."
Dad is going to be recalled to Yingtian.
Mu Caiyun's eyes lit up and she immediately nodded crisply.
Zhu Yunxi had already stood up and walked towards Sun Cheng.
"What happened?"
Sun Cheng bowed and clasped his hands: "This is to inform Third Master, Mr. Xia asked someone to pass on the message, saying that he would like to invite Third Master to go to the Ministry of Finance."
"Going to the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Zhu Yunxi asked doubtfully: "Isn't he going to the Huagai Hall to accompany the counselor to the government today?"
This is a question and answer for oneself, and Sun Cheng cannot give an answer.
Zhu Yunxi didn't expect to get an answer, so he waved his hand: "Go to the Ministry of Finance."
In Yingtian City in spring, wisps of thin petals are always flying in the sky, and the air is warm.
Xia Yuanji, who is now a doctor in the household department, is easy to find.
His official position is right next to the official position of the Minister and the Assistant Minister. From this, it can be seen that he has become the highest-status person in the Ministry of Household Affairs besides the Official Secretary and the Assistant Minister.
Of course, there is no minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs now, and there is only one minister, Yu Xin, who does not work very much.
Walk from outside the Yamen to the outside of Xia Yuanji's mansion.
Zhu Yunxi heard a burst of chirping sounds coming from the public house.
"Xia Langzhong, I heard that the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is very young. Will he not come?"
"Mr. Xia, I wonder if we can discuss our business with Daming again."
These are a few different voices that emphasize something different, half foreign and half earthy, like uncooked rice.
Then there was the sound of a cup lid brushing against a tea cup.
Then Xia Yuanji's calm voice came out: "The emperor's grandson must be lenient and treat everyone equally. As long as you abide by the etiquette and not overstep in the slightest, my grandson is still very easy to talk to."
"Yes, yes, the emperor's grandson is naturally the most talkative."
Creak.
The door of the public house was pushed open by Zhu Yunxi from the outside.
Xia Yuanji, who was sitting on the main seat holding a tea cup, immediately frowned and stood up: "I am walking in the Wenhua Palace, and Xia Yuanji, a doctor in the household department, meets His Highness Taisun."
Zhu Yunxi snorted and glanced at the foreigners and foreigners with colorful heads in the mansion.
But as soon as he looked at a few people, those heads suddenly disappeared from his eyes.
"Foreign businessmen visit His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun of the Ming Dynasty."
"May His Royal Highness the Grandson be blessed with good fortune and good health."
The sound came from the ground.
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head slightly and saw that these Yi merchants were already kneeling on the ground, their postures as submissive as possible.
Isn’t it said that white-skinned foreigners have hard knees?
How come you can kneel down now?
Zhu Yunxi hummed in his heart, but did not speak. Instead, he nodded calmly, found an empty seat beside him, waved his robe, slowly sat down, opened his arms and put them on the armrests, and slowly leaned on the back of the chair. It was because the foreign devils were looking for themselves that they found Xia Yuanji.
Zhu Yunxi silently looked at these Yi merchants kneeling on the ground, thinking in his heart.
Then he looked at Xia Yuanji blankly.
Xia Yuanji hurriedly walked out from behind the table: "Your Highness, all the barbarian merchants came to the Ministry of Revenue today and said that they have something important that they hope to report in front of Your Highness. They said that they have something that the imperial court is currently offering a reward for." "Oh?" Zhu Yunxi looked suspicious, his posture was calm and unwavering, he just looked blankly at the barbarians who were still kneeling on the ground.
The new things in the Central Plains were brought over by these people and their descendants.
They said they had something to offer as a reward, and they were probably right.
However, the posture still needs to be shown.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi said calmly: "You all have come from afar. Since you want to donate the rewards offered by the Ming Dynasty, it is a meritorious service. Let's all do it."
Xia Yuanji immediately smiled at Yi Shang and said, "His Highness wants you all to stand up."
Several barbarian merchants immediately stood up.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi could also observe these people carefully.
A very typical white-skinned foreign devil.
The deep-set eye sockets, the tall bridge of the nose, the red and green hair, the colorful eyeballs, and the faint body odor.
Zhu Yunxi took the tea sent by Xia Yuanji, took a sip of the matcha soup, and then asked these barbarian merchants: "I don't know what kind of reward these distinguished people have to offer."
