She knew Erlang's past identity, and she also knew the identity of the man in front of her now.
She couldn't understand how these two people could sit together and talk in such a harmonious atmosphere.
Zhu Yunxi just glanced at the box that was held down by Gao Yangzhi. It contained many people's secrets, including money that could have made Zhu Yunxi live a better life.
But he did not move, nor did he have the idea of creating trouble again.
"The coffin of Duke Xin Guo Tang He will be sent to Yingtian Zhongshan in a few days, and will be buried in the Meritorious Mausoleum." Zhu Yunxi changed the topic and explained calmly.
Zhu Yunwen nodded: "This move will win people's hearts, which is unexpected."
Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yunwen: "But those people never thought that they would not be able to win over you."
"They are just casting a wide net. I am a useless person and dispensable. Even in the eyes of these people, I am not as valuable as an eunuch in this imperial city."
Zhu Yunwen shook his head as if mocking himself, lowered his head and held the wine glass.
Qiu Niang, who was beside him, showed tenderness and pity in her eyes. She gently hugged Zhu Yunwen's arm with her hands and pressed her face against his shoulder.
“Drink together!”
Zhu Yunxi raised his glass, looked at Zhu Yunwen, and drank all the wine in his glass.
"The world is so big that dirt can hide in any place." Zhu Yunwen watched Zhu Yunxi drink the wine in the cup with a slight smile on his face, just as he drank the wine in the cup, and continued:
"What the imperial court has done in the past two years has suppressed so many people. It is inevitable that these people will always have anger in their hearts.
And now that the imperial court is implementing new policies, it will inevitably touch the interests of some people, and these people will definitely be dissatisfied. When these people come together and express their opposition to the imperial decree, they will naturally follow the trend.
They can intervene in Zhongdu Imperial City and send these things to me, but what about other places?"
Zhu Yunwen left a very subtle question at the end.
Afterwards, he held the wine glass and carefully tasted the meals in Zhongdu Imperial City. From time to time, he whispered to Qiuniang next to him to soothe this woman's sensitive and nervous heart.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but frown.
Where there are people there will be conflicts.
One monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink.
In the final analysis, it is because of distribution.
The New Deal will touch the existing interests of many people. These people may be afraid of the court's strict laws and murderous soldiers, but in the hearts of these people, there will be a fire of dissatisfaction with the court burning.
He took another look at the box that was still held under his hand by Gao Yangzhi, and suddenly wanted to find out who was hiding in the box.
Gao Yangzhi's eyes dropped, silently staring at the crippled man opposite.
He was a little unsure whether he was taking out this thing today because he wanted to serve the imperial court, or if he was trying to confuse the emperor's grandson's mind.
This was a strong candidate who was expected to compete for the position of grandson of the Ming Emperor a few years ago.
Gao Yangzhi couldn't help but feel a little more cautious.
Bai Yuxiu, who was beside him, kept looking outside the hospital.
A purge is about to take place in the Imperial City of Zhongdu.
Today, I don’t know how many people will fall in a pool of blood.
"The four of us will each lead our own troops and seal off all sides of the Imperial City of Zhongdu. We will investigate them one by one from the outside in. If there is anything suspicious, we will kill them without mercy!"
Sun Cheng, the most powerful person present, spoke with a gloomy look.
In front of him, Tian Mai, Ma Hongqing, and Niu Dafu also nodded with calm expressions.
Sun Cheng is the governor of Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town, and it is his duty to track down the colluders inside and outside the imperial city of Zhongdu.
Strictly speaking, if there is such a thing like slaves colluding with outsiders in Zhongdu Imperial City, he, the Jinyi Guards, is guilty of negligence.
Tian Mai said: "The thread given by the crippled person will be pulled out and spread to the surrounding areas. The people in this circle will not be able to get rid of it!"
Ma Hongqing nodded: "Let's do it! Our people have been transferred here, and we have also called in soldiers and horses from the Left Behind Department to block the outside."
bass.
Among the four, only Niu Dafu was a newcomer. He did not speak during the whole process. He just drew out the sword from his waist, held the blade under his arm and slashed across it, looking around with murderous intent in his eyes.
The entire Imperial City of Zhongdu was suddenly blocked and restricted, which made everyone inside and outside the palace feel panicked and uneasy.
Bang!
There was a loud noise.
A door in the imperial city was kicked open heavily by the Jin Yiwei.
"Issuing an order to investigate the spies and villains."
A small flag officer of the Jin Yiwei shouted outside the door, and then led the people into the house with a knife.
Not giving the people in the house a chance to cry out, they heard the sound of knives and screams coming from inside the house, followed by the faint smell of blood.
Wait until the Jin Yiwei walk out of the house again.
Outside the house, the servants of Zhongdu Imperial City, who had been confirmed to be fine, walked into the house fearfully and with hands and feet.
After a while, these chamberlains came out carrying corpses one after another, and placed the blood-covered corpses neatly on the ground.
Outside the imperial city, various government offices moved upon hearing the news, and every family in Huaiyou also sent people to wait for the news.
Because troops and horses were mobilized from the left-behind department, their people were the first to arrive.
Feng Yunsong, the left-behind guard of the Zhongdu Remaining Department, put on his own armor for the rare occasion, with a knife on his waist, and looked anxiously at the imperial city where the palace gates were closed.
He was left behind in Zhongdu, and all the peace and tranquility of Zhongdu rested on his shoulders.
Chaos broke out in the imperial city, which even affected his black hat.
Qiu Fengzhen, the prefect of Fengyang Prefecture, hurriedly led the people from the prefect's Yamen to the palace gate. From a distance, he saw Feng Yunsong wandering outside the palace.
He immediately left everyone behind and stepped forward quickly.
"Lao Feng!"
"Lao Feng!"
Qiu Fengzhen opened her mouth and shouted twice. Feng Yunsong stopped, frowned and looked back at the Magistrate Fengyang who was running over.
"What happened inside? Why are the soldiers and horses of your left-behind department still blocking the outside? Don't you, Feng Yunsong, know that His Highness the Grand Sun is still inside? What do you, Feng Yunsong, want to do!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qiu Fengzhen came up and scolded Feng Yunsong angrily.
However, his eyes kept looking around.
Feng Yunsong's face was gloomy. When Qiu Fengzhen finished cursing, he snorted coldly: "Prefect Qiu is really loyal to the emperor and protects the country! Why don't I, old Feng, send you in to see what happened?"
Qiu Fengzhen's face suddenly darkened and she shook her head repeatedly: "This important place in the imperial city is not a place where we can enter without permission... Lao Feng, can you tell me what is going on?"
He really didn't know what was going on.
All I know is that His Highness the Emperor Taisun is currently in the Imperial City of Zhongdu, and that the crippled man is also in the Imperial City.
"Could it be!"
Qiu Fengzhen trembled all over and couldn't help but let out a low cry. Then she looked up at Feng Yunsong with frightened eyes: "His Royal Highness, you want to..."
As she spoke, Qiu Fengzhen stretched out her palm and scratched her neck twice.
Feng Yunsong rolled his eyes immediately.
Seeing Feng Yunsong's reaction, Qiu Fengzhen knew that she had thought wrong, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Then tell me! What happened?"
Feng Yunsong was a little helpless, but he still had to take care of the prefect's Yamen's face: "Zhongdu Imperial City, you and I must abide by the rules, but some people don't abide by the rules."
Feng Yunsong couldn't speak more clearly.
No matter how much you say, people will still die outside the palace today.
Qiu Fengzhen's shoulders trembled again, her eyes nervously looked at the majestic imperial city wall, and she couldn't help but shook her head: "They all die! They all deserve to die!"
"Whether you deserve to die or not, you are going to die today."
Feng Yunsong said lightly and took off the sword from his waist.
Under Qiu Fengzhen's nervous and suspicious eyes, Feng Yunsong just put the knife on the ground, pressed his hands on the handle of the knife, and stared at the closed palace door quietly.
"Can't go in?"
Qiu Fengzhen looked around at the people from various Huaiyou families who had shown their faces, and asked quietly behind Feng Yunsong.
"The prefect really wants to collect the bodies for others?"
Qiu Fengzhen's eyes narrowed and she shook her head repeatedly: "I don't want to!"
He really doesn't want to.
This time it was going well, but something big happened when the emperor's grandson returned to the capital. Before everyone in the magistrate's office could put in their efforts, something happened in the imperial city.
Now Qiu Fengzhen only wants that everyone who deserves to die in Zhongdu Imperial City must die, and those who don't deserve to die must not die.
If one person dies by mistake, God knows what will happen.
…
"Maybe people outside are worried about whether I will kill you."
In the small courtyard, the banquet is still going on.
Zhu Yunxi tasted the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed rice, took a bite of the sauced meat, smiled and said something to Zhu Yunqi who was whispering to Qiuniang.
At some point, Qiuniang, who had shrunk in Zhu Yunwen's arms, blushed and lowered her head, pushing Zhu Yunwen away.
He quickly raised his head again and looked at Zhu Yunxi who said he wanted to kill someone.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, second brother will live a long life."
Qiuniang blinked, as if she wanted to confirm whether Zhu Yunxi's words were true.
Zhu Yunwen felt helpless, covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly.
Only then did Qiuniang react, her face flushed again, she turned around with a bit of shyness, and hid in the house.
"Second sister-in-law is a good woman. Second brother, please don't let her down."
Zhu Yunxi looked at the door that was tightly closed, and looked sideways at Zhu Yunwen and teased him.
This guy is even more annoying than before!
Zhu Yunwen cursed in his heart and said calmly: "Everyone in Zhongdu is praying that I don't die on their watch. As for the others..."
He suddenly seemed to remember something, and chuckled softly: "My Qiuniang, on the other hand, scolds me all day long, why don't you just die?"
As soon as he said this.
Gao Yangzhi and Bai Yuxiu both rolled their eyes.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help laughing and said: "Second brother, you should work harder. There are too many clothes prepared for Wen Sheng and Poria in the palace. I will ask someone to sort them out later and send them all over."
"What?"
Zhu Yunwen asked subconsciously, then opened his mouth and blinked silently.
Wait until his face turns red like Qiuniang.
Zhu Yunxi smiled again and said: "Brother Chi will get married soon, and brother Bing will get married soon. All the brothers in our family are going to get married and start a business.
After you have a family and a career, it’s time to think about procreating heirs. No matter what happens in the world, this matter is the top priority."
Zhu Yunwen stood up.
Under Zhu Yunxi's puzzled gaze, he walked straight to the side room.
After a ding-dong-ding-dong sound, Zhu Yunwen was seen walking out with dust on his face and hair. In his hands, he was holding two things.
After returning to the pavilion, Zhu Yunwen put the thing in his palm in front of Zhu Yunxi.
"The little thing I made before was originally intended to be kept like this forever, so it is appropriate to give it to you now."
Zhu Yunxi smiled silently for a moment.
I saw Zhu Yunwen taking out two wooden toys that were obviously made for children from the hut.
Both wood carvings are polished and polished.
One is a pony with movable hooves, and the other is a kingfisher with trembling wings.
Such an obvious choice.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but look up at Zhu Yunwen who started drinking again.
"I would like to thank my second brother."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand casually: "It's just a practice in my spare time, it's nothing."
"Second brother, do you really want nothing?"
"If you drink this wine every day, it will delay things."
"In this way... I left alone."
"The common people respectfully send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
…
"He really just wants to live a peaceful life as an ordinary person now."
After leaving the small courtyard of the crippled man, Zhu Yunxi whispered with a gloomy face.
It was just a sound, but it still reached the ears of Gao Yangzhi and Bai Yuxiu.
The two looked at each other, and the gloomy expression on the emperor's grandson's face was obviously not because the cripple wanted to live a peaceful life.
Sure enough, before the two of them could speak, Zhu Yunxi had already spoken the next moment.
"Under such circumstances, those people still want to take advantage of him. He deserves to be damned!"
Zhu Yunxi held two wooden sculptures in his hands, feeling a little more angry in his heart.
Gao Yangzhi coughed lightly, looked at the Jinyi Guards and the Yulin Guards who were moving quickly in the distance, and said in a low voice: "Because of this, the imperial court should continue to implement the New Deal. Only in this way can it be completely
Push those people down!"
Zhu Yunxi stopped and looked at the wooden box dragged behind by Bai Yuxiu, frowning.
"Send an order to the Duke of Liang and the Marquis of Xiping to get ready."
Gao Yangzhi raised his eyebrows.
Many people throughout the court may have forgotten that Duke Liang and Marquis Xiping are still leading tens of thousands of Beijing troops to wander outside the capital.
Gao Yangzhi bowed slightly and nodded: "I accept your order."
…
In the small courtyard.
The building was empty after people left, except for a few chirping sounds from the chickens and ducks in the cages.
Zhu Yunwen just sat quietly in the pavilion, moving his chopsticks from time to time to eat the dishes that were basically untouched.
Qiuniang had already walked out of the house again.
When she arrived in front of Zhu Yunwen, she put her hands on her knees, dragged her chin, and looked at the man in front of her quietly.
"Erlang..."
Zhu Yunwen put down the chopsticks in his hands and looked back at the woman who accompanied him day and night in Fengyang, Zhongdu.
There was more tenderness on his face.
"Don't worry, our lives will get better and better in the future."
