Chapter 6 Because he is my grandson Jiang Tianxing, Emperor Huiwu of Daming, Princess Yunmeng
After a while, a tall and beautiful woman who looked about thirty years old came in.
The woman wears a long dress embroidered with peonies on a green background, her hair is pulled up, and she wears a gold walking stick.
She has a fair oval face, willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a tall nose, and thin rosy lips. An embroidered phoenix brocade belt is tied around her slender waist, highlighting the big red peony flower in full bloom on her tall and majestic chest.
"Meet Dad."
Jiang Yuqing saluted and said.
"Okay, please don't salute me, just sit down."
Jiang Tianxing said.
"Thank you dad."
Jiang Yuqing said, then walked to the chair and sat down.
"Dad, Zi Qian is getting more and more outrageous. He spends all day hanging out with those dudes in the Jiaofang Department and has no intention of making progress..."
Jiang Tianxing turned his face, looked at his daughter solemnly, and said, "You are not allowed to say that to him!"
Jiang Yuqing was stunned.
Because of Jiang Nan's incident, her husband Zhao Zheng was demoted from the Right Shaoqing of Dali Temple to the Chief of the Left Temple of Dali Temple. He was originally the fourth rank, but now he was reduced to the sixth rank, downgraded two levels in a row.
Then she stood up, changed her ladylike appearance, crossed her waist, raised her eyebrows, and stared angrily at her almond-shaped eyes and said: "He dragged the entire Jiang family into trouble, and even us were implicated. Can't we just say it?"
Jiang Tianxing glanced at her, ignored her "fierceness", turned around and picked up the "Military Strategy" on the table, and said, "No!"
"Why?"
Jiang Yuqing's eyes widened.
Jiang Tianxing said calmly: "Because he is my grandson, Jiang Tianxing! And you are his aunt!"
Jiang Yuqing blinked, "..."
Then, like a deflated rubber ball, he snorted coldly, turned around and walked away, his long skirt swinging back and forth as he twisted his hips.
"Be more calm these days and don't run to the palace all the time."
Jiang Tianxing didn't even raise his head and gave instructions from behind.
"If you are really free, come back and spend time with your mother from time to time."
Jiang Yuqing paused, said "Yeah", and then walked out.
…
Royal Palace.
Royal study room.
A dignified middle-aged man wearing regular clothes was sitting on a chair, crouching at his desk and correcting memorials.
Even if he doesn't speak, he still has a majesty that overwhelms the world.
It was Zhu Xuan, Emperor Huiwu of the Ming Dynasty.
After correcting the last memorial, he put down his pen and said calmly: "How is the situation?"
The voice echoed in the empty imperial study room.
There was obviously no one, but at this time there was a voice coming from the shadows of the study.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, no trace of the witch has been found in the entire Kyoto, including the thirty-six surrounding cities."
"It's impossible for her to escape in such a short period of time. Let's check again."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Well, what about Jiang Nan? What's the reaction from Jiang Tianxing?"
"Jiang Tianxing didn't do much and stayed at home. However, the Tutor took his daughter Lou Xianghan to the General's Mansion today. According to the tip, he broke off the engagement."
"Oh? What's the result?"
Zhu Xuan asked with a smile.
The voice said: "The Taifu proposed to break off the engagement on the spot. Jiang Tianxing said nothing, but Lou Xianghan rejected the Taifu's proposal in front of Jiang Tianxing. The Taifu was almost angry to death and finally walked away."
Zhu Xuan was slightly startled, "Lou Xianghan wants to make the decision himself?"
"It looks like this," the voice said.
"That would be interesting." Zhu Xuan squinted his eyes slightly and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Knowing that I demoted Jiang Nan to a commoner and made him a demon-slayer and torturer, without mentioning his martial arts qualifications, even with this status, let alone the human race's Taichu Academy, he couldn't even enter the Hongwu Academy.
, she actually wanted to marry him.
What is this little girl thinking?
Or is this just a play played by Lou Hanwen and his daughter?"
He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking.
"...I don't know," the voice said after considering it for a moment.
"Well, okay, let's not talk about him anymore, let's talk about Jiang Nan." Zhu Xuan's face showed no change in emotion.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the voice said, "Jiang Nan went to the Demon Slayer Division this morning and officially became a torturer. According to Your Majesty's wishes, he will be treated equally by everyone in the Demon Slayer Division.
However, something unexpected happened during this period.
Jiang Nan has not come up since entering the dungeon, and has not eaten lunch. She has been killing monsters down there.
According to the task, he needed to kill three first-level monsters, but in the end he killed all five monsters in Dungeon 13, overfulfilling the task.
I left the dungeon before the scheduled time, with a normal expression and strong energy and blood. After handing in the mission, I changed my clothes and left the Demon Slayer Division to return to Cuizhu Residence."
Zhu Xuan was slightly surprised when he heard this, "You mean, he has been down there since he entered the dungeon, and he has never entered the killing platform until he exceeded the task?"
"Exactly." the voice said.
"This little guy is only in the body-forging realm. He killed five demons in a row, but he still has strong energy and blood, and his expression is as usual. It's quite interesting..."
Zhu Xuan's eyes were deep and the corners of his mouth curved in an imperceptible arc.
"Forget it, there is no need to worry about this matter for the time being. According to Jiang Tianxing's nature, he may have given his precious grandson something to protect him from the evil spirit for the time being."
"Any other discoveries?"
"There have been more outsiders in the imperial city recently. Many of them look like they are doing business, but in fact many of them are powerful people. According to reports from spies, many of them are Jianghu sects and some hidden families. According to reports,
The investigation should be related to the strange phenomenon in the imperial tomb last month."
"It doesn't matter, as long as they don't mess around, they can do whatever they want, as long as they strengthen patrols." Zhu Xuan said lightly.
"In addition, several princes have been traveling frequently with several ministers recently. They are Tan Yetong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Le Heyu, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Jin Yuhuan, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue..."
Zhu Xuan was noncommittal, with no expression on his face, and said lightly: "Well, is there anything else?"
"Our people discovered the Third Prince's people in the outer city. They seemed to be monitoring Jiang Nan. We also found traces of the Third Prince in a restaurant in the inner city..."
At this moment, Zhu Xuan's expression changed and he said: "Okay, I understand, you can go down."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As the sound disappeared, the shadow also disappeared, and the entire imperial study seemed a little brighter.
At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps from outside. At the door, a drake whispered softly: "Your Majesty, Princess Yunmeng wants to see you."
A gentle smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Xuan's face, "Let her come in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The footsteps left.
Not long after, a lighter step walked towards the imperial study room and stopped at the door.
"Come in, the door is open."
Zhu Xuan said softly.
The door creaked open, and a small figure walked in carrying a brocade box.
The woman is wearing colorful clothes, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a beautiful face and big eyes, like a porcelain doll.
"Meet my father."
Yunmeng bowed and bowed.
Zhu Xuan looked at the delicate little face of his little daughter in front of him, and seemed to see her mother Yun Fei.
Back then, Concubine Yun was just like her daughter now, with a cherry-like mouth, skin as smooth as gel, and a pair of beautiful black and white eyes that were simple and clear.
It was a pity that the considerate and beautiful woman died due to dystocia, leaving him with only this well-behaved and sensible daughter.
In order to commemorate Concubine Yun, he named his daughter Princess Yunmeng and let her live in her mother's Feiyun Garden.
In the blink of an eye, Concubine Yun has been gone for fourteen years.
And this little daughter is already fourteen years old, and she has quickly grown into a grown-up girl, becoming more and more beautiful and more like her mother.
"Without courtesy, Yunmeng, come, sit down and talk."
At this time, Zhu Xuan was no longer an emperor, but more like a loving father.
"Thank you, Father."
Yunmeng's eyes widened and she said sweetly.
Then he took the brocade box over and said to Zhu Xuan: "Father, today I saw that the dragon fish in Xuanwu Lake have become fat, so I had a few fish caught and made fish soup for my father. My father has been busy with national affairs and spent a lot of money on it.
Mind, you need to replenish your body."
Open the brocade box and take out the fish soup. The milky white fish soup immediately exudes an alluring aroma. The two green coriander leaves garnished on top make the fish soup even more attractive.
He filled a bowl with a spoon himself and handed it to Zhu Xuan with both hands.
Zhu Xuan took it, took a sip, and the smile on his face became brighter, "Well, it tastes good. My son is interested."
Yunmeng was even more happy to be praised by her father, with big eyes and a pure smile on her face.
Zhu Xuan finished a bowl of fish soup and put down the bowl.
Yunmeng immediately walked up behind him and squeezed his shoulders.
The little hands were soft, a smile appeared on Zhu Xuan's face, and he closed his eyes and enjoyed it.
As an emperor, it was at this time that he had a moment to relax and enjoy the rare happiness of family.
After a while, Zhu Xuan said: "Meng'er, do you have something to tell your father?"
There is no better son than a father.
Yunmeng made fish soup and squeezed his shoulders again, something must be wrong.
Yunmeng didn't hide anything, and while squeezing Zhu Xuan's shoulders, he said: "Father, I think that the evil girl's escape must have nothing to do with brother Jiang Nan."
"Oh? What do you think about Meng'er?"
Zhu Xuan still closed his eyes and asked with a soft smile, his tone seemed to mean testing her.
Yunmeng's big eyes flashed and he said: "Father, think about it, the palace prison is heavily guarded. With the little strength that Brother Jiang Nan has now, he can't even get close, so how can he let the demon girl go? So,
Jiang Nan must be the victim."
"Well, Meng'er is right, there is indeed some doubt in this matter."
Zhu Xuan closed his eyes and nodded slightly with a smile.
Yunmeng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then, can father revoke brother Jiang Nan's crime?"
"cannot."
Zhu Xuan still smiled and said.
"Why?"
Yunmeng pursed her lips, but her hands didn't stop.
Zhu Xuan closed his eyes and enjoyed it while saying: "He was found in the prison, and the demon girl happened to be missing. Even if he didn't let her go, he is still the biggest suspect. But because there are doubts, so
My father did not kill him, nor did he accuse him of being executed, but only gave him a symbolic punishment."
Yunmeng nodded her little head and said proudly: "Well, I know that my father is a benevolent king."
Zhu Xuan smiled.
He didn't feel it when the ministers said this, but the words of his little daughter who squeezed his shoulders made him feel quite useful.
"Then Father, can you please not take back brother Jiang Nan's golden book and treasure? Brother Jiang Nan is actually a very good person."
Yunmeng said while rubbing her shoulders.
Zhu Xuan opened his eyes, stood up slowly, and said with a smile: "You, your little head has been thinking about your brother Jiang Nan all day long. Well, since you have begged for mercy, my father will give you this face.
When will he become a powerful king and come back to me to ask for the golden book and treasure?"
Yunmeng sighed slightly in his heart.
Becoming a powerful king is not easy, but it finally gives me hope.
Although she is not old, Lan Xinhui is very kind. She knows that her father has given her the greatest face.
"My son, I would like to thank my father for my brother Jiang Nan."
Yunmeng walked up from behind Zhu Xuan, and while saluting solemnly, he sighed in his heart: "Brother Jiang Nan, you have to work hard, this is all Yunmeng can win for you."
"Yes." Zhu Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "How are you doing with your homework recently?"
"Reporting back to my father, I haven't left any piano, chess, calligraphy or painting behind. My martial arts training has reached the sixth level of Kaiyuan Realm half a month ago, but I want to stabilize it for a little longer before opening up a new martial arts vein."
Yunmeng said truthfully.
Zhu Xuan nodded, with a look of approval on his face.
His little daughter is not only well-behaved and sensible, but also extremely talented in martial arts.
At the age of only fourteen, he entered the sixth level of Kaiyuan Realm. There are not many such geniuses even in the Taichu Academy, the hall of human martial arts.
In the Ming Dynasty, except for Jiang Junjian, few others could compare with him.
"Haste makes waste, stability is the right thing. Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get a bottle of nourishing pulse pills. After taking three pills, you can consider opening up new martial arts veins. In addition, I think you are particularly fond of music. The fourth floor of the library
There are some Yin Gong songs, you can check them out."
"Thank you, Father."
Yunmeng wanted to salute again, but was stopped by Zhu Xuan, who smiled and said: "Go ahead."
"My son, please retire."
Yunmeng packed up the brocade box and retreated.
Listening to the sound of Yun Meng leaving, the smile on Zhu Xuan's face gradually faded.
"Here comes someone."
An old eunuch holding a whisk came in from the door, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty."
"Let Wei Chun come and see me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The old eunuch exited and immediately went to the Demon Slayer Division.
