Just when Zhu Ying was about to go to Prince Yan's Mansion to think of something to do.
The entrance of the teahouse,
Zhu Gaochi came in with several guards.
In fact, Zhu Gaochi had arrived a long time ago, and when he arrived, he happened to see Liu He coming.
So I kept waiting in a small restaurant nearby.
As the grandson of the emperor, of course he knew the eunuch beside the emperor's grandfather.
Being able to ask the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies to come out of the palace in person was naturally based on the imperial grandfather's order.
I'm afraid it's not a good thing to get involved at this time.
After seeing Liu He and others leaving, Zhu Gaochi turned around and came in.
Good guy, I really said Cao Cao will be there when he comes.
Zhu Ying was still preparing in her mind how to go to Prince Yan's Mansion, when she turned around, Zhu Gaochi appeared.
After some polite exchanges, Zhu Ying invited Zhu Gaochi to the second floor for a detailed discussion.
"Brother Ying, the method you taught me last time was really good. I followed the method you gave me and showed it to Grandpa Huang. He was very impressed."
"Now Grandpa Huang has given me an edict, allowing me to pass through the War Bureau and the Gunpowder Department tomorrow."
"Let's set out together early tomorrow morning."
Zhu Gaochi said excitedly.
Obtaining permission is one aspect, but the most important thing is that Grandpa Huang seems to attach more importance to it.
His father, Zhu Di, did not want to canonize himself as the crown prince.
Zhu Gaochi also heard about it.
He knew that he had no advantage at all compared to his second brother who was capable of both literary and martial arts.
The only way out is at Grandpa Huang's place.
There are some things that, as a member of the royal family, even if he is only a teenager, he is very clear in his heart.
It seems that there is no fight, but in fact we must fight.
Grandpa Huang is not happy with his second brother, so this is his opportunity.
So now he is very grateful to Zhu Ying.
As for some of his father's thoughts or plans, he didn't know and didn't want to know.
Zhu Ying felt a little bitter when she heard Zhu Gaochi's words.
Finally, we were looking forward to the military battle, but unexpectedly we encountered the matter of going to Xiaoling to deliver sacrifices.
Zhu Ying said with some regret: "This is a bit unfortunate. Just now the eunuch from the palace came to notify us and placed a large number of breakfast orders at the teahouse."
"It will be used to offer sacrifices to Xiaoling, His Royal Highness. I will also prepare some for the princes and grandsons of Ouchi to taste."
From the perspective of the common people and even nobles, early business can earn a lot of money.
But Zhu Ying's mind was not on this at all.
He followed Zhu Di to the capital, first of all to see the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The most important thing is the firearm.
The general process of firearm making, or the residence and situation of some firearms craftsmen.
Unexpectedly, I would be tricked by a teahouse now.
You should know that we didn’t start this teahouse in the first place and started some other business.
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, an undetectable color flashed across his face.
In the name of offering sacrifices, Zhu Ying was asked to go to Xiaoling to participate in the sacrifices.
It was Liu He who came to inform.
This is clearly what Grandpa Huang meant.
I remembered that I told Grandpa Huang the name of the teahouse owner Zhu Ying.
Grandpa Huang didn’t seem to have much reaction at the time.
Zhu Gaochi had been studying in the palace since he was a child and knew the emperor's temperament well.
Grandpa Huang has always attached great importance to talents and cannot be so calm.
This is enough to show that Zhu Ying and Grandpa Huang have met each other a long time ago.
even......
Is there any connection between this and my father?
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but think a little.
Seeing Zhu Gaochi's thoughtful expression, Zhu Ying understood in her heart that it seemed that someone was secretly involved in the sacrifice.
"I also ask the eldest prince to tell me who it is that wants to use the hands of the priest to secretly murder me."
Zhu Ying didn't hesitate, stood up, bowed with fists, and said directly.
Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses and was a little confused when he heard Zhu Ying's words.
"Brother Ying, what do you mean by this? Who wants to kill you?"
Zhu Ying frowned slightly. Could it be that even Zhu Gaochi didn't want to participate? How powerful is this secret person?
After thinking about it carefully, I thought it was impossible.
Zhu Gaochi may seem ordinary, but in fact, in terms of the entire Ming Dynasty, he is already a figure at the top of the pyramid.
There can't be anyone else to fear.
For example, King Zhu Di of Yan was one of the strong contenders for the throne.
The only person he fears is his current Majesty, Zhu Yuanzhang.
If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill himself, why bother?
The temperament described in later generations, for an insignificant businessman like himself, a decree directly sentenced him to death, and there was no trouble at all.
No one cares or cares.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ying directly told Zhu Gaochi what was in her heart.
After hearing Zhu Ying's explanation, Zhu Gaochi understood.
It was Zhu Ying who thought too much.
After thinking about it, he explained: "Brother Ying, don't worry, this is absolutely impossible. Xiaoling is such a place, how could anyone want to use this to harm you."
"Even if someone really wants to harm you, it can't be in a place like Xiaoling."
"If anything happens in Xiaoling, Grandpa Huang will investigate it strictly."
After hearing this explanation, Zhu Ying felt slightly relieved, but she thought of Liu He's demeanor and movements.
Still have some doubts.
Could it be that I am just overthinking it?
Ever since I came to Daming, ten years ago.
He has always lived cautiously.
This is especially true during the period when the power was first established.
Almost every day I struggle on the edge of life and death.
Although there were some foundations later, places such as the Ming Dynasty border areas, especially from the Western Regions to the deserts and grasslands.
There are so many jackals, tigers and leopards.
If you are not careful, you will be in an abyss, managing such a wide territory with such a huge span.
There are not too many things to think about, research and manage.
That's why I developed such a vigilant, suspicious and suspicious temperament.
"In this case, according to the eldest prince's opinion, I just need to send the sacrifices as usual." Zhu Ying said.
Zhu Gaochi nodded and replied: "That's the way it should be, but in places like Xiaoling, Brother Ying still needs to maintain some awe."
After finishing speaking, he said with some hesitation: "I don't know where Brother Ying wants to send the sacrifice to Xiaoling."
Zhu Ying shook her head and said: "I didn't say anything, but there will be a carriage coming to pick me up tomorrow morning."
Zhu Gaochi certainly didn't know anything about the emperor's grandfather asking Zhu Ying to suppress his mausoleum.
When he thought about it, eating like this was most likely for Grandma Huang.
After a slight hesitation, Zhu Gaochi said: "If I ask you to send it to Grandma Huang, you still need to be more respectful."
"That's how it should be." Zhu Ying nodded and said.
For him, no matter where he is in Xiaoling, he must be respectful so as not to find fault with others.
"It's just a pity that you can't go with me to the Gunpowder Department tomorrow." Zhu Gaochi said with some regret.
Zhu Ying nodded helplessly, feeling unhappy.
"When the eldest prince sees it, come back and talk to me," Zhu Ying said.
Zhu Gaochi nodded in agreement.
...
Daming Palace, in Huagai Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang let out a light sigh, as if he suddenly remembered something.
He told Liu He: "Inform your grandson Gao Chi that he will not have to go to the war station tomorrow. It will be changed to the day after tomorrow."
"I just told the Gunpowder Department that they need to make arrangements in advance to prevent accidents."
