When Huang Zhen saw him, he quickly stopped, forced a smile on his face, and bowed his hand to him.
Xia Xun was a little strange and said tentatively: "Master Huang has something on his mind, why do you look so depressed?"
Xia Xun's question immediately brought up Huang Zhen's sadness. Huang Zhen's eyes turned red and he asked: "Master Yang, do you know about the fire in Prince Yan's Mansion?"
Xia Xun said: "Oh, I know. I was on duty at the Yamen that day. When I heard about the fire, I got up and stood in the yard to see the excitement. Oh, the fire was so intense that half of the sky turned red. Mr. Huang,
Why are you bringing this up?"
Huang Zhen's eyes were filled with mist, and he began to shed a layer of tears: "I... my house is adjacent to Prince Yan's Mansion, and it was also burned together, completely burned to the ground!"
"ah?"
Xia Xun really didn't know that Huang Zhen had moved, and couldn't help but wonder: "Master Huang, isn't your house at Sanshanmen? When did you move it to the side of Prince Yan's Mansion?"
Huang Zhen stretched out three fingers, gave Xia Xun a hard pause, and said in a painful voice: "Three days, three days before the fire broke out in Prince Yan's Mansion."
Xia Xun was silent and laughed dryly: "Everyone has misfortune and good fortune. Fortunately... I am unscathed, so don't worry too much about the things outside you!"
Huang Zhen said dejectedly: "Alas! Things in the world are unpredictable. I have already thought about it and realized it. Forget it, let's not talk about this. When I talk about this, my heart is like boiling oil.
It’s unspeakably uncomfortable! Mr. Yang, are you going to the palace?”
Xia Xun said: "Yes, the emperor summoned you. Mr. Huang came out of the palace at this time. Could it be that he was sent by the emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhen's face showed a trace of satisfaction. He cupped his fists with both hands, arched his head to the sky, and said: "Thanks to the trust of the emperor, yesterday we issued an edict to appoint 24 interview envoys to patrol the world. Among them are
Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang was originally the supervisory envoy of Hubei Province, but now he has been ordered by the emperor to serve as the interview envoy of Hubei Province. It is convenient to have two positions in one person."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xun quickly raised his hands and said, "Oh, it turns out that Mr. Huang is also one of the twenty-four angels. Congratulations. I just wonder, what did you interview when you went to Hubei this time? Could it be that the White Lotus Sect is causing trouble again?"
Huang Zhen curled his lips and said: "What is the White Lotus Sect? In the eyes of the current emperor, the scourge of religious bandits is nothing more than ringworm and scabies. It is not worth mentioning. If you want to talk about serious problems, it is still..."
Huang Zhen laughed and said: "In the heart of the emperor, the people are of course the most important. This time, the emperor wants me to patrol the world in equal parts, ask about the people's sufferings, inspect the officials, criticize integrity and denounce corruption. I just entered the palace to say goodbye, tomorrow morning
If you are about to leave, go back and pack up... Hey! Everything is burned down, there is nothing to clean up, Mr. Yang, I will not delay your entry into the palace, farewell, farewell!"
Xia Xun looked at Huang Zhen's hurriedly leaving figure thoughtfully, wondering in his heart: "What kind of interview envoys did the emperor send at this time, and there are more than twenty in one group? This matter...can't be related to the reduction of vassalage."
Bar?"

"You're here."
Seeing Xia Xun, Zhu Yunwen's face showed a rare smile.
Xia Xun leaned forward and said, "Yes, I was summoned by the emperor and came immediately to see you. I don't know what the emperor has ordered for me."
Zhu Yunwen said: "Yang Xu, Prince Yan and the two young princes will be arriving in Beijing soon. The last time King Yan went to Beijing, he was assassinated by gangsters and the palace of Prince Yan was burned down. It was very difficult for me to do this.
.I don’t want something similar to happen to the third son of Prince Yan again this time. While the third son of Prince Yan is in Beijing, their safety will be left to you, the Jinyi Guards."
Xia Xun bowed and said: "Yes, but...for such a big event, should we...call Luo Qian to come and obey the emperor's instructions?"
"I will let him know."
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, took a sip of tea, glanced at Xia Xun, and said with a half-smile: "Yang Xu, you have always had close contacts with the Prince of Zhongshan, and you get along well with the Prince of Yan. I remember that a few days ago, I went to Peking.
The investigation into the illegal activities of Jinyiwei's officials was probably your dealings with Prince Yan's Mansion. Among the people in Beijing, after much deliberation, you are the only one who can have a relationship with Prince Yan's Mansion. Naturally, I have to leave this matter to you.
.”
Xia Xun suddenly changed his expression and hurriedly leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, I do have some friendship with the Prince of Zhongshan. Therefore, it is also known to the Prince of Yan. However, I have no personal contact with the Prince of Yan, and I dare not follow it.
I have violated the law privately. My loyalty to the emperor can be learned from heaven and earth. Since I joined the Imperial Guard, I have only been worried about the emperor's worries, only been happy about the emperor's joy, and only obeyed the emperor's orders. There is no cover-up, and the idea of having an affair with Prince Yan's palace.
…”
This flattery almost made Xia Xun feel sick, but Zhu Yunwen showed a happy face, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Yang Qing, don't panic, of course I have no doubt about my loyalty to you."
Zhu Yunwen has indeed never doubted Xia Xun's loyalty. For a loyal person, this loyalty is of course loyal to the emperor, the king, the king, the minister, the father, the son. How can anyone who reads the books of sages fail to see where justice lies in the world? Zhu Yunwen has always been loyal to the emperor.
That's how I understood it, and I always thought it was natural.
Moreover, if Yang Xu is not loyal and only seeks profit, then he will not betray himself. Who would leave the orthodox emperor of the dynasty and choose the precarious King Yan? What ability does King Yan have to compete with the emperor?
As long as anyone with eyes can't see that King Yan will fall soon? Therefore, Zhu Yunwen is very relieved about Xia Xun.
He chuckled and said: "That's right. As soon as Prince Yan entered the capital, he was very suspicious of me, which aroused discussion among the government and the public. Later, he was assassinated for no apparent reason, and many people even blamed me for this.
I'm worried. If King Yan's three sons cause any trouble in the capital, wouldn't it be hard for me to defend myself?
King Yan is quite jealous of me. The three sons of King Yan are influenced by their father and are very afraid of me. If I choose some inappropriate people to protect them, if they become suspicious and avoid everything, maybe something will happen to them. So.
I just thought of you. You have some kind of friendship with Prince Yan's Mansion. If you come forward, I think you can gain their trust."
The last time King Yan was assassinated, Zhu Yunwen didn't eat fish and get all fishy. He was really a little scared. Before he could find a high-sounding reason to attack King Yan, he didn't want anything to happen to King Yan's three sons again.
Xia Xun couldn't help being surprised and happy when he heard the reason. Although he had promised King Yan to take care of the three princes secretly, he had always imagined the difficulties involved, but he did not expect that Zhu Yunwen would actually give him this job, giving him the opportunity to interact with Yan.
The Third Prince made contact openly and openly. If you think about it carefully, there are very few people in the capital who have dealt with Prince Yan's Mansion. Emperor Jianwen's choice of him was unexpected, but it was also reasonable.
Xia Xun quickly bowed and agreed: "Yes, I understand. I will live up to your majesty's trust and ensure the safety of King Yan's three sons in Beijing."
Zhu Yun nodded and said: "Very good. The Yan Palace has just been destroyed by fire and has not yet been built. I have informed Xu Huizu and asked the three sons of Yan King to temporarily live in the Zhongshan Palace. I have ordered Wu Wang, Heng Wang and Xu Wang to go to Yanzi
Ji Xiang welcomes you, please wait in the palace, and after they see the driver, accompany them to the Zhongshan Palace. During the time they are in Beijing, you must accompany them throughout the whole process, and be sure to ensure their safety, and..."
Zhu Yunwen's eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at Xia Xun. Xia Xun understood and nodded quickly: "I understand! I believe that under the power of the Emperor, all evil tricks will be uncovered!"
Zhu Yunwen smiled. He likes courtiers who are kind and considerate of my wishes.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"My younger brothers Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui have met the emperor."
"Hey, the three royal brothers have no duties in the court and do not need to be kings. Here, it is a family meeting. We only talk about family etiquette. Don't be so formal. How can you give such a big ceremony?
Three royal brothers, please get up quickly, please get up quickly."
Zhu Yunwen's face was full of joy, and he very kindly stepped forward to help his cousin Zhu Gaochi, who was one year younger than him.
Zhu Gaochi is really too fat. Compared with Zhu Yunwen, who has beautiful features and tall body, his fat figure can fit both Zhu Yunwen. Because he is too fat, his big face is also plump, and the two Zhu Gaochi are too fat.
The fat face is droopy, white and tender, with a fleshy red color.
When he saw the emperor reaching out to help him, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly kowtowed again and said, "My brother, I thank you, the emperor."
As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi wanted to get up, but his body was too heavy. His legs were obviously overloaded to support his body. He fell to his knees and could not get up for a while.
Zhu Yunwen was just giving him a hand, but when he saw him like this, he had no choice but to go to him and help him. As soon as he held Zhu Gaochi's arm, his tentacle was a soft ball of fat. Zhu Yunwen felt like he had nowhere to put his strength.
, Xia Xun, who was standing in the corner of the hall, saw this and quickly stepped forward to help him lift Zhu Gaochi up.
As soon as he saw his eldest brother standing up, Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaosui, who were kneeling on the ground, also stood up. Zhu Gaochi took a few deep breaths, then smiled awkwardly at Zhu Yun, and said shyly: "My brother, I'm here for the first time.
Tianyan was inevitably nervous, her legs were a little weak, and for a moment... she made His Majesty laugh."
"Hehehe, Brother Wang is joking. You and I, brothers, have nothing to be nervous about. Xiao Linzi, hurry up and show your seat to the three brothers."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Gaochi thanked him with his hands and moved to the seat with difficulty. With this simple movement, fine beads of sweat already appeared on his forehead.
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui again. Although these two people inherited Nai's father's charm and were extremely tall and strong, they were only fifteen and fourteen in age. Although they were tall and thick, the hair on their lips had not faded yet.
, those eyes stared at Zhu Yunwen, making no secret of their hostility towards him.
Zhu Yunwen smiled, and when he turned around, a look of contempt flashed across his eyes.
As the saying goes, I am a hero and my son is a good man, but Zhu Yunwen could not feel the characteristics of his fourth uncle in these three sons. Every time he met his fourth uncle in the past, he would feel a sense of awe from the bottom of his heart, even if it was him
Now that he was the emperor, Zhu Di had to bow at his feet and kowtow to him as emperor. The uneasy feeling in his heart never disappeared.
Zhu Di had a very powerful aura, which made him feel awe. He had only felt this feeling in his imperial grandfather. No matter how kind Zhu Yuanzhang was to him, he never even said it to him. To put it bluntly, this sense of awe is still lingering.
Especially when he is around Zhu Yuanzhang, even if he sees Zhu Yuanzhang getting angry for other people or other things, he will remain silent. This kind of fear seems to be innate, a weak creature is born with the fear of another powerful creature. Awe. But he didn't feel that way at all with these three sons of King Yan.
Fat people always give people a sense of stupidity, and the Crown Prince of Yan is even more ridiculously fat. Zhu Yunwen feels that with King Yan's great military exploits, his eldest son may have never even touched the handle of a knife, let alone horseback riding and archery. He had to be supported even for a few steps.
As for Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, they look like brave warriors, but they are just warriors. Even your father did not dare to show hostility in front of me. You actually looked at me with hatred. Such two chests What can the stupid young man in Wucheng Mansion do for him?
After returning to the royal desk and sitting down, the smile on Zhu Yunwen's face became more friendly: "The three royal brothers have come all the way. They have worked hard all the way. I have already held a family banquet in the palace, and the queen mother will be coming soon. Let's accompany the queen mother. Let’s have a meal with her, and then Yang Xu will accompany you to Zhongshan Prince’s Mansion to rest first.”
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xia Xun, who was standing beside him, and said: "Prince Yan's Mansion was destroyed a few days ago, and it has not yet been rebuilt. Xu Huizu is your uncle, and it is only natural that your nephew should live in his uncle's house. Princes and princes, please also We will go to Beijing one after another. It is rare for you to come to Beijing. Take a good rest these few days and see the scenery of Jinling. Yang Xu will take care of everything for you and protect your safety in Beijing."
Zhu Gaosui couldn't hold himself back and asked rashly: "Your Majesty, when can we go back to Peking?"
Zhu Yunwen glanced at him and said calmly: "Isn't it possible that the golden powder land of the Six Dynasties and the imperial state of Jinling can't compare to Beiping in terms of scenery? Why should Brother Wang be so anxious?"
Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "There are only three of us sons under my mother's knees. Now that we are going to the capital together, my loving mother misses her very much. Before leaving, she told us to write a letter home early after arriving in the capital, stating the date of our return, so that my mother would not miss her. Therefore, please don’t blame your majesty for being reckless when my third brother asks this question.”
Zhu Yunwen said: "Oh, haha... I think so. I am the king of a country and need to take care of the world's major affairs. For the sake of the country and the country, I should have observed the filial piety of the late emperor for three years, but I can only exchange the sun for the moon. I have always deeply regretted this in my heart; and the feudal barriers of the princes and uncles also have heavy responsibilities and cannot leave the vassal state without authorization.
After thinking about it, I have decided that the responsibility of keeping filial piety for the late Emperor has to fall on the princes. On the anniversary of the death of the late Emperor Xiaoxiang, I will lead you to pay tribute to the Xiaoling Mausoleum. I plan to build a cottage under the Xiaoling Mausoleum for everyone to see. All the princes of the vassal will stay in it and observe their filial piety on behalf of the king and father. At the same time, they will select great Confucian scholars to teach the princes knowledge."
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's expressions suddenly changed when they heard this. Zhu Gaochi's face also turned slightly pale. Zhu Yun glanced at them and pretended to be surprised: "Three royal brothers, is there anything wrong with my opinion?"
A smile slowly appeared on Zhu Gaochi's face, and he slightly cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is a benevolent and filial friend, and I admire you very much. I am the descendants of the late emperor and your ministers today. We have built a filial piety in the Xiaoling Mausoleum and have fulfilled our filial piety for three years.
No matter how you say it, it is extremely appropriate."
Having said this, Zhu Gaochi's eyes, squeezed to the point of showing only a slit due to his obesity, cast a meaningful glance at Xia Xun, who was standing like a stake in the corner of the hall.
