After this set of procedures was completed, Yunxi responded to the other officials who came to greet him, then turned to them and said, "When did your uncles arrive at Haikang Institute?"
A few of them were muttering secretly in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it on the surface. Zhu Su said on behalf of everyone: "Your Majesty, I came to Haikang Institute on the fourth day of November. The fourth brother, the twenty-first brother, and nephew Xian Ao are all here." I arrived here on the ninth day of the lunar month."
"Originally, my eldest niece (Zhu Yunying) and my niece-in-law were also going to greet His Majesty today, but they suddenly caught wind and cold and were bedridden, so they could not come. I asked my minister to say hello to His Majesty on her behalf, saying that I would come to say hello to His Majesty when I feel better. .”
"My nephew has said it many times, why should my family members be called so politely? You can call me by my name, or you can call me nephew, but don't call me your majesty or emperor." Yunxi once again expressed his closeness to his clan members. , frowned and said: "Yunying also came to Haikang Institute? And she got sick?"
Yunxi really didn't know that Yunying had come to Haikang Institute. He had indeed recruited Cao Xing, who was the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town, to take Taiwanese barbarian soldiers to participate in the battle against Annan, but he wrote to Yunying to invite her. When he came to Guangdong for a meeting, Yunying said that he might not have time to come over.
In each of Yun Ying's letters to Yun Xi, she complained loudly to him: She had no time to spare in Taiwan. There were too few literate people in the area, and the civil servants sent by the imperial court were not very useful. They had to work all day long. Busy with a lot of clerical matters. "My sister is simply the governor of Taiwan Town, not the wife of the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town at all. Brother Emperor, you should give your sister another salary as the salary of the governor of Taiwan Town." Of course, Yunxi always does it every time. Write a letter to comfort her.
This time Yunying wrote him a reply saying that she might not be able to come, so he stopped caring about it; now it seems that she did come in the end.
"Your Majesty, it was Yunying's niece who came to Haikang Institute on the tenth day of the lunar month, or I went to the pier to pick up my niece and niece's son-in-law. But early the next morning, they both caught the cold. But I immediately found a famous local doctor. I came for diagnosis and treatment and said that my niece and nephew-in-law are not seriously ill. They will just take some medicine and rest for a few days."
"That's good." Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Compared with people like Zhu Di, Yunying and his brother and sister had a much deeper relationship for ten years. When he heard that Yunying was sick, he wanted to see her immediately; fortunately, Zhu Lu immediately said that Yunying was fine. , he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stay here to talk to them.
They were talking while walking from the pier to the palace. After Yunying's story was finished, Zhu Di suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty encountered a witchcraft incident in Guangzhou City? It didn't have any impact on your Majesty, right?"
Yunxi took a deep look at Zhu Di, then glanced at the reactions of Zhu Su and others, and said: "To be honest with several uncles and brothers Xianyao, this witchcraft did not come from our country, Guangzhou, in the Ming Dynasty. The monks and Taoists in the city were of no use, so my nephew fell into their trap and fell into a coma for a while. At that time, the servants around my nephew were very panicked and wanted to send a message to the capital."
Hearing Yun Xi's words, everyone present showed surprised expressions on their faces, and Zhu Mo even cried out nervously.
Yunxi didn't know whether their expressions were true or false, and continued: "But fortunately, Zhenren Zhang of the Wudang Sect was near Guangzhou City at that time. He came to the palace to wake up his nephew from his sleep, and untied the nephew's body. The witchcraft in."
"Later, Zhang Zhenren also helped the Guangzhou Police Headquarters catch one of the masterminds and criminals who performed sorcery. Now these criminals are being held in the prison of the Guangzhou Police Department, and are being interrogated day and night by the local criminal police to find out what happened to them.
Who is in charge?"
"Thankfully, your Majesty is fine." Zhu Mo immediately blurted out, and Zhu Di and Zhu Xianyao also echoed. But Zhu Su asked in surprise: "Isn't the Annan person the chief envoy?"
The overseas vassal kings were all shocked when they heard that Yunxi was in danger in Guangzhou! The place they were in was very remote and the news was not well-informed. It took a long time for the news that Yunxi was safe to come. In the process, they
But they were all very worried. They were really worried about Yun Xi's life, not just pretending to be worried.
For vassal kings such as Zhu Su and Zhu Mo who have now been granted overseas titles, the support from the court is very important. Among other things, the tens of thousands of people who migrate here every year are of great significance to their rule of the local area; in addition,
Zhu Xianfeng's Puluo Zhongcheng and Zhu Mo's Pontianak City are still counting on the help of the imperial court to continue their construction. If Yunxi, who was very supportive of overseas kings, dies and is succeeded by the five-year-old crown prince, will they still be able to continue their construction?
It is hard to predict whether these overseas vassal kings will support them.
Fortunately, news came after a few days: Yunxi was safe and sound, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It is not certain whether it is the Annan people who are in charge." Yunxi said: "The wizard who performed witchcraft came from Majapayi, and his witchcraft was also learned in Majapayi and has nothing to do with Annan. Several of the people caught
The person who led the mission has not been found to have any connection with Annan."
"Your Majesty, you still have to be cautious and don't give in." Zhu Di said. Those who have been in power for a long time understand that in political struggles, the person who seems to be the most suspicious may not be the real mastermind. Now the Ming Dynasty is aggressive in Southeast Asia.
There are many foreign countries who have the motive to do this.
Yunxi didn't speak, just nodded. He was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he would reveal the truth. The case had its own uses, but it couldn't be exposed in advance.
A few of them chatted for a while and arrived at the palace prepared for him.
Yunxi took a quick look and knew the size of the palace. He turned to Zhu Di and others and said, "Fourth uncle, have you lived in the palace?"
"How dare I live in His Majesty's palace? I live in the local military camp. He asked He Rong to free up several courtyards for us to live in." Zhu Di replied.
"How can this be so? How can a military camp be as comfortable as a palace? My nephew immediately ordered the servants of the palace to clear out a few small courtyards for my uncle and brother Xian Yao to live in." Yunxi said immediately.
They gave in and moved into the palace at Yunxi's insistence.
Then came the reception banquet. At the banquet, Zhu Su asked Yunxi under the influence of wine: "Guan family, uncle heard that you are going to lecture many soldiers in Haikang Institute tomorrow? What exactly are you going to say?"
"I can't tell you this. You will know when you see me tomorrow." Yunxi said.
"So mysterious?" Zhu Mo said with a smile: "I thought the officials were just talking about some official articles, but it is more effective for you to say it in person than for the ministers below. Now it seems that it is more than that."
"Of course it's more than that." Yunxi said, "My nephew has been preparing for a long time and has prepared a very innovative speech."
"Oh, I'll have to listen to it tomorrow." Zhu Di said with a smile.
…
…
Hearing Yunxi's question at this time, Zhu Di couldn't help but said: "The official's speech is indeed very unexpected. All my previous guesses were wrong."
Zhu Di really admired Yunxi this time. He never thought that Yunxi would dare to ignore the opinions of civil servants and say such things to the soldiers. Zhu Di considered himself very martial, and when he was in power in Su Fan, he also worshiped martial arts and suppressed civility.
But in order to take into account the face of the civil servants who came from the Ming Dynasty, they did not dare to say such things in public.
