Ni Er followed Deng An, walking around in Prince Xiang's Mansion, and finally arrived at the school grounds.
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong had sat on the chair and was sipping tea with a tea cup.
Ni Er quickly calmed down and made full preparations in his heart, and then came to Zhu Jinghong.
"Young man...meet your Highness!"
Although Ni Er has joined the Imperial Guard, he is now just an ordinary school captain and is not qualified to be called a "minister" in front of Zhu Jinghong.
"Get up and answer!"
"Yes!"
Ni Er did not dare to make any unnecessary movements. After standing up tremblingly, he lowered his hands and lowered his head in preparation. ask.
"You all stand down!" Zhu Jinghong said while looking around.
"Yes!"
After all the eunuchs left, Zhu Jinghong and Ni Er were the only ones left in the school grounds, which made the latter even more nervous.
"Are you working as an errand at the Qianhu Office in Beicheng?"
"Thanks to the great love of the prince, I can join the Beicheng Office!"
Ni Er relied on He joined Prince Xiang's Palace, but on the surface he was on the side of Prince Zhongshun. In order to show that he would never forget his roots, Ni Er replied like this.
"How did you pay attention to that matter? Is there any harvest?" Zhu Jinghong asked again.
From the beginning to the end, Prince Xiang’s Mansion only sent Ni Er one task, which was to keep an eye on who Miaoyu came into contact with.
Of course, Chen Yuntai is also responsible for this matter.
It’s just that the intelligence collected by Chen Yuntai was reported to Ni Er by Prince Xiang’s Mansion, but Chen Yuntai didn’t know about it.
Now Chen Yuntai has gone to Beicheng to serve as deputy Qianhu. The investigation of Miaoyu was arranged by Zhu Jinghong. Now he has packed it all and handed it over to Ni Er by Zhu Jinghong.
Chen Yuntai still didn't know about this. He only knew that Ni Er had something to do with Prince Xiang's Mansion.
Zhu Jinghong asked Ni Er to come over today, mainly to ask about Miaoyu.
Ni Er was naturally very attentive to his only errand. He even thought about it while eating and sleeping.
Nearly a year after joining the company, Ni Er has indeed made great gains with the help of existing intelligence.
"According to the instructions of the noble prince, I have not dared to neglect this matter for a year, and have been paying close attention to this matter. So far, I have indeed gained something!"
"Tell me and listen. !" Zhu Jinghong said calmly.
"There are four nuns accompanying Miaoyu. It has been basically confirmed that two of them are White Lotus followers. The other two may not know the inside story, but I am still paying close attention!"
Zhu Jinghong nodded. Ni Er was thoughtful and not as rough as his appearance. Of course he was very satisfied with this.
"There are also fifteen eunuchs who can be confirmed to be her people. These people are spread inside and outside the palace, and there are thirteen more who are suspicious..."
"Except These people, as well as seven palace maids, are confirmed to be his accomplices, as well as six soldiers from the Yiwei Division..."
When listening to Ni Er's introduction, Zhu Jinghong was also settling accounts in his mind.
Eunuchs, maids and soldiers, there are now thirty confirmed White Lotus Sect rebels, and these have already been discovered.
How many have not been discovered? This is even more difficult to say clearly. It can be dozens or even hundreds.
"Have these people been hiding in the palace for a long time?" Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but ask.
Dongchang is always watching, and there are so many people infiltrating in. Doesn’t it mean that the palace is leaking air everywhere? This result is too outrageous.
Although the world is full of grass-roots teams, this is still difficult for Zhu Jinghong to accept.
"Of the thirty people who have been identified, only three have grown up in the palace. The remaining twenty-odd people have all entered the palace in the past two years, and more than half of them...more than half took the path of the East Palace!"
It was said that he took the East Palace Gate route, but Zhu Jinghong knew that Miaoyu was causing trouble, and the prince and his wife were most likely kept in the dark.
Zhu Jinghong then asked: "How many of those eunuchs and maidens are in prison? How many are on duty in Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace?"
Ni Er replied: "None of these people have been identified, and only eleven of them are servants in the outer court!"
This made Zhu Jinghong breath a sigh of relief, because only this kind of thing could be accepted.
The servants in the inner court have basically been in the palace since they were young, and they are extremely reliable in knowing everything.
In an important place like Qianqing Kunning, the people who serve are the best of the best, and they must pass the strictest review to prevent infiltration.
Subsequently, Ni Er told the specific situation of these people. Although Zhu Jinghong was listening, he could not remember them all.
But after listening, he was at least certain of one thing, that is, Ni Er was very capable, otherwise he would not be able to keep track of so many people and things.
In fact, when investigating the White Lotus Sect in the palace, you only need to follow the clues after opening a breakthrough. The difficulty lies in being careful and careful all the time.
In terms of Chen Yuntai’s previous results, Ni Er achieved such results alone in less than a year, which fully proved his ability.
"How old are you this year?" Zhu Jinghong asked.
"Reporting to the prince, I am thirty-one this year!"
Zhu Jinghong praised: "Thirty-one... I am in my prime, and I have a lot to do!"
"This matter is top secret. You must investigate it carefully in the future. I have already said hello...No one from Qianhu Office in Beicheng will disturb you!"
"Yes, I will definitely take care of it for the prince." Things are done!"
Zhu Jinghong nodded and continued: "Although you have merit, the matter you investigated is particularly special, so I can only help you become a captain for the time being!"
p>"I won't treat you badly when things are done in the future!"
Of course Zhu Jinghong would not forget about drawing cakes, so he said it casually at this moment.
"Being loyal to the prince is a blessing for a villain!" Ni Er kowtowed quickly.
"Get up, if there's nothing else...just go back!"
"Yes...the villain is resigning!""
After Ni Er saluted, he only took a few steps outside when suddenly Zhu Jinghong's voice came from behind.
"How old is your son this year? "
This question confused Ni Er, but he immediately replied: "Reporting to the prince, I married my wife last year and she is now three months pregnant! ”
A thirty-one-year-old man only married last year, which is very late in this era.
Ni Er is actually not short of money. The reason why he has wasted so many years is because He doesn't have a legitimate job, and others look down on him.
Now that he has become a captain of the Imperial Guard, Ni Er's life has settled down, and he can naturally marry and have children.
"Since you're pregnant... don't just worry about errands, you have to take care of your family too! ”
“If you have any difficulties or need money, just tell Deng An directly! ”
Of course these words are meant to win people’s hearts, but coming from the mouth of a dignified prince, they still have extraordinary power.
Ni Er was extremely moved by such care. , so he turned around and kowtowed again to thank him.
As he left, Zhu Jinghong frowned and started to think.
Miaoyu must have wanted to cause chaos by crowding so many people into the imperial city. Does the prince know?
Is it possible that the prince himself is willing to use the borrowed knife to kill people?
Zhu Jinghong gave up the second idea after thinking about it for a moment. Because the risk for the prince to do this is too great.
So, at least until now, the prince should not know... Zhu Jinghong made such a guess.
However, speculation can only be a guess, and the truth of the matter is unknown. However, Zhu Jinghong still couldn't confirm it.
But no matter what, the outcome of this matter is already determined.
Miaoyu's identity is already known, whether the prince is related to Miaoyu or not. Lao Liu can bind them and kick them off the clouds!
I have done something with Miaoyu today and have a relationship with her. Will Lao Liu trap me into something new?
If the two legitimate sons were deposed at once, Lao Liu would be the only legitimate son, and the throne would naturally fall to him.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but feel a little regretful, secretly cursing that he shouldn't have controlled the big head with his small head, and now he has colluded with the White Lotus Sect.
I have to make amends for such a big loss...
Thinking of Miaoyu who was still living in the palace, Zhu Jinghong became jealous again. Today he decided to be more ruthless...
The fact that he still has the mind to think about these nonsense at this moment means that The so-called collusion with the White Lotus Sect is not a big trouble for him.
A moral model like the prince can be brought down by colluding with the White Lotus Sect to cause chaos, but he, Zhu Jinghong, is an immoral person. The effect of using this thing to slander her would not be very good.
At that time, he could just say that he was just lustful. How could he think that this woman was a bad person?
Waiting and dormant. , wait and see, I still have to calm down... Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.
Finally he rubbed his hands, then stood up and walked outside the school grounds. He planned to communicate with Miaoyu again, after all, she had been resting for several days.
The matter went without incident, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.
…………
The fourteenth year of Orthodoxy, the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month.
The spring hunt in Shanglin Garden has finally officially begun, and the emperor himself will set out from the palace.
At this time, on the royal road outside Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xianming was walking forward slowly, and beside him was Queen Yang Qingyin.
"Don't be too pushy. It's just fun when you're old. Don't hurt your body..."
The queen was nagging beside her, and her words were sweet. The outside meaning is a warning to the emperor, don't act blindly when you are old.
If others say these words, the emperor will never be able to listen at ease, so the queen is a different matter after all.
"By the way, I heard that the thirteenth old man has been studying Buddhism intensively recently, and the wonderful jade that the fourth daughter-in-law invited...has been giving lectures in Prince Xiang's Mansion these days!"
Hearing this, Zhu Xianming laughed "haha" twice without saying a word about it.
Walking all the way to Qianqing Gate, Zhu Xianming finally stopped, turned around and faced the queen and said, "It's windy outside. If you have nothing to do, just go back and rest. I'll come back to the palace to see you in two days!"
p>
"Take care!"
Zhu Xianming said with a smile: "It's not that far away, Shanglin Garden is less than ten miles away, why bother saying these words!"
At this time, outside the Qianqing Gate, the Crown Prince and Prince Rui were already waiting. Of course they would appear on such an occasion.
Glancing outside the palace gate, Zhu Xianming looked at the queen and said, "Look... Old Thirteen is not here again. If you want him to grow, it will be harder than reaching the sky!"
p>Sighing, Yang Qingyin said: "No matter how incompetent he is, he is still your son, so what else can he do!"
When she said this, she was looking at the prince and Prince Rui. Obviously, these The two of them disappointed her even more.
"Okay, I'm leaving!"
The emperor walked out of Qianqing Gate, and Yang Qingyin stayed at the palace gate. She didn't want to go out to see her two sons.
When Zhu Xianming left the palace gate, his two sons gathered around him.
"Dad, Wu Xun and the envoys from various countries have arrived at Shanglin Garden!" The prince stepped forward to report.
"Yes!"
Zhu Jingyuan then said: "The Junggar people have requested to participate in the hunt. The Ministry of Rites does not know how to deal with it. Please give me your instructions!"
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Junggar delegation arrived in Beijing. The imperial court treated it coldly and did not even send anyone to actively contact them.
On the 19th of the first lunar month, these people couldn't help it and finally revealed their intention to come for peace talks, but the court still treated them coldly.
So this group of people found a place by themselves. They have been living in the capital for ten days, and today they took the initiative to ask about participating in the hunt.
Zhu Xianming sneered and said: "They are no longer ministers of the Ming Dynasty, how can they be allowed to participate in hunting?"! "
At this time, Zhu Jingyuan interjected: "Dad, since they are here for peace talks, there must be an explanation for this matter. They can't drag it out forever, right? "
"Peace talks... are not asking for peace. These people are still arrogant, so we have to temper them more! Zhu Xianming said coldly.
The translated meaning of this is that we should continue to let the Junggar people wait until the time is right before talking about peace talks.
The father and son walked together. Accompanied by the guards, eunuchs and other retinues, they walked towards the main entrance of the palace.
At least for the moment, the prince and Prince Rui did not fight, maintaining the apparent harmony between the brothers.
Walk out of Fengtian Gate. At that time, even if Zhu Xianming did not feel tired, he had to ride in a sedan to maintain the dignity of the emperor. The prince and Prince Rui rode horses
They went north to Shanglin Garden, so they left the Meridian Gate. After that, Zhu Xianming went east and then north, and finally left the imperial city through Bei'an Gate, and then entered Shanglin Garden through Anding Gate.
While on the road, Zhu Xianming sent people to look for Zhu Jinghong again, and also learned that. I scolded this guy a few times.
Shanglin Garden is a large area. As a private royal garden, it contains woods, lakes, gardens, and military camps, which can meet various mission needs.
At this time, the emperor's throne has been set up in the east position of Shanglin Garden. Wu Xun in Beijing and the envoys of various vassals are all lined up to welcome the emperor.
With the sound of music. After the sound of the sound, everyone knew that the emperor was about to ascend the throne, so their expressions became more solemn and solemn.
The emperor appeared immediately, accompanied by the prince and Prince Rui on both sides, which seemed to indicate a lot of things.
“Long live my emperor! "
The internal and external ministers paid homage together, and the scene echoed with the cry of long live.
Then Zhu Xianming asked everyone to stand up, and then began today's lecture.
"The Ming Dynasty has since From Taizu expelling the Tartars to conquering the world, to Shizu bringing peace to the world and rebuilding Kyushu, for more than 300 years, everyone has advocated martial virtue. Today, the world..."
Zhu Xianming said solemnly,
Okay He didn't like nagging, so he finished his speech quickly and immediately announced that the hunting in Shanglin Garden would begin.
This hunting lasted for three days and two nights.
The first day was free hunting, the second day was a hunting competition, and the third day was a celebration banquet, and then the hunting in Shanglin Garden ended.
At this time, after the emperor finished speaking, everyone pressed the button. After deciding on the direction, they went hunting in groups of three or five.
The prince and Prince Rui also went with their entourage. They also had the intention of competing for the lead today.
They themselves are not good, but the few guards they accompany are all capable.
"Old Thirteen is not here yet? ”
Zhu Xianming had already put on his military uniform and armor, and his tone could be described as extremely impatient because Zhu Jinghong was too late.
To prove his prowess, Zhu Xianming planned to hunt tigers himself. For this purpose, he also brought several painters with him.I want to draw a picture of today’s hunting trip as a souvenir.
Although there were many guards accompanying him, he still felt unsettled in his heart, so he really hoped that Zhu Jinghong would be with him.
Zhu Xianming still recognized Zhu Jinghong's personal force value very much, and he could feel at ease with this kid.
After putting on the clothes, Zhu Xianming began to adjust the bowstring again, then adjusted the armor, and then wiped the saber...
Zhu Xianming was stalling for time, and he waited for less than half an hour.
"Your Majesty, Prince Xiang is here!"
Zhu Xianming's eyes suddenly widened with anger, but thinking that he would have to use this kid later, he could only suppress his anger.
A few breaths later, Zhu Jinghong appeared in the tent. He knelt down beside the emperor consciously, kowtowed and said, "Dad... something in the house has been delayed. Please calm down!"
< p>Of course he was late on purpose, and he had thought of the excuse in advance.Zhu Xianming wiped the knife, sneered and asked: "Delayed? What delay?"
"Yes..."
"Could it be? Are you busy chanting?" Zhu Xianming put down his sword and asked.
"You also know?" Zhu Jinghong was slightly surprised.
Then he went on to say: "My son has been studying Buddhism intensively recently and suddenly realized his life..."
"There are countless eminent monks and virtuous people in major temples in the capital. Why do you just ask? "A little female cultivator?"
"You mean Miaoyu, she is really a very advanced cultivator, I really bow to her..."
Zhu Xianming immediately slapped the table, and then He angrily yelled: "You bastard, are you just submissive? You're obviously greedy for someone else's body..."
Standing up, Zhu Xianming walked around the desk, walked up to Zhu Jinghong, and kicked him directly. A kick.
"You little beast, you can do this to someone who is a pure cultivator. You are nothing!"
Zhu Jinghong raised his head, looking unashamed. He looked very calm and said: "Since you said this...then my son won't pretend anymore!"
"My son is lustful, so what?"
