After Lu Yuxin and the others retreated, Daiyu came out first before Zhu Jinghong could enter the room.
"You want to kill Baoyu?" Daiyu asked directly.
Jia Baoyu cannot be an assassin. Daiyu knows this very well, and she knows even better that Zhu Jinghong also knows it.
Now that he knew that Jia Baoyu was not an assassin, Zhu Jinghong was still struggling with whether to kill him, so Daiyu guessed that Zhu Jinghong had the idea of killing Baoyu.
After a few breaths of silence, Zhu Jinghong replied: "I didn't kill him, he wanted to die on his own!"
This is of course sophistry and cannot be hidden from Daiyu at all.
Looking at Zhu Jinghong, Daiyu said: "If the Thirteenth Master doesn't kill him, he will not die!"
If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely be jealous after hearing this, or even Yu Gengxin killed Jia Baoyu, but Zhu Jinghong felt calm at the moment.
Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "If you intend to assassinate, you can kill without mercy. If you don't kill... I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!"
At this moment, Daiyu realized that the person in front of her was of political significance. Prince Xiang, not the Thirteenth Master who is in love with him.
Daiyu is already better than most people in being able to distinguish this point in time.
"My dynasty governs the world with filial piety. Your Highness is right to follow the laws of the country, but why is he so ungrateful?"
Seeing that Zhu Jinghong was unmoved, Daiyu continued: " No matter what, Baoyu is the princess's aunt and cousin, your highness's cousin. If you kill him for violating the rules, I'm afraid the world will think you are cruel and mean!"
Also! Needless to say, what Daiyu mentioned touched Zhu Jinghong's heartstrings a little.
But Zhu Jinghong felt that this was not enough to prevent him from killing Jia Baoyu.
"Your Highness is so powerful that he is admired by many people. If you lose people's hearts because of this...I'm afraid it will be more than worth the loss!"
"Not to mention that there are many people in Beijing and in the opposition who want to do harm to Your Highness. , If they take the opportunity to cause trouble again, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to His Highness's overall situation!"
Hearing the last sentence, Zhu Jinghong smiled and asked: "What's the overall situation?"
Daiyu sat on a stool under the tree, pulled the hanging willow branch in front of her, and replied casually: "Of course it is your highness who is brave enough to climb the peak!"
Zhu Jinghong smiled even more, he had indeed been said Moved.
Of course, this is not because of how brilliant Daiyu’s words are, but because Zhu Jinghong himself is wavering.
But no matter what, Zhu Jinghong seemed to have lost his battle with Daiyu, so he planned to regain some face first and satisfy his bad taste.
After staring at Daiyu for a while, when her expression turned coy, Zhu Jinghong looked at the willow tree aside and said slowly: "Girl, as long as you pull up this tree, I can consider sparing that tree." The boy's life!"
Hearing this, Daiyu was immediately shocked because this request was indeed outrageous.
“Me?”
Looking at the thick-mouthed weeping willow on the side, Daiyu’s face was filled with disbelief. She evenI thought Zhu Jinghong was crazy.
"That's right!" Zhu Jinghong said seriously.
"If you can't pull it out, then the kid will die!"
"Your Highness, are you kidding?" Daiyu looked serious.
At this moment, she could only conclude that she had not persuaded Zhu Jinghong, who had made up his mind to kill Baoyu.
Zhu Jinghong replied: "Girl, asking me to let him go is as difficult as asking you to pull up a weeping willow!"
He was sighing, just to show how much he has How difficult it is to give in for Daiyu.
So after he said this, Zhu Jinghong planned to change his mind and let Jia Baoyu go, but Daiyu actually stood up at this time.
"Okay...I'll pull it up!" Daiyu said equally seriously.
After all, she couldn't bear to watch Jia Baoyu die, so even if there was only half a chance, she would try her best to rescue him.
When Daiyu said these words, it was Zhu Jinghong's turn to be surprised.
Even with all his might, he couldn't do anything about the thick-mouthed weeping willow. If Daiyu could pull it up, he could only find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
So he wanted to see what tricks this girl could do...
Daiyu walked to the willow tree, first reached out and patted the trunk, then stood up on tiptoes and pinched She pinched the branches, and finally her hand held a branch.
First she broke the branch, then pulled it to the side, and a branch was broken off by Daiyu.
/p>
"Your Highness asked me to pull up the willow tree. This is a willow tree..."
Reaching out the branch and handing it to Zhu Jinghong, Daiyu solemnly said: "Now I will pull it up." ”
Zhu Jinghong was stunned at this moment, and then he smiled.
"Okay...okay!" Zhu Jinghong stroked his palm.
He was impressed by Daiyu's quick wit.
“I’ve heard Baochai praise you for being smart, but now you finally know what you’re talking about. You’re so twisted and have a sharp mouth!”
Hearing Zhu Jinghong’s words, Daiyu felt relieved. At least Jia Baoyu's life was saved.
Faced with Zhu Jinghong’s praise, Daiyu was not complacent.
The reason is that Daiyu knows the fact that truth needs to be backed up by strength, and between her and Zhu Jinghong, it is obvious that the latter is very powerful.
Zhu Jinghong can choose to listen to her reasoning, or he can choose to ignore it.
This time this man is willing to admit his truth, perhaps because of his friendship with him, but it is more likely to be the result of considering his own interests... Daiyu also knows this very well .
Daiyu couldn't tell which of the two possibilities was more serious or less serious at this moment.
Listening to Zhu Jinghong's praise at this moment, Daiyu realized that her little skill was nothing compared to the invisible King Xiang in front of her.
He wantsAs an emperor, how can I compare with him... Daiyu comforted herself like this.
Maybe only Sister Bao can see through him... She guessed so.
But if Baochai were here, he would tell Daiyu very frankly that he actually couldn't see through Zhu Jinghong.
"Here comes..."
"Thirteenth Master, please give your orders!" Lu Yuxin appeared.
"That boy from the Jia family behaves recklessly and without sense of propriety. Although he has been expelled from the Jia family, his blood is thicker than water and will never change. Since he is the cousin of the princess, he can be given a lighter sentence!" "
This is a more formal order. Daiyu really felt at ease when she heard Zhu Jinghong say this.
"However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided...beat him with twenty military sticks and drive him away!"
"I accept the order!" Lu Yuxin replied.
Turn around, Zhu Jinghong said in a deep voice: "Also, Hu Hong took matters into his own hands and did not report it according to the rules... I will punish him with twenty military sticks!"
Rules are rules. The reason why Hu Hong attacked Jia Baoyu is not important in Zhu Jinghong's opinion. The important thing is that Hu Hong messed up the rules.
Since Hu Hong had done something wrong, he must be punished, so he issued the second order.
As for Hu Hong being dissatisfied... there is no such possibility.
This matter is over now. At this moment, Zhu Jinghong was holding a willow branch in his hand and asked the person in front of him: "Girl Lin, you have been keeping vigil for more than half a year. You have fulfilled your filial piety. Can you do anything in the future?" Plan? "
Although it is said that a normal wake-up call lasts for three years, it is a very old rule. There are not many people in the world who can stay at Daiyu's place for more than half a year. It seems very rare.
"I don't know!" Daiyu replied.
She actually knew it, but she couldn't say it, so she could only say she didn't know.
Zhu Jinghong didn’t have so many ideas as she did, and said directly: "Come with me to the capital!"
After her father passed away, there was no one or thing in Suzhou that Daiyu missed, so she followed Zhu Jinghong to the capital. It's a way to go.
What's more, she has already fallen in love with Zhu Jinghong, how can she not want to stay and fly with him.
"Going to the capital is also causing trouble for others!" Daiyu turned around and said.
Zhu Jinghong took a step closer and explained: "Your sister Bao has always been thinking about you. It's too late for her to be happy when you go...how can you say it is causing trouble!"
"This ..."
"Don't worry about this or that, I will make arrangements for you and you will not be wronged!"
This way! Zhu Jinghong comforted Daiyu, while on the other side, outside the Lin family thatched cottage, Jia Baoyu and Hu Hongzheng were tortured at the same time.
As Zhu Jinghong expected, Hu Hong did not have any dissatisfaction. He took off his armor and shirt like a man, and looked at Jia Baoyu who was wailing at the side with pride.
Soon after twenty sticks were beaten, Jia Baoyu was already dying.
Hu Hong stood up despite the severe pain and looked at Jia Baoyu who was wailing in a low voice.With a look of disdain on his face, he said: "Boy, even if I get another twenty military sticks, as long as I can deal with you... I won't hesitate!"
At this time, Lu Yuxin scolded from the side: "Stop talking. In other words, if the Thirteenth Master knows that you are so rude, I'm afraid you won't be slapped with a military stick!"
Hu Hong immediately stopped talking, and after saluting Lu Yuxin, he endured the severe pain. Stepped aside.
Lu Yuxin summoned Lin Yao and ordered him to send someone to send Jia Baoyu away. The matter ended here.
Lu Yuxin is also a smart person, so he can already guess that there will be another disturbance after returning to Beijing.
He could have downplayed the matter, but Zhu Jinghong decided to hit Jia Baoyu with a military stick. It was obvious that he was happy to see the storm surging.
Based on this, Lu Yuxin can also guess that Zhu Jinghong has a tendency to take the initiative to attack.
Understanding this, Lu Yuxin was particularly excited, because many people, including him, were angry that Zhu Jinghong had been "bullied".
Taking the initiative means that he will no longer be bullied. Of course, Lu Yuxin is very happy.
On the other side, Zhu Jinghong and Daiyu chatted for an hour before the former said goodbye and left, leaving a team of people to protect the Lin family.
He has made an appointment with Daiyu, who is willing to visit the princess in the capital, and plans to leave in about a month.
In fact, because of her unknown status, Daiyu would look particularly weird when she followed Zhu Jinghong.
After leaving Suzhou, Zhu Jinghong’s next stop was Yingtian, where he had to meet the heroes behind the battle.
Recruiting grain and grass, transporting military supplies, coordinating local governments...
All kinds of affairs are extremely complicated. Without a strong team to rely on, it would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty Navy to achieve the achievements it has today.
So Zhu Jinghong naturally wanted to express his gratitude to these behind-the-scenes heroes, and also make contact with the civil servants on the way.
Civil officials and scholar-bureaucrats, these people controlled the local area and affected the main tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty. Their combined power was terrifying.
It is very important for Zhu Jinghong to "eliminate misunderstandings" with these people.
Having learned that Zhu Jinghong was coming, all the government offices in Yingtian Mansion were actively preparing, especially to clean up the bad people.
As a result, the local gangsters in Yingtian suffered a lot. Those who were lucky were caught in jail, while those who were unlucky were shot in the street.
In just two or three days, Ying Tianfu was transformed into a completely new person, and Feng Yuan saw the whole process.
This time he came to Yingtian, he was actually invited to attend the celebration banquet.
He himself has nothing to do with the celebration. The key is that he is now a candidate and has a group of classmates with whom he has good relationships.
For example, He Jiayan, the son of He Gu Jin, was just a scholar and could attend the banquet because of his father.
The invitation letter from Feng Yuan was obtained by He Jiayan.
"In the past two days...Prince Xiang should have arrived at Yingtian!" Feng Yuan murmured in a low voice.
But just as he sighed, he heard the faint sound of horse hooves coming from the long street, as well as the continuous shouts from the crowd.
Yes, Zhu Jinghong is here!
The ceremonial guards are powerful, the motorcade is long, and the guards are capable...
Everything shows Zhu Jinghong's majesty, but in fact, with his current achievements, there is no need to pass through external objects. to achieve the purpose.
In fact, at this moment, even Zhu Jinghong himself was not in the convoy, but Jian Cong was driving home.
Yang Jingting also knew how to be sensible. She also did not choose to live in a palace. Instead, she found a private house to rent, where the family lived and ate.
Having learned that Zhu Jinghong was coming back in the past few days, Yang Jingting ordered people to clean up the house again, and now she was waiting under the eaves of the main room in the inner courtyard.
"Ms. Qi, the prince has returned to the palace and is about to arrive now!"
Hearing the contents of the eunuch's report, Yang Jingting was extremely excited and quickly ordered her servants to prepare to welcome him.
Even Yang Jingting, who was physically inconvenient, was supported by Zhang Xiaoyue and Li Huizhen as she slowly walked down the steps.
Listening to the sound of worship coming from outside, Yang Jingting knew that Zhu Jinghong was coming, so she checked her manners and clothing again.
A few breaths later, Yang Jingting could see Zhu Jinghong through the door.
"Your Majesty, you are back!" Yang Jingting hurriedly greeted him.
While talking, Yang Jingting leaned directly against Zhu Jinghong with her belly still full.
Eight months into her pregnancy, Yang Jingting’s belly was already very big, so she asked Zhu Jinghong to touch it.
"Thank you for your hard work during this time!" Zhu Jinghong comforted.
"The prince is fighting outside, and the only thing I can do is to spread branches and leaves for the prince. This is my duty!"
Yang Jingting's answer It was impeccable. Zhu Jinghong had heard similar words many times, so there was actually no fluctuation in his heart.
"Meet the prince!"
Zhang Xiaoyue and Li Huizhen also came up to say hello. This was a rare opportunity for them. After all, it was not easy to meet Zhu Jinghong.
These two people can play, but Zhu Jinghong should be more attentive to them. He asked: "You have done a good job in taking care of Ting girl. What reward do you want?"
"Your Majesty. It is true that they have taken care of everything these days and have done everything themselves, and they should be rewarded!"
These two are our own people, and Yang Jingting will of course work for their benefit, and everyone will do it! Talk to me at this critical moment.
"How do you think we should reward you?" Zhu Jinghong looked at Yang Jingting.
What he said was actually a trap, just to test Yang Jingting.
These methods have been integrated into Zhu Jinghong’s bones and can be easily used.
