Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Chapter 223 Zhu Di enters Peiping, the east wind rises, and all parties are gearing up.

The next day.

Zhu Di, Zhu Xi, Zhu Xiongying's uncle and nephew set off on their journey.

In the carriage returning to the city.

Chang and Zhu Biao rode in the same carriage.

Zhu Biao looked at the carriage of Xu Miaoyun, mother and son, separated from them, and headed towards Zhuzi Lane. He looked away and saw Chang's face full of worry. He smiled and held Chang's hand, "Xiong Ying just left, and he was worried." ? Don’t worry, fourth brother will definitely take good care of Xiongying."

"On weekdays, Lao Wu likes to fiddle with some medical books. If I really have a headache or a fever, it can be helpful."

Chang forced a smile.

The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles, not to mention that the hero is still so young.

"I'll tell you some good news, but you have to keep it secret, even to uncle Lan Yu."

Mrs. Chang couldn't help but be attracted and turned around to look...

Zhu Biao smiled and whispered: "This trip to Liaodong, the hero may come back with the imperial seal..."

Chang's eyes gradually widened.

The imperial seal has been lost for hundreds of years.

She knew very well what it meant for Xiongying to go to Liaodong and bring back the imperial seal.

From then on, the hero's body was shrouded in a mysterious and mysterious light!

"In addition, my father also wants to see the fourth brother's ability to lead troops, so this matter must not be spread to the outside world."

When Lao Si mobilized his troops, he might have to carry Feng Sheng on his back.

According to Jinyiwei's inspection, it was the day the father announced that the fourth child would take Xiongying to Liaodong.

The Feng family sent people to Liaodong to report the news.

Soon, Feng Sheng will know about this.

If Feng Sheng knew about it, Lao Si also had a secret mission to bring back the national jade seal. Will he cooperate, or will he secretly stumble? But we don’t know.

These nobles and the imperial court are no longer of the same mind.

Mrs. Chang nodded, now she knew all the dirty things in the court.

…

Yizhen County.

It's approaching evening.

An ox cart slowly approached the county seat.

Behind the ox cart were two horses.

An adult is driving the car, and a little person is sitting next to the adult.

There is also a young man lying on the cart holding a book.

He shook his head and said: "Fourth brother, I heard that the water tower in Yizhen County is very famous. It is built near the river. The most famous food is fish and boiled bamboo shoots. Stay in the water tower and stand by the window. When the boat passes by, call out to the boat and use the Put down the food box when fishing with a rope, and the cook on the boat will soon prepare a delicious fish and bamboo shoots. Let’s stay in the water building tonight.”

Gulu.

Zhu Xiongying swallowed subconsciously, raised his head, and looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked at it funny and said, "Okay, Xiongying seems to want to eat. Let's stay in the water building tonight and eat fish and bamboo shoots. Lao Wu, how do you know this?"

hey-hey……

Zhu Zhu got up and said, "I finally left Beijing to go see the outside. Before I left, I learned about all the delicious food and beautiful scenery along the way."

"Fourth brother, when we arrive in Shandong, how about we climb Mount Tai?"

Zhu Di smiled and glared.

Glancing at the medical book in Zhu's hand, he said, "You have been holding this medical book all day long. Do you like medical skills?"

"Well, I like to study medical skills and plants..."

…

Zhu Di looked at this beaming brother. ✎♩

Maybe he was born in the old Zhu family.

The descendants of Lao Zhu's family are all quite weird.

Those who like to study alchemy and engage in carpentry...

All in all, they are all special.

The old man’s ninth grandson, Zhu Zaiyu, was even more famous and was hailed as the ‘Oriental Renaissance Saint’ by later generations in the West.

The twelve equal temperaments invented by Zhu Zaiyu laid the foundation for the invention of Western musical instruments such as piano and accordion.

Without the Equal Temperament, modern Western music might not exist at all.

He was also a metrologist, the first person in the world to accurately measure the density of mercury.

…

Zhu Zaiyu has many achievements.

Newton was born thirty years after his death.

Zhu Zaiyu was ignored for four hundred years, and was regarded by officials of the Ming and Qing dynasties as a model of not doing his job properly.

Zhu Zaiyu is just one of them.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, science, technology, and the Renaissance were actually far ahead of the West.

But these things are not taken seriously.

He couldn't convince the old man this time.

After the eldest brother or Xiongying becomes the emperor, convince them that the descendants of the Zhu family do not necessarily have to be granted vassal status.

Lao Zhu's family has huge resources, why can't they just immerse themselves in their favorite research?

They like research, and if they focus on research, they need helpers. They will recruit talents from the private sector who also like scientific research and reuse these talents.

The strange prince of the Zhu family and the talents of the people, immersed in research, may create different sparks.

‘I hope big brother or Xiongying can accept these suggestions from me. ’

"Fourth brother, fourth brother..."

The shout woke Zhu Di up.

He gathered his thoughts, turned around and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Ju was a little embarrassed and hesitated, "Fourth brother, I heard that your Tuqiao Village is trying to plant a crop called corn. This fall, can you send me some seeds? I want to study it."

"Of course." Zhu Di smiled.

Seeing that Zhu Xi couldn't hide his excitement, he ventriloquised, "Lao Wu really likes these things." ’

An idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately reminded: "Lao Wu, you like to study plants, have you ever thought about studying the pollination of plants..."

Not much is known about hybrid Zhu Di.

I can only briefly talk about it.

Zhu Di's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grabbed Zhu Di's shoulders and said, "Fourth brother, after you find a place to stay, you and I can talk about it. This is quite interesting."

"OK."

…

Inside the water building.

After the three of them had eaten fish and boiled bamboo shoots, Zhu Di pestered Zhu Di and asked a lot about cross-breeding.

It wasn't until Zhu Di had nothing to say that he let Zhu Di go.

After Zhu Xiongying settled down, he went back to the house, washed his feet and lay down on the bed, just as he was drifting off.

Squeak!

The door was gently pushed open.

Zhu Di's eyelids moved and he was awake.

Zhu Xiongying closed the door, held half of the candle, tiptoed to the bedside, and put the candle in front of Zhu Di to take a look.

Make sure Zhu Di is ‘asleep’.

His tight little face relaxed and he murmured in a low voice: "Tomorrow morning, I'll tell you, I didn't know how I came to my fourth uncle's room. Anyway, I won't admit it, so I ran here by myself."

Zhu Di was so anxious that he couldn't help laughing.

puff!

Zhu Xiongying blew out the candles and adjusted to the dark environment in the room by the bedside. Using the moonlight, he carefully climbed onto the bed, gently lifted up the quilt, and got in.

"Are you afraid of sleeping alone in a strange environment?" Zhu Di asked.

After a while, a shy voice came out: "Uncle Fourth, are you awake?"

"Um!"

"Fourth uncle, can Xiongying sleep with you on this journey?"

"Um."

"Thank you, Uncle Fourth!"

In the darkness, Zhu Xiongying cheered and hugged Zhu Di's arm.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Go to sleep."

"Um."

…

The next day, Zhu Di woke up with half of his body soaked in the "vast ocean".

Zhu Xiongying wet the bed!

Three poles in the sun.

Ox carts drive out of Yizhen County.

The sides of the cart are a little more decorated.

A few tree branches carry a few linings for adults and children.

Ha ha……

Zhu Xi was holding a book, lying on the trolley, looking at the clothes fluttering in the wind on both sides, reaching out to touch Zhu Xiongying's little head, laughing and joking: "Fourth brother, the night before yesterday, you should have hugged Xiongying and laughed... Xiongying, did I almost wash your fourth uncle into the river next to the water tower last night...haha..."

new

Zhu Xiongying lowered his head shyly, "Fourth uncle, I'm sorry..."

The reason why he set off today was because his fourth uncle helped him wash clothes.

Neither his father nor his mother would do such a thing for him.

"It's okay. Yong Ming is better than you in this regard. Fourth uncle has long been used to it." Zhu Di smiled and rubbed his little head, turned his head, and glared at Zhu Xi angrily: "Get out of here and ride a horse by yourself!"

This silly boy.

The hero is young now, but when he grows up and becomes the emperor, if he is not big-hearted enough, he should remember these things.

This bastard Lao Wu must be in bad luck!

You can joke with Xiongying, but you can't joke about everything.

"By the way, put my panties on your back!"

ah!

Zhu Rui's eyes widened immediately, "Fourth brother, people along the way will think I peed my pants!"

"Go or not!" Zhu Di glared.

He just wanted to make this stupid boy lose face in front of the hero.

When Xiongying thinks about this in the future, he will always think of Lao Wu wearing a wet white lining and being pointed at and laughed at.

Even if he gets angry, he will laugh it off.

When you get to the next place to rest, you have to have a good talk with Lao Wu and remind you of some things you should pay attention to.

Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Di's eyes, suddenly a little scared.

It's cold and chilling to the core.

He didn't feel this kind of indifference even from his father.

"oh!"

Not daring to refute, I reluctantly agreed, picked up the tree branch, jumped off the ox cart, and rode alone...

…

Half a month later.

Zhu Di's uncle and nephew were in Yangzhou.

The messenger from the Feng family rushed to Jinzhou.

Feng Sheng's study.

"What!" Chang Mao was startled and stared at the reporter: "Say it again!"

"Uncle, half a month ago, Zhu Silang and Zhou Wang Zhu Ji accompanied the emperor's grandson from Jinling. Their final destination is Liaodong."

"On behalf of His Majesty, Zhu Silang will present the shoulder badge to the Daliao River Guards."

boom!

Chang Mao punched the small table next to him, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "My sister is crazy! My brother-in-law is crazy! She actually asked Zhu Silang to bring Xiongying to Liaodong. If anything goes wrong with Xiongying, Jinzhou will be Zhu Silang's burial place!"

snort!

Feng Sheng snorted angrily, "Even if Zhu Silang has bad intentions, he would not be stupid enough to do something to his grandson!"

Besides, is it true that Emperor Zhu has no other backup plan?

He was certain that there would be countless Jin Yiwei along the way.

‘How long has it been? Emperor Zhu has become too fast. Zhu Silang is becoming more and more trusted. What is Zhu Silang's future end position? ’

Feng Sheng couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He could see through Emperor Zhu's testing intention at a glance.

But is there any other intention?

For example, the jade seal passed down from the country.

Is Taisun Taisun's trip to Liaodong just for passing on the imperial seal?

Grandson is just a cover.

Is Zhu Silang the Emperor Zhu’s trump card to usher in the imperial seal?

For a moment, Feng Sheng thought a lot.

After gathering his thoughts, his eyes fell on the servant again, "Zhu Silang Academy exam, did you pass?"

The servant nodded, "I won. This is the first place in the first class of this year's academy exam. Lu Ben, the Minister of Rites, was overthrown by Zhu Silang..."

Wow!

If Zhu Xiongying comes to Liaodong, Feng Sheng will be able to sit still.

But when he heard that Zhu Di had passed the exam and Lu Ben was knocked down by Zhu Di using ventriloquism, Feng Sheng was startled and his face was particularly solemn.

The servant finished his report.

Feng Sheng waved his hand.

Chang Mao was awakened by the servant closing the door and murmured in disbelief, "Zhu Silang still has such ability? Lu Ben is also a loser. With unprecedented difficulty, Zhu Silang actually passed the exam and still ranked first in Class A?"

He couldn't accept it.

Is this the same Zhu Silang he mocked last winter?

How did he mock Zhu Silang at that time?

It seems to say: Zhu Silang was born with muddy legs.

That's probably what it means.

But when we meet again, Zhu Silang will be a scholar?

Feng Sheng glanced at him and said, "Lu Ben will definitely not let Zhu Silang go, it's Zhu Silang who is so powerful!"

Emperor Zhu felt proud this time.

He just wasn't in Jinling.

One can all imagine how Emperor Zhu was showing off.

Feng Jiageng studied in the family heirloom, and no one in the family dared to take the imperial examination.

The ancestors of Lao Zhu's family are mud-legged people from the 18th generation.

Zhu Silang actually gave Emperor Zhu the first place in the first-class examination.

In the autumn, we have to catch up with Qiuwei and continue to sprint for the provincial examination...

All the good things happened to Lao Zhu's family.

At this time, what was Emperor Zhu's plan for sending such an outstanding son to Liaodong?

Is it for the purpose of passing on the national jade seal?

If you really let Zhu Silang help Emperor Zhu find the jade seal passed down to the country.

He, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, seems so incompetent!

After thinking about this, Feng Sheng secretly clenched his fists, and a cold light flashed in his eyes...

‘It’s best not to pass on the imperial seal, otherwise I wouldn’t dare touch my great-grandson, but I have the ability to let your outstanding son sacrifice his life for the country in Liaodong when you, Emperor Zhu, can’t find any reason to do so! ’

…

Dongchang Fort.

"Seriously?" Zhu Neng stared excitedly at the dusty Tan Yuan trio.

Tan Yuan smiled and nodded: "It's absolutely true, the Governor said it himself."

Snapped!

Zhu Neng stroked his hands and said, "The fourth ghost is here, we can have a big fight!"

Qiu Fu smiled, and now that Gui Lao Si was here, he became more confident and asked, "Did Gui Lao Si pass the exam?"

"I won!" Zhou Lang grinned and said excitedly: "Not only did he win, he also ranked first in Class A!"

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng's eyes widened and their lips opened slightly.

After a while, Zhu Neng shook his head and murmured, "The fourth ghost still has this ability. Is there smoke rising from the graves of our old Zhu family?"

Qiu Fu smiled and dismissed the three of them, pacing back and forth excitedly, "The fourth ghost is here. We finally have a reliable candidate for our special army."

"I'm going to see my elder brother tonight and tell him the news that the fourth ghost is coming to Liaodong. After we became sworn brothers, we haven't really joined forces to fight a war. This time we finally have a chance."

…

Feng Sheng and Qiu Fu in Liaodong, with different moods and purposes, were eagerly waiting for Zhu Di's arrival.

Another two months passed.

Zhu Di's uncle and nephew slowly entered Peiping.

According to the speed of going north last year, it took so long to return from Liaodong and return to Peiping.

Beiping.

Prince Qin's Mansion.

Yao Guangxiao walked steadily towards the palace courtyard of Zhu Xi and Princess Guanyinnu.

'Poor monk, I finally waited for this stock wind. ’

‘Zhu Silang, Zhu Silang, first place in Class A! It's a pity...you don't have the ambition to reach the top, but you still can't help yourself and start to get involved. ’

'You still don't understand that without power, you will always be someone else's pawn, and you can never do whatever you want. You can adapt to whatever the emperor asks you to do, but you can't escape after all...'

…

Wow!

Yao Guangxiao's thoughts went up and down until the sound of a baby crying reached his ears...

stamp.

Look up...

Already arrived outside the palace courtyard.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "It's time for a showdown with King Qin. The east wind is about to rise, and the general trend of the world should also change accordingly..."
