Chapter 397: Chen Li and Ming Sheng
Most of the kings of the dead country did not end well, and Mingsheng was very worried that he would follow in the footsteps of some of his predecessors, and after the surrender of the city, he was escorted to Yingtian by boat. Along the way, he was terrified, but fortunately, his boat did not sink inexplicably like Han Lin'er's boat.
Mingsheng lived in Honglu Temple for a few days, and the food and clothing supply was not bad at all, and the officials of Honglu Temple were also thoughtful and respectful to him, which made him feel a lot more at ease. Although he and Zhu Yuanzhang did not meet, the two countries sent envoys to each other during his reign.
Mingsheng also gave Lao Zhu a lot of golden silk nanmu and Bashu specialties for building palaces, although they attacked each other, they did not have a deep hatred, forgive Lao Zhu should not take him well.
The child obviously didn't know much about Lao Zhu's routine, he originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would be kind to him, but who knew that when he saw Lao Zhu, he only fell into a scolding of his head and face, until he was about to cry with red eyes, and he got a few good words from him.
As for what Lao Zhu said, Mingsheng didn't remember at all, he only had a vicious black face in his impression, which caused him to have nightmares for several days, until Lao Zhu issued a holy decree to confer him on the righteous marquis, and the heart he was hanging on fell into his stomach.
Although the mansion given to him by Lao Zhu is not big, it is very luxurious, comparable to his palace in Chongqing, and the clothes and food are not bad at all, but the palace guards guarding the door made him more uneasy, saying that they were here to protect him, but he knew that he was here to monitor and restrain him.
There were not only the guards who watched him, but also those servants and maids, and even when they went to the hut, they felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him, which was by no means suspicious of ghosts. His mother, Peng, sprinkled some thin incense ash on the floor of the study at night, and the next morning she saw a huge footprint.
A few days ago, the Ying Tian Soldiers and Horses Command Division searched for the remnants of the White Lotus in the city, and there was a bloody storm, and I don't know how many people were beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market. This made him even more uncomfortable, and all his good mood was gone, not to mention that the house gate was even reluctant to go out, and he was extremely depressed and depressed.
As soon as I got up on this day, after washing up under the waiter of the maid, a guard came to report that it was a visit from Guide Hou, and the guard's expression was quite strange.
Mingsheng is even more strange, which one is this Guidehou? He didn't have such an acquaintance in Yingtian, but in an instant, he figured out who was coming, and said, "No! ”
It is reasonable for Mingsheng to do this, but not just to avoid it, his father Ming Yuzhen and Chen Youliang originally belonged to the same Tianwan regime, and I don't know who took the name, this regime will be over in a few days, Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui and changed the name of the country to Han, loyal Xu Shouhui Ming Yuzhen and Chen Youliang turned their faces into enemies.
So Ma Du was mistaken, Mingsheng and Chen Li are actually natural enemies, not natural friends of bullshit, Chen Li suddenly visited inexplicably, and it is strange that Mingsheng is willing to see him.
Seeing that the guards were walking away, he suddenly patted his head and shouted to the guards: "Hurry up and ask Gui Dehou to come to the hall for tea, and Benhou will go to accompany him after washing up." ”
It's not that he suddenly has to figure out something, it's just that he wonders why Chen Li can come to him so freely as a guest as the king of the dead country, could it be that there is some way?
Soon he saw Chen Li in the living room, his mental outlook was much better than he imagined, not as decadent and depressed as himself, and he began to chat after a while.
Although the two are a few years apart, they both have special professional experience, but they have a common language and talk happily. Mingsheng felt that the heat was almost over, so he said: "I don't know something, and I ask Brother Chen to teach me!" ”
When he saw that there were two servant maids in the house, he wanted to say something and leave, but Chen Li said: "No, I know what Brother Ming wants to ask, when I first arrived in Yingtian, I was like you all day long and depressed and depressed, but after a long time, I learned that the emperor was generous and benevolent, and never restricted our freedom." ”
Mingsheng was surprised: "Could it be that there are no guards in Brother Chen's mansion?" ”
Chen Li reprimanded: "This is wrong, it was sent by the emperor to protect us, if Brother Ming feels depressed, I will take you to a free and happy place." ”
Mingsheng hesitated for a moment before he said, "Brother Chen, let me go and ask my mother!" ”
Who knew that there was a woman's voice in the back hall, "If my son is depressed at home, even if he goes with Guidehou, don't remember him as a mother." ”
Mingsheng's mother Peng is not a simple woman, and Mingsheng is obviously mixed with Chen Lihao in Goryeo, so his mother's help is indispensable.
When Mingsheng's feet stepped out of the mansion gate, his eyes couldn't help but look at the guards guarding the door, they did not stop him, but followed him silently, this was the first time he stepped out of the mansion door.
He noticed that there were also a few guards behind Chen Li, and Chen Li whispered to him: "Don't care about them, just don't see them." ”
The two got on the horse, Chen Li led him out of the city, and Mingsheng asked curiously, "Brother Chen, where are you going?" Isn't it going to the Qinhuai River? ”
The name of the Qinhuai River was also heard in Chongqing, and when he entered the city by boat, he passed through the Qinhuai River, and the smell of fat powder in the dense mist made him yearn for it. Chen Li told him that he was taking him to a free and happy place, and he couldn't help but think of the Qinhuai River.
Chen Li smiled and said: "You may be able to find some fun when you go to Qinhuai River, but you don't have freedom." ”
After leaving the city, it was not long before passing through a huge construction site, and the people in uniform were busy and orderly. Mingsheng also saw that there were many young people in scholarly robes like Chen Li, running around the construction site.
Although it was early winter, they all looked like they were sweating, and they scolded those people in a hoarse voice from time to time, and the beautiful scholar's robes were smeared dirty, and some of them had big cracks, and the whole person looked a little embarrassed, and there was really no gentlemanly elegance that a scholar should have.
Mingsheng smiled, turned back to Chen Li and said, "It's the first time I've seen these readers, it's really interesting!" ”
But Chen Li looked at the envy in those young people's eyes, "It should be very interesting, otherwise they would be so busy!" He looked up at a section of the city wall that had been built, and said to himself, "They must have a sense of accomplishment in building such a majestic wall with their own hands, maybe I should come too!" ”
A student on the construction site whose chest was black saw Chen Li shouting loudly in a hoarse voice: "Chen Li! This voice seemed to be just to attract Chen Li's attention, only to see him stick out his thumb and point to the ground.
Mingsheng asked curiously, "What is he doing here?" ”
Chen Li smiled, "He's laughing at me!" ”
At the age of the second teenager in Mingsheng, he thought that Chen Li's identity as the king of the country had been humiliated like this, and he suddenly felt empathy, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You are also the emperor's Gui Hou, how dare they be so rude!" ”
"No, they have the right to laugh at me!"
