Chapter 701: The Wind Has Changed
The conspiracy in this is difficult for outsiders to fathom, but the people in one of the camps are very clear, even if there is no evidence, the crown princess also understands that it must be Wang Xian's subordinates who are making trouble in it - just as even if there is no evidence, she will believe that it was the people of King Han and Ji Gang who kidnapped Xu Miaojin and forced Wang Xian to get on the ship, and wanted to give her father a good look.
Zhang was not dissatisfied with the fate of her nephew and concubine, because she knew that if she did not thwart the other party's conspiracy, her husband, son, and even the whole family would end up even worse. No one has ever been spared from the dethroned prince, not to mention that the prince's two younger brothers are already so heartbroken......
What she is really worried about is what happened between Wang Xian and Xu Miaojin? Originally, she was just a little blind guessing, but after looking at Xu Miaojin's appearance in front of Lin Qing'er, she really looked too much like a thief!
Thinking of that possibility, Zhang couldn't help but shudder, hurriedly rubbed his face, and muttered in a low voice: "I hope I'm too careful, it's me who is too careful......" Before the idea was confirmed, she couldn't even talk about the prince, so she could only look at it first and then talk about it, I hope she thought too much, I hope she thought too much, .......
Xu Miaojin only saw the crown princess and Lin Qing'er, and all the guests after him blocked the car. Including the crown prince and the king of Han, they were all frightened by her maid as a real person, and they needed to recuperate, and they were blocked from the door when they met again in the future. The two indescribably noble Chitose Highnesses can only honestly go home, who let it be their aunt......
However, when Zhu Gaochu came out, he happened to meet Zhu Gaochi getting out of the car, and His Royal Highness the King of Han stepped forward with a black face. After the Jinchuanmen incident, this is the first time that the two have met each other.
Zhu Gaochi looked at his second brother with a smile, Xu Miaojin returned safely, and his biggest crisis was lifted, so he couldn't help but be unhappy......
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Gaochi who looked like a fat pig with a gloomy face, and couldn't wait to light him on the sky lantern. This time, stealing chickens and rice was not successful, not to mention the loss of his son, and he also lost his face! Although the news of Zhu Zhanqi's matter is tightly sealed and can never be announced, how can there be an impermeable wall in this world? What's more, it is the fastest-spreading peachy news.
That incident had already spread in the small circle of ministers and civil officials in the capital......
"Second brother, come and see my aunt." Seeing that Zhu Gaochu didn't open his mouth, Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to speak first.
"Hmph." Zhu Gaoxu snorted and said, "Auntie, no one is seen, please go back too." ”
"Oh." Zhu Gaochi nodded lightly and said, "Auntie is gone, I still have to say hello for my brother." As he spoke, he stepped forward with the support of the two little eunuchs.
When the two brothers' figures were staggered, Zhu Gaochu suddenly said sharply: "Zhu Gaochi, do you still have humanity?!" ”
"Second brother," Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly, "Why is there no humanity for brother?" ”
"Humanity, you can your nephew and siblings like that?" Zhu Gaoxu lowered his voice, his eyes erupted into flames, and said, "You deliberately let your father see it, are you still human?!" ”
"What do you say?" Zhu Gaochi's face sank, and his fat face was full of anger: "What kind of person am I? How could you do such a thing?! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded and suppressed his anger: "Second brother, I know you are very angry now, no one wants to see this kind of thing happen, but since it happened, ...... it."
"Look, you obviously know, you pretended not to know just now." Zhu Gaoxu said sarcastically: "It's not like you did it, there is such a scandal in your own family, you can still laugh as an uncle, how can you say that you are not a human being and still wronged you!" ”
"The reason why I pretend not to know is because I don't want the scandal to be publicized!" Zhu Gaochi trembled angrily, "If this happens, how can you ask me?" You don't want to be ashamed enough to continue arguing? You're happy to make it all over the city?! ”
"You ......" The prince said something that made King Han speechless, gritted his teeth, and said with a black face: "Don't pretend to be an outsider here, I will be humiliated by you today, and I will pay it back in the future!" Just wait! After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
Zhu Gaochi was almost stumbled by King Han's sleeve, and he was busy supporting him, no matter how good His Royal Highness the Prince's qi cultivation efforts were, his face was also very unsightly. It took a while to settle down, dress up, and personally talk to the Dao Gu who guarded the door, Dao Gu was very respectful to His Royal Highness the Prince, but still stopped him.
The prince was not surprised, so he asked the left and right to offer some nourishing medicines, and asked the Taoist aunt to say hello, so he left Tianxiang Nunnery and went home......
When he returned to the prince's mansion, Zhu Gaochi heard that Yang Shiqi and Xue Juzheng were coming, so he asked them to invite them to the study, and after changing their clothes, they also went to the study to meet the two with Zhu Zhanqi's support.
"Your Highness, I heard that Xu Zhenren has returned safely." As soon as the two saw Zhu Zhanji, they both got up and congratulated: "It's really a Ji person who has his own natural appearance." "This praise is good, and it praises Xu Miaojin and the prince.
"Hehe, yes, the big stone in Lone's heart has finally landed." Zhu Gaochi smiled reluctantly, waved his hand and said, "Please sit down ...... both."
Yang Shiqi and Xue Juzheng originally looked at the prince, thinking that they could rejoice with the monarch and the ministers, but found that His Royal Highness the prince was not as excited as they imagined, but sat down a little sluggishly. Both of them were a little surprised, so they sat down quietly and waited for Zhu Gaochi to speak.
Zhu Gaochi rubbed his temples, feeling that his head was not so dizzy, only to find that the two of them were not talking, he hurriedly put down his hand, "I'm sorry two, I suddenly have a headache, what's the matter with you?" ”
"Your Highness, the capital has been under martial law for half a month, which has caused great inconvenience to the lives of the people." Xue Juzheng saw that Yang Shiqi didn't mean to speak, so he said first: "Now that the real person has returned safely, does it mean that the crisis can be over and you can contact martial law?" ”
"Hmm." Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said, "I think it's okay, what does Master Yang think?" ”
"That's what the minister meant." Yang Shiqi nodded hurriedly. The martial law in the capital was nominally to prevent the abduction of Xu Miaojin, Zhu Zhanqi, and Princess Zhao from happening again and again, but in the specific implementation, it had evolved into an action by the people of the Han Dynasty to control the defense of the capital and the people of the discipline to expand their power, and the civilian officials were naturally eager to lift the martial law as soon as possible.
"Then let's lift it." Zhu Gaochi nodded, but laughed self-deprecatingly: "I just don't know how many people will obey this order......
When Yang Xue and the others heard the prince's words, they were both shocked, but what they thought was different. What Xue Juzheng was thinking was that the situation was actually corrupted, and was it true that the decree would not leave the Prince's Mansion? Yang Shiqi was surprised by the prince's attitude - this is very different from the prince's consistent style of emphasizing brotherhood, friendliness and brotherhood, and ********!
Could it be that the prince has made up his mind? Yang Shiqi's gaze suddenly became solemn.
Zhu Gaochi seemed to realize that he was speechless, and hurriedly smiled: "I'm very dizzy, don't take it seriously what nonsense I said." Xue Fuyin, the matter of lifting martial law is entrusted to you. ”
"Yes, retire for the minister." Xue Juzheng naturally knew that the prince was sending off guests, so he got up and retired.
"Jun'er, send Master Xue on my behalf." Zhu Gaochi nodded and instructed his second son.
"Yes, father." Zhu Zhanjun responded and accompanied Xue Juzheng out......
As soon as Xue Juzheng and Zhu Zhanjun left, only the prince and Yang Shiqi were left in the study.
The relationship between Yang Shiqi and the prince seems to outsiders to be very ordinary. There is no personal relationship between the two, and Yang Shiqi never goes to the door of the prince's mansion during the New Year's holidays, which is completely different from the rest of the bachelors who have lectured in the East Palace, but no, Emperor Yongle will not let him stay to assist and monitor the prince every time he goes on patrol.
But in fact, it's just that Yang Shiqi is an official and is extremely cautious. It has something to do with his experience...... Unlike those colleagues who were young in the Jinshi, Dian Hanlin, high-spirited, and the first and second of the Heavenly King Laozi, Yang Shiqi's life was very bumpy, he was born in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, and was born to face famine and war, and lost his father at the age of one, and later remarried with his mother and had a stepfather.
His stepfather was strict and arrogant, and never gave him a good look, even if he was only five or six years old at the time, Yang Shiqi could clearly feel that the only thing he could do was to be careful every day and try not to cause trouble, so as not to cause trouble for himself and his mother.
But no matter how hard it was, Yang Shiqi didn't give up studying. Because only by studying can you gain fame and change the fate of yourself and your mother. And his talent is indeed very high, and he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of fifteen. It's just that studying is really a matter of money, and due to his poor family, he had to interrupt his studies and go to a rural private school to become a teacher. However, it was the early years of the dynasty, and there was a shortage of talents, so the imperial court had to directly select officials in Xiucai, so Yang Shiqi was able to do a training in the county. Although it is an official position that does not enter the stream, it is also an official anyway.
It's a pity that not long after, he accidentally lost the school seal, in this era, the loss of the seal letter of the official is a serious crime, and it coincides with the era when Zhu Yuanzhang was murderous, Yang Shiqi was afraid, and he abandoned the official and fled......
After that, he lived in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, did not dare to return to his family, and hid in Tibet everywhere, until he was reformed and amnesty was granted to the world, and he got rid of the identity of a prisoner...... However, wandering around is not without benefits, and with his profound education, he has met many famous literati.
Later, in the second year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen summoned Confucian scholars from all over the world to write "The Record of Taizu", and the 36-year-old Yang Shiqi was also promoted as a compilation because of his solid historical skills, and he was completely whitewashed. Later, because of his profound education and noble character, he was appreciated by the official filial piety of the president of "Taizu Record", and he was actually promoted to vice president in one fell swoop!
Although this vice president has no rank, it means that he has been recognized by the civil officials, accepted him as a part of them, and is at a very high level, and this is finally the end of the day.
