Chapter 225 Yao Guangxiao Challenges Zhu Di

"You will prepare the stay for Xiongying and the others. The palace next to the princess and I is empty, so we will prepare this palace for them..."

"I would like to thank Your Highness for being willing to entrust such an important matter to me.

…

Zhu Fang and Lu Ben came out of the study to communicate.

Zhu Xi glanced at Lu Ben and smiled...

Since he knew that his father and elder brother did not trust him, he would definitely not interfere too much in this matter.

Even if Lu Ben didn't come to ask for help, he would leave this matter to Lu Ben.

If something happened to Xiongying here, he couldn't afford it.

"That's right." Zhu Xi thought of something, suddenly stamped his feet and turned around, "If there is anyone in the world who understands Lao Si's talents, you are definitely one of them."

Humiliating?

The corners of Lu Ben's lips moved imperceptibly, trying hard to suppress the roiling feeling of humiliation.

What do you mean, he counts as one?

Just because, in order to make Zhu Silang fail the exam, he went out of Yingtian Mansion and asked unprecedentedly difficult questions in the college examination?

Zhu Fang didn't care about Lu Ben's mood, "Tell me, can the fourth child pass the exam in time for autumn?"

Yao Guangxiao was very confident that his fourth son had continuously sprinted for the imperial examination.

It is predicted that the fourth child will definitely pass the Jinshi examination.

It is even possible to enter the top ten in the general examination and sprint for the palace examination.

In Yao Guangxiao's plan, once the fourth child succeeds in consecutive sprint trials, the plan will be officially implemented.

Even if the father does not tell the world: Zhu Silang is the King of Yan Zhu Di.

Yao Guangxiao also suggested that he spread the news through various channels.

Should he follow Yao Guangxiao's plan to fight for the heir apparent?

We must think carefully before the conference next spring.

If he is determined to fight for the heir apparent, he will plot against the fourth son for the first time, so that the news that "Yan King Zhu Di passed four tests in a row and became a high school Jinshi" will spread all over the world.

Lu Ben secretly spied on Zhu Xiang, but could not see through the purpose of Zhu Xiang's inquiry, "Maybe he cares about Zhu Silang, or maybe he is jealous of Zhu Silang." ’

"Your Highness, in terms of difficulty, this year's Yingtianfu Academy exam is basically the same as the Qiu Wei Juren exam. Zhu Silang has a high probability of passing the exam."

shame!

Let him affirm Zhu Silang, this is the greatest humiliation to him!

"Where's the Jinshi?"

The anger in Lu Ben's eyes flashed away, and he bowed and said, "Your Highness, Jinshi officials cannot judge."

Zhu Fang looked at Lu Ben, who was bowing his head, and couldn't help but smile. Lu Ben's tone was a bit wrong, and he waved his hand and said, "I know, you can go and do your work."

"I retire.

Watching Lu Ben leave, Zhu Xi smiled and whistled as he left...

…

A few days later.

Beiping.

The south gate was under martial law by the King of Qin's personal guards.

Zhu Xi led a group of officials and stood waiting outside the city gate.

Ta-ta-ta...

Amidst the rapid sound of hoofbeats, a horse galloped forward, a hundred paces away. Before the horse could stand up, the scout had already nimbly turned over and dismounted.

He trotted to Zhu Xi and said, "Your Majesty, I met my grandson five miles away."

"Um."

Zhu Xi nodded and waved. After dismissing the scouts, he turned to Lu Ben and said, "You should be very clear about what heroes like to eat and what they like to use. Are you ready?"

"Your Highness, I am fully preparing according to my grandson's habit in the East Palace..."

…

Yao Guangxiao stood on the other side, listening to the conversation and staring straight ahead.

For some reason, the meeting with Zhu Silang got closer and closer.

The inexplicable irritability became more and more intense.

It even overwhelmed Zhu Silang's excitement about entering the game.

…

Squeak...squeak...

After a long journey, the ruts became dry and the noise became more frequent.

Zhu Tie was lying on the cart, holding a medical book, and said while reading: "Fourth brother, when you get to Peking, let your second brother help repair this cart. The noise has become louder and louder these days. I think It’s so noisy that I can’t even sleep.”

…

The words fell and I didn't wait for a response for a long time.

Zhu Xi put down the book and raised his head...

He saw Zhu Xiongying sitting on the side and looking up at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh. The hand holding the book poked Zhu Di in the back, "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Di came back to his senses and looked away from the tall Beiping City in the distance.

He never entered Beiping City before going to Liaodong or returning.

This city, for 'him', has too many fateful entanglements.

The starting point of Jingnan.

The capital of Ming Dynasty.

This all has something to do with ‘him’.

Especially when he met Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, Zhang Wu, Tan Yuan, and Zhang Yu last time, he didn't even want to enter Beiping City at that time.

But it seems like I can't escape.

I still have to go in this time.

However, fortunately, history has changed. There is no Prince Yan's Mansion in Beiping City now, only the second brother's Prince Qin's Mansion.

Turning his head, he saw Xiongying looking at him curiously, rubbing his head with a smile, and looking at Zhu Ru angrily.

This bastard was so beautiful along the way.

Except for leaving the cart when seeing unfamiliar plants, most of the time I just lay on the cart with a book.

On the contrary, Xiongying was curious all the way. During the day, he kept his eyes wide open and observed the scenery along the way, never getting tired of it.

"There are many people waiting at the city gate. As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, you look like a prince. Get up!"

When Zhu Di heard that Zhu Di's tone was wrong, he got up and said, "Xiongying, Uncle Wu will hug you!"

As he spoke, he held Zhu Xiongying and sat on the other side of the car.

…

Dahuang pulled the cart slowly closer.

There were still about a hundred steps away, so Zhu Ping hurried up to meet him with a smile.

"Fourth child."

When he met Zhu Di, he gave him a bear hug first, and then punched Zhu Di when Zhu Di was not prepared.

"Xiongying, let your second uncle see if you have suffered."

...

"Greetings to the Crown Prince and the King of Zhou."

When Zhu Chong and Zhu Di were talking, Lv Ben took the lead to salute Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Su.

The local officials of Beiping and the officials of the Prince of Qin followed suit.

After the salute, they looked at Zhu Di, and then at Lv Ben who was unmoved. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

They all knew that this time, in addition to the King of Zhou, there was also Zhu Di who was demoted to a commoner and disappeared for more than a year to escort the Crown Prince to the north.

The driver of the carriage was obviously the former King of Yan, Zhu Di.

How should he be addressed?

Lv Ben is the father-in-law of the Crown Prince. Lv Ben directly ignored the King of Yan. Does it represent the attitude of the Crown Prince?

Lv Ben glanced at Zhu Di with his eyes, and the corners of his lips slightly raised...

He did it on purpose.

The officials of the Prince of Qin looked at Zhu Chong one after another.

Zhu Chong's face darkened and he was secretly angry.

Lü Ben was playing tricks on his territory!

The fourth brother might mistakenly think that he arranged it!

He dared to do this when he just arrived. If he monitors him in the future, will he still be aggressive?

Yao Guangxiao glanced at Lü Ben and smiled secretly. Lü Ben was in Beiping and would soon prompt the King of Qin to make up his mind to fight for the throne.

Zhu Xiongying was held by Zhu Su. He glanced at Lü Ben, his face wrinkled slightly, and he stretched out his hand to Zhu Di, "Fourth Uncle."

Zhu Xiongying's voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.

'Xiongying is great, Fourth Brother's love along the way was not in vain.'

Zhu Su smiled and handed Zhu Xiongying to Zhu Di with a smile.

Along the way, Xiongying abused Fourth Brother badly. He was very tired from traveling every day, and Xiongying slept very deeply every night.

So, every night, the Dragon King had to "flood", and Fourth Brother woke up in the vast ocean almost every day.

Then he washed Xiongying's clothes.

He was secretly glad that Xiongying didn't sleep with him.

"Greetings, Prince of Yan!" Seeing Zhu Xiongying climbing on Zhu Di's shoulders, local officials in Beiping and officials of the Prince of Qin's Palace immediately had their own opinions and saluted.

Lü Ben was only the father-in-law of the prince.

He could represent the prince to a certain extent.

But the grandson was the prince's legitimate son.

He was also the legitimate third-generation heir of the Ming Dynasty.

The grandson represented not only the prince, but also the attitude of the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty towards Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan.

Lü Ben secretly peeked at Zhu Xiongying, who was very close to Zhu Di, and quietly clenched his fists...

Why?

How could this happen?

How could Zhu Xiongying get so close to Zhu Silang so quickly?

He often went in and out of the East Palace and knew Zhu Xiongying very well.

A typical brat!

There were countless people in the East Palace who wanted to curry favor with the grandson of the emperor, and he was no exception in the past.

But Zhu Xiongying's attitude towards them was always polite, but not very close.

How long have Zhu Silang and Zhu Xiongying been together?

Less than three months at most!

Is Zhu Silang so good at bewitching people?

Not to mention Lü Ben was shocked, Zhu Chong and others were also very surprised.

‘Variables! ’

Yao Guangxiao muttered to himself, frowning slightly.

“Okay, Lü Ben and Master Daoyan stay, you all go away.” Zhu Chong waved his hand.

Zhu Di glanced at Daoyan deeply.

As soon as he saw him, he recognized Yao Guangxiao.

He was very surprised that this monk with a wisdom close to that of a demon actually appeared in Beiping again as a monk official beside his second brother.

History has changed.

But there are still many lines that stubbornly rush forward along the established trajectory.

"Fourth brother, your second sister-in-law has given birth and cannot come out to greet you. She is waiting in the palace. Let's go back to the palace." Zhu Di came back to his senses and asked with a smile: "Is it a boy or a girl?" "We are not as good as you and Miaoyun. We only gave birth to a boy." ... Yao Guangxiao followed behind, looking at Zhu Di's back. Just now he noticed that Zhu Di was observing him, very obscurely, but it suddenly made him feel cold all over. Soon, the group returned to the Qin Palace. They came to the palace where Zhu Chong and his wife lived on a daily basis. Guanyin Nu was already waiting outside the palace. "Fourth brother." When she saw Zhu Di, she smiled and greeted him cordially: "Why didn't you bring Miaoyun to the north this time?" She was particularly grateful to her fourth brother and Miaoyun. Zhu Di smiled and greeted: "Yongming and Qihua are still too young." ... The two sides chatted for a while. Zhu Di went to see his nephew, and then Zhu Chong led Zhu Di and his party to the next palace, introducing as they walked: "All this was arranged by Lü Ben, and the main hall was arranged according to Xiongying's daily habits in the East Palace..."

While speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhu Xiongying who was climbing on Zhu Di's shoulder, "Xiongying, go and see if you like it later, if it suits your taste, if not, Second Uncle will immediately have someone change it according to your habits."

Zhu Xiongying raised his head, "Second Uncle, where does Fourth Uncle live? Xiongying wants to live with Fourth Uncle."

Zhu Chong and Lü Ben looked at him in astonishment.

Zhu Chong smiled and explained: "Second Brother, Xiongying has lived with Fourth Brother all the way."

While speaking, he subconsciously looked at Zhu Di.

If it weren't for Fourth Brother's previous lesson, he would definitely reveal Xiongying's bedwetting.

After leaving Yizhen County, Fourth Brother found an opportunity to talk to him alone for a long time.

Fourth brother considers him, but he still has to follow his father's instructions and do things behind his fourth brother's back that are not to be seen.

It's so torturous!

Should I confess to my fourth brother?

'Variables! '

Yao Guangxiao glanced at Zhu Di and Zhu Xiongying, and became more certain that the biggest change in his plan had already occurred before it even started.

Zhu Chong glanced at Yao Guangxiao calmly.

He reached out and touched Zhu Xiongying's head, and said with a smile: "Your fourth uncle's residence is on the left side of the main hall, and your fifth uncle is on the right side of the main hall."

"Let's go, second uncle will take you to see it."

After looking at the residence, Zhu Chong pointed at Yao Guangxiao, "Old Four, this is Daoyan, the monk sent by my father to my side. Daoyan told me that you once met, and you and Miaoyun even took him in for breakfast."

"Daoyan is very good at chess. It's still a while before dinner, why don't you play a game of chess and let's see."

He was eager to see who was stronger, Yao Guangxiao or Old Four.

The game was one-sided.

But he could also get a glimpse of it.

"The trip to Tuqiao Village that day was not the true face of Mount Lu, I hope King Yan will forgive me." Yao Guangxiao put his hands together and said with a smile: "I also want to play a game of chess with King Yan."

Zhu Xiongying looked at him eagerly.

Zhu Chong smiled and said nothing.

Only Lu Ben frowned slightly. He felt something was strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

However, he also wanted to see Zhu Silang play chess.

You can learn a lot from watching chess!

"Fourth brother, agree to the monk!" Zhu Su was eager to try.
