Chapter 317: Mu Ying Is Worried About Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying, and Zhu Di Flees

Chapter 317 Mu Ying is worried about Zhu Biao Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Di is running away!

The little lotus has just shown its pointed tip, and a dragonfly has already landed on it. ɱ

Small building and courtyard.

The scenery of the lotus pond in early summer is also very elegant and has a unique charm.

The joyful sound of the piano floats out from behind the attic of the courtyard.

The maids and servants passing by always couldn't help but stop and take a look, secretly smile, whisper something, and leave quietly if others can't hear it.

For fear of disturbing the elegance of the courtyard.

Under the weeping willows by the pond.

A family of four.

Xu Miaoyun played the piano for her husband and children, and from time to time she looked up and smiled at the big and two children playing by the pond.

The two little guys are already one and a half years old.

Climbing in Zhu Di's arms.

Whenever Zhu Di pinched a little steamed bun crumbs and threw them into the water, a group of colorful koi appeared.

The two little guys were particularly excited.

Reaching out to the water, he struggled in Zhu Di's arms, as if he wanted to jump into the water and play with the fish.

Zhu Di held him tightly.

Whenever this happened, the two little guys kept shouting "Daddy, Daddy".

...

They were all in a happy mood.

The housekeeper Liu Shu hurried to the gate of the courtyard with the visiting card.

Hearing the two little guys' childish voices calling "Daddy", he stamped his feet, looked down, and muttered softly: "Marquis Xiping is the same, why can't he come anytime, but at this time."

Everyone in the mansion was reluctant to disturb the young lady and the son-in-law's family.

Marquis Xiping was fine.

Liu Shu stamped his feet and walked in.

Mu Ying was not an ordinary noble.

He was the adopted son of His Majesty and the Queen.

Even the son-in-law had to call him brother when he saw him.

Footsteps were heard.

Xu Miaoyun stopped playing the piano, and Zhu Di turned around after hearing the noise...

Uncle Liu hurriedly took a few steps, "Son-in-law, Marquis Xiping came to visit you, this is a visiting card."

Zhu Di took the visiting card and looked at it, turned his head, and smiled bitterly, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the discussion in the city these days that alarmed my elder brother."

The last time he finished the spring examination, when Mu Ying returned to the city in triumph, the two met.

During this period, they also met several times.

But they just nodded and said hello.

Mu Ying deliberately kept a distance from him.

He didn't think about making friends with anyone.

It has been two years since he came to Daming, and the two sides have not had a formal conversation.

Today, Mu Ying took the initiative to come to the door, and you can guess why.

After Hu Weiyong resigned for the second time, the news spread, and the people talked about it, and the topic went off the track.

They actually wanted him to be the left prime minister.

It can only be said that the simplicity in the hearts of the people is too cute.

Even the discussion involved my elder brother, and the things that happened in the ninth year of Hongwu were also turned up.

I think he can't be the left prime minister.

It must be the elder brother who is obstructing it.

He doesn't know, is this the result of someone behind the scenes fanning the flames and guiding it?

Or is it the people's speculation and judgment based on the information they have obtained?

Although, in the past few days, he and Miaoyun have been staying in the mansion and rarely go out.

But it is certain that these voices of the people must have caused undercurrents in the court.

Many people want to see him and his elder brother turn against each other.

Zhu Di closed the visiting card, "Uncle Liu, please invite Xiping Hou to the attic courtyard."

"Hey!"

The housekeeper responded and left with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun frowned slightly, "You don't go out, but greet him in the courtyard. Are you treating your elder brother badly?"

Although after the founding of the country, Mu Ying changed back to his original surname.

But no matter what, Mu Ying is a member of the royal family.

Hum!

Zhu Di snorted with a smile: "Brother is clearly here to criticize me. I accepted the visiting card and invited him in. It's good enough to give him a chance to teach and criticize me. If I go out to greet him, wouldn't that be sending my head to him to be criticized?"

"Does your husband have no temper?"

Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but laugh.

She just liked the way Silang lost his temper.

Zhu Di immediately said: "Wait a few more days. If the old man doesn't arrange for me to be an official, we will go back to the village. It's not good to stay at Taishan's house all the time..."

Xu Miaoyun nodded.

She knew why Silang wanted to leave.

The situation was getting worse and worse.

In the future, there might be many people like big brother Mu Ying who would come to the door.

Silang was worried and continued to stay in his father's house.

Outsiders would resist and reject the Xu Mansion because they resisted, rejected and feared Silang.

……

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun talked and came to the outside of the courtyard with the two little guys in their arms.

After a while.

Mu Ying followed Uncle Liu and appeared in sight.

Mu Ying saw Zhu Di and his wife from a distance and could not help but quicken his pace.

"Old Four!"

"Big Brother."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, the young couple took Mu Ying to the lotus pond behind the attic.

Mu Ying looked at the piano on the stone table with weeping willows and the steamed bun crumbs by the pond, and put these details together, and his mind pictured the scene just now.

He, a bad guest, disturbed the happy family of four!

He collected his thoughts and looked at Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun, "It's so noisy outside, you are really so elegant."

Didn't care at all.

Or was he confident enough?

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun understood what Mu Ying meant: You should have heard about what happened outside, right? What exactly do you want to do?

Zhu Di smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Please Mu Ying to sit down at the stone table.

Xu Miaoyun moved the piano away and put it aside. He slowly lit the small clay stove on the stone table and made tea for the two.

Zhu Di held the two little guys in his arms and watched Xu Miaoyun's elegant movements of making tea. He shifted his gaze to Mu Ying and said with a smile: "As long as our old man is here, no one can make a difference. Big brother puts his heart in his stomach. Now that he is here, , try Miaoyun’s tea making skills.”

Xu Miaoyun smiled.

Mu Ying looked at the young couple, and her eyes fell on the two little guys who were observing him curiously.

The two little guys are getting better and better looking now.

He completely inherited the appearance advantages of Lao Si and Miao Yun.

I heard that he was very worry-free on weekdays. When the fourth child was deep in the grassland, he kept making a fuss for more than a month, which even alarmed His Majesty and the Queen.

Black Doudou's big eyes are particularly bright and agile, full of desire to explore unknown things.

And with parents like Lao Si and Miao Yun, who teach through words and deeds, they will definitely excel in the future.

Their children are all taken care of by their wet nurses.

But it is said that Laosi and Miaoyun, even if they returned to the Xu Mansion and had conditions, they would do it themselves and not let the maids interfere at all.

The excellence of the fourth child has caused headaches for many people.

If Xiao Yongming is...

He also understood the implication of the fourth child's words: As long as our old man is here, no one can change the world.

It has two meanings.

The first level is the literal meaning. It is true that as long as His Majesty is here, no matter who it is, it is impossible for him to change the world.

The second meaning is a direct hint to him: Don't come to trouble me. The old man is so capable. The reason why I have reached this point is all the result of the old man's troubles.

Finally, let him put his heart into his stomach and try the tea-making skills of Miss Miaoyun.

It was hinting to him that it was best to just talk about family ties.

Why!

Why did such a monster come out of their family?

Mu Ying sighed silently, looked away, looked down at Xu Miaoyun washing tea, then raised her head again, looked at Zhu Di solemnly, "Fourth brother, you are so smart, you must know why brother is here today."

Zhu Di nodded uncertainly.

Full of wry smiles.

Mu Ying refused to listen and insisted on talking about these things, which was expected.

After all, he is a die-hard supporter of Big Brother.

…

"Fourth, you are so outstanding. As ministers and brothers, we should take the initiative to hide our clumsiness and keep a low profile. You have been doing very well in the ninth and tenth years of Hongwu. Why can't you continue now?"

Mu Ying looked at Zhu Di with pleading eyes.

He didn't want to see one day when brothers in this family turned against each other.

Your Majesty and your empress must make a choice between their own flesh and blood.

That must be the greatest human pain.

Xu Miaoyun filled a cup of tea and handed it to Mu Ying. She smiled and asked, "Brother, Silang has been low-key and tolerant, but it seems that no one is willing to let him go."

Brother Muying's request is too much.

Why does Shiro have to pay!

Don't tell me, I have already promised my father to be a whetstone for my eldest brother.

Even if you don’t agree.

Today she also wanted to ask Brother Muying why he always asked Shiro to suffer injustice!

"When Shiro was low-key and tolerant, when he was in trouble, why didn't Brother Muying stand up and say something for Shiro?"

Mu Ying's face was burning.

Lower your head.

Looking at Zhu Di from the corner of his eye.

He had heard before that the fourth child pampered and spoiled little sister Miaoyun.

Now it seems that it is not false at all.

Logically speaking, in this situation, little sister Miaoyun has no place to speak.

This girl.

She was so powerful before that she was jokingly called a female student.

After becoming the wife of the fourth child, she became even more pampered and spoiled by the fourth child.

"Brother, don't say that Shiro has no ambitions. If Shiro has any ambitions, I will stop him..."

After Shiro's nightmare.

She couldn't wait to leave Daming immediately.

I no longer want Shiro to get involved in the Ming Dynasty's muddy waters. They can fight as much as they like.

…

Just when Mu Ying was visiting the Xu Mansion Courtyard.

Liu Bowen hurriedly entered the palace.

But he was blocked from the royal study, "Uncle Chengyi, Your Majesty is summoning Commander Chiang."

Liu Bowen nodded to the palace maid.

Not surprisingly, it was the public opinion in the city that attracted His Majesty's attention.

That's good, that's good...

…

In the imperial study room.

Jiang Jian bowed respectfully and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I have used all the spies in Jinling City to find out that the prince's remarks about preventing Zhu Zhuangyuan from becoming prime minister are related to the adults in the court. They are the common people. Through them The information obtained is just random speculation..."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully.

The frown relaxed.

Public opinion is nothing.

The original purpose was to hone Biaoer.

What he cares about is not the content.

It’s the sinister intentions of those who spread the content!

If it's just people's random speculation, it doesn't matter.

"Where did the public opinion push to praise Lao Si come from before? Have you found out?"

Jiang 𤩽 was slightly stunned, ‘Your Majesty, you don’t care. The public opinion is hurting the Crown Prince right now? What does the emperor want to do? Is Zhu Silang more important than the Crown Prince? ’

While his thoughts were fluctuating violently, he did not dare to delay and said hurriedly: "It has been found out. From the beginning, Prime Minister Hu, many adults in the court, and even some people in the Crown Prince's system were involved..."

These people are old foxes.

When the gentry noticed that Jiang Ning's interests were damaged, they got involved.

Just calm down quietly.

Let the gentry in Jiangning drive public opinion.

…

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard that there were supporters in Zhu Biao's system.

…

After the report was over, Jiang Jianzhang saw Zhu Yuanzhang frowning in thought, and cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to control the public opinion in the city?"

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses upon hearing the sound and shook his head, "No, you can go down."

Need not!

Jiang 𤩽 was shocked!

In the past, if someone had slandered the prince like this, the emperor would have taken action long ago.

The emperor is now becoming more and more difficult to understand and guess.

"yes!"

After Jiang 𤩽 left, the palace maid reported that Liu Bowen had arrived.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not let Liu Bowen in immediately. He turned to look at the female officer beside him and asked, "What has the prince been doing these days?"

He wanted to make sure that Biao'er had not been affected by outside public opinion.

The old mama hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the prince is just like usual. He handles the business until very late every day. In these few days, the number of visits to the Beauty Palace is more frequent than in the past. It is reported that during this period, the prince, in order not to disturb The Crown Princess studied the art of war and moved to the Hall of Beauty..."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded imperceptibly.

He knew about Biao'er studying Sun Tzu's Art of War explained by Lao Si.

Every once in a while, I will write him a review of my experience.

Tanghe reported.

Lao Si gave Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng a manual on the art of war written by himself.

Tang He was full of praise in his report, and reported to him that Daliao River Guards should be tested in actual combat according to the fourth man's code of conduct.

It is reported that firearms are also used intensively among them.

It is estimated based on the time it took Lao Si to complete the book.

At this time, Mu Ying had not yet gathered ten thousand gunmen to launch the Baishi River War.

He is also waiting for good news from Tang He.

I don’t know how it will be tested in actual combat.

…

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down his divergent thoughts and ordered: "Let Liu Bowen come in."

Outside the palace.

After Liu Bowen received permission, he came in on crutches.

After the simple ceremony between the monarch and his ministers, they clasped their fists and bowed, "Your Majesty, Zhu Zhuangyuan has been selected as the number one scholar. I beg your Majesty to arrange Zhu Zhuangyuan's place as soon as possible to keep him away from Jinling..."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this.

The old slicker clearly came here for the public opinion in Jinling City.

"We thought you came to us to suggest that the fourth child should be made prime minister so that you could escape..."

‘Wouldn’t this harm King Yan! ’

Liu Bowen smiled bitterly, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang was joking, and then he clasped his fists and said: "I am tempted by His Majesty's words. I want to be prime minister for a time, but I don't want to give it to Zhu Yuanzhang now."

The emperor wants to train the prince.

this is nothing.

Although he was worried, he was also supportive.

After all, the prince is too smooth.

Because of the emperor's strong support.

Influential and capable ministers are either the prince's teachers or the prince's companions.

The most thorny military commander Xungui, the older generation grew up watching the prince.

The younger generation, Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others have a very good relationship with the prince.

The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and all the princes in the past dynasties were jealous of him.

But this also caused.

The prince got all this very smoothly.

Now it seems that when the prince inherits the throne, he can indeed suppress everyone.

But I'm afraid that the prince will encounter difficulties!

…

But sharpening a knife can.

You can't start cooking with such fierce fire.

The prince must be allowed to adapt.

…

Zhu Yuanzhang listened and became serious gradually. After Liu Bowen finished speaking, he said: "Let's do this. Let's ask the fourth child to attend the morning meeting tomorrow and announce his whereabouts..."

Liu Bowen asked curiously: "Your Majesty, where do you want Zhu Zhuangyuan to go?"

…

It's approaching dark.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun sent Mu Ying out of the house.

Before leaving.

Mu Ying looked at Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun, hesitated, and then said: "Fourth, teach Xiongying to be serious and cautious..."

As he spoke, his mind couldn't help but be pulled back to the scene a few days ago when he and the prince were alone in a conversation.

The prince mentioned the behavior of the fourth child, who did not want to listen to what others had to say, but was so domineering that others did not dare to speak.

I'm worried that Xiongying will be like this in the future.

The prince said that this matter should only be mentioned with the prince and him.

At that time he understood what the prince meant.

The prince hoped that he would remind the fourth child tactfully.

Regarding Lao Si, the court on that day explained the domineering behavior of the local village community.

Maybe it's because of the military commander.

He didn't feel anything.

It's just a different way of doing things.

The fourth child just let some nonsense and remarks with ulterior motives be ignored without even daring to say them out.

The prince hopes that everyone dares to speak, and listeners can judge for themselves.

Which of the two methods is better or worse depends, in the final analysis, on whether the listener is wise or not.

There is no distinction between good and bad.

The reason why he hinted at the fourth child tactfully.

It's about worrying about the future.

Xiongying really learned how to be domineering from the fourth child.

It will inevitably conflict with the prince's philosophy.

The prince must be displeased.

This is fatal!

…

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun watched Mu Ying leave.

Zhu Di frowned slightly.

Xu Miaoyun whispered, "Brother Muying must have heard something from him..."

Zhu Di nodded.

The eldest brother doesn't like his domineering behavior.

At the end of the morning court that day, I advised him.

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di.

Xiongying admires Shiro so much, even as a child, and she also likes him very much, and it’s hard to say anything.

But it always feels weird for the eldest brother to ask eldest brother Muying to hint at Shiro tactfully.

Why don't you tell Shiro directly?

Brother, you think too much. Do you have concerns?

Ta-ta-ta...

The rapid sound of horse hoofbeats interrupted Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun's thoughts.

A eunuch rode up on horseback, dismounted at the steps, trotted to Zhu Di, and said hurriedly with a smile: "Your Highness, the Emperor ordered that Your Highness attend the court tomorrow morning to decide where Your Highness will serve as an official."

Huh!

Xu Miaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on her lips.

Finally leaving.

That's good, I can leave Jinling, this nest of trouble.

However, if Silang leaves, Xiongying will also leave.

I'm afraid there will be some waves in the court tomorrow morning...

Seeking monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.

I finished my work yesterday, and I had a good sleep today. Starting tomorrow, I will restore each chapter to at least 5,000 words. Thank you for your continued support. A gentle reminder: It's the end of the month, and the monthly tickets will be scrapped if you don't vote (dog head to save your life)
