Chapter 91: The Beautiful Man in the Deep Palace

In the Imperial Garden.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. He was so angry that his whole body was trembling. His snow-white beard was trembling with anger. His eyes gradually narrowed due to his fierce murderous intent, and scraped Zhu Di fiercely like a blade.

"Zhu Di, how dare you be so disrespectful! Although Yunwen is your nephew, he is the future monarch of the Ming Dynasty and your monarch! You... have you forgotten that I have taught you the way of monarch and minister?" Zhu Yuanzhang gasped and shouted sternly.

Zhu Di was smashed to death with blood flowing from his forehead. He knelt down in a panic look, not caring about covering the bleeding wound, and kowtowed three times on the ground, shouting in a trembling voice: "Father, please spare me, I'm wrong! I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of the Grand Prince of

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "You still dare to deceive me! Did the future Ming monarch let you play? What is the use of me who has no monarch or father? Come on! Where is the personal army in the brocade clothes!"

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly stepped forward and supported Zhu Yuanzhang, shouting: "Grandfather, wait, wait! Emperor Grandfather, King Yan was really playing with his grandson just now, and he was not careful for a moment, and his words were a little overwhelming. Please beg the emperor grandfather to be kind and spare the fourth emperor's uncle. Grandson did not blame him, and he is the grandson's uncle. If his grandfather killed him because of me, his grandson would also bear the bad reputation of killing his uncle because of his nephew. What will his grandson face in the future?"

Xiao Fan suddenly mentioned it in one breath, his eyes seemed to spit out of fire. If Zhu Yuanzhang had not been present and the negative teaching materials of King Yan were used as a guide, he really wished he could rush forward and give Zhu Yunwen a powerful force to cut Huashan, so that he could make his mind clearer. What a good opportunity, and he would let it go.

It’s really hard to change your nature than a country!

Zhu Yuanzhang was still furious and said, "Yun Wen, your stupid and kind character has not changed yet? Keep such a man without a king or a father, and he will definitely become a disaster for my Ming Dynasty in the future! I will kill this evil son today!"

Xiao Fan was so excited when he heard this. Yes! Old Zhu was very much in line with his appetite. If he had not been a foreign minister, he would not be involved in royal family affairs. He really wanted to persuade Old Zhu to be a person who adhered to principles and quickly ask someone to chop off the disaster of King Yan...

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunwen was not as good as his wish, so he tried hard to persuade him, and even put one hand behind him and secretly made a gesture to Zhu Di.

When Zhu Di saw the gesture, he immediately understood, so he kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang three times and said tremblingly: "Father, please calm down and don't get angry. All the mistakes are the sons' faults. My sons... My sons' apologize to his father and His Royal Highness the Grand Prince. My sons' resignation first. After his father's anger is gone, my sons' ministers will come and apologize to His Royal Highness the Grand Princess..."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to react, Zhu Di got up in a panic and quickly withdrew from the Imperial Garden.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Di leave, his gray eyebrows raised and he was asked to take him down. Later, for some reason, he finally didn't say anything. Seeing Zhu Di withdrawing from the imperial garden in a mess, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, his old body seemed to be more hunched, and his whole body became much more decadent and desolate.

"Forget it, the children and grandchildren are responsible for their own affairs. I have killed people for the rest of my life and did evil things for the rest of my life. Now... I am tired and I can't do it anymore."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was depressed and depressed, as if he had become much older in an instant, and his face covered with age spots showed the hero's sadness.

"Yun Wen, talk to me in Wuying Palace... Xiao Fan."

"I'm here."

"Waiting outside the hall."

"I obey the order."

Zhu Di stumbled and fled the palace. After leaving Chengtian Gate, he hurriedly got on the horse. Surrounded by the guards waiting outside the gate, he hurriedly rode his horse to the other courtyard in Wuyi Lane. He ran all the way, like a stray dog, scaring many pedestrians and vendors.

After entering the gate of the other courtyard, Monk Daoyan came forward, looked at Zhu Di's bleeding wounds on his forehead, and said in shock: "Why is Your Highness so embarrassed?"

Zhu Di didn't care about the details, grabbed Daoyan's hand and walked out, and said hurriedly: "I don't have time to talk in detail. Sir, hurry up and follow me back to Peking. I can't stay in the capital. If I'm late, I'll have my life and worry about my life..."

Daoyan's expression condensed, he broke away from Zhu Di's hand, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, wait! What's going on? Isn't Your Highness coming to the palace to meet the saint? How could you have life worries for no reason?"

Zhu Di sighed with regret on his face and said in detail what happened today.

As soon as Daoyan heard this, he stamped his feet and said angrily: "Your Highness, you... are confused! How can you speak so rudely in the inner palace? How can you act so frivolously! How can you accomplish great things like this? Your future is ruined!"

Monk Daoyan was the first strategist under Zhu Di. He and Zhu Di were both subordinates and friends, so Daoyan did not have to take into account Zhu Di's face when speaking.

Zhu Di's face turned pale and full of shame when he heard this.

"What the sir is saying is, I...ah! When I saw that incompetent child today, I felt a resentment in my heart. I felt that life was as noble as a prince and a prince, and my fate was so unfair. Why did I guard the northern border, go through the sword, stay in a thread, escape from death, and make countless contributions, but my father still only asked me to be a vassal king guarding the whole place. The yellow-mouth child didn't have to do anything, and even the door didn't have to go out, and he could safely inherit the entire Ming Dynasty. My uncle who made countless contributions must still be the main ruler. Why is the injustice of God?"

Daoyan looked at Zhu Di's face that was distorted due to resentment and said coldly: "God is unfair. Your Highness only understands it today? Since it is unfair, let's try to change it! Fight against God! Those who dare to fight against the heaven need extraordinary courage, extraordinary wisdom, strong strength, and most importantly, a calm mind! Your Highness, you have done something stupid today!"

Zhu Di clenched his fists and punched the pillar in the corridor with a fierce punch. A fierce light appeared in his eyes and said evilly: "I have done it, what else can I say! Sir, before the Jinyiwei took the people, you and I will leave the capital and return to Beijing! When we arrive in Peking, it will be my king's world. Who else should I fear? Let's just turn our troops south and sit in the Ming Dynasty!"

Daoyan's tone became colder: "Your Highness, are you sure you want to fight with your father?"

"I……"

"Are you ready to rush the army to go south? Do your army have sufficient food and grass? Do you have high morale? Do you have the courage to fight against the orthodox heavenly soldiers of the court? Have you sent the officials in the south one after another to control the cities under their rule? As a son of man, he openly planned his father's rebellion, who in the world will stand on your side? Can you stand morally? The most important thing is... From the simple military affairs, can you beat your father who has been through many battles and has been in war for a lifetime? What do you occupy?"

Daoyan asked one sharp question after another, making Zhu Di's face pale and sweat all over, and his whole burly body was shaking. He clenched his fists, like a trapped beast in a cage, staring at Daoyan with a low voice, "Can we just wait here to wait for my father to kill me? I, Zhu Di, will not die so cowardly even if I die!"

Daoyan rubbed his temples with a cold expression, thought about it carefully, and suddenly asked: "Your Highness just said, was you escaping from the Imperial Garden because the Emperor's Grandson secretly made a gesture to you?"

"right."

Daoyan's eyes showed a relaxed color and said lightly: "That's it, your highness, don't worry, your life is gone, and the crown prince will tell you in front of His Majesty."

Zhu Di showed suspicion and said, "Really? This matter is no joke. Why is sir so sure?"

Daoyan sighed and said, "The Prince of the Emperor... is still too soft-hearted after all! Your Highness, your opponent is too weak. This is the opportunity given to you by God. You must hold on to it. Don't be reckless again. Your Majesty is old now. Your Highness only needs to wait a few more years for Your Majesty to return to heaven and the Prince of the Emperor will inherit the throne. By then, the Lord is weak and the ministers are strong, and the world can let Your Highness gallop."

Zhu Di nodded nervously.

"What should I do to save you now?"

Daoyan shook his head and smiled, "You don't have to do anything. Two days later, you will go to the palace and personally apologize to your father as you say. At that time, your father's anger has disappeared and you will not kill you. Most of the time, you will scold you a few words, and then you will give up."

Zhu Di was still very convinced of Daoyan's words, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Since life is gone, Daoyan's curiosity has come.

"What's wrong with the injury on Your Highness's forehead? It's understandable that Your Majesty is extremely angry, but what did he smash it?"

When Zhu Di mentioned this, he was so angry that he said with a stern face: "The father smashed it with a stone..."

"Stone? Where did your Majesty get the stone?"

"Xiao Fan handed it to him..."

Daoyan was stunned and after a while he ate, "This... the national sage is not only greedy for money, but also very despicable. He is definitely a person who hangs him. The master who handed the rope next to him, Your Highness, this person must be guarded!"

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said, "I swear to kill this person! Hiss - I'm so painful to death!"

Xiao Fan stood outside Wuying Hall, waiting bored, and didn't know how long it would take for the grandparents and grandchildren to say inside.

What happened today may be a good thing. Zhu Di, who was talented and wise, could not control his jealousy in his heart, and finally made a fool of himself. Zhu Yuanzhang saw it just right. This is God's will. I just hope that Zhu Yuanzhang would be vigilant against the vassal kings before his death, so that he could fully understand that the vassal kings were not as loyal as he imagined. What he left for his descendants was not an iron bucket country. On the contrary, this country was already full of dangers and had many hidden dangers.

It would be great if Old Zhu could figure this out and then use his personal charm and prestige to correct or completely cancel the strategies of the vassal kings when he was alive. That would be great, how much trouble had been saved for Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Di's actions also gave Xiao Fan a reminder. In the imperial garden just now, he thought no one knew about the conversation between him and Zhu Yunwen, so he dared to say such disrespectful words, but he didn't know that people were doing it. Heaven was watching, and the sun could not tolerate filth. In an instant, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered it. The saint said it was very correct: "A gentleman does not deceive the dark room." Xiao Fan secretly warned himself in his heart that if you want to be a gentleman, it is best not to sneak in. Maybe what you think you did without knowing is no longer a secret in the eyes of others. The three thousand taels of silver buried in the backyard of your home should be buried in another place. It is very unsafe to think about it.

While he was thinking about it, a pretty figure floated by under the corridor around the corner of the hall, like a fairy in Lingbo, walking towards the gate of the hall with a beautiful person approaching. Xiao Fan only felt a faint fragrance at his nose, like the orchid in the empty valley, elegant and refined, and aftertaste for a long time.

Xiao Fan came to his senses and looked at the beauty, but saw her wearing a lilac palace outfit, with her hair tied into two small buns, indicating that she was still Yun Ying's unmarried daughter. Behind the bun was a golden step, shaking slowly as she swayed, with a fair and tender face, with a bright almond eyes, a erotic and eye-catching fragrance, red lips and teeth, green hair and hair, and her whole body exuded a gentle and elegant temperament.

Xiao Fan's eyes were straightened. All the palace maids in the palace grew like this? No wonder Old Zhu gave birth to more than twenty sons and eighteen or nineteen daughters in his life. Xiao Fan was Lao Zhu. Any palace maid in the palace was so beautiful, and he could have so many, and he must have given birth to more than Old Zhu...

Being an emperor... is so good! To be honest, he understands Zhu Di a little now.

The beauty had already walked up to Xiao Fan. She looked at Xiao Fan curiously, her eyes were very clear and quiet, with a bit of timid smell when she first met a new person. After seeing it, she quickly lowered her head and looked away. Her fair face suddenly had a layer of shy flush.

Then she couldn't help but look up. This time she didn't look at Xiao Fan, but stood at the door of the hall and looked into the hall timidly for a while. However, except for Xiao Fan, she didn't see anyone else. The beauty couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and murmured in a low voice: "Strange, is Eunuch Qing not here?"

Xiao Fan knew that the Eunuch Qing she was referring to Zhu Yuanzhang's personal servant Eunuch Qingtong.

It seems that this woman should be the palace maid in the inner palace. It is very strange that the Wuying Palace belongs to the outer palace. On weekdays, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned ministers and generals in this hall, and Xiao Fan also went in and out several times. Apart from the eunuchs who were on standby, he had never seen the palace maids in the inner palace come here.

Xiao Fan coughed twice, then pointed to his nose and said seriously: "This palace maid, there is a big living person standing in front of you. If you have any questions, you can ask this living person, for example, if you can ask me if Eunuch Qing is here."

The beauty was startled when she heard this, as if she saw a statue talking. She covered her little mouth in surprise and looked at Xiao Fan, and then her big eyes gradually bent down, turning into two charming crescent moons.

"You... do you think I am... a palace maid?" said the beauty.

Xiao Fan nodded, could he be a princess or a princess?

But it is indeed no wonder that he has been in and out of the palace several times, but he has never seen what the palace maid looks like or what clothes should he wear? What is the woman he met in the palace who is not a palace maid?

Seeing Xiao Fan's serious expression, the deeper the smile in his eyes, and his beautiful pretty face became more and more blushing. She covered her mouth and smiled softly, saying, "Okay, then I'll ask you, is Eunuch Qing here?"

"Not here. Haven't you seen it all?" Xiao Fan answered very simply.

The beauty smiled again, then she pointed to the hall and said softly: "Then can I go in?"

Xiao Fan shook his head: "You can't go in. Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Grand Prince are talking about things inside. You can tell me if you have anything to do."

The beauty looked at him curiously, looked at the fifth-rank official robe he was wearing, and hesitated: "You are new..."

Xiao Fan smiled and nodded: "I am indeed new."

“…eunuch?”

Xiao Fanjun's face turned dark and she felt a little sad and angry...

"Have you ever seen such a handsome eunuch?" Xiao Fan asked very seriously and seriously.

The beauty smiled, her pretty face blushed like the sunset. Then she lowered her head embarrassedly and said in a little panic: "I... Since Your Majesty has something to do, I... go back first..."

After saying that, she turned around and hurried back. The defenses of men and women in this era were not as strict as those in the middle and late Ming dynasties, but the rules in the deep palace were very strict, and it was not appropriate for women in the palace to talk to strange men.

Seeing her look flustered, Xiao Fan suddenly felt teasing, so he smiled and said with a wicked smile: "Beauty, leave a contact number..."

"Ah!" The beauty was frightened by his "beauty" who was equivalent to teasing. She was like a single young woman who met a hooligan after get off work late at night. She was immediately panicked, and her feet were unsteady, slipping, and her whole soft body couldn't stop falling towards Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was also stunned. He didn't expect that such an ordinary sentence would scare the beauty like this. The incident happened too suddenly, and he didn't have time to support him.

The beautiful man's body was planted on the ground, and in panic, he was so scared that he waved his hands around, like a drowning man subconsciously searching for driftwood in the water. Suddenly, his jade hand touched a thing. This thing was neither long nor short, soft and hard. In desperation, Li Ren grabbed it with all his strength and tried his best. The quickly fell body suddenly slowed down. At the same time, he heard the man in front of him with a comfortable groan in pain.

The beauty stood up in shock, still holding the thing with her jade hand, and her mind was confused and very well-educated, whispering: "Thank you... this young master Yi extended a helping hand."

Xiao Fan's face turned ashen, gradually purple, and a few words burst out from his teeth with sweat: "No need to thank me, if you want to thank me... just thank it!"

The beauty was stunned and looked at the things she grabbed in her hands curiously. When she saw that her pretty face was frightened, she turned dark red in the blink of an eye, like a cooked crab.

"Now do you believe I am not a eunuch?" Xiao Fan was sweating profusely, and pointed to the things that were still holding in Li Renyu's hand: "...If I were a eunuch, you would have to be broken today."

The beauty seemed to be frightened, her whole mind was blank, staring at her hands and... what she was holding in her hands.
