Chapter 555: Face Saint
Zhu Di passed the order, waved his hand and ordered people to retreat, leaving Yang Shiqi alone.
He leaned against the warm-up, pillowed his head with a high pillow, and his eyes were napping. A eunuch carefully brought a bowl of freshly warm ginseng soup and placed it on the small table on the couch.
Zhu Di said comfortably: "The warm collapse of Beijing is more comfortable than that of Jinling. Yang Aiqing, you followed me to Beijing for a while. Thank you for your hard work. How about you, can you still bear it?"
Yang Shiqi stood on the edge of the collapse and said, "It is a blessing for me to receive the holy grace and be able to be on the side of the emperor all the time. Some hard work is not worth worrying."
Zhu Di couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm lucky to have this forever. After this, you scholars say that if you don't go out, you will know the world's affairs. What do you think? You are lying to yourself. You have to go out for a walk and see it. When you see it, you will know what the world looks like. These days, you have made some progress, which is much more pragmatic than before. Don't always talk to those Hanlin people. What can you talk about in a quiet conversation?"
Yang Shiqi said: "Your Majesty's teachings are kept in mind."
Zhu Di closed his eyes and said, "Come on, tell me about Zhou Li. If you want to see, I also want to study. Let's grow up with each other."
Yang Shiqi said: "I don't know which passage Your Majesty wants to listen to."
Zhu Di's eyes opened slightly: "In the Zhou rituals, are there any stories about the emperors who can hunt outside, and the prince's reign on national affairs and usurp the throne?"
When Yang Shiqi heard this, his face turned pale. He hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty is so serious. The king, minister, father and son, how can the ministers rebel against the king? The son rebel against the father... I have a word, but I don't know whether to say it or not."
Zhu Di smiled, still pillowing on the couch. His face was calm and he said lightly: "You said it."
Yang Shiqi said: "The incident in Jinling is really strange, it is very strange. I think that the crown prince is a pure filial person. Even if... even if he has any other thoughts, but... but..." Suddenly the emperor said something that really scared Yang Shiqi. In a sense, although Yang Shiqi was not close to the crown prince and was in the same power as Xie Jin, he still hoped that the crown prince could succeed the throne. Now the emperor suddenly suspected the crown prince. It was like a bolt from the blue, and Yang Shiqi was a little at a loss.
Finally, Yang Shiqi calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is kind and filial, how dare you do such a traitor? I beg your Majesty to be aware of it."
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Do I suspect my son? When did I say it?"
At this moment, Yang Shiqi was a little stunned. Speaking of which, the emperor had never said anything he doubted the prince, but just asked if there was such an allusion in the Zhou Li. I didn't expect that I would...
He was ashamed and said, "Yes, the poor minister deserves to die, and should not speak nonsense."
Zhu Di said: "Yang Aiqing's heart is also towards the crown prince?"
"This..." Yang Shiqi pondered for a moment and said, "What I am aiming at is not the prince, but the law of the ancestors."
Zhu Di sighed and said, "But there are many people, but this is not the case. Do you know? Being an emperor is difficult, being a father is even more difficult. You can go down, you don't have to serve you here."
Yang Shiqi had no choice but to say goodbye and go out.

There was no more movement in the emperor's palace. The mobilization of the army and the contact with the Oirat people were always ongoing, and everything was done step by step.
However, Hao Fenglou, Zhu Gaosui and others had arrived in Beitongzhou. It was not so convenient to arrive in Beitongzhou. Near Beijing, there were horses gathering and countless troops stationed everywhere. The troops stationed in Beitongzhou were a team of Duoyan Sanwei. Hao Fenglou and Duoyan Sanwei had never had a pleasant experience. Naturally, they would not hook up with them. Instead, there was a dedicated person responsible for receiving them and taking them to Beijing.
As for the scale of Beijing at this time, it was far from that of later generations. Although the palaces and courtyards had been built and the city walls were built, it was still a little far away from the real capital, and it was more like a military fortress.
It was snowing heavily in the sky. Shen Jiwei was from the south. At this time, everyone was wrapped in winter clothes and placed in Daying outside the city. Hao Fenglou and Zhu Gaosui arrived in Beijing.
As soon as he arrived in Beijing, Zhu Gaosui became excited and pointed. Although his face was red with cold, he kept saying to Hao Fenglou: "Look, that is Dacheng Building, where I went to the capital city before, and stood there, and saw the whole picture of Xuanwu Gate... there..."
The two of them were riding horses while talking.
Zhu Gaosui seemed to be like a child, and he stepped forward, saying, "I'll see you something good later..."
As he was speaking, a yellow eunuch came towards him with a dozen warriors. As soon as he saw Hao Fenglou and Zhu Gaosui, he said, "Is His Highness Zhao and the Marquis of Hai Fang in front?"
Hao Fenglou said: "That's right."
The eunuch of the Yellow Gate rode on the horse and did not come down to salute, but said, "Your Majesty's verbal order, King Zhao Zhu Gaosui and the Marquis of Haifang Hao Fenglou, who acted boldly and left the capital without any sin. He was immediately tied up and went to the palace to discuss the crime. His Highness, King Zhao, the Marquis of Haifang, offended, come and take it down!"
With a command, the dozen warriors behind him had no doubts. They crossed the eunuch, pulled Zhu Gaosui and Hao Fenglou down, took the rope, and tied them up to a strong position.
Zhu Gaosui shouted: "Luck, looser, I've pulled me, I've pulled you into my head. Hey, don't tie Hao Fenglou, I've got your head."
The warriors smiled bitterly and had to look at the eunuch, who turned his face aside.
The warriors understood and had to loosen the rope and tie it again, which made the two of them feel much more relaxed. One of them did not forget to give a gift: "It is really hard to violate the holy order if it is offended."
So the group escorted Hao Fenglou and Zhu Gaosui and went straight into the palace.
When he arrived at the Forbidden City in Beijing, he came in from the Meridian Gate and happened to run into Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi seemed to have come out with the order. His eyes fell on Zhu Gaosui and Hao Fenglou. He suddenly stopped and looked at Hao Fenglou with deep meaning. However, he stepped forward and said to Hao Fenglou: "Mr. Hao, long time no see."
Hao Fenglou was tied up. Seeing Yang Shiqi in such a posture was a little amused and crying, so he had to say, "Hello, Lord Yang."
Yang Shiqi smiled bitterly: "No, very bad. You two have caused trouble."
This sentence was a pun, but Hao Fenglou smiled at him and said nothing.
Yang Shiqi raised his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty has an oral order. King Zhao and the Marquis of Haiwei deceive the king and the emperor, and he will not forgive him for his evil deeds..."
Zhu Gaosui shouted: "I am wronged."
Yang Shiqi smiled and said, "I wonder what wronged Your Highness is? Come quickly, so the official can repay you immediately."
Zhu Gaosui said: "The prince wants to kill me, what is it that he is deceiving the king and what is it that he is unforgivable."
Yang Shiqi frowned: "Don't slander someone with blood."
Zhu Gaosui shouted: "It's true, every sentence is true. I'm wronged. I'm even more wronged than Dou E. I want to see my father and I want to express my grievances. I'm also a son. Is my life worthless? Why do I still deceive the king if someone wants to kill me..."
Yang Shiqi frowned and said, "Your Highness wait."
So Yang Shiqi went quickly, and after a while, he returned and said with a cold face: "Your Majesty has another oral order. The words of King Zhao are really nonsense. The prince is kind and filial. He treats his brothers like his own brothers. Why do you kill you? You are clearly in a gang with Hao Fenglou, colluding with enemies and being ruthless."
Zhu Gaosui shouted: "The father did not distinguish right from wrong, and did not listen to my arguments. Why did he insist on accuse me of being nonsense? My son was not convinced... not convinced..."
Hao Fenglou couldn't help laughing. In fact, he and Zhu Gaosui had already discussed it at the beginning. Now he had to see the driver. Whether he could see the driver depends on whether Zhu Gaosui was messing around.
Yang Shiqi kept calm and said lightly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has a verbal order. If you two are willing to admit your mistake, you can be punished lightly. If you still don't want to repent, you will not blame the ruthless law of the country."
Zhu Gaosui said seriously: "I only want to be injustice and to be clear about right and wrong, but only want my father to distinguish right from wrong."
Yang Shiqi sighed and said, "It seems that you have to make trouble until you have to make a fuss. OK, Your Highness, Haifanghou, you can wait for a moment."
When Yang Shiqi went this time, a letter of approval finally came. Yang Shiqi said: "Your Majesty has an order to apology with the criminals Zhu Gaosui, Hao Fenglou, and meet at the Nuan Pavilion."
Hao Fenglou and Zhu Gaosui both breathed a sigh of relief. They were taken to the warm room and went outside. Yang Shiqi said to the Bushi outside: "Since you are seeing the enemy, just loosen your ties."
The warrior was about to loosen the rope, but he heard a stern voice in the warm chalet: "No need to loosen the tie, just pull these two evil ministers in."
After hearing the instructions, the warrior was not polite and pulled the two of them in.
As soon as Hao Fenglou entered, he saw Zhu Di's face gloomy at this moment, looking at him and Zhu Gaosui viciously. Zhu Gaosui was Ji Ling, and without saying a word, he began to complain: "Father, my son is wronged... I am not tolerating my brothers, so I might as well die... My son would rather my father kill me than..."
Hao Fenglou was still steady and said, "My minister Hao Fenglou, I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
Zhu Di sneered, as if he was watching Zhu Gaosui's performance, and seemed to have not realized Hao Fenglou's words.
