"Thank you, Great General, for giving me face. I'm honored, honored!" Chen Guangqing said.”
Lan Yu was at the side, only thinking about drinking. It was as if in his eyes, he didn't care about Chen Guangqing at all.
Of course, in this era where hierarchy was extremely strict, even if he was born in the army, Chen Guangqing was only a guard and was still controlled by the King of Yan.
On the other hand, Lan Yu was a great general with a large army in his hands. He had just succeeded in the northern expedition and returned to the court. The two were on completely different dimensions.
If there were any implications, then this matter would involve the King of Yan's faction and the Crown Prince's faction.
At this moment, Zhu Biao did not care if the other vassal kings would rebel.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Zhu Xiongying said,"Lord Chen, the emperor has ordered me to stay here. I can't stay for long.”
Standing up, Zhu Xiong Ying was in a hurry to go to the capital of Yan Jing. The Imperial Jade Seal was still waiting for him there.
As Zhu Xiong Ying who was determined to inherit the Ming Empire, if he could get the Imperial Jade Seal and bring it back, it would definitely make Old Zhu more certain that Zhu Biao and his people would inherit the empire without wavering.
The army set off again.
After crossing mountains and rivers, according to the return route, the army would have to pass through Dadu, so Zhu Xiong Ying was not in a hurry.
Several days later, the army stopped.
Zhu Xiongying lifted the curtain and asked the Brocade Guard,"Have we arrived at Yan Land?"
"Your Highness, the King of Yan's camp is in front. We will set up camp here today and return to the south tomorrow!”The Embroidered Uniform Guard pointed to a military camp not far away.
Zhu Xiongying lifted the curtain of the carriage frame and stood up straight. He placed his hands on his waist and felt the cold wind blowing in his face.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards 'small flag had eyes, and he carried a large coat for Zhu Xiong Ying to put on.
"In front of us is Fourth Uncle's King Yan's military camp. Then, we'll set up camp further away. Don't cause any trouble. Go and tell Blue Jade to find a place to set up camp 30 miles to the west.”
As soon as Zhu Xiong Ying finished speaking, Xiao Qi quickly moved and rushed in the direction of Lan Yu.
Zhu Xiong Ying turned back to look at the Yuan Emperor's concubine in the carriage and said,""It's the big city you're talking about. Take me there!”
Concubine Yuan got up and walked out of the carriage. A Jinyiwei from the Thousand Households Bureau quickly scattered and hid in the dark to protect Zhu Xiongying's path.
They had just entered Yan Capital.
When the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, received the news, he hurriedly welcomed them.
"This important northern town is being handled like an iron bucket by Fourth Uncle!" Zhu Xiongying sighed.”
"Nephew, although this is an important town in the north, it has been invaded by the northern herdsmen all year round. We still have to wait for father to think of a way to solve the northern border problem once and for all.”
Zhu Di brought Zhu Xiong Ying along as they walked towards the King Yan Residence.
After saying this, Zhu Di looked at Consort Yuan suspiciously and asked,""Nephew, why are you bringing a woman with you on an expedition?？”
"Fourth Uncle, please forgive me. This woman is not an ordinary person.”Zhu Xiong Ying smiled apologetically.
Zhu Di was in a dilemma. He couldn't figure it out for a moment, but looking at Consort Yuan's clothes, he asked doubtfully," Could she be someone from Yuan Ting?"
"Fourth Uncle is indeed wise. The Empress of Emperor Yuan has also become a captive after this great victory.”Zhu Xiongying smiled calmly.
"Nephew, what are you doing in Yanjing City with the Empress of Emperor Yuan?" Zhu Di asked with a serious expression. Do you want Fourth Uncle to help you?"
"Then I really need Fourth Uncle's help. Nephew wants to take a look at the map of Yanjing, I wonder if Fourth Uncle can let nephew take a look?”
In the first year of Hongwu, the Ming army won a complete victory in the north for the first time and took over the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. After twenty years of development, it had already changed drastically.
Although Zhu Di was unwilling, he couldn't refuse Zhu Xiong Ying's request. He led Zhu Xiong Ying to the King Yan's Mansion. However, they had just entered the mansion.
"This used to be the palace, right?"。。”
"It's the King Yan's mansion now, and it has been changed many times!”Zhu Di's face darkened. Consort Yuan had described the King Yan's Residence as a palace.
Wasn't that implying that Zhu Di wanted to rebel?
Zhu Xiong Ying smiled." Fourth Uncle, you don't have to take offense. Emperor Yuan's Imperial Palace was given to Fourth Uncle as a residence by Imperial Grandfather. The original intention was to reduce the burden of the local people building the residence.”
"Let's go, let's look at the map first." Zhu Xiongying did not have time to chat with Zhu Di. He only had one goal now.
He found the Imperial Jade Seal and brought it back to Ying Tian quickly to congratulate the old man and make him happy. Perhaps if he was happy, she could be happy too.
"There's no need," said Consort Yuan. She stopped in front of a well beside the pathway in King Yan's estate and stopped Zhu Xiong Ying from looking at the city map.
"What?" Zhu Xiong Ying asked. Did you find anything?"
Zhu Di's expression changed as he looked at Zhu Xiong Ying in shock, not saying a word.
"What happened to Fourth Uncle?" Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Di doubtfully.
"Ang, nothing, nothing!" Zhu Di quickly shook his head.
"It's in this well!" Concubine Yuan pointed at the well in front of her and said confidently.
Zhu Xiong Ying waved his hand, and the Brocade Guard behind him came forward and bowed."Your Highness has ordered!"
"Bring everything in this well up before dark, even a stone!”Zhu Xiong Ying said directly.
A group of Embroidered Uniform Guards quickly attacked. Zhu Di's expression was uncertain as he asked suspiciously,"Nephew, if there's anything in Fourth Uncle's Imperial Residence that Nephew wants, just say it!”
"Fourth Uncle will naturally allow it."
"Why bother with a well?”
Zhu Di was a meticulous person. Zhu Xiong Ying had brought the Empress of Emperor Yuan to the King Yan Residence, the former Imperial Palace of Emperor Yuan, to look for something.
Then what could this be?
The answer might be obvious, but Zhu Di still did not dare to say it.
