Chapter 39 The Emperor
"Old man, are you from the Zhu family?" Chen Feng asked bluntly.

Zhao Lin and the other two guards immediately became alert, ready to step forward and take someone away.

Fortunately, the old man stopped Zhao Lin and the others. He just raised one hand, and the three guards did not dare to step forward.

"Young man, since you have already guessed my identity, aren't you afraid?" The old man asked with a smile, which meant that he indirectly admitted his identity.

At this moment, Chen Feng was very excited. How could he not have heard of the name of Emperor Yongle Zhu Di of Ming Dynasty?Living in modern times, he has never seen the ancient emperors with his own eyes.Now that a famous emperor was right in front of him, it was difficult to express this feeling in words.

Knowing the identity of the old man, when he looked at him again, there was more sympathy.No matter how powerful you are, there will always be times when you are dying.And the Emperor Yongle in front of him has already reached his sixtieth year.It is now the spring of 1423. According to the development of history, Emperor Yongle will die in August next year.In fact, people in their sixties are generally in good health in modern times.It's just that as a generation of emperor, he has too many things to worry about.

It is really sad and heartbreaking to think that he was so heroic in the Battle of Jingnan, but now his hair is all gray.

Thousands of emotions turned into a greeting: "Caomin Chenfeng has seen the emperor!"

Only then did Qin Ling and Ma Delu know each other's identity and quickly knelt down to see him.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Let's get back down, I'm here for a private visit, so don't reveal my identity."

Usually the emperor calls himself "Zhen", but Zhu Di replaces it with me. Although he doesn't want to expose himself, the main reason is that he is approachable.

The three of Chen Feng got up at the same time, and Ma Delu was a little trembling. He actually made ten dark dishes for the emperor to eat. This is a crime of disrespect.

It's just that Zhu Di didn't pay attention to this matter at all. He asked Chen Feng and the other three to sit down and chat as if they were having a normal conversation.

"How did Huo Yun die? Can you tell me what happened that night?"

Zhu Di really came here for Huo Yun. He knew that Huo Yun was the owner of Laifu Inn. The reason why he didn't come to Huo Yun for so long was because he knew that Huo Yun had a knot in his heart.

Huo Yun wholeheartedly wanted to defeat the ghost thief Chen Lingxuan, and before he defeated that person, he would have no face to meet Zhu Di.

Zhu Di knew him very well, so he ordered people to secretly search for Chen Lingxuan's whereabouts. However, even with the power of the court, Chen Lingxuan was not found.

What was even more unexpected was that Huo Yun would die suddenly, which was beyond Zhu Di's expectation.If the gold medal incident hadn't been brought up in court, the most powerful person in Ming Dynasty would have been kept in the dark.

Chen Feng recounted what happened that night, and Zhu Di listened carefully, and in the end, his eyes were even moist.As the emperor, he is high above the others, and he has several true confidantes and friends, and Huo Yun is one of them.

Sadness only appeared on the emperor's face for a moment, and he quickly regained his calm and majesty.The emperor will never show his weak side to others, and those who see it will only die.

"So, Huo Yun has given you the management of the inn?" Zhu Di asked.

Chen Feng nodded awkwardly: "Yes."

He came up with weird recipes and used his gold medal to defraud Shuntian Prefecture Yin of his money. Even if Zhu Di wanted to blame him, there was nothing wrong with him.

Fortunately, Zhu Di showed a smile and said: "Huo Yun can entrust you with the gold medal and the inn, which shows his trust in you. Although some of your actions are not appropriate, they are also a sign of shrewdness. I like it very much."

As he spoke, he took out a gold medal from his sleeve, and this gold medal was exactly Huo Yun's, because there was a small cloud word engraved on it.

"You keep the gold medal, but you must not use it indiscriminately like before." Zhu Di handed over the gold medal.

Chen Feng took the gold medal joyfully, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Huang, for your gift. It's just that you said you can't use it indiscriminately, so what is the use of me holding this gold medal?"

Zhao Lin glared at him and said, "It's really an inch. It's your greatest honor to be bestowed by the emperor with a gold medal! You should enshrine the gold medal and pay homage day and night!"

Chen Feng said unhappily: "Since it is something bestowed by the emperor, it is naturally for use, or else it is a failure of the emperor's kindness!"

Qin Ling and Ma Delu were terrified. No one had ever dared to speak like that in front of the emperor.

However, Chen Feng's bold move actually brought him closer to Emperor Yongle.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "I bestowed gold medals to elevate your identities and save your lives at a critical moment. Apart from you, the only ones who have gold medals are Zhang Fu and Sanbao. Those two have never used gold medals." , to be exact, since I bestowed seven gold medals, no one has used them. But the gold medals have been in your hands, and you have engaged in fraudulent activities. Although it is not a big evil, it is precisely because you are too Showing off is what attracted criticism from the Shuntian Mansion and the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies. You need to take this as a warning, and stop showing off."

The words were obviously spoken by the Ming Emperor, but they were more like an old man admonishing his children. This moved Chen Feng very much. He said seriously: "I will follow your teachings."

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and continued: "This gold medal is not useless. As long as you no longer use it to plot against those princes and ministers, I can allow you to use the gold medal to send troops and horses of the court. If you encounter any trouble, there will be help. Of."

"How many soldiers and horses can I mobilize?" Chen Feng asked excitedly.

Zhu Di stretched out a finger: "A guard horse."

"It's too little." Chen Feng muttered.

Zhao Lin said angrily: "You don't want to fight, and there are four or five thousand soldiers in one guard, which is enough for you!"

Chen Feng said calmly: "Master Huang, you know my relationship with Brother Dugu. I wonder if you know the plans of Mingtang, Jinyiwei and Dongchang?"

Zhu Di showed a puzzled expression, and said, "I have given them full responsibility for the Jianghu affairs, and I really don't know what their plans are."

Chen Feng quickly complained: "Master Huang, you don't know, they want me to be a bait..."

There are no outsiders here, Chen Feng boldly told Zhu Di the plan.It is rare to meet the emperor, if you can't change the way to get some benefits, it would be too wasteful.

Zhu Di frowned after hearing this. He came here in person, so he could see how much he attached importance to the three people in Laifu Inn.The conversation with Chen Feng made him look at Chen Feng differently.Among other things, at least Zhu Di didn't want to see Chen Feng encounter any danger.

"How about this, in addition to mobilizing a guard, you can send Ouchi guards at will!" Zhu Di made a promise.

The Ouchi guards are all carefully selected masters. Although the members of Mingtang, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are all extraordinary in strength, these three institutions are very special and cannot be handed over to Chen Feng casually.The Ouchi guards are different, they are only responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor, so it is nothing to send a few people out.

Chen Feng looked at Zhao Lin and the other three worriedly: "Master Huang, are the three guards beside you all big inner guards?"

Zhao Lin was even more furious: "What do you mean? Do you look down on us masters like us?"

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Zhao Lin is the commander of the guards and the number one expert in the palace. You have just seen his martial arts. Are you still not satisfied?"

"Master Huang, do you mean that I can dispatch this number one expert?" Chen Feng said excitedly, looking at Zhao Lin with a smirk from time to time.

Zhao Lin's heart skipped a beat, and now he is not angry, only worried: "Master, absolutely not, I want to protect your safety!"

Zhu Di said: "My old bone may not have many chances to leave the imperial city. Is your protection still missing in the palace? You don't have to worry, Chen Feng looks stubborn and unrestrained, but he will never do it in front of big right and wrong." teased you."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

Zhu Di looked at Chen Feng and said sincerely: "Don't think anything of Zhao Lin because of his temper. He is a member of an aristocratic family, so it is inevitable that he will be arrogant. Moreover, he is loyal and protective of me. Sometimes he is too rigid. You Take care of him."

As soon as he heard about people from aristocratic families, Chen Feng thought of the Zhao family among the eight great aristocratic families.These aristocratic families are as famous as the Eight Great Schools, no wonder their martial arts are so high at such a young age.

Zhao Lin wanted to say a few words, but suddenly he looked out the door warily and whispered: "Someone is coming!"

His ears were really sensitive, and as soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked to the door of Laifu Inn.There are many people going to and from Huanghua Hutong, and many people going to the opposite Baihe Tower, but now few people come near Laifu Inn.When this person arrived at the door, his target must be the Laifu Inn.

Take a closer look at this person's attire, wearing a bamboo hat and a sword at his waist, obviously dressed as a Jiang Hu.The enemy of Cangjian Villa that Chen Feng had been waiting for finally showed up...
