Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 192 No one makes me worry
At the end of April, Emperor Luanjia entered Nanjing.The empress and officials arranged a grand welcome guard of honor and waited for the emperor to return to the palace.

Li Cunming went to Zijin Mountain to worship Xiaoling as usual, and then drove back to the palace.Arriving in front of Hongwu Gate, there was another lively and grand welcome ceremony. The officials shouted long live, and the sound of firecrackers and music was majestic.

Li Cunming glanced around but did not see Yan Ermei, frowned slightly, signaled to be quiet, and asked, "Where is Master Yan Jun?"

The Queen said: "Your Majesty has returned from the world, so let's go back to the palace to rest first. The concubine and your family have set up a banquet to welcome His Majesty and congratulate our army on their triumphant return."

"Queen, where is Master Yan Jun?" Li Cunming continued to ask.

Jiang Dejing knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, after Military Advisor Yan advocated the establishment of a new crown prince, he shaved his hair and dyed his clothes and became a monk. Now he lives in Qingshou Temple in the city."

"What?" Li Cunming was taken aback.

The queen said: "Master Yan said that he knew that he had sinned deeply and went to the temple to repent and atone for his sins..."

"Yan Junshi turned the tide and helped the building to collapse. What is the crime? I received his letter in Chengdu, knowing that he wanted to welcome the new crown prince. I agreed with it and issued an imperial edict. Why, you didn't Have you received the order?"

"Got it, it's just that Junshi Yan insists on not going out of the temple gate, so there's nothing we can do about it," said the queen.

Li Cunming sighed and said: "Commander Yan refuses to return to the secular world and become an official. Won't you sincerely invite him to come out? If it doesn't work once, go twice, and if it doesn't work twice, go three times... Queen, Commander Yan has made great contributions to the country." , I have made great contributions to the country, but if I am charged with a crime that I should not bear because of this, how will I handle myself? Wouldn’t the people of the world be heartbroken?"

The queen still had a bit of resentment towards Yan Ermei in her heart, so she remained silent.The ministers did not dare to speak, and knelt on the ground without moving.

Li Cunming asked again: "Why didn't the new crown prince Zhu Cijiong come to greet him?"

"Ah, the concubine asked him to come this morning, why didn't he show up? Wang Chengen, send someone to look for it!" Empress Zhou obviously didn't know where Zhu Cijiong had gone.

Li Cunming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You won't go back to the Xianliang Temple to develop guns, right? This Zhu Cijiong can't tell the priority! Forget it, leave him alone, and I will go to Qingshou Temple to invite Junshi Yan back. "

"Your Majesty, why rush for a while?" Empress Zhou advised.

"Can I not be in a hurry? Yan Junshi is my Zhang Liang, how can the court lose such a great talent?" Li Cunming turned his horse's head and hurried away.

With tears in his eyes, Jiang Dejing thought to himself: "Your Majesty is truly a sage king, and his love for talents is so touching! Master Yan, you have finally underestimated our Majesty!"

The queen wept secretly, shook her head and sighed.She understood that in the heart of the emperor, Yan Ermei was much more important than Zhu Cihong, and she would lose her son forever.

Qingshou Temple is in the city, not far from the imperial city.Yao Guangxiao, a famous minister of the Yongle Dynasty, also lived in this temple. He wore official uniforms to participate in government affairs when he was in court, and put on cassocks to read scriptures and recite Buddhist scriptures when he was in court.

Yan Ermei's actions must have been influenced by Yao Guangxiao, and they were indeed full of wisdom.

When I arrived at Qingshou Temple, I saw that the streets were under martial law and many soldiers surrounded the temple.At first glance, it turned out to be a guard from the East Palace.

Zhu Cijiong cursed from a distance: "Yan Ermei, come out! I said, I don't want to be the prince, you return my prince brother! You can hide for a while, and if you don't come out, I will send people to rush into the temple inside..."

Li Cunming's face became gloomy. When the guards of the Eastern Palace found the emperor was coming, they knelt down hastily, not daring to vent their anger.

"It's against the sky!" Li Cunming jumped off the horse, holding the whip, and rushed towards the temple gate angrily.

Zhu Cijiong didn't realize it. Holding a musket in his hand, he jumped up and down and cursed: "Yan Ermei, I can tell you that I have developed a breech-loading flintlock gun. If you don't save the prince, this gun will kill you!" The first person I met was you!"

There are two children beside him, one is the six-year-old Yongwang Zhu Cizhao, and the other is the four-year-old Princess Zhaoren.

The two little ones also raised their fists and shouted tenderly: "Give me back my prince brother, give me back my prince brother..."

Li Cunming's head got bigger, he couldn't laugh or cry: "There is no one who makes me worry, what are you going to do?"

With a loud roar, Princess Zhaoren cried out in fright, Zhu Cizhao shuddered, and hurriedly knelt down.

Zhu Cijiong turned his head and shouted: "Father, you are finally back! Please issue an order to depose my crown prince and save the prince's elder brother..."

"Nonsense!" Li Cunming stood in front of Zhu Cijiong with a cold face, snatched the musket from his hand, and raised his riding crop to whip it out.

Zhu Cijiong raised his head, with a very stubborn expression on his face: "I'm not a prince, I only want an elder brother, and the emperor will fight if he wants!"

Princess Zhaoren and Zhu Cizheng were whimpering and crying, Li Cunming threw the whip and musket to Gong Yonggu, hugged Princess Zhaoren to coax her, and ordered: "Gong Yonggu, take the three of them back to the palace, hand them over Leave it to the queen."

"Zhu Cijiong, back to the East Palace, let me think about my past!"

"I'm not wrong, why do I have to face the wall and think about my fault?" Zhu Cijiong said, scratching his neck.

"Little bastard, if I don't deal with you, you won't know that the pot is made of iron!" Li Cunming was furious.

Zhu Cijiong ran away and shouted: "I won't go back to the East Palace, and I will never go back. The East Palace belongs to the elder brother of the prince. I will live in the Xianliang Temple all my life!"

This kid ran faster than a rabbit, and Li Cunming was so angry that he took off his shoes and wanted to throw them over.

Gong Yonggu suppressed a smile and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down! I feel deeply moved. The princes are deeply affectionate and righteous, which is better than ignorance and ignorance."

"That's all, that's all!" Li Cunming waved his hands, thinking that it's not easy to be a cheap father, and the child is still his own kiss!
Then remembering what Zhu Cijiong said just now, he opened his eyes and shouted: "Quick, give me that musket!"

Gong Yonggu handed over the musket, Li Cunming looked at it carefully, and laughed loudly: "It really is a breech-loading flintlock gun, you Zhu Cijiong, you have successfully developed it! Gong Aiqing, with this kind of gun, I will go to the other side. Firearms are about to usher in a huge development. Well, very well, Zhu Cijiong has made a great contribution!"

"Really?" Gong Yonggu also smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, are you still angry?"

Li Cunming deliberately made a long face and said: "One yard is worth one yard. Zhu Cijiong has made great contributions, but he is now a prince after all, so he should look like a prince. How can he mess around?"

"Gong Yonggu, after you send Princess Zhaoren and King Yong back to the palace, immediately bring your guns to Tang Ruowang and Bi Dengfu, and show them. If there is no problem, ask Bi Dengfu to quickly mass-produce them."

Gong Yonggu took the order to leave, Li Cunming grinned, felt a headache again, sighed and walked into Qingshou Temple.
