Chapter 1561: The Courage of Everyman
After hearing Zhu Zaiyao's words, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but smile, and naturally understood the reason in his words.
Although Zhu Zaiyao is extremely smart, as a mother, Empress Xia doesn't like him to get in touch with the darkness in the court too early. She still wants him to keep her childlike innocence.
Unless otherwise absolutely, Empress Xia would not let Zhu Zaiyao know about the intrigues and intrigues in the court.
This is also the psychology of every mother in the world. She does not want her children to be hurt at all, and she does not want him to know the cruelty and reality in the adult world.
Ye Chunqiu could understand Empress Xia’s approach, and even agreed completely. If Zhu Zaiyao was not the crown prince, he would have to face these things in the future. Ye Chunqiu really couldn’t bear to let him know the darkness of the world too early.
Since you have to face it sooner or later, it would be better to let Zhu Zaiyao know earlier, as it will not be easy to be fooled by the eunuchs around you in the future.
Ye Chunqiu saw that the sky was getting late, and he did not continue to discuss it with Zhu Zaiyao, but instead sent Zhu Zaiyao back to the East Palace and returned to his mansion.
I took a day off and arrived in the palace early the next morning.
Since this matter may be related to King Xing, Liu Jin's suspicion was removed. Liu Jin was the first person in the inner palace, so he naturally did not want to change. His suspicion was the least.
Ye Chunqiu called Liu Jin aside.
"Eunuch Liu, please help me."
Liu Jin has been uneasy these two days because he was thinking about the changes in the palace. Zhang Yong's death made him mixed. On the one hand, although one competitor was missing, on the other hand, it made him a little scared.
Zhang Yong has been going all the way to this day, and it is inevitable that Liu Jin is sad and sad.
Listening to Ye Chunqiu wanting to help him, Liu Jin laughed dryly: "What are the instructions for the master? But it doesn't matter."
Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "The factory guards have been staring at King Xing and his son."
"This..." Liu Jin said embarrassedly: "He is a prince, a noble man of heaven, how dare this?" After a pause, he felt that his words were a bit hypocritical and excessive, so he smiled bitterly: "It's a follower, I really don't hide it, but I don't dare to force it too much, why... Master..."
Ye Chunqiu's mouth curled slightly, revealing a little coldness.
"Start at him, stare at him."
Liu Jin nodded and stopped talking. He knew very well that Duke Zhenguo was going to take action. Since that was the case, let's play with this Duke Zhenguo.
Today, Ye Chunqiu is no longer the Ye Chunqiu he used to be. Liu Jin has slowly regained his position. If you want to gain a foothold in this palace, you must first understand what you are and understand yourself so that you will not suddenly die like Zhang Yong.
After instructing King Xing and his son, Ye Chunqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said, "Where is Your Majesty? Can you be in the warm room?"
Liu Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is in Taiye Pool. A few days ago, the envoy of the Ross country arrived in the capital to pay tribute and brought a strong man. It is said that he is extremely powerful and has the courage of thousands of men. Your Majesty summoned him in Taiye Pool and wanted to see him."
Ross Country?
Ye Chunqiu thought about it and probably realized that this Russ country should be the Principality of Moscow. There was no Russian Empire at this time. The Russians before were all ruled by the Golden Horde, one of the four major Khanates of Mongolia. However, just a hundred years ago, the Golden Horde gradually declined, and the Principality of Moscow was expanded.
At this time, the Duchy of Moscow had almost ruled half of Eastern Europe, and its tentacles had begun to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Mongolian Khanate. Thirty years ago, the Grand Duke of Moscow married the last princess of the Byzantine Empire, and vaguely, it was revealed that it had begun to regard itself as an orthodox orthodox. In addition, during these thirty years, they had successively annexed the Duchy of Tver, the Republic of Pskov, and the Principality of Ryazan, and occupied Smolensk, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
At this point, Russia's unified country was basically formed, with its territory reaching the White Sea in the north, the Oka River in the south, the upper reaches of the Dnieper River in the west, and the Ural Mountains in the east.
Ye Chunqiu could not have imagined that the Ross people would actually visit at this time. In Ye Chunqiu's impression, the Ross people should have officially contacted here a hundred years later and began to gradually embezzle the vast northern territory.
Perhaps it is because of the impact of the Ming Dynasty's opening of the sea. Although most of the Ming Dynasty's sea ships were only traded between the vassal states, there were also some "unruly" sea merchants who wanted to make greater profits. They actively explored trade routes. It is said that a large number of merchant ships have arrived directly at Dashi, Tianzhu, and even North Africa to trade.
This sporadic trade, to some extent, quickly spread the situation of the Ming Dynasty. For Central Asia and even the Western world, the East is no longer just a few words in Marco Polo's travelogues.
But, what did this Rose man come to do?
Ye Chunqiu nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look."
As he reached Taiye Pool, there was a sound of fighting in the distance. Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but cheer up, thinking that something had happened. When he quickly reached the heavy attic, he saw a wide area beside Taiye Pool. Zhu Houshi shone in the pavilion and shouted loudly.
On the other side, dozens of guards besieged a warrior like a giant. The warrior was only bare-shirted, more than two meters high, and his muscles swelled out like fists. The raised muscles on his body were hard and solid, like solid stones.
He was not afraid, and dozens of people rushed up, some punched him with their legs, and some hit him hard. He didn't realize it, but his arms were like a millstone. He grabbed one of the guards, picked him up and threw him hard. The guard flew up in the air, and then fell heavily, and he could no longer move.
The other guards hit him, as if they were tickling it. The strongman's deep blue eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He lifted another person and ran towards the sky. This man with a hundred pounds actually flew up and shouted bitterly.
In just a moment, more than 20 guards had fallen down half, but the strongman was unscathed.
Ye Chunqiu frowned while looking at him, but Zhu Houzhao applauded under the pavilion.
Ye Chunqiu walked forward quickly. When Zhu Houzhao saw Ye Chunqiu coming, she couldn't help but laugh: "Chunqiu, you are here just right. This Ross's strongman is really amazing."
Ye Chunqiu said: "Your Majesty, please stop. These guards are not his opponents. Most of them are his followers and loyal to His Majesty. Why should you let them make fearless sacrifices?"
Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, stop."
