Chapter 662: Looking for the old man(2/2)
Zhu Zhen was quite helpless for a while, a little bit dumbfounded.
The old man is very calculating.
It not only satisfies his desire to sneak out of Beijing, but also allows the prince's brother to help him block the news so that he can stay outside for a longer time.
As for safety issues.
Zhu Zhen believed that whenever the old man encountered any danger, he would be able to call in countless soldiers and horses to protect him within an hour.
After all, although no one knows where the old man is now, he definitely knows where the local garrison is.
"Uncle Sixth, where do you think our old man... is most likely to go?"
Zhu Yunxi frowned and turned to look at Zhu Zhen beside him.
It is impossible for the old man to leave Beijing quietly without telling everyone for no reason.
Even in the past when he was in the capital, he would often leave the palace quietly, but that was only in Yingtian Mansion, or even wandering around Yingtian City.
This time was completely different from the past. Not only did he leave Beijing, he also quietly did not tell anyone.
The old man wanted to see with his own eyes what the current situation in the place was like, so naturally he couldn't fake it.
But which direction to go and what exactly do you want to see.
But it has become the most important and crucial point.
Zhu Zhen thought deeply and then said with some speculation: "Maybe... the old man has returned to Fengyang?"
His Royal Highness the King of Chu used the word "hui".
After all, it stands to reason that the Ming Dynasty was built bit by bit starting from Fengyang. The so-called Huaiyou meritorious group in the court is naturally no joke.
It has been thirty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the old man rarely goes back.
All in all, it is most likely that the old man will leave Beijing and return to Fengyang this time.
Zhu Zhen began to explain: "First of all, Fengyang is not far from the capital. If something happens in the capital, the old man can return quickly after hearing the news.
Secondly, the No. 18 Prefecture of Zhili Province was the first to implement the New Deal, and Fengyang is the hometown of our old Zhu family. If the old man wants to see with his own eyes the people's livelihood in the world today, Fengyang is the best choice.
Thirdly, you also know that the old man is getting old now. As a person gets older, he will become more and more nostalgic. When he goes back to Fengyang, he probably wants to see the old things from back then. "
Zhu Zhen felt that his old man must have returned to his hometown in Fengyang.
After thinking about it, even he himself felt a little sad.
"Everyone says that we, the descendants of the clan, enjoy glory and wealth, and are supported by the people of the world. But who knows that when we are old, we will leave the capital and join the feudal vassal to serve as a seat for the imperial court.
In these years, even if I want to respond to God, I have to report it to the court first, and only after receiving the permission can I go back to see my father and brothers.
Let alone Fengyang’s hometown, your sixth uncle doesn’t even know what it’s like.”
Zhu Yunxi thought carefully about the explanation given by Zhu Zhen.
After a while, he slowly shook his head.
"I don't think grandpa is returning to Fengyang."
Zhu Zhen immediately cast a puzzled look.
Zhu Yunxi explained: "If grandpa really wanted to return to Fengyang for a visit, he would definitely not leave the capital secretly without telling his father and the court. All he needed was a decree, in the name of paying homage to the emperor, who in the court would dare to stop him? There is no way to stop him.
It’s only half a month, so there’s no need to spend so much time on it.”
Zhu Zhen's brows moved, and he felt that what Zhu Yunxi said was somewhat reasonable.
He couldn't help but ask: "Then where do you think our old man will go?"
Zhu Yunxi stood up and stood by the dock, hands on his hips.
"My nephew thinks that the old man might be on his way to Wuchang City."
Zhu Zhen's eyes widened for a moment: "The old man is coming to Wuchang?"
"This is the greatest possibility!" Zhu Yunxi said with certainty: "It may be a mistake. My nephew should march more slowly. He sent the Jin Yiwei and the guards from the Sixth Uncle's Palace, dressed in disguise, and set off from Wuchang City towards Yingtian.
Regardless of the official road, the main road or the country road, we sent people to check it out bit by bit."
He thought of the biggest possibility.
Zhu Zhen was a little hesitant: "Is this possible?"
The road from Yingtian to Wuchang is not easy.
Although the imperial court had plans in the past two years to connect the cement road from Taiping Prefecture to Wuchang Prefecture, it could not be completed so quickly.
Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Perhaps, I already know what the old man wants to do."
