A few days later, Zhu Yunxi led all the vassal kings to Beijing to leave Beijing again. They first took the train to Taijin, and then went south from Taijin Port to Nanjing to worship Emperor Taizu and Empress Ma.

Of course, Li Jie also accompanied him. Speaking of which, the emperor's trip was already huge, not to mention that there were so many princes, so the team heading south this time was quite large. Just from Beijing to Taijin, more than a dozen trains were recruited, and it took a full day to pull everyone over.

As for the fleet that went to sea from Taijin, it was even very large and all steamships. Even the naval warships they were escorting were steamships. After all, as the steamships became more and more mature, the navy began to introduce them as warships.

Li Jie and Zhu Yunxie were on the same boat, and there were also Zhu Xun and Zhu Youdun on the boat. After all, the King of Zhou was the legitimate son of Emperor Taizu, so the treatment was naturally higher than that of other princes.

Li Jie also took this opportunity to meet Zhu Youzhu's younger brother Zhu Yousheng. Although this guy has a very poor reputation in history, and even legendary he likes to eat people's liver, this guy looks good and treats people politely. If someone who doesn't know the inside story may think he is a humble gentleman.

However, although he was on the same boat, Li Jie, in addition to being close to Zhu Youzhuan, always stayed away from King Zhou and Zhu Yousheng, because they were not a good deal.

The steamship was very fast and arrived in Songjiang in just a few days. Then they changed to a small steamship, which was specially designed for driving on the Yangtze River and could sail directly to the dock in Nanjing.

Li Jie hasn't returned to Nanjing for a long time. He came back the last time, but he was assassinated when he left. Since then, Zhu Yunyu has been particularly concerned about his safety, so Li Jie has never come back.

Therefore, when the steamboat sailed into the Yangtze River, Li Jie was quite moved. In the evening that day, Li Jie stood at the bow of the boat and watched the setting sun, thinking about some things in Nanjing that year, especially the days when he first traveled through time. Although there were many dangers, it was also an unforgettable memory.

However, just as Li Jie recalled the past, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind. Then he saw King Zhu Su walking over and laughing, "The prince consort is so excited that he actually came to the deck to admire the sunset."

"The prince is joking, but it's just that Nanjing will be in the future for many years, and I feel a little emotional." Li Jie was also a little surprised by Zhu Shi's arrival, and replied very politely.

Zhu Xu came to Li Jie, looked up and admired the sunset scenery, and then said again: "I grew up in Nanjing, and I only went to Kaifeng to be a vassal after I became an adult, and I have never come back since then. I really miss you!"

Zhu Xun obviously had nothing to say. Although Li Jie was surprised, he still responded a few words, but he was sure that Zhu Xun must have something else to do when he came to find him.

Sure enough, just after Zhu Xun chatted for a few words, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Concubine, I heard that you are very close to the fourth brother, and you often have contacts in letters. Moreover, the court has also given him a lot of support through you when he goes to America?"

When Li Jie heard Zhu Su ask about Zhu Di, he also moved his heart, but said calmly: "My fourth uncle and I do have some communication in letters. As for his trip to America, it was also an agreement with His Majesty. I am just helping the court with him."

"Then can you tell me about America, especially the situation of the fourth brother in America?" Zhu Xu asked again.

When Li Jie heard that Zhu Xu was coming to inquire about Zhu Di from him, he was relieved. Zhu Youzun went to find Zhu Xu before and told him that Zhu Di might be unhappy in asking him to go to America. However, Li Jie did not let Zhu Youzun tell the truth, at least he could not tell Zhu Xu that he guessed this. After all, if Zhu Di knew about this, it would affect his relationship with Li Jie.

So Zhu Youdun only said that he guessed that Zhu Di might have ulterior motives to invite them to America. However, now Zhu Su suddenly came to Li Jie, which also made Li Jie worried about what he guessed, but he didn't expect that the other party just asked him about Zhu Di's situation.

There was nothing to hide about Zhu Di's situation, so Li Jie also picked up some things that Zhu Su wanted to know and talked about.

It is actually not difficult to guess the purpose of Zhu Su's inquiry into Zhu Di's situation. He has decided to go to America and must have wanted to learn more about the situation.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, what Zhu Youzhu persuaded Zhu Su before. Although Zhu Su still insisted on going to America, he might have listened to some of the words, so he wanted to ask Li Jie about Zhu Di's situation.

But no matter which possibility, Li Jie didn't plan to take care of Zhu Xi's affairs anymore. Anyway, he had already done everything he could, and everyone was adults, so he had to be responsible for his decisions.

Zhu Xu got the information he wanted, and finally thanked Li Jie and left. It was too late and Li Jie was about to go back. As soon as he arrived at his room, Zhu Yunxi knocked in and said, "Brother-in-law, what have you talked about with the fifth uncle?"

"It's nothing. The King of Zhou asked me about the situation on my fourth uncle's side. I guess I wanted to learn more about it before going there." Li Jie replied with a smile.

"Uncle Fifth is really stubborn. Youzhu has already persuaded him, but he insisted on going to America. Both sides are my uncles, so I don't want to favor anyone. Then they can only solve it themselves." Zhu Yunsheng shook his head helplessly when he heard this.

When Li Jie heard this, he laughed in his heart. Zhu Yunyu said that he was not helping each other, but in fact he was more inclined to Zhu Di. After all, Zhu Di was the first to be in the wrong, but Zhu Di and Zhu Yunyu had a closer relationship. He helped the Ming Dynasty defeat Timur and made great military achievements. Now he took the lead in developing America and set an example for other vassal kings, so Zhu Yunyu naturally favored Zhu Di.

"By the way!" Zhu Yunxiu finally thought about the important matter of coming to find Li Jie, so he took out a document from his sleeve and handed it to him, "This is the good news that Mu Sheng had just sent. King Min has been captured, and he is escorting the other party to Nanjing in person!"

"So fast!" Li Jie also looked shocked when he heard the news, and immediately took the victory and started to read it.
