In the palace of King Yan in Beiping, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, had just invited the inner supervisor sent by the imperial court to go down to rest, and turned his head to Ma He, who was standing aside: "Go and call Gao Chi Gao Xu, and then go to Qingshou Temple to invite Master Daoyan and Yuan Heng to come over." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ma He was ordered to go out, and after a while, Gao Chi and Gao Xu came in together, and after saluting, Zhu Di said: "There is an edict in the imperial court, summoning the elders of Qin, Jin, Yan, the fourth prince and the concubine, and teaching it in Beijing." ”

He looked at Gao Chi and said: "The imperial court has established the prince of Qin and the king of Jin, and this time when I enter Beijing, Your Majesty will respond to the excerpt I asked for the prince of the world - Gao Chi, you are the eldest of the concubines, and it is natural to be the son of the world." I hope you will be diligent and respectful, and you will be reluctant!"

Zhu Gaochi left his seat and gave Zhu Di a big salute, saying: "My son respects his father's orders, and he must be self-exhorting and live up to expectations." ”

Zhu Di asked him to get up, and said to Gao Xu, who was silent and didn't know what he was thinking: "This time Gao Xue is also going to Beijing, Gao Sui is still young and is not listed. Your two brothers must support each other on this trip, work together and don't let your parents worry. ”

Gao Chi and Gao Xue both responded in unison.

Gao Xu didn't know what to think, his face showed excitement, and Zhu Di looked at him squarely, and said, "Gao Xu, what are you thinking?"

"The son just thought that the little uncle wrote to me before," Gao Xu said happily: "If I go to Nanjing, he will prepare a dozen good horses for me to wait for, and swear that this horse is a Hu breed in the Western Regions, which is better than the horses in Beiping." I'm going to Jingshi this time, and I must take a good look!"

"That's impossible," Zhu Di said expressionlessly, "Last year, your imperial grandfather ordered that all the princes' houses be handed over to Citian. Your uncle's family set an example and took the lead in returning the official field. Your uncle's manor property is the official land given to your grandfather by your imperial grandfather, and now it has all been taken back, where else will you get to run a horse?"

Gao Xu's maternal grandfather, Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, had a total of four sons and three daughters, and the four sons were Huizu, Tianfu, Yingxu, and Zengshou. Xu Huizu inherited his father's title and was the Duke of Wei. The second son died early, and the third son is now Shang Bao Siqing, which is also a position for Xungui, and I heard that it will not be long before he can be a hereditary commander;

Xu Da's eldest daughter is the princess of King Yan, and the second daughter Yu Hongwu married Zhu Gui, the acting king, in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, and a young daughter, who was only eleven or twelve years old at this time, and it is estimated that she will marry the vassal king when she grows up.

The Xu family is extremely wealthy, and there is also the reason why Xu Da died at the right time, the emperor is very fond of this hero, Zhu Di actually can't imagine that if his father-in-law lived until the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, would he also be involved in Lan Yu's case, and ruin his lifelong reputation and achievements.

Zhu Gaochi saw Zhu Di's expression, and said softly: "Father, don't worry, my son knows the current situation, and after going to Nanjing, my son will naturally restrain the second brother, and stay in the Zhuwang Pavilion on weekdays, don't walk around at will, and don't disturb my uncle's house." ”

Zhu Di came back to his senses and said: "You are wrong, where is there a nephew who passes by his uncle's house and does not go to visit him but wants to avoid suspicion? ”

Gao Chi nodded and said, "Yes, my son understands." ”

"Go to Beijing," Zhu Di instructed again: "After meeting your imperial grandfather, immediately go to the East Palace to meet the grandson, and don't delay for a moment." When you visit, you must do the etiquette of a courtier to see the king, and you must not be insincere because your grandson is the same age as you. When sacrificing to Prince Yiwen, the nephew first meets the uncle's etiquette, and then performs the etiquette of the monarch and the minister—understand?"

Gao Xu has never been sensitive to etiquette things, but Gao Chi showed a sudden look and said, "Yes, my son understands, and he must obey it." ”

"Over the years, the number of times I have returned to Beijing is few and far between," Zhu Di sighed: "I have never met my grandson and nephew, and I don't know much about it." It's just that I heard that he is a generous gentleman like his father, so it will be good, and he will have an easy life in the future. This edict ordered you, the sons of the vassal kings, to enter Beijing, is to give you the opportunity to get close to your grandson, and to have such a common reading is to add another layer of insurance on top of the bloodline. ”

In April of the 25th year of Hongwu, the crown prince Zhu Biao died of illness and was buried in August. On September 12, the emperor appointed Zhu Biao's second son, Zhu Yunwen, as the emperor's grandson and offered sacrifices to the temple. Since then, the emperor ordered his grandson to adjudicate general affairs, and both Chinese and foreign countries praised him, thinking that he was as generous as his father.

Zhu Di said: "If you understand it in your hearts, you will know the meaning of brothers, friends and brothers, half of them are from the disposal, and half of them are from humility." The grandson is not good at bowing horses, Gao Xu, if you are better than the grandson with the length of the bow horse-"

Gao Xu hurriedly said: "My son is not stupid, what good is it for me to do such a disgusting thing? ”

Zhu Di nodded, looked at Gao Chi, and stopped talking.

Gao Chi said slowly: "My son also understands that when taking the school poetry book, it must be the emperor's grandfather who makes a face for the grandson, and the son will not argue at the banquet." ”

Zhu Di looked at them, his throat moved, and he said with difficulty: "It's good to understand." In this way, it may be possible to save the feelings!"

"This time I went to Jingshi," Zhu Di paused and said, "If you have any ideas and plans, I will tell them." ”

Gao Chi replied: "My son is going to Beijing, and everything must be arranged by the emperor's grandfather, and my mother also told us about the life of the Zhuwang Pavilion, and you and your mother also lived in the hall back then. ”

"It's because your imperial grandfather was fighting outside at that time," Zhu Di said with a smile: "There are not many people living in the hall, and no one will discipline you for what you want to do." Now it's different, there are many grandmothers in the palace who are strict, but you must not listen to them, but you must also respect them, and you must not rely on the identity of the prince to command. ”

"It's rare for you to go to Jingshi once," Zhu Di said: "Do you have to spend all your days in the palace and in the hall?

"My son wants to go to the suburbs of Beijing to have a look!" Gao Chi couldn't help but say: "I heard that there are not only recruits trained by the Governor's Mansion there, but also the Iron Book Army of the Lords, my son wants to go and take a look!"

Zhu Di nodded, "Gao Xu wants to see the benefits of the Beijing Division's armor - Gao Chi, what about you?"

Gao Chi thought for a while and said, "My son heard that Jingshi originally built a large main hall, filled it with ancient and modern books, and also called famous Confucians from all over the world to give lectures there. The first prince's uncle studied there, but later went to the Wenhua Palace. My son wanted to go to the main hall to attend the lecture. ”

"The main hall is the place where you go to study this time," Zhu Di said with a smile: "You will know when you go, that place is within the scope of the East Palace, and there are often officials such as Zhan Shi, envoys, Yude, Zanshan, and guests of the Zhan Mansion of the East Palace. ”

Because the officials of the Zhan Mansion who are now assisting the grandson will be the mainstay of the court when they become the son of heaven in the future, and they will naturally have no good fruit to eat if they are provoked.

"There is one more thing I forgot to say," Zhu Di said: "This time, not only the sons of you vassal kings are studying in the main hall, but also the children of meritorious heroes and princes, because they inherited their father's title but are still young, they also study with you, including Chang Yuchun's son Zheng Guogong Chang Mao, Kang Maocai's son Qi Chunhou Kangduo, etc., who also serve and read. ”

"Treat these people, you-" Zhu Di thought for a moment and sighed again.

He originally wanted to say that he wanted to marry the children of these heroes in private, because Zhu Yunwen likes literature and dislikes martial arts, and he is not close to the children of these heroes. Besides, the Jingshi Jinyi Guard is pervasive, if he let his father know that Gao Chi Gao Xu has made friends with these heroes in private, he will definitely be punished.

"Don't lose your manners," Zhu Di said: "It's better to avoid it on the surface, I don't want you to do anything good to the palace, as long as you don't cause trouble." ”
