The capital, the palace of the king of Yan.

Xu Miaoyi had just "sent" Princess Qin back to her home, and the second brother Xu Zengshou hurriedly came to the door, he didn't have any city mansion, and the excitement in his heart was overflowing, and he said in a hurry: "Big sister, great news!" ”

Bumping back and forth on the carriage, Xu Miaoyi felt that her legs were numb and her belly was tight, she held her big belly and leaned on the smoker cage, her legs raised high, resting on the soft pillow, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Zengshou sat beside Miaoyi like a dog, pounded her swollen legs, and whispered in her ear, "Does my sister want to be the crown princess?" ”

Xu Miaoyi's backhand was a slap and hit Xu Zengshou on the back of the head, "Where did you learn bastard words?" Yan Wangfu was originally suspicious of the East Palace and the emperor, and you want to push the palace into the fire pit. ”

"Don't always hit me, I'm not smart, the more I fight, the more stupid I get!" Xu Zengshou grinned and touched the back of his head, "At today's court meeting, many generals recommended King Yan as the crown prince, and even Zheng Guogong said that if he didn't establish a successor, he would set up the eldest prince Zhu Di, I looked at my brother-in-law quite funny." ”

Xu Miaoyi's heart is surging, do you want to be the crown princess?

Of course I do! Zhu Di and I worked hard to find out the unjust case of our grandfather Xie family and punished the murderer Li Shanchang, but because the emperor refused to admit the mistakes of the year, we could not rehabilitate Zhaoxue for the Xie family......

Xu Miaoyi frowned and pondered, and seeing that it was already dusk, she called Ma Sanbao to come in and asked, "Mao Xiang personally went to the barracks to announce that His Royal Highness entered the palace to see the emperor, has there been any news that His Royal Highness has left the palace and returned to his home?" ”

Ma Sanbao said: "The prince's car was waiting outside the palace, and there was no movement. Presumably, the emperor has a military affair to discuss, and the prince will have dinner together. ”

Xu Zengshou leaned into Xu Miaoyi's ear again and said, "I guessed right, it must be discussing the matter of establishing a prince." ”

Xu Miaoyi pondered for a moment and said: "It's not that simple, the emperor prefers the East Palace, and he has always been lukewarm to His Royal Highness, and if he wins the battle, he will give him 100,000 treasure bills that are like waste paper." How could it be that he suddenly changed his mind? Besides, after the Great Dynasty meeting, Mao Xiang was sent to summon the prince into the palace, and Mao Xianggui was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and asked him to deign to do this kind of errand work, wouldn't it be ......?"

Xu Miaoyi's face changed, her abdomen tightened again, and she said: "Ma Sanbao, you hurry into the palace, and if you want King Yan to return to the palace immediately, just say...... I said I was going to give birth. ”

Ma Sanbao was puzzled, "Princess, what are you...... What about the sin of deceit?"

Xu Zengshou hurriedly said: "Is the eldest sister happy and stupid?" The palace is discussing the establishment of the prince, you are risking the danger of bullying the king to stir up the situation! ”

Xu Miaoyi said sharply: "Don't go yet!" I am the fourth child, it could have been launched in advance, and there are prenatal signs from time to time, so I can't be considered a bully, you can call the prince back quickly. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Miaoyi felt that her abdomen was twitching suddenly, as if she had been punched, and even the mattress sheet was wet, and Xu Zengshou on the side was scared stupid.

Xu Miaoyi endured the pain and said: "Saying that Cao Cao Cao is here, he is really going to give birth." ”

Ma Sanbao ran out of the door like a rabbit.

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

The last sunset was about to fade, and it was about to be the time for the lamplight, but neither father nor son in the room moved at all, allowing the darkness to gradually envelop the whole body.

Despite Zhu Di's explanation, Emperor Hongwu still refused to let go, and the old hand pressed Zhu Di's shoulder and said: "I want you to make a poisonous oath here, and you will never compete with your nephew Zhu Yunwen for the throne in this life." If you break your oath, your wife will be separated and you will die without a place to be buried! ”

Zhu Di's body was shocked, and he said slowly: "Father, I finally understand the despair of the third brother when he planned to commit suicide by jumping off the cliff. ”

Emperor Hongwu's cloudy pupils shrank suddenly, "Don't mention this rebel!" ”

Zhu Di said: "The third brother later preferred to watch the broken leg rot and raw maggots than refuse to take the medicine, just to die quickly!" We are all sons of our fathers! Your own flesh and blood! Why did you have to force your son to make such a vicious vow? Forcing your sons to leave you one by one? I won't swear, I'm going to die, I can't get my wife and children involved! ”

Emperor Hongwu roared: "No! You have to swear! ”

When it comes to his wife and children, Zhu Di refuses to give in at all: "I refuse to swear, is my father going to kill me?" ”

I won't use the sword against the younger siblings, but if Zhu Yunwen does it to Xu Miaoyi and the children in the future, I can't stand idly by.

Emperor Hongwu roared: "Don't force me! ”

Zhu Di counterattacked step by step, "It's the father who has been forcing his sons!" For the death of the second brother and the third brother, does the father just think that they are to blame? Doesn't my father feel even a little guilty in his heart? ”

Emperor Hongwu was silent.

Zhu Di began to strike a fatal blow, "The second brother and the third brother are gone, now it's my turn, right?" ”

Having lost three sons one after another, Emperor Hongwu could not be indifferent, and his arm fell off his strength and hung down from Zhu Di's shoulder.

Emperor Hongwu finally made a concession and said, "If you insist on refusing to swear, you must immediately go to Yandi to settle down and stay away from the capital." ”

Zhu Di said: "Miaoyi's delivery date is approaching, her birth has gone through many twists and turns, and it is a little dangerous, so I implore my father to wait for her to give birth to a child and then travel far after the confinement." ”

Emperor Hongwu shook his head, "No, in a few days, I will order Zheng Guogong and the founding brothers to guard the northwest and northeast border passes respectively, and you must also leave the capital." ”

Zhu Di smiled coldly, "There are grandchildren, but there are no grandchildren." The father and the emperor drove the grandson and the elder out of the capital, so as to support the grandson Zhu Yunwen to ascend the throne as the emperor's grandson...... It's just that the child in Miaoyi's belly is also your grandchild, the first month is cold and freezing, and the journey is tiring all the way, in case anything is good...... Ask the father and the emperor to be lenient for the sake of the son and the future grandson

Limited to two months, wait for the mother and son to recover and set off, never stop in the capital. ”

Emperor Hongwu refused to give in, "I have made up my mind, I will send the imperial doctor, the midwife and the nurse to follow all the way, and there will be no accident." ”

Zhu Di fought for his wife and children, and said: "Father, the emperor and grandson of the East Palace are his own grandsons, isn't my child your grandchild?" It's just a two-month grace period, and we have no nostalgia for the capital. ”

Emperor Hongwu said: "Two months is enough for a lot of changes. As a prince, you should focus on the overall situation, you are too childlike to Xu Miaoyi. ”

Zhu Di said: "It's not that I'm amorous, it's my father's affection." As a father, it is righteous to shelter his wife and children from the wind and rain. I will not hurt my children, no matter how old or young, I will do my best to protect them. ”

Emperor Hongwu was furious, "Rebel! I gave birth to you, raised you, and raised a group of white-eyed wolves! In the end, they all said I'm sorry for you! ”

Seeing that the father and son were about to completely tear their faces, there was a commotion outside.

Emperor Hongwu was annoyed: "What's the matter? ”

Outside the imperial study, Ma Sanbao was pressed down in the snow by a group of brocade-clothed guards, and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness King Yan! The princess started ahead of schedule and is about to give birth, Your Highness hurry back! ”

Zhu Di was no longer entangled with his father, stood up suddenly, pushed the door out, Jinyiwei let go, and Ma Sanbao crawled over with a roll, "The princess's amniotic water is broken, Your Highness hurry up!" ”

The palace is huge, just from the imperial study out of the palace gate to go a long way, Zhu Di was in a hurry, saw a father's carriage parked outside the door, two white horses in front of the cart, he snatched the embroidered spring knife of the brocade guard, cut off the reins connecting the carriage and horses, turned over on the horse, did not even use the saddle, rode on the bare horseback, and ran out of the palace on the snow.

Ma Sanbao and the Jinyi guards were stunned.

Mao Xiang hurriedly told Emperor Hongwu, "Your Majesty! The palace forbade horse racing, and King Yan violated the ban and robbed it—"

"I gave it to him." Emperor Hongwu interrupted: "It is my will, Princess Yan was born prematurely, and I gave King Yan a horse and allowed him to run in the palace." ”

Mao Xiang saw that Emperor Hongwu had the intention to exonerate King Yan, so he ordered his subordinates to report and release him, and not to pursue King Yan's trespassing.

Who knew that Emperor Hongwu said again: "I want the cabinet Hanlin to draw up a decree, and three days later, the Yan Wangfu will set off to Yandi to become a vassal." ”

Mao Xiang listened and sighed in his heart.

Zhu Di rode from the imperial study of the palace to the palace of King Yan, and Zhu Li, the king of Zhou, and Feng Shi, the princess of Zhou, were waiting outside.

Zhu Di turned over and dismounted, and was about to rush to the delivery room, but was stopped by his younger brother Zhu Li, "The fourth brother has been in the dust all the way, and he can only go in after taking a bath and changing clothes." ”

Zhu Li's medical skills are excellent, and seeing his younger brother's calm expression, Zhu Di knew that Xu Miaoyi was in danger, but he still asked uneasily: "Why is there no sound in the delivery room?" ”

Zhu Di has been a father three times, Xu Miaoyi fights outside every time he gives birth, he has never seen the child born, and he thought that the mother was going to scream in pain.

Zhu Hu showed admiration on his face and said: "The fourth sister-in-law is very strong, and it is easier to give birth to the fourth child." ”

Zhu Di changed his clothes, washed his face, and hurriedly entered the delivery room.

Princess Feng touched her flat lower abdomen, and then looked at the three children of Yan Wangfu, unable to hide her envy.

In the delivery room, Zhu Di fed Xu Miaoyi noodles with his own hands, his hands trembled slightly, the noodles fell from the chopsticks in circles, Xu Miaoyi smiled, "Don't be nervous, it's me who gave birth to the baby, not you." ”

Zhu Di simply used chopsticks to cut the long noodles and put them in a spoon to feed her, "It's because it's you that I'm nervous." ”

Xu Miaoyi was eating noodles, and Zhu Di asked, "Wang Yinnu has been sent out of the capital?" ”

Xu Miaoyi was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

Zhu Di raised his chin towards the door, "The fifth brother's thoughts can't be hidden from me, Wang Yinnu was martyred, and his eyes were relieved, not sad." ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "Fortunately, we sent it away immediately, otherwise we would have gone to Yandi, and the fifth brother would have been a vassal, who would protect her." ”

The soup spoon in Zhu Di's hand paused, "You know everything?" ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "At today's court meeting, the second brother Xu Zengshou has already told me, and he mysteriously asked me if I want to be the crown princess." I slapped him on the back of the head with a backhand, telling him to shut up and dispel the thought, and no one was allowed to say it. ”

Zhu Di continued to feed the broken noodles and asked, "Then do you want to be the crown princess?" ”

Xu Miaoyi asked rhetorically: "Do you want to be the prince?" ”

Zhu Di said: "I've thought about it, but I don't want to it now." ”

Xu Miaoyi smiled slightly, reached out and touched Zhu Di's forehead, "It was your father who forced you to quit, I expected this, I was worried that you would not be able to get off the stage because of the dispute with your father, so I called you back to the palace under the pretext of giving birth to a child, but I didn't expect this child to be really Cao Cao, and he came as soon as he said it." ”

Zhu Di was stunned.

Xu Miaoyi said: "The fifth brother's mind can't hide from you, and your mind can't hide from me." In fact, when I heard the second brother talk about the things at the court, I was also moved, but the heart is heartbeat, the reality is reality, the father has always been biased towards the East Palace, the eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen, if the queen mother is still there, maybe you can still persuade one or two, either to establish a grandson, or to establish a long, in short, it is not the turn of Zhu Yunwen, who is not a concubine, but the queen mother died, who can shake the decision of the father? It's enough for me to have you in my life, and I don't expect to be a princess. ”

That night, Princess Yan gave birth to a son named Zhu Gaoxu.

Three days later, in the loud cry of Zhu Gaoxu, King Yan moved his family out of Beijing, braved the spring snow to the north, and went to Beiping, a feudal land thousands of miles away. 166 Reading Network
