Zhu Di looked at King Ning with a smile on his face, "I wanted you to have a good rest in the capital and share the joy of family." I can't imagine that the royal brothers are more important than I thought, the country is not important, it is good, very good. Now that the vassal king is moving, I don't know if the seventeenth brother wants to go to the domain? ”

Zhu Di of the Ning Dynasty looked at it, and then looked at the other vassal kings around him. The eyes of those vassal kings are full of a look of good show, King Ning is the first person to eat crabs, and he is helping them test the waters, if King Ning can get a good place, it means that everyone can, if King Ning touches the ashes, these people will know that although the person in front of them is not the nephew Zhu Yunwen who is bent on cutting the domain, but he is not the former father Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Brother Huang." King Ning clenched his hands into fists, his face was sincere, and he said, "Brother Chen, since you ascended the throne, you have felt a lot. Now it is not like when my father was there, the mountains and rivers are still unstable, the traitors are removed, I believe that there is a royal brother to guard, and there are only worshippers in foreign countries, and no one dares to covet my Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the younger brother decided to return all the military power in his hands to the imperial court, and the imperial brother only had to give me a place and let me be a rich prince for two years, study and study music scores, and grope for the tea ceremony. ”

Zhu Di smiled slightly, and looked at King Ning again, "The seventeenth brother's idea is very good. ”

"Brother Chen's brother since he was more than ten years old, he has tasted enough of the wind and frost and bitter cold for many years, and now he only wants to stay in a quiet and comfortable place for a few years, Jiangnan has always been known as the land of fish and rice, and Suzhou and Hangzhou are good places in Jiangnan, and the brother has a reluctant invitation, I want to go to Suzhou for a few years, and please ask the royal brother to complete!" King Ning finally said his purpose, and everyone present was a little embarrassed, but they didn't dare to say it in front of Zhu Di.

Although he handed over the military power, it was only on the surface, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would raise another team of self-defense soldiers, but a good place like Suzhou could not be taken down. Suzhou is only a few hundred miles away from Jinling, and it is the richest place in the whole country. Everyone couldn't help muttering in their hearts, King Ning has always had a reputation for being scheming, so it seems that this is indeed the case. Yidu shifted his attention to Zhu Di, wanting to see if Zhu Di would agree.

Zhu Di picked up the empty cup, I hurriedly poured it for him, he raised it and put it to his lips and nodded slightly, the people below thought he drank it, but only I saw it, he put it down without taking a sip at all, and said to King Ning with a smile, "Suzhou has a history of thorns, the city pattern is now very stable, if the seventeenth brother wants to go, the officials will inevitably need to make a big move, I have not been on the throne for a long time, there are many things to be dealt with slowly, I really can't spare the energy to rearrange the officials, the seventeenth brother might as well choose another good place." ”

King Ning had been smiling, probably for Suzhou was already inevitable, but Zhu Di vetoed it, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but since he was able to raise this matter at today's Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, he must have come prepared, and after a little silence, he regained his composure, and smiled at Zhu Di, "The courtier's brother handed over the military power this time, in order to share the worries of the imperial brother, how can he embarrass the imperial brother because of the domain, since Suzhou has a history of assassination, then the Qiantang area can also be." Although it is not as prestigious as Gusu, it is also the hometown of good people, and if you want to come to your courtiers, you can also enjoy two years of Qingfu. ”

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "It's just these two places, the seventeenth brother will take a look, and the other places are up to you." ”

King Ning, who is only twenty-five or sixteen years old now, is the time when he is full of spirit, but he is not annoying, among these sons of Zhu Yuanzhang, if it comes to strategy, he and Zhu Di are almost equal. Except that because he was slightly less experienced and less courageous than Zhu Di, he was almost the only one who could compete with Zhu Di, Zhu Di refused twice, and he already understood that the situation he was most worried about had appeared---- his brother, like his nephew, would not trust him like his father. He won't be bored with himself anymore no matter what, "Brother Huang sees where it is appropriate, so point out the younger brother." ”

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Don't blame me for being partial, the battle of Jingjing, the seventeenth brother took the lead and was the first to support me, I had to favor him in my heart, I chose a good place for him in my heart, I hope other imperial brothers don't blame me for partiality." Seventeenth brother, take the order. ”

King Ning's face was a little worried, Zhu Di's direct edict at this time meant that there was no room for maneuver at all, if the two discussed privately, although they couldn't give him his favorite place, but if the designated place was too bad, he could always bargain. He did everything he could, and he wanted to get a good place in front of everyone, but he didn't expect to be rebelled by Zhu Di and put himself in a situation of defeat. Everyone is also the same as King Ning, and they all realize that the new emperor in front of them is not only the legendary undefeated god of war, but also the undisputed monarch, he has both the decisiveness that Zhu Yunwen did not have, and the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang did not have tactfulness.

"Brother takes the order." King Ning left the table, walked to the middle, and knelt down in front of Zhu Di.

"Ning Wang Zhu Quan, my seventeenth brother, has outstanding military achievements, and he has made meritorious contributions to Jingnan, and he is now sent to Nanchang, the domain of the domain, hoping that he will be stationed in the domain, relieve my worries, serve the country, and watch for the people." Zhu Di finished unhurriedly and word by word.

King Ning bowed his head, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

"The Holy Decree will be sent to your house, return to the banquet quickly, after dinner, let's go to the pavilion in the imperial garden to admire the moon." Zhu Di said with a smile.

King Ning returned to his seat, and the whole banquet seemed to be back to a level of leveling, but everyone's smiles were different from Fang Cai's. Zhu Di gave everyone a palace-made moon cake, and distributed the autumn watermelon to everyone, before leaving the table and walking to the pavilion. Xu Yunhua and I followed left and right, when I went up the steps, Zhu Di turned around and stretched out his hand to support me, Xu Yunhua's face remained the same, she had her own palace maids around her to support her, and she didn't need Zhu Di's traction.

Zhu Di deliberately quickened his pace, and soon walked in front of me, throwing off the person behind him, he looked back, and then whispered in my ear, "Do you remember that year in an official's courtyard in Jinan, it was also such a night?" ”

I lowered my head and smiled softly, "It's just that the night wasn't like today, and we weren't husband and wife that day." ”

"That's right. Every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the future, I will accompany you. Zhu Di took my hand into the palm of his hand, his eyes were deep.

I turned around and saw that everyone had caught up, and before I could respond to him, I quickly pulled my hand out, "Someone is coming." ”

Zhu Di smiled secretly, and became serious. The moonlight was hazy, the night was viscous, there were still a few black clouds floating in the air, and all the stars had been robbed of their brilliance by the bright moon, as if none of the people standing under the pavilion could look at Zhu Di's back.

After standing for a while, there was a flat boat in the Yuquan Pond not far away, except for a boatman on the boat, but there was only a black shadow, holding a long Xiao, whimpering and blowing. The whistling sound was melodious and tactful, the autumn breeze was rising, and everyone was already preparing to leave, but suddenly they heard this Xiao sound, and they all stopped and listened.

Zhu Di asked in a low voice, "Who is this?" ”

Xu Yunhua said, "Huizu was convicted, and the emperor did not allow him to take another half step out of the palace. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moment of family reunion, he can not come to the emperor to say goodbye, his heart is very uneasy, the is his wife Jiuniang, Jiuniang since childhood, Mao then recommended himself to come to a song of spring and snow to congratulate the emperor on the throne, the joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

I couldn't help but be surprised, I didn't expect Xu Yunhua to come up with such a way to intercede for Xu Huizu, Zhu Di was angry when he saw Xu Huizu, and with Xu Huizu's temperament, I am afraid that there is no remorse at all, and it is impossible to come to Zhu Di to bow his head and admit defeat.

Jiuniang is a woman and a relative, Zhu Di will not wait to see Xu Huizu again, and it is impossible to embarrass a woman in public, it seems that Xu Yunhua's organs are also exhausted.

Sure enough, Zhu Di said to Xu Yunhua, "It's cold in the pool, she's a woman, it's not safe on the water, it's not good to hurt the wind, and there are children at home, let her go back quickly." The music is good, you enjoy something well, so that they can have a good holiday. “

Xu Yunhua was overjoyed, and hurriedly bent his knees, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The concubine will go. ”

As soon as Xu Yunhua left, Zhu Di frowned, I knew that he was full of displeasure and didn't want to show it, so he didn't say anything, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, fireworks are about to be set off, and you can see the panorama when you stand here." ”

Zhu Di smiled, "I'll cover your ears for you later." ”

Sure enough, as soon as the sound of the flute stopped, some small flames began to flicker on the other side of the waterfront, and the playful palace daughters all clapped their hands and said, "It's coming, it's coming!" Before the words fell, a loud noise was heard, and a huge firework in the air spread out, forming a pattern of a prosperous peony, and after the colorful bloom, it slowly fell, leaving a burst of white smoke in the air still rising. Zhu Di smiled, "I didn't have time to cover your ears for you." ”

"I'm so squeamish. Look, there's more! As soon as I finished speaking, countless small flowers crackled in the air. It took a while to gradually quiet down.

Zhu Di said, "Do you like fireworks?" If you like it, you will often ask someone to show it to you in the future. ”

"Don't." I said with some frustration.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Di asked softly.

"Although the moment when the fireworks bloom is beautiful, it is too short after all, fleeting, and there will be no more after it disappears, and the fate of this life has come to an end.

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "Even if it is short, it must bloom beautifully, if it does not bloom for a while, it will be a dull life, what is the meaning of living?" ”<
