Chapter 51: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet in the Eleventh Year of Yongle (Ask for Recommendation)

Zhu Gaoxu was also stunned by this majestic answer, and couldn't help but turn around completely and look at the 14-year-old little nephew behind him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the first time, he discovered that this little hairy child, who had always been used by the prince's family as a weapon to seize the heir, had really grown up.

Seeing him standing in front of him, his height was about to catch up with Uncle Huang, he was in the period of puberty, and his lips were covered with dense black fine hair, and in a few years, those hairs should turn into a hard man's beard.

Although his father publicly announced that he would pass the throne to this eldest brother, who could not walk steadily, which made King Han feel aggrieved and resentful, but after calming down, he thought, with the body of the eldest brother, how many years can he sit on the throne?

Now that his father's power is still there, Zhu Gaoxu has a fear; If the father is no longer in the future, who is this country, I am afraid that it will still be like the father who seized the throne back then, and fight with a sword to say whose it is!

King Han originally felt that without the protection of his father, the weak eldest brother could not compete with him at all, but now he was a little sad to find that on the way to seize the heir, the eldest brother was not afraid, but this little nephew was a strong opponent and had to guard against him at all times.

And the young Zhu Zhanji, he didn't know that his casual response to his father's riback gave him a real enemy, and it changed the life of Wu Erhong, the master of the eighth grade.

After worshipping the filial piety tomb, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di learned the lesson of this year's Dragon Boat Festival this time, and immediately asked King Zhao to set off immediately and return to the fiefdom.

Although Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, did not go to Qingzhou to become a vassal, he also obediently left the palace and returned to his remote mansion outside the imperial city.

Eight years without reunion, this time back to the palace did not even leave a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his father and emperor, Zhu Gaoxu was forced to leave in a hurry, Zhu Di is really ruthless.

When the king of Han said goodbye, he did not let any officials or subordinates go to see him off. He was just one meter away from the curtain of the Dongnuan Pavilion in Zhu Di's Fengtian Palace, and kowtowed to his father Zhu Di three times from a distance.

The chamberlain Ma Yun asked him to go in and kowtow again, Zhu Gaoxu refused, and said loudly inside: "I think the last thing my father wants to see at this moment is his son, because I am afraid that I will be sad and distracted if I see it." Father, your difficulties are understood by your sons. Farewell, Father. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's voice suddenly whimpered in the cold wind of parting.

Zhu Di in the warm pavilion was also blurred by tears.

"The Qingdi should be old today, and he will see you a few times." Tang Dynasty poet Shang Yan sighed in "Chinese New Year's Eve".

And on this Chinese New Year's Eve in the eleventh year of Yongle, Wu Erhong felt that it seemed to be shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

The New Year's dishes are very rich, and the first thing that the Imperial Diet Division presents is the "Ten Thousand Years Ruyi" big bowl of dishes: bird's nest "ten thousand" word gold and silver duck, bird's nest "year" word three fresh fat chicken, bird's nest "Ru" word pot roast duck, bird's nest "Yi" word assorted chicken shreds;

The second is the four dishes of Huai Wan: bird's nest duck strips, silk pigeon eggs, chicken silk wings, and duck waist;

Then there are four dishes: bird's nest fried duck shreds, fried pheasant feet, fried carp, shredded meat and scrambled eggs; Two products of the plate - hanging duck, hanging pig;

Finally, there are two kinds of gluttony: white sugar oil cake and ruyi roll; Bird's nest soup with eight immortals.

After all the delicacies of the mountains and seas were ready, the great eunuch Ma Gonggong first personally served the soup to the emperor, and then his apprentice Xiao Dezi sent soup to the princes, concubines, and concubines.

Before each dish came up, Xiao Anzi, who was in charge of announcing the name of the dish, was like singing a song, dragging a long tone and reporting it to everyone one by one.

When he sang in his usual long voice: "Next dish: bird's nest fried duck shreds——"

Zhu Di blurted out: "Quick, quick, this is Gao Xu's favorite dish, give him a little more ......"

Ma Gonggong, who was arranging cloth vegetables in Xingxing, was stunned when he heard this, and he was at a loss for a moment and froze in place. The atmosphere during the banquet suddenly became very delicate.

Only then did Zhu Di remember that King Han had left the palace and was on his way home at this time.

Before the order of the king of Han to leave the palace was issued, the crown prince begged his father to promise his two younger brothers to stay for the New Year, after all, it was not easy for them to return to the palace.

At that time, Zhu Di's attitude was even more resolute when he heard this, and insisted that the king of Han and the king of Zhao leave immediately after paying homage.

But now this casual behavior makes people see the emperor's concern for the king of Han. In fact, in his heart, how much he hoped that it was this second son who would accompany him to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Although Zhu Di is not a person who is full of joy and anger, on this festive day of family reunion, his father, who is one year old, still can't help but reveal his true feelings.

After all, purely emotionally, the relationship between the emperor and the king of Han is the deepest. Their friendship was earned by their lives on the battlefield.

This is known to all those present.

At this time, seeing his father's gaffe behavior, the expressions on the faces of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and the crown princess Zhang Cuiyun, and the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji were very complicated.

Throughout the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they were a little unpleasant. Perhaps, from the emperor's thoughts about the King of Han, they faintly felt some kind of crisis.

"The higher you climb, the worse you fall", they are people who absolutely can't afford to lose, so the current prince is in the same vein, and there is absolutely no room for a trace of unstable factors.

After the dinner, as usual, the emperor would distribute various kinds of food and even plates to the ministers.

"Send the large plate of silver and jade inlaid with "bird's nest fried duck shreds" and send it to the king of Han. Zhu Di had a whim and gave such an order.

This jade plate jade quality is warm, silver silk ornaments are all around the plate body, jade and silver are matched with each other, virtual and real are born together, complement each other, it is really a treasure.

"Yes, Your Majesty. May I ask if the emperor can have an edict to convey to the king of Han. Ma Gonggong asked without losing any time.

"You tell him that this jade plate is a plate that King Han used when he was a child, and it is something handed down by Taizu. Seeing the plate is like seeing the emperor's grandfather and father. By the way, another imperial chef who is the best at 'bird's nest stir-fried duck shreds' will send it to him. Zhu Di thought for a while and said.

"The emperor's heart for the King of Han is really touching, the old slave thinks, the King of Han received the royal gift of the gold inlaid jade plate, he will be grateful to tears." Ma Yun's treacherous voice was like a jarring note of discord, and every word was drawn on the heartstrings of the prince's family.

Zhu Di ordered someone to give the Han king cloth vegetables and give him a silver-inlaid jade plate on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and Zhu Zhanji returned to Guan Ju Palace to tell Erhong.

Wu Erhong was not present at the time. For such a banquet, Erhong and Sun Lingwei, who are not of sufficient grade, are not qualified to participate.
