, "Chen Yang Xu............

"Sit down!"

"Emperor Xie!"

Xia Xun choked back halfway through his words, sat down on the chair that Mu En had moved, and bowed his hand to Zhu Di again: "I don't know if the emperor summoned me, but is there anything to tell the ministers?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Zhu Di's face became solemn, and he said straight to the point: "Recently, the words about Lichu in Beijing have spread very well, I want to know, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Xia Xun was slightly stunned, and then said: "The minister has also heard some discussions, the minister thinks, this is really in response to the old saying that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry, it stands to reason that when the emperor is still the king of Yan, His Royal Highness is the prince, the emperor is now the son of heaven, His Royal Highness should naturally be the prince, the emperor does not set up a prince, there must be some consideration, as a courtier, just wait for the holy judge and leave, why did he come to chew the root of this tongue." ”

"Slippery, Yang Xu, you are very slippery!"

Zhu Di pointed at Xia Xun with his finger and said: "There is no one else in this palace, since I asked you, you will answer honestly, you say, who should be the prince of my three sons!" ”

Xia Xun's expression also became serious: "Your Majesty does have the heart of easy storage? ”

Zhu Di said lightly: "I haven't established a reserve yet, how can I say that it is easy to store?" ”

Xia Xun was silent.

Zhu Di also glanced at him and asked, "What?" Do you also think that Gao Chi is the prince of the world, and now it is logical to be the prince? ”

Xia Xun took a deep breath and said, "The emperor's intentions, the minister understands. The emperor is wise and powerful, and the cadres are autocratic, if he already has a plan in his heart, he will not ask about being a minister. The emperor is very embarrassed about this, right? ”

Zhu Di was silent for a moment, and sighed softly: "Yes, I won't hide it from you, I really have no idea in my heart about this matter." Frankly speaking, Gao Chi is a good child, xiōng is broad, xìng is benevolent, and has the style of a king. During the four years of Jingnan, he was alone in Beiping, and he was especially good at managing political affairs, and it was difficult for me to be satisfied with his ......, and I couldn't find anything wrong. ”

At this time, the eloquent Emperor Yongle was just a kind father, and when he talked about his son, he was full of pride and pride. He looked at Xia Xun and said: "Yang Xu, do you know that the reason why I can't make a decision is not because my son's qualifications are mediocre, and it is difficult to pick out a prince who can inherit the unification, on the contrary, because my sons are too good, and the three princes have their own strengths and mediocrity, so it is difficult for me to choose!" ”

Xia Xun didn't push the boat down the river and asked why since the princes are all excellent, then set up the prince in the order of the eldest and youngest, Zhu Di is a shrewd person, since he said it so clearly, if you pretend to be stupid, it will be boring to ask for yourself. So Xia Xun also asked bluntly: "So, is it because His Royal Highness is in such a difficult situation that His Royal Highness is not in good health?" ”

Zhu Di said: "This is just one of the reasons. Gao Chi has been obese since he was a child, no matter how he practiced dieting, it didn't work, I asked Lang Zhong to diagnose and treat him, this is a disease, and there is no good medicine to treat. However, if you think that I am worried that Gao Chi will go ahead of me, then you are wrong, very wrong! I am at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it will not be a problem to live for another twenty or thirty years, right? By that time, my emperor will be an adult, and he will be the crown prince, so what is there to worry about? ”

Zhu Di smiled bitterly: "I have been sick for a long time............ I can't prolong my life, I'm not worried about his short life, I'm worried about his longevity! ”

"Huh?"

Xia Xun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, Zhu Di said: "Gao Chi is my son, of course I want my son to live a long life, but ...... An emperor who is weak and often sick can only linger on the sickbed, how to govern this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? Yes, Gao Chi is very capable, he has guarded Beiping for more than four years and has done a lot of things, but the three places in Beiping are only the big places, and he also took advantage of the young, what about the future? I can't help but think about it! ”

Zhu Di pounded tuǐ and said: "Gao Chi's health is not good, if it is another decade or two, when he is older, his energy will be even worse, such a huge country, there are thousands of chapters just every day, even I often feel unbearable, can Gao Chi take care of it?" Rather than this, it is better to be an idle prince and raise his life. ”

"In addition to this question, there is also Gao Xu. In terms of martial arts, you also know. Gao Xu is very much like me. In terms of cultural governance, Gao Xu has never had the opportunity to contact, in fact, even in the four years in the army, Gao Xu has not forgotten to read, his calligraphy is arrogant, self-contained, and the poems and articles are also very good, especially when he saved me from all difficulties several times, I once implicitly said to him, once it is done, yù will make him the prince, and now it is not good to break his promise! ”

Xia Xun's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked, "Since Your Majesty thinks that Your Highness is the best candidate, what is Your Majesty hesitating about?" ”

Zhu Di said slowly: "Gao Chi has never made any mistakes, how can I revoke his qualifications to establish a reserve?" The most important thing is that if I break the rules of establishing a successor, I am afraid that as long as I exist in the Ming Dynasty, the royal family will never have peace! 朕yù立高煦, is to consider the present, not reluctant to be high, is to consider the future generations, alas! family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs; The past, the present, and the future ......, and I am embarrassed! ”

Xia Xun let out a long sigh and said emotionally, "The emperor is concerned with his ministers, how can I refuse to share my worries for Your Majesty." It's just that ......, I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, and the place where the ministers are embarrassed is also here. ”

"Oh?"

Xia Xun said: "Your Majesty, you know that the relationship between the minister and the three princes is good, no matter which prince can inherit the unification, he will not treat the minister badly, and the minister will definitely not have any sī heart in the emperor's appointment."

In fact, the minister's concern is exactly the same as His Majesty's, but the reason is not the same as His Majesty's, the minister was originally worried that the emperor's eldest son is not in good health, once there is something wrong......

However, the second prince is worried that this rule will be broken, so that His Majesty's grandchildren and grandchildren will quarrel endlessly over this throne. Minister...... I really don't know how to choose, anyway, the minister is His Majesty's courtier, just be loyal to His Majesty and leave, the minister méng emperor favors the trust, has to be hereditary prince, don't say goodbye, and the Ming is the same rest, if the emperor designates which prince is the crown prince, the minister and the minister are different, cut, will also be in accordance with the emperor's wishes, try their best to be loyal and leave! ”

Zhu Di was a little moved when he heard this, but after being slightly moved, he thought about it carefully, although what this kid said was good, he didn't say a useful word, so he couldn't help but glance at him, and said unhappily: "I called you here to listen to your loyalty?" ”

Xia Xun said chi: "According to the minister's opinion, Your Majesty is not as good as ............ Let's put it ...... first."

"Put it down?" Zhu Di waved his big hand: "The Chinese Wudu has begun to form a gang." ”

He picked up the copy of the book at hand, and said on the imperial book case: "Oh, look at it, Pingqiang General Song Shengyuan came from Xiliang to see me," Hmph, he came from afar, and he knew that he had prepared a gift in advance, and he stammered to give Gao Xu a gift. And the Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately went to the concert to impeach him for arrogance and self-despotism in Xiliang, what is the specific crime? Bark up the wrong tree! There is no evidence! ”

Xia Xun said calmly: "So what, can you get out of His Majesty's control?" Since Your Majesty can't make a decision, why don't you put it aside lightly and see what the ministers will do first, what the princes will do.

"Huh?"

Zhu Di dropped the fold, stood up, rolled up his sleeves and carried it behind him, "Pacing lightly in the hall, Xia Xun saw this, and stood up with a hurry. Zhu Di pondered for a long time, sighed softly, and the leader said: ", "Well, let it go first, it's okay to ......"

Xia Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "He drank three bubbles of tea last night, and finally thought through the stakes of the matter of fighting for succession, he can't mix this matter, at least not now."

Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, for the emperor, mixing and mixing are the same thing, it doesn't matter if the emperor puts his heart on him, if he feels like jī tears are below zero, he will also have a dissection of the liver and gall, no matter what he says, maybe he will be killed in the future, he is close to the emperor again, and he can kiss the emperor's own son? People have turned their faces today, and tomorrow they will still be the two of them, and he can't afford to fight.

Zhu Di seemed to want to open up a little more, and he was no longer so annoyed, he glanced at Xia Xun and said, "Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being and wait and see what happens." I have another trouble here, but it's about you, you can help me share my worries! ”

Xia Xunqi said: "About the minister? What is the matter with the minister that makes His Majesty worry about the minister? ”

Zhu Di snorted angrily, stared at him, and asked coldly, "You and Miaojin, do you have a relationship?" ”

Zhu Gaochi took the princess Zhang and his son Zhu Zhanji in Kunning Palace.

Zhang's filial piety and docility, shì in-laws are attentive and thoughtful, so they have always been very fond of Zhu Difu, their son is four years old this year, and when Zhu Dijing was difficult to raise troops, this big son had just been born. After four years of martyrdom, Zhu Di was in no danger, but he stumbled all the way, and sometimes when he thought about it, he couldn't believe it. When he joked, he said that this was a good blessing brought to him by his eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji, plus Zhu Zhanji was indeed smart and clever, and he was loved by him more than the pearl in his palm.

Every day, Zhu Gaochi took his son into the palace to greet his parents, but his father went to court early and came back late, and most of the time he just chatted with his mother. A few days ago, because he had just entered the winter, the little guy was a little uncomfortable, and his body was a little uncomfortable, so he didn't bring him, the queen mother thought strangely, today his son was in good shape, so he brought him here, Concubine Xu was very happy when she saw it, and hugged her grandson for a while.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji took off his boots, and was running around on the dragon and phoenix chuáng with bare feet, making a mess, and the Zhang family saw that he had just scolded two sentences, and was stopped by Queen Xu, who loved her grandson, and pulled her to sit on the edge of the couch, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about family life. Zhu Gaochi sat on a chair and drank tea with a smile.

Empress Xu saw her son sitting there honestly, and suddenly remembered the rumors of Yi Chu who had been circulating in Beijing recently. The eldest son is kind and honest, and his health is not good, so he loves her mother very much, she knows that her husband prefers the second son more, and the second son will also come to see his father.

But this eldest son, honest, seeing that the position of the prince is about to be snatched away by his younger brother, he is still ignorant and unaware as if he has nothing to do, although he abides by filial piety and enters the palace every day to ask for peace, but when he sees his father, he is silent, in addition to accepting his father's inquiry, that is, accepting his father's instructions, the father and son are like teachers teaching students, this kind of too old-fashioned xìng grid, no wonder the husband doesn't like it.

"But ......, my husband likes this little son very much, and he is close to him in the next generation!"

Empress Xu had the heart to make her husband and eldest son closer, so she said to Zhu Gaochi: "Gao Chi, my mother and daughter-in-law have a conversation, you can take Zhan Ji to see your father." ”

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he hurriedly said: "My father is worried about state affairs, so my son should not bother." ”

Empress Xu is angry and funny, this son is also shrewd in handling political affairs, but he is very dull at this time, so he said: "Your father and the emperor also want to see the base, bring it over, he should be in the palace now, and there is no foreign minister, let his grandson talk to him, just rest his mind." ”

As soon as Zhang heard his mother's instructions, he had already stood up and beckoned his son: "Zhanji, come here, don't run, come and put on your boots, and go with your father to meet the imperial grandfather, the imperial grandfather has delicious snacks for you." ”

Empress Xu glanced at her daughter-in-law fù and said in her heart: "The daughter-in-law fù is a person who understands, Gao Chi, this child...... "Hey!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the palace, Xia Xun Khan came down, he knelt on the ground, swore and confessed, he and the little county lord have no hidden feelings, if there is a word that is not true, the sky is thundering and thundering............

The relationship between men and women is originally two things, but since men dominate the world, men to women have become possession, and women to men, in some cases, have become taken advantage of. The problem is that there are some women who can't take advantage of it.

And whether it is in terms of age or identity, Xia Xun seems to be unable to get rid of the suspicion of taking advantage of other little girls, if this little girl's brother-in-law is the emperor......

Xia Xun explained incoherently, Zhu Di was so impatient to hear it, and directly interrupted him: "It's done, don't say it, I know that you don't have clever words, you didn't take advantage of her, I will ask you, if Miaojin intends to make a lifelong promise, you ...... Would you like to? ”

Xia Xun squeaked and said, "Minister...... The minister's family already has two wives, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid I don't deserve the county lord. ”

Zhu Di laughed angrily and said: "If you are worthy of it, I only ask you, if you are willing!" ”

"Minister......

"Huh?"

"Minister...... Please, Holy Judge! ”

"Do you like it or not, do you want to judge? Do you know if you like it or not? Oh......"

Zhu Di suddenly understood, and laughed twice and said, "I understand." Well, Miaojin is gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable, beautiful, and beautiful, so it's no wonder you're tempted. Since you like Miaojin, and Miaojin likes you, then it will be, there are no clouds in the sky, no rain in the sky, no matchmaking on the ground, I will be your big matchmaker, okay? ”

Xia Xun was dizzy when he heard it, if Zhu Di didn't call himself me, he would almost think that Zhu Di had been a matchmaker.

In fact, the little county lord is beautiful and cute, and he is gentle and cheerful, how can Xia Xun not like it? But he knew that he already had a wife, and with Ming'er's family background, it was impossible for him to be wronged by this, and he had a wife and children, and he had responsibilities on his shoulders, so he couldn't be so reckless and ignore it, so he suppressed his feelings with reason, and didn't dare to indulge its flooding at all.

At this moment, hearing that the emperor was willing to protect the media for him, Xia Xun's heart defense finally opened, and he was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed: "Minister...... Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

This one head knocked, he was sincere, and there was no perfunctory, but...... Emperor Yongle was stunned instead, and said in a slur manner: "Ahem, I ...... It doesn't matter if you are a matchmaker, it doesn't matter if you are married, it's just ............, I ...... I also have a reluctant request, as long as you agree, this is like huā beauty, it is yours! ”

Xia Xun was stunned for a moment, raised his head and said, "What does Your Majesty want the minister to promise?" ”@。
