"Ahh Jungki! ”

Zhu Gaochi looked up and saw that it was his son, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Zhanji is still young and his strength is thin, so where can he pull Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi looked at his hard work, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Zhanji, Daddy is late to greet your imperial grandfather, he has lost his courtesy, and he has been punished by your imperial grandfather, without your imperial grandfather's will, Daddy can't get up!" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Daddy, the child just saw that his father was punished, and the child knew that he could only get up if the emperor's grandfather allowed his father." So I immediately went to ask the imperial grandfather, and the imperial grandfather agreed to the child, telling the father to get up and go back to the city with the honor guard! ”

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up and said, "Really? ”

A lieutenant who accompanied Zhu Zhanji bowed down and said, "Prince, get up, what the imperial grandson said is true." ”

Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed, and then he wanted to get up, but his legs were numb on his knees, and the two little attendants on the left and right caught up with him and hugged him, but he couldn't move. It took a lot of effort, with the help of the officials of the East Palace, the prince was able to stand up, and without waiting for him to move all his numb legs and feet, he quickly asked someone to move him into the car and chased after the back of the team.

The emperor returned to Beijing, went to the court, and was worshiped by hundreds of officials, in this process, the prince as the prince, always had to follow the emperor's side, although Zhu Di did not like the prince to be slow, in front of the internal and external ministers, but could not deprive the prince of his rights, so he always had to accompany him.

After the Hajj, Zhu Di ordered a large feast, and the monarchs and ministers enjoyed together.

These possible orders of the emperor were already in Zhu Gaoxu's prediction. The emperor has just returned to Beijing, especially with so many foreign envoys to pay tribute, which is an unprecedented event since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor has ten things to celebrate. So he had already done these preparations.

It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't give a banquet, if the emperor gives a banquet, he can't hold Buddha's feet temporarily, it's too hasty. All kinds of preparations in the palace are in order, and the imperial dining room is naturally fully prepared, and even the seats of the emperor's relatives, honorable heroes, and civil and military officials, including the seats of envoys from various countries, have been rehearsed, so there is no panic and cramped.

Zhu Di saw all this in his eyes, and his heavy face softened slightly. Xia Xun drove back from Yanziji, until he went to the court to stand on duty, and never had the opportunity to ask the prince about the situation until the emperor gave a banquet, so he got the opportunity and left his seat secretly.

The crown prince accompanied the emperor, and it was impossible to go to his side without being noticed, so Xia Xun did not try to get close to Zhu Gaochi, but chose Yang Shiqi, a subordinate official of the East Palace. Xia Xun approached Yang Shiqi and asked anxiously, "What's the matter, why is the prince too late?" ”

Yang Shiqi turned his head and saw that it was Xia Xun, and hurriedly whispered: "Guogong, this fact is an accident...... Yang Shiqi briefly said the matter, and said: "There is no chance now, we plan to wait for the banquet to disperse, and then go with the prince to explain the reason to the emperor......

Xia Xun immediately interrupted his words and said in a deep voice: "The important thing is not to explain, but to ask for guilt!" The explanation does not have to be said by the prince, the prince only needs to plead guilty! It's best for the grandson to say it, you can also see that the emperor loves the emperor's grandson the most, and he will explain it to get twice the result with half the effort. Also, if you don't think about anything, someone has to grab it and bear it, and you must keep the prince! ”

Yang Shiqi's face changed, and he said: "Guogong, it's just that I missed the car for some reason, is it so serious?" ”

Xia Xun stared at the emperor on the throne with heavy eyes, Zhu Di was talking to King Boni who was sitting in front of him, Xia Xun said in a low voice: "I only hope to ...... It doesn't get any worse than that! ”

Xia Xun turned around and left, Yang Shiqi stared at his back, his expression changed in an instant, and after a little hesitation, he also hurriedly dodged away!

After the banquet, the hundred officials withdrew from the palace, and Zhu Di sent King Boni and the envoys of the rest of the countries to His Majesty Dan, with a very cordial attitude.

The envoys of Japan and Timur are currently the most anxious, their country is in full swing, they can't wait to immediately grab Emperor Yongle to talk about this matter, if they can get the support of the Ming Dynasty, they can go back to the business. If the Ming Emperor could cooperate militarily, it would be even more unexpected.

But they also knew that Emperor Yongle had just returned to Beijing today, and had just held a banquet to entertain foreign envoys and ministers, so it was not appropriate to discuss military affairs at this time, so they had to endure it, like a pair of resentful women who had not been honored by the king for a long time, and only looked at Zhu Di with a pair of resentful eyes.

Zhu Di already knew the reason for their tribute, and when he saw them like this, he couldn't help but sigh, and instructed the lieutenant to tell them that he would choose a time to meet them, and the envoys of the two countries were overjoyed and happily resigned from the palace. Zhu Di had a long journey, and after returning to Beijing, he kept accepting the courtiers to worship and banqueting envoys from various countries, and he was really tired, so he drove the harem to rest.

As soon as he walked to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di saw the prince kneeling on the side of the road, and his face sank again. Zhu Gaochi heard the footsteps, raised his head slightly and saw the robe of a horned dragon robe, immediately kowtowed his head heavily, and said loudly: "The son of the minister missed the time to welcome him, and he has lost his courtesy, a big crime, and I respectfully ask my father to punish him!" ”

Zhu Di smiled coldly and said, "You also know about faux pas? I came back from Beijing, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, Chinese and foreign envoys, there is no shortage, you are my son, and you are the prison of the country, but you are late, and finally embarrassed on the side of the road to meet the car. Blazing! You haven't become an emperor yet, but this emperor's frame is bigger than being a father! ”

This sentence was too devastating, so shocked that Zhu Gaochi sweated like rain, kowtowed again and again, and only said: "The son is guilty, the son is guilty, and he is willing to be punished by his father, so as to establish the law of the country and be normal!" ”

Xia Xun hurriedly gave Yang Shiqi two sentences, which were in line with Zhu Gaochi's heart, he was just forced to be calm at the banquet, and he had been thinking about how to explain to the emperor. Zhu Gaochi knew that his father's temperament was a human being, and when he thought about it, he always felt that instead of justifying, it was better to ask for guilt, just a simple plea.

Although the emperor should know the reason for his delay, he can't say it himself, and with Xia Xun's prompt, Zhu Gaochi made up his mind, so he just kowtowed and asked for guilt, not saying anything else.

Zhu Di said coldly: "As a prince, every word and deed should be an example for hundreds of officials. Legislature and regularity? Yes, you understand that. You think I can spare you by pleading for sin! Gao Chi, the son is at fault, and the father can spare you. When a courtier is at fault, the king is rewarded and punished! You and I are not only father and son, but also monarchs and ministers! ”

Zhu Gaochi became more and more frightened when he heard him, don't dare to speak, just blindly kowtow: "The son is willing to be punished by his father!" ”

People's feelings are like this, even if it is between father and son, it is generally the same, if Lao Tzu looks at you unpleasantly, you are good to sit there and eat, Lao Tzu looks at it inexplicably annoyed, put down the chopsticks and want to scold you, a face of disgust, what can you do? He looked at the son he liked, and now he stole the money he hid under the mattress to buy snacks, and Ming'er kicked a ball and smashed the glass window of the neighbor's house, and this old man still treats him as a rare eyeball.

Zhu Xiaopang suffered a loss because he didn't like his father since he was a child, and such a big or small thing made him so embarrassed. If this slow thing was done by Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, I'm afraid Zhu Di wouldn't even bother to scold. Xiaopang felt aggrieved, but he only kowtowed and asked for guilt, and did not dare to have a word of defense.

He is angry, if he argues that he is wronged, Zhu Di can only quibble for any reason.

Are you stumbling? Did your car break down? Why did you go earlier? Why don't you even pay attention to repairing your own mount and driver? If you don't sweep a room, how can you sweep the world! Did your car break down? Can't you ride a horse and go to the river to pick up the car first, and you have to sit in the car and be stable? Did you miscalculate the timing of my return? Dare you to pinch a little to meet you, do you still have my father in your heart?

Zhu Xiaopang honestly admitted his mistake, but he didn't want to spare him when he saw Zhu Di's appearance, Zhu Di was angry, and he was still waiting to be reprimanded, and a young man in the distance suddenly ran over with a "puff", and without saying a word, he knelt down next to Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Di saw that it was his precious grandson Zhu Zhanji, and couldn't help but wonder: "Zhanji, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "The emperor's grandfather punished his father, and his grandson came to be punished with his father. ”

Zhu Di exclaimed: "You kid, your father has lost his manners, what does it have to do with you?" Don't mix it up, get up quickly. ”

Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "The ancient sages said: filial piety should not make his relatives cold, troubled, frightened, depressed, unspeakable, and hateful. The father was punished by the emperor's grandfather, frightened and depressed, remorseful and inexplicable, the grandson felt the same way, neither can he bear it on behalf of his father, then he can only suffer it with his father, and the grandson is doing his filial piety! ”

Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard this, with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Grandson, your father made a mistake, not that you made a mistake, the emperor's grandfather is practicing the law of the country, not the law of the family." Good grandson, hurry up, your little arms and legs are not green for a while, get up quickly. ”

Zhu Zhanji was willing to agree, only raised his head and said: "Grandpa Huang, there are parents all over the world, in the eyes of grandchildren, the father is the father, but you can't tell if you are wrong and I am wrong, if the father is really wrong, it is the grandson's fault, please ask the imperial grandfather to punish the grandson, spare the grandson's father, and fulfill the grandson's filial piety!" ”

Zhu Di was a little surprised, looked at him and said, "Who taught you these words?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "This is the master's teaching, the sage's training!" The grandchildren have long been in mind! ”

Zhu Di was silent for a moment, sighed softly, touched his head and said, "Good grandson, good grandson, get up, grandpa won't punish your father, get up quickly!" ”

"Grandpa Xie Huang!"

Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed and thanked, and hurriedly kowtowed, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi also kowtowed and said, "The son thanked his father!" ”

Zhu Di turned his face to him, and immediately turned cloudy again, he snorted heavily: "You, with your son being well-behaved, Lao Tzu doesn't know how much worry to save!" Go back to the womb and meditate on the past! Zhanji, let's go, take a bath with grandpa! ”

"Oh!" Zhu Zhanji agreed, got up and took Zhu Di's hand, turned his head and squeezed his eyes at his father.

Zhu Gaochi was not depressed: "I'm honest and follow the rules, why do I let you worry about it?" You look good, it's good. You don't look good at ......, what can I do? ”
