Chapter 928 Father and Son Monarch and Minister

There was a horse upside down on the road, and a car collapsed next to it.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi stood in front of the car, and Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi and other officials of the East Palace all gathered around him, looking into the distance.

"Prince, I'm back!"

A light car suddenly came in the distance, and before the car arrived, Zhongguan Yiyi, who was sitting in the front of the car, shouted at the top of his voice, and the voice was like a woman who had been widowed for eighteen years, and suddenly found that the man who was said to have died in a foreign land suddenly returned home.

The carriage rolled up smoke and dust all the way, and stopped abruptly in front of Zhu Gaochi, the coachman tightly strangled the horse, and Yi Yi rolled over from the wheels to the ground, picked up Zhu Gaochi and said: "Prince, you are in a hurry, the slave will help you get into the car!" ”

Zhu Gaochi didn't have time to say much, so he hurriedly boarded the car and sat down, and instructed the coachman: "Go!" Hurry to the docks! ”

The coachman immediately shook the reins of the horse, and the horse ran forward with a high cart, and Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi and others, who were relieved, also got on the horse and galloped behind the car.

Zhu Gaochi rushed to the palace early this morning, summoned the stewards and eunuchs of the 24 eunuchs of the inner palace, and asked them one by one about all the matters that were waiting for the return of the Son of Heaven today, and after confirming that it was correct, he left the palace and drove to Yanziji to meet him.

The car had just driven out of the city of Nanjing, and somehow, one of the horses pulling the cart lost its front hoof and broke its leg. It doesn't hurt if the horse pulling the cart breaks a leg, just leave a guard behind, and change his horse to drive it. But when the horse fell, he pulled the wheel, and I don't know whether it was in disrepair or rotten, and the wheel snapped.

Zhu Gaochi's body is obese, and he still has foot disease in one leg, how can he be a horse. If he had been turned upside down by the river, his hat would have been crooked, and his clothes would have been twisted, wouldn't the dignified prince lose face in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces plus the fifteen foreign envoys?

Zhu Gaochi knew that his image was not very good, so he was particularly concerned about his image in front of the public, and because he saw that there was still time, he asked Yi Yi to go back to his home and get another car. Who knew that Yi Yi's trip took too long, and the prince was so anxious that he sweated in his head.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Zhu Gaochi sat in the car, urging the groom urgently, and the groom's whip was like rain, and the car was about to fly, bumping all the way. Yang Pu and Yang Shiqi urged the horse to approach one left and one right, and said to Zhu Gaochi: "Don't worry, the prince, according to the time sent before, we will be able to arrive before the emperor crosses the river." ”

On the car, Yi Yi kept confessing and explaining to Zhu Gaochi: "The prince forgives the sin, the slave and maid could have come back earlier, but I didn't want to go on the way, I first met a family to marry, blocked the road, and on the way back, I passed through an intersection, and there were a few splashes fighting, and finally dispersed them, which delayed some efforts."

Zhu Gaochi was anxious, but he comforted Yi Yi in turn: "It's not your fault, I won't blame you." ”

Zhu Gaochi also knew that there was still time, but it was always bad to be too hasty. If the emperor's relatives and the Manchu Dynasty have arrived, his crown prince will be late, and it will be inevitable for people to gossip in their eyes, Zhu Gaochi knows that his father doesn't like him, and he doesn't want to have anything to annoy his father.

I didn't want the car to be galloping, and a sudden arrow from the string rushed forward, and the guard in front of the car immediately stepped forward and shouted: "The prince's guard of honor, come and make way!" ”

The prince's guard of honor is waving the flag, whether it is an official or a citizen, there is no need for them to shout, just look at this guard of honor, even if you don't recognize this as the prince's team, you can know that it is a great big man, and he will naturally avoid the side of the road, but this person does not dodge, and directly collides with their team.

Several guards noticed something was wrong, and stepped forward, the long knife at his waist was already unsheathed, and the cold light was awe-inspiring, pointing directly at the other party.

The person who came shouted: "Get out of the way, Auxiliary Guogong urgent news, Prince!" The Auxiliary State ordered the villain to come and report the news, and the emperor ...... The emperor has arrived at Swallow Rock! ”

"What?"

When Zhu Gaochi heard it in the car, his fat face, which was originally swollen red, suddenly turned pale, and he was stunned: "Father...... Arrived? ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The big ship lowered the ladder, and the two-compartment palace played Lego. Emperor Yongle of the net was dressed in a winged crown regular clothes, wearing a black gauze folded scarf, a disc collar, narrow sleeves, twelve chapters of the dragon, and jade leather boots, and appeared majestically on the bow of the ship.

Immediately, like a mountain, led by Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, the emperor's relatives, civil and military officials, vassal kings of various countries, envoys, and the royal forest army on both wings knelt down in unison, shouting in unison: "Knock to the emperor!" ”

Zhu Di walked down the gangway calmly, and Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, hurriedly kowtowed again: "Sons and daughters welcome their father!" ”

"Hmmm! Well? ”

Zhu Di just bowed his head, and suddenly frowned, and saw that something was wrong. If he has many sons, and Zhu Gaochi is just a prince, if he stands in the crowd, Zhu Di may not be able to find out if he is not there if he sweeps it so casually. But he has a total of three sons, and there are only two in Nanjing, and the one who doesn't see anyone is still the prince of the dynasty, how can Zhu Di not notice.

Zhu Di's eyes swept and asked lightly, "Where is the prince?" ”

King Han hurriedly said: "Well......, Erchen doesn't know, Erchen has already found out that the imperial brother is not there, and he has already sent someone to ask." ”

Zhu Di snorted, pressed the matter and didn't mention it, and gently raised his hand to the ministers and said, "All the ministers are flat!" ”

Xia Xun made a mistake at his feet, so he wanted to go out of class to meet him, although this was not in accordance with the rules, but with his identity, it could not be overcome.

Unexpectedly, King Han stood up, immediately took a step forward, and smiled at Zhu Di: "Congratulations to my father, Zheng He was ordered to patrol Nanyang, and he has now triumphed." The countries of the South Seas admired the Celestial Empire, and the countries through which my Ming fleet passed all inherited the emperor's will, felt the kindness of the Celestial Empire, and had tribute. Zheng He, I haven't seen the emperor yet! ”

When Zheng He heard the call, he immediately flashed out and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Di was very happy when he saw Zheng He, who had followed him for many years, and he stepped forward, helped him up, and said with a smile: "It's been two years, and you're back, hehe......"

Xia Xun sighed secretly and stood back again. Here, Zheng He and Zhu Di exchanged a few words, and then arched his hand and said: "The emperor is in the air, and the guests from all over the world are served." The slaves and maids were ordered to tour the south, and now the Ryukyu Zhongshan, Shannan, Borneo, Aru, Sumatra, Manraka, Hungni, Champong, Siam, Punggara, Nanhuli, Little Gelan and other countries sent envoys to pay tribute. ”

King Han hurriedly said: "Father, the king of Boni Kingdom is even more brought by the princess, prince, and princess to make a pilgrimage!" In addition, the envoys of Japan and Timur also came to pay tribute, barbarians and all countries came to the court, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor! ”

Zhu Di was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and invite King Boni and the envoys of all countries to come forward to see me!" ”

King Han hurriedly waved his hand, and the envoys from various countries who were waiting to pay homage came forward to pay respects, Zheng He introduced their identities to the emperor one by one, Xia Xun stood in the class and was secretly anxious: "Why is the prince too late to welcome such a big thing?" ”

But at this kind of pass, he can't make any moves, let alone defend the prince, Xia Xun turned his head and looked back, and the black pressure behind him was full of hundreds of officials, where could he see that the prince's car was not coming. Xia Xun sighed, his eyes turned, and he was meeting Yang Rong, a bachelor who was also looking back, and both of them looked worried......

The emperor drove back to the city, with twelve dragon flags on the left and right, one Beidou flag, one Daxu in front, and one leopard tail flag in the back. After that, there are 54 flags, such as the sun flag, the moon flag, the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, the Xuanwu, the wind, the clouds, the thunder, the rain, etc., each flag holds the flag and the armor is one person, and the bow is four warriors, and then there is the golden gourd knife and the yellow Luo umbrella cover......

Before and after the Emperor Jin's reign, there were countless Han generals, brocade clothes and fish suits, Zhang Luo umbrella covers, followed by the emperor's relatives, the six cabinet departments, foreign envoys, officials of various departments and offices, except for a few old and frail people who could not ride horses in a sedan chair, others and so on all rode horses to accompany and follow, the royal forest army on both sides guarded, mighty, along the official road to Jinling City.

In the middle of the guard of honor, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them, people, horses, and cars, all of whom avoided the avenue and stopped in the wild grass on the side of the road, and all of them knelt on the ground.

The royal bead curtain is rolled high, and the roadside scene has been seen by Zhu Di, and Zhu Di's peaceful color is like a sudden dyeing of autumn frost and sinks. He raised his hand lightly, and the eunuch outside the car immediately shouted: "Stop! ”

The car stopped, and Zhu Gao said loudly: "The son is late, and the father forgives the sin!" ”

Zhu Di glanced at him coldly, and as soon as he waved his hand, the eunuch immediately shouted: "Okay!" ”

The car drove forward slowly, but before the will was obtained, Zhu Gaochi and the officials and subordinates of the East Palace knelt on the spot and did not dare to get up, so they had to fall to the ground. The emperor's guard of honor did not stop for a moment, and went straight down the official road, and the large team of people and horses followed closely, and the emperor's relatives, envoys from various countries, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty passed all the way, and saw the prince's appearance of pleading guilty and sweating on the ground.

Seeing that the prince is so embarrassed, there are many people who have compassion among the officials, but at this moment, how can it be the time to intercede? Making any gesture of sympathy for the crown prince now will only make the emperor even angrier.

Xia Xun came by car because of his injuries, and he also saw the prince's situation, but at this time he was powerless, so he could only sigh gloomily: "The emperor, after all, is the emperor, between father and son, separated by the relationship between the monarch and the minister, the blood relationship is not weak, but also faded......"

The emperor's guard of honor and the procession of welcoming hundreds of officials were endless, and it took half an hour to finish, kneeling in place for so long, even a normal person was dizzy and his legs were numb, not to mention Zhu Gaochi's fat body, he lay in place, sweating like rain, and his legs were completely unconscious.

But the emperor walked away without saying a word, and before he got his will, how could he move, even if he knelt down here today, he had to grit his teeth and hold on. Zhu Gaochi held his hands on the ground and knelt very hard, not only was his face covered with beads of sweat, dripping into the soil, and his clothes were even soaked.

Zhu Gao's hands trembled slightly, the Venus in front of him was chaotic, sometimes blackened, and he was about to faint on the spot, more than a dozen royal forest soldiers suddenly escorted a car out of the distant honor guard and rushed straight to them. Before the car came to a stop, a young man jumped out of the car, put on his robe and wore the official road, ran quickly in front of Zhu Gaochi, hugged his arm and called: "Daddy, hurry up!" ”
