Chapter 37: A Family Reunion
Ji Mao, July of the first year of Jianwen.
At this juncture, the long river of time took a sharp turn, and history has since become unrecognizable.
Zhu Di did not raise troops to the south under the banner of "Yasukuni is in trouble, Qing Jun's side" this month, this general, who has fought in the north for half his life, is now like an ordinary landlord, staying at home every day with his wife and concubines, and occasionally calling some cronies to drink back to idle wine, and the whole person almost instantly aged by more than ten years.
rebelling to become the emperor is like Zhu Di's dream from a certain point of view. Over the years, the driving force that has supported him has become stronger and stronger, and it is also this dream. When he decided to give up this dream, he was no longer the victorious King Yan, he was just Zhu Di, who had reached the age of no doubt. A husband, a father.
In the pavilion, Xu Yihua looked at the hero in front of him who he had admired for decades very worriedly, and gently put his hand on the latter's big hand full of calluses and scars, but he didn't say a word.
The husband and wife are in love with each other, where Zhu Di's change came from, Xu Yihua always knows it, since the Southwest Incident, everything planned by Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao, Xu Yihua knows, but in the end, they all failed, which hit Zhu Di very hard, and even made Zhu Di fall into deep self-doubt in today's situation.
There is a big drama not far from the two of them, and there is an opera troupe working on it, this kind of scene has never been seen in Yanwangfu in the past 20 years, Zhu Di has never listened to the play, "The sound of the delight, disturbing the sound of the lonely ear." ”
Zhu Di's favorite music is the collision of Jin Ge's iron horse and the muffled thunder of the iron horse's charge, but now, Zhu Di has been listening to the big drama in the house for three days.
The barracks have not been there for nearly half a month.
Zhang Yu, the commander of Zhu Di's personal guards, was outside the mansion and stopped any military intelligence reports.
"The Buddha said that it is easy to pick up and difficult to put down."
Zhu Di patted Xu Yihua's hand, "Now I'm down, you have to be happy for me." ”
Zhu Gaoxu sat behind Zhu Di, and said angrily, "What truth can a group of bald people without ancestors talk about." ”
The so-called parents of the body and skin, and say that unfilial piety has three no queens, no matter from which point of view, the profession of monks, in the eyes of the ancient ruling class, will not look down on them.
"The second child's temper is just too much with me."
Zhu Di smiled at Xu Yihua and said softly, "In the future, you will have to discipline him more, let him learn from the old university, you should be humble and cautious." ”
Xu Yihua bit her lip, she couldn't say anything, these days, every word that the person next to her pillow said to herself seemed to be explaining what was behind her, which made people feel furious.
The family sat in the pavilion, but the atmosphere was heavy like a farewell, and when a man in costume walked over, he couldn't help but slow down his pace.
"Zhu Neng is here, what's the matter?"
Zhu Di glanced sideways slightly.
Zhu Neng knelt down on one knee beside Zhu Di's hand, and couldn't help but be happy in his voice, "Lord Wang, His Royal Highness the Prince is back." ”
Zhu Di didn't have time to recover from his stunned shock, and he saw a group of people rushing into the courtyard, the first person, who could it be if it wasn't Zhu Gaochi.
"Father!"
Zhu Gaochi knelt down a few steps away from Zhu Di, "Son, you're back." ”
"The daughter-in-law knocks on her father-in-law."
Behind Zhu Gaochi, his wife Zhang also knelt down with Zhu Zhanji, who was still in infancy, and beside Zhu Gaochi's two concubines.
Zhu Di got up, and his body, which was once as stable as Mount Tai, couldn't help but shake it, so frightened that Zhu Neng hurriedly held on, and waved his hand at the same time, dispelling the already silent troupe.
"Coming back?"
Zhu Di really didn't expect that he hadn't waited for Zhu Yunwen's holy decree to surrender and give death, but instead saw his eldest son and grandson first.
Grandson, my Zhu Di's grandson.
Zhu Di walked quickly to his daughter-in-law's side, and lightly took the swaddling clothes from the latter's arms, "Hurry up, you are a great hero of our family." ”
The group got up at this time, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di with a smirk, this look was something he had never seen before, it seems that this kind of thing has nothing to do with identity and status, the love in Zhu Di's eyes cannot be faked.
"Lonely's good grandson." Zhu Di looked at the child, and Xiao Zhanji also stared at the old man in front of him with big eyes, and suddenly grinned, this time, he almost didn't melt Zhu Di's heart.
"Children are not afraid of birth."
Zhu Gaochi stepped forward and sat down with Zhu Di in his arms, "It may also be that Zhan Ji is connected to you by blood and recognizes you." ”
"Junki." Zhu Di teased the child, "The name was given by the emperor?" ”
Zhu Gaochi's heart trembled, this was the first time he heard Zhu Di call Zhu Yunwen Emperor instead of the little emperor, little nephew and other arrogant titles, his father, when did he start to observe etiquette?
"Yes, Zhan Ji's generation of the five elements belong to the soil, Your Majesty said, the foundation is the fundamental meaning, the weight of the country, the society is heavy, and the foundation must be stable to have peace for all generations, therefore, the word foundation was given."
The name of the old Zhu family is particular, there may be some friends who don't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty to popularize it here (mainly for the number of water words), when Taizu had a child, he had a whim, and gave the child a name with a radical of five elements, such as Zhu Biao, Zhu Zhang, Zhu Li, Zhu Di, etc., the five elements of this generation are wood.
Taizu also proudly found Liu Bowen to show off, "Our sons are all wood, and the wood and fire are all fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, and the five elements are born together, you see how it is." ”
Liu Bowen pinched his fingers and calculated, "Oh, it's amazing, the five elements are born together, which is the foundation of the operation of the Heavenly Dao, endlessly, endlessly." ”
At the same time, Taizu also gave each branch 20 words, such as the eldest son Zhu Biao, who gave Yunwen to follow the ancestral teachings, and the king of Qinwu won. By the way, it is good to be auspicious, and the teacher is good at using Sheng. It doesn't read like a five-character quatrain.
Therefore, Zhu Biao's son, Pai Yunzi generation, and the five elements belong to fire, and the names he took are Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunxi, and the like. Zhu Yunwen's son, the generation of the characters, the five elements belong to the soil, so he is called Zhu Wenkui.
Zhu Di's original word, Taizu gave Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, and Hou Zai Yi Changyu. Ci and Yi Bozhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou.
Due to Zhu Di's rebellion, his branch has always been inherited, and the historical records are also very clear: Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Jianshen, Zhu Youji, Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Zaiyuan, Zhu Yijun, Zhu Changluo, Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Cihongzhi.
Here I have to mention the branch of King Min, that is, Zhu Yang, the word of his branch is Huiyin Yingyanyu, and he is determined to do Qi Yong. Chongli originally consulted, and Kuanrong was happy to follow. Premier Zhu, who we are familiar with, is from this branch, and when he arrived at the old man's house, he walked around the soil five times and named Ji. is the descendants of the old man Taizu, so it is not difficult to understand why he hates corrupt officials.
As for why the children of the old people are not in this order, there are also sayings, one is a new society, and the other is a precedent, one person has two names, and one clan name is a name used by the outside world. Because it involves coy, I won't say much.
"The foundation is the foundation." Zhu Di muttered, "Daming is the world of our old Zhu family, and the clan is the foundation of Daming. ”
Could it really be that I, Zhu Di, mistook Zhu Yunwen? He really respects his clan relatives in his heart, and he has never had the idea of cutting the domain? Judging by his actions, it has indeed been true for more than a year.
How did Zhu Di know that naming Xiao Bu Zhanji was completely because Zhu Yunwen didn't want to spoil history, and he was also Emperor Xuande who had a destiny in history, and his knowledge level was better not to change his name indiscriminately.
Seeing that Zhu Di was very different from usual, Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt that his mission had hope of being completed, and immediately said, "Father, my son has received a holy order when he comes back this time, and His Majesty has an oracle to convey it." ”
"Let's wait until we're done eating."
Zhu Di only cared about teasing Xiao Zhanji in his arms, "You and I, father and son, have been separated for more than a year, this is Lonely's fault, and if you drink two glasses with Lao Tzu at night, it can be regarded as Lao Tzu making amends for your sins." ”
Zhu Gaochi was dumbfounded, but he was just a grandfather, so he made Zhu Di change so much?
