Chapter 69: Brothers
Zhu Zhanji asked again: "Do you have any requirements?" ”
Xue Shanggong paused for a moment and looked at Zhu Zhanji a little strangely. "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "Are you willing to be lonely for the rest of your life, and you don't even know what it's like to be a man for the rest of your life?" ”
Xue Shanggong was shocked, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Highness, please don't say anything more, do you want the slave to die without a place to bury?" ”
Zhu Zhanji stood up, walked in front of her and smiled softly: "You have served me since I was five years old, and since you choose to spend the rest of your life in the palace, I can naturally keep you safe." The relationship between you and me is different from others, and I can't bear to see you grow old and die silently in the palace like this. ”
Her body trembled. With her head bowed like this, she could not tell at all that she was a thirty-year-old woman, and the outline of her clothes was drawn except for a delicate silhouette.
"Your Highness, please don't say any more, the slave and maid never thought of serving Israel. What's more, the slave and maid also know that their appearance is not amazing, rather than serving His Highness with color, it is better to be a caring person of His Royal Highness all the time. ”
Zhu Zhanji rubbed her chin and made her raise her head, and said with a smile: "I won't force you, it's just a pity." Well, I'll give you a little time, and you can think about it. Even if you are the person around me, you can also be my sweetheart. ”
touched her face, and Zhu Zhanji let go of her. "Get up, arrange for Qiuyue and Dongxue to come to my room to serve."
"Yes!" Xue Shanggong, who had always been light and light on weekdays, stumbled out. It seems that Zhu Zhanji is a demon king, which makes him feel a little unhappy.
Although the women in the palace can let him do whatever he wants, he still likes to pay attention to your affection and my wishes, so that it is interesting.
If she doesn't want to, let her be, anyway, as long as he wants, there will be countless women who want to climb into his bed.
The next day, Zhu Zhanji stayed honestly in the East Palace all day and did not go anywhere. To be a good son, a good brother, as for a good husband, he doesn't want to think about it in this life.
Born in the palace, even if they are young, they have seen a lot of deceit and hypocrisy since they were young, plus the competition between nurses, palace maids, and little eunuchs, they will not be really stupid and sweet.
They also all know that Zhu Zhanji is deeply favored by the emperor and the prince, and Zhu Zhanji is much older than them, so they are still very respectful.
Whether it is sincere or hypocritical, Zhu Zhanji at least treats them all equally in terms of face, and does not favor one over the other.
Only this cheap mother has been caring for him for more than ten years, he is a stone and has been moved, and he is naturally close to her from the heart.
And Zhu Di is not as happy as Zhu Zhanji, he just returned to Beijing yesterday, and early this morning, he started the early dynasty.
Although he is not as energetic as Zhu Yuanzhang, he is also a dedicated emperor. As soon as I returned to the capital, I didn't rest for a day, so I held a regular court.
The Standing Dynasty, also known as the Japanese Dynasty, is held once a day, but basically only people at the level of vice minister and above are eligible to participate.
In the regular court, political affairs were rarely discussed, and the emperor and a few ministers held a brief regular meeting elsewhere and then dismissed the meeting. The other ministers could only wait for a while in the front hall or even at the Chaotian Gate, and then go to work.
At noon, another noon pilgrimage will be held to concretely resolve some of today's government affairs, and the meeting time is also very short.
The Shang Dynasty that often appears on TV is the Shuowang Dynasty held on the 15th day of the first month of every month.
During the Hongwu period, it was held on the 15th day of the first day of the lunar month, and it was also called the Great Dynasty Meeting. At this time, in fact, he did not deal with government affairs, and mainly received foreign guests and accepted the pilgrimage.
Officials are promoted, report work, and if it is someone close to the emperor, the emperor will specially meet with him after the court. Those who are not close to each other, that is, wait until the court meeting and report their work in batches in the court.
Therefore, there are not many things that need to be dealt with at the court meeting. When a matter is brought to the court to discuss, most of it has already been dealt with, or it is waiting for the emperor's ruling.
Today's Ming Dynasty has only experienced three emperors, all of whom are strong, so many rules have not changed, and they are not the same as the previous dynasty that later generations know, and they are far from the Qing Dynasty.
In the Qing Dynasty, the court meeting usually had to go to the court before dawn, and then it was delayed for several hours before the officials of the various ministries would go to their own departments to deal with government affairs.
This was not the case in the early Ming Dynasty, where it would not take more than an hour to go to court in the morning, and then the officials would eat breakfast and go to work. If there is anything difficult to make a decision in the middle, it will be reported in the afternoon court.
And some urgent and important matters will be transmitted to the emperor in the middle to deal with, and there will be a meeting at noon.
Ministers usually go to work until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the emperor is fine after noon, which belongs to private time.
During the lunch meal, Zhu Zhanji originally wanted to wait for Zhu Di to come to eat together, but was informed by Li Qian that after the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Di lay down to rest again.
After all, he is old, and this time he is a year younger, and his body has not yet recovered.
Zhu Gaochi is back, and he is in good spirits today. It's just that he didn't stay in the palace to eat, saying that Huang Huai's youngest son from Zhan Shifu got married and wanted to congratulate him.
Hearing the somewhat familiar name Huang Huai, a vague impression in the depths of Zhu Zhanji's memory surfaced in his mind again.
He suddenly remembered Zhu Di's second northern expedition, and when he returned triumphantly, Zhu Gaochi was too late.
Zhu Di was furious, and at once locked up a large number of officials from Zhan Shifu and the Ministry of Rites, and this Huang Huai was also imprisoned for ten years, until Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, Huang Huai was released.
It's just that this memory is so vague that he doesn't even know if it's true or not. It's just that he is a little strange, Zhu Gaochi delayed the time in the original history, why didn't he delay the time this time?
This northern expedition solved the great trouble of the grassland, and he was a little tired of the king of Han who had been relying in the capital.
To be honest, he never took this funny Han King in his eyes, but with such a toad that has been blocking and disgusting, it's time to beat up.
Next winter, at the latest, he will go to sea with Zheng He. Before going to sea, it is better to solve this matter first.
If he was above this matter when he returned to Beijing, he would have a reason to deal with him, but now that he is honest, Zhu Zhanji can't do anything even if he wants to deal with him.
Anyway, he was the uncle of the original owner after all. In the feudal era, especially in the prosperous era of Confucianism, relatives were hidden, and relatives were greater than national law!
Everything must be reasonable, if there is no suitable reason, Zhu Zhanji will do it, then his reputation for the rest of his life will be stained.
However, if you can't come openly, you can do it secretly.
Now that Jinyiwei and the inner prison are all encircled by him, it is not difficult to deal with the brave and unscrupulous Zhu Gaoxu.
In the afternoon, the crown princess finally let go of Zhu Zhanji and stopped talking to him, and he also went to the East Palace Garden and watched a group of younger brothers and sisters playing there.
Zhu Zhanji saw Sun Xian playing there with a few younger sisters, but his eyes glanced over from time to time, and he couldn't help but make a grimace with her. She didn't hold back for a moment, sneered, and hurriedly covered her face with her sleeve.
hooked his finger with Li Liang, and Li Liang immediately ran over. "What does Your Highness command?"
"Let Ji Gang come to the War Bureau tomorrow, keep a low profile, and don't engage in rumors."
"Yes, he also sent a lot of information from Jin Daban, and Jin Daban has already sorted it out."
Zhu Zhanji saw that Zhu Zhanyin and Zhu Zhanyin didn't know why the two little guys were fighting, although Zhu Zhanyin was a few months younger, but his health was much better, but Zhu Zhanyin, who was a few months older than him, cried.
"No fighting."
Zhu Zhanji roared, and the frightened two little guys trembled, and they didn't dare to move anymore. It's just that Zhu Zhanyin is still crying, looking at Zhu Zhanji with aggrieved eyes.
These two are not the younger brothers of the same mother, so Zhu Zhanji does not favor anyone and walks towards them. He looked at the backgammons scattered on the ground and asked, "Why are you fighting?" Have you ever thought before you started that you are your own brother in front of you? ”
Zhu Zhanyin sobbed and said, "Brother Taisun, he beat me, and I didn't fight back." ”
Zhu Zhanji said sharply: "Don't cry, a good man will not shed tears, the children and grandchildren of the Zhu family will become big heroes, what does crying and crying look like." Zhan Yan, why did you do it to your brother? ”
In front of Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji, who was like a little overlord, was also frightened and cried. "He won't let me, he keeps winning me."
Zhu Zhanji laughed inwardly, but he still said with a straight face: "Even if you don't win a game of chess, you shouldn't do it." Zhan Yin is your brother and brother, is he your enemy? Have you read the Book of Filial Piety? ”
"Read ......"
"Now apologize to Zhan Yin, and then punish you for copying the Book of Filial Piety twice, once to the mother concubine, and once to Zhan Yin, are you convinced?"
Under Zhu Zhanji's deterrence, how could he, an eight-year-old child, dare to say that he was not convinced, and nodded hurriedly.
He wiped the tears from his face, and then bowed to Zhu Zhanyin for a long time. "Fourth brother, I'm sorry for you."
Zhu Zhanyin is not in good health, but he is very smart, and hurriedly said: "I don't blame you, next time I play chess with you, I will let you." ”
Zhu Zhanji nodded and touched their heads separately. "Remember, don't fight in the future, fight and join forces to fight others."
They all nodded as if they didn't understand, a little puzzled, who else dared to mess with them.
Seeing Zhu Zhanji walk away, the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting next to him hurriedly came to their master's side to comfort them at this time, and after a while, a group of little guys were having a good time.
In the evening, Zhu Gaochi came back, heard about it, nodded and said: "Ji'er is doing a good job, they are young, it is to let them understand the importance of people's great grace." Confucianism has its own truth. ”
Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "In my opinion, these are just tools, if you really have to believe it completely, that is a mistake." ”
Zhu Gaochi also knew that he couldn't convince this son, not to mention that although he couldn't understand some of the things Zhu Zhanji did, he also had his reasons. So he stopped persuading, just let out a long sigh.
There is a little bit of disappointment that hates iron and does not become steel.
