Chapter 1180: Father and Son

"Who are you going to show this ghost?!" Seeing Zhu Zhanji kneeling on the carpet like a chicken in soup, the water droplets on his body dripping on the carpet, looking pitiful, Zhu Gaochi was angry. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Erchen is not going to show anyone, but he is guilty in his heart, and he just punishes himself a little." Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but shudder.

"What do you have to remorse? Didn't you always think that it was me who was wrong? Zhu Gaochi sneered.

"That's because the sons are too ignorant and don't understand the hard work of their father." Zhu Zhanji's tears flowed down with thunderbolts, mixed with the water droplets on his body, and he couldn't tell what was what. "Today, when I saw the true faces of those nobles, I realized that they were indeed wolf ambitions! Dare to send troops to force the palace to rebel, it is really mad! Speaking of this, His Royal Highness Taisun couldn't cry anymore, and his whole body twitched, like a frightened child: "I actually thought they were good people, and I messed with them all day long, it's really stupid, and I deserve death!" My father killed me, and my son didn't complain! ”

"Humph!" Zhu Gao snorted coldly and asked, "You mean, you don't know anything about their actions today?!" ”

"The sons are not unaware, but they only know that they want to argue with their father and regain the right to participate in politics, and they don't know that they also sent an army to force the palace!" How dare Zhu Zhanji deny it completely, and said lightly: "If the sons and daughters knew, they would definitely tell their father as soon as possible, how could they be their accomplices?" ”

"Do you think I'll believe it?" Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Zhanji coldly, but there was a strong sense of powerlessness hidden under the clouds on his face.

"Erchen doesn't think that if I am my father, it will be difficult to believe my own words." Zhu Zhanji burst into tears and said: "But this is the truth, the son does not ask his father for forgiveness, but just wants his father to know that your son is not a beast without a king and a father!" ”

"Hmph......" Zhu Gaochi stared at Zhu Zhanji for a long time, and then asked faintly: "I ask you, is there an edict from the first emperor?" ”

"Nope!" Zhu Zhanji shook his head without hesitation and said: "Before the imperial grandfather died, the retainer was fortunate to see his old man for the last time, and he did not hear the imperial grandfather mention this matter, and he never saw any edict after that. If there is, the son-in-law will definitely announce it to the public as soon as possible, so that his father can ascend the throne without the slightest regret! ”

"Hmph......" Zhu Gaochi snorted again, but this time it was softer than before. Then why did the Dingguo Guild openly claim the existence of an edict in the court, and let me ask you for verification? ”

"This matter, Erchen has already answered in the court, it is pure nothing!" Zhu Zhanji replied: "Dingguo Gong may have intended to provoke the relationship between my father and son, or he also forged the edict, in short, it is ill-intentioned, and a righteous man and gentleman can't guess it!" can only be interrogated strictly to know what kind of calculation he is playing?! ”

"Hehe, you've pushed it all ......" Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sneer, and he sneered: "As a father, I don't believe a word of what you say." After a pause, he said, "But as the emperor, I will believe you this time." ”

Zhu Zhanji didn't expect him to say this, so he could only bow his head to the ground and not say a word.

Zhu Gaochi was tired of this kind of dialogue full of lies and hypocrisy, waved his sleeves, and said coldly: "You are the one who sent Emperor Daxing to the end, since you said that there is no edict, I have the right to believe you once." ”

"Thank you father, I am still willing to give my son trust." Zhu Zhanji hurriedly raised his head and said with tears in his eyes.

"But what if there are more rumors, or forged edicts?" Zhu Gaochi stared at Zhu Zhanji tightly, and asked word by word, the word 'forgery' bit was extremely heavy.

"Erchen will definitely stand up and prove as soon as possible that the rumors are false and the edict is forged!" Zhu Zhanji hurriedly assured loudly: "Grandpa Huang did not leave any edict!" ”

"Yes, after you go back, you will write a recital about this matter, and I will remember the world and the whole country, clarify the rumors, and set the record straight!" Zhu Gaochi nodded and said expressionlessly.

"......" Zhu Zhanji was struck by lightning, the emperor's 'desperate plan' was too ruthless, this was to completely abolish the edict in his arms! Once you write such a confession and publish it to the whole country, the real edict will become a forgery, and you will no longer have this trump card to play!

But at this moment, Zhu Zhanji knew that if he had the slightest hesitation, a catastrophe would definitely come, so he didn't dare to rub it off at all, and immediately agreed: "Erchen obeys the order." Although, his heart was dripping blood......

"Okay." The boulder in Zhu Gaochi's heart finally fell to the ground, and he finally said the word 'good'. His tone also softened and said, "Although you didn't participate in this incident, if you didn't practice virtue and keep the right path on weekdays, how could you be used by treacherous villains?" If it weren't for me and Zhenguo Gong having seen through their conspiracy a long time ago, you and I, father and son, would still be able to talk here at this moment. ”

"Erchen really knows that he is wrong...... Zhu Zhanji shook his head and cried bitterly. This time he was crying, not fake. But it's not regret, it's fear, it's happiness! He knew that when the emperor said these words, he was characterizing the matter, and he was safe.

"Alright, stop crying." As Wang Xian judged, Zhu Gaochi did not have the idea of easy storage, the eldest was on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also his other sons, who were too far behind Zhu Zhanji. Zhu Zhanji was originally good and beautiful, and Zhu Di took him by his side to teach carefully for 20 years, Zhu Gaochi admitted that he was even far stronger than himself in many aspects.

Zhu Gao Chilong was sick and weak, and his energy was limited, so he did not plan to cultivate another heir, he wanted to concentrate all his strength to complete the reform and tackle the fortifications. As for Zhu Zhanji's character, although Zhu Gaochi was very disliked, he also knew very well that a good person was not a good emperor, and no one could say that Emperor Taizu and Taizu were not evildoers, so Zhu Gaochi forced himself not to dwell on this point anymore.

It's just that Zhu Gaochi will not easily give Zhu Zhanji the position of prince, once Zhu Zhanji becomes the crown prince, he will gather a strong political force, and if the father and son do not agree with each other, they will definitely hinder his reform in many ways, which is unacceptable to Emperor Hongxi.

Fortunately, after this incident, there will be no more such troubles in a few years.

After Zhu Zhanji stopped crying, Zhu Gaochi said earnestly: "You are the eldest son and eldest grandson of the first emperor, the night you were born, the first emperor who was still the king of Yan at that time, once had a dream, dreaming that Emperor Taizu gave him a big gui, and said to him, 'The grandson of the heirloom will be prosperous forever'." As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Zhanji's face that resembled the first emperor and said: "You were born with luck, as long as you don't make mistakes, who can take away your fortune?" ”

Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that his father had indeed never touched the idea of Yi Chu, and listened to the emperor with an obedient face: "However, having a mandate of heaven does not mean that you can sit back and enjoy it, Emperor Taizu has great luck and great creation, but if there is no more than ten years of birth and death, internal cultivation of benevolence, and external recruitment, the thousand-year-old feat of expelling the Tartars and restoring the Chinese clothes will not fall on his head in vain, and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty will not just wait for him to sit there." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded again and again, looking pious and taught, as for whether he could listen to it, the emperor didn't have much hope, but the emperor didn't care, because the emperor's focus was not on preaching.

So Zhu Gaochi cleared his throat and continued: "Therefore, luck alone is far from enough, you also need to cultivate virtue and cultivate your character and practice hard to be worthy of the position given to you by God. Otherwise, even if you are allowed to sit in that seat, you will not be worthy of virtue and bring disasters to yourself, to your ancestors, and to the people of the world......"

"......" Zhu Zhanji completely understood now, what his father said was the same thing, you are not worthy of being the prince at present, as for when you are worthy, of course it is the time when the emperor thinks it is appropriate. But he couldn't say a word at the moment, so he could only let the emperor go.

"After you go back, don't associate with those fox friends and dog friends, I will arrange a teacher for you, calm down, study hard for a few years, and you will understand your shallowness and lack of virtue today." Zhu Gaochi said slowly: "I will also understand the suffering of the people and the danger of the society, and understand that I am not targeting the first emperor, but just want to continue the ancestors' country......

"Erchen remembers the lessons of his father, and he will definitely study hard and introspect deeply when he goes back!" Although he knew that he could only stay behind closed doors in the next few years, Zhu Zhanji still readily agreed. Because, if you don't have pleasure, you can't do it......

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Zhanji sternly, and warned in a deep voice: "From now on, you have to behave yourself, don't make any mistakes, otherwise no matter what luck I have, I won't protect you anymore!" ”

"Erchen understands, there will be no next time!" Zhu Zhanji nodded in horror.

"Let's go down." Zhu Gaochi waved his hand, don't look away, don't want to look at him again.

"Yes, the retainers are retired." Zhu Zhanji supported himself and wanted to get up, but his knee still did not regain consciousness, and he didn't get up several times, so he had to say to Zhang Cheng: "Grandpa Zhang, please help me." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and vigorously helped His Royal Highness Taisun up.

Zhang Cheng helped the grandson out of the dormitory, and asked people to quickly bring ginger soup to His Royal Highness, change into dry clothes, and arrange a sedan chair to send him back. This time, Zhu Zhanji no longer shirked and accepted them all.

Zhang Cheng sent the sedan chair of the grandson to the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and said with a guilty face: "The old slave has always wanted to say a few words for His Highness, but I didn't expect that there was no chance to speak at all. ”

"My father-in-law has this heart, and I am grateful." Zhu Zhanji's face finally regained some blood, and he took Zhang Cheng's hand and said softly: "In the future, I can't always accompany me, my father's side, if someone says bad things about me, please pay more attention to my father-in-law......

Zhang Cheng knew that Zhu Zhanji was referring to Zhu Zhanjun and the others, although he felt a little embarrassed, he still nodded.

"Thank you, father-in-law." After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, he sat in a sedan chair and left the palace in the wind and rain.

In the sky, lightning swept across the sky, and spring thunder rolled, indicating that the time for the renewal of Vientiane had arrived. (To be continued.) )
