In fact, at noon before Zhu Di went to see Geng Cairuo, Zhu Zhanji had been released by Zhu Di.

At this time, the Shang Food Bureau was waiting for the emperor to have lunch, Zhu Di was born in the army, and there were more meat dishes, especially focusing on the dishes of northern tastes: roast goose, sheep's head and hooves, goose meat, salted soy and mustard lamb tripe plate, garlic and vinegar white blood soup, five-flavor steamed chicken, original sauce lamb bones, mutton crystal horns, silk goose powder soup, pearl three fresh soup......

Twelve dishes, two soups, two main dishes: one with fragrant rice and one with noodles.

Although Zhu Di is old, but because of his strong body, his appetite has always been very good, and his appetite is especially good today, he is eating with relish, Zhu Zhanji has just been released, and he appears at the entrance of the hall with a probe. Zhu Di glanced at him and called, "Come in!" ”

The emperor's dining has always been a rule, except for major military events and major disasters, other things can not be disturbed, to wait for the emperor to take a walk after lunch, and then report after waking up from a nap, but the emperor's grandson is different, sometimes you can come at any time.

Since Zhu Zhanji exposed Geng Cairuo's identity, he was grounded by Zhu Di, although he was not imprisoned, but he didn't even have a servant to serve, and he couldn't even guarantee a basic life.

As soon as he was allowed, Zhu Zhanji immediately ran to Zhu Di's side on tiptoe and fell to the ground.

Zhu Di took a bite of roast goose with fragrant rice, and asked vaguely while pulling rice into his mouth: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Zhanji hurriedly said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson is here!" ”

Zhu Di scooped a spoonful of Sanxian soup, raised his head slightly and said, "Oh? ”

"The grandson is young and frivolous, mistakenly trusts the folk woman, and corrupts the emperor's discipline, although he finally wakes up, the grandson - the grandson is not a small sin, please punish the emperor's grandfather."

"Is that all?"

Zhu Zhanji's body trembled, and he trembled and said, "Grandson, grandson—"

"How long are you going to hide from me?" Zhu Di's tone had become stern.

Zhu Zhanji crawled lower.

"What do you think of Jing Nan's rebellion?"

Zhu Zhanji pondered his language for a long time, and was just about to speak, when he heard Zhu Di say sternly: "Tell the truth." ”

Zhu Zhanji took a deep breath and raised his head: "Sun Er thinks that the world is the world of my Zhu family, and the people are the people of my Zhu family. ”

"It's not a small tone."

"Grandpa Huang, when Jing was martyred, I was just born and had no memory. However, put yourself in your shoes, if I am the descendant of the ministers of Jingjing, what choice do I have, not to take revenge, in the deep Liaodong, at the ends of the earth, they can't even live, only the idea of revenge can let them survive. Therefore, the grandson thought, why not give them a way to live? ”

Zhu Di's eyes suddenly seemed like electricity: "After the rebels, they should die." ”

"Grandpa Huang, you are wrong!"

"You're bold!"

Zhu Zhanji did not avoid Zhu Di's gaze: "Grandpa, you once told me that for the sake of the king, to be able to accommodate all things, they are just ordinary people, why can't they tolerate it?" Twenty years should be enough, the battle of our Zhu family has affected thousands of people, is our sin still small? ”

"You, you—" Zhu Di's hand was already trembling as he pointed at him.

"Grandpa, Emperor Taizong said, the people are precious, the monarch is light, we can't feed the people to do things, do things for the people of the world, I am alone in this position, what's the point of sitting, and I have to be afraid of the murder of others every day. If I want to be the Lord, I want the talents of the Ming Dynasty to be used by me, the people of the Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, the officials are clear and clear, and the world is clear. ”

Zhu Zhanji is sure every word, every sentence is categorical, and every sentence is self-confidence.

Zhu Di's hand that had been raised for a long time was put down in a daze.

"Grandpa Huang, aren't you already planning to release them?"

"Nonsense, when did I say that?"

"Grandpa Huang said that next year, move the capital to Shuntian, rejoice with the people, and amnesty the world! Jing Nan is also one of the people in the world, and the emperor's grandfather can't speak. ”

"You-" Zhu Di stood up, rolled up his sleeves, flicked them again and again, and shouted in a deep voice, "Who told you to say these words?" ”

"No one teaches grandchildren, they say it themselves."

"Hmph, benevolent heart, amnesty to the world, these are your old man's temperament."

Zhu Zhanji was taken aback: "Grandson-grandson-"

"Bastard, if you want to play scheming in front of your grandfather, you are still a little tender."

Zhu Zhanji stood up, came to his grandfather's side, softened his shoulders for him, and said, "I can't hide anything from my grandfather." ”

Zhu Di gently wiped the beard under his chin, and said with some meaning: "What, do you really like that girl?" Otherwise, if they are locked up, they won't come out and want to intercede for them. ”

"Grandpa-" Zhu Zhanji's face was embarrassed and a little twisted.

Zhu Di smiled: "Shy? Where is the momentum of confronting grandpa just now? ”

"Don't hide it from grandpa, Zhan Ji has fallen in love with a girl for the first time in his life."

Zhu Di turned his head and approached his grandson: "Then grab it?" ”

Zhu Zhanji was stunned, and then shook his head freely: "Forget it, robbing a woman with a courtier, losing to a courtier is very faceless, and robbing it with power has no face." ”

Zhu Di smiled, and then sighed: "You didn't lose in talent and status, but you lost in your surname Zhu, and lost in my grandson Zhu Di." ”

"Grandpa—"

"You bastard boy, you hollowed out your mind to put yourself in, didn't you just want to take advantage of grandpa's iron heart to move the capital, deliberately shake out the matter of Jing Nan's rebellion, and solve it together?"

Zhu Zhanji looked admiring: "If the emperor's grandfather is watching the fire, it is his grandson who is proud." ”

"What do you think of Chen Yuan?"

Zhu Zhanji pondered for a while before saying, "Peerless Warrior." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Di looked at his grandson and was surprised.

Zhu Zhanji smiled bitterly: "It stands to reason that my grandson doesn't like him very much, but he is really talented, in my Daming, I can't find a second person, if I want to make my Zhu family's world more prosperous and solid, there is no other way than to use him." ”

"However, this person is not useful."

Zhu Zhanji was puzzled: "Why? ”

"He came from a humble background and had too many enemies, and if he was used heavily, it would inevitably cause the nobles to revolt, and if he was used lightly, it would have no effect. And you have to keep balancing these forces. He is like a tree that grows in a big forest, if he wants to break out, he wants to seize the surrounding interests, what can you do? Only by repairing the surroundings and repairing him can they be born together. ”

Zhu Zhanji thought for a moment and said deeply: "Grandpa's teachings, grandchildren remember them. ”

"Chen Yuan's credit is too great, but as long as I am still here, I will not give him actual power. I will leave it to your father and son in the future, and make good use of him. ”

"Grandpa—"

Zhu Di held his grandson's hand: "There is not much time left for me, I have to complete three major things in my lifetime, the first is to strike at the Jingnan rebels and stabilize the court, the second is to move the capital and put the power in the hands of our Zhu family, and the third is to destroy the Tatars and Warats, and I can rest assured that I will hand over the country to your father and son." Chai Rong said that he used ten years to expand the world, ten years to raise the people, ten years to peace, I used twenty years, I can only do a good job of the first to expand the world, and the future things will be handed over to you, Chen Yuan is not an official material, you can be knighted and treated well. ”

Zhu Zhanji burst into tears, although he wondered in his heart, when the second uncle entered Beijing, the emperor's grandfather had the idea of easy storage, but why did he still say this meaningfully to himself. He choked: "Grandpa Huang-"

"Manly, what are you crying about, look at you, go back quickly, what are you embarrassed about, go back, grandpa is tired, you need to rest."

"Yes, Grandpa Huang, you have a good rest, and your grandson retires."

Zhu Zhanji left with doubts, Zhu Di's face turned cold, and Wang Zhen was summoned, and said: "Go and spread the word to me, the prince is not in good health, and he will not come to the court for a long time, so let him rest well and let the king of Han supervise the country." ”

Wang Zhen was dumbfounded.

"Go, in the evening, accompany me to meet Geng Cairuo."
