Chen Yuan smiled lightly: "Lord Wang, when have you ever lost?" ”

Zhu Gaosui opened his mouth slightly, not knowing the meaning of Chen Yuan's words, the second monk was confused.

"Lord Wang, do you still remember the words of the first emperor when he died."

Zhu Gaosui was suddenly shocked, and suddenly remembered that thunderstorm night.

"The first emperor said that there is no one more like him than His Royal Highness."

Zhu Gaosui remembered that the old man's withered hand stroked his cheek, and the very weak and loving words "Be a prince of peace", suddenly burst into tears. When he was young, he did a lot of wrong things in order to be vindictive, his father almost abolished his throne, and he hated and angered his father. Later, the relationship with the old man eased, and he asked about his relationship with his son, and he suddenly understood his father's feelings. Didn't he hate himself as much as he did for his son?

"Yes, I didn't lose." Zhu Gaosui burst into tears, crying and laughing.

Chen Yuan raised his glass and invited King Zhao to drink, and the two ate for a while. In fact, the dishes are not very rich, although there is sunshine during the day in winter, but it is colder in the evening, they surround a small charcoal stove, set up a small iron pot of refinement, boil pig's trotters in it, and scald some radish. This is the way to eat hot pot, or Chen Yuan ate it at home at the beginning, some nobles think this is really good, and they began to follow suit.

"Big brother asked you to come, what did he say?"

Chen Yuan said the emperor's words one by one, and when he heard that the "throne and title" was the same as before, Zhu Gaosui was very disdainful and sneered: "My eldest brother is really benevolent, the throne is the same as before, hehe, the battlefield battle, the enemy army is tens of thousands, I don't frown, this throne is rare." ”

When he heard "Brothers are at ease, no longer suspicious", Zhu Gaosui laughed three times, extremely contemptuous: "No more suspicion, good no longer suspicion, when the old man is here, there is no more suspicion, I want the brothers to be fine, hehe." ”

"Lord Wang—"

"That's what my big brother said?"

"Yes, there is no half-talk."

"Retreat, what do you think I should do?"

Chen Yuan's heart moved, and King Zhao called his cousin, explaining that the relationship with him was still close, and said tentatively: "Can the prince still listen to the advice of his ministers?" ”

At this moment, Chen Yuan seemed to have become his adviser again, and Zhu Gaosui waved his hand: "As you said, I can't get any talents, they are all wine bags and rice bags, and only you are willing to really think about me." ”

This deep trust moved Chen Yuan: "Thank you for your love." He paused, "Lord, the matter of your family and brothers, making trouble, is just a joke for the people of the world, now His Majesty has occupied the right time, place and people, the prince has raised troops, there is no chance of winning, being a carefree prince, no official and light, hunting, teasing birds, it can not be said that it is not idle." ”

Zhu Gaosui smiled dumbly: "Look at you, you don't even want to be an official, tease the birds to hunt, I'm afraid of your thoughts." ”

"I'm ashamed."

Zhu Gaosui laughed, invited Chen Yuan to drink, and said after a while: "Retreat, what you say, I will consider it." However, I am only in my thirties this year, and I don't want to be so idle, can you tell my eldest brother that I want to go to the border to lead the troops and guard the border for him. ”

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid it's impossible." ”

"Isn't the eldest brother merciful? Don't even agree to this request? ”

Chen Yuan sighed and said meaningfully: "If the prince is the emperor, will the two brothers guard the border for the prince?" ”

Zhu Gaosui was stunned, laughed again, and invited Chen Yuan to drink. He knew that Chen Yuan was telling the truth, and he didn't blame Chen Yuan for his honesty, but appreciated it even more.

Zhu Gaosui glanced at Chen Yuan and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Have you seen Yunxi recently?" ”

Zhu Yunxi, Princess Annan, Chen Yuan was stunned, thinking of that weak and strong figure, she should be in Le'an Prefecture, I haven't seen her for two years, why did Zhu Gaosui suddenly mention it, and shook his head: "The minister is a foreign minister, the princess has golden branches and jade leaves, and the minister does not dare to disturb." ”

", weren't you familiar with it before, but now you're restrained." Zhu Gaosui scolded.

Time flies quickly, and it has been more than six years since I saw Daming, and at that time Zhu Yunxi was still a little girl and could die of illness at any time, so I comforted this poor girl. Now she is a princess, and she is the daughter of the King of Han, I am a family and a house, where is it good to meet her. Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, so he had to say that things were busy and that he had the opportunity to visit the princess again.

Zhu Gaosui sighed: "You live in Le'an Prefecture for a few days first, and have a chance to meet her, this child, she-"

Chen Yuan's heart tightened, could it be that her old illness had relapsed, and there was a problem again: "The princess's body is not in harmony?" ”

"Not really."

Chen Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, that's okay.

Zhu Gaosui was worried and sighed again, his expression was complicated, and he said quietly: "She-she's not the same as before." ”

grew up in the emperor's family, but his father failed to seize the throne, and Zhu Yunxi's identity was extremely embarrassing. The body is weak, but he inherited his father's fighting spirit and will never admit defeat, Chen Yuan also sighed deeply.

After eating, Chen Yuan was arranged to stay at the embassy. He couldn't see the King of Han, and he couldn't return to the capital for the time being.

Thinking of Zhu Gaosui at the end, he wanted to speak and stopped, with thousands of complicated expressions, he was also curious, what happened to Zhu Yunxi? Thinking about my heart, I didn't fall asleep all the time, and I was in a daze until midnight. Suddenly awakened, he was so shocked that he almost lost his soul.

His neck was forced by a foot of cold light, and as long as he went one centimeter further, he would see Marx completely.

Someone wants to kill me, Chen Yuan is shocked, there are a lot of clues, who is it? King Zhao was only persuaded today, it can't be him, could it be King Han?

In the Taihe Palace, Zhu Gaochi dragged his sick body to deal with political affairs, coughing a few times from time to time.

First of all, there was a brief discussion on the matter of moving the capital, in fact, only Yang Shiqi and Jian Yi said a few words, but the emperor was stubborn and insisted on moving the capital back to Nanjing, and they could only listen.

The second is to discuss the issue of Chen Yuan's fief, according to the position of Weining Marquis, his fief should be in the northwest of Shaanxi, but the king of Han suddenly wrote a book, saying that Chen Yuan's fief should be in Jiaodong, Jiaodong is in Shandong, and Le'an Prefecture is not far away, so Zhu Gaochi is inexplicable.

"What do you think King Han means?"

Yang Shiqi was surprised for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, this is not in line with the system. ”

"That's a bad thing to say." Suddenly, someone interrupted Yang Shiqi.

Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be Li Qi, the young Zhan of the Prince Zhan Mansion, who was valued by Zhu Zhanji and promoted to the fourth rank official.

A young man retorted, and several scholars were a little displeased, but Li Qi didn't realize it, but instead said: "The system is the rule of the ancestors, but it is not immutable." Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms, the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, has never been to the fiefdom. But eat the court Juelu, the northwest environment is harsh, the land is barren, the king of Han wrote, it must be to win over the Marquis of Weining, if Jiaodong is sealed, I am afraid that the Marquis of Weining will fall to the king of Han——"

Zhu Gaochi said: "Wei Ninghou is loyal to me, and it is impossible to be co-opted, but there are many state affairs, and I can't do without him." ”

"Your Majesty, is there no talent in the Ming Dynasty? In the past few months, the crown prince has taken care of state affairs in an orderly manner, and there is no participation of Wei Ninghou, so His Majesty does not need to worry. ”

Li Qi said this, Zhu Gaochi said to the prince who had been silent: "These days, you have worked hard. ”

Zhu Zhanji said modestly: "It is the duty of the son to assist his father. ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded, and Li Qi: "What I am most worried about now is that the Han Wang's soldiers will make dangerous moves and trap His Majesty in injustice, and let Wei Ninghou go to Jiaodong, or he can contain one or two." ”

Zhu Gaochi looked around at several scholars, Jian Yi always felt that there was something wrong with this Li Qi, but he couldn't say it.

Everyone thought that this method was really good, and finally agreed, so Zhu Gaochi ordered that Chen Yuan's fief was in Jiaodong, and he would not change his position, and he would still be called the Marquis of Weining.

On the outskirts of the capital, a pair of men and women are saying goodbye, it is the slim Zhuo Yuemei and the heroic Zhu Zhandong.

"Look at you, you're such a big person, and you're still crying."

Zhuo Yuemei hammered him with a few punches in the chest, raised her fist high, fell gently, and became coquettish: "You provoked me." ”

Zhu Zhan Rong looked tender and stroked her hair: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault." ”

"Hmph, it's just that you're not good."

"Hehe, it's me who is bad." Zhu Zhan is very fond and lets his lover be coquettish.

Zhuo Yuemei cried her nose and was very reluctant to part: "Why did the prince take me into the palace to accompany the queen, there are many people around the queen, I am careless, and I can't take care of it well, which makes the queen unhappy." ”

Zhu Zhan sighed deeply: "My eldest brother is not at ease with me. ”

"You brothers—"

Zhu Zhan Rong smiled: "Don't worry, I only want you, except for you, and I don't want to be the emperor." ”

"Bad people, bad people, will come to earn me tears." Zhuo Yuemei lay in his arms, crying profusely.

Zhu Zhan looked at the hierarchical, majestic, and world-renowned palace, with a little disdain at the corner of his mouth.
