"Fourth Uncle, are you telling the truth?" ”

Zhu Yunwen's gaze instantly emitted a strange brilliance, and at the same time, it seemed that he instinctively took a step forward, as if he wanted to hold Zhu Di's hands again.

However, just when his fingertips were about to touch the fourth uncle's hand, he suddenly heard a somewhat irritating shout from the waiter,

"The emperor has arrived!"

The uncle and nephew were taken aback, and hurriedly took off their clothes and knelt on the ground together.

Sure enough, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking out of the side of the main hall, with a pair of eyes radiating a very serious gaze, scanning the two of them, and then came to sit down.

"You're both here?"

Staring at the two of them one by one for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a casual tone that was not commensurate with his sharp gaze.

Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen hurriedly kowtowed upwards together,

"The son is here."

"My grandson is here."

"Rise up and speak first."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand at them, signaling them to be flattened, and waited for the uncle and nephew to stand aside before he said,

"Do you know why I asked you to come?"

"Grandchildren don't know ......"

Zhu Yunwen replied cautiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di again,

"Di'er, what do you say?"

I have been getting along with my father for many years, and I can say that I know him very well about his temperament, and even from what he calls himself, I can guess some of my father's thoughts, and at the same time, Zhu Di also knows that although my father hates people who talk nonsense, he also doesn't like people who don't say anything and pretend to be confused, so he replied respectfully,

"Erchen wondered, is it because of the upcoming canonization ceremony?"

"You're right,"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered, there was no doubt in it,

"That's why I called you here."

Judging from his father's attitude towards himself, what happened in the palace that Ning Sheng talked about did not affect his opinion of himself, or the impact was very small, and it was more likely that he himself had doubts about this matter, so he called himself alone to test it further.

In this way, when my father decided to canonize Yunwen, he did not lose his expectations of me-

Thinking of this, Zhu Di was overjoyed, and his demeanor became even more calm. But what happened next caught him off guard.

"Di'er."

Zhu Yuanzhang called his name again.

Zhu Di also replied respectfully again, and intentionally or unintentionally changed his name,

"The child is here."

"I didn't let your second brother and third brother come to Beijing this time,"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with good eyes,

"So, of all your brothers, you are the eldest. And Yun Wei is your nephew, and you uncles need to bow down to him at the ceremony, do you know? ”

"The child and the son understand."

Although Zhu Di was still a little uncomfortable in his heart no matter what, he also knew that in the current situation, what he should do was to obey, so he replied obediently,

"At the ceremony, the sons will definitely follow the father's holy orders."

"Don't wait until the ceremony is on,"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and said,

"At that time, you will lead your brothers to make a pilgrimage, so it is better to rehearse here in advance, I want you to bow down to Yun Wei with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister now."

As soon as these words came out, without waiting for Zhu Di to react, Zhu Yunwen on the side suddenly took a step back in fright,

"Grandpa Huang, this ......"

"Yun Wei!"

Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him sharply and said,

"You've got me standing up!"

After staring at Zhu Di again,

"King Yan, what are you waiting for?"

King Yan——

Yes, I'm just a vassal king, and Yun Wei is about to become a prince.

Although Zhu Di's heart was already low at this time, he couldn't be lower anymore, but on the surface, he still walked respectfully in front of his nephew, knelt down in his robe, and bowed to worship.

"Minister Zhu Di gives a gift to the imperial grandson!"

"Fourth, Fourth Uncle ......"

Zhu Yunwen finally couldn't control himself, and took a few steps back.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned secretly and sighed,

"Di'er, you get up first."

"Thank you, Father."

Zhu Di's gaze unconsciously dodged from Zhu Yunwen's direction, got up and dressed up, and retreated to the side.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression looked quite satisfied, and he said,

"Okay, Di'er, you did a good job, what should happen on the day of the ceremony, I believe you will know very well for my father."

"Yes, the boy understands."

Zhu Di still maintained a rigorous and obedient attitude and agreed.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded,

"Well, then, you can step back first."

"The child is gone."

After giving another salute and taking a few steps back, Zhu Di turned around and retreated from the hall.

Until the figure disappeared, Zhu Yunwen's eyes were still fixed on the direction of Zhu Di's departure. In fact, he really wanted the fourth uncle to stay in front of him for a while, listening to him say that he would take himself to ride a horse and go galloping, even if it may never be realized, just listening to him, but for some reason it is just like this, and he will get a very satisfied feeling in his heart, as well as a lot of comfort.

"Yun Wei,"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice calling him came from his ears.

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly turned around, bowed and said,

"My grandson is here."

"You're nervous, aren't you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone became very gentle,

"Grandpa knows that suddenly pushing you into this position will make you feel a lot of pressure, and they are all your uncles and elders, but you don't have to be afraid, after all, you will be the one who will be the monarch in the future, and they will all be your courtiers in the end."

"But, but, after all, the fourth uncle is the most respected one among the uncles, isn't it a little hard for him to do this today?"

Zhu Yunwen's eyes flashed again in front of him just now, and the fourth uncle knelt down to him, I don't know whether he was afraid or satisfied.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly,

"Yun Wei, you are too worried, because of this, it is even more important for him to feel this kind of relationship between monarchs and ministers in advance, so as not to be able to get used to it all of a sudden on the ceremony, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing. That's why I asked him to come here to see you now. ”

"Thank you Grandpa Huang for thinking about your grandson."

Zhu Yunwen saluted again.

But in his heart, he couldn't suppress the ups and downs of his heart and his thoughts. His father died young, and although he tried his best to serve him during his serious illness, hoping that he would get better and recover, he eventually left him, and this helpless situation made him feel a sense of crisis that he was on the edge of a cliff for a period of time, but he could not grasp any "lifeline" that could make people down.

Speaking from the heart, from the first time I saw the fourth uncle Zhu Di, I could feel an indescribable attraction in him, which made him want to approach him for some reason, but he didn't dare to approach him. The last time we met, I held my hand and listened to him say that he would take care of himself, and the cold in his heart caused by pressure really had a kind of warmth in that moment.
