Chapter 311: Within the Palace
() Zhu Fan seemed very calm and continued,
"At the beginning, the second brother met her by chance not long before I became a vassal. Your second sister-in-law has a bold temperament, even if she becomes a clansman of the king of the dead country, she is still cheerful and lively, and I have never seen a woman like her in my life, so I immediately decided to marry her as a concubine. It's just that the princess chosen by my father for me was originally the daughter of Deng Yu, the king of Ninghe, and it was because of this incident that there were some conflicts between our father and son. Later, it was the father and the emperor who proposed that everyone give a step, and the second brother I can accept her as the main concubine, but I will never be allowed to make the descendants she left behind as the heir, and at the same time, the daughter of the Deng family will be the second concubine. Although in this matter, my father finally made the decision for me, which can be regarded as a satisfactory solution, it is conceivable that my father still left a knot in his heart, and the second brother and I can stay with the woman I really love no matter what, which is also because of the grace of my father, and I can only repay it with all my heart. ”
"Yes, that'......"
Zhu Di felt very novel when he heard it, and at the same time felt a little sad,
"But isn't this already very good, why does the second brother still say something like that will affect the younger brother?"
"Having said that, but the fourth brother, you and I are too close, which will naturally cause the dissatisfaction of my father, and the second brother, I have handed over such an important thing as the Golden Tiger Talisman to you without the slightest request, how can my father not be angry? Don't forget, fourth brother, you are now a new generation of famous generals among our brothers. ”
Zhu Fan looked at him and smiled slightly.
Zhu Di had no choice but to smile,
"It's okay, this matter has passed, and I don't think my father will be angry with you and me anymore."
In fact, even he couldn't comfort himself, thinking that his father suppressed him at that time, it could be that until now, Zhu Di would inevitably be depressed.
Zhu Fan shook his head lightly when he heard this, looked at him and said,
"Fourth brother, don't think about it so simply, in fact, the reason why my father will make the emperor grandson this time is very revealing."
"Oh, yes......"
finally talked about this disturbing matter, Zhu Di responded noncommittally, waiting for the second brother to continue.
Zhu Fan thought about it again, and said as if he had made a lot of determination,
"Fourth brother, you and I are like brothers, so the second brother will tell you what he thinks directly. In fact, the idea of the father's emperor as the emperor's grandson did not exist when the eldest brother died, so why didn't he think about appointing other princes as princes according to common sense? If that's the case, the second brother and I can't stand because I married a daughter related to the former Yuan royal family, and your third brother has a fiery temperament and has done foolish things, so naturally there is no hope, and the most likely person to become the new prince is the fourth brother, you......"
"Second brother? You ......"
When Zhu Di heard him say this, he was suddenly surprised and happy in his heart, but he still told himself to calm down and said,
"Don't say that......"
"Fourth brother, you listen to the second brother's words,"
Zhu Fan ignored his stop and continued,
And it was not that my father had never had this idea, but it was only later that he changed his old man's mind at the instigation of some people. Second brother, I am a few years older than you, and I used to be in charge of the Zongren Mansion and did the Zongren Order, with some previous relationships, so there are still a few acquaintances in the Ouchi, and the affairs in this palace are even more alarming than when we are fighting outside. ”
Hearing the second brother mention the palace, Zhu Di's heart couldn't help but move, because Ning Sheng had also reminded him of some things that had happened in the palace, so he thought about it and asked tentatively,
"It's just that our brother has no contact with the people in the palace, and it is impossible to offend anyone, so who would do anything to hurt us from behind?"
Zhu Di's tone made people sound very innocent, and even brought out some grievances.
Zhu Fan really smiled sympathetically,
"It's not a question of whether you've offended anyone, it's mainly about getting in the way of anyone. There is a person named Huang Zicheng, fourth brother, have you ever heard of it? ”
"Huang Zicheng?"
Zhu Di searched hard in his memory, but he still didn't have any impression for a long time, just shook his head and sighed,
"I don't know, I haven't heard of ......"
"He was the third place in the palace examination in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, and he has been a companion in the East Palace, so it can be said that the East Palace is his hope for the future."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Zhu Fan's lips,
"But now, the eldest brother has died early, and these people who have pinned their hopes on the crown prince will naturally be cold, and the fourth brother, you have never even heard of them, and in their eyes, they are even more reluctant to associate with those scholars, of course, they will not have any hope for you. Therefore, taking advantage of the respect that my father has always had for scholars, I will do some tricks and do some guidance. ”
"Huang Zicheng......"
Zhu Di suddenly smiled and said softly,
"It seems that I really need to pay attention to this person, and I have to please him appropriately when I have the opportunity."
"yes,"
Knowing that the fourth brother was sarcastic, Zhu Fan also chuckled and continued,
"If the eldest brother had been alive, there wouldn't have been so many troubles, and he would have been good to us brothers. But now that it has reached this point, if the power really falls into the hands of a group of villains in the future, what will be the consequences, fourth brother, you will definitely understand. ”
"But how can my father be easily swayed by a villain?"
Zhu Di's brows furrowed slightly.
Zhu Fan listened, nodded heavily, and said,
"This is exactly what the second brother wants to say to you, don't look at the fact that my father has ordained the emperor's grandson, this does not mean that everything is settled, who is sure that this is not a strategy of his old man, first use this move to stabilize some people, and then observe carefully? Therefore, the second brother feels that from now on, the father and the emperor should have all kinds of tests for the fourth brother, and I hope that during this period, you will be cautious in your words and deeds, and be careful every step. ”
"Second Brother ......"
Zhu Di looked very low-key all the time, but today he kept saying so many surprising things, and secretly said in his heart, is he out of the way? But what made the second brother do this?
"You're ......"
"Fourth brother, let's talk from the heart, my body knows very well, the second brother knows that his life is not long, so I have already seen through all the disputes, and I don't want to participate at all, the reason why I said so much to the fourth brother today is because there is one thing I want to ask you."
Zhu Fan looked at him, his eyes full of anticipation.
Zhu Di's heart had already jumped into one, and he asked involuntarily,
"I don't know what's important? Second brother, please speak, as long as the younger brother can do it, he will definitely do his best to do it. ”
"It's more of a person than a thing,"
Zhu Fan smiled slightly,
"It's Princess Qin, your second sister-in-law, second brother, I want to ask you to take care of her."
