"Okay, I'll go."

Seeing his childlike curious expression, Zheng He couldn't help but smile and agree.

But after thinking about it again, Zhu Di immediately stopped him who had already walked at the door.

"Ah, yes, don't let the master see you, go quietly, he won't let me ask about his affairs."

"Oh, yes, got it."

Zheng He nodded in understanding.

went out for more than an hour, and when it was almost time for lunch, Zheng He rushed back from Qingshou Temple, and just walked into the study, Zhu Di couldn't wait to jump up from the chair and asked,

"How's that, three guarantees? What is he doing? ”

"Entertaining guests."

Zheng He said slowly.

Zhu Di was a little deflated when he heard this, but he hurriedly asked again,

"What kind of guests are they?"

"They are all monks and Taoists like the master."

Zheng He's expression looked like he wanted to laugh.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Di became even more curious, and deliberately frowned and asked,

"What the hell is going on? It's better to recruit it on the ground. ”

"Good, good, three guarantees to be honest,"

Zheng He couldn't help but smile,

"The master and a few guests are making up ballads, and they seem to be making them up very seriously."

"Make up ballads?"

Zhu Di really can't figure it out, why is he still making up ballads at such a critical moment? But on second thought, the old monk has always had his reasons for doing things, and since he let himself wait to see the result, then it is better to wait.

However, while waiting, there was another move in the capital, this time it was Zhu Gui, the thirteenth son of the former emperor, who was accused of "corruption and cruelty", stripped of the title of vassal king, and imprisoned in Datong. Next, there was another edict to the kings, saying that the name of the following year was changed to "Jianwen", which was also to tell these uncles that he Zhu Yunwen was already their monarch.

At this time, it was the beginning of the new year, and when the family was wearing red and celebrating the New Year, Zhu Di took Zheng He, Ma Bin, and his three sons to the city of Beiping Mansion together.

At this time, the son Zhu Gaochi was already a twenty-year-old young man, and he already had a son under his knees, but he was still as obedient to his father as he was when he was a child, and he often reached out to help Zhu Di, who was actually not old at all, and he was very cautious everywhere.

Seeing his son like this, Zhu Di felt funny and warm, and said,

"Your father and I haven't needed your help yet, so I don't have to be so careful."

"That's it,"

The second son, Zhu Gaoxu, glanced at his eldest brother and said,

"Daddy is still very young, why do you make it look like he is about to lose his walk."

"Uh-huh, Daddy is very young."

The third son, Zhu Gaosui, nodded and echoed his second brother.

Gao Chi was denied again and again, but he was not angry, but just smiled.

Although these three sons are all out of themselves and Princess Xu, but their personalities are very different, the son of Gao Chi gives people the impression of being loyal and benevolent, and is often evaluated as not at all like his father and mother, but Zhu Di knows very well that this child is only cowardly on the outside, but he is very strong in his heart, and his character is exactly when he was a teenager and trained in Fengyang, Zhongdu.

And the second son Gao Xu has a strong temperament, even violent, and is most interested in marching and fighting all day long, although he is only eighteen years old, he has already been mixed in the military camp for several years, and in the evaluation of everyone, he is also the one who is most like himself, but he knows his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhu Di also knows his strengths and weaknesses, and knows how to control him.

The third son, Gao Sui, is just fifteen years old, although he is not too young, but he has almost no personality and position of his own, and he will help the eldest brother talk, and then follow the second brother around, which is also the most laughable.

But no matter what, when watching the three children grow up and be able to entrust them with important responsibilities, Zhu Di's mood still feels very comforting.

Climbing the city tower of Beiping, jumping far away, I can't help but feel a little emotional,

"Chi'er, Xu'er, Sui'er, this Beiping is our home, we must guard it here at all times, you must not forget it."

"Don't worry, Father,"

Gao Chi nodded and said,

"The child will definitely do his best to protect our Beiping and protect our home."

This answer made Zhu Di's heart move, because he was too calm, as if he had already been mentally prepared, knowing his father's current situation, and thinking that this child would often talk to Master Daoyan, and even ask some questions, he suddenly felt very relieved, it seems that his son can take on the role of an assistant.

But Gao Xu's attitude is different from that of his eldest brother, and he is very disapproving.

"Who would be so bold as to dare to come to my Beiping, even if he dares to come, I will let him have no return! Dad, you don't have to worry about it. ”

"yes, yes, the boys will beat the guy who dares to mess with us."

Gao Sui echoed his second brother again.

Zhu Di looked at the three of them, and couldn't help but smile happily and said,

"Okay, with the words of the three of you, I will be relieved to be a father."

Coming down from the city tower and walking back slowly, the sound of children singing ballads came from a distance, faintly listening, some interesting words appeared from time to time, Zhu Di couldn't help but ask,

"What are the urchins singing?"

"This ......"

Zheng He and Ma Bin glanced at each other, and a strange smile appeared on their faces,

"It's some prophetic ballad."

"Prophecy? What prophecy? ”

Zhu Di asked a little strangely.

Ma Bin looked at him, and finally couldn't help but say,

"Fourth master, don't you know, now there is a saying in the market that 'Beiping is the dragon city, and the king of Yan is the son of heaven', and those children are singing 'the lower is the earth, the upper is the sky, and there is a swallow in the middle'."

"Prophecy, Ballad ......"

Zhu Di thought about it for a while, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, is this the effect of the third thing Master Dao Yan did?

Turning his head to look at Zheng He, seeing that he nodded at him, he hesitated and said,

"Okay, don't worry about these market things, let's go back."

Although these folk circulars are beneficial to themselves, they will definitely be known by the imperial court, that is, Zhu Yunwen, you must know that the eyes and ears sent from the capital nowadays, although they cannot be said to be all over the streets and alleys of Beiping, they must also be indispensable.

Thinking like this, Zhu Di asked Ma Bin and his three sons to go back to the palace first, and he rushed to Qingshou Temple with Zheng He.

At the beginning of the new year, it stands to reason that things like the dojo should be indispensable, but this Dao Yan, who is the abbot, actually slept upside down in the meditation room, which made Zhu Di angry and funny.

"Master, do you want to become a reclining Buddha?"

"Ah, the old man is waiting for the fourth master, why are you here now?"

Dao Yan sat up and smiled.

Zhu Di was not polite, and sat down directly on the meditation bed,

"Since you know that this king will come, then the master must also know the intention of this king?"
