() At this time, accompanied by the attendants, he returned to the Qianqing Palace, and asked while changing into civilian clothes,

"Has King Yan been settled?"

"Back to the emperor, according to your instructions, it has been settled, right where you said."

The chamberlain next to him replied.

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said,

"Okay, lead the way, I'm going to see him."

"Yes."

The attendants hurriedly went out and led the way in front.

At this time, Zhu Di, who was lying on the bed, had been thinking crankily in his head, and when he seemed to be sleeping, he suddenly heard a piercing call in his ears,

"The emperor has arrived—"

What? Zhu Di didn't react for a while, until the door was pushed open with a "bang", and then he thought that Zhu Yunwen was coming, so he hurriedly turned over and sat up, and looked at the door in a daze.

And Zhu Yunwen stepped in and saw this picture, the fourth uncle was sitting on the bed with his clothes together, looking at himself in a daze, and for some reason, he wanted to laugh in his heart.

"Alas......"

The chamberlain on the side took a step forward with some anxiety and said in a low voice,

"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness King Yan, don't sit like this anymore, the emperor is here."

"Oh......"

Zhu Di was still guessing the purpose of the other party's coming, but his body had regained its agility, and he jumped up and gave a slight salute.

"Your Majesty."

"Hmm,"

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, then looked at the attendants around him and said,

"You all step down first, I want to have a good talk with the fourth uncle, no one is allowed to disturb them, including Mr. Huang and them, if there is something to do, let them wait in the imperial study."

"Yes."

The chamberlain withdrew with all the little eunuchs, and closed the door from the outside.

Finally, only their uncle and nephew were left around, Zhu Yunwen exhaled a long breath and sat down on the chair next to him, while Zhu Di stood still and did not move.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and after being quiet for a while, Zhu Yunwen said,

"Fourth uncle, my nephew has become the emperor."

"Well, the minister entered Beijing this time to come to congratulate."

Zhu Di is lukewarm and authentic.

Zhu Yunwen's eyes fixed on his face and said,

"I have something I want to ask you, if Fourth Uncle you are no longer the commander of the three armies on the northern border, then who will replace you?"

"What ......"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, what did he mean by this? The mind turned quickly, but he didn't come up with a result, so he said truthfully,

"The minister doesn't understand what His Majesty means."

"Ha ......"

Looking at the fourth uncle, who had always been calm, he showed a confused expression at this time, Zhu Yunwen finally laughed and said,

"I intend to let the fourth uncle return to the court to be the prince of the prison country and help my nephew to govern the government together, is the fourth uncle willing?"

This is also testing me-

Zhu Di thought to himself, if it was the unguarded self, how would he answer?

Deliberately frowned, looked up at his nephew and said,

"Does Your Majesty mean to let me work with Huang Zicheng and them?"

"yes,"

Zhu Yunwen was a little surprised by his rhetorical question, so he nodded,

"What's wrong? Fourth uncle, are you unwilling? ”

"Of course I don't want to,"

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said,

"What do several of them think of me on weekdays, I think Your Majesty, you must know very well that working with these hostile people, in contrast, it is better to go to Beiping to guard the border and protect the stability of my Ming land, which is better than this melon field and Li Xia and being suspicious."

This is really what the fourth uncle can say-

Zhu Yunwen listened very comfortably.

The reason why he asked this was indeed out of temptation, if the fourth uncle really had the heart to peep into the throne, I am afraid he would not easily let go of the opportunity to be a prisoner, and if there was a ghost in his heart, then he would only use some pale and far-fetched reasons to shirk it. But now, the fourth uncle simply said that he was unwilling to work with Huang Zicheng and them, unabashedly showing that he knew that someone was slandering him behind his back, and indirectly said that he preferred the idea of defending the peace of the country in the north to power.

However, in this way, Zhu Yunwen, who was originally out of temptation, really hoped that he could be by his side in his heart. After a moment of silence, he said,

"Mr. Huang, they have some misunderstandings about you, Fourth Uncle, but these people are loyal to me, and my nephew will not alienate them. It's just that the fourth uncle, you and I are close relatives and flesh and blood, and they are different, but another kind of trust, the fourth uncle might as well think about it. ”

"Don't think about it,"

Zhu Di really didn't appreciate it at all, and decisively refused,

"Anyway, I won't deal with those of them, not to mention that I don't have the slightest interest in the power of the DPRK, and marching and fighting is what I prefer to do."

"Fourth Uncle,"

Zhu Yunwen patiently persuaded,

"You are my uncle, isn't it good to govern the Ming Dynasty with me? And don't forget, Fourth Uncle, you promised to take care of your nephew in front of your father, why don't you even want to stay with your nephew until now? ”

"If I'm not mistaken,"

Zhu Di's expression looked almost angry,

"At that time, in front of my eldest brother, His Majesty said that he would respect me as much as he respected my eldest brother, so why can't I respect my own thoughts until now?"

Looking at his childlike expression, Zhu Yunwen couldn't cry or laugh a little, and had already put the suspicious words that those ministers had said behind him for the time being, and after thinking about it, he nodded helplessly and said,

"Okay, but I still hope that the fourth uncle will think about it again, so let's give you a month, and during this period, you can stay in the palace and live."

"What?"

He was going to keep himself in the palace for a month? Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, his face immediately sank, and he said,

"So, is the minister under house arrest by His Majesty?"

"Fourth uncle, don't get me wrong,"

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said,

"My nephew just wants you to stay here with me and wait for other uncles to come, and I have already sent another edict to the kings to enter the capital to see me immediately, I don't think anyone will dare not come this time."

Seeing this moment, a trace of coldness flashed in Zhu Yunwen's eyes, and Zhu Di was silent.

Glancing at him again, Zhu Yunwen said,

"By the way, during this time, does the fourth uncle have any requirements?"

"Request?"

Zhu Di thought about it, and suddenly seemed to remember something,

"By the way, with me this time, there is also a chamberlain and seven guards, who have been serving by my side for many years, and I hope that His Majesty will allow him to enter the palace, and the seven guards also hope to place them in a proper place."

"Okay, that's right,"

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said,

"Just let the chamberlain come into the palace, the seven guards, let them live in Jinyiwei temporarily, what does the fourth uncle think?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

This time, Zhu Di gave a very measured salute and thanked him.

Zhu Yunwen smiled knowingly, stood up and said,

"In this way, I won't disturb the fourth uncle's rest, but my nephew will still give you a more comfortable place to live."

"Your Majesty, go slowly."

Zhu Di is neither humble nor arrogant.
