Chapter 1: My brother-in-law is the crown prince
The second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty.
Dusk is approaching, but the Forbidden City, located at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain in Nanjing, is already lit up like day.
The continuous glazed roof ridge is like a long dragon, extending to the East Palace in a corner of the Forbidden City.
The courtyard of the East Palace was undulating, but at this time, someone was so anxious that he wanted to stomp his feet, shouting: "Stop, stop......"
The man who spoke was panting and his face was white, and he was wearing a gown, which was embroidered with nine chapters, but because the sleeves of the gown were too long, he looked even more clumsy and embarrassed when he ran.
At this time, the person running in front of him poked his head out of the moon cave, but it was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.
The young man said with a palpitating look on his face: "If my brother-in-law doesn't beat me, I won't run." ”
So, the man who was panting after chasing after him was angry in an instant, gritted his teeth and said: "If the son doesn't teach, the father's fault, if you don't teach you a hard lesson today, won't you have to go to the house tomorrow to expose the tiles?" ”
The young man immediately shouted, "But you are not my father." ”
The man in the gown didn't care about Sven anymore, and said with wide eyes, "Eldest brother is like father." ”
"It's not my brother...... either"
Then the man in the gown shouted, "I am your brother-in-law!" ”
The boy apparently wanted to plead.
At this time, along the wall of the moon cave, several tiptoeing eunuchs took advantage of the young man's conversation in the air, but they unexpectedly got behind the young man, and one of them dragged the young man like a vicious dog pounced on food, and said in surprise: "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness the Prince, people take it, take it." ”
As soon as he shouted, the young man wanted to struggle, but the other eunuchs had rushed up in a hurry, this one dragging his arms and the other hugging his legs, like magnets, dragging the young man so that he couldn't move.
The man who was called the prince in the garment breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Don't hurt him! ”
Only then did the prince remember his appearance, put his hands behind his back, became calm and relaxed, and slowly paced forward.
The young man shouted unconvinced: "You sneak attack, bastards, I'll clean you up when I turn around." ”
It didn't seem to be able to understand the hatred, and while continuing to struggle, he said: "Sister, sister, help!" ”
When the prince came up to him in displeasure.
The young man was already exhausted by several eunuchs, and the prince was tall and a little fat, like a wall in front of the young man.
The young man's head fell at this time, and he said crisply: "Brother-in-law, I was wrong!" ”
The prince was still aggressive, but suddenly his face was slightly gentle, and his tone was obviously a lot calmer: "What's wrong?" ”
"I shouldn't have hit anyone."
"Do you dare next time?"
The young man confessed: "Next time...... Don't dare anymore. ”
The prince waved his hand, and the eunuchs retreated, and then said, "Go to the study and say." ”
The prince in front of him is none other than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi.
And this young man is Zhang Anshi, the half-brother of the crown princess Zhang.
Zhang Anshi's father died in the war of the Yongle Emperor Jingyan, so he neglected to discipline, and because his brother-in-law Zhu Gaochi was a kind person, so in this Nanjing City, Zhang Anshi was already a well-known gentleman at a young age.
Today, Zhang Anshi beat someone again, and was sued by the subordinate officials of the East Palace in front of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaochi was furious, and he planned to clean up this brother-in-law well.
But in the end, he relented again, although he was angry when he looked at this kid, and when he got to the study, after sitting down, most of his anger dissipated, but he sighed first and said: "You love to mess around so much at a young age, it's the fault of this palace." Sit down. ”
"Oh." Zhang Anshi was not afraid of Zhu Gaochi, but now that his brother-in-law was furious, he still honestly knelt on one side and posed as a well-behaved person.
It has been half a year since he came to this world, and at first, Zhang Anshi was shocked, frightened, and uneasy, but slowly ...... He began to assimilate into the era and, of course, most importantly...... In this world, he has the love of the prince's brother-in-law and the princess's sister in front of him.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi glanced at him, and saw that he was suddenly honest, and sighed: "Why are you beating people?" ”
"The man was selling counterfeit medicine, and I poked him." When Zhang Anshi said this, he learned the tone of the pharmacist and said, "Then he said to me: Young people should not talk nonsense, otherwise, you will suffer." “
Zhang Anshi shrugged, showed a helpless look, and continued: "I saw him say this, so I had to beat him. ”
Zhu Gaochi: "......"
Zhu Gaochi's face twitched, and finally said with a straight face: "The gentleman is kind, and the villain is vindictive." No matter how unjust there is in the world, let it not be ......."
Zhang Anshi immediately said: "I know that I am wrong. ”
"I'm not done yet, don't interrupt."
"Ah...... The brother-in-law said slowly. ”
Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth: "You are a relative of the emperor, so you can't fight with others, otherwise, where is the system?" Your sister is used to you, but this palace is the prince, how can she indulge you? ”
As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi lowered his voice: "What's more, there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and you are not angry, do you know...... Father Emperor a few days ago...... I listened to you......"
Zhang Anshi said in his heart, isn't the current emperor Zhu Di also a ruthless person? My nephew Zhu Yunwen is all right, and I am taking him as an example.
But......... Is his reputation already so bad that he actually listens to it?
This can't help but make Zhang Anshi worried.
You must know that the current emperor has three sons, and although his brother-in-law is the crown prince, the emperor prefers Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han.
But can he be blamed for this? Since he crossed over to this world, most of the time he is still honest and duty-bound, and he only beat a vendor selling counterfeit drugs yesterday.
And he is notorious, on the one hand, the original owner of the body is not a good bird, and on the other hand, he is afraid that someone deliberately slandered in front of the emperor.
Looking at his brother-in-law Zhu Gaochi's worried appearance, Zhang Anshi sighed in his heart, no, I can't continue like this, I want to be a new person, change my mind, and strive to leave a good impression.
Zhu Gaochi said at this time: "Okay, let's not take it as an example." ”
"Oh." Zhang Anshi nodded honestly.
"Hungry, aren't you?"
Zhang Anshi shook his head.
Zhu Gaochi knelt and sat down, seeing Zhang Anshi's aggrieved appearance...... On his honest face, he pondered for a moment before he suddenly said to himself: "Those companions didn't hurt you, did they?" ”
Zhang Anshi shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that my arm hurts a little." ”
Zhu Gaochi said: "I'll punish them later, and give you out of anger." ”
Standing on the side, the eunuch's body trembled slightly, raised his head slightly in astonishment, and hurriedly lowered his head.
Zhu Gaochi asked Zhang Anshi to kneel beside him again, and then stroked Zhang Anshi's back with his hand, and sighed: "You are too confused, although I am the crown prince, but my father is not satisfied with me, because of this, I am in the East Palace, but I must be more cautious in my words and deeds." An Shi, don't mess around in the future, fortunately your sister doesn't know about it yet, otherwise ......"
Zhang Anshi was a human being, and he immediately understood Zhu Gaochi's thoughts.
He is now the imperial prince, but he is notorious, the Yongle Emperor is not satisfied with the crown prince, if someone takes his evil deeds as the prince's brother-in-law to the Yongle Emperor to add oil and vinegar, it will be very disadvantageous to the prince.
Zhang Anshi can slowly adapt to this world, thanks to the care and love of the prince's brother-in-law. Zhu Gaochi may not be an honest man, but he has nothing to say to his wife and brother.
So Zhang Anshi immediately said with a heartfelt voice: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I have decided, from tomorrow, I will be a new person, and I will not let people say that I am full of evil in the future." ”
Zhu Gaochi only caressed Zhang Anshi's back affectionately: "It's good if you have this heart." ”
Obviously, he didn't believe Zhang Anshi's gambling curse.
In this regard, Zhang Anshi was indignant, did he have no credit at all?
was caught by Zhu Gaochi, and educated him on the principles of dealing with people, and Zhang Anshi was released from the East Palace.
As soon as he came out of the East Palace, Zhang Anshi immediately looked like a bird out of the cage.
And outside the East Palace, there were already people looking forward to it, this person was dressed in a green coat and a small hat, and when he saw Zhang Anshi coming out, he immediately greeted him, bowed and said: "Childe, Childe was not punished, right?" ”
"Punished, punished by what? It's too late for my brother-in-law to love me. Zhang Anshi looked at his little servant Zhang San with a smug face, there is such a brother-in-law in this life, but he has not come to this experience in vain.
In the future, my brother-in-law will be the emperor!
