Chapter 400: The Emperor's Heart
Zhang Anshi saw Zhu Zhanji in a blink of an eye.
Zhu Zhanji stood in the corner, and today he looked taciturn, like a quiet teenager.
Zhang Anshi also glanced at it hurriedly, and immediately bowed down and said, "Sister, Your Majesty forced me to do it." ”
The crown princess Zhang was obviously very angry, and said angrily: "What did you say earlier? Earlier, I said, wherever you want to go, you have to say hello, you are already a husband, a father, don't you take your life into account? ”
Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Don't dare next time, even if there is a holy decree, I will not respect the decree." ”
Zhang was obviously even more angry: "Don't drag around and involve your father." ”
Zhang Anshi said: "In short, I won't dare next time." ”
Zhang's eyes blinked, and the tears in his eyes fell one by one.
So while wiping away his tears, he said faintly: "I hope that you will be idle for a while, and you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and you are the governor, our Ming Dynasty, thousands of soldiers and civilians, is there such a person who can do things?" In this world, can't you be able to do without you? Now there are so many people who hate you, I am worried all day long, teaching me a woman's family, I have already become a wife, but I still have to worry about you, an unsuccessful brother, I ...... It is better to die, and do what you want, so that you will not be seen in life and take risks all day long. ”
Zhang Anshi originally wanted to admit his mistake and let his sister not be upset, but he was directly startled at this time, this is heavier than before.
He knows his sister well, and his sister speaks, after all, she is the crown princess, every sentence will be considered, every word has a purpose, and she has a diplomatic demeanor.
Today's wording has increased by at least two points, this time, he is afraid that he will not get out so easily, but seeing his sister crying so sadly, he has no guilt in his heart It is fake.
Zhang Anshi tried hard to wipe his eyes, wiped his eyes red, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sister, I was wrong, I must be careful in the future, and I will never teach you to worry." ”
Zhang ignored him and continued to cry, only saying that he wanted to die.
Zhu Gaochi stood aside, not daring to move.
Zhu Zhanji rushed up at this time, hugged Zhang's and said, "Mother, mother...... Don't be angry anymore, although Uncle is a confused bastard, isn't it okay to be alive? ”
Zhang Anshi was speechless, and saw Zhang pointing to the spiritual position and said: "When my father was here, he served the Beiping Palace, and his life was gone, of course this is his loyalty, and the man should be loyal and filial." But the heirs of the Zhang family are not prosperous, he is just a son like you, he has a spirit in the sky, and he knows that you play with fire every day, can you be blind? I am a married daughter, I can't inherit my father's incense, I only hate myself for being a daughter. ”
She became more and more excited, crying and crying, and even stroked her forehead slightly.
Zhu Gaochi was startled, and hurriedly said: "Oh, don't be angry, come on, come on, go and ask the imperial doctor to come." ”
Zhang Anshi also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister, I'll take a look." ”
Zhang said: "You go away." ”
Zhang Anshi: "......"
Zhu Gaochi was busy with the eunuchs and helped the Zhang family to go to the dormitory to rest.
Before leaving, Zhang said: "Look at him, let him kneel in front of his father's spiritual seat and think." ”
So after a while, dozens of eunuchs entered the palace in a puff of smoke, and surrounded Zhang Anshi on the inside and outside of the three layers.
Zhang Anshi watched this battle, so he had to honestly kneel on the cold ground.
Not long after, Zhu Zhanji went to see his mother and came back.
He squatted down directly beside Zhang Anshi, looking at Zhang Anshi without blinking.
Zhang Anshi was not in a good mood at this time, glared at the little guy and said, "You go away." ”
Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "You made the mother concubine angry." ”
"What do you have to do with it?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "Hmph, I'm different from you, I feel sorry for my mother." ”
Zhang Anshi simply closed his eyes and ignored him.
Zhu Zhanji obviously didn't plan to stop there, and continued to chatter on the side: "The mother concubine broke her heart for you, are you not ashamed?" ”
Zhang Anshi said: "Okay, okay, you're right, okay, I'm going to think about it." ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "I am the surrogate concubine here to watch my uncle, without me, my uncle must be hiding somewhere to be lazy." ”
Zhang Anshi said: "You ......"
More than an hour later.
Zhu Zhanji actually served a bowl of rice, and the dishes on the rice were piled high, he held chopsticks, squatted in front of Zhang Anshi, and lowered his head to pull.
Zhang Anshi was hungry at this time, and said with a sigh: "You are like a grandson of a prince, you don't stand or sit." ”
"Mother said, I have to keep an eye on my uncle." After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, he took another bite of rice.
After kneeling for so long, Zhang Anshi was tired and hungry at this time, and he couldn't raise his arrogance, and said with a little pity: "I'm hungry too." ”
Zhu Zhanji shook his head: "Uncle, you bear with it, after a dozen hours, wait for the concubine to lose her anger." Don't you know, the imperial doctor went to see the disease, saying that the mother concubine had a liver fire, and if it was like this for a long time, it would kill someone. ”
Zhang Anshi stopped talking and sighed gloomily.
Zhu Zhanji said: "I know that my uncle wants to say that the queen mother is a woman, and she is not sensible. ”
"I didn't say that." Zhang Anshi gritted his teeth.
"That's what Uncle said in his heart." Zhu Zhanji continued to pull the meal, while saying vaguely.
Zhang Anshi said: "You slander me! ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "Uncle, I want to eat a popsicle after dinner, do you like mung beans or grapes?" ”
Zhang Anshi was still quite worried about his sister at this time, so he said upsetly: "Don't bother me." ”
Zhu Zhanji stood up and said to the eunuchs around him: "Go down, you don't have to be on duty here, I am here." ”
The eunuchs did not dare to slack off, so they had to retreat quietly.
After everyone left, Zhu Zhanji squatted back to Zhang Anshi's side, holding his face and said: "I'm also very troubled, if I keep an eye on my uncle, it will be unjust." But if it is perfunctory, it is unfilial, and it is difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety since ancient times. ”
Zhang Anshi closed his eyes directly, looking disgusted at the guy in front of him.
But after kneeling for so long, the pain in the leg is fake, this leg seems to no longer belong to you, and the pain is terrible.
Zhu Zhanji still nagged: "Uncle is so good to me on weekdays, I can't bear to see Uncle suffer." ”
Zhang Anshi opened his eyes and said, "But what? ”
"How does Uncle know that there is?" Zhu Zhanji said in surprise.
Zhang Anshi: "......"
Zhu Zhanji said: "But I feel more sorry for my mother, and I can't bear to make her angry again." ”
Zhang Anshi: "......"
Zhu Zhanji lowered his voice and said: "A few days ago, when the concubine talked about her uncle with Mrs. Peng Chengbo, she was very happy, saying that her uncle was promising, and she raised her eyebrows, even if she was not a relative, she relied on her uncle's merits, which was rare in the world, and said that her uncle was Wei Qing. ”
Zhang Anshi said: "Okay, I know, I know." ”
"Uncle, don't you think I'm lying to you?"
Zhang Anshi remained silent.
Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhang Anshi deeply: "Uncle, you are so confused!" ”
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but say, "What do you want to say?" ”
"On weekdays, I see that my uncle is very smart, but why is he so confused today. No, it doesn't seem that Uncle is confused, but in this world, the person who knows the mother best is not Uncle, but me. When Zhu Zhanji said this, he was not without pride.
"The mother concubine is the crown princess, so she won't punish you because you are ordered to do things. No matter how you say it, you are also a public servant, and you are an escort, so you can't find anything wrong. ”
"The severity of this matter, there are few people in the world who have seen through the mother, the mother is doing this today, in fact, ......"
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but say: "Actually, what is it?" ”
Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "I can't say this, say it, if the godmother knows about it, she will scold me." ”
Zhang Anshi said: "Zhanji, you have changed, you have become Uncle doesn't recognize you, Uncle always thinks you are a well-behaved child, who knows that you have begun to play with Uncle now." ”
Zhu Zhanji pouted and said, "Uncle will know tomorrow." ”
With that, Zhu Zhanji stood up and walked out quickly.
After a while, Zhu Zhanji came with a mung bean popsicle in his hand and licked it happily, looking like he was relishing.
In a trance, Zhang Anshi realized that this little guy, who couldn't even walk steadily, had grown up.
It's a pity that Zhang Anshi didn't feel gratified, but he only felt tired.
Look, grown up children, once they become adults, they are not so cute, this guy has a greasy smell all over his body.
………………
Empress Xu's body has always been very weak.
After all, he is old, and he has old diseases in the past, since the bad news of beating Zhu Di came, he was frightened, and his body became a little weaker.
Zhu Di simply ignored the affairs of the foreign court for the time being, and only accompanied him in the interior, and when he got old, he could not help but recall many things in the past.
Talking about the past in Peiping Mansion, talking about three children, or, talking about his own grandchildren.
As a result, the couple inevitably had mixed feelings.
From the beginning, they have never been husband and wife of ordinary people's families, but their human nature is the same, not because you are a prince, so your emotions will be more precious than ordinary people.
Perhaps because of Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Di was sent to Fengyang Zhongdu to learn farming at a young age and experience the hardships of the world.
Or, it was in Beiping at the beginning, according to the will of Emperor Taizu Gao, to attack outside the Saiwai, in the long military career, in the vast desert, even if you were a vassal king at that time, you are a nobleman, you still have to experience the world, and there is that kind of homesickness and loneliness that is difficult to hide.
Zhu Di sighed, he has experienced too many things in his life, and it is precisely because of this kind of experience that is far beyond ordinary people, in the years of deception and sword fighting, that he cherishes Xu's side, sits opposite him, and talks about some family affairs.
At this time, he is the most relaxed time, he can let go of all the dark guards of human nature, and he does not have to worry about the nervousness caused by someone's plans for him.
Queen Xu smiled and said: "I don't know how the second and third children are outside, but when I saw their reports, they were all fine." ”
"They are still young, and they wish that people would be outside, no one would be in charge, and they would be little overlords behind closed doors." Zhu Di smiled and said: "When they are also old, I am afraid that they will miss Nanjing City, miss me and you." ”
Xu Shi bowed: "Then when they are old, will Your Majesty allow them to come back?" ”
Zhu Di sighed: "Since you have taken root outside, it's good to be outside, this is the emperor's family...... What do you do when you come back? I used to wonder why the imperial examination loved him so much when the imperial brother was there, but he was so estranged from his sons, and he almost didn't care about it anymore, but gave all his father's love to the imperial brother. ”
Zhu Di said, his eyes were gloomy: "I was speculating at the time, thinking that it was because the sons were not as good as the imperial brothers, or just because of ...... He was the eldest son. But now, I really understand, this is because the emperor just wanted to kill the thoughts of the princes. He was afraid, showed affection, and instead gave the other brothers other hopes that they shouldn't have. ”
"Presumably, when the imperial examination was in Nanjing, every day must have been and now I am like you, thinking about me and King Ning outside the Saiwai, and also thinking about King Xiang and King Zhou. But he is the Son of Heaven, he is not only a father, but also a king. So...... The Son of Heaven is ruthless, not because he is the emperor, but because he has to be mean and unkind. But it is precisely because of affection that we need to be ruthless, and it is precisely because the emperor loves the sons that he only loves the royal brothers and alienates the sons, which is to prevent brothers from fighting each other and killing each other. ”
Empress Xu listened to it and was silent.
Zhu Di had tears in his eyes, as if he was thinking about some of the past, or thinking of the strict father who had behaved in every possible way, but was always indifferent, and he couldn't help it, he took a deep breath.
Footsteps could be heard outside.
Zhu Di's face turned cold, and his eyes, which were faintly foggy, suddenly became sharp.
"Your Majesty." Some people bowed down outside the temple.
"What?" Zhu Di's tone was no longer as full of emotion as Fang Cai, and was a little more indifferent.
"The Crown Princess...... Sick...... Tai Hospital, invited many imperial doctors to visit. ”
Zhu Di's face sank when he heard this.
Queen Xu couldn't help but say, "It's good, why is it sick?" Your Majesty, will it be two days ago, because Your Majesty and Zhang Qing ......"
Zhu Di said: "Come in and talk." ”
The eunuch crept in and bowed down again: "If you go back to the queen's mother, I heard that it is...... Zhang Dudu went to the East Palace, and the crown princess was angry and said...... Say ......"
Zhu Di said: "It's okay, you tell me carefully." ”
"Said that Zhang Dudu always does dangerous things, teach her to worry, the Zhang family is such a son as him, the father of the crown princess Niangniang, died in Jingjing, and the two sisters and brothers depend on each other, but Zhang Dudu offends people everywhere, arouses the resentment of the world, and always puts himself in a dangerous situation...... also said that Zhang Dudu was messing around, but he also instigated His Majesty, if Your Majesty has something to do...... Zhang Dudu is really disloyal and unfilial......"
When Zhu Di heard this, he was embarrassed for a while, and he couldn't speak.
It was Zhu Di's idea to go to Jiangxi.
Zhang Anshi cannot be blamed for this.
Zhang Anshi has meritorious service in escorting, and as for causing the resentment of the people of the world, it is also because Zhang Anshi is loyal to the emperor and unswerving. has also experienced danger, if you want to talk about this, it is also Zhu Di's lead.
So theoretically, no matter what, this can't be blamed on Zhang Anshi's head.
But the crown princess is his daughter-in-law, of course, he can't blame him, the emperor's father-in-law, because he is worried, and he is angry with Zhang Anshi, but it is understandable.
This is for any woman, I am afraid it will be like this.
Zhu Di's old face turned red, and he raised his head and said, "Has the imperial doctor examined it?" ”
"I've been treated."
"How?"
"It means that the liver is on fire, and the accumulated worries become diseases, so you need to take care of them."
Zhu Di sighed: "It's not easy for her to be a woman." ”
Empress Xu said: "Her feelings, the concubines couldn't be clearer, when His Majesty sent troops to the outside world, the concubines were in the Beiping Palace, and they were also worried day and night. ”
The eunuch said: "Therefore, the crown princess also punished Zhang Dudu, and made him kneel for a day to think about it, but he didn't get a drop of water." ”
Zhu Di sighed: "This can't be blamed on Zhang Anshi, he is loyal and filial piety, and it is difficult to be caught in the middle." ”
Empress Xu frowned: "The concubines have also heard that there are countless people who are resentful of Zhang Qing outside. This time in Jiangxi, someone dared to do something to His Majesty, and His Majesty was still like this, let alone Zhang Qing. ”
Zhu Di said: "It's still you and the crown princess who thought about it thoroughly, but I didn't expect this." ”
Empress Xu said: "He is the closest relative of the crown prince and the crown princess, and he is also Zhu Zhanji's uncle, there are so many courtiers in the world, and there are capable people, is there only one lack of Zhang Qing?" How can Your Majesty teach him to do all the dangerous and offensive things? ”
Zhu Di listened, and his heart was also overturned, so his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be thinking.
"I can't do without him now." It didn't take long for Zhu Di to open his eyes sharply and say categorically: "Now at the most critical moment, it is really impossible to leave him." There are indeed many talented people in the world, but how many people have such a responsibility as him? Everybody knows it's a thankless task, who does it? ”
"Besides, this new deal really has to be this kid, it's not that I didn't think of this, it's just ...... Speaking of which, how many people in the world not only understand the way of the economy, but also try their best to implement the new policy, and can still be in charge of the brocade guard? ”
After a pause, Zhu Di continued: "The most important thing is that this kid is really daring, a smart person, I have seen a lot, but many people only put their cleverness on Mingzhebao's head, and what they ponder every day is the so-called learning of doing things, what is the use of such cleverness?" Zhang Qing dared to work hard. ”
Xu couldn't help but feel sorry when he heard it.
Zhu Di said again: "But the princess's worries are also justified, I thought about it, but I remembered something." ”
"What?"
"See, this matter is at the end of the day, before that, I ordered people to go to the vassal kings to let them get ideas, and also taught people to consult some books, but for a while they were still indecisive, always afraid that the law of the ancestors would be broken because of this. But now it seems that it is imperative. ”
Empress Xu is a very smart person, and when she heard Zhu Di say this, she seemed to be quite awake: "Your Majesty's meaning, the concubine understands, but will there be gossip outside?" ”
Zhu Di's eyes widened, and as soon as he heard the four words gossip, he was furious: "Is there still less gossip I have received?" Fuck it, the most important thing in this world is the good guy who has no mouth to hide! ”
