Saihazhi put it bluntly, he just didn't want to release the eldest prince.

"Saihachi, have you forgotten your identity?"

Zhu Gaoxian turned his head to look at him, it was a pair of sharp eyes that Saihazhi had never seen before, his eyes were grim, as sharp as a knife and gun, which made Saihazhi shocked.

What is his identity, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, loyal to the emperor, not a certain prince.

Saihazhi's whole body was shocked, his body stood like a javelin, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Your Highness, the minister is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is loyal to the emperor, but the emperor ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, and the minister must be loyal to His Royal Highness."

There is such a shameless person, in history, Sai Hazhi was a failed commander of the Jinyi Guard, but now it seems that as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he can do nothing but succeed, and in a sense, he is also a powerful person.

"Old Sai!" Zhu Gaoxian had to say seriously, "No matter what collusion there is between Pingjiangbo and Ulubo, this matter is done by Pingjiangbo, and it has nothing to do with the eldest prince; Secondly, you have to have a reason to imprison people, what is the reason for putting people in prison for no reason?"

And so it is!

Saihachi didn't have anything to say, "But...... In case ......"

"What's in case? Are you a vegetarian when I am a vegetarian?" Zhu Gaoxian patted him on the shoulder, "Go ahead! I still have something to do!"

After Saihazhi left, Zhu Gaoxian's face sank, he changed his clothes, and came to the West Palace, only to learn that Zhu Di went to the back garden to enjoy the snow. 「

"In this winter, go to enjoy the snow, aren't you afraid of the cold?" Zhu Gaoxian muttered, and was about to put on his clothes and go over to take a look, Zhu Di had already returned, followed by Huang Yan, the old man was holding a plum bottle in his arms, and there were a few red plums in the plum bottle.

"Daddy!" Zhu Gaoxian greeted him and helped Zhu Di up the steps, "Why did you come out on such a cold day?"

"Go out for a walk, it snowed all night last night, and I heard that the flowers in the garden are blooming, so my father was interested, and went to see, good fellow, the plum blossoms in the garden are blooming like fire. If you warm a pot of wine in that pavilion, make an appointment with three or two confidants, and enjoy the plum blossoms while drinking, it will be a good thing in the world!"

Zhu Di sighed three times, let Zhu Gaoxian take off his clothes for him, and helped him to sit down on the edge of the brazier.

Huang Yan handed over the hot tea, Zhu Gaoxian took it, and said, "Huang Banban, you can go and call Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, and Zhang Fu into the palace."

Zhu Di asked puzzled, "What do you want to do?"

Zhu Gaoxian smiled and said, "Accompany my father to drink, oh, by the way, call in the military department Shangshu Ruyu and tell him, let's not pour his wine, he can't drink, drink tea."

Zhu Di was amused and laughed, Huang Yan smiled and wanted to go out, Zhu Di beckoned, "Don't tell Ru Yu this childish thing, don't make him so angry that he refuses to enter the palace."

"Slave and maid obey!" Huang Yan also knew that Zhu Di's words were joking, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince opened his mouth, even if he knew that he was going to enter the palace to send his head, Ru Yu had to enter the palace after preparing the coffin.

It snowed well all night, and the sky had not yet cleared, but the whole capital was still filled with the joy of canonizing His Royal Highness the Prince, the snow on the streets had been swept away, sprinkled with coarse salt, and there were still many people coming and going, and the market was as lively as ever. ….

The eunuch who announced the decree rode a horse and ran on the street, and Zhang Yu and others heard that they were going to accompany the emperor to drink, so they were naturally very relaxed, which meant that the emperor's body had recovered.

Ru Yu is here, and Huang Yan came in person.

Ru Yu was the secretary of the military department, but his official position was a civil official, so he asked, "Who else is there besides the emperor?"

"His Royal Highness the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the two grandfathers of the country, and Zhang Shizi." Huang Yan smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if Lord Ru doesn't want to drink, it's good to drink tea on the side."

Ru Yu's face darkened, "Although this official is a scholar, he can't compete with these battlefield veterans, but he still needs face."

Huang Yan covered his lips with his sleeves and laughed, "In this case, please ask Lord Ru to follow our family into the palace!"

Zhu Gaoxian ordered someone to build a brazier in the plum pavilion, put a small stove in the middle, and warm the wine.

There is an iron net on the charcoal stove next to it, and the fresh venison sliced on it is added with spices, and the aroma of the meat wafts away, which makes people hungry.

The plum pavilion is surrounded by transparent glass, and the upper row of glass windows are open to breathe, and the cold air wafts in with the fragrance, which is refreshing, but also warm as spring.

On the four corners of the pavilion, there are several high ones, and the plum vase on the several is inserted with plum blossoms, and the fragrance overflows in this dense warmth, echoing with the cold fragrance on the top of the pavilion.

Several ministers met in front of the Xuanwu Gate, followed Huang Yan all the way to the Mei Pavilion in the inner garden.

After saluting, Zhu Di said, "It's hot here, don't have those false courtesies between our monarchs and ministers today, if it's hot, take off your big clothes outside, come and sit, it's warm here."

"The aroma of wine, plum and barbecue is so well matched, the emperor will really enjoy it!" Zhang Yu took off his big sweater and joked.

"Hahaha, I'm old, when I was young, I always thought of the horse leather shroud, and when I ascended the throne, in the words of the fourth child, this is the hardest errand in the whole world, where do you want to get this kind of enjoyment?"

Zhu Di proudly pointed at Zhu Gaoxian and said, "It's the fourth! I sighed with emotion today, saying that in this plum garden, the fragrance is in my heart and spleen, if I can get three or two confidants and friends, a cup of warm wine, and a cup of tea, how pleasant, the fourth child will temporarily save this bureau, and I have to make a few Aiqing go to the palace."

When Zhang Yu and the others heard this, they drank three taels of pure brew, and their whole body was full of Tai.

Ru Yu hurriedly said, "The minister is greedy for the plum blossoms in this garden in the palace, and it just so happens that the emperor's will has arrived, and the minister is thinking, this is really sleepy and met the pillow."

"Hahaha!" Zhu Di took the lead, and several people laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became much better.

Zhang Fu glanced at Zhu Gaoxian, Zhu Gaoxian nodded at him, made a look, and changed the topic, "Today, our two juniors are waiting on the side!"

Where did Zhang Yu and the others dare, they hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this can't be helped, just let Zhang Fu carry the wine pot on the side!"

Zhu Gaoxian was just joking, and said with a smile, "Then we two juniors will accompany us, and I will be bothered to bring two little eunuchs to serve on the side."

Huang Yan sighed, "Prince, why is it bothering, this is what slaves and maids should be." ….

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's drink, drink!"

Zhu Neng asked very scenously, "Your Majesty, is your dragon body well?" Can this be drunk?"

Zhu Di just picked up the cup, he didn't drink it, he didn't drink it, he froze there, staring at Zhu Neng with a pair of eyes, eager to swallow him in one gulp.

Zhu Gaoxian laughed and said, "This is the medicinal wine that I specially asked the Taiyi to brew, although the taste is a little unsatisfactory, but it is not harmful to the body."

"That's good!" Zhu Neng said calmly.

Zhu Di drank it all, "I've been hungry for several days."

The others also drank and talked about the ancient and modern Fengyue, and Zhang Fu couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, I heard that Ulugh Beg is going back to China, do you want to give him some color?"

Zhu Gaoxian shook his head, "Let them go back, and let them go back safely." However, it is time for us to come back now, and I plan to arrange for someone to meet them."

The Timurid Khanate suffered a big loss this time, as a big country across the Eurasian continent, it will definitely not swallow this breath, they will not suffer a big loss for a day, and they will not recognize the weapons and equipment of the Ming Dynasty for a day, and their military revolution is no longer in the same dimension.

In this case, Zhu Gaoxian didn't mind using Daming's weapons to teach them some truths, and this was also in line with Zhu Gaoxian's purpose of doing so much foreshadowing before.

"Let the minister go and greet him!" Zhang Fu took the initiative to say, "The minister also wants to see the terrain on Timur's side. Also, His Highness said before that there is a lot of oil in the Middle East, and sooner or later we will have to go there."

Zhu Gaoxian nodded, "Since you want to welcome it, you have to welcome it with great fanfare." I'll ask the commander of the Duoyan Sanwei to come to you, and you can bring some more people to meet them, and make sure to bring them back."

Zhang Fu said, "If there are too many people, the Timurid Khanate will definitely protest."

"No!" Zhu Gaoxian forked a piece of barbecue meat and stuffed it into his mouth, it tasted very good, he slipped a mouthful of saliva and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "Didn't Ma Heima send someone?" The purpose of coming here is to ask us to strike again, and I asked Aza to go to Kuanda and discuss with them, we can send troops, but the other party must pay."

Zhu Di and several old courtiers also stopped talking about these when they heard the two of them talking, but they listened inexplicably.

Zhang Fu's eyes lit up, "What does Your Highness mean, our main purpose is to pick up people, but on the surface, we are helping Timur?"

"Not bad!" Zhu Gaoxian likes this feeling very much, and if he says a word, the other party can understand, "We send troops on a large scale, don't we need military spending? Armored vehicles also need to burn oil all the way through, and they always have to find someone to help pay for it. And, after you go, you can find a way to arrange one or two thousand houses, stay there, and lurk, and it will be useful when the time comes."

When Zhang Fu heard this, his brain was racing rapidly, and he shouted in surprise, "Your Highness, is this going to war?"

As soon as he said this, even Zhu Di was shocked and shouted, "Fourth!"

Zhu Gaoxian's fingers were dipped in wine, and he drew a few figures on the table, these people are people who look at maps every day, and they can see at a glance that one map is the Ming Dynasty, and the other maps are clearly the drawings of the Timurid Khanate, the Golden Horde and the Ottoman Empire, and there are several areas controlled by the Ming Dynasty, Annam, Lancang, etc.

"Ulugh Beg go back, we can't detain them for no reason, after he goes back, seeing Da Ming like this, he will definitely lobby several other countries to attack my Da Ming. It is a matter of time, I think, everything is done sooner rather than later, and if there is a difficulty, the battlefield is better in the Eastern Timurid Khanate."
