348. Empress Xu: I entrust you with something
Zhu Di ordered the palace people to prepare meals, but in the end, it was not done, and was disturbed by Zhu Gaoxu.
Yesterday morning, Zhu Di discussed with hundreds of officials in the Fengtian Palace, about Zhu Gaoxu's land, this time he made up his mind.
Seeing his second son like this, Zhu Di rarely didn't get angry, and no longer asked why Zhu Gaoxu didn't go to Yunnan to become a vassal, but said earnestly:
"I still remember that your imperial grandfather said that you were cunning and ruthless...... Words and actions are frivolous, and after his death, he let you and Gao Chi go to the court to mourn together, although they finally returned halfway.
"But you stole your uncle Xu Huizu's BMW and returned to Beiping, and on the way, you even killed Zhuozhou Yicheng and other officials and people, just because they didn't let you pass, so I was blamed by the Jianwen court.
"But you saved me in the battle of Dongchang, and Puzikou also desperately rescued me, I sighed and said to you that Gao Chi was weak and sickly, and you were brave and good at fighting, and you worked very hard, which is what I said to you."
Zhu Di sat at the table, and Queen Xu was also there, as if he was an outsider who was not suitable to listen to this, except for Zhu Gaoxu, who was kneeling on the ground.
Don't listen to Zhu Di's confession, otherwise Zhu Di will be unhappy in the future and will click on himself...... Cheng Yuan said: "That one, father and queen mother, I feel that the time is not early, and it is time to go home." ”
"Oh?" Empress Xu's phoenix eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "What, Xianning or An Cheng, they care about you like this, Ming'er will train them in the palace, and you will sit down and eat." ”
She didn't believe the nonsense of this junior.
Fang Cai also said earnestly that Zhu Gaoxu's Zhu Di turned his head at the moment, Cheng Yuan is a smart person, and the excuse he made up is also interesting.
Speaking of which, at first, I thought about letting Cheng Yuan go back first, after all, he wanted to say something considerate, but at this moment Zhu Di changed his mind.
"Sit down and eat your meal, whether the stool is not soft, or my wine and food are not fragrant, the two sisters are not urging you, and they will not urge you, eat you."
Empress Xu smiled and sandwiched the sweet and sour carp into the Chengyuan bowl: "Taste it, it tastes good, it is rare for Your Majesty to order someone to prepare such a hearty one." ”
Cheng Yuan said loudly: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and he couldn't hesitate at this moment:
"The matter of Yunnan Tusi has not been decided, I want to think about it, change you to Yunnan.
"When I ascended the throne, Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qiguo, and Wang Ning, the Marquis of Yongchun, led by them, wrote to the heroes of the martyrdom one after another, asking you to make Zhu Gaoxu the crown prince, but I personally refused."
"In the battle of Baigou River, I was attacked by the imperial army at that time, and it was Cheng Yuan who commanded it, and you took the opportunity to lead the elite cavalry to break through, and set fire to the Jianwen army behind it, Cheng Yuan and you killed Zhai Neng and his son, and then turned defeat into victory.
"But I was wrong, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid of giving you more misunderstandings, today's words to you, I hope you will do it yourself, Gao Sui will be a feudal clan tomorrow, and you will be a feudal domain next month, there must be no mistake."
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he stood up and said for a long time: "Old man, if you didn't say those words, how could your son think that he has the heart to be a prince, you think that if you don't promise like that, your son won't save you."
"You are wrong, no matter what, my son will lead the army to save you, but you have never admitted that I am brave and good at fighting, and blindly say that I am rude and reckless, and I am a murderer, and you still hold on to what happened back then."
Seeing that Zhu Di was silent, Empress Xu stood up and said, "Gao Xu, how can you talk to your father like this." ”
Zhu Gaoxu got up and said reluctantly: "The son is willing to take up the domain, and the son retired." ”
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu turn around and leave, Zhu Di kicked his eyes and scolded: "Enter your ......"
It seems that it is inappropriate, and then it shuts up.
"Cheng Yuan, look at my son, he simply doesn't listen to persuasion."
This one...... You can't continue to talk, you need to change the subject.
Cheng Yuan understood what Zhu Di meant, he wanted to show Cheng Yuan that he wanted them to be vassal.
Empress Xu was silent for a long time, chuckled, and muttered: "I haven't eaten well for a long time, Your Majesty won't be angry, and tomorrow the concubine will go to talk about him." ”
Cheng Yuan was tasteless as he picked up the rice, his eyes swept the rice grains in the bowl, and suddenly remembered something, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has official affairs." ”
"I can't talk about it if I call my father, I am a loss to you when you are your father?" Zhu Di put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Speak." ”
"There is a man named Luo Guanzhong, who has passed away, not long ago, the study guy received these manuscripts, the minister thought about it, this book is good, since His Majesty ordered someone to compile the Yongle Canon, this book should also be sorted out."
"Folk Script?"
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms."
"Got it, you can discuss this matter with Xie Jin." Zhu Di sat for a while and said, "I still have to deal with the military affairs in the north, so I won't sit down, you can talk to the queen." ”
"Yes." Cheng Yuan sat down.
As soon as Zhu Di left, he ate much more easily.
It stands to reason that foreign ministers are not allowed to enter and leave Kunning Palace at will, so Cheng Yuan didn't want to leave anyone to talk to, so he was ready to leave after eating.
Empress Xu ate quietly, then looked at Cheng Yuan and said, "Those children, you bring them to the palace in a few days, and the palace will see them." ”
Cheng Yuan heard that Empress Xu was pregnant when she toured north with Zhu Di, who wanted to be frightened by the White Lotus Sect flowing in Jinan, and the child was not kept.
"Yes, I'll send it in a few days."
"Cheng Yuan, you don't have to be restrained, this palace and His Majesty treat you as their own child, and you have also done a good thing for this palace."
Cheng Yuan was puzzled, where did he do this: "What the queen mother said, the son doesn't understand." ”
"Well, Xianning is actually a rude, even spoiled, she is not bad-hearted, since you were assassinated, she is so anxious that she vomits blood, and her personality has changed a lot.
"An Cheng, this palace watched grow up, but she also did a willful thing, that is, she used your greenhouse method to transplant the cherry blossoms that bloom in spring to Jiming Temple, which is also the inspiration you gave.
"The son of this palace is disobedient, his uncle is still imprisoned in the Guogong Mansion, Miaojin is not married, and he ran to take him home inexplicably, and even said that the cherry blossoms bloom in autumn and winter, she came back, His Majesty has never blamed this palace, this affection is led by this palace."
When Queen Xu said this, she must have hidden a lot of depression in her heart, and there is no one to talk about on weekdays, but today she may have eaten wine just now, but she said it.
"The queen mother should take good care of her body."
"Among these sons-in-law, this palace admires you very much, Chang Ning you know, she is not born in this palace, but this palace treats her as her own.
"Women can't choose to marry, a few days ago, Chang Ning wrote to Your Majesty, saying that she was not doing well, but Your Majesty didn't care about it for the sake of the overall situation."
What, Princess Changning has already sent Zhu Di a distress letter, according to the historical trajectory, she will die in less than two years.
Cheng Yuan thought secretly.
"You treat Ancheng and them very well, and Kang Ning is also married to a satisfactory husband, and this palace remembers that Changning, which is far away in Yunnan."
Princess Changning was able to write a letter, and she must have endured many things.
"What does the queen mean?"
"This palace entrusts you with something, persuade Your Majesty, and allow Chang Ning to return to Beijing to live for a few months."
Empress Xu said this, her slender fingers pinched the teacup and put it down, and she was a little worried about her dignified and gorgeous jade face.
"Yes, what the queen mother said today, the sons must remember it in their hearts, it is getting late, and the sons will not disturb the queen mother's rest, and they will leave the palace."
The night is dark, it is not appropriate to say too much, and what has been said today is enough, so leave the rest to this virtuous son-in-law to persuade Your Majesty.
"Come on, let the guards escort Xiao Yuanzi out of the palace."
