Chapter 221: Zhu Jixi
Princess Jin stared at Zhu Gui for a long time, and seeing that the other party did not show any rude look on her face, her attitude eased slightly.
"It turned out that the concubine had misunderstood, what did the king want to do? Without the emperor's decree, how can everything start? ”
Princess Jin obviously didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards King Jin, but the initial worry and fear had passed, and she just wanted to live a stable life now.
Zhu Gui saw that Princess Jin's attitude had softened, and immediately said: "The matter of the holy decree, this king has already sent someone to Nanjing, and there should be news in the near future, and this king hopes that the prince can take over the title of King Jin and continue to stay in the Taiyuan fief to preside over the overall situation." ”
Zhu Gui's words made Princess Jin raise her eyebrows, obviously these words were in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that she was the widow of King Jin who made a big mistake, she would have wanted to go to Nanjing to ask the emperor about his attitude towards this matter.
Now this unresolved situation is just too much.
And because of the matter of King Jin, now Princess Jin doesn't even have someone to rely on, and those who smashed King Jin when he was alive all kinds of people who came and went to King Jin's mansion never came to the door again during this period.
Unexpectedly, at this time, it was another vassal king who took the initiative to lend a helping hand to her, an orphan and widow, and also put forward opinions on the topics she was most concerned about.
However, if you want to say that the other party has no selfish intentions, then Princess Jin obviously won't believe it.
"Don't stand here either, come in and sit with me."
Princess Jin realized that this time was not trivial, and finally remembered the way of hospitality.
Zhu Gui grabbed Xu Miaoqing's hand, which soothed the look on the latter's face who was frowning.
A lot of the stuff in the house has been emptied, and it looks very deserted.
Princess Jin also realized this, and immediately asked people to stop moving things, if the acting king can really do what he said, then Princess Jin naturally does not need to leave Taiyuan City with the prince, and there is no need to move again.
After seeing Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoqing sit down, Princess Jin ordered her subordinates to serve tea, and then continued to ask: "Is the acting king really sure that the prince can inherit the title of King of Jin?" ”
Zhu Gui saw that the other party's face was serious, so he said: "Don't hide it from the sister-in-law, the sudden changes in the situation in Taiyuan City in the past two days are actually related to this king. ”
However, Princess Jin did not show any surprised looks, but looked like it was really like this.
Although she received very little news, she also knew that the person who could stir up the entire Taiyuan City would not be a simple identity, and even if the three major families really joined forces, they might not have this strength.
But now she can understand it completely, but why would the acting king do this? Is it really just to restore stability to Taiyuan?
It would be understandable if ordinary people had such 'ambitions', but Princess Jin would not believe that as a vassal king, she would do thankless things.
"In fact, the original intention of this king is that the stability of Taiyuan can be conducive to the development of industry and commerce and the circulation of goods, which is beneficial and harmless to Taiyuan, Yunzhou, and even to the court and the people of the Ming Dynasty, so even if it is troublesome, this king will still do his best to restore order in Taiyuan, and the inheritance of the title of King Jin by the prince is the most critical part."
Zhu Gui explained.
"In this way, the prince is really worried about the country and the people."
After listening to Zhu Gui's words, Princess Jin's face changed slightly, and she couldn't tell whether she was mocking or emotion in her tone.
But in any case, for her, with the support of the acting king, her life will at least not be as sad as before.
As for whether the acting king really has other ideas, it doesn't matter that much.
More specifically, Princess Jin really has Zhu Gui's purpose, so she and the prince have the value of being used.
And no matter how the prince says, he also has royal blood, as long as Zhu Gui doesn't want to rebel, he will take into account the identity of the prince, and he will not hurt their mother and son at any time, and this is enough for Princess Jin.
In this way, the two sides talked about some specific details.
But soon Zhu Gui was 'kicked out', and only Xu Miaoqing and Princess Jin were left in the room talking.
And this is also the reason why Zhu Gui brought Xu Miaoqing, after all, he also wants to avoid suspicion.
And this time, the news of his coming to the Jin Palace, I'm afraid it will still spread sooner or later.
Although the current situation in Taiyuan City is developing towards a good situation, Zhu Gui still has to beware of any person with a heart who may calculate against him.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhu Gui called over a subordinate of the Jin Palace, and asked the other party to take him to the prince.
In history, Zhu Di, the king of Jin, had seven children, but at this time, Zhu Jixi, the eldest son of Zhu Di, was only eight years old, and as for the rest, I am afraid that they are either too young or have not yet been born.
And after Zhu Di's death in history, Zhu Jixi did inherit the throne of King Jin, so Zhu Gui's doing so can be regarded as conforming to the main line of history.
It's just that Zhu Gui doesn't know whether the current history will develop according to the historical records of later generations.
When Zhu Gui saw Zhu Jixi, he was riding on a wooden horse and whipping a subordinate.
It seems that this prince has indeed inherited his character very well.
"Ahem." Zhu Gui deliberately coughed twice to attract the other party's attention.
Zhu Jixi turned his head to look at Zhu Gui: "Who are you?" Why didn't you kneel when you saw this son? ”
The little guy who led the way for Zhu Gui immediately ran over and said to Zhu Jixi: "Shizi, this is the acting king, your father's younger brother, and your imperial uncle." ”
Zhu Jixi jumped off the wooden horse, walked to Zhu Gui and looked up at him.
"You're not much older than me, and you're a vassal king like my father? What are you doing in Taiyuan? Is it for my father's sake? ”
Although Zhu Jixi is only eight years old, he has no stage fright and nervousness in the face of Zhu Gui, and he can talk eloquently, which shows that Zhu Di, the king of Jin, educated him when he was alive.
Zhu Gui said with a smile: "What you said is not bad, this king originally came this time to help you inherit the title of King of Jin, but now it seems that you don't care much." ”
"Just you? Will the imperial grandfather listen to you? Zhu Jixi looked at Zhu Gui with a questioning look on his face.
Although he had never heard of Zhu Gui's 'murderous name' in Nanjing City, he did not believe Zhu Gui's words either.
"Then you want to leave Taiyuan with your mother?"
Zhu Gui became interested in Zhu Jixi and couldn't help but want to tease him.
As soon as he heard that he was leaving Taiyuan, a reluctant look appeared on Zhu Jixi's immature face, and it seemed that he was still quite nostalgic for this place.
"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, say, what benefit do you want by doing this?"
