Chapter 204: Does the Second Uncle Want to Be a Prince Too?
"Gao Xu, you said, as long as your father has it, he can give it to you." Zhu Di said generously.
Zhu Gaoxu was willing to leave, and wanted to make a few requests, but of course he was willing to cooperate.
"Erchen wants to get more land and silver, so many brothers have worked hard with Erchen for several years, and they can't be treated badly."
"I'll give you 10,000 hectares of land, 70,000 stones a year, 40,000 yuan in banknotes, Jinluo and so onββ"
Zhu Di seems to be very generous, giving Zhu Gaochu one million mu of land at one time, and according to the treatment of Prince Ming, 50,000 stone per year and 25,000 yuan in banknotes, Zhu Di has increased, which can be regarded as making up for Zhu Gaoxu's long journey, after all, he also knows in his heart that he is a little sorry for the second child.
But then again, will there be so much fertile land in Yunnan? When Zhu Gaoxu arrived, he didn't know that he had to rely on his own tuntian, which was really shameless Zhu Di.
"Erchen doesn't want King Min to be in Yunnan." Zhu Gaoxu said again.
Yunnan was originally King Min, was abolished when Jianwen was established, and returned to Yunnan after Yongle.
Zhu Di really agreed: "King Min's property is now all under your belt." "Directly seal King Min elsewhere.
"General Li Yuan, I don't want to stay in Fujian and Guangdong." Zhu Gaoxu said deliberately at this time.
"I can't promise you this." Zhu Di's face was as usual: "Just now, Liu Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has already reported to me and decided where Li Yuan goes, I am now the emperor, and I can't change the order overnight, Gao Xu, you just tell me earlier." β
Zhu Gaoxu's face was ugly, but he immediately said: "The vassal general Li Xian, the retainer wants to take it away." β
Zhu Di originally wanted to deny it, but looking at his son's ugly face and thinking that he had just denied Li Yuan, he hesitated and had to say, "Okay, this is allowed." β
So the father and son bargained, Zhu Gaoxu asked for some benefits for himself, and also compromised Zhu Di's willingness to let him go to Yunnan.
Afterwards, Zhu Di mentioned Zhu Yunwen again, and asked Zhu Gaoxu to go to Yunnan to investigate, the implication is that if Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts can be found, it will be a great achievement, and when the time comes, no one will dare to say no to the change of prince.
He is still painting flatbread for Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect to be made the crown prince anyway, Zhu Di fooled him again and again, which made him extremely disgusted, and he was also in a hurry to leave Beijing, and happily agreed to go to Yunnan to become a vassal.
But the two discussed this matter privately, and did not immediately divide it, Zhu Di planned to wait for the first year of Yongle next year to do this matter.
During this period, Qiu Fu and Wang Ning, the concubine, wrote many times, requesting that Zhu Gaochu be appointed as the crown prince, and many military generals during the Jing Dynasty, such as Li Bin, Xu Zhong, Tang Yuan, Chen Xu, Zheng Heng, Fang Kuan, Li Jun, Chen Yan, Chen Heng, Fang Sheng, etc., all expressed their support for Zhu Gaoxu.
But the support of so many generals made Zhu Di even more determined to let Zhu Gaoxu leave Beijing.
The henchmen of the former Yan Wangfu led by Jin Zhong, Yuan Hui, and Zhang Wu of the Ministry of Industry strongly opposed it.
Jin Zhong also went through the police affairs of Gu Yan, and said that it was in line with the righteousness of Zhu Gaochi.
In history, Zhu Di also asked Xie Jin, Huang Huai and others, but he didn't ask them, because he had already decided to make Zhu Gaochi the crown prince in his heart.
During the Spring Festival of the 35th year of Hongwu, Zhu Gaoxu went to the palace in advance to pay New Year's greetings to his mother, Queen Xu.
After Empress Xu entered the palace, she lived in Kunning Palace, and Zhu Gaoxu entered from Jinghe Gate, and first passed through Dongnuan Pavilion.
After passing through the Dongnuan Pavilion, you can see the gate of Kunning Palace, there seem to be more people coming today, and there are several eunuchs and palace maids guarding the door.
I saw Duan Lanxin standing outside the door.
Duan Lanxin has been promoted to a female official and has quite a temperament.
Seeing Zhu Gaochu arrive, several eunuchs and palace maids knelt down and bowed, and Zhu Gaochu also nodded kindly.
Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself, there are already several people in the palace, Duan Lanxin, Wang Yan, Li Shi and Yishuha can also be counted as half, but if there is no action for a long time, these people may all be abolished in the future.
The time he gave himself was three years, and there must be action within three years, if it exceeds three years, the longer the time, the more stable Zhu Di's position will be, and it is estimated that it will be useless to do anything at that time.
Just as he walked into the gate of Kunning Palace, a few voices suddenly came from in front of him: "Your Highness, don't run." β
Then I saw a very cute boy with a tiger head and a tiger brain running out laughing, chasing a few eunuchs and palace maids behind.
The child, who was only about four or five years old, was laughing and running, but he stepped on something, plopped, and suddenly fell headlong into the grass.
Several eunuchs and palace maids in the back were frightened, and hurriedly ran over to pick him up.
They also saw Zhu Gaoxu, and someone recognized him, and immediately knelt down to meet the king of Gaoyang County.
The faces of the people were terrified, and they were very afraid.
That child was none other than Zhu Zhanji, the son of the prince.
After the little Zhu Zhanji was picked up, he didn't cry like other children, but smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to be afraid, I won't tell my father." β
Zhu Zhanji speaks in a milky voice, but he looks serious, like a little adult, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but be happy when he saw it, he was simply the second in the world, and he could act at a young age.
But when he saw Zhu Zhanji, he said to Zhu Gaoxu at this time: "Zhanji meets the second uncle, and the second uncle has a good New Year." β
Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself, he was quite polite, and he was about to reply.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanji said again: "Does the second uncle also want to be the prince?" β
brushed, and the faces of the palace maids and eunuchs around them changed drastically, and their expressions became even more frightened.
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned on the spot, and his face slowly turned red.
"Junki." At this moment, someone shouted in the distance, but it was the princess Zhang.
Seeing Zhang's family, Zhu Zhanji immediately became a child again, he stuck out his tongue at Zhu Gaoxu, his expression was cute, and he turned around and ran towards Zhang's: "Mother." β
That appearance is exactly the same as when the prince called Queen Xu's mother.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji was obviously quite cute, but Zhu Gaoxu thought that his whole family was killed by this little bastard in history, and his eight sons were killed together, so he was so angry that he really wanted to kick him to death.
"Gao Xu is here, come into the hall, it's cold outside." The Zhang family is the same, seeing Zhu Gaoxu polite and polite, it is like a relative.
Zhu Gaoxu called his sister-in-law, and after entering the hall, he found that there were quite a lot of people inside.
The emperor's other concubine, Li, is also there, and Zhu Di will also have two concubines, Empress Xu and Li, and the third concubine, Zhaoxian Guifei Wang, will not enter the palace until next year, that is, in the early years of Yongle.
Zhang Fu's younger sister was the fourth concubine.
So Nuoda's harem is actually quite deserted, and there are usually no people.
But today it was overcrowded, and the prince had not yet arrived, and the princess came with her children.
The Li family is also there, Xu Miaojin is also there, Zhu Gaoxu arrived for a while, the eldest brother Shizi and the third brother Zhu Gaosui also came, and there were a few little girls at the scene.
Later, Zhu Gaoxu learned that Zhang Fu's sister, two daughters were there, and a little lady was He Fu's niece.
Queen Xu called the three of them to let them meet these little ladies.
Among them, He Fu's niece should be introduced to Zhu Gaosui as a concubine.
There were many people at the scene, and Zhu Gaoxu couldn't interject, and after meeting Queen Xu, he went to meet the titular concubine of the Li family.
"Gao Xu, no courtesy, Happy New Year." Li smiled slightly, reached out and took a red envelope, and handed it to the juniors.
This will Zhu Gaochu with his back to everyone, he is tall, Li is also bold, his fingers gently swept over Zhu Gaoxu's hand, Zhu Gaochu obviously felt her warm little hand, and couldn't help but think of the scene of the two holding hands in the Li Mansion to dance the Vulcan Dance that day.
Ni Niang's, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but be secretly refreshed.
After that, Zhu Gaoxu chatted with his son Zhu Gaosui, occasionally looking at Xu Miaojin and occasionally at Li, but they were all at the touch of a button.
Just as the three Zhu Gaoxu brothers were chatting, the two little ladies in the crowd were also looking at them.
Zhang Fu's two daughters, Zhang Yan and Zhang Wu, are here today.
The two have been informed by their father that one is going to marry Zhu Gaoxu and the other is going to marry Shizi.
Originally, Zhang Fu wanted to marry Zhang Yan to the prince, but Zhang Yan strongly asked her to marry first.
He also looked forward to seeing the picture of the son of the world many times, but he didn't expect to suddenly see the son of the world today, and he was almost out of the sky.
Someone told her that the world was fatter before, but she didn't care, and she didn't expect that there were still people in the Ming Dynasty who could be so fat.
Isn't this fat, this, this, Zhang Wu can't describe the appearance of the son, the son has to sit at any time, even if she sits there, she will pant heavily, she looked at the son in amazement, and then looked at Zhu Gaoxu.
Zhu Gaoxu is not as rude and rude as the legend, but after coming in, no matter what he says or does, he is polite, like a gentleman who is as gentle as jade, although he is tall, he is not as upright as the prince, his face is very upright, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is full of energy.
This is not better, but in this comparison, Zhang Wu is almost dizzy.
It was warm in the hall, with fireplaces all around, but her body was shivering as if it was in the cold outside.
But at this moment, my sister Zhang Yan whispered: "Auntie, which one is the king of Gaoyang County." β
Zhang Fu's sister Zhang said with a smile: "It's the king of Gaoyang County, how about it?" β
Zhang Yan's face blushed, thinking, it's not bad, it is rumored that he is rude and rude, it is not like.
Zhang Wu's face was even more ugly, and endless regret welled up in her heart, although there was another voice in her heart shouting, the prince is the prince, the prince is the prince, and she will be the princess in the future.
However, the crown prince already has a concubine and Zhu Zhanji, no matter what Zhang Wu thinks, she will give birth to a son in the future, and she has no hope of becoming an emperor.
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it, and now she hated to pull Zhang Yan aside, and begged her sister to give Zhu Gaoxu to herself.
Of course, Zhu Gaoxu also knew that he was going to marry Zhang Yan, and today he finally saw Zhang Yan, who looked good, and seemed to be more beautiful than Huang Ying.
But in his heart, he will never forget Huang Ying, Zhang Yan is as good as a thousand times, and it is not as good as Huang Ying to save his life.
He thought about it, and stepped forward politely.
The three women of the Zhang family on the opposite side saw Zhu Gaoxu coming, and all three of them were a little nervous.
"Meet the King of Gaoyang."
Zhu Gaoxu also said hello one by one, then looked at the two girls and said with a smile: "Don't say it, let me guess which one is Zhang Yan?" β
Flutter, Zhang and Zhang Yan both laughed, Zhang Yan's expression was as uncomfortable as if she had eaten, no one expected Zhu Gaoxu to be so interesting.
