Chapter 13 Zhu Gaochi, who repeatedly expressed his loyalty
Logically speaking, Zhu Guanwen does not have much opinion on Zhu Di's three sons.
After all, it was Zhu Di who rebelled, and they just went along with the times.
If Zhu Di doesn't rebel and others don't say it, Zhu Gaochi will definitely be full of joy.
This little fat man has lived in Nanjing City since he was a child and likes everything in Nanjing City.
Since he went to Beiping, how unsatisfactory he was, and later Zhu Di succeeded in rebelling and moved the capital to Beiping, which made him even more bitter.
If it weren't for the short reign time, it is estimated that it would not be long before he would have moved the capital back to Nanjing.
Therefore, Zhu Guanwen likes him a lot.
In addition, this little fat man is a political wizard, and even Zhu Yuanzhang praised him.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to leave him to Zhu Yunwen for reuse, but Zhu Yunwen was bent on cutting the domain, where was he willing to use the son of the vassal king.
If it's true, it's time, it's life.
"Cousin, do you want to stay longer in Nanjing this time?"
Looking at Zhu Gaochi who was walking beside him, Zhu Guanwen said coldly: "I want to talk to you more." ”
"Your Majesty is the first time to ascend to the Great Treasure, he must be very busy, how dare the minister disturb more."
Zhu Gaochi turned around and saluted Zhu Guanwen and said politely.
Zhu Guanwen waved his hand and said: "It's all a family, you don't need so much courtesy in private, just call me cousin." ”
"This...."
Zhu Gaochi hesitated, looked at his two younger brothers, and then nodded and shouted to Zhu Guanwen: "Cousin." ”
Zhu Guanwen smiled and bowed slightly, and then continued: "At this banquet, I plan to play a small game with my uncles, and when the time comes, you have to cooperate with my cousin!" ”
"Mini-games? What is the mini-game? ”
Zhu Gaosui is the youngest and has the heaviest playfulness, and when he heard about playing games, he suddenly came to his senses.
I saw him boldly stretch out his hand and pull Zhu Guanwen's sleeve, shouting: "Cousin, take us to play!" ”
"The third brother must not be rude to His Majesty!" Zhu Gaoxu frowned and scolded.
"It's okay!"
Zhu Guanwen smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I asked you to cooperate, so naturally I want to take you to play together." ”
"That ....."
Zhu Gaochi asked cautiously, "How does my cousin plan to let us cooperate?" ”
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just to liven up the atmosphere."
"Just to liven up the atmosphere?"
Zhu Guanwen: "Of course, in addition to enlivening the atmosphere, you also have to stand in line, just like when you participated in the enthronement ceremony before." ”
"......" Zhu Gaochi pursed his lips and nodded: "Brother I understand." ”
In this way, there was no word all the way, and the four of them soon came to the place where the banquet was held.
Because not long after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, it was impossible for the banquet to be fanfare, so a relatively quiet palace was chosen.
Before Zhu Guanwen and the four arrived, eight of the nine feudal kings had already entered the table early.
Originally, they didn't want to participate, but Zhu Guanwen didn't order them to leave Beijing, and they could only stay in Beijing.
Since he couldn't go anywhere, he simply came to this banquet to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the newly enthroned little emperor.
"Fifth brother, all the brothers have come to the capital, but the fourth brother has not come, will there be any situation?"
During the banquet, Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, who was sitting on the left side of Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, was asking Zhu Hu in a whisper.
Zhu Hu is Zhu Di's brother, and he naturally has to ask Zhu Di about Zhu Di's situation.
But when Zhu Hu heard his inquiry, he ignored it, picked up the wine glass and drank it.
Zhu Bai, who had eaten the closed door, was not discouraged, and turned his head to look at Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, behind him: "Seventeenth brother, you are good friends with the fourth brother, do you know his situation?" ”
"Brother Twelve, don't talk nonsense about some things, I treat the fourth brother the same as I treat all the brothers, there is no friendship or disfriendship!"
Ning Wang Zhu Quan corrected Zhu Bai's remarks kindly.
"Yes, the seventeenth brother really treats everyone equally, our fiefdoms are all next to each other, what is going on in Yandi, the seventeenth brother knows it at the first time, but I am the only one in Liaodi, all the eyebrows are burned, and I don't see the seventeenth brother care."
Hearing Zhu Quan's words, Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao, couldn't help but sneer.
Because Liaodi is on the road that Goryeo must pass, and Ningdi happens to be behind Liaodi, it is equivalent to Liaodi making a barrier for Ningdi.
The key is that the strength of Liaodi is not as strong as that of Ningdi.
So Zhu Zhi was angry with Zhu Quan.
Of course, this is just the gap between him and Zhu Quan, in fact, it is Zhu Di who makes him the most unhappy.
When Zhu Di was in Yandi, no matter what happened, the first thing that came to mind was Zhu Quan, and even the relationship with Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, was better than his relationship with Zhu Di.
As if he felt Zhu Zhi's resentment, Zhu Lu smiled and said: "I came to the banquet today, and His Majesty specially invited us, shouldn't our focus be on Your Majesty?" ”
"Yes, yes, why hasn't His Majesty come yet?" Zhu Bai saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and hurriedly agreed.
At this moment, an announcement suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty arrives at ——!"
"See Your Majesty!"
Zhu Hu, as the oldest vassal king other than Zhu Di, took the lead in saluting Zhu Guanwen.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, Holy Bow to all peace!"
Zhu Guanwen glanced at the kings with a smile, and then waved his hand and said, "Uncles are polite, today is a family banquet, there is no need to be polite!" ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Hu, Zhu Quan and others were suddenly shocked, it was the first time they had seen Zhu Yunwen so polite.
Because Zhu Yunwen in the past was respectful of these uncles.
But Zhu Guanwen is not Zhu Yunwen, so he behaved sincerely: "Although this family banquet is a bit abrupt, when the filial piety period is over, the uncles have to stay away from the Jingshi, and I am very reluctant!" ”
What do you mean?
Isn't it rumored that the feudal domain will be cut?
Why do you still let everyone go to the domain?!
The kings were confused, Zhu Gaochi's eyes rolled, and he immediately stood up: "Your Majesty is worried about your uncles, it is also human nature, my father was infected with the plague in Huai'an, Your Majesty was very worried, not only sent the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat, but also took the three of us brothers to Beijing to settle down. ”
"Gao Chi, you said your father was infected with the plague?!"
When Zhu Quan heard Zhu Gaochi's words, he stood up with a shocked face.
Zhu Guanwen glanced at him and did not speak.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi continued: "Uncle Huining, my father is indeed infected with the plague, so he can't go to Beijing to guard filial piety. ”
When the words fell, Zhu Lu hurriedly said again: "Then is your father okay?" ”
"Uncle Gu Wang, don't worry, if Your Majesty sends someone to take care of it, it will be fine!" Zhu Gaochi replied respectfully.
"This...."
When the kings saw that Zhu Gaochi had repeatedly expressed his loyalty, they couldn't help but be full of eccentricity.
You must know that Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di are very suspicious.
Even Zhu Gaochi and his three brothers, Zhu Yunwen didn't have a good face.
But now, Zhu Gaochi actually shows loyalty to Zhu Yunwen again and again, what is the situation?
Could it be that Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen have eliminated their suspicions?
Just when the kings were puzzled, Zhu Zhi suddenly bowed his hand to Zhu Guanwen and said: "Your Majesty cares about the ministers, and the ministers are naturally grateful, but the ministers have a reluctant request, and I hope Your Majesty will agree!" ”
"Today is a family banquet, if you have anything to say, just say it, you don't need to see it." Zhu Guanwen smiled slightly.
Although he didn't know Zhu Zhi, it didn't prevent him from wanting to hear the thoughts of these vassal kings.
But I saw Zhu Zhi pitifully and said: "Your Majesty, the cold wind in Liaodi is bitter, the heart is piercing, and it is long and difficult to rest, the minister really doesn't want to stay in Liaodi, I implore Your Majesty to change a fief for the minister...."
Zhu Guanwen: "......"
It turns out that this guy is Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao?
That poor unlucky guy of the Ming Dynasty!
