"Minister, Zhu Gaochi, see Your Majesty!"

Zhu Gaochi dragged his fat body, slowly walked into the Wuying Palace, and saluted Zhu Guanwen.

Zhu Guanwen looked at him and smiled, and said, "Gao Chi, is there anything wrong with coming to me so late?" ”

"Didn't Your Majesty ask your ministers to come to you?" Zhu Gao asked honestly.

"Oh? You said I asked you to come? Zhu Guanwen pretended to be surprised and said, "But why don't I remember?" ”

"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, naturally there are some things I don't remember, but the minister doesn't dare to talk nonsense, it is indeed His Majesty who asked the minister to come."

Zhu Gaochi said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, do you remember that after the banquet, Your Majesty made arrangements for our three brothers to stay in Beijing?" ”

"Hmm..... That's the thing. ”

"During this period, His Majesty arranged positions for Gao Xu and Gao Sui, but there was no arrangement for the ministers!"

"And then?"

"Then before His Majesty left, he patted the minister on the shoulder three times, and the minister dared to guess that His Majesty asked the minister to come to you for the third watch!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Guanwen suddenly laughed loudly; "Gao Chi is really smart, and he deserves to be the leader of the next generation of my Zhu family!"

"Don't dare!" Zhu Gaochi hurriedly bowed his hand: "With Your Majesty here, the minister should not be the word 'leader'!" ”

"Okay, don't be modest!"

Zhu Guanwen smiled and waved his hand, and then motioned to Zhu Gaochi: "Come, sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”

Zhu Gaochi looked at the steaming tea on the table, and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "It seems that Your Majesty already knew that the minister would come." ”

"Just hoping you came, not sure you'll."

Zhu Guanwen said, took a sip of the teacup, and sighed with emotion: "But I am very pleased that you can come." ”

"That'...... Your Majesty asked the ministers to come to you, did you have other arrangements for the ministers? Zhu Gaochi asked knowingly.

"Sort of, but not quite." Zhu Guanwen said vaguely.

Zhu Gaochi: "......."

Zhu Guanwen: "......."

The two looked at each other, but they were silent.

After a while, Zhu Guanwen put down the teacup and asked in a deep voice: "Gao Chi, do you know that Uncle Yan Wang has returned to Beiping?" ”

Zhu Gaochi's heart was shocked, but he asked with a puzzled face: "Isn't my father infected with the plague?" How will you go back to Beiping? ”

"You don't know as a son, how can I know?"

"But..... Chan really doesn't know anything! ”

"It doesn't matter if I don't know, I also listened to Cao Guogong's report!" Zhu Guanwen said faintly: "Originally, I heard that Uncle Yan Wang was infected with the plague and wanted Cao Guogong to bring the imperial doctor to treat him, but I never thought that Uncle Yan Wang would actually return to Beiping!" ”

"You say, what is Uncle Yan going to do?"

"Uh....."

Zhu Gao was speechless, and cold sweat came out of his forehead.

He was becoming more and more unable to understand his father.

Knowing that his three sons were 'hostages' in Beijing, he still did such a dangerous thing.

Isn't this pushing the three sons into the fire pit?

Is it biological?

Despite the indignation in his heart, Zhu Gaochi quickly adjusted his mentality and said tentatively to Zhu Guanwen: "That.... What does Your Majesty plan to do with our three brothers? ”

"Disposition?"

Zhu Guanwen said with some amusement: "Why do I want to deal with your three brothers? ”

Zhu Gaochi replied sincerely: "My father left Huai'an alone without following His Majesty's edict, which is really a great crime of disrespect, and we should be implicated!" ”

When Zhu Guanwen heard this, he looked at Zhu Gaochi deeply, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Gao Chi understands righteousness, and I am very pleased, but the matter is not as serious as you think!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Guanwen suspiciously.

But I heard Zhu Guanwen laugh and said: "Uncle Yan Wang is the king of a domain, he has the heavy responsibility of guarding the border, and he is suffering from illness, if it weren't for the border emergency, I wouldn't have made such a bold move, so I understand and don't blame him!" ”

"This...."

Zhu Gaochi didn't expect that Zhu Guanwen would take the initiative to find his father under the steps, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted again, and bowed down to Zhu Guanwen and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, why are you kneeling, get up quickly, I still have something to explain to you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

Zhu Gaochi raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and struggled to get up from the ground.

Seeing this, the corners of Zhu Guanwen's mouth rose slightly, fleetingly, and then continued: "Gao Chi, I asked you to come late at night, and there are indeed other arrangements, I don't know if you are willing to go to the household department to work?" ”

"Tobe?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, and said with some puzzlement: "The minister is not proficient in the affairs of the household department, why did Your Majesty arrange it like this?" ”

"If you don't know how to do it, you can learn!" Zhu Guanwen said with a smile: "The household department is in charge of all financial affairs in the country, and it is the important weapon of the country. ”

"In the past, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, claimed that it was enough to command 100,000 troops. However, he knows people well and is good at his duties, so as to achieve Xiao He and Cao Shen's famous ministers, although I am not as good as Liu Bang, I also hope that you will be used by the country. ”

"But..." Zhu Gaochi looked embarrassed.

Zhu Guanwen frowned and said, "What, Gao Chi is unwilling to help me?" ”

He asked Zhu Gaochi to go to the household department for two reasons.

One is to lock up Zhu Gaochi, and the other is to value Zhu Gaochi's overall planning ability.

If it weren't for Zhu Gaochi guarding Beiping and providing Zhu Di with a stable supply of grain and grass, Zhu Di would not have won the war and seized the throne so easily.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi must stay under his nose.

Otherwise, if Zhu Gaochi is left alone, he will suffer a big loss.

Zhu Gaochi saw that Zhu Guanwen had made up his mind, and he didn't struggle uselessly: "Minister, I am willing to listen to Your Majesty's arrangement!" ”

"That's great!"

Zhu Guanwen nodded with satisfaction, then looked out the window, and said, "It's late at night, let's go back and rest first!" ”

"The minister retired."

Zhu Gaochi saluted Zhu Guanwen and was about to leave the Wuying Palace.

Suddenly, Zhu Guanwen said coldly: "Gao Chi, you said that with such a good mountain and river, will anyone want to rebel?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Gaochi paused, his heart was frightened, and after a little hesitation, he turned his head suspiciously and looked at Zhu Guanwen.

I saw Zhu Guanwen sitting on the dragon chair, looking at himself with burning eyes.

"What do you mean by that, Your Majesty?" Zhu Gaochi asked cautiously.

Zhu Guanwen sighed: "It's not interesting, it's just that the imperial grandfather left this great mountain and river, I am afraid that I will not be able to govern it well, and I will let down the people of the world and the imperial grandfather!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and I think I will not live up to the expectations of the imperial grandfather."

"Huh."

Zhu Guanwen smiled noncommittally, then waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”

"Yes."

Zhu Gaochi nodded respectfully, then dragged his fat body and slowly left the hall.

If you look closely, it is easy to see that his fat body is faintly trembling.

The horror of being targeted by jackals was something he had experienced when he was a child in the suburbs of Beiping.

And this time, it was actually in the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

After seeing Zhu Gaochi leave, Zhu Guanwen's face sank instantly, and he snorted coldly: "I can run away from the monk, but I can't run away from the temple, do you think that when I go back to Beiping, I can't do anything about you?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Mingyue outside the window, and said with a blurred eye: "If you don't die, I won't be able to sleep and eat!" ”
