After letting Zhang Jiu try it, Zhu Zhanyong finished his breakfast and fell into a short deep thought.

His father, Zhu Gaochi, came to Nanjing to be the crown prince, and it stands to reason that no one dared to provoke him easily.

can be the deadliest,

His imperial grandfather Zhu Di didn't like Zhu Gaochi, and the prince who was forced to be established by the hard advice of the ministers, together with Zhu Zhanyong, was not favored.

status in the palace, not to mention.

……

At this moment in the East Palace,

Zhu Gaochi was flipping through the university Yanyi, taking notes in the yellowed book from time to time, coming to Nanjing for a month to be cautious, and even Zhu Gaochu deliberately made him make a fool of himself in front of Zhu Di many times, and he never said anything bad about Zhu Gaochu.

"Your Highness, it's time for lunch?"

"Put it aside first, and eat it after reading this Qin oath... There are many more classics in the capital than in Beiping Mansion. ”

Seeing that the eunuch did not withdraw, Zhu Gaochi realized something and raised his head: "Is there anything else to report?" ”

"His Highness Zhan Yong...... Beat the chief eunuch of Shang Shan Prison. ”

"You said Junki, right?"

"It's Zhan Yong......"

Zhu Gaochi's expression was stunned.

This son is a little cowardly on weekdays, and he doesn't dare to refute other people's words, unlike Zhu Zhanji, who fights crickets all day long, playing with knives and guns, and when he heard that it was Zhan Yong, Zhu Gaochi put down the book a little stunned.

"I'll hear it."

The eunuch cleared his throat, looked left and right, and said, "Shangshan Eunuch Sheng Gonggong lacks the use of His Royal Highness Zhan Yong...... His Royal Highness Zhan Yong came up and gave him a slap in the face. ”

"Have you informed your father?"

"Not yet."

"Don't report it yet, by the way, what has my father been doing lately?"

"It is said that... It is said that the remnants of the north led an army of 140,000 to the south, and His Majesty was reading the recitals of the north every day and discussing countermeasures with the Duke of Qi. ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed lightly and muttered: "At the beginning of the dynasty, Wuxun had a prominent status, and the world was defeated by Wuxun, and the civil officials had almost no credit, and Wuxun supported the second brother, including Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi. ”

Worried about Zhu Zhanyong's matter, Zhu Gaochi pondered slightly, and took out the silver from his arms: "You go, give these ten taels of silver to the big eunuch, and vaguely tell him to shut up, and pass it to his father, the second child is going to make an article again." ”

The eunuch took the silver taels, hurriedly ran to Ouchi, and when he arrived at the duty room where the Shangshan eunuch was sitting, he saw Sheng An, who was preparing to present the imperial meal, and handed the silver taels.

……

In the canopy hall,

Zhu Di sat on the throne, nearly fifty years old, with a heroic appearance, a pair of bright eyes deep and sharp, and his momentum was like Zhu Yuanzhang back then.

He looked at Qiu Fu coldly: "Timur led the army south, claiming to have 200,000 soldiers and horses, but I got the sparse performance, only 140,000, if I don't get rid of them, the north will always be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty." ”

As the first contributor to the martyrdom, Qiu Fu's eyes were bright:

"If Your Majesty wants to march north, the minister will never let the Tatar step into the Ming border pass, and after the minister was named the Duke of Qi, the other generals complained, and the minister ...... I am willing to serve Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Di glanced at Qiu Fu deeply: "I don't want to fight, it's not that I'm afraid of the Yuan people, but I have more far-reaching concerns, Jing Nan has been fighting for four years, and now I send troops to the north, no matter whether I win or lose, the people will not be at peace." ”

"Let's talk about this again!"

The eunuch walked in, and four dishes and one soup were brought out in the brocade box, and Zhu Di's eyes saw the palm on the eunuch's face, and he didn't want to ask.

But Zhu Di treats meritorious people very well.

During the Jing disaster, the eunuchs in the palace passed a lot of news to Zhu Di, so Zhu Di had a special affection for them.

"Who hit it?"

The old eunuch was secretive, lowered his head and did not speak, and only when Zhu Di's sharp eyes looked over did he speak:

"The beef in the dining room is gone, and it can only be used for two taels, and His Royal Highness Zhan Yong rewarded the slave and maid with a slap... It's the slave who can't do things, and I don't blame His Highness. ”

Zhu Di's eyebrows gradually frowned.

I have heard of this fishy dragon Wen's concubine, and like his father, he is submissive, in contrast, Zhu Di likes Zhu Zhanji, who dances with a spear and a sword.

As soon as Zhu Di ascended the throne, he ordered the children of the royal family and the children of meritorious service to enter the Wenlou to listen to the school, and ordered the Great Confucian to teach them.

thought that Zhu Zhanyong was in Beiping Mansion and was spoiled by Zhu Gaochi, so he just took this opportunity to meet him.

"Let Zhan Yong come to see me!"

……

At this moment, Zhu Zhanyong didn't know that his behavior attracted the attention of Zhu Di, who never cared about him.

Zhu Zhanyong had eaten, and saw Zhu Gao walking in with a sad brow.

Zhu Gaochi came in, sat on the half-new sandalwood dinner table, as if talking to himself, and seemed to say to Zhu Zhanyong: "Father should leave you in Beiping, wait for the capital to gain a firm foothold, and then pick you over." ”

"However, you don't have to be afraid, my father gave the eunuch ten taels of silver to seal his mouth......"

Zhu Gaochi was slightly chubby, and his mouth was chattering.

Zhu Zhanyong wanted to open his mouth several times, but found that he couldn't interject, and a warmth welled up in his heart.

Zhu Zhanyong also understands the situation of his plainclothes father, he just came to Nanjing, his foundation is unstable, and he will gain a firm foothold if he does not annoy Zhu Di.

However, eunuchs are more jealous than women, and they will always find ways to get angry.

Sure enough.

"Your Highness Zhan Yong, Your Majesty has summoned you!" The gatekeeper of the Fengtian Temple stood outside the door and poked his head out.

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "For... Go with you for the Father's sake. ”

Zhu Zhan Yong stood up: "If my father goes, the emperor's grandfather will be even more bored, and I can only go to this matter by myself." ”

"Zhan Yong, ......"

Zhu Gao was stunned, as if he didn't know his son.

When Zhu Zhanyong came to the Huagai Palace, he saw Zhu Di eating heavily.

He waited beside him, not daring to speak.

If he is given another chance, he will still fight, the soft persimmon is easy to pinch, and the more obedient he is, the more this group of eunuchs will embarrass him with the king of Han.

What's even more interesting is that

Zhu Zhanyong could feel that Zhu Yuanzhang was staring at Zhu Di at the moment.

I don't know what Lao Zhu thinks?

Zhu Zhanyong was like a child who had made a big mistake, standing next to Zhu Di's dining desk.

The posture is magnificent, with a beautiful beard of just the right length on his face, his eyes are deep and sharp, and he is full of momentum between the left and right looks.

After seeing him, Zhu Di put down the bowl in no hurry, his voice was very light, but it was full of blame: "The imperial food in the palace is better than that of Beiping Mansion?" ”

Because he was not the eldest child, Zhu Di didn't have much impression of this grandson, and after finishing speaking, he looked at him with serious eyes.

Zhu Zhanyong said cautiously:

"Grandpa Huang, you also know that I came to the capital with my father from Beiping Mansion, and it was only a month, and the eunuchs deliberately deducted my use, which was in the face of my father, if I swallowed my anger, which official in the court supported the prince, and how did my father gain a foothold in the capital?"

Zhu Di squinted his eyes, as if he was looking at this descendant again.

Hearing this, I already understood that there were twists and turns, the second child bought the Shang Diet Supervisor, although he didn't like the boss, but the eunuch was involved in this matter, and he didn't like it!

Seeing Emperor Yongle glaring at him, the old eunuch trembled and bowed down: "His Royal Highness the Prince... rewarded the slave and maid with ten taels of silver, and the slave and maid should not have said it. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di's face suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Zhu Zhanyong with an unmoved expression.

"You go back first, don't do anything in the palace in the future!"

When Zhu Zhan Yong walked out of the Huagai Palace, he saw a young man with clear eyes, walking into the hall quickly, Zhu Zhanji's clear eyes blinked a few times: "Sun Chen has seen the emperor's grandfather!" ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanji coming in, the stern coldness in Zhu Di's eyes gradually melted, and his voice was a little softer, and he hummed softly: "Your father asked you to come?" ”

"My father just came to the capital from Beiping, I don't know anything, the emperor's grandfather forgive him this time!" Zhu Zhanji's voice was a little arrogant.

Zhu Di did not take Zhu Zhanyong to heart, and he would be crowned a vassal king in the future.

But Zhu Di likes Zhu Zhanji from the bottom of his heart, and at this moment, when he hears the emperor's grandson's plea, his heart is about to melt.

"Heh, as a prince, but bribing eunuchs, if it goes down in history, it will be a stench for 10,000 years, how can I have such a son!"

"Grandpa."

Hearing this from the imperial grandfather, when Zhu Di turned his head, his serious eyes instantly became soft and kind: "Come here, accompany the imperial grandfather to dine together." ”

Zhu Zhanji's words resolved Zhu Gaochi's embarrassing situation.

Hearing this, I also knew that the emperor and grandfather did not blame their father, and the emperor and grandson sat in the canopy hall, looking happy.

At this moment, outside the hall, Zhu Zhanyong walked down the imperial steps.

"Grandpa Huang, you see, Sun Chen is not favored in the palace, my father's foundation in the capital is unstable, and the eunuch often bullies me and deducts my use."

I thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's angry voice in my mind: "The fourth bastard! Helping outsiders bully our grandson!! ”

Lao Zhu is well-known for protecting his shortcomings.

Once it is determined that it is good for a relative, it is the ultimate pet, anyone who dares to bully half a finger may be executed, in the early years, Zhu Di put his hand on Zhu Yunwen's shoulder, pinched it hard, and was seen by Zhu Yuanzhang standing behind, Zhu Di was scared half to death.

And now, Zhu Zhanyong is the emperor and grandson that Lao Zhu Da recognizes in his heart.

"Good grandson, you wait, let's summon the fourth child into the palace!"

The imperial grandfather is not dead yet, Zhu Zhanyong suddenly had a bad premonition, and hurriedly pleaded: "The imperial grandfather ......"

There was no response, and Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously offline.

Zhu Zhanyong thought about it.

Lao Zhu may not be just because of what happened just now, the imperial grandfather took away the throne, maybe Lao Zhu was holding his breath in his heart.

It's okay to get out of breath.

It's just that Lao Zhu won't kill the emperor's grandfather, right? After all, the imperial grandfather was in the Hongwu Dynasty, as long as he killed Zhu Di, he would be able to safely hand over the throne to Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Zhanyong was inexplicably worried.

Until two hours passed, there was no news of Lao Zhu.

Zhu Zhanyong's mood began to fluctuate.

After another half an hour, Zhu Yuanzhang's tired voice sounded in his mind: "Let's call the fourth child into the palace." ”

Zhu Zhanyong asked tentatively: "Grandpa Huang doesn't want to kill Grandpa Huang, right?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.

What does silence mean, Lao Zhu won't really move this thought?

Zhu Zhan panicked: "If the emperor's grandfather is executed by you, and his grandson is gone, the emperor's grandfather is now not stingy with reliving a life, don't you want to see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the people?" ”

"Let's take off the pants of the fourth child and personally hit the thirty boards, let's just take a look at the prosperous world you said."

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang's cold voice came.

The implication is that he will not kill Zhu Di.

Zhu Zhanyong knew that this was an extremely complicated decision for Lao Zhu, not that his own plea worked, but that Lao Zhu wanted to see another possibility in him.

There are the remaining five silent people.

However, now the first heir to the throne is Zhu Zhanji, who has a humble position in the palace and has just come to Nanjing from Beiping Mansion for a month.

If he can't be the emperor, I wonder if Lao Zhu will kill Zhu Di?

However, what Zhu Zhanyong thought in his heart was that it was better to gain a firm foothold in the capital first.

PS: In the first year of Yongle, Zhu Di changed Beiping Mansion to his current name, but this title is more sensitive and may attract audit attention, so the book is still Beiping Mansion, readers know it, and it would be better if there was a wave of recommended votes
