In the ninth year of Yongle, the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, it should be Tianfu.

Zhu Zhanyan stood in front of the Han Palace, looking at his former home, and was quite emotional.

It took him more than two months to come to Yingtianfu, but the journey was safe, and he didn't have as much trouble as when he went to the domain, and even the magistrates along the way respected him.

After all, after such a long time, Chen Zhisheng's matter has long been spread throughout the official class, and Zhu Zhanyan has made such a move in Jiaozhi, who would dare to provoke him?

As an official, who dares to say that he has no mud on his body?

In the distance, people were looking, but they didn't dare to come.

Since the Han Dynasty went away, this Han Wangfu has almost become a forbidden place, and no one dares to come at will.

First, because Zhu Zhan's name, although it is not very good, it has to be said that it is indeed effective, and now many people are reluctant to pass through the Han Palace.

Second, and most importantly, people do not understand what His Majesty is thinking today.

It stands to reason that after the vassal king became a vassal king, the former palace was either diverted for other purposes, such as changing plaques for other princes and nobles to live in, or tearing down and building other places.

And the Han Palace, has not been appropriated for other purposes, and there have been no new people living in it, Zhu Di seems to have forgotten, and has never mentioned it.

However, for some it is an unsolved mystery, but for others, it is already the answer.

"Why are you standing here?"

I don't know how long it took, but a voice suddenly sounded behind Zhu Zhanyan, which made him sober up from his emotion.

"My grandson has seen the emperor's grandfather." Seeing the person coming, Zhu Zhanyan saluted in a proper manner.

"Why are you standing here?" Zhu Di didn't seem to see Zhu Zhan's salute, nor did he hear Zhu Zhan's voice, but just repeated what he had just said.

"You entered Beijing on behalf of your father, and the vassal king entered Beijing, either entering the palace to pay respects, or going to the Zongren Mansion to register and then stay, why are you here."

Zhu Zhanyan straightened up and walked behind the old man, and then turned around to look at the Han Wangfu that he had been looking at for a long time.

"Originally, I wanted to go in and have a look, but unfortunately, I couldn't get in."

Zhu Di paused, and after a long time, he stretched out his hand and beckoned.

A brocade guard stepped out and quickly opened the door.

Zhu Di took the lead and walked into the Han Palace, which was once a luxury, Zhu Zhanyan hesitated, but still followed the old man in.

The once luxurious Han Wang's Mansion is now in ruins, although it is less than a year, but it has also gone through four seasons, and now the Han Wang's Mansion is full of dead leaves, and the plants in the courtyard that no one takes care of have grown wildly, and there is no longer the appearance of the rules and regulations in the past.

The two grandparents stood in the courtyard, looking at the now dilapidated Han Wangfu, and each had a different taste in their hearts.

Zhu Zhanyan didn't wait for the old man this time, raised his feet and entered the main hall, crossed the back garden, and came to the place where he once lived.

Here, it's not much better than the front yard.

"Let's live in the Zongren Mansion first." I don't know how long it took, Zhu Di suddenly spoke.

"Wait...... I'll go back and have people clean up this place, and two days will be enough. ”

"No need." Zhu Zhanyan lowered his head, and a smile appeared on his face that he didn't know how to interpret it.

"It's just me, it's weird to live."

……

"Zhan Gully ......"

Someone opened his mouth to call him, but it was not Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanyan turned his head and saw his uncle and cousin.

"Zhan Yan has seen my uncle and my cousin." Zhu Zhan Yan saluted in a proper manner.

"That's right, cousin."

After saluting, Zhu Zhanyan stood up and beckoned in the direction of the door.

Soon, Zhu Ling walked over with a small box.

"Cousin, that's what I promised you."

Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, and then lifted the curtain on the box, and then he was stunned.

Three little milk dogs, lying quietly inside.

"It's also a coincidence, after receiving my grandfather's edict, it happened that the family's dog gave birth, and my younger brother picked three of the strongest ones."

"But it's a long way into Beijing, and I can only feed it with goat's milk, and the state is not very good, so it's best for my cousin to find a dog with milk, so it's the best."

"Do you remember ......" Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Zhanji in a daze.

"Of course." Zhu Zhanyan smiled slightly.

"Zhan Yan didn't promise his cousin anything, this is the only thing, and it is naturally going to be done."

After speaking, Zhu Zhanyan bowed slightly and prepared to leave.

The place was deserted, there were too many places to hide people, and he didn't want any accidents to happen because of himself.

As long as he is gone, the rest of the people will also leave.

"Stay!"

Suddenly, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but speak, and shouted to Zhu Zhanji, who wanted to leave.

"Stay, I'll come to you tomorrow, let's take a look at this Yingtian again, and you can also see the changes in this Yingtian after you leave."

"No, it's unlucky." Zhu Zhanyan didn't turn around, but smiled.

"Now, don't you even want to live here?" Zhu Di's voice sounded, making Zhu Gaochi, who was about to speak, swallow back the words that came to his throat.

"Would you rather live in the Zongren Mansion like other vassal kings?"

"Nope." Even if Zhu Di asked, Zhu Zhanyan didn't turn around, but just elaborated quietly, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.

"As early as last year, I killed the former me with my own hands and buried him under the courtyard of the Han Palace."

"His face was full of reluctance, but he was powerless to resist."

"Because he is alone, and I am ...... There is a father, and there is a grandfather to help you. ”

"The current Zhu Zhan Gully is no longer the Zhu Zhan Gully of the past, the former Zhu Zhan Gully has been sleeping here, when my mother sent me to leave to help the household to carry out the cattle breeding."

"Now, there is only Zhu Zhanyan, the son of the Han Dynasty."

After speaking, Zhu Zhanyan turned around and bowed.

"Grandpa, uncle, cousin."

"Zhan Yan is going to the Zongren Mansion, so he will retire first."

……

The cold wind in the wax moon drifted by, and a few leaves could no longer hold on to the branches that once hugged it, and drifted weakly with the wind, slowly falling in this courtyard that no one had visited for nearly a year.

The wind stopped, but the snow slowly fell, and they were just thin enough to fall to the ground, and they turned into a little water stain.

After more than a long time, Zhu Di slowly turned around, without saying a word, and walked towards the gate as if he had lost his mind.

Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but looked at the box he was holding in his arms and swallowed the words back.

Zhu Gaochi sighed softly, patted his son's shoulder, took heavy steps, and kept up with the old man's footsteps.

Zhu Zhanji looked up at the snowflakes falling in the sky, as if to get to the root of it, wanting to know what caused today's scene to happen.

But all this can only be thought of by himself, whether it is a person or a thing, he may not be able to comprehend the answer given to him.

Only, personal experience.
