Chapter 3 My Good Fourth Uncle!
Spring and Palace.
It is located on the east side of the Fengtian Temple of the Forbidden City of Nanjing.
It is the residence of the crown prince and grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, it is also called the "East Palace".
Chunhe Palace covers an extremely wide area, with many palaces and pavilions, like a small palace group.
There are thrones and dragon beds in the central main hall, the beds are all colorful carvings, and plum trees are planted in front of the palace.
To the northernmost side of the palace are four separate triple courtyards, which are the residences of the four emperors and grandchildren.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao had a total of five sons.
The eldest son, Zhu Xiongying, was born to the late crown princess Chang Shi, and was eight years old.
The second son, Zhu Yunwen, is the current crown princess Lu Shisheng, fifteen years old.
The third son, Zhu Yunxi, was born to the late crown princess Chang Shisheng, 14 years old.
the fourth son, Zhu Yunxi (jiān), eight years old;
The fifth son, Zhu Yunxi, is less than a year old and is still breastfeeding.
Xiao 4 and Xiao 5 are both cubs born to the Lu family.
Zhu Yunxi's triple courtyard.
The secluded room is antique, the windows are shaded, and the jade column is vermilion.
In the large open window, there is a pear blossom bookcase.
There are several books of law on the case, and a few inkstones, and there are various colored brushes inserted in the pen holder.
There is a table on both sides, on which are placed porcelain, guqin and other objects.
The furnishings in this room are full of the bookish atmosphere of ancient chic elegance.
Zhu Yunxi crouched in front of the case, writing hard and planning for the future.
On the rice paper, all kinds of messy patterns are drawn.
This is a common relationship diagram used by police in the 21st century.
It marked the crown princess Lu Shi, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di, Chang Sheng, Lan Yu and others with code names.
Through drawing and research, Zhu Yunxi deeply analyzes each person's personality, relationship, and preferences.
Clearly display complex relationship diagrams and gang structures.
In the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people couldn't understand this thing.
At this time, in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, who would know who the person codenamed "Jianwen" was?
Sorting out the relationship between the characters is the work that Zhu Yunxi started on the first day of crossing.
After a few days of inquiry, it has been sorted out.
Combined with what you know about history, it's all very simple.
Zhu Yunxi is a careful, self-disciplined, and cautious person.
He is very demanding of himself, and he has a lot of patience and perseverance.
Since you have the plan to fight for the position of the emperor's grandson, then do it seriously!
To do great things, you have to have a careful plan!
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yunxi divided the battle for position into five steps.
The first step is to redeem his image in the hearts of Zhu Yuanzhang and everyone.
Only by completing the first step can you be qualified to take the position of the emperor's grandson.
Today's performance of "Loud Hall and Great Filial Piety" has a good effect.
But there is still work to be done, and it is difficult to reverse your negative image on that alone.
We have to keep up the good work!
The second step is to cultivate eyeliner in the palace and set up an intelligence network to prevent the persecution of the Lu family.
The Lu family has been the crown princess for ten years, and she has already managed the East Palace to an iron bucket.
As soon as the crown prince Zhu Biao died, she was her person inside and out, how could she fight her?
In today's East Palace, all the eunuchs and palace maids listen to that girl.
Even the eunuchs and palace maids beside Zhu Yunxi are probably all from the Lu family.
Zhu Yunxi is just one person, where is the opponent of their mother and son?
Just being watched 24 hours a day was enough for him to stand it.
This must change as soon as possible!
Zhu Yunxi thought of the Chang family for the first time.
His grandfather was often in spring.
Of course, Lao Chang has been dead for many years, and Zhu Yunxi can only ask his uncle for help and ask them to arrange for some people to come in.
Unfortunately, Uncle Chang Mao ascended to heaven last year.
The second uncle Chang Sheng, the founding prince of the dynasty, is still kowtowing outside the Renzhi Hall today.
and Uncle Lan Yu, all of whom are people that Zhu Yunxi can rely on.
Liangguo Gong Lanyu is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law and uncle, the late princess Chang's maternal uncle.
Therefore, Lan Yu tried his best to maintain the status of the prince Zhu Biao, and naturally supported his niece's son Zhu Yunxi.
"Asking for help from relatives can be done, but not too much."
Zhu Yunxi silently drew a red line in his heart.
There is no need to explain who Lao Zhu is, now that Ah Biao has passed away, Lao Zhu is in a very bad mood, if he tosses too much, it is not beautiful.
Be steady!
As for the third step......
"His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun, His Royal Highness King Yan is here to visit."
There was a shrill voice of a eunuch outside the door, as if he had lost his breath.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the crown prince, the crown prince, the prince, the prince, the prince, and the prince were all called "His Royal Highness".
Zhu Yunxi's identity at this time is not only the emperor's grandson, but also the king of the county.
Yan Wang Zhu Di?
Zhu Yunxi's heart moved, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"My good fourth uncle!"
"My good nephew!"
As soon as he arrived at the door of the study, he was blocked by Zhu Di's strong body.
The uncle and nephew hugged each other, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.
Zhu Di is tall and majestic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a full face, resolute eyes, and a long beard.
There are two more forked whiskers between the two wings, like dragon whiskers.
He has a straight nose and deep and bright eyes, and he has a proper standard beautiful man mold.
At this time, Zhu Di was only thirty-three years old, and he was energetic and in the prime of life.
Walk with the wind.
"Yunxi, the fourth uncle has been guarding Beiping all these years, and he has not had a chance to visit you, are you doing well?"
Zhu Di patted Zhu Yunxi's shoulder and comforted.
Zhu Yunxi didn't answer, but stared at Zhu Laosi's face, and his nose suddenly became sour: "The fourth uncle has been guarding Beiping for more than ten years, and he has been tanned. ”
"Big man, it's better to be dark!"
Zhu Di waved his big hand and smiled: "The fourth uncle just wants to be a black and strong man!" ”
Zhu Yunxi sighed: "Who doesn't want to? ”
As he spoke, he introduced Zhu Di into the study and sat down.
The four eunuch entourages led by Zhu Di stood outside the house and waited.
"Nephew, what about painting?"
Zhu Di saw the relationship chart on the bookcase.
"Hey, what are these?"
He picked up the relationship diagram and looked puzzled: "Nephew, what does this 'Yongle' you mark mean?" ”
"Oh, Yongle is a friend of mine, and he is old in war!" Zhu Yunxi smiled.
Friend?
Zhu Dixin said, you kid still have friends?
After thinking about it, it doesn't matter what kind of pig friends you are, it doesn't matter, it's important to get down to business.
As a vassal king, you can't stay in the East Palace for too long.
"Nephew, if you have any difficulties, just tell the fourth uncle!"
Zhu Di patted his chest and packed the ticket, his eyes were burning, and he seemed to have something to say.
"By the way, Fourth Uncle, it just so happens that my nephew has something to ask you."
"You said."
Zhu Yunxi said: "There is no one to call my nephew, can you leave me two chamberlains?" ”
"It's easy to say!"
Zhu Di's face was overjoyed, and he shouted outside the door: "Ma He, Fang Chang, you two stay and serve His Royal Highness!" ”
"Yes!"
Two eunuchs wearing white three-mountain hats and round-necked robes answered the order.
Horses and?
Could it be that he is Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures who is famous in textbooks?
Zhu Yunxi looked at the eunuch named Ma He.
He was nine feet long, his waist was ten girths, his eyebrows were distinct, and his ears were white.
It's just that the nose is a little small.
At this time, Ma He was only twenty-two years old and had not yet been reused by Zhu Di.
Historically, he made a name for himself in the Battle of Jingjing.
Zhu Di, who was made the emperor because of his merits, was given the surname "Zheng", promoted to the chief eunuch of the internal official and eunuch, and was appointed to go to the West six times as a chief eunuch, completing an unprecedented feat in the history of world navigation in the early 15th century.
The current Ma He is still a small character, but he can follow behind Zhu Di, the king of Yan, with his intelligence and eyesight.
For the old Zhu family in the early Ming Dynasty, the smart eunuch was just easy to use, and he couldn't be regarded as "his own person".
Zhu Di was also generous, and let Ma and the two stay in a word.
He seems to be generous, but in fact he has a heart.
