Chapter 5: The Han King's City

……

Walking out of the imperial study, Zhu Gaoxian saw King Han waiting in front of the door.

Without waiting for Zhu Gaoxian to speak, King Han stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fourth, this is the second brother who is sorry for you and gave you a pit, and my brother owes you a favor." ”

Zhu Gaoxian is far away from the government and has no quarrel with the world, and is like a transparent prince in Jinling City. And if it weren't for King Han forcibly pulling him to the palace this time, he wouldn't have been scolded inexplicably by the old man.

It's just that Zhu Gaoxian always feels that the old man doesn't seem to be making a nameless fire this time as before, but has other plans.

It's just that the old man's mind is too deep, and Zhu Gaoxian can only see some clues, and he can't guess the old man's true thoughts at all.

That's not a bad thing, though.

At present, the old man should be pondering the matter of Zhu Gaoxian's domain, as long as he can become a domain, he can stay away from the government and live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.

"What kind of people are not humane, we are brothers, brothers don't talk about two families, second brother, aren't you outside." Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "I am not favored by the prince, and the emperor can scold me twice, that is Long En." ”

King Han wanted to speak and stopped, but there were ripples in his heart.

His fourth brother is already pitiful, as a prince, he was disgusted by the old man just because of his indifferent personality, and he is called an idle prince if it is good, and he is a prince of the cold palace if it is ugly.

People are miserable enough, and he Han Wang is still idle and has nothing to do to find trouble to pit the fourth child once. If the fourth child complains, it's okay, but the key is that the fourth child still did nothing and didn't happen, and he bore all the burdens alone.

This made the guilt in King Han's heart soar.

What a damn thing!

"Fourth, don't say anything, it's the second brother who is sorry for you." The guilty King of Han pulled Zhu Gaoxian and said, "Let's go, go to my house to drink, today our brothers will be drunk and rest!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian looked confused: Did the second child forget to take medicine when he went out today, why did he start to have convulsions like the old man?

……

East Palace

The round prince was happily eating snacks, and the imperial grandson Zhu Zhanji said helplessly next to him: "Dad, the imperial doctor said that your body is seriously blessed, and you should eat less of these sweets." ”

"Hey, the boy is still disciplining your father." The prince muttered, "I see you've been a little floaty lately." ”

"What are you floating, your old man has a wide heart, and after being scolded by the emperor, you can still eat snacks in the courtyard, let me do all the things I worry about." Zhu Zhanji came over and said jokingly, "Just this morning, the second uncle and the fourth uncle went into the palace to face the saint, no one knows what the emperor and my two uncles said, only that the fourth uncle went to the second uncle's palace to drink after leaving the palace." ”

The prince suddenly paused as he ate the pastry.

Sensing the prince's movements, Zhu Zhanji was a little puzzled: "Dad, did I say something wrong?" ”

"It's not unusual for the second child to run to fan the flames, he lacks virtue in the five elements."

The prince frowned slightly, "But what did the fourth child do, his character has always been non-causal." What's more, the fourth child will be a feudal lord next year, and with what I know about him, he should be more cautious at this time. ”

Zhu Zhanji asked tentatively: "What do you mean...... Fourth Uncle has a problem? ”

"Not necessarily, maybe I'm overthinking it." Zhu Gaochi put down the pastry and said unhurriedly, "It's wrong to think too much, maybe people are just an unintentional move, but we are so suspicious that we think people are going to rebel." ”

Hearing the word "rebellion", Zhu Zhanji's face changed greatly, he looked around vigilantly, and said complainingly: "Dad, can you talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”

Zhu Gaochi chuckled and said: "Silly boy, we are a rebellion of the whole family, even if we don't say it, can the old man let down his vigilance against us?" ”

"From the moment he rode into the palace in the fourth year of Jianwen, we were not a family, we were enemies."

……

Han Wangfu

"Fourth, let me tell you, the boss is really not a fucking thing!"

King Han was slightly drunk, shook his head and said, "Back then, we fought from Shuntianfu to Jinling City, he became the prince, and several of us were crowned kings, but this prince deserves to be aggrieved!" Let's just take you, does the boss really treat you as a brother, has he been to your Qi Wangfu once for so many years! It's only a few steps from the East Palace to King Qi's Mansion! ”

"I'm still thinking of brotherly affection, and I'm looking for you to drink every once in a while. After the boss became the prince, I'm afraid he has long forgotten that we are still brothers! ”

Zhu Gaoxian took a sip of wine and smiled without saying a word.

The eldest Zhu Gaochi has two identities: one is the eldest brother of the four brothers, and the other is the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

From the position of the eldest brother, the prince does not want to involve Zhu Gaoxian in the turmoil of party disputes. Although the old man didn't like Zhu Gaoxian, this did not affect his status as a vassal king. Zhu Gaoxian will be a vassal next year, and the emperor will be far away after the vassal, and he will be carefree as an idle prince, for the crown prince, this is the best ending for Zhu Gaoxian.

From the position of the prince, if Zhu Gaoxian participates in the battle for the throne, it will be another enemy for the prince. Because he is the crown prince, the worst enemy of all those who want to fight for the throne.

Over the years, the prince's indifference to Zhu Gaoxian is actually another kind of protection.

His protection method is very simple: push Zhu Gaoxian out of the cannibalistic whirlpool of Jinling City, and it is best not to be involved for the rest of his life.

"Fourth, the second brother told you, I treat you as my own brother, don't say anything else, if anyone dares to bully you, the second brother, I have to peel off his skin!" King Han said drunkenly.

"Second brother, you're getting drunk."

Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile: "In Daming, what madman dares to be disrespectful to our Zhu family? ”

"If you are not afraid of outsiders, you are afraid of ...... Own family ......"

Han Wang's voice became quieter and quieter, and finally he lay on the table and snore.

Zhu Gaoxian shook his head, this Han prince didn't know whether he was really stupid or fake.

Can these words be said nonsense?

He shouted to the subordinates outside: "Come on, help your Han prince to rest on the couch!" ”

……

The maids and eunuchs helped the drunk Han King to the bed, tired and sweating.

Princess Han came over with the sobering soup, and when she saw King Han with such a demeanor, she couldn't help but shake her head: "This sobering soup is boiled in vain, the prince is drunk like this, how can he drink it." ”

She waved her hand to the people: "Let's all go down, I'll serve the prince." ”

……

After everyone walked out, King Han, who was snoring on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes, and there was not the slightest drunkenness in his sharp eyes.

Princess Han was stunned: "Lord, aren't you drunk?" ”

"This king started drinking at the age of six, and he never lost in the barracks when he was martyred, and he wanted to get me drunk even if he drank like this?"

King Han sat up and said coldly, "What I said to King Qi at the wine table just now can only be drunken words, do you really regard this king as a fool who drinks a lot of wine every day?" ”
