Chapter 203: Zhu Di: We're all crazy!
Tang Cheng looked at the mansion in front of him, and hung a plaque "Ganwang Mansion", which was originally the mansion of the general of the Liangguo Gong of the Hongwu Dynasty, which was extremely luxurious, and even in some places it can be said to be overstepping, the general of the blue jade back then can be said to be the most lawless person in Jinling City, but unfortunately he died quite miserably.
After Zhu Gaochi was cut to the position of prince, he could no longer live in the East Palace according to the etiquette system, so the emperor gave Zhu Gaochi's mansion to Zhu Gaochi as the palace of the king of Gan.
Tang Cheng pushed open the heavy main door, and the dust rolled up in his face came to his face, which shows how long this Gan Wangfu has been visited by no one now, it is clear that midsummer May is the scorching season, but this Gan Wang's Mansion reveals the cold chill of the bone marrow.
Tang Cheng couldn't help but sigh, how similar the two owners of this mansion are, the scenery in the first half of his life was infinitely good, and the second half of his birthday fell under the West Mountain, as if it was a matter of an instant, and the high-ranking prince was pulled off the horse, making people wonder if this was true.
It's just that Zhu Gaochi is luckier than Lan Yu, he just lost power, and Lan Yu lost his life.
To be alive is already the greatest good thing in the world.
Tang Cheng coughed lightly and said in a loud voice: "In the mouth of the Long Live Lord, it is rumored that the King of Gan and the Prince of Gan will meet you!" ”
There was no one in the courtyard to respond, and it was as silent as a yellow spring.
However, Tang Cheng was not in a hurry, and patiently stood in place and waited.
After a long time, a white figure like a ghost slowly walked over, it turned out to be the grandson of the emperor who was proud of his might in the past, to be precise, the prince of Gan.
He wore a thin plain gown, bare his chest, let his long black hair fall around his waist, his figure was thin, his face was pale, and the lines of bones were exposed under his skin, sickly and gloomy.
"No one has walked in this door for half a year, so I thought I heard it wrong."
Zhu Zhanji's voice was hoarse and low, "It turned out to be Tang Gong, I don't know what happened when I came to visit?" ”
Tang Cheng bowed slightly and said, "In the mouth of the Long Live Lord, it is rumored that the prince of Gan and the prince will enter the palace to meet him." ”
Zhu Zhanji paused when he heard this, and waved his hand weakly: "I know, my father is sleeping, his health has been getting worse and worse recently, I'm afraid he will have to delay for a while, if Tang Gong doesn't dislike it, just wait a little longer." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhanji turned around and left, without saying a word.
Under the depressed figure, there is a bitter loneliness.
Is he miserable?
Not.
The identity of the prince of Gan can make him worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life, not only that, but his children and grandchildren are all vassal kings, enjoying the status of being enshrined in the world second only to the emperor.
How many homeless people in this world are not worse than him?
However, for Zhu Zhanji, the most painful thing for him is to be dragged back to hell and deprived of his power, which is the most painful ordeal in the world for an ambitious person.
If he had nothing all the time, then he would not be in pain.
……
"Ahem."
Zhu Zhanji supported Zhu Gaochi and slowly walked into the Wenhua Palace, coughing all the way, which shows how weak the body of this Gan prince is now.
The will that was uploaded earlier, but when the father and son stepped into the Wenhua Palace, a dim waning moon was already hanging on the starry night.
Zhu Gaochi leaned over and kowtowed: "Son-in-law Zhu Gaochi, I am ordered to meet you, cough cough...... Ahem......"
"No courtesy."
Zhu Di walked over and helped Zhu Gaochi up.
He is an old man with a burly figure and a strong physique, but as a son, Zhu Chupang is already terminally ill, panting, and sweating profusely after taking two steps.
"Erchen, Erchen is late, I hope my father will forgive me, cough cough."
Zhu Gaochi wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and pleaded guilty while coughing.
"It's okay, you and my father and son, how can I forgive the word sin." Zhu Di beckoned to Tang Cheng, "Why don't you move and sit down and let my son sit down and rest?" ”
Tang Cheng hurriedly brought a stool, and after Zhu Gaochi sat down, his breathing was much calmer.
Zhu Di's face was kind, and he greeted him with a smile, and his face was honest.
Zhu Zhanji stood silently on the side, as if no one saw him.
After being polite for a long time, Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and asked: "Your Majesty came to me, presumably there must be something important to discuss, please say it directly." ”
Zhu Di paused for a moment and said slowly: "Two days ago, a letter came from Jiangxi saying that your palace in Ganzhou has been repaired and there is nothing wrong, so I will inform you." ”
When he said this, he was actually ordering Zhu Gao to hurry up.
Jiangxi's Ganwang Mansion has been repaired, you still don't want to be a domain, what's the matter, do you want to retire in the capital?
Once he left the capital, he probably never had a chance to come back, and the last little hope he had was gone.
Zhu Gaochi's face was calm, and he was not moved in the slightest: "Erchen understands, thank you for reminding my father, I don't have anything to pack up in Beijing, and I can leave the capital and go to Jiangxi in the next two days." ”
The Zhu family is all crazy, starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor who stepped on the throne with white bones, although Emperor Jianwen has a benevolent reputation, his hands are stained with the blood of his uncle. Not to mention the Yongle Dynasty, first Zhu Di, an old killer, and then Zhu Gaoxian, a little madman, perfectly inherited the bloodthirsty nature of the Zhu family.
Only, Zhu Gaochi is an exception.
Even Zhu Gaoxian, who was hostile to Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, had to admit that this Zhu Chupang was really a benevolent and honest man.
An honest man does not mean that he is a fool, on the contrary, under the honest appearance, there is a perfect skill of power and strategy, and he has not shown his edge.
Faced with a situation that can force ordinary people to collapse, Zhu Gaochi can still get through it calmly.
Even if he failed, he did not show decadence.
He accepts defeat, accepts that his opponent is stronger than himself, and accepts the loneliness after defeat.
In his heart, even if the emperor Zhu Di is ruthless to him, he is also a kind father, even if the king of Qi Zhu Gaoxian is fierce to him, he is also a lovely younger brother, even if the king of Han Zhu Gaoxu repeatedly embarrass him, he is also a simple brother, although the eldest son Zhu Zhanji often messes around, but he is also a filial son.
He is willing to tolerate everyone, even if some of these people are his enemies, and some of them have caused him to lose everything, but in his eyes, these people are relatives who are connected by blood.
No matter how bloody they fight, in the end, it's still a family.
What hurdles can a family not overcome?
What about Ganzhou, Ganzhou, Songcheng, Jiangnan, has a mild climate and is a good place to recuperate.
However, some people don't think so.
"No way!"
Zhu Zhanji suddenly roared, startling the two.
"Junki, how can you be so rude in front of your grandfather?" Zhu Gaochi reprimanded.
And Zhu Zhanji seemed to be unable to hear what his father said, his eyes were blood-red, and he glared at Zhu Di angrily: "Grandpa, my father can't go to Ganzhou, never!" ”
Zhu Di's face was calm: "Why can't you, you can give a reason." ”
Zhu Zhanji asked: "When you asked my father to be the prince, if you didn't want to pass on the position to him, why did you let him be the prince?" ”
"Now you have made him a prince for more than ten years, and his body is sick from boiling out of oil, and now you are going to drive us to Ganzhou. From beginning to end, have you ever regarded our father and son as a family! ”
The strings in Zhu Di's heart couldn't be tightened, and he scolded angrily: "I beat this world down, it's me!" It's not you, you don't have the qualifications to say this kind of thing! ”
Zhu Gaochi didn't know what kind of wind his son was smoking today, so he dared to talk to the old man like this, and hurriedly grabbed Zhu Zhanji's arm: "Zhanji, be obedient, don't mess with your grandfather, let's go home, if you have anything to say, go home and say." ”
"Dad, don't stop me, I have to ask me to understand today!"
Zhu Zhanji's face was hideous, his expression was crazy, he pointed at Zhu Di's nose, and said loudly, "Back then, it was you who forced me into this position, it was you!" Since I was a child, you have told me, what is a good saint Sun Kewang for three generations, what will be passed on to my father and then to me in the future, let me study hard and work hard, and sooner or later the seat will be handed over to me. Okay, I believe it, now you want us to go to Ganzhou to take up the domain, and you want us to get away so that we can pass the throne to King Qi, right? Why don't you let me die! ”
Why don't you let me die!!
If you had asked me to be a prince of a vassal king, why would I be so unwilling today!
If I have been buried in the dust, then I am willing to be silent in the darkness.
Why do you want me to see the light and send me back to the ground?
You might as well kill me!
"Ahem, ahem!"
It was not Zhu Gaochi who coughed this time, but Zhu Di.
The Emperor clutched his chest, and a wave of anger rushed into his heart, almost overwhelming him, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, his steps were empty, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Smack!"
A loud slap sounded, and Zhu Gao's unforgivable slap slapped Zhu Zhanji's face: "In front of your grandfather, how did you say these rebellious words, don't you want to die, why don't you die!" ”
This slap used full force, and Zhu Zhanji's face was bloated.
Since he was born, Zhu Zhanji has never been slapped by his father.
This was the first time Zhu Gaochi had beaten him.
"Get out! Get out of here! ”
Zhu Gaochi pointed to the door of the palace and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to see you, and your grandfather doesn't want to see you, get out!" ”
Zhu Zhanji looked at his father incomprehensibly, tears rolling in his eyes.
He doesn't care about anything anymore, it doesn't matter if it's death, living like this is not Zhu Zhanji's life creed.
He wanted to find a reason for his father in front of the old man, why did his father treat him like this?
Anger can make people irrational, Zhu Zhanji was angry, and walked out of the Wenhua Hall with anger.
The hall was quiet again.
Zhu Gaochi seemed to have been drained of all his strength, slipped off the stool, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, his chest dull.
Zhu Di sat on the Jinluan chair, closed his eyes lightly, and breathed rapidly, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"He's gone crazy."
"You're crazy too."
Zhu Di said softly: "We are all crazy. ”
