The cold wind howled all night.

On the second day, the snow was still falling, dyeing the world into a silver world.

The old man had a lazy sleep because he drank too much last night.

And Zhu Xiongying was holding an umbrella and went out of the palace alone, saying that he was alone, but in fact, the guards hidden in the shadows did not know how to go.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying had already walked to the door of Xu's mansion.

"Go and inform Xu Huizu, just say that the imperial grandson wants to see him."

The emperor's grandson?

Menzi was stunned when he heard this, hurriedly saluted, and then ran to inform their master.

Zhu Xiongying put away the umbrella, put it in front of the door, and looked out with his hands behind his back.

The heavy snow has not stopped for several days, and the snow in this year's cold winter seems to be more ferocious than in previous years.

With such a big snowfall, I don't know what kind of disaster it will cause.

Just when Zhu Xiongying was looking at the blizzard outside the door in a daze.

A group of people in the courtyard of the Xu Mansion had already hurried over.

The three brothers of the Xu family and Xu Miaojin walked out one after another.

"Minister Xu Huizu, bring your brother and sister, and pay homage to His Royal Highness the Emperor and Sun!"

Zhu Xiongying turned back with his hands behind his back, looked at the three brothers of the Xu family and Xu Miaojin, and said, "Get up, go in and say." ”

Xu Huizu thought for a while and said, "The minister holds an umbrella for His Royal Highness the Taisun." ”

Zhu Xiongying did not refuse, and walked towards the central hall, while Xu Huizu held an umbrella for Zhu Xiongying beside him.

Xu Huizu had been alert since he saw Zhu Xiongying, but he didn't expect all this to be true, until now, he felt a little incredible.

The young man at the beginning is now an existence that they have to be careful when climbing high!

Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Xiongying's back, and somehow felt a little bad in her heart.

And sure enough, he had changed.

It becomes solemn, it becomes something to look up to.

Ay!

Without much thought, the group had already arrived in the atrium.

Xu Huizu hurriedly asked people to pour tea.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying was already sitting on the main seat, and the brothers and sisters of the Xu family were sitting in the second place.

Zhu Xiongying took a sip of tea, glanced at the three brothers of the Xu family, and said lightly: "Lone came here this time, mainly to see you three brothers, Lone knows that you three brothers are capable people." ”

The Xu family is inextricably linked with the Huangming Zhu family.

Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty and ranked first among the "six kings" of the founding of the country.

And the Xu family is also a relative of the emperor, and the eldest daughter is Princess Yan.

So this time the imperial grandson came, which made the three brothers of the Xu family a little apprehensive.

The crown prince has been decided, which means that King Yan no longer has a chance, and in their Zhongshan Palace, there are some people who have an unclear relationship with King Yan.

When Zhu Xiongying said this, Xu Huizu didn't know what he meant, so he could only say cautiously: "His Royal Highness the Taisun has promoted the ministers and brothers, and the ministers are just under the shadow of their ancestors, so they have no ability." ”

"Huh-"

Zhu Xiongying chuckled lightly, and said like a few family treasures: "In the twenty-first year of Hongwu, you took the two brothers to Shanxi and Beiping to train and suppress bandits, and the bandits in the north fled in a hurry when they heard that you Xu Jiajun. ”

"In the twenty-second year of Hongwu, you were also ordered to be stationed in Changde Mansion, inspect the sergeants in the Huguang guards, and train the troops to prepare for the border."

"In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, you went to Shaanxi to train troops and defend the border."

"Lone knows, your brothers have the ability to train soldiers, if there is a chance, I will let you restore the right to train soldiers, a good tiger can't be coiled all the time, you are young and strong, you can't rest, the dynasty still needs you."

The three brothers of Xu Huizu were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Zhu Xiongying with dementia.

"Ministers, thank Your Highness for your appreciation!"

The three brothers of the Xu family hurriedly got up and bowed their hands.

Xu Huizu was a little excited in his heart, he knew how correct his choice was at the beginning.

Just like the old emperor said, the best thing about Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, is vision, and he Xu Huizu can be regarded as a person with vision.

Zhu Xiongying waved his hand, asked them to get up, and said with a smile: "Lonely this time, there is one more thing, I just want to see my sister." ”

Xu Miaojin, who was a little absent-minded on the side, was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at Zhu Xiongying.

She obviously didn't expect Zhu Xiongying to be so direct.

Zhu Xiongying also looked at Xu Miaojin and said with a smile: "Miss Xu, let's go out for a walk?" ”

Xu Miaojin was stunned, her rare pretty face turned slightly red, and she nodded immediately.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, the three brothers of the Xu family stood together and watched quietly.

In the end, it was Xu Yingxu who spoke first: "It turns out that the person who Concubine Guo Hui came to kiss is His Royal Highness the Grand Sun!" ”

Xu Huizu nodded and smiled: "Yes, who said that giving birth to a girl is not as good as a man?" Our Xu family is really blessed by Dad! ”

Xu Zengshou just smiled and didn't speak.

Because he supported King Yan at the beginning, thinking that the two sisters were married to King Yan, and the Xu family was the closest to him and King Yan.

Xu Huizu glanced at Xu Zengshou and said with a smile: "Fourth, catch up with Ming'er, our old sister, but it's our Daming...... Queen! What, unhappy? ”

Xu Zengshou smiled bitterly: "How can it?" My sister will be the mother of the world, what a glory this is! A few of us who are brothers are all stained! ”

"It's good to know, it's good to know!"

Xu Huizu patted Xu Zengshou on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's drink one?" ”

"Okay!"

Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou replied in unison.

The three brothers finally looked at each other and smiled, quite like one person attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven......

In this world, some people are happy and some people are sad, and it will always be like this.

Chunhe Palace side hall.

Zhu Yunwen went up to the west building alone and looked at it by the railing, but the eyes that could be reached by the second-floor attic were too short, and he could only see the busy eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard of Duanjing Palace.

There, once where he and the Lu family lived, has now changed hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to Chunhe Palace last night.

The Spring and Palace and the Imperial Palace are not far away, and it is not difficult for the old man to come.

But even if it is so bothersome, Zhu Yuanzhang has not been here for a long time, and he vaguely heard the noise in the palace last night.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Chunhe Palace, and in the past, it was enough to excite him, but now Zhu Yunwen can't suppress his resentment and jealousy, his eyes are confused, and he looks at Duanjing Hall stupidly.

"You're here, grandpa he's here, hehe, haha!"

"Do you know that during the nine years you were away, I served my father and honored your old man."

"Hehe, hehe-"

"Back then, my grandfather loved me so much."

"But since you appeared, everything has changed, and everything I have has been taken away by you!"

"Including...... My mother! ”

"My favorite ......"

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and poured wine hard, and the tears in his eyes flowed down as if he had broken the embankment.

Endless grievances, endless resentment......

made Zhu Yunwen want to look up to the sky and yell three times, but he didn't dare, so he had to hold it in his heart and let the tears wash his face.

"Coward!"

Suddenly, a coquettish sound sounded from behind Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen was suddenly stunned, as if he had woken up in a dream, he hurriedly turned around, only to see his mother Lu dressed in white, standing behind him faintly, and hurriedly shouted: "Mother......"

Lu Shi said faintly: "Bing'er, cheer up, how can a manly man be so depressed, if he can't encounter setbacks, he will only complain and only drink, who can have a smooth ride in his life?" ”

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly crawled over and roared in a suppressed voice: "Mother, the child knows that he is wrong!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Yunwen subconsciously wanted to catch the Lu family, but he pounced.

"Mother......

Zhu Yunwen cried and cried, wanting to hug it, but it was still empty.

The Lu family in front of him looked at Zhu Yunwen with a smile, and at the same time, his figure was slowly fading......

"Mother......

Zhu Yunwen shouted: "Mother! You don't go, you don't go......"

When Lu's figure dissipated, Zhu Yunwen had already cried into a puddle of mud, crying and crying, his face gradually distorted, and a thick resentment and fierceness gradually condensed from his tears......

……

Ying Tianfu streets.

Although it was snowing heavily, the people did not dare to be idle.

There are still vendors on the roadside, and there are also people huddled in a fixed corner waiting for work to come to the door.

The population of the capital has always been the most dense in the world, and in this lively street scene, Datong Street is undoubtedly the most lively.

Zhu Xiongying and Xu Miaojin walked silently on the streets.

"Your Highness, I'll give you an umbrella."

Xu Miaojin was silent all the way for a long time, and finally spoke.

Zhu Xiongying turned his head and said with a straight face: "Are you teaching Gu to do things?" ”

？？？

Xu Miaojin was stunned, the embarrassment on her face flashed, and she immediately wanted to bow down: "The folk girl knows that ...... is wrong?"

Zhu Xiongying grabbed Xu Miaojin and suddenly smiled: "You have changed!" ”

？？？

Xu Miaojin was stunned again, she didn't know how to answer for a while, she looked at Zhu Xiongying in a daze, she really wanted to say, you have changed, but she didn't dare to say it.

Because the person in front of him is the emperor's grandson, the most powerful man in the future of the Ming Dynasty.

One word can determine the life and death of everyone, including their Xu family.

Looking at Xu Miaojin, who was stunned, Zhu Xiongying seemed to answer her, and said with a smile: "Actually, I haven't changed, what has changed is your state of mind." ”

"I know that my identity will bring a lot of changes, but I hope that we will not be affected by those things, just like you already knew my identity and still pretended not to know and got along with me, and now you pretend that you don't know, do you know what I mean?"

"You're teaching me to do things?" Xu Miaojin glanced at Zhu Xiongying lightly.

This made Zhu Xiongying almost a little crazy.

Looking at Zhu Xiongying's appearance, Xu Miaojin couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile, which made Zhu Xiongying can't help but glance at Xu Miaojin.

Xu Miaojin smiled slyly and said, "It's flat!" ”

Zhu Xiongying smiled, took out a token from his arms, and handed it to Xu Miaojin.

"This is what I ordered someone to build in the East Palace, you take it, the East Palace can enter and exit at any time, and if you miss me, go to the East Palace to find me."

"Sometimes I have a lot of things to do, I may not be able to think of you, you take the initiative yourself, understand?"

Xu Miaojin: "......"

These words are full of a unique straight male atmosphere that belongs to the old Zhu family.

However, after Xu Miaojin heard this, her cheeks suddenly turned crimson, as sweet as eating honey, she happily took the token, nodded and said, "Understood......"

……

The temple of the body.

After Zhu Yuanzhang woke up, he asked people to bring up some of the notes that had been processed earlier.

Most of them are inconsequential little things, such as greetings, local anecdotes, missing the emperor, and so on.

Before, he had always seen it at a glance.

But today, Zhu Yuanzhang is looking at it very seriously.

The maidservants and eunuchs next to them were all secretly watching, very curious.

There are a lot of sloppiness in this, and the old man has obviously let them take it down, why, do you still take it so seriously?

Moreover, there is still a smile on his face that he has not seen in a long time.

This is the first time in the world!

In the past, the old man criticized the music, and unless he encountered some happy event, he had never smiled so happily.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally laughed not because of the sparseness, but because of the pair of gold-wire glasses on his nose.

Zhu Yuanzhang lifted his glasses towards his forehead with one hand for a while, and hung them down for a while, and he didn't feel annoyed when he repeated it.

The words on the note are clearly visible!

In the past, he had to lie on his stomach when he criticized the music, but this time his body was straight and straight, even if he was so far away, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't squint his eyes.

"Good fellows! What good guys! This thing, god! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled knowingly.

After a while, Liu Bao came over and said cautiously: "Emperor, the three kings of Qin, Jin, and Yan are already outside the palace." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "Go and call them in." ”

Less.

The three kings of Qin Jinyan walked with tiger steps, and knelt on their knees together: "My son asks my father for peace." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Get up." ”

The three of them got up and saw the glasses on Zhu Yuanzhang's nose bridge, and they were a little stunned for a while.

They naturally know how to observe words and looks, and when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang fiddling with his glasses at every turn, they knew that the old man was very happy with this thing.

Zhu Di looked at it and said quietly: "Dad, this is a gift from the imperial grandson?" I think my dad is very satisfied! ”

Don't look at Zhu Di with a beard, rough appearance, and hearty work, but he really belongs to the kind of person whose heart is like a tiger sniffing roses.

He knows when and what to say will make Zhu Yuanzhang happy.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang beckoned: "Come to us and stand up straight!" ”

"Great!"

Zhu Di obediently walked over and stood behind Zhu Yuanzhang.

The second king of Qin Jin pursed his lips speechlessly.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the dense words on the song: "Can you see clearly?" ”

Zhu Di squinted hard: "This ...... It's a bit confusing. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to nod: "Well, can't you see clearly?" Let's see it clearly. ”

Forehead.

Zhu Di was speechless, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang leaning back against the Taishi chair with a smug smile on his face, Zhu Di knew that the old man was showing off.

Zhu Di pretended to be puzzled and said, "Father...... This? Could it be that your old dazzled eyes have healed? Congratulations, congratulations! The son blesses the father! ”

What is the Art of Speaking?

Sometimes the so-called 'stupid' is not wise and stupid?

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Hehe! This is the wisdom of our Ming Dynasty, the wisdom of our old Zhu family! ”

Zhu Di: "......"

This old man's love for the emperor's grandson is really jealous!

Zhu Yuanzhang carefully put away his glasses, looked at the three kings of Qin, Jin, and Yan again, and said slowly: "The domains to which the three of you belong, Taiyuan, Xi'an, and Beiping, are all important towns in China for thousands of years, and they are also the frontier fortresses of our Ming Dynasty. ”

"Don't let us hear about your nonsense in the domain, understand?"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Zhang, King of Qin, intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhu Fan was frightened, and hurriedly took the lead in kneeling: "Erchen obeys the teachings of his father!" ”

Zhu Li and Zhu Di also had to kneel down: "The sons obey the teachings of their father!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and continued: "We, now we are also getting old day by day, if suddenly one day, we die of a violent illness, or die of no illness, what should you do?" ”

Zhu Li replied: "If there is really such a day, Erchen will definitely do his best, support the prince, and protect my Ming dynasty for thousands of generations!" ”

Zhu Fan and Zhu Di also nodded and said, "The same is true for Erchen!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the three of them with a smile and said, "What if there are no descendants who kill each other?" ”

The three of them replied almost at the same time: "The son will be the king of Qin's escort!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, looked at the three of them, and said quietly: "What if it's you who kill each other?!" ”

“……”

The three of them were swept on their foreheads by Zhu Yuanzhang's indifferent gaze, and they couldn't help but sweat coldly.

"Erchen, don't dare!"

All three of them bowed down.

There was a long silence in the palace, and the silent coercion was like mountains and rivers pouring down, pressing on the heads of the three kings of Qin, Jin, and Yan.

For many years, they haven't felt this kind of coercion since they took office!

A tiger will always be a tiger, even if he is already in the twilight, the murderous aura emanating from his body is still like a sword and a sword.

I don't know how long it took, Sanwang felt that his back was already wet with cold sweat, and then he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say lightly: "Let's all get up, let's just ask casually, don't panic!" ”

"Yes!"

Only then did the three kings dare to stand up.

Zhu Di wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Dad, your joke can scare my son enough!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and continued: "Let's keep you away from the court, just to better protect the court, you are lonely, but you must concentrate on commanding the troops and fighting the border, babies, you must respect yourself!" ”

"Yes!"

The three kings hurriedly said yes.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "It is not easy for the ancestral foundation of our old Zhu family to be defeated, we are the heavenly family, and the heavenly family must have deeper rules, what we have said, it is a promise!" ”

"What did we say about the conditions for establishing a prince?"

Zhu Li hurriedly said: "The one who is the prince will be the bloodline of the emperor." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "The young and the old are orderly, the respect and the humility are constant, what you said is good, but the standard is gone, but there are still people in the lineage of the main heir." ”

"It's your thing, my father is never stingy, but it's not your thing, we hope you don't think about it."

"We are the emperor first, and then your father, and the things of our heavenly family are not ordinary people's property."

"If it is an ordinary family, you can share the things in the house with the rain and dew, and give the things in the house to your brothers and sisters, but the country of the heavenly family, the fourth, do you think you can divide it?"

Hearing being named, Zhu Di hurriedly said: "I can't!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "It's good if you understand, we will be at peace in our hearts, we are a king first, then a father, as a king, we hope that the world is peaceful, as a father, we hope that your family is peaceful." ”

"If there is an unfilial son who vainly tries to erase this peace, don't blame his father for turning his face and being ruthless!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly, and the three kings stood in place, shocked by Zhu Yuanzhang's domineering aura and did not dare to move.

This is Lao Tzu, educating his son in the ear, this coercion, this contempt, like a storm!

The three kings are all bold people, and no one is afraid of them in their lives, but seeing Zhu Yuanzhang is like a mouse meeting a cat.

"Sons and daughters remember the precepts of their father."

The three kings bowed down again.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Okay, I called you here today, also because you finally returned to Beijing together, and soon you children will return to the domain, when the weather is good in a few days, we want to take you to winter hunting, let's get together again, prancing horses and whips, and let us see if you have grown over the years!" ”
