Chapter 12 The Prince Was Not Wrong
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Di and Ji Gang left Penglai County.
By the time Xu Zilin received the news, it was already afternoon.
"They left early in the morning?"
Xu Zilin was a little disappointed, he also thought that if these two people stayed for a few more days, maybe he could make them spit out some more money.
After Zhu Di and the others arrived in the capital, some Jinyi guards who patrolled the city saw Zhu Di with sharp eyes, and then immediately reported it.
On the other hand, Zhu Di is continuing to rush towards the palace at the moment.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has returned to Beijing, and it is estimated that you will be in the palace in a quarter of an hour."
In the barracks, Zhu Gaochi was watching the soldiers in front of him fight each other.
This is the rule he has set, and the winner who is selected within a month can get his own reward.
"Father is back? So suddenly, the palace has not yet set up a reception banquet for his father. ”
Zhu Gaochi slowly stood up.
"Your Highness, according to what the slave maid sees, Your Highness should return to the palace immediately, even if you don't have time to approve those folds, at least people are watching it in the East Palace."
On the side, the eunuch who had been following Zhu Gaochi spoke.
Zhu Gaochi thought about it for a while, and then ordered to return to the palace.
"Your Majesty! Why did he return to the palace in such a hurry, the ministers and others had not received the news before, and said that they wanted to go to the city gate to welcome His Majesty back! ”
As soon as he entered the palace, Chen Dejian, the Taifu, and Li Bowen, a cabinet scholar, received the news and stayed on Zhu Di's path early.
"Why are you here?"
Zhu Di looked up at the two people in front of him slightly, a little surprised.
"Your Majesty, the ministers and others have some things about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I hope to be able to tell Your Majesty in person."
"Your Majesty, the minister is one step ahead, and after being out of the palace for so long, there should be a lot of things that need to be done by the minister on Jinyiwei's side."
Ji Gang suddenly saluted Zhu Di, he still had a little eyesight, and he knew that it was best for him not to be present about the prince.
Zhu Di didn't leave him either, waved his hand and let him go.
"Let's go to the study with me first, and then tell me everything you want to say."
When the three of them arrived at the study, they suddenly knelt down.
Zhu Di heard the sound behind him, but he didn't speak, because his eyes were firmly fixed on the music in front of him.
The amount doesn't seem like much, but it's also a lot of twists and turns.
"Can any of you tell me why I have been away from the palace for so long, and there are still so many folds in the imperial study?"
Zhu Di pointed to the fold in front of him with some dissatisfaction and asked the two.
"Back to Your Majesty, in recent days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has only approved half of the excerpts, and the rest are all piled up in the imperial study waiting for His Majesty to come back."
Chen Dejian quickly replied to Zhu Di.
"Oh? If he doesn't criticize the folding, then what is he doing all day? ”
Zhu Di squinted his eyes slightly, he always felt that Zhu Gaochi's son was his favorite, and he was also the one he could hand over the country the most.
But he never thought that Zhu Gaochi would have such a day of dereliction of duty.
"Your Majesty, in fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a plaything, he has been guarding those soldiers and soldiers in the barracks for the past few days."
Chen Dejian continued to speak to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly.
"In that case, he should still be in the barracks? I went to the barracks to have a look. ”
Saying that, Zhu Di brushed his sleeves and left, and it seemed that he didn't want to take the two of them with him at all.
The eunuch guarding the door of the imperial study saw Zhu Di come out, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Where is Your Majesty going, the slave and maid sent someone to report?"
The eunuch hurriedly followed behind Zhu Di.
"Go find my good son, my prince."
Zhu Di didn't look back, so he said to the eunuch.
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and he remembered that he had just seen Zhu Gaochi and the others hurriedly return to the East Palace.
But Zhu Di's direction is not the East Palace.
After pondering for a moment, the eunuch spoke.
After all, if Zhu Di ran away because of himself, maybe Zhu Di, who was angry, would do something to himself.
"Your Majesty, the slave maid just saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be heading in the direction of the East Palace, I am afraid that the Prince is already in the East Palace at this time."
The eunuch's voice was not loud, but Zhu Di still stood still.
He quickly turned around and walked in the direction of the East Palace.
Zhu Di didn't let anyone report, but walked into Zhu Gaochi's hall by himself.
"Father is back? Why didn't you say it earlier, Erchen is better to pick up the car. ”
Zhu Gaochi realized that there was a person standing in front of him, and when he looked up, it was Zhu Di, so he quickly got up and saluted Zhu Di.
"I want to know, why don't you finish those folds these days, and watch the drills in the barracks?"
Zhu Gaochi knew that Zhu Di would ask himself, but he didn't expect Zhu Di's first words when he saw him to question.
He put down the fold in his hand.
At first, I was thinking about making a show, but when I opened the fold, I really saw it.
"Father, the son just hopes to be able to share the burden for his father, the soldiers in the barracks have been doing well in recent days, if you don't work hard to practice and practice, I'm afraid that you will die on the battlefield in the future."
Zhu Gaochi's voice was gentle, and Zhu Di was not really angry in the first place, so he gradually calmed down.
Zhu Di walked past the table in front of him and sat down on Zhu Gaochi's chair.
Then he looked up at Zhu Gaochi in front of him.
"Emperor, that's the case, you also know about my private visit, and along the way, I also saw a lot of strange things, all of which are things that have never existed in this palace, so I need money."
Zhu Di said to his son very unceremoniously.
Zhu Gaochi lowered his eyes slightly, he didn't mean to stop him.
"Father, as the king of a country, you can naturally get what you want, and these little things are not enough to tell your sons."
Zhu Di chuckled lightly, and for a while, the only remaining unhappiness in his heart disappeared.
"By the way, go and gather the minister immediately, I have something important to say."
With that, Zhu Di got up and left the East Palace.
Looking at Zhu Di's back as he walked out of the room, Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.
"Why did Your Majesty gather all the ministers as soon as he came back, isn't there something going on at the border pass?"
"Hugh is talking nonsense, if there is an accident at the border pass, how can Your Majesty come back?"
After receiving the news, the ministers hurried to the palace.
After the meeting, they all began to discuss this matter.
But before they could say a few words, Zhu Di had already arrived at the palace.
"Zhong Aiqing, I haven't seen you for a few days, it seems that you have a lot of things to say to me?"
Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, his majestic eyes scanning the ministers of His Highness.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The ministers saluted Zhu Di one after another.
"Zhong Aiqing, let's get even."
Zhu Di's eyes flashed.
When he originally summoned the ministers, he wanted to tell about Penglai County, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that he couldn't say anything.
