The brothers chatted for a while, and Zhu Di suddenly asked: "Brother, if I come to pick them up, do you agree with Dad's will?"
"Huh? That's not true. I heard someone said that we were coming, so I waited there on my own. I'm afraid I don't know what's going on. What's the matter?" Zhu Biao asked curiously.
Zhu Di's face froze. He originally thought that his father specially asked his eldest brother to come to pick him up, which showed that he had been missing his son for a long time, and might be able to avoid the sin of himself and his second brother secretly leaving Beijing. But the eldest brother said that his father didn't know...
Zhu Laosi clearly understands what timidity is when one is close to home.
Even though he personally beheaded enemy chieftains in Shanhaiguan and experienced battles in which thousands of troops and horses fought against each other, in front of Zhu Biao, he was still just a young brother seeking protection from his elder brother. He pulled the trigger.
Pulling Zhu Biao's sleeve, he said with a bit of flattery: "Then...brother, can I accompany him and the second brother to see dad together?"
"If father Lei Lei is not angry, brother, I will help you and say a few good words..."
"Ah, that's right, that's right! Brother, I must accompany you!" Zhu Xi suddenly realized that he and Zhu Di held Zhu Biao on the left and right, for fear that the life-saving straw would escape.
Zhu Biao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Since we are afraid, why did we do it in the first place?"
"Don't worry. Although the two of us were really messing around at the beginning, what we did later was quite remarkable."
"Dad is preparing to attend the court meeting on the first day of the new moon, so he can reward us. Besides, there have been many state affairs in recent months, so he has no time to blame us."
When Zhu Xi and Zhu Di heard about it, they were overjoyed and felt that they would survive a disaster.
As it was getting late, Zhu Biao was worried about his three younger brothers who were tired from the journey, so he placed the group of people in a town outside the city to rest for a night. Zhu Biao had already arranged for food, accommodation, etc. Zhu Su was wrong about Zhu Biao's carefulness.
, and gained some experience.
But Chang Mao, Ru Taisu and others, because they missed their home, said goodbye to Zhu Su and others first, and went back to the city. Zhu Su also asked Di Meng to take the nurse camp to the imperial village for resettlement. Anyway, this place is no longer the imperial capital.
There are also Zhu Biao's prince guards and escorts nearby, so there is no need to worry about safety matters at all.
The whole night was silent. Early in the morning of the next month, the group set out to enter the city. When they arrived at the city gate, they saw Erhu, the bodyguard beside Lao Zhu, waiting at the city gate with several carriages.
Erhu also saw them and rushed with his people to greet Zailai: "To the east of the prince's palace, to the east of the three princes' palace."
"Your Majesty has a decree to announce that the three of you will come to Fengtian Palace in the east."
"Enter the palace at this time?" Zhu Biao was stunned. Is the bright moon looking at the moon, or is it the confinement of the imperial meeting? At that time, asking their brothers to enter the palace, is there some state affairs?
After a thought, he had already guessed a little bit. He turned around and said to Zhu Su and others with a smile: "I guess you should be rewarded for your merits and rewards for the three of us!"
When Zhu Di and Zhu Xi heard this, their faces showed joy. On the contrary, Zhu Su seemed to be lacking in interest and was completely uninterested.
Except for Zhu Biao, who is destined to inherit the great cause later in the month, Lao Zhu is different from other disciples in that he basically does not look like a "strict father". In ordinary months, he rarely speaks out, not only to praise him, but also to encourage him.
For Zhu Di and Zhu Feng, receiving praise from Lao Zhu is tantamount to a great affirmation of oneself.
But Zhu Su was not surprised. The greater the reward, the greater the responsibility. According to Lao Zhu's temper, if the government would reward people based on their merits, it would be hard to imagine what heavy responsibilities and responsibilities would follow.
After finally returning to Beijing, he discharged his errands and asked to take on new important responsibilities. Zhu Su expressed his gratitude but was not sensitive.
But if the two tigers and the carriage blocked people at the city gate, what if he ran away? Besides, Zhu Su didn't have the courage to openly resist the order and disobey it.
Lao Zhu's dragon belt is really good.
With no choice, Zhu Su followed Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di in the carriage prepared by the two tigers, heading straight to Fengtian Palace. Fortunately, the first thing they did when they returned to Beijing was to enter the palace, so they all arrived early.
Changing into the prince's robe saves the effort of changing clothes.
By the time they entered the palace gate, it was already past the time to enter the palace. Zhu Su and others were taken to the side hall of Fengtian Palace by the two tigers, and they could not enter until the two tigers went to report first.
After a while, the brothers saw a foreign attendant arriving: "Your Majesty has a decree, declare the Prince's Palace to the east, the King of Qin's Palace to the east, the King of Yan's Palace to the east, and the King of Wu's Palace to the east!"
"Let's go." Zhu Biao stood up and led his three younger brothers into the palace to meet the emperor. The Fengtian Palace where the lunar month was held was still solemn and solemn. Hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides, watching Zhu Biao and the three princes enter.
.
Arriving to the east of the dragon chair, Zhu Biao saluted and said, "My son Zhu Biao, please bring your three younger brothers in. May my father bow down and be blessed."
"Why should Biao'er be so polite?" Lao Zhu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, walked to the throne and looked at Zhu Su and the three people behind Zhu Biao with a smile. The three of them also knew about the court meeting and couldn't act recklessly. They should imitate Zhu Biao's behavior.
He saluted and said: "My child Zhu Su (Zhu Xi, Zhu Di) pays homage to my father. May my father bow down and be blessed!"
"Okay, okay." Lao Zhu nodded, looking away from the three sons he hadn't seen for a long time, looking at the ministers in the east of the palace and said: "Our three sons have arrived, let's stop what we were discussing earlier.
Just stop it."
"A few months ago, Qiu Cheng escorted Naha out to Yingtian. The situation at that time in Ji Town has been explained clearly."
"That matter has been spread throughout Yingtian for a long time. We should also know the contribution of our three sons."
Lao Zhu made it clear that Zhu Xi and Zhu Di both straightened their backs. Especially Zhu Di, whose contribution to the battle formation was recognized by his own father, it was more satisfying than eating a bowl of smoothie in the summer months.
Lao Zhu briefly glanced at the civil and military officials, and continued: "If you have merit, you should be rewarded, but you should not reward excessively. Therefore, you really need me to wait there and discuss it with you."
"We are preparing to prepare the King of Yan and the King of Wu to open the palace in advance."
"In addition, let the three of them also get some practical experience."
"The king of Yan, Zhu Di, temporarily holds the title of Jin Yiwei, the governor of the town. The king of Wu, Zhu Su, temporarily holds the title of Imperial Academy Supervisor of the Wine Festival. The King of Qin, Zhu Fang, temporarily holds the title of censor of Youqiandu. What do we think?"
Let the princes take the actual duties in the court...Do you want to let the princes have some experience before taking the vassal? Zhu Su thought to himself.
In the original Hongwu Dynasty, the prince had to study and gain experience in Fengyang Mansion in Zhongdu for several years before he could go out to join the feudal clan. The princes of the Hongwu Dynasty still had many strange things, and the east field was not very good either. Come to think of it,
Lao Zhu also reflected on the fact that maybe practicing in Fengyang is a bit too high and the emperor is far away.
That's why I want to place the princes directly in the middle of the court and practice them right under my nose.
And although it has not yet been announced, Lao Zhu Ruming's idea is definitely that it is best to enfeoff the vassal kings to foreign countries to open up territories. Let's get in touch with some practical matters first, and in a few months, those sons will go out to open up territories for the Ming Dynasty.
He can also feel more at ease.
Zhu Su was thinking about it secretly, but he didn't expect that his brothers didn't react at all. After hearing the arrangement, the civil servants behind him gradually started to make a noise.
