Chapter 152 The stunner of the serial sound of selling mutton
The lights in the clan ancestral hall were brightly lit, and the royal rows were carefully taken care of every day. There was no dust or dirt on them. Zhu Zhanzhen knelt in front of the rows of ancestral tablets.
Almost fell asleep.
Xiaosheng hurriedly supported Zhu Zhanzhen, and then knelt down and kowtowed in a panic: "Emperor Taizu, please forgive me. Your Highness is still young. Emperor Taizu, please forgive me."
Zhu Zhanchen smashed his mouth and collapsed on the ground. He had really been kneeling in the ancestral hall, but he was exhausted. Xiaosheng and Chu'er were still copying scriptures beside them.
"Your Highness, you can't sit down. This is something ordered by His Majesty. How could you not kneel down?" Xiaosheng was afraid that His Highness would be punished again, so he hurriedly helped him kneel back.
"It's okay. Can Grandpa Huang really come to see it in person?"
creak
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door opening. Zhu Zhanyi was not sleepy anymore, and hurriedly knelt back and read: "Unworthy descendant Zhu Zhanyi knows his mistake."
The man came slowly, but it was not Zhu Di, but Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black.
When Zhu Zhanzhen saw Yao Guangxiao, he relaxed again: "Huh, master, why are you here?"
"The poor monk is following His Majesty's orders to see if you have reflected on your actions. Your Highness must kneel down and go back."
Zhu Zhanchen was helpless: "Master, didn't you say you don't believe in Buddhism? What's the use of kneeling?"
"You don't have to worship the Buddha, but you have to worship your ancestors. The Buddha is not related to you, but your ancestors are your own ancestors." Yao Guangxiao also guided Zhu Zhanyi on the correct posture of kneeling to worship his ancestors.
Then he looked at Xiaosheng and Chu'er: "You two, please give me the copied scriptures."
The two of them looked at Zhu Zhanyi as if asking for help. Zhu Zhanyi could not help but nodded and asked them to hand it over: "Master, I asked them to copy it."
Yao Guangxiao frowned and looked at the scriptures: "Your Highness, when copying scriptures, it is most taboo to have two people copying them separately. The strokes and fonts are different, and there are too many flaws."
Zhu Zhanzhen was stunned, it must be you, the old monk is experienced.
Yao Guangxiao threw the scriptures into the fire: "Your Highness, the scriptures have been burned. Even if they are copied, they have been burned to the ancestors. Just kneel sincerely and admit your mistakes in a few days. Remember to admit your mistakes in front of His Majesty."
If you have a sincere attitude, then the matter will be revealed."
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
"How does it feel for Your Highness to supervise the country for the first time?"
"I'm so tired. I feel like every day I wake up and it's all about my brain. I don't have a moment to relax."
"People say that when you have great power, you should feel refreshed. Your Highness seems to be reluctant." Yao Guangxiao chuckled.
"I'm too tired. Whoever wants to do it can do it."
Yao Guangxiao chatted for a while and then asked: "Your Highness, if you are asked to go to the fiefdom and become a vassal, would you be willing?"
"Ah?" Zhu Zhanchen was stunned: "I haven't even been named the county king yet."
"It's already being planned. It is expected that shortly after the grandson's wedding, he will be conferred the title of Prince of Zhujiang County."
"Ah? Eldest brother is getting married?"
"It was about to be done, but the Northern Expedition was delayed. This time it happened to be a great victory. I married my grandson to a principal concubine and two concubines at once."
I rely on the third concubine. Of course, this exclamation can only be kept in my heart.
"Your Highness, you haven't answered the poor monk's question yet."
Zhu Zhanzhen was in a dilemma. He always felt that Yao Guangxiao had a purpose in asking this, but it was impossible for Zhu Di to have such a crooked idea and let a ten-year-old child like him go to join the feudal clan.
"Master, I still want to stay with my father and mother."
"His Royal Highness is extremely filial. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess must be extremely pleased."
Yao Guangxiao stood up: "Your Highness must remember what the poor monk said and kneel properly."
"Got it, Master."
"Oh, by the way, the princess from the Western Region has arrived."
Yao Guangxiao's words before leaving made Zhu Zhanzhen make up his mind to leave the clan mansion as soon as possible.
…
Zhu Zhanzhen knelt in the Zongren Mansion for several days and was finally released.
After returning to his small courtyard, Zhu Zhanchen didn't care about anything and fell asleep by himself.
When I woke up, it was a new day, and I walked happily to the princess's yard.
The prince is holding one in his left hand and one in his right hand. The left hand is holding the tall Jurchen girl who is good at riding horses. The right hand is holding the girl who looks like Guli Nazha and is not short. , but because of her young age, she looks shorter than the Jurchen girl.
That girl's fair skin, deep eye sockets and tall nose are quite different from those of the Ming Dynasty people. This exotic style is really shocking.
Seeing Zhu Zhanxun, the princess said with a little distress: "Zhanxun, you must have been in pain on your knees these past few days."
"Mother, my son is being punished and I dare not say it hurts."
"Hey, it's just you kid."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, took the girl who looked very much like Gulinaza, and said, "This is the princess of the Timur Kingdom, the tenth daughter of Sultan Shaharul, named Zara."
"Zara has met His Highness the Fifth Prince."
Zhu Zhanzhen was shocked when this beauty from the Western Region opened her mouth. How could such a beautiful girl speak with a mutton skewers accent? Her voice was thin and smooth, which sounded nice, but her accent was too strong.
On the impact of accent on appearance.
Because Zara didn't know how to speak clearly before, she started learning from the envoy from the beginning, and it was already very good to learn like this.
Looking at her smiling face, I will temporarily ignore the impact of her accent.
"Mother, the Timur Kingdom is extremely far away from our country. Princess Zara has had a hard time traveling all the way. How about my son take her around to familiarize herself with the palace."
"That's fine, but remember not to be rude."
"Also, your eldest brother is getting married in a few days. When everyone is celebrating, you should avoid getting into trouble."
"I know, don't worry, mother."
Zhu Zhanchen led Zara out and this was what the prince had promised him personally.
Zara led Zara to the Imperial Garden. Zara seemed to know that the person she came to marry was Zhu Zhanzhen, but Zhu Zhanzhen was three years younger than her and looked childish no matter what, which made her a little depressed.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here." Zara exclaimed as soon as she entered the Royal Garden, walked quickly towards the flowers, and started dancing gracefully.
She laughed in the bush, and the flowers lost their color.
Aside from the accent, it's really pretty.
Chu'er wanted to leave and remind her that dancing was not allowed in the imperial garden, but Zhu Zhanchen stopped her.
Zara has a romantic and free temperament. It can be seen that she must have been very loved in her own country. This time, the Timur Kingdom has spent a lot of money.
It is said that when the Timur Kingdom was in the early Yongle Dynasty, their Sultan Timur wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty, but there was also the Chagatai Khanate between the Timur Empire and the Ming Dynasty. Timur died of illness on the way, and the country was in turmoil. , in the end, Shaharul, the fourth son of Timur, seized the throne and sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty to show friendship.
This was the second tribute paid by the Timur Kingdom and brought the princess to marry him. Because Shaharul wanted to go to war with the Chagatai Khanate, he had to stabilize the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty did not have much thought about the Western Regions for a short time, but it cannot be said that they did not have the idea of being a fisherman.
"Your Highness, Fifth Prince."
Suddenly a familiar voice came, it was Sun Ruowei.
"Sister Ruowei, are you out?" Zhu Zhanzhen was surprised.
Sun Ruowei nodded slightly. She had not suffered any grievances during this period and had no worries about eating and drinking. However, she felt aggrieved and could not get over it.
"Sister Ruowei is getting married in a few days. I would like to congratulate you first, sister-in-law."
"Your Highness, I am just your grandson's concubine. I cannot afford to call you sister-in-law." Sun Ruowei was still unhappy.
"The concubine is also a sister-in-law."
Sun Ruowei looked at Zara who was dancing gracefully: "Your Highness, is this the princess from the Western Regions getting married?"
"Well, it looks good."
"It's very beautiful."
After just chatting for a few words, Zhu Zhanzhen took Zara back to his yard, and asked the long-legged little chef to prepare kebabs.
I don’t know where Zhu Zhanzhen’s bad taste comes from, but all he can think about is the scene of Zara, a beautiful Western-style character, wearing a horse-faced dress, holding mutton skewers, and shouting: "Alibaba mutton skewers."
Shaking his head, retreat! retreat! retreat!
I can’t help but think that Zara’s accent must be changed by someone.
Otherwise, you will always sound like mutton skewers when you shout in the future. Even if the picture is beautiful and the dubbing is not good, it will still easily fall short of the standard hardness.
Humans are visual animals as well as auditory animals.
After just getting along for a while, the young eunuch came over and said, "Your Highness, Fifth Highness, Your Highness the Grand Sun has invited you."
Zhu Zhanzhen set off immediately to meet Zhu Zhanji.
"Brother!"
"Fifth brother!"
"Brother!!"
"Fifth brother!!"
"Brother, please sit down first."
Brotherly love is deep, Zhu Zhanji asked: "Fifth brother, although the emperor punished you, you actually did a good job in supervising the country this time. The emperor still praised you in private."
"Hey, if the younger brother gets into trouble, the older brother has to help him out."
"What are you talking about? You and I are brothers."
"Brother, why are you looking for me now?"
"The matter of your title of county king has been decided."
Zhu Zhanji's slightly frowned brow told him that things might not be so good.
"Brother, what's wrong? Is there something going on with Grandpa Huang?"
Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and explained: "The matter of granting the title of county king is still the same as before. Your position as king of the county has been decided before. I will grant you the title of county king of Zhujiang. It's just...it's just that the emperor wants you to be granted the title of vassal, and Zhan Yun."
You have to become a vassal."
"Fan?" Zhu Zhanzhen was shocked, but he immediately recovered. Yao Guangxiao had come to remind him before, but he never expected that he would actually be asked to accept vassalship.
"There has never been a precedent for young princes of clans and counties to accept vassal status. I don't know what the emperor thought, why he let you and Zhanjuan go and join vassal status."
Zhu Zhanchen sighed: "Maybe the emperor is still angry with me."
"No, Grandpa Huang didn't feel any anger when he talked about you. He wasn't really angry with you. There might be another purpose in asking you to become a vassal. It's just that we can't understand Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Zhanchen said helplessly: "Now that the matter has come to an end, I can't say anything more. Let's not talk about this anymore. My eldest brother will be getting married in a few days. Congratulations to my eldest brother."
Zhu Zhanji lamented: "Hey."
Zhu Zhanzhen never expected to understand why the people in the old Zhu family were so affectionate. Zhu Zhanji still sighed when he was given three wives at once, because he was worried that Sun Ruowei was not the royal concubine.
You are already a third concubine and you are still lamenting.
