The sunset is silent and it is already late, but the green mountains are still accompanied by the setting sun.
The sad songs of the world are not far away, only the moonlight is dimly known.
~
It's late at night, but the crying is still there.
Zhu Yunxi dragged his tired body back to the front yard from the mourning hall. As soon as he sat down on the throne, he saw a figure approaching.
"I know you can't eat it, but people are made of iron rice and steel. If you can't eat it, you have to eat some!" Queen Zhao Ning'er took out a blue and white bowl from the food box and placed it in front of Zhu Yunxi, "I give it to you, my concubine.
I made some pimple soup, please take a few warm bites!"
The milky white pimple soup is reflected by the green onion and coriander, and there is also an ingot-shaped poached egg in it, which is pleasing to the eye.
But Zhu Yunxi really didn't have the appetite to eat. He picked up the spoon and took a bite without knowing the taste. "What happened to Liu Jin and Xiao Fu'er?"
"Hey!" Zhao Ning'er sighed, "The two children cried so much that their voices were hoarse. Xiao Fu'er called him daddy in his dreams, and Liu Jin even cried in his dreams!" After saying that, she flipped her hair, "Liu Jin still cried in the morning.
Tell the people at Yong'an Palace that whatever the old man was like when he was alive, he will be like that inside, and no one is allowed to touch it!"
"Well! It's not in vain to hurt him!" Zhu Yunxi nodded.
Zhao Ning'er looked up at him and hesitated to speak.
"Is something wrong?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
After being an emperor for a long time, he has learned nothing else, but he has learned from others by observing others.
"Concubine Hui is outside and wants to see you!" Zhao Ning'er said, "She went to my concubine and cried a while ago!" After saying that, he hesitated, "They all knelt down in front of me..."
Bang!
Zhu Yunxi threw the spoon in his hand on the table impatiently. He knew exactly why Concubine Guo Hui came. Why else? Isn't it for her two useless sons?
Zhao Ning'er silently changed the spoon for Zhu Yunxi and continued, "Actually, I know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. I am a woman who doesn't understand this, and I don't have the right to speak. But she is an elder after all.
Over the years, I have shown sincere love to my concubine, the Emperor, and Liu Jin."
"Let her come in!" Zhu Yunxi sighed.
After the words fell, not long after, Concubine Guo Hui, dressed in mourning clothes, came in from the outside sobbing.
"I have met the emperor!" As soon as she entered the door, Concubine Guo Hui bowed with great ceremony.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Yunxi frowned, "Hurry and help him up!"
Zhao Ning'er stepped forward and was about to extend her hand to help, when Guo Huifei raised her head and cried, "Your Majesty, you can't spare them! Just look at my face and the past friendship, can you? I beg you?"
Looking at her face, Zhu Yunxi lost his mind for an instant.
The old man had only been away for a few days, and Concubine Guo Hui seemed to have aged more than 20 years, with half of her hair growing gray and wrinkles on her face.
He suddenly remembered that when he was a child, in the cold Forbidden City, the only person who truly loved him was the old woman in front of him.
It was a kind of love that truly regarded him as one's own grandson, without any reservation.
She had basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, reading and writing, started a family, married a wife and had children. The old woman in front of her was involved in almost all major events in Zhu Yunxi's life.
In fact, I was always next to the old man, helping him blow pillows!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi's heart softened, and he stepped forward to help the other person, "How can I feel what you are saying? Get up quickly, you are scolding me!"
"Your Majesty! I know that these two people are not up to par and have offended you!" Guo Huifei continued to cry, "You can beat or scold me if you want. I beg you, please spare their lives, okay?" She said,
She took Zhu Yunxi's hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have never begged you before. I will beg you just this once in my life, okay?"
"That's not it!" Zhu Yunxi patted her hand, and the wrinkles on her face were like knives cutting into Zhu Yunxi's heart, "Don't worry, I won't argue with them!" He said with a bitter smile, "You
, don’t take it too seriously!”
Concubine Guo Hui held back Zhu Yunxi's hand and said with tears, "Well, I know that your Majesty is not such an unkind person!" As she said that, she reached out to touch Zhu Yunxi's face and whispered, "Xiu
Brother, can I call you Brother Xi?"
Zhu Yunxi felt the temperature in her palm and smiled, "Of course you can! I am the emperor, but I am also Brother Xi who you have taken care of yourself!"
"Hey!" Concubine Guo Hui shed tears again and again, then looked out the window and suddenly lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, my dear son, Mo Ruomu, my two most promising things were all encouraged by others!" She said, gritting her teeth, "Lao Wu,
He is not a good person. He has always been instigating people since he was a child! They told me just now that Lao Wu told them that Your Majesty is going to attack them!"
After speaking, she looked directly into Zhu Yunxi's eyes.
Zhu Yunxi acted as if nothing had happened, patted her hand lightly, and wrote lightly, "Since you know Uncle Wu's temperament, you should know that what he said is nothing but nonsense!"
"That's good!" Guo Huifei lowered her head.
But no one saw it, and deep despair flashed in her eyes.
She raised Brother Xi, and she knew Brother Xi far better than others.
This kid is always smiling when he is really murderous.

"How is brother twenty-one?"
A group of vassal kings gathered around King Zhu Mo of Han who had just fallen asleep. Zhu Di asked worriedly.
The imperial doctor next to him bowed and said, "In response to the Fourth Prince, King Qiansui of Han lost his mind due to great sadness. The official has given me a prescription to soothe his nerves. It should be fine after a sleep!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di frowned and said angrily, "No hindrance means no hindrance. What do you mean by "no hindrance"? Is there any chance?"
When he frowned, several of the imperial doctors suddenly became angry and did not dare to express their anger.
The men in Lao Zhu's family were all bad-tempered, and it was common for them to kill someone with a knife if they disagreed. They didn't dare to get into trouble. They quickly pretended not to listen and walked away.
~~
"Lao Twenty-one is a pure and filial child!" A group of vassal kings also left the room later and walked outside. Lao Liu Zhu Zhen said, "Hey! Father, why did you just say you were leaving? I just said
I can’t understand, the old man has always been strong, why did it happen so suddenly?”
Zhu Di turned around sharply, not to look at Zhu Zhen, but to glare at Zhu Zhen first.
Then he said, "Who can predict birth, old age, illness and death? My father is also old. That is to say, our heavenly family has many rules. If it is among the people, it is a joy and mourning..."
"What the fourth brother said, what does it mean that the father has reached his age?" Qi King Zhu Shu said coldly, "Do you mean that the father should be at this age?"
Zhu Di was stunned at first, then stunned, and then looked at Zhu Shu as if he didn't recognize him, "Are you talking to me?" He said, tapping the other person's shoulder, "Are you talking to me?"
Zhu Shu was originally a cold-tempered and violent person, so he was not afraid at all. "Then who do you think I'm talking to, fourth brother?"
"I've rebelled against you!" Zhu Di was furious and raised his hand fiercely.
The next second, he was directly saved by Zhu Ru, "Fourth brother, fourth brother, the seventh brother is a heartless person, why do you want to be like him!"
"Is he careless?" Zhu Di was held hand and foot by his brother and said angrily, "He has more care than anyone else!" He roared and continued angrily, "Get away and see if I can beat him to death!"
"Haha!" King Zhu Su of Qi actually applauded, "Fourth brother is so majestic!" He said with a sneer, "Fourth brother wants to teach his younger brother a lesson, and the younger brother naturally has nothing to say. Who told you to be the boss? But fourth brother, you also
I can only show off my power with my brothers. Do you dare to show off with others?"
Zhu Di was stunned again, and then looked at Zhu Xi with extremely cold eyes.
The latter lowered his head and said with a bit of fear, "Fourth brother, there are some things you don't know yet!"
"The emperor wants to cut off the vassal, cut off our vassal!" Chu King Zhu Zhen looked at the brothers in front of him and said coldly, "Even if we kiss my father, we will take back everything that was given to us! Do you agree?"
"The old man's body is still cold, and he is going to attack us uncles and kings!" Qi Wang Zhu Su also said, "Haha, what a great saint grandson! What a great emperor! Brothers, the ancestral family law of the Ming Dynasty is in the emperor's hands.
It’s just child’s play in my eyes!”
"We are the vassal king now, and he is still bullying us like this! If we lose power, we will be worse than a dog in his eyes!" Zhu Shu said coldly, "Old Thirteen, Old Nineteen, just now in front of the old man's soul,
How did he yell at you right in front of our dear father?"
The acting king Zhu Gui's face was full of anger and he clenched his fists, "It's not just a smack, it's just trying to inflict a crime!" As he said that, he snorted coldly, "If Brother Eleven hadn't stepped forward and pulled him, I'd have asked for me and him on the spot.
The nineteenth brother is charged with the grave crime of being unfilial and disrespectful by being late on purpose!"
"Shut up!" King Zhu Chun of Shu said angrily, "Old Thirteen, you bastard!"
"You are our brother, why are you facing outsiders?" Zhu Su, the king of the valley, said, "If you turn towards him, won't he kill you?" He said with a sneer, "Oh, that's right! My brother, yours
My daughter-in-law is my uncle’s biological daughter, so naturally he treats you differently from us!"
Zhu Chun originally had an elegant personality, but now that he was being squeezed out by his brothers, he was so angry that he was speechless.
"Okay, what are you arguing about?" Zhu Chu stamped his feet and said, "It's time, shouldn't the brothers huddle together and twist into a rope? Why are you arguing?" He said, looking at Zhu Chun, "Old Eleven,
Lao Shijiu’s words don’t sound good, but you, Pinpin, don’t agree with me!”
At this point, he pointed to his head, "Look at your fifth brother and me. Take a good look at your fifth brother and me. My present may not be your future!"
"Lao Wu!" Zhu Di stared angrily.
"Fourth brother!" Zhu Rui took two steps back, "Now that you are the eldest among the brothers, it stands to reason that you should help the brothers to stand out! But how do you..." He said, shaking his head, "Fourth brother, you
He is no longer the fourth brother he used to be!"
Zhu Di's face was ashen, his anger was about to burst out, and his face was ferocious.
"I'm doing it for your own good, but you haven't thought about it..."
"It's just because I thought about it that I resisted!" Zhu Shu sneered, "Otherwise, just wait for your neck to be wiped!" As he said, he continued to look at the vassal kings with a sneer, "He gave our biological father the honorary title, too.
Emperor Zu Gao. We are all descendants of Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. We would rather break than bend!"
Zhu Zhen also said, "Brothers, our bones are filled with the strong blood of the Zhu family. Is it possible that Cheng Cheng has suffered such humiliation?"
"Why does he treat us like this?" Valley King Zhu Su also said, "We have worked hard at the border over the years without any credit! If we hadn't guarded the border, how could he be so stable?"
"Yes, the rule set by our father at the beginning was that the emperor should be in the center, and the vassal kings should protect the four sides! We protect the country and the country, and the ancestral family laws of the Ming Dynasty cannot be changed!" Zhu Gui, the acting king, gritted his teeth.
"I am the son of Emperor Taizu Gao, how can I be humiliated?" Valley King Zhu Su also said.
Inside the room, Zhu Di was so angry that he was shaking all over, and Zhu Chun opened his mouth wide and was at a loss.
King Qin, King Jin, King Lu and others looked at each other and silently moved outside.
Zhu Shu sneered again, "I have sent someone to send a message to the Seventeenth Brother, asking him not to come to the capital yet!" As he said that, he glanced at the vassal kings coldly, "If anything changes here, there is a helper outside, right?
?”
"You..." Zhu Di was trembling with fear, "You're going against it!"
"Haha!" Zhu Zhen sneered, "Fourth brother, this word is reversed, isn't it right to use it on us?"
"In the early years, you often wanted to rebel!" Zhu Shu also sneered.
"Lao Qi, I will beat you to death!" Zhu Di was furious.
"Come on!" Zhu Shu was not afraid, "beat me to death. You can claim credit from the emperor and beg for mercy!" He said, growling, "Fourth brother, you were the one who wanted to rebel at first, but now you are the most obedient.
It’s also you, which one is the real you?”
"My brothers are all here. I'm just waiting for you to say, should you follow us or follow him?" Zhu Gui, the acting king, also stepped forward and looked at Zhu Di.
"You..." Zhu Di was stunned.
"Otherwise!" Zhu Zhu said, "You can't help each other!"
"Lao Wu!" Zhu Di almost spat out a sentence from between his teeth, "Just stir it up!"
"I'm so hot-tempered but cold-hearted!" Zhu Ting stomped his feet, "Who am I for? What do I want?"
"Fourth brother!" Zhu Gui, the acting king, stepped forward again, "My younger brother admired you the most before, so you can't give me a word, okay?" He said and shouted, "Don't you understand that my lips are dead and my teeth are cold?"
"You are seeking death, but you are the only ones who can fight..."

"Everyone Chitose!"
Suddenly, an unkind voice came from outside, and then Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites, appeared at the door with a frown.
"The spirit of the great emperor is within a hundred steps. How can you be so dignified by making such a loud noise?" Li Zhigang waved his sleeves and said, "Aren't you afraid of impeachment by the imperial censor if you are thousands of years old?"
Zhu Guizheng was full of anger, turned around and scolded, "Whose trouser pockets were not fastened tightly, exposing you!"
"I..." Li Zhigang was immediately scolded and said angrily, with a red face and thick neck, "Li, the Minister of Rites, the lower official..."
"Fuck you! Let's talk to the Zhu family, are you your Ma Le Gobi?" Zhu Gui went up and kicked him.
