Zhu Yunxi wanted to laugh but couldn't, but the old man saw it.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Grandson..." Zhu Yunxi thought about it as he spoke, "Grandson suddenly thought of the future!"
"In the future?" the old man wondered.
"In the future, Xiao Fu'er and Yaya will also get married, and the grandson will also choose a prince-in-law for them." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "If you don't raise a daughter, you don't know the father's heart. Maybe in the future, the grandson will also dislike the father-in-law!"
The old man corrected him sternly, "Xiao Fu'er is our little girl, your aunt, not your daughter!" As he said that, he said a little lonely, "We can't wait for that day, and we don't know whose bastard will take advantage of us."
Egg!"
"Look at you!" After getting Zhu Yunxi's look, Princess Nankang immediately said, "What do you mean you can't wait? You have to wait even if you can't wait. If you can't wait, who will your daughter rely on in the future, and who will make the decision if she has any grievances?
?When your grandson grows up, where can he borrow money from?"
"How much can we take care of you?" The old man scolded with a smile, looking at his infant grandson, his face softened, "I'll take care of you when I'm here, and the emperor will make the decision for you when I'm not here!"
At this moment, footsteps sounded outside.
Liu Jin came in with his head held high and his chest held high, followed by a group of eunuchs, but there were two strips of clear snot hanging on his nose, which was really ridiculous.
"Our darling grandson is here!" The old man laughed heartily, and then said angrily, "Caught a cold? Who will take care of you?"
Mei Liang, the manager of Kunning Palace, quickly apologized and said, "I am the one who is guilty. The prince kicked off the quilt last night and got cold when he woke up this morning. The person who was on night watch last night has been summoned to the honor room."
The old man wiped the six kilograms of snot with his sleeve and said coldly, "What are you doing with the useless stuff? You have to stop doing it? Find a place outside the palace..."
"Old Ancestor!" Liujin said, "I don't blame them. Slaves are human beings and they have to sleep at night. You can't punish your grandchildren heavily just because they catch a cold. This is unkind!"
"Ah, who taught you this?" the old man asked curiously.
"They are some great scholars from the Wenhua Palace. They teach their grandson how to live a good life in heaven. As a prince, he must be considerate of human life!"
"Our dear grandson is right!" As he said this, he lovingly held Liu Jin in his arms and said with a smile, "Look, this child is much smarter than his father when he was a child!"
Zhu Yunxi was helpless. He sat without saying anything, but he still couldn't avoid being scolded.
The old man pointed at Princess Nankang and introduced, "My dear grandson, this is your eleventh aunt!"
"Auntie!" Liujin called out sweetly, then grabbed a dumpling and put it in his mouth.
"Eat this, this one is hot, and the other one is cold, let me eat it!" the old man said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi, "............."
"Who is he?" Liu Jin broke away from the old man's arms and looked at the swaddled baby curiously.
"He is your nephew, and you are his uncle and cousin!" the old man said with a smile.
"Is he my grandson's eldest nephew?" The six-pound little face suddenly became solemn. He looked at the child again and pulled off the jade pendant from his waist. "Ancestor, can you give him a greeting gift?"
"Okay!" The old man laughed.
"Then I will thank the Crown Prince for our third child!" Princess Nankang also smiled from ear to ear.
At this time, footsteps came from outside again. Liu Jin looked outside and hid behind the old man.
"What are you doing?" the old man asked.
"Back to the Supreme Emperor, it's time for the Crown Prince to study!" Mei Liang said, "I'm here to pick up the Crown Prince!"
"Old Ancestor!" Liu Jin's little eyes rolled around and he pulled on the old man's sleeve, "My grandson is confused today, can you take a day off?" As he said that, he glanced at Zhu Yunxi quickly and hid behind the old man.
"Take a day off!" The old man waved his hand nonchalantly, "My child has become stupid after studying every day, so take a day off!"
After saying that, the old man spoke again, "We have been told that our grandsons in the capital will all come to the palace to meet our eldest grandson." Then he smiled and said, "In ordinary people, uncles don't recognize their nephews. , isn’t that a joke?”
Come on, don’t think about calming down in the palace today, it has become a nest of children!
~~
I said I was eating dumplings, but half the plate was cold.
Zhu Yunxi returned to Qianqing Palace, and as soon as he stepped into the Nuan Pavilion, he saw a high pile of memorials on the table.
After making tea and sitting down, I picked up the first book above, and my eyes suddenly showed surprise.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Zhen, prays for me. Since the emperor has ruled the world, He Qing, Hai, Yan, and the country are peaceful and the people are safe. I rely on the Holy Master Hong De to conquer Wuchang. It is approaching the end of this year..."
It was a memorial from the King of Chu, Zhu Zhen. For Zhu Yunxi, this memorial was a rare guest. What was even rarer was that the entire memorial was filled with disgusting boasts and flattery.
First, let’s talk about how the place became stable and prosperous because of the emperor’s benevolence, and then talk about the relationship between their uncle and nephew, and even more painfully remember the appearance of the late prince and brother.
Finally, there is gift giving.
The densely packed gift list contained more than a dozen carts of precious medicinal materials, not to mention those precious jade, silk and satin. You must know that the New Year gifts in previous years were just some local specialties.
This was the first time that Zhu Yunxi felt the favor of Chu King Zhu Zhen.
The memorial was casually put aside, and Zhu Yunxi tapped the table with his slender fingers, thinking to himself.
"Is he afraid of King Zhou's bad deeds? Or is he testing?"
"It should be a test. He is testing my attitude towards him and whether I have any thoughts on him now!"
Thinking about it, Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly. Among the vassal kings, King Zhou and King Chu were definitely sinister villains. But a King of Zhou had already made the old man unhappy, and then there was a King of Chu...
Then he picked up another book, which turned out to be a memorial to the feudal lord.
Ning Wang Zhu Quan also displayed a rare display of groveling and flattery in the memorial, and presented dozens of carts of precious annual gifts to the emperor for his acceptance.
"It seems that King Zhou's incident has made these vassal kings realize that the old man cannot protect them forever!"
With this in mind, Zhu Yunxi smiled indifferently and picked up another book.
"Chen Zhu Di played..."
"The fifth brother was deceived by a traitor and even disrespected the country and insulted his ancestors. I still ask the emperor to think of the ties of flesh and blood and punish his subordinates mercilessly..."
"If the emperor treats his uncle with kindness, then all the vassals in the world will be grateful. If the emperor does not care about the honor of his uncle, then all the vassals in the world will be disappointed!"
"Now among the vassal kings, I am the oldest..."
Zhu Di was interceding for Zhu Xi. He was interceding for all the feudal kings. He interceded as the oldest and most senior among the existing princes and feudal kings.
Zhu Yunxi was not polite and directly picked up the pen and wrote, "I know, my mind is on the military situation in Liaodong, and don't get involved in irrelevant things!"
The key point of this sentence is the last sentence, so don't get involved if it's irrelevant.
You, Zhu Di, have only just woken up for a few days, and you already started to want to be a good king? Do your own thing well first, don't think that your dream of being an emperor has been shattered, and then start thinking about being a good brother!
Putting down his pen, Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt something was wrong.
I looked through several memorials and found out how come they all belong to the feudal lord?
"Call Xin Yande in!" Zhu Yunxi said to the outside world.
After half a stick of incense, Xin Yande came to see him.
He is the General Secretary, in charge of the memorials of the ministers all over the world. Every day, he has to sort out the memorials handed in according to time, urgency and relief, and send them to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, do you want to call me?" Xin Yande saluted.
"How come the top ones of these folds belong to vassal kings from all over the country?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Xin Yande said, "Go back to the emperor, because these papers were delivered to the capital at midnight last night..."
"Wait a minute!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly interrupted him, "They are all...? Do you mean in no particular order?"
"Yes!" Xin Yande didn't have any expression on his face when he spoke, and he didn't know how to be tactful. "It's almost all about walking in front of you and behind your back."
Zhu Yunxi's expression became solemn. King Chu was in Wuchang, King Ning was far away in Daning beyond the Great Wall, and King Yan was more than 2,500 kilometers away from the capital...
But their discounts are almost all delivered to the capital within one day. Isn't it strange?
There is only one answer, and that is that the kings have private communication channels and then discuss the words...
~~
"It's so cold!"
The bastard stood outside the Nuan Pavilion, looking at the sky that seemed to be snowing again, rubbing his hands and thinking to himself.
Suddenly a young eunuch appeared behind him. This was his godson Wang Buquan. This child was only seventeen, and he was delicate and clean. Because he was raised as an orphan in a temple when he was a child, he knew some words, so he was humiliated by the bastard after he entered the palace.
After choosing Qianqing Palace, he even recognized his godson.
"Dad, people are here!" Wang Buquan said.
"Who is it?" The bastard was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that he didn't even put on his cloak and ran out of the palace.
Beside the end gate of Qianqing Palace, a man stood in front of a gilded water tank, one eye looking at the ground and the other looking at the water tank.
He stood there, seemingly integrated with the cold weather, his face completely covered by his blue cloak, making it difficult for people to see clearly.
"Sir, this way!" The bastard waved from a few steps away.
The man raised his head, his blue eyes darting around in his sockets, as if looking at the bastard, but the two eyes were looking at each other and could not come together.
The bastard shivered twice and whispered, "How long are you waiting for me?"
Here comes Qingyan Maoxiang.
He seems to be fatter than before, his previously square face has a double chin, and his cheeks are fuller.
Mao Xiang walked up to Wang Bashi and looked at him, "I haven't seen you for a while, Eunuch Wang!"
"You're too polite, I dare not call you the prince!" The bastard was ashamed to be around Zhu Yunxi. He had seen many ministers, princes, and princes, and he had dealt with them appropriately. But only this one made him feel uncomfortable and even more nervous when he saw him.
A little bit careful.
"What do you call me?" Mao Xiang stepped forward.
"How come you speak so smoothly!" The bastard took two steps back in shame.
"Then, let's call you Lao Wang, it will make you look more familiar!" Mao Xiang said.
"Haha, okay..." the bastard said shamefully, his face suddenly changed, and he cursed in his heart, "You are the old bastard!"
Suddenly, Mao Xiang turned around abruptly, and the two eyeballs that were not at the same level shocked the bastard.
"Guess what I saw on the way into the palace just now?" Mao Xiang asked.
The bastard took a step back and said, "How can this Zajia know where to go?"
"Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is sweeping the streets!" Mao Xiang said and suddenly smiled.
His smile almost made the bastard's hair stand on end, and he subconsciously asked, "What happened next?"
"Hehe!" Mao Xiang continued to smile, "I asked people to lead ten dogs and poop along the street he swept... Hahaha!"
"I'm afraid he's a lunatic!" Bastard took a few steps back, "Hurry up, don't keep the emperor waiting!"
~~
Outside the Imperial City, at the junction of Tieshishi Street and Chang'an Street.
Li Jinglong, who was carrying a broom, yelled at the dirt on the street, "Who is it? Who is so damn wicked? Come out? Come out if you have the guts?"
