It seems that there is a lot of reluctance for these grandchildren to leave.
Although the so-called emperor is said to be a loner, he is still a human being after all, and every human being is bound to have joys, sorrows and joys.
At this time, Zhang Anshi was in a daze, feeling that the person sitting in front of him was no longer the famous Emperor Yongle, nor the murderous Emperor of Ming Dynasty who always made him afraid, but just an ordinary old man.
That’s all.
The wrinkles at the corners of Zhu Di's eyes became more and more serious. He continued to sigh: "Zhang Qing, I will entrust them to you. No matter what, protect them."
Zhang Anshi was about to agree.
But I heard Zhu Zhanqi say: "Your Majesty, Sun Chen is already old. My uncle has to assist the emperor and his father, and also take care of Xinzhou. Sun Chen does not dare to trouble my uncle, so let Sun Chen do it himself."
Let me handle the affairs of the feudal state alone."
As soon as these words came out, the warmth in this family banquet suddenly disappeared.
These words sound very decent, and there is nothing wrong with worrying about my uncle's hard work.
But who is sitting here who is good at making mistakes? Even the youngest Zhu Zhanzhen, as the grandson of the emperor, is well aware of the connotation of these words.
It was obvious that Zhu Zhanqi was not at ease with Zhang Anshi. This time he went to the feudal town to join the feudal clan. On the one hand, he considered himself older and recognized his talents. On the other hand, he was also afraid that Zhang Anshi would manipulate him.
.
After all, Zhu Zhanquan was not born to Crown Princess Zhang. Although Zhang Anshi was nominally his uncle, in fact, Zhang Anshi had no blood relationship with him at all, let alone no emotional foundation since childhood.
In Zhu Zhanju's view, in the East Palace, he was a so-called bastard, and he always had to be humble. Now that he had finally reached adulthood and was about to go to the vassal state, if the emperor's grandfather allowed Zhang Anshi, his uncle, to interfere with his power again and guide him in everything.
, what’s the point? This uncle has selfish motives, how can I trust him completely?
Therefore, you must resolutely refuse now, and only in this way can you be freed from a tightrope in the future.
Naturally, he would never dare to say anything sarcastic in front of Grandpa Huang, so he carefully selected his words and sentences to say such high-sounding words, which not only maintained the harmony on the surface, but also showed his firm attitude.
.
Zhu Di squinted his eyes, pursed his lips slightly, and stared at Zhu Zhanyu, as if he was weighing something.
Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting next to him, looked slightly unhappy.
But Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanyong, two heartless people, seemed to be happy to see their uncle suffer, with smiles on their faces. As if to say, his uncle also suffered from depression.
On the other hand, Zhu Zhanyin, who was born from the same mother as Zhu Zhanyu, looked at his second brother intently with a somewhat worried look.
Zhang Anshi was a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head to drink water and wine to hide himself.
After a long time, Zhu Di spoke slowly and said, "Really? Is this your idea?"
The voice was neither soft nor serious, as if he was saying something ordinary.
But as soon as these words came out, Zhu Zhanquan was startled, and a trace of panic flashed across his face.
Obviously, Grandpa Huang suddenly asked these words, which directly frightened Zhu Zhancui.
What he expected was that he was His Majesty's grandson. As a grandson, he was also preparing to submit to the vassal state. On this occasion of parting, even if he rejected this 'good intention', Grandpa Huang would never blame him.
But despite all his efforts, he didn't expect that for his grandfather, his way of thinking was beyond Zhu Zhanchen's expectations.
Of course Zhu Di would not blame his grandson, but Zhu Zhanquan's words made Zhu Di wary.
What he meant by this was, was this your own idea? Or was it someone who taught you something?
And who can teach Zhu Zhanjun who lives in the East Palace?
It is obviously impossible for those masters who teach them to read and write, because the scholars who teach the emperors and grandsons are by no means the only one who teaches Zhu Zhancheng, and they cannot have any special preference for Zhu Zhancheng. They do not have such courage.
, and would never have such a wish.
As for those eunuchs and palace maids, obviously the possibility is not high. They are a group of servants, many of whom are illiterate. It is expected that they can say something that can be accepted by Zhu Zhancheng. This possibility is also
Very little.
Zhu Di obviously almost pointed at Zhu Zhanqun's nose and asked, is this your mother-in-law, Li, who is causing trouble behind your back?
Therefore, when Zhu Zhanjun heard this, he suddenly began to sweat profusely. He squeezed his palms that were already sweating, tried hard to steady his mind, and said tremblingly: "This is Sun Chen's own idea, Sun Chen
...I just feel sorry for my uncle..."
Zhu Di curled his lips and laughed.
Zhang Anshi sat aside and glanced at Zhu Di.
He knew Zhu Di well.
If Zhu Zhanquan quickly admitted his mistake at this time, then Zhu Di would not continue to ask about this matter. After all... he would not be as knowledgeable as a child.
However, Zhu Zhanjuan subconsciously continued to quibble, but he really made a big mistake.
This kind of sophistry is the level of strong arguments in popular dramas. For a person of Zhu Di's level to use this kind of sophistry, it is almost equivalent to insulting Zhu Di's IQ.
Zhu Di smiled, but he was obviously really angry.
Zhang Anshi didn't want to make him unhappy, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, forget it, Zhanju is still young. When I was a child, I was even more confused than him!"
Zhu Di sneered and said: "It's like this at a young age, but it's even worse when you get older."
There is a lot of mockery in this statement.
However, I don't know if Zhang Anshi's persuasion had an effect. Although Zhu Di looked cold, he said: "You don't need Zhang Qing's family to protect you, so it's all up to you. I have decreed that you are King Zheng, so what about the Zheng Kingdom?"
It's up to you to make your own decisions."
Zhu Zhanjuan was frightened, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief and kowtowed: "Sun Chen, thank you for your grace."
Zhu Di then said: "Your mother-in-law...is she Li Zhaoxun?"
Zhu Zhanchen shivered and said, "Yes...yes..."
The prince's wives and concubines also have different levels, such as the main concubine and the side concubine. In addition, there are concubines and so on. Under these, there are Fengyi, Zhaoxun, Chenghui, Liangyuan, Liang
Di waits for the account to be blocked.
Mothers have always been valued more than their sons, and this Li family gave birth to two sons, Zhu Zhanchuan and Zhu Zhanyin, for the prince. Logically speaking, even if they cannot be promoted to concubines, they can at least be promoted to concubines. However, they are still just one.
The little Zhaoxun shows how low her status was before this. (I mentioned earlier that Li was a concubine, but now it has been changed to Zhaoxun)
Zhu Di just sighed and said, "How is she doing?"
Zhu Zhanyu said: "Shang... Shanghao..."
Zhu Di said: "Her two sons are about to go to Fusang to join the feudal clan. I'm afraid she will be thinking about it very much by then. It might as well be so. I will be merciful and allow them to leave the East Palace and follow you two brothers to Fusang to support them."
, take care of yourself as long as you can."
Zhu Di said and glanced sideways at Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting still.
But Zhu Zhanquan suddenly had mixed feelings. Logically speaking, it was a grace to go to the feudal town to support him, but in such cases, permission would usually be given after his father died.
Taking his father to the feudal state while his father was still alive was almost equivalent to being exiled. This also meant that no one in the Ming Dynasty would have anything to do with the two brothers, and no one would serve as emperor.
, or perhaps beside the prince, speaking for the two brothers.
But the decision Grandpa Huang made now clearly made him wary of their mother.
His heart sank, but he could only say: "Sun Chen... thank you for your grace."
Zhu Di only raised his hand and said calmly: "Okay, I'm tired, just wait... go down, the day after tomorrow will be an auspicious day..."
He did not continue speaking, showing a tired look.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi stood up in a hurry, took Zhang Anshi and his sons and said, "I'll leave."
…………
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanyong almost staggered around with laughter, showing no signs of princely style.
Aren't the two of them just in a happy mood?
Zhang Anshi, who came out of the palace, glared at them and said angrily: "What are you laughing at? You have no conscience."
When Zhu Zhanyong saw that Zhang Anshi was really angry, he immediately showed a pitiful look and said: "Ah...uncle...don't laugh, I won't laugh..."
Zhang Anshi said: "Hey, it's true that a dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart. It's pity that my heart is illuminated by the moon, but the moon is full of ditches."
"Uncle... don't say it, don't say it, your words are sour." Zhu Zhanyong said, "If uncle does this again, I can't help but laugh."
Zhang Anshi waved his hand and said: "You two guys, you have to keep up the good work and take a look at other people's children. Although that kid Zhanjuan doesn't know a good heart, at least I heard that he does his homework well and is honest on weekdays.
Look at you two again, hey...my poor sister, one of the things she was born with is not as good as the other, she is so sad."
Zhu Zhanyong pouted and said: "I will talk to my mother and concubine later..."
Zhu Zhanzhen said in a dog-legged manner: "Uncle, I didn't laugh at you."
Zhang Anshi continued: "You are about to become a vassal. I don't know how sad I will be when the time comes. Fortunately, you can laugh now, you are really heartless!"
Having said this, he sighed and said: "Well, your uncle has been very busy these past two days, and he must... set a rule for you, so that you can live a good life as a vassal in the future.
Pass."
"Articles?" Zhu Zhanyong blinked and said, "Uncle, what we want is not the articles of association. It would be better for us to give you some more money."
Zhang Anshi sneered and said: "Don't worry, you won't be short of money, but my uncle is still hoping to get some autumn wind from you. Money is a trivial matter now, but the most important thing now is to teach you how to spend it well."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said as he walked: "Let's go. I'll see you again tomorrow."
After that, he boarded the carriage that came to pick him up without looking back.
In the evening of the next day, Zhang Anshi arrived at the East Palace.
Far away, from Princess Zhang's bedroom, I heard some sad voices, which were nothing more than the words of my mother's repeated instructions.
Zhang Anshi went in and bowed.
However, Mrs. Zhang was in tears at this time. When she saw Zhang Anshi coming, she held back her tears. Her tearful eyes seemed to have something to say to Zhang Anshi, and she waved her hand to let Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanyong, who were kneeling at their feet, go down.
The two of them also had their heads drooped at this time, and their faces were no longer heartless. They seemed to have cried, and there were still some traces of tears on their faces.
As soon as the two left, Mrs. Zhang sighed: "I am lucky to marry here, but I don't know if it is unfortunate to have such a young child."
Zhang Anshi said with relief: "Sister, you are not young anymore. If nothing else, Zhan Yong's child is about to be born..."
Mrs. Zhang said: "Don't always insist on saying something back when I say something."
"Oh, oh." Zhang Anshi nodded hurriedly.
Mrs. Zhang added: "The preparations here at the East Palace are almost complete. You...you need to be prepared at your place. Fusang's place...even if it is really good, it is far from as good as at home. I am a woman in matters related to the vassal state."
I don’t know much about it, but as an uncle, you need to be more considerate."
Zhang Anshi said: "Sister, don't worry, I have prepared everything. If I take care of them both, I will be countless times happier than other vassal kings in the future."
Mrs. Zhang glared at him and said, "Stop talking so glibly. I just want them to be safe. What's the use of being happy?"
Zhang Anshi quickly changed the subject and said: "Sister, then Li Zhaoxun is going to Fusang too."
Mrs. Zhang calmed down at this time and said calmly: "We are getting ready."
Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said cautiously: "Fortunately, His Majesty is wise, otherwise, I look at Li Zhaoxun, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp..."
Mrs. Zhang sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "Of all the people in the palace, which one can save fuel?"
Zhang Anshi was stunned by this sentence.
Then he said angrily: "Sister, actually, I haven't lost much face in this matter, I'm just worried..."
But Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Worried? What are you worried about? How can I see that you are instigating something?"
"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhang Anshi said hurriedly.
Mrs. Zhang immediately said: "You must be thinking that her mother-in-law must have instigated Zhu Zhanjun to behave like this, right? Hey... you... you guessed it right. You don't think about it either. Your sister is the one who instigated this."
She is the concubine of the East Palace. In the future, she will have a mother who respects the world. Her own child, Zhu Zhanji, will be the successor to the throne. And there is a brother like you. Among the concubines in the various courtyards of the East Palace, every one of them is jealous and jealous.
hatred?"
"This is the human heart. If a person is perfect, how can he not teach others to hold grudges? However, some people can appear friendly and respectful on the surface, but they are careful and dare not show it. And some people can't hide it, so they inevitably show it.
It's just a trick. Anshi, this is how people are in the world. There is always happiness and suffering. Since you have to understand other people's thoughts and not be easily deceived by others, you must also know what is hidden in every face in this world.
Such thoughts."
"Teaching you to know other people's intentions is not to make you resentful because of it. You have to covet other people's thoughts and then develop resentment and murderous thoughts. If so, can you kill all the people in this world? With insight,
The heart just teaches you to be alert at all times and not to be easily confused by the words or flattery of people around you, making you ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth."
"In this world, there are many people who can see into people's hearts. But after seeing through people's hearts, there are very few who can be calm and indifferent. There are many people in the world who are smart and can always guess other people's thoughts. But just because they have
This intelligence, on the contrary, fell into paranoia, always feeling that the human heart is so terrifying, so he became more and more insidious and vicious, but he did not know that when he became more and more sinister, on the contrary... the person who really caused harm was not others, but himself.
"
"You just taught me to be careful. In fact, over the years, I have not known the thoughts of those people below. But now that I know their thoughts, I can calm down. Why do you think so?"
Zhang Anshi didn't expect that Sister would actually talk to him about the truth, so he said: "Sister, just say it, don't show off, we are siblings, and I'm not here to listen to books."
Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and her face became calmer: "This is because people who can really achieve great things and stand out from others often need to be tolerant of others. Don't worry about some small things, as long as they are up and down.
The people below just don’t interfere with my business.”
Zhang Anshi said: "What is my serious business?"
Zhang said: "To say it is the country of the Ming Dynasty is an exaggeration. What can happen to me, a woman? The most important thing around me is always the prince, a few children, and you, my brother! As long as
Don't really harm you. Others can pretend to be ignorant and treat them leniently. But if the people and things that worry you can't live in peace, then..."
Mrs. Zhang was talking very calmly, but here, her tone was quite high-pitched, saying: "The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty is not weak and can be bullied."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Hey...sister...she is the same as me. I am also like this on weekdays."
Mrs. Zhang said: "As for the Li Zhaoxun you just mentioned, she is a woman, but she is too stupid. She cannot be acquainted with such a person. You... don't talk about what happened yesterday. The whole family...
After all, we are a family. We, the Zhang family, are now at this point. As long as we don’t offend our fundamentals, we might as well be more open-minded. Many times, our siblings do things not for ourselves, but for others to see. Know that.
Yet?"
Zhang Anshi said hurriedly: "Yes, yes."
Zhang said: "Though the two brothers Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanyin are not my flesh and blood, they are still the emperor's grandsons after all. When they see me, they still have to call me mother. For this, you can
Don't cause trouble for them."
Zhang Anshi said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Mrs. Zhang then called out again: "Here comes someone."
After a while, a eunuch crept in and said, "What are your orders?"
Mrs. Zhang said: "Are you ready for the gift that you are told to go down? Li Zhaoxun is not in good health. It will not be easy for him to follow his son to become a feudal lord. I have to bring more medicine. This is not only to fulfill my wishes as a sister, but also to teach others."
She's very thorough along the way."
"Mother, everything is ready."
"Send it away." Mrs. Zhang said, "I'll go see her at night."
