"When did you three brothers enter Beijing?"
In Lezhizhai, Zhu Yunxi, who was behind the case, smiled and asked Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting in front of him.
Hearing this, the latter quickly raised half of his buttocks and said, "I entered the city at dawn this morning. After freshening up, I hurriedly came to see Banzai!"
"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk!" Zhu Yunxi looked gentle and slowly pressed his hands. He hadn't seen Zhu Gaochi for a long time and seemed to be a little fatter. His broad body was sitting on a round stool, which looked awkward.
The carved and hollow round stool was less than half the size of his butt.
"Come here, change the chair for Prince Yan!" Zhu Yunxi continued with a smile.
"Don't dare, don't dare, how can I have a minister in front of Long Live..."
Seeing Zhu Gaochi's panic, Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Okay, don't be so polite to me. You are so fat, sit on a stool, and I will be tired even if you are not tired." He continued to smile, "It's all.
There is no need for me to be so restrained in private!"
The bastard helped Zhu Gaochi move the chair with his own hands, "Your Majesty, please!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Gaochi smiled politely.
"How is your father doing?" Zhu Yunxi continued to ask, "He gave me some information, saying that after the autumn, he led the army to sweep the border fortress. However, the results of the battle were not reported. Was it another victory or an empty battle?
?”
"Back to the emperor, it was all in vain!" Zhu Gaochi still had a kind smile on his face, "The Tatars also know that after the autumn harvest, the Ming Dynasty will gather a large army at the border fortress. If they cannot defeat them, they can only retreat three feet.
.”
It has always been the autumn when the Hu people went south, but there is a world of difference between resisting the enemy outside the city and resisting the enemy outside the country's gate.
The old man's rule was that instead of waiting for them to come, let's fight them out. Before they can attack our grass valley, let's set up a horse riding camp first.
He was beaten every year until he dared not come.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi continued, "After my father led the troops to inspect the border fortress, he received the emperor's order, so he let the three brothers go first. My father joined the army with King Ning, and then rushed to the capital!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi nodded.
The other party's words were telling him that my father was very obedient, and he would do it if you asked him to trick Prince Ning.
"The reason why I called you back to Beijing is to celebrate the old man's birthday. Life is rare in seventy years. Even the children and grandchildren of ordinary people have to make a big deal for the old man, not to mention our Zhu family!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "The old man has worked hard all his life.
At this time, our Zhu family is prosperous, and our children and grandchildren must be filial!"
"The Emperor's benevolence and filial piety move the world!" Zhu Gaochi stood up and said.
"You're not very good at flattering us." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "What's so touching? We are all juniors. Isn't it natural to be filial to our elders?"
After saying that, he paused and said, "I have entrusted the preparations for the old man's birthday to Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao. Now among all the kings and uncles, your father, King Yan, is the eldest. So, as the eldest son of King Yan, how about you be the guest of honor for this birthday?"
?”
"I obey the decree!"
Although the emperor meant to ask in the end, how could he, Zhu Gaochi, dare to say no.
The so-called "knowledge of guests" refers to a real butler who welcomes guests, takes them to the table, and takes care of all the miscellaneous things.
"Cao Guogong is a relative and he is in charge of the outside world. You are the emperor's grandson and you are in charge of the inside!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "I always want the old man to have a happy birthday!"
"Is the old man happy? What about me?"
Zhu Gaochi complained in his heart that the job of being the chief steward of the celebration was not easy. Their three brothers were the earliest among the vassal kings. When the vassal kings returned to the capital, he would have to come out to entertain and accommodate them.
"I'll lose ten pounds if I can't do it!" Zhu Gaochi sighed in his heart.
As if he could read what he was thinking, Zhu Yunxi said sternly, "Don't underestimate this Zhike's job. Most people can't believe it." After saying that, he paused and said, "Your father, King Yan, is the oldest now. According to the
You are the oldest among the imperial grandsons who have not yet been knighted."
"If a family wants to be harmonious and prosperous, the elders and younger ones must be in order, and brothers, friends, and brothers must be respectful. Our Zhu family is a heavenly family. The children of each house are thousands of miles apart, and we rarely see each other more than once in a lifetime."
"People of our generation may still know each other, but people of the next generation may not even know their names. When we meet, we have to look up the family tree first to know whether we are uncles or brothers."
"So, it's very important for you to be a good friend. You want to keep your brothers and nephews in harmony, and you also have to warn and restrict their behavior in the capital. Do you understand?"
"I obey the decree!" Zhu Gaochi quickly saluted.
But I thought to myself, "I can't even control the second and third children in my family, so who should I care about?"
"Besides, even after the birthday ceremony, don't be in a hurry to go back, I still have things for you to do!" Zhu Yunxi nodded again.
Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi's heart skipped a beat.
"You can't catch a lame man and kick him to death. What's the matter?"
He cursed secretly in his heart, but said helplessly and respectfully, "Your Majesty, if you have an order, I will do it!"
"It's not a big deal!" Zhu Yunxi said with a faint smile, "Maybe I need you to go to sea."
"Ah!" Zhu Gaochi couldn't hold on any longer, his legs suddenly became weak and his voice was distorted, "Your Majesty, I haven't been able to swim since I was a child..."
Zhu Yunxi suppressed a smile, "I'm not asking you to swim in the sea, I'm asking you to take a boat!"
As he said this, he picked up a memorial and shook it, "The famous mountain name of the Japanese Kingdom of Japan is writing to invite the imperial envoy of the Celestial Dynasty to visit."
This is not Zhu Yunxi's words, but it is true. Shan Mingjia has secretly contacted many princes who opposed the shogunate. As the saying goes, everything is ready, only the east wind is needed.
Dongfeng is a legitimate banner.
And the Ming Dynasty, which conferred the title of King of Japan, happened to have this upright banner. It clears the emperor's side and punishes the rebellious parties.
However, just shouting slogans is not enough for Da Ming. It requires several powerful figures to meet with Shan Mingjie and others.
As a member of the royal family, the grandson of the founding emperor, the eldest son of a vassal prince, and the emperor's cousin, Zhu Gaochi is really the best candidate if weight is excluded.
"I dare to take the liberty of asking you to go to sea..." Zhu Gaochi was really panicked.
"Not far." Zhu Yunxi said lightly, "When the old man's birthday passes, I will ask He Guangyi to explain to you and be responsible for the specific matters!" As he said, he looked at Zhu Gaochi seriously, "You are three months older than me.
, he is my cousin according to his seniority."
"I don't dare!" Zhu Gaochi didn't know what Zhu Yunxi was going to say, so he knelt down quickly.
Zhu Yunxi stood up from behind the imperial court and said, "I remember that you also studied in Wenhua Hall when you were a child. Even the emperor's grandfather was full of praise for your talent, learning and character."
"I feel ashamed of myself!"
"There is no need to be self-effacing. Being too self-effacing is hypocrisy." Zhu Yunxi stood in front of him with his hands behind his back. "You are a very talented person. My father is in his prime, so you plan to remain an idle son?"
"If you had something to do, you wouldn't be so fat!"
"I often lament that there are too few talents around me. You have talent, knowledge, character, and valuable status, but you can't do much on the Yanfan border. Why don't you come to me."
"The great country given by our ancestors is the time for you and me to show our talents. Help me to be both a wise king and a wise prime minister. Isn't it a good story for the ages?"
"Who are you talking about?"
Zhu Gaochi cursed loudly in his heart. Why didn't he understand what Zhu Yunxi meant? From now on, he would just work as an errand beside the emperor. Do something dirty and offensive, and since your status is here, the most you can get is scolding.
But while he was scolding in his heart, all he could do with his mouth was a fearful and grateful expression.
"I said this because I was really afraid that you would be buried." Zhu Yunxi said earnestly, "It would be a pity if a good man is so ignorant that he cannot leave his name in history!"
As he said that, he patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "Let's go see the old man. Now that he's in Beijing, we can't hide it from him!"
