The old man talked a lot today. He talked about this for a long time and talked a lot about that.
All the children and grandchildren came forward and knelt in front of him one by one, listening to him saying almost the same words.
The old people talk about the same thing to their children. When they meet their children and grandchildren, no old man will say anything about whether they want you to be rich, prosperous, earn a lot of money, or have great power. They all say that you should be a good person, pay attention to your health, and be kind to others.
Even the emperor is no exception.
"As I grow up, what I have said to my grandfather is not as much as what I did just now!"
The three brothers of Prince Yan's family were the first to come forward. At this moment, they were whispering together at their table. The second brother, Zhu Gaoxu, said, "When my grandfather saw me in the past, his eyes immediately stood up. Today, he actually smiled at me and even talked to me.
I told you not to be so reckless, to study well with the university, and to be a humble gentleman!"
"The old man is really mistaken. What kind of gentleman is the boss? Have you ever seen such a fat gentleman?" Zhu Gaosui, the third child, chuckled mischievously.
"Shut up, I realized why you are talking nonsense without saying anything?" Zhu Gaochi glared at him and reprimanded, "You don't even look at the occasion when you speak?"
"No one heard it!" Zhu Gaosui looked around. The other vassal princes and grandsons were surrounding the old man. Their three brothers were a little lonely, and then he rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "The old man just said that after his birthday, all of us will
Go back to the fiefdom. You said you came all this way and just wish you a happy birthday and then go back?"
"Third brother!" Zhu Gaochi heard this, shook his head and sighed, "You are really spoiled, and you don't think about anything."
Zhu Gaosui was immediately unhappy and said, "Boss, why are you burying me again?"
"You are saying that the emperor asked us uncles and brothers to come all the way to Beijing just to celebrate his birthday? The thirteenth uncle and the seventeenth uncle came with their children. Do you think it is easy for the mountains to be high and the roads to be far away?"
Zhu Gaosui was confused and looked at Zhu Gaoxu in confusion, only to find that the latter was deep in thought.
"How many years have we, the Zhu family, not been reunited like this?" Zhu Gaochi took a light sip of wine and said softly.
"It's not the Chinese New Year!" Zhu Gaosui pouted.
"Just think of it as the Chinese New Year!" Zhu Gaochi sighed, looked at the smiling emperor sitting next to the old man, and said softly, "Before, I also murmured in my heart why the old man valued him so much, but now I understand!"
"Boss, what did you say?" The two brothers didn't hear clearly.
Zhu Gaochi put down his wine glass and said seriously, "Seventy years of life are rare. To put it bluntly, it only lasts once..."
If you haven't finished speaking, no matter how stupid these two brothers are, they will understand that once you have passed it, you will lose it.
"The children and grandchildren of the Zhu family are all far away from the capital. If something really goes wrong one day... who can come back? Even if they can come back, can they talk to each other again?"
The meaning of the words, to be precise, is that I can't come back in time to say the last words to the old man.
"This kind of thing, if you are a child, you may not have any regrets. It will be over after crying twice. But the old man..." Zhu Gaochi sighed, "Do you still remember our grandpa?"
"In the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, my grandfather returned to Beijing after falling ill from Peking. When he was dying, he was still talking about his old uncle who was no longer around. My mother said that at that time, my grandfather couldn't speak, so he just looked at the door eagerly, staring!
"
Yes, he is right.
In fact, this is the greatest significance of this feast.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't let the old man have any regrets. He didn't want the old man to be still talking about not seeing his son and grandchildren that day.
That is truly unfilial.
"I'll go over and have a few words with the imperial grandfather!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly stood up and walked toward the throne with red eyes.
~~
"Father, you have lost weight!"
King Zhu Zhi of the Liao Dynasty was an emotional and filial man. He took the old man's hand and stroked it, "Son...Son, when you come back, can I stay with you more?"
"No!" The old man looked at his son's clear eyes and felt warm in his heart. "You are the King of Sai in Liaodong. You lead the army and manage the people to suppress the Tatars who are not subject to the control of the heaven. Military and national affairs are important."
"But son..."
Seeing his father's aging appearance, Zhu Zhi suppressed the sobs in his heart and said with a smile, "During the winter, the Jurchens in Liaodong got a few ferocious tigers, so my son sent someone to send them to the capital. Tiger bones are the best medicinal materials and can strengthen the body."
To keep healthy. There are also ginseng, used to make wine for my father!"
"Okay, let's wait for the wine our fifteenth son brings us!" The old man laughed happily.
As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi beside him and said, "Dasun, go down and have a look. We'll see if there's no lively eating and drinking today, so let them relax!"
Zhu Yunxi knew that the old man had something to say to his children and grandchildren alone. With him as the emperor here, the old man could not open his mouth.
He could also think of what the old man was going to say, which should be to remind these dragon sons and grandsons that you should restrain yourself from now on, pay attention to your words and deeds, and be a good person.
"Yes, my grandson will come back as soon as he goes!"
~~~~~~
The ministers in the palace were still somewhat restrained. The emperor's birthday was a state banquet, and they had to abide by the etiquette.
Even those noble warriors who founded the country were unable to lively because of their age.
They are also getting older, and the big bowls they used to drink from have been replaced by jade cups.
As soon as Zhu Yunxi walked down the imperial steps, the bastard came up to him and said, "Long live my lord, Marshal Lan just told the slave that he wants to see you!"
On the old man's birthday, Lan Yu naturally came and sat with the Chang family.
"Where are the people?"
"We're waiting in the side hall!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded and went straight to the side hall without anyone following him.
"Your Majesty, Lan Yu, come to see the Emperor!"
"There are no outsiders, no need to be polite!" There were only two of them, the emperor and his ministers, in the side hall. Zhu Yunxi looked at each other with a smile, "I haven't asked you for a long time, how are you recovering from your illness?"
As he spoke, he observed Lan Yu's face, feeling a little bitter in his heart.
The other party's face was filled with deep grayness and lacked any vitality.
Lan Yu smiled bitterly, "It's still like that. I won't be able to die for a while, and living will not be happy. I don't know what happened after winter, and my chest was so tight that I couldn't sleep all night."
"I often sit on the kang for the whole night."
He said that Zhu Yunxi knew all this. Not only did he sit still, Lan Yu's habit of coughing and vomiting blood recurred, and he was now very thin and out of shape.
"It's probably because of the weather. It's been extremely cold this winter!" Zhu Yunxi thought about it and smiled, "Your son Lan Chun is now serving as the chief military officer in Guangzhou. I give you a decree to keep you warm there and recuperate.
Take care of your body, and secondly, you will be reunited with your flesh and blood!"
Lan Yu is also old and suffering from aches and pains.
Although the capital is good, he still endures loneliness. It would be better to reunite him with his descendants so that he can enjoy family happiness.
"I thank the Emperor for your kindness, but...I don't want to go to Guangzhou." Lan Yu thought for a moment and said.
"Then tell me where you are going!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Come, sit down and talk."
Lan Yu did not move, but bowed and saluted, "I heard that Yunnan is using troops, and I want to serve in the army." As he said this, his tone became hurried, as if he was afraid that Zhu Yunxi would not agree, "When the expedition was killed, I was the deputy general. That way.
I'm familiar with you, and the warriors over there also know how to fight."
"You, you couldn't sit still when I heard that we were going to use troops." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "It's not that I won't let you go, but you are not in good health. If you get there, if you don't adapt to the climate..." He said with a smile.
, "The troops over there are under the command of Muchun, with He Fu and others as deputy generals. It's no mistake that they are all veterans..."
"Your Majesty!" Lan Yu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, "My lord, would you rather die on the battlefield?"
