"Do you think I'm setting you up again? Is it because I want you to do something, so I'm trying to trick you with nice words?"
"I would never dare!"
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Gaochi, smiled and raised his hand to fill both of them with wine.
Then he sighed slightly, "I admit, sometimes I am not very kind to you! But, actually, there is no bad intention, right?" As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi suddenly stretched out his hand and touched Zhu Gaochi's fleshy three-tiered chin.
Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi blushed. He never expected that the emperor would behave like this towards him.
Even though it was intimacy, it seemed a bit... like teasing a child.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, his face turned from normal red to monkey butt.
Zhu Yunxi smiled, reached out and pinched Zhu Gaochi's chubby cheeks hard.
"Actually, I tease you most of the time." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Why do I tease you? I just think the way your little eyes roll around is very endearing. How should I put it, are you particularly willing to get close to me?
Are you someone who always wants to bully and bully him and make him feel weak?"
Zhu Gaochi's cheeks were red and his whole body was stiff.
Ever since he was a child, it seems that no one has ever treated him like this except his father.
"Hong Xi, I really regard you as a brother. Among the grandchildren of our Zhu family, I also think highly of you the most!" Zhu Yunxi took a sip of wine and continued, "Why do you look up to you? Because you are a responsible and responsible person.
A generous person. If we just talk about character, you are better than me!"
"I don't dare!" Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses and lowered his head and said.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Take your family as an example. You are the eldest brother. You are sincere and attentive to your two younger brothers." As he said, he sighed, "Don't say it's a family like ours.
Even in a wealthy family, how many brothers can be like this? Maybe it was fine when I was a child, but when I grow up and have more selfishness and family ties, it will be different, right?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi smiled again, "The reason why I value you is also envy!"
Zhu Gaochi's little eyes rolled around, very bright, "What do you envy me?"
"My parents are healthy, and my brothers are deeply affectionate." Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and played with the yellow-glazed flower wine glass in his hand, "You know, I lost my mother when I was very young, and I lost my father when I was very young. The so-called biological brothers are not born from the same mother.
Yes, because of this position, I am like an enemy!"
Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi felt a little sad.
He looked at Zhu Yunxi's profile and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but his mind went blank and he didn't know where to start.
"After all these years, who else have I got besides Grandpa Huang? Ha!" Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, "Look at you, although the second and third children in your family are troubled, they usually make noises or quarrels with you. But...but that said
When you come back, you can fight among your own brothers as much as you want, but do outsiders dare to interfere?"
"You usually let them go, but you also control them. Although they sometimes jump up and down with you, when something really happens, they still have to listen to you, the big brother!"
"Hey, how wonderful!" Zhu Yunxi sighed again, "There is someone to discuss everything. When you are cold, hot, or sick, someone will care about you. Even if you die, there will be someone who really cries a few times, right?"
Zhu Gaochi didn't speak again. He didn't know how to speak.
Because he couldn't express what was in his heart. The reason why the brothers had a deep love for each other was because they were both sons of vassals, not the emperor.
If it is true, as Zhu Yunxi said, that their father, King Yan Zhu Di, is the emperor, the three brothers... may not be in much harmony.
People will lose whatever they gain.
Human nature will always undergo fundamental changes with changes in status.
Emotion is not only love, but also hate.
"It is for these reasons that I keep you by my side. I know you are sometimes on guard against me..."
Zhu Gaochi was suddenly startled again and said quickly, "What's the matter!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhu Yunxi took the wine glass and touched it with Zhu Gaochi, "Aren't you guarding me?"
"Hehe, hehe, ha!" Zhu Gaochi was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
"You are on guard against me because you are afraid that I will make you take the blame!" His look made Zhu Yunxi laugh.
The next second, Zhu Yunxi slowly suppressed his smile, "But Hong Xi, I told you that with your talent, just being a vassal king who eats and waits for death, isn't that a dereliction of your talent?"
"You can't be a good king. You know that I won't let you be like my fourth uncle in the future, and you are not as handsome as him who can command thousands of troops. But I believe that in civil and government affairs, you are outstanding!
"
"Why are you here today? You always praise me, which makes me embarrassed!"
Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and thought to himself.
Then he looked into Zhu Yunxi's eyes again, "He doesn't seem to be looking for me to take the blame or do bad things today! But what he said today makes him feel so uncomfortable?"
"I sincerely hope that you can treat me as a brother. In the war, brothers go into battle and father and son are soldiers. If you help me, we can make this Ming Dynasty more prosperous and prosperous. How great!" Zhu Yunxi took another sip of wine, "
Brothers work together to cut through gold, we will live up to the emperor's hard work, and we will live up to the people of the world. We will live up to our own lives!"
Zhu Gaochi raised his head again, his eyes a little more moved.
But then his eyes fell on the thick book again.
"Hey!" He sighed in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, I also want to help you! But sometimes..."
"Sometimes I let you take the blame and make you the bad guy, right?" Zhu Yunxi laughed, "Hong Xi! There are actually many people who can do these things, why do I choose you?"
Zhu Gaochi shook his head, curled his lips, and drooped his eyelids.
"I like you and value you, but are these two things enough to enter the South Study? Are they enough to become the future minister of the king?" Zhu Yunxi stared at Zhu Gaochi's face, "If you want to help me, you have to
..." As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi clicked on the thick book and said, "Draw a clear line!"
Zhu Gaochi's heart trembled violently, and then cold sweat started to flow down again.
"Don't worry, I came to you today just to gossip! There is someone more suitable for this dirty thing than you!" Zhu Yunxi took a chopstick of spring bamboo shoots and chewed them crunchily, "But there are things that are more difficult than dirty things.
Behind the scenes, I want you to do it!"
"minister....."
"The Zongzheng of our Zhu family must be you!" Zhu Yunxi patted the other party's shoulder and sighed, "Hey, how will we arrange for so many dragons and grandsons in the future? How to arrange them? Even if they are all taken care of, what if
What I have done is too great, am I worthy of Grandpa Huang?"
He didn't need to do this dirty work! But Zhu Gaochi didn't feel relaxed at all, but became nervous.
Because he understood, the emperor gave him a greater burden.
The strange thing is that this time he didn't have any slander in his heart, but became worried the moment the emperor finished speaking.
"State affairs are easy to handle, but family affairs are unpredictable!" Zhu Yunxi patted Zhu Gaochi on the shoulder again, "If I can't take part in family affairs, then the state affairs will definitely be confused! Therefore, family affairs, our family's family affairs, will be in the future.
please!"
After speaking, Zhu Yunxi picked up the wine glass.
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly held the cup with both hands, "I...it is my duty to do so!"
In fact, he wanted to say that the minister was too stupid to bear the heavy responsibility, but unexpectedly, he agreed at the end of the sentence.
The two brothers drank it all in one gulp, and then Zhu Yunxi stood up and walked to the railing again.
"What were you talking about when you came here just now? The scenery is endless, the country is great!" Zhu Yunxi laughed and said, "Haha, you and I, brothers, can't do anything while sitting on the great country. We must be better than our predecessors!"
