"See for yourselves, how many hours have it been? Has that person seen you?"
In front of the mourning hall, Zhu Rui was still digging holes and lighting fires for the vassal kings. "You asked people to report to him and said that they wanted to hear about the arrangements for the old man's death, but they didn't pay attention to you at all and just left you alone!"
Having said this, Zhu Zhu glanced at the expressions of the surrounding vassal kings and continued, "Why did he do this? This is to show you power! I'm telling you the ugly things up front, but your hard days are still to come!
Humph, where is this?"
The more Zhu Zhen and Zhu Su listened, the more annoyed they became, with faces full of anger.
"Hey, when eldest brother was here, he didn't treat us brothers like this. Think about it, every time we came to Beijing from the fiefdom, eldest brother didn't treat us warmly?" Zhu Xi added, "First, there was the state banquet at Jinshen Hall,
Then came the private banquet at Chunhe Palace, and then the family banquet. Brothers and sisters are so warm-hearted. Not only did they not act like princes, but the sister-in-law was also on duty to take care of our meals! Now, haha! What a good day.
Let’s go over there. From now on, let’s stay under someone else’s roof and see how they look. Hey!”
The anger in the eyes of Zhu Zhen and Zhu Shu was ready to come out. They were not good-tempered people to begin with, and their anger could no longer be contained.
"Fifth brother, please stop saying a few words!" Zhu Bai's mind was still clear and he said to Zhu Zhen, "Sixth brother, what fifth brother said may not be right. We are all the sons of the old man. As long as we can look good, the emperor will
It doesn’t necessarily have to do anything to us, after all, the royal family also needs face!” He said, paused, “What can we do if we suffer a little loss and get a little angry? At worst, after sending the old man away, we can go back to the fiefdom and live our lives behind closed doors.
, I will never have any contact with him until death!"
"Ha!" Zhu Rui sneered, "Twelfth brother, what you think is simple!" After saying that, he lowered his voice and looked at his brothers, "Can you go back?"
"Yeah!" Suddenly, several feudal princes were stunned, their eyes twitching wildly.
"Brother Wu, what do you mean?" Zhu Shu said coldly.
He was originally a person with a cold face, but now his face became even more ferocious when he was furious.
"If that person is determined to make things difficult for you, will you be able to go back for a while?" Zhu Tong paused, "If you don't follow the order, you will return to the fiefdom. Do you want to rebel?" He said, and sneered, "I just said
Well, now we are relying on others and depending on their looks!"
Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Then... what should we do?"
Zhu Ju's words made him a little panicked. They, the royal children, may sometimes be a little brainless, but they are extremely sensitive to these ZZ struggles.
"What should I do? He only has scruples when everyone becomes a tightrope!" Zhu Rui continued, "Otherwise, just wait for him to bully him to death! Wait until Old Seventeen..."
As he said this, Zhu Xi suddenly became silent.
Because he had seen Zhu Yunxi's figure appearing outside the mourning hall.
~~
Zhu Yunxi is in the front, behind him is Li Jinglong on the left, Deng Ping on the right, and behind him are several armored guards who can be easily identified as Tatars.
Seeing the emperor come in, the cries of the officials in front of the mourning hall suddenly became louder.
Zhu Yunxi's eardrums were buzzing as he slowly walked to the old man's coffin. As for the group of vassal princes kneeling on the side, he didn't even look at it.
However, Li Jinglong couldn't help but glanced over there.
When he looked over, Qi Wang Zhu Su's eyes happened to be looking over as well.
Moreover, Zhu Shu's eyes contained the meaning of inquiry and inquiry. Li Jinglong had a straight face and wanted to turn his head, but with a thought, he silently nodded to Zhu Shu and gave him a reassuring look.
Sure enough, after receiving Li Jinglong's look, Zhu Shu also nodded, indicating that he understood and received it.
"Hmph!" Li Jinglong sneered in his heart, "An Xin? Give up!"
The trump cards of these vassals were directly copied by the emperor, and they will never think about going back in this life.
If the emperor is in a good mood, they can be an empty bucket prince. If the emperor is in a bad mood, it is not impossible for him to live in Fengyang Pass for a lifetime. Or they can just assign him to a place where birds can't poop and fend for themselves.
Suddenly, he felt something was wrong.
"Does the Emperor just want to deal with these vassal kings? Or is he planning to catch all the vassal kings and uproot them?" Li Jinglong thought to himself, "The Emperor's temperament has always been to either do nothing or do something absolutely!"
~
I don't know whether it was the wind or the vibration caused by the crying, but the flame of the thick tallow candle kept beating in front of the old man's body.
Under the beating candlelight, the figures on the ground were intertwined and constantly changing, which made people upset.
Because there was an ice basin placed under the coffin, the coffin was cold, and even the old man's face in the coffin seemed to have a layer of frost.
"Grandpa Huang! Goodbye!"
Zhu Yunxi was sitting on the round stool, looking at the old man's face, murmuring in his heart.
He suddenly remembered that the beginning of this story of his own was also at the coffin.
In front of Zhu Biao's body, there is the old emperor and the young and helpless grandson.
"Don't cry, kid, grandpa is here, grandpa is here!"
"Grandpa Huang, would you like a bowl of noodles?"
"You unfilial son, with your grandpa here, who dares to bully you?"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi's mind was filled with these scenes that seemed like they were from another world. Everything was so far away, but everything seemed to be right in front of him.
Just a second ago, the old man's big hand was touching his forehead.
At that time, he was a young bird who needed to be protected under the old man's wings.
Now that he has grown up and can fly high, the old man has passed away.
"Grandpa Huang, goodbye!"
Zhu Yunxi wanted to cry, but there was only a blank numbness in the center of his mind. Without tears, his throat could not make a sound.
Only at this moment did he understand one word, great sadness and silence!
Another absurd question suddenly appeared in his mind. What if...if it was him who was lying in the coffin, what would happen to Grandpa Huang?
His old man must not be as sad and silent as he is! His old man must be in pain!
A child's love for an old man is far less than an old man's love for a child.
Children can live without the elderly, but old people can only wait to die alone without their children.
Facing the death of an old man, what we still think about is the future after grief.
When the old man faces death, he also thinks about the future of his children.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi pinched the posthumous edict in his sleeve.
His eyes finally looked coldly at the feudal princes kneeling aside.
Zhu Zhen and Zhu Zhu looked indifferent, Zhu Bai had complicated eyes, King Lu, King Qin, King Jin and others had their heads lowered, as if they were deep in thought. As for Zhu Ju, there was expectation in his eyes.
"Dasun, you see the letter as the face, when you see this edict of mine, we should be dead!"
"Don't feel bad. No one has died since ancient times. We are over seventy years old. Watching you get married and start a business before you grow up is a blessing from God. According to the folk saying, this is a funeral, and we have to set up a stage to sing.
Those who eat on the flowing water table!”
"You are older and have your own ideas. If I tell you some things while alive, you will definitely feel annoyed. Only when I tell you after death can you take it to heart!"
"You're not a bad person, there's nothing we can't let go of, the only ones we're worried about are your uncles!"
"My child, we know that you are actually indifferent to family in your bones, but after all, they are all your uncles and our sons. My child, you have to remember that when something big happens in this world, it is our family members and outsiders who can help you.
, they are all snobbish and unreliable.”
"Your uncles have been spoiled by us. In fact, they are all cowards with high ambitions, low courage and narrow vision. They are tough on the outside but soft on the inside!"
"The thing you have to be wary of the most is your fourth uncle. We have known his little thoughts a few years ago, but we gave him leeway because of our father's affection. If he really offends you, or you really think he is a threat,
Can be killed..."
Zhu Yunxi recalled the contents of the old man's edict in his mind. The edict had been altered when it mentioned King Zhu Di of Yan.
I think the old man's original words should be, he can be killed!
