"Emperor..."
Zhu Gaochi was about to speak, but saw Zhu Yunxi raised his arm.
"Listen!" Zhu Yunxi whispered.
"Come, come, come, there is wine today, and you will be drunk today. Don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon. My nephew respects my two uncles!"
The words from Yajian next to him came through clearly.
Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and thought rapidly, "The private rooms in this place are not soundproof?" Thinking, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Deng Ping standing expressionless, and he had guessed it in his heart.
The emperor brought him here specifically to see the ugliness of the dragon sons and grandsons!
The voice saying respect in the private room next to me must be Zhu Jiye, the second son of the previous King of Jin, Prince Gaoping of Yige.
The twelfth uncle and eighteenth uncle he mentioned should be Zhu Bai, the former king of Xiang, Zhu Ming, the former king of Min...
"If you have wine today, you will be drunk now." This poem is very useful!" Someone laughed in the elegant room next to him, thinking of King Min Zhu. "If you don't care about tomorrow, why worry about troubles and troubles. If you have wine today, you will be drunk now, and you will live up to the world.
Take a walk!”
"Uncle, what a poem!"
"This wine is not good!" Suddenly, in the private room next to him, Zhu Bai said, "It's not strong enough. Let's change it to a roasting knife!"
Then, as the woman screamed happily, she loudly said, "If you want to relieve your sorrow, the only way is strong wine!"
"Uncle Twelve, happy!" Zhu Jiye laughed, "A man should drink strong wine and ride strong horses..."
"What a pity!" Zhu Bai's tone suddenly became depressed, "In this life, there are plenty of strong drinks, but strong horses... have no chance with us!"
"Brother Twelve, let's do it!"
Zhu Gaochi was listening through the wall, and it was Zhu Ming who probably spoke, "It's good that we are alive!" After saying that, he added, "Isn't it good to eat, drink, and have fun all day long now?"
"Good?" Zhu Bai's voice sounded again, "So good that we are all useless!"
"Uncle Twelve, be careful what you say!" Zhu Jiye advised.
"Beware of his grandma!" Zhu Bai said angrily, "There are ears and eyes in the house and they dare not speak. Brothers are afraid that someone will talk too much and they dare not speak. Outside, no one knows us, so we are not allowed to speak? I said, what's the matter?
?So what if that person hears it?"
"I, the twelve-year-old boy, must sit upright and do nothing wrong! I have said even more unpleasant things than this before! Now I am raising a bird like a waste. If you don't teach me how to speak, you will suffocate me to death!"
"
"Come on, come on, have a drink!" The one who is speaking now is Zhu Zhen, "Brother Twelve, don't say these unpleasant things. It's a rare occasion to come out and have a drink!"
"Wait a minute, I'll give this cup to my thirteenth brother first..."
~~
In the private room, Zhu Gaochi suddenly changed his color and couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunxi.
The latter remained expressionless, staring at the stage downstairs.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes wandered again, and when he spotted the guards behind Zhu Yunxi, murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The thirteen they are talking about is Zhu Chun, the king of Shu.
Regarding the assassination of Zhu Yunxi, those who knew the inside story tacitly kept silent. Therefore, the princes in Beijing did not know the inside story. To the outside world, it was announced that King Zhu Chun of Shu had died suddenly. The Princess of Shu was too sad and followed her.
In order to cover up the family scandal and even minimize the situation.
Not only did they not tell the outside world, they buried Zhu Chun and his wife with royal rites.
"Uncle Twelve, you must have a guard on your lips!" Zhu Gaochi begged God in his heart, "Have you had enough of the good life?"
~~
"Uncle Twelve, be careful what you say!" Over there, it was Zhu Jiye who was trying to dissuade him.
"I respect my dead brother, so what the hell are you being careful about? I'm not allowed to go during the burial. What's the matter with me toasting you with a glass of wine?" Zhu Bai, who has always been grumpy, roared loudly, "It's okay if I'm not allowed to go. I can't even think about it.
Damn it, I can’t even go out of Beijing just to take a look!”
"I'm just wondering, what's going on with our family? I used to make fun of the Li family, but now it's better, and it's not as good as others!"
"Uncle Twelve..."
"Brother Twelve..."
"Sometimes I really envy my fifteenth brother!" Zhu Bai sighed again, "When people don't like it, they just say it and never hide it. It's not like us, who behave like humans and dogs with their tail between their legs! He's gone now.
Goryeo, we are useless in the capital."
"I, Twelve... feel aggrieved!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
Zhu Yunxi, who was next to him, stood up silently and whispered, "Let's go!"
"Okay!" Zhu Gaochi followed quickly as if he had received an amnesty.
As soon as the two of them reached the stairs, they heard another noise coming from the private room behind them.
"Sing about his female consort, sing about me..."
~~
The two brothers walked casually along the long street.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Yunxi seemed to be tired, so he sat down in front of a herbal tea stall.
"A rich idler or a libertine?" Zhu Yunxi looked at the bustling crowd and said to himself.
Zhu Gaochi accompanied him carefully, not daring to speak.
"Do you think I'm angry?" Zhu Yunxi turned his head and whispered.
Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to speak anymore.
"No!" Zhu Yunxi shook his head, "I feel a little... I feel bad! They want to be rich and idle, I tolerate them! But now they have become prodigal sons who talk weird things!" He said with a wry smile and said, "Don't think so.
Only the three of them are like this, all the clan members in the capital are like this!"
"I spend money like water all day long, and when I don't have it, I reach out for it, and I keep saying weird things! What's going to happen if this keeps going on?"
Zhu Gaochi's back was sweating, but in his heart, he sympathized with these vassal kings and the clan members.
In the past, all the fiefdoms were dominated by local emperors, but now...
It sounds good to live under someone else's roof, but it sounds bad to be a prisoner under house arrest in the capital!
You have to look at people's eyes when you speak or act! I'm always on tenterhooks, for fear of a glass of poisonous wine...
"You know me!" Zhu Yunxi said again, "In my heart, I never thought about what to do to them! As for those who died and were trapped, didn't they bring it upon themselves?"
"But..." Zhu Gaochi said with difficulty, "They are also human beings, and they will inevitably have anger in their hearts!"
He was the only one who dared to say this, as the emperor's cousin.
"That's why I don't want to pursue it!" Zhu Yunxi sighed, "But they regard me as their enemy! They think I want to harm them all the time, but actually I don't have that intention!"
"If you do those things, everyone will regard you as an enemy!" Zhu Gaochi thought to himself, "What did you force them to do?"
"I asked you to listen to what they said, because I still have something to ask you!" Zhu Yunxi's voice was a bit cold, "Before you leave the capital, please comfort them!"
"I'll persuade them!" Zhu Gaochi understood what Zhu Yunxi meant, "Tell them not to think so wildly!"
"Well!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, "I would like to advise them again. Instead of stewing in the capital, they should go to Zhezi and ask for a transfer of the feudal vassal... I..." After saying that, he paused and sighed again, "I don't want to go back to the capital anymore."
Something happened! Grandpa Huang only has this little blood, and I can’t bear it..."
"I understand!" Zhu Gaochi also sighed.
People will be driven crazy by suppressing it! Once they are suppressed and crazy, they can do anything!
Zhu Yunxi patted Zhu Gaochi on the shoulder, "Actually, sometimes I envy you!"
"Huh?" Zhu Gaochi raised his head in surprise.
Just listen to Zhu Yunxi continue, "You are so popular that no one will say anything bad about you! On the other hand, I... Haha!"
"It's difficult because of your status!" Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly.
At this moment, his heart was finally relieved.
The emperor still cared about family ties and did not want to kill all the vassal kings, leaving some room for them.
"Hey!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly smiled, "Are you hungry?"
"I..." Zhu Gaochi was stunned, "It's okay!"
Zhu Yunxi looked ahead, "I remember there was a store selling salty glutinous rice balls in front of me that was pretty good. Come on, let's go eat a few bowls!"
"Salty?" Zhu Gaochi shook his head like a rattle, "The salty glutinous rice balls are filled with meat, so how to eat them! The glutinous rice balls should be sweet, and the bean paste ones are best..."
"You've become so fat and you still eat sweet things! Let's go and eat salty things!"
"You'll get fat if you eat salty food!"
"Let's go!" Zhu Yunxi hugged Zhu Gaochi's shoulders affectionately, "Just treat it as accompanying me!"
Not long after, the dumpling stall arrived.
Because of the cold weather, the stall's business was booming, and there was a circle of diners sitting next to it.
"What do you two want?" The lady selling glutinous rice balls said with a kind smile.
Zhu Yunxi hugged the reluctant Zhu Gaochi and said, "Two bowls of salty glutinous rice balls!" He said with a smile, "How do you know we are brothers?"
"Can you tell?" The aunt kept holding her hands and said with a smile, "How similar they look!" As she said that, she put the glutinous rice balls into the pot. "You can tell at a glance that they are brothers!"
