The summer rain is sudden and violent.
The sky and the earth were all hazy, and even the majestic palaces and magnificent palaces seemed to be isolated, making it increasingly difficult to see clearly.
The continuous raindrops fall on the glazed tiles and make a splashing sound. In the distance is a dense raindrop, and nearby under the eaves is a raging waterfall.
During the pouring rain, one person followed the eunuch holding an umbrella and arrived in front of the Fengtian Hall.
Although there was an umbrella on his head, his shoulders were already stained by rainwater, and the skirt of his embroidered dragon robe was also a bit messy, not to mention the pair of official boots.
Under the eaves, the umbrella was withdrawn, the figure trembled, and the water splashed on the body.
"But Prince Yan?" In the palace, a red-robed eunuch came out to welcome him.
The person who came was none other than Zhu Gaochi. The face of the eunuch in front of him was a bit unfamiliar. He didn't dare to tell anyone, "Exactly, father-in-law, who are you?"
"This slave is useless!"
Wang Shai, the eunuch who was originally the leader of Fengtian Palace, is now working in the Huanxi Bureau and is responsible for the daily life of Zhu Yunxi. Therefore, Pu Wuyong, who was originally responsible for Zhu Yunxi's daily life and other matters, was promoted.
"It turns out to be Eunuch Pu!" Zhu Gaochi said with a smile that was neither humble nor overbearing, "I came to see the emperor on orders!"
"Wait a moment, I will give you a message right now!" After saying that, Pu Wuyong turned around and went in again.
Zhu Gaochi looked at Pu Wuyong's back and thought, "This eunuch of Fengtian Palace is very polite. He doesn't even look at you when he speaks, he just smiles. He is both decent, humble and humble, not like the previous one.
There’s something so arrogant about it!”
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice came from inside.
"Your Majesty's Oral Order, the Crown Prince of Yan has an audience!"
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly arranged his clothes, quickly wiped off the water stains on his clothes, bowed slightly, and stepped in.
~~
"Your Majesty, Zhu Gaochi, comes to see the Emperor!"
Zhu Yunxi was sitting cross-legged on the couch, holding a memorial in his hand and looking at it intently.
"Well!" He responded lightly, without raising his head, and said, "Wang Shai, move a stool for Prince Yan!"
"Who?" Zhu Gaochi was stunned.
But Pu Wuyong next to him responded calmly and slowly brought a round stool.
"It seems that the previous one holds a lot of weight in the emperor's heart, otherwise the emperor would not inadvertently call him the wrong one!" Zhu Gaochi thought to himself.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi put down the memorial and rubbed his temples. He seemed a little tired. "Go, tell the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to wait. I will see them later!" As he said that, he turned his eyes to the window sill and looked at the pouring rain.
, sighing slightly, "Hey!"
Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi thought about it and said, "The emperor is worried that the rain this year will be too heavy and it will hurt the farmers?"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi turned his head and nodded with a smile, "No wonder Grandpa Huang said back then that you are a smart person. Listen to me and you will know what I am worried about!"
This rain has been falling for several days, and it seems that it will not stop in the past few days. It is the midsummer season, when everything grows. Floods must be prepared in advance.
"Your Majesty is ridiculous!" Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "It seems to me that the rain in the past few days has been quite severe. In addition to floods, we also have to worry about the severe sun in the sky after the heavy rain, which may cause epidemics!
"
Zhu Yunxi looked at him and said, "It would be a shame to put you in Beijing!"
It has to be said that some people's talents cannot be hidden. In just one sentence, Zhu Gaochi showed his long-term vision and thorough consideration of things.
But Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to speak.
Having been with Zhu Yunxi, the new king, for a long time, he also knows something about him. When encountering problems, if he blindly hides his clumsiness and pretends to be confused, he will annoy the other person.
But he himself needs to understand who he is now.
"It's not just raining in Gyeonggi, it's been raining all over Zhili since summer!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "It's also been raining heavily over there for several days in a row. I heard it's even heavier than here in Gyeonggi."
"If there is a flood, even if it is just a small amount, some people will be affected and their lives will be difficult!"
Zhu Gaochi stood up and saluted, "The emperor has mercy on all the people of the world, which is a blessing to the people of the world!"
He said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm just saying something inappropriate. Your Majesty is already tired of government affairs, so you shouldn't worry too much. Our Ming Dynasty is so big, with an area of thousands of miles from north to south. Drought and floods are not only in the south, but also in the north..."
..."
"What you said is wrong!" Zhu Yunxi interrupted him, "Some people have also said this. The Ming Dynasty is so big that if it is not protected, disasters will occur. Disasters are normal. But in my opinion, the person who said this is either stupid or stupid.
Bad. If those who are emperors and officials think so, wouldn’t they be bastards who are suffering for the common people?”
"I made a mistake!" Zhu Gaochi said hurriedly.
"However, in what you just said, the word "we" was used very appropriately. Our Ming Dynasty, our Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yunxi continued to smile, "Among the princes and grandsons of the feudal lords, I look up to you because you have a fair heart.
Righteousness, the heart of family, country and world!”
"My lord, I don't dare to praise you as the emperor!" Zhu Gaochi saluted, but suddenly he cursed in his heart, "I fucking thank you, you think so highly of me, you think so highly of me that you held me hostage in the capital? I beg you to fucking look down on me.
Me, put me back in Peiping!"
"Do you know why I asked you to come?" Zhu Yunxi asked again with a smile.
"I'm stupid!" Zhu Gaochi stood there, looking like he was right and he didn't dare to do anything.
"I heard that you stay in the house all day?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Although I don't allow you to return to Peking, you can move around as you like in Beijing!"
"I'm going to take care of your grandma! If I don't go out, you can tell me what to do. If I go out for a walk all day long, you can't tell me what kind of shoes you should wear for me!"
He was scolding in his heart, but his face became more and more frightened, and he said, "It's not that I don't go out, I like to be quiet and don't like to move!" After saying that, he paused, "Besides, I am the eldest brother, and I have to do it for my brothers.
Set an example. If I hang out all day, the two little ones in the family may cause trouble!"
These words made Zhu Yunxi smile.
The informant of King Yan's vassal came to report that the three brothers Zhu Gaochi stared at each other at home every day, so idle that they kept arguing from morning to night.
Afterwards, Zhu Yunxi slowly took out a memorial from the kang table and gently placed it on the corner of the table, "Let's take a look!"
Zhu Gaochi took a few steps back instantly, "Don't dare!"
"Your father's memorial!" Zhu Yunxi looked at him and said.
Zhu Gaochi raised his head sharply, hesitated for a moment and stepped forward, carefully picked up the memorial, opened it and saw that it was the handwriting of his father, King Yan.
"I would like to report that I was supposed to go to Beijing to see the emperor at the beginning of spring. However, since the battle in Liaodong last year, I have become increasingly weak, contracted wind and cold, and cannot afford to fall ill. I have been in bed to recuperate for several months. Thanks to the emperor's grace, I became more and more frail.
Don’t care about it.”
"Now that I am well, I am very frightened when I think of the new king who has ascended the throne. As a vassal king, I have not yet come to the throne. Now that Liaodong is safe, there is no war. I would like to report to the emperor. I wish you to come to the capital to have an audience with Tianyan, and to kowtow to the emperor's holy peace!"
"I beg, my minister Zhu Di is so frightened that I would like to send you this message!"
For a moment, Zhu Gaochi felt his hands shaking a little, "Dad is going to Beijing?"
"Father is finally coming to Beijing!" His mind was racing. "If he comes to Beijing, he will bow his head to the emperor and admit his mistake. I wonder if the emperor will let the four of us back? After so many years of grudge, it is kowtow to admit his mistake."
, can you give up just by admitting defeat?”
"Your father is coming!" Zhu Yunxi slowly picked up the teacup, "What do you think?"
"How can I see it? How can I fucking see it? I said I don't want him to come, okay?"
"You don't want to rush people like this!"
Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart, but his face looked more and more frightened.
He held the memorial in both hands and put it away, then knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "When the Emperor ruled over the world, all the kings of the Ming Dynasty except my father, King Chu, King Ning, etc. were all present!"
"In terms of teeth, my father is the fourth son of the Supreme Emperor, and the vassal king in the world is second only to the King of Jin. It is really inappropriate not to come to the court to congratulate me."
"Now that my father is in good health, it is my duty to come to Beijing to have an audience, so I should come! Not only do I want to listen to the holy teachings, but I also want to visit the Supreme Emperor!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh a little.
This little fat guy is really a shady and evil person who talks in a treacherous way. He is clearly talking about his father, King Yan. He talks both inside and outside, and brings King Chu and King Ning into his mouth. This is to remind Zhu Yunxi that I
Dad came to Beijing to admit his mistake. There are still two people who did not come to visit the new emperor at the dock.
"Throughout the ages, there is no one who has a more holy heart than the emperor!" Zhu Gaochi said again, "My father made a mistake. Your Majesty, you care about your flesh and blood and family ties and do not want to criticize harshly..."
"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi interrupted him with a smile, "You, don't say those nice things, I know, in fact you are scolding me in your heart!"
Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi's heart trembled violently.
He kowtowed and said, "I would never dare!"
"Get up!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Anyway, it's a good thing that your father is willing to come! I have no reason to reach out and hit the smiling man. You are right, after all, he is one of his own family." After saying that, he looked at the other person,
"You are a smart man, I am telling you this, you can tell your father later!"
"After all, we are our own family, but our own family... I won't see your father when he comes this time!" Zhu Yunxi took a sip of tea and continued, "You go to greet him, and go back to your residence to rest first.
In two days, you, father and son, will discuss what you will say and do when you see me."
"When you meet the old man, do whatever you say!" He put down the tea bowl and tapped the table with his fingers, "Remember, this kind of opportunity is rare!"
"O minister, thank you for your holy grace!" Zhu Gaochi felt chills running down his back.
"Remember, opportunities are rare!" Zhu Yunxi said solemnly again, "I don't have that much patience, so I always focus on these things! There are countless things more important than this in my family, country, and world. Do you understand?"
For a moment, Zhu Gaochi was a little puzzled.
"Now the Ming Dynasty has conquered all directions, and its prestige has spread far and wide, and all the states have surrendered. The border areas are becoming more and more stable day by day. I heard that in the past few days, all the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty in Monan came to surrender. Your throne is as secure as a diamond.
Is there anything more important than dealing with these feudal kings?"
As if he could see through Zhu Gaochi's heart, Zhu Yunxi spoke again, "The world seems to be peaceful, but it is still gloomy. After ten or twenty years, it may reach the so-called prosperous age. However, after that, it will be a cycle of prosperity and decline!"
As he spoke, he sighed, "You are also a person who has read a lot of books. Ask yourself whether the so-called prosperous age in history books is the prosperous age of kings and scholar-bureaucrats, or the prosperous age of common people?"
"What I seek is not a fleeting flourishing, but a flourishing that will be passed down from generation to generation!"
These words made Zhu Gaochi even more confused.
Seeing that the other party didn't understand, Zhu Yunxi lost interest in talking.
No one in this world can understand his heart.
"That's it. When your father comes to Beijing, you go and pick him up!" Zhu Yunxi picked up the memorial again and said, "Then you, father and son, figure it out and don't let me worry about these things again in the future!"
"Your Majesty, I obey the order!" Zhu Gaochi felt that the emperor in front of him was becoming more and more confused, and he respectfully withdrew.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the memorial slowly and said, "I, Tie Xuan, I would like to memorialize. I am here, start to close the net and kill people!"
~~~
On the first day of the new year, the thief wishes you a happy new year.
I wish you all good luck in the Year of the Tiger, and may the Tiger bring prosperity.
