On the outskirts of Yingtianfu in the capital city, outside the official pavilion on the official road, a group of people kept looking forward, with hope beyond words.
Today is the day when King Yan Zhu Di enters the capital. The Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, the Crown Prince of Yan, Zhu Gaochi, the second son, the third son, Gao Xu and Gao Sui all go out to welcome him.
Zhu Gaochi and Xu Huizu were sitting in the pavilion, while Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui stretched their necks and kept looking towards the end of the road.
"Boy, be careful!"
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu spinning around in a hurry, Zhu Gaochi from the pavilion said, "Come in and sit down!"
Zhu Gaoxu didn't look back, but still looked ahead, "Where can I sit down? My parents are so anxious for me!" As he said that, he turned around and said loudly, "Boss, how about I ride a horse to greet you?"
Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly and looked at Xu Huizu.
The three brothers came with Xu Huizu to pick up King Yan today, which means that all actions must be approved by Xu Huizu, his uncle.
Or to be precise, Xu Huizu, the uncle, in addition to receiving Zhu Di, also had to supervise the three brothers.
Seeing Zhu Gaochi looking at Xu Huizu, Zhu Gaoxu became even more impatient, "Uncle, can you do it?"
Xu Huizu held the tea cup and smiled silently.
"This boss is so rotten! He didn't say anything, but just looked at me and pushed the problem to me! If I don't agree, I'm afraid these children will immediately hold grudges in their hearts. If I agree, there will be no turning back. Someone will be there for the emperor.
So what do you say!"
With this thought in his heart, Xu Huizu sighed and said, "Let's wait!" After saying that, he paused and said, "Second Master, you are the emperor's grandson. You must behave in a moderate manner. King Yan is coming soon, so please be patient."
!”
"If you don't let me go, I won't let you go. Why do you say so much?"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was suddenly furious. He had not been close to this uncle since he was a child, and not only was he not close, he was also distant. At this moment, he was in a irritable mood, and he heard the other person's words implying a reprimand, which made him even more impatient.
"Second brother, how can you talk to uncle?" Zhu Gaochi said angrily, "There are no rules at all?"
Xu Huizu's smile also disappeared, and his face seemed to be sinking.
It is true that the other party is the grandson of the emperor, but he is a hereditary Duke or the other party's uncle. Now that he is suddenly being robbed of a few words by the other party, his face is quite upset.
"Come here and apologize to your uncle!" Zhu Gaochi continued angrily, "Kowtow and admit your mistake!"
"Forget it, forget it!" Xu Huizu waved his hands aside.
"Where did I go wrong? I expected my parents to be wrong too?" Zhu Gaoxu felt even more aggrieved, holding his neck and shouting, "If my second uncle were here, I would definitely let me go to meet him. No, my second uncle would definitely take me with him.
Let’s go together to welcome our parents!”
As he said this, he looked at Xu Huizu, "How can there be any reason in the world not to allow a son to welcome his parents?"
Xu Huizu said nothing, stared at Zhu Gaoxu for a moment, and then turned away slightly.
"Uncle, don't pay attention to him, he's just a fool!" Zhu Gaochi explained with a smile, "The second brother is outspoken and has no bad intentions!"
Xu Huizu smiled again, looking quite generous.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi suddenly stood up, walked outside, grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's shoulders, and slapped him on the back of the head several times.
"Boss, why did you hit me?"
"You are the one who is being beaten, you are an unfilial thing. The so-called mother and uncle are the eldest. We are like father and mother, and in the capital, your uncle is our closest relative. You are disrespectful to your uncle, should you beat him?"
"My uncle, I don't have the same experience as you. Are you done yet?"
"It's okay for you to be disrespectful to others. But who in front of you is our uncle, our blood relative. If anything happens to us in the future, shouldn't we have our uncle to worry about?
"
After angrily scolding, Zhu Gaochi gradually lowered his head, but his eyes were still a little unconvinced and angry.
Xu Huizu, on the other hand, picked up the tea cup again.
"The boss's ability to criticize Sang and Huai is really extraordinary!" Xu Huizu thought to himself, "Every word of it, he is scolding me as an uncle. He is indifferent to them, does not get close to them, does not help them, and does not act like an uncle!"
Thinking about it, I sighed in my heart, "Boss, you are making fun of me with your words!"
Who can be ruthless? In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t have these nephews in his heart!
But Xu Huizu was different from Xu Zengshou. He was the minister in charge of military affairs and an old minister of the East Palace. How could he be so close to the vassal king? Furthermore, he was a minister first and then a relative of the three brothers of the Zhu family.
As a minister to others, family affection comes second.
Besides, he had trained with Lan Yu and others in competitions in his early years, and he had known for a long time that King Yan had great ambitions and his plans were not small.
At this moment, seeing the Zhu family's nephew in front of me making insinuations, and thinking about my younger brother who was sent to serve in the Yunnan Army, I sighed again!
~~~
Suddenly, in sight, a horse galloped towards me.
The knight on the horse has iron rings on his arms and blue cotton armor on his body. Under the sun, every iron nail on it shines brightly.
These are the Yulin Guardsmen who followed Xu Huizu out of the city.
"Report to Prince Yan, Duke of Wei, that Prince Yan's carriage has arrived. If you have half a stick of incense, it will be here!"
"Got it!" Xu Huizu waved his hands lightly, still sitting upright.
After hearing this, the three brothers of the Zhu family suddenly stood together involuntarily and looked into the distance.
The eldest brother, Zhu Gaochi, was in the room. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were on the left and right. The second and third children, one on the left and one on the right, were holding the eldest brother's fat hand tightly.
"Dad is here!" Zhu Gaoxu whispered.
"Mother is here!" Zhu Gaosui choked out.
Zhu Gaochi looked at the two brothers and was suddenly startled, "Car frame?" Then he became even more confused, "Dad has been on war horses all his life and never sat in a carriage. Where did he get the frame?"
Gradually, a group of people appeared in the sight of the three brothers.
This team is extremely ordinary.
There was no royal flag of King Yan, and there was no ceremonial guard representing the identity of the vassal king. In front, more than 20 warriors dressed in regular uniforms, even with bows and arrows, and just knights with swords opened the way.
Behind it is an ordinary two-horse carriage.
From a distance, this team looks like an ordinary official team. It's just that the warriors who opened the way inadvertently looked around with sharp eyes, revealing some slight differences.
"This?" Zhu Gaoxu was speechless, "Why didn't dad fight the king's flag?"
Zhu Gaosui was also surprised and said, "Why did our father bring so many guards!"
Zhu Gaochi understood in his heart that his father was deliberately keeping a low profile. Silently, he patted the hands of his two younger brothers comfortingly.
"Where are our cavalry?"
"Is the formation so shabby?"
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui spoke at the same time, and their tone was heartbreaking.
"Don't be so sad! We are all having a good time with our parents having a long way to go. Don't make the two elders feel unhappy!" Zhu Gaochi asked, "Come, follow me and welcome your parents!"
As he said that, he grabbed the two brothers with his fat hands and strode forward.
In front of Zhu Di's carriage, thousands of warriors and cavalrymen, and the Mongolian Huolihuozhen saw the three brothers. Their eyes flashed with deep joy, and then they rode to the carriage.
"Chitose, my empress, the Crown Prince and the Second and Third Masters are here to pick you up!"
