Chapter 231: The Storm Begins (4)
The picture turned around. At the city gate at dusk, Zhu Gaochi sat in a carriage and looked at the city gate.
Tomorrow is the real New Year's Eve, and the streets are even more lively, with people crowding shoulders next to shoulders, and people entering and leaving the city gate are out of reach.
"Why haven't you arrived yet?" Zhu Gaochi muttered in his heart.
At this moment, a rebellious scolding suddenly came from the city gate, "All up, don't block my way! Get out of here!"
Hearing the sound, Zhu Gaochi quickly came out of the carriage and ran towards the city gate on foot.
In the surging crowd, Zhu Gaosui, wearing casual clothes in the guards, walked out with sweaty horses, cursing with resentment.
"The third brother!" Zhu Gaochi scolded with a stern face, "What kind of swearing is it?" As he said that, he stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Zhu Gaosui, and took the other person's forehead without hesitation, "Who did you learn from with such dirty words? You don't understand the rules at all!"
"I'm here to accompany you for the New Year, why do you scold me as soon as you meet?" Zhu Gaosui said in a silence.
"You..." Zhu Gaochi was speechless for a moment and pulled his brother into the carriage, "Is the road going smoothly?"
Zhu Gaosui leaned against the car window, as if he was angry with someone, "How can it not go well? I heard that you are back, I heard that your second brother was dismissed and was exiled, and I heard that you will not be able to go back to Peking for a while, so my father and mother asked me to come to Beijing to accompany you. Along the way, he quickly changed his horse and replaced five war horses."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi felt a little sour.
At first, he didn't want the third brother to come to Beijing to spend the New Year with him. According to his thoughts, his parents were in Peking, and the third brother should be filial to his parents. But he also knew that his parents hadn't seen him for a long time and missed him in his heart, so he asked the third brother to come and see if he was fine.
"I haven't done anything this year, so I just ran to Yingtian and Peiping!" Zhu Gaosui looked outside the field and spoke leisurely.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Zhu Gaochi whispered, and then asked, "Are you okay with your father or mother?"
"Dad is still the same, mom... I fell ill a few days ago!" Zhu Gaosui looked at his elder brother, "I miss you, and I miss you as well."
Zhu Gaochi felt even more guilty, "I am unfilial!"
"What does it have to do with you? It's the one above who tormented you and wouldn't let you go back to Peking!" Zhu Gaosui snorted.
"San, stop talking!"
"Stop talking? You are the prince of Yan Fan. You are not staying in the fiefdom but in the capital. Isn't this a disguised circle? The second brother took the prince and asked him to go to Myanmar..." As he said that, he suddenly came to Zhu Gaochi's ear and whispered, "The second brother's letter is earlier than the imperial decree. He said that he was in Lan Yu's hometown and watched Lan Yu be buried. His father then asked Uncle Qiu to select more than a thousand elite troops from the army, and asked the Censor to pick more than 800 prisoners in the death row of the Peking. I listened secretly, my father's intention was to wait for the New Year and send it to my second brother."
As he said that, he stared at Zhu Gaochi, "Boss, will the second brother never come back in his life?"
"Who did you listen to?" Zhu Gaochi's eyes dodged a little.
"Dad said it!" Zhu Gaosui whispered, "I secretly listened to my father and Uncle Qiu and the others, and I guess my second brother's fiefdom will be in Myanmar in the future."
Zhu Gaochi didn't say anything, while Zhu Gaosui curled his lips and said, "It's really unauthentic. My father has surrendered, and our family is obedient. But he still treats us as an air raft and gives him a good family to demolish!"
"Shut up!" Zhu Gaochi scolded, "Don't you know that thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the Lord?" He said, sighing, "We are all descendants of the Ming Dynasty, so it is a matter of doing our best to contribute to the country. What's the second brother? Is the 21st uncle the prince and the vassal prince more precious than ours, so why are they granted the title of Goryeo?"
"Why is Goryeo better than Myanmar, right?" Zhu Gaosui said dissatisfiedly, "The bird in Myanmar is where all savages don't poop, hum!"
"That was done by the second brother himself. He did those things, hum!" Zhu Gaochi looked unhappy, "Oh, no wonder others, he took it upon himself!"
As he said that, he instructed him, "Since you are here in the capital to spend the New Year with me, I have to explain some things to you first!"
"I know, the capital is not as good as Peking. You and my brothers all rely on others to behave with their tails. Don't be arrogant, don't show off, don't cause trouble, don't show off." Zhu Gaosui said impatiently.
"You..." Zhu Gaochi's anger faded.
"I'm not a child! Do you think I'm the same as my second brother, no deep or shallow?" Zhu Gaosui gave Zhu Gaochi a blank look.
"Okay, as long as you have a proper attitude!" Zhu Gaochi sighed, "You are too old!" He said, "Go back and have a good rest. After New Year's Eve, he went to my uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings. Remember, you should be respectful when you see my uncle!"
"I understand!" Zhu Gaosui said.
~~
The two brothers' carriage slowly stopped in front of the door. Before they could get off the carriage, the gatekeeper ran out of it.
"Criminal, Third Master!" The concierge was an old man from a veteran. He had seen blood at that time, but his lips were trembling at this time.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Gaochi asked, "It's your anxiety!"
"Your Majesty, I've given me something... I've given me a reward, and the villain is temporarily put in the doorman..."
"Who is it?" Zhu Gaosui asked carelessly and walked in.
"woman...."
"Ah, the emperor's kindness is so great. I'm here to bring warm quilts to you!" Zhu Gaosui smirked and rushed in, "I'll go and see who is beautiful compared to Shaoyao!"
Zhu Gaochi looked at his younger brother in and asked while walking, "What kind of woman did you give me?"
Suddenly, a scream was not like a human voice.
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow rushed out of the doorman like the wind. Zhu Gaochi was hugged tightly before he could see clearly.
Then I heard Zhu Gaosui's cry, "Brother, there's a ghost!"
"The third brother!"
"Brother! There is a ghost!" Zhu Gaosui's tears came down. He hugged Zhu Gaochi's body and kept drilling into his arms, "There is a ghost! There is a ghost!"
~
"hiss!"
The two brothers took a breath of air conditioning at the same time, and Zhu Gaosui hid behind Zhu Gaochi, revealing half of his face.
Zhu Gaochi's fat body was swaying, his eyes twitching.
"Don't talk about your two masters, the young man was shocked at first. How could he have seen this?" The doorman was next to him, holding a stick on the door. "When they first came in, there was no light in the room. They sat there, unable to see people, and only watched four eyes swaying, like ghost fire in the cemetery, and they were infiltrated!"
Zhu Gaochi got goosebumps all over his body, "Where did it come from?"
"The Shipbuilding Department is here to pay tribute. The emperor rewards you and says you will see something new!" said the concierge.
"This is not the fucking new, isn't this a fright?" Zhu Gaochi slapped, "This... who dares to sleep at night in this courtyard!"
"Or...?" The concierge's eyes turned, "I'm the little one who takes someone to pull him away, and I'll kill him one by one?"
"Get out!" Zhu Gaochi cursed, "You dare to give me something to you?" and continued to curse, "This is a living person!"
"Brother!" Zhu Gaosui was so scared that he was speechless, "I'll sleep with you tonight! We'll be bedding!"
"What else did the people from the palace say?" Zhu Gaochi wiped his cold sweat and continued to ask.
The concierge thought, "The palace brought the emperor's oral order to indicate that New Year's Eve, let the prince go to the palace to celebrate the New Year with the Supreme Emperor and the emperor!"
"What about me?" Zhu Gaoshu asked.
"The person who came did not say anything!" said the concierge.
"I'll go too!" Zhu Gaosui grabbed Zhu Gaochi, "Anyway, I won't be with these black charcoals... I'll take it away!"
~~
The lights in Yong'an Palace were on. Zhu Yunyu came in through the main entrance and saw someone flashing under the light behind the window.
"Old man?" Zhu Yunxiu asked Park Bucheng, who was standing outside.
"Yes! The old emperor is offering sacrifices!" Park Bucheng whispered.
Zhu Yunxiu nodded, stepped into the main hall, and then turned to the direction of the moving house.
East, the direction of sunrise. The Han family is above the east, while the Mongolian Jurchens are above the west. Therefore, the Han family sacrifices are in the east, while the Yuan and Qing dynasties are in the west.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard a voice coming from inside, "It's New Year again, Chongba burns incense for the ancestors and ancestors. Please bless us Chongba, let us live a few more years, and see that the children have a good time..."
Amid the old man's nagging, Zhu Yunqi stepped in.
