"Your Majesty, Zhu Di, bow to the Emperor, my Emperor..."
"Okay, okay!" Zhu Yunxi, who was also dressed in ordinary clothes, looked at Zhu Di who was saluting in front of him, and said with a smile, "We are not above the court, there are no outsiders, so there is no need for more courtesy between our uncles and nephews!"
With that said, he said to Pu Wuyong beside him, "Go and help King Yan up!"
"Chitose, get up!"
Zhu Di pushed Pu Wuyong away and stood up, his eyes falling on Zhu Yunxi.
The emperor whom he now wanted to worship devoutly wore an ordinary tunics and looked elegant and heroic. There was a faint smile between his eyebrows, which was a kind of ceremonial alienation.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Zhu Yunxi smiled and sat down at the tea table, flipping open two tea bowls at random, "I have too many things going on over there!"
Zhu Di stood, not knowing how to speak for a moment, so he could only whisper, "I don't dare!"
"This Chunhe Palace has been empty since my father left. It has never been moved! Grandpa Huang once asked me to live in it, but as you know, seeing things and thinking about people, when I arrived here, all I could think about was my father's voice and smile back then!
"Zhu Yunxi spoke slowly and said with a smile, "You don't have to stand, just sit down!"
Zhu Di thanked him and sat down respectfully with his butt half touching the stool.
"Are you wondering why I didn't give a banquet in Jinshen Palace?" Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Di's face and tapped his fingers on the table.
Zhu Di's eyes fell on the other party's opened tea cup.
He stood up again, put in the tea leaves with his own hands, took the thermos from the eunuch's hand, brewed the tea, put it in the tea cups, and pushed it over gently.
Zhu Yunxi didn't drink, but still looked at him, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not in Jinshen Palace, because I don't want to make it so formal. The king and his ministers are facing each other, the historian is here, the officials from the Ministry of Rites are also there, and there are people coming from the Zongzheng Mansion.
"
"When the time comes, I won't be able to eat or drink well, and my words will be clouded and confused, and I won't understand them!"
"Here, at the place where my father received you, be more relaxed and speak more clearly."
"You and I have actually never had a good conversation!"
Zhu Yunxi's words were genuine, and it didn't look like he was lying or prevaricating.
Zhu Di's heart went away from his uneasiness and anxiety, "My lord, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
"I don't care about sincere gratitude!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Zhu Di quickly stood up and saluted, "I dare not be disrespectful..."
"Now that the matter is over, don't say such lies anymore!" Zhu Yunxi interrupted him directly, his tone becoming a little cold.
Zhu Di's body stiffened slightly and stood in place.
"There are some things that you know very well. Just because I don't say it doesn't mean that I don't know!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and suddenly pointed his finger outward, "Prince Yan, haven't you always wanted that seat?"
In an instant, Zhu Di's back was soaked with cold sweat. Even though he thought about himself as a hero who stood up to heaven, at this moment, he only felt panic.
Because these words could kill him!
It can make life worse than death and ruin your reputation!
"I know!" Zhu Yunxi looked into his eyes, "I have always known it, I have known it since I was a child!" Then, he smiled, "Not only do I know it, but didn't you know it when you became a father? He also knew it!"
"This is my father's former residence. Think carefully about how your father treated you back then!"
"He knows clearly that you are unhappy, unwilling and ambitious. He still tolerates you and treats you generously. As long as you speak, he will do anything and support you!"
"Is he weak? Ha, no!"
Zhu Yunxi tapped his fingers on the table, "It's because he regards you as his younger brother and doesn't care about you as an older brother. It's because your bones bleed the same blood as his. It's because you and he are both from the Zhu family.
Erlang!"
"When you come to me, your actions have become worse. Ask yourself whether you deserve to die! If you were me, how could I let you live to this day!"
"But I still tolerate you many times, why?"
"Because your father's younger brother is the old man's son and my uncle. You and I bleed the same blood! I can't bear to fight against each other, and I can't bear for the old man to bear the pain of losing a son!"
Poof, Zhu Di knelt on his knees and was speechless.
"There are no outsiders today, so it's better to just talk about it." Zhu Yunxi continued, "Not a word of what I said today will be recorded in the history books, let alone a word of it to outsiders. But today's words, I
Once you say it, you won’t say it a second time!”
"Do you understand? Today is the last chance I give you!"
"I have no skills in my family, my country, my country, and I really don't want to waste any more time on you!"
"Chen... Chen..." Zhu Di's voice was frightened and frightened.
He thought about the scene after meeting Zhu Yunxi many times. But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of it. Zhu Yunxi came up and pointed it out directly, and his words directly touched his heart.
"Help King Yan to get up!" Zhu Yunxi said again.
Next to it, in the shadow of the corner, a person who didn't seem to exist stepped forward to help Zhu Di.
When Zhu Di looked at the other party, his eyes were so horrified that he could hardly control himself.
The person who helped him was none other than the first commander of the Jinyi Guards, Mao Xiang.
"You..." Zhu Di exclaimed.
"My lord, there is no difference between being alive and dead!" Mao Xiang smiled, then turned invisible and pushed away.
Zhu Yunxi spoke again, which made Zhu Di's hair stand on end, "Since you saw that he is not dead, you should know. Not only do I know what you are doing in private, but the old man also knows!"
Zhu Di suddenly felt weak. The old man didn't see him, not to save him, but because he was really sad and didn't want to talk to him.
Zhu Yunxi slowly pushed the hot tea in front of Zhu Di, "You may be thinking, since we already knew, why didn't we attack you earlier?"
"I can keep pretending not to know, and when you seek death, I can make your death justifiable!"
"But I remember that you are my fourth uncle. You are the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. You have made great military achievements in the border areas over the years. Because you have never lost the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and because you have traveled thousands of miles to fight, you are still here today.
, I just said these words to you!"
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Fortunately, you came to the capital to see me this time, otherwise you would never hear these words and you would never see me!"
"Today, I am not pursuing your fault."
"You don't have to be afraid, I will let you go back to Beiping! Whether you seek death or repent, it's all up to you!"
"I don't want to use my affection to sweeten you today!"
"Those are useless to you!"
"I don't need you to kowtow and admit your mistake, that won't help anything!"
"I just want to tell you, I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and you, the minister of the Ming Dynasty!"
"The ministers and traitors are all in your mind. Whether you want to be a virtuous king who opened up territory for the Ming Dynasty and went down in history, or whether you want to be a rebellious minister and traitor who is ruined and reviled by others, you decide for yourself!"
"I have seen through your heart, liver, spleen and stomach. Now, all it takes is one word from me to destroy you."
"I've given you the road!"
With that said, Zhu Yunxi stood up and looked at the throne outside, "Fourth uncle, this is the last chance I give you!"
