Zhu Gaojie thought about it in his mind for a long time, and then he remembered that this was his future wife's second uncle.
"This father-in-law's thighs are not that easy to hug." Zhu Gaojie said with a chuckle.
I'm afraid this piece of paper is here to test him.
Without knowing the basics, how could the Zhang family safely tie themselves and Zhu Gaojie to the same boat.
…
Zhang Xi walked into the main courtyard of the palace and saw a young man wearing a white robe with wide sleeves standing under an evergreen tree.
The young man has bright eyes and white teeth, a straight nose and thin lips. He has an easy-going temperament, as gentle and clean as sunshine, giving people a comfortable feeling.
The first impression is very good, he is quite handsome.
The prince glanced at him: "If you are capable, will you ask the emperor to take back the imperial edict?"
Zhang Xi:......
"Your Majesty, you have not yet married your niece, so this second uncle...isn't it too early to call him?" Zhang Min said with a dark face.
Zhu Gaojie said with a smile, "If the Zhang family is willing to resist the decree in order to deny this marriage, then I will not force it."
This little kid is sharp-tongued and eloquent, and most importantly, he is very thick-skinned.
Zhang Xi blinked, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Then I will thank the prince here." "Oh, that's right." Zhu Gaojie nodded slightly and said, "After drinking this cup of tea, let's discuss when to get married."
The old man didn't know what kind of wind he had, so he pushed him up.
Zhu Di stroked his beard and wondered what he was thinking about.
…
"No need!"
After the news about the Emperor's marriage to the British Duke and King Qi spread, the King of Han's mind suddenly changed and he realized that all his efforts to win over King Qi were in vain.
"Zhu Di, I'm a fool!"
Zhu Gaojie looked in the direction of Qianqing Palace, "Old man, is this the situation you want to see?"
"Jianning Prefecture in Fujian carefully selects the white tea that comes as tribute. It produces two kilograms a year, and I rarely get to drink it."
…
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the tea."
The prince smiled and said: "Little bastard, you are young, aren't you?"
As the prince expected, Prince Han was furious at this moment.
Just relying on the power of the British Duke in the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for the prince and the king of Han to regard him as the harmless King Qi.
Princess Han came over and said a little tiredly: "My lord, why are you so angry? Everyone in the palace is so frightened that they are trembling."
In Prince Qi's house, Zhang Min didn't know that his official career was about to reach the sky. He was working hard to match Zhu Gaojie's wits and courage.
Zhu Gaojie pursed his lips and smiled and said, "Second uncle, we are all part of the same family, why should we be so polite?"
What the fuck?!
Zhang Min almost couldn't help blurting out, "Who the hell is your second uncle?"
King Qi has moved the emperor out, what else can he say?
Zhang Min didn't know what Prince Qi was planning, so he said cautiously, "I am not lucky enough to enjoy such good tea, so just have a cup of tea."
The prince of Han pushed the fine Ru kiln vase to the ground and let it break into pieces.
Why are you so familiar with me?
The big eunuch's eyebrows stood up. He had never seen such a thing, no, he had never heard of it!
"This slave obeys your order."
Something feels wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.
"The King of Han is now very angry: "The old man really killed three birds with one stone this time. He stabbed King Qi's skin swallow, and stabbed the British prince's skin swallow."
In fact, he knew in his heart that there was no turning back.
"Prepare your horses, I have to go to Prince Qi's Mansion!" King Han roared angrily.
"Damn it, old man, what do you mean?"
"Sooner or not, no one dares to say 'no' to the marriage granted by the emperor, unless... you, the Zhang family, want to resist the decree!"
Zhu Zhanji was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to have two princes with heavy troops. The result is that either the King of Han will be eliminated or the King of Qi will be eliminated. One of the princes will have to be kicked out of the military pit.
Zhang Xi took the tea cup and took a sip. It was fresh and refreshing, leaving a fragrance on his lips and teeth. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Good tea!"
The prince, who was eating cakes leisurely, paused slightly with his hand movements, and then continued to eat cakes calmly.
…
The prince pointed in the direction of Qianqing Palace and said: "That one is clear, little boy, you still have a lot to learn."
Zhu Zhanji was puzzled: "You are really my biological father. You are still so calm after such a big mess?"
Suddenly, Zhu Di said: "Draw up a decree to promote Jinwu's vanguard commander Zhang Xi to the right commander of the Central Military Command."
"It's about getting married." Zhu Gaojie said with a smile, "After drinking this cup of tea, we will be a family from now on."
This move can be regarded as sowing discord, because various subtle situations have determined that the King of Han and King Qi will not join forces, but will fight to the death.
Regardless of the reason, he was upgraded three levels in a row.
…
Zhang Xi must admit that he underestimated Prince Qi because of the rumors.
Zhu Gaojie frowned slightly when he heard this and applied for an official position. Zhang Shi planned to distance himself from him and told him, "Although the emperor has granted marriage, our old Zhang family has not agreed to the marriage yet."
Zhu Gaojie picked up a white porcelain tea cup and handed it to Zhang Shi: "Second uncle, would you like to have a taste?"
The tea that Zhang Min just took into his mouth spurted out. He looked at Zhu Gaojie in disbelief: "What did the prince just say?"
"It's not us who should be anxious now, it's the second child."
Zhang Xi looked at the teacup and fell into deep thought.
"Second uncle, what do you mean by this!" Zhu Gaojie raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't have anything to do with you, so why should I be so vigilant? Isn't it to give me face?"
Qianqing Palace
The chief eunuch was waiting on the side, feeling a little strange and wondering why the emperor was always distracted recently.
Zhu Zhanji ran over panting, put his hands on his hips, and said hurriedly, "The Emperor has a fit again! He has given the British Duke's eldest daughter in marriage to his fourth uncle!"
Your Majesty is a saint, and his will must be reasonable.
Zhu Gaojie said with a smile, "If my second uncle likes it, I will ask my servants to send all the inventory given to me by the emperor to my second uncle's house."
"puff!"
…
How dare the chief eunuch ask anything? His duty is to do things well. Zhu Di said he would do whatever he asked him to do.
East Palace
"father!"
"Come on, grandpa has such a temper, who can persuade him?" Zhu Zhanji curled his lips and said: "The British Lord has a heavy army and is my military god of the Ming Dynasty. You are not afraid that the King of Han will win over King Qi. When the time comes, Suppress the East Palace?"
The maid brought the tea tray: "Your Majesty, please have some tea."
With this good tea in his stomach, Zhang Xiu temporarily forgot to argue with Zhu Gaojie about his second uncle.
"My lord, Jinwu's avant-garde commander, Zhang Xi, is here to see the prince." Zhang Xi bowed and saluted.
He has the British government's secrets, so he still likes the prince of Han Dynasty?
If the emperor is wrong, it means that the world is wrong, and the world should not disobey the emperor.
Zhu Zhanji was thoughtful.
"Things are getting interesting."
After sending Zhang Shi away, the smile on Zhu Gaojie's face gradually faded.
The military's pits are all so big that they cannot accommodate two dragons.
"Didn't this hit our home..." Princess Han said in a low voice, "Since it has nothing to do with us, why are you anxious?"
"You know nothing!" King Han shouted tiredly, "This last stab will kill me!"
