First, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the contact between Zhu Di and Zhu Fan.

Then he sighed and said to Zhu Ping next to him: "Pang'er, now that your eldest brother is gone, you are the eldest among these princes."

"Chief of all kings, you should shoulder your responsibilities instead of just causing us trouble like before."

"If I were like your elder brother, I would save a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing his father's reprimand, Zhu Ping could only lower his head slightly.

He was still gloating about the conflict between the third and fourth children just now.

If the eldest brother were here, he would definitely go up and persuade the brothers to make peace.

How could he possibly think of this?

After a slight hesitation, Zhu Ping looked at Zhu Ying next to him and said, "Isn't my nephew here?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's beard was so angry that he puffed up.

Regardless of the public, he stood up and hit Zhu Xi on the head.

"You're such a traitor, you really want to piss us off to death, don't you? After all, you are also the eldest brother now, and all the people behind you are your younger brothers. You actually said such stupid things as asking your nephew to come forward."

"I think you don't want to go to any Japanese country. You'd better stay in the capital for us."

"It's really far worse than the third and fourth sons."

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the angrier he became.

Today's words are specifically to remind Zhu Xi, so that he can act like a big brother now and take good care of these younger brothers, so that the relationship between Lao Zhu's family can be reconciled.

There won't be conflicts between each family and there will be harmony.

It turned out that this guy was lucky, and he was counting on Da Sun.

Then why don't you go to a Japanese country?

"Ah, Father, this can't be done. Everyone on my side is already ready."

Zhu Xi became anxious all of a sudden.

He had been preparing for this trip to Japan for a long time, and there was an endless stream of people coming to give gifts in the past few days.

I was looking forward to setting off on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to go to Japan to make gold.

Now that it is suddenly stopped, wouldn’t it mean that everything is gone?

Although the capital city is prosperous, under the eyes of the emperor, he has to be timid in everything he does.

"Eldest nephew, you have to help my second uncle."

Seeing that his father was unable to turn around, Zhu Feng immediately turned around and said good things to Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying was also speechless.

If you say this at this point, aren't you looking for scolding?

"Okay, Uncle Second, leave this alone, there are so many people here."

Zhu Xi wanted to say something more, but Zhu Ying glared back.

After the show.

Zhu Xi hurriedly came to Kunning Palace again.

"Eldest nephew, you have to help my second uncle."

Zhu Ying said speechlessly: "Those are all the old man's angry words, but my second uncle still needs to be more at ease recently. If you really get on top of the old man, you might even be banned from the capital."

"When that time comes, even if I try to intercede, I'm afraid it will be of no use."

After Zhu Xi heard this answer, he finally felt relieved.

However, he still asked with some worry: "Father, everything should be fine."

Zhu Ying pushed Zhu Ping out of the door: "Just rest assured, uncle, it'll be fine."

"As long as nothing happens again, I guarantee that you will leave on time on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Zhu Xi was pushed all the way to the door, and he knew that he was annoying: "Okay, then the second uncle's wealth and happiness for the rest of his life will all be left to the eldest nephew."

Outside the door, footsteps were heard on the road not far away.

Zhu Ying turned around and looked over. The person coming was none other than Zhu Gaochi.

"Second uncle, eldest brother."

Zhu Gaochi bowed and bowed.

Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Gaochi and was about to say a few words casually.

My father's scolding from earlier flashed through my mind, and I lost all thought.

After saying hello, he said: "Eldest nephew, I'm leaving first. I'll take care of your help from my father."

Zhu Ying wished this guy would leave as soon as possible.

What was originally a simple thing becomes annoying to keep talking about.

After Zhu Xi left, Zhu Gaochi followed him inside.

"Why are you here at this time? Are you encountering some difficulties here, or are you worried that your father will go over and steal your seat?"

After Zhu Ying asked Zhu Gaochi to sit down in the yard, he said jokingly.

Zhu Gaochi is undoubtedly in a very embarrassing situation now.

Originally, he was in charge of Yancheng in the Japanese Kingdom, but now Yan King Zhu Di has passed, and his two younger brothers have passed.

Many things naturally lead to more conflicts.

The most important thing is the governing philosophy.

Through the intelligence from the Japanese country, Zhu Ying knew that Zhu Gaochi wanted to develop the influence of the Ming Dynasty and eliminate the hostility of the Japanese people towards the Ming Dynasty and achieve the concept of enlightenment.

Among them, the business environment in Yancheng is the safest, best and fairest.

Most of the people of the Japanese country under his rule also supported Zhu Gaochi. In fact, Zhu Gaochi did not send troops to snatch the only mineral deposit, but it was the nobles of the Japanese country who sent it themselves.

From this aspect, we can see that Zhu Gaochi is already very popular.

But when Zhu Di goes to Japan later this year, the situation will definitely change greatly.

The conflict between Zhu Di and Zhu Fan is deep and irreconcilable. They won't fight on the surface, but they will definitely compete secretly.

Today's events made Zhu Di feel angry. After arriving in Japan, it can be imagined that troops will be sent out to plunder all kinds of mineral deposits.

It is equivalent to directly smashing Zhu Gaochi's early layout to pieces.

And Zhu Di himself didn't care at all about the Japanese people, so he would naturally make the situation that Zhu Gaochi finally achieved disappear.

In fact, Zhu Ying didn't feel much about this.

Whether it is Zhu Di or Zhu Gaochi's governing philosophy, there is no problem, and in terms of the general trend, there will definitely be war with the Japanese country in the near future. Zhu Gaochi's method is easier to maintain stability in the territory.

However, the overseas vassals were sealed off, and Zhu Ying was too lazy to take care of that much. The long distance would cause long delays in communication, so he could only make the decision on these matters himself.

Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I have thought about my father's matter for a long time. It is not because of this that I came to see my elder brother today."

"There is a noble girl in the Japanese country. I really like her, but I am worried that my father will not agree. I want to ask my eldest brother to help me."

Zhu Ying was stunned immediately.

He thought about it in all directions, but he didn't expect that Zhu Gaochi fell in love with a Japanese woman.

It's normal when you think about it, after all, Zhu Gaochi is now old enough to get married.

Speaking of which, Zhu Gaochi is just a young man. Since ancient times, heroes have never been able to escape the trap of beauty, let alone when they are in their prime of life.

Zhu Ying pondered for a while and then said: "Women from the Japanese country are naturally acceptable. The Japanese country cannot be destroyed in one day, and there will be more disputes in the future, but it is still a good choice."

"It's just that since you are the Crown Prince of Yan, you will definitely not be able to be your first wife. When the time comes, you can find a common concubine."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned: "Brother, what does Ping Fei mean?"

Throughout the ages, until the Ming Dynasty, there was actually no such thing as equal wives. It was only in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties that there was a concept.

Only one official wife has always been recognized.

The so-called "three wives and four concubines" originally referred to the emperor's harem, which was called his wife, but that was also under the queen.

So Zhu Gaochi didn't understand.

Zhu Ying smiled and said: "You just told the Japanese noble that because of your father's reasons, you can't be given the position of princess. The so-called plain concubine means that the status is the same as that of the princess."

"In this way, we have not treated the nobles of the Japanese country badly."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel guilty: "Can it still be like this?"

Zhu Ying patted Zhu Gaochi on the shoulder: "Why can't it be like this? Anyway, it's the Japanese country over there. What can I say? As long as we can get over it in terms of face."

"If you take a concubine from a Japanese woman, you will naturally have an extra line there, and then in terms of the development of the Japanese country, isn't it equivalent to having an internal source?"

"Let's say that the Japanese country likes to engage in marriages the most now. I saw that not only you, but also your two younger brothers, and the sons of the second, third, and seventh uncles, probably all do this.
