Zhu Gaochi looked up and saw that it was his son, and couldn't help but smile.【】
Zhu Zhanji was still young and weak, so he could not pull Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi looked like he was working hard, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Zhanji, my father was late in welcoming your grandpa. It was a disobedience to the emperor.
Grandpa's punishment, without your Imperial Grandpa's will, dad can't get up!"
Zhu Zhanji said: "Dad, the child just saw that his father was punished. The child knew that he needed Grandpa Huang's permission before he could get up. So he immediately went to ask Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang agreed. He told his father to get up and return to the city with the guard of honor!"
Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up and he said, "Seriously?"
An official who accompanied Zhu Zhanji bowed and said, "Prince, please get up. What the Emperor Taisun said is true."
Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed and wanted to get up, but his legs were already numb from his knees. Two waiters on the left and right rushed over to help him, but they couldn't help him. After a lot of effort, with the help of the officials from the East Palace, he
The prince was able to stand up, and without waiting for him to move his numb legs, he quickly asked someone to move him to the car and chased the end of the group.
When the emperor returns to Beijing, goes to court, and is worshiped by hundreds of officials, during this process, the prince, as the crown prince, must always be by the emperor's side. Although Zhu Di does not like the prince's delay in greeting him, he cannot deprive him of it in front of internal and external ministers.
The prince's right, so he was always required to accompany him.
After the pilgrimage, Zhu Di ordered a large banquet for the emperor and his ministers to enjoy together.
These possible instructions of the emperor were anticipated by Zhu Gaoxu. The emperor had just returned to Beijing, especially since there were so many foreign envoys paying tribute. This was an unprecedented event since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor definitely wanted to celebrate it. So these preparations
He has already finished the work.
It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't give a banquet. If the emperor does give a banquet, you can't just improvise and be too hasty. All preparations in the palace are in good order, and the imperial dining room is naturally well prepared. Even the emperor's relatives, distinguished ministers, and military officials
The seating positions, including those of the envoys from various countries, have been rehearsed, so there is no panic or awkwardness.
Zhu Di saw all this in his eyes, and his gloomy expression softened a little. Xia Xun accompanied him back from Yanziji until he was stationed at the court. He never had the chance to ask the prince about the situation there until the emperor gave him a banquet.
Only then did he get the opportunity to sneak out of his seat.
The prince accompanied the emperor, and it was impossible to get to him without being noticed, so Xia Xun did not try to get close to Zhu Gaochi, but chose Yang Shiqi, an official of the East Palace. 4∴8065 Xia Xun approached Yang Shiqi and asked urgently
He said: "What's going on? Why is the prince so late to welcome you?"
Yang Shiqi turned around and saw that it was Xia Xun, and hurriedly whispered: "My lord, this is actually an accident..." Yang Shiqi briefly explained what happened, and then said: "We don't have a chance now, we plan to wait until the banquet is over.
Then follow the prince to explain the whole story to the emperor..."
Xia Xun immediately interrupted him and said in a deep voice: "The important thing is not to explain, but to apologize! It is not necessary for the prince to explain the explanation, the prince only needs to apologize! It is best for the grandson to do it, and you can also come to the emperor's final decision.
If you love the grandson of the emperor, let him explain it, and you will get twice the result with half the effort. Also, someone must take care of all the ill-thoughts, and be sure to protect the prince!"
Yang Shiqi's expression changed and he said: "My lord, I just missed the meeting for some reason. Is it so serious?"
Xia Xun stared at the emperor on the throne with a heavy gaze. Zhu Di was turning his head to talk to King Bo Ni who was sitting close by. Xia Xun said in a low voice: "I just hope...it won't be more serious than this!"
Xia Xun turned around and left. Yang Shiqi stared at his back, his expression changing rapidly. After a slight hesitation, he hurriedly left!
After the banquet, all the officials left the palace, and Zhu Di sent King Bali and the envoys from other countries to His Majesty Dan with a very cordial attitude.
The envoys of Japan and Timur are the most anxious at the moment. Their countries are in a raging war. They can't wait to talk to Emperor Yongle about this matter immediately. If they can get the support of Ming Dynasty, they can go back to meet him.
Poor. If the Ming Emperor could cooperate with him militarily, that would be an unexpected surprise.
But they also knew that Emperor Yongle had just returned to Beijing today and had just hosted a banquet for foreign envoys and ministers. It was not appropriate to discuss military and state affairs at this time, so they had to endure it, like a pair of resentful couples who had not been favored by the emperor for a long time.
, only looked at Zhu Di with a pair of resentful eyes.
Zhu Di already knew the reason for their tribute. Seeing their appearance, he couldn't help but smile. He ordered the officer to tell them that he would meet them specially at a time. The envoys of the two countries were overjoyed and resigned and left the palace happily. Zhu Di was traveling all the way.
After being tired, after returning to the capital, he accepted the worship of the ministers and entertained the envoys from various countries non-stop. When he was really tired, he went to the harem to rest.
As soon as he reached the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di saw the prince kneeling by the roadside, and his face suddenly darkened. When Zhu Gaochi heard the footsteps, he raised his head slightly and saw the sleeves of the dragon robe. He immediately kowtowed heavily and said loudly: "
My son has missed the time to welcome you, and has committed a serious crime. I respectfully ask my father to punish me!"
Zhu Di smiled coldly and said: "You also know how to be rude? When I came back from Beijing, there was no shortage of military officials and foreign envoys. You are my son and the superintendent of the country, but you were so late that you ended up in embarrassment on the road.
Welcome Gao Chi! You haven't become an emperor yet, but the emperor's arrogance is greater than that of a father!"
This sentence was so heart-wrenching that Zhu Gaochi was so shocked that he sweated like rain and kowtowed repeatedly, saying: "I am guilty, I know my guilt, and I am willing to be punished by my father in order to establish the national law and make it normal!"
The two sentences Xia Xun hurriedly told Yang Shiqi were exactly what Zhu Gaochi wanted. He had just tried to remain calm at the banquet, and had been thinking about how to explain it to the emperor. Zhu Gaochi knew his father's temperament well and thought about it over and over again.
I always feel that instead of defending, it is better to plead guilty, just to plead guilty very simply.
Although the emperor should know the reason for his delay in welcoming the emperor, he could not say it himself. After receiving Xia Xun's reminder, Zhu Gaochi made up his mind, so he just kowtowed to apologize and said nothing else.
Zhu Di said coldly: "As a prince, your words and deeds should set an example for all officials. Establishing national laws is normal? Yes, it turns out that you also understand this truth. You think you can be spared if you apologize to me! Gao Chi, my son
If you make mistakes, your father will forgive you. If your ministers make mistakes, the king will have clear rewards and punishments! You and I are not just father and son, but also king and minister!"
Zhu Gaochi became even more frightened when he heard this. He didn't dare to say anything, but just kowtowed: "I am willing to be punished by my father!"
Human feelings are like this, even between father and son. They are the same. If I don't like you and you just sit there and eat, I will be inexplicably annoyed. I will put down my chopsticks and scold you, with a look of disgust on my face.
, what can you do? His son, whom he looks fond of, steals the money he hid under the mattress to buy snacks today, and smashes the neighbor's glass window with a kick of a football tomorrow. I still treat him as such.
His eyes were rare, which made him so embarrassed. If Zhu Gaosui was responsible for the slow greeting, I'm afraid Zhu Di wouldn't even bother to scold him. The little fat man felt aggrieved, but he just kowtowed to apologize and didn't dare to say anything.
Linguistic justification.
He is very angry. If he pleads that he is unjust, Zhu Di will treat it as sophistry for any reason.
Your horse stumbled? Your car broke down? Why did you go there earlier? Why didn't you even pay attention to repairing your own horse and car? How can you sweep the world if you don't clean one house! Your car broke down? You can't ride to the river first
Do you have to sit calmly in the car while picking up the driver? You misjudged the time it will take for me to get back? I'm sorry you originally planned to pick up the driver, but do you still have me as your father in your heart?
Zhu Xiaopang honestly admitted his mistake, but Zhu Di looked like he didn't want to spare him. Zhu Di was still angry and was about to scold him. A young man from a distance suddenly ran over with a "thump thump" and without saying a word, he went to Zhu Gaochi's side and "porphy"
Kneeling down, Zhu Di saw that it was his precious grandson Zhu Zhanji. He couldn't help but wonder: "Zhanji, what are you doing?"
Zhu Zhanji said: "The emperor punished his father, and the grandson came to be punished with his father."
Zhu Di was shocked and said: "You child, your father has violated the official etiquette, what does it have to do with you? Don't mess around, get up quickly."
Zhu Zhanji loudly said: "The ancient wise people said: A filial son should not let his relatives have a cold heart, a troubled heart, a fearful heart, a melancholy heart, a hard-to-speak heart, and a shameful heart. My father was punished by the emperor and was shocked.
He is frightened, depressed, and inexplicably remorseful. My grandson feels the same way. Since he cannot bear the pain for his father, he can only bear it with his father. This is fulfilling his filial piety!"
When Zhu Di heard this, Long Yan was overjoyed, a smile appeared on his face, and he said warmly: "Grandson, your father made a mistake, it was not you who made the mistake. Grandpa Huang was enforcing the law of the country, not the law of the family. Good grandson
, get up quickly, your little arms are so tender and tender, they won’t be bruised for a while, get up quickly, get up quickly.”
Zhu Zhanji was not willing to agree. He only raised his head and said: "Grandfather, there are no bad parents in the world. In the eyes of the grandson, the father is the father. You can't tell whether you are wrong or I am wrong. If the father is really at fault, then he is the grandson."
Please forgive your grandson's mistake, please punish your grandson, spare your grandson's father, and fulfill your grandson's filial piety!"
Zhu Di was a little surprised and said, "Who taught you these words?"
Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "This is the master's teaching, the sage's teaching! My grandson has long remembered it in his heart!"
Zhu Di was silent for a moment, sighed softly, rubbed his head and said: "Good grandson, good grandson, get up. Grandpa will not punish your father. Get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"
Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed to express his gratitude and hurriedly kowtowed. Prince Zhu Gaochi also hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I thank you, my father!"
Zhu Di turned his face to him, and the weather turned cloudy again. He snorted heavily and said, "You, if your son is so well-behaved, I don't know how much worry I will have to worry about! Go back to Taizigong and think about your past!"
Ji, let’s go and take a bath with grandpa!”
"Oh!" Zhu Zhanji agreed, got up and took Zhu Di's hand, turned to wink at his father.
Zhu Gaochi was very depressed: "I am honest and follow the rules, so why do you worry? If you do well, everything will be fine. If you do not do well..., what can I do?"
