Above the Golden Palace, Zhu Di recalled the scene half an hour ago...
"Father..." King Zhao knelt down in front of the emperor, kowtowed heavily and said, "I was so dizzy that I came up with such a bad idea." He said with runny nose and tears, "But I didn't expect it."
Those trees were so afraid of waterlogging that even after watering them one more time, some of them withered and died..."
"You bastard!" Zhu Di was furious when he heard this. He kicked Zhu Gaosui to the ground with a flying kick. Zhu Gaosui groaned, ignored the pain, got up from the ground again, and cried: "My son was in the mansion before.
I tried it first and watered it much more than that, but the ginkgo trees in my house just lost some leaves, and now they all woke up slowly." After saying this, King Zhao felt a burst of tightness in his chest.
, he coughed twice, his face turned red and said: "My son wanted to use the fallen leaves of the ginkgo tree to tell my father that our ancestors couldn't bear the separation of our father and son, so we warned him. As long as my father refuses to listen to those treacherous ministers,
With your instigation, those Gongsun trees will definitely recover."
After hearing what his son said, the anger on Zhu Di's face became less intense. Zhu Gaosui hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "When I heard the news that those trees were dead, I wanted to die..." As he spoke, he started to snot from his nose.
He shed tears and said, "I'm just so angry with those ministers. How come they can be a loving father and a filial son, and reunite as a family all the time, but let our heavenly father and son be separated from each other? I can't imagine that I will never see my father again. What a shame."
How dark it is”
If Zhu Gaosui had been born a few hundred years later, Ma Jingtao would not have had anything to do with him. He cried so hard that he beat his chest hard and said: "Father, you are old and your holy body is not in good condition. I am a son."
I wish I could serve the emperor and fulfill my filial piety every day. If my son cannot see his father in this life, I might as well just kill him.
Zhu Gaosui cried so hard that his heart was broken, like a cuckoo crying for blood, which made Zhu Di's heart of stone soften. Looking at the face that resembled Queen Xu, he was filled with heartbreak. Zhu Di's eye circles were also red, and he hurriedly raised his head to look at the palace.
"Don't cry," he said. The emperor lowered his head and stared at Zhu Gaosui with red eyes. "I can understand that you don't want to leave the capital. I can also forgive you for killing the ginkgo tree in front of Xiaoling Palace... you
Tell me honestly, was it you who shot the arrow your second brother was hit by?" After speaking, the emperor's tone couldn't help but become gloomy.
"My second brother's arrow?" Zhu Gaosui was stunned, and then cried even more sadly: "My father actually suspected me of assassinating my second brother? Could it be that in the eyes of my father, my son is actually a ruthless person who cannot be recognized by his relatives?"
"That's not what I meant," Zhu Di shook his head and said, "I'm just surprised that not many people know about the news that your second brother went to Xiaoling. Without an insider who tipped off the news, the assassin would not have been able to succeed."
"I don't know," Zhu Gaosui said with tears, "I have had the best relationship with my second brother since I was a child. He was assassinated just like I was hit by an arrow. When I heard that my second brother was assassinated because of me, I thought
I have a dying heart and wish I could catch the assassin and cut him into pieces."
Zhu Di looked at his son carefully for a moment, and saw that he did not seem to be a hypocrite, and the emperor did not want to believe it from the bottom of his heart. His son actually assassinated another son. No matter what the purpose was, it was absolutely unforgivable.
"I have the right to trust you once. If it turns out that you lied to me in the future," Zhu Di said word by word, "Don't blame me for not thinking about the love between father and son."
"If my son is the murderer, I will not die well." Zhu Gaosui hurriedly cursed loudly: "I will go to the eighteenth level of hell, and I will never be reincarnated."
"Okay, shut up." Zhu Di felt sorry for his son again, glared at him and said, "It's just this once, it won't happen next time."
"Thank you, father, for your kindness. I will never dare to do it again." Zhu Gaosui was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Di gasped for air when he spoke, and said coldly: "But this matter has become a big deal, so we can't just let it go. We have to give an explanation to the courtiers. And the British Duke has been busy for so many days, so I have to give him an explanation."
, so that the meritorious officials will not feel resentful."
"My son, I know." Zhu Gaosui didn't know the principle of giving up as soon as he got good, so he quickly said obediently: "My son, let your father punish you."
"You are rich, and a year's fine will have no impact on you. After a while, you can go and get forty more imperial staffs, and then you can be grounded." Zhu Di's tone gradually became more severe and said: "As for how long the grounding will last, it depends on your performance.
Go back and read the books of sages, and understand what is the right way and what is the evil way. You are already a grown-up, how can you still do whatever you want? If you don’t change your ways, sooner or later, I will have to kill Ma Su with tears."
"My son, I know." Zhu Gaosui felt a chill in his heart and said dejectedly. He then listened to the emperor's instructions and said: "I ordered the Jinyi Guards not to show favoritism, and let King Zhao learn a lesson that he will remember for a lifetime." The doorway in the Jinyi Guards' staff was like Wang Xian's
The Dao Dao who play board games in the palace gate have the same origin. Of course, their level of Dauchi playing style is higher, the technology is better, and they can better meet the subtle requirements of customers. But they only have the only customer, and that is the emperor, the emperor said
They were told not to show favoritism, which meant not to overdo it, but they also wanted King Zhao to learn a lifelong lesson, so they wanted to beat King Zhao into painful flesh wounds, but they had to do it quickly.
Healed without leaving any sequelae.
"Yes." The eunuch in the hall knew it well. After receiving the order, he came to King Zhao, tied a piece of yellow silk around his neck, and said softly: "Your Highness, let's go."
"Thank you, Father." Zhu Gaosui kowtowed and said with tears, "I must reflect on my heart and strive to see my father again as soon as possible."
"Go." Zhu Di waved his hand and stopped looking at him.
Zhu Di told Zhang Fu what had just happened, and then said fiercely: "The traitor is so bold and blasphemous to our ancestors. I really want to kill him." After saying this, he said lovingly: "But his starting point is still good.
I have a lot of affection for my brother and father, but I usually neglect to discipline him, which makes him act daringly."
"..." Zhang Fu listened quietly to the emperor talking to himself there, and he felt deeply in his heart. No matter how wise and decisive Emperor Yongle was, he was just an ordinary father when he met his own son. In fact, if Yongle had been a useless person,
Daohunjun, you don't have to waste your words with him, or even punish King Zhao. But Zhu Di is a wise king who knows what is right and what is wrong. Even if he is the emperor, he cannot do whatever he wants. So the identity of the emperor and the role of the emperor
Only when roles conflicted did Zhu Di start to please him as a courtier... It was because the idea of favoring his son had prevailed, and he felt guilty due to legal principles.
It is the duty of a minister to share the worries of the emperor and his father. Of course, Zhang Fu would not make things difficult for the emperor, so he respectfully said: "King Zhao is considered a sincere and filial man, and it is excusable. What's more, he hasn't investigated the case yet.
Before tomorrow, he had taken the initiative to explain to the emperor. It can be seen that King Zhao had no intention of hiding it from the emperor. Of course, he must be punished for what he did. But since the emperor has already punished him heavily, the case can be closed.
.”
"But how do you explain it to your ancestors?" Seeing Zhang Fu descending the steps like this, Zhu Di was overjoyed, but still worried on his face.
"As for this matter, Wang Zhenfu has carefully examined it. On the one hand, excessive watering is on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is a problem with the design of the tree pit. There are no drainage holes, so the tree pit is prone to water accumulation." Zhang Fu said: "So now we should
Rebuild the tree pit in front of Xiaoling Hall, transplant a new ginkgo tree, and let King Zhao go and confess to Taizu. I believe Emperor Taizu will not blame his grandson."
"Well said." Zhu Di felt relieved after hearing this. He knew that Zhang Fu had arranged for him to go down the stairs. He thought that the British man was deeply considerate of me. He couldn't help but smile on his face, but felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly
He coughed twice and said: "It's hard to be a king, it's hard to be a father, and it's even harder to be a king and father. If you only care about the laws of the country, you will owe a debt to the family ties between father and son. If you only care about the family ties between father and son, you will inevitably offend the emperor."
The emperor said, feeling really sad and sighed: "It's just that my sons are careless. The eldest is weak and has a cowardly character. I get angry when I see his bearish appearance. The second son is the most like me. On the battlefield back then,
I rescued people several times, and my hard work was a great achievement. Those words I said back then were indeed from the bottom of my heart... But, alas, you know that when people get to that position, they think about problems from a different perspective."
"Yes." Zhang Fu nodded, convinced.
"Those civil servants say all day long that the most important thing is ethics between father and son, monarch and minister. What is ethics? The eldest son." Zhu Di frowned and said, "I don't like to hear this, because I am not the eldest son. But I have to listen, and you can't let me."
Will your children and grandchildren learn from me and raise an army to appease Nan?" He said sadly: "So even though I was extremely reluctant, I still made the eldest son the crown prince. In this way, I am full of guilt for the King of Han, how can I force him again?
As for the vassal, what if father and son never see each other again?"
The emperor was very frank and frank today, but Zhang Fu was sweating coldly after listening to it. He would rather not enjoy the emperor's frankness. If the emperor consciously made a mistake one day, how could he get his own good fruit? But at this moment, he could only be gentle.
He comforted the emperor and said: "Fathers love their sons, and sons must also be considerate of their fathers. What's more, the emperor is not only a father, but also a king. Some things cannot just follow family ties, but also have to take the court order into consideration. I hope that all your highnesses will
He is pure and filial, and he understands this in his heart."
Although Zhang Fu didn't say anything, the emperor was still very pleased with what he heard. He nodded and said: "I hope, I hope these traitors can be as sensible as you. I have nothing else to ask for." After that, he stood up.
He came and sighed: "My life is hard. Everyone has one son or several sons. But as a king's father, everyone in the Ming Dynasty is my son. As a father, I am really difficult to be considerate."
"The emperor's benevolence is a blessing to everyone in the world," Zhang Fu stood up and said respectfully.
"Don't try to flatter them too." After Zhu Di finished expressing his emotion, he felt that the hurdle in his heart was over and his mood was naturally much better. He smiled and said, "Just do what you discussed."
