The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

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

Immediately sighed and said to Zhu Xi beside him: "Xi'er, now that your elder brother is gone, among these princes, you are the boss."

"Master of the kings, you should shoulder your responsibilities instead of causing trouble for us like before."

"If we were like your elder brother, we would have saved a lot of thought."

Hearing his father's reprimand, Zhu Xi could only bow his head slightly.

He was gloating at the conflict between the third child and the fourth child just now.

If the eldest brother is here, he will definitely go up to persuade the brothers to be harmonious.

How could he possibly think of these things.

After a little hesitation, Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Ying who was beside him and said, "Isn't my eldest nephew here?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's beard blew up with anger.

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

"You rebellious son, you really want to piss us off, anyway, you are also a big brother now, and the people behind you are all your younger brothers, and you actually say such stupid things as asking your own nephew to come forward."

"I think you don't want to go to any Japanese country anymore, but stay in the capital honestly for us."

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

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

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

It is not that there are conflicts among the various families, and there is harmony.

In the end, this guy was lucky, and he all counted on Da Sun.

Then what kind of Japanese country do you want to go to?

"Ah, Royal Father, this is not going to work, everyone on my son's side is already ready."

Zhu Xi became impatient all of a sudden.

He had prepared for a long time in advance for this trip to the Wa country, and there was an endless stream of people coming to give gifts these days.

I just look forward to going to Japan to make money on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Now that it is suddenly stopped, then there is nothing left.

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

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

Seeing that his father could not turn around, Zhu Xi immediately turned around and spoke kindly to Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying was also speechless.

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

"Okay, second uncle, let's leave this in advance, there are so many people here."

Zhu Xi wanted to say something more, but was stared back by Zhu Ying.

After the show.

Zhu Xi hurriedly came to Kunning Palace again.

"Nephew, you have to help the second uncle."

Zhu Ying said speechlessly: "That's all the old man's angry words, but the second uncle still has to be quiet recently, if you really want to give the old man a head, maybe you will be banned from the capital."

"At that time, even if I go to intercede, I'm afraid it will be useless."

Hearing this answer, Zhu Xi finally felt relieved.

However, he still asked worriedly, "Father, you should be fine."

Zhu Ying pushed Zhu Xi to the door: "Just put your mind at ease, Second Uncle, it's fine."

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

Zhu Xi was pushed all the way to the door, and knew that he was annoying: "Okay, the second uncle's wealth and wealth in the rest of his life will be happy, but I will leave it all to my eldest nephew."

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

Zhu Ying took advantage of the situation and turned her head to look over, and it was Zhu Gaochi who came.

"Second Uncle, Eldest Brother."

Zhu Gaochi bowed and bowed.

Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Gaochi, and was about to say something casually.

The scolding from the previous father flashed in my mind, and I lost my mind at the moment.

After saying hello, he said, "Eldest nephew, I'll leave first, please take care of your father's help."

Zhu Ying wished this guy would leave sooner.

What was originally a simple matter is always annoying to talk about.

After Zhu Xing left here, Zhu Gaochi followed him inside.

"Why did you come to me at this point? Is there some difficulty here, or is it because I'm worried that your father will come over and snatch your seat?"

After Zhu Ying called Zhu Gaochi to sit down in the yard, she joked.

The current Zhu Gaochi is undoubtedly an embarrassing situation.

Originally, he was the master of Yancheng in the country of Wa, but now Yan Wang Zhu Di has passed away, and his two younger brothers have passed away.

Many things naturally lead to more conflict.

The most important thing is the concept of governance.

Through the intelligence from the Wa Kingdom, Zhu Ying knew that Zhu Gaochi wanted to develop the influence of Ming Dynasty, and eliminate the hostility of the people of the Wa Kingdom to Ming Dynasty, so as to achieve the concept of enlightenment.

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

Most of the people of the Japanese country under the rule also supported Zhu Gaochi very much. The only mineral deposit was not actually grabbed by Zhu Gaochi by sending troops, but was sent by the nobles of the Japanese country themselves.

From this aspect, it can be seen that Zhu Gaochi is already very popular.

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

The conflict between Zhu Di and Zhu Yan is deep and irreconcilable, and there will be no fight on the surface, but there will definitely be rivalry in the dark.

Today's incident made Zhu Di feel angry in his heart. After arriving in Japan, it is conceivable that he will definitely send troops to plunder all kinds of mineral deposits.

It's like breaking Zhu Gaochi's previous layout to pieces.

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

In fact, on this point, Zhu Ying didn't have much feeling.

Whether it is Zhu Di or Zhu Gaochi's ruling philosophy, there is no problem, and as far as the general trend is concerned, there will definitely be wars with Japan in the near future, and Zhu Gaochi's method is easier to keep the territory stable.

However, all the overseas feudal lands have been sealed off, and Zhu Ying doesn't bother to care so much. The long distance will cause a long delay in communication, and these things can only be decided by himself.

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

"There is an aristocratic girl in Wa country. I like it very much, but I am worried that my father will not agree. I want to ask my elder brother to help me."

Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment.

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

It's normal to think about it, after all, Zhu Gaochi has reached the age to get married now.

Speaking of which, Zhu Gaochi is just a young man, since ancient times, heroes have been unable to escape the beauty test, let alone when he was young.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Ying said: "Naturally, women from the Wa country are also possible. The Wa country cannot be destroyed in a day, and there will be more disputes in the future. It is also a good choice."

"It's just that you are the son of King Yan, so you must not be the first wife, so let's get a concubine Ping at that time."

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

Throughout the ages, until the Ming Dynasty, in fact, there has never been the idea of ​​equal wives, and it was only in the Qing Dynasty.

Only one official wife has always been recognized.

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

So Zhu Gaochi didn't understand.

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "You just told the Japanese nobleman that because of your father's reason, you can't give the position of Zhengfei. The so-called Pingfei means that the status is the same as that of Zhengfei."

"That's not a bad treatment for the nobles of the Japanese country."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help feeling a little 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, so what else can I say, just let it pass in face."

"If you take a concubine from the Wa country, there is naturally an extra line there, and then in the development of the Wa country, isn't it equivalent to having internal support?"

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

"You're not alone anymore."

There is no doubt that this is what Wa country likes to do the most, and their own culture is more inclined to this aspect.

The woman Zhu Gaochi likes was naturally arranged by the Japanese country.

In fact, it's not just Zhu Gaochi.

In Yancheng, Jincheng, and Qicheng, a large number of Japanese noble women entered. According to the requirements of the Japanese nobles, they tried their best to get close to those high-ranking generals or ministers in the city.

Even if you are a concubine, it doesn't matter, as long as you can communicate.

Uncle Zhang was a little worried after knowing these things, but Zhu Ying was not worried at all.

Influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, women in the Wa country also have the concept of marrying a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog, and no matter whether it is in the Wa country or Ming Dynasty, it is also a sin for a woman to interfere with her husband's affairs.

To put it bluntly, it is more like a commodity, a plaything, and its status is very low.

Naturally, as Zhu Gaochi's concubine, this is completely different.

The woman who came over from the country of Wa also belongs to the blood of the royal family of the country of Wa, and is probably a princess.

"Brother said so, I am relieved."

Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief.

The corners of Zhu Ying's mouth curled up slightly, and she asked, "I also know about the matter between you and fourth uncle. If you want to avoid it, I can find a way."

"Annan just needs manpower to go there. With your ability, you happen to be doing education. If you are interested, I can arrange it for you."

"It also happens to avoid your father and king, and let go of your own hands and feet to do it."

This is not Zhu Ying's joke. If Zhu Gaochi agrees, he really wants to work in Annan for a few years.

Zhu Gaochi is still very thoughtful about internal affairs, and his structure is high enough, which has a great effect on easing the sharp conflict between Annan and Daming.

In addition, I now have experience in the governance of the Japanese country, and I was quick to get started in the past.

Zhu Gaochi was undoubtedly moved when he heard this.

Why did he want to stay in the shadow of his father Zhu Di?

It is conceivable that when the father and two younger brothers arrive in the Wa country, all the power in Yancheng will be taken away, and he will be reduced to a marginal figure.

It's almost the same as the Peking Palace back then.

The name of the son, in fact, does not seem to be of much use.

Seeing Zhu Gaochi's hesitant look, Zhu Ying said angrily, "Don't think that anyone can go to Annan's place."

"Annan is facing the sea. I am vigorously expanding the navy to strengthen trade and transportation in the entire Nanyang region."

"It can be seen that in the near future, whether it is Annan or Champa, they will become more prosperous because of maritime trade, and this is also an opportunity for you to show your talents."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi immediately wanted to agree.

But when the words came to his lips, he still hesitated.

He hesitated and said, "I'd better discuss this matter with my father before making a decision."

Zhu Ying smiled: "Everyone in Annan hasn't realized it yet. By then, there will be no room for grabs. Do you think I must give it to you?"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi bowed and bowed with a hippie smile: "Thank you, brother."

The relationship between the two is friendly.

It has been like this ever since she was in Beiping, and after Zhu Ying entered the palace, she recovered quickly after a period of time interval.

According to Zhu Ying's words, when Zhu Gaochi met him, he never cared about his identity as a businessman.

Now they are all brothers of their own family, but they are even more unfamiliar, what's the point of that.

After talking, the relationship returned to the past.

Zhu Gaochi naturally relaxed.

Of course, no matter how you relax, now that Zhu Ying is a grandson, there will always be great changes.

"Brother Gao Chi!"

At this time, a voice came from the inner courtyard.

Zhu Gaochi heard a familiar voice and turned his head to look.

With a bit of surprise on his face, he said: "Miaojin, why are you here?"

The matter between Xu Miaojin and Zhu Ying has not been made public yet, that is, it has not been officially canonized, but the canonization is only a matter of this period of time.

After that night, Xu Miaojin simply moved to live in the palace.

Now Ye Yueqing can't share the same room, and the four concubines are all pregnant, so His Royal Highness can't let His Royal Highness stay alone in the empty room every day.

This is a major matter that concerns the country.

So Xu Miaojin came directly to the palace.

The affairs of the emperor's family are naturally different from those of ordinary people, even in this world.

When Xu Miaojin heard Zhu Gaochi's doubts, her face turned reddish, she stood beside Zhu Ying with her head down and did not answer.

At this time, it was naturally Zhu Ying who spoke.

"From now on, Miao Jin will be my concubine Jin, and the canonization will only happen in the past few days."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi paused for a moment. He didn't expect that he failed to make a match before, but now that he went to the Wa country, Xu Miaojin had already got what he wanted.

"Then I will call my sister-in-law in the future."

Regarding this situation, Zhu Gaochi was also happy for Xu Miaojin.

Zhu Ying said with a smile: "When I first met Miao Jin, it was you who laid the thread in the middle. I should thank you very much for this."

"At the canonization banquet, come over and have a drink or two."

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up and said, "Then I want to drink mince wine."

Mince fruit wine is a low-alcohol wine produced by Zhuying's winery here. It tastes mellow and non-irritating, but it has a relatively strong stamina. It is very popular among the upper class.

However, because of the brewing, the output cannot increase and the price is expensive.

Zhu Ying said heartily: "Okay, that's enough."
