The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, the Palace of King Yan.

It was night, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi who lowered his head slightly, and fell into deep thought.

As for Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui next to Zhu Di, their faces were filled with uncontrollable surprise.

Xu Yihua had a worried look on his face.

Just after dinner, when Zhu Di's family was resting, Zhu Gaochi told his father Zhu Di that he had met his elder brother Zhu Ying today.

And the Annan matter that the eldest brother said, also spoke out.

After Zhu Di listened, he didn't answer, but fell silent.

After a while, he looked at Zhu Gaochi carefully, and asked, "Chi'er, have you ever blamed your father?"

Zhu Gaochi didn't know how to answer this sudden sentence, and he didn't expect his father to ask such a question suddenly.

Immediately said: "It is naturally impossible for the child to blame the father."

This answer is very official, but it is not what Zhu Di wants.

During the time he was captured on the grassland, Zhu Di thought about many issues quietly.

Have their own, but also have a family.

Zhu Di had never considered these things before. He had been thinking about how to gain more military power and how to conquer more territories.

I never thought that I would be captured one day.

Of course, today, in fact, Zhu Di has probably guessed that his whereabouts should have been revealed by his grandson Zhu Ying.

But these are irrelevant.

Regarding the matter of being captured, Zhu Di seemed to be calm on the surface, as if he didn't care much about it, but in fact, he was really blown away by being as proud as he was, and suddenly woke up.

He is not invincible, and it is impossible not to fail, there will always be various accidents.

After getting rid of the impetuousness in his heart, Zhu Di now gives people a feeling of being reborn.

It's not that I've become humble, or that I've become low-key.

It's just that the current Zhu Di is closer to the historical Emperor Yongle, and the city is deeper.

Looking at his eldest son.

Looking back on these years, Zhu Di suddenly realized that he seemed to be sorry for him.

He wanted to abolish the title of his son several times. If it wasn't for the father, he might have chosen someone else.

In fact, Zhu Di did not intend to seize the power of his eldest son Zhu Gaochi when he went to the Wa country this time.

According to some news, the current Yancheng of the Wa country is developing very well, and all aspects of management are also in place.

He also knew that leading troops to war was not his eldest son's strong point, but internal affairs were.

This trip to the Wa Kingdom, Zhu Di made up his mind, he will not interfere in the internal affairs of Yancheng, and leave it to his eldest son to govern.

He himself led his soldiers to fight for mineral deposits outside.

One outside and one inside, presumably they can cooperate very tacitly.

Now that the eldest son proposed to go to Annan, Zhu Di thought that it was not Zhu Ying's initiative to mention it, but his own eldest son's idea, which probably got Zhu Ying's support.

This made Zhu Di suddenly feel that he didn't know how to speak.

Xu Yihua next to him turned to look at Zhu Di's expression.

After being married for many years, she can certainly guess what her prince thinks.

However, these things at home cannot be changed in a day or two.

After thinking for a while, Xu Yihua said: "I have been staying in Daming, but I have heard some news."

"In the past, the status of the navy was not very good, but now the grandson supports it strongly. It can be seen that there is great development in the Nanyang area. It is good for Chi'er to go to experience it."

Obviously Xu Yihua still wanted Zhu Gaochi to go to Annan to avoid the dispute here.

She knew that even if the prince wanted to let go, he still had two sons.

And it is better to avoid one section, or look at the development of two aspects.

If Chi'er can develop better in Annan, it will also save some trivial matters at home, and the future arrangements for the other two sons can be considered to be somewhat settled.

She knows the ability of her eldest son, and she has a good personal relationship with the grandson, no matter what, she will not be bad.

Hearing this, Zhu Di hesitated for a while, and then slowly said: "The weather in Annan is extremely hot, Chi'er, you are fat, I'm afraid you will not be able to bear it."

This sentence comes out.

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback.

Even Xu Yihua was stunned.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's eyes were more like seeing a ghost.

Because this was the first time, the first time Zhu Di expressed concern for his eldest son.

Zhu Gaochi's eye sockets turned red immediately.

It was from this sentence that he knew that the current father was completely different from the previous one.

"Father, I..I..I."

Zhu Gaochi's choked up voice was full of surprise, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

For ten years.

Zhu Di never had a good word for Zhu Gaochi, so naturally he didn't have a good face.

He even felt that a fat man like Zhu Gaochi had lost his family tradition.

At many banquets, Zhu Di would not even choose to take Zhu Gaochi to participate, but led Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, the two second sons who resembled him.

Zhu Gaochi has never had any fatherly love since he was a child.

Fortunately, Princess Xu Yihua loves her eldest son Zhu Gaochi very much. This is the flesh that fell out of her body. No matter what it is, she likes it.

When he was a child, Zhu Gaochi had been living in the capital, and studied at the court academy with other princes and grandchildren.

Zhu Yuanzhang also loves Zhu Gaochi very much, and hates Zhu Di's two second sons.

Zhu Di has been warned many times not to have the idea of ​​abolishing Zhu Gaochi's son status.

Zhu Di is naturally afraid of his father, or that there is no prince or grandson who is not afraid of him.

Resentment can only be expressed at home.

However, even when Zhu Di was in Beiping, he often fought outside, which prevented Zhu Gaochi from being reprimanded every day.

Now Zhu Di has come to his senses.

He patted his eldest son on the shoulder.

Zhu Di said: "Your mother and concubine are right. It is good to go to Annan for some experience. Like the Wa country, it is also the place for great development in the future."

"You go to Annan first. If you don't adapt to the environment there, you can talk to Taisun and then go back to Wa Kingdom."

Having said that, Zhu Di paused slightly, as if making an announcement.

"You are my eldest son and the future King of Yan, and Yan City of the Wa Kingdom will also be yours in the future."

Wait for the words to come out.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's expressions changed drastically.

Especially Zhu Gaoxu.

As the second son, he is the most likely to inherit the Wa Kingdom in the future if his father doesn't like his elder brother.

Immediately, he couldn't help saying: "Father."

Before he could say it, Zhu Di turned his head and stared back at what Zhu Gaoxu wanted to say.

With a cold snort, he looked at the two sons and said, "He is your elder brother, the son of King Yan who was conferred by your grandfather himself, the throne of King Yan, and the city of Yan, the country of Japan, are naturally inherited by your elder brother."

"This is also Daming's rule!"

These words are tantamount to directly saying that they are dead, and it is also Zhu Di who wants to cut off the thoughts in the hearts of the two sons.

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately felt extremely wronged.

Since childhood, my father loves me the most. I have marched and fought with my father very early, and I have made a lot of contributions.

He still remembered that his father once said in front of many generals that he was the most like his father.

But why, it suddenly happened today.

Relatively speaking, Zhu Gaosui was calmer.

After all, he is the third son, whether it is the eldest brother or the second brother, anyway, it is his turn.

But in terms of personal relationship, he and his second brother are naturally much better.

Although he once bullied his eldest brother, there was no big conflict.

It is the father who has the final say on left and right.

Xu Yihua looked at his second son's aggrieved look, and said with a bit of resentment: "Xu'er, you must learn from your elder brother."

"Your elder brother is already fat and weak, and he is willing to go to the extremely hot Nanyang land and give up the painstakingly managed Yancheng of the Japanese country. What is the reason for you, and it is not for the brotherhood between you."

"Not to mention that the place of Wa is better than Daming, and it's not just Yancheng alone. After you follow, won't your father and king lay some foundations for you?"

"Since you were young, your elder brother has suffered a lot of grievances, and now he is still thinking about you, and chose to go to Annan alone to develop."

"It's already like this, do you still want to snatch the inheritance that your grandpa bestowed on your elder brother?"

"On weekdays, you are very majestic. Now that you have gone to Wa Kingdom and your father's help, why can't you lay down a piece of land by yourself."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yihua turned to look at Zhu Gaosui: "Don't just watch from the sidelines, you and your second brother are the same."

Zhu Gaosui immediately bowed his head and said, "Mother and concubine taught me the lesson."

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu also felt a little ashamed when he thought of what he had done to his elder brother.

Zhu Di looked at his wife with joy in his eyes.

This made him seem to see the figure of a queen mother in his wife.

Xu Yihua has been with Empress Ma since she was a child, so of course she has learned a lot.

Why is it said that Zhu Yuanzhang's contribution to conquering the world is half that of Queen Ma, probably because Queen Ma played a decisive role in logistics.

Zhu Yuanzhang has many adoptive sons, and all of these adoptive sons are devoted to Zhu Yuanzhang like Mu Ying, and serve their lives desperately.

The key reason lies in Queen Ma.

Even Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, these wives and children lived together with Empress Ma before Daming was established, and all the conflicts were quelled.

Not only did it not cause any trouble to Zhu Yuanzhang, but on the contrary, it stabilized the morale of the army to a large extent.

Xu Yihua's adjustments today are similar to that of Empress Ma back then, calming down all the conflicts with a few words.

This is the important role of the true mother of the family.

After this conversation was over, when his sons had left, Zhu Di got up and put his arms around Xu Yihua.

"You've worked hard all these years."

Even if they are old couples, Xu Yihua couldn't help but blushed: "What are you doing, I don't know how to be ashamed, this is in the lobby."

Zhu Di laughed and said: "It's getting dark, I still care so much, let's get closer tonight."

Xu Yihua gently pushed Zhu Di away, and said, "It's probably been many years since I went to Wa this time, what do you think?"

Zhu Di was a little confused, so he asked: "What do you think, except for Chi'er, of course they went together."

Xu Yihua was a little unhappy, and said: "Why, in your heart, you only have a son, and a daughter is not your own?"

"Yuying has already reached the age to leave the court, and Yuegui, Hongyun, and Zhiming are all about the same."

"Are you going to bring them all to the country of Wa? How will the future marriage be decided? How can there be any outstanding young heroes of yours in the country of Wa?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di was a little at a loss.

Xu Yihua not only gave birth to three sons to Zhu Di, but also four daughters.

The eldest daughter Zhu Yuying, the second daughter Zhu Yuegui, the third daughter Zhu Hongyun, and the fourth daughter Zhu Zhiming.

The youngest, Zhu Zhiming, was also born in Hongwu in 18 years, and is now ten years old.

The eldest daughter, Zhu Yuying, was born in Hongwu ten years ago, and she is already this year.

Zhu Di has never cared about these daughters, and the daughters also live in the backyard on weekdays, and Xu Yihua takes care of them.

As the daughter of King Yan, she is like a lady of every family. Except for some festivals, she basically stays out of the gate.

Zhu Di was very troubled at the moment.

The four daughters specified that they could not go to the country of Wa. If they went to the country of Wa, getting married would be a problem.

How could Zhu Di be willing to marry the nobles of the Wa Kingdom?

No matter what, it has to be the right family, at least not too different.

Seeing Zhu Di's troubled look, Xu Yihua said, "Yuying and Zhiming are both old enough to leave the court. Sons are important, and you can't ignore your daughter."

"Because of the new year's end, there are many talented people in the capital, so I also decided on the marriage. Although it is a bit urgent, you have to wait until you get married before you can go to Japan."

"Hongyun and Zhiming are still young, I will take them with you to the country of Wa, wait a few years until the age of leaving the cabinet, and then we will return to the capital at Zhengdan, and we will also end the marriage."

After Zhu Di listened, he relaxed a little.

Xu Yihua obviously has already arranged everything about the daughters, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Zhu Di said with a smile, "It's all up to you."

When Xu Yihua heard this, he couldn't help but give Zhu Di a blank look.

The backyard of the palace.

Zhu Gaochi is looking at some information about Annan.

Now that I have decided to go to Annan, I naturally need to get acquainted with it.

In fact, when he came out of the palace, Zhu Gaochi knew that he must be going to Annan, so on the way back to the palace, he borrowed some information about Annan from the Ministry of War.

Currently studying.

bang bang.

There was a slight knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open.

Zhu Gaochi looked in surprise, it was his elder sister Zhu Yuying.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Zhu Gaochi was born in Hongwu's 11th year, and Zhu Yuying was Zhu Di's first child, the eldest daughter, who was born in Hongwu's [-]th year.

As the eldest daughter, Zhu Yuying's personality is not quite the same as that of Zhu Di and Xu Yihua.

Knowing the book and reaching the ceremony is a typical lady of every family, and it must be Xu Yihua who takes care of her well.

"Why, can't my sister come and see you?"

"Of course, sister, sit down quickly, and I'll make you tea."

The relationship between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Yuying is very good. After Zhu Gaochi was reprimanded by his father Zhu Di when he was a child, Zhu Yuying comforted Zhu Gaochi a lot.

Zhu Yuying sat down, and when Zhu Gaochi brought the tea, she asked, "I heard that you entered the palace today, but you saw Miao Jin. I heard that Miao Jin is already with the grandson."

Zhu Gaochi understood immediately.

When the eldest sister mentioned Xu Miaojin's matter, she was also worried about her marriage.
