Chapter 221 Only Parent-child Love

Zhu Di was half lying on the couch, holding a playbook in his hand, frowning as he looked at it.

"The winter clothes of the three major camps have not been changed this year." Zhu Di put down the notebook, raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Yu who refused to leave, tapped the notebook with his finger, and muttered with a smile on his face: "The Dragon King has a temper. After being washed away by the water, your father allocated armaments and resettled the people, forget it, just don’t change it if you don’t want to change it, let the common people get some benefits, it’s good.”

"Grandpa said yes."

"By the way, I just remembered one thing." Zhu Di suddenly patted his forehead: "Yesterday, the princess sent a message to ask, saying that she wants to choose a concubine for you, and a girl? This is a good thing. Get married early, and I can do it too." Hug your great-grandson early, it has to be done, it has to be done, little snot, tell me to go down, let the people from the Ministry of Rites go to the Prince's Mansion, and make this matter come true. If you have a girl you like, you might as well bring it over and let Grandpa see it. Concubine doesn't have so many rules. I heard that you locked Sun Yu's daughter in the prince's mansion? Another court lady? Is it Hu Shangyi's adopted daughter? Why, did you like it?"

"Yes, it makes a little sense."

"Young Muai, forget it, Sun Yu is not a remnant of Jing Nan. He was also a member of our Northern Army back then, but now because of friendship, he hangs out with Jing Nan's orphans all day long. What is it? If he can If we catch Jianwen, we will pardon him, as for his daughter, there are some problems with her identity, you should know it yourself."

"Hu Shangyi's girl grew up in the palace and knows everything, so I won't say anything. If you want to, let her participate in the draft."

"Hey, grandson wrote it down." Li Yu agreed.

Zhu Di turned over, turned his face to the inside, picked up another memorial and looked at it for a while, Li Yu stood beside him and waited quietly. After a while, Zhu Di suddenly raised his head: "Hey, do you have anything else to do?"

"That...Grandpa, grandson has something to do, I'm afraid of making grandpa angry." Li Yu hesitated on purpose.

Zhu Di scolded with a smile: "Speak up if you have something to say, don't learn from your father, who speaks hesitantly and around corners."

This is what you told me to say!

Li Yu quickly took out the playbook of his father's resignation from the crown prince from his arms, and handed it forward with both hands: "Grandpa, this is my father's playbook."

After Zhu Di took it, Li Yu stood aside obediently, not talking, and waited quietly.

really--

"Damn things!"

Zhu Di opened the playbook suspiciously, and after reading a few sentences, his heart burst into anger. After reading it with restraint, he suddenly kneaded the playbook into a ball with both hands, and threw it on the ground with a snap.

"What is he as the crown prince? He still needs to resign!"

"Who do I want to be the crown prince, and do I still need him to make way?"

"Back to Suncheon? Okay! I'll let him go back to Suncheon! Let him go back to Suncheon!"

While cursing, Zhu Di stood up, groped in the hall, and suddenly shouted: "Come on! Go find me a cane!"

Little Snot took the lead, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace fell to their knees.

Li Yu sighed secretly in his heart, both sad and helpless, this father is too worrying!Isn't this a cheating son!

I shouldn't have agreed to hand over this memorandum for him, damn it, this father even plots against his own son!

But having said that, being a prince in the Yongle Dynasty is really hard work. You can neither be too weak nor too strong.
Where is this prince?He is clearly a grandson!

"Didn't you hear what I said? Get the cane!" Zhu Di was furious: "Go and call the prince! And the King of Han! Call them together!"

"Grandpa calm down, calm down."

The careless father angered the old man, and I, as a son, have to persuade him, I can't just watch my father get whipped, can I?If you only smoke Hanwang, you really don't care about yourself.

Li Yu was thinking about how to persuade the old man, his eyes inadvertently swept around the hall, but he found a clue.

On the screen in front of the desk on the left side, there is a picture of tigers hanging. There are three tigers, one big, two small, and three tigers.

Dad can do things quickly. I think it was painted by Bachelor Xie Jin. Before I went to the prison yesterday, I bumped into the scholar Jie Jin and entered the Prince's Mansion. I sent the painting to Qianqing Palace early this morning.

I think the old man hasn't appreciated this painting yet, has he?

Isn't this what you want?
Li Yu bypassed the old man, took a brush from the table, dipped it in thick ink, walked to the screen, and deliberately brewed it.

"Boy, what are you doing?" Zhu Di, who was angry, was confused by the strange behavior of the elder grandson.

Li Yu didn't answer, picked up the pen, and in the blank space above the picture of the tiger, the pen walked like a dragon and snake, and scribbled a poem.

"Grandpa, please see."

After writing, Li Yu put down his brush and stood respectfully beside the screen.

"It was sent by Xie Jin, but I haven't had time to read it," Zhu Di was angry, but he didn't want to get angry at his beloved grandson. He held back his anger, and glanced at the artist roughly: "Xie Shi's paintings are not bad. , but it’s just in vain, hey, you can write poems? Let me see..."

"The tiger is the king of beasts, who dares to offend it. Only parent-child relationship, review step by step." Zhu Di muttered, and suddenly the whole person froze like a demon.

"Only parent-child relationship, look back step by step... step by step..."

With tears in his eyes, Zhu Di stumbled forward a few steps subconsciously, raised his hand to caress the drawing paper, and recalled all the deeds of the prince back then in his mind.

Back then, when I sent troops to Daning, I went to "borrow" King Ning's soldiers, leaving behind my son and more than ten thousand old and weak soldiers to guard Beiping.

Li Jinglong's army of 50 soldiers besieged Beiping for several months. His son shot arrows and went up the city wall.

Later, he attacked Yingtian by surprise, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and it was the prince who worked hard to manage the country's affairs in an orderly manner. Only then did he have two Northern Expeditions and defeated Alutai.

well!It's not easy for a prince!

Zhu Di let out a long and lonely sigh, the overwhelming anger in his heart had already dissipated and was replaced by pity for the eldest son and anger at the ignorant second son.

"That's it, that's it!"

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Put away the painting, I am old and can't see this painting."

"Send this painting to the prince. The prince is in poor health and has a runny nose. Go pick some good ginseng from North Korea and send it to the prince's mansion."

"Go down, Zhanji, you go back too, I'm tired."

After leaving Qianqing Palace and returning to Chunhe Palace, as soon as he crossed the front hall and entered the gate of the back hall, Li Yu saw two imperial doctors walking out of the hall with medicine boxes.

Li Yu hurriedly grabbed the imperial doctor and asked, only to learn that the prince was frightened yesterday, which caused lung cold.

Li Yu hurried in to take a look, but saw that the fat man was lying on the bed gnawing melons, and the old lady was beside him with a dark face, counting down, he didn't look a little sick!

Understood!Li Yu suddenly realized, it's really a fucking ring!First, he used the playbook to arouse the anger of the old man, and then plotted against his own son, and used his own son to transfer the anger of the old man to Zhu Erhan.

If I didn't guess wrong, this is pretending to be sick, so as to prevent myself from not persuading the old man and getting angry?

"Back? What did your grandfather say?"

As soon as Li Yu came in, Zhu Gaochi, who was being scolded, came to the savior, and quickly took the opportunity to change the subject.

"Father, what is this?"

"He! Pretending to be sick! It's a good thing he figured it out!" There were no maids and eunuchs in the palace, and they had been dismissed long ago, so Zhang Yan gave her husband an angry look.

"What do you know! I'm not pretending to be sick, just waiting to be whipped by the old man?" Zhu Gaochi complained, and then asked impatiently, "Son, tell me quickly, how is your grandfather doing?"

"Grandpa was furious and asked Little Snot to get the cane. Father, please ask for blessings."

Li Yu deliberately only said half of it.

"Quick, quick, call the imperial physician back, take a towel to cover my head, and go to decoct the medicine!"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi reacted very quickly, threw the melon in his hand, plopped it on the bed, and gave orders quickly, as if he was an old hand at pretending to be sick.

"Father, don't worry about it. Grandpa wanted to beat you, but I persuaded you to go back later."

A little revenge is enough, but you can't really scare the old man. If his body is frightened, it will be troublesome. Li Yu quickly explained.

"...Grandpa praised you for being considerate of the common people, and ordered people to reward you with ginseng, as soon as you speak."

"Little bastard! You..."

"Your Majesty's word!"

As expected, Zhu Gaochi had just cursed, and Snotty led several eunuchs and a young general in armor into the apse.

After rewarding the painting, a small box of ginseng with a thick thumb was directly brought over, and there were other supplements such as Tian Qi and deer antler.

The prince knelt down to thank him, and he was greatly relieved.

The little snot lured the young general out again.

"His Royal Highness, this is General Fan Zhong. His Majesty asked him to come over and assist you in selecting and training young troops."

Li Yu is overjoyed, he is worried about this matter, the young army is easy to train, but it is hard to find the general who commands the army, and now some famous generals are under the command of the emperor or the king of Han, and he plans to find Yu Qian, who is the same age as him, from Qiantang It's here, I didn't expect the old man to send someone directly.

It can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.

Fan Zhong didn't pass this year, and he belonged to the young talents that the old man focused on training. This morning, he was in the sand table deduction in the Hall of Martial Heroes.

After exchanging a few pleasantries in the hall, Li Yu also resigned from his parents after Little Snot left, and took Fan Zhong to his small courtyard.

"...Birth experience should be clean, aged between 20 and [-] years old, and those whose father died for the country are given priority. After selection, report to me." Li Yu wrote down a few requirements for the selection of young soldiers, and handed them over to Fan Zhong pushed back the court ladies and eunuchs again, bent down and dragged out a small box from under the bed, opened it, and inside was golden cakes.

The box was brought in the house, and the gold cake was just put in from the portable space without anyone noticing when dragging the box.

There are a total of 700 kilograms of gold pancakes. Converted to the current calculation, it is about 1000 taels. If it is converted into silver, it is more than [-] taels. One tael of silver can be exchanged for copper coins. A thousand pieces of Yongle Tongbao. You can buy rice for a stone and a half, enough to feed a family of five for two months.

The Taizu once stipulated that one tael of gold could only be exchanged for four taels of silver, but in ancient times, the economy was not something that could be changed by a mere rule.Daming was short of silver, and now in the market, one tael of gold can be exchanged for at least eight taels of silver.

As for the Daming Treasure Banknote, it is even more outrageous!
This thing is only printed and not accepted by the treasure banknote department. Now on the market, only [-] pieces of treasure banknotes can be exchanged for a copper coin!
"Take it! Place the selected soldiers in the Huangzhuang of the Prince's Mansion over Zhongshan, and don't treat them badly. This money will be my reward for the brothers."

"His Highness Xie Taisun, the last general of the Young Army." Fan Zhong was also unambiguous, closed the box, picked it up and carried it on his shoulders.

"Good strength!" Li Yu boasted. He was planning to ask the two little eunuchs to help carry it out, but he didn't expect Fan Zhong to be so clever!

"The last general is born with supernatural power."

"After carrying it, go out of the Prince's Mansion through the side door, and don't let the Crown Princess see it." Li Yu specially warned.

The Prince's Mansion is short of money!Zhang Yan can't wait to break a copper coin into two halves and spend it. If she knows that her son has rewarded more than 2 pennies, she will probably be nagging in her ears all day!
I personally sent Fan Zhong out of the Prince's Mansion, and just as Li Yu returned to the small courtyard, Hu Shangyi led Hu Shanxiang over.

"His Royal Highness." After the two met, Hu Shangyi left and Hu Shanxiang stayed.

Li Yu just wanted to invite the two court ladies and two eunuchs who served him in the small courtyard to meet Hu Shanxiang, but he saw Hu Shanxiang kept leaning sideways with his head down, not daring to face him.

"what happened?"

Li Yu stepped forward, held Hu Shanxiang's chin with his hand, and raised her head "arrogantly", but saw that her right face was slightly red and swollen, and there was a very clear palm print.

"Who hit it?"

Hu Shanxiang remained silent.

"Is it Hu Shangyi?"

Hu Shanxiang's lips twitched: "No..."

"I don't even think about it. She is a woman, how can she be hit so hard."

More importantly, Hu Shanxiang was immediately transferred to the grandson's side, how could Hu Shangyi leave a slap mark on her face, and deliberately make things difficult for the grandson?
Li Yu frowned: "Tell the truth!"

Hu Shanxiang's eyes were slightly red: "Yes... they are the two godsons of the eunuch Jin Rong."

Understood!It should be because of being fooled by Xinmei to find "the right food", but he came to see himself with a slap print, Hu Shangyi wanted to kill someone with a knife!

As for Jin Rong, Li Yu knew that the eunuchs and veterans who served the old man during the Jingnan battle had also been on the battlefield and suffered some injuries.The old man took pity on him and didn't let him do anything, so he set up a small courtyard to raise him. It was rumored in the palace that he was half-master.

When I thought about it, this "half master" offended Hu Shangyi for some reason, and Hu Shangyi was not easy to do it, so he came up with this method of borrowing a knife to kill someone.

However, if he dared to touch the people around him, especially after Li Yu had the idea of ​​making Hu Shanxiang the grandson concubine, those two little eunuchs who beat people didn't have to live anymore!
It's not that Li Yu is cruel, but this is the rule in the palace!
Otherwise, when Hu Shanxiang becomes the empress in the future, there will be rumors in the palace that the empress was slapped by two eunuchs back then, do you want to lose face of the empress?
Li Yu called the palace man in the small courtyard, said that he knew Hu Shanxiang, and appointed Hu Shanxiang as the steward.

The two young eunuchs are called Ma San and Ma Si, and they are only sixteen or seventeen years old. The two court ladies are called Chunhua and Qiushi, who are a little older, in their early twenties, and look a little shabby. It was carefully selected by the princess, extremely honest and reliable.

"Ma San, go to the palace and tell Little Snotty about Hu Shanxiang's beating, and say that I am very angry and dissatisfied!"

It was just two handy eunuchs, and the grandson was dissatisfied. The fate of these two people can be imagined.

Hu Shanxiang grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he also understands the truth in it. Hearing that the grandson stood up for him, he couldn't help laughing through his tears.

"That's right!" Li Yu suddenly approached Hu Shanxiang's face, and his little aunt's face was still very good.

"I don't like the people around me who put on dead faces, smile a lot, and look good when they smile."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Li Yu was so close, Hu Shanxiang's heart beat faster, and his cheeks suddenly turned red.
