Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 66 As long as they don't dislike it, we'll be in jail!
In fact, Lao Zhu didn't want to answer this question. He stopped Zhu Yan when he tried it last time.

But now seeing Zhu Li lying on the hospital bed, still suffering from the illness due to gratitude for the prince, Lao Zhu's heart was shaken.

Even so, Lao Zhu still did not answer directly, but asked a rhetorical question.

"Third, who do you think is better?"

Zhu Yan heard the words and said without hesitation.

"Do you even need to ask? My elder brother is only a legitimate son, of course it is Li Zhu Yunxi!"

Old Zhu's face was darkened by the anger, and he pointed at Zhu Yan and reprimanded him.

"Rebel!"

"Are you speaking human language?"

"If it weren't for your serious illness, we would have to slap both of you!"

"Isn't Zhu Yunwen your elder brother's son?"

"Furthermore, Lu's family has been restored long ago, and Zhu Yunqi is also the eldest son now, even older!"

When Zhu Fan heard the word "Lu Shi", he couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"I don't care about that, I just recognize Mrs. Chang's, and I don't recognize anyone except her!"

When Lao Zhu saw what Zhu Yan said, he immediately played the emotional card.

"Ugh!"

"Do you have prejudice against Mrs. Lu?"

"Actually, Mrs. Lu has done a good job. She has helped your eldest brother manage the East Palace for so many years. It is well-known inside and outside the palace..."

Hearing his father's reprimand, Zhu Bian leaned on the head of the bed, looking like a rascal.

"I have eaten the soup stewed by the sister-in-law of the Chang family, eaten the cakes baked by the sister-in-law of the Chang family, and even worn the shoes made by the sister-in-law of the Chang family!"

"Everyone says that Mrs. Lu is virtuous, but in my opinion, apart from reading a few more books than my sister-in-law, how can she compare to my sister-in-law?"

"Besides, it's better not to read her book, and pretending to be virtuous all day long. Are you tired?"

"Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about his attitude towards our family's Yunxi. It looks polite, but in fact it is divided into relatives and estrangements."

"She made a tiger-head hat for her own child, have you seen her make it for Zhu Yunxi?"

"My son came back last winter and saw a group of children playing in the heavy snow. All the children were wearing tiger hats, including the two born to Lu, but Zhu Yunxi was bareheaded in the cold wind..."

"In the end, my son couldn't stand it, so he took off the hat of my second son Zhu Jiye and put it on for my eldest nephew. Do you know all these things?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he felt his brain explode.

He never thought that under his nose, Zhu Yunxi would have suffered such a great grievance!

He didn't even need to prove the matter of the tiger head hat, because with Lu's prudence, he would never cause such trouble for himself.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu suddenly understood why Zhu Yunxi had forgotten everything, but still targeted Lu from time to time.

The past can be forgotten, but the hurt left behind will always be buried in the bottom of my heart.

No wonder the child would rather move out to live alone than stay in the Prince's Mansion.It turned out that people kept treating him as an outsider, which chilled the child's heart!
However, the third child was able to observe so carefully, and he was quite surprised to be able to say these words.

Subconsciously, he always felt that this guy was just a careless three-headed idiot, but he didn't expect to have such a delicate mind.

If it wasn't for the reminder from these three fools, he would have always thought that Mrs. Lu was doing a good job.

"You take good care of him. If you can't catch up with your elder brother's funeral, you can go to worship after waiting!"

"Father, don't worry, my son will recover as soon as possible!"

"Even if it doesn't get better when the time comes, Erchen will crawl over even if he crawls!"

"We know!"

Old Zhu got up sadly, asked the imperial physicians to take good care of him, and left Zhu Yan's mansion.

When passing Donghua Bridge, I saw those rebellious sons lying on the bridge with their buttocks naked, and then waved their hands to the side.

"Put it back, don't let them embarrass us here!"

Zhu Zhi and the others got up from the ground, not daring to run away, but put on their trousers and stood by the bridge, planning to wait for their father to leave before returning to the palace.

Seeing their frowning looks, Lao Zhu immediately thought of the other one.

"Where's Zhu Yunxi?"

"Did you ever see him go?"

The children were silent for a while, until Lao Zhu called their names, and Zhu Zhi reluctantly stood up.

"Father!"

"Just now when Zhu Yunxi came back from the third brother's side, he seemed very angry. He said that he would never talk to that old man again, and that in this world, no one can count on him, and he can only rely on himself for everything..."

"My son called him twice, but he acted as if he didn't hear him. He should have gone straight back to the East Palace, right?"

Hearing this, Lao Zhu waved his hand again, and then the dragon moved again, crushing the setting sun, and at the same time crushing Lao Zhu's heart.

This kid has a grudge against us...

But think about it, this child lost his mother when he was born, and now he has no father.

Looking at the huge palace, only a bad old man like himself can be counted on, but he still lied to him, how can he not complain in his heart?
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu immediately called the two tigers over.

"Er Hu, we remember that there is a palace beside Xuanwu Lake, it has been abandoned for some years, right?"

"Go back to the emperor, it was built when you were the king of Wu, and it was used to escape the summer heat. Since you became the throne, you have never been there again, and it has been abandoned over time."

"Then order the Ministry of Industry to renovate it, and tidy it up properly!"

Erhu's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he dared to ask a question.

"Dare to ask the emperor, with what specifications and what is the budget?"

As if he didn't understand Erhu's little thoughts, Lao Zhu thought about it seriously.

"Compared to the specifications of the Prince's Mansion, the budget..."

"Let the household department allocate 10 taels of silver first, and if it is not enough, pay from the palace!"

Hearing this, Erhu secretly exclaimed, this specification, this budget, is already the only one in Daming other than the imperial palace.

Even in the construction of the East Palace back then, it didn't cost 10 taels of silver.

What's more, this is not a reconstruction, this is just a renovation!

The palace at Xuanwu Lake was originally built according to the level of the imperial palace, but at that time the emperor was embarrassed to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor because of the fact that the world was not unified, so it was called the imperial palace.

In fact, whether it is the materials used in the palace or the specifications and grades, only the emperor can enjoy it!
Even though Erhu had always hoped that Zhu Yunxi would take the position, he was still taken aback when he heard this rashly.

One must know that when King Jin built his mansion, only [-] guan were allocated in the palace, which was still a treasure of the Ming Dynasty.

Now awarding the old palace to Zhu Yunxi is already too eye-catching, and spending 10 taels of silver to renovate it, isn't this arousing the child's envy?

At that time, not to mention the grievances of the princes in the palace, even those princes who have been in the feudal clan will probably have objections to the emperor.

However, they didn't dare to spread this resentment on the emperor, they could only spread it on the grandson Zhu Yunxie.

"My lord, will it be too much?"

"I'm afraid the Ministry of Households won't be able to raise so much money for a while, right?"

Lao Zhu also knows a lot, the money is enough to build ten palaces, not to mention renovating a palace.

But at this time, he only wanted to make up for his eldest grandson and make up for the debts of these years.

"Don't worry, take your time to repair it, it will be fine after a year or two."

"But the project must be done carefully for us, and we must not be perfunctory!"

"Hey..."

"I've made a note of the humble job, and I must tell the Ministry of Industry to let them do the work meticulously!"

While the two were talking, a young eunuch ran over from the East Palace, ran to Long Lun and knelt down.

"Report to Your Majesty, the princes are making a fuss in the Prince's mourning hall, and they insist on providing dinner at the Prince's mansion. The princess concubine asked the servants to come to ask His Majesty, can the imperial dining room make an exception and prepare dinner for the princes..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately let out a dragon's roar, which made the carriage resonate.

"A group of rebels!"

"Where do they have the face to eat dinner?"

"Erhu, go and pass a message to them, and ask them for us, do you eat the prison food in the Jinyiwei prison?"

"As long as they don't dislike it, we'll have enough of it!"
