Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 131
In the ninth year of Yongle, on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Yingtian Mansion.

Zhu Zhanhe stood in front of the Han Palace, looking at his former home with emotion.

It took him more than two months to get to Yingtian Mansion, but the journey was safe and there were not as many troubles as when he went to the feudal lord. Even the local officials along the way respected him.

After all, after such a long time, Chen Zhisheng's incident has already spread throughout the official class. In addition, Zhu Zhanhe has done such a trick in Jiaozhi, who dares to provoke him?
As an official, who dares to say that there is no mud on his body?
From a distance, someone was watching, but they dared not come over.

Since the king of Han left, the palace of the king of Han has almost become a forbidden place, and no one dares to come here at will.

First, because of Zhu Zhanhe's name, although it is not pleasant to hear, it has to be said that it is indeed effective. Nowadays, many people are not willing to pass by the Han Palace even if they want to pass by.

Second, and most importantly, people cannot fathom what His Majesty is thinking today.

Logically speaking, after the vassal king becomes the vassal, the former royal palace will either be used for other purposes, such as replacing it with a plaque for other princes and nobles to live in, or it will be demolished and built somewhere else.

As for the Han Palace, it has never been used for other purposes, and no new people have lived in it. Zhu Di seemed to have forgotten it and never mentioned it.

However, for some this is an unsolved mystery, but for others it is already the answer.

"Why are you standing here?"

After an unknown amount of time, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Zhu Zhanhe, making him wake up from his emotion.

"My grandson has met Grandpa Huang." Zhu Zhanhe saluted politely when he saw the person coming.

"Why are you standing here?" Zhu Di didn't seem to see Zhu Zhanhe's salute or hear Zhu Zhanhe's voice, and just repeated what he said just now.

"You came to the capital on behalf of your father. When the vassal king comes to the capital, he either goes to the palace to pay a visit, or he goes to the clan mansion to register and then stay in bed. Why are you here."

Zhu Zhanhe straightened up, walked behind the old man, and then turned around to look at the Han Palace that he had been looking at for a long time.

"Originally, I wanted to go in and have a look, but unfortunately, I couldn't get in."

Zhu Di paused for a moment, and after a long time, he reached out and waved.

A Jin Yiwei came out and quickly opened the door.

Zhu Di took the lead and walked into the once luxurious Han Palace. Zhu Zhanhe hesitated for a moment, but followed the old man in.

The once luxurious Hanwang Mansion is now in ruins. Although it has been less than a year, it has gone through four seasons. Today, the ground of Hanwang Mansion is covered with dead leaves, and the plants in the courtyard that have not been cared for have grown wildly. It is completely gone. In a well-behaved manner.

The grandfather and grandson stood in the courtyard, looking at the ruined Han Palace, each with different feelings in their hearts.

Zhu Zhanhe did not wait for the old man this time, walked into the main hall, walked through the back garden, and came to the place where he once lived.

Here, it's not much better than the front yard.

"Let's live in the clan mansion first." After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Di suddenly said.

"Wait... I'll get someone to clean up the place later, two days will be enough."

"No need." Zhu Zhanhe lowered his head, with a smile on his face that he didn't know how to interpret.

"It's just me. It's weird to live there."

……

"Zhan He..."

Someone called him, but it was not Zhu Di. Zhu Zhanhe turned his head and saw his uncle and cousin.

"Zhanhe has met his uncle and his cousin." Zhu Zhanhe saluted politely.

"Yes, cousin."

After saluting, Zhu Zhanhe stood up and waved in the direction of the door.

Soon, Zhu Ling came over holding a small box.

"Cousin, this is what I promised you."

Zhu Zhanji froze for a moment, then lifted the curtain on the box, and then froze.

Three little puppies lay quietly inside.

"It was also a coincidence that after receiving the edict from grandpa, the family dogs happened to give birth, and my brother picked the three strongest ones."

"But it's a long way to Beijing, and I can only feed it with goat's milk. The condition is not very good. It's best for my cousin to find a dog with milk. This is the best."

"Do you still remember..." Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Zhanhe blankly.

"Of course." Zhu Zhanhe smiled slightly.

"Zhan He didn't promise anything to his cousin, this is the only one, and naturally it must be done well."

After saying that, Zhu Zhanhe bowed slightly and prepared to leave.

This place was deserted and there were too many places to hide people. He didn't want any accidents to happen because of him.

As long as he leaves, the rest of the people will also leave.

"Stay!"

Suddenly, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but speak and called out to Zhu Zhanhe who was about to leave.

"Stay here. I'll come find you tomorrow. Let's take a look around Yingtian again. You can also see the changes in Yingtian after you left."

"No, it's quite unlucky." Zhu Zhanhe did not turn around, but smiled.

"Now, don't you even want to live here?" Zhu Di's voice sounded, causing Zhu Gaochi, who was about to speak, to swallow the words that reached his throat.

"Would you rather live in the clan mansion like other vassal princes?"

"No." Even if Zhu Di asked, Zhu Zhanhe didn't turn around, but just explained quietly, as if what he said had nothing to do with him.

"As early as last year, I killed the former me with my own hands and buried him under the courtyard of the King of Han's mansion."

"He looked unwilling, but he was unable to resist."

"Because he is alone and alone, and I...have my father and grandpa to help me."

"The Zhu Zhanhe of today is no longer the Zhu Zhanhe of the past. The Zhu Zhanhe of the past was already buried here. When my mother sent me away, I went to help the Ministry of Household Affairs implement the cattle raising agency."

"Now, there is only Zhu Zhanhe, the crown prince of Han Dynasty."

After speaking, Zhu Zhanhe turned around and bowed.

"Grandpa, uncle, cousin."

"Zhan He has to go to the clan's mansion, so I'll take my leave first."

……

The cold wind in the twelfth lunar month drifted by, and a few leaves could no longer hold on to the branches that had held them tightly, and drifted weakly with the wind, slowly falling into the yard that no one had visited for nearly a year.

It seemed that the whole body was affected by a pull. The wind stopped, but the snow slowly drifted down. It was just that they were so thin that they turned into little water stains as soon as they hit the ground.

After more than a while, Zhu Di turned around slowly, without saying a word, and walked towards the gate as if lost in thought.

Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but looked at the box in his arms and swallowed his words.

Zhu Gaochi sighed softly, patted his son on the shoulder, took heavy steps, and followed the old man's footsteps.

Zhu Zhanji looked up at the snowflakes falling in the sky, as if he wanted to investigate the root cause, and wanted to know what caused today's scene.

But all of this can only be thought of by himself. Whether it is people or things, he may not be able to understand the answers given to him.

Only, personal experience.
