Jinyi Night Walk

, "Chen Yang Xu......

"sit!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xia Xun choked back after speaking halfway, leaned over and sat down on the chair brought by Mu En, then cupped his hands to Zhu Di and said, "I don't know if the emperor summoned me, but do you have anything to tell me?"

"Um……"

Zhu Di's face became serious, and he said straight to the point: "Recently, there has been a lot of rumors about the establishment of a reserve in Beijing. I want to know, what do you think of this matter?"

Xia Xun was slightly startled, and then said: "I have also heard some discussions, and I feel that this really corresponds to the old saying that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry. It stands to reason that when the emperor was still King Yan, His Royal Highness was the heir. Now that he is the Son of Heaven, His Highness should be the Crown Prince, since the Emperor does not set up a heir, he must have thought about it, and the courtiers just waited for the Holy Judgment and then left, why are you chewing your tongue."

"Sly, Yang Xu, you are very slippery!"

Zhu Di pointed at Xia Xun with his finger and said, "There is no one else in this palace. Since I ask you, you should answer honestly. Tell me, among my three sons, who should be the crown prince!"

Xia Xun's expression also became serious: "Your Majesty, do you really have a heart for storage?"

Zhu Di said indifferently: "I haven't set up a reserve yet, how can I talk about changing the reserve?"

Xia Xun was silent.

Zhu Di also glanced at him, and asked, "Why? You also think that Gao Chi is the crown prince, so he should be the crown prince now?"

Xia Xun took a deep breath and said: "I understand the emperor's intentions. The emperor is wise and powerful, and he is arbitrary. If he had already made up his mind, he would never ask about being a minister. The emperor is very concerned about this." Is it difficult?"

Zhu Di was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "Yes, I won't hide it from you, I have really lost my mind about this matter. Frankly speaking, Gao Chi is a good kid, with a broad mind, a kind heart, and the air of a king. Jing During the past four years, he has ruled Beiping alone, and he is especially good at governing political affairs. I can't be satisfied with him... and I can't find anything wrong with him."

At this time, the talented and generous Emperor Yongle was nothing more than a kind father. Speaking of his son, he was full of pride and pride.He looked at Xia Xun and said again: "Yang Xu, do you know that the reason why I can't make up my mind is not because my son has mediocre qualifications and it is difficult to pick out a prince who can inherit the great line. On the contrary, it is because my sons are all They are so outstanding, the three princes have their own strengths and none of them are mediocre, so it is difficult for me to choose!"

Xia Xun didn't follow suit and asked why since the princes are all excellent, then he should be appointed according to the order of elder and younger. Zhu Di is a shrewd man, since he made his words so clear and you pretend to be stupid, you are asking for trouble.So Xia Xun also asked bluntly: "Then, is it because His Majesty is in such a difficult situation because His Majesty's health is not good?"

Zhu Di said: "This is just one of the reasons. Gao Chi has been obese since he was a child. No matter how he exercises and diets, it doesn't work. I asked the doctor to treat him. This is a disease, and there is no good medicine to cure it. However, if You think that I am worried that Gao Chi will walk ahead of me, then you are wrong, you are very wrong! I am in the prime of life, and if I live another 30 or [-] years, it will not be a problem? By then, my emperor will have grown up , make Gao Chi the crown prince, what is there to worry about?"

Zhu Di smiled wryly and said, "A long illness...can prolong his life. I'm not worried about his short life, but his longevity!"

"Ok?"

Xia Xun couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, Zhu Di said: "Gao Chi is my son, of course I hope that my son will live a long life, but... an emperor who is weak and often sick can only linger on the sick bed, how to manage him?" Is this thousands of miles of land? Yes, Gao Chi is very capable. He has guarded Beiping for more than four years and has done a lot of things, but the three places in Beiping are only the size of a palm, and he also took advantage of his youth. What will happen in the future? I can’t Don't think about it!"

Zhu Di thumped his tui and said: "Gao Chi is not in good health. If he gets older in another 20 years, his energy will be even worse. In such a huge country, there are thousands of memorials every day. Even I I often feel that I can't stand it, can Gao Chi take care of it? Instead of this, it's better to be an idle prince, so that I can raise my life."

"In addition to this problem, there is also Gao Xu. In terms of martial arts, you also know. Gao Xu is very similar to me. In terms of martial arts, Gao Xu has never had a chance to get in touch with him. In fact, even though Gao Xu has been in the army for four years, he has not forgotten to study. His calligraphy is bold and majestic, unique, and his poems and articles are also well written, especially when he saved me from difficult situations several times. I have told him implicitly that once things are done, I want to make him the crown prince. Now Don't break your word!"

Xia Xun's eyes flickered slightly, and asked: "Since your majesty thinks the second highness is the best candidate, what is your majesty hesitating about?"

Zhu Di said slowly: "Gao Chi has never made any mistakes, how can I abolish his qualifications to be the crown prince? The most important thing is, if I break the rule of setting up a heir and an elder, I am afraid that as long as the Ming Dynasty exists, the royal family will never have peace." It's time! I want to establish Gao Xu because I think about the present, and I don't give up Gao Zhi because I think about future generations, alas! Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs; past, present, and future..., I am in a dilemma!"

Xia Xun sighed for a long time, and said emotionally, "Your majesty is confidant to my ministers, why don't I share your majesty's worries. It's just that... I dare not lie to your majesty. This is where I am in trouble."

"Oh?"

Xia Xun said: "Your Majesty, you know that the relationship between the minister and the three princes is good, no matter which prince can inherit the great line, he will not treat the minister badly, and the minister has absolutely no scruples about the emperor's establishment of the heir.

In fact, what I worry about is exactly the same as His Majesty, but the reason is not the same as His Majesty. I was originally worried that the eldest son of the emperor is not in good health. If something goes wrong...

But as for the second prince, he was worried that breaking the rules would cause His Majesty's grandchildren to quarrel endlessly over the throne.I really don't know how to choose, anyway, I am a subject of His Majesty, just leave as long as I am loyal to His Majesty, I am favored by the Emperor, and I have to be named a hereditary Duke. If any prince is appointed as the crown prince, the ministers and ministers will be different, cut off, and will follow the emperor's will, do their best to be loyal and leave! "

Zhu Di was a little moved when he heard it, but after being slightly moved, he thought carefully that although what this kid said was nice, he didn't say a word of usefulness, so he couldn't help but give him a sideways glance, and said displeasedly: "I called you here to hear your loyalty. of?"

Xia Xun said hesitantly: "In my opinion, Your Majesty might as well... Let it go first..."

"Let it go?" Zhu Di waved his big hand: "The military capital of North Korea and China has already started to form cliques."

He picked up the memorial in hand, slapped it on the imperial book case and said: "Here, look, General Ping Qiang Song Shengyuan came from Xiliang to see me, "Hmph, he came all the way, travel-stained, He knew that he had prepared a gift in advance, so he fawned and went to give Gao Xu a gift.As for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, someone immediately issued a memorial to impeach him for being arrogant and self-defeating in Xiliang. What are the specific charges?Suspicion!There is no evidence! "

Xia Xun said calmly: "So what, can you get out of His Majesty's control? Since Your Majesty is determined not to let it go, why don't you let it go and see what the ministers will do, what the princes will do, and sometimes look at the mountains from afar." After the water is restored, when the car reaches the front of the mountain, it suddenly becomes clear?

"Ok?"

Zhu Di dropped the memorial, stood up, rolled his sleeves behind his back, and walked lightly in the hall. Seeing this, Xia Xun hurriedly stood up and then stood up. Zhu Di pondered for a long time, then heaved a sigh of relief, The leader said: "Yeah, let it go for a while, that's fine..."

Xia Xun secretly heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, "He drank three cups of tea last night, and finally thought through the stakes and stakes of this matter, and he can't get involved in this matter, at least not right now.

Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs, to the emperor, messing around is the same thing. It doesn't matter if the emperor confides in him. In the future, he will be murdered. If he kisses the emperor again, can he kiss the emperor's own son?He turned his face today, but tomorrow he will be the father and mother, he can't afford it.

Zhu Di seemed to be thinking about it, and he was no longer so troubled. He glanced at Xia Xun and said, "Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being and wait and see. I have another troublesome thing here, but it is about you Yes, you come to help me share my worries!"

Xia Xun wondered: "About the minister? What's the matter with the minister, making Your Majesty worry about the minister?"

Zhu Di snorted angrily, stared at him, and asked abruptly, "Do you and Miao Jin have love?"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Zhu Gaochi is in Kunning Palace with his concubine Zhang and son Zhu Zhanji.

The Zhang family is filial and docile, dedicated to his parents-in-law, so he has always been very fond of Zhu Di's husband and wife. Their son is already four years old this year, and when Zhu Dijing was having trouble raising an army, this eldest son was just born.In the four years of Jingnan, Zhu Di was safe and sound, but made it through all the bumps and bumps all the way. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel unbelievable.When he was joking, he said that this was the good fortune brought to him by his eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji. In addition, Zhu Zhanji was really smart, and he loved him more than the apple of his eye.

Every day, Zhu Gaochi and his wife took their son into the palace to greet their parents, but his father went to morning early and came back late, most of the time he just chatted with his mother.A few days ago, because the winter had just entered, the little guy was a little uncomfortable, and his body was a little uncomfortable, so I didn't bring him here. The mother thought it was strange, and today my son was in good health, so I brought him here. Concubine Xu was very happy to see it , Holding my grandson for a while was rare.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji took off his boots and was running around on the dragon and phoenix bed with his bare feet, making a mess. Mrs. Zhang just scolded a few words when she saw her, but was stopped by Empress Xu who loved her grandson and pulled her Sitting by the couch, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking about the daily routine.Zhu Gaochi sat on the chair, drinking tea with a smile.

Empress Xu saw her son sitting there obediently, and suddenly remembered the rumors about Yi Chu who was in the capital recently.The eldest son is kind and honest, and his health is not good, so the mother loves her a little bit more. She knows that her husband prefers the second son more, and the second son will come to see his father when there is nothing to do. He speaks loudly , On the contrary, my husband likes it more.

However, this eldest son, honest and honest, saw that the crown prince was about to be robbed by his younger brother, and he was ignorant as if nothing happened. Although he abides by filial piety and goes to the palace every day to greet him, but when he sees his father, he is dull Less words, in addition to accepting his father's inquiries, he also accepts his father's instructions. The father and son act like a teacher teaching students. It's no wonder that my husband doesn't like this kind of overly mature character.

"However..., my husband likes this little Biezi very much, let's kiss each other in the next generation!"

Empress Xu wanted to make her husband and eldest son get closer, so she said to Zhu Gaochi, "Gao Chi, mother and daughter-in-law have a conversation, you take Zhanji to see your father."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Father is worrying about state affairs, so my son should not bother me."

Empress Xu was very angry and funny, this son is also shrewd in dealing with political affairs, but at this time he was very dull, and said: "Your father also really wants to Zhan Ji, take him there, he should be in the Jinshen Palace now, and there are no foreign ministers around , let the grandson talk with him, it's time to rest your mind."

As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard her mother's order, she stood up and greeted her son: "Zhanji, come here, don't run away, put on your boots quickly, and go with your father to meet the emperor. The emperor has delicious snacks for you." .”

Empress Xu glanced at her daughter-in-law, and said in her heart: "My daughter-in-law is a sensible person, this child Gao Chi..." Hey! "

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Sitting in the palace, Xia Xun was sweating. He knelt on the ground and swore to confess that he and the little princess had absolutely no secret feelings for each other.

The relationship between a man and a woman is originally a matter of two aspects, but since men dominate the world, men have become possession for women, and women have become taken advantage of for men under certain circumstances.The problem is that some women can't take advantage of it.

And no matter in terms of age or status, Xia Xun seems to be unable to get rid of the suspicion of taking advantage of the little girl. If the little girl's brother-in-law is the emperor...

Xia Xun's explanation was incoherent, and Zhu Di was impatient to hear it, so he interrupted him directly and said, "It's done, don't talk anymore, I know you didn't talk sweet words, and you didn't take advantage of her, so I'll ask you, if Miao Jin intends to make a promise for life, you...are you willing?"

Xia Xun whispered, "I...I have two wives in my family. I'm afraid...I'm afraid I'm not worthy of the princess."

Zhu Di laughed angrily, and said, "Let's talk about whether you are worthy or not. I only ask you, whether you are willing or not!"

"minister……"

"Ok?"

"I...please ask the Holy Judge!"

"Do you like it, do you want me to cut it? I know you like it or not? Oh..."

Zhu Di suddenly understood, laughed twice and said: "I understand. Well, Miao Jin is gentle, virtuous, knowledgeable, beautiful, and a lady, so it's no wonder you are tempted. Since you like Miao Jin, Miao Jin Jin also likes you, so that's it, if there is no cloud in the sky, it will not rain, and there will be no matchmaker on the ground, so I will be your great matchmaker, okay?"

Xia Xun was dizzy when he heard that, if Zhu Di didn't call himself I, he would almost think that Zhu Di had been a matchmaker.

In fact, the little princess is beautiful and cute, with a gentle and cheerful disposition, why doesn't Xia Xun like it?But he knew that he already had a wife and family, and with Ming'er's family status, it was absolutely impossible for him to be wronged by this, and he had a wife and son, and he shouldered responsibilities, so he couldn't be so rash and ignore it, so he suppressed it with reason. Feelings, dare not indulge its overflow.

At this moment, hearing that the emperor was willing to protect the matchmaker for him, Xia Xun's defenses were finally unlocked. He was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed: "Mr.... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your fulfillment!"

This kowtow, he was sincere, and he was not perfunctory at all, but... Emperor Yongle became coy instead, hesitating and saying: "Cough, I... It doesn't matter if you are a matchmaker, and it doesn't matter if I give you a marriage, just... ..., I... I still have an unfeeling request, as long as you agree, this Ruhua beauty will be yours!"

Xia Xun froze, raised his head and said, "What does Your Majesty want the minister to promise?" @.
