Jinyi Night Walk

"Ah! Zhanji!"

When Zhu Gaochi looked up, seeing that it was his son, he couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Zhanji is still young and his strength is weak, how can he pull Zhu Gaochi.Seeing his hard work, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help smiling shyly, and said, "Zhanji, Daddy was late in welcoming your grandpa, and he was disrespectful. He was punished by your grandpa. Without your grandpa's will, Daddy can't get up." of!"

Zhu Zhanji said: "Daddy, my son just saw that Daddy was being punished, and my son knew that the emperor must allow his father to get up. So he went to ask the emperor's grandfather immediately, and the emperor agreed to his son, and asked Daddy to get up and go back to the city with the guard of honor!"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Really?"

A middle official who accompanied Zhu Zhanji bowed and said, "Prince, get up, what the emperor said is true."

Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed, and just wanted to get up, but his legs were already numb from kneeling, and the two young women on the left and right rushed up to help him, but they couldn't help him.It took a lot of effort, and with the help of the officials of the Eastern Palace, the prince was able to stand up. Before he could move his numb legs, he quickly asked someone to move him into the car and chased after the tail of the team. up.

The emperor returned to Beijing, went to court, and was worshiped by hundreds of officials. During the process, the crown prince, as the crown prince, always followed the emperor. Deprive the prince of his rights, so he has been asked to accompany him.

After the pilgrimage, Zhu Di issued an order to have a large banquet, and the monarch and ministers had fun together.

These possible orders from the emperor were already in Zhu Gaoxu's prediction.The emperor had just returned to Beijing, especially with so many foreign envoys paying homage and paying tribute. This was an unprecedented event since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor most likely wanted to celebrate it.So these preparations have already been done.

It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't give a banquet, but if the emperor gives a banquet, he can't be too hasty.All the preparations in the palace are well organized, and the imperial dining room is naturally fully prepared. Even the seating positions of the royal relatives, honorable officials, civil and military officials, and envoys from various countries have been rehearsed, so there is no panic Luan is cramped.

Zhu Di saw all this in his eyes, and his heavy face softened a little.Xia Xun accompanied him back from Yanziji until he arrived at the court, but he never had a chance to ask about the situation with the prince. It was not until the emperor gave him a banquet that he got the chance and left his seat.

The prince accompanied the emperor, and it was impossible to go to him without being noticed, so Xia Xun did not try to get close to Zhu Gaochi, but chose Yang Shiqi, an official of the East Palace. 4∴8065 Xia Xun approached Yang Shiqi, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter, why is the crown prince late?"

Yang Shiqi turned his head and saw that it was Xia Xun, so he hurriedly said in a low voice: "Duke, this fact is an accident..." Yang Shiqi briefly explained what happened, and then said: "We don't have a chance now, we plan to wait until the banquet is over , and then follow the prince to explain the whole story to the emperor..."

Xia Xun immediately interrupted him, and said in a deep voice: "The important thing is not to explain, but to apologize! The prince does not need to explain, the prince only needs to apologize! It is best for the grandson to speak, and you can see that the emperor I love the emperor's grandson the most, let him explain it, and get twice the result with half the effort. Also, someone has to take care of everything that is not well thought out, and you must keep the prince!"

Yang Shiqi's expression changed, and he said, "Duke, it's just that he missed the driver for some reason. Is it so serious?"

Xia Xun stared deeply at the emperor on the throne. Zhu Di was talking with King Boni who was sitting in front of him. Xia Xun said in a low voice, "I just hope...it won't be more serious than this!"

Xia Xun turned and left, Yang Shiqi stared at his back, his expression changed suddenly, after a moment of hesitation, he also hurriedly left!

After the banquet was over, all the officials withdrew from the palace, and Zhu Di sent King Boni and the envoys of other countries all the way to His Majesty Dan, with a very cordial attitude.

The Japanese envoys and the Timurid envoys are the most anxious at the moment. Their countries are in full swing. They can't wait to hold Emperor Yongle to talk about this matter. If they can get Ming's support, they can go back to Jiao Difference.It would be even more unexpected if the Ming emperor could cooperate with him in the military.

But they also knew that Emperor Yongle had just returned to Beijing today, and had just hosted a banquet for the foreign envoys and ministers, and it was not appropriate to discuss military and state affairs at this time, so they could only endure it, as if a pair of resentment from the king's luck for a long time , only looked at Zhu Di with a pair of resentful eyes.

Zhu Di already knew the reason for their tribute. Seeing their appearance, Zhu Di couldn't help smiling, and ordered the middle officer to tell them that he would meet them specially at a suitable time.Zhu Di was exhausted all the way, and after returning to Beijing, he received pilgrimage and entertained envoys from all over the world non-stop. He was really tired, so he drove to the harem to rest.

As soon as he walked to Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di saw the prince kneeling by the roadside, and his face immediately sank again.Hearing footsteps, Zhu Gaochi raised his head slightly to see a corner of the dragon robe, and immediately kowtowed heavily, and said loudly: "My minister missed the time to meet the driver, and I violated my etiquette. It is a serious crime. I respectfully ask my father to punish me!"

Zhu Di smiled coldly and said, "You know it's impolite? When I came back from Beijing, there was no shortage of civil and military envoys from the Manchu Dynasty, Chinese and foreign envoys. You are my son, and you are the supervisor of the country. You are so late, and you end up in a mess on the road. Greet you from the side. Gao Chi! You haven't become the emperor yet, but the emperor's airs are bigger than being a father!"

This sentence was too heartbreaking, and Zhu Gaochi was so shocked that he sweated like rain, kowtowed again and again, and said: "My son is guilty, my son is guilty, and I am willing to be punished by my father, so that the law of the country can be established and the principles are normal!"

The two words that Xia Xun hurriedly gave to Yang Shiqi were exactly what Zhu Gaochi wanted. He just tried to be calm at the banquet, thinking about how to explain it to the emperor.Zhu Gaochi was well aware of his father's temperament, and after thinking about it, he always felt that it would be better to plead guilty than to justify, and he just simply pleaded guilty.

Even though the emperor should know the reason for his delay in meeting him, he couldn't say it himself. With Xia Xun's reminder, Zhu Gaochi made up his mind, so he just kowtowed and apologized without saying anything else.

Zhu Di said in a cold voice: "As the crown prince, every word and deed should be an example for all officials. The laws of the country, the rules and regulations? Yes, so you also understand this truth. You think that if you plead guilty like me, you will be spared! Gao Chi, son If you make a mistake, a father can forgive you. If a subject makes a mistake, the king must reward and punish him clearly! You and I are not only father and son, but also king and minister!"

Zhu Gaochi became even more terrified when he heard him, don't dare to speak, just kowtow: "My son is willing to be punished by the emperor!"

Human feelings are like this, even between father and son, there is no difference. If I don’t like you, you can sit there and eat, and I will be annoyed for no reason, and I will scold you when I put down my chopsticks. disgust, what can you do?His son, whom he likes, steals the money he hides under the mattress to buy snacks today, and kicks a football tomorrow and shatters the glass windows of the neighbor's house. This old man still treats him as a rare eyeball.

Zhu Xiaopang suffered because he didn't please his father since he was a child. Such a big or small thing made him so embarrassed.If Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were responsible for the slow reception, Zhu Di probably wouldn't even bother to scold him.Xiaopang was wronged in his heart, but he just kowtowed to plead guilty, not daring to have a word of excuse.

His father is in a fit of anger, if he argues that he was wronged, Zhu Di will only use it as a sophistry for any reason.

You stumbled?Your car broke down?Why did you go early?Why don't you even pay attention to repairing your own mounts and cars?If you don't sweep a room, how can you sweep the world!Your car broke down?Can't you ride a horse and go to the riverside to pick up the driver first, and you have to sit in a car to be stable?Did you miscalculate the time when I rushed back?Dare to love, you originally planned to meet him with a pinch, do you still have me as a father in your heart?

Zhu Xiaopang admits his mistake honestly, but judging by Zhu Di's appearance, he still doesn't want to spare him. Zhu Di's anger is still there, and he is still waiting to be reprimanded. A young man suddenly ran over from a distance, and without saying a word, he went to Zhu Gaochi's side and "boomed" "kneel.Zhu Di saw that it was his precious grandson Zhu Zhanji, and he couldn't help wondering: "Zhanji, what are you doing?"

Zhu Zhanji said: "The emperor's grandfather punished his father, and the grandson came to be punished with his father."

Zhu Di was startled and said, "You child, your father's dishonesty has nothing to do with you? Don't get meddled, get up quickly."

Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "The ancient sages said: When a filial son treats his relatives, he should not make his relatives feel indifferent, troubled, frightened, depressed, unspeakable, and ashamed. Father was punished by the emperor's grandfather, and he was shocked. Frightened, melancholy, inexplicable remorse, my grandson feels the same way, since I can’t bear it on behalf of my father, then I can only suffer it with my father, this grandson is showing his filial piety!”

Hearing Longyan's joy, Zhu Di had a smile on his face, and said in a warm voice: "Grandson, your father made a mistake, not you. The emperor is practicing the law of the country, not the law of the family. Good grandson , get up quickly, your little arms are tender and tui, they won't be green in a while, get up quickly, get up quickly."

Zhu Zhanji is not willing to agree, just raised his head and said: "Grandfather, there are all parents in the world. In the eyes of the grandson, the father is the father, and it cannot be separated from your fault. If the father is really wrong, it is the grandson's fault." Please forgive the grandson's father, please forgive the grandson's father, and fulfill the filial piety of the grandson!"

Zhu Di was a little surprised, looked at him and said, "Who taught you these words?"

Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "This is the master's teaching, the sage's teaching! My grandson has already remembered it in my heart!"

Zhu Di was silent for a moment, sighed softly, stroked his head and said, "Good grandson, good grandson, get up, grandpa will not punish your father, get up quickly!"

"Thank you, grandpa!"

Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed to thank you, and hurriedly kowtowed, and the prince Zhu Gaochi also kowtowed hurriedly: "My son thanked my father!"

As soon as Zhu Di turned his face to him, it was clear and cloudy again immediately, he snorted heavily and said, "You, I don't know how much I have to worry about if your son is so well-behaved! Go back to Tai Zigong and think about your past! Zhan Ji , let's go and take a bath with grandpa!"

"Oh!" Zhu Zhanji agreed, got up and held Zhu Di's hand, turned his head and winked at his father.

Zhu Gaochi is really depressed: "I am honest and follow the rules, so why do you worry about it? You look good, whatever you do. You look bad... what can I do?"
