high official

Chapter 566
Above the Golden Palace, Zhu Di recalled the scene half an hour ago...

"Father..." Zhao Wang knelt in front of the emperor, kowtowed heavily and said, "It was my son who came up with such a bad idea when he was dizzy for a while." He said with snot and tears: "But I didn't expect Those trees are so afraid of waterlogging, just watered one more time, and some of them withered..."

"You bastard!" Zhu Di flew into a rage when he heard that, and kicked Zhu Gaosui to the ground with a flying kick.Zhu Gaosui let out a muffled snort, and, ignoring the pain, got up from the ground again, weeping: "My son tried it in the mansion before, and watered it much more than that, but the ginkgo trees in my mansion just fell off. Some leaves, now they are all slowly waking up again!" After speaking this call, Zhao Wangcai felt tightness in his chest, he coughed twice, his face flushed and said: "My son wanted to use the ginkgo tree to shed leaves, I told my father that the ancestors could not bear the separation of our father and son, so they warned me, as long as my father refuses to listen to the instigation of those treacherous ministers, those Gongsun trees will definitely recover!"

After hearing what his son said, the anger on Zhu Di's face became less intense.Zhu Gaosui hurriedly hit the rails while it was hot: "My minister heard the news that those trees were dead, and I wanted to die..." He said with snot and tears: "My minister is just angry with those ministers, why can they do it?" The father is kind and the son is filial, the family is always reunited, but the father and the son are separated from each other? I can't imagine how dark it must be to never see my father again!"

If Zhu Gaosui was born a few hundred years later, nothing would happen to Ma Jingtao. He was crying heartbreakingly, beating his chest vigorously and saying: "Father, you are getting old, and the holy body is not in good condition, son. I can't wait to serve the imperial court every day and do my filial piety, if I let my son never see my father in this life, it's better to give my son to death!"

Zhu Gaosui cried so hard that his heart was broken, like a cuckoo crying blood, which made Zhu Di's hard-hearted cry soft. Looking at the face that resembled Empress Xu, he was full of heartbreak, Zhu Di's eye circles were also red, and he hurriedly looked up at the palace. He said: "Don't cry!" The emperor lowered his head, stared at Zhu Gaosui with red eyes and said: "You don't want to leave the capital, I can understand, you killed the ginkgo tree in front of the Xiaoling Palace, I can forgive you... Tell me honestly, did you shoot the arrow that your second brother got shot?!" After speaking, the emperor's tone couldn't help but become gloomy.

"My second brother's arrow?" Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment, and then wept even more sadly: "Father actually suspects me of assassinating second brother? Could it be that in the eyes of my father, this son is actually a cruel and merciless person who will not be recognized by his six relatives?!"

"That's not what I mean," Zhu Di shook his head and said, "I'm just surprised that not many people know the news about your second brother's going to Xiaoling. Without someone who knows the news, the assassin would not be able to succeed."

"I don't know here," Zhu Gaosui said with tears, "I have had the best relationship with my second brother since I was a child. He was assassinated just like I was shot by an arrow. When I heard that my second brother was assassinated because of me, I thought I have the heart to die! I wish I could catch that assassin and tear him into pieces!"

Zhu Di looked at his son carefully for a moment, and saw that he didn't seem to be a fake... and the emperor didn't want to believe it from the bottom of his heart, no matter what the purpose was, it was absolutely unforgivable for his own son to assassinate another son!
"I have the right to trust you once, if it turns out that you lied to me in the future," Zhu Di paused, "Don't blame me for not thinking of the love between father and son!"

"If my son is a murderer, let me have a terrible death!" Zhu Gaosui hurriedly swore loudly: "Go down to the eighteenth floor of hell, and I will never be reborn forever!"

"Okay, shut up!" Zhu Di felt sorry for his son again, glared at him and said, "Just this once, don't make an example!"

"Thank you father for your kindness, I will never dare again!" Zhu Gaosui was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di gasped for breath, and said in a cold voice: "But this matter has already caused a lot of trouble, so we can't let it go like this. You have to give an explanation to the courtiers. Also, the British prince has been busy for so many days, so I have to give him an explanation." , so as not to resent the heroes."

"Your servant knows." Zhu Gaosui didn't know the principle of accepting as soon as he sees a good deal, so he hurriedly said obediently: "My minister will let my father punish me."

"You have a lot of wealth, and a year's fine will not affect you. After a while, you will receive a court staff of forty, and then you will be grounded." Zhu Di's tone gradually became stricter: "As for the length of the grounding, it depends on your performance. Go back and read the books of sages and sages carefully, and understand what is righteous and what is evil! You are already old, how can you do what you want like this? If you don’t change your ways, sooner or later, I will have to kill Ma Su with tears!"

"My son knows." Zhu Gaosui said with a chill in his heart, with his head downcast.He also listened to the emperor's instructions to the left and right: "Order Jin Yiwei not to allow selfishness, and let King Zhao learn a lifelong lesson!" This kind of big internal play has a higher level, better technology, and can better meet the subtle requirements of customers.But they only have one customer, and that is the emperor. The emperor said that they are not allowed to show favoritism, which means that they are not allowed to let the water go too far, but they also want Zhao Wang to "learn a lifelong lesson", so they want Zhao Wang It was a painful wound, but it should heal quickly after the incident, let alone leave sequelae.

"Yes." The eunuch knew it well, and after taking the order, he went to King Zhao, wrapped a piece of yellow silk around his neck, and said softly, "Your Highness, let's go."

"Thank you, Father." Zhu Gaosui kowtowed and said with tears, "I must reflect on my heart and strive to see Father again as soon as possible."

"Go." Zhu Di waved his hand and stopped looking at him.

.

Zhu Di told Zhang Fu what happened just now, and he said viciously: "Nizi is so bold and blasphemy to his ancestors, I really wish I could kill him." He said affectionately: "But his starting point is still good, yes I have a lot of affection for my elder brother and father, but I have neglected to discipline him on weekdays, which made him so daring!"

"..." Zhang Fu listened quietly to the emperor talking to himself, and felt really emotional in his heart, no matter how wise and decisive Emperor Yongle was, he was just an ordinary father when he met his son.In fact, if Yongle was a senseless and foolish emperor, he would not have to bother with him, or even punish King Zhao.But Zhu Di is a wise king who knows what is right and what is wrong. Even if he is the emperor himself, he can't do whatever he wants.That's why when the identity of the emperor and the role of the emperor conflicted, Zhu Di would flatter him as a courtier... It was because the idea of ​​favoring his son prevailed, and he became guilty because of legal principles.

As a minister, it is his duty to share the worries of the emperor and his father. Of course, Zhang Fu would not embarrass the emperor for such a thing, so he said respectfully: "King Zhao is also a sincere and filial piety, and the circumstances are excusable. What's more, he has not yet investigated the case. Before tomorrow, he had already taken the initiative to confess to the emperor. It can be seen that King Zhao did not intend to hide it from the emperor. Of course, he must be punished for what he did. But since the emperor has punished him severely, this case can be closed .”

"But how will the ancestors explain it?" Seeing Zhang Fu stepping down the steps like this, Zhu Di was overjoyed, but his face was still worried.

"As for this matter, Wang Zhenfu has checked it carefully. On the one hand, there is too much watering. On the other hand, there is a problem with the design of the tree pit. There is no drainage hole, so the tree pit is easy to accumulate water." Zhang Fu said: "So we should Rebuild the tree pit in front of the Xiaoling Palace, and then transplant new ginkgo trees, and let King Zhao go to confess to Taizu, I believe that Emperor Taizu will not blame his grandson."

"Well said." Zhu Di felt relieved when he heard that, knowing that Zhang Fu had arranged for him to go down the steps, he said in his heart that the British Duke deeply understands my heart!He couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and felt that something was wrong, he coughed twice and said: "It's hard to be a king, it's hard to be a father, and it's even more difficult to be a father. If you only care about the laws of the country, you will be in debt." The relationship between father and son. If you only care about the relationship between father and son, you will inevitably offend Chao Gang." The emperor sighed and said, "It's not easy to be born to my sons. The boss is weak and his character is even weaker. I saw his bear The second child is the most like me. He rescued him several times on the battlefield and worked hard. Those words I said back then really came from the bottom of my heart...but, alas, you know, when I got to that seat, I wanted to The perspective of the problem is different."

"Yes." Zhang Fu nodded, deeply convinced.

"Those civil officials say all day long that fathers and sons, monarchs and ministers are the first to respect morality. What is morality? The eldest son!" Zhu Di frowned and said, "I don't like to hear these words. I am not the eldest son, but I have to listen to it. Is it difficult for my children and grandchildren to learn from me to raise troops?" He said sadly, "So although I was very reluctant in my heart, I still appointed the eldest son as the prince. In this way, I am full of guilt for the King of Han, how can I force him again? If he is a fan, father and son will never see each other again?"

The emperor was very frank today, but Zhang Fu was in a cold sweat. He would rather not enjoy the frankness of the emperor.But at this moment, he could only comfort the emperor in a soft voice: "A father loves his son, and a son must also be considerate of his father. Besides, the emperor is not only a father, but also a king. Some things cannot be blindly followed by family affection, and you have to take care of it." Chao Gang, I think your highnesses are pure filial piety, and they all understand this in their hearts."

Although Zhang Fu didn't say anything, the emperor was very pleased with what he heard, nodded and said: "I hope, I hope that some rebellious sons can be as sensible as you, and I have nothing else to ask for." He stood up and stood up. Come on, sighed and said: "My life is miserable. Everyone has one son or several sons, but as the father of the emperor, everyone in the Ming Dynasty is my son. As a father, I really can't be considerate!"

"The emperor's benevolence is the blessing of all people in the world!" Zhang Fu hurriedly got up and said respectfully.

"You don't want to follow their flattery." After expressing his emotions, Zhu Di felt that the test in his heart could be passed, and he was in a much better mood. He said with a smile, "Let's do it according to what you discussed."
