Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

"I don't know how Father Emperor would have the time to call his ministers over today."

On the chessboard, black and white are intertwined, and the lines on the chessboard are just like this life, intricate and complicated.

"I've been bored these days, and there's no one around to talk to, so I'll call you here."

Zhu Di held the black piece in his hand, and Zhu Gaoyu held the white piece. At first, the two were evenly matched, but at the back, Zhu Di seemed to have other things on his mind, and he didn't pay attention to the chessboard at all.

"Among my sons, although you are the youngest, you are also the one that reassures me the most."

"Father is joking." Zhu Gaoyu dropped a piece lightly, and the black chess lost most of the river, and the white chess was surrounded by the remaining black chess.

"I want to come to my father's intention of being a drunkard today, not drinking. This chess game is not as good as in the past. If my father doesn't think of a way, I will lose."

Zhu Di glanced at the chess game and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You kid, you know that I'm absent-minded, but you deliberately distracted me by talking, making it clear that you want me to lose."

Zhu Gaoyu had already seen that Zhu Di was not in the situation, so he left a few moves, otherwise this chess game should have ended long ago.

"Father's words have wronged me, and my son's kindly reminded me, how could it become a distraction."

Zhu Di glanced at the chessboard, then quickly withdrew his gaze, probably knowing that he was powerless, or he didn't put his mind on it at all. .

Zhu Gaoyu helplessly put down the chess in his hand, "If there is anything wrong with the father, it is better to speak out, and Cheng must listen carefully."

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from your eyes." Zhu Di smiled and said with consideration: "It's not your third brother who is ineffective. After trying to detain him for so long, he also learned a lesson and knew that he was wrong."

Probably the older a person is, the easier it is to be soft-hearted, and he hopes that his children and grandchildren will be around his knees, and Zhu Di is no exception. Although he is still decisive in killing, he is no longer as cruel as he used to be.

Otherwise, according to his previous temperament, Zhu Gaojiu would have to be locked up for ten days and a half months.

Zhu Gaoyu could hear his words, he wanted to release Zhu Gaoyu, but his expression remained the same, "If the royal father wants to release it, let it go, the third brother should have repented after being locked up for these days. I won't make that mistake again."

What he didn't say was that, according to Zhu Gaojiu's dog temper, he would not reflect on himself at all, instead he blamed all the blame on him and hated him to the end.

Zhu Di looked at his face, there was no dissatisfaction or resentment, and then he felt relieved, "You can think so, that's the best, but I hope that our family can be peaceful and peaceful, and there will be no more troubles."

After all, Zhu Gaojiao also offended Zhu Gaoyu at that time, and he kept saying that he stole the credit.

Zhu Di is not blind, although the four brothers are with him, and they seem to be brothers and sisters on the surface, and they have a good relationship, but in fact he knows in his heart that these people are more or less at odds with each other.

"Father said yes."

Zhu Gaoyu's expression made it impossible to see any abnormality. Even if he wanted to refuse, he could stop Zhu Di for a while, but he couldn't stop him forever.

What's more, it's always a father and son, and it's not a big crime of treason. It's impossible for Zhu Di to really keep Zhu Gaojiao in prison for the rest of his life.

"But don't worry, I won't let you suffer so many grievances for no reason. Even if your third brother is released, let him rest at home for a while."

What Zhu Di meant was that even if Zhu Gaojiu came out temporarily, he would not have real power in his hands, and he would not be able to make any waves if he wanted to.

For this result, Zhu Gaoyu is quite satisfied, what can he do when he comes out, he is not an idle prince, according to Zhu Gaoyu's temperament, I am afraid it will be more uncomfortable than locking him up.

At this moment, a servant came to report.

"Report to the emperor, the king of Han asks to see you."

Zhu Gaoyu's eyes flashed, what is he doing at this time?

When Zhu Gaojiu stepped into the door and saw that Zhu Gaoyu was also there, his expression changed slightly, but he remained calm.

"My son, please greet the emperor."

Zhu Di's tone was neither salty nor light, "Get up, why are you free today?"

"My son has something to discuss with the royal father." Zhu Gaojiu gave Zhu Di a big gift, and his attitude was extremely humble.

This sentence sounded like a thunderstorm in the ears of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoyu.

"Just a fan? You want to be a fan?" Zhu Di asked in disbelief.

When the position of the prince was determined, the other princes should be prepared to deal with the vassal, but the king of Han and the king of Zhao refused to let go of their rights, and there were still illusions about that position.

If they leave the capital just like this, it means that they are completely far away from power, and they will no longer be able to be in that position of supremacy. Therefore, they procrastinate in every possible way, find all kinds of excuses, and just refuse to follow the steps.

Zhu Di had no choice but to let them pretend to be foolish.

Now that Zhu Gaojiu offered to join the vassal, why didn't Zhu Xi be surprised.

"My son is confirmed." Zhu Gaojiu said it again.

"Before I didn't want to leave the capital, it was because my father was not in good health, and the crown prince occasionally fell ill, and the fourth brother was still young. If we leave here, if something unexpected happens, the mountains and rivers are far away, and it is inevitable that we will be far behind. "

"Now that the four seas have been pacified, the chaos in the borderlands and grasslands has been resolved, the Tusi and Japanese pirates in the southeast are no longer in trouble, and the Dongying area has also been relieved of danger.

What Zhu Gaojiu said was touching and sincere, and even Zhu Di was moved when he heard it.

"You have a heart. Since it has been decided, how can I stop you."

These remarks not only dispelled Zhu Xi's suspicion, but also completely dissipated his anger towards Zhu Gaojiu, because the two would soon be far away from the capital and go to a remote place at the border. when.

No matter how much dissatisfaction and anger there was, it turned into reluctance at this time.

"When are you going to leave?"

Without any obstruction, Zhu Xi readily agreed to Zhu Gaojiu's request to join the vassal.

"It will probably be ready to leave within the next few days."

Zhu Gaojiu knew that only when they left as soon as possible would they be able to arouse Zhu Xi's greatest guilt in a very short period of time, so that it would be more convenient for them to act and operate. .

Chapter 300

Zhu Gaoyu listened silently by the side, and did not express his opinion, but his eyes fell on the chessboard.

Now that Hei Zi has been surrounded by Bai Zi, he is almost completely defeated. It seems that the victory and defeat are already divided, and there is no suspense between winning and losing, but he knows that as long as there is a chance of life, Zhu Gaojiu and the others will not give up the hope of a comeback.

No, the solution will be figured out soon.

"Since you are ready to join the vassal, why not stay in the capital for a few more days."

Sure enough, Zhu Gaojiu's touching words just now won Zhu Di's sympathy, and the tone seemed to be reserved - Zhu Gaojiu smiled bitterly.

"We have already caused a lot of trouble, and we don't want to worry about us anymore. The third brother has grown up a lot after being banned. My son went to visit a few days ago. Think back to the past when we shared weal and woe together.”

Zhu Di was also recalled by his words and said with emotion:

"Yeah, when you were so young, you followed me in the South and the North and suffered a lot, and when you were a little old, you slept with the army and slept in the open, running around. Even though the living conditions were difficult, you never said that you were tired. Now I think it's me. I owe you all."

"Whatever the father said, these are what the sons and ministers should do. No matter what you owe, we are all a family, so it's not a matter of life."

Zhu Gaojiao's voice was choked, and there was a sparkling light in his eyes. When he rarely showed such emotions, Zhu Di patted him on the shoulder, looking very moved.

Such a picture of a father's kindness and filial piety is quite touching, but when Zhu Gaoyu watched it, he always felt that something was too deliberate.

At that time, Zhu Gaoyu hadn't been born yet, so he couldn't take part in it. Now, when he mentioned it frequently, he seemed like an outsider, and Zhu Di didn't notice this, it seemed that his existence became more and more weak.

Just at this moment, Zhu Gaojiao raised his head, crossed Zhu Di, and his eyes fell on him, with an unexplainable taste. He was about to look more closely, but he quickly retracted his gaze.

Zhu Gaoyu raised his eyebrows involuntarily, "Second brother is right, we are a family."

"Before, the third brother didn't choose to speak, and he also received the punishment he deserved. I think the fourth brother will not take it to heart."

Zhu Di's anger has disappeared now, and what kind of dissatisfaction can Zhu Gaoyu have? It seems that there is nothing wrong with these words, and it is not a big deal at first, but when Zhu Gaojiu said this, it seems that he is still thinking about this matter.

Zhu Di frowned next to him, and his exploratory eyes also fell on Zhu Gaoyu, as if he was worried that he still cares about this matter.

Zhu Gaoyu said with a half-smile, "I forgot about that a long time ago, how can I still remember what the third brother said."

"Yeah, your fourth brother didn't care for a long time. When I played chess with him earlier, I still talked about it and wanted to release the third one."

Zhu Gaojiu smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, so he didn't believe that Zhu Gaoyu would be so kind, "In this way, I'm relieved."

Zhu Di was probably still reminiscing about the past, and he didn't find the dark tide between the two brothers. He sighed faintly, "I'm really glad that you and the third child can think this way. I always thought you couldn't let go—"

"The one that our brothers can't let go has always been the father and emperor." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Gaojiu. His words were sincere and his true feelings were revealed. hallucinatory.

Not to mention Zhu Di, even Zhu Gaoyu was about to be deceived by his superb acting skills. If it wasn't for the wrong time and occasion, he really wanted to applaud.

Otherwise, the people in the royal family all wear masks. The wolf is the wolf, and no amount of disguise can change the fact.

The drama of the father and son's deep love was well performed, and Zhu Gaojiu's all kinds of miserable pretences were pitiful. Not to mention, this kind of underdog strategy is quite effective, and Zhu Xi also likes this when he is old.

It's just Zhu Gaoyu, maybe the onlookers are clear, he sees it clearly, but it's not easy to name it directly, otherwise Zhu Xi will misunderstand him and sow discord, and they won't see Zhu Gaojiu repent.

"Since you've made a decision, I can't keep anything. I just hope that the mountains and rivers will last, and you will be prepared all the way, and you must take good care of yourself."

Even if Fan was the one who proposed it, seeing that Zhu Xi really didn't want them to stay, Zhu Gaojiao's expression was distorted for a moment.

He hurriedly lowered his head to prevent Zhu Di from noticing his strangeness, "My son, thank you for your concern."

"That's all." Zhu Di waved his hand, "Let the third child come over, I still have something to tell you."

After receiving the summons, Zhu Gaoyu quickly rushed over. He stepped into the imperial study again as if he had passed away. The moment he saw Zhu Gaoyu's figure, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"My son is guilty. I accept that the father and the emperor will not abandon him. Forgive my son for contradicting him."

Zhu Gaojiu gave a big gift, and his attitude was humble, and he could not see the wild and unpretentious actions of that day.

Zhu Di looked at him, the wide robe wrapped around the thin figure, the sleeves were obviously empty, and the wind blew up, "You have lost a lot of weight these days."

0 .............  

Zhu Gaojiu showed a wry smile, "My father does not punish me severely for the offense, but just grounds my feet. My son can't sleep at night, tossing and turning, day and night to reflect on what he has done, and I don't want to let my father down."

Zhu Di nodded again and again. If he said that he contradicted Zhu Gaoyu's remarks before, he was still a little displeased. At this moment, his sincere words completely disappeared.

"I am very glad that you have such thoughts."

Zhu Gaojiu hurriedly said from the side, "Father, I said that the third brother already knew of repentance, and he would not be able to come here again."

Zhu Di said several more words, all of which were praises for Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaojiu. After all, the two were about to leave Beijing, and what they sang about was a success.

Not only did Zhu Di get rid of the grudges caused by the previous incident, but also gave birth to a little guilt, and even made up his mind to assign a wealthy fief to the two.

"The original fief, I think it's a bit inappropriate. I plan to choose one again. What do you think? Wait for a few days to hold a banquet for you."

The two of them looked at each other, flashed a touch of surprise, and said in unison, "Everything is up to the father and the emperor."

The previous fiefs were a bit remote. If Zhu Di could assign a nearby one with abundant supplies, it would be very helpful for their future great cause.talent.
