Chapter 51: Zhu Gaoxi

Hu Ye spoke very well. The people in the inner hall nodded frequently after hearing this, only Xu Miaoyin had a cloud of sorrow on her face. After Hu Ye finished speaking, she said with a hint of sadness, "The problem in Peking has been solved, but there are so many people in the world who are about to suffer. Hu Ye, do you have any way to save them?"

"The princess is joking. She is an ordinary person, not a god descending to the earth. A drought is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, not a man-made disaster. Therefore, we have made every effort to save the people of Peking. As for the people in the world, it depends on the emperor's actions." Hu Ye said helplessly.

If possible, he really hoped that the whole country would implement his measures. But this was impossible. He was able to convince Zhu Di because Zhu Di trusted him enough. If Hu Ye told Zhu Yuanzhang that there would be a severe drought this year, Hu Ye believed that his head would definitely fall in the vegetable market at the Meridian Gate, and the charge was to confuse the public.

So what Hu Ye can do is to try his best to protect the people of Peking. If possible, the food transported from Jiangnan can also help some refugees from Hebei and Tianjin.

"Miaoyin, don't make things difficult for Hu Ye. He has taken a lot of risks when he can tell us this news. If this matter reaches the ears of the father, he will inevitably be accused of confusing the public. So let's take good care of our people first. I will advise my father to let the whole country build water conservancy, but whether it can be successful depends on the father's intention. He is a little suspicious of our sons now. If I say anything more, he probably thinks I am going to rebel." Zhu Di said.

Hu Ye rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Aren't you just going to rebel?"

"Oh, I hope the people of the world can overcome this difficulty." Xu Miaoyin clasped her hands together and made a wish to the roof.

"The princess is so concerned about the world. I believe that the sky will be moved by the princess' sincerity and the people will suffer less." Hu Ye looked at Xu Miaoyin and said, thinking that this is indeed a good queen, no wonder he will be called Queen Renxiao after his death.

After hearing Hu Ye's comfort, Xu Miaoyin had to smile bitterly. She is a talented woman, she is a scholar, and she is not superstitious. She also knows that the sky is a volatile thing. If you can listen to her own words, it would be a strange thing. She just wanted to be at peace, but she thought of something, bit her lip and said with a little twisted voice, "Hu Ye, you can know the future and come up with so many tricks. I have something to ask for, but I don't know if you can agree."

"If you have something to do, please tell me. If I can do it, I will do my best."

Hu Ye agreed without thinking too much, but he really couldn't find a reason to reject her.

"Silang, why not call Xier out and let Hu Ye see it. Maybe he knows the reason." Xu Miaoyin turned around and said to Zhu Di when Hu Ye agreed.

The joy in Zhu Di's original eyes disappeared, as if Xi'er was a stone in his heart and could not be put down easily.

"Okay, but don't have too much hope." Zhu Di said gently, not blaming Xu Miaoyin for betraying him just now.

Hu Ye was very surprised. Who is Xier? He sounded like a woman. But Hu Ye didn't remember Zhu Di had a daughter with the word "this", so his son was even less.

Hu Ye looked at Zhang Yu and the others again, and found that there was no smile on their faces, but they just lowered their heads dullly. Daoyan continued to fiddle with the Buddhist beads, but there was obviously a hint of sadness on his face.

Xu Miaoyin got Zhu Di's approval and turned around and walked out of the inner hall. Soon after, she brought in a five or six-year-old child.

Hu Ye found that the child was very pale and walked shakyly. If he was not pulled by the princess, he would never walk.

The child saw that there were many people in the room and basically knew each other, so he showed a smile and came to Zhu Di under the guidance of the princess.

"Father."

The child threw himself into Zhu Di's arms, smiled with difficulty, and then sat on Zhu Di's thigh and looked at the people in the inner hall.

"Uncle Zhang Yu, Brother Zhang Fu, Uncle Jin Zhong, and Master Daoyan, why are you all here? Are you here to see me together? Master Daoyan, you said last time that you wanted to take me to Xiangshan to see the scenery, why didn't you take me there after so long? Do you want to regret it?" The child said hello like these people, and then said to Daoyan with a slight mouth.

"Xi'er, don't mess around. Master Daoyan is very busy, so how can I have time to accompany you to Xiangshan?"

Zhu Di pretended to be angry and interrupted the child, but his tone was not loud at all, his eyes were not cruel at all, and some were just endless kindness.

Hu Ye felt that he didn't know Zhu Di in front of him anymore. Is he still the devil who kills without blinking? Or is he the King of Yan with a thicker face than the city wall?

Hu Ye looked at Xu Miaoyin again and found that her eyes were already a little crystal clear. Yes, that was tears. But why did she turn around and wipe it dry? Is she afraid that the child will find out?

Daoyan, who had been silent, was very restless at this moment and did not fiddle with the Buddhist beads in his hand. Instead, he stood up and came to Zhu Di, "Xi'er is indeed a good memory. I did say this. Maybe I'm a little old and forgetful, so I forgot about this. But don't worry, when I get free, I will take you to Xiangshan and see the big Buddhas in Xiangshan Temple. They have dancing monkeys in their hands, their eyes will glow, and their heads will smoke. I went to see that time, and the next day, a hair grew on my head. I took a lot of effort to pull it off."

"Haha, Master Daoyan lied to me again. You are a monk, how can you grow hair? Father, do you say so?" Daoyan's words made Xier laugh.

Xier smiled, but Hu Ye opened his eyes. Is this the eminent monk Daoyan? Is this the talented Yao Guangxiao? Hu Ye's understanding has been subverted again. Daoyan, who has always been a master, is now joking with a child? He is still laughing at the fact that he is bald?

"Xi'er, that's your brother Hu Ye, call me." Seeing Xi'er laughing happily, Zhu Di pointed at Hu Ye and said to Xi'er.

"Oh, Brother Hu Ye, hello." Perhaps because he laughed too much just now, Xier was panting when she called out.

"Your Highness, this person is..." Hu Ye asked curiously.

Hu Ye remembered that Zhu Di's third son should be ten years old now, and it is impossible for him to be so old. Could it be that this is Zhu Di's illegitimate son? Hu Ye denied his ridiculous idea. If it was an illegitimate son, Xu Miaoyin could not be so attentive as a genuine brand. Could this be Zhu Di's fourth son? Hu Ye thought of a possibility.

"This is my son, Zhu Gaoxi." Zhu Di said proudly, and then poked Zhu Gaoxi's face with his two beards, causing Zhu Gaoxi to keep pulling his beard, but he was still enjoying it.
