Chapter 607 Zhu Di's Younger Daughter
Zhu Di was about to move the capital, but not many people knew about this matter, but Hu Ye knew that it was no secret to him.
"Prince, Peiping is a good place."
Hu Ye just said something casually, and then there was nothing else.
Zhu Di looked up at Hu Ye and asked curiously, "Oh?"
"It's gone, isn't this enough?" Hu Ye shrugged, asking for reasons. He could tell countless reasons for moving the capital, but he didn't want to say that there were one or two of them that could not be said.
"You have changed."
Zhu Di suddenly stood up and said, "Do you remember when you first met me? You dared to insult me for a group of irrelevant people. I didn't know why I held back at that time. You must know that I was a murderer at that time. But now, if I ask you, you will make excuses."
"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm vain. It's really a good place for Peking. It's close to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which can shock the Northern Yuan Dynasty very well and it's close to North Korea. Naturally, they dare not act rashly. There are many benefits, so I won't list them one by one." Hu Ye had no choice but to make up two reasons casually. As for the real reason, he dare not say it.
"I'm saying you're not making excuses." Zhu Di stared at Hu Ye viciously, but he didn't continue to ask, and he knew that he couldn't find out why.
"By the way, Your Majesty, when are you going to let Eunuch Zheng and the others set off?" Hu Ye asked.
"Let's start next spring, let the shipyard build more ships. There are too many good things in the place you are talking about. Even I want to go and see it." Since Hu Ye put aside the topic, Zhu Di stopped entangling, but said. "Boy, I heard that Xu Fu was also going to sea to find Penglai Immortal Island. I wonder how the Penglai Immortal Island compares with the Sun God Kingdom?"
Hu Ye frowned. Isn’t this Zhu Di thinking about immortality? He had been asking about the Heavenly Kingdom before, but now he is asking about the Sun God Kingdom again.
"Emperor, Xu Fu has searched for Penglai Immortal Island, but there is no Penglai Immortal Island in the world. Do you know where he finally arrived? Japan! That's the Immortal Island we conquered! That's the Immortal Island that Xu Fu finally found! But you know where it is? You didn't go to see it. Their production capacity is less than one-third of ours. In order to ensure that young and strong have food to eat, they had to send the elderly up the mountain and let them die on their own. There are many people who die every year. It's such a barbaric place, which is actually the Penglai Immortal Island that is mentioned by the people. Does the emperor think this is what the Immortal Island should look like?" Hu Ye said loudly.
He didn't want to interfere with the matter of the crown prince, but he had to take care of Zhu Di's request for immortality. If this guy became confused, he would cause big trouble. At that time, Qin Shihuang was a hero of a generation, so he sent Xu Fu to sea. He thought about immortality all day long, so the Qin Empire was destroyed like this.
If Zhu Di also embarked on this path, the Ming Dynasty would not be much better. Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu had to fight together, but the productivity that had just recovered would be destroyed like never before, and such things would never be allowed to happen.
"Okay, okay, don't I just ask, do you need to be so excited?" Zhu Di saw Hu Ye blushing and told him about the affairs of Japan. He knew that Hu Ye was here to be the real one, but in fact he was just trying to test it. His most curious target was the Heavenly Kingdom, not the immortality.
"If you want to talk to Zhao Zhong, you don't even have a big fuck. If you want to talk to move the capital, you will just say one thing, and let you talk about Penglai Immortal Island and the Sun God Kingdom. You have a lot of nonsense." Zhu Di muttered unhappyly, and then continued to walk.
"By the way, last month, Xianning had married Song Ying." Zhu Di suddenly said to Hu Ye.
"Marry? So soon?"
Hu Ye was stunned when he heard this and suddenly forgot all the anger he had just now. Xianning had been entangled with him for many years, but now he has finally achieved the merits and achieved the right result with Song Ying.
In this way, the Song Sheng family has produced two son-in-laws. I guess the guy will wake up from laughing in his dream in Gansu.
"I have to thank you for your matchmaking. You, you are not good at being a good prince. Is there anything wrong with my daughter?" Zhu Di complained with a hint of complaint, obviously he was still a little jealous of Hu Ye's resolute rejection of Xianning.
"Emperor, isn't Yingxue also your daughter now? Isn't I also the prince-in-law in name?" Hu Ye smiled.
"Okay, let's talk to you about the main business now." Zhu Di calmed down. He should have come to the deepest part of the Imperial Garden. The nearest guard was several feet away, so he stopped and said to Hu Ye.
Hu Ye was stunned. Be good, after saying so much, is there no serious matter? Then what can be considered a serious matter? And what must be told to himself and not let others know about the serious matter?
Hu Ye felt that today was in great trouble. He really didn't read the almanac when he went out. Things that he only knew by himself would definitely not be a good thing.
"You also know that I only have four daughters. Since Xianning got married, there has been no daughter by her side. You also know that the queen is a person who is easy to miss. Although Xianning is still in the academy with Song Ying, she always talks about not having a daughter by her side. Only Xier is with her side, which makes her feel that something is missing." Zhu Di said to Hu Ye in a low voice.
When Zhu Di said this, Hu Ye was confused. Didn’t Zhu Di in history have four sons and five daughters? Why did he have only four daughters when he got here?
But soon, Hu Ye's doubts were resolved.
"I called you here because I wanted you to help me," Zhu Di said.
"Help? What are you doing?" Hu Ye asked curiously.
"I want you to help me find my daughter." Zhu Di said.
"What? Looking for a daughter? What's the situation?"
Hu Ye almost jumped up, and he knew that it would be better to keep quiet at this time. Isn’t this the reason why Zhu Di brought him to the depths of this imperial garden?
"Your Majesty, what's going on?" Hu Ye asked in a low voice.
"Hey, this matter has to start from decades ago." Zhu Di sighed, then cleared his throat and began to start from the beginning, "That was more than 20 years ago. I had not been named King of Yan. You also know that young and energetic always makes me a little ridiculous. I wandered around the Qinhuai River with a few brothers, so I met a woman."
When Zhu Di said this, Hu Ye almost laughed. He didn't expect that this generation of emperors would have this time. No wonder when he was in Peking before, Xu Miaoyin said that Zhu Di also visited brothels when he was young, and it seemed that he had quite a few times.
Seeing that Hu Ye was holding back his laughter, Zhu Di could not see it. After glaring at Hu Ye viciously, he continued, "I was young and frivolous at that time, so she made a vow to marry her in the future, so she kept waiting. But luck made people. Soon after that, I was awarded the title of King of Yan and wanted to confer the title of Peiping. At that time, I was determined to do a big thing, so I forgot, and didn't even say a goodbye, so I embarked on the journey north. Until later, she asked someone to write a letter saying that Lang still cared about? It was sixteen years since Hongwu, and it had been six years since then. I didn't expect that she was still waiting for me hard."
"So I took the opportunity to celebrate my father's birthday and went to the Qinhuai River to meet her. That night, we enjoyed the flowers and the moon, and forgot the pain of separation over the past six years. Later..." Zhu Di did not say it clearly, but Hu Ye guessed what happened. It would be strange if a man and a woman were alone and widowed.
"Can't it..."
Hu Ye frowned and calculated the time. It was sixteen years since Hongwu, only twenty years away. He happened to be about the same age as Zhu Di's fifth daughter. Could it be that the brothel woman gave birth to Zhu Di's fifth daughter? No wonder the historical books record that Zhu Di's fifth daughter's mother is unknown. What a joke? The emperor and a brothel girl had a child. It was said that the royal family could not afford to lose this face.
"I guess you guessed something. After that day, we separated again because she didn't want to leave this place. Later I got the news that she finally passed away because of her physical weakness, and before she died, she gave birth to a daughter for me." Zhu Di murmured.
"Emperor..." Hu Ye was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Di.
"I know what you want to ask. I know her sincerity with me. It is absolutely impossible for her to have an affair with other men, so that child is mine." Zhu Di said with certainty.
Hu Ye's mouth twitched. He just wanted to ask if the queen knew about this. But this guy actually thought of it. He really deserved to be the emperor.
"After that, I also sent someone to Nanjing to search for it, but there was no news about that child anymore. Calculate the time, she is now very young and should be tall and graceful now. Now there is only Xier next to the queen. I am thinking about getting the child back. This matter cannot be done openly, so I will find you. Do you understand?" Zhu Di said to Hu Ye.
"Your Majesty, does the queen know about this?" Hu Ye finally asked, although he guessed that Xu Miaoyin must have known it, otherwise he would not have told Zhu Di about visiting the brothel at the beginning.
"The queen naturally knows it, otherwise I won't look for it." Zhu Di murmured.
"Since the emperor trusts me so much, I will definitely search for me." Hu Ye thought it was a bad thing, but he didn't expect it to be just an errand to find someone, so he was not worried.
"That's fine. Remember, you only allow this matter to be known by yourself, and even Yingxue can't be said." Zhu Di reminded repeatedly.
Hu Ye's mouth twitched, and Yingxue couldn't know about it. Wouldn't he tell Yingxue that we were going to the brothel? I don't know what happened again. It seems that he was too optimistic before. As expected, there was nothing good about Zhu Di.
"Your Majesty, I have a question, why did I let me do this?" Hu Ye asked curiously. Isn't this kind of thing easier to keep it secret for Zheng Da or Zheng Er to do it?
