Chapter 79(1/2)
Before, when the crown prince was not established, Zhu Gaoxu had just rented a house secretly outside Mian for convenience, and was worried that he would completely miss the position of the crown prince.
Of course, psychological factors account for the majority of the reasons.
If he really wants to be the crown prince, he would not be able to escape even if he lives outside the palace.
If you didn't plan to make him the crown prince at all, it would be useless to live in the palace.
Just like this, Zhu Gaoxu was guarding the palace, and the crown prince should not be him or him.
After becoming the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi moved into the Eastern Palace, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui also had to leave the capital and become a vassal.
However, Zhu Gaoxu bought a large-scale residence outside the palace and selected slaves, and had no intention of becoming a vassal.
Not only that, perhaps because Zhu Di owed Zhu Gaoxu some of his faults in the position of crown prince, he not only did not force Zhu Gaoxu to become a vassal immediately, but also selected some inner servants and palace maids to send them over.
Zhu Gaoxu's lord and fatherlessness in the morning court has never been punished, and now he has repeatedly protected Zhu Gaoxu's postponement of the vassal.
Such a behavior will make the group of civil officials who put the superiority and inferiority of the principles and principles of the principles of selfishness, and will make the prince's party alert.
Now Zhu Gaochi has been appointed as the crown prince, but everything is not sure.
As long as you don’t become emperor for a day, your position as crown prince may be revoked at any time.
Several great ministers of Wenyuan Pavilion had a close relationship with Zhu Gaochi before he was appointed as the crown prince. Now he had some official exchanges and had a closer relationship with Zhu Gaochi, a typical princeling.
The cabinet chief Xie Jin was the first to express his opposition to Zhu Gaoxu's actions and Zhu Di's condonation.
Since there is opposition, I will not hold it in my heart, and I immediately found Zhu Di.
A few days after the establishment of the crown prince, Zhu Di gradually calmed down.
Unexpectedly, Xie Jin made Zhu Di unhappy the first sentence he said.
"Your Majesty, the vassal kings should not stay in the capital for a long time. This is the will of Emperor Taizu Gao. Now that the King of Han has been granted the title, the King of Han should leave the capital as soon as possible, so as to avoid discord between brothers and turmoil in the country."
Everyone wants to see the harmony between their sons. If someone says there is a possibility of a conflict, how can they be happy?
What's more, this is his own family matter, and no matter how it is, no matter how it is, others are not going to be irresponsible.
Zhu Di's expression changed, and his tone was obviously unhappy, and he said, "The King of Han is still young, and I still have a lot of things to do. Let's wait."
Since Xie Jin took the initiative to find him, he would not give up if he didn't explain clearly.
"Your Majesty is like the King of Han, who has already gone to Peking for a long time. The three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. The Chinese civil and military officials in the court may not be inferior to His Highness the King of Han, but the joint efforts of the ministers will not be inferior to His Highness the King of Han."
In a word, I tried my best to force Zhu Gaoxu to become a vassal.
In the end, Zhu Di is unlikely to be Xie Jin's opponent.
Since you can't say it, there is no need to force it.
Zhu Di waved his hand and came straight to the point of being strong, saying, "The King of Han is my son. When will he let him know what time it will be. Jie Qing doesn't have to worry about it."
Xie Jin wanted to say more, but Zhu Di called the inner servant to force him to see the guests off, and did not give Xie Jin a chance to continue.
Helplessly, Xie Jin had to leave with regret.
When he walked to the door, he was about to step out. Xie Jin seemed to have made up a great determination and turned around and walked up to Zhu Di. His tone was clear and he shouted in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Family is selfless. The King of Han is Your Majesty's son, but he must be the king of the Ming Dynasty first. Only when His Highness of Han goes to Yunnan to take advantage of the vassals as soon as possible can each return to his post and benefit the country."
Before Zhu Di's response had been received, Xie Jin's hard advice rushed out of the door, and grabbed Xie Jin's collar and was about to punch him.
"I have to do with you whether or not I have a feudal relationship. The family affection between my father and son was destroyed by people like you."
Zhu Di is now above the throne, and there are still many literati in the world who are not hiding his heart.
If Zhu Gaoxu had hit Jie Jin in the Warehouse, it would have been a disgrace to the hearts of all literati.
Not only those civil officials who surrendered from Zhu Yunwen, but also the new scholars of the new corps were dissatisfied with Zhu Di.
"What are you doing? Don't look at where it is."
Zhu Di was probably worried that the eunuchs who ordered the warm-up hall to serve, but those eunuchs could not hold back Zhu Gaoxu.
Therefore, Zhu Di had to take action personally and pull Zhu Gaoxu down.
Zhu Di grabbed his hand, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zhu Di, pulled his hand out of Zhu Di, saluted Zhu Di, with a little cold tone, and said, "My son went to see his mother, and the mother said that our family hadn't eaten together for a long time. Tonight, the whole family had a meal together. If the father could take time, it would have passed."
Obviously, Empress Xu did this to adjust the conflict between Zhu Gaoxu's brothers.
Zhu Di inherited Emperor Taizu Gao, protecting his shortcomings and valuing love.
For the problem of family affection that is particularly important, I will never miss the family dinner hosted by Empress Xu.
Although Zhu Gaoxu was a little cold in his attitude, Zhu Di agreed directly and said, "I know, I will go."
Afterwards, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head without looking back and left.
After Zhu Gaoxu left, it was no more interesting to talk about it, so he had to give in.
In fact, Zhu Gaoxu was just because he failed to hear Zhu Di's previous maintenance clearly.
If you know this, this excitement can completely offset any other unhappiness.
During dinner, there were only three brothers, Empress Xu, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi.
There are a few simple northern dishes, and five people sit together as they did in Peking.
It’s just that some things change, and the five people lose the happiness they have in Peking.
The father and son stared at each other, but in the end, Empress Xu spoke to break the embarrassment and said, "Don't sit down, you father and son, just use your chopsticks."
Zhu Di felt sorry for Empress Xu, and Zhu Gaochi's brothers were very filial and respected Empress Xu.
Empress Xu spoke, that she must give her face.
Soon, the father and son grabbed the chopsticks one after another.
Zhu Gaochi took the lead and picked up the food and delivered it to Zhu Di and Empress Xu's bowls as before.
Zhu Di and Empress Xu must continue to do this filial piety to their son.
Afterwards, Zhu Gaochi sent Zhu Gaoxu again.
Zhu Gaochi is scheming and will never show too much on his face no matter what he thinks in his heart.
Zhu Gaoxu is different. He does whatever he does, but he will not take into account the situation.
Zhu Gaoxu took the bowl and avoided the dishes that Zhu Gaochi took.
The atmosphere became a little awkward. Zhu Gaochi paused for a moment, put the dish that he had put for Zhu Gaoxu in his bowl, and then picked up what Zhu Gaosui liked.
"Gao Sui has liked to eat mutton dumplings since he was a child. This is what I specially ordered to prepare, eat more."
Looking at the interaction between the three brothers, Zhu Di and Empress Xu looked at each other.
Empress Xu talked about the time when the three brothers were young and said, "As soon as Gao Xu was born, Gao Chi was extremely happy and taught Gao Xu to walk and read."
When there is no benefit, brotherhood is deep.
With benefits, this kind of friendship is quickly exhausted.
Empress Xu used her feelings and Zhu Gaochi agreed repeatedly. Zhu Gaosui asked about the inaccurate past events in his memory from time to time.
Only Zhu Gaoxu looked a little disdainful and never participated in it from beginning to end.
After a meal, he was unable to transform Zhu Gaoxu with family affection.
Zhu Gaoxu took the lead in proposing his farewell and said, "Father, mother, son-in-law, son-in-law left. I don't want someone else's residence in the palace. If the son-in-law is gone, the palace is locked, and the son-in-law can't leave even if he wants to."
It would be nonsense to say that Zhu Gaoxu had no place to live in the palace.
Although the culprit was established, the residence in the palace was still kept for Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, and they lived as soon as they wanted.
When Zhu Gaoxu was staying outside the palace, Zhu Gaosui never took action.
In the end, Zhu Di issued an order to Zhu Gaosui's house, and was the one who was in charge of the palace maids.
Even if they returned to Beijing, they would never miss their residence.
Zhu Gaoxu obviously didn't want to stay anymore when he said this.
I hosted this family dinner so that Zhu Gaoxu could accept the appointment of the crown prince and live in peace with Zhu Gaochi.
The best way is to make Zhu Gaoxu willing to help Zhu Gaochi and assist Zhu Gaochi.
Since Zhu Gaoxu really couldn't accept it, it would be useless to continue talking about it.
If this method fails, then you can only think of other solutions.
Zhu Di stopped forcing and stood up first, waved his hand, and said with some impatientness: "Forget it, get out of the troublesome things."
Zhu Gaoxu immediately stood up and left without looking back.
Zhu Gaosui looked at Zhu Di, and looked at Zhu Gaoxu's back, but he didn't know how to make a decision.
When Queen Xu saw this, she said kindly: "Go back early and go to rest."
Zhu Gaosui left, and before Zhu Gaochi could drive away Zhu Di, he immediately said goodbye and left.
After all, today's family dinner is Zhu Gaoxu, and the protagonist has left, so it's useless to stay as a supporting role.
Seeing his three sons leaving, Empress Xu had no other way except to sigh.
After a while, Empress Xu asked, "If Gao Xu had been unwilling to go out and be a vassal, what would Your Majesty do?"
