Chapter 177: A Wonderful Family

In the Ming system, the prince was crowned the prince, awarded the gold book and gold treasure, the year Lu Wanshi, and the government placed the official subordinates. There were as few as 3,000 guards and as many as 19,000 men, and they were subordinate to the military department. The crown is the first in the car flag mansion, and the first class is under the son of heaven. The prince and the minister bowed and bowed, but did not dare to bow down. In history, only those princes and kings of the Han Dynasty were as high as the kings of the Ming Dynasty.

However, although Yongle Emperor Zhu Di seized the throne and ascended the throne as emperor under the banner of Jingnan, this method of cutting the feudal domain was stronger than that of Emperor Jianwen. At least, those vassal kings who thought that their brother would be lawless when they became emperors are now degraded, and the guards are cut by the guards, and the rest are at most powerful in the province, and it is difficult to have any more power. Even if it is Zhu Di's younger brother King Zhou, most of the time he will not leave the palace of King Zhou.

There was only one palace of the king of Zhou, but there were once four palaces of the king of Han. In the second year of Yongle, after Zhu Di canonized the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, he named Zhu Gaochu as the king of Han, the country of Yunnan, who knew that the palace had been built, Zhu Gaochu was stunned and never went, but built a magnificent Han palace in Nanjing. Later, Zhu Di insisted on sealing the ambitious him to Qingzhou, Shandong, but he still refused to do it, and reluctantly went to take office, and then he plundered and tortured the people, and finally was almost deposed as a concubine, and had to be resentful and happy.

Therefore, in Shandong alone, there are two Han palaces in Qingzhou and Le'an. Even if Qingzhou Mansion is no longer the territory of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, that palace is still standing, and the emperor does not mention it, and no one dares to mention a single word. With this excuse, Zhu Gaoxu would take his entourage to this palace from time to time, and Zhu Zhantan, the son of the Han Dynasty, also came often.

Although his health is not good, and he has never inherited his father's bravery, Zhu Zhantan's mind is quite meticulous. Although Le'an is a state, it was actually just a small county seat before. There is a salt farm on the northeast coast of Le'an, and since the Han Wangfu moved here, this salt farm was naturally requisitioned by Zhu Gaoxu as a matter of course. It's just that if you want to rely on this place, it's really hard to have any development. However, Qingzhou Mansion has been an important town in Shandong since ancient times, so he traveled back and forth between Le'an Prefecture and Qingzhou Mansion under various excuses for three days.

On this day, a carriage driven by eight high-headed horses and nearly 100 guards and attendants stopped in front of the west corner of the Han Palace. It's not so much a carriage as a moving hut.

The carriage was made of brass nails, more than four feet high, surrounded by red ribbon rings, and a red carpet at the bottom. The red woven gold chair rests on the mattress, and the red Luo curtain on the edge of the green edge hangs down in front of the chair, and the curtain in front of it is a carpet of gold and green flowers. The word "luxury" is actually an inexhaustible scene of magnificent decorations.

Zhu Zhantan, the sick son of the Han Dynasty, let two entourages help him get out of the car, and when he was about to enter the door, he saw Zhu Zhanqi hurrying out of it. Seeing his indignant face, he stopped him head-on, frowned and asked, "What's the matter with you." Got into trouble with your father again? ”

"Big brother, are you laughing at me, I dare to make trouble with him?" Zhu Zhanqi sneered, and a hint of anger appeared between his eyebrows, "He can stab our mother concubine to death with one sword, and he can naturally kill me with one sword!" I'm just talking to him. Now that the emperor's grandfather has sent his henchmen to Shandong, obviously with bad intentions, he smashed things and drove me out! Hmph, if it weren't for him, the king of Han, I wouldn't be happy. Who happily reminded him of these! ”

As soon as he heard Zhu Zhanqi mention his late mother, Zhu Zhantan's face also changed slightly. It's just that he is accustomed to following his father's will, and although he also hates this matter deeply, he never dares to put it on his face, so he shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about, don't want to cause trouble for your father!" It is a common thing for the court to transfer officials, and it is serious for you to take care of yourself, have you forgotten the court staff that made a big fuss in the British Mansion before? ”

Zhu Zhanqi's face became more and more ruthless. snorted coldly at Zhu Zhantan again, "Of course I can't forget!" Big brother, when he was the first prince, how many people said good things for his father, and what was the result? As soon as Qiu Fu's northern expedition died, those generals were like mutes, and they refused to stand up for their father, even Zhang Fu was not a good thing! Grandpa Huang has now forgotten even his priorities. I just beat up an inconspicuous boy from the Zhang family. He actually gave me a meal of the board on the basis of the beginning, and he gave me so many things to go out. Am I not his grandson? ”

"Enough!"

"You don't put the world on the shelf in front of me!"

Zhu Zhanqi's violent temperament is in the same vein as his father Zhu Gaoxu, and at this time, when the anger came up, where did he put Zhu Zhantan in his eyes, he actually pointed at the eldest brother's nose and said viciously: "Big brother, what you did I don't think I know!" You speak modestly in front of the English public, and I don't know what you have in mind? Yes, I stabbed Jinyiwei for the first Zhang Yue, I stayed in Nanjing for so many years in my early years, and I can still use this little eyeliner! If you want to sue, I can tell you, I'm a well-known person who will take revenge! ”

Putting down these cruel words, Zhu Zhanqi didn't care about Zhu Zhantan's iron-blue ground, and passed by his brother angrily, and walked out of the door and jumped on the horse and left. The first few guards did not dare to be rude, and when they passed, they all saluted sideways, and then hurriedly caught up. When this group of people galloped away, Zhu Zhantan only felt weak, and he was supported by people on the left and right, so he didn't collapse to the ground all of a sudden. Rao is like this, his appearance of more breath and less air intake still scared everyone around him half to death.

"His Royal Highness!"

"It's okay, bring me on your shoulders, I'm going to see my father."

Although the Han King Zhu Gaoxu was truly degraded in Le'anzhou, neither the Ministry of Industry nor the local government dared to be sloppy in the construction of the palace, after all, this lord was violent. This Hanwang Mansion occupies almost half of the county seat of Le'an Prefecture, with hundreds of houses in it, and the living water of the Xiaoqing River is introduced into the house after precipitation, which is Huaqing Pond. This blue water pool with the same name as the famous pool in the Lishan Palace of Emperor Tang Ming is Zhu Gaoxu's own title, which is full of ambition in his heart, and the rest of the pavilions and pavilions are countless.

Han King Zhu Gaoxu lives in Yaoguang Pavilion on weekdays, although this name is Pavilion, but it is actually similar to the palace in the palace. Zhu Zhantan was taken down from his shoulder, and immediately two little eunuchs came up to help each other left and right, and carried him inside without a point. When he entered the inner room, he saw his father sitting on the throne, and hurriedly shook off the two little eunuchs. Bow down respectfully.

Zhu Gaoxu is conceited and brave, although he can't be considered young now, he still eats a lot and is in good health, and ordinary horses can't carry him at all. Because of this, he looked down on his fat, cowardly and incompetent brother. Seeing that the eldest son was also so sick, his face was a little unsightly: "Why is your body still so useless!" ”

Seeing that the few guards on both sides were the guards on both sides, the commanders and the commanders of the guards in the Heavenly Policy, Zhu Zhantan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and reluctantly lifted his spirits and said, "Father forgives sins." As soon as the weather was cold, my asthma problem was committed. ”

"It's really bad luck to bring out such a problem in the mother's womb!" Zhu Gaoxu snorted dissatisfiedly, then waved his hand to signal Zhu Zhantan to get up and sit down, and immediately drove out all the maids and eunuchs who were waiting around, and then said, "King Zhao sent a letter yesterday, saying that my father is now very concerned about Shandong's affairs. The clan knows. Father and the emperor have always been staring at this with one eye, and he doesn't want to think about it, this world was fought down by this domain, and now he crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, he doesn't even care about the relationship between father and son! ”

Those generals can't get rid of the temper of martial artists. The second is that he was filled with personal kindness by Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, and at this time, he had to fight with righteous indignation. Zhu Zhantan, who was watching coldly, saw that Zhu Gaoxu was being teased, and couldn't help but persuade below: "Father, generals." There may be another reason why the emperor's grandfather cares about Shandong. According to my investigation, the Jinyi Guard detected that there were White Lotus Sect members secretly operating in Shandong, and perhaps those personnel changes were all ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he felt something slam in his face. At the last moment, he flashed to the left almost instinctively, and then he heard a thud, but he didn't know what hit the wall behind him. Looking at Zhu Gaoxu, who was glaring at him viciously, he really made him angry again. The full stomach could only swallow it back.

"What White Lotus Sect, that's clearly an excuse!" Zhu Gaoxu didn't seem to throw out the golden cup at all, and snorted coldly at this time, disdainful of those foolish and foolish things, "If it's for that little thing, my father will send his cronies around?" That Du Zhen didn't hum or ha, but he knew that he persuaded his father to let Liang Qian go, when Ben Fan was driven to a place where birds like Le'an don't. Why doesn't he know how to speak? Those civil officials are all the way. They are all clever words, and they should all be killed! ”

Zhu Zhantan originally wanted to advise that if you want to win the world, you might as well use the hearts of the people. Hearing Zhu Gaoxu say this, the other generals echoed one after another, and he only felt a smell of blood in his throat, and he barely suppressed it for a long time. Zhu Gaoxu then arranged a lot of affairs, and unsurprisingly, he couldn't intervene at all—and his younger brothers were all excluded.

It seems that since the time when Ji Gang was killed, Zhu Gaoxu has become more and more rigid and self-serving. Fortunately, although his father doesn't value him as a son in this world, outsiders don't think so, so he can still do a lot of things. Since he can't persuade his father to dispel his obsession with the throne, all he can do is help a little, at least, if he uses it well this time, things will be promising.

After a small court discussion in a noisy manner, he left the Yaoguang Pavilion. Seeing that the two little eunuchs came to support him on his shoulders, he thought for a moment and then shook his hand and said, "Go to Xuanji Courtyard to meet the princess." ”

The concubine of the Han King Zhu Gaoxu was Zheng, and he gave birth to the eldest son and the second son successively, namely the son Zhu Zhantan and the king of Shouguang Zhu Zhanqi. However, Zhu Gaoxu was violent by nature, and at that time he was expelled from Qingzhou Mansion in Shandong Province instead of taking the heir, and under a certain anger, the Zheng family could not dissuade him, but he stabbed the concubine to death with a sword, and the matter was also in a uproar at that time. Although Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was angry, he finally selected his step-concubine Wei Shi among the famous families. Although Wei is a stepmother, she is as old as her son Zhu Zhantan.

Xuanji Courtyard is the main house where Concubine Wei lives, and the five rooms are naturally magnificent, and the girls standing in the courtyard are all wearing silk jackets of lotus color, and they are covered with blue satin pinching their teeth and nails, and they all bow their heads and hang their hands. Seeing that the prince Zhu Zhantan was coming, all the girls curtsied and saluted, and the little girl who was waiting in front of the door immediately raised the curtain and reported inside.

Although it is said that the morning and dusk are fixed, Zhu Zhantan is not in good health, and on weekdays, he only brings his younger brothers and sisters to respond to the courtesy, and he rarely comes here alone on weekdays. Coupled with the fact that Concubine Wei is young, and she can't suppress the countless young and beautiful concubines in the Han Palace, this princess is just a false name on weekdays. Therefore, at this time, hearing the prince coming, although she was surprised, she still sat upright, Zhu Zhantan just bowed slightly, she smiled and waved her hand to ask her to sit down, but she thought about his intention in her heart.

Zhu Zhantan saw that although there were all girls in red and green in this room, there were no concubines who were showy, he understood in his heart, and suddenly coughed after a few words. Concubine Wei didn't quite understand, but an elderly mother next to her had an understanding, so she immediately ordered the girls to go out, leaving only another henchman mother like herself, and then asked in a more contemptuous manner: "His Royal Highness the Prince is here to say something to the princess?" ”

Glancing at the Longquan Kiln Lianzhu bottle placed on the begonia carved lacquer high table in the corner, Zhu Zhantan smiled slightly: "The furnishings in the princess's room are really extraordinary, and the pair of Longquan Kiln Lianzhu bottles are probably rewarded by the palace, right?" Forgive me for telling the truth, although my father said that there were countless concubines, his thoughts on women were far inferior to those in the great cause. ”

After all, Concubine Wei is only eighteen years old, even if everyone is beautiful, at most she has learned how to take care of the house, in the face of Zhu Gaoxu, a husband who is too noble and too cruel, she is afraid that it will be too late, where did she think about this? As for those fancy concubines, she hates them, but even if she hates them, she can only pretend to be a concubine who is not jealous. So although she felt that what Zhu Zhantan said was good, she didn't understand it very well.

At this time, it was the mother beside her who opened her mouth, and her tone was a little more polite than before: "Thank you for the reminder from His Royal Highness the Prince." The slave maid also told the truth, after the wedding, the King of Han came to the Xuanji Courtyard very rarely, which is really ......"

Zhu Zhantan waved his hand at this time, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "After all, the princess is the princess of the Han Dynasty canonized by the imperial court, if she competes for favor with those women who only know how to be charming, not only will the means be inferior, but also make people laugh." Since the father pays attention to the great cause, why doesn't the princess do what he likes? The princess might as well go outside when she is free, I heard ......"

After listening to Zhu Zhantan's words, Concubine Wei didn't feel anything, but her two mothers on the left and right had bright eyes, and they were grateful to this son for a while. When Zhu Zhantan said goodbye and left, the two immediately persuaded countless words in front of Concubine Wei, and finally made the princess, who had never stepped out of the house since she was a child, nod.
