The weird thing is,
Xu Da's sons were excellent at fighting, just like the eldest son Xu Huizu, who showed amazing military talent at a young age.
However, being able to fight does not mean that you can stand firm in court.
The prosperity of the Xu family depends on Xu Da and the eldest daughter Xu Miaoyun.
Now it seems that whether the Xu family can continue to prosper in the future depends on the addition of Xu Miaojin.
Xu Dazhen did not spoil his daughter in vain.
The daughter of the Xu family is far better than the son of the Xu family in terms of vision and thinking.
Xu Da took Xu Miaojin's hand and patted it heavily, his eyes full of sustenance.
"Miaojin, your eldest sister is involved, and so is our family."
Xu Miaojin's voice stopped shaking, and her eyes were full of determination.
"So my daughter said that standing by His Highness's side is the only way to survive."
Xu Miaojin has been studying since she was a child, and coupled with the training she received from the Capital University, she has been greatly upgraded from the inside out.
One glance reveals the essence.
Xu Da turned to look at his eldest son again. There was clear stupidity in Xu Huizu's eyes.
Chunchun is a sunny and cheerful boy,
"Don't understand yet?"
Xu Huizu shook his head,
"not understand."
Xu Da sighed and explained,
"Son, you were right before, don't get involved in royal matters.
However, as soon as the news reached our house, it became the Xu family's business.
Who do you think His Majesty is telling the news to when he spreads it throughout the capital?
This is just for our family!
Princess Yan is my daughter, and Gao Sui is my grandson. Can our Xu family get away with this?
Your Majesty, what you want is our family’s attitude!
If you remain silent, you will be doomed! "
Xu Huizu's vision went dark. He couldn't imagine that there were so many circles.
Xu Da continued,
"According to your Majesty's temperament, if it were normal times, it would be nothing more than taking Gao Sui to Beijing for a small punishment or a big punishment.
And now is the eve of His Highness's ascension to the throne. Gao Sui's words may implicate the entire Prince Yan's Mansion and our family! "
Xu Huizu's face darkened, and when he heard Zhu Gaosui's name, his fists hardened.
If he hadn't been so eloquent, how could he have done so much? !
Xu Da's heart was a little confused. Things had been going so smoothly recently, and the Xu family in Beijing was managed perfectly by him. There was no way anything would happen.
But Xu Da never expected that nothing happened to the Xu family in Beijing, and that Yan Di's grandson began to live in peace.
Xu Da got up and went to get the court clothes.
Xu Huizu was surprised,
"Dad, are you coming into the palace so late? Your Majesty, please go to bed!"
Xu Da shook his head,
"How can your Majesty sleep? Your Majesty is waiting for me.
Even if His Majesty sleeps, I still have to wait in the palace all night!
This is the attitude! "
Beijing was too complicated and there were too many routines. Xu Huizu wanted to go back to Jiangnan.
Xu Huizu is sunny, cheerful and righteous, but he can't do it in the capital!
Xu Miaojin's eyes flashed,
Stop Xu Da,
"Dad, it's not enough for you to go. Please take me and my eldest brother with you."
Xu Huizu is the eldest son, and Xu Miaojin is the intended imperial concubine. Xu Da can better express his attitude by bringing his children with him.
Xu Dal didn't even hesitate.
He patted his daughter's hand and said,
"Go and put on the dress His Highness gave you. Son, you put on the military uniform of the Governor's Mansion, and we will enter the palace together."
"well!"
Xu Huizu and Xu Miaojin hurriedly took action, and the three of them changed all their clothes without taking half a stick of incense.
It's past midnight at night,
But the three of them still went to the palace.
.............
Xianning Palace
The light was dimly bright, and as Xu Da said, Zhu Yuanzhang was not asleep at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked,
"Sister, do you think Tiande can come?"
Queen Ma looked a little tired,
"I'm sure I'll come, but it wouldn't be smart to come back tomorrow morning."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and was silent for a while.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu, please meet us outside the inner palace."
The shadow guard's voice came from the door of Xianning Palace,
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, and when Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, he saw clearly that Lao Zhu had not even changed out of his imperial robe.
This is the last test for the Xu family, and it is also the most difficult one.
The people who asked the question were Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma.
As long as Xu Da answered this question before Zhu Xiongying came to power, no need to think too much, the Xu family must be the auxiliary ministers of the new dynasty.
The rewards are great, but the risks are greater.
This question is too difficult to answer.
"Bring them to the East Palace."
Queen Ma stayed in Xianning Palace, while Zhu Yuanzhang went to the East Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not choose Fengtian Palace, but the East Palace of the State Crown Prince. Even the place was chosen so carefully.
When Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at the East Palace, Xu Da, his son and daughter, were already kneeling in front of the East Palace.
It's already winter now, and it's midnight again. The temperature is very low, making Xu Da and the others shivering from the cold.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xu Huizu and Xu Miaojin in surprise, and then a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
"Tiande! It's so cold and you let your children kneel outside?
Come to the palace quickly! "
"Wei ministers (civilian women) are here to see your majesty!"
After saluting, Xu Da and the other three respectfully followed His Majesty into the East Palace.
There was a warmth in the East Palace. Xu Da looked at the burning stove in the center of the East Palace, and his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat.
I was extremely scared.
Lord Hongwu cherishes things and cannot let the furnace in the East Palace burn in vain all night.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the wooden chair tenderly. This was where the eldest son and grandson sat. Zhu Yuanzhang did not sit on it.
He pulled the wooden chair next to him with his backhand and sat down with a golden sword.
"Tiande, what are you doing so late? We are all going to bed!"
Xu Da went straight to the topic and kowtowed,
"Wei Chen, please kill Zhu Gaosui!"
"Oh? What's the fuss about?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes flashed with coldness.
It's okay for Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with Zhu Gaosui, but Xu Da can't say this.
It seems to be a statement of attitude, but in fact it is a bad move!
From Zhu Yuanzhang’s perspective,
Zhu Gaosui is Xu Da's biological grandson. Even if Zhu Gaosui made a big mistake, as a grandfather, you should not abandon Zhu Gaosui so heartlessly.
To put it simply,
You, Xu Dal, have given up on your family members, so how do you expect us to believe that you can be loyal to your eldest grandson?
Xu Huizu and Xu Miaojin fought head-to-head for the ground, without saying a word or moving a muscle the whole time.
Xu Da replied,
"Your Majesty, Zhu Gaosui deserves death for contradicting His Highness.
As soon as Wei Chen knew about this, he could only enter the palace in the middle of the night and disturb His Majesty's rest. Wei Chen deserved death. "
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said nothing. Instead, he looked at Xu Miaojin and said,
"Miaojin, get up and come stand next to us."
"Yes, Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said,
"Hahahaha, come on."
Xu Miaojin stood up and walked to stand next to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately pulled Xu Miaojin to the side near the stove.
Although the stove was warm, it did not dispel the chill in Xu Miaojin's body.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at Xu Da and his son,
Silent for a long time,
For a moment, the East Palace was quiet.
The only sound left was the crackling of wood burning in the stove.
