When Zhu Di saw Zhu Xuan, his expression seemed unnatural.
The relationship between their uncle and nephew was basically on the same level, but this tit-for-tat idea had already begun to reverse when Zhu Di was demoted to a commoner. Zhu Di could no longer rise to the top, but he was just cursing and unhappy with Zhu Xuan.
That's all he can do.
"Little Yunxuan's arrival surprised us all."
Zhu Di laughed. He didn't care whether it was Lao Zhu who asked Zhu Xuan to come, but he could tell that their gathering today would be watched by Lao Zhu.
None of them dared to do anything unfriendly to Zhu Xuan.
Although this little nephew is not yet the emperor's grandson, his status is almost the same as that of the emperor's grandson.
"I just come and walk around casually, sit for a while and then go back. Fourth uncle is polite."
Zhu Xuan was not polite at all in Zhu Song's manor, he picked up the fruits around him and ate them.
Zhu Di had no choice but to sit next to Zhu Xuan and awkwardly talk to Zhu Xuan.
Zhu Gaosui, who had followed Zhu Di, didn't want to face Zhu Xuan, so he just sat aside.
Not long after they waited in the manor, other imperial uncles and cousins came one after another. When they saw Zhu Xuan here, the faces of the vassal princes were slightly unnatural.
Because what Zhu Xuan represents is Lao Zhu.
With the addition of Lao Zhu's representative, they may not be able to let go. They feel like they are being watched. They have to be careful about what they say, and they don't have much fun.
But when Zhu Xuan came, they couldn't drive him away.
"Xiao Yunxuan, why are you here?"
It was Zhu Quan who asked first.
Zhu Xuan said: "Grandpa Huang asked me to come here. He said he wanted to establish a good relationship with the emperor's uncle and cousins. I think what Grandpa Huang said is right. Come and take a look. You don't want to drive me away?" ?”
Zhu Su shook his head and said, "How is that possible? Xiao Yunxuan can come whenever he wants. It doesn't matter."
Those dining friends who used to be in Dabentang are still very enthusiastic about Zhu Xuan, but like Zhu Xuan and others, they only have awe of Zhu Xuan. They are afraid of Zhu Xuan's firearms.
Without those terrifyingly powerful firearms, it is unknown what they would have thought.
The prerequisite for respect is to have a strong fist. Zhu Xuan deeply understood the meaning of this sentence. Now his fist is very hard. There is no one tougher than himself among the emperor's uncles present.
"It's been a long time since we sat down to eat with little Yunxuan." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.
"On the day I just came back, wasn't little Yunxuan present at my father's banquet?"
Zhu Bai smiled slightly and added: "Today is our royal party. Of course we come together. If we had known, we would have brought Yunxi here too."
"Okay, everyone, sit down!"
Zhu Zhu shouted and told them not to discuss anything else.
Zhu Xuan's imperial uncle and cousins sat down one after another.
Zhu Mo came to Zhu Xuan, looked at the brothers, and said helplessly: "Xiao Yunxuan, I can see that among your imperial uncles, there are still many people who are not convinced by you. They may be afraid of your firearms, but they are not Respect."
Zhu Xuan had already seen it and said calmly: "As long as Uncle Twenty and Uncle Twenty-one support me, as for the other uncles, I hope they will rebel and compete with me for the throne."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Mo was covered in cold sweat.
The nephew really dared to say these words. If it had been anyone else, he would have been beaten to death by Zhu Yuanzhang, so Zhu Xuan could be so unscrupulous.
"Be careful!"
Zhu Mo could tell that if those imperial uncles dared to rebel, Zhu Xuan would be able to occupy the rightful place and cut down the feudal vassal openly, hoping that they would rebel.
He suddenly discovered that being a feudal king was dangerous.
But thinking about his relationship with Zhu Xuan, Zhu Mo put all his worries behind him. If he wanted to live a good life in the future, it was actually very simple, just hug Zhu Xuan's thigh.
Supporting Zhu Xuan's rise to power is the best thing to do.
Zhu Xuan said: "Uncle Twenty-one, it's okay!"
He finished speaking calmly and continued to sit in his seat and eat fruit.
By noon, when everyone had arrived, Zhu Song had people bring out the food and wine.
While eating and drinking, Zhu Xuan paid attention to the situation around him and found that among the emperor's uncles, there were also factions. They sat in small groups, and the King of Sai and the non-King of Sai could hardly sit together.
Those who were born to the same mother and concubine, or had a relatively good relationship, also sat together.
As for those cousins whose father died early and the prince succeeded to the throne, they are one generation behind and can't seem to fit into the circle of the emperor's uncles. There are also cousins like Zhu Gaosui who were brought by the emperor's uncles and they get together to play. Noisy.
Today's gathering of the emperor's uncles seemed a bit united. Most of the time, it seemed like they were still having fun in their own circles.
For example, Zhu Song and Zhu Mo sat decisively next to Zhu Xuan.
Since Zhu Xuan is watching here, and there may be Jin Yiwei here, the emperor's uncles don't dare to divide the circles too clearly. Occasionally, someone walks around in different circles to toast.
Zhu Di's prestige among the princes is undoubtedly the highest.
Although some people didn't like him very much and became a commoner, his prestige was indeed there and he was kind to his younger brothers. Many of the emperor's uncles gave him face. When they saw Zhu Di, who was demoted as a commoner, toasting everywhere, they gave him face. Have a drink and say a few polite words to each other.
"interesting!"
Zhu Xuan saw that the imperial uncles were all different, and once again lamented that the relationship within the royal family was really complicated.
There are really many things involved in it, and it cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
"Little Yunxuan."
Zhu Mo said: "The Tian family is the most troubled. In the future, you will take over the position of father. We, the emperor's uncles, are enough to give you a headache. As you said, it's okay if they dare to rebel. If they don't rebel, you can't." Did you push them back?"
Zhu Song asked curiously: "What will Xiao Yunxuan do with us in the future?"
"I have not decided yet."
Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "But don't worry, uncles, no matter what I do, it won't be your turn?"
Hearing this, they smiled knowingly.
This is the benefit of having a good thigh hug. With Zhu Xuan's promise, the rest is no longer important.
"But in the future, I will really have a headache."
Zhu Xuan spread his hands helplessly and said, "Let's talk about the future in the future. I can't let you down today."
"makes sense."
Zhu Song thought about it and said, "Xiao Yunxuan, why don't you go down and toast them a drink?"
Among the many people present, Zhu Xuan had the lowest seniority, but the highest status.
"That makes sense."
Zhu Xuan thought for a while, picked up a wine bottle and wine glass, and walked towards Zhu Di first.
"It's better, little Yunxuan."
Zhu Song looked at Zhu Xuan's back and said.
Zhu Mo smiled and said: "If it were Zhu Yunwen, I think there might be more people who oppose it, but now Zhu Yunwen will never have a chance again."
At this time, none of them knew where Zhu Yunwen was hiding.
"Fourth uncle!"
Zhu Xuan came to Zhu Di and said first.
At Zhu Di's table, he was surrounded by Zhu Xi and others, the older princes. They considered themselves more mature and did not bother to sit with the younger princes.
