The weather is dry and the last traces of spring are burned away by the scorching sun without a trace.
Zhu Gaojie was working in the Wenhua Hall of the Shuntian Palace. The palace in Peiping was built on the basis of the Nanjing Palace, and remained largely unchanged. There were more than 70 large and small palaces and more than 9,000 houses.
Suncheon Palace has four gates, Meridian Gate to the south, Shenmu Gate to the north, Donghua Gate to the east, and Sehwamun to the west. Each of the four corners of the city wall has a rather steep turret with nine beams, eighteen columns and seventy-two ridges.
The Nanjing officials were quite adaptable after arriving in Shuntian Mansion. They each ran their own errands and had a clear division of labor. Even if they felt a little uncomfortable, Zhu Gaojie would soon issue an order to amend the order from the Wenhua Palace.
Lao Zhu in the world in his mind kept urging him to meet Zhu Di, but Zhu Gaojie kept making excuses to refuse.
With Lao Zhu's current mood, Zhu Gaojie was afraid that he would eat the old man alive when they met.
…
"Hey, that's weird, that's weird."
Zhu Di drank a small glass of wine at the dining table and said with some confusion, "The prince, this glutton, has not come to my Qianqing Palace to enjoy the autumn breeze for a long time. This is not like his style. Logically speaking, at every meal, this guy He will find various reasons to come to my place to have a meal, what has he been busy with recently?"
Tang Cheng said respectfully from the side: "The relocation of the country's capital is of great importance. It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is too busy with official duties to be distracted."
"No, I know him better than you do."
Zhu Di said with a smile, "This little bastard is a bandit, and he dares to act unscrupulously in front of me. But I just like him. Compared with others, since I came to the throne, everyone is afraid of me. In front of me, he is submissive and has evil intentions, but it is the prince's straightforwardness that makes me feel more cordial."
Now Zhu Di is close to Zhu Gaojie, not just for the intimacy value of the simulator. He enjoys the time with the prince, which makes him feel the warmth of family affection that he has not seen for a long time.
Tang Cheng asked: "Your Majesty wants your servant to call the Crown Prince to come and see you?"
Zhu Di nodded slightly: "Go ahead and call this little bastard over. I want to see what he has been up to recently."
…
"What, my dad asked me to go there?"
Zhu Gaojie's face turned bitter, "Uncle Tang, please help me. Just find any excuse to refuse. Just say that I'm sick and bedridden, or that Wenhua Palace is busy with official duties and I can't get out. In short, I haven't been able to leave recently." Meet the old man."
"When the emperor summons me, there is no reason to refuse. Do you want me to help you deceive the emperor?"
Tang Cheng shook his head and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong with you? His Majesty summoned you not to cause trouble for you, so why are you so reluctant?"
Zhu Gaojie smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to talk about this. It's hard to explain in one sentence."
Tang Cheng thought for a while and said, "If you give me a suitable reason, I can help you cover up something."
If it were anyone else who asked Tang Cheng to help him conquer Zhu Di, he would refuse even to the death.
But if it’s Zhu Gaojie… that’s not a bad idea.
Tang Cheng has a bottom line in his heart, and this bottom line is loyalty to Zhu Di.
But in front of Zhu Gaojie, who he had seen since childhood, Tang Cheng really liked this kid, and the bottom line in his heart was not impossible to move.
Zhu Gaojie asked tentatively: "You just said that the stars are not suitable for the two dragons to meet recently. How about this excuse?"
Tang Cheng was silent for a while: "Do you think it's me or His Majesty who is stupid?"
Who the hell are you trying to fool with such a perfunctory excuse?
If I dare to go back and report to His Majesty like this, Your Majesty will have to twist off my old eunuch’s head!
In the world in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little excited: "Grandson, stop working, hurry up, lend us your body, we want to have a good chat with the fourth child!"
Zhu Gaojie's hair stood on end and he asked in his mind: "Grandpa, do you want to have a good chat with my dad, or do you want to kill my dad?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said righteously: "Grandson, who do you think your grandfather and I are? Our old Zhu Yinuo's reputation as a daughter of a daughter is very resounding!"
How could Zhu Gaojie believe that? He was still looking for various reasons to refuse: "Grandpa, if we have something to do, we can talk about it later. There is still a large number of memorials waiting for me to deal with in the Wenhua Palace. See you later!"
"Asshole! Do you think we are blind? You have Yang Rong and Xia Yuanji to assist you. Even if you are a hands-off shopkeeper, it is not a bad idea. The Wenhua Palace is busy with state affairs? Who are you fooling! Good boy, for a moment, even your grandfather Dare to play!"
Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Zhu Gaojie said seriously: "Grandpa, you have to be considerate of your grandson. You are now as vicious and evil as if you are possessed by King Yama. Who else doesn't know what you are thinking now? You want to use my body to go... If I meet my father, can I win?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a bewitching voice: "My dear grandson, you must also be considerate of my grandfather's mood. As a father, I just want to meet my own son and have a good chat with your father. You must satisfy me. An old man’s wish.”
Outside the world in his mind, Tang Cheng was still urging: "Give me a confirmation quickly, don't keep His Majesty waiting."
Zhu Gaojie was helpless: "Okay, I don't care, I love you as much as you want."
Lao Zhu is urging me, and so is the old man.
He couldn't stand it anymore. Since the old man liked to seek death, he would fulfill the wishes of the two old people!
In the blink of an eye, Tang Cheng suddenly felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. It was clearly summer, but it was like the ruthlessness of the twelfth lunar month in winter, and the chilling air that hit his face rolled in like a tidal wave. , chilling.
Zhu Gaojie seemed to be a different person, his expression suddenly turned cold, and his aura was so majestic that it made people tremble, giving people a sense of majestic pressure that would make people kneel down uncontrollably when they saw him.
"lead the way."
He said in a cold voice.
I am a commoner in Huaiyou, what more can the world do to me?
There is no one in the world, even an inch of land, and the breath of the people responds to it, so there is a world, which is not recorded in the official records, how prosperous it is!
…
At this time, it was time for His Majesty the Emperor to enjoy afternoon tea.
Zhu Di enjoyed the snacks and tea leisurely. The elegant and light fragrance made him feel peaceful and calm, making him feel like a calm lake with no waves.
In an instant, the calm lake seemed to have a strong wind, causing rolling waves. Dark clouds covered the sky and blocked the sun. Dark rainstorms arrived unannounced. The water crashed against the shore and the wind and waves were turbulent!
Zhu Di frowned slightly. The misunderstanding came from nowhere and gave him an ominous premonition.
He looked sideways and saw a person standing in front of the door. He had handsome features and elegant features. His waterfall-like black hair was tied up by a hosta. He was wearing a dragon robe and black boots. Every aspect of his body exuded a majestic aura, and the surging murderous intent filled every corner. Even the potted green plants had their leaves shivering, fearful of this man.
The first time Zhu Di saw this person, he felt strange yet familiar.
Obviously this person is his crown prince Zhu Gaojie, but he doesn't look like Zhu Gaojie.
The aura on the other party's body made his memory a little confused, and his thoughts went back to many years ago. At that time, he was still the King of Yan and was quite reserved in front of his father.
"Zhu Gaojie" said with a sinking face: "Long time no see."
Zhu Di came back to his senses and frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you? Why do you talk so weirdly?"
The old man is very unhappy now because he has an inexplicable illusion that he is afraid of the person in front of him.
How could I be afraid of my own son?
joke!
illusion! It must be an illusion!
Zhu Di shrank his neck and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
How could I be afraid? It must be the hot weather that makes me sweat uncontrollably!
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "In the Battle of Jingnan, you launched an army to rebel, and after four years, you finally won the world. You are very majestic."
It was clearly a very calm tone, but it seemed to arouse the fury of the thunder in the sky, and the god roared to bring disaster to the people, making people feel despair and death.
Zhu Di quietly pulled down his sleeves to cover his trembling hands, trying his best to keep his calm tone: "Why are you bringing this up? I don't like to recall this past event."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly shouted: "If you don't like it, why did you do it in the first place? How can you sleep peacefully with blood on your hands?"
This sudden loud shout almost scared Zhu Di out of his wits. He scratched his neck and said angrily: "What kind of hysteria did you commit today? You are still so rebellious in front of me. Get out of here quickly...cough, get out of here quickly!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry and laughed back: "What a courage. You dare to talk to me like this now. It's amazing. Fourth child, have you grown up?"
Zhu Di was panicked. He always felt that there was something strange about the man in front of him, which made him tremble all over. He shouted loudly: "Come here! Come here! The prince is sick, take him down quickly and let him go back to the East Palace." Reflect on yourself!"
Following Zhu Di's order, the doors of the palace were opened, and the guards wearing armor and holding swords rushed in aggressively, surrounding "Zhu Gaojie", as if they dared to kill him on the spot as long as the emperor gave an order. Kill the crown prince on the spot!
Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily, with murderous intent rolling over him: "Who let you in, get out!"
The sound was like five thunders, and its majestic momentum made people almost crawl to the ground. The guards in the palace were trembling and looked at each other, a little at a loss.
Seeing that all the guards were afraid and did not dare to move, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Di, his tiger-like gaze making His Majesty the Emperor swallow his saliva.
Zhu Di hesitated for a moment: "Ahem, there was some conflict in our father-son conversation. It's not important. You can step aside for now."
He was also wondering, he was a person who climbed out of a mountain of corpses and had no fear of ghosts and ghosts, so why was he so afraid of the person in front of him today.
On the other party's body, he smelled a strong familiar scent, as if...
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
The guards were so relieved that they didn't dare to take a breath and hurriedly exited the hall.
Mother!
This is too scary!
Those who don’t know better think that Prince Zhu Gaojie is his biological father and His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Di is his son!
After everyone left, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the main hall and saw a sword hanging on a shelf nearby. This sword had followed Zhu Di for many years, killing countless enemies on horseback, and never left his body.
Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward, picked up the sword and threw it out of the scabbard. Holding the three-foot blade, he gradually walked towards Zhu Di. There was a thin layer of blood-colored mist in his eyes, with murderous intent!
Zhu Di was so frightened that he almost peed. He looked at "Zhu Gaojie" coming with a knife. He was so frightened that he backed away and yelled: "You, you, you, you, what do you want to do!"
"Don't come over here!"
"If we have something to say, let's talk it over. Put down the knife!"
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
Seeing "Zhu Gaojie" getting closer and closer, Zhu Di's mind went blank and he shouted uncontrollably: "Dad!"
"I was wrong!"
He finally figured out why he was so afraid of the person in front of him.
Now Zhu Gaojie looks like the person Zhu Di is most afraid of:
——Emperor Gao, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang.
