Yingtian, Forbidden City.
The day's plan begins in the morning. After going to court, Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the back garden and had breakfast.
Since the reform of the palace recipes, the meals in the palace have been greatly improved, and they are no longer as greasy as before.
It's just that although this breakfast meal is exquisite in style, the taste is actually a bit bland. The food is often said to be full of color, flavor and flavor, but this breakfast meal only accounts for two things.
It's colorful and fragrant, but the taste is really different.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was not a picky person, and some taste problems did not affect his enjoyment.
Xu Miaoyun frowned after eating and said, "Dad, I really can't compliment the skills of your cooks."
"We cooks have changed a few times. They are all the children of those old cooks. It is understandable that our skills are not good enough."
Zhu Yuanzhang finished a piece of pastry in several mouthfuls, and then poured a bowl of porridge. Looking at Zhu Gaochi who was eating gracefully, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Gao Chi seems to be very unaccustomed to eating these, and his face is almost wrinkled."
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson really can't get used to eating this. Can you give me a pig's knuckle to chew on?"
Xu Miaoyun raised her eyebrows, reached out and grabbed Zhu Gaochi's ears, and said: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, and you don't even look at how fat you are. Without your grandpa, you still have to be helped when you walk."
"Oh, it hurts, it hurts..."
Seeing Zhu Gaochi's aggrieved look, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter and said, "When you have thoroughly practiced what we are teaching you, then you will be able to chew on your elbows without any problem."
"Grandpa Huang, we have agreed that when the time comes when my mother grabs my grandson's ears, you will have to help him."
"Okay, let's help you."
Xu Miaoyun knocked Zhu Gaochi, a little helpless, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Dad, just pet him."
"By the way, counting the time, the fourth child should have arrived in Shaanxi."
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his chopsticks and sent Zhu Di out for two days. In total, he had at least entered Shaanxi.
Speaking of this, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but said: "Dad, you are really relieved that His Highness is going to Shaanxi this time. Without your pressure, His Highness might have run away again, and I might give you a big surprise then." ."
Recalling what Zhu Di did in Peiping, Xu Miaoyun felt that something was not right. At that time, Zhu Di was not the prince, so no one would criticize him for being more cheerful. After all, the two people above him attracted most of the firepower. In comparison, Zhu Di seemed Kind and kind.
But now that Zhu Di is the prince, his every move attracts the attention of the courtiers. It can be said that he attracts the attention of the whole world, so he can't escape like before.
Therefore, when Zhu Di set off, Xu Miaoyun was worried. Fortunately, Monk Daoyan followed, so she was quite confident.
"We have our own considerations in letting the fourth child go out this time, Gao Chi, please tell us."
Zhu Gaochi swallowed the bun in his hand, wiped his mouth, thought for a moment, and said: "My grandson feels that this time the emperor asked his father to go to Shaanxi. In addition to investigating the cause of his second uncle's death, he also wanted his father to appease the people of Shaanxi. Regain the hearts and minds of the people.”
He had thought about this issue before, and after a few days of thinking, he finally understood Grandpa Huang's thoughts.
It is not a secret that King Qin Zhu Ping mismanaged Xi'an. Before, Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao visited Shaanxi. In addition to checking whether Xi'an could be used as the capital, he also had another purpose, which was to see how King Qin performed in Xi'an. , to give the people reassurance and mean that the court is still paying attention to this matter.
A clear attitude will naturally give the people some hope, which will be of great help to regaining people's hearts in the future.
However, Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao passed away suddenly, and all arrangements were put on hold for the time being. After finally getting through this, King Zhu Ping of Qin was gone again.
When the house leaks, it rains continuously all night. It is really not as good as God.
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with Fatty Sun's idea and said, "Yes, Gao Chi has already guessed one of the layers."
Just one layer? Zhu Gaochi was hesitant and racked his brains. He didn't know there were other levels, so he asked, "How many levels are there if you want Grandpa Huang to teach your grandson?"
Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of hiding anything from Zhu Gaochi. He also hoped that this boy would give him more useful suggestions, so he made his plans known.
"Gao Chi, you also understand that this time we make the fourth son the prince, naturally many people in the government and the public will be dissatisfied."
Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Gaochi both nodded. They naturally knew this, that is, if Zhu Yuanzhang dared to do this, if he were the emperor a few generations later, he would really be sprayed to death by his officials.
"The ministers are dissatisfied, but they don't dare to say anything in rebuttal. We are not worried about what kind of trouble these guys might cause. If they don't obey, we will kill them. We have no shortage of people under our command.
But our sons, such as the second and third sons, are not easy to deal with. This time, the second son died suddenly. We were also surprised, but we just took this opportunity to let the fourth son deal with this matter so that we can give it a beating. The third child.
Gao Chi, we asked your father to handle this matter just to consolidate his position and make your third uncle completely give up on this idea. "
Zhu Gaochi was shocked. How could he dare to think about this? Naturally, he didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang still had such thoughts.
He is not a stupid person. After thinking carefully about what Grandpa Huang said, he knew the beauty of what Grandpa Huang did.
Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao had already visited Shaanxi once before, and now his father went there again. The significance was very obvious.
It can not only take the opportunity to deal with the many problems that exist in Shaanxi, but also tell the world, especially those uncles and uncles, that Prince Zhu Di is very favored by us, so all your little thoughts can go away.
With such thoughts, Zhu Gaochi felt that even if he had two heads, he would never think of it. The depth of Grandpa Huang's thoughts is really difficult to fathom. It's no wonder that Zhan Hui and the others were as trembling as a mouse when meeting Grandpa Huang.
Before his thoughts were finished, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Actually, we have some selfish motives for doing this. Since the fourth child was made the prince by us, we feel that he has been too depressed and cautious every day. We are really upset. We also know in our hearts that he is worried that we will take away his crown prince position, but we are people who stick to our word. If we say he is the prince, then he is the prince, and no one can change it!"
"This time I let him go out to inspect Shaanxi. Of course, I want to beat others, but also to beat him and let him know that we are not so stingy. He is our son. What does it mean to be so timid in doing things? We want him to understand. , we are his strongest backing!"
Zhu Gaochi was deeply moved when he heard this. Grandpa Huang wholeheartedly wanted to pave the way for his father.
Not only did it give him the opportunity to show his prestige, but he also took care of his father's thoughts. It was really rare to be able to do this.
Recalling the teachings that Grandpa Huang had given him, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but wonder, was there such painstaking effort hidden behind those seemingly ordinary methods?
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, but now was not the time to think about it. After calming down a little, he said: "Grandpa Huang has worked hard, and my grandson thinks that his father will definitely understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and touched Zhu Gaochi's head with a deep look.
The crowd he had seen was gone, and he could not see through Zhu Di's thoughts. Letting him out this time was also to make future plans smoother.
There was another reason that he didn't say clearly, and that was his main idea.
