Xie Jin, Xu Huizu, and Ru Yu climbed up and looked into the distance. Looking at the capital at the beginning of the lanterns, a sense of pride arose spontaneously.
Ru Yun smiled at the sky, stepped forward and shouted: "Reappearing the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, without our names, wouldn't it be a little less colorful? If you live for a hundred years, you should make contributions that will make you immortal!"
Xu Huizu was majestic, his eyes were blazing, and he said in a deep voice: "I will serve you with passion for the beauty of the mountains and rivers!"
Xie Jin looked at the passionate Ru Yu and Xu Huizu and couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Today's emperor is wise, benevolent, and ambitious. He not only has clever plans to secure the feudal king, but also has new laws to improve people's livelihood. He is also good at listening to what others say, accepting what is reasonable and rejecting what is unreasonable.
The Lord of Enlightenment is the foundation of a prosperous age!
This is the best era since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. There are no bloody massacres or life-and-death wars. The world is stable and the people's hearts are in compliance. This is the time for civil servants and generals to display their talents and make contributions!
Civil servants pursue the glorious era they long for, demonstrate their ambition to serve the country, and leave their names in history.
The generals will build the iron army of the Ming Dynasty, strengthen their troops and horses, seal the wolf as a vassal, and open up our territory of the Ming Dynasty!
Xie Jin clenched his fist vigorously, looked at the lights in the distance, and said proudly: "I want to borrow 30,000 dendrobium from the breeze and stars, and follow the sky to the sky. I will not be afraid of the cold wind, smoke and clouds, and leave my name in Qingshi Qianqiu Tomb."
At this moment, the rustling wind came, and the three of them had a heart-to-heart talk and sang far away.
In Kunning Palace, the family banquet is in full swing.
Zhu Di punished himself with three drinks, took a sip of wine, felt the hot wine in his body, and couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty, this wine is extraordinary!"
Zhu Yunwen laughed, motioned to Ma Enhui to pour the wine, and said: "Fourth uncle likes wine. I will send some to Prince Yan's Mansion tomorrow. But fourth uncle must be careful."
"Oh? Why be careful?"
Zhu Di asked doubtfully.
Ma Enhui, who was holding a wine flask at the side, laughed out loud and said: "Uncle Yan, this wine is very strong. It is very pleasant when you drink it, but you will have a splitting headache the next day. The emperor suffered a lot last time. He drank it for half a day. It just got better.”
Xu Yihua stood up and wanted to take the wine bottle from Ma Enhui's hand, but Ma Enhui declined with a smile.
Ma Enhui personally filled Zhu Di with wine, and Zhu Di thanked him quickly.
Both Zhu Di and Xu Yihua felt that today's family banquet was special. There was no maid or eunuch to serve such a family banquet. Only Ma Enhui was personally organizing the dinner. Even when the dishes from Shang Shanjian were delivered, it was Ma Enhui who went to the door to pick them up in person.
Here, there are no outsiders.
Zhu Di picked up the wine glass and said with some emotion: "Your Majesty, I am guilty and should be punished with another drink..."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Di who was drinking one cup after another, and couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that the fourth uncle is taking advantage of the excuse to take advantage of the cup, right?"
After saying this, Ma Enhui and Xu Yihua laughed immediately.
Ma Enhui took the opportunity to introduce: "Don't just worry about drinking, Uncle Yan, Princess Xu, this dish was cooked by the emperor himself in the Shangshan Supervisor, so you must try it."
"What?"
Zhu Di and Xu Yihua looked at each other in surprise.
The emperor cooks and the queen adds wine. Such honor and grace can be said to be the best in the Ming Dynasty.
"I am so ashamed of myself!"
Zhu Di was ashamed.
Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly, and after taking a bite of the food, he said: "Actually, I understand that if my father is still alive, my fourth uncle will be a vassal king with peace of mind. But my father... Well, Taizu passed down the throne to me from generation to generation, and my fourth uncle was in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although he is prosperous and accomplished, I can understand why he feels unwilling to do so."
When Zhu Di heard this, he broke into a cold sweat.
Seeing that Zhu Di was uneasy, Zhu Yunwen said with a smile: "Fourth uncle, there is no one else here. We are talking openly. We are not pursuing crimes, but just speaking from our hearts. Since I succeeded to the throne, although I have the country in hand, I have trouble sleeping day and night." "
"A few uncles hold heavy troops and are stationed at the border. If they have the slightest dissent, they can travel thousands of miles south to drive me out of power. After all, I am not the Taizu. I am good at military affairs and have great talents. Once my uncles lead their troops south, I will abdicate. It’s small, Ming Dynasty is in a melee, it’s big when it falls apart.”
"Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng saw the shortcomings and wrote repeatedly, urging me to take action to reduce the vassal vassal as early as possible. To be honest with my fourth uncle, I have thought about reducing the vassal vassal. Haha, the most difficult thing to do to reduce the vassal vassal is my fourth uncle. .”
Zhu Di, Xu Yihua, and Ma Enhui listened quietly to Zhu Yunwen's words. Zhu Di's heart was stirred up from time to time.
Zhu Yunwen took a sip of wine and continued: "I have thought it through after I fell in Xiaoling. It seems feasible to reduce the vassal, but it is a bad idea for the family and the country! As far as the family is concerned, the fourth uncle is the The leader of all the kings, Taizu holds great esteem and has a distinguished status. As far as the country is concerned, the fourth uncle is also the commander-in-chief of the north. He fights for the country, and his contribution lies in the country!"
"How could you do something that would destroy your family and the country and lose the support of the people because of my worries? So, I am determined that even if my fourth uncle has different intentions, I will bring him back! I can endure it for the Ming Dynasty, how can it be that my fourth uncle Can’t you tolerate me for the sake of the great Ming Dynasty?!”
Zhu Di was choked up after hearing this.
The emperor is so generous, but as a subordinate, I have repeatedly disobeyed him.
Even though Zhu Yunwen knocked repeatedly, he was still running wildly in the darkness.
Zhu Yunwen raised his glass, drank it down in one gulp, and said: "Later, there was a 'situation' game between me and my fourth uncle. Whether it was to transfer the fourth uncle back to the capital, to layout in Peiping, or to win over Yao Guangxiao, the new army The strategy of entering Peiping is just my 'power'. I hope that my fourth uncle can see the situation clearly, wake up and know how to return from the lost path."
"I have deduced all the possible choices of Fourth Uncle, and even deduced the worst possibility with Prince Ning. Haha, I never thought that Fourth Uncle would finally follow the worst possibility, step by step. I know that Fourth Uncle is crazy. The move is just a stop-gap measure to buy time, in other words, Fourth Uncle is ready to unsheath his sword."
"At this point, I still don't want to give up on my fourth uncle, so I have captured Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng in peace to give my fourth uncle a warning, and quickly dispatch Yao Guangxiao, who has just surrendered to me, and your confidant Dao Yan, to go to Peking. My last lobbyist!"
"Fourth Uncle, I have retreated far enough. There is no way out. I will hand everything over to Yao Guangxiao and Fourth Uncle."
"I'm very pleased that my fourth uncle can rein in the situation. You and I won't be at each other's swords, the people won't be fleeing, the armies won't kill each other, and the Ming Dynasty won't be filled with wars! I'm really pleased! Come on, fourth uncle, I'm glad. Here’s to you!”
Zhu Di was frightened and guilty, so he had to raise his glass and drink it silently.
The heart of an emperor is as unpredictable as the sea.
But now Zhu Yunwen actually revealed everything.
This heart is more touching and more profound than countless gifts and rewards.
Zhu Di knelt down, saluted Zhu Yunzhen, and promised: "As your Majesty's minister, I will live up to your Majesty's kindness! Please punish me by decree for any mistakes you have made in the past!"
Zhu Yunwen stood up, helped Zhu Di up, and said with a hint of drunkenness: "Fourth uncle, you don't understand, there is no emperor today, only the family of uncles and nephews. You and I can be frank and tell each other clearly. There is no grudge in our hearts. You are still mine." The most respected Uncle Wang is the unshakable God of War of the Ming Dynasty! Come on, I’ve finished saying it, it’s your turn!”
Zhu Di sat down, drank several glasses of wine, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, this matter needs to start from the 25th year of Hongwu. Prince Yiwen respected the Taizu's will and found a new capital in Xi'an. Shortly after returning to the capital, he felt cold and died. go……"
