The vermilion door of Nangong was tightly closed, and it was still bare even in broad daylight.
For Zhu Qizhen, the door is not a simple door. It is a door that hinders his yearning for freedom. His closing is just like Zhu Qizhen's closed heart.
He yearned for freedom, but there was no freedom. Sometimes, after he had eaten and drank enough, he went out for a walk and saw the roots of the chopped trees under the palace wall still trying to sprout. He couldn't help but start to think about how he could be free. This prison.
If I could become a little bird, would I be able to fly through this luxurious "prison"?
Zhu Qizhen will also miss the past, wondering if his fate would not be what it is today if he did not have a chariot to fight in person.
Although he lives a carefree life now, with good food, drink and hospitality every day, he enjoys endless blessings from the people of Qi.
In Nangong, he has two princes who are over two years old, one prince who is over one year old, and two one-year-old princesses.
Counting the ten princes and daughters under Zhang Yan's care, he had fifteen children in his thirties.
Give him time, and he will surpass the amount of Taizu Emperor Gao's twenty-six sons and fifteen daughters.
But he was once the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he was not willing to be like this.
Sometimes, he keeps thinking, is it possible that what I expect now is to keep having children to gain achievements, and then find random girls everywhere without any pressure at all. As long as the girl she likes tells her whether she wants to have a baby and become a prince, she will Agreed, is this happy, isn't it? No one would feel happy.
Too much pressure can kill people, but without pressure, it hurts...
Decadence, enjoyment and laziness are Zhu Qizhen's daily living conditions.
But today, Zhu Qizhen looked very energetic, dressed well and had his hair styled. Because of his weight gain, he looked very majestic.
The only reason why he changed his style from the past was because someone inside last night brought news that his good son, His Highness the King of Han, was coming to Nangong to pay his respects before leaving the vassal state.
Over the years, he has never seen anyone except the people from Nangong, not to mention the person he can control as his son. How can he not be excited?
He was sitting in the main hall with a smile on his face. Two women sat next to him.
One is Queen Mother Qian, and the other is Zhu Jianlin's biological mother, Qi.
"When my son sees me later, he will definitely cry with joy. You should be more relieved and don't make him too sentimental."
Queen Qian looked very good. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. His sister Qi will comfort the King of Han later."
The happiest person was the King of Han's biological mother Qi. She nodded quickly and was very excited.
For the Qi family, she had no status and had almost nothing except the King of Han. How could she not be excited? That was her biological son. In other words, he was also her hope for the rest of her life.
Looking at Mrs. Qi's expression, Zhu Qizhen felt that she was a little Thai, and felt a little unhappy. His emperor's accent also came out again.
"When you see King Han later, please don't cry, lest King Han feel that I have treated you badly."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Qi said quickly.

Zhu Jianshen's decree came into the hands of Zhan Yang, the Ministry of Rites.
There are two things to do.
The first thing was to prepare for the marriage of the King of Han, and the second thing was to arrange for the King of Han to immediately establish a vassal state. The place where the vassal was established was, as Xu Youzhen expected, not in Seoul and was moved to Nanyuan City.
In addition to King Xiang, this is the second task of the vassal king to vassal North Korea prepared by the Ministry of Rites.
As soon as Xu Youzhen arrived at the Ministry of Rites, she was pulled to the lobby of the government office by Zhan Yang and informed Xu Youzhen of His Majesty's decree.
After Xu Youzhen heard this, she immediately became energetic, or in other words, she became a little vigilant.
When the King of Han became a vassal, getting married was not a big deal to him, but Xu Youzhen knew that His Majesty would definitely ask the King of Han to see the Supreme Emperor before leaving.
This is something I don’t want to see.
The Supreme Emperor is a time bomb for Xu Youzhen. What if something like a dress edict is issued? Although it cannot have much impact on the legitimacy of the throne now, it will have an impact on himself.
Thinking about the belt edict that says: "Kill the national traitor Xu You", is this going to cost you your life?
Zhan Yang saw Xu Youzhen's eyes moving around and asked quickly: "Why, does Xu Du Yushi have any different opinions?"
"No, Mr. Zhan, I have something to do. I want to go to the palace to meet the saint, so I need to take a step first..."
"Alas, the censor of Xudu, the censor of Xudu..."
In response to Zhan Yang's call, Xu Youzhen did not hesitate at all. He arrived at the palace and submitted a request to see His Majesty the Emperor. After a while, he was told that His Majesty had gone to Kunning Palace and was not in Qianqing Palace.
Xu Youzhen also said that there was something important and she wanted to see His Majesty as soon as possible.
But the eunuch was coy and didn't dare to say anything else. After entering the palace and squatting in the corner for a while, he was in a dilemma. This is a big thing, and that is a big thing. How should I make a decision? After a while, the little eunuch thought. After thinking about it, forget it, report it to Kunning Palace first, let His Majesty know, and then stabilize Xu Youzhen.
At that moment, the young eunuch came out to see Xu Youzhen again and said: "Censor of Xudu, your majesty also has important things to do, but I have sent someone to Kunning Palace. Your majesty will know when you are free. Otherwise, please wait a moment." A while."
Xu Youzhen nodded and asked, "What about Eunuch Zhang?"
"Eunuch Zhang left the palace early in the morning."
After hearing this, Xu Youzhen nodded, and then said, "Then I'll go out for a while and be back soon."
With that said, Xu Youzhen left only a figure behind, and headed towards Nangong in a panic, to see if there was any chance to stop Zhang Bao on the way, and explain to him carefully that no trouble should be caused, but Xu Youzhen's efforts were in vain, because at this time, Zhang Bao and Zhu Jianlin were standing next to the gate of Nangong Palace.
Zhu Jianlin looked at the tall palace walls, the closed city gates, and the imperial guards outside the gates. There was no trace of excitement in his eyes.
Although he knew that his father was back and living in Nangong, Zhu Jianlin never thought of coming to Nangong to see his father and mother. Of course, it was not because of unfilial piety, but because of fear.
This is a sensitive area of the imperial court, and it is not a fear in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor.
Zhang Bao on the side was also observing Zhu Jianlin's expression, shaking his head inwardly, his acting was too deliberate.
How could a son not be excited when he saw his parents whom he had not seen for many years? It seemed that His Highness the King of Han was a master of the golden mean of self-preservation. biquge.biz
"Your Highness the King of Han, please."
"Excuse me, Eunuch Zhang."
"Your Highness, the King of Han, is welcome. Please open the door." Zhang Bao said to the Jin Yiwei on the side. After hearing the order, the Jin Yiwei knocked on the door bolt, three long and two short, and the palace door was slowly opened...
"Your Highness, King of Han, let's go..."
"Eunuch Zhang, please."
