Chen Kan was dumbfounded by what Zhu Di and Dao Yan did.
Is the matter of the crown prince such a child's play?
This is not about dividing the property among old landlords, but about inheriting a huge empire. Is it really okay to be so hasty?
It's a pity that Chen Kan's opinion is insignificant, or Chen Kan dare not have any opinion.
He originally thought that the matter of establishing Zhu Gaochi as the prince would go through a wonderful war of words. At the very least, the supporters of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui in the court should stand up and say a few words, right?
As a result, they unanimously agreed to make Zhu Gaochi the prince.
Did the executive deputy emperor of the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty in history already have such a high reputation in the second year of Yongle?
I still underestimate this uncle.
Listening to Zhu Di issuing political orders one after another, Chen Kan felt sleepy again.
Next is the drama of offering sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple and then announcing it to the world, which has nothing to do with him anymore.
So now he is eager to go home and take a nap.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Di's mouth was like a machine gun, clicking non-stop.
This means that an hour has passed.
When Zhu Di stopped talking, Chen Kan was already dizzy with hunger.
"Let the dynasty disperse. In three days, we will offer sacrifices to heaven in the southern suburbs and tell the world!"
Chen Kan finally heard the word Sanchao that he wanted to hear most.
Almost as soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Chen Kan rushed out of the main hall door.
The two young eunuchs who were carrying food were startled by Chen Kan who suddenly rushed out of the hall. Fortunately, Chen Kan ducked out of the way at the critical moment and narrowly avoided the two young eunuchs.
Chen Kan could already smell the food. It was obvious that Zhu Di was going to give food to the ministers today.
However, Chen Kan did not stop.
The dogs shook their heads when they saw the food in the palace.
Rushing out of the Hongwu Gate and onto his carriage, the whole process was smooth and smooth, as if there was a dog chasing behind him.
Yuan Rong and Li Rang, who were still waiting outside Hongwu Gate, looked angry.
But Chen Kan had no time to pay attention to them.
"go home!"
These two simple words contain Chen Kan's deep attachment to his family.
Fang Xu didn't waste any time. He immediately turned the carriage around and shouted, "Master Marquis, sit tight."
"Drive~"
The horse spread its hooves and galloped towards Wuyi Lane.
Delicious food has been prepared in the house. As soon as Chen Kan stepped into the house, Zhu Yuelan held Hua Shi's little hand and greeted him.
"Husband, has the position of heir apparent been settled?"
Chen Kan stepped forward and said calmly: "Nothing happened, your eldest brother successfully became the prince. Three days later, your majesty will go to the southern suburbs to worship heaven and announce that he has become the prince in front of all the people in the capital."
"It's good to be the eldest brother, it's good to be the eldest brother."
Zhu Yuelan patted her chest, looking happy.
Chen Kan couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you happy when your second or third brother becomes the prince?"
Zhu Yuelan touched her nose in embarrassment: "That's not true, I just simply think that if the eldest brother becomes the prince, the people's lives will be much easier in the future. The second brother's character is too irritable, and the third brother's temper is gloomy, so the eldest brother is still good."
Chen Kan seemed to have discovered a new world, his eyes widened and he asked: "Madam, you still have a heart for the country and the people?"
Zhu Yuelan pushed Chen Kan: "No."
Facing Chen Kan's suspicious gaze, Zhu Yuelan quickly said: "Let's eat first."
Chen Kan still stared at Zhu Yuelan as if he were looking at something novel, and she was so embarrassed that she pushed Hua Shi towards Chen Kan.
Chen Kan took the speechless Hua Shi and suddenly laughed and said: "Hahahahaha... well, since the master of our family has a gloomy temper, the mistress of our family should be a good person who cares about the country and the people. , only when yin and yang come together can they complement each other.”
"snort!"
Zhu Yuelan snorted lightly, but the shy attitude on her face showed that she still agreed with Chen Kan's words.
While Chen Kan was holding the flowers, he stepped forward to hold Zhu Yuelan and shouted: "Eat, eat, I'm starving to death."
The three of them came to the restaurant and sat down, and the servants began to serve the dishes in an orderly manner.
There has never been a rule in the Hou Mansion that one should eat and sleep without talking, and it has always been a matter of eating and feeling comfortable.
While Chen Kan was eating, he told the two of them what they had seen in the court today.
Then, Chen Kan noticed that Hua Shi's face suddenly fell.
Chen Kan put down his chopsticks, rubbed Hua Shi's head, and asked, "What's wrong? You look depressed. Are you not happy staying in the Hou Mansion?"
Hua Shi shook her head and whispered, "No, Hou Mansion is very nice, like home."
Zhu Yuelan also put down her chopsticks and asked with concern: "What's going on?"
Hua Shi suddenly looked at Chen Kan and asked, "Teacher, His Royal Highness the Emperor's father has become the crown prince. Can I still play with him in the future?"
Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why do you ask that?"
A touch of melancholy appeared on Hua Shi's pretty little face: "Mother said, there is a huge difference between the royal family's identity and mine. Originally, His Highness the Emperor's Grandson was the Emperor's eldest grandson, and now his father has become the Crown Prince. Between us, The identity gap between them is even greater.”
"oh!"
Chen Kansha nodded matter-of-factly: "Then do you still want to play with His Royal Highness?"
Hua Shi nodded and responded without any hesitation: "I think so."
"That's all right. His Highness the Emperor Sun is His Highness the Emperor Sun outside, but in the Hou Mansion, he is your senior brother. You and he are the same person, with one mouth, one nose and two eyes. There is no difference. Do you understand?"
In fact, Chen Kan had long discovered that Hua Shi had a low self-esteem, which was the sequelae of his father's early death.
In the past, he had never taken any action to correct him, just to see when the inferiority complex in his heart would burst out.
Now because Zhu Zhanji's status has become more noble, this inferiority complex is not necessarily a bad thing in Chen Kan's opinion.
It is also a good time to take advantage of this opportunity to establish a correct outlook on flowers.
Hua Shi nodded in understanding, Chen Kan rubbed his head and continued: "In appearance, you are all human, there is no difference. The biggest difference between people lies in our thinking. When our spiritual level reaches a certain level, then the difference in identity will not become a shackles for communication between people."
Chen Kan said and told Hua Shi about Zhu Zhanji's performance in front of Fang Xiaoru that morning.
When Hua Shi heard that Zhu Zhanji had such a serious side, she couldn't help but open her mouth.
He asked with some disbelief: "Really, is it true, Senior Brother, he really respects Master?"
Chen Kan smoothly stuffed a goose leg into Hua Shi's mouth and said with a slight smile: "Of course it is true. Not to mention His Royal Highness, even Your Majesty must treat you with courtesy in front of your master. Your master's knowledge You are already bound by secular etiquette, so what you have to do is study hard and become a person like your master."
After Chen Kan drank the poisonous chicken soup, Hua Shi's face finally showed a smile again.
He took a hard bite of the goose leg and said vaguely but firmly: "I must study hard and become a person like my master and teacher who is useful to the country and loved by the people."
"come on."
Chen Kan clenched his fists to encourage him, and then said: "You have fallen far behind your senior brother in your studies. In this month, the Master Council will conduct some devilish training on you, trying to make you catch up with your senior brother's progress. Then, Let’s go north and study hard.”
"good!"
Hua Shi nodded, all he heard was "read hard"
As for what Chen Kan said about studying in the north, he selectively ignored it.
Anyway, he goes wherever the teacher tells him to go.
But in addition to Hua Shi and Chen Kan, there was also Zhu Yuelan who listened to Chen Kan cooking chicken soup with gusto.
She keenly heard that there was another meaning in Chen Kan's words about going to study in the north.
He immediately looked at Chen Kan curiously.
"Husband, what do you mean by going to the north to study?"
Chen Kan did not explain immediately, but asked instead: "Madam, do you want to go to Beijing?"
Zhu Yuelan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course I have, that is the place where I grew up. Besides, I have long hated the hot and humid climate in the south of the Yangtze River. It would be great to be able to return to Beijing."
"Okay, that's settled. Once Zhu Zhanji escapes from the palace, our family will move to Beijing."
Chen Kanbi made an OK gesture with a relieved smile on his face.
He was originally worried that Zhu Yuelan would be attached to the prosperity of the capital and reluctant to part with the Hou Mansion's foundation in Nanjing.
But now that Zhu Yuelan has no objection to going to Beijing, Chen Kan has nothing to say.
He had nothing to say, but Zhu Yuelan was full of questions: "But husband, our family is living well in the capital, why do we want to move our family to Beijing again?"
Chen Kan took a small mouthful of food and explained: "My husband's guess is that when Zhu Zhanji escapes from the palace, it will be time for your second brother to follow suit and return to the court. With your second brother's temperament, there will inevitably be another dispute over the position of crown prince.
There is no need for our family to get involved in the whirlpool of the fight for the heir apparent, and we dare not get involved in the whirlpool of the fight for the heir apparent. After all, your husband and I have already said that our family will never unequivocally support every prince.
But if we continue to stay in the capital, with your second brother's temperament, he will definitely come to your husband every day to make trouble, so we simply move to Beijing to stay away from the disputes in the court. "
Zhu Yuelan didn't expect that there were so many reasons behind moving to Beijing, and her brows suddenly wrinkled.
She asked a little unconfidently: "Will father allow us to go to Beijing?"
Chen Kan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty will agree. My husband has already had an affair with Your Majesty. We still need an important minister to take charge of the construction of Beijing. We don't have a suitable one yet. It would be a good idea for our family to move to Beijing." I share my worries with my father."
"All right."
Zhu Yuelan put away the hesitation on her face and started serving dishes to the two of them.
As for Hua Shi's opinion, the couple made a tacit agreement not to ask.
In this era, the three most important relationships in life are father and son, husband and wife, and master and apprentice.
Chen Kan is Hua Shi’s teacher, and the teacher has another title: "Master"
Master, Master, once a teacher, always a father.
Before the flowers reach the crown, Chen Kan has the right to make any decision for him.
