There was a bit of gritted teeth in Zhu Gaoxu's words.
However, after so many years, Chen Kan has long been immune to such verbal threats.
Without leaving a trace, Chen Kan broke away Zhu Gaoxu's hand and said with a slight smile: "It's not like I just returned to the capital. I haven't had any free time yet."
After explaining, Chen Kan continued to smile and said: "I heard that His Highness the King of Han is about to conquer Ni in the east, so I would like to congratulate His Highness the King of Han on his victory."
After listening to Chen Kan's words that were half mocking and half congratulatory, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly slapped Chen Kan on the shoulder and laughed and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say, otherwise others would say that my brother-in-law is a rare talent in the Ming Dynasty. This time, for my brother, I can I have to thank my brother-in-law for this good fortune."
Chen Kan nodded with an unchanging expression and said, "There is no need to thank you. If His Highness the King of Han is serious, he might as well lead his troops to put down the rebellion as soon as possible. After all, the Japanese country is now the most important silver production place in the Ming Dynasty."
"This is natural. Don't forget, when I led the army, my brother-in-law was still a rotten scholar."
Zhu Gaoxu responded with a smile. Seeing that Zhu Gaochi was expressionless, he had to find a place to sit down.
Chen Kan followed the etiquette and returned to sit behind the desk.
Zhu Gaochi's chubby body came closer and said with a simple smile: "Brother-in-law, the second one is a little bit more open-minded. Don't argue with him."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is joking, what is my identity? How dare I argue with His Highness the King of Han?"
Chen Kan's tone was slightly distant and his face had no expression, but he was very unhappy now.
Zhu Gaoxu started to sow discord as soon as he entered the house. He looked like a smaller version of Zhu Di in a sinister manner. What the hell.
It was also thanks to Chen Kan that he was able to conquer the East.
There is nothing wrong with this. He really wants to thank Chen Kan. If Chen Kan had not started planning in Liaodong several years in advance, how could he have the opportunity to destroy the country today?
But it's okay if he doesn't mention it, but he gets angry when he mentions Chen Kan.
Watching the saplings grow into towering trees, Chen Kan did the fertilizing and watering himself. Now when it was time to pick peaches, Zhu Di kicked him away and said he was reluctant to let him cross the ocean again.
If it weren't for Chen Kan's vision and knowledge that transcended this era for thousands of years, he really wouldn't care much about merit and reputation.
If it were anyone else who was beaten down by Zhu Di's combination of punches, it would be time to consider the possibility of rebellion.
But Chen Kan's willingness to consider the overall situation does not mean that he is happy in his heart.
He is first of all a person with emotions, anger, sorrow and joy, and secondly a time traveler with outstanding vision and knowledge.
You, Zhu Gaochi, didn't speak just now, but now you jump out and pretend to be a good person.
Not even a thing.
If it weren't for Zhu Di's three wills, Chen Kan wouldn't want to talk to the Zhu brothers today.
After Chen Kan encountered a soft nail, Zhu Gaochi was not angry. He still smiled like Maitreya Buddha and turned to clap his hands at Fengyang who was lying on Queen Xu's lap.
"Baby, come here, uncle."
Fengyang's dark eyes rolled around, disdainfully looking at Zhu Gaochi's fat hand.
He jumped off Queen Xu's legs and rushed towards Zhu Gaosui not far away.
"Uncle Shan... Shan..., hold... hold the baby."
Xiao Fengyang's actions immediately made Zhu Gaosui elated. He hugged Xiao Fengyang and lifted her high.
Xiao Fengyang's silver bell-like laughter suddenly sounded throughout the entire hall.
Seeing this, Chen Kan patted his thigh happily.
As expected of his kind, he knew who was a good guy and who was a bad guy at a young age.
That's right, among the three brothers of the Zhu family, the one with the best sense of Chen Kan is Zhu Gaosui, the youngest.
Although Zhu Gaosui has a deep mind, loves to sow discord between the eldest and the second oldest, has some unspeakable thoughts in his heart, and behaves like a villain, Chen Kan has always had a good sense of him. .
The reason is also very simple. Although Zhu Gaosui has a deep mind, he has never cheated Chen Kan.
On the contrary, the two of them still wanted to join forces to destroy the White Lotus Sect.
On the other hand, Zhu Gaochi looked like a honest and honest man, and was a good guy to everyone, but in fact he was a shady group, and he showed no mercy when taking advantage of his own son.
Zhu Gaoxu is a reckless man. His brain is all about his muscles. From time to time, he will jump out to respond to Chen Kan.
Chen Kan really couldn't like them anymore.
As for the friendship they established with the original Chen Kan when they were under house arrest in Nanjing by Jianwen, they had long since been completely consumed by their calculations and interests as they grew up.
After all, when a few people are at this level, it is too trivial to talk about personal emotions.
Seeing Fengyang smiling happily in Zhu Gaosui's arms, Zhu Gaochi had a bit of embarrassment on his face. He raised his hands in the air and neither stretched nor closed them.
Zhu Gaoxu had always been happy to see his boss being frustrated, so he immediately sneered and said, "Boss, how do you feel about being so sentimental?"
Zhu Gaochi retracted his hand angrily, and replied unwillingly: "When it comes to being sentimental, I think you should have a deep understanding of it."
Zhu Gaoxu's face froze for a moment, and he was about to retort.
Empress Xu, who was sitting on the throne, spoke: "Okay, you are already a father, why are you still acting like a child? Fengyang likes the third child, so let the third child hold her for a while. You will not lose a piece of meat." .”
As soon as Queen Xu opened her mouth, the two brothers could only stop fighting no matter how unwilling they were.
After glaring at each other, they saluted Empress Xu at the same time: "The empress has taught you a lesson, it's my child Meng Lang."
Queen Xu glared at her two sons with dissatisfaction, and waved to Zhu Zhanji, who was watching her father and second uncle fight with relish.
"Dasun, go and see your grandpa. It's already noon, why are you still not here? Is Yuan Zheng still going to be here?"
Zhu Zhanji smacked his lips with unfinished thoughts, bent down and accepted the order: "Yes, grandson, go take a look."
After that, he pulled Zhu Zhanhe, who was huddled in the corner to watch the excitement, and left.
Zhu Zhanhe was obviously reluctant, but Zhu Zhanji was stronger than him, and he lifted her out of the hall like a chicken.
Watching Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe leave the hall, Chen Kan couldn't help but smack his lips.
He had to admit that the Zhu family had some talent. If they were born in later generations, they might be able to compete with the German Society.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu stopped fighting, and only Fengyang's giggles remained in the hall.
Chang Ning subconsciously moved closer to Chen Kan, and then couldn't help but sigh slightly.
The three brothers each have their own secrets, and the four sisters have gone to other places. She can't even find anyone to talk to.
Chen Kan patted her hand and said nothing more.
Not long after, Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu left and returned, followed by Lao Zhu.
As soon as Zhu Di entered the door and heard Fengyang's laughter, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Little fat man, come and give me a hug."
"Ancestor... Ancestor..."
Fengyang struggled to climb off Zhu Gaosui and stumbled towards Zhu Di.
Perhaps the cross-generational relationship in Lao Zhu's family is really hereditary.
When Lord Hong Wu was in power, he liked to take care of his grandchildren, but he was very strict with his sons.
The same was true when it came to Zhu Di. His sons did not dare to breathe in front of Zhu Di, but his grandchildren were able to have fun in his hall and were very close to him.
Zhu Zhanji was like this, and Zhu Zhanhe was almost the same. When he arrived in Fengyang, he could even hold the jade seal and play with it as a toy.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became harmonious after Zhu Di arrived.
Both Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu were stunned.
Zhu Di held Xiao Fengyang and played for a while, then waved his hand and said: "Queen, let the palace people prepare. Let's go to the tower to have fun with the people tonight."
Empress Xu agreed softly, called the servants of Kunning Palace and asked them to summon the empresses of each palace, and then took Fengyang from Zhu Di.
Not long after, the entire harem started to get busy.
Zhu Di's group of warblers and swallows gathered in Kunning Palace, and the sound of chirping was endless.
Fengyang clumsily cupped her little hands to send New Year greetings to the empresses of the palace. Her cute little appearance instantly made her a favorite of the group. Everyone wanted to hug her, kiss and touch her, and she was even more reluctant to receive various small gifts.
There was no other way, even though Zhu Di's harem was so large, the number of heirs was not prosperous.
Zhu Di had only three sons and six daughters in his life. The eldest princess was the daughter of a concubine, but she died young before she reached adulthood.
Of the three existing sons and five daughters, seven of them were born to Empress Xu. Only one, Chang Ning, was born to a concubine, and that concubine died young before she could experience the feeling that mothers are more valuable than daughters.
So in such a huge harem, these ladies are actually very lonely.
In the past, it was Zhu Zhanji who made them happy, but as Zhu Zhanji grew up, he spent most of his time either in the Marquis Mansion or the East Palace, and rarely set foot in the harem. Zhu Di's harem basically became a stagnant water.
Fengyang is cute and sensible, like a plump porcelain doll, so it is normal for her to please everyone.
Not long after, Chen Kan and Chang Ning were covered with various treasures.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
A visit to the palace could make a small fortune, which the two of them never expected.
After Fengyang finished dealing with these enthusiastic elders, she was so tired that she fell asleep in Chen Kan's arms.
Soon, it was evening.
The entire capital was brightly lit, and the palace's night banquet officially began.
On the tall city tower, countless captains in golden uniforms came and went, and the tall screens blocked the cold wind in the air.
Countless people took to the streets to call their friends. Even the young girls and young wives who never left their boudoirs would go out today to join in the fun.
Many people gathered in front of Hongwu Gate, waiting for Queen Xu and her concubines to sprinkle various standard palace flowers from the tower.
Don't underestimate these palace flowers. The palace flowers sprinkled by Queen Xu every year can bring many more happy families to the capital.
Chen Kan stood on the city tower, holding the sleeping Fengyang in his arms, and looked around to see a flourishing fireworks.
"Bang~"
"Bang bang bang~"
Fireworks exploded all over the palace. Chang Ning leaned next to Chen Kan and said with a smile: "Husband, the dinner has begun."
Chen Kan nodded and turned to sit down.
