Chapter 122: Storage
"Long live my emperor, my empress, thousand years old." The wife, ladies, and maids saluted one after another.
Zhu Di's face was the same as Hao Fenglou, and he still had the "traces" from Fengtian Palace. Although the swelling had disappeared, the bruises were still there. He hung more colors than Hao Fenglou, and his eye sockets were a little blue. Fortunately, it became much lighter and no one could knock it out without looking carefully. I don't know, I just thought that it was because of His Majesty's daily life and staying up late every day.
This trip was originally from Empress Xu's request. Empress Xu was grateful to Hao Fenglou. This gratitude seemed incredible to outsiders, but Empress Xu knew very well what her brother had. She was so furious at that time that it was very likely that it would anger the emperor. Even if she did not behead her head, it would be certain to take away the title of Duke of Wei, which was related to the rise and fall of her parents' family. Empress Xu was worried about this.
Now that the merits are complete, the imperial decree has been issued. Xu Huizu went to the Xunwei Office to be on duty and started working as the governor. This time, Empress Xu saw the dawn.
Empress Xu was full of gratitude, but she was too busy before the New Year. Now she finally had time to free herself, so she kept her mind and wanted to encourage her. She had to summon Hao Fenglou to the palace, but Empress Xu was in a good mood and wanted to come out and take a look.
Zhu Di was just a person who couldn't sit still. He was in Peiping, bent his bow and horse and headed to the desert every few days. Now that he has had enough of the tediousness of the New Year, he has long been impatient. Since Empress Xu came to ask for his order, he not only followed him, but also followed him.
Any emperor like Zhu Di has always been unrestrained by rules and regulations. In his eyes, the emperor is bullshit. I am just me. Who dares to disobey? In Jingnan, this guy often takes a few personal guards to the southern army camp to observe the arrangements of the other party. Not to mention leaving the palace, if these guards were not begging for nothing, Zhu Di would dare to ride out alone, with a horse and a knife in his hand, and he would only be able to kill people.
Empress Xu was very decent and hurried forward and asked everyone to avoid the gift. She went to see Mrs. Hao and said, "Are you Mrs. Jixian Bo?"
Mrs. Hao was flattered: "I am the one."
Empress Xu held her hand and smiled and said, "Why are there so many people, are there many guests?" She saw Mrs. Xu and nodded to her. Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Empress. We are listening to the opera."
"Listen to the opera." Empress Xu's eyes lit up, and her beautiful eyes flashed: "When I was still at the age of the boudoir, I also liked to listen to operas, but later I entered the palace and now I am in the palace, although there are also operas. But I always go back and forth, and I have been tired of it. I am presumptuous. Please don't blame me, please take me to listen to it."
Mrs. Hao was happy. She was originally a little sensible, but now she saw that Empress Xu is so approachable. She quickly responded, so a group of people in the mansion were busy again, and countless women gathered in Empress Xu to the back garden.
Hao Fenglou also wanted to follow him, so he heard Zhu Di coughing. Hao Fenglou was afraid that he would settle the old accounts. He clearly remembered how Zhu Di turned against him and refused to recognize others. The five words "Parent Jun is like a tiger" gave him a very intuitive feeling. Whenever he saw the "mark" on Zhu Di's face, Hao Fenglou felt his liver trembling. This is evidence. Such a large amount of evidence was wandering in front of him, how could he not be afraid?
Zhu Di said: "After walking, what should I do after following the woman? I have no future."
Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."
The word "Saint and Ming" has become a catchphrase. Anyway, such cheap and pleasing things will not lose weight. Hao Fenglou doesn't mind wearing a high hat.
Zhu Di smiled and said, "You find a place to go."
Then the two appeared in the hall of the Hao family. Hao Fenglou asked someone to pour tea on it and said, "Your Majesty. It is not advisable to drink wine at this time, so please invite Your Majesty to have tea."
Zhu Di nodded and said, "Then drink tea." He picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and then frowned: "This tea tastes familiar, yes, this is a tribute Biluochun, Hao Fenglou, when did I give you this tea?"
Hao Fenglou suddenly became embarrassed. The tea was indeed not given, but... it was Hao Fenglou who came. He ran to the palace and asked the eunuch to serve tea, and then asked someone to pack two pounds. At that time, Hao Fenglou had a mission, and the eunuch dared not refuse to agree. As a result, he took nothing and put two bags of tea in his arms. Unexpectedly, he was exposed today and caught a current situation.
Zhu Di immediately said, "I understand. I have given it to Mr. Yao. Oh, you are a disciple of others. They don't take any advantage of you. Instead, you take advantage of your master. This is not worth it, not right." He said this, but he was secretly happy in his heart. He knew that Mr. Yao's nature was always addicted to tea, but he did not expect that Hao Fenglou would take advantage of it.
Zhu Di thought it through himself, which made Hao Fenglou feel relieved and laughed dryly: "Yes, but I didn't treat my mentor badly, so I gave me a gift during the Chinese New Year."
Zhu Dihe nodded: "It is necessary to respect teachers and respect the truth. Oh... you can speak well on weekdays, but I want to ask you something."
Hao Fenglou smiled: "Your Majesty just ask."
Zhu Di looked at Hao Fenglou deeply: "The prince is good, or the king of Han is better?"
The smile on Hao Fenglou's face suddenly became stiff. He realized that he had encountered a problem that could change his life. Anyone who had a little understanding of the Yongle Dynasty knew that many big people died on this issue. Now, Hao Fenglou could not have thought that he had the same trouble. He was definitely not at all arrogant, thinking that he was simply in the heart of the emperor, so that Zhu Di also asked for his opinion, because if this opinion was wrong, he would lose his head.
Hao Fenglou said lightly: "What do you think about Your Majesty?"
Zhu Di said coldly: "I am asking you, but why did you ask me back?"
Hao Fenglou said: "Your Majesty, whether it is the crown prince or the king of Han, they are all your relatives. Therefore, I think that it is not important for me to think about it. The most important thing is Your Majesty. Not only does it not matter, but the view of me is not important, except for Your Majesty, no matter who is a royal relative or a prince, prince, general, or minister, it is not important. This answer is only in Your Majesty's heart. Why should Your Majesty ask this more?"
"It doesn't matter how good someone else says it." Zhu Di was very satisfied with this answer. Although he was suspected of being mixed, he revealed the essence of the problem. Zhu Di stroked his hands and said, "You guy, have told the truth. Let's tell the truth. Xie Jin and others told me that the prince is good. But Qiu Fu and the others said that the king of Han are like this. I heard these words. I have a calluse. My two sons are worth it. I don't know. Instead, they boasted about the benefits of the prince and the king of Han, which made me upset. I should tell them your words. No matter how much they say, I am making the decision. I say that the prince is good, the prince is good, I say that both the king of Han can be good, and the king of Han can be good, and the king of Han can be both civil and military."
Hao Fenglou breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a strange way: "Your Majesty, I guess someone wants to invite the crown prince?"
Hao Fenglou's guess is correct. Zhu Di cannot be groundless and asks himself this question for no reason. The only possibility is that before the end of the year, someone was already anxious. Everyone called him the prince and lived in the Eastern Palace. However, Zhu Di did not issue an explicit order to make Zhu Gaochi the prince. This is a bit like getting on the bus and not having to make up for the ticket. He was obviously the same as JU, but his mother didn't go through the procedures.
It is precisely because there is no formalities that the mistress, that is, our King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it and was eyeing it. The prince was recently scolded by Zhu Di and his younger brother was sabotaging the throne again. At this time, he must have been anxious and waited for his father to do the important business immediately. However, he could not bring up such a matter. So, someone had figured out the prince's intentions and could write a letter saying that the country should not have a king for a day, nor should it have no crown prince for a day. His eldest son Zhu Gaochi was smart, kind and filial, and he should be the chief crown prince as soon as possible.
On the other hand, when the King of Han saw this, he had to instruct someone to say a few bad things. So he started to move around the issue of the crown prince. Zhu Di most likely began to think about the pros and cons of this matter. He met Hao Fenglou today and then asked.
Zhu Di took a sip of tea and nodded, "Yes, someone really wants to invite the crown prince. My two sons are not easy to deal with. This is like me. When Taizu was here, I didn't have this idea. In fact, everyone wants to be the crown prince. Once the crown prince is, I can be the emperor. But I have to think about it again."
When he talked about thinking, his expression seemed a little bit graceful.
Hao Fenglou was quite able to understand Zhu Di's mood. He secretly speculated that Zhu Di should still recognize Zhu Gaochi. The reason why he did not confirm in advance may be that he still had some hope for Zhu Gaoxu. This is a very contradictory mood. There is only one prince, but three sons, and there are many qualified ones, and there are two.
Zhu Di was excited: "If you don't talk about these things, I will be able to hunt in the New Year, so you can come too. The vassal kings will also be there. If you bump into King Ning, you should be careful. He has not done much recently. However, I know that this emperor brother is not a good-looking lamp. The quieter he is, the more careful he should be careful. Of course he dare not treat me, but you..."
Hao Fenglou said: "Since it's so dangerous, I won't go."
Zhu Di sneered: "The more dangerous you are, the more you want to go. Why not go? The sky falls, it's just a death. Everyone in this world is afraid of death, but I know the truth here. The more you are afraid of it, the more it pesters you, making you feel frightened and restless day and night. So you can't be afraid. If the bull-headed and horse-faced come to find me, the ones you are afraid of should not be me, but these two beasts!"
Hao Fenglou smiled: "Okay, I'll hunt you then, so I'll count it as a Weichen."
