Chapter 728: Long Live My Emperor
In Kunning Palace.
At this moment, Zhu Di was already dressed up, but he was not in a hurry to see the princes and relatives. He was the emperor and the birthday star, so naturally he deserved the people outside waiting for him, and he would never complain.
Empress Xu was combing her hair at this moment, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, as she was old and had a few fish patterns on her eyes. Xu couldn't help but sigh. After wearing the phoenix crown, she waved her hand and the palace maids retreated, leaving only Zhu Di and Xu in the hall.
Xu said slowly: "Your Majesty, don't go and have a look first?"
Zhu Di sat on the Jindun, holding his hands on the table and ate tea, shook his head and said, "What's the point of looking at? It's said that birthday is a happy event. I don't think so. I'm one year older and I'm about to die. What's the point of living a hundred years old is purely nonsense. When I look at it, I feel a little bored when I listen to those birthday words. There's nothing else but these function words. It's better to sit here for a while."
Xu couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that Gao Xu can't come. If all three sons come, I'm in a better mood. Your Majesty..." Xu wanted to speak but stopped. This once very strong woman touched the weakness in her heart at this moment and became gentle in an instant. She glanced at her husband and continued: "Your Majesty, there is actually a saying that I have always kept in my stomach, and I don't know whether to say it or not. On weekdays, Your Majesty controls the country's affairs. I'm afraid that it will add burden to Your Majesty. Today is Your Majesty's birthday, and you shouldn't cause any trouble to Your Majesty. But if you don't say it, you will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable."
Zhu Di Surong said: "After you say it, I'm listening."
Xu pursed his lips and said, "I heard that the prince and King Zhao have been in a bad relationship recently. Is there any such thing? Your Majesty, don't rush to shake your head. In fact, although I have been living in the palace for a long time, I know a little about the matter outside. According to me, there is a thing. The reason for the disagreement is that King Zhao repeated the mistakes of King Han. Your Majesty regarded him as King Han. He entrusted him with the important tasks. Gao Chi, the child, is gentle on the surface. In fact, he is also a strong man. After all, he is the crown prince and the crown prince.
He is deeply trusted by his brothers. How could he feel in his heart? As for Gao Sui, he is actually an idle temperament, but why can't he think about him so much? What people are most afraid of is to have unreasonable thoughts. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui are now, in fact, they did not have to compete with their brothers for a day. But when His Majesty gave them hope and had hope, they were eager to try. I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, right?"
"Your Majesty has his own arrangements. I'm afraid I've thought about this. I'm afraid that it's because of this. The family affairs of the Tian family are state affairs. How can I not understand these principles? So I'm really in trouble. I'm talking about it, but it's not possible to say it. I'm your Majesty's wife and the mother of the children. If you don't say something clearly, you always feel uncomfortable. So if Your Majesty really does it for Gao Sui's sake, you shouldn't let him stay in the capital, nor should you?
Giving him a bad idea should make him return to Guangzhou immediately to become his vassal king, and the prince will be able to fall into the ground, and he, as the crown prince, can be free to be able to share his worries, right? The children are old after all, and each has their own destination. The most important thing in these dynasties is nothing more than the word duty. The prince keeps his own duties, and the vassal king keeps his duties, so that there will be no trouble and no repetition of the King of Han."
"I just want Your Majesty to think about it carefully. Now, taking advantage of this birthday, let Your Majesty think about it very much. Your Majesty, we are all old, how many years will we have in this life? The future is approaching, aren't we just expecting our descendants to be safe? After all, I am a woman who knows nothing. These words may not make sense. Right and wrong, and I want to ask Your Majesty to judge."
After Xu said that, he had already grown up and went to pour tea for Zhu Di himself.
Zhu Di frowned and said nothing.
In fact, the two of them have been married for so many years, and their thoughts are tacit, but Xu's words make sense. Zhu Di couldn't help but hesitate at this time, but he didn't agree immediately, just smiled and said, "Oh, it seems that you are in a hurry to rush Gao Sui to Guangdong. He stayed in the capital. Are you so unhappy?"
He said this, but he knew what was going on in his heart. In the end, he didn't want to continue talking. He grew up and said, "I'll go to the warm room to see it. This birthday party is still early. I'll have to drink with Duke Wei to stop today."

The situation in the warmer pavilion is different.
After the greetings, everyone was silent, each looking silent. Even Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, did not speak at this time. Although he was the uncle of the two princes, he could see clearly the matter in the court. Now that the princes are fighting so fiercely, there is no need for the Xu family to participate, because no matter who is in this world, the Xu family is the national uncle, and their gratitude remains undiminished. But once you get involved in such a thing, you will win, and the achievements of the dragon are just icing on the cake. If you lose, you will inevitably be jealous of the new king. With the lessons of the Jingnan Battle, the Xu family seems much more cautious.
Zhu Gaochi still looked calm and meticulous, and was not as meticulous as he laughed. He occasionally coughed a few words and moved his fat body. He tried his best to have some demeanor, but his appearance and figure betray him deeply, which always made people feel a little ridiculous.
Zhu Gaosui was very different. He looked left and right, full of humor, but he didn't say anything, but occasionally came to Hao Fenglou and whispered to Hao Fenglou.
Hao Fenglou responded in a messy manner, and he had long been accustomed to the awkward atmosphere in the pavilion. Although the royal relatives here all smiled on the surface, they all had their own plans. In fact, they were them, even if they were themselves, so why not?
At this moment, someone finally came to rescue the situation, and someone outside sang loudly: "Your Majesty is here."
So everyone stood up one after another, and when Zhu Di came in with his hands behind his back, he bowed down and said, "Long live my emperor, I will live forever!"
Zhu Di just glanced at them and then laughed. As a birthday star, his face was flushed and said, "No need to be too polite, no need to be too polite. Today's day is long. If I kowtow every three steps, my birthday will not look good."
