Chapter 70: Complicated mood
Zhu Gaochi's mood was extremely complicated when he stepped into Nanjing.
Nanjing is still as prosperous and bustling as ever. Tourists from big families from all over the country crowd every scenic spot. Artists, singers, and poor scholars selling calligraphy and paintings crowd every street in Nanjing.
Great country, prosperous and prosperous.
Zhu Gaochi felt that Zhu Di's guilt was somewhat unforgivable.
If a person is driven by ambition and destroys this picturesque country in order to satisfy his desires and uses blood and war to outline his great achievements, then this person, even his own father, should not be forgiven.
"Chi'er has been in the presence of his father for a long time, and has been influenced by his ears and eyes. He always has compassion for the people and loves them like his own son. This is why he is so disgusted with what he did."
This is what Zhu Di said to Xu Yihua, who burst into tears when seeing him off, before coming to Nanjing with Yao Guangxiao: "Although I am going to Beijing alone to die, you must not bear grudges against the imperial court. You are responsible for all this."
At that time, Zhu Gaoxu, who was hot-tempered and impulsive, shouted that he would lead his troops south, but was beaten violently by Zhu Di. "If you dare to say this again, I will crush you to death with my own hands."
The entire Yan Palace believed that Zhu Di was destined to die, and even prepared filial piety in the palace. Unexpectedly, the news of Zhu Di's death did not come, but an imperial edict of grace was received.
Zhu Di was promoted to Chief of General Staff, and Zhu Gaochi was promoted to Hanlin Academy of Political Science!
Even Zhu Gaoxu, the gold belt winner in the first Zongxun Competition, received a position in the New Army, but before taking up his duties, he had to go to the New Army Lecture Hall to study.
"Nanjing has changed too much."
Zhu Gaochi looked at his mother and said, "Although the emperor seems lazy, he understands everything in the world. He has done things repeatedly. Although it is confusing at first, there is a reason behind them, and he is a hero."
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't bear to hear Zhu Gaochi flattering the emperor all day long. "Brother, our car is full of family members. Can the emperor hear what you say?"
Xu Yihua glared at him and said, "Don't forget your father's admonition. If you dare to talk nonsense again, get out and don't go home."
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but get out of the carriage with an angry groan, and jumped directly from the shaft, "This carriage is like a turtle crawling, grinding and chirping like a girl. It's not good to sit down." Looking at this posture, it seems that he is planning to run away.
go home.
"Don't worry about him, it's windy outside, just let him quiet his head."
Seeing Zhu Gaochi trying to stop him, Xu Yihua snorted.
The group of people marched another two miles in Nanjing City. Several palace servants stopped the carriage. Zhu Gaochi lifted the curtain and came out, "I have met several father-in-laws from the Imperial Palace."
The first person bowed slightly and saluted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't be polite. Your Majesty knows that the princess and the prince and his entourage are coming to the capital today, so he specially asked his servants to wait here. He said if there is anything that the prince and his entourage need to buy, the servants and others will also come to help.
One or two.”
"I don't dare to take it seriously."
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly waved his hand, "This time, I have brought all the furniture from Shuntian Mansion. There is nothing missing. Please tell me a few words when my father-in-law comes back. Gao Chi thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness on behalf of his mother. Your Majesty, the Emperor, bows to Jin'an."
.”
"It should."
The young eunuch smiled again, "Just now, the slaves and servants saw the King of Gaoyang County running so fast, and it seemed that he missed King Yan very much. King Yan was currently in the palace to meet the emperor. His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, will return to the house first. King Yan will come later.
It’s time to go back.”
Zhu Gaochi was a little embarrassed, "I made my father-in-law laugh."
Several eunuchs then turned and left.
When Zhu Gaochi and his entourage arrived home, Zhu Gaoxu was carrying a jug of wine and started drinking.
"It's too slow."
Xu Yihua was very worried about her second son, so she went into the inner house with a cold face, leaving Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui behind.
Zhu Gaosui sat down next to Zhu Gaoxu, grabbed the wine bottle and took a big sip, "The cold in Jiangnan is really uncomfortable."
Although it's freezing cold in Shuntian, it's not like Nanjing, where it's so cold that it bites into your bones and you can't protect yourself no matter how much you wear.
"Brother, do you want to take a sip to ward off the cold?"
Zhu Gaochi didn't have time to deal with two singles. He first settled down with his wife, and then began to greet a group of servants to unload the furniture.
Zhu Gaoxu muttered again, "With so much leisure to do all day long, a grown-up man only knows how to do such trivial things." After speaking, he took another sip of wine.
It can be seen that the Yanwang family plans to live in Nanjing for a long time this time. They have even installed several tables and chairs made of good materials, as well as many books and cultural toys.
Zhu Neng, who was responsible for guarding the road, and a group of soldiers were stopped outside the city, so it took Zhu Gaochi more than an hour to finish the moving work. Just as Zhu Di was returning home, the two of them bumped into each other.
.
"Son, meet your father."
Before Zhu Gaochi could kneel down, Zhu Di had already strode into his arms and said, "My good son, why have you lost a lot of weight now?"
After all, he was his own father. Zhu Gaochi initially sent Zhu Di away as if he were sending him away. He couldn't calm down for a month and a half. He had to worry about the future of the whole family. He suffered day and night and couldn't eat. How could he not lose weight? Until
It was only after the imperial decree came down that I felt at ease, but it was difficult to lose weight, so I started to restrict my diet.
On the contrary, Zhu Di had eaten well and slept soundly in Nanjing all day, and he didn't have to go to the military camp all day long, so his skin was much moisturized.
Zhu Gaochi giggled twice and accompanied Zhu Di into the front hall. The two brothers, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, were both drunk at the moment, and they were holding hands and talking with their mouths full of um, ah, this is it.
"Hey!"
Zhu Di was so angry that he walked over and slapped each person on the back of the head.
The two of them were also generous, and they didn't panic when they saw Zhu Di. They were getting excited about drinking, so they couldn't stop drinking, so they took Zhu Di's hand and said, "Dad, sit down and drink quickly to celebrate that you are still alive."
Zhu Di gnashed his teeth fiercely and said, "I can see that, except for Gao Chi, you two are probably living a very carefree life these days. What's the matter? You are hoping that I will die soon. You can let the birds fly when the sky is good."
Bar."
As he said this, Zhu Di pulled Zhu Gaochi to sit down. Like father, like son. Zhu Di was not the kind of person who followed all rules. Except that Zhu Gaochi had stayed with Emperor Taizu for many years, so he did everything according to rules.
Behave yourself and be polite in everything you do.
The four men didn't care about the women in the back house, so they just ordered some roast chickens and geese to be prepared, made a few jars of wine and started drinking.
"Dad, what is the chief of general staff?"
Zhu Gaoxu was drunk and said, "Which one of you is older, you or my uncle?"
"Nonsense, of course dad is older."
Zhu Gaosui burped from wine, "Five, there are ten governors in the Fifth Army Commandery Office. My father is the only chief of staff in the General Staff Office. Haven't you heard that all military orders in the world come from the General Staff Office? Yes, what is it called?
Here we are, the Grand Marshal of the world’s soldiers and horses!”
"Very good."
Zhu Gaoxu jumped up in shock and waved his hand, "Dad, if you are the general marshal, give your son the title of deputy marshal. Tomorrow we will order a million-strong army, and our son will be the vanguard. Let's go for the Northern Expedition, the Northern Expedition! What about Wala, Tatar?"
Damn it, let’s conquer the grassland and kill them all, avenge the blood feud of the nation and fulfill grandpa’s wish during his lifetime, burp.”
Zhu Gaochi was stunned immediately.
His younger brother doesn't seem to be in trouble at all.
Maybe Zhu Gaojiu was naughty by nature, he didn't read and was rude, and his mind was full of fighting and killing all day long. But in his heart, he could at least remember the national feud, unlike those scholars who healed their scars and forgot about the pain, sages and saints.
After reading so many books, I even lost my ancestors.
It is the uneducated and vulgar warriors like Zhu Gaoxu who hold up the country and the nation, not the chattering and unrestrained people outside the mansion.
The business girl didn't know the hatred of her country's subjugation, but she still sang the song of the backyard flowers across the river. I accidentally wandered into a clean book, and the comment section was full of slanderers. What kind of truth is said to be a thief. Don't use it as a knife to cut yourself or your loved ones.
It turns out that we can really forgive everything. An uneducated and low-quality person like the author can only silently recite Mr. Zhou's words, "Those who hurt other people's teeth but oppose retaliation and advocate tolerance must not be with them."
