My Daming New Empire

Although Zhu Di was furious, it was impossible to kill his son.So he had to cut off the two guards of King Han's Mansion, leaving only one of his three guards.He also sent his confidant eunuch Wang Yan to personally sit in the palace of the King of Han to guard Zhu Gaoxu.

Wang Yan is Zhu Di's number one confidant, in charge of the Rites and Superintendent, with power in the field and in the field.In addition, this person is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is not afraid of Zhu Gaoxu at all, so Zhu Gaoxu became honest.

It wasn't until the new year that Zhu Zhanji took Zhang and the others back to the palace. Not only did they have to prepare for the New Year, they received farm gifts, and they also worshiped their ancestors.

After three days of busy work, Zhu Zhanji took care of business and farm affairs.

On the 29th of the new year, Zhu Di took his prince Zhu Gaochi, grandson Zhu Zhanji, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui who came back from Beiping to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum Zhu Yuanzhang’s tomb to worship the ancestors.

After Zhu Gaosui returns this time, the fiefdom will also change.It will be moved from Beiping to Zhangde Mansion.

Zhangde Mansion, also known as Anyang in later generations, is actually not bad at all compared to the current Beiping, and it is closer to Yingtian Mansion.

Zhu Gaosui, who was obsessed with doing business, had no opinion at all. He even wanted to find a fief in Jiangnan, even if it wasn't a big state, just a small county would do.

But Zhu Di did not allow it. The entire Jiangnan area was regarded as the permanent private land of the direct lineage of the royal family. This rich land will not be canonized by any royal family in the future.

It is also because the current Ningbo Shipbuilding Department is under the control of Zhu Zhanji, so the current Zhu Gaosui has a friendly attitude towards Zhu Zhanji, and he is a bit fawning.

Less than ten days after Zhu Zhanji returned to the capital, Zhu Gaosui visited the door twice in person and sent people to give gifts three times.

His attitude also made Zhu Gaoxu more dissatisfied, and then he didn't have a good face towards this younger brother.

The convoy stopped at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, and everyone had to walk up the mountain.It doesn't matter to anyone else, even a group of children over five years old of the three brothers don't care about the mountain road.

But this will kill Zhu Gaochi.

He has a puffy body, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and he also has sores on his feet, which makes him unable to walk, so he usually sits on a shoulder chariot.

Now I can't sit down, so I can only take pictures of four strong eunuchs following him, in groups of two, holding his armpits in turn, letting his feet land on the mountain.

Prince Zhu Gaochi was at the front, followed by Zhao Wang and Han Wang, and Zhu Zhanji led the third generation and followed them.

Old Zhu's family has reached Zhu Zhanji's generation, and now there are quite a few brothers, and there are already more than a dozen of them who are over five years old.Although they were young, they were born in the royal family, and each of them was sensible very early.

At this time, when I came to worship at Xiaoling, no one complained of suffering or tiredness.

Walking to the middle of the mountain, Zhu Gaochi's two legs were almost dragging on the ground, often slipping.Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said: "The predecessors lost their way, and the descendants know the police."

This is to make fun of Zhu Gaochi through the slippage of Zhu Gaochi's soles.

Of course Zhu Zhanji would not let him make fun of him, and said in response: "The future generations will know the police."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head abruptly and looked at Zhu Zhanji. Although he still had a smile on his face, his eyes were fierce.

Of course Zhu Zhanji was not afraid of his eyes, and reached out to pat the air in front of him. "It's winter, and there are ladybugs flying around."

Although Zhu Gaoxu was rude, he also knew that Zhu Zhanji was using the topic to satirize himself.

He laughed and said, "I never noticed that Zhanji is so old."

Zhu Zhanji shrugged and said: "Uncle Han Wang pays attention to the important affairs of the court all day long, so why would he care about me, a child?"

"It's not young anymore, it's 17 years old..." He suddenly froze, the smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes became more fierce. "It's you……"

Zhu Zhanjiyun said lightly: "What is Uncle Han Wang talking about? Why can't I understand..."

He stood two steps higher than Zhu Zhanji, stared at Zhu Zhanji condescendingly, lowered his voice and said, "It's you, what happened last month was caused by you?"

Of course Zhu Zhanji would not admit it in front of him, and said: "Uncle Han Wang, don't delay any longer. The chiefs of the Ministry of Rites are still waiting for us. It would be bad if we missed the auspicious time."

He saw a group of nephews and nephews behind Zhu Zhanji, and they all looked at him with some fear. He woke up and moved away. "You guys go up first, I'll have a few words with your grandson brother!"

It's not that he didn't doubt Zhu Zhanji before, but this matter was done so cleanly and neatly. In the end, he put his suspicious eyes on Zhu Di, because only he can make this matter so that people can't catch it beginning and end.

That's why he deliberately and recklessly acted in the mansion, just to anger Zhu Di.Since you don't care about my son, my son deliberately opposes you.

But thinking about it now, if Zhu Di wants to deal with him, there is no need to tarnish his reputation, because to tarnish his reputation is to discredit the royal family.

Now he puts his suspicious eyes on Zhu Zhanji, and the more he thinks about it, the more certain he becomes. "That villain Ji Gang has taken refuge in you, right? With Jin Yiwei's help, you can blame Zhou Xun in the Ministry of Punishment!"

Zhu Zhanji asked: "What is Uncle Han Wang talking about? Are you talking about Zhou Xun's murder of Wang Lian? Why didn't the people from the Ministry of Punishments do it themselves?"

"impossible!"

Zhu Zhanji's eyes were fixed, and then he laughed. "Uncle Han Wang is so sure, could it be said that Liu Guan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, belongs to you?"

Liu Guan and Zhu Zhanji have long been disgusted with this. The general atmosphere in the current court is relatively good.But no matter how good the atmosphere is, there will inevitably be some black apples.

Like Fang Bin, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Liu Guan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, are the two largest corrupt officials in the civil service system of the imperial court.

He can't participate in government affairs, so even if he knows this, he doesn't have the right to report to Zhu Di, otherwise he has ulterior motives.

Now that you know that Liu Guan is a member of the King of Han, don't blame him for doing the trick.

Chapter 88 Chinese New Year

In front of his nephew who was younger than himself, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't hold back his face because he made a slip of the tongue and exposed his biggest secret now. "Wang Lian is locked up in the Criminal Department. How could the people in the Criminal Department do anything? As for Liu Guan, he doesn't dare to lean on me, a prince who has lost power. Even if I want to win him over, there is nothing I can do!"

Although Zhu Gaoxu denied it, Zhu Zhanji affirmed it more and more.If the two hadn't colluded, why would he speak for Liu Guan?

Zhu Zhanji felt that he had underestimated this Uncle Wang, but since he had already known the secret, and now he was forced to fief the land, Zhu Zhanji didn't think he could cause any disturbance.

He cupped his hands and said, "My nephew is not interested in these things either. Now my nephew's experience is all about rectifying the navy and going overseas to expand territory. As for the affairs of the court, my nephew doesn't care about it, and I don't want to care about it."

Hearing what Zhu Zhanji said, Zhu Gaoxu was a little uncertain again.In his mind, this nephew, just like himself, has been advocating learning martial arts since he was a child, and he is also extremely brave in this battle.

He doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court, including the globe that he made, and it is very possible that he yearns for a mysterious world other than Ming Dynasty.

Such a person can really subdue Ji Gang, an old fox?Can the royal father really tolerate all this?

Now, he feels that the capital is a huge net, and everything here is restricted, and there are constraints everywhere. Maybe, if you go to the fiefdom, you may be more free!

However, before he left, he threatened again. "Don't let me know that you did these things. Even if you are my nephew, I will teach you a lesson."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't have this chance."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to tear his face seriously, neither did he.No matter how fierce the family fights, they dare not really let it go.

Confucianism has been integrated into the thinking of all people, and the taboo of human relations is a taboo that most people dare not surpass.

Unless, like Zhu Di, he is determined to rebel, that's another matter.

Except for this episode, Zhu Zhanji and Han Wang, the uncle and nephew, still kept their faces.After paying homage to Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Xu's tomb in Xiaoling Mausoleum, everyone returned to the palace. Today, the palace held a family banquet in the Jinshen Hall, which can be regarded as the royal family's reunion dinner.

During the dinner, Zhu Di seldom talked with the adults, but instead focused on a group of grandchildren.Except for Zhu Zhanji, he almost forgot who the other grandsons were, so he asked them one by one and encouraged them respectively.

A group of little fellows were appreciated and received rewarding gifts, plus there were few restrictions during the Chinese New Year, and they were all very happy.
