The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Zhanji tilted his head and said, "No." Although he often dreamed about his great-grandfather and the others, it was not every day.

"Did you really not dream about it?" Zhu Di said, "Think about it carefully."

Zhu Zhanji really thought about it seriously, then shook his little head and said, "I didn't dream about my great-grandfather." Although he sometimes forgot most of the content of the dream when he woke up, he wouldn't forget anything.

Hearing what his grandson said, Zhu Di was disappointed.

"Tell grandpa, what did you dream about great-grandfather and great-grandfather?"

"Great-grandfather and great-grandfather told me stories, and they also told me about your childhood, grandpa. Grandpa said that you were naughty when you were young..." Zhu Zhanji remembers the scandal of his grandfather very clearly.

Zhu Di didn't expect that after so many years, he could still hear his elder brother talk about his scandals when he was a child, and his heart felt a little sad.

Zhu Zhanji said, and found that his grandfather's eyes were red, and his expression was very sad.He raised his hand to touch Zhu Di's rough face, and asked with concern: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you, are you going to cry?"

"Grandpa is missing your great-grandfather and great-grandfather." Zhu Di admired and liked his elder brother Zhu Biao very much since he was a child.Zhu Biao is also very caring for his younger brother.At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was busy fighting and was not at home all year round. Zhu Biao helped Queen Ma take care of his younger brothers.

For the big brother Zhu Biao, Zhu Di and his group of younger brothers respect him very much.Back then, when Zhu Biao died of illness, Zhu Di and the others were very sad.

When Zhu Biao died of illness, Zhu Di was in Nanjing, where he saw his elder brother for the last time and gave him a ride.However, when Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, Zhu Di did not see the last side.At that time, Emperor Jianwen did not allow the princes to return to Beijing to worship.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, the father, Zhu Di admired him very much, but at the same time he was very afraid of him.Ever since he decided to send troops, he has been restless in his heart.This uneasiness is not fear of the Nanjing court, but fear of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di often dreamed back in the middle of the night, dreaming that Zhu Yuanzhang was yelling at him, calling him a beast who dared to take away his nephew.Sometimes I dreamed that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to kill him, saying that without his son, he would not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave a hundred years later.This made him wake up in fright every time, and he was covered in cold sweat after waking up.

He never told anyone about these things, not even Princess Yan.He didn't dare to say it, saying it meant he was afraid and guilty.

Before returning to Beiping, Zhu Di dreamed of Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanding him again.In his dream, he argued with Zhu Yuanzhang that Zhu Yunzhang was not worthy of being an emperor, and that Zhu Yunzhang would destroy the country that Zhu Yuanzhang had worked so hard to build.

He also dreamed that Zhu Yuanzhang scolded him, which made Zhu Di feel more uneasy, so he decided to go back to Beiping to see Daoyan.

When Zhu Di came back and heard that Zhu Zhanji dreamed of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, he was naturally very shocked and pleasantly surprised.

Knowing that in the dream, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao told Zhu Zhanji about their wars in the past, which made Zhu Di's panic a lot less.

"Then the next time I dream about great-grandfather and great-grandfather, I will tell them that grandpa misses them."

Thinking of what he was doing now, Zhu Di felt ashamed to see Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, so he hesitated and said to Zhu Zhanji, "Don't tell great-grandfather and others that I miss them."

"Why, grandpa, don't you miss great-grandfather and great-grandfather very much?" Zhu Zhanji asked with a puzzled face.

Bitterness filled Zhu Di's heart. He reached out and touched his grandson's little head and said, "Grandpa..." Zhu Di didn't know what to say to Zhu Zhanji, so he could only say, "Zhanji, promise Grandpa, don't give up on your grandson with your great-grandfather." Mention grandpa in front of grandpa, okay?"

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Di, and saw fear, anxiety and struggle in his grandfather's eyes.

"Okay." His grandfather was "guilty" and dared not face his great-grandfather and great-grandfather.

"However, if you dream of great-grandfather and great-grandfather again in the future, you must tell grandpa, okay?"

"Okay." Just as Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, it suddenly occurred to him that his grandfather is a busy man, and he will only stay for a few days when he comes back this time, and he will leave again in a few days. "Grandpa, don't you want to go out to fight? I dreamed about my great-grandfather and great-grandfather. How can I tell you?"

"You can ask grandma to write a letter to grandpa."

"Okay, I'll have grandma write and tell grandpa."

"Zhanji is so good, grandpa will take you to eat."

Today's breakfast is old duck soup porridge.

Zhu Di personally fed his grandson porridge.However, since he hasn't fed his grandson for several months, King Yan's movements are a little rusty.Fortunately, he quickly became proficient.

"Zhanji, is it delicious?"

Zhu Zhanji was sitting on a chair, shaking his little head and his short legs, looking very happy: "It's delicious." Although there is no salty taste, the taste is still very delicious. After all, this old duck has been stewed all night. , the stew was very tasty, and the stew was also very bad.

Zhu Di squatted in front of his grandson, without any image of King Yan, and fed Zhu Zhanji to continue eating porridge very gently.

"Eat more if it's delicious."

"Grandpa, take a bite too. It's delicious." He Zhu Zhanji is a filial child, and he will never forget his grandpa when he has delicious food. Also deliberately greedy him.

"Okay, okay, grandpa will take a bite too." Zhu Di took a bite and found that the taste was really good, "It's really delicious."

Princess Yan, who was sitting by the side, said, "This old duck soup has been stewed for a long time, so the taste is naturally not bad."

Zhu Zhanji pointed to the porridge in Zhu Di's hand, and said to Princess Yan: "Grandma, I will eat this porridge tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll let you eat it tomorrow." Seeing that her grandson likes to eat old duck soup porridge, Princess Yan was also happy.

While feeding his grandson porridge, Zhu Di wiped the corners of Zhu Zhanji's mouth.

Zhu Zhanji eats porridge full of rice grains, sometimes on the tip of his nose.

When Zhu Gaochi came to see Zhu Di, he saw his father squatting on the ground with a very kind expression and a very gentle tone coaxing his son to eat.This scene really shocked him, he had never seen his father so gentle, his father had never squatted in front of them and fed them himself.

Zhu Zhanji saw Zhu Gaochi, raised his little hand and waved to him, and called him sweetly: "Daddy."

"Hey!" His son looks so good-looking.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly saluted Zhu Di and Yan Wangfei: "I have seen my father, I have seen my mother."

Seeing the eldest son coming, Zhu Di's face was much colder than before.

"My lord, you and Gao Chi have something to say, let me feed Zhanji."

Zhu Di refused, "Wait until I finish feeding Zhanji."

Zhu Gaochi sat on the side obediently, waiting for his father to finish feeding Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji looked at his father and then at his grandfather. He found that his father was very obedient and nervous in front of his grandfather.

Seeing his grandson looking at his eldest son, Zhu Di felt a little unhappy, so he stretched out his hand and squeezed Zhu Zhanji's pretty face: "Eat well, don't look around."

"Oh." Zhu Zhanji didn't look at his father, and obediently opened his mouth to eat the porridge fed by his grandfather.

After feeding Zhu Zhanji and eating porridge, Zhu Di carefully fed him some warm water before leading Zhu Gaochi to the study.

When Zhu Gaochi was about to leave, he looked at Princess Yan begging for help.

Princess Yan understood, and nodded to her eldest son reassuringly.

"Zhanji, do you want to go out to bask in the sun with grandma?"

"Okay, sunbathing."

Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining, and the sun is very warm on the body.

Zhu Zhanji was hugged by his grandma for a while, and then kicked his calves to walk on the ground.

Princess Yan had no choice but to follow him, supporting him as he walked with both hands.

Zhu Zhanji had just practiced walking for a while when he heard his grandfather scolding his father loudly.To be precise, it was a roar.

Princess Yan frowned when she heard Zhu Di's roar, and then saw her grandson's expression was a little confused, thinking that he was frightened by Zhu Di, she hugged him and patted him on the back lightly: "Zhanji, you're scared, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

"Grandma, what's wrong with grandpa?" What did his father say that made his grandpa so angry, "Why is grandpa so fierce, so scary."

"Grandma, go and have a look and let Bai Hua help you walk, okay?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded lightly and said, "Okay." After finishing speaking, he reached out and grabbed Princess Yan's sleeve, "Grandma, tell Grandpa not to be fierce, I'm afraid."

"Grandma told Grandpa not to be fierce." Princess Yan was very angry when she saw that Zhu Di got angry with the eldest son as soon as he came back.Now seeing Zhu Di scaring his precious grandson again, he felt even more unhappy. "Baihua, take good care of Zhanji."

"Yes, princess." Bai Hua stretched out her arms to hug Zhu Zhanji, "Your Highness, let me help you walk."

"it is good."

Princess Yan walked towards the study angrily, approached the study and heard that Zhu Di was still reprimanding Zhu Gaochi, she walked over and pushed open the door of the study.

Zhu Di was teaching his eldest son a lesson when the door of the study was pushed open with a "bang", which startled him.He was just about to reprimand the person who pushed the door, when he raised his eyes to see Princess Yan, he swallowed the reprimand.

Seeing Princess Yan's angry face, his heart skipped a beat.

"Princess, why are you here?"

Princess Yan walked in front of Zhu Di, and said with a cold face: "Zhu Di, if you scare my grandson into sickness, I will never end with you."

"Ah?" Zhu Di looked blank, "Princess, what are you talking about?"

"You scared Zhan Ji by yelling just now." Princess Yan put her hands on her hips and glared at Zhu Di angrily. .”

"Zhan Ji scared?" Zhu Di suddenly became nervous, "I'm going to see Zhan Ji."

Princess Yan grabbed Zhu Di: "You scared him just now, if you go to see him now, it will only scare him even more."

"This king's fault, this king shouldn't have been so loud just now."

"Zhu Di, what can't you tell Gao Chi properly? You insist on yelling." Princess Yan was very angry, "Gao Chi is your son, not your soldier."

"I……"

Just as Zhu Di was about to say something, Princess Yan interrupted: "You got angry as soon as you came back, what do you mean, are you dissatisfied with Gao Chi, or are you dissatisfied with me?"

"Princess, I am not dissatisfied with you."

"Then you are dissatisfied with Gao Chi." Princess Yan said coldly, "I see that you dislike Gao Chi so much, you might as well beat Gao Chi to death, lest Gao Chi hinder your eyes and make you go to war every time you come back. "

Zhu Di was startled by Princess Yan's words: "Princess..."

Princess Yan picked up the inkstone on the desk and said to Zhu Gaochi: "Gaochi, your father doesn't like you, so I will beat you to death today, lest you make him unhappy."

"mother……"

Zhu Di hurriedly grabbed Princess Yan: "Princess, that's not what I meant." After finishing speaking, he said to Zhu Gaochi, "You go down first." This time his tone was very gentle, and he completely lost the anger just now.

Zhu Gaochi knew that his mother was acting, so he obeyed Zhu Di's words and withdrew.

After the eldest son left, Zhu Di hurriedly apologized to Princess Yan for his mistake: "Princess, I was wrong. You can beat or scold if you want, but don't be angry with yourself."

"I'm sorry, my lord. I gave birth to your eldest son who dissatisfied you. I deserve death. I will kill Gao Chi first, and then I will kill myself, so that our mother and son won't get in your way again."

"Princess, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't get angry with Gao Chi as soon as I came back, let alone scare Zhan Ji." Zhu Di was frightened by Princess Yan's words, "Princess, hit me."

"I dare not."

"Princess, I was really wrong."

Next, Zhu Di acted like a baby and begged Princess Yan for forgiveness.

Concubine Yan accepted it as soon as she was good, and didn't frighten Zhu Di any more.

Seeing that Princess Yan finally calmed down, Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief.He was worried about Zhu Zhanji, comforted Princess Yan, and hurried to see his grandson.

When Zhu Zhanji saw his grandfather, he deliberately showed a look of fear, and hid in Bai Hua's arms.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Di felt very distressed, and at the same time regretted and blamed himself very much.

"Zhanji, can grandpa hug you?"

Zhu Zhanji poked his head out of Bai Hua's arms, and looked at Zhu Di timidly: "Grandpa is fierce, I'm afraid."

Zhu Di tried his best to put on a kind and friendly face, and his tone was so gentle that water dripped out.

"Zhanji, grandpa won't kill you."

To be honest, his grandpa is even scarier now.

Bai Hua was startled by Zhu Di's "gentle as water" look: Is this really a prince?

"Grandpa really doesn't hate me?" Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Di timidly, with fear in his tone, "Grandpa, won't you yell at me?"

"No, we Zhanji are so good, how could grandpa attack you." Zhu Di has never smiled so kindly in his life, "Grandpa promises you that he will never attack you or yell at you."

Zhu Zhanji stared suspiciously at his grandfather with big black eyes: "Really?"

"Really, grandpa promises you." Zhu Di didn't expect him to scare his precious grandson by yelling at his eldest son, "Grandpa hug you, okay?"

Zhu Zhanji didn't say a word and agreed, but stared at Zhu Di.

Seeing that his grandson was still afraid of him, Zhu Di felt very regretful and at the same time very helpless, so he had no choice but to look to Princess Yan for help.

Concubine Yan glanced at Zhu Di gloatingly, and said in a low voice, "You deserve it."

Zhu Di said pitifully: "Princess..." This "Princess" was full of prayers.

"Zhanji, grandma assures you that grandpa will not kill you."

Zhu Zhanji looked at Princess Yan, then at Zhu Di, and finally decided to believe his grandmother's words, and stretched out his hands to his grandfather.

Seeing this, Zhu Di was overjoyed, and quickly hugged Zhu Zhanji, then lowered his head and rubbed his grandson's face.

"Zhanji, grandpa is not good, grandpa just scared you." Never yell at your eldest son in front of your grandson in the future.

"Grandpa, why were you so fierce just now?" In the past few months, his father had been diligently guarding Beiping Mansion and Prince Yan Mansion, and he had done nothing wrong.As soon as his grandfather came back, he picked on his father and yelled at his father. It seemed that his grandfather had listened to the bad words of the second uncle and the third uncle.

"It's nothing, grandpa won't be so fierce in the future." After being scolded by Princess Yan, Zhu Di felt a little regretful and a little guilty.

"really?"

"Really, grandpa will never be so fierce in the future, so Zhanji, don't be afraid of grandpa, and don't let him hug you." Zhu Zhanji really scared Zhu Di when he saw Zhu Di's scared look just now. "Grandpa likes Zhanji the most. If Zhanji doesn't want grandpa, grandpa will be very sad." His tone was still cautious.

Zhu Di never said these words to Princess Yan.

"If grandpa is not fierce, I will let grandpa hug him." Zhu Zhanji said, stretching out his small hand to pinch Zhu Di's face, "If grandpa is fierce, I will not want grandpa."

Princess Yan echoed from the side: "Zhan Ji is right, if Grandpa is more aggressive in the future, we will not want him."

"Grandpa will never be fierce again." Zhu Di almost raised his hand to swear.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Then I want grandpa."

Zhu Di was instantly healed by his grandson's cute smile, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Grandpa's good grandson." After speaking, he kissed his grandson's face vigorously, and then picked up his grandson to play high-lifting games. high.

Zhu Zhanji was so amused that he couldn't stop giggling.

The child's laughter is cute and sweet, which makes people feel better when they hear it.

Concubine Yan was worried that Zhu Zhanji was really scared by Zhu Di, so she said to Zhu Di: "My lord, take Zhanji to Qingshou Temple to find the master, and ask the master to show Zhanji."

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately stopped the movements in his hands, and asked with a puzzled face, "What do you want Master to show Zhan Ji?"

"I'm afraid that Zhanji will be really frightened. You can ask the master to show Zhanji." It is not a trivial matter for a child to be frightened. It can range from illness to death.

Hearing what Princess Yan said, Zhu Di immediately became nervous.

"Okay, I'll take Zhanji to find the master right away." After speaking, he took Zhu Zhanji to Qingshou Temple.

Zhu Zhanji was still young, so Zhu Di had to take him to Qingshou Temple in a carriage.

Dao Yan had been waiting for Zhu Di, and when he saw Zhu Di coming, he rushed up to greet him.

Before returning to Beiping, Zhu Di also wrote a letter to Daoyan.

"I've seen..." Dao Yan was about to salute Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji when Zhu Di reached out to stop him.

"Master, please get up." Zhu Di said hastily, "Master, show Zhanji quickly."

Seeing Zhu Di's anxious and worried expression, Dao Yan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

"Zhanji might have been frightened." Zhu Di told Dao Yan about what frightened Zhu Zhanji just now.

After Dao Yan listened, he carefully observed Zhu Zhanji's face, and didn't see anything unusual.

"Your Highness, can the poor monk hug you?"

"Yes." Zhu Zhanji agreed very readily this time.

Dao Yan hugged Zhu Zhanji carefully, then raised his hand and touched his little head, saying, "Amitabha."

Zhu Zhanji was not intimidated by Zhu Di.The reason why he pretended to be terribly frightened just now was to scare his grandfather, so that his grandfather would stop yelling at his father in the future.

However, being touched by Dao Yan on the head was quite comfortable.

Zhu Di stood aside and asked nervously, "Master, is Zhanji okay?"

Dao Yan smiled reassuringly at Zhu Di: "Don't worry, my lord, Your Highness is fine."

"Is it really okay?"

"My lord, if you are still worried, put the prayer beads that the poor monk gave to His Highness before His Highness's bed, so that His Highness will not have nightmares when he sleeps at night."

"My king knows." Zhu Di hugged Zhu Zhanji from Daoyan's arms.

"My lord, let's go in and talk."

"Master, please."

Zhu Di followed Dao Yan to the study.He originally wanted to hug Zhu Zhanji, but as soon as Zhu Zhanji arrived in the study, he struggled to get out of his arms.He had no choice but to put down his grandson and let him crawl around in the study.

Zhu Zhanji crawled around in Dao Yan's study, looking around curiously.

Dao Yan's study room is very simple, without any furniture, only a few rows of floor cabinets, filled with books.

Zhu Zhanji looked at it and found that in addition to the scriptures, there were four books, five classics and some other books.

While drinking tea, Zhu Di talked to Dao Yan about the wars in the past few months.In fact, he wrote to Dao Yan about these things before.However, what was said in the letter was not specific.

Dao Yan listened very carefully and said a few words from time to time.

Zhu Zhanji got tired of crawling in the study for a while, crawled back into his grandpa's arms, and played with the dragon on his grandpa's clothes.

As a prince, Zhu Di had a dragon on his clothes, but it was a five-clawed dragon.

Zhu Zhanji was bored, so he picked the five-clawed dragon on his grandfather's clothes.

Zhu Di was worried that his grandson would scratch his little hand, so every once in a while, he would lower his head to check Zhu Zhanji's little hand carefully.

Zhu Zhanji became sleepy after digging, and slowly fell asleep in Zhu Di's arms.As for the conversation between his grandfather and Dao Yan, he was not interested.

Zhu Di patted Zhu Zhanji's back lightly, and his voice when talking to Dao Yan became lighter.After waiting for a while, he put Zhu Zhanji on Dao Yan's bed.

After talking about the business with Dao Yan, Zhu Di then talked about Zhu Zhanji's dream of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

"Master, is it a coincidence that Zhanji dreamed about his father and elder brother, or..."

"My lord, of course it's not a coincidence. It's a coincidence to dream once or twice, but it's not good to dream often." Dao Yan turned the prayer beads in his hand and said to Zhu Di with a deep expression, "My lord, you dreamed about the first time before." The emperor handed you a big gui, and told you that the grandson passed down from generation to generation will be prosperous forever."

"Yes, this is the first time in so many years, and it is also the first time in my dream that my father didn't beat or scold me." Zhu Di didn't tell Princess Yan that he had a dream about Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanding him, but he told Princess Yan just now. Dao Yan said.In front of Dao Yan, Zhu Di dared to tell him the fear deep in his heart. "Since I sent troops, my father denied my son in the dream. I thought my father was against my sending troops, but I didn't expect Zhanji to dream of him too. Master, what does this mean?"

"My lord, the reason why you dreamed that the late emperor didn't recognize you was mainly because you felt ashamed of the late emperor. This is a dream that you think about day and night." Dao Yan comforted Zhu Xi in a warm voice, "My lord, You sent troops in accordance with the way of heaven, and you did nothing wrong, so don't feel sorry for the late emperor and Prince Yiwen."

"But..." It's not just guilt, it's more fear.Zhu Di is really his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The fact that the first emperor and Prince Yiwen went to look for your highness in their dreams can explain that both the first emperor and prince Yiwen have taken a fancy to your little highness, which means they admit that you are right to send troops." Dao Yan said, "If If you don't send troops, don't take that seat, how will your little highness be the emperor of Taiping in the future, and how will you achieve eternal prosperity."

"Really?" Actually, Zhu Di thought so too. "My father and elder brother really don't blame me?" He was reluctant to send troops before, not only because he didn't want to be called a traitor, but also because he was afraid that his father and elder brother would blame him.He was worried that after a hundred years, he would have no face to see his father and elder brother when he went underground.

Dao Yan knew in his heart that this was Zhu Di's heart disease, so he continued to persuade: "My lord, if the former emperor and Prince Yiwen really blamed you and hated you, they wouldn't let your highness dream of them, and they wouldn't tell your highness about your childhood."

"If dad and elder brother really don't blame me, why didn't they entrust me with a dream?"

"I'm afraid it will scare you." Dao Yan said.

"Is it really?"

"I should blame you a little bit, after all, Jianwen is their grandson and son, so it is impossible not to blame you at all." Dao Yan said, "However, the former emperor and Prince Yiwen should know that you are more suitable to be the master of Ming Dynasty than Jianwen. "

Zhu Di let out a long sigh: "Oh, father and elder brother should blame me."

"But the late emperor and the others won't blame you, so you don't have to worry too much." Dao Yan continued to comfort Zhu Di, "Your Highness's dream of the late emperor and the others is a good proof." Could it be that the late emperor and the others knew that the young highness knew it from birth, so That's why I went to find him in my dream?

Hearing Dao Yan's words, Zhu Di felt much more at ease.

"When I become the master of Daming, I must let the people of Daming live a better life and make Daming better." Zhu Di said very seriously, "In this way, I will have the face to see my father and elder brother in the future."

"The poor monk believes that the prince can do it."

"This king can definitely do it!" After Zhu Di said this, a smile appeared on his face, "After hearing what the master said, this king feels more at ease."

"My lord, if the poor monk says something outrageous and outrageous, you are really worrying too much."

"Hahahahaha..." Zhu Di laughed heartily, "Master, you are right, this king is too worrying."

"My lord, don't scare yourself in the future."

"Okay, I will never scare myself again in the future." His father and elder brother like Zhanji so much, he has nothing to be afraid of.

After talking about this, Zhu Di discussed the next battle with Dao Yan again.

Dao Yan has a good understanding of warfare and is also good at the art of war.His opinion is useful.

Dao Yan agreed with Zhu Di's plan to fight Daning.

"My lord, what if Nanjing sends people to attack Beiping while you are attacking Daning?"

"Master, Li Jinglong is nothing to be afraid of." Zhu Di knew Li Jinglong's ability very well, so he didn't take him seriously at all. "If Li Jinglong really sneaks into Beiping, I will bring troops back to rescue him."

"Li Jinglong has hundreds of thousands of troops. If he really attacks Beiping, I'm afraid..." Master Daoyan didn't finish his sentence, but his worry was obvious.

"Master, Li Jinglong and his army can't adapt to the cold weather in Beiping. As long as Gao Chi obeys the king's advice and sticks to the Beiping mansion, Li Jinglong will not be able to attack Beiping for a while. By then, the king will have brought his troops back. Beiping." After Zhu Di finished speaking, he frowned slightly and said, "Daning must be captured as soon as possible, otherwise the march will be very troublesome in the future."

In Zhu Di's view, it is more important to lead troops to attack Daning than to lead troops back to defend Beiping and Li Jinglong to attack.Besides, it is better to attack Daning sooner rather than later.

Seeing that Zhu Di had made up his mind, Dao Yan knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was useless, so he didn't say anything more.

"Since the prince has arranged everything, the poor monk can rest assured."

"Besides, Master, you are also staying in Beiping. If Li Jinglong really attacks Beiping, with your help Gao Chi, I will feel more at ease."

Being trusted so much by Zhu Di, Dao Yan was naturally happy, but also very moved.

"My lord, don't worry, the poor monk will assist the son to guard the Beiping Mansion."

"With Master here, I don't worry." Zhu Di finished talking about military affairs, and then asked Yan about the affairs of Beiping Mansion during this period.

As soon as Dao Yan heard Zhu Di's question, he knew what King Yan was thinking.He told Zhu Di honestly what happened in Beiping Mansion during this period.

"My lord, in order to appease the people of Beiping Mansion, the prince will patrol every day and care about the lives of the people. The people are very grateful to the prince." Dao Yan said again, "The hearts of the people have been soothed by the prince. In the past few months, Everything in Beiping Mansion is normal, and there is no panic."

Hearing what Dao Yan said, Zhu Di frowned even deeper.

Dao Yan saw Zhu Di's thoughts and said it directly: "My lord, the son is trying to appease people's hearts, not win them over." After speaking, he added, "The poor monk thinks that the son is doing a good job."

Hearing this, Zhu Di relaxed his frown.

"The master said so, the king will feel at ease."

"My lord, the son is very good." Dao Yan knew in his heart that Zhu Di was dissatisfied with Zhu Gaochi, but in his opinion, the son was really good, especially the son had a kind heart.

If it were someone else who spoke well of Zhu Gaochi in front of Zhu Di, Zhu Di would think that he was a supporter of Zhu Gaochi, which would make him unhappy.However, if the object is Dao Yan, Zhu Di will not be angry.

"Gao Chi he... this king..."

"My lord, the late emperor once praised the son for having a heart of benevolence and righteousness, which the Second Highness does not have." The Second Highness that Dao Yan said was Zhu Gaoxu. "To sit in that seat requires benevolent governance, so that the Ming Dynasty can usher in a prosperous age."

Zhu Di knew that what Dao Yan said made sense, but people's hearts were biased.All along, he liked Zhu Gaoxu very much and was dissatisfied with Zhu Gaochi.Let him suddenly change his attitude towards Zhu Gaochi, he can't do it.

"Actually, Gao Xu is not bad." He said this with a guilty conscience.

"The Second Highness is excellent in marching and fighting, but he doesn't have a heart of benevolence and righteousness for the people." Dao Yan took a deep look at Zhu Di, "My lord, the rules of the ancestors cannot be broken, especially at this time!"

Zhu Di sent troops to Fengtian Jingnan, in addition to eliminating treacherous officials, he also blamed Emperor Jianwen for not obeying the rules of his ancestors.If he disregards the ancestor's rules and abolishes Zhu Gaochi's heir, it will be slapping himself in the face.

"My king understands." Zhu Di really wanted to abolish Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son, but he knew that the eldest son could not be abolished.

"My lord, for the sake of your highness, you should be a little more lenient to your son." Princess Yan once said these words to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di could still listen to Dao Yan's words.

"This king understands."

"My lord..." Dao Yan changed the topic and talked about other things.

Zhu Di likes chatting with Dao Yan the most, because every time Dao Yan's words can speak to his heart.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Di was worried about his grandson, so he stood up and went to the next room to see if Zhu Zhanji was awake.In fact, Ma Sanbao was at Zhu Zhanji's bedside.If Zhu Zhanji wakes up, he will notify Zhu Di.

Zhu Zhanji slept soundly and showed no sign of waking up.

Ma Sanbao kept staring at Zhu Zhanji, and if His Highness kicked the quilt, he would immediately cover His Highness with the quilt.

Zhu Di looked at his grandson's cute sleeping face, and couldn't resist reaching out and gently touching Zhu Zhanji's little face.

He just stood up and was about to leave when he heard Zhu Zhanji calling: "Great-grandfather..."

Hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly widened his eyes, and immediately sat back on the bedside.

Zhu Zhanji pouted, and made a cute humming sound from his little mouth, and then said: "Great-grandfather..."

Zhu Di looked pensive, it seemed that Zhanji had dreamed about his father and the others again.

He sat by the bed for a while, but Zhu Zhanji stopped talking in his sleep.

In their sleep, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, and Zhu Biao were all sitting cross-legged on the ground.The little doll Zhu Zhanji sat between them.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da continued to tell Zhu Zhanji about their sending troops to fight back then.Zhu Biao echoed a few words from time to time.

Although Zhu Zhanji was young, he could understand what Zhu Yuanzhang and the others said.Zhu Yuanzhang and the others are not only talking about the previous wars, but also talking about other things with Zhu Zhanji, so that he can understand some truths from it.

After Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da finished talking to Zhu Zhanji about the war that year, the great grandfather Zhu Biao then taught Zhu Zhanji how to read.

Princess Yan has been teaching Zhu Zhanji's "Thousand Characters", and Zhu Biao taught Zhu Zhanji "The Analects" after learning about it.He first took Zhu Zhanji to read the content of "The Analects of Confucius" several times, then told him the meaning of this content very briefly, and then told him the historical stories about this content, so that Zhu Zhanji could understand At the same time, I find it very interesting.

Zhu Zhanji does not reject the fact that his grandfather taught him to read.When Zhu Biao was alive, he was taught by the great Confucianism invited by Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child. Although he was not a great Confucian, he still had a lot of learning and wealth.Furthermore, when he was the prince, he often helped Zhu Yuanzhang supervise the country or deal with political affairs.His teaching is better than that of Princess Yan.

Zhu Biao taught Zhu Zhanji with the easiest words, but it does not mean that the content he taught was superficial, on the contrary, the content he taught was very profound, which Princess Yan could not match.Another point is that when Zhu Biao taught Zhu Zhanji, he also taught some imperial power skills.However, Zhu Zhanji didn't notice it. After all, he was still too young to think of such a profound thing for the time being.

Since Zhu Zhanji was still young, Zhu Biao didn't teach him much, and generally only taught him one article.

After teaching, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da began to teach Zhu Zhanji to walk.

Zhu Yuanzhang squatted ten steps away, opened his hands and waited for Zhu Zhanji to walk towards him.

"Zhanji, come to great-grandfather."

Zhu Zhanji staggered towards Zhu Yuanzhang like a duckling.Halfway through, his body shook suddenly.

Seeing this scene, Xu Da, Zhu Biao and the others suddenly felt tense, and they unconsciously showed nervous and worried expressions on their faces.

Although Zhu Zhanji shook violently, he did not fall.He opened his small hands, tried hard to maintain his balance, and continued to walk towards Zhu Yuanzhang staggeringly.

When he walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he happily threw himself into the arms of his great-grandfather.

Zhu Yuanzhang hugged his great-grandson, bowed his head and kissed Zhu Zhanji's little face, and said proudly: "Our Zhanji is awesome!"

Zhu Zhanji raised his hand and patted Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder, and said in a childlike voice: "Great-grandfather, let me down, I will continue to walk." He felt that he was not far from being able to walk.

"Okay, okay." Zhu Yuanzhang put down Zhu Zhanji.

Xu Da clapped his hands to his great-grandson, and said lovingly, "Zhanji, come to great-grandfather."

"Okay." Zhu Zhanji clenched his little fist and said to Xu Da who was fifteen steps away, "Great-grandfather, wait for me."

"Great-grandfather is waiting for you, take your time, don't rush." ​​Xu Da said softly.

Zhu Biao on the side encouraged Zhu Zhanji and said: "Zhanji, Grandpa believes that you can go to great-grandfather."

Zhu Zhanji nodded vigorously, then staggered towards Xu Da with his short legs.

Xu Da and the others didn't dare to speak anymore, they all stared at Zhu Zhanji very nervously, worried that talking would distract him and make him fall.

When Zhu Zhanji walked in front of Xu Da, he was picked up by his great-grandfather and held high.

Xu Da kept praising Zhu Zhanji, which made Zhu Zhanji feel embarrassed.

"Father, Uncle Xu, Zhanji needs to rest well, we should go."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were very reluctant to part with Zhu Zhanji, but they also knew it was time to leave.

"Zhanji, let's go, you sleep well."?

Zhu Zhanji suddenly grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve, hesitated and asked: "Great-grandfather, my grandpa...
