The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

A few months later, Zhu Di decided to lead his army across the river.

Before Zhu Di crossed the river, the Nanjing court sent someone to ask for peace, but he refused.

Zhu Di's army was approaching Nanjing day by day, which made the atmosphere of Nanjing court more and more tense.What caused the collapse of the Nanjing court the most was that the defender of Zhenjiang surrendered Zhu Di.

Before crossing the river to attack Nanjing, Zhu Di sent people back to Beiping Mansion to meet Daoyan.

Attacking Nanjing is a very important thing. Zhu Di wanted Daoyan to witness him enter Nanjing and sit on the throne.

Dao Yan didn't need Zhu Di to invite him, and Dao Yan was going to go south to see it with his own eyes.However, he has another plan.

Before going south to look for Zhu Di, he went to Yan Wangfu to meet Yan Wang, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Zhanji.

"Princess, Your Royal Highness, the poor monk hopes to take His Royal Highness to the south to meet the prince."

When Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi heard Dao Yan's words, both of them showed expressions of astonishment.

"Master, why do you want to bring Zhanji to the south?" Princess Yan disapproved, but she didn't immediately refuse, she wanted to know why Master Daoyan did this. "You also know that Zhanji is only three years old and can't afford to travel long distances."

Zhu Gaochi agreed with Yan Wangfei's words: "Yes, Zhanji is too young, how can he travel long distances south."

"Princess, Your Royal Highness, the prince is about to lead the army across the river to attack Nanjing, which is very important to the prince." Dao Yan naturally knew the concerns of Princess Yan and the others, he turned the beads in his hand and said, "And the whole world is watching With the prince."

Concubine Yan and Zhu Gaochi didn't quite understand Dao Yan's meaning, and they both expressed doubts: "Master, what do you mean?"

"The three real dragons that appeared in the sky above Yanwang's mansion before were all related to His Royal Highness." Dao Yan smiled slightly, and said meaningfully, "If the real dragon appeared in the sky before the prince attacked Nanjing, what does the princess think the world will think?"

Hearing Dao Yan's words, Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi instantly understood his intentions.

"Master, do you want to..."

Dao Yan nodded slightly: "Let the whole world witness the appearance of the real dragon." He added, "When the prince enters Nanjing and ascends the throne, and the real dragon appears in the sky, then the whole world will believe that the prince is the real dragon." The Son of Heaven, the real dragon, can stop the mouth of the world."

What he said was very reasonable, Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi were silent for a while.

Princess Yan naturally knew that Master Daoyan's arrangement was right, but she was really worried about Zhu Zhanji.

"Master, Zhanji is too young."

"Princess, the poor monk understands your worries, and the poor monk assures you that nothing will happen to His Highness." Dao Yan said resoundingly, "You also know that the poor monk is good at medicine, if the little Highness really falls ill on the way, the poor The monk can also heal. Besides, the poor monk deliberately made a fortunetory yesterday, and the little highness will go south with the poor monk very smoothly, and nothing will happen."

Princess Yan heard from Zhu Di that Master Daoyan's divination was not as good as Jin Zhong's, but it was also very accurate.Besides, Dao Yan knew Zhanji's importance to Zhu Di in his heart, and he would never dare to let Zhu Zhanji have an accident.

"Mother, the master will take good care of Zhanji." Zhu Gaochi was moved by Daoyan's words, and supported and agreed that he would take Zhu Zhanji to the south together.

Princess Yan thought for a while and said, "I am relieved to have a master taking care of Zhanji all the way. However, we have to ask Zhanji first if he is willing to go south." Although she knew that her grandson would definitely be willing to go south, Princess Yan decided to ask first Zhu Zhanji's will.

"Baihua, go and call Zhanji back."

Zhu Zhanji learned how to play the piano from his seventeenth grandfather in the courtyard of King Ning next door.

King Ning is not only proficient in temperament, but also good at various musical instruments, among which Guqin is the best.

Don't look at him as a fierce general on the battlefield before, in fact he is versatile.He can not only play the piano, but also compose music.

Zhu Zhanji often listened to King Ning playing the piano and thought it sounded good, so he worshiped his seventeenth grandfather as his teacher and learned how to play the piano from him.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji wanted to learn, King Ning was of course willing to teach him.

Zhu Zhanji is also very talented in rhythm, and he can learn a piece of music by learning it two or three times with King Ning.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was so talented, King Ning wished to teach him all he had learned in his life.

Seeing that Princess Yan called him, Zhu Zhanji followed Bai Hua back.

On the way back, Bai Hua told Zhu Zhanji the purpose of Dao Yan's coming to him.

As soon as he heard that he was going to Nanjing, Zhu Zhanji ran back happily.Before the others arrive, the voice arrives first.

"Grandma, I would like to go to Nanjing."

Princess Yan laughed and said, "You don't need to ask."

Zhu Zhanji ran in and didn't forget to salute first.At the beginning of this year, Princess Yan began to teach him various rules and etiquette, and he learned them very well.

"Your Highness, are you willing to go south with the poor monk to meet the prince?"

"Of course I am willing." Zhu Zhanji said excitedly, "1 are willing. When are we going to leave? Tomorrow?"

Seeing her impatient grandson, Princess Yan joked, "Why don't you leave now?"

"Okay, okay, grandma, help me pack my luggage."

Princess Yan laughed angrily, pointed at Zhu Zhanji and scolded with a smile: "Look at your anxious look."

"Zhanji, is that why you want to go south?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "Daddy, I don't want to go south, but I miss grandpa." Then, he stretched out two fingers, "Daddy, I haven't seen grandpa for almost two years, I almost forget grandpa What does it look like?"

Dao Yan smiled and said, "Your Highness is really filial."

Zhu Zhanji asked enthusiastically: "Master, when are we going to set off, and when can we see Grandpa?"

"Your Highness, we will set off the day after tomorrow and go south by boat." Considering Zhu Zhanji's young age, Dao Yan decided to go south by boat, "If the wind goes smoothly, we will arrive in Zhenjiang in half a month, and then we will be able to see the prince."

"I've never been on a boat before."

When Princess Yan heard what Zhu Zhanji said, she couldn't help feeling a little worried: "I don't know if Zhanji will get seasick."

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow I will take Zhan Ji to the boat to see if he gets seasick."

"I'm sure I won't get seasick." Zhu Zhanji suddenly felt that he should have been on a boat in his previous life, and he didn't get seasick.

Princess Yan said: "It's not up to you whether you get dizzy or not. Tomorrow you should go to the boat with your father."

"Okay, I'll try to take a boat ride tomorrow." After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, he urged Princess Yan, "Grandma, hurry up and pack my luggage."

"Okay, I'll pack your luggage for you."

"The poor monk wrote a letter to the lord, telling the lord that His Royal Highness will be with the poor monk." Dao Yan stood up and bowed to Princess Yan and the others, "Princess, Your Highness, Your Highness, the poor monk will take his leave first."

"Master walk slowly."

Zhu Gaochi personally sent Dao Yan to the gate of King Yan's Mansion: "Master, it is about Zhan Ji's safety, I will send guards to escort you south."

"His Royal Highness is here." After Dao Yan finished speaking, he got into the carriage.

Zhu Zhanji pushed Princess Yan to pack things for him, "Grandma, I'm going to take a boat for half a month, you must prepare more food for me, like dried meat, dried fruit, and snacks."

Princess Yan pinched Zhu Zhanji's nose lightly, and smiled helplessly: "You don't forget to eat when you go out, you are really a greedy little cat."

Zhu Zhanji said straightforwardly: "Grandma, I am a child now, I must eat more, so that I can grow taller and stronger."

"You are just greedy." Princess Yan said sharply.

"Grandma, remember to prepare books for me." Zhu Zhanji reminded, "It will take half a month to arrive, and I have to read and study."

"Remember to read, I thought you didn't want anything if you were happy." Seeing that her grandson did not forget to read and study when he went out, Princess Yan was very pleased.

"Grandpa said, you can't waste your studies." Zhu Zhanji said seriously, "I can't waste my studies just because I go out to play."

Princess Yan stopped her movements and reached out to touch Zhu Zhanji's small face.

"Grandma prepared a lot of books for you, okay?"

"Okay."

"Okay, grandma will help you prepare things, and you continue to learn piano from your seventeenth grandpa."

"Grandma, then I'm leaving." Zhu Zhanji bounced away, ran to the next yard, and immediately told King Ning that he was going south.

"The king wants to be with you."

"Grandpa Seventeen, I'm going to see Grandpa, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to see your grandfather too, and meet your other grandfathers by the way." King Ning said, with a look of nostalgia on his face, "I haven't been back to Nanjing for a long time."

"Grandpa Seventeen, you have to ask my grandma and dad to see if they agree with you."

"Okay, I'll ask my sister-in-law tonight. If my sister-in-law agrees, we'll go south together."

"Grandpa Seventeen, let's continue playing the piano."

In the evening, King Ning really asked Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi if they could let him go south together.

King Ning went south with him to take care of and protect Zhu Zhanji.Princess Yan and Zhu Gaochi did not object.

Zhu Panxuan had never been on a boat before, so he took a boat with Zhu Zhanji the next day to see if he would get seasick.Fortunately, both of them are in good health and neither suffer from seasickness.

Princess Yan and Zhang Mingzhen helped Zhu Zhanji prepare a lot of things.Zhu Gaochi arranged for many guards to send Zhu Zhanji and the others south.

On the day of going south, many ordinary people came to the pier to see off Zhu Zhanji and the others.

It wasn't until Zhu Zhanji and the others couldn't see the shadow of the boat that they were on that Princess Yan and the common people left.

A few days later, Zhu Di, who was far away in Zhenjiang, received a letter from Dao Yan, and learned that he was taking Zhu Zhanji to the south, and he was both happy and worried.

He quickly called Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng in, and asked them to arrange a team of soldiers to meet Zhu Zhanji and the others.

"Your Highness is coming?"

"Well, the master took his and is on the way to Zhenjiang now." Zhu Di said, "I am worried that they will be in danger on the way, so you choose an elite army to meet them."

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng said in unison: "My lord, my subordinates are willing to pick up His Highness."

"You two can't go together, someone has to stay in Zhenjiang."

"I go!"

"I go!"

"Old Zhang, don't rob me, I'll go."

"Zhu Neng, don't rob me, I'll go."

As the two talked, they quarreled.

Zhu Di saw that the two capable generals were blushing and thick necks arguing to meet their grandson, so he said helplessly and amusedly: "You two guess the game, whoever wins will go."

As a result of the boxing game, Zhang Yu won.

Unconvinced by the defeat, Zhu Neng wanted to guess again with Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu ignored him.

After Zhang Yu saluted Zhu Di, he went to choose someone to pick up His Highness with him.Unwilling to give up, Zhu Neng has been clinging to him, begging Zhang Yu to give him the opportunity.Zhang Yu ignored him, chose a good person that afternoon, and then went to pick up Zhu Zhanji by boat.

When Zhu Zhanji went south, Zhu Di asked Zhang Yu and the others to conceal it, so that no one else, especially the people of the Nanjing court, would know, otherwise Zhu Zhanji would be in danger.

Zhu Zhanji, who was cared by Zhu Di, had a great time on the boat.

In the morning, I study with Master Daoyan, in the afternoon I learn piano with King Ning, and in the evening I play adventure games with Zhu Panxuan on the boat.Sometimes, he would go fishing with King Ning during the day.

Perhaps because of the auspicious presence of Zhu Zhanji, they traveled southward very smoothly, and the speed of the boat was very good.Not only that, but no one had any idea of ​​their boat.

Zhang Yu and the others took the boat for five days and finally received Zhu Zhanji and the others.

"Your Highness has grown so big." Zhang Yu also didn't see Zhu Zhanji for a year or two, and he found that His Highness has really grown up a lot.He remembered that when they dispatched troops before, the little highness was just over a year old, a small lump, and now the little highness had grown to his thigh.

"General Zhang, have I only grown up?"

Zhang Yu was very alert: "Your Highness is beautiful again."

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he smiled with satisfaction: "You have vision."

"Your Highness, how is your journey, is there any accident?"

"We went very well and nothing happened."

Next, Zhang Yu briefly explained the current situation of Zhu Di's army to Zhu Zhanji and the others.

King Ning looked a little heavy: "It seems that Fourth Brother and the others will have a deadly battle."

"Don't worry, Your Highness King Ning, we will win in the end." No matter how many tens of thousands of troops the Nanjing court has, Zhu Di's army will not be afraid.Even if the last battle is to the end, Zhu Di's army will accompany him to the end.

King Ning smiled: "Fourth brother will succeed." After speaking, he saw that Zhang Yu had something to say to Dao Yan, so he took Zhu Zhanji and the others to leave first.

Zhang Yu did have something to tell Dao Yan, but it was Zhu Di who asked him to tell it.

King Ning took Zhu Zhanji and the others to the deck, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river.

"Zhan Ji, there will be a fierce battle next, are you afraid?"

"Grandpa Seventeen, I'm not afraid." Zhu Zhanji said seriously, "If I was afraid, I wouldn't come to grandpa."

Standing aside, Zhu Panxuan echoed, "I'm not afraid either." Zhan Ji was not afraid, and neither was he.

King Ning reached out and touched the heads of the two children, and said with a smile, "Both of you are brave children."

"Grandpa Seventeen, you haven't told us what's delicious or fun in Nanjing?"

"That's it."

"Your Seventeenth Grandpa, I don't know what delicious and fun things are in Nanjing now." Ning Wang sighed and said, "I haven't been to Nanjing for a long time, and I don't know much about Nanjing's affairs."

"Grandpa Seventeen, you can tell us what you liked to eat and play with when you were young."

"I can tell you about this."

Three days later, the boat Zhu Zhanji and the others arrived at Zhenjiang Wharf.

Zhu Di personally came to the pier to wait for his grandson early in the morning, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui also followed.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Di would send someone to ask when he could arrive.

Seeing Zhu Di's impatient look, Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes, and complained to Zhu Gaosui: "Do you think daddy is so good?"

"Second brother, it's not like you don't know that father has always liked Zhanji."

"No matter how much you like it, you don't have to come to pick it up at the dock yourself." Zhu Gaoxu glanced around and saw that there were all people.In addition to their army, there are also officials from Zhenjiang.In such a big battle, I thought they were picking up some important person, but I didn't expect it to be a little brat.

"So many of us are waiting to pick up a little brat at the pier. Daddy doesn't feel ashamed, but I feel ashamed."

"Second brother, since you feel ashamed, what are you doing here?"

"I... am I afraid of being told by my father?" Zhu Gaoxu's tone was a little timid.

"Since that's the case, second brother, why are you still making trouble, just wait obediently."

"I said third child, why are you so calm?" Zhu Gaoxu was full of dissatisfaction.

Zhu Gaosui smiled and said, "I really want to see Zhan Ji, after all, I haven't seen him for a year or two."

"You like that kid?" Zhu Gaoxu had an unbelievable expression on his face, "What's so good about that kid?"

"Zhanji is smart and well-behaved, he's pretty good." Apart from other things, just talk about Zhanji, who is really likable and hard to dislike.

"Third son, why are you just like your father?" Zhu Gaoxu felt that Zhu Gaosui should dislike Zhu Zhanji just like him, but he didn't expect Zhu Gaosui to like Zhu Zhanji, which made him feel betrayed.

"Second brother, do you dare to say this in front of father?"

Zhu Gaoxu immediately shut up.

At this moment, an unknown person called out, "The boat is coming."

Immediately, everyone's attention was diverted.

Zhu Di hurriedly stood up, walked to the shore, and stared at Yuanchuan's boat.

Zhu Zhanji and Ning Wang stood on the deck of the bow, staring straight ahead.After the boat got closer, they saw Zhu Di standing on the shore.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa!" Zhu Zhanji waved to Zhu Di who was standing on the shore not far away.

Hearing his grandson's voice, Zhu Di quickly waved his hands, and shouted loudly: "Zhan Ji! Zhan Ji! Zhan Ji!" There was no majesty of King Yan at all.
