The daily life of the great grandson of Ming Dynasty

The fact that Fang Xiaoru was almost killed by the ten clans made the ministers see Zhu Di's viciousness, although he was not punished by the ten clans in the end.At the same time, the ministers also understood that they must not offend the emperor like Fang Xiaoru did.

Before Fang Xiaoru, many people were punished by the Nine Clans.The fact that he was killed by the Jiu Clan was quickly forgotten, and no one cared, after all, to many people, he was not an important person.

After Fang Xiaoru was exterminated by the Nine Clans, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were arrested. Not only were the two exterminated by the Nine Clans, but their hands and feet were cut off, and they were almost turned into human pigs.

After Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were killed, Zhu Di announced that everyone on the "list of treacherous ministers" had been purged, and there would be no more treacherous ministers who deceived the Lord.

The ministers naturally clapped their hands and praised Zhu Di for being wise.

After solving the matter of the treacherous officials, the court was clear.In addition, the court has completely restored order.The ministers began to propose drafts to Zhu Di to enrich the harem.

When Zhu Di was the prince, there were not many concubines.Besides Empress Xu, there were three or four servants.These three or four people were not side concubines, and they had no status in the palace before.

Empress Xu originally planned to bring them to Nanjing, but Zhu Di refused.What Zhu Di meant was to let them stay in Yanwang Mansion, that is to say, Empress Xu is alone in the harem now.

Now that the ministers proposed drafting, Zhu Di naturally would not object.

Even if the ministers don't mention it, Empress Xu will also propose the draft to Zhu Di.

"Queen, you don't need to choose too many concubines for me." Zhu Di gently held Empress Xu's hands, and said in a gentle tone, "You can choose side concubines for Gao Chi and the others." Zhu Gaochi and his brothers only had one concubine. side concubine.

"Your Majesty, if you don't explain, I will also choose a side concubine for Gao Chi and the others." Empress Xu smiled softly, "Gao Chi and his three brothers will spread their branches for the royal family."

"That's right, you and I have the same grandson of Zhanji now." After Zhu Di finished speaking, he added, "However, one grandson of Zhanji is worth ten grandsons."

"Yes, yes, Zhan Ji is the best." Empress Xu looked at Zhu Di jokingly, "In a while, Gao Xu and Gao Sui's child will be born, do you still like Zhan Ji? After all, Gao Xu is Your favorite son?"

Hearing Empress Xu's eccentric tone, Zhu Di smiled helplessly and said, "Empress, are you mocking me?"

Empress Xu looked innocent: "Your Majesty likes Gao Xu the most. He used to always say that Gao Xu is the most like you. Before long, your favorite son will give birth to a grandson for you. Shouldn't you love your house?"

Zhu Di was embarrassed by Empress Xu's words: "Empress, you..."

"Isn't it? I always remember your Majesty's words. Your Majesty once complained that I was harsh on Gao Xu. Have you forgotten, Your Majesty?"

"Queen, are you going to settle an old score with me?"

"No, I'm worried that after Gao Xu's child is born, you will put Zhanji aside and only love Gao Xu's child." Empress Xu squinted at Zhu Di, "After all, Your Majesty loves Gao Xu the most."

"No, I will not not love Zhanji." Zhu Di said very seriously, "I will leave my words here today. In my heart, except for you, no one can compare with Zhanji. No matter how much Gao Xusheng His children are not as good as Zhanji." Even if Zhu Di still loves Zhu Gaoxu very much now, his son is not as good as Zhu Zhanji.In Zhu Di's heart, Zhu Zhanji is not just his grandson.

"Your Majesty, I hope you will remember what you said today." Empress Xu was deliberately being angry with Zhu Di.She was really worried that Zhu Di would not love Zhu Zhanji in the future, because Zhu Di had successfully ascended the throne.

Empress Xu didn't want to think about Zhu Di that way, but thinking that Zhu Di had always loved Zhu Gaoxu the most, and that Zhu Gaoxu's child was about to be born, she had to worry that Zhu Zhanji would be "forgotten" by Zhu Di.

"Queen, is I so ruthless in your heart?" After Zhu Di finished speaking, he felt a little angry. "Do you think I'm using Zhanji? Now that I'm on the throne, you think Zhanji doesn't use me, and I don't like Zhanji?"

Seeing that Zhu Di was angry, Empress Xu was not afraid, but stared straight at him: "Your Majesty, I think so, who is to blame?"

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows angrily: "Is it my fault?"

"Don't blame your majesty, do you still blame your concubines?" Empress Xu glared at Zhu Di, "Who always said that Gao Xu resembled you the most, and who told Gao Xu that your son's health is not good, so you should encourage him. Yes Who has always wanted to abolish Gao Chi's son and make Gao Xu his son? Who is it?"

Facing Empress Xu's questioning, Zhu Di choked.

"Your Majesty, why don't you speak?" For the sake of Zhan Ji, Empress Xu used malice to guess Zhu Di's thoughts.Zhanji is her grandson, and she will never allow anyone to hurt this child, not even Zhu Di.

Zhu Di dodged his eyes, turned his head slightly and said, "It's me."

"Now that Gao Xu's child is about to be born, Your Majesty, do you think I should be worried?" Empress Xu stared at Zhu Di sternly, "Zhan Ji is my treasure, and I don't allow anyone to hurt him, not even Your Majesty!"

Zhu Di didn't expect Empress Xu to be angry, so he quickly smiled at her flatteringly: "Empress, you don't want Zhanji to be hurt, and neither do I. I love Zhanji no less than you, and you can't wrong me like this. "

"Your Majesty." Empress Xu softened her tone, "If you say that, then I can rest assured."

"Empress, you can rest assured that Zhan Ji is my darling, and even if I hurt myself, I won't hurt Zhan Ji." Zhu Di held Queen Xu's hands tightly, and looked very solemnly at Xu Xu. The Queen promises.

"With His Majesty's words, I feel relieved."

Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then deliberately put on a straight face and said, "Queen, don't you think it's wrong for you to think of me this way?"

Empress Xu gave Zhu Di an angry look: "It's not your fault, Your Majesty, yourself."

"Empress, I used to love Gao Xu very much, and I also said that Gao Xu was like me, and told Gao Xu to encourage him, but this was all in the past. I don't say these words now. "Zhu Di looked extremely aggrieved, "I thought about abolishing Gao Chi before, but I didn't abolish it. Besides, I made Gao Chi the crown prince immediately after I ascended the throne."

"Don't tell me your Majesty shouldn't confer Gao Chi the crown prince after you ascended the throne?"

"Should be, what I mean is that if I'm really dissatisfied with Gao Chi, I won't immediately canonize him as the prince. I can find a reason to delay the canonization of Gao Chi." After Zhu Di finished speaking, he saw Empress Xu looking at him. His eyes were a little cold, and he hurriedly said, "You see, I didn't do this."

"Your Majesty, there is something that we need to talk about today." Empress Xu's expression suddenly became very serious.

Zhu Di's heart trembled: "Queen, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Talk about our three sons." Empress Xu had always wanted to talk to Zhu Di about the three sons, but seeing that Zhu Di was busy, she didn't open her mouth to talk about it.Now is a good time.

Zhu Di understood what Queen Xu wanted to say: "Queen, say it."

"We only have three sons. When we were in the palace, Gao Xu was very dissatisfied with Gao Chi, the eldest brother, in order to grab Gao Chi's position as the eldest son. He still found fault with Gao Chi everywhere, and even slandered Gao Chi in front of you."

Zhu Di was silent when he heard this.

"The chief culprit who made Gao Xu disrespect his elder brother and want to replace him as elder brother is you, Your Majesty. Because of your preference for Gao Xu and dissatisfaction with Gao Chi, there was discord among their brothers for the position of son." Mentioning this, Empress Xu felt angry, "When they were young, the three brothers had a very good relationship, but it was because of your partiality that the three brothers plotted against each other."

"In the past, His Majesty was still a prince, and Gao Chi was just a prince. No matter how dissatisfied Gao Chi was with his elder brother, Gao Xu would not take Gao Chi's life, but now it is different. Gao Chi has become the prince, but Gao Xu will not give up. , he will definitely continue to target Gao Chi and pull the prince Gao Chi to step down." Empress Xu said with a solemn face, "Since ancient times, the battle between crown princes has been very dangerous, and princes will kill each other. I don't want Gao Chi and Gao Xu and his brothers turned against each other, do you understand, Your Majesty?"

"Queen, don't worry, I won't let Gao Chi and Gao Xu kill each other."

"Your Majesty, I only have three sons. I hope they will all be well." Empress Xu said, "Your Majesty, you will have other sons in the future. You don't care about Gao Chi and the three of them, I do."

"Queen, Gao Chi and the three of them are our children, how could I not care."

"Your Majesty, I'm going to put my ugly words up front today. If Gao Xu is unfavorable to Gao Chi, I will never forgive Gao Xu lightly, and..." Empress Xu glanced at Zhu Di coldly, "I will never forgive you in this life." you!"

Zhu Di was startled by Empress Xu's last words.He and Empress Xu, a young couple, have been married for 30 to [-] years. Their relationship has always been very good, and they rarely quarrel.Even if they quarreled, they would quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed.Also, no matter how much the couple quarreled, they would never speak harshly to each other.This is the first time Empress Xu has spoken harshly to him.

He knew in his heart that Empress Xu was not threatening him, but telling the truth.If something really happened between Gao Xu and Gao Chi, Empress Xu really wouldn't forgive him.

"Queen, I assure you that I will never let Gao Chi and Gao Xu have an accident."

Empress Xu put away the coldness on her face, and smiled gently at Zhu Di: "I believe Your Majesty can do it."

"I can definitely do it."

Empress Xu didn't say any more, and changed the subject to talk about the draft.

The draft is not only to choose concubines for the emperor, but also to extend the heirs of the royal family.It is also for the forward dynasty.Since ancient times, the front and back palaces have been integrated.

This is Zhu Di's first draft after he ascended the throne. Empress Xu attaches great importance to it and does not want to make any mistakes.

"Before, I released a lot of older maids. This time, I selected more young court ladies." Empress Xu asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Queen, you can make the decision." Zhu Di held Empress Xu's hands again, and gently stroked the back of her hand, "Queen, I believe you can handle it well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust." Empress Xu also believed that she could handle it well.

Zhu Di stretched out his hand to hug Queen Xu into his arms, rubbed her face coquettishly and said, "Queen, you scared me just now."

Empress Xu raised her hand and patted Zhu Di's back gently, and said with a light smile, "It's good to scare Your Majesty."

"Queen, you have to make it up to me."

Empress Xu said reproachfully, "Okay, I'll make it up to you."

Zhu Di stuck to Empress Xu's ear, whispering something.

Empress Xu's face turned red immediately, and then she raised her hand and lightly beat Zhu Di's chest.

"Not serious."

"Queen, you keep your word, don't break your word."

"A concubine will not break her promise."

Zhu Di smiled ambiguously and said, "Maybe we can have another son."

Empress Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are making things difficult for others."

"Queen, we will definitely have children."

Zhu Zhanji walked in and just heard this, and exclaimed: "Grandpa, Grandmother, are you going to give me a little uncle?"

"Zhanji, do you want little uncle?" Zhu Di waved to Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji walked towards him and threw himself into his arms.

"To be honest, I don't really want little uncle."

This answer surprised Zhu Di and Empress Xu: "Why?"

"Because I'm older than him, but I want to call him little uncle, this..." Zhu Zhanji suddenly thought of something, his eyes rolled slyly, "But it's not impossible, because during the Chinese New Year, I can An extra gift for the new year, and an extra birthday gift." After finishing speaking, he pulled Zhu Di's sleeve and said with a smile, "Grandfather and Grandmother, please give birth to a few more uncles, I don't mind. "

Empress Xu laughed at Zhu Zhanji's anger, pinched his nose and said, "You little money fanatic, you are really scheming for money."

"Grandmother, how can this be called trickery?" Zhu Zhanji puffed his cheeks and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm obviously thinking of you. Besides, aren't Grandpa and Grandmother responsible for spreading branches and leaves?" .”

When Zhu Di and Empress Xu heard this, their eyes were filled with astonishment.

"You still know how to spread branches and leaves at a young age."

"Do you know what it means to scatter branches and leaves?"

Zhu Zhanji put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "It's just to have more children."

Zhu Di nodded Zhu Zhanji's little nose, and asked with a smile, "You know a lot."

"Grandpa Huang, I'm very smart." Zhu Zhanji was a little speechless, he was obviously very smart, why did Grandpa Huang always think that he didn't know much. "Grandpa Huang, isn't the purpose of your draft to spread the branches and leaves for our old Zhu family?"

Zhu Di and the others were amused by Zhu Zhanji's "our old Zhu family": "Do you really want many little uncles?"

"I want it, but the little uncle I want is born to the emperor's grandpa and the emperor's grandmother." Zhu Zhanji said, "I don't like you and other uncles in my life, and I don't care about their lucky money." .”

Zhu Di and Empress Xu were slightly startled when they heard what he said.

Empress Xu asked: "Zhan Ji, why don't you like Grandpa Huang and other uncles in life?"

"The others are not you, the imperial grandmother."

"Zhanji, where did you know about this?"

"Do you need someone to tell me this? After the draft is over, you will have a lot of concubines. I don't know those concubines. Why do I like the uncles they have with you?" him.

"Ghosts and spirits."

"I only recognize the little uncle born to the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother."

"Okay, Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang will give birth to a few more uncles for you, so that you can get more lucky money and birthday gifts every year."

Zhu Zhanji was full of joy: "Then I'll wait."

Empress Xu looked helplessly at the two of them, and patted Zhu Di's arm lightly: "Your Majesty, what are you messing around with Zhan Ji?"

"Zhan Ji, then your father and others gave birth to a younger brother for you, do you recognize it?" Zhu Di suddenly asked, "Don't you recognize it?"

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Di, thought for a while and said, "Let's see if they are good. If they are good, I will recognize them as younger brothers." It seems that this draft will also arrange concubines for dad.

Hearing what Zhu Zhanji said, Zhu Di and Empress Xu were relieved.

"If the younger brothers are not good, Zhanji, as an elder brother, you can teach them, just like your great-grandfather taught the emperor and the seventeenth grandfather back then."

"Zhanji, when you become a brother, you will take on the responsibility of a brother, you know?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded obediently: "Grandpa and Grandmother, I understand."

Zhu Di touched Zhu Zhanji's small face, and said lovingly, "Grandpa Huang believes that Zhanji will be a good brother in the future."

"Well, if I have a younger brother or younger sister, I will teach them well and play with them."

At this moment, Bai Hua walked in hurriedly, bowed to Zhu Di and the others first, and then reported: "Your Majesty, Empress, Princess Han gave birth prematurely."
