Chapter 48: I (1)
According to the Ming Dynasty etiquette, when the vassal kings came to the capital, they should congratulate the emperor in Jinshen Hall, and then they also gave him a banquet in Jinshen Hall.
But since the Yan King Zhu Di entered the capital, no order was sent from the palace.
When the Supreme Emperor was the emperor, all the vassal kings in the world were his sons. Now the New Lord of Yongchang is the one who sits in the world, and the vassal kings are all his uncles. The relationship between them, even if the person with a dull sense of smell is, can smell some differences.
Therefore, King Yan Zhu Di cultivated himself in the vassal residence every day. When he had nothing to do, he took his sons to wander around the capital. The Ministry of Rites said that he could not see it, and the Guanglu Temple was not even seen.
Until early this morning, someone from the palace sent an order and the emperor gave a banquet to the King of Yan.
~~
"The emperor has issued an order to give the King of Yan a banquet at Chunhe Palace!"
In the back hall of the Yan King's vassal residence, the eunuch passed the oral order of Zhu Yunxi, bowed and smiled, "King Yan Qiansui, you are ready, I will wait for you outside the mansion!"
Zhu Di thanked her for being up, his face full of warm smiles, "I'm sorry, father-in-law!"
"I dare not!" The eunuch who sent the order was in his forties, wearing a red robe, thought he was also a little arrogant in the palace.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi stepped forward and took action slightly. A roll of things was stuffed into the eunuch's palm, "Dear father-in-law is holding a tea!"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
"Just a little bit of money!" Zhu Gaochi smiled, "It's not a big deal!"
Whenever eunuchs in the palace go to various places to pass the imperial edict, no matter who receives the imperial eunuch, they must prepare some errand money for the eunuchs. This has been the case in all dynasties.
The eunuch looked back and saw that everyone who came with him was outside the door. He couldn't hear him whispered, "Now General Park in the palace is in charge of the head of the family, and he is very good at managing the slaves!"
Zhu Gaochi nodded, looked at the eunuch and smiled, and then shouted, "Come here, send my father-in-law out!"
Then, Zhu Gaochi walked to Zhu Di, who was standing with his hands behind his back, "Dad, my son asked someone to arrange clothes for you?"
Zhu Di couldn't see any joy and anger on his face, "What clothes? Isn't this dress good?"
"Roir!" Zhu Gaochi was puzzled, "The emperor gave you a banquet to enter the palace. You can't just wear this family-style clothes, right?"
"Hmph!" Zhu Di sneered, "If I were given a banquet in Jinshen Hall, my father would naturally wear the robes of the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. The place where the banquet was given was Chunhe Palace, and I would not be able to wear the robes of the vassal king!"
It seemed that Zhu Gaochi understood something and whispered, "Chunhe Palace is the original residence of the Prince Xian!"
Zhu Di nodded silently, with a complicated expression.
Then, he spoke slowly, with a hint of anger, "I am not old now, but such a means of ravaging people's hearts are extraordinary!"
Giving the feast of Chun and the Palace and the Jinshen Hall is completely different concepts.
The Hall of Consciousness is the most solemn place of etiquette.
Chunhe Palace has a different meaning.
The Jingshen Hall is a court hall, which allows the king and the minister to get along with each other and use it with etiquette.
Chunhe Palace is the Eastern Palace, and only the crown prince can live there. Zhu Di has never lived in Chunhe Palace.
In the past, when Zhu Biao was there, Zhu Di would meet the crown prince in Chunhe Palace every time he went to Beijing.
~~~
The sunlight refracts from the bright yellow glazed tiles, and the shadows of the trees in front of the window are even more swaying.
There is a slight wind, passing through the hall.
Zhu Di, who was dressed in regular clothes, walked out of the red corridor under the guidance of the palace servants and came to the front of Chunhe Palace.
Pu Wuyong, the chief supervisor of Fengtian Palace, came out of the palace and politely said, "I have seen the King of Yan Qiansui!"
Zhu Di raised his hand slightly, "Mr. Park doesn't need to be polite!"
"The emperor's oral order, you will do it first when you come. The emperor is busy and you will be there in a while!" As he said that, Pu Wuyong flashed and gave Zhu Di a way to Chunhe Palace.
Zhu Di was alone and moved forward slowly.
For some reason, when his legs crossed the threshold of spring and palace, he seemed a little nervous as if he was a little timid.
For some reason, the memories in my mind came one after another.
In his early years, every time he returned to Beijing, he would come here to see the prince Zhu Biao first. Every time, when he walked out of the corridor and crossed the threshold, he would see Zhu Biao's figure and stood at the gate of the palace with a smile.
"The fourth brother is back!"
Chunhegong is still the same as before, as if it has not changed since Zhu Biao left, and the scene and objects inside are so familiar.
As soon as Zhu Di entered, the throne of the prince of the Eastern Palace came into view. On the bright yellow throne, the brocade cushion embroidered with dragon patterns should be a bit old, so the dragon patterns on it look less magnificent and domineering.
Before, when he saw him, Zhu Biao sat there talking to him.
A long time ago, he could still act like a good brother and listen respectfully. But later, gradually, when he looked at Zhu Biao there, he felt a little bit of separation in his heart, why wasn't I sitting there?
What does it feel like to sit up with that chair?
When I heard about the death of Prince Zhu Biao, I probably had more joy than sadness at that time?
Suddenly, Zhu Di shook his head fiercely and threw away these emotions.
This chair is obviously very close to him, but it is so far away.
Moreover, now facing this chair, his heart beats very quickly. It is not the kind of accelerating because of desire, but the kind of palpitations that accelerates.
He walked slowly forward and walked through the front hall.
As soon as I entered the back hall, I suddenly felt a look on my back.
Slowly stop and turn around.
For a moment, Zhu Di's eyes widened.
"Brother!"
On the throne, there seemed to be a familiar shadow sitting, looking at him with a smile.
The smile was full of generousness, a little distant, and was still a little proud and proud.
Zhu Di rubbed his eyes hard and shook his head violently. The phantom in front of him disappeared again.
He looked out the window, the bright sunshine, and then the throne that looked old.
Just now, it was his hallucination.
But in that moment of hallucination, the smile on Zhu Biao's face that appeared made his heart feel uncomfortable.
The smile seemed to say, "Fourth brother, you will never get this chair. I used to sit on it, but later my son, and I will be my grandson in the future. You will never sit on it, and you will even be able to think about it in the future!"
For a moment, a kind of powerlessness began to spread in Zhu Di's heart.
He continued to walk forward and sat down next to a tea table.
"What's wrong with me? It's because I'm not the old lady's biological son?"
"I have tried my best to prove myself over the years!"
"I have done the best among the princes. I have the most military achievements and the people under my rule are the most comfortable! I am not arrogant, extravagant, greedy, and do not accept concubines."
"I have no face to fall into the Zhu family, I will praise the world!"
"When the second and third brothers enjoy themselves in the gentle village, I killed the Tartars in Mobei!"
"When other vassal kings were prosperous and wealthy, I went deep into the south of the desert alone!"
"Others who are red-sleeved and incense, I only have a murderous sword in my hand!"
"I........"
"Until now, you're leaving, your son is still pressing me like a mountain!"
"Why? Why?"
Suddenly, a slight step came from outside.
Zhu Di quickly concentrated his mind and wiped his eyes hard.
