Chapter 515 The grandson of blue jade
The morning sun was just right, and Li Jie walked out of the room and stretched, then moved in the yard for a while. This period of time made him very tired. Now he has finally finished Zhu Biao's funeral, and the war on Fu Youde's side has also progressed very smoothly, and Zhu Yunyu's throne has finally stabilized.
Thinking of this, Li Jie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. There were too many things happening this year, almost one after another. He had felt exhausted several times before, and even wanted to leave without paying attention. Fortunately, he survived it.
"What are my brother-in-law thinking?" At this moment, Zhu Xueqing in the room walked out, and said with a hint of shyness on her face.
After Li Jie took her home last time, Zhu Xueqing officially lived at Li Jie's house. Although she had no status, she didn't care. Zhu Yuning also accepted her early. After all, this is the atmosphere of this era. Even among the prince-in-law, Li Jie is very rare. Except for Zhu Xueqing, he has never been outside.
"I think about the things that happened this year, first the death of Emperor Taizu, then Emperor Wen, and then His Majesty ascended the throne." Li Jie also sighed at this time.
Lao Zhu's posthumous title must be Taizu, but Zhu Biao's posthumous title is difficult to determine. After all, he has only been an emperor for more than a month, so it is really difficult to judge his achievements. However, he finally made a posthumous title of Xiaowen, which is also the posthumous title of Zhu Di in history. Anyway, Zhu Di has no chance to be an emperor, so his posthumous title was robbed by Zhu Biao. To be honest, Zhu Biao's posthumous title is actually a bit weak, after all, his achievements cannot be compared with Zhu Di.
"This year is indeed a turbulent time, but now it's over. Your Majesty gave you a month off for your brother-in-law. Don't think about this now." Zhu Xueqing gently pulled Li Jie's arm and said softly.
"Yes, it's all over!" Li Jie said with some emotion, but he didn't say anything about it later, because he knew that after a month of rest, Zhu Yunxiu had more things to deal with, and even if he was on vacation, he still had something he wanted to deal with.
While talking, Zhu Yuning also walked over from the yard next to him. Zhu Xueqing immediately went up to meet him. The two sisters chatted for a few words, and then went to have breakfast with Li Jie.
After breakfast, Zhu Yuning also invited a few friends from the boudoir to have a party at home. Because they were all female relatives, Li Jie did not get involved. He went to the study room himself, but just gave a few instructions to the manager in the mansion.
After waiting for a while, the manager came in to report that Li Jie and others had arrived and were waiting in the front hall now. So Li Jie also put down the books in his hand and quickly walked to the front hall.
When Li Jie came to the front hall, he saw a young man sitting in the hall waiting. This young man is about the same age as Li Jie, but has a tall figure. If you look closely, you will find that his appearance is a bit similar to Lan Yu. This young man is Lan Huaien, the eldest grandson of Lan Yu.
"Brother Huai'en!" After Li Jie entered the hall, he also smiled and greeted. Lan Huai'en was Lan Yu's eldest grandson. He was still Zhu Yuning and Zhu Yun's cousin. He was only two years older than Li Jie. His wife and Zhu Yuning were friends in the boudoir. Every time he came, it was sent by Lan Huai'en himself. From this, it can be seen that the couple's relationship was quite good.
"You are polite to the prince consort. I was about to leave just now, but I heard from the manager that the prince consort had something to ask me for. I wonder if there is anything important?" Lan Huaien immediately stood up and returned the favor when he saw Li Jie, and then asked anxiously.
Lan Huai'en and Li Jie can only be said to have acquaintance, but they have no friendship. Today, Li Jie suddenly asked his servants to keep him, which made him a little worried. After all, although the situation in the court has gradually stabilized recently, it is still not very stable in secret. For example, because of Zhu Yunwen's incident last time, many ministers were implicated.
"Brother Huai'en, don't worry. It's actually nothing big for me to keep you. I just want to ask General Lan about his recent physical condition." Li Jie replied with a smile.
"My grandfather's physical condition?" Lan Huaien was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then replied, "My grandfather's body has always been strong. After all, he needs to command the army. He spends most of his time eating and living in the military camp, and he maintains the habit of practicing martial arts, which is better than the health of our young people."
"Don't General Lan usually lives at home?" Li Jie asked curiously when he heard this.
"Yes, I live in the military camp most of the time, and I just go home occasionally, because my grandfather said that as a general in command of the army, if he cannot eat and live with the soldiers, how can he let them work together with him and fight against the enemy together?" Lan Huaien nodded and replied.
Li Jie nodded when he heard this, then smiled and said to Lan Huaien: "Brother Huaien, I heard that you are the general's favorite grandson, but why did you not go to martial arts, let alone enter the army?"
Lan Huai'en and Li Jie are about the same age, but now they do not serve in the army. Instead, they have changed from military to literary talent. They have been studying in the Imperial College since childhood. They probably want to take the civil service route in the future.
"This..." Lan Huaien also showed a hesitant look when she heard Li Jie's question, but in the end she replied, "To be honest, my grandfather really values me very much. As for why I didn't let me enter the army, it was mainly because my grandfather felt that the army was too dangerous. Even as a general, he would inevitably be in danger of death in the battlefield. My Lan family's descendants were not prosperous, and my father had two brothers. In my generation, and there were only three cousins, so my grandfather didn't want me to take risks, so he let me learn literature from elementary school."
"So that's the case. General Lan has indeed put a lot of effort into planning for his descendants!" Li Jie pretended to be moved when he heard this. Because he had already investigated the situation of Lan Yu's family before, he had known what Lan Huai'en said.
Lan Huaien didn't know that Li Jie had investigated him a long time ago. When he heard his feelings, he nodded in agreement: "Grandfather, he is indeed worried about us descendants. Unfortunately, I have no prospects. I have been in the Imperial College for so many years and have not been able to become an official. It is far from the prince-consort!"
"Brother Huai'en, don't belittle yourself. Now that Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, it is time to use people. With Brother Huai'en's talent, he will probably be valued by Your Majesty soon." Li Jie immediately comforted him when he heard this.
