If not abolished
Chapter 21
On the other hand, unlike the Hu family who were all worried and concerned, Zhu Zhanji was quite leisurely. He and Zhu Di inspected the people's conditions in various places along the way, stopping and walking. Zhu Di asked him to observe the farming scenes of farmers, explained to him the farm tools used and the farmers' food and clothing, and gave him "Focus on the Basics".
I remember that in the previous life, when Zhu Zhanji accompanied Zhu Di on a tour to Beijing, he was young and had never suffered any hardship. He knew the truth, but it was not as moving as this time. When I experienced it again, looking at the rice fields in front of me and stepping on the land under my feet, I felt a lot.
Just when Zhu Zhanji was lost in thought, he heard Zhu Di calling him. He turned around and saw Zhu Di already on the carriage, so he walked over.
Zhu Di saw that he didn't say anything, so he lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the place where he had just smiled. There was nothing strange about it, so why did he feel so heavy?
Zhu Di could only take the initiative to start the conversation: "We have been delayed for a long time on the way this time. In the next few days, we will go straight to Beijing."
"It has to be done soon. Uncle San is waiting anxiously in Beijing."
"Maybe. They sent people several times to ask us when we would arrive." Zhu Di followed his words.
A few days later, Zhu Di's ceremonial procession finally arrived near Beijing. Zhu Zhanji suddenly said that he wanted to go horseback riding to see the construction situation in Beijing. Zhu Di was very excited when he saw the vast land of Beijing. He wanted to turn around and go to Mongolia to fight. Of course, this was impossible, so he agreed to Zhu Zhanji's request. Not only that, he also went horseback riding with him, letting others go first.
Zhu Di felt the wind blowing past his ears, as if there was a solemn breath in the wind. This was the place he liked. Nanjing was full of gentleness, and even the words were sweet. He didn't like it at all. After so many years, he still liked the wind and sand of the desert.
On the other side, Zhu Gaosui heard someone report that the Emperor's ceremonial procession had arrived at the city gate. He hurriedly tidied his clothes and rushed to the city gate, just as the motorcade arrived.
When Zhu Gaosui and his men saw the procession arrive, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "Long live the emperor". But for a long time there was no response, and no movement from the imperial carriage. The officials were afraid of Zhu Di's majesty and naturally did not dare to glimpse his face, thinking that Zhu Di was testing them.
Zhu Gaosui initially thought that Zhu Di was keeping something in suspense, but after waiting for a long time he heard no movement and became puzzled. He never paid any attention to himself in front of Zhu Di, so he looked up and saw that there was no movement from the ceremonial procession. He frowned and thought about going forward to take a look, so he did so.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty." But there was no movement from the imperial carriage.
Zhu Gaosui lost all patience and was about to reach out to lift the curtain. Just as he was about to reach out, Wang Jinghong trotted up to him from behind and said, "Your Highness, please don't do this."
When Zhu Gaosui saw Wang Jinghong, he realized how rebellious his actions were and quickly put down his hand: "Wang Daban, I wonder what's going on?"
"Your Highness, His Majesty and the little prince just suddenly decided to go horse racing nearby and didn't have time to inform Your Highness." Wang Jinghong said truthfully.
Zhu Gaosui had an inexplicable feeling that he was being played a joke on someone, and his tone became a little aggressive: "Why didn't you say so earlier? In this situation, are you going to let us just wait like this?"
"Your Highness, calm down. This is indeed a sudden incident. His Majesty did not say when he would be back. He only asked the servants to come here first because he was afraid that Your Highness would be anxious waiting here."
"Then why didn't Wang Daban come over and tell us earlier?" Zhu Gaosui was naturally still angry.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Something happened back there just now. I went to deal with it, but it was too late. I didn't have time to inform Your Highness in advance."
"That's quite a coincidence. Didn't Father let anyone know in advance?"
"Perhaps your majesty forgot to give the order, or it is the fault of the servants."
Zhu Gaosui was so angry when he saw Wang Jinghong like this that he couldn't suppress his anger and kicked Wang Jinghong. Zhu Gaosui had been trained in the army since he was a child and was angry, so he didn't hold back the kick and Wang Jinghong was kicked out immediately. Wang Jinghong groaned in his heart but he could only endure it and immediately stood up and knelt on the ground.
When the officials behind Zhu Gaosui heard the noise, they didn't care about being rude, and fearing that he would attack again, they quickly stood up and knelt in front of Zhu Gaosui, pulling him and trying to dissuade him: "Your Highness, calm down. Eunuch Wang is someone close to His Majesty. How are you going to explain this to His Majesty?"
Zhu Gaosui then realized what he had done, and he didn't know why he had made such a mistake. Now that he had calmed down, he was also afraid. If this was investigated, no matter how much Zhu Di doted on him, he would never allow him to be so presumptuous.
So when Zhu Di and his men arrived, what they saw was Wang Jinghong kneeling on the ground and Zhu Gaosui being held there by someone. Zhu Di was looking at them with a frown on his face.
"Your Majesty has arrived." Zhu Zhanji shouted.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live the emperor." Everyone immediately bowed to Zhu Di.
When Zhu Gaosui heard that his father was coming, he couldn't help but tremble.
Zhu Di dismounted and walked up to Zhu Gaosui and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Zhao is so majestic." Then he headed towards the city. Zhu Zhanji followed him and saw that his third uncle was shaking even more violently after hearing this, with beads of sweat visible on his forehead.
Zhu Zhanji took a quick glance and followed. After the others went in, Zhu Gaosui was helped up by others. Only then did he realize that his legs were weak.
Zhu Gaosui had originally prepared a welcoming banquet for Zhu Di, but now he didn't know whether he should eat the meal.
"Third uncle, the emperor said that he was a little tired after horse racing in the morning. He should have a simple meal first and attend the banquet in the evening." After Zhu Zhanji sent Zhu Di to rest, he came over to report to Zhu Gaosui.
Zhu Gaosui knew that his nephew had a say in front of Zhu Di, so he didn't care about anything else. He grabbed Zhu Zhanji's hand and said, "Zhanji, tell your uncle in front of your grandfather. Your uncle was angry and confused. I... I..."
Zhu Zhanji took Zhu Gaosui's hand away without leaving a trace and said, "Third Uncle, no one knows what the Emperor is thinking now. You know, I dare not offend the Emperor now. Otherwise, Third Uncle will go in and apologize in person to see if it works."
"I, this, the emperor father is resting now, how dare I disturb him. Zhanji, you can't bear to see your third uncle not help you. When you were little, your third uncle held you in his arms and played with you. Zhanji..." Zhu Gaosui started crying as he spoke.
"Why don't we wait for the emperor to take action, and I will stop him for my uncle," Zhu Zhanji asked.
"Ah..." Zhu Gaosui was confused.
