While thinking, a sharp gleam flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and then he picked up the wine jar and filled the wine bowls in front of himself and Zhu Yuanzhang.
He stood up, holding the wine bowl, and said, "It's been many years since I've had such a hearty drink with you, Father. Ultimately, I'm the most fortunate. This bowl, I offer to you, Father, on behalf of my eldest, second, third, and other younger brothers!"
Done.
His eyes fell on Zhu Yuanzhang's face with a hint of scrutiny.
Zhu Yuanzhang was happy today and drank a lot of wine. In addition, his heart was at its softest and he longed for family affection the most, so his guard against Zhu Di naturally relaxed and he did not notice anything unusual about Zhu Di.
After hearing Zhu Di's toast.
The expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly changed, the smile on his face gradually faded, and was replaced by bitterness.
After pondering for a moment.
Only then did he pick up his wine bowl with heavy and slow movements.
He said sadly, "This is a toast to them... Haha, I'll never have the chance to drink a bowl of wine like this with them again..."
Say it.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
It's as if the eyes sparkling with water are filled with loneliness and sadness...
Just now, Zhu Di specifically mentioned his three brothers Biao, Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang.
It is certainly not an unintentional act.
He just wanted to remind his father to remember this matter - during the New Year, when the whole family is reunited, to remember his second and third sons - of course, more importantly, to remember who killed his two sons!
Normal times.
My father was sober and vigilant, and because the young boy was the eldest brother's legitimate son, he was even more partial to him.
Even though Zhu Di had many dissatisfactions in his heart, he did not dare to speak out too much.
Now that he finally had the opportunity, as the only son who was with his father, it was reasonable for him to pay tribute to his father on behalf of his brothers and sisters. Of course, he would take the opportunity to flatter Zhu Yuanzhang.
While applying the eye drops, he was also able to divert the conversation to that kid Zhu Yunhuan. This was the dagger he had hidden in the picture.
Seeing that his father's sorrow had been brought out, Zhu Di quickly struck while the iron was hot, pouring himself and Zhu Yuanzhang another bowl of wine, pretending to be melancholy, and said while the iron was hot: "It is indeed unfair that my eldest brother is gone, but my second and third brothers... they could have... even if they really had committed a heinous crime, they could have been commoners... Sigh... forget it, it's New Year's Day, let's not talk about such things."
After saying that, he also raised his head and drank a bowl of wine.
At the same time, he observed Zhu Yuanzhang with his sidelong glances calmly.
Everyone has weaknesses, and the iron-blooded Hongwu Emperor was no exception. Zhu Di exploited this weakness. Sure enough, when he saw a hint of anger on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, he stood up without even drinking the wine in the bowl.
Zhu Yuanzhang threw the bowl to the ground with a clang sound, and the wine splashed all over the ground.
"That little bastard!! He really doesn't show any mercy!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table and cursed angrily, and the table and the bowls on it were slammed with a "bang bang" sound.
It was true that he was fond of Zhu Yunhuan. In his heart, he also recognized this grandson and recognized him as the future ruler, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
But in the matter of Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang.
He was angry, really.
Originally, as time went by, one thing after another came flooding in, and he gradually suppressed this matter in his heart, but this did not mean that he had completely put it aside.
At this time, Zhu Di pointed it out.
It was brought up at the most inappropriate time.
Zhu Yuanzhang's anger naturally surged again. The lingering power of the Hongwu Emperor still lingered. The rage rising in the room made Zhu Di secretly shudder, but then followed by a burst of secret joy: "Father really does care."
Yes, for now, everything is under his control~
