Gao Chi of the Ming River

In November 1391 AD, the Battle of Jingnan ended with Zhu Di's invasion of Nanjing, and Zhu Yunqi disappeared.

After Zhu Di invaded Nanjing, Nanjing entered martial law. Three days later, Nanjing lifted the martial law and returned to normal markets.

During these three days, most of the ministers of the former court surrendered to Zhu Di, and a small number, such as Xu Huizu and others, refused to submit. Therefore, except for Xu Huizu and Fang Xiaoru, the rest who refused to submit were killed, and their wives and daughters were sent to the court. Go to the Jiaofang Division, and all the males will be killed!

On this day, on the official road from Beiping to Nanjing, a group of troops dressed in armor, indifferent and bloody, guarded two carriages on both sides of the army and marched towards Nanjing.

In the first carriage, the gentle-faced boy looked at the letter in his hand with a frown.

The young man's face was gentle, but his face was a little pale, his eyes were clear and friendly, but at this moment, he was full of disapproval, staring at the letter in his hand, and frowned.

Opposite the young man, there was a man in his thirties, with a bright face and handsome features, but unfortunately his sitting posture was very indecent. With a wine glass in his hand, he looked at the young man jokingly, and jokingly said, "What? But Fang Xiaoru is dead. ?”

The young man slowly shook his head, looked at the man, sighed, frowned in distress, rubbed his forehead, and seemed to have a headache, "Mr. Fang is still alive, and so is my uncle, but..."

"But... all the other people who refused to surrender are dead?" The middle-aged man said with a smile, "You really deserve to be my fourth brother!"

The young man was stunned, then put down the hand rubbing his forehead, disapproving, "Father's move is inappropriate!" After a pause, he smiled wryly and shook his head, "However, it's natural for Father's temper..."

The middle-aged man said with a smile, "Little Gao Chi, since you know your father so well, you should know that it is very rare for Fang Xiaoru and Xu Huizu to be alive. And...as for..." The middle-aged man pointed to another person outside the carriage. A carriage, with a playful smile, "It's hard for them!"

The young man didn't take it seriously, but just smiled gently, "Do your best."

After the young man finished speaking, he looked down at the letter in his hand, feeling worried, does his father need to be so cruel?

The middle-aged man looked at the boy with slender eyebrows unconsciously frowned for another year, and felt a little emotional. His fourth brother was always cruel, but this son who hurts to the core is kind...

Touching his chin, he took a closer look at the young man. The young man has slender eyebrows, clear eyes, and a gentle face. Although he is not handsome and elegant, his friendly and comfortable atmosphere always makes people want to approach him unconsciously. Although the young man is kind-hearted, he is not weak. Before he was injured, he stuck to Peiping. He was brave and resourceful... He behaved politely, advanced and retreated with restraint, neither pedantic nor vulgar...

It's really... the more I look at it, the more depressed I feel. Why is his fourth brother so lucky? !

With such a good son...

But then, thinking of his fourth brother's attitude towards this son, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Uncle Wu, is there something wrong?"

The young man, who felt uncomfortable being stared at by the middle-aged man, had to raise his head and ask with a smile.

The middle-aged man came back to his senses, looked at the boy, and blinked, "No. By the way, Xiao Gaochi, those two, do you really want to intercede with them?"

The boy saw that the middle-aged man wasn't telling the truth, but he didn't ask any further questions. He just nodded along the topic and said, "Well, both Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan are good talents. It's a pity to kill them."

The middle-aged man rubbed his chin, thinking about what happened after arriving in Nanjing... Then he said, "Xiao Gaochi, don't forget about your elder brother Yunwen."

The young man stagnates, Brother Yunwen?

**********

At this time, Nanjing, in the imperial city.

Zhu Di focused on reviewing the memorial until a figure fell down.

"Have you found Zhu Yunqi?" Zhu Di asked calmly without raising his head.

"Returning to the master, yes! I have found it."

"Well. Then bring it back."

"Yes!"

Zhu Di paused, then frowned and asked, "Has the prince not arrived yet?"

"Returning to the master, Imperial Physician Wu said that although the son's injury has healed, it should not be too bumpy, so the carriage moved slowly."

Zhu Di nodded, that's fine.Slow down, slow down!Xiaoroubao's body is the most important!

It's just that I was a little anxious in my heart, thinking that I would see that little meat bun as soon as possible...

**********

And this day, outside the Nanjing city gate, far away, I saw the convoy slowly approaching.

And Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were dressed in brocade uniforms, and they were waiting at the gate of the city with Nanjing civil officials and military generals early. When the convoy slowly arrived and the soldiers guarding the carriage got off their horses, their cold and stern aura could not help but make the respectful waiting civil officials The generals were shocked.

But Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked calm.

Those sergeants are all personal guards following their father and elder brother, so it is natural that they are fierce.

After the sergeants got off their horses, the curtains of the carriages were slowly lifted, King Zhou raised his eyebrows, first glanced at the very large welcome team, and smiled playfully in his heart, sure enough.

Afterwards, King Zhou jumped out of the carriage, and Zhu Gaochi slowly stepped on the pedals to get off the carriage.

Seeing such a large and formal welcome team, Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, and turned around in his heart, he couldn't help muttering, is his father too much?But seeing that the only people standing in front of him were Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, he was relieved. Fortunately, fortunately, his father didn't come in person.

So, he smiled gently at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, "Thanks for your hard work."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui saluted respectfully first, then raised their heads and smiled at Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaoxu asked with concern, "Brother, is this journey okay?"

Zhu Gaochi habitually put his hands behind his back, and nodded with a smile, "Although I'm a little tired, it's okay, Imperial Physician Wu has been watching..."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and smiled, "That's good, brother, it's windy here, let's go back quickly."

"Okay!" Zhu Gaochi turned around and bowed his hands to the waiting Nanjing officials, smiling gently, "It's Gaochi who asked you to wait..."

The high-ranking officials were a little flustered and a little surprised, and hurriedly bowed their hands in return, saying polite words that they didn't dare to dare.

And Zhu Gaochi didn't take it seriously, just smiled gently, and then walked towards the big carriage that Zhu Gaosui was pointing at.

King Zhou watched Zhu Gaochi get into the carriage, thought for a while, then squinted at the carriage, smiled ambiguously, and turned to get on the original carriage.

King Zhou got into the carriage and lay down very lazily. After a while, Ma Sanbao climbed into the carriage with a confused face.

"Hey! Three guarantees!" Zhou Wang raised his hand to say hello, and smiled, "What? Little Gaochi kicked you out?"

Ma Sanbao shook his head blankly, puzzled, "My lord, the second young master said to let the slaves serve you, saying that there are people serving you, but..." I was a little nervous. Now that the lord's identity is different, the lord's identity will certainly be different, then ...Will the prince abandon himself?

"Don't worry." King Zhou glanced at Ma Sanbao, who looked anxious, and said with a smile, "Little Gao Chi is still very kind to you, and I won't let you serve me right now, but it's just that I don't want you around."

"So that's how it is..." Ma Sanbao replied, but his heart was still uneasy, but he could see that King Zhou had reservations, he didn't seem to want to let himself know, so he didn't want to ask any more, just responded with a sentence, He turned his head and looked at the carriage that should have come out of the palace, it was really big.

*********

Zhu Gaochi leaned against the warm familiar chest, listened to the steady heartbeat, slowly closed his eyes, and felt the gentle touch of the thick and powerful hand on his head.

He thought that he would only see his father when he arrived at the palace, but he didn't expect that when he got on the carriage in the palace, he saw his father sitting upright and smiling softly at him.

Then he was pulled over and hugged tightly.

He murmured in disbelief, "Chi'er...we won't be separated this time."

Whispering over and over again, my heart is warm and at ease.

Couldn't help raising his arms to hug her, raised his head slightly, stared into the deep and dark eyes, Zhu Gaochi frowned and grinned.

So, in the imagination, the fiery kisses that were outlined many times in the dream kept falling.

It wasn't until she couldn't breathe that she let go slowly, and kissed softly with reluctance.

"Father..." Zhu Gaochi panted slightly, grabbed the clothes on the shoulders of the man who was holding him tightly with his fingers, avoided slightly, feeling embarrassed, they were in the carriage after all.

Holding Zhu Gaochi and sitting down, Zhu Di pecked and kissed Zhu Gaochi fiercely before leaving reluctantly when Zhu Gaochi avoided it.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Zhu Di comforted.

Seeing Zhu Gaochi staring at the pecked cheek, his heart was itchy, the flushed cheeks after the passionate kiss, the extraordinarily bright eyes, really...

Take a deep breath, calm your breath, and slightly distance yourself.

Rubbing Zhu Gaochi's hair slightly calmed down the clamoring emotion in his heart.

"Father, is the second uncle's injury okay?" Zhu Gaochi felt that his father was calming down his emotions, so he changed the subject in a low voice, helping his father to distract himself.

"En." Zhu Di responded.

"Father, Mr. Fang is still in his mansion?"

"That's right." After a pause, Zhu Di said lightly, "He refused to help me draft the imperial edict."

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head with a smile, "Father, did you do it on purpose? Didn't you already know that his temper is like that?"

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, "I know, but I still want to call him."

Zhu Gaochi froze.

"Do you know why?" Zhu Di asked calmly, staring at Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi sighed, with a bitter face, "Father, don't tell me you're jealous?"

Zhu Di snorted coldly.

Zhu Gaochi looked at his father's expression, stepped forward a little flatteringly, kissed Zhu Di's nose, and whispered, "Father, my son just doesn't want to ruin my reputation because of him." Besides, that Fang Xiaoru is indeed quite talented.

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Gaochi, "You know your father and I never care about these things!"

"But I don't want them to say that Dad is wrong!" Zhu Gaochi said with a serious face, "Daddy is the best!"

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lowly, patted Zhu Gaochi's head, pulled Zhu Gaochi over, changed the subject, and said in a hoarse voice, "Chi'er, are you hungry?"

"I want to eat noodles." Zhu Gaochi glanced at the pastries that had been placed on the small table, and slowly shook his head.

Zhu Di took a piece of Zhu Gaochi's favorite apricot cake, tightened his hands, and said, "You can eat it when you return to the palace. Now, let's eat some pastries first."

Zhu Gaochi has no appetite. Although the pastry looks delicious, he just wants to eat something hot right now, but seeing the pastry handed to him, he doesn't want to refuse, so he raises his hand to take it, but Zhu Di avoids it. , said softly, "Father, hello."

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, then blushed, and said, "My son is fine, son can eat by himself."

Zhu Di frowned, insisting on staring at Zhu Gaochi.

Seeing his father persisting like this, Zhu Gaochi sighed in his heart, opened his mouth, swallowed, and then chewed slowly.

Seeing Zhu Gaochi eat it, Zhu Di smiled slightly.Touching Zhu Gaochi's head with one hand, seeing that Zhu Gaochi's mouth was covered with pastry crumbs, he bowed his head, stuck out his tongue, and licked it slowly.

Zhu Gaochi froze for a moment, and when he regained his senses, he hurriedly pushed away, blushing and calling in a low voice, "Father!!"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi blushing, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, and smiled slightly, the smile was very flat, but his eyes were darkened a bit.

"Father! We are in the carriage!" Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice but seriously.

Zhu Di pretended to be careless, then pulled back Zhu Gaochi who was retreating, laughed lowly, and teased him a little viciously, "Father, it's just a momentary rush. You know... from the time you were 13 years old, Dad I have never met anyone other than you..."

Zhu Gaochi was speechless for a while, looking at Zhu Di who was smiling a bit nastyly, he said very solemnly, "Father, my son knows that you are hungry, but you haven't starved to death after being hungry for so long, so please bear with it for a while."
