Gao Chi of the Ming River

After Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui left.

Zhu Gaochi turned and walked into the back room.

Zhu Di was sitting on the couch with the letter in his hand, but he was staring at him, shaking his head helplessly.

"Then the white wolf and the black bear are from the White Tiger Army?" Zhu Di asked, feeling helpless, with a slight sigh on his face, "You still don't believe me?"

Divide two more shares of the military power at hand to Gao Xu and Gao Sui?

This kid!Just be careful!

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, "Father! My son said this in the name of my father! So... this is not what my son means! It is what my father means!"

Zhu Gaochi smiled smugly.

He didn't want to plant any seeds that would cause a crisis. Even if the father didn't know how to do it, what about Gao Xu and Gao Sui?

They also started to grow up slowly.

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi, but smiled in his heart, that's all!

It doesn't matter if this kid doesn't believe it now.

One day, he will know that nothing his father said to him is true!

But when Zhu Di was about to get up, to embrace Zhu Gaochi, and take the opportunity to "smell" the meat buns, a stone was thrown in.

Zhu Gaochi was startled, then picked it up very naturally.

It is not once or twice that stones are suddenly thrown in like this.

But... Shouldn't Dad's way of delivering messages be changed?What if it was thrown to someone that day?

Handing it to Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi also sat down on the couch.

Zhu Di spread out the note, and when he saw the news on the note, Zhu Di's expression changed.

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Father, what's the matter?"

Zhu Di was expressionless, his eyes were gloomy, and he held the small note tightly in his hand. After a while, he said calmly, "Your grandpa has passed away..."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned.

Grandpa Huang... really left...

From September last year to now... still can't make it through?

Zhu Gaochi's heart was very complicated at this time.

After being stunned for a long while, he slowly came back to his senses. Just as he was about to raise his head and say something, he saw his father slowly closing his eyes tightly, with a tear rolling out of the corner of his eyes...

Zhu Gaochi's heart trembled, his father... actually cried...

In his heart, he has always been the toughest father... crying.

There was an inexplicable tingling pain, an inexplicable sourness, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but raised his arms and hugged his father.

As soon as he hugged him, Zhu Di hugged Zhu Gaochi with his backhand, tightly.

In the warm afternoon sun, the room was quiet.

**************

In 1391 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty, died.

Today, in Daqingshou Temple.

Dao Yan looked at Zhu Di who was standing by the window gazing at the sky outside the window for a long while, and then sighed softly, "My lord, please express my condolences."

"Dao Yan, I'm fine." Zhu Di said lightly.

"You once said that I owe a chance." Zhu Di turned his head slowly, with a stern expression, staring at Dao Yan with sharp eyes, "Now, this opportunity has come?"

Dao Yan cupped his hands respectfully, with some fanaticism in his eyes, "If you go back to the prince, this opportunity has come!"

"But..." Dao Yan sighed a little, "Your Majesty, there is still a chance..."

Zhu Di laughed mockingly, "You are wrong, Dao Yan."

"wrong?"

"It's not the timing, but... an excuse!"

"Excuse?" Dao Yan was thoughtful.

Zhu Di turned his head to look at the sky, and murmured, "But...it's almost here."

Dao Yan was stunned, then looked at Zhu Di, admired in his heart, and respectfully cupped his hands and said, "My lord, it's true...it's coming soon." After a pause, Dao Yan said solemnly, "It's just, my lord, I'm afraid before that... ...The prince and the two young masters are going to go to Nanjing again!"

When Zhu Di heard this, his face darkened.

He also thought about this question!

damn it!

At this time in the Songzhu courtyard, Zhu Gaochi picked up the small stones thrown in and put them on the table.

Just as he was about to pick up the ledger to read, Zhu Neng's anxious voice came from outside, "My subordinate Zhu Neng begs to see the prince!"

Zhu Gaochi was startled.

Immediately, walk out slowly.

Seeing Zhu Neng's anxious face, he also asked seriously, "General Zhu, what happened?"

Zhu Neng cupped his hands respectfully, took a step forward, and said solemnly, "My lord! The envoys from the capital have already set off and will arrive in Beiping soon!"

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, the envoy of the capital?

After thinking about it for a while, it must be for the funeral of the emperor's grandfather.Then he smiled gently, "I see, I will tell my father."

Zhu Neng looked at the gentle and relaxed smile on Zhu Gaochi's face, and hesitated in his heart. The prince probably didn't know that this time he came to Beijing, I'm afraid... It's bad luck.

He couldn't help reminding in a low voice, "My son! I'm afraid it will not be easy for the capital to come here this time..."

Zhu Gaochi looked at the anxiety and seriousness on Zhu Neng's face, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, General Zhu, I know... I'm afraid it's... a proton."

As soon as the word "proton" came out, Zhu Neng was startled.

The prince knows?

Seeing Zhu Neng's shocked face, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but secretly smiled.

How could he not understand?

At this time, the emperor's grandfather was in mourning, and perhaps the new emperor would ascend the throne not long after.

And this new emperor is Zhu Yunwen.

When the new emperor came to the throne, especially Zhu Yunqi, what he was most afraid of at this time was his uncles like his father who held military power in their hands.

Among them, the most threatening one is probably only his father...

Therefore, in order to show their allegiance to the new emperor, these future princes...the so-called princes, the so-called young masters, probably have to enter the capital.

And this entry into Beijing...

That's... hard to say.

After sending Zhu Neng off, he turned and walked into the back room.

Zhu Gaochi sighed softly in his heart, hey, his father must be conflicted.

at dusk.

Zhu Di walked into Songzhuyuan, his own wing, with a blank expression.

Staring at Zhu Gaochi who was getting up and walking towards him with a smile on his face, Zhu Di couldn't help but clenched his fists, trying to suppress the urge to hug this kid hard now.

"Father, are you back?"

"Ah."

"Father, are you hungry? Let's eat." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

"……it is good!"

Finish the meal quietly.

Zhu Gaochi wiped his face, picked up the tea bowl again, drank leisurely, took a sip, and showed a satisfied smile.

Zhu Di watched, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

this kid...

But soon, such a quiet and peaceful atmosphere was broken by what Zhu Gaochi suddenly remembered.

"Father, my son almost forgot that General Zhu Neng has come and said that the envoy from the capital will be here in a few days."

Zhu Di's face suddenly changed.

"Father... my son thinks, this envoy from the capital can't just come to bring me and Gao Xu Gaosui to the capital."

"……you know?"

"My son thinks about it all because of this!"

"Chi'er..."

"Father, it's fine. I will take good care of Gao Xu and Gao Sui." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

But Zhu Di jumped up and said angrily, "Who said you have to go!?"

"Father?" Zhu Gaochi was taken aback.Then he frowned and said solemnly, "Father, I am the son of the world, of course I have to go!"

"I said you don't have to go if you don't have to go!" Zhu Di said angrily.

"Father! What's the matter with you?" Zhu Gaochi also got up and said, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he sighed in his heart. He knew that his father would definitely make such a fuss...

"I'm fine!" Zhu Di said coldly.

"Father..." Zhu Gaochi stroked his forehead helplessly.

"In short! I said you don't have to go if you don't have to go!" Zhu Di emphasized again.

"Father, you know, this is impossible!" Zhu Gaochi was annoyed.Frowning and getting up, he was annoyed, his father is really too!

Zhu Gaochi's heart is sour, why is this so?He is willing to go to Nanjing, he knows that his father will let him go in the end even if he says nothing now!So... why bother to say these words, make yourself uncomfortable and make him uncomfortable!

"Impossible! I said it might be possible!" Zhu Di said angrily.

"Father! Are you the emperor's grandfather?!" Zhu Gaochi felt uncomfortable and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Zhu Di was taken aback.

Staring at his father, Zhu Gaochi showed a slightly bitter smile, "Father, you are not...so, father, please stop talking..."

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi blankly, and after a while, suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

With a bang, the table shattered.

*************

That night.The moonlight sprinkled in the garden like water.

Zhu Gaochi stood in the courtyard of Songzhuyuan, looking up at the moon.

Zhu Di walked out of the back room and looked at Zhu Gaochi. Under the watery moonlight, Zhu Di seemed to see the child who was walking with his arms behind his back and swaying... Now in a blink of an eye, the child has grown up.

Zhu Di was in a trance.

The grown-up child...is still so cute, and is still...so irritating!

Thinking of the dispute just now, Zhu Di felt bitter.

He clearly knew that what this kid said was right!

But I still don't want to, I don't want to!

It is easy to enter Nanjing, but difficult to exit!

This trip to Beijing, on the surface it was about a funeral, but in reality it was nothing more than a proton!

I'm afraid...it will be difficult to get out after this trip.Especially this kid!

He is his eldest son, his... the most beloved son...

Gently spread out the cloak in his hand, tightly wrapped the annoying and annoying boy in front of him, and hugged him in his arms.

In Zhu Di's heart, he just wished he could swallow it up, and never worry about it again!

"father?"

"Chi'er...what you said is right! But father doesn't want you to go, doesn't want you to go."

"But I have to go anyway. Dad, you don't want to, but you can't tie me up..."

In fact, father, you understand in your heart that my own life and death are compared with the size of King Yan's mansion...which is more important?

Not only the size of King Yan's mansion, but also the people who followed father secretly...the army hiding in the mountains...

Little Zhu Gaochi, a mere "son of the throne"...

Really... nothing.

"Father... I will take care of myself." Zhu Gaochi raised his head and said seriously.

Zhu Di just hugged her tightly expressionlessly.

And...Gao Xu Gao Sui, father, my son will make them safe.

Zhu Gaochi whispered in his heart.

****************

At this time, the night was deep.

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi's face which was snoring and sleeping so sweetly, feeling sad, so... slowly approaching him bit by bit.

My heartbeat is getting faster and faster, and I know I should stop!Don't come any closer!What if the kid is woken up?

But at this time, he was completely disobedient.

Just want to...touch this kid...

I just want to... get closer, get closer to this kid, so that I can tell myself that this kid is by my side...

never left.

won't leave.

When he got close, the tip of his nose pressed against the tip of his nose, Zhu Di slowly closed his eyes, and gently touched the warm lips that had been imagined and drawn countless times...
