Gao Chi of the Ming River

1391 AD, April.

Zhu Yunwen issued a decree, ordering the vassal kings not to restrain the civil servants and generals in the territory under their jurisdiction.

In May, Zhou Wang, Qi Wang, Dai Wang and other vassal kings were cut successively, and they were imprisoned in the vassal land on the spot!

At the end of May, on the grounds that the border was unstable, King Yan was ordered to hand over the command flag of his subordinate "Eagle Army"——

He also sent Song Jianyou and Shi Paohui to accept King Yan's army.

And at this time, in the Palace of King Yan in Beiping...

Zhu Di was sitting in the study of Songzhuyuan, staring at the letter in his hand with a cold smile on his lips.

"father?"

Zhu Gaochi looked up, and saw his father's cold smile.Can't help frowning slightly.

"Chi'er... In a few days, there will be excitement to watch." Zhu Di threw down the letterhead, got up and walked to the couch.

Looking at the small table on the couch, and the sorted letterheads on it, Zhu Di frowned slightly, raised his hand to caress Zhu Gaochi's face, feeling a little distressed, "Didn't daddy say that you need to rest more, these letterheads will be used by daddy himself later?" It can also be handled."

"Father, my son is only injured on his back, not his brain. My son can handle these things!" Zhu Gaochi said very solemnly.

Zhu Di smiled slightly, staring at Zhu Gaochi, seeing that Zhu Gaochi's ears were red, he leaned over, breathed out in a low voice, "Then... But the injury on the back is healed?"

Zhu Gaochi was at a loss for a while, and couldn't help thinking about what happened that night. His mind was a little confused, and he retreated without a trace, but Zhu Di squinted his eyes and caught him. Zhu Di said in a hoarse voice, "Dad I said, don't run away!"

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and said muffledly, "Father, my son didn't escape."

Zhu Di slowly brought up a smile, tilted his head and kissed Zhu Gaochi's cheek lightly, "Yeah."

A few days ago, on the night after Zhang Rongyue visited, his father...did some bad things to him, ahem...Of course, he didn't make it to the end, because his injury hadn't healed and he was always Dad is not willing to...

But that night, he and his father had... made up their minds about each other.

Zhu Gaochi leaned on his father's shoulder, thinking about that night...

"Chi'er, Dad will tell you a story... There was once a woman who loved a man very much. In the eyes of others, that man was just a useless person who was ignorant and troublesome. The girl in the brothel is extremely talented and beautiful. Although she admires her, she dare not speak out, because she firmly believes that the man who is useless in the eyes of others will one day become famous all over the world. And she does not Dare to use his own humbleness to defile that man, and later... that man really became famous all over the world, and he even conquered the country. When he revisited an old place, that man was lucky enough to see her, and he fell in love with her beauty, so he changed her. took her back to the palace... At this time, the man had long forgotten the few meetings he had with this brothel woman... Later, she gave birth to two sons for this man, and then she was depressed. And at the end...Before she died, she told her two underage sons, "Flowers can be broken when they bloom, don't wait for flowers to be empty and broken branches."...How short a life is, she has always regretted it. When a man accomplishes nothing, he stays by his side. Then, will the most important woman in a man's heart be the queen?... During those few years in the palace, she was very painful. Although she gave birth to him two sons , but in his heart she is nothing more than an insignificant woman... She is very contradictory, knowing that she is humble and dare not ask extravagantly, but she regrets all the things back then..."

"Father... she is..." He was dumbfounded.

This person, can't be...

"It's just what you think, she is my concubine mother, your grandma." But his father said it very lightly.I don't care at all.

"..."

"Chi'er... what do you think of your grandma?"

He thought for a while before answering in a low voice, "Son, I don't know how to evaluate it."

His father smiled mockingly, "She only knows that she is humble, but she forgot that the man she admired was just a man who accomplished nothing and had no skills! Very stupid thing!"

"father……"

"Chi'er! Your grandma is right in saying that a person's life is so short... Dad is 31 this year. Chi'er, you are only 15 years old. Dad will always walk ahead of you. Dad can have your time. But 30 years..."

When he said this, his father's eyes were very gentle and nostalgic.

He was startled.Subconsciously looked up at his father.

His father smiled, and continued to speak slowly, "Father is such a selfish person, he knows what is best for you, but he refuses to let you go..."

He was silent.

His father sighed with a chuckle, touched his cheek, and said in a hoarse voice, "I won't let you go, even if I die. Chi'er, if you want to hate your father, just hate him."

He was taken aback, hating his father?Why does he hate it?Can he hate it?

In his heart, his father...has always been...huh?wrong!What his father said today seems to be... Then he couldn't help but raised his head speechlessly, stared at his father, and asked abruptly, "Father! When did you come today?"

His father froze.

"There is only one gate to Tingtao Courtyard. Dad, you...could have climbed over the wall?" He asked slowly.

His father froze.

He noticed the stiffness of his father's body and suppressed a smile. He grabbed his father's drooping hair and said with a sad face on purpose, "Oh, Dad, when you climbed over the wall, you didn't overturn the flower beside the wall." Right? That’s what my son planted with great difficulty..."

"Ahem..." His father coughed twice, staring at him resentfully, "Chi'er..."

He looked into his father's resentful eyes, and said deliberately solemnly, "Father, it's a trivial matter to damage your son's flowers. You are a prince, how can you do such a thing as climbing over the wall? What if someone sees it? Dad , you must never do anything in the future—ah! Dad!"

Before he finished speaking, he was kissed fiercely by his father until he was out of breath and the temperature of the air began to rise ambiguously, then his father let him go with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth and said, "Stinky boy! It will spoil the atmosphere!"

He stared at the unconcealable annoyance and resentment in his father's eyes, especially some kind of… annoyance that could easily ignite a fire but couldn't be suppressed and endured...

He finally couldn't help grinning.

Seeing that his father was anxious but reluctant to do anything, he was holding his back carefully, afraid that he would bump into him, he finally said slowly with a soft heart, "Father, have you listened to the wall corners all morning, didn't you?" Do you know everything?"

A tinge of embarrassment flashed across his dark and handsome face, and then he said expressionlessly, "Father has a bad temper, is stubborn, unreasonable, nagging, suspicious, and cunning? "

He was taken aback for a moment, then giggled.

His father was still staring at him blankly.

He was in a stalemate for a long while, but couldn't stand his father's staring gaze, and leaned his head lightly on his father's shoulder, muttering in a low voice, "Isn't there such a saying? Braised pork is no better. Eat it, and some people like it."

As soon as the words fell, he was hugged tightly by his father, and a hoarse and annoyed whisper came from his ear, "You just remember to eat!"

**********

When he recovered, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Di was looking at the separated letter paper, and heard Zhu Gaochi's low smile, lowered his head, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happy things did you think of?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head slowly, looked up at the letterhead in Zhu Di's hand, with slender eyebrows, "Father, my son just thinks...they seem too stupid."

Zhu Di slowly shook his head, "They're not stupid, they're just a little overconfident."

Zhu Gaochi looked at his father, confused, "Confidence?"

"In terms of strength, Zhu Yunqi's troops are far superior to mine. In addition, what I have on hand is only a small place in Beiping. In fact... Zhu Yunqi's strength is far greater than mine!" Zhu Di said lightly .

Zhu Gaochi nodded, he had thought about this too.

Seeing his father flipping through the letter with a calm expression, Zhu Gaochi frowned, "But, dad, there is none of them."

Hearing this, Zhu Di put down the letter paper and smiled, "Oh, who are you talking about?"

"You! Dad, they don't have you!" Zhu Gaochi said slowly, with a very serious expression.

Zhu Di was startled, then smiled lowly, and patted Zhu Gaochi's head, "That's right!"

and so……

No matter how powerful it is, Dad will definitely win!

Looking at the letter paper again, Zhu Di pondered for a while, hesitated for a while, then sighed, and said, "Chi'er, in these two days, find some time to sit with your mother and concubine."

Zhu Gaochi froze.

Mother concubine?

Gently patting Zhu Gaochi's back, Zhu Di said softly, "Go and see your concubine mother, a very important old friend of your concubine has passed away... She probably doesn't want to see me now, so go and comfort her. "

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback.

Very important old friend?

Maybe I don't want to see my dad either?

why?

Seeing Zhu Gaochi's dazed look, Zhu Di said lightly, "That old man... If your grandpa hadn't messed up the mandarin ducks, probably... he would be the marriage partner of your mother and concubine."

"Ah?" Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but stare blankly at his father.

Zhu Di raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, his smile was a bit ironic, "Chi'er, your mother and concubine didn't want to see me, that's why, and there's also... Back then, your mother and concubine once approached me, hoping that I would refuse to marry me, but I refused... Now that her old friend is dead, I'm afraid your mother and concubine will blame me to some extent..."
