Chapter 598 – The Dragon’s Face is Angry

Zhu lamented.

It seemed that the grandchildren were about to travel with a great deal of reluctance.

The so-called son of heaven, although it is known as the lone man, in fact, is still a person, but where a person, it is inevitable that there are joys and sorrows.

At this time, Zhang Anshi in a trance, only feel in front of the sitting in front of their own is no longer that the mighty Yongle son of God, nor is that full of murderous spirit, always teach themselves to be afraid of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but just an ordinary can not be more ordinary old man just.

The wrinkles at the corners of Zhu Di’s eyes, the more the folds flourish, he continued to lament, “Zhang Qing, I will entrust them to you, no matter what, protect them.”

Zhang Anshi was about to agree.

But I heard Zhu Jun Jun say, “Your Majesty, Sun-Shen is already old, and since A-Uncle has to assist Royal Grandfather and Father as well as take care of Xinzhou on weekdays, Sun-Shen does not dare to bother A-Uncle, so it is better to let Sun-Shen deal with the affairs of the feudal state on his own.”

This statement immediately caused the warmth in this family feast to vanish all of a sudden.

These words, sounding very decent, worrying about their uncle’s hard work, would not have been justified.

However, there is no one sitting here who is a good person. Even the youngest, Zhu Zhan-Sun, as the grandson of the emperor, understands the meaning of these words.

Obviously, Zhu Jun was not sure about Zhang Anshi, and he went to the clan town to take up his position because he thought he was older and recognized his own talent on the one hand. On the other hand, he was afraid that Zhang Anshi would manipulate him.

After all, Zhu Jun was not born to the Crown Princess Zhang, and although Zhang Anshi was nominally his uncle, in reality, Zhang Anshi had no blood relationship with him, not to mention the fact that there was no relationship with him since he was a child.

In Zhu Jun’s opinion, as the so-called commoner son in the East Palace, he had to be subordinate at all times, and now that he had finally reached adulthood and was about to leave for a vassal state, what would be the point of giving Zhang Anshi, his uncle, the power to interfere with his own affairs and give him guidance at every turn? This uncle is selfish, how can I trust him completely?

Therefore, it must be firmly rebuffed at the moment, and only in this way can he make himself less of a straitjacket in the future.

Naturally, he would never dare to say anything about tigers and wolves in front of his Royal Grandfather, which is why he carefully and discretionarily said such grand words, i.e., to maintain the harmony on the surface, but also to show his resolute attitude.

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips slightly, and gazed at Zhu Jun, his expression seeming to be weighing something.

Zhu Gaoqi, who was sitting on the sidelines, also had a slightly unsightly face.

On the other hand, Zhu Zhan Yong and Zhu Zhan-Sun, the two unscrupulous ones, seemed to be very happy to see their uncle suffer, and actually had a smile on their faces. As if to say, uncle also has the time to be defeated.

On the other hand, Zhu Zhan Yin, who was born from the same mother as Zhu Jun, looked at his second brother with a worried expression.

Zhang Anshi was a bit embarrassed, and was busy trying to cover himself by lowering his head and going to drink the watery wine.

Only after a long time did Zhu speak slowly, saying, “Is that so? This was your idea?”

The voice wasn’t light or heavy, as if it were saying something rare and commonplace.

But when these words came out, Zhu Jun was startled, and a trace of horror swept across his face.

Obviously, the sudden words of the Emperor’s grandfather made Zhu Jun Jun feel cold.

What he expected was that he was His Majesty’s grandson, and since he was a grandson, and at this time he was preparing to take up residence in the clan, just at this parting time, even if he refused this ‘good intention’, his Royal Grandfather would never blame him.

However, he did not realize that his grandfather’s way of thinking was beyond Zhu Jun’s expectations.

Of course, Zhu Di would not blame his grandson, but Zhu Jun’s words made Zhu Di wary.

What he means by this is, was this your own idea? Or, perhaps, did someone teach you something?

And who can teach Zhu Jun, who lives in the East Palace?

The masters who taught them how to read and write were obviously impossible, because the scholars who taught the royal grandchildren were never the only ones who taught Zhu Jun, nor could they have shown any special favoritism to him; they didn’t have the guts to do so, nor would they ever have the will to do so.

As for the eunuchs and palace eunuchs, it is also unlikely that they could be expected to say anything that would be acceptable to Zhu Jun, as they are a bunch of waitresses, many of whom cannot read or write.

Zhu Di almost pointed his finger at Zhu Jun’s nose and asked, “Is it your mother, Li, who is behind this?

Therefore, when Zhu Jun Jun heard this, he suddenly began to perspire. He squeezed his cold sweaty palms, tried to stabilize his mind, and said with trepidation, “This is Sun Chen’s own thought. …”

Zhu hooked his lips and smiled.

Zhang Anshi sat on the sidelines and glanced at Zhu Di.

He was well aware of Zhu.

If Zhu Jun Jun hurriedly admits his mistake at this time, then Zhu Di will not continue to ask about this matter, after all, …… he will not be general with a child.

However, Zhu Jun’s subconscious defense was a big mistake.

This kind of sophistry, that is, the level of strong words in the theater, to the level of Zhu Di such a person, take this set of sophistry, almost equal to the insult to the intelligence of Zhu Di.

This Zhu laughed, but he was obviously moved to real anger.

Zhang Anshi didn’t want to make a scene, so he said, “Your Majesty, please don’t. Jun is still young. When I was a child, I was even more confused than him.”

Zhu Di sneered and said, “If you are like this at a young age, you’ll be even worse when you’re older.”

There was a lot of mockery in those words.

However, I do not know whether Zhang Anshi’s persuasion has had an effect, Zhu Di’s face is cold, but said: “You do not have to Zhang Qingjia to protect you, that also everything by you, I have been Royal Decree that you are Zheng Wang, then this Zheng things, since by your own ideas.”

With his heart pounding in fear, Zhu Jun finally breathed a long sigh of relief and kowtowed, “Sun Chen thanks His Majesty for his grace.”

Zhu Di, however, added: “Your mother consort …… is Li Zhaoxun?”

Zhu Jun shivered and said, “Yes …… yes ……”

The Prince’s wives and concubines also have different ranks, such as the main consort, there are side consorts, in addition, there are concubines, and so on, and under this, there are Feng Yi, Zhaoxun, Cheng Hui, Liangyuan, Liang Di and so on the title.

The mother is always honored by her son, and Li, who gave birth to Zhu Jun and Zhu Zhan Yin for the Crown Prince, should have been promoted to concubine, if not to side consort, but was only a concubine, which shows how lowly her status was before that. (It was mentioned that Li was a side consort, and has now been changed to Zhaoxun)

Zhu only breathed out and said, “How is her body?”

Mr. Zhu Jun said, “It’s still …… still good ……”

Zhu Di said: “her two sons, are about to go to Fusan on the clan, I’m afraid that by then she heart also misses very much, may as well so, I’ll open the grace, allowed to go out of the East Palace, along with the two of your brothers, to Fusan to serve, to spend the days of it.”

Zhu Di said, glancing sideways at Zhu Gaoqi, who sat still.

On the other hand, Zhu Jun had mixed feelings. According to the rules, going to a vassal town to be supported is a grace, but usually, it is only after the father’s death that he is allowed to do so.

In the case of the father is still alive, brought to the vassal state, which is almost equivalent to exile, which also means that this time to the country, in the Ming Dynasty, there will be no one and the two brothers have anything to do with them, there will be no one in the emperor, or the crown prince side, to speak for the two brothers.

But right now, this decision made by the Imperial Grandfather was clearly a sign that he had grown wary of their mother.

His heart sank, but he had no choice but to say, “Sunchen …… thanks His Majesty for his grace.”

Zhu Di only false lifted his hand, said faintly: “Well, I am tired, you and so on …… go down, the day after tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac ……”

He didn’t continue, showing exhaustion.

Zhu Gaoqi, at this point, scrambled to get up and led Zhang Anshi and his sons to say, “I will retire.”

…………

“Haha …… haha ……”

Zhu Jun Yong and Zhu Jun-Sun, both of them, almost fell over in laughter, without any imperial demeanor.

They’re just in a happy mood, aren’t they?

Zhang Anshi, who came out of the hall and out of the palace, glared at them with an angry look on his face and said, “What are you laughing at, heartless thing.”

When Zhu Zhanlong saw Zhang Anshi was really angry, he immediately showed a pitiful look and said, “A …… uncle …… doesn’t smile anymore, I don’t smile …… ”

Zhang Anshi said, “Ai, it is really a dog biting L眉 Dongbin and not recognizing the good heart, pity me for illuminating the moon with my heart, but the bright moon fills the ditch.”

“A uncle …… don’t say it, don’t say it, your words carry a sour flavor.” Zhu Zhanlong said, “If A-Uncle is like this again, I can’t hold back my laughter again.”

Zhang Anshi waved his hand and said, “You two, you have to strive for excellence. Look at other people’s children. Jun, that kid, even though he doesn’t know what’s good for him, at least I heard that he’s doing well in his schoolwork, and he’s honest in his daily life. My poor sister, you’re not as good as you used to be.”

Zhu Zhanlong beamed, “I’ll talk to Mother Consort later ……”

Zhu Zhan-Sun, on the other hand, doggedly said, “Uncle, I’m not laughing at you.”

Zhang Anshi then said, “You guys will soon be inaugurating the clan, and I don’t know how sad Sister will be then. At the loss of you now laugh out, really heartless things!”

Said here, he sighed and said, “also, these two days, your uncle is a busy, less …… to give you a charter, so as to teach you the future after the clan, have a good life.”

“Charter?” Zhu Zhanlong blinked and said, “Uncle, what we want is not a charter, it would be better for Uncle, to give us more silver for more pain.”

Zhang Anshi laughed coldly, “Don’t worry, you won’t be short of silver, but it’s uncle who is still counting on a little fall wind from you. Silver is now a small matter, what is important now is to teach you how to spend it well.”

With that, he waved his hand and said as he walked away, “Let’s go, I’ll see you all tomorrow.”

Saying so, he boarded the carriage and horse that had come to receive him without looking back.

By the evening of the following day, Zhang Anshi did arrive at the East Palace.

From a long distance, some sad voices could be heard from the Crown Princess Zhang’s chambers, nothing more than some mother’s thousand words of advice.

Zhang Anshi went in and saluted.

But she saw Zhang’s tears at this time, she saw Zhang Anshi come, so she collected her tears, tearful, seemed to have something to say to Zhang Anshi, waved her hand, letting Zhu Zhanlong and Zhu ZhanSun, who were kneeling at the foot, go down.

Two people at this time also drooped their heads, the face of all the heartless look, seems to have cried, face still residual a little trace of tears.

As soon as the two of them left, Zhang sighed, “Marrying here is both a blessing from heaven and I don’t know if it’s an unfortunate thing to do, with the child still being so young.”

Zhang Anshi relieved, “Sister, are not small, not to mention the other, this Zhan Yong’s child is about to be born ……”

Zhang said, “You don’t always have to top one thing I say.”

“Oh, oh.” Zhang Anshi was busy nodding.

Zhang also said: “The East Palace this side, are almost ready, you …… you there should also be prepared, Fusang there …… even if really how good, but also far less than home, this vassal state thing, I am a woman, also do not quite understand You this do a uncle, but to think about some thoughtful.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Sister don’t worry, I’m all ready to keep the two of them, in the future, they will be countless times faster than other feudal lords.”

Zhang glared at him and said, “Don’t be so slick, I just want them to be peaceful, what’s the use of being fast?”

Zhang Anshi busily moved away from the topic and said, “Sister, that Li Zhaoxun, is also going to Fusang, right?”

Zhang calmed down at this time and faintly said, “It’s being prepared.”

Zhang Anshi thought about it, carefully said, “Fortunately rely on your majesty’s saintly, otherwise, I see this Li Zhaoxun, is not an oil saving lamp …….”

Zhang sat down and gently sipped her tea, but said, “But anyone who is in the palace, which one is a saving grace?”

Zhang Anshi was directly disliked by this sentence.

Then he said resentfully, “Sister, in fact, this matter, I face is not much loss, is worried …….”

Zhang but laughed and said: ”Worry? What are you worried about? Why do I see that you are instigating something.”

“Don’t dare, don’t dare.” Zhang Anshi was busy saying.

Zhang then said, “You must be thinking that Zhu Jun must have been instigated by his mother, right? You’re right, but don’t think about it. Your sister is the Eastern Palace Concubine and will be the mother of the whole world, and your own child, Zhu Junji, will be the successor to the throne, and you’re his brother, so which of the concubines in the Eastern Palace won’t be jealous and hateful? One is not cynical and hateful?”

“This is the human heart, a person is perfect, how can not teach people to hate? Only, some people can appear to be intimate and obsequious, everywhere careful, do not dare to show. And some people, can not hide, can not help but show some footage. Anshi, people in the world, is so, there is always happiness, you have to know the mind of others, do not be easily deceived, naturally, you also need to know, this world a face, hiding what kind of mind.”

“Teach you to know the intentions of others, not let you therefore born hate, must covet others after the mind, therefore born indignation and kill idea, if so, this under the sky, you kill all the people? With the heart of insight, it only teaches you to be able to alert yourself at all times, not to be easily confused by the people around you with words or flattery, so that you do not know the heights of heaven and the depths of the earth.”

“This world, can insight into the hearts of many people, but after insight into the hearts of people, but instead can be calm and indifferent, but few and far between, there are many people in the world, but also smart, always able to guess other people’s minds, but because of this wisdom, the opposite is caught in the paranoia, always feel that the hearts of the people is so fearful, and thus more and more insidious and venomous, but do not know that he more and more of the same time, but rather …… the person who is really maimed is not other people, but he himself now.”

“You just taught me to be careful, in fact, over the years, the minds of those people below, why don’t I know. But since I know what they are thinking, but on the contrary, I can calmly face it, why do you think?”

Zhang Anshi didn’t expect that his sister would want to talk to him about the big theory, so he said, “Say it, don’t be so secretive, we’re siblings, I’m not here to listen to a book.”

Zhang pursed her lips, face more and more calm: “This is because, really can become a big thing, can be higher than the crowd, often need to have the amount of tolerance, some small things, do not have to worry about in the heart, as long as this up and down the people, do not get in the way of my business is.”

Zhang Anshi said, “What is Sister’s proper business?”

Zhang said: ”To say that it’s the countryside and mountains of Daming, that’s an exaggeration. I am a woman, what can I do? What is always important to me is the Crown Prince, a few children, and you, my brother! As long as do not really harm to you, other people, can pretend to be confused, can also be treated with leniency, but if the people and things that are important to you can not live in peace, then ……”

Zhang spoke eloquently, very calmly, but here, the tone was quite a bit high-pitched, saying, “Then the Crown Princess of Daming, is not soft and weak to be bullied.”

Zhang Anshi laughed sardonically, “Hey …… A sister …… is like me, I am also like this on weekdays.”

Zhang said: “As for what you just said Li Zhaoxun, she is a woman, but too stupid, with such a person, can not general knowledge. You ah …… you rest to hang on yesterday’s matter, a family …… is ultimately a family, our Zhang family is now to this point, do things, as long as it does not offend the fundamental, then it may as well be open to some of the time, a lot of times, we siblings act, not to do to ourselves, but for others to see, understand?”

Zhang Anshi was busy saying, “Yes, yes.”

Zhang said, “Zhu Zhan Yong and Zhu Zhan Yin two brothers, although not my flesh and blood, but in theory, the end is also the grandson of the emperor, they see the Palace, or to call a mother, rushing this, you do not give them to make bad.”

Zhang Anshi busily said, “I don’t dare, I don’t dare.”

Zhang then called out again, “Someone come.”

Not long after, a eunuch tiptoed in and said, “What does Your Highness command?”

Zhang said: “urge to go down the gift, can be prepared? Li Zhaoxun body is not good, this time with the son of the clan, I’m afraid it’s not easy, to bring some more medicine, both to do my sister’s heart, but also to teach her along the way to be able to be safe.”

“Your Majesty, it’s all ready.”

“Send it off.” Zhang said, “I’ll check on her at night.”

“Here.”
