Chapter 60: The Feast of All Souls

Zhu Yong hala all want to flow down, his family although there is a duke, but that is hereditary, still have to wait for the old man died to be eligible to inherit it.

Zhang Yoking also said enviously, “Big brother is just awesome, in the blink of an eye, he has already been knighted.”

Zhang Anshi comforted them, “Big brother did this, but also for you ah, now your parents do not care about you, want to save you out, I must be a new man, and strive to stay in front of his majesty to leave a good impression, only close to his majesty, get the grace, after three to five years, and then sobbed blood for you to advocate for you, so that you will be able to escape from the life of the world. ”

Zhang Yoking cocked his head and thought about it, thinking that it made sense.

Zhu Yong said: “Big brother, here there is food and drink, and there are brothers as a companion, although it is difficult, but I am not worried, the only worry is my father, big brother, you are outside, help me to keep an eye on a little, that old fool is not good at home financial management, don’t wait for me to go out, my family business to him to defeat the end.”

“Ah …… this …… “Zhang Anshi never thought that Zhu Yong was so precocious, at a young age, he had already begun to take care of his family, “I’ll have time to persuade Uncle Shih.”

Zhang Yoking yoked his head instead at this point and said nothing.

Zhang Anshi then looked at him and said, “What is it, Third Brother.”

Zhang Yoking said, “My father to know me like this, must be heartbroken very much, the world only my father and big brother will remember me, but unfortunately …… he went first.”

Zhang Anshi touched his head through the fence and sighed, “In the future, you will be more successful than your father, and when that time comes to exhale and raise the beauty, Uncle Shih will be pleased in heaven.”

Zhang Yoking nodded.

Zhang Anshi looked at Qiu Song, who was lying on his back motionless in his cell without a care in the world, and glanced at him, “What’s wrong with fourth brother? Falling asleep.”

Zhu Yong said, “He’s just like that, big brother ignore him.”

Only then did Qiu Song move, laying down on the filthy ground in a dignified manner, lifting up his own clothes to reveal his small belly, “Big brother, I’m tanning my belly.”

Zhang Anshi was surprised: “There is no sunlight here, and what is the mystery of this sunburned belly?”

Chusong gently rubbed his small belly and said with a chipper voice, “When there’s sunshine in your heart, you can get sunshine.”

Seems to think that Zhang Anshi’s IQ may not understand the mystery, he added: “My father said, people practicing martial arts, the stomach is the most important, this belly to be brown, to be thick, in the sand to live a long time, there is such a good skin, in the future can do great things.”

With that, he patted his small belly with a seemingly showy snap.

Zhang Anshi didn’t know how to take it and was speechless for a moment.

The three brothers were silent for a moment before Zhang Anshi began to take out his food box, “Come, come, come, come, see what big brother has brought you.”

After saying that, he looked around before carefully saying, “I also brought you some water and wine, let’s drink some here, we are still young, it’s not appropriate to drink too much, it’s just enough to have a good time.”

Zhang Yoking said, “Big brother is so good to us, always remembering us.”

With that said, the three of them sat down on the ground, across the fence, and took out food and drink.

At the sight of it, the jailer in charge of the duty at a distance was so scared that his face turned as if it was dirt, and he hurriedly pinned his head to the other side, pretending that he hadn’t seen anything.

“Fourth brother, come drink and eat meat.”

Qiu Song is still sunning the belly, not moving, mouth: “do not eat, not sun enough, but also an incense stick, you eat.”

Zhu Yong muttered in a low voice, “Big brother don’t be angry, he’s just like that.”

A look of helplessness.

…………

In two days, it will be All Saints’ Day.

Zhang Anshi visited the three brothers, then obediently slipped back and honestly continued to be taught by Deng Jian and Yang Shiqi.

Closed for several days in a row.

And at …… this time, in the desolate mansion, Zhu Di sat motionless.

At his heels, a table of drinks was set up, the dishes and drinks were already cold, Zhu did not move his chopsticks, pondering.

A few moments later, there are broken steps hurriedly came, a guard saluted, whispered: “Your Majesty, these days …… do not know why, do not see Guo De Gan in the often go to a few places to go out, party humble people and so on around the search, but also do not see its traces.”

Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded faintly, “Got it.”

“How about ……” This guard hesitated for a moment, “giving a note to the brocade guards to poke around ……”

Zhu remained motionless, his eyes slightly narrowed as if he was pondering something.

It has been more than two years since he ascended the throne as emperor, and there is something else.

Once upon a time, I saw how honored Emperor Taizu Gao was when he was on the throne.

But when Zhu Di also called orphans and widows, only to know what is called the real loner.

The military generals who used to call themselves brothers and brothers are now so respectful of themselves that they are even careful about what they say.

In the past, the family and beautiful, happy in their own knees of the sons, still close to their own, but Zhu Di in them to see the ambition, see in addition to affection, there is a struggle for power and profit calculation.

Countless subjects, now gazing at him, guessing his mind, some wanting to flatter, some wanting to curry favor, and some disdainful of his killing his nephew to seize the throne.

The burden of all the people of the world is also weighing on Zhu Di.

Occasionally, Zhu would think back to his time in Peking, when he and his army generals would call each other brothers and sisters, and let loose with laughter while wrestling and drinking.

I also think of the laughter of families sitting around the fire in the cold winter months, warming a little wine and talking freely to each other.

Only very occasionally, Zhu swept a glance at this cold wine table in front of him, and he knew that the dishes were cold, and the warm wine had gone cold.

Half a month ago, also and he gabbed a did not stop that teenager, now seems to be no more than a dream.

What you see and feel is like a bubble.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty ……”

“Hmm?” Zhu snapped back.

The guard said, “Is it to ask the brocade guards ……”

Zhu Di is a long body and rise, seems in this moment, and restored to look forward to since the majesty of the emperor: “do not have to, all by go to it.”

Saying so, the dragon walked and left in a hurry.

Only a cup of tea at this banquet table still has a trace of warmth left.

…………

All Saints’ Day.

The Eastern Palace began to be decorated early in the morning.

In order to congratulate Zhu Di’s birthday, Zhu Gaoqi got up early this morning and went to the palace first to wish him well.

It was midday when he returned, and by this time, Zhang Anshi had been urged by Deng Jian to assemble at the East Palace.

Along for the ride is Yang Shiqi, who is actually in a good mood today as he is about to finish his last day of graveside visits.

The Crown Prince of course had to personally inquire about Zhang Anshi’s schoolwork, and Teng Jian, forever maintaining a smiling expression, saluted, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, in terms of etiquette, it won’t be a problem.”

Zhu Gaoqi listened, then looked at Yang Shiqi: “Yang Qing, how is the literature of the scriptures?”

Yang Shiqi was silent for a moment and replied, “Slightly better than before.”

Zhu Gaoqi came to be interested and said, “Serving Lecturer Yang has worked hard, perhaps Anshi can also learn from the world in the future.”

Yancey was reticent.

Only then did Zhu Gaoqi realize that Yang Shiqi was probably just being polite, so he looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “Anshi, ah, after entering the palace, be careful and meticulous.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Don’t worry, brother-in-law, I will not disgrace you.”

Zhu Gaoqi laughed dryly, “Go to the inner court first, and meet your A-sister.”

After saying that, he led Zhang Anshi to Crown Princess Zhang’s chambers.

Zhang, at this time, was dressing Zhu Zhanji.

This is the grandson of the emperor. Today’s birthday banquet, the emperor must have asked about his grandson.

Zhu Zhanji is only four years old, has reached the age of being able to walk, he is dressed in a new clothes, head wearing a small one covered with a black veil of winged goodness crown, looks divine.

Zhang Anshi gave Zhang a greeting, “Sister.”
