My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 155 Are you here to be a lobbyist?

Just as Geng Bingwen was marching northward with an inexplicable feeling, Zhu Gaoyu followed his third brother, riding at full speed all the way, and after going through several winds and rains and several lights, they finally arrived in Daning.

Daning is a strategic military town located between Zhangjiakou and Jinzhou, northeast of Peking.

After several twists and turns, plus days of traveling, even though Zhu Gaoyu had stayed in the carriage the whole time, when he came out, he still looked tired and exhausted.

But Zhu Gaoyu was not sleepy.

I was bored on the road and had plenty of time to sleep, but I slept too long and my temples started throbbing and my head ached.

When they arrived at the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, the guards in front of the gate just took a look from a distance and their expressions changed slightly.

The carriage has a gilded bronze phoenix head, a ruyi bead plate, red flag spokes, and white silk hanging on the body of the carriage.

This kind of ceremony is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

It looks like the standard for a duke or a prince.

Just as he glanced over, one of the guards at the door opened the door and rushed inside.

But after a while, the door of Prince Ning's Mansion slowly opened.

Then a tall and handsome man with a smile on his face came striding towards the direction of Zhu Gaoyu and Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaosui hasn't set off yet.

Zhu Gaoyu grinned, roared with excitement, and ran towards Prince Ning:

"Uncle Seventeen!!!"

Prince Ning was also very happy.

He hugged Zhu Gaoyu and tried to throw him up, while he shouted with a smile:
"Good nephew!"

Just as he hugged Zhu Gaoyu and was about to throw him up, Prince Ning paused.

If Zhu Gaosui walked forward a few steps and observed carefully, he would have discovered that Prince Ning's arm was shaking a little.

King Ning was silent for a while.

He put Zhu Gaoyu on the ground again, brushed off the non-existent dust on his sleeves, and spoke calmly:
"You're already grown up, you shouldn't hug me anymore."

Zhu Gaoyu never accepted any kind of suppression.

He just looked at Prince Ning:

"Uncle Seventeen, can't you hold me anymore?"

Prince Ning's face turned red strangely, and then he refuted with a hint of anger:

"Shouldn't you be fat again?"

Zhu Gaoyu snorted coldly:
"Adults are always like this. They blame children for things they can't do. Why can't you reflect on yourself more?"

Prince Ning remained silent.

This may be the reason why he doesn't have many children until now.

Sometimes when I look at children, I think they are very cute.

Especially someone like Zhu Gaoyu, who is white and fat, talks a lot and is very good at talking.

When I am happy, my heart turns into soft water and I wish I could have a child like him right now.

But when the child gets annoying, he would like to push the blame directly to his mother and pretend that he, the father, does not exist.

Neither love nor hate...

Just like his own son - Zhu Panyan.

It was at this time that Zhu Gaosui had come near the uncle and nephew, smiling:

"Uncle Seventeen."

Prince Ning glanced at Zhu Gaosui and saw that although he was younger than his elder brother, he was steady in speech, upright in appearance, and handsome in features. Prince Ning couldn't help but smile again.

He showed admiration in his eyes and patted Zhu Gaosui on the shoulder:

"Not bad. He's calmer than when we met last time. He has some of your father's demeanor now."

Zhu Gaoyu rolled his eyes and pretended not to understand:
"My father's style? Uncle Seventeen, I think you have style too. I wish I could be like you when I grow up..."

When Prince Ning heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

But because of the younger generation here, he still has to maintain the calm demeanor of an elder.

Otherwise, after such a series of flattery from Zhu Gaoyu, wouldn't Prince Ning be laughing so hard that his teeth were showing?
Zhu Gaosui stood by, looked at his younger brother, then looked at Prince Ning, who was only in his early twenties with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

Compared with his shrewd father and his cunning and treacherous younger brother... Prince Ning is not only too young, but also too weak.

But it was not Zhu Gaosui's turn to say this.

Who made him come this time...to persuade King Ning?

……

Inside Prince Ning’s Mansion.

When talking about Prince Gu who had already gone south, Prince Ning Zhu Quan just sneered.

"Prince Gu has some small plans, but not great wisdom. Moreover, he has a flawed character and is prone to arrogance. I saw this when we were still following Taizu's footsteps."

"As for why you came here, I understand."

"If the emperor really wants to summon me to respond to Tianfu with a court order, I will definitely not go back."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Gaoyu and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other inconspicuously, and they both saw the same look in each other's eyes.

Prince Ning's reaction was exactly the same as what Zhu Di said when he arrived.

Ning Wang Zhu Quan was talking so excitedly at this time that he missed the eye-to-eye quarrel between Zhu Gaoyu and his elder brother. He was still mumbling:
"When Taizu was here, he entrusted Da Ning to me. I guarded this place carefully. Why do you want me to go back now? Why should I respond to Tianfu? Do you want to see Zhu Yunwen's face?"

It is obvious that deep down in his heart, Prince Ning did not think highly of Zhu Yunwen.

He watched Zhu Gaoyu peeling hazelnuts, and while helping him, he complained bitterly.

He is the only one in Daning on weekdays. He is young, and even though he is a prince, his temperament is inevitably more eccentric than that of Prince Yan.

Now that his two nephews had arrived, Zhu Quan's son naturally couldn't help but start muttering.

"Speaking of our emperor, he is really unrefined. On the one hand, he wants to be known as a benevolent king, but on the other hand, he dislikes us princes. Why doesn't he think about the fact that we princes, especially your father and I, are either stationed at the frontier or in the local areas?"

"Without us princes, how can Zhu Yunwen sit firmly on the chair under his buttocks?"

Zhu Quan was still cursing, and Zhu Gaoyu came closer and blinked:

"Uncle Seventeen, have you ever thought about..."

Prince Ning stopped talking, looked at Zhu Gaoyu, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

He looked at Zhu Gaoyu for a long time, and then Prince Ning spoke slowly:
"Boy, are you here to be your father's lobbyist?"

Zhu Gaoyu smiled:
"Uncle Seventeen, don't you really have any ideas? You obviously also... Never mind, we are all grown men, so let's act like men and be brave enough to take responsibility!"

Prince Ning calmed down.

"no!"

Now both Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoyu were a little depressed.

This Uncle Seventeen is cautious and twisted.

I really don’t know who I inherited this stubborn temper from!
They also didn't know if King Ning would treat the two brothers kindly if he found out about their second mission.

There was a flaw in what I wrote yesterday. Zhu Quan already had a son, Zhu Panyi, and I mixed up the princes. I would like to correct it. Sorry guys!
