My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 56 He, Zhu Yunwen, is right!

As a child, Zhu Gaoyu certainly didn't care about the atmosphere at the dinner table.

after all……

Children should act like children.

But you know what, the chef of Duke Wei's family... is really good.

Children don't drink alcohol.

But there were a lot of people here today, including several uncles and brothers, so it was inevitable that we had a few drinks.

Zhu Yunhuan's personality was not very active.

Previously at the dinner table, Zhu Yunhuan seldom spoke. After just three or two glasses of wine, a blush appeared on Zhu Yunhuan's face. It seemed that he could not drink much and was already half drunk.

With misty eyes, he looked at Zhu Gaochi, and there seemed to be a hint of expectation in his eyes:
"Gao Chi, you said that outside the city of Beiping, there are endless grasslands and flocks of sheep, and deep in the desert, there are remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, waiting for the general to drink water from his horse and seal the wolf's lair... Is this true?"

Before Zhu Gaochi could answer, Zhu Gaoxu on the other side interrupted him and spoke loudly:
"What's the point of asking the boss these questions? He has never ridden across the grasslands. But speaking of it, Peking is indeed more comfortable than Nanjing."

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu revealed a trace of nostalgia.

Although he had only been in Jinling City for a short time, he felt as if a whole year had passed.

As he thought about it, he spoke:
"Although Nanjing is prosperous, Beiping is still a little deserted despite the business travel. But in Beiping, in the territory that belongs to you, you can let your horse run freely on the grassland."

"The most important thing is that even if I'm late for class in the morning, I'll just get scolded by my father. But if it's Grandfather Huang... Tsk tsk, I wouldn't dare to do that anyway."

"Alas... studying is too painful. I would rather go back and chase after the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty than spend all day in the Wenhua Palace, my butt is almost going to rot from sitting there."

After hearing the last words, Xu Huizu and Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but twitch their brows.

What vulgar language.

But then again, this kid really deserves a beating for what he said.

Those who go to Wenhua Hall to study are all taught by the top Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty.

That's it... Zhu Gaoxu was born in a blessed environment but he doesn't know how to appreciate it.

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, Zhu Yunhuan showed a yearning expression at the right time:
"The prince is living a carefree life. I don't have any great ambitions in my life, and I don't know when I will be able to be so carefree."

Zhu Yunwen paused while drinking his soup and said nothing.

Want to be a vassal king?
joke!

Zhu Yunwen wanted to overthrow all his uncles who were princes, so how could he allow his brother to become the next prince?

Even according to the private discussions between Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng, they had already vaguely entertained the idea of ​​reducing the power of the feudal lords.

Of course, this cannot be said openly, let alone in front of the Emperor.

The emperor is not dead yet, and his grandson is thinking about dealing with those uncles. If this matter gets known, I am afraid that Zhu Yunwen's fate will not be as simple as getting a beating on his butt.

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen didn't say anything, Zhu Yunhuan didn't seem to care. He just smiled, lowered his head and started eating.

But the moment he lowered his head, he was stunned when he saw the full bowl of food in Zhu Gaoyu next to him.

You know what, there are both meat and vegetarian dishes. This child is really not picky about food. No wonder he has grown so strong.

Zhu Yunhuan saw with his own eyes that a little boy like Zhu Gaoyu broke a wooden bow with great effort, and it seemed that he still had some strength left.

Is it possible that eating more... has such benefits?
Zhu Yunxun suddenly fell into deep thought...

But on the other side, Zhu Gaoxu teased his younger brother once a day.

While adding another bowl of rice to Zhu Gaoyu's bowl, he mocked him maliciously:

"If you keep eating like this, I'm afraid your waist will be gone."

Zhu Gaoyu was stunned for a moment. Looking at the sweet and soft rice, he didn't know whether to eat it or not.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw him like this, he tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that were curled up wildly, and he was almost laughing out loud with his teeth bared.

He knew that Zhu Gaoyu was a fearless kid, except for being afraid of being told he was fat.

I don't know where this little brat gets so many little ideas from.

It was at this time that the voices of Zhu Gaochi, Xu Zengshou, and Xu Huizu appeared at the same time, saying in unison:

"How can a child have a waist!"

Zhu Gaoxu was confused.

No!

So Zhu Gaoxu was so unpopular that everyone was on Zhu Gaoxu's side, right?!

And there was his uncle Xu Huizu, who usually did not have a good face when facing him and Zhu Gaoyu, but when the critical moment came, he actually sided with Zhu Gaoyu.

Zhu Gaoxu was injured.

He looked at Zhu Gaosui, one of the few people beside him who had not spoken, and finally felt a little comforted.

Fortunately, there are still people around Zhu Gaoxu who silently support him.

Zhu Gaoxu then put his arm around the third brother's shoulder with a smile on his face:

"Third brother, you are such a brother..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhu Gaosui, with a stern face, slowly removed Zhu Gaoxu's arm from his shoulder, and then spoke in a rather serious tone:
"Brother, the child died young. '夭' is the same as '腰', which doesn't have a good meaning. Don't say it next time."

Got it!
Zhu Gaoxu was now truly alone.

He took advantage of the fact that no one was around and secretly glared at Zhu Gaoyu. Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaoyu was not afraid at all. Instead, he showed a harmless smile.

But in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, this was a naked provocation.

the other side.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the brothers from his fourth uncle's family, who were flirting with each other, and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

Are these brothers?

Even Zhu Gaoxu, this unlucky guy who seems unpopular, is despised by others, but anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that they are a family.

but……

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Zhu Yunxun, who seemed a little drunk. He leaned back in his chair with his eyes half closed, as if he was indifferent to everything in front of him.

Zhu Yunwen, who had always been someone else's child, finally experienced what someone else's...brother was.

But he himself was very clear that as long as he sat on the position of the crown prince and as long as he was determined to reduce the power of the princes, he, Zhu Yunwen, was destined to be alone.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen felt inexplicably depressed.

Was he wrong?

He was not wrong.

For the sake of the Ming Dynasty's eternal achievements, he did this... in line with the trend of the times!
Zhu Yunwen believed and firmly believed in this truth.

Previously, the emperor abolished the prime minister and strengthened the imperial power.

So if Zhu Yunwen wanted to reduce the power of the princes in the future in order to strengthen the imperial power, what was wrong with that?
