Zhu Youjian entered the palace early the next morning, and the two brothers had not seen each other for many years.

One stood on the high threshold of the Ganqing Palace, and the other was wearing princely clothes, walking forward slowly from afar.

Both of them grew up in the Forbidden City and are extremely familiar with it. There have been too many things happening.

Zhu Xu carried his back with one hand and looked at Zhu Youjian who was getting closer, with his eyes calm and a smile on his lips.

Over the years, his guilt for snatching the throne of Zhu Youjian has long disappeared without a trace, and only his monarch and ministers and brothers.

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Xu, who was standing there, like a mountain that could not be looked up at, and his heart, which had already been calm, was once again turbulent, and too many past events surged into his heart for a moment.

Back then, when His Majesty the Emperor was King Hui, there were already traces of ignoring the patriarchal law. Zhu Youjian conducted an investigation for this and submitted complaints to Tianqi and Empress Dowager Zhang repeatedly.

But Tianqi and Empress Dowager Zhang were extremely doting and sheltering this person, and even covered up many things.

What he could not imagine the most was why their emperor brother, Emperor Tianqi, passed him over and passed the throne to Lao Liu, which was not in line with the family rules of the ancestors.

There was not much trouble in the court and the country. His Highness Hui ascended the throne smoothly and vigorously cleaned the court. This process was shockingly smooth.

"If the scenery is correct, you believe in the king but not the king." This rumor is the biggest question of the emperor today, and the government and the opposition to the "New Deal" and the most powerful support for public opinion.

Zhu Youjian had thought about it, but Zhu Xu succeeded to the throne, and he and many ministers listened to him with their own ears in front of the bed of the Apocalypse, and could not do anything false.

Zhu Youjian kept approaching, and his boiling thoughts suddenly became quiet in surprise before Zhu Xu. He raised his hand and said, "My minister Zhu Youjian met the emperor and the empress."

"No gift!" Zhu Xu stepped forward, held Zhu Youjian with a smile, and said, "We brothers don't have to be so polite. Come on, let's go, I'll arrange a welcome banquet for you."

Queen Zhang Yun stood beside Zhu Xu, smiling and said, "Uncle Wu, please."

Zhu Youjian was a serious person. After thanking him, he followed Zhu Xu and his wife into the Ganqing Palace.

In the side hall, Zhu Xu's daughters and sons, as well as Zhu Youjian's Princess Zhou, son Zhu Cilang, Empress Dowager Zhang and Xiao Yongning.

Zhu Youjian did not expect this and raised his hand to Queen Mother Zhang and said, "I have met the emperor's sister-in-law."

Empress Dowager Zhang really hoped that the two brothers would be harmonious, nodded and said, "It's all my family, so there is no need to be polite."

Several children, including Xiao Yongning, were relatively unfamiliar with Uncle Xin Wang. At Zhang Yun's gesture, they raised their hands together and said fragilely: "I have met Uncle Xin Wang."

Zhu Youjian was a little uncomfortable with such a scene and responded stiffly.

Zhang Yun stood beside Zhu Xu, looked at the group of people, and said with a smile, "Let's sit down, we are we welcome Uncle Wu today, and it's also a family banquet."

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhang also greeted her and a group of people sat down.

Princess Zhou sat next to King Xin, with her face and heart very nervous. She was suddenly called by the Queen.

Zhu Cilang seemed very quiet, sitting next to him, looking at such a large group of people curiously.

Zhu Xu's children were all looking at Zhu Youjian. This fifth uncle is also a legendary figure, especially overseas for more than three years, which made them very interested.

Zhu Xu sat in the main seat, watched the dishes come up one by one, picked up the wine glass and turned to Zhu Youjian, saying, "Brother, thank you for your hard work, let's have a drink."

Zhu Youjian had a plain expression, picked up the wine glass and said, "I dare not."

The people at the big table were actually watching Zhu Xu and Zhu Youjian brothers, and did not interrupt.

After drinking a drink, Zhu Xu looked at the others and turned to Zhang Yun and said, "You greet the fifth emperor's sister-in-law, I will chat with the emperor brother."

Zhang Yun nodded slightly and turned to Princess Zhou and said, "Fifth Prince's sister-in-law, be kind, don't be restrained, just be at home."

Princess Zhou responded with a reserved attitude, her eyes always on Zhu Youjian, and she could not let go of the worries in her heart.

Zhu Xu picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and said with a smile: "I heard that the fifth emperor has been reading, what book has he read?"

Zhu Youjian did not move his chopsticks and said, "The Book of Zhou, the Records of Taizu, the History of Tang, and the History of Song."

Zhu Youjian grew up under traditional Confucian education, and his behavior was as demanding as a sage, and the books he read were the same.

Zhu Xu smiled quietly and said, "The emperor's brother is better than me. When I was young, I didn't like studying the most. I thought about going out to the palace to play all day long. I worry a lot about this, the emperor's brother and the emperor's sister-in-law..."

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a little stiff, Empress Dowager Zhang interrupted: "It's not just us, but the Fifth Emperor was also worried about you back then, and she covered you up a lot..."

Zhu Xu coughed. Some things happened in Kunning Palace back then were really disgraceful and could not be said in front of the children.

Xiao Yongning suddenly spoke and said, "Hmph, the emperor's uncle stole the previous things from my mother's harem back then, but now they are all placed in the Qianqing Palace, and they are still unwilling to repay..."

Empress Dowager Zhang quickly knocked on her, interrupted her, and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The little girl was very "hateful" about Zhu Xu not taking him to Jingdezhen. She rubbed her head and didn't dare to say anything else.

Empress Dowager Zhang deliberately eased the stiff atmosphere between Zhu Xu and Zhu Youjian, closed the blanket in front of him, and recalled: "At that time, the emperor was young, and he was very dissatisfied with the stupidity of the court. He did a lot of things for the previous emperor, but he had no investment, and I supplemented them all. I remembered that in the three years of Tianqi life, Sun Baigu Pavilion was forced to resign by Wei Zhongxian, and the emperor asked the previous emperor to keep him, and he also paid a lot of money..."

Regarding Empress Dowager Zhang's straightforward explanation, Zhu Xu smiled secretly and followed the topic: "Sun Baigu is a capable person. I have been watching it and hope he can do something. Since taking office, it has been really good, and everything is in place, and there is no big trouble. It's much safer than me."

Zhu Youjian understood what Zhu Xu meant and said, "I have no objection to Sun Ge Lao's innovation, and I have no objection to the ancestral family's residence belonging to the cabinet..."

Zhu Xu smiled with satisfaction and said, "What do the emperor think about the current royal family?"

The current Ming royal family has long been in decline, with no more than ten princes, and the population of the royal family is less than one thousand, so it cannot be described as miserable.

Zhu Youjian was silent for a moment and said, "I plan to separate all the land, shops, businesses, etc. involved in the royal family and move them all into the Ten Princes' Mansion. According to the new royal family law of the cabinet, the royal family population and salary are all fixed, which is easy to manage."

It’s still the same thing, and I’m raising all the royal families of the Zhu family as pigs and banned them.

Before Zhu Xu could speak, Zhu Youjian said: "What did the emperor plan about Prince Jing?"

King Jing was a special branch of the Ming Dynasty royal family. The special one was that King Jing was not a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, but his elder brother. He was originally named King Jingjiang and Prince King, but his salary was the same as that of the prince.

Zhu Xu later promoted the King of Jingjiang to King Jing and entered the cabinet to govern the government.

What Zhu Youjian asked was naturally not about King Jing’s throne, but about the position in the cabinet.

Zhu Xu glanced at Zhu Youjian and picked up the wine glass.

When Empress Dowager Zhang saw that the atmosphere became stiff again, she raised the aura of the eldest sister-in-law as her mother, and said to Zhu Xu: "The Fifth Emperor is her family, so you don't have to hide it anymore, just talk straight."

Zhu Xu put down the wine glass and smiled and said, "I didn't mean to hide it from the fifth brother."

Zhu Xu glanced at Zhu Cixuan and said, "I intend to let the fifth emperor's lineage enter the cabinet forever, take charge of the General Court, and supervise the government affairs from generation to generation... Starting with Cixuan."

Zhu Youjian's pupils shrank suddenly and he looked at Zhu Xu with a surprised expression.

Not only them, the table was shocked, the Princess Zhou, Queen Mother Zhang, and Zhang Yun.

No one expected that Zhu Xu would think so. But thinking about it carefully seemed natural.

Zhu Youjian is Zhu Xu's only brother, and the Tianqi lineage has no son, so it is almost the best arrangement for the King of Xin!

Princess Zhou was extremely afraid of Zhu Xu. Listening to Zhu Xu's gift, she was not excited, but looked at Zhu Youjian uneasy.

Zhu Youjian's face slashed hard, and his heart was even more upset.

He looked at Zhu Xu with burning eyes, and the news shocked him.

The demise of King Lu and King Jin made him feel sad that he died of rabbits and foxes. He always felt that Zhu Xu wanted to completely destroy all the royal families of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xu had already noticed the reaction of Zhu Youjian and others, picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Okay, these are things to do in the future. Today is a family dinner. Let's not talk about these, come and eat vegetables..."

Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhang Yun quickly greeted him, making the stiff atmosphere liven up.

After a while, Empress Dowager Zhang gave Xiao Ciye a secret wink.

The little guy seemed a little willing, but still looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "Fifth Uncle, is there anything new overseas...?"

Zhu Youjian tried his best to calm down the mood just now, looked at everyone, and said, "My biggest feeling this time I went to sea is that the world is really big, the Wanli map is already very big, but the whole world is probably more than a hundred times..."

A few little guys, including Yongning, had wide eyes. The little guys in Wanli Map knew that Zhu Xu's Dongguan Pavilion, study room, and cabinet class room were hung in various types.

"Is it really that big?" Xiao Cixuan asked with shiny eyes.

Zhu Youjian was very kind to the children and smiled and said, "From Fujian to sea, there is a continent thousands of miles away. The fleet has been circling around for more than half a year before it can reach the other side. In the Western barbarians, there are hundreds of countries, city-states, and great powers, Ottomans, connecting Russia, Russia is connected to the Mongolian tribes in the north, and Mongolian tribes of dozens of large and large Mongolian tribes occupying territories that are comparable to our Ming Dynasty, Russia, Ottomans, and larger than them..."

A few little guys were so excited that they opened their eyes wide.

Zhu Xu did not explain the mistake, held the wine glass and listened with a smile.

The little guys asked them what they were wearing, talking, eating, and all kinds of weird questions about children.

Zhu Youjian seemed extremely patient with children, especially Zhu Xu's legitimate son Zhu Cixuan, who was quite amiable. He picked up food for him from time to time and took the exam for the school.

The little guy is almost two years old, with a white and tender face, and he has a pair of eyes that are thorough. After eating, he occasionally says something vaguely.

No one could hear what he was saying, but Zhu Youjian was very satisfied. He picked up another piece of pastry and said, "For you to eat."

The little guy blinked and turned to look at Zhang Jun.

Zhang Yun quickly took it over and put it in his hand, saying, "Hurry up, thank you uncle."

The little guy then picked it up, put it in his mouth and bit it, looking at the people on the table, as if he was confused.

When Empress Dowager Zhang saw this, her heart was as clear as a mirror, and she was called relatives of different generations.

Empress Dowager Zhang hopes that the two brothers will be harmonious and do not perform the tragedy of brothers' conflicts. Looking at King Xin, she took out the posture of her eldest sister-in-law and said, "Ci Yang is not young anymore. She will live in the palace from now on and study with Ci Ye and the others. In the future, she will also share the worries of the emperor and give her life to the country..."

Zhu Youjian could naturally hear Empress Dowager Zhang's kindness and leaned forward and said, "I listen to the emperor's sister-in-law."

Queen Mother Zhang was satisfied and turned to Zhu Xu and said, "Don't just spend your government affairs. A few children were so unreasonable in Jingdezhen, just like when you were a child! I have talked with Xin Jianbo and I will give them a few, as well as those companions to study, and formulate strict reading plans. You must keep a good eye on them and don't indulge them to make a mess. It is very important to them at this time. Have you heard?"

Zhu Xugang put down the chopsticks he picked up again and said with a smile: "I heard that I have asked Xinjianbo to discuss with several other Hanlins and come up with a proper way. From now on, I will follow the method!"

Only then did Empress Zhang feel satisfied and chased after him: "Well, I will stare at you for no reason, don't even want to fool me!"

Zhu Xu smacked his lips, looked at the innocent eyes of several children, and sighed in his heart: "The father and the emperor can't help me, I can't mess with my sister-in-law. Your hard days are coming..."
