Chapter 3: A 300-pound father, plus a sturdy mother(1/2)
Return to the Prince's Mansion.
Before Zhu Zhanji entered the door, he saw several officials of the Prince's Mansion being pushed out by a group of royal guards.
These officials are not of high rank, they are all green robes, and there are even a few who are not of high rank.
The highest rank in the middle is only the eighth rank with a green robe and an oriole.
Zhu Zhanji did not know this person, but this person obviously knew Zhu Zhanji.
When he saw Zhu Zhanji, he immediately began to cry and complain:
"Your Highness Taisun, I have been wronged. The Holy Emperor is in power, but the royal guards are in power, abusing their power, and being punished for their innocence. I hope Your Highness Taisun will make the decision for me and others."
As soon as this person took the lead, the rest of the people began to cry out angrily.
When Zhu Zhanji was shocked by what he heard, the only leading Jin Yiwei wearing Feiyu uniform hurriedly ran over and explained in a low voice:
"Your Highness Taisun, we are following His Majesty's will."
Zhu Zhanji naturally knew that this was Zhu Di's common method of beating his three sons.
"I know!"
Zhu Zhanji glanced at the officials of the Eastern Palace who were looking at him eagerly. He took out a few golden beans from his pocket and threw them to the leading Jinyiwei. He saw that Jinyiwei caught them skillfully.
warned:
"You are a smart man. Since it is His Majesty's intention, you must also understand that these adults will not be able to stay in the prison for a few days. The prison is cold and cold. You can take the money and use it for food and drink. Take care of it. On weekdays,
Li Mo wants to neglect these adults. If you don't have enough money, come to me. If you have extra money, you can take the other brothers to a restaurant."
"Thank you Taisun for the reward!"
Jin Yiwei looked at the heavy golden beans in his hand, with an unstoppable smile on his face.
These Jin Doudou can serve not only a few officials well, but also ten or twenty more. It will be no problem.
Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and said nothing more. The king of hell is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
He is not short of a few golden peas, and he can win the favor of these subordinate officials by spending some of them.
After doing this, Zhu Zhanji bowed slightly to several subordinate officials with cupped fists.
Seeing this, several subordinate officials also understood. Some sighed, some shook their heads, but they didn't say anything else.
These petty officials, who are as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, are forced to get involved in these royal affairs, and they can only consider themselves unlucky.
Zhu Zhanji turned around and walked into the Prince's Mansion. As soon as he passed through the front yard, before he could enter the inner yard, a heartbreaking cry came out:
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
He's under house arrest. It's okay for the prince to be under house arrest. Ugh... let the second brother come. Didn't he pat the second son on the shoulder and say something like, second brother, your eldest brother is not in good health. You have to work hard. Well, let the second son come.
Come and be the prince..."
With heartbreaking cries, Zhu Zhanji paused slightly as he stepped into the inner courtyard, then turned around and planned to run away.
But before he had time, he was stopped by a faint voice:
"Son, you've come back just in time. Let's pack up our things now. I'll go find your grandpa early tomorrow morning. Our family will go back to Shuntian right now. If Yingtian Mansion doesn't wait for you, the prince will let your second uncle be the one.
.”
"Ahem..."
Zhu Zhanji turned around bravely and looked at a speechless fat man sitting there on the steps of the inner courtyard.
He weighed about three hundred pounds and had slightly messy hair. He held a volume of imperial edict in his arms and spoke without forgetting to twitch and whine twice.
Several palace maids and eunuchs stood around dumbfounded, not daring to step forward to offer support or comfort.
Zhu Zhanji was so angry that he sold these poor guys without hesitation, pretending to be angry:
"Are they all dead? Didn't you see the prince sitting on the ground? It's a cold day and the prince has caught a cold. You have ten heads that can't be chopped off. Why don't you help the prince into the house?"
"Here!"
Several eunuchs and maids immediately worked together to help Zhu Gaochi up, as if they had been granted amnesty.
Zhu Zhanji was not idle either. After yelling at several eunuchs and maids, he did not forget the real master. He carefully waited on the side and whispered:
"Dad, that's what grandpa said. You just listened to that and turned around. Grandpa is on the Northern Expedition. Let's just bring him out again. Don't cry. If word spreads, you will think something happened to the prince's mansion."
.”
Zhu Gaochi did not refuse even when being helped, and walked obediently while whimpering:
"Ugh... your grandpa just doesn't believe me. The treasury has finally become a little richer. He wants to fight again and again. If I don't let him fight, your grandpa will put me under house arrest and revoke my right to supervise the country.
Now, they have imprisoned an official of my prince's palace again. How many times has this happened in so many years? My son, I don't deserve to be the prince anymore. Let your second uncle come and go back to Shuntian with your father...
…”
Entering the inner room, the temperature of the fire rose. Zhu Gaochi blinked his little eyes, sobbed and quietly rubbed his chubby hands, leading several eunuchs and maids to the fire.
Then he continued to cry:
"Son, dad is feeling miserable..."
Zhu Zhanji: “…”
The baby feels miserable too!
He glanced helplessly at the cheap old man who was sitting by the stove, rubbing his chubby hands to keep them warm, and not forgetting to wipe away his tears.
Zhu Zhanji sighed, waved to the eunuchs and maids in the room and said:
"You all go down. Don't let any news about what happened today come out."
"Here!"
Several eunuchs and maids, as if they had been pardoned, immediately bowed and left.
As for whether this matter will spread, there is no need to guess, there are never any secrets in the palace.
Not to mention the Yongle Emperor who had a two-pronged approach with Jinyiwei on his left and Dongchang on his right.
But my father obviously cried to someone,
After all, only babies who can cry will get milk, right?
When several palace maids and eunuchs walked to the door, they bumped into a woman in her thirties who came in with several palace ladies. It was Crown Princess Zhang.
She is also Zhu Zhanji’s wife.
When Mrs. Zhang entered the door and saw Zhu Zhanji, a smile immediately appeared on her face:
"My son is back? Recently, my mother has found another baby girl to come to the palace. She comes from the same place as my mother. Let's see when you can ask your father to tell your grandpa, so that he can change the position of the grandson concubine.
It’s given.”
Zhu Zhanji was speechless when he heard this. Could it be that he could not escape the curse of urging marriage even after traveling through time?
He could only say helplessly: "Mom, this matter is not urgent. Grandpa Huang is about to go on an expedition soon. Take your time, take your time."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang's pretty face immediately became serious, and she put her hands on her hips and shouted: "Slowly, slowly, how many years has this matter been delayed? Besides, when has your grandpa not wanted to go out to fight, is it possible?
Your imperial grandfather has been fighting wars, but you have never chosen a concubine? Look how old you are now? If you don’t choose a concubine, your great-grandson will be a bachelor. In a few years, your uncle Wang’s children will
Children can even play in the mud..."
Seeing Mrs. Zhang talking more and more energetically, Zhu Zhanji's scalp felt numb. He pulled Zhu Gaochi, who was standing around the stove, and changed the subject:
"Mom, dad is crying like this, let's not talk about this today, right?"
"snort!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang snorted and said dissatisfied: "Your father wants me to say that he is too lenient. If your grandpa wants to fight, just let him fight. If you don't have the money, just go to your second uncle's house to get it."
Your second uncle's family has become prosperous in recent years, hasn't it? Cars and carts of things from Yunnan are brought to his home. Look at how generous your second uncle is. It is said that he carries a big bag of golden beans with him, and he grabs a handful and gives them to everyone he meets when he goes out.
Man, the female officials all said that he was very popular, and the little devils in the palace were very happy when they saw King Han smile. When I saw that scene, tsk tsk, I wanted to go up and ask for two golden beans."
"Ahem..."
Zhu Zhanji couldn't help coughing twice when he heard this. He felt that his mother seemed to be caring about him...
He had seen the stinginess of the Prince's Mansion since childhood.
He wanted to break a penny in half, and even his finances were being pinched by his wife.
As a result, after so many years, he has barely become financially independent.
Zhu Gaochi also looked embarrassed when he heard this. After all, compared to the generosity of the Han Palace, the stinginess of the Prince's Palace can only be counted.
The news spread almost everywhere inside and outside the palace.
"Okay, why are you talking nonsense in front of the children? I will make you sick."
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but complained in a low voice.
Mrs. Zhang curled her lips when she heard this, but did not refute, but said in a strange tone:
"Yes, yes, what you are saying is that I am a woman, I wear clothes with two strands and comb my hair with three strands. Don't be the same as me. Otherwise, I will give you a big gift. If you don't have money in the future, don't ask me for it."
