My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Forbidden entry and exit

Seeing his father smiling at him again, Zhu Gaoxu looked very appreciative, and immediately said happily: "This is a great joy, and this is why my son is so unscrupulous. My father, my son has another proposal. I don't know if my father will approve it or not." Grace."

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Speak."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "In the past, when the mother was sick, the palace was very cold. Isn't this... the Longevity Festival will soon be here, how about this, on the day of the Longevity Festival, simply set up a family banquet, so that the children and ministers can still have a good time. How about summoning the relatives and relatives of the emperor to celebrate the birthday of the emperor together?"

The so-called Wanshou Festival is actually the emperor's birthday. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's birthday could also be called a festival. For example, the emperor's birthday was called Wanshou Festival, the queen mother's birthday was called Christmas, the queen's birthday was called Qianqiu Festival, and the prince's birthday was called Qianqiu Festival.

Zhu Di actually doesn't like these red tapes. When he was the King of Yan, he celebrated his birthday and even spent a lot of time in the army. Now that he is the emperor, he also dislikes it.

But now Zhu Gaoxu suggested that Zhu Di was in high spirits, so he took a look at Empress Xu first, and said, "That's a good idea. When you come, your mother will raise your body, and you will feel better after seeing many royal relatives again. Second, is it When it's time to be lively, let's set up a family banquet and call the royal family over."

Zhu Gaoxu said happily: "The brother-in-law of the emperor, the man named Zhang Anshi will also be called. The emperor has always said that Zhang Anshi is honest and responsible, and the godfather just happened to meet him."

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he immediately became confused.

Although it is good for him to always say Zhang Anshi, but who is his brother-in-law, doesn't he know?

He is neither deaf nor blind.

The King of Han's proposal was obviously an excuse to embarrass him. When Anshi saw his father, he would not respond appropriately. With his father's fiery temper, he didn't know what would happen.

Zhu Di said at this time: "Alright, I just happened to take a look at this bastard."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi sat there blankly, worried for a while.

But after all, the queen mother recovered from her illness today, and the joy in the bedroom is still there, and there are laughter and laughter from time to time.

Zhang Anshi was urgently called into the East Palace in the evening.

At this time, the prince Zhu Gaochi had returned from the palace.

Zhang Anshi said obediently: "Brother-in-law..."

Zhu Gaochi asked Zhang Anshi to sit down: "Have you eaten yet?"

Zhang Anshi said: "I just used it, and you urged me to come."

Zhu Gaochi said: "Okay, it's my fault. I'm really in a hurry this time. To tell you the truth, next month is the Longevity Day."

Of course Zhang Anshi knew what Longevity Day was, so he nodded without thinking too much: "This is a happy event."

"Father held a family banquet and planned to let the royal relatives enter the palace."

Zhang Anshi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what his brother-in-law's words meant, and said, "I'm going too?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "This is what I am worried about. Hey... This is what the King of Han proposed. Brother Bengong... everything else is fine..."

Zhang Anshi interrupted: "I think he is very bad."

"Ahem..." Zhu Gaochi said seriously: "He is my close brother, so don't talk about him behind his back."

"I'm telling the truth."

Zhang Anshi may not have a deep understanding of other things in the Yongle Dynasty, but what kind of virtue is this King of Han, would he not know?

This man wants to be Li Shimin, and he regards his brother as Li Jiancheng.

Zhu Gaochi had nothing to do with Zhang Anshi, so he continued: "It was suggested by him. I think he may have other intentions."

"What's your intention?"

"Think about it, you enter the palace...the emperor must not like you when he sees you."

Zhang Anshi was in a hurry: "Why doesn't your Majesty like me when he sees me? I look in the mirror every day, and the more I look at myself in the mirror, the more I like it."

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "I'm not talking about your appearance, but... your character."

Zhang Anshi felt that he was being discriminated against, and immediately said: "My character is also very good. Everyone says I have a good character. If you don't believe me, ask Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu."

Zhu Gaochi's face darkened: "..."

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to comfort his brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't embarrass you."

Zhu Gaochi's face softened a little, he thought for a while and said: "Brother-in-law is not thinking about whether you will be ashamed, but you also know that the father has a hot temper and is upright, and he will not save any face for things he doesn't like." , I'm afraid that when the time comes... hey..."

Zhu Gaochi finally told the truth, and took a deep look at Zhang Anshi: "Father has a deep prejudice against you."

Fiery temper...frank...prejudiced...

Zhang Anshi has understood the meaning of his brother-in-law. Doesn't this mean... this trip may be a Hongmen banquet?

If there is another King of Han on the side to add fuel to the fire...it seems that the brother-in-law is right.

"Or, I'm not going." Zhang Anshi said: "I can pretend to be sick, and I can do anything. If I can't, I'll say I'm crazy. Of course, it's the kind that doesn't have to run naked on the street and eat shit. That kind of madness."

"What are you talking about." Zhu Gaochi said: "A gentleman must be honest, let alone cheating."

Zhang Anshi drooped his head and said, "It's all my fault anyway."

Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to comfort Zhang Anshi and said, "My meaning is that you are very lively these days. I have ordered Deng Jian to teach you some palace etiquette. Also, you need to read more books... It would be nice if you see your father at that time. Zuo is right, if not... I am afraid that you will suffer a big loss."

Zhang Anshi said: "This..."

Before Zhang Anshi could refute, Zhu Gaochi put on a straight face: "This is a big matter, it is about your life and death, honor and disgrace, how can you not take it to heart?"

"Other matters, I will follow you, but this matter cannot be discussed. If you refuse to study hard, I will definitely not forgive you lightly."

Zhang Anshi thought about it, and it seemed that this was the only way to go, so he said: "Yes."

Actually, Zhang Anshi was still a little worried about entering the palace to celebrate his birthday.

The main reason is that he knows that Hanwang and Hanwang's people must have said bad things about him.

The king of Han dared to call himself Li Shimin, but he still had two talents. For example, there were many eunuchs in the court who were inseparable with him, not to mention in the army, he was also popular.

And Zhu Di is the emperor who will win the world immediately, and he still takes good care of those generals who follow him to fight the world.

The so-called three people become a tiger.

Feeling his conscience, he said that Zhang Anshi is really not very good, and he has been smeared in various ways, so Emperor Yongle will definitely not have a good impression of him.

So... Zhang Anshi began to suffer.

Deng Jian rushed to Zhang's house from the East Palace almost every morning, and then with a straight face, he began to teach Zhang Anshi the etiquette in the palace.

"Salute like this..." Deng Jian demonstrated to Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi watched him salute, and couldn't help widening his eyes: "Do you still want to raise your orchid fingers?"

Deng Jian was in a hurry: "Oh, how did you humiliate your servants?"

Zhang Anshi said: "But you clearly raised your orchid finger."

Deng Jian dared to be angry and dare not speak out, and breathed desperately, before he said with a pleasant face: "Master, this is our habit. This is what people who have no roots are like. You just need to learn my etiquette."

"Oh."

"Also, when entering and leaving the palace, speak as little as possible and be taciturn."

"I understand this."

"and also…"

The day and night study made Zhang Anshi extremely irritable.

Deng Jian used to be regarded as his leader, but now the matter is of great importance, but he has a straight face.

As for the sent Four Books and Five Classics, they were placed on Zhang Anshi's desk, and Zhang Anshi was also forced to read them.

The prince even planned to invite Yang Shiqi, the lecturer of the Imperial Academy, to give him a good supplementary lesson.

What's worse is that Zhang Anshi's study collected several commercial novels, such as "A Beautiful Wife Like a Cloud" and "The Merry Son of a Bastard", all of which were taken away.

So Zhang Anshi was exhausted physically and mentally, and decided to skip class.

Taking advantage of Deng Jian's inattention, he jumped over the wall and quickly appeared in Zhang Fu's mansion.

The reason why he didn't go to Zhu Yong was not because he had weak feelings for the second brother, but because he was frightened by his way of hammering his son. Zhang Fu's elder brother, Zhang Fu, would not give him a hand if he bumped into him. Good face, but I don't think I will be hammered.

only…

Just arrived not far from Zhang's mansion, suddenly... Zhang Anshi felt a chill on the back of his neck, and he felt a familiar feeling.

And then...in broad daylight, a sack jumper.

Zhang Anshi couldn't help cursing: "Fuck, are you here again?"

For the new book issue, there are only two updates. Please bear with me and understand.
