Chapter 632: Training Xu Qin! Create a Duo of Scourges!

The arrangements for the south are complete.
Zhu Di officially ordered the capital to be moved.
Moving the capital was a troublesome matter, but fortunately there were temple supervisors and officials to complete their respective errands.
As Emperor Yongle and the Son of Heaven, Zhu Di only needed to issue orders.
Carriage after carriage drove away from Nanjing. They were the dignitaries and relatives of the emperor who were traveling with the imperial court to the new capital of Peking. They were all bringing their families with them, making the queue extremely long for a while.
Zhu Gaoxu sat in the carriage, opened the door curtain and looked at the speed, and couldn't help but feel helpless.
He really didn't want to go to Beijing right now, but the old man gave him a death order and he had to go with him this time.
There is nothing that can be done about this. After all, Zhu Gaoxu is not the King of Han now, but the current prince and the crown prince of the country!
Moving the capital was such a major event that the court naturally had to deal with many complicated rituals, such as offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, which required the participation of the prince.
But what Zhu Gaoxu hates the most is these red tapes. Instead of spending time and energy on these useless face-saving efforts, which also wastes money and people, it is better to spend more time thinking about how to build coastal customs.
Just as he was complaining helplessly, a voice suddenly came from outside the carriage.
"Prince?"
"Brothers are here to drink with you!"
As soon as he heard this voice, Zhu Gaoxu immediately laughed.
These are the two little boys Zhu Yong, Duke of Cheng, and Xu Qin, Duke of Wei.
Because the team to move the capital was long, and Zhu Di stopped from time to time to inspect local state capitals, it would take at least several months to reach the new capital of Peking.
Zhu Gaoxu felt very bored, so he called the military attache Xunchen in the team to chat and drink to pass the time.
Zhu Yong and Xu Qin, these two brats, are really the epitome of playboys. They spend all their time idle and ignorant.
Even if he was thrown into the Xishan military camp by Zhu Gaoxu and practiced for a while, the effect was not great, so he simply let it go.
After all, it is the carriage that His Royal Highness is riding in. It is not only extremely luxurious, but also has a huge interior space.
After Zhu Yong and Xu Qin got on the carriage, they sat down carelessly, and it didn't seem crowded at all.
"Xiao Qinzi, do you, Duke of Wei, really decide to stay in Nanjing?"
Hearing this, a bright light flashed in Xu Qin's eyes, but it passed away briefly and returned to his usual lazy look.
"Prince, you also know the past of my lineage. Ding Guogong's lineage went to the new capital of Beijing. It would be better for my Wei Guogong lineage to stay in Nanjing, so as not to dirty the emperor's eyes."
Xu Qin chuckled, but his tone was a little sad.
Zhu Gaoxu was startled when he heard this, and then silently patted his shoulder.
How can this kid be a fool? He is clearly hiding his clumsiness!
Xu Qin was the first Duke of Wei, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, and the grandson of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan.
There is no need to say much about Xu Da's achievements. His single achievement of recovering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun is enough to be remembered in history!
Just a few of Xu Da's sons are very interesting.
During the Battle of Jingnan, the eldest son Xu Huizu was a pure minister of Jianwen. He once led the southern army to force Zhu Di into a desperate situation, which made the petty Zhu Laosi hate him extremely.
Zhu Di broke through Yingtian and entered Jinling. He once wanted to kill Xu Huizu to vent his anger, but he gave up after considering that he was the empress of the founding emperor and the eldest brother of Empress Xu, but the uncle of the dynasty.
However, Zhu Di still ordered Xu Huizu to return to his private home, stripped him of his salary and title, and died in depression at home.
Xu Da's third son, Xu Zengshou, is even more interesting. Not only did he say good things to Zhu Di in front of Zhu Yunwen many times, but he also secretly conveyed news to Zhu Di during the Jingnan Campaign. In the end, Emperor Jianwen found out and chopped him with a sword.
Zhu Di mourned the death of Xu Zengshou very much, and he named him Duke of Dingguo, and his descendants inherited it hereditary.
As a result, Xu Da's descendants have two dukedoms, one is Dingguo Gong who follows Yan King Zhu Di, and the other is Wei Guo Gong who is a pure minister of Jianwen.
It is conceivable that the Duke of Wei was extremely unpopular in the Yongle Dynasty, and even went to court only a handful of times.
The contemporary Duke of Wei, Xu Qin, looked like a playboy since he was a child, causing trouble and doing nothing, and he took the playboy style to the extreme.
Zhu Gaoxu can actually understand that if he were Xu Qin, he would definitely find a way to taint himself.
If this Xu Qin is not a playboy, but a monster genius, I'm afraid Zhu Di won't be able to sleep well at night.
But this is just Xu Qin's personal speculation. After all, Zhu Di is the Yongle Emperor. Although he is a little petty, he still has the bearing of a king.
Xu Huizu has died of illness for so many years, and the grievances have long since disappeared.
"Xiao Qinzi, are you tired from acting these years?"
Xu Qin's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He looked at Zhu Gaoxu with fear on his face, and his body started to tremble uncontrollably.
"Prince...Your Highness, I don't know what you mean..."
"You boy, you are obviously a smart man, but you still pretend to be a playboy."
Zhu Gaoxu slapped him on the back of the head angrily, "You really underestimate our Emperor."
"Don't say that you are Xu Huizu's son. Even if my father really wanted to kill your father, he would have killed him back then. How could he wait until now?"
"It's been so many years. The grudges of the previous generation have long since dissipated. Why do you have to live so tiredly?"
When Xu Qin heard this, he immediately fell silent.
He doesn't want to live like a playboy. After all, he is the grandson of Zhongshan King Xu Da!
Why doesn't he want to be a general, expand territory for the Ming Dynasty, and restore the glory of his ancestors?
But he can't!
Because he is from the lineage of Wei Guogong, he is the son of Xu Huizu!
Therefore, since he was a child, everyone in the government has taught him that he must be a good-for-nothing and a waste waiting to die, in order to preserve the glory and wealth of Wei Guogong's lineage!
Xu Qin obviously had his own great ambitions, but he was helplessly limited by his status as the eldest son of the Duke of Wei. He could only follow the training of the Duke and gradually became a notorious dandy.
Since then, two extremes have emerged in the imperial capital of Jinling. One is the dandy prince Xu Qin, and the other is the gentle and elegant prince Xu Huizu of Dingguo Gong.
They are both descendants of Zhongshan King Xu Da, but their performances are completely opposite. Naturally, the world is willing to put them together to compare and discuss.
The final result was that the Duke of Wei endured too much ridicule and criticism, and life became increasingly difficult!
But Xu Qin still pretends to be indifferent, continues to be uneducated, continues to be idle, and continues to be his dandy prince!
This is simply worse than killing him!
However, Xu Qin had no other choice, he could only act like this!
If possible, Xu Qin really hoped that he was not born in the Duke of Wei's mansion, but in Dingguo's mansion. How great would that be?
"His Royal Highness, you are joking. I have always been a playboy with no ambitions, and I will also be an idle playboy in the future!"
"Oh? Then I really made a mistake." Zhu Gaoxu picked up the wine bottle and drank it in one gulp.
"I also plan to arrange a good errand for you. Since you don't want to, then forget it!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Qin was shaken all over.
The prince arranged errands for himself?
He knows very well what this means!
If he can be reused by the prince, Xu Qin no longer has to pretend to act!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I..."
"There is only one North Korea left around the Ming Dynasty. This country borders Liaodong and is adjacent to Ning State. It is uneasy to leave it there like this."
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Xu Qin and showed a warm smile.
"I can give you a chance to prove yourself and wash away your shame!"
"It depends on whether you want it or not!"
