Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 456 The King's Comfort
In the tenth year of Hongwu, on the ninth day of November, Deng Yu died of illness in Shouchun County, less than [-] miles away from Nanjing, on the way to the west expedition army.

When the bad news spread to the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears when he heard the news, and ordered to stop the court for three days and wear mourning throughout the city.He also went to the Yangtze River to personally meet Deng Yu's coffin and pay homage, and announced that Deng Yu would be posthumously named King of Ninghe, posthumously named Wushun, and his portrait was hung in the Taimiao to enjoy the sacrifice.

Zhu Yuanzhang also personally chose the cemetery and buried Deng Yu in Yuhuatai, Nanjing. There are six pairs of stone Weng Zhongshi horses in front of the tomb, so that the mountain is full of pines and cypresses, and hunting firewood is prohibited.And ordered people to write Deng Yu's achievements into the "Records of Hongwu Heroes", which can be described as extremely honorable.

A few days later, in Ninghe Palace, filial sons and virtuous grandchildren kept their filial piety in the mourning hall.

"The King of Chu and His Royal Highness the King of Hai, come to offer sacrifices." In the announcement, Zhu Zhen came in with a serious face in plain clothes, offering incense and kowtow to King Ninghe.

After the dutiful son and virtuous grandson returned the gift, Deng Zhen got up to see him off, but Zhu Zhen waved his hand, pointed to Deng Duo and said, "Just send me the king."

Deng Duo got up and sent His Highness out of the mourning hall. Seeing that he had only been gone for a few days, Zhu Zhen became thin and out of shape.It seems that the ancients said, "Mourning destroys the bones and establishes them", which is not false at all.

Zhu Zhen didn't say any words of comfort, but he didn't leave either. Instead, he took Deng Duo to the backyard.

Deng Duo saw that his giant panda was lazily eating bamboo in the old nest.

"This is?" Deng Duo looked puzzled, did he know that His Highness has true love for pandas, and there is no such thing as liking the new and loathing the old.

"This king is not good at comforting others, let him accompany you for a few days." Zhu Zhen reluctantly glanced at his heart.After speaking, he turned and walked away.I was afraid that if I stayed for a while, I would change my mind again.

Deng Duo suddenly thought of his father's evaluation of His Highness, and tears poured down again uncontrollably.He hugged the giant panda and wept silently.

It's really hard for a child born out of a concubine to lose his father...

~~
After leaving Deng Duo's house, Zhu Zhen rode a bull to Qin Wangfu again.

After the second brother came back these days, he has been so busy that he couldn't get away, and the two brothers haven't had a good time seeing each other yet.

Seeing His Highness arriving, the guards of the palace welcomed him inside without notification.

The palace was also solemn and solemn, all the festive colors were temporarily put away or covered up, and the King Qin and his wife even set up an altar in the side hall to pay homage to King Ninghe in person.

Princess Qin, the righteous daughter of Deng Yu, even served him with filial piety... In fact, this is not in accordance with etiquette, but it is in line with human feelings.Although the father and father didn't have much contact, King Ninghe gave great support to the lonely and helpless Deng Min, so that she finally had roots in Daming, and she was no longer a captive foreign woman.

Therefore, Deng Min respected this adoptive father very much in his heart, and was deeply saddened by his death.

The second child was also dressed in plain clothes, silently burning paper there.After Zhu Zhen came in, the couple stopped their grief and got up to talk to him.

"Second sister-in-law, my condolences." The sixth son was quite helpless, he didn't expect to come to the second brother's house to comfort him.After thinking for a long time, he finally said: "We are all your relatives."

"Yes, the second sister-in-law also regards the sixth uncle as her own brother." Deng Min forced a smile.

"I went to Xi'an in the next year, but I'm not allowed to bully my second sister-in-law." Zhu Zhen said to his second brother again.

"No, it won't happen." The second child waved his hand and said, "I, it's too late for me to hurt her."

Deng Min lowered his head in shame, a touch of blood appeared on his pale face.

Seeing the state of the second sister-in-law, the sixth child was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he sat down for a while and then left.

When the second brother sent him to the door, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "Look, look at my memory, return, return, bring back a gift for you."

After speaking, he asked the eunuch to bring the gift, but it turned out to be two chubby little foxes with big faces, short legs, very fluffy fur.

Ordinarily, foxes are known for their charm and agility, but these two guys are dumbfounded, and they also have a paralyzed face full of mocking effects, they are simply different types of foxes.On the contrary, he looks exactly like the second brother.

"Director Fox?" Zhu Zhen couldn't help cheering, and asked his second brother happily: "Isn't this a Tibetan fox? Where did you get it?"

"Dang, of course it was the second brother who caught the fox from Kunlun Mountain with his own hands." The second brother said stinkingly: "Dang, at that time others were out of breath, but the second brother I was running all over the mountain to catch foxes, wow, it's amazing! ?”

"Amazing!" Lao Liu nodded like a pounding garlic. He heard that the bigger the body, the higher the oxygen consumption, the greater the reaction on the plateau.It's amazing how a super big guy like the second brother can achieve low oxygen consumption?Could it be that the structure of organs is different from that of ordinary people? "Why did the second brother think of grabbing this thing?"

"I know, I know you like to keep pets." The second elder brother said dotingly: "Now, in Kunlun Mountains, I saw this kind of fox, fox, I thought you would like it."

"I like it, I like it, of course I like it." The sixth brother hugged the second brother emotionally and said, "The second brother is really too careful, and even caught a pair so that they can have cubs."

"Down, I can't give birth to cubs." The second brother said coyly after hearing the words: "One, it was planned like this at the beginning, back, after returning to Hezhou, the veterinarian checked and said that both of them are male. Catch, catch wrong."

"Then it's good to be a companion." Lao Liu said with a smile: "My pets are the same as my king, they all focus on a single."

"Wait, I'll catch you again later, catch a few bitches." The second brother promised.

"Yeah." Lao Liu nodded happily, and asked again: "Does this Tibetan fox recognize his life? Should I take it back directly or get familiar with it for a while?"

"No, I don't recognize life. Here, give me a piece of meat and follow. It's very stupid." The second brother said quickly.

"Okay..." Zhu Zhen looked at the wise eyes of the two Tibetan foxes with sympathy. How stupid can the second brother evaluate the stupid animals?
~~
Sure enough, as the second brother said, with a piece of meat in his hand, His Royal Highness the King of Chu attracted two Tibetan foxes to follow behind with no expression on their faces, and they didn't even need to be tied with a rope.

The common people in Nanjing stopped to watch one after another, talking about His Highness King Chu's new pet.

"Yo, it's not big enough to ride."

"Looking so stupid, is this a dirt dog?"

"Don't tell me, this big cheek has a generous face and a pair of squinted eyes. It's really funny to look at."

The sixth child laughed it off, everything about the king was inevitably judged.

When entering the palace, the defenders of Donghua Gate were also relieved to see His Highness's new pet, at least he would not ride this thing in and out of the palace gate.

~~
Back at No. [-] East Institute, Zhu Zhen asked people to clean up the next door to Pingtian Dasheng and let two Tibetan foxes live there.Then, according to the usual practice, name them both...

"You are called Director Fox." He pointed to the one on the left.

"You can call it Brother Xiaoliang." He pointed to the one on the right.

"Hurry up and mark Director Fox and Brother Xiaoliang." Mama Wang hurriedly ordered Xiaohuo Zhe, "These two look so alike, otherwise they will be confused later."

"No need." His Highness waved his hands, and said with a wise face: "Brother Xiao Liang is Director Fox, and Director Fox is Brother Xiao Liang. There is no need to make such a clear distinction."

"Understood." Wang Ma responded and looked at His Highness with some worry, feeling that the contagious power of these two Tibetan foxes was too strong, just a while later, His Highness's expression showed signs of being assimilated by them...
