If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 77 The King of Han and the King of Zhao

At this time, outside Nanjing, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui had arrived at Tangshan Military Camp.

The garrison here was Zhu Gaoxu's old department, and the generals who commanded the troops were also single-handedly promoted by him. After Zhu Gaoxu showed him the official troop deployment document from the Ministry of War, the generals who commanded the troops happily handed over the military power to Zhu Gaoxu and immediately began to reorganize the troops. Soldiers.

The commander-in-chief was even a little excited in his heart. His Highness the King of Han was finally going to raise troops to appease Jingnan like the emperor!

He can also win over a Conglong hero and make his wife Yinzi!
The mood and thoughts of the commander-in-chief are actually easy to understand. During the initial crisis, Zhu Di said, "The prince is often ill, so you should encourage him."

Moreover, Zhu Di's love for Zhu Gaoxu and his dislike for Zhu Gaochi were well known to the entire Yan army at that time.

After entering the city of Nanjing, Qi Duke Qiu Fu and others were actively preparing to support Zhu Gaoxu in becoming the crown prince. They could also add a layer of Conglong merit to their descendants in addition to the merit of Jing Nan. Fight for eternal wealth.

However, under the persuasion of Empress Xu and civil servants, Zhu Di still made Zhu Gaochi the prince, and for the next eight years, he allowed Zhu Gaochi to do all kinds of things. He even did not forget to slander when he followed Zhu Di in the Northern Expedition, but he was not able to shake Zhu Gaochi. The position of prince.

This undoubtedly made the King of Han party very depressed, and also made the struggle between the King of Han party and the princelings more intense.

Although Xie Jin was brought into Beizhen Fusi by slandering the Han Dynasty Party, the death of Qi Guogong Qiu Fu in battle last year led to the demotion of Qi Guogong's line and also caused heavy losses to the Han Dynasty Party.

Now Zhu Gaoxu does not intend to continue playing the game of being a loving father and a filial son, but is planning to imitate the old story of Tang Taizong's Xuanwu Gate and send troops into the city to force the palace. How can this not make the commander-in-chief who is a die-hard loyal to the King of Han not excited and feel that an opportunity has come? What's up?
In fact, not only the commander-in-chief thought so, but also the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu himself thought so.

"Third brother, you go back to the capital immediately and take people to blow up the gunpowder magazine of the Ministry of War. Then the city will be in chaos. I will take the opportunity to lead troops into the city. You also take your people. As long as the army enters the city, this matter will be forgotten. It’s done.” Zhu Gaoxu put his arms around his younger brother’s shoulders and made a wish to him: “When it comes to pass, I will ascend the throne and become emperor, and I will share half of this country!”

Zhu Gaojiu listened to Zhu Gaojiu's words, and various thoughts kept churning in his heart, but in the end he still didn't say anything. He just nodded to Zhu Gaojiu and said: "Second brother, leave it to me! But afterwards, the boss and his family...what are your plans?" How to deal with it?"

Zhu Gaojiu knows his eldest brother and second brother well. Although his eldest brother Zhu Gaochi always seems kind and a kind person, Zhu Gaojiu knows that he is also a person who will not lose to Zhu Di regardless of means or scheming.

On the contrary, it is his second brother Zhu Gaoxu. Although he looks very similar to Zhu Di, equally brave and bold, and even his personality seems to be printed from the same mold, there is no Yao Guangxiao who comes to present his white hat next to Zhu Gaoxu.

This made Zhu Gaojiu look like a reckless man, and also made Zhu Gaojiu not very optimistic about his actions this time.

The reason why he asked him how to deal with the boss's family was because Zhu Gaojiu wanted to see if Zhu Gaoxu was cruel enough and tolerant of others.

Choosing to kill showed that Zhu Gaoxu was ruthless enough to completely eliminate future troubles, but he also had no tolerance for others.Once Zhu Gaoxu takes that position, Zhu Gaosui himself is likely to follow in Zhu Gaochi's footsteps.

Choosing not to kill shows that Zhu Gaojiu is tolerant. Although there will be some hidden dangers, at least Zhu Gaoxu can tolerate his brothers, and Zhu Gaosui can also trust his promise more.

However, Zhu Gaojiu's answer made Zhu Gaojiu feel cold, and made Zhu Gaojiu hesitate whether he really wanted to help his second brother in this rebellion.

"If you don't tell me, I almost forgot. When the time comes, you will take people to arrest the boss and his family, kill them all and then set fire to them. Let's just say that they set fire to themselves among the rebels." Zhu Gaoxu looked at the Nanjing city defense map in front of him. , thinking about how prosperous he would be after he ascended the throne, he noticed that Zhu Gaosui's expression had changed, and still asked without raising his head: "By the way, what is that boy Zhu Zhanji doing? And the old man? The second child who has been sleeping with us for eight years, isn’t he training troops? We must also pay attention to him and don’t let him lead troops into the city when the time comes, otherwise things will be turned upside down.”

If it were just now, Zhu Gaosui would have told his second brother that Zhu Zhanji went to Zhu Gaosui and was preparing to borrow troops from him.

But now, Zhu Gaosui hesitated for a moment before saying to Zhu Gaoxu: "I sent people to keep an eye on that boy Zhanji! He went to the Qinhuai River and was having fun and got drunk!"

This is not a lie, because after Zhu Zhanji failed to borrow troops from Zhu Gaosui, he went to the Qinhuai River and was indeed drunk.

But whether he borrowed troops from Zhu Zhanjuan, or whether Zhu Zhanjuan already knew that Zhu Gaoxu wanted to raise troops, was not something Zhu Gaosui knew or was willing to tell Zhu Gaoxu.

Although as the third eldest among the three brothers, Zhu Gaosui is also the legitimate son of Zhu Di and Empress Xu, but the eldest son was personally canonized as the crown prince by Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang, and there was also a person with a similar personality to Zhu Di who was personally said by Zhu Di, "The crown prince is so sick, you should be..." "Encourage him", the second child, the third child can almost be said to be a foil. Unless the boss and the second child are dead, he can ascend to the throne.

In addition, he was the most thoughtful among the three brothers. At this time, Zhu Gaojiu no longer wanted to help Zhu Gaojiu as much as he did at the beginning.

He was currently thinking about whether this incident could lead to the death of the eldest and second eldest brother.

As long as the boss and second child are gone, he, the third child, will have a chance to take that position.

Driven by such thoughts, Zhu Gaosui concealed some important information and said to Zhu Gaoxu: "As for the second son of the boss you mentioned, I heard that although he was indeed training troops, he left everything to the deputy general. , he himself is just like that brat Zhu Zhanji, he hangs around the Qinhuai River all day long and is too happy to miss Shu."

"I knew that there wouldn't be any good ideas coming out of my family. Look at these two brothers, hanging around the Qinhuai River all day long. How can they be good emperors in the future? If the Ming Dynasty is handed over to such a person, it is simply endangering the Ming Dynasty and the country! Fortunately, those civil servants still had the nerve to say, 'A good saintly grandson can prosper for three generations'!" Zhu Gaoxu loudly belittled the two brothers Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhancheng, but did not notice that Zhu Gaosui's eyes had changed when he looked at him.

Zhu Gaosui, who had changed his mind, turned around and left Tangshan Military Camp without saying anything more to Zhu Gaoxu.
