Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 15 Game

Zhu Gaoxu was not afraid of Zhu Di's inexplicable anger.

He roughly understood what Zhu Di's concerns were, so he explained what he just said.

"Dad, there is a foreshadowing of the future of the Ming Dynasty in the "Huang Ji Jing Shi Shu". In the future, the emperor made Yun Wen his grandson, but Yun Wen violated the ancestral system and brutally suppressed the border vassal kings, which triggered the Eight Kings of the Jin Dynasty. The chaos among the kings was even more terrible, which led to the disintegration of the Ming Dynasty, and the northern barbarians took the opportunity to invade the Central Plains, and the land of China fell into boundless darkness."

Zhu Gaoxu opened his eyes and told lies without feeling embarrassed at all.

"This is obviously because God wants the child to help his father become the prince and successfully inherit the throne, so as to prevent the Ming Dynasty from falling apart and save the Han family."

"Haier firmly believes that in today's world, only my father's succession can turn things around, restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and lead the Ming Dynasty to a prosperous age."

Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's low-pitched explanation, Zhu Di, who was full of anger just now, strangely calmed down. He even held Zhu Gaoxu's hands tightly and spoke his heart.

"Even if what you said is true, it's already too late. Your grandpa told me that Yun Wen is benevolent and filial, and that he is still young and strong, and his health has gradually recovered. From what I see, he may have made a decision."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he was stunned on the spot as if he had received an electric shock.

"This is unscientific! Just because Zhu Yunwen is Zhu Biao's son?"

He asked unwillingly in his heart, and then sat down on the ground like a puppet that had lost its strings.

Under the influence of his planning, Zhu Yunwen's temperament has changed drastically due to illness, but he never expected that it would end like this.

King Zhu Fang of Qin and Prince Zhu Biao both passed away. Why was Zhu Yuanzhang still so stubborn and insisting on appointing Zhu Yunwen?

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was in a low mood, like a defeated rooster, Zhu Di also sat on the ground, next to Zhu Gaoxu, and slowly told him what he had deliberately concealed just now.

Zhu Yuanzhang suspected that Zhu Gaoxu had a plan to promote Zhu Di to power with the help of prophecies, and even thought that the prophecies were probably arranged by Zhu Di behind the scenes.

In order to verify the authenticity of this question, Zhu Yuanzhang specially set up a bureau.

On the surface, he seemed to be asking about the reign of King Yan and looking for a satisfactory heir, but in fact he was using this to test whether Zhu Di and his son had collusion with others inside and outside.

The so-called "Jin Yiwei secret agent who is proficient in lip reading" was a lie made up by Zhu Yuanzhang in order to deceive Zhu Di. Jin Yiwei was indeed staring at Kang Ping, but Kang Ping only conveyed the news that Zhu Gaoxu was banned, and nothing else.

Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately said that Zhu Di was lying in order to see whether Zhu Di admitted to "colluding internally and externally" with Zhu Gaoxu.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also talked about the "miraculous prophecy" by the way - Zhu Di would become the Ming Emperor in the future and create a prosperous age of Yongle, but he did not mention the six great strategies and other prophecies.

Zhu Di, who was in his 30s, was naturally no match for Zhu Yuanzhang, who was scheming and full of lies. He quickly admitted that Kang Ping told him about Zhu Gaoxu's suspension, but emphasized that he did not instruct Zhu Gaoxu to fabricate the prophecy.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, scolded Zhu Di for his wolfish ambitions, and scolded Zhu Di for being a real man, so he had to act boldly and play tricks and calculations. What kind of hero is he?
Zhu Di, who had been afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang since he was a child, could not bear such an insulting scolding, but he still suppressed his inner resentment.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned that if Zhu Yunwen was appointed as his grandson, it would be conducive to the stability of the Ming Dynasty. He hoped that Zhu Di would put the overall situation first and be able to assist Zhu Yunwen in the future, and asked Zhu Di to swear an oath never to rebel.Zhu Di, who had never dared to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang, was extremely aggrieved when he was wrongly accused of being a careerist.

Making him swear a poisonous oath is tolerable, but which one is intolerable?
The young and vigorous Zhu Di could no longer suppress the humiliation and resentment in his heart. He mustered up the courage to issue his first positive rebuttal to Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time in his life.

"Is it because I have been on the battlefield for more than ten years, with outstanding military achievements and excessive military power, that I have become a threat to the court? Should I swear a poisonous oath? Should I be jealous?"

At that time, Zhu Di was so angry that he broke up with Zhu Yuanzhang unhappily and went straight back to the King of Yan's residence.

After listening to Zhu Di's additional secrets about the year name, Zhu Gaoxu immediately understood.

No wonder Zhu Di had a hint of anger in his voice when he told about Zhu Yuanzhang's question about the reign name.

It turns out that not only was he wronged by Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was also regarded as a careerist who threatened Zhu Yunwen's future status.

When he asked Kang Ping to send a message to Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu guessed that the news might leak out.

Now, as he expected, since Zhu Yuanzhang had learned about the internal and external exchanges between him and Zhu Di a few days ago, why had he not dealt with him and his son for so long?
If Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu were not princes and grandsons, "exchanging news inside and outside the palace" would be a capital crime and Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely execute them.

On the contrary, it is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to be indifferent to this kind of thing, but now he doesn't even have any warning or reprimand, which is very strange.

Zhu Di saw that Zhu Gaoxu was silent after learning the cause and effect, but there was a look of perseverance in his eyes, so he asked: "Gaoxu, are you going to find your grandpa Huang?"

Zhu Gaoxu did not answer directly, but instead lost his dejection, stood up hastily, and said decisively: "Dad, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I decided to go and see Grandpa Huang!"

In Zhu Di's view, Zhu Gaoxu lived in the palace for several years and experienced more things than ordinary people, making him appear precocious.

Although it was unexpected, it was within reason. What was strange was that Zhu Gaoxu's performance one after another was really shocking.

At this time, Zhu Di finally realized that compared with the past, Zhu Gaoxu had a bit more indescribable special temperament.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di stood up quickly, held Zhu Gaoxu's hands tightly again, and said with true feelings: "Gaoxu, if you succeed in this trip, I will definitely ask you to be the crown prince."

There is nothing wrong with this promise, but there is a loophole. Even if Zhu Di asks Zhu Yuanzhang to canonize Zhu Gaoxu as the crown prince in the future, if Zhu Yuanzhang does not agree, Zhu Gaoxu will still not be able to become the crown prince of Prince Yan.

Zhu Di's move was tantamount to encouraging Zhu Gaoxu to go to Zhu Yuanzhang to make trouble, so as to disturb Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. After all, Zhu Gaoxu was much better than Zhu Yunwen, and he also won the Holy Heart more.

In essence, Zhu Di is using Zhu Gaoxu, and the latter is also aware of this, but currently the goals of father and son are the same.

At that moment, Zhu Gaoxu took out a hand, pressed it on the back of Zhu Di's hand, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, dad, the child will not talk nonsense, let alone disobey the emperor and implicate the father. If what I said is wrong, with the emperor If you have a bad temper, you can at most scold me a few times. The worst case scenario is that you will be grounded for a while."

Zhu Di looked solemn, nodded heavily and said, "I'm waiting for you to come back!"
