King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 104 The impatient Zhu Zhanji, the prince’s godson
  After Zhu Gaoxu left, Zhu Di's restless heart could not calm down.

In both ears, the previous words lingered for a long time and could not be dissipated.

From time to time, all the things we have gone through together over the years and what happened come to mind.

He couldn't help but frown, and the expression on his face kept changing.

There is anger, confusion, and contemplation.

I have to admit that what Zhu Gaoxu said just now really touched him a lot.

In fact, those questions have always been there, and they have always been things that he ignored and was unwilling to ask or think too much about.

There was silence in the main hall.

call.
  I don’t know how long it took, but Zhu Di came back to his senses, exhaled a long breath, and shouted at the closed door:

"Someone is coming."

"If that's the case."

"Hehehe"

"Isn't this nice?"

"Are you still in the mood to laugh here?"

"No!" After hearing this, the servant hurriedly responded without any hesitation.

What the hell?
  Should I still say thank you and thank him?

"Why are you talking like your second uncle did something heinous?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi half-closed his eyes and asked with a faint smile on his face:
  "Why fight back?"

The tightly closed door was pushed open, and the servant hurriedly ran in from the door. Feeling the coldness in the palace, his mind couldn't help but think of what happened today and his body trembled. A hint of fear flashed subconsciously in his eyes, and he hurriedly showed respect. Kneel down and salute:
  "My servant pays homage to Your Majesty."

Don't even think about it...
  I really thought he didn't know what kind of character his second uncle was.

"Boss! Boss!"

"If you suddenly become enlightened, it's still a little late."

"Yang Shiqi and the others are all gone?"

"How do you plan to fight back against what happened today and what my second uncle did?"

"I hope you won't disappoint me, and won't be worse than the second stinky Qiu Ba."

Da da da.
  Hearing the dull footsteps, Zhu Zhanji, who was glaring angrily, came back to his senses in an instant. Seeing his father's figure, the anger on his face subsided and he waved at the slaves who had their heads lowered. Send it away.

"Your second uncle cleaned up the moths in the court and curbed corruption, which was beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and the whole country."

"Why haven't I noticed that you bastard is so far-sighted and foresighted before?"

After that, he took small steps, bowed his body, turned around and quickly retreated, and closed the door again wisely.

"If you have been hiding your clumsiness, why are you showing it now?"

"Is there any result?"

After that, he quickly came to Zhu Di, helped Zhu Gaochi to sit down in the courtyard, and asked eagerly:

In an instant, the palace became quiet again. Zhu Di leaned on the soft couch, holding the tea cup in his hand from time to time. He frowned from time to time and murmured to himself in a low voice:

"It's not that easy now."

"We would like to see what you think of the affairs of civil servants today."

"With regard to Second Uncle's virtue, he also cleans out moths in the court and does good things for the court?"

Having said this, he paused, as if he thought of something, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his face full of sadness:
  "Second dick!"

Zhu Di waved his hand at him with half-closed eyes and ordered:

Is it better for the Ming Dynasty?
  I believed his evil deeds!

The residence of the Prince in the East Palace.

"When did this happen?"

"Go to the East Palace quickly and summon the prince to come see me."

"father"

Zhu Zhanji: "????"

"Hey if only you could do it earlier."

Zhu Gaochi dismissed Yang Shiqi and other civil servants, and when he came to the backyard, he saw Zhu Zhanji with a gloomy face and harsh words angrily scolding the slaves in the mansion.

"Dad! Dad!"

"Did you suddenly become enlightened or have you been hiding your stupidity all this time?"

"Is it too late?"

is it possible?
  After a brief daze, Zhu Zhanji came back to his senses and saw that his father looked unconcerned and cheerful, but he was so anxious that he scratched his cheeks and hurriedly said:

"Dad, are you okay? Did you think too much of your second uncle?"

"As for what happened today, anyone who is not a fool would know that my second uncle came to our family to investigate corruption."

"After all, who doesn't know that Liu Guan, Wuzhong, and Chen Ying came to visit you during the court session yesterday?"

"And today, without any evidence or the emperor's oral or handwritten instructions, the second uncle directly joined forces with the third uncle to run towards Liu Guan."

"It is so obvious to eradicate dissidents and throw dirty water on us."

"You can still sit still and think about your second uncle?"

"Dad! Can you, old man, stop being so big-hearted?"

Having said this, he paused for a moment, his eyes full of anxiety, resentment, and hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel, and he shouted:

"Are you going to wait for your second uncle to drive you off the throne and trample our family into the ground forever?"

"Until then, do you believe in my second uncle's ambition?"

At the same time, Zhu Zhanji was also extremely confused in his heart.

From what he knew about his second uncle, and what he had seen and heard over the years, Zhu Gaoxu gave him the impression that he was a brave and foolish bastard.

In addition to having a good fighting brain.

Playing tricks, playing tricks, etc. are not his strengths at all.

But the various signs Zhu Gaoxu has shown and the things he has done during this period of time can be said to make him feel a little scared when he thinks about it.

The transformation was too overwhelming.

And it is extremely profound, giving people the impression of being scheming and strategizing.

But looking back at my father, he always looked cheerful and like nothing was wrong, as if he didn't see anything and didn't find anything.

He looked extremely worried and anxious.

This was not based on what happened today. He wanted to use this to warn his father and continued:

"Dad!"

"Let's not worry about whether the second uncle did it intentionally or unintentionally. Is he really coming for us or not?"

"We really can't sit back and wait any longer."

"If we don't fight back on this matter, what will the people who have always supported us think of us?"

"Those who don't know think that we are scared and timid. If time goes by, who will dare to support us?"

"Without support, what's the point of being a prince?"

"To put it bluntly, once you lose all support, it doesn't matter whether the crown prince's position is yours or not."

"Dad, are you really willing to give up the position of prince to your second uncle?"

Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting aside from time to time, was holding a cup and drinking hot tea. He stared at his son who was jumping up and down with his eyes half-closed. He didn't make any sound until he lost his voice, then he smiled and asked:

"Well"     "Have you finished complaining?"

"Can you sit down and talk calmly?"

"I can't bear this little grievance. I feel aggrieved, can't sit still, and my heart starts to get confused. Is it going to start jumping up and down?"

After that, he looked at the son in front of him up and down, his eyes suddenly opened, and he shouted in vain:

"It's just your personality"

"If you are so ungrateful, you will jump up and down when something happens, that is, in front of me."

"If your grandpa Huang saw you and heard what you said, do you believe he would have someone hold you down and spank you?"

"Son!"

"If you restrain your temper and don't change, if you continue like this, I'm afraid you will be able to shift the position under our buttocks without your second uncle causing trouble. Do you believe it?"

"Isn't the lesson learned last time profound enough and enough to wake you up?"

Facing the scolding, the expression on Zhu Zhanji's face changed. He couldn't help but think of the disaster he had caused. He quickly waved his hand and explained:
  "Don't worry, dad. My son is not a fool. He still knows what he can and cannot say."

"I just want to say these words in front of you."

"How dare you say it in front of Grandpa Huang?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi narrowed his eyes and looked at him deeply, then looked around, his expression became extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"Just talking in front of me?"

"Hehehe"

"Haven't you heard of the words "walls have ears"?

"I really thought that the prince's residence would be safe. Are you sure there is no spy from your grandpa?"

"Son! You are oversimplifying things. Jin Yiwei is not a vegetarian."

"Think about how your grandpa Huang got into that position and what kind of character he has."

"Don't talk about our mansion, it's just your second uncle's and third uncle's mansion. I'm afraid it's about the same."

boom.
  As soon as the words fell, there was silence.

The expression on Zhu Zhanji's face suddenly changed wildly. He looked at his father with a look of disbelief and horror. His body trembled uncontrollably and he said in a trembling voice:
  "Dad, are you saying that there is an informant of Grandpa Huang in our house?"

"No, no, no, no, right?"

"Is this...that's what it is?"

These words completely stopped Zhu Zhanji and shocked him.

In his mind, he couldn't stop thinking about what he had said in the mansion and the complaints he had made.

"Dad, why didn't you tell me before?"

"I...seem to have made a lot of complaints, Grandpa Huang doesn't do that."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi took a sip of the hot tea in the cup. Seeing his frightened son, he waved his hand noncommittally and said:

“Out of the way”

"You are still a child after all, and some children have normal minds."

"A little grumbling won't have any impact on you."

"If you don't have any complaints at all, and you do everything in a harmonious manner, then others will think there is a problem and think too much about it!"

"but."

Having said this, he paused and his face sank in vain, and said:
  "But you did go a little too far during this period."

"I scolded you several times for this reason. You should know it better than anyone else, but you didn't restrain yourself at all, or even worse."

"If this were not the case, I would not tell you these questions."

"Son! Don't overdo anything, do you understand?"

After hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhu Zhanji's face, and he subconsciously reached out to spare Rao's head. He lowered his head silently, not daring to look at him, and smiled coquettishly, saying:
  "Dad, your son is being reckless."

"Don't worry, my son will be more restrained in the future and pay attention to the propriety of his words."

Seeing this, the prince smiled, stood up and reached out to pat his shoulder gently. He nodded with satisfaction at his attitude and said:
  "okay."

“Just be more careful in the future.”

Then, he half-closed his eyes and asked with a half-smile:

"Son! Do you really think this matter is really bad for us?"

"Is it necessarily a good thing for your second uncle?"

"Will civil servants and those people really abandon us and not support our family?"

"Hahaha"

Zhu Zhanji looked back with a surprised look on his face and asked:
  "It won't, won't it?"

After that, he opened his mouth to say something more, but before he could say anything else, he was interrupted by Zhu Gaochi waving his hand.

"Hehehe"

Zhu Gaochi sneered, his face full of disdain, and said:

"The second brother and the civil servants are like fire and water. Both sides are eager to kill the other and want the other's life."

"Abandon us?"

"Which of them dares?"

"If you don't support us, we will lose the position of crown prince and let the second son take the throne. With his character of retribution."

"Which civil servants can live a good life?"

"I'm afraid everyone will be frightened and walking on thin ice!"

"Do you really think that those civil servants are all fools who can't understand such a simple question?"

Then, he smiled meaningfully, his eyes became extremely deep, and he grinned and said:
  "Under such circumstances, I am not afraid that your second uncle will investigate, but I am afraid that he will not investigate."

"The more people he arrested, the more people he killed."

"Those civil servants are all talented people, and more and more people will move closer to us in the future. Even many people who were neutral before will slowly move closer to us. Why not?"

"It can be said that it will benefit us without any harm."

"You said this is why we need to fight back, is it still necessary for us to fight back?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you that not only will I not fight back on this matter, I will even take action to fuel it when the time is right."

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but frowned. After thinking for a moment, he reacted instantly and his eyes lit up. The frustration and resentment on his face just now disappeared, replaced by a look of confidence. smile.

After that, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his father and said with emotion:

"It's high! It's really high!"

"Dad is far-sighted and not just an ordinary yin!"

Zhu Gaochi pointed, smiled and scolded:
  "How do you talk, kid?"

"Has anyone arranged this for their biological father?"

"No big or small guy"

Da da da.
  Before the words left the courtyard, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the courtyard. Seeing this, the two of them immediately stopped talking and turned to look at the door. A trace of displeasure flashed on their faces, and they were about to scold the person who was coming.

However, after seeing clearly that the person following in was Zhu Di's personal servant, the two people's displeasure instantly subsided.

The slave who entered the courtyard saw the father and son sitting in the courtyard staring blankly at them, and quickly bowed and saluted:
  "My slave, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Grand-grandson."

"According to His Majesty's oral instructions, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will immediately enter the palace to meet the Holy One."

　Dear readers, I'm very sorry. I encountered some urgent matters today, so the update will be delayed.
