My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 597 Confronting Zhu Gaosui
Upon hearing that eunuch Haitao had confessed, Zhu Gaosui's expression also changed.

But Zhu Gaosui had been through the storm for a long time, and he quickly calmed down and said: "Since you know everything, it doesn't hurt to tell you. I did send some Chinese medicine to my eldest brother, but it was my eldest brother who asked me for it!"

"Uncle asked you for it?"

Zhu Zhanhe was also stunned when he heard this. Is this different from what Haitao said?
"Yes, the eldest brother's choice of concubine had a huge impact before, so I secretly sent him a batch of Korean beauties. These people also knew about it, but then the eldest brother found me alone and asked me for some secret medicine in the house. Originally, I I was afraid that his body wouldn’t be able to bear it, so I advised him not to take the medicine, but he insisted on taking it, so in the end I had no choice but to give him some!”

At the end of his speech, Zhu Gaosui spread his hands and seemed very candid.

"When uncle asked you for medicine, was anyone else present?"

Zhu Zhanhe frowned and asked Zhu Gaosui again.

"What do you think? Big brother will definitely not let other people know about such a secret thing, so there were only two of us at the time."

Zhu Gaosui replied impatiently.

In the past, Zhu Zhanhe would have scoffed at Zhu Gaochi's words, because in his impression at the time, Zhu Gaochi would never do such a thing.

But since Zhu Gaochi came to the throne, what he did was really shocking, so Zhu Zhanhe could not judge the truth or falsehood of Zhu Gaosui's words for a while, because Zhu Gaochi might really do such a thing.

"No one else is present, which is proof of innocence. Of course, Third Uncle, you can say whatever you want."

Zhu Zhanhe deliberately used provocative methods to stimulate Zhu Gaosui and see what his reaction would be?
"If you don't believe it, just ask Brother if you don't believe it..."

Zhu Gaosui retorted at first, but mid-sentence, he suddenly realized something, and immediately looked at Zhu Zhanhe with wide eyes in shock.

"not good!"

Zhu Zhanhe also screamed secretly. He was only thinking about irritating Zhu Gaosui, but he forgot that Zhu Gaosui didn't know about Zhu Gaochi's death. As a result, he let something slip. With Zhu Gaosui's intelligence, he would definitely be able to hear the information behind it.

Sure enough, after Zhu Gaosui was shocked, he immediately grabbed Zhu Zhanhe's arm and asked excitedly: "Tell me, brother, is he gone?"

"Third uncle, at this time, if you know too much, you will only get yourself into more trouble, so you might as well pretend to be confused!"

Zhu Zhanhe took a deep breath and reminded.

If Zhu Gaosui knew that Zhu Gaochi had passed away, Queen Zhang would definitely be more wary of him, and the number of guards outside the palace would increase. By then, not even a single bird would fly out of the entire palace, not to mention anyone.

After hearing Zhu Zhanhe's words, Zhu Gaosui finally calmed down a bit, and he murmured a little absentmindedly: "My father just passed away, and my eldest brother left shortly after. It seems that what the young master said was right. "

"Young Master? What did he say?"

When Zhu Zhanhe heard Zhu Gaosui mention Yao Guangxiao, he couldn't help but asked curiously.

"When your grandpa was still King Yan, he had a chat with the young master and asked him to comment on our three brothers. As a result, I happened to pass by, so I overheard the young master's comment on us."

Zhu Gaosui did not show off and answered directly.

"What did the young master say?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked curiously again.

"The young master said that the eldest brother is not blessed enough to be rich and powerful; the second brother is brave, but may not end up well in the future; but I am cautious and have a rich life. It is exactly what I heard from the young master that I have been doing this all these years. I have always believed that the throne of the Ming Dynasty must be mine!" When Zhu Gaosui said the last words, he also showed an expression of gritted teeth, because after all his tricks, the throne still fell into Zhu Gaochi's hands.

Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but admire after hearing this, because Yao Guangxiao was so accurate in judging people. Historically, Zhu Gaochi was emperor for ten months, and Zhu Gaoxu was made into a roast duck by his nephew Zhu Zhanji. On the contrary, Zhu Gaosui was rich all his life, although he only lived for 50 years. Years old, but also ended up with a good death.

"Third uncle, please don't go too far. You gave the Chinese medicine to uncle, so I'm afraid this responsibility..."

Zhu Zhanhe changed the topic again. He was still skeptical about Zhu Gaosui's previous answer.

"Whether you believe it or not, my eldest brother took the initiative to ask me for the medicine, and as long as the medicine is taken in moderation, it does very little harm to people. I am taking it myself, and I haven't had any problems until now!"

Zhu Gaosui spread his hands and put all the responsibility on Zhu Gaochi.

"Well, since you said so, third uncle, I can only go back and report to my aunt and ask her to make a decision. It's best for you to stay in the palace during this period to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings!"

After Zhu Zhanhe said goodbye, he turned around and left the hall.

After Zhu Zhanhe left, Zhu Zhanhe quickly walked out from the screen at the back and said with an extremely excited expression on his face: "Dad, uncle is really dead. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"What a fart!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaosui's face darkened and he glared at Zhu Zhan'an fiercely.

"Your uncle promised to help me send troops to Japan, but the troops haven't been sent out yet, but the people are gone. When that boy Zhu Zhanji comes back, he will definitely change his mind!"

"Dad, you can't just focus on that small place in Japan. Now my uncle is dead and my eldest brother is not here. If you stand up at this time, you might be able to seize the throne first. After all, a country cannot be without a king for a day!"

Zhu Zhanping continued to confuse him, saying that in his dreams he wanted Zhu Gaosui to be the emperor, and then he would be the prince.

"Stop daydreaming. Didn't you expect that this boy Zhanhe is on your mother-in-law's side? This means that generals like Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong also obey the orders of the palace. With them here, we What chance do father and son have, let alone we can’t even get out of the house now!”

Zhu Gaosui glared at his son again. Although Zhu Zhanyi was sometimes very shrewd, he had no vision, especially when it came to the overall situation.

"So we can't do anything now and can only watch Zhu Zhanji come back to take over the throne?"

When Zhu Zhan'an said this, he also asked with a face full of unwillingness.

"Not necessarily!"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaosui suddenly smiled coldly at this time.

"What else can we do, Dad, please tell me!"

Zhu Zhan'an was shocked when he heard this and immediately urged.

"The last thing your uncle should have done was let that boy Zhan Ji leave the capital. Now he is far away in Nanjing. Just sending someone to notify him and waiting for him to come back will take at least a month."

Zhu Gaosui paused for a moment before saying this, and then said again: "You can do a lot of things this month. For example, when Zhan Ji comes back, if something happens to him on the road, then here in the capital...hehe~"
