My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 616 Talk about conditions

Back to two days ago, Zhu Zhanji led an army to fight back to the imperial city, only to be informed by Xia Yuanji that Concubine He in the palace had given birth to a son for him, and now he had also fallen into the hands of Zhu Gaoxu.

After hearing the news, Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded. In the past few years, he had worked day and night like Zhang Fu to give birth to a son, but he ended up giving birth to three daughters in a row. Zhu Zhanji had also been worried about Concubine He's pregnancy before. Another daughter.

In the end, God took pity on him and finally gave him a son, but this son came at the wrong time. Now he has become a hostage in the hands of Zhu Gaoxu. How can we fight this battle?
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asked me to tell you that the King of Han has no intention of usurping the throne. It was just because you prevented the King of Han from going to the capital for the funeral that he was angry and raised an army. However, as long as he attended the funerals of Taizong and the late emperor, the King of Han would leave and return to Tianzhu. !”

At this time, Xia Yuanji reported in a low voice again.

"really?"

Zhu Zhanji asked with a suspicious expression.

"Your Majesty, whether what the King of Han said is true or false, it doesn't matter anymore. The King of Han is trapped in the imperial city, but there are your family members in the imperial city. This matter can only be reconciled, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

Xia Yuanji looked directly at Zhu Zhanji and said again in a solemn voice.

Zhu Zhanji also showed a silent expression at this time. Although emotionally he was unwilling to accept such a result, his reason told him that reconciliation was the only solution. Otherwise, if he really wanted to fight to the death with Zhu Gaoxu, he might really I'm going to be a loner.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji finally raised his head and asked, "Where are the Queen Mother and the Prince? Are they safe now?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The King of Han will place the queen, prince, and concubines in the harem all in the Qianqing Palace, and send people to protect them. No outsiders will be allowed to approach. There will definitely be no problems!"

Xia Yuanji immediately reported it.

Of course, the so-called "protection" can actually be regarded as a guard. If Zhu Zhanji desperately attacks the imperial city, the safety of these people may not be guaranteed.

Zhu Zhanji thought that his mother, wife and children were in the hands of the other party, so he could only suppress his anger and said again: "Okay, please go to Xia Shangshu again and ask him what he plans to do. As long as it is not too much, I can agree to him! "

"Your Majesty is wise, I will go back now!"

When Xia Yuanji saw Zhu Zhanji relenting, he immediately said happily. After saying this, he turned around and returned to the palace.

Zhu Gaoxu and Queen Mother Zhang sat opposite each other in the Wuying Hall, sipping tea and chatting about home affairs. They looked very harmonious.

"I heard that my eldest brother did a lot of ridiculous things after he came to the throne. Sister-in-law, don't blame him. After all, he has been holding back too hard these years!"

Zhu Gaoxu took a sip of tea and suddenly told Empress Dowager Zhang about Zhu Gaochi.

"Everyone is gone, and I don't bother to argue with him. I just hate that he refused to listen to my advice, which is why he ended up like this!"

Empress Dowager Zhang said she didn't care, but in fact there was a bit of resentment in her words.

In fact, this is normal. After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he indulged in women and ignored government affairs, and did not care about his body. For this reason, Empress Dowager Zhang repeatedly persuaded Zhu Gaochi to take care of his body, but Zhu Gaochi not only refused to listen, but even quarreled with Empress Dowager Zhang. got up.

In the end, the two husbands and wives ignored each other. If it were not for the presence of his son Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaochi might have really broken his heart and destroyed the wretched wife of Queen Mother Zhang.

"Eldest brother has indeed done a lot of wrong things. In fact, I have known for a long time that in order to express himself well in front of my father, he suppressed his true temperament at all times. As a result, when my father left, he completely let go. But in my opinion towards him He understands that he will probably recover after he indulges for a while, but it’s a pity that God doesn’t give him time!”

Zhu Gaoxu sighed again at the end.

When he received the news of the death of his father Zhu Di, after the grief, he also wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty to have a drink with Zhu Gaochi. Although the two had conflicts at the beginning, that was all in the past. Now Zhu Gaochi is overseas and has nothing to do with Zhu Gaochi. There is a conflict of interest, so it is time to reconcile.Unexpectedly, on the way back, they learned that Zhu Gaochi had also passed away. Now there was no chance for the two to reconcile.

"Second brother, you have changed so much. You would never have said this calmly before!"

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Gaoxu in surprise and said that now Zhu Gaoxu was completely different from the violent King of Han in her impression. If Zhu Gaoxu's appearance hadn't changed much, she would have suspected that the other party had been tricked.

"Haha~, sister-in-law, you and Zhan He said the same thing. You both think I have changed a lot. Even the princess said this about me. But this is normal. I went overseas alone and had to worry about everything by myself. I have a bad temper. Of course I have to change it, otherwise how can I build a huge empire?"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said with pride in his tone. It was obvious that he was very proud of the changes in himself.

"You're really out of breath after complimenting you a lot. Although you have changed a bit, as the saying goes, a country is easy to change but a nature is difficult to change. For example, this time, just because Zhanji didn't let you enter the capital, you directly led the troops into the emperor's capital. Cheng, can you tell me how ordinary people would do such a thing?"

Queen Mother Zhang joked at this time.

"I... wasn't I forced to do nothing?"

Zhu Gaoxu said with a red face.

While they were talking, Xia Yuanji walked in with a happy face. He first saluted the Queen Mother Zhang and said, "Queen Mother Zhang, Your Majesty has already said that you can ask the King of Han to make any conditions, as long as they are not excessive, he can agree to it! "

"Second brother, I told Zhan Ji that he will definitely agree. Now you can just ask for any conditions you have!"

Empress Dowager Zhang was also very happy when she heard this, and immediately said to Zhu Gaoxu.

"Okay, I only have three conditions. First, I want to attend the funeral of my father and eldest brother, and during this period, he must ensure my safety!"

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out a finger and said.

"No problem, I can agree to this. If Zhanji dares to disobey, I will die in front of the late emperor's soul!"

Empress Dowager Zhang agreed decisively.

"Second, I want him to promise not to send anyone to attack Zhanhe's fleet in Tianjin. If something happens to them, I will drag everyone to death even if I fight to the death!"

Zhu Gaoxu said again with a murderous look on his face.

"Of course there's no problem with that. You didn't harm the family members in the palace. I believe Zhan Ji will not harm his younger siblings and Zhan He."

Queen Mother Zhang nodded again and said, this condition is also very reasonable.

"Third, I want to send away some people related to the Han Palace from the capital to prevent them from being retaliated against after we leave!"

Zhu Gaoxu said again.

He did not forget that Zhu Yong opened the city gate and let them into the city. If Zhu Yong was left alone, he would definitely be executed by Zhu Zhanji, so he had to be sent away. In addition, he had another plan.
