My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 623
When Zhu Gaosui said that someone wanted to kill him and silence him, Zhu Zhanhe was also stunned. You must know that Zhu Gaosui was the King of Zhao, and there were only a few people in the entire Ming Dynasty who had the ability to kill him and silence him.

"Who is going to kill you?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked, staring at Zhu Gaosui with burning eyes.

"I can't say it now, unless I wait for my second brother to come back and tell him face to face!"

Zhu Gaosui hesitated for a moment, then replied loudly.

"I understand, it's the eldest brother who wants to kill you and silence you!"

Zhu Zhanhe immediately guessed the truth after hearing this, because apart from Zhu Gaoxu, the only person who could kill Zhu Gaosui and silence him was Zhu Zhanji. Now Zhu Gaosui wanted to see Zhu Gaojiu, so he eliminated one, so that only one was left Zhu Zhanji is here.

"It's no use if you guessed it, I can't say it now anyway!"

Zhu Gaosui shouted again, but his words also confirmed that Zhu Zhanhe's guess was correct. The person who wanted to kill him and silence him was Zhu Zhanji.

This made Zhu Zhanhe even more curious. Logically speaking, when Zhu Zhanji caught Zhu Gaosui, he would only ask him whether he had poisoned Zhu Gaochi, and whether the person who intercepted Zhu Zhanji on the way was sent by him?If these two issues are not understood clearly, Zhu Zhanji will probably not do anything to Zhu Gaosui.

But now Zhu Gaosui said that Zhu Zhanji wanted to kill him and silence him, which was very strange. Zhu Zhanhe intuitively told him that there must be something he didn't know about behind this, and it might even involve a huge conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe immediately ordered: "Take everyone on the boat away, and the boat will be scuttled in the open sea!"

Liu Ke and others agreed and immediately brought Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhannui and his son back to the ship of the Han Dynasty.

After returning, Zhu Zhanhe was still unwilling, so he asked Zhu Gaosui several times, wondering why Zhu Zhanji wanted to kill him to silence him?
But Zhu Gaojiu just bit him to death. He would not say anything until Zhu Gaojiu came back. In his words, Zhu Gaojiu was his biological second brother from the same mother. No matter how big a mistake he made, Zhu Gaojiu would at best kill his legs. Interrupt, but would never kill him, but it wouldn't be possible if it were someone else.

Facing Zhu Gaojiu, Zhu Gaojiu had nothing to do. After all, the other party was his uncle, and he couldn't let Liu Ke use Jin Yiwei's interrogation methods. Anyway, Zhu Gaojiu would be back tomorrow, and it wouldn't take more than a day and a half. of.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Gaoxu led his army to Tianjin, accompanied by Zhang Fu and his army, mainly to monitor Zhu Gaoxu's army.

Xia Yuanji also came with Zhang Fu's army. After Zhu Gaoxu withdrew his army to the ship, Xia Yuanji immediately boarded the ship to discuss the next matters.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Emperor Taizong's funeral has been completed. Is it time for you to hand over the prince to us?"

Xia Yuanji asked straight to the point.

"Not now, we have to wait until we evacuate to a safe area before handing over anyone!"

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and refused.

"But you have all boarded the ship. As soon as you get out of the sea, the sea is vast. It is not easy to find you. If you don't make friends by then, I will not be able to go back and report to Your Majesty. Explain it!"

Xia Yuanji said again with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Xia Shangshu, it's not that we don't believe you, but we are still in the waters of Ming Dynasty. If we hand over the hostages, my eldest brother may send navy to intercept us at any time. With our small strength, we are not even enough to protect ourselves, so we only Only when your own safety can be guaranteed can you surrender to others.”

Zhu Zhanhe also spoke at this time. "When does the prince plan to hand over the throne?"

Xia Yuanji asked helplessly. In fact, he was mentally prepared, and as far as he knew, Zhu Zhanji really couldn't swallow this breath. He might actually ambush the navy halfway, waiting to intercept Zhu Gaoxu and his son.

"At least we have to wait until we leave the Ming Dynasty's waters, such as arriving in Jiaozhi, before we can make friends."

Zhu Zhanhe replied directly that he had been thinking about this matter during this period, so he had already thought of a plan.

"Jiaozhi? That's too far!"

Xia Yuanji frowned when he heard this. Jiaozhi is the southernmost point of the Ming Dynasty. Going further south will reach Nanyang. You must know that the political center of the Ming Dynasty has moved to Beijing, and its control over the south has naturally declined. For example, Jiaozhi recently Someone started making trouble over there again.

"Jiaozhi is already our bottom line. I originally planned to make friends with Nanyang again. After all, the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty has been booming in the past few years, and the navy of the Ming Dynasty has appeared in Nanyang."

Zhu Gaoxu also spoke at this time.

Seeing that the other father and son were so insistent, Xia Yuanji had no choice but to finally agree: "Okay, but I have to go south with you. When you make friends, I will personally hold the little prince and leave! "

Xia Yuanji had no choice, because before coming, Zhu Zhanji told him to take the child back in person, so no matter where Zhu Gaoxu and the others were going, he had to follow them.

"Okay, if you don't mind, Xia Shangshu, you can just follow us to Tianzhu!"

Zhu Zhanhe joked, which made Xia Yuanji smile helplessly. With his status, it was of course impossible for him to leave Ming Dynasty and go to Tianzhu.

Zhu Zhanhe personally arranged for Xia Yuanji to stay on the boat where he lived, and the little prince was also here, so that Xia Yuanji could see him every day and make him feel at ease.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Zhanhe and his fleet left the port. Zhang Fu mobilized the Tianjin navy and followed Zhu Zhanhe and his fleet with Zeng Quan, nominally to protect Zhu Gaoxu, his father, his son, and the young prince. The security is actually for surveillance.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't pay attention to the fact that Zhang Fu and others were hanging behind him. In fact, it was good for them to follow him. If Zhu Zhanhe and his fleet were in danger, Zhang Fu would really have to send someone to rescue them.

When the hostages are to be handed over in the future, Zhu Zhanhe can send someone to notify Zhang Fu and ask him to retreat with the fleet, which can ensure the safety of Zhu Zhanhe and the others.

After the fleet went to sea, Zhu Zhanhe had the opportunity to find Zhu Gaojiu alone, and then told him what happened to Zhu Gaosui and his son.

"The third child said he was afraid that boy Zhanji would kill him and silence him?"

Zhu Gaojiu was also shocked after hearing this, and immediately asked Zhu Zhanhe to take him to see Zhu Gaosui.

So the father and son came to the cabin where Zhu Gaosui and his son were detained. When Zhu Gaosui saw Zhu Gaoxu, he immediately ran forward excitedly and shouted: "Second brother, I finally see you alive!"

Zhu Gaojiu looked excited and rushed forward to hug Zhu Gaojiu. Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaojiu raised his right foot and kicked Zhu Gaojiu in the chest.

Zhu Gaojiu's kick was really ruthless. He kicked Zhu Gaosui upside down and knocked over the table after landing. His face turned pale after the fall, and he could not breathe with his mouth wide open.
