My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 629 Desert Island Interview

"No, Zhu Zhanji is too insidious. He must have bad intentions if he wants to see you!"

When Zhu Gaoxu learned that Zhu Zhanji wanted to meet Zhu Zhanhe alone, he refused without thinking.

"I don't think you should take any chances, Zhan He. If this is a trap, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Zhang Zhong also reminded him at this time.

They are about to leave the Ming Dynasty's waters. If Zhu Zhanhe goes to see Zhu Zhanji at this time, if he is caught, there will be complications again.

"Don't worry, he asked to meet me, but I can also put forward some conditions. For example, the way of meeting is not that I go to see him, nor that he comes to see me, but that the meeting is held in a safe place for both parties, such as the giant turtle. On the island, both sides only bring a small number of guards, so there is no need to worry about problems."

Zhu Zhanhe explained with a smile.

He actually wanted to see Zhu Zhanji because he had many questions to ask him, especially about Zhu Gaochi's death. Although he was now certain that Zhu Gaochi's death was definitely related to Zhu Zhanji, there was no evidence after all.

"But even so, it's still a bit risky, so I think it's better not to see him!"

Zhang Zhong still objected.

Compared with Zhang Zhong, Zhu Gaoxu understood Zhu Zhanhe's thoughts better. In addition, he also wanted to know what Zhu Zhanji was thinking and why he wanted to kill his biological father?

So Zhu Gaoxu finally changed his words and said: "Well, since you want to go, then be fully prepared and never put yourself in danger!"

"Father, don't worry, I will definitely not take my own safety for granted!"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled lightly and saluted.

Zhang Zhong saw that Zhu Gaoxu also agreed. He couldn't say anything more and could only silently figure out how to ensure Zhu Zhanhe's safety to the maximum extent.

Zhu Zhanji also responded quickly. The other party sent Xia Yuanji over again to express his agreement to Zhu Zhanhe's request for a meeting. The location was at Giant Turtle Island. At that time, both parties would bring a hundred guards from both sides of the island. Side landing and then meet on the island.

Zhu Zhanhe also agreed and set a time with Xia Yuanji tomorrow afternoon.

So both sides prepared separately. In the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Zhanji each took a boat and arrived at Giant Turtle Island.

Although Giant Turtle Island has the word "giant" in it, it is actually very small. To be precise, it is more like a large reef. There is no fresh water on the island, and there are not even trees, only some low shrubs.

After Zhu Zhanhe landed on the island, he walked along the beach and soon met Zhu Zhanji's people. He saw that the other party had set up a small shed on the beach and brought simple tables and chairs. Zhu Zhanji was Sitting under the shed making tea.

"Second brother, long time no see!"

When Zhu Zhanji saw Zhu Zhanhe, he also stood up with a smile and said hello.

"Brother, it's so fun to cook tea and enjoy the scenery on this deserted island overseas!"

Zhu Zhanhe was not polite and walked directly into the shed and sat across from Zhu Zhanji.

When the two of them were talking, the guards they brought with them also retreated about a hundred steps each to prevent anyone from hearing the content of their conversation.

Zhu Zhanji did not speak this time. Instead, he waited for the water to boil and poured the hot water into the teacup. The tea leaves quickly expanded under the soaking of hot water, and the faint fragrance of tea also drifted away.

"Drink tea!"

Zhu Zhanji personally delivered the tea to Zhu Zhanhe and said.

Zhu Zhanhe was not polite, took a sip of tea and said, "Sure enough, the tea in the palace tastes better."

"Second brother, you are so courageous. If it were my third uncle, he would definitely not dare to drink my tea!" Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Zhu Zhanhe was not guarding against him.

"If my third uncle brewed the tea for me, I wouldn't dare drink it!"

Zhu Zhanhe replied pointedly.

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he looked at Zhu Zhanhe with a faint look. After a while, he asked: "What did the third uncle say to you?"

"It doesn't matter what the third uncle said, what matters is what you did?"

Zhu Zhanhe stared at Zhu Zhanji and asked tit for tat.

"Then what do you think I did?"

Zhu Zhanji sat up straight and stared into Zhu Zhanhe's eyes and asked.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't want to play charades with Zhu Zhanji anymore, so he simply asked directly: "Did you replace uncle's medicine?"

When Zhu Zhanhe asked this question, Zhu Zhanji's movements paused slightly, but he seemed to be mentally prepared. After a moment, he calmly nodded and said: "Yes!"

"Why? Why are you so cruel and want to kill your biological father?"

Although Zhu Zhanhe had been mentally prepared, after hearing Zhu Zhanji's personal admission, he still found it unacceptable and immediately asked him with gritted teeth.

I saw that Zhu Zhanji was not in a hurry to explain, but picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. Then he took a breath and said: "Second brother, although my father has not been in power for a long time, you can't help but think about the things he did." He knows better than me, and there is only one way to stop him!"

"Just because of this, you want to kill uncle?"

Zhu Zhanhe's eyes were red, and he stared at Zhu Zhanji and asked again.

Faced with Zhu Zhanhe's questioning, Zhu Zhanji suddenly chuckled, raised his eyes and asked Zhu Zhanhe: "Zhanhe, tell me honestly, when my father acted so recklessly, didn't you have any murderous intentions? "

"I……"

Zhu Zhanhe wanted to deny it, but he couldn't say the next words anyway.

When Zhu Gaochi wanted to move back to Nanjing, and later when the sea ban was to be restarted, Zhu Zhanhe really hoped that Zhu Gaochi would die early so that he could leave a good reputation.

Seeing Zhu Zhanhe's speechless look, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help laughing.

After a while, Zhu Zhanji stopped laughing and said: "It seems that Zhanhe, you and I have had murderous intentions towards my father. The only difference is that I took action, and I'm sure that in the When your father passed away suddenly, you must have been secretly glad in your heart, because once your father died, not only would you no longer have to worry about the perverse and chaotic government, but your father would also be able to maintain a good reputation!"

Zhu Zhanji seemed to be able to see through Zhu Zhanhe's heart and said everything he was thinking at once.

Zhu Zhanhe also bowed his head and remained silent at this time, because Zhu Zhanji was really right. After Zhu Gaochi's death, he was indeed quite happy despite his grief. Almost everyone, including ministers like Xia Yuanji, relaxed. tone.

"It's not just you. At that time, all civil and military officials in the dynasty actually hoped that my father would die soon. At that time, my father was addicted to wine and sex. With his physical condition, he would die in the harem sooner or later. I just changed it to a stronger one. It’s just a matter of adding Chinese medicine to the room to speed up the process!”

Zhu Zhanji said very frankly.

"What a righteous man. Do you dare to say that you did this entirely out of public motives and that you didn't have the slightest intention of inheriting the throne as soon as possible?"

Zhu Zhanhe was not so easily deceived, and immediately asked Zhu Zhanji again.
