My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 64
"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three kingdoms were divided, and the flames of war continued endlessly..."

Zhu Zhanhe hummed the ditties of later generations, and carrying the Romance of the Three Kingdoms given to him by Ma An in his hand, he swayed to Wenhua Hall.

After getting the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhu Zhanhe spent a few days reading the whole book three times. Although there are many contents that are different from the later versions, it still maintains the taste of the Three Kingdoms in general.

Zhu Gaochi's huge body is like a mountain of meat, standing behind the book case, and in front of him is the unchanging official document that can never be finished.

Looking at Zhu Gaochi who was buried in the official document, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly felt a little sorry for his uncle.

There is a stubborn and self-willed father on top, and two younger brothers below who want to grab his seat. The son is too good to cover up his limelight, but Zhu Gaochi is unwilling to lie down, betting his health and life.

In the end he succeeded, but he also failed, and he only became emperor for ten months with all his efforts.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe shook his head, and then looked at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his hand.

When they were in Tianjie Temple before, Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Gaochi talked about the world, knowing that the other party likes to read, and he likes to collect books. The side halls of Wenhua Hall are all his books, especially history books.

The last time Zhu Gaochi helped him find a coppersmith from the Baoquan Bureau, Zhu Zhanhe had to say so.

Although the printing quality of this original Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not very good, it is a good gift for Zhu Gaochi.

"What are you doing poking around outside?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaochi in the hall actually saw Zhu Zhanhe, and immediately raised his head and said loudly to the outside of the hall.

"Uncle is really gifted. He has such a good eye for reading so many official documents every day!"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled and praised before stepping into the main hall.

"Can't you be more serious, kid?"

Zhu Gaochi cursed with a smile, put down the brush in his hand and stretched. He liked Zhu Zhanhe's coming here because every time he chatted with him, it made him feel extra relaxed.

"I'm very serious today, you see, I even brought you a thank you gift!"

Zhu Zhanhe stepped forward and put the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his hand on the desk full of memorials.

"Okay, I know that I have given gifts to people, so the next step is to treat guests to dinner?"

Zhu Gaochi laughed, and curiously picked up a copy of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Zhu Gaochi saw the title of the book but showed a dumbfounding expression: "Will you give me a few romance novels?"

"Uncle doesn't know. This is not an ordinary novel. After you read it, you will understand my nephew's hard work!"

Zhu Zhanhe replied meaningfully.

A piece of Three Kingdoms has written all the heroic feelings and morals of the world, and has influenced countless people in later generations. I hope Zhu Gaochi can understand after reading it, and stop fighting with his old life.

Hearing what Zhu Zhanhe said, Zhu Gaochi also felt a little curious. He immediately opened the page and saw the song "Linjiang Immortal" written by Zhu Zhanhe at the beginning.

the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero. Success or failure turned empty. Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.

White-haired fisherman Qiao Jiangzhu, used to watch the autumn moon and spring breeze.A pot of muddy wine rejoiced to meet each other.Many things, ancient and modern, are in the middle of a joke.

Zhu Gaochi involuntarily recited the poem aloud, and suddenly screamed, "Good! Great word!"

"The word is good, the content in the book is better!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed, and he knew that with the addition of the song Linjiang Immortal Empress, there would definitely be such an effect.

"With this poem alone, your book is already worth thousands of gold!"

Zhu Gaochi praised again, and then asked curiously: "Zhan He, who wrote this poem?"

"Huh? I don't know about this either. I already had this book when I got it."

Zhu Zhanhe lied, if he admitted that he wrote the lyrics, if Zhu Gaochi was happy and dragged him to talk about poems and songs, wouldn't he want to reveal his truth on the spot?

"Seeing that the ink is still fresh, this word should have been written recently. I really want to get to know this great talent, but the handwriting is a bit ugly."

Zhu Gaochi said regretfully, completely oblivious to the darkening of Zhu Zhanhe's face.

After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he continued to read. He was immediately attracted after reading the beginning. The opening chapter explained clearly the situation in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan became sworn brothers.

Zhu Gaochi saw that the three men had started to prepare the army, and was about to lead the troops to wipe out the Yellow Turban bandits, but Zhu Zhanhe stretched out his hand and took the book away.

"Hey, give it to me quickly, I haven't read it yet!"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly reached out to snatch it, but was persuaded by Zhu Zhanhe: "Uncle, it's not too late to read the book. It's not too late to read it after I leave."

"That's true!"

Zhu Gaochi smiled awkwardly, he was so fascinated just now that he forgot that Zhu Zhanhe was still there.

"By the way, I almost forgot!"

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi slapped his forehead suddenly, then stood up while supporting the table, took two steps in front of Zhu Zhanhe, and asked with a proud face, "How is it, do you see anything?"

"Uncle, what's there to see when you're walking?"

Zhu Zhanhe was at a loss, he really didn't know what Zhu Gaochi asked him to see?
"Didn't you see it? I don't need someone to help me when I walk, and I even feel a little thinner!"

Zhu Gaochi said excitedly again.

"Really, uncle, have you started to lose weight?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked with bright eyes when he heard the words, before Zhu Gaochi needed someone to support him when he walked, and he would be tired out of breath when he walked faster.

"Did you forget? You taught me the method last time, and asked me to dig a pool in the palace to swim. Recently, I have followed your advice and swam for about half an hour every day. The effect is really good. I feel that my hands and feet are strong! "

Zhu Gaochi jumped down twice as he spoke to prove it.

Seeing the fat on Zhu Gaochi's body trembling, Zhu Zhanhe couldn't bear to look straight at it, so he kindly said again: "The effect is indeed good. If you reduce one or two additional meals, uncle, the effect will definitely be better."

"This... I will try my best... try my best!"

Zhu Gaochi gave a dry laugh, apparently not having much confidence in dieting.

After chatting for a few gossips, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly thought of Zhu Zhanji who worked hard that day, so he asked curiously, "What's big brother doing recently?"

"Speaking of this matter, I have to thank you. After you went to him that day, he came to me to ask for something to do the next day, so I let him go to the Yongle Grand Ceremony."

Zhu Gaochi laughed again and said that his health has improved and his son has become more sensible. It is a double blessing.

"The Great Canon of Yongle? Hasn't this book been compiled long ago?"

Zhu Zhanhe was taken aback for a moment, then asked in puzzlement.

"It's edited. It's not that the lightning struck Zhongyuan Pavilion some time ago and almost burned the Yongle Grand Ceremony, so your grandpa wants to record a few more copies of the Ceremony..."

Zhu Gaochi briefly told about the Yongle Grand Ceremony.

Zhu Zhanhe blinked in surprise when he heard the words, it couldn't be such a coincidence, he just made the copper movable type, and Zhu Di is going to re-record the Yongle Grand Ceremony?

Before Zhu Zhanhe could react from his astonishment, a eunuch suddenly came rushing in to report: "Prince Qi, Your Majesty has summoned you to the Hall of Martial Arts!"

"Oh, I'll be right there!"

Zhu Gaochi didn't care when he heard the words, thinking that his father wanted to discuss some government affairs with him.

Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly left after hearing the words, but unexpectedly, the eunuch said again: "Your Highness, Your Majesty told you to go with the Crown Prince!"

…………

In the school yard of King Han's Mansion, two cavalrymen were fighting desperately, man against man, horse against horse, the drums were roaring, and the sound of killing shook the world.

"kill~"

Holding a long spear, Zhu Gaoxu picked off the enemy army one by one. The soldiers behind him also rushed to the front, and finally cut off the enemy's team, and then interspersed again, killing the enemy army.

"The victory and defeat have been divided, and the King of Han wins!"

At this time, a soldier nearby shouted, and the two sides who were fighting fiercely separated immediately.

Zhu Gaoxu laughed, and threw the spears in his hands to the guards behind him. None of the weapons they used had spear heads, and they just wrapped lime in white cloth to calculate the damage.

There were only a few faint white spots on Zhu Gaoxu's body, but his subordinates and the "enemy army" on the opposite side seemed to have come out of their face pockets, with white ash everywhere.

"Second brother is as brave as he was back then, if our father took you to the north to conquer the grasslands, the Tatar Wala would have been leveled long ago!"

At this time, Zhu Gaoxuan came forward with a smile, handed a wet towel in his hand to Zhu Gaoxu and said.

Zhu Gaoxu took the towel and wiped his face indiscriminately, and said with a bit of complaint in his tone: "I don't know what our father thinks? He always asks me to stay in the capital, saying that there must be a general in the rear, but he just won't let me go battlefield!"

"I guess our father is worried about big brother sitting in the rear alone, so I asked you to stay behind to contain big brother. After all, if you leave, I can't fight big brother alone."

Zhu Gaoxuan said with a chuckle, there was evil in his words, but Zhu Gaoxu just couldn't hear it.

"But it's coming soon. My father is getting old. Last time he hit me, I could feel his fists and feet were weak. When he can't even lift a knife, it's my turn to go to the battlefield!"

Zhu Gaoxu chuckled, his expression was full of his longing to lead the army across the grassland.

If Zhu Zhanhe was here, he would definitely scold his stupid father in his heart. Zhu Di didn't let Zhu Gaoxu go to the battlefield because he didn't want him to make any more military achievements.

While talking, suddenly saw an eunuch rushing towards him, seeing Zhu Gaoxu immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree to call His Highness the King of Han into the palace!"

"Call me? Could it be that the north is in chaos again, and you are finally going to let me go to the battlefield?"

Zhu Gaoxu also showed ecstasy at the end, what he really wanted!

"Second brother, don't be too happy!"

At this time, Zhu Gaosui reminded, and then asked the eunuch, "When my father asked my second brother to go, how did you feel?"

"This one……"

The eunuch hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood."

"not in a good mood!"

Zhu Gaoxu felt guilty when he heard the words, maybe his father was in a bad mood and wanted to beat himself up again?
"Second brother, why don't you take off your armor."

Zhu Gaosui pointed to the armor on Zhu Gaoxu's body, and reminded him kindly.

"It makes sense, I'll wear this armor and see how he fights!"

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up, and he felt that the third brother treated him better.

"Your Highness the King of Han, no, except for the imperial guards, outsiders are not allowed to wear armor in the palace!"

The eunuch hurriedly advised.

"What's the matter? Doesn't my father often walk around in the palace wearing armor? If father wears it, his son can't wear it?"

Zhu Gaoxu stared bull-eyed, the eunuch was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and he didn't dare to say a word anymore.
