King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 169: Warning King Zhao, Japanese pirate envoys visit

This statement came out.

The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

Zhu Gaosui's expression was slightly startled, feeling the eyes looking at him, his eyes dodge for a moment, and he did not dare to look at them. There was a trace of uneasiness in his words, and he explained anxiously:

"Second child"

"I, I. I have never done anything like this."

"You can't open your mouth and talk nonsense, blaming me for everything!"

"We are flesh and blood brothers. You know that I have always supported you in that position."

"How could it be possible to do something like this that adds insult to injury?"

"This must be someone who is causing trouble in the middle, intending to sow discord and trust between our two brothers."

"You can't think like that and listen to the provocations between villains."

Listening to his sophistry, Zhu Gaoxu sneered "hehe" and gave him a meaningful look.

This third child!

It should be said that he is the most ambitious and the one who hides the deepest.

From what he showed on the surface, everyone subconsciously believed that he was a Hanwang Party member and a die-hard supporter of Zhu Gaoxu.

In fact, he still had his own little plans behind his back, and he would tease the relationship between the prince and him from time to time.

In terms of historical trends.

In the early days, they worked together with Zhu Gaoxu and conspired to seize the heir. They often made some small tricks to trap the prince Zhu Gaochi into injustice. At the same time, they also took the opportunity to add insult to injury and trick Zhu Gaoxu from time to time.

He was even more bold in the later period, when Emperor Yongle was seriously ill.

Together with the guard commander Meng Xian and others, he colluded with the imperial eunuch Wang Shecheng and the adopted son of the eunuch Yang Qing to forge a will, intending to poison Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, depose the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, and then proclaim himself emperor.

Fortunately, Gao Yizheng, the in-law of General Banner Wang Yu, planned a conspiracy for Meng Xian and told Wang Yu. Wang Yu immediately sued Zhu Di.

The conspiracy planned by Zhu Gaosui and others failed, and the furious Zhu Di ordered people to take it down directly.

In the end, it was the prince Zhu Gaochi who, thinking of his brotherhood, tried his best to defend and plead for him, and finally saved his life.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu half-squinted his eyes, glanced at him coldly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and snorted, saying:

"Lao San"

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself."

"You have your abilities, and I have my channels."

"As for this matter, whether it is sowing discord or not, you and I both know in our hearts."

"And what kind of purpose you have, I think not only me but also the boss knows it."

"Everything should be done in moderation, but don't go too far."

"Do you still remember what I said in the military camp during the expedition to the Timur Empire?"

"If you really go too far one day, be careful as I join forces with the boss to deal with the 'little guy' who's jumping up and down first."

Having said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly smiled strangely, reached out and patted his shoulder heavily, and continued:

"The third child!"

"I thought I heard the old man say that the ancestral mausoleum of Fengyang ancestral land of our Lao Zhu family lacks a person to look after the mausoleum."

"It's such a good thing, if you ask me and the boss to recommend you."

"What will the old man consider?"

Zhu Gaosui: "????"

Good guy!

What a great guy!

See the ancestral land and ancestral mausoleum?

Good job?

I believed your evil deeds!

Throughout the ages, whoever looks at the ancestral mausoleum and ancestral land has not made a big mistake?

To put it nicely, it is called visiting the ancestral land and ancestral mausoleums, but to put it badly, it is called imprisonment or house arrest.

If he really went there, how would he be recorded in the history books and how would he be evaluated? Even if he doesn't care about these comments and the like, the question is, is Fengyang Youying Tianfu living a comfortable life?

Besides, deep down in his heart, he still expected the eldest and second eldest brother to compete for that position, and both sides would suffer!

At that time, he can take the opportunity to reap the benefits.

If you really go to Fengyang, you still have a chance!

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and it would take several days to send a message at high speed.

After receiving the news, we will organize people and horses to rush back. By then, the day lilies may be cold.

Only fools go there if their brains are sick!

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi's expression froze, his face turned slightly pale, his body shivered involuntarily, and he quickly waved his hand and said:

"Second brother, thank you!!"

"How can I bother you and the boss? I'm so sorry. Let's forget it."

"I think Yingtian Mansion is very good, very good."

After that, he stopped thinking about chirping with Zhu Gaoxu and fanning the wind to light up the will-o'-the-wisp. He was afraid that the person in front of him would be really angered by just a few words, if the second brother really joined forces with the boss to trick him.

Then he is the one who really makes the sky unresponsive, calls the earth inoperable, and makes the mute unable to tell the pain of eating Coptis chinensis.

"Old man, you are still waiting for me in the palace to report the situation in the weapons workshop!"

"I'm going to leave now. We brothers will meet again another day."

Say it.

Without any hesitation, he directly applied oil to the soles of his feet and ran away wisely.

Seeing the figure leaving in despair, Zhu Gaoxu half-squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, his face full of disdain, and murmured in a low voice:

"Third brother, are you playing tricks on me and giving me eye drops?"

"You really don't want to eat what you eat, and you try to take advantage of the fire, sowing discord between the two sides. How can it be so easy and simple?"

"Let's see who is playing with whom."

After that, he waved to the slaves beside him and was about to board the carriage and go home.

Ta-ta-ta.

Just at this moment, a figure riding a war horse not far away came galloping towards the weapons workshop from a distance.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was about to go home, stopped abruptly, narrowed his eyes and looked at his position curiously.

After a while, the horseman tightened the reins in his hands and stopped at the entrance of the weapons workshop.

The visitor was none other than Zhu Di's personal servant.

Then, the slave turned over and dismounted, bowed to Zhu Gaoxu with great respect, and said softly:

"My servant pays homage to the King of Han."

Seeing the saluting slave, Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand at him indifferently, and asked slightly curiously:

"Father-in-law, what are you doing?"

Listening to the question, the slave quickly responded:

"This slave is here to convey His Majesty's oral instructions to the prince."

After a brief daze, Zhu Gaoxu squinted his eyes, frowned and asked aloud:

"But what big thing happened in the court?"

The slave shook her head slightly, then her expression suddenly became solemn, her voice became sonorous and powerful, and she spoke with great solemnity:

"Report to the Prince of Han."

"The Japanese envoys came to heaven to see His Majesty in an attempt to meet His Majesty."

"Your Majesty asked me to tell the prince that you are now the supervisor of the country in the court, and the affairs of the Japanese envoys will be left to you to handle."

"At the same time, His Majesty asked me to tell the prince that in recent years, Japanese pirates and pirates have often harassed the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, causing the people along the coast to suffer terribly. Let the prince decide what to do."
