King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

"not enough?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the prince coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Boss, this bastard.

Knowledgeable and thoughtful.

He is a person who won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit.

But he is also a greedy person.

The problem is, he has already revealed the secret, and this bastard is still not satisfied and keeps telling him it’s not enough?
to be honest.

I just don't want to get involved, I don't want to be involved, I want to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers, and enjoy the benefits myself. No matter success or failure, it will not have any impact on me, and I don't want to make enemies with everyone.

If he succeeds, he will become the crown prince and enjoy the benefits of success.

If that doesn't work, he can try to mediate, use Zhu Gaoxu as a shield, and then win the favor of all the ministers, right?

How can such a good thing happen?
Do you really think Zhu Gaoxu is a fool?
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and his expression became more gloomy unconsciously. He stared at the prince for a long time with frosty eyes, and complained in his heart:

"Okay!"

"When you see the benefits, you feel that your bargaining chips are not enough and you are unwilling to get out."

"OK!"

"Since you don't care about the benefits, I'll give you a sense of threat."

"I think it threatens your position and even the safety of the Ming Dynasty."

"After something like this happened, I wonder if you, a bastard, can still sit still and talk as nonchalantly as you do now."

"Can you still sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight? Can you still make sarcastic remarks like this and be so self-righteous?"

"Hehehe"

Then, Zhu Gaoxu sneered, and suddenly opened his half-closed eyes. He stared at the prince who was close to him for a long time with deep meaning. A hint of intriguing meaning emerged at the corners of his slightly raised mouth, and he said with a smile:

"Boss! Boss!"

"Okay, okay, okay."

"Your short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness really open my eyes!"

"Really, I never dreamed that you were such a person."

Facing Zhu Gaoxu's obvious and emotional sarcasm.

Zhu Gaochi turned a blind eye, as if nothing had happened. He looked happy and interested in Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing so close to him. He did not make any answer. He just had the same attitude, no matter how nice or unpleasant your words were.

I just won’t take the challenge, I won’t get involved, and I won’t be fooled.

See what you can do and what you can do to me.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting next to him, looked at the prince who was looking at him calmly, as if he was looking at the prince who was jumping up and down like a circus monkey.

Zhu Gaoxu sneered, and simply stopped hiding his thoughts. After pondering for a moment, he asked in a deep voice:
"Boss! Boss!"

"Just have fun!"

"You are so self-righteous. I see that at some point, you will become the king of a fallen country and a prisoner of others, or you will turn the Ming Dynasty into a replica of the Song Dynasty and become a second Song Dynasty. I want to see how you will explain to our ancestors of the Zhu family a hundred years from now."

"How can we have the face to go down and meet our ancestors of the Zhu family?"

At this point, Zhu Gaoxu paused, and the solemn and anxious expression on his face instantly subsided, replaced by a relaxed expression with a hint of playful smile, and continued:

"I am only a prince."

"Anyway, I've said and done everything I should have said and done."

"As for whether to believe it or not, what to do, or how to do it, it has nothing to do with me."

"Otherwise, everyone would think I had some bad intentions and would guard against me like a thief!"

"Right!"

"Anyway, the Ming Dynasty in the later period is not mine, so that position cannot possibly belong to me, nor to my son."

“Why should I worry so much?”

"From now on... no matter what happens to the Ming Dynasty, it will not be my lineage's business."

"If the ancestors want to blame someone, it can't be me. Why should I worry about anything else? Aren't I tired?"

"Why, why bother."

"Boss, aren't you right?"

This statement came out.

Zhu Gaochi paused.

Then the contented look on his face, the look of enjoyment in watching the show, disappeared in an instant.

He could no longer sit down and feel at ease, watching Zhu Gaoxu fool around and jump up and down.

Senseless.

Zhu Gaochi was completely confused.

Then, he suddenly stood up from the armchair, and the disdainful expression on his face instantly subsided, replaced by a solemn expression. He opened his mouth subconsciously and looked at Zhu Gaoxu who was close at hand in disbelief. His words suddenly became extremely urgent, and his voice also rose, and he asked:

"what?"

"Second brother, what do you mean?"

"What on earth are you talking about?"

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu just smiled faintly, shrugged indifferently, looked at the prince with a smile on his face, picked up the teacup on the stone table calmly, gently twisted the cup lid to shake off the floating objects on the water, took a sip of the tea, then raised his eyebrows, turned his head and looked at the prince who looked anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, and replied with a smile:

"what do you mean?"

"That's what the words mean, what else could it mean?"

"What?"

"When did the boss become so overbearing that he even made it impossible for people to speak?"

"Moreover"

"Boss, weren't you not in a hurry just now? You thought the matter was unimportant, and you looked like you were just sitting there watching?"

"In this situation, why do you look like this now, and why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's not necessary, it's not necessary at all, isn't it?"

Say it.

Zhu Gaoxu seemed not to have noticed the prince's frosty fat face and anxious look, as if he was saying, "You worry about your things, I drink my tea, and nothing else matters to me."

This is the situation.

Zhu Gaoxu's actions and behaviors were similar to the behavior of the Crown Prince just now.

They are almost identical, with no difference at all.

In an instant, the two of them swapped roles.

Zhu Gaochi: "!!!!!!"

I'm crazy.
See, is this human language?
After hearing this and seeing Zhu Gaoxu's expression.

The prince thought that he was well-mannered and cultured, and he almost couldn't help but swear.

but
Before he figured out what Zhu Gaoxu said, he didn't dare to swear or curse, for fear of irritating this bastard and causing him to confront him head-on.

For this reason, although the Crown Prince was very unhappy and furious, he had to forcibly suppress the anger in his heart that wanted to erupt. This act of pretending and suppressing his emotions made Zhu Gaochi suffocate his breath, and he almost couldn't breathe.

Simultaneously.

He couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart: "Retribution, retribution!"

After all, he was not a fool. How could he not hear the sarcasm and ridicule in Zhu Gaoxu's words?

This move was nothing but naked revenge by the second brother for his attitude just now.

Dele.

You have to swallow the bitter fruit you sowed and the path you chose, even if you have to kneel down to finish it. As for your doubts about Zhu Gaoxu's alarmist remarks?
Give me a break.

The prince is not a fool, so how could he not doubt whether it is true or false?
How is it possible that it is so easy to believe it?

But what can he do if he doubts whether it is true or not?
The problem is, when the second one gives him one, he only says half of the sentence and doesn't say the rest at all.

The key point is to make it impossible for him to judge what is true and what is false.

Although he felt in his heart that the second brother was most likely deliberately taking revenge on him and deliberately saying some alarmist words.

But there is no way to judge whether it is true or false.

He didn't dare to gamble.

How dare I really abandon it?

As the saying goes: Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be safe!
What if?
If the situation that the second brother just described really happened, he would really become a Muggle.

By then, he would really be too embarrassed to go down and meet the ancestors of the Zhu family a hundred years later.

to this end.

There is no way, I have to admit defeat!

Faced with such a situation, who can remain calm?

After a brief silence, Zhu Gaochi simply sorted out his thoughts, with a slightly flattering smile on his face, and hurriedly spoke to comfort him. While defending himself, he tried to soothe Zhu Gaoxu's emotions and coaxed him:
"hey hey"

"Look at what you're saying, old man."

"How is it possible? How is it possible?"

"No, not really."

"Alright, alright, stop being so petty and stop being angry."

"Brother, I was wrong. Is it okay if I was wrong?"

"I will apologize to you and make amends to you."

"Come on, come on, tell me what you meant by what you said just now, why you said that, and why you think it will have such a great impact on future generations and even on our Ming Dynasty."

"Besides, although my brother is the crown prince, it stands to reason that the Ming Dynasty will fall into the hands of my lineage if nothing unexpected happens."

"But second brother, you are still a prince of the Ming Dynasty."

"We are brothers from the same mother."

"Blood relatives, dear relatives, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected!"

"No matter who will rule the Ming Dynasty in the future, I'm sure everyone hopes that the Ming Dynasty will be stable and better, so that everyone can enjoy life comfortably."

"dont you agree"

Seeing and talking at the same time.

The huge body of the prince who was already approaching him quickly, and the fat face full of flesh that was leaning towards him, with a flattering smile on his fat face.

Zhu Gaoxu felt a chill in his heart and almost vomited. Then he subconsciously stood up quickly and took several steps back. At the same time, he stretched out his hands and pushed them forward to stop him. He said urgently:
"Stop. Stop."

"Don't come over, don't come over."

"Let's talk it out nicely. Let's talk it out nicely."

"Don't block it. This look is scary and disgusting."

After hearing this.

Seeing her like this, the prince who was about to get closer couldn't help but stop in his tracks. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his fat face. He raised his hand and shook his head, realizing that something was wrong.

He simply stepped back and returned to his original position, saying with a smile:
"Okay, okay, now is that okay?"

"Can we talk now?"

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him unhappily and said sarcastically:
"Now I know how to be anxious, and I know how to appeal to their emotions and reason with them."

"What did you do early?"

"It's obviously for your own good, but you make it seem like someone is out to harm you. You always want to stand behind me and reap the benefits. You have to make it like this."

"Boss"

"Tell me if you are cheap or not."

In this regard.

Zhu Gaochi didn't say much, just smiled apologetically.

For a moment, the two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird and awkward.

"Hey"

After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu sighed, sorted out his thoughts, pondered for a while, and then said quietly:

"Boss! Boss!"

"Do you know how big this world is?"

"Have you ever heard of a country called 'Falangji' in the west, far across the coast?"

Portuguese?
What is this place?
which country?
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi shook his head subconsciously.

This was the first time he heard these three words.

"The word 'Falangji' is a general term for all the people and countries across the coast in the West."

"They are divided into several countries. Their land is not as vast as our Ming Dynasty's land, their products are not as abundant as our Ming Dynasty's, and their population is far less than the number of Ming Dynasty's people."

"Even so, if our Great Ming were to go up against the Portuguese, or even have a national war, if our Great Ming did not rely on its own land, it would not have any advantages, and it might even be at a disadvantage."

This statement came out.

Zhu Gaochi was startled for nothing, and looked at Zhu Gaoxu who was explaining it with disbelief and astonishment.

What's happening here?
What's the point?
Or is there something else he doesn't know?

The population is not as large as that of the Ming Dynasty, the territory is not as vast as that of the Ming Dynasty, and the resources are not as abundant as that of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming Dynasty confronts it, apart from the advantage of fighting on its home turf, it may not necessarily have the advantage, and may even be at a disadvantage?

"Second child"

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Are you sure you're not exaggerating or making fun of me?"

"It's not because of my opposition and disagreement just now. He deliberately made up the story to scare me, or deliberately made up the story to make me agree to it?"

"How can the Ming Dynasty not be better than the Portuguese? How can the Ming Dynasty not be better than them?"

"Second child"

"Although my brother is on the battlefield, his experience and ability in leading troops in battle are not as good as yours."

"But that doesn't mean I'm stupid."

"From what you said, this is simply impossible. It is impossible for this to happen."

"Don't worry about whether I believe it or not. I'm afraid everyone in the Ming Dynasty will sneer at your words after hearing them!"

"I'm afraid everyone will think you've lost your mind. Why are you talking to yourself here? You're exaggerating and making self-righteous statements!"

After hearing this, I felt the gazes that looked at me like a fool and with disdain.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled without commenting on this, without making any rebuttal, and even less jumping up and down because of it. Instead, he let out a long breath of foul air, pointed at the flintlock rifle that had just been tested to shock people, and his expression suddenly became extremely serious. He replied in a low voice:
"joke?"

"Is this really a joke?"

"Is it really 100% impossible?"

"What if someone else has more powerful firearms and cannons than I do?"

"Faced with firearms and cannons whose power is beyond our imagination, boss, do you really think you have a chance of victory?"

"Or do you really think I'm crazy?"

"I'm playing this so-called retribution with you here, just to vent my unhappiness?" (End of this chapter)
