King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 420 Mutual "Compromise"

Inside the palace.

There was silence.

The air seemed to be condensed.

The Crown Prince and Ji Gang, who had been confident of victory and sang the same tune in an attempt to take advantage of Zhu Gaoxu's weakness, suddenly found that the relationship between the three of them became difficult to attack and defend.

Zhu Gaochi and Ji Gang, who had the upper hand, instantly lost all their advantage.

There is no other reason.

Because Zhu Gaoxu directly cut off the source of their troubles in front of them.

He directly exposed the weaknesses of the two without any hesitation.

It can be said that the two of them were stunned on the spot.

For a moment I had no idea what to do.

Zhu Gaochi and Ji Gang, who had thought that they could achieve certain goals through this, now felt like they were shooting themselves in the foot.

The so-called advantage is a complete illusion.

In an instant, it disappeared.

At the same time, Zhu Gaoxu revealed the secrets of the two.

This also made the two of them feel alarm bells ringing in their hearts, and a sense of fear rose from the bottom of their hearts.

As a result, the two of them cursed in their hearts:
"What kind of power does this bastard hold in his hands?"

"How could they quietly and silently control the secrets that they hid so well and so rigorously?"

"Under such circumstances, do they still have any secrets in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes?"

"It's so terrible!"

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other subconsciously. They were both shocked beyond words by the sudden change and couldn't believe that what they saw was real.

But the reality is before us.

They couldn't help but not believe it.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Zhu Gaochi and Ji Gang both couldn't help but become more and more wary of the King of Han in front of them.

to this end.

Both of them had thought about it in their minds.

Otherwise, Zhu Gaoxu would suffer the loss of those things he mentioned.

He was also unwilling to give up the two captured people easily.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu's words showed his fangs for the two people who were arrested.

From this, we can imagine how important the two arrested people were to Zhu Gaoxu.

Or it can be said that the two arrested people had many unknown things in their hands.

This is also true.

Only then could Zhu Gaoxu do such a thing.

but……

I think so.

But if they really did this, they both felt deeply wary of the matter.

To know.

Zhu Gaoxu could casually say such a secret thing.

God knows whether he knows other more secret things between the two of them.

By then!

Zhu Gaoxu, that bastard, was really pissed off, and he just dumped everything out without caring about anything.

It is true that they could possibly gain something from the two captured people.

Can what they gain match what they lose?

No one has a clue about this issue!

Moreover, when Zhu Gaoxu came to the Jinyiwei to demand someone, there was no doubt that he must have known the identity of the person to be arrested in advance, and naturally he also knew what the two men had.

With Zhu Gaoxu's cautious character, before coming to the Jinyiwei.

He must have given orders to cut off everything related to the two arrested people.

Even if the two arrested people confessed everything and told everything they knew.

Even if they send people over there, how much useful things will be left?

How much can you get?
This is even more uncertain and there is no way to be sure.

to this end.

Betting on an uncertain result with an uncertain answer.

Is it really worth it?
Can the impact and losses caused by this really be borne by the two of them?

after all……

The three of them are together now. Zhu Gaoxu came prepared, while Zhu Gaochi and Ji Gang returned after receiving a message from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

During this period, the two of them had no idea that Zhu Gaoxu was in control of all their secrets, and naturally they had not made any preparations.

The unprepared, and the prepared.

If the two of them clash head-on, in this situation, only extremely lucky can help them.

Otherwise, what are the chances of winning?
Isn't this just like an egg hitting a stone?
Neither Zhu Gaochi nor Ji Gang are fools.

He sees the current situation more clearly than anyone else.

to this end.

The determination to fight to the death that he had finally brought up was completely negated by his own thoughts in an instant, and he was directly dragged into the abyss.

At the same time, I also know what is happening right now.

For the two of them, the opportunity has already been lost.

He was no longer a match for Zhu Gaoxu.

Compared to Zhu Gaochi and Ji Gang who remained silent and had extremely solemn expressions.

At this moment.

Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be more confident, with a confident attitude, a calm expression on his face, and looked at the two people in front of him with an extremely confident smile, and said:

"Master Ji..."

"Boss..."

"What?"

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"Weren't you so angry and mad just now that you sang so happily?"

"Why are you concerned about what I reported?"

"But you two didn't say a word, and you didn't take any action?"

"Isn't what I said and pointed out about the two places right now suspicious?"

"Or……"

"The massive manhunt in Yingtian City has involved too many forces?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's no problem at all."

"No one is available. I will handle this matter for you."

"I will send a message to the generals stationed in the military camps 20 miles away from Yingtian City to lead their troops to assist us immediately."

"To relieve the urgent need for both of you."

"Find out whether the people hiding in the two places I mentioned just now are good people or bad people with ulterior motives."

Say it.

He ignored the two people in front of him and turned to the closed door and shouted:

"Somebody come!"

moment.

The tightly closed door was pushed open, and Zhu Gaoxu's accompanying guard walked in, bowed respectfully, and asked:

"My lord, what are your orders?"

The words just fell!

Zhu Gaochi and Ji Gang, who were originally in a daze, suddenly shook their bodies, pulling their wandering thoughts back.

A trace of panic flashed across their faces, and then they suddenly turned back to look at Zhu Gaoxu who was about to give an order, and said urgently:

"and many more……"

"Second brother, second brother...wait a minute."

While talking.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the guards standing at the door, waiting for orders, and shouted at them:

"Bastard thing."

"Get out of here!"

"Who let you in?"

"Can't you see we are discussing something?"

"How can you have a say?"

"Get out of here."

"go out!!"

The sudden scolding stunned the guards who were standing at the door waiting for orders.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Zhu Gaochi blankly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

However, he thought about the identity of the person who was scolding him.

Although the guards were unhappy, they did not dare to say anything or show it in the slightest.

Although the guards did not answer, they did not obey Zhu Gaochi's order to leave.

Instead, he slowly raised his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting not far away, leisurely enjoying a cup of hot tea, waiting for his orders to be carried out.

After all, although the prince is of noble status, he is not the real master of the guards.

He could respect it and say nothing.

But that doesn't mean he has to obey his orders.

As a servant and guard, he knew his position very well.

Given their status, if they really have to obey orders from others and not their master, then they will be very close to death.

Feeling the guard's inquiring gaze, Zhu Gaoxu slowly put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at Zhu Gaochi with interest. Zhu Gaochi, who could not hold back his anger, remained expressionless and said with a smile, "Boss..."

"What do you mean?"

"Why are you mad at others?"

"No, others are just following my orders to enter."

"Is it necessary to be so angry?"

"As the saying goes: Anger is harmful to the body!"

"Don't be angry!"

Faced with the teasing, Zhu Gaochi glared at him indifferently.

No?

Look, are you sure this is human language?
You are not in a hurry.

If you had the ability, you wouldn't do this. Why would I lose my composure like this?
Who really thinks like this, like a madman?
Please!

He has always been gentle and looks like a humble scholar, right?

But it becomes clear when you think about it.

As the saying goes: If you do well on the first day, others may do well on the fifteenth.

The way of heaven is reincarnation, who has heaven spared?
This is not!

This is definitely retribution!

on this matter.

If you really look into it, it really can't be blamed on Zhu Gaoxu.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can guess that although the two arrested persons have important identities, they were arrested for what they had done.

No need to think!
It must have been because of his son Zhu Zhanji's affairs that he was accidentally dragged into the vortex, and was arrested because he failed to retreat in time.

Logically speaking, both of them had done him a favor.

But at this moment.

He was indeed a bit unkind in trying to keep the two people who helped him.

Reached a certain degree of cooperation with Ji Gang.

In this matter, he was the one who kicked someone when he was down and turned his kindness into enmity.

to this end.

After a brief pause, Zhu Gaochi suppressed his annoyance and smiled awkwardly, saying:
"Don't be angry, don't be angry!"

"Second brother, I don't mean that."

"calm down!"

As he spoke, he set his eyes on the guard at the door again and continued:

"Second brother, let him go out first!"

"We can discuss anything, we can discuss it."

"There's no need to make it like this, right?"

"is not it?"

After hearing this.

"puff……"

Zhu Gaoxu sneered, half-closed his eyes and looked around at the two of them coldly, and said in a deep voice:
"Is it because I don't want to speak nicely?"

"Or do I want to make everyone look bad and embarrassed?"

"Aren't some people self-righteous?"

"Are you trying to repay kindness with enmity and add insult to injury?"

"What?"

"Now it's my fault, it's my mistake?"

"Interesting, interesting!!"

"Boss..."

"Master Ji..."

"Tell me, when we are human beings and when we do things, can we have some shame?"

"Don't always blame others for what you have done?"

"Is it okay to put the blame on others for everything?"

"What do you think?"

Having said that.

He used extremely harsh words to humiliate, ridicule and scold the two of them.

but.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't really give the order.

In other words, he really put into action the threats he made at the beginning.

After that, he turned to the guards waiting at the door and waved his hand:

"never mind!"

"Go down!"

Order received.

The guard no longer stood there in a daze. He turned around without hesitation and walked out with big strides.

Wait until the guards leave.

The open door closed again. Ji Gang and Zhu Gaochi in the room couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Their hearts, which had been hanging in the air, finally calmed down at this moment. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts:

"so far so good!"

"Things didn't go as they feared."

"Zhu Gaoxu is still willing to discuss."

"It's not a fight to the bitter end."

"There is still room for maneuver in everything."

Thinking of this, the two of them subconsciously reached out to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Afterwards, Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment and spoke first:

"Second!"

"How about we just leave it at that?"

"You can take your people away by yourself. We won't stop you."

"And those two places are the places you mentioned."

"Just pretend nothing happened, how about that?"

Say it.

Zhu Gaochi turned to look at Ji Gang who was standing beside him and asked:

"Master Ji..."

"What do you think of my proposal?"

"Any objection?"

This is a good question.

Ji Gang's expression changed involuntarily and he almost burst into a curse.

objection?

That's how it is.

How dare he have any objection?
Someone else has got hold of your secrets.

Each of them has something on the other.

What can he do?
What objection can you have?
He is not a stubborn person, nor does he not know the seriousness of the matter.

Is it really true that we will fight to the death with others over this matter?
As for Zhu Gaoxu's identity.

Not to mention the fish is dead and the net is broken, Ji Gang doesn't have that ability yet.

At most, the fish will die, but Zhu Gaoxu's net will definitely not be broken.

After all, he is a prince of the Ming Dynasty.

What was Emperor Yongle most taboo about? As a close minister to the crown prince, how could he not know?
And with Zhu Gaoxu's means, God knows how much he has mastered that can kill him?

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to fight to the end on this matter.

The wisest approach is to be able to make big things small and small things disappear.

Then, Ji Gang replied without any hesitation:

"No, no, no... I don't have any objections."

"Everything is subject to the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Han."

Get a definite answer.

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu who was still indifferent and had not uttered a word, Zhu Gaochi said:
"Second brother..."

"Okay, please give me a definite answer!"

"Why are you so silent and indifferent all the time?"

Seeing two people who looked a little nervous.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the two of them in a very unpleasant way, then slowly stood up from his chair and sneered, "Haha":

"Humph……"
