King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

In this regard.

Zhu Gaoxu snorted, half-closed his eyes and looked around at the two of them, and said sarcastically:

"Set up a drink and admit your mistake?"

"It sounds good, but I'm afraid some people will be reluctant to add something else to their drinks, which would be awkward."

Although he said this, there was sarcasm in his words.

But they were not fools, and they could naturally feel from Zhu Gaoxu's words that his anger was gradually dissipating, and he was no longer holding on to that matter.

"No, no"

"How is this possible? The Third Brother would never do such a wicked thing."

"We are all brothers, aren't we?"

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi's smile became more confident. He turned to look at Zhu Gaosui who was still in a daze and reminded him:

"Lao San"

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Why don't you speak up and say something nice?"

"How come I need to teach you how to speak word by word?"

While speaking, Zhu Gaochi frantically winked at Zhu Gaosui who was standing not far away, asking him to control his temper, not to be stubborn about this matter, and not to make things worse.

Although Zhu Gaoxu's words were slanderous, he was deliberately trying to disgust him.

but
Having known certain things, he also knew that he was being indiscriminate. Naturally, he was not an tactless person, nor was he one to stand being disgusted by other people's words. For this reason, he did not make a big fuss over the matter again, making everyone lose face.

Then, Zhu Gaosui simply sorted out his thoughts, walked forward with a smile on his face, put his hand on Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder, and said hurriedly:
"Okay, okay."

"Second child"

"I know I was wrong. I will have a drink tonight to make amends to you."

"It just so happens that I have been away from Yingtian Prefecture for nearly a month. We brothers haven't gathered for a long time. It's a good opportunity for us to get together and have a good time. Let's put today's matter behind us!"

"OK?"

"My dear brother, can you please do me a favor?"

Feeling the big hand falling on his shoulder and the hot breath spraying on his face, Zhu Gaoxu was disgusted to death. He patted his arm and turned sideways to distance himself from him.

Although he did so, others had almost put the steps at his feet, and they were all so humble. Zhu Gaoxu was naturally not an ungrateful person, and he knew that there was no need to make everyone look bad. He snorted and said with a hint of arrogance:

"Okay!"

"Since you are so sincere, Third Brother."

“I’m not an ungrateful person.”

"Then let's do as you and the boss say."

Say it.

Although Zhu Gaoxu stepped down, it didn't mean that his anger had completely disappeared. He still felt a little uncomfortable with Zhu Gaosui. Naturally, he didn't want to stay here any longer. He waved at the two of them and left in big strides.

call.
When Zhu Gaoxu left, the originally depressing atmosphere in the scene suddenly dissipated a lot.

That's it.

After a long while, Zhu Gaosui withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the prince beside him. His expression suddenly darkened, and his attitude was completely different from his previous flattering appearance. A hint of coldness and gloom flashed in his half-closed eyes, and he said in a deep voice:

"Boss?"

"What the hell is this, Lao Er?"

"What does he want to do?"

"You're using chicken feathers as sharp arrows. Now your temper is getting worse and worse."

"It's just a temporary power of regent, but I feel his temper and power are even greater than you, the prince. He doesn't even give you face, and actually asks you to bow your head and give him a way out. What does he want to do?"

"Boss"

"You're just going to watch like this?"

"With this attitude and this behavior, can you really tolerate it?"

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of coldness appeared on the corners of his slightly raised mouth, and he continued:
"Based on his behavior, does he really think he is the emperor?"

"If this continues, Boss"

"Who in the whole court doesn't know about the second brother's little tricks?"

"Are you really not afraid that one day he..."

Speaking of it.

Zhu Gaosui shut up at the right time, then looked at the prince meaningfully, winking at him from time to time.

In this regard.

We are not fools, everyone is very shrewd.

Although Zhu Gaosui did not finish his words, everyone knew clearly what he meant by the words that followed.

After hearing this.

Zhu Gaochi did not immediately express his attitude, but looked at him with a half-smile and said:
"Old Three, what do you mean?"

“Why don’t I understand this?”

"How about you tell me about this in detail, or leave the other half?"

Zhu Gaosui was stunned for a moment, and his half-closed eyes suddenly opened, as if he had heard something unbelievable, and his eyes subconsciously looked straight over.

After a while.

He reacted instantly. Did he try to poke the tiger's whiskers and not move them? Then he felt that the prince was staring at him like a curious baby. He unconsciously retracted his gaze and did not dare to meet his gaze.

"Me me me"

"What can I mean? It's just what I said."

"I don't understand. Think about it slowly."

"I don't know anything else. It could be that I was just mad and said some angry words or nonsense."

"Don't take it seriously, Boss."

"Hehe." Zhu Gaochi sneered when he heard this, and stared meaningfully at Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, who was hesitating and pretending to speak, with half-closed eyes for a long time.

This third brother, this King Zhao!

It’s true that a dog can’t change its habit of eating shit.

He always likes to stir up trouble behind people's backs. He is simply a person who never forgets a punishment. Something like this happened just now and he almost angered the second brother. After he finally coaxed the second brother into calm down, he turned around and flirted with him, even teasing his whiskers, trying to use him as a gun.

This bastard.
He is a real troublemaker. On the surface, he seems to be close to the second brother, but in fact, he has his own plans in mind. He often makes troubles to sow discord and stab others in the back.

Do it under certain means.

Even Zhu Gaochi thought he was shameless enough.

But compared with Zhu Gaosui's behavior, it is really a small matter. In a sense, he is really not as shameless as the other.

After a brief silence, Zhu Gaochi retracted his cold and stern aura, slowly walked up to Zhu Gaosui, reached out and gently patted his shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"Lao San"

"Put away your self-righteous little thoughts."

"You are not a fool, I am not a fool, and the second one is not a fool."

"Know when to stop. Everything is better in moderation. If you exceed certain limits, the consequences will be no joke."

"You always want to sit back and relax, always want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, trying to reap the benefits of being a fisherman." "But please remember that what you think is only what you think."

"Who is the fisherman and who is the oriole? Who can guarantee it 100%?"

"You are so self-righteous, just like today, you messed up and got into trouble. Isn't it embarrassing?"

"Think about it carefully!!"

"If these words get to the ears of the second brother, he will be so vindictive. Third brother! Third brother! Add to that what happened today, if the second brother really gets angry, are you sure you can handle it?"

This statement came out.

Zhu Gaosui's face became extremely ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye. He shuddered unconsciously and waved his hands quickly, saying:
"Hey hey..."

"Boss, Boss... No, no, no, please don't!"

"I'm doing this, I'm doing this, isn't this for your own good?"

"Isn't this anxious and worrying about you?"

"How could you do this? You can't sell me out!"

"Okay, okay..."

"It's my fault, it's my fault, I have a foul mouth, a foul mouth, I talk too much, can I stop talking?"

"Hehe..." Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi sneered and glanced at him coldly:
"For my own good?"

"Old Third, are you really doing this for my own good?"

"Do you really think I'm stupid?"

"Or do I look stupid?"

"but……"

Having said this, Zhu Gaochi paused, his face became restrained, and continued:

"I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said today."

"But I hope... I don't want to hear such words again."

"Do you understand?"

"If this happens again, it won't just be the second brother who gets mad!!"

"besides……"

"Don't think that you have suffered a great loss or lost face by admitting your mistake today."

"Let me tell you, if you don't admit your mistake, you will really suffer a great loss."

Then, he turned around and pointed at the warships that were nearby, and sneered:

"I'm not afraid to tell you."

"The powerful weapons that Lao Er has handled are not just this thing in front of us."

Zhu Gaosui: "????"

Ok?
What the hell? What does it mean?
No, could it be that there is something else involved?
He has only been away for about a month. What exactly happened in Yingtianfu City?

How many things had happened that he didn't know about?

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaosui's expression changed slightly, he looked over with surprise and said:

"Boss?"

"No, what do you mean?"

"What the hell happened?"

"Is there anything else I don't know?"

"Tell me about it, tell me about it!!"

"hurry up."

Seeing Zhu Gaosui looking like a curious baby.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at him with a smile, and did not hide anything about certain things. After all, there were some things that he would eventually know, it was just a matter of time.

Then, he told the story of the flintlock rifle without any details.

This is said.

Zhu Gaosui was stunned by what he heard. He looked over with an expression of disbelief, and there was a hint of uncertainty in his words:
"Boss?"

"Are you sure what you said is true?"

"How is this possible?"

"With just such a small change, can we make something so novel and so powerful?"

"From the time of Taizu to now, so many years have passed, and so many generations of craftsmen have not been able to accomplish this. However, the second brother has brought about such earth-shaking changes in just a few months of taking over."

"Boss, are you sure you're not kidding me?"

"Is it really that simple?"

After hearing this.

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi's complexion changed slightly, and his expression became gloomy. He couldn't help but recall that Zhu Gaoxu had been so ruthless before. He ignored all objections and resisted everyone's attacks to deal with a group of officials in the weapons workshop. He also advocated that experts should manage experts and rejected outsiders who were involved in management and gave blind orders, tried to take credit, and were only responsible for the role of assisting him.

And it was also with the help of this opportunity that he gave the craftsmen in the weapons workshop enough respect and autonomy, and even increased their treatment several times. For this purpose, he did not hesitate to confront the Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji and the Minister of Works Song Li.

This kind of behavior offended almost everyone in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works.

to this end.

At that time, he was watching the show from the side, thinking that the second brother was just looking for trouble and that this move would not be worth the loss. Even he thought that Zhu Gaoxu's behavior was purely nonsense and was just a way to gain a good reputation.

But after personally participating in the testing of the flintlock rifle and witnessing the power of the flintlock rifle.

While Zhu Gaochi was shocked by its performance and power, he also felt ridiculous for his own naive thoughts. He felt that he was sitting in a well and looking down on the abilities of the people and craftsmen.

This incident made him ponder and reflect on himself late at night for a long time.

This is also true.

After seeing such a magnificent warship and witnessing the shocking scene of the cannons firing just now, although he was shocked, he also felt that everything was just as it should be.

Sometimes, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh.

Lao Er is a bastard. Many of the things he does are difficult to understand, or even incomprehensible, and no one knows what he is up to. But as time goes by, when everything is on the right track, the benefits and amazing results are brought about.

But it can give a loud slap in the face to those who once opposed it.

"Boss"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"I am asking you a question."

"Are you listening or not? You keep giggling and laughing like a fool. What's going on? What does this mean?"

Just when Zhu Gaochi was in a daze, he heard Zhu Gaosui's urgent call again, which directly pulled Zhu Gaochi's drifting thoughts back. Then he smiled awkwardly at Zhu Gaosui, stretched out his hand to scratch his head, and said:
"Hey, sorry, I got distracted."

"but."

"Third brother, do you think I would lie to you about something like this?"

"If this is a clumsy lie, how long do you think it can deceive you?"

“You don’t have to doubt whether it’s true or false, yes or no.”

"If you still don't believe it, why don't you go to the weapons workshop and take a look yourself and you will know for sure?"

"But, this secret weapon is currently kept secret, so I don't need to tell you what to do, right?" (End of this chapter)
