King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Palace city, Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After retreating from the court.

When they arrived, all the civil and military officials left, leaving only the three brothers Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui in the hall.

Then, Zhu Gaosui's joking voice was heard at a very inappropriate time, breaking the silence at the scene.

"Second child"

"It must be said that you are really ruthless and sinister. No one can be as ruthless as you. You hit these people right in the guts right away."

"These civil officials were so eloquent and righteous just now that if you don't know them, you would think they were the reincarnation of Buddha."

"result."

"When it comes to the death of my friend or the death of me, I will go to hell, or you will go to hell."

"In these two choices, I made the choice to let others die."

"It's really ironic. I feel anxious for them even though they overturned their own righteousness."

As he spoke, he looked at the silent Prince Ye and sneered:

"Boss! Boss!"

"Look. Take a good look."

"These are the civil officials who support you one by one. Can this be called support? Can you call them the princeling party? What the hell are they? What the hell are they?"

"When we made the bet last night, you refused to admit it and refused to believe it."

"What did you see and hear in the court today?"

"Does it slap your face?"

"Did I do exactly what the Second Brother expected last night?"

"They are all profit-seeking. What support? When it comes to interests and reputation, they run away faster than a rabbit seeing an eagle."

"They all say they are well-read, but they are just reading books. If you want to root out the weeds, those who are not of our race must have different hearts. They don't understand this principle."

"Don't you often call us military commanders stinky soldiers and rough men?"

"How come you don't see this issue as clearly as we, the stinky soldiers?"

After hearing this.

The prince, who had been full of energy and had a calm expression, suddenly sat upright on the ground with a decadent look, staring ahead with lifeless eyes.

For a long time, he has been adhering to the policy of benevolent governance, with the literati and the emperor governing together to achieve the great harmony.

However, with the changes in Zhu Gaoxu during this period, as well as his experience of the struggle between Zhu Gaoxu and the civil officials, and watching the ugly appearance of the civil officials in the struggle, Zhu Gaochi's original dream of governing the world was unknowingly shattered.

Especially today, with the confrontation between the civil officials and the military generals, the support for him, a participant from beginning to end, made him deeply moved!
And he couldn't help but think of what would happen last night when the three brothers drank and talked about the past, and made a bet on the outcome of the civil and military officials in the court today.

At that time, Zhu Gaochi had no scruples in belittling and bullying the civil officials, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.

He was very dissatisfied about this.

I think the two are just alarmist and self-righteous.

Regarding this matter, he argued with reason and cleared the name of the civil officials, and as a result, the three brothers almost parted on bad terms.

结果
He never dreamed of it.

The person he tried so hard to defend last night, the person he thought would definitely support him.

However, he was given a loud slap in the face in the court, which turned his originally hot heart cold.

If it wasn't for the sake of maintaining his own image, Zhu Gaochi really wanted to give those bastards a good scolding in the court before, curse their ancestors, and ask them if this was how they repaid his kindness?

Recently.

Zhu Gaoxu's actions were like a pair of giant hands that tore apart the image that the civil officials maintained in front of him and the fig leaf they wore on their faces, and laid out the ugliness of each civil official, the ugliness of their individual nature, and their selfishness, in front of him.

What is benevolent governance of the world?

What about the scholars and officials ruling the world together?

It's all bullshit.

It’s all about interests. Everything is about interests.

Those who supported him were only doing it for their own interests from the very beginning.

The so-called support is nothing more than an attempt to gain more benefits.

Once the interests of these bastards are touched, the so-called support and the so-called overall situation are all empty talk. No one is willing and no one will give up.

Only want to benefit, know how to grab benefits.

Other
It's not even within the consideration of these people.

The so-called benevolent government is only for these civil officials and scholar-officials.

The lower class people?
Just look at how these civil officials treat the crown prince. How can he expect them to be kind to the people and implement benevolent policies?

is it possible?
Who would believe it if I told them?
Even if others believed it, Zhu Gaochi absolutely no longer believed it at this moment.

Ok!

When benevolent policies are implemented, officials will enjoy the benefits.

There has been no change in people's lives. They still have to work day and night, and there is a high possibility that they will not have enough food or warm clothes.

Arouse public indignation and outrage.

at last.
Who is this person taking the blame?

Zhu Gaochi was not a fool. There was no doubt that he was the emperor or a member of the royal family.

It seems that all these people are the ones who take the blame for those officials who pretend to obey and say one thing in front of you and another behind your back.

For a moment, Zhu Gaochi even wanted to chop these selfish bastards, who only knew how to gain benefits for themselves, to pieces, and cut open their chests to see what kind of people they were.

Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxu, who were standing nearby, were really frightened when they saw the crown prince suddenly fall to the ground.

In particular, Zhu Gaosui, who was still making sarcastic remarks.

In an instant.

The two of them approached quickly, came in front of the prince, and quickly squatted down to check on Zhu Gaochi's physical condition, and then shouted angrily at the outside of the door:
"Here comes someone."

"Someone, come quickly."

"Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician!!!"

Suddenly, the prince, whose eyes were dull, came to his senses, grabbed the hands of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, and turned to the outside and shouted:
"return!!"

"No, no need to call the imperial physician."

See this situation.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at the Crown Prince sitting on the ground with a look of doubt and uncertainty, with a hint of uneasiness and worry in their expressions, and said:
"no."

"Boss, what's going on with you?"

"Really, we don't need to call the imperial physician to take a look at you?"

"let me tell you."

"You can't joke about your body. You absolutely can't joke about it."

"you."

The words have not yet fallen.

Zhu Gaochi raised his chubby hand and waved it, saying in a deep voice:
"okay."

"My own body, how can I not know it?"

"No problem, really no problem."

As he spoke, looking at the two people staring at him with suspicion and doubt, Zhu Gaochi showed a trace of embarrassment on his chubby face. He scratched his head and smiled:

"It's okay, it's really okay."

"I'm just mad at you. I'm mad at you. Is that ok? Are you satisfied?"

As soon as he said this.

Zhu Gaoxu: "!!!!!!"

Zhu Gaosui: "????"

To be honest, the two of them never dreamed that the answer would be like this.

For a moment, neither of them knew what to say. Smile! I don't think it's good.

Don't laugh! The two of them really couldn't help themselves.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Finally, the two of them couldn't help but pointed at Zhu Gaochi who was sitting on the ground and laughed crazily, then teased:
"no."

"Boss, are you serious? Are you telling the truth?"

"Can this really make you angry?"

"Why are we both a little bit unconvinced?"

"It seems a little unscientific!"

As he spoke, Zhu Gaosui reached out and moved Zhu Pangpang's big head over, grinning and saying:

"Come, come, come"

"Boss, let me take a good look at you."

"For so many years, even when my second brother and I were teasing you when we were little, I never saw you get so angry."

"Today is the first time in history that a young lady has gotten into a sedan chair, and you said it yourself."

"no."

"I must take a good look at it."

Hearing the teasing and seeing Zhu Gaosui's lack of sense of boundaries, Zhu Gaochi became even more furious. He raised his hands and fiercely slapped the hands on his face, then scolded with a gloomy face:

"Bastard thing."

"Lao San"

"Did you do this on purpose?"

"You still think I'm not angry enough? You still think I'm angry enough. Do you really want to piss me off to death?"

"I'm telling you, don't mess with me."

Having said this, he paused, glared at Zhu Gaosui meaningfully, then looked at Zhu Gaoxu beside him, and said with a half-smile:
"Lao San"

"You said that if I tell you what happened that day."

"Are you sure you can still laugh?"

"Would you like to give it a try?"

This statement came out.

Zhu Gaosui, who originally had a playful and cynical look on his face, was stunned for a moment, and his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He is not a fool.

Naturally, I knew what Zhu Gaochi meant, or what he wanted to say.

no doubt.

It must have been those words he said in the shipyard that day, after Zhu Gaoxu left and left the two brothers alone, slandering Zhu Gaoxu and trying to sow discord between them.

It was these words that made Zhu Gaosui afraid.

Have no idea!

Just those words, no one speaks out loud.

There is definitely no problem, but once it is revealed.

If Zhu Gaoxu found out about this and he continued to stir up trouble behind his back, given Zhu Gaoxu's character and skills, he would never let him off easily and would be punished again.

for him.

In a sense, he would rather face the boss and be schemed against by him.

Zhu Gaosui was truly unwilling and did not dare to face Zhu Gaoxu's calculations.

There is no other reason.

Zhu Gaochi had a bottom line when doing things. He would not go too far in some things and generally would not do anything that crossed the bottom line.

But Zhu Gaoxu is completely different. This bastard has a very low bottom line. No, to be more precise, this guy has no bottom line at all. He has done things that broke his bottom line countless times over the years.

We all grew up together, wearing open-crotch pants.

so.
That's why he is so afraid.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Gaosui came to his senses, waved his hands and admitted his mistake:
"Boss"

"Hey, hey, don't!"

"You are my dear elder brother, my dear brother!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay."

"It's all my fault for being foul-mouthed. I'm foul-mouthed. Don't bother with me. I won't say any more, okay?"

While speaking, he looked at Zhu Gaochi with a pleading face, then obediently stepped aside and put away his playful expression.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing nearby, saw the two people playing dumb, and his eyes narrowed. He understood instantly and could probably guess what the two were talking about. Finally, he looked at Zhu Gaosui unkindly and said in a cold voice with a smile:

"The third one?"

"You bastard, are you saying bad things about me behind my back again?"

"Are you fanning the dark wind and lighting the will-o'-the-wisp fire again?"

"Asshole. Explain it to me."

"You are such a jerk who doesn't remember the punishment for eating chickens. Have I been too kind to you recently?"

"Or maybe your skin is itchy again and you need me to loosen up your muscles?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaosui's face turned pale instantly. He looked at Zhu Gaoxu with some understanding, then lowered his head quickly, not daring to look him in the eye. Then he quickly waved his hand and denied it:

“No, no, no”

"Really not, really not."

"Second brother, you can't just accuse someone wrongly."

"You are my dearest friend, my brother, don't you know who I am?"

"How could I possibly do something like that?"

"It is absolutely impossible. Absolutely impossible."

"Second brother, you really can't slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

While speaking, Zhu Gaosui subconsciously took several steps back, bowed his body slightly, and made a gesture as if he was ready to escape at any time. He looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a vigilant look, and then looked at Zhu Gaochi for help, and said hurriedly:
"Boss"

"Boss, hurry up, say something!"

"Help me explain it to the second brother, explain it to him!"

See this situation.

Zhu Gaochi did not sit back and watch the fight, he immediately spoke to smooth things over, waving his hand and saying:
"Okay, okay!"

"The second one is almost done."

"Don't scare the third brother."

"That's just the way the third brother behaves. We've been brothers for so many years, you know what kind of person he is and what his personality is like. Why would you bother with him?"

Say it.

Zhu Gaochi narrowed his eyes, his expression suddenly became serious, he turned his head and looked straight at Zhu Gaoxu, and said in a deep voice:

"Second child"

"With all that you said, are these civil officials really hopeless?"

"Or is this the real reason why you like military commanders?"

"As for these supporting generals, do you and the third brother really trust them that much?"

"To know"

"As the saying goes: It is difficult for a scholar to succeed in a rebellion!"

"If it's a military commander, Second Brother and Third Brother, have you ever thought about the threat that would be posed if the military commander became powerful and had ulterior motives?"

"Have you ever thought about it?" (End of this chapter)
