King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

The palace of the King of Han.

During the two quiet days, the setting sun brought up halos of light.

In the pavilion.

Zhu Gaoxu and Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui sat opposite each other, sipping hot tea from their cups from time to time. Neither of them spoke, but the heavy breathing sounds that could be heard from time to time indicated that the two men, who seemed calm at the moment, were not calm at all in their hearts.

That's it.

After a long time, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was the first to become restless. He half-closed his eyes and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at him with interest, then said jokingly, "I'm not a good person, but I'm a good person, but I'm a good person, and ...
“Oh.”

"Our fearless Prince Zhao, what on earth happened today?"

"Does it make you so uneasy, like a little girl?"

"Come, come, come"

"Let's have some fun."

Zhu Gaosui: “!!!!!!”

What the hell? Little girl attitude?
Can you speak?
You can't speak, can you please not speak? Once you open your mouth, you make people feel disgusted. He seemed to have thought of something and shuddered subconsciously.

Then, after a brief pause, Zhu Gaosui simply stopped pretending, frowned and pondered for a moment, then spoke carefully:

"Second child"

"Were all the things you said in the Hall of Supreme Harmony true?"

Zhu Gaoxu looked over with a joking look on his face when he heard this, and couldn't help but continue to tease:
"What's not true?"

"No way! Third brother"

"I said so many things in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today. Which one are you asking about?"

"How about you give me a heads up?"

Hearing this, how could Zhu Gaosui not hear the deliberateness in the words? Although he felt very unhappy and wanted to scold the other party viciously and was unwilling to indulge the other party, just when he was about to lose his temper, he could not help but think of the pie in the sky that Zhu Gaoxu had painted for him in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It was so beautiful that it could be said to have hooked his soul.

Then, although he was very unhappy about this, he had to suppress the restless emotions in his heart, put on a flattering smile on his face, and said happily:

"What else can you say?"

"Of course it's about what you said before, after we conquer the Japanese mainland and conduct experiments."

"You will find the old man and explain the situation."

"Let the old man give his approval, and we two brothers will leave the Ming territory and create unprecedented achievements outside!"

"Is this true?"

"Will the old man really agree?"

"Is it really possible to achieve what you said?"

"Second child"

"My dear brother! Let's not beat around the bush and keep my brother in suspense. I'm so itchy because of what you said!"

"If you don't explain this matter clearly, how can I, a general on an expedition to Japan, have any mood?"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be out of my mind. Can you bear to see me like this?"

"Come on, let's stop beating around the bush and have fun with our brother, okay?"

As he spoke, Zhu Gaosui looked over with a resentful look on his face. His eyes and expression were filled with endless desire. He wished he could reach out and pry open Zhu Gaoxu's mouth so that he could quickly give him a definite answer.

See this situation.

Zhu Gaoxu naturally put away his teasing intention, and his expression suddenly became solemn. He subconsciously squinted his eyes and looked around, shook his head slightly, and nodded and replied:

"Lao San"

"That's true, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's indeed the original idea in my mind."

"you know too."

"As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. The territory of Daimyo can only allow one emperor to exist."

"But as a man, who doesn't want to achieve unparalleled achievements, ascend to the supreme position in the world, and leave a glorious name and a profound legacy in history?"

“Everyone has ideas and everyone has drive.”

"But you also know how the old man got his position. You should also know that he hates fighting among his own family and killing his brothers the most."

"But there is absolutely no way to reconcile conflicts of interest. For this reason, in order not to embarrass the old man, I came up with this solution."

"This can easily resolve the situation where we and the boss's family are fighting for a position and the situation becomes bloody and life-and-death."

"but."

"I mentioned this to the old man last time, but he didn't give me a clear answer."

"So, all of this is just my wishful thinking at this stage."

"Of course I also believe that when the time comes, the old man is not a fool and he will not object to this issue."

"We should be given the same power."

Get a definite answer.

Zhu Gaosui, who had been staring at it eagerly for a long time, could no longer hold back his excitement and joy. He suddenly jumped up from his chair, his expression filled with endless excitement, and he spoke incoherently:
"Hahaha"

"That's great! That's great, that's great."

As he spoke, he rushed to Zhu Gaoxu's position, grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder, and continued:

"Second brother! Second child!"

"You are indeed the one, you are indeed the one."

"You have the best brain!"

"It's amazing that you can come up with such a solution to this problem."

"I really don't know what to say. I really don't know how to describe it."

"Don't worry, don't worry, second brother. From now on, we will definitely follow your lead."

"If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to beat a dog, I will never chase a chicken."

Seeing Prince Zhao standing so close to him, with his big face that was about to burst with laughter and his mouth full of saliva, Zhu Gaoxu felt so sick that he fell backwards and struggled to break free from Prince Zhao's hands.

“Go, go, go”

"Stay away from me, stay away from me."

"You bastard, just speak properly. Look at your spit, it's almost covering my face."

"Why are you so disgusting?"

"Are you thanking me or are you taking this opportunity to disgust me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaosui also instantly realized his own loss of composure, and subconsciously took a few steps back. He couldn't help but scratch his head, revealing an extremely embarrassed smile on his face, and waved his hand, saying:

"hey-hey."

"It was a mistake, a mistake, it was really a mistake, it was definitely not intentional."

"Look, look, isn't this caused by excitement? Isn't it?"

"Hahaha"

In this regard.

Zhu Gaoxu glared at him with disdain, as if he had thought of something, and asked:

"no?"

"Old Third, what did you mean by what you said just now?"

"What do you mean by follow my lead from now on? It seems that you have been fooling me before, or you are betting on both me and the boss, and you will side with whoever has a greater chance of winning?"

"Does it mean this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally excited Zhu Gaosui was stunned on the spot, his cheeks slightly flushed, and his already extremely embarrassed expression became even more embarrassed at this moment.

For a moment I had no idea how to answer this question.

Have no idea!

Who told me to get so excited that I spoke out my deepest thoughts?

How to answer, how can he answer?

The answer is?
God knows what the second brother will think of him.

The answer is no!
Will the second brother really believe it?
In the current situation, thinking about the words he had just said in excitement, he really wanted to slap himself a few times and curse himself harshly.

Dele.

Now, he spoke without restraint and ended up freezing himself on the spot.

Either the floor was solid, or he didn't have the ability to do so, he would have almost dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment at this moment.

Feeling the gaze that had been falling on him without weakening in the slightest, Zhu Gaosui hesitated for a moment, forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and hurriedly said with a smile:
"no no no"

"How can this be possible? How can this be possible!"

"I'm not excited, am I?"

"You speak incoherently and your words are incoherent."

"Among the three of us, we have the best relationship. How could I do such a thing? How could I have such an idea?"

"The conscience of heaven and earth."

"Besides, everyone in the court knows that I am a member of the Hanwang Party."

"Am I right?"

This explanation.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't believe a single word of it from the bottom of his heart.

Look at the third child in front of us. We grew up together. Who doesn’t know who is what kind of person?

Moreover.
According to orthodox historical records, Zhu Gaoxu remembered it very clearly. He and Zhu Gaosui had a terrible relationship. In the end, Zhu Gaoxu's family was destroyed, but this bastard who jumped up and down the most happily actually had a good end in the true sense.

So, if you say that this bastard is a true member of the Han Wang Party and is very loyal to him, or if he is betting on both sides and will side with whoever has a greater chance of winning, Zhu Gaoxu would never believe it, even if you kill him.

Knowing is one thing, though.

After all, the incident had not happened yet. Besides, he was not the foolish and trusting Zhu Gaoxu in history. Naturally, he had taken precautions against Zhu Gaosui early on.

How could I possibly be fooled by this bastard again?

Regarding this issue.

Zhu Gaoxu was too lazy to argue with him. After glancing at him meaningfully, he waved his hand slightly and said:

"okay!"

"I don't want to pursue the past, nor do I want to ask more questions."

"But from now on, you really should think carefully about this issue, Third Brother."

"What kind of person do you want to be and what kind of benefits do you want to gain."

"besides."

Having said this, Zhu Gaoxu paused, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he suddenly changed the subject and continued:
"The problem I mentioned before was not 100% successful."

"I'm just afraid that there will be an obstacle in the way, preventing us from taking that path."

This statement came out.

Zhu Gaosui, who was originally a little embarrassed, suddenly looked gloomy and serious. He subconsciously said:

"Who?"

"Old man?"

"Didn't you say you could convince the old man?"

"Didn't you say that the old man would definitely agree?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head slightly, his pupils shrank, and he said in a deep voice:
"No, no, it's not the old man."

"The problem I mentioned before is actually easy to solve with the old man. He is not someone who can really hinder us."

"The people who could really become an obstacle to us are the people from the Eastern Palace."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaosui was stunned. He stood there in a daze, with a look of disbelief on his face. He looked at Zhu Gaoxu in astonishment and exclaimed:

"what???"

"How is this possible?"

"We two left the territory of the Ming Dynasty and did not compete with them father and son for the Ming Dynasty. We let them sit on the throne in peace and security. Aren't they still not satisfied?"

"Shouldn't they, father and son, give their full approval to this matter?"

"Why would you try to stop us?"

"Are they crazy?"

"To stop us, do they really want to fight with us two brothers? If we two join forces, can they really get even a little benefit? By then, the country will be shattered, and even if they win, what's the point?"

"You're crazy!"

"Any normal person would never do that."

"Second brother, you may have made a mistake."

"We have known the boss for so many years, so we should know him well. Although he may seem a little hypocritical at times, he is generally a good person. He is more clear-headed than anyone else and would never do such a foolish thing."

Seeing King Zhao who was agitated and completely unconvinced.

Zhu Gaoxu was not in a hurry. He leisurely took a sip of the hot tea on the table to moisten his slightly dry throat, waved his hand, sneered, and said:
"Ha ha……"

"Why is it impossible, why is it impossible?"

"Benefits, everything is just for the sake of benefits."

"As long as there are attractive enough benefits, what kind of things are impossible to happen?"

"You've been through so much over the years, Third Brother. Don't tell me you can't even understand such a simple question. You don't know, right?"

Having said this, Zhu Gaoxu paused, his expression suddenly darkened, and continued:
“We want to establish a nation and create unprecedented achievements.”

"Don't others want to?"

"The world outside is vast and there is a lot of land. Don't future Ming emperors want to open up more land?"

"Achieve great achievements and become a being comparable to or even surpassing the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor?"

"Such temptation, such benefits."

"Old Third, do you think it's worth it for them to do something like this?"

"If you were in their shoes, wouldn't you have the same idea?"

“That’s…”

"Do you believe it yourself?"

“Remember, human nature is something that can never be satisfied in this world.”

"We have what we want, and others naturally have what they want."

“It’s a mutually reinforcing relationship.”

“Just because there seems to be no conflict of interest doesn’t mean there really is no conflict of interest.”

"It just depends on how you think and how you look at this problem." (End of this chapter)
