Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 38: Jindouzi's Promotion (Seeking investment, follow-up reading)
"No, it's just a good court session, why is Dad so angry?"

"What else could it be? Someone is giving him trouble."

"It's just a war, it won't cost much money. Some people, after being the head of a household for two days, no longer take their father seriously."

There were sounds of things being thrown coming from the old man's study.

It was also very lively outside the door. Crown Prince Zhu Pangpang, Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu, and Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui were talking non-stop.

Oh, our prince didn't say anything. He just put his hands in his sleeves, frowned, and looked silently at his two younger brothers who were making sarcastic remarks.

"Big brother." Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu came over with a smile and put his arm around Zhu Pangpang's shoulders. "I'm not saying anything to you as your younger brother, but if Dad wants to go to war, just let him go. If you make him angry like this, be careful that he gets really angry one day and deposes you, the prince, and makes you farm with your second nephew."

"That's right." Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui also nodded in agreement, leaning over to the other shoulder and nudging Zhu Pangpang, "If you ask me, big brother, please fulfill Dad's wish this time. Otherwise, if the old man really gets angry, don't blame us two brothers for not taking the blame for you."

"No." Fatty Zhu looked at the two helplessly, "Which of you two saw that it was me who made Dad angry."

"Not letting the old man go to war is the result of a discussion among the civil and military officials. The court really has no money..."

"Definitely..."

When they heard that Fatty Zhu was going to give another long speech, the two of them quickly waved their hands.

"Alright, eldest brother. The third brother and I are just idle princes. You should save these things for dad."

"Your Highnesses, His Majesty has summoned you."

At this time, Little Snot came out and stretched out his hand to let the three people in.

The three of them looked at each other, and Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxu stood neatly behind Zhu Pangpang.

The old man is very angry now, and the first person who goes in will definitely become a punching bag.

The eldest brother is big and fat, and he is also the prince, so he must do this job first.

He glanced speechlessly at the two guys who had just stirred up trouble and were now cowardly. Fatty Zhu glanced inside the room, swallowed his saliva, and was pushed by his two brothers to slowly walk inside.

The three idiots lined up and moved forward bit by bit as if they were exploring a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.

When I arrived at the hall, I saw that the room was in a mess, with tables, chairs and books scattered all over the floor.

The old man was wearing a black coarse cloth, holding a teacup in his hand, and looking coldly at the three idiots who walked in.

The old man's cold eyes made the three of them stop subconsciously.

"Wow!"

A cup flew over and the three of them dodged it in unison.

Seeing these three idiots dared to hide, the old man's expression became even colder.

"Yes, very good."

Hearing the sound of their teeth chattering due to the cold, the three idiots felt a chill in their hearts, and couldn't understand what had happened to make the old man so angry.

"Your mother just woke up two days ago, and she doesn't want to live a good life anymore. Well, if she doesn't want to live a good life, then none of us will live a good life together."

The three foolish sons looked at him coldly, "Do you think that I am old, confused, and can't do things well? So you start to make decisions for me."

His voice gradually rose. "I'm telling you guys, as long as I'm alive, I have the final say in this family."

The three of them shuddered again.

The old man looked at Fatty Zhu, "Prince."

Fatty Zhu swallowed his saliva, took a step forward and stood up, "Your Majesty."

The old man sneered at Zhu Pangpang and said, "Aren't you a master strategist? Don't all the officials in the world rely on you? Go back and ask them where they hid my grandson."

"The child has just returned after two years of traveling. He has not had a good day yet and has suffered so much injustice. Go and ask me what they want to do. If you can't find my grandson and ask clearly, then don't come back."

Zhu Pangpang raised his head suddenly. He heard an important news from the old man's words. His second son was gone again, and it was possible that he was kidnapped.

"father."

Zhu Pangpang's face changed. Just as he was about to ask, the old man ignored him and turned to look at Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu. "Han Wang."

The King of Han, who was originally happy to hear the news, quickly stood up when he heard about his own affairs.

The old man looked at him and said, "Don't you keep telling people that you are better than your elder brother? You said I wouldn't give you a chance. Fine, I'll give you this chance."

Zhu Gaoxu, who was originally a little nervous, suddenly felt very happy.

"King Zhao."

Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui, who was standing alone in the back, was envious when he heard that his second brother might take power. Then he was instantly excited when he heard the old man calling him.

"Here it is, Dad."

The old man didn't even look at him, and shouted angrily: "Get out!"

Zhu Gaosui: ???

The old man's shout of "get out" made the three of them shudder, and they turned around and left quickly.

"Is the child okay?"

Just as the three idiots left, Empress Xu, who was slowly walking out supported by her maid, asked worriedly.

"Why are you up? Didn't I tell you to have a good rest?"

The old man quickly stepped forward to support his wife, still muttering: "This room is messy, you'll get hurt again."

Empress Xu glanced at the messy study and said helplessly, "You are so old now, you should change your temper."

Helping his wife sit on the brocade couch, the old man chuckled, "It's been so many years, I can't change it, and the imperial physician also said that I can't hold my breath, it hurts my body."

Empress Xu rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Yes, you are not hurting yourself, but you scared my three sons."

The old man laughed dryly upon hearing this, and said quickly, "The imperial physician asked you to rest and recuperate. The palace is too noisy. The Jiming Temple is quite nice, with beautiful scenery and quiet. How about I take you there to recuperate for two days?"

Fearing that Empress Xu would refuse, the old man quickly added: "The little guy is also there. It just so happens that he is free these two days. Let him stay with you and talk to you."

Empress Xu naturally knew what her husband was thinking.

As for the Northern Expedition, she felt that it was not the right time, but she understood her husband's heart better, and she understood the Zhu family's deep obsession with destroying the remaining forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

So she made three rules with her husband and stopped opposing his northern expedition.

When the old man and Empress Xu were discussing going to Jiming Temple to recuperate, three idiots came out with different moods.

Zhu Pangpang's face was full of worry, and his mind was only thinking about how to find his son.

Zhu Gaoxu's back teeth were almost exposed from his grinning face. If he were given a pair of wings, he felt he could fly.

As for Zhu Gaosui next to him, he was now completely confused.

He couldn't figure out now why he came to join in the fun today?

It is understandable that the boss gets scolded, and he has become accustomed to it.

The second child got a huge benefit.

And what about him?
I didn't get anything, but instead got scolded for nothing. The more I think about it, the more I feel at a loss.

"Boss, go back and do your thing without worry. I will take good care of dad."

After walking out of the palace, Zhu Gaoxu, in a happy mood, patted Zhu Pangpang on the shoulder, and went home happily to wait for good news.

According to the old man's habit, once a promise is made, an order will follow soon.

If it wasn't against the rules, he would have wanted to wait at the palace gate now.

Looking at the second brother happily pulling the third brother away, Fatty Zhu stood at the palace gate, glanced back at the old man's study, and recalled the old man's words and expression just now.

He looked at the second brother who left happily, and gradually some understanding came into his mind.
