Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 83 The spare tire wants to take over? Are you confused?

It would also easily lead to Zhu Gaoxu giving up and not working hard.

As long as he doesn't tell Zhu Gaoxu that his position as regent is temporary, he will think he has done a good job.

There will be a day when you can be regularized.

In reality, he was just a backup option.

As long as Zhu Gaochi is fine, it will never be his turn.

Looking at the second brother who was in high spirits and showing off in front of him, Zhu Gaochi stood up and pretended to leave in a very lonely manner.

Looking at Zhu Gaochi's loneliness.

The happier Zhu Gaoxu felt.

"Hahaha, Third Brother, did you see the expression on the eldest brother's face?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that he would have such a day, hahaha."

Zhu Gaosui frowned slightly. He didn't know why, but he always felt something was weird.

Just yesterday, the token that signified the presence of the emperor in person was bestowed upon Zhu Zhanji.

Today I gave Zhu Gaochi's regent position to my second brother.

Is it really because of the influence of Zhu Zhanji?
"Brother, I always feel something is wrong. Do you think the old man is playing a trick on us?"

Zhu Gaoxu disagreed.

"Third brother, you think too much. It's true that the old man likes to play tricks on us."

"But when has he ever made a joke about the Regent?"

This sentence dispelled the doubts of Zhu Gaosui, who was originally full of doubts.

This is true.

No one can joke about national affairs.

Looking at Zhu Gaochi's appearance, it doesn't seem fake.

As a result, Zhu Gaosui had a flattering smile on his face: "Second brother, you are the regent now."

"You have to help me get Di Ping out."

"This kid has been with me for so many years and has done so much for us. We can't let the people below us down."

Zhu Gaoxu held the national seal in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely not forget my eldest nephew."

"Little snot!"

Since he is the regent, he naturally has the right to command the eunuchs in the palace.

In response, Little Nose didn't say much and came to Zhu Gaoxu.

"Go, let our good nephew enter the palace."

This morning, the one showing off his power was Zhu Zhanji.

But now, the one who shows off his power is Zhu Gaoxu.

Things change over time. I guess Zhu Zhanji could never have imagined it.

……

At this moment, inside the Jinyiwei prison.

Di Ping had just been sent here.

Before Zhu Zhanji started interrogating, Zhao De came to report.

"Grandson, this is bad!"

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhao De in front of him, feeling relaxed and contented.

"what happened?"

He has Zhu Di's token, so basically many things are not a big deal in his eyes.

"The Crown Prince disobeyed the Emperor and refused to allow him to raise military supplies for the Northern Expedition. In a rage, he handed over the Crown Prince's power as regent to the King of Han."

"What did you say?!" Zhu Zhanji grabbed Zhao De by the collar.

The calm and composed look on his face just now disappeared without a trace.

How can this be?

Why was the power of regent given to my second uncle?

The power of the regent during the Yongle Dynasty was very great, and he could even influence the selection of officials.

Zhu Di has always turned a blind eye.

Of course, Zhu Di still needed to be notified of the selection of officials.

No emperor dared to completely delegate power to the crown prince to govern the country, except Li Shimin.

But except for Li Shimin, his power to influence the selection of officials was the highest among all the princes who served as regents in all dynasties.

More importantly, being regent is not just about power, it also concerns Zhu Di's attitude towards the next emperor.

Moreover, the crown prince and the regent are bound together.

Normally, there is no prince who governs the country.

Doesn't this mean that the next step is to change the crown prince?

Zhu Zhanji didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly prepared to return to the palace to ask Zhu Gaochi for clarification.

What exactly is going on?

Don't wait until the blink of an eye, the owner of the East Palace will change.

……

East Palace, Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Gaochi was lying leisurely in the courtyard, holding the Grand Secretary of the White Hair Pavilion in his arms.

I don’t know when Zhanji will come back.

I can learn from Zhu Zhanji.

Just then, Zhu Zhanji walked in hurriedly.

Perhaps he walked too fast and didn't notice Zhu Gaochi lying on the recliner.

Walk straight into the house.

Seeing Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly called out: "Zhanji, Zhanji."

Zhu Zhanji turned around and saw Zhu Gaochi, who looked relaxed.

"Dad? Why are you here!?!"

Then, Zhu Zhanji asked urgently: "Dad, I heard from Zhao De that Grandpa handed over your power of regent to your second uncle?"

"Is this true?"

Looking at Zhu Zhanji's sharp eyes, he felt uneasy, even though Zhu Gaochi's position as crown prince was secured because of himself.

However, his position as the crown prince also needed to be stabilized by the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

If dad is not the crown prince, then he is still a shitty grandson of the emperor. They are father and son and depend on each other.

"You found out so quickly, Zhanji. I was just about to ask you, what hobbies does the old man have?"

"What did your grandfather do when he took you out to play?"

Facing Zhu Gaochi's questions.

Zhu Zhanji was already panicking and had no intention of listening to him.

He paced back and forth, looking worried and breathing rapidly.

Small movements continued: "Why not? Dad, why do you have to be so hard on the old man?"

"It's good now. Now I am the regent. Later, I will be the crown prince."

"I will be implicated by you too." Zhu Gaochi scratched his fat face.

"is it so serious?"

It was just that Zhu Gaoxu was allowed to take over the power of regent temporarily. When the two of them were away, the country could not be without someone in charge.

Zhu Zhanji is a grandson, and there are also cases to investigate.

The most suitable candidate for regent was Zhu Gaoxu.

"Is it that serious? Dad, are you out of your mind?"

"If the position of crown prince is lost, our whole family will be ruined."

"Look at you, you are always so submissive. Even if someone shits on you, you still have to clean up their ass."

“All I do all day is eat!”

"How come I have a father like you?!"

this moment.

Zhu Zhanji was like a father who was disappointed with his son.

Zhu Gaochi was like a child who had made a mistake.

These words also made Zhu Gaochi feel a little aggrieved. He wanted to explain, but he hesitated.

"No, I have to go find grandpa and ask him clearly!"

After saying this, Zhu Zhanji left in a hurry.

Zhu Gaochi was not given any chance to speak, as he was still thinking about learning from Zhu Zhanji some experience in getting along with Zhu Di.

It seems there is no chance.

He had long been accustomed to Zhu Zhanji's reprimands.

Although it does hurt one's self-esteem sometimes, after all, who would like to be scolded by their son?

The father puts pressure on himself, and the son also puts pressure on himself.

Zhu Gaochi held the white-haired puppy in his arms with both hands and said with a smile: "I feel that the title of Grand Secretary of the White-haired Pavilion is not worthy of your status. From now on, I will make you the Dog Prince."

"I am your father..."

Zhu Gaochi was alone in the yard, playing with the white puppy in his arms.

Entertain yourself.

As soon as Zhu Zhanji left the Eastern Palace and the Prince's Mansion, he met someone sent by Zhu Gaoxu.

"Grandson, the Prince of Han wants you to come over."

Zhu Zhanji was stunned.

It had only been a short time since he got the token, but he was already being suppressed by Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui.

Helplessly, Zhu Zhanji had to go to the Shangshufang.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was sitting on the dragon throne, wearing a dragon robe, looking high-spirited, with his left hand on the dragon throne and his right hand holding the imperial seal.

Zhu Zhanji no longer had the arrogance he had this morning.

He leaned forward and said with a smile, "Second Uncle, are you looking for me?"

Zhu Gaoxu, wearing a dragon robe, came to Zhu Zhanji and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this my nephew?"

"Why is your back so bent?"

"Isn't your back very straight this morning?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled again and again: "No, uncle, I am here to greet you two."

Zhu Gaosui stood aside. The current situation could be described as a true reversal of fortune.

No one knows what will happen next second.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu did not show off too much, but just put his arm around Zhu Zhanji's neck and said: "I heard that the third brother is a jack of all trades in the Jinyiwei."

"You were ordered to investigate a case, but you arrested Jinyiwei's deputy commander Di Ping without any evidence? That's true, right?"

Zhu Zhanji quickly admitted his mistake.

"Uncle, how could this be possible? Uncle, such an upright man, how could he cover up the truth with one hand?"

"I have already released Di Ping. I hope that my second and third uncles will forgive me for my inappropriate behavior as a nephew."

You must bow your head.

Zhu Gaoxu was responsible for reviewing memorials, which means that what Zhu Di could see depended entirely on Zhu Gaoxu.

If Zhu Gaoxu secretly contacted a group of people to report him, the Prince's Mansion, which was already in trouble, would be hit even harder.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu had no power to directly interfere with Zhu Zhanji.

In addition, Zhu Zhanji also had to investigate a case assigned by Zhu Di, so naturally he would not be overly embarrassed about it.

He then walked down the steps given by Zhu Zhanji.

"It's good to know. Don't be so arrogant in the future."

“No one knows who will rise to the top and who will fall into the abyss.”

Zhu Zhanji nodded repeatedly.

"What my second uncle taught me, my nephew will keep in mind."

"Okay, it's nothing, you can leave now."

Zhu Zhanji now looks like a sick chick, listless and listless.

No spirit at all.

This also gave the two people who had been bullied in the morning a great sense of satisfaction.

……

The next day.

As agreed, Zhu Di arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, while Zhu Gaochi was already prepared.

Before dawn, he was waiting at the door for Zhu Di to arrive.

Looking at Zhu Gaochi's expression, Zhu Di said, "Now that we are ready, let's go."

When they left the palace, they naturally rode in sedan chairs, and two sedan chairs ran side by side in the palace.

Zhu Gaochi's thumbs kept spinning.

I felt uneasy.

It was my first time, so I was a little nervous and didn’t dare to talk much.

By the time Zhu Gaochi noticed that the sedan had stopped, they had already arrived at the door of Zuixianlou.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Gaochi was slightly stunned.

"Dad? You said you were taking me out to play. Is this where we should go?"

"That's fine with me."

"Dad, are you sure you're OK?"

Zhu Gaochi had some knowledge of Zuixian Tower, which he learned from Zhu Zhanji.

I heard that it is a place of romance, flowers, snow and moon.

When the two of us came here, we always felt something was weird.

An emperor and a prince shouldn't come here to play, right?

Zhu Di rolled his eyes at Zhu Gaochi.

"Who told you that we were here to have fun?"

"Besides, you haven't seen my body yet, how do you know?"
