Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 43 Prince Han is Sick 3
The rebellion plan that his father and third uncle Tongwandou had spent most of the day studying was just a big joke in Zhu Zhanhe's eyes!

Maybe after the two of them finish studying the rebellion plan, Uncle San will turn around and report their conspiracy to rebel to the emperor. This is not impossible!
Doing so would not only undermine the weight of Prince Han in the heart of Emperor Yongle, but also increase the chance of driving Prince Han out of the capital and returning him to his fiefdom, thus reducing a competitor and allowing him to show off in front of the emperor. It could be said that it killed two birds with one stone!
However, Zhu Zhanhe guessed that the most likely possibility was that his third uncle would be a participant and personally help promote the rebellion, so that his father and his uncle, the prince, would have a fierce fight. It would be best if both sides suffered losses, so that his third uncle could take the throne smoothly!
Dad and Third Uncle Tongwandou discussed rebellion, and time passed quickly.

In the afternoon, Third Uncle Tongwandou left the Prince of Han's Mansion with an excited look on his face. During that time, Zhu Zhanhe listened to all the rebellion plans and details discussed by the two without saying a word.

After his third uncle Zhu Gaosui left, his father Zhu Gaoxu finally recovered from his excitement and gradually calmed down.

"He'er, do you think your father can succeed this time?" At this time, Prince Han was sitting quietly in front of the desk, staring blankly at the entire map of Yingtian Prefecture. He was silent for a long time, and then he finally asked his son.

"Dad, you have had such a heart-to-heart talk with Third Uncle for a long time, don't you have any idea in your heart? Also, do you really understand Third Uncle?" Zhu Zhanhe decided to remind his father that his Third Uncle might not be reliable.

"You figured it out? You are indeed worthy of being my good son!" Different from what he had imagined, Prince Han Zhu Gaoxu did not have the enthusiasm he had just shown when talking to his third uncle. Instead, he looked calm and confident.

"Your third uncle is your grandfather's man! I have always known this!" Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile, which shocked Zhu Zhanhe.

"Then Dad, are you luring the enemy deep into your territory..." At this moment, Zhu Zhanhe no longer had the contempt he had just shown when he complained about his father in his heart. He looked confused and had no idea what his father was thinking.

"He'er, I've said before that this is my last chance. I may never have such a huge military power again in the future, so before my military power is taken back, I have decided to fight to the death!
And your third uncle is in charge of your grandfather's personal guard! He's the equivalent of your grandfather's commander-in-chief! He's undoubtedly your grandfather's trusted confidant!

This time, the reason why I still called you Third Uncle was because I was taking a gamble! I was betting on whether your Third Uncle was determined to seize the throne!
As long as he still wants to seize the throne, he won't go to your grandfather to denounce me! He will even become my helper. I want to use him to ignite the gunpowder depot, create chaos in Yingtian Prefecture, and attract attention.

Then I'll take the troops who've been replaced and take action directly to deal with your uncle and his bastards! Then I'll be your grandfather's only choice! No other choice!

Because the army is my trump card, and your third uncle only has the Jinyiwei! Those people are not worth mentioning in front of my army!" Prince Zhu Gaoxu of Han looked at his face full of confidence and slowly recounted his true plan.

"Dad, you are not planning to attack the imperial city?" Zhu Zhanhe was also shocked by his father. What he said now was completely different from what he heard when he was discussing with his third uncle just now.

Just now, his father said that he would lead the army to attack the imperial city, and then ask the old man to give up the throne to him!
Now he was only dealing with the eldest brother's family! And his third uncle was actually a pawn of his father!
"Dad, you...!!" Zhu Zhanhe was shocked by his father. Is this still the brainless Prince of Han? This is not the completely weakened Emperor Yongle!
"He'er, don't participate this time. Stay home with your mother and wait for my good news. I've also increased the number of guards in the palace, and Erniu will stay to listen to your orders.

By then, as long as I can take over the city defense, your third uncle can just create a little chaos and we will succeed. Or as long as the city defense is in hand, your third uncle's affairs will not be important. The key is to take over the city defense, nothing else matters!
"If I fail, I will surrender directly. Your grandfather won't kill me! Your uncle won't let your grandfather kill me either! This is the reason I dare to rebel! Do you understand?" Prince Zhu Gaoxu of Han was teaching his son bit by bit at this time. In fact, Zhu Gaoxu also didn't say something. That is, he himself didn't know whether he would die if he failed, but he would definitely do his best to rebel.

If he failed, he would bet that the old man would not kill him. Based on his understanding of Emperor Yongle, the old man would not kill him. But if he lost the bet, he would commit suicide before the old man killed him! That way, his wife and son would be safe!

"Dad!..." Zhu Zhanhe looked at his father in shock. He never thought that his father had such cognitive ability!
In fact, what Zhu Zhanhe didn't expect was that Zhu Gaoxu, who had received an orthodox royal education, could be so stupid! Moreover, when Zhu Gaoxu was six years old, he understood the essence of history books on his own: to compete for the existence of the emperor!
My father bet that he would not die because he had grasped the weak spot of my grandfather, Emperor Yongle, who was absolutely unwilling to kill his blood relatives again; and my uncle was calm and steady, and no matter what, he did fulfill his duty as the eldest brother. In addition, he had a kind character, so he would not kill my father, and would definitely stop my grandfather from killing my father!

"Son, it's okay if you fail. Your grandfather is going to conquer the grassland again, and your third uncle and I will be indispensable. Your uncle understands this very well, so I will not be driven back to my fiefdom for the time being, don't worry." Prince Han said this with a look of arrogance and asking for a beating. This is definitely a good grasp of the temperament of the prince and the emperor. Awesome! Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but praise his father.

"Okay, that's all for today. I'll teach you later. Go back and rest! Your father is still sick." Prince Zhu Gaoxu of Han was full of pride at this time. It was a pleasure for every man to show off in front of his son, and he was no exception.

"Yes, Dad, go to bed early. I'm leaving now." Zhu Zhanhe looked at his father's expression full of arrogance and didn't want to complain about him anymore, so he decided to go back and have a rest, and then discuss the life plan with the two little girls!
The next day, the weather was fine.

Zhu Zhanhe woke up early in the morning, sweating for a while in the martial arts arena, and then accompanied his mother for breakfast. Recently, the princess had not continued to add ingredients to her beloved son's meals, so the plain porridge with a few side dishes also made Zhu Zhanhe particularly happy.

After dinner, Zhu Zhanhe accompanied his mother in the garden to digest the food. Aunt Xiu'er usually had a lot of things to do, and today she was accompanied by two little girls, Yun'er and Jian'er.

At this time, the two little girls were very well-behaved. They followed Zhu Zhanhe and the princess obediently, step by step. The garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers, colorful and fragrant, which made people very happy.

"Pah, pah, pah..." The sounds of a few messy footsteps interrupted Zhu Zhanhe and his mother's mood of strolling in the garden. He frowned and suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Princess Wei was right next to her son. She clearly felt her son's unhappiness, and the sudden feeling of oppression made her feel uncomfortable.

"He'er~" Princess Wei softly called out to her beloved son, instantly reminding Zhu Zhanhe that his mother was still by his side. He immediately relaxed his face, not wanting his mother to see his frown. However, the cold gaze still made the two little girls who were peeking at him from behind dare not look up.

"Your Highness, Prince Zhanji is here to visit. He said he brought the imperial physician to inquire about the prince's condition." At this moment, the eunuch who came into the garden to report knelt directly on the ground. He did not dare to look up at all. With a panicked look on his face and a little stuttering, he stated his purpose.
