Under the secret protection of the Jinyiwei, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di soon arrived at Zhu Gaoye's residence.
The two of them arrived at the front door of the house. After Zhu Di knocked on the door with familiarity, he stood at the door and waited calmly. He also signaled his father not to be anxious.
After a while, the courtyard door was opened. The servant who opened the door saw that it was Zhu Di.
"It's Mr. Yan."”
"Is Zhu Gaoye in the residence?" Zhu Di asked with a smile.”
"The young master is in the manor," the servant said.”
As he spoke, Zhu Di saw Zhu Gaoye walking over from the courtyard.
Being ten meters underground, no one could hear the noise made by Zhu Gaoye.
Zhu Gaoye also couldn't hear any movement on the ground, let alone a small knock on the door.
The reason why Zhu Gaoye could hear the knocking was because he had installed a small sensor device on the door.
It was connected to the ground ten meters below, which could be considered as a small safety mechanism for himself.
If someone barged into the residence, he would have enough time to deal with them.
When Zhu Gaoye heard the knocking on the door, he quickly came up from the ground to see who was looking for him.
After all, he had always lived in seclusion in Jinling and did not know many people.
Zhu Gaoye saw Zhu Di at the door and couldn't help but be surprised."
"Brother Yan, long time no see. When did you come to Jinling?”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing behind Zhu Di, was stunned when he heard Zhu Gaoye address Zhu Di.
So his fourth son and grandson had yet to acknowledge each other?
At this moment, Zhu Di turned around and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a look, indicating that his father should not reveal his identity.
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart skipped a beat, but he did not reveal Zhu Di's identity.
Zhu Di's actions also made Zhu Gaoye notice the old man behind him.
"Eh, Brother Yan, who is this old gentleman?”
When Zhu Di heard Zhu Gaoye's words, he quickly said before Zhu Yuanzhang,
"This is Zhang San, a good friend of mine. We happened to bump into each other in Jinling, so I brought him along to introduce him to you.”
"Don't look at how old Zhang San is, he's quite capable.”
The founding emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty was naturally quite capable. Otherwise, how could he establish the great Great Ming Dynasty with a commoner?
Zhu Gaoye's eyes lit up when he heard Zhu Di's answer. He pulled Zhu Yuanzhang into the courtyard.
"Come in quickly. Don't stand outside.”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had yet to come back to his senses, was pulled into the courtyard by Zhu Gaoye. Then, Zhu Gaoye ordered his men to close the courtyard door.
Every time he returned to Jinling, Zhu Di would meet Zhu Gaoye and talk to him for some reason.
In the end, the two of them became good friends, but from the beginning to the end, Zhu Di never revealed his identity to Zhu Gaoye.
Therefore, even though Zhu Gaoye and Zhu Di were very familiar with each other, they still did not know Zhu Di's true identity.
After all, in this era, there was no television or mobile phone. Moreover, Zhu Gaoye had never seen what his cheap father looked like.
In addition, in this era, there were clear social classes, and Zhu Di had long been a vassal of Beiping. Zhu Gaoye would definitely not know Zhu Di's identity at the beginning.
However, this did not prevent Zhu Gaoye and Zhu Di from becoming good friends. After all, Zhu Di's vision and knowledge were far beyond ordinary people.
Many of their views coincided with Zhu Gaoye's, and the two of them had a good time talking.
In addition, Zhu Di's understanding of the art of war made Zhu Gaoye admire him very much. Zhu Di was also very interested in Zhu Gaoye's wild ideas.
Soon, the two of them started to talk about everything. When Zhu Di introduced himself, he lied that his name was Yan Si, so Zhu Gaoye addressed him as Brother Yan.
Since he is Brother Yan's friend, he must be quite capable. Heroes don't care about age.
Jiang Taigong was able to meet King Wen of Zhou at the age of eighty and achieve great things.
Lianpo and Huang Zhong, at the age of seventy, were able to lead troops into battle.
And the famous general of the Qin country, Wang Jian, was also invincible on the battlefield at this age.
Not to mention the famous general of the Great Tang, Li Jing, who only rose to power in his forties or fifties. After several battles, he became famous.
Therefore, Zhu Gaoye did not care about Zhu Yuanzhang's age at all.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied.
During the Yuan Dynasty, people were treated as useless after the age of 60 and were left to fend for themselves.
But in this dynasty, the idea had already been formed, even though Zhu Yuanzhang had spent a lot of effort to change this idea.
However, because the world had just settled down, there was not much food, so this kind of thing still happened from time to time.
As a result, the entire society was not very friendly to the elderly.
He did not expect his illegitimate grandson to not treat the old man with disgust like ordinary people.
This gave Zhu Yuanzhang a good impression!
After the servants served tea, Zhu Gaoye pulled Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang to chat.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not disappoint Zhu Gaoye.
He looked at things from a very tricky angle. Many times, even Zhu Di couldn't help but slap his thigh. After a conversation, not only Zhu Gaoye was very satisfied.
Even Zhu Di felt that he had learned a lot.
Zhu Gaoye looked at the two people in front of him and made up his mind. He must recruit these two people and conspire together!
The last time Yan Four came, he wanted to recruit Yan Four, but he didn't say anything.
Yan Four had left in a hurry because he had something to attend to, causing him to regret it for a long time.
This time, he definitely could not miss this opportunity, especially when Zhang San, who seemed to be even more talented than Yan Four, came.
If he recruited these two people, he could use them as his right-hand men and also recommend them to his cheap father, Zhu Di.
With the help of these two, it would be much easier to mobilize Jingnan.
Therefore, after Zhu Gaoye deliberated for a moment, he said to the two of them,
"I have a request. I hope Brother Yan and Brother Zhang can help me!”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any reaction to Zhu Gaoye's words. As the emperor, he had seen and heard enough things.
There were not many things in the world that could arouse his interest.
Zhu Di was curious about Zhu Gaoye's words.
The interaction between the two of them had always been verbal. Zhu Gaoye did not even ask where he lived.
Today, he actually wanted to ask for help directly, so he said,
"Gao Ye, if you have anything to say, just say it!”
As soon as he said this, the old and experienced Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Di had fallen into Zhu Gaoye's trap.
He couldn't help but praise Zhu Gaoye in his heart. At such a young age, he actually had such good control over people's hearts.
One had to know that among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, other than Zhu Biao, who had already passed away, the fourth son made him the most difficult and satisfied.
He didn't expect Zhu Gaoye to control it so easily. This should be a student surpassing his master!
Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Gaoye slowly said,"
"To tell you the truth, I want to invite the two of you to work together with me!”
