Zhu Gaochen was gambling.
He was gambling with his life.
He was betting that Zhu Gaoxu wouldn't dare to make a move.
"Don't think that I won't dare to kill you!" Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochen secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He suddenly felt confident.
"If the King of Han wants to kill me, why waste your breath?”Zhu Gaochen smiled and said,
He was afraid that Zhu Gaoxu would not speak. Now that the other party had spoken, it proved that his will had loosened and he had some misgivings.
Once a person had scruples, they would have weaknesses. If he found the right opportunity, he could break the other party's psychological defense.
Obviously, luck was still on his side.
Zhu Gaoxu felt that Zhu Gaochen's smile was glaring and said in a deep voice,""What are you laughing at!"
" I'm laughing at Second Brother's recklessness," Zhu Gaochen said directly." What kind of person is the old master?" Can't he guess what you're thinking? If my estimations are correct, he already guessed what you wanted to do when you asked for the military power of the Five Cities Military Department!”
Zhu Gaoxu only came to his senses when he heard Zhu Gaochen's words.
"Second brother, come back to the palace with me and apologize to the old master. Since he knew about it long ago and didn't say anything, it means that the old master is giving you a chance!”
"Not everyone has such an opportunity.”
"Think about it."
Zhu Gaochen guided him patiently. As he spoke, he flicked Zhu Gaoxu's sword to the side.
"I can go back!"
After hesitating for a while, Zhu Gaoxu compromised and turned to look at the soldiers behind him."How does the old master plan to deal with these people?”
After all, if Zhu Gaoxu did not protect these people, how could he lead troops in the future? Once word got out, who would still dare to be loyal to him?
"Don't worry about that. I guarantee that the old master will let bygones be bygones.”
Zhu Gaochen smiled." Besides, they're only here to change the city's defense. They didn't do anything wrong. The old man won't blame them."”
"I hope you can do it."
Zhu Gaoxu got off his horse and entered Yingtian Prefecture with Zhu Gaochen.
.......
A night passed.
Early morning.
The sun rose as usual, and the mountains and rivers were safe and sound.
In the Imperial Palace.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were kneeling outside the palace.
Inside the hall.
Zhu Di sat high under the dragon chair.
Below him were Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, who had rushed over to inquire about the situation, and Southern Prince Zhu Gaochen, who had come to report.
At this moment, no one in the hall took the initiative to speak. It was strangely quiet.
In this strange and quiet atmosphere, Zhu Di broke the silence and looked at Zhu Gaochi with a questioning tone."Boss, do you know about the mutiny between Second and Third?”
"Son... I just found out." Zhu Gaochi lowered his head. Bean-sized beads of sweat emerged from his forehead and dripped onto the floor.
He had just learned from the eunuch that the King of Han and the King of Zhao were planning to rebel tonight while the city was changing its defenses.
"You are the Crown Prince. Now, let me ask you, how do you plan to deal with Second and Third?”Zhu Di scrutinized Zhu Gaochi, waiting for his answer.
Zhu Gaochi panted heavily and said in a trembling voice,""I think…I feel "
Zhu Di was a little angry and shouted in a deep voice,"What do you think? You keep stuttering when you speak!"
Zhu Gaochi hesitated for a long time before he said carefully,""Father, I feel that Second and Third are a little reckless. On account of their first offense, I will punish them to return to the residence and shut them up at home for a few days.”
First offense?
Closed for a few days?
Zhu Di laughed out loud as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Zhu Di stood up from the dragon throne, walked to Zhu Gaochi's side, and patted his shoulder vigorously.
"If I hadn't discovered it in advance and Fourth Brother hadn't sensed it and stopped it in time, Crown Prince, your head would probably have been hung on the city gate tower of Yingtian Prefecture!”
Zhu Di's eyes flashed with disappointment at Zhu Gaochi's suggestion, and his expression was complicated.
"Zhen will ask you again, how do you plan to deal with Second and Third Brother!”Zhu Di shouted sternly.
Frightened by the Emperor's voice, Zhu Gaochi fell to his knees with a thud. His voice trembled as he said,""I, I really don't know.”
Zhu Di suddenly turned around, grabbed a sword from the side, and pulled it out in front of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochen.
" Father, father!" Zhu Gaochi saw Zhu Di raising his sword with a murderous look and immediately sat on the ground in fear.
Zhu Di ignored him. He threw the scabbard aside and walked out of the hall.
At the same time.
Outside the hall.
The Han King and the Zhao King were still discussing how to deal with the old man's questions.
The two of them had a disagreement during their discussion.
While they were arguing, Zhu Gaosui saw Zhu Di walking out of the hall with a sword in his hand. He was so scared that he immediately prostrated himself on the ground.
"Look at you!"
Han King Zhu Gaoxu wanted to tease Zhu Gaosui, but he quickly realized that something was wrong.
He turned around and saw Zhu Di approaching with a cold expression and a sword in his hand. He followed Zhu Gaosui's example and prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
Zhu Di ignored the two of them and quickly passed by them.
He went to the garden and found a thorny tree. Zhu Di cut a thorny branch from the thorny tree without saying anything.
Then, he took the thorny branch back to the main hall and threw it in front of Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Di looked down at Zhu Gaochi, who was kneeling on the ground, and ordered sternly,""Pick it up!"
