As the emperor became emotional, the room was filled with the feeling of licking a calf!
Zhu Gaochi finally made up his mind when he saw his father, Zhu Di, open his heart. He knelt down on the high stool and kowtowed, saying nervously,"Then…then…please…please forgive me, Imperial Father!”
Zhu Di chuckled." What do you mean forgive me? What right do I have to forgive you? I'm the biggest sinner of the Ming Dynasty."”
" I was thinking…" Zhu Gaochi hesitated whether he should lay his cards on the table now, but decided not to change his mind."Your son wants…"
Zhu Di, who was sitting on the bed, finally noticed his son's abnormality. He turned his head and asked,"What are you thinking about?"
Zhu Gaochi sobbed,"I wish to resign from the position of Crown Prince. I hope Imperial Father will allow it!"”
Zhu Di looked at his crying son and was moved. He was also surprised. He could not understand why his son would easily resign from the position of Crown Prince that he could not even dream of. He said in a daze,"Why?"
Zhu Gaochi felt inferior and said," It's because my body is not in balance and I can't handle it. When Father returned to the capital this time, he encountered such a big assassination case. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out anything, so he was really mentally and physically exhausted. I hope…I hope Your Majesty can forgive me for being a useless person!”
Zhu Gaochi sobbed again when he said the last sentence. His fat body trembled in excitement as if he was kowtowing.
Zhu Zhanji, who was kneeling at the back, felt extremely uncomfortable!
This was his father in this life!
Why was he so lowly?
He was actually forced to resign from his position as Crown Prince!
In front of him, Zhu Gaochi was sobbing, and Zhu Zhanji felt a fire burning in his heart.
Zhu Di turned his head expressionlessly and said lightly,""You don't want to do it anymore!"
"No…I…I…" Zhu Gaochi sobbed.
Seeing his son in such despair and sincerely asking to resign from the position of Crown Prince, Zhu Di felt uncomfortable. It was as if there was an unknown fire in his heart. In the end, he had forced his son too much, but he was unwilling to admit it. He tried to ask,"Then where should we go…back to Shuntian?"
Zhu Gaochi still remembered the last time he mentioned Shuntian, the old man had said that Shuntian had gathered forces to rebel. He cried and replied,""No, I can't! It was good to be a useless person under his father's knee!”
Zhu Di's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. He tried his best to endure it. He was forcing the Crown Prince because he was afraid of him. He was afraid of this weak son, afraid of his kindness, afraid that he would be supported by all the officials. The more his heart churned, the calmer he appeared."If you don't want to be the Crown Prince, then who will be the Crown Prince?”
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and his mind was filled with images of his second brother Zhu Gaoxu forcing himself.
Zhu Di seized the opportunity to ask,"Who? Speak!"
"Second brother!"
Zhu Gaochi decided to help his second brother. He was not the Crown Prince, and his second brother, Zhu Gaoxu, was indeed the best candidate. He continued,"When he was in Jingnan, he risked his life to protect father! He's strong and decisive, he…"
Zhu Di felt ridiculed and scolded,"Shut up!"
Zhu Gaochi laid his cards on the table and cried sadly,"Father, let me finish. Back then, didn't you pat his shoulder and say that your big brother's health wasn't good and that you had to work harder…Father, sob, didn't you say something like that?”
A heart-wrenching cry!
Zhu Zhanji was upset. He knew that he couldn't speak at this time. If he said that he agreed to his father's resignation as Crown Prince, then the old man would agree in a fit of anger. It would be like shooting himself in the foot. If he said that he didn't agree to his father's resignation as Crown Prince, then the label of an unfilial son would be placed on his head. It would also make Zhu Di think that he was greedy for power!
Zhu Di was also very helpless and sad. He held in his anger but could not vent it. He raised his head and asked the eunuch,""Second Brother is here, right? Call him over!"
Snot immediately went outside the hall to speak.
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't wait any longer. He quickly walked into the hall and saw his eldest brother Zhu Gaochi and nephew Zhu Zhanji kneeling on the ground. He thought that they had angered the old man and looked at the sobbing Crown Prince and thought about what to say.
"Kneel down!"
What was that?
"Father?" Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused.
"Kneel down!" Zhu Di pointed.
Zhu Gaoxu took a few steps back and knelt beside his elder brother, Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Di took the imperial sword from the weapon rack and handed the hilt to his eldest son.""Take it!"
"Father!" Zhu Gaochi was frightened.
"Take it!" Zhu Di said angrily.
Zhu Gaochi cried as he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Zhu Di pulled the scabbard fiercely, and the sharp blade was held in Zhu Gaochi's hand.
"Father!" Zhu Gaochi lost his grip and his sword fell to the ground.
Zhu Di finally found a place to vent his anger. He said angrily,"Didn't you resign from the position of Crown Prince because of Second Brother? The two of you really hope for my death. The two of you have long wanted to have a good fight, right?”
Zhu Gaochi cried and shook his head. I don't think so, Father…"
Big Brother wants to resign from the position of Crown Prince!
Father was angry!
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up. He felt that the opportunity had come. He could finally replace his cowardly brother as the Crown Prince. He said in a passionate voice,"Father! Who doesn't have a disappointing son? Why should I give him everything when he's the eldest? He was only born a few years earlier than me. I can't accept it. I don't want his empire, I want it!”
"Shut up! "Haven't we made enough jokes? Are you sincerely hoping that I won't die a good death..." Zhu Di suppressed the urge to kill and said angrily to Zhu Gaochi, then pointed at Zhu Gaoxu and said,"I'm going to kill you.""Chop him! With one slash, Second Brother's head would fall off. He would not be able to reattach it anymore. No one would fight with you. I don't have to listen to your nonsense every day. Chop!"
The more Zhu Di spoke, the crazier he became. He laughed and said,"Good! That was great! If there is a father who has rebelled, there will be a son who has rebelled. I'm not afraid of the comments of future generations, nor am I afraid of the historian. I don't believe it! Chop! Chop! Chop!"
One word, chop!
It was full of killing intent!
F * ck!
He was really going to kill someone!
The emperor was furious and killed millions of people!
Zhu Zhanji finally understood what the wrath of the emperor meant. If it weren't for the princes and grandchildren, they would have been chopped by Zhu Di ten thousand times. He quickly poked his father's leg and reminded him,"Father! Painting! Draw!"
Zhu Gaochi finally reacted and said in fear,""Yes, yes, yes! Painting! Father! I brought the painting!"
