Today's Han King Residence was very unusual.
Was Second Uncle going to rebel in Yongle Dynasty?
This wasn't written in the history books!
However, what happened today did not make sense.
What were Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui trying to do?
What instructions did Zhang Fu, Li Jinglong, Zheng Heng, and Zhu Yong receive from Zhu Gaoxu?
Zhu Zhanji returned to the Crown Prince's residence after a moment of silence. He walked into the courtyard and saw his fat father, who weighed more than 300 pounds, dancing with his sword. The originally elegant Taiji Sword had been changed by him. Every movement was done with great care. Even when he raised his left leg, his right leg could not support it. His fat body bounced to the right three times and almost fell. When he saw Zhu Zhanji enter, he immediately stopped with a smile.
"Son, come and tell me how to do this sword technique.”
Zhu Zhanji shook his head helplessly. His father was too fat. He liked to be quiet and not active. He was so tired that he was panting when he practiced the sword.
Zhu Gaochi was quite excited. He gestured with his sword and said,"The imperial physician just taught me a set of Taiji Sword and said that I can't get any fatter. No matter how fat I get, my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys won't be able to take it. I ate four bowls less last night.”
You must have been scared by grandpa!
Zhu Zhanji said," Dad, you can't lose weight by practicing like this. If you have time, you should run more. Don't eat dinner too. This way, you might be able to lose weight."”
Zhu Gaochi didn't know whether to laugh or cry." Nonsense. It's not like you don't know that my legs are not good. I need someone to help me walk for a long time. You don't even want my old life to run. What's wrong with you, kid? You're so absent-minded the moment you come back. You even forgot that I have a foot disease?”
Zhu Zhanji felt that his father might be able to help. This was also a master who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger. He walked over and said,"Just now, I went to Second Uncle's residence. It was under the emperor's orders. As soon as I entered the room, there were two big stoves. It was so hot that I couldn't breathe, but Second Uncle was lying on the bed and covered with a quilt. He actually didn't sweat at all!”
"Is there anyone serving him?" Zhu Gaochi asked with a smile.”
"The Han Princess Consort is here, feed him the medicine!" Zhu Zhanji said.”
"Did the Han Princess Consort sweat?" asked Zhu Gaochi.”
Zhu Zhanji was shocked. The Han Princess Consort did not sweat at all. She looked at her father in a new light and continued,"Father! When I went in, I happened to see the Duke of England, Zhang Fu, the Duke of Cheng, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Cao, Li Jinglong, and the Marquis of Wu 'an, Zheng Heng, coming out from inside. These four are all valiant generals in the army. Zhu Yong and Zheng Heng even hold military power. The Duke of England, Zhang Fu, has conquered Annan four times. Almost half of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers have fought under him. Father, I'm worried that Second Uncle…"
"Worried that your second uncle will rebel?" Zhu Gaochi asked with a smile that was not a smile.”
Zhu Zhanji reminded him,"Third Uncle is here too!" He said whatever he wanted to say, as if there was a hidden meaning behind his words!”
Zhu Gaochi took the time to brandish his sword and laughed,""Your third uncle is a shrewd person. Why would he help your second uncle rebel? Your imperial grandfather once praised him. A dog lifting the curtain, all because of this mouth!”
"What about Ji Gang?" Zhu Zhanji asked coldly.”
"Ji Gang?"
Zhu Gaochi suddenly stopped and said seriously,""Why did you mention him?"
"Father, this Ji Gang actually wanted to kill me in Zhao Prison. I'm going to kill him!" Zhu Zhanji said with killing intent.”
Zhu Gaochi was shocked. He was relieved to see that his son was fine. He sighed and said,"You can't kill Ji Gang. He's your grandfather's blade to eliminate dissidents. If you kill him, won't you break your grandfather's blade?”
"I don't believe that Imperial Grandfather will kill me for Ji Gang!" Zhu Zhanji said.”
Zhu Gaochi stomped his feet anxiously and said," Son, how can you have such thoughts? Ji Gang is nothing but a dog of our Zhu Family. Who are you, the future emperor? How can you risk your life for a dog? What if your grandfather thinks that we are plotting a rebellion? If your second uncle makes a counter-accusation, our whole family will be crippled. Don't think that you can have nothing to worry about just because your grandfather has always favored you. When the heavenly power descends, you will understand what imperial power is…"
Zhu Zhanji was puzzled.”
Seeing that his son was serious, Zhu Gaochi pulled him to sit down and said,""Son, let me tell you, there is only one person in the world who can kill Ji Gang, and that is your Imperial Grandfather! If anyone else was killed, it would be a rebellion!”
"I almost killed Ji Gang in Zhao Prison today!" Zhu Zhanji said.”
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said," If Ji Gang was so easy to kill, why would it be your turn? I would have killed him long ago. Ji Gang is a cruel official with many henchmen. He used your grandfather's favor to frame and kill officials and bully the people. There are countless people in the world who want him dead, but he is cunning by nature. He changes to a different room every night. There are four or five substitutes. Do you know that you really killed Ji Gang?”
"Dad, you killed Ji Gang too?" Zhu Zhanji asked in surprise.”
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said," Do you know why your father has been so careful all these years? He would be scared out of his wits at the slightest disturbance. This is all because of Ji Gang. Ever since he became the commander of the Brocade Guard, I have lost nearly a hundred ministers to him. Especially in one case back then, he killed tens of thousands of people…"
Zhu Zhanji had heard of the three major cases of Hongwu, but he did not expect that there would be such a tragedy in Yongle Dynasty.
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said," Son, we can't fight with such a cruel official. Fighting with him is like fighting with your grandfather. When no one fights with Ji Gang, he will be proud and will inevitably become more arrogant and despotic. When your grandfather notices that this dog is crazy and will bite him in addition to biting others, do you think he will let this dog out to bite again?”
Zhu Zhanji widened his eyes and looked at the cunning round face. Was this still his honest, honest, and kind father?
