There was actually another reason why Zhu Zhanyong did not want to be the emperor.
His father was the Crown Prince.
If he became the emperor, how awkward would his father, Zhu Gaochi, be?
He had been the Crown Prince for more than twenty years.
He had not even sat on the throne before, and he was already promoted to Retired Emperor?
His father's body had completely recovered now. It would definitely not be a problem for him to live for a few decades.
It was cruel to let his father be the retired emperor in name only for decades.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for him to be the emperor now.
Of course, it was even more impossible to give the throne to Second Uncle.
Even if the old man really couldn't make it, the emperor could only be his father.
Zhu Zhanyong looked at Old Master Zhu Di speechlessly."
"Old Master, your information is not good. Who said that my father's body is about to die? He's quite good. Recently, he's been discussing with my mother about adding children to our Old Zhu family. Who's talking nonsense in front of you? Wasn't this a rumor? If you pass the throne to me, won't my father skin me alive when I go back?”
Zhu Di was stunned. He looked at Zhu Zhanyong and said,
"Are you sure?"
Zhu Zhanyong stopped smiling and said seriously,"
"I'm very sure. How can I hide this from you?”
Zhu Di's expression instantly became very ugly. His eyes were uncertain as he fell into deep thought. No one knew what he was thinking.
Zhu Zhanyong looked at the old man and suddenly said,"
"Old Master, is your illness not as serious as you think? I seriously suspect that someone bribed the imperial doctor. When I was in the capital, the people from the Imperial Academy of Medicine said that my father was terminally ill. I was so scared that I hurriedly invited a divine doctor to see him. However, the final conclusion was that my father was fine.”
"Moreover, that divine doctor also gave me a divine medicine. It is said that as long as I eat this divine medicine, no matter if I'm really sick or not, I can recover quickly. This divine medicine is still with me now. Old Master, why don't I give it a try?”
Zhu Di's eyes were filled with doubt as he said,
"There's such a medicine? Is the godly doctor you mentioned really that godly? Are you sure he's not a quack doctor?"
Zhu Zhanyong complained,
"Old Master, you're underestimating your grandson too much. When have I ever been deceived?”
Zhu Di nodded with a smile and admitted,"
"Indeed, it's a little difficult to lie to you. If I don't get cheated by you, I'll be burning incense. You're born in the year of the fox, you're as cunning as a ghost. Alright, little brat, if there really is such a divine medicine, then take it out.”
He wanted to see what kind of medicine Zhu Zhanyong could take out.
Seeing this little brat show off, it also aroused his curiosity.
Zhu Zhanyong pretended to rummage in his pocket and then took out a golden pearl that was shining with golden light.
This golden bead was precisely the dragon essence that Zhu Zhanyong had just exchanged.
According to the system, this Dragon Essence could extend Zhu Di's life by at least ten years.
Looking at the golden dragon essence, Zhu Di was stunned.
"This is…"
Zhu Zhanyong giggled and said,
"How is it, old man? You haven't seen it before, right? This is a divine medicine carefully refined by that divine doctor. It's said to be a divine medicine refined from Buddhist relics.”
Zhu Di was indeed shocked. A pill that could actually emit golden light was really unheard of.
He looked at Zhu Zhanyong and asked hesitantly,"
"Can this thing really be eaten?"
Zhu Zhanyong said with certainty,
"Of course. Are you worried that your grandson will harm you? However, Old Master, this is the only portion of this divine medicine. It wasn't easy for your grandson to get it. Do you think you should reward your grandson with something?”
Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Zhanyong and suddenly smiled."
"You want a reward?"
Zhu Zhanyong nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
"Yes, yes!"
Zhu Di smiled and said,
"Why don't you come and sit on Da Ming's great-grandson?”
Zhu Zhanyong was instantly stunned. What did the old man mean? Did he want him to turn against his big brother, Zhu Zhanji?
If he really became the grand grandson, wouldn't his big brother Zhu Zhanji have the heart to eat him up?
However, when he saw the smile in Zhu Di's eyes, Zhu Zhanyong immediately knew that he was teasing him.
"Old Master, there's no point in doing this. Isn't this clearly a trap?"
Zhu Di's smile instantly disappeared and he snorted.
"You want a reward for giving medicine to your grandfather? Let me tell you, tomorrow you will attack the Three Gorge. If you can't take it down, hmph hmph, even if you don't want to be the great-grandson, it's fine! Alright, I'm tired. You can leave!"
Zhu Zhanyong had the urge to slap himself.
So what if he gave him the medicine? What reward did he want? Now, the old master had set up another trap for him to jump into!
It was really difficult for him!
