Prince Liang's residence.
Zhu Gaoyu was sitting at the head of the main hall when Shen Lian rushed in.
"Your Highness, the development of the three-eyed firearm at Xiaotangshan is going very smoothly. It's just that Gaden said that he doesn't have enough manpower and asked for more people to be sent over.”
"Send someone?"
"Yes."
Indeed!
It was such a big project, and Gordon didn't have enough people. They should indeed send more people.
Zhu Gaoyu secretly shook his head and frowned as he pondered for a moment. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
That's right! Isn't there the Divine Arms Battalion?
Why don't I just poach a few craftsmen from the Divine Arms Battalion who can fight against ten people?
The Divine Arms Battalion is worth ten people. Even if I pay him double the salary, it'll still save money!
Zhu Gaoyu felt that his idea was economical and practical. It was simply wonderful.
Hence, she quickly raised her hand to greet Shen Lian who was standing at the side.
"Shen Lian, take my golden token and pass on my order. Go to the Divine Arms Battalion and get some people.”
"Yes."
After Shen Lian responded, he was about to turn around when he thought of something and spoke hesitantly.
"What should we say if the Divine Arms Battalion asks?”
Zhu Gaoyu thought for a moment, then said,"
"Just say that autumn is here and the King of Liang wants to make a few kites to play with. If he wants to make these kites exquisite and beautiful, he will need the help of the craftsmen of the Divine Arms Battalion.”
Then, she added with a dark face.
"Tell them to give as many people as they have. Don't be polite with them!”
"Just say that I want to be a kite team and fly in the sky for dad to see.”
Shen Lian nodded.
"I understand."
Shen Lian had just left when the old eunuch of the Liang Residence rushed in and bowed to Zhu Gaoyu.
"Young Prince, a person called Xu Bin requests an audience.”
Zhu Gaoyu waved his hand.”
"Yes."
Not long after, a man dressed in plain clothes who looked like a scholar walked in. He stood in the middle of the hall and nodded at Zhu Gaoyu.
"Sit."
Zhu Gaoyu raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation. Then, he waved his hand to let the eunuchs and palace maids leave before turning to look at Xu Bin.
Xu Bin glanced at Zhu Gaoyu and spoke with a serious expression.
"Jianwen Emperor has already left and will be here in five days.”
"Five days later, we will meet at the pagoda on Spirit Mountain, but Erlong and the others can only bring two guards each.”
"If you need someone to pass on the message, let Ruowei do it.”
Zhu Gaoyu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before speaking.
"That's not right. Let me pass on the message!”
If I let Sun Ruowei pass the message, how can I meet Emperor Jianwen? How can I intercept him?!
Wasn't this a joke?
"No." Xu Bin refused without thinking.
"In order to ensure the Jianwen Emperor's safety, we need a person with some power to be a hostage.”
"If you pass the message, who will take the hostage?”
Zhu Gaoyu held his chin and thought about it. It was indeed reasonable.
That hostage…Who would be the one?
He thought for a moment and suddenly thought of something. He clapped his hands happily and said loudly,
"I know who is going to be the hostage!"
Xu Bin looked at him in confusion.
Zhu Gaoyu continued,
"My eldest nephew!"
"Your eldest nephew?"
Xu Bin thought for a moment.
"You mean... Grand Sun Zhu Zhanji?"
Zhu Gaoyu nodded excitedly.
"That's right."
"You see, I'm just an idle prince with no real power in my hands. At most, I'm just doted on a little more.”
"However, my father doesn't lack sons. Even if something happens and you kill me, my father's heart will only ache for a few days.”
"But my eldest nephew is different!”
"Ever since he was born, he has always had high hopes. It is very likely that he will inherit the throne in the future.”
Xu Bin pondered for a moment and nodded.
"That makes sense."
"But the problem is, why would this Grand Sun be willing to be our hostage?”
Zhu Gaoyu was delighted when he heard that. He patted his small chest and gave Xu Bin a guarantee.
"I'm his uncle. How dare he disobey me?”
"It has always been me who told him to go east but he didn't dare to go west.”
"If I say I'll let him be a hostage, would he dare not go?!”
Xu Bin looked at him suspiciously for a long time, then hesitated and said,
"Then…Alright then…We'll do as you say."
Zhu Gaoyu chuckled and left Xu Bin behind to run away, leaving Xu Bin stunned.
"Alright, I'll do it now!"
...........................
In the Eastern Palace.
Zhu Zhanji's face darkened as he looked at Zhu Gaoyu, who was hanging on his body and acting shamelessly.
"No!"
Zhu Gaoyu shook his little head and shook his body shamelessly as he hummed at Zhu Zhanji.
"Aiyo, Nephew Gu, just go!”
"Go! Go!"
Zhu Zhanji was very firm this time.
"If I say I'm not going, then I'm not going!"
"I won't go even if the emperor comes today!”
"Oh!" Zhu Gaoyu got down from Zhu Zhanji's body and responded with a stern face. He turned around and was about to leave the Eastern Palace, talking as he walked.
"It's fine if you don't want to go. Then I'll go and tell Father that I'll go. Anyway, I'll give you this opportunity to make a contribution.”
"If you don't want it, then forget it."
After Zhu Gaoyu finished speaking, he seemed to be very angry as he brushed his sleeves and did not look back.
What?
You're going to tell Grandpa now?
What if Grandpa finds out that I'm preventing him from meeting Emperor Jianwen?!
No way, no way!
Moreover... Although it was dangerous, it was indeed a meritorious deed.
Just... It was also a good thing…
If I succeed in this matter and make Grandpa happy, I will be able to help him.
If Grandpa is happy, he can treat me better, and then treat my father better…
I really have to do this!
Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and shouted at Zhu Gaoyu's small figure that was about to leave.
"Stop!"
"Let me go!"
