"Dad, what kind of excitement is this?"
"Greetings, Emperor!"
As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, two figures in dark red official robes walked into the hall.
It was the second brother Zhu Gaoxu and the third brother Zhu Gaosui.
"Get up!"
Looking at the two of them, Zhu Di said calmly," Fourth Brother has come out of seclusion. I was thinking that our family hasn't had a meal together for a long time, so I wanted to gather the whole family and have some fun together.”
"What, you guys aren't willing?"
The old man's eyes were slightly closed. His tone was calm but domineering.
Although the tiger was old, its might was still there!
"Of course I'm willing. This is a good thing. Why wouldn't I be willing?？”
The second brother stood up and looked at Zhu Gaojin. A hint of fear and jealousy flashed in his eyes. It was very complicated.
"Fourth Brother has come out of seclusion. If you don't come out soon, our father will probably blast your mansion open with a cannon."”
"That's right. Fourth Brother, you don't know. Father has been worried a lot these past few years.”
Beside him, the third brother also interjected. His big monkey face was filled with a smile, and there was an indescribable flattery.
Speaking of which, it was strange. He had been afraid of Zhu Gaojin since he was young. He was like a mouse that had seen a cat, hiding everywhere.
Zhu Di, Fatty Zhu, and the others were puzzled.
"It's been three years since we last met. Second Brother, Third Brother, you've become much more mature.”
Zhu Gaojin nodded slightly and smiled at the two of them.
"I heard that someone wanted to assassinate the old man. Second Brother, did you see the opportunity?"”
No one was surprised that he called him old man in front of Zhu Di. They were already used to it.
In the family, only he dared to call him that. Zhu Di was not angry. Instead, he felt warm and happy.
"That's right. I received the news in advance that there are traitors who want to harm our father.”
Hearing Zhu Gaojin's words, the second brother narrowed his eyes and raised his voice unconsciously.
" Old Fourth has been strange since he was young. Did he discover something?'
Knowing that his Fourth Brother was not simple, Second Brother felt inexplicably guilty and uneasy.
"Hehe, it seems like you've been doing well all these years!”
The corner of Zhu Gaojin's mouth curled up slightly, and he said meaningfully,""Boss is guarding the Ying Tian Prefecture, but he didn't even notice a single movement.”
"You and the old man were out on an expedition, but you were able to receive news in advance as soon as you returned. This method is extraordinary!”
"Third Bro, to think that you're a professional in intelligence. I think you should learn more from Second Bro.”
"Um…"
No. 3, who was watching the show, was stunned when he saw the fire burn him. He quickly smiled and said,"Fourth Brother's words make sense, Third Brother has learned a lesson!”
Previously, he had felt that something was strange. Now that Fourth Brother had pointed it out, he immediately understood.
The gaze he gave Second Brother became strange and profound.
If it was really Second Brother who was crying thief, then he had underestimated Second Brother previously.
However, no matter what, now that the fourth brother had come out of seclusion, the second brother would suffer in front of this monster. Tsk tsk.
Listening to the conversation between the two, the second brother's expression did not change, but he was a little flustered. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhu Gaojin.
"Old man, eldest brother, third brother, eldest nephew, look at second brother's forehead. Isn't there five words on it?”
“……”
Hearing this, Zhu Di glanced at Second Brother indifferently. His gaze was as calm as an ancient well, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
The boss was still smiling, amiable, and did not express any opinions.
Third Brother had a wicked smile on his face. For some reason, it made people want to step on him.
Zhu Zhanji kept looking at his second uncle's forehead, as if he really wanted to see something.
However, from the way he was trying to hold back his laughter, she knew that it was not something good.
"Fourth Bro, what do you mean?”
Second Brother's face was dark as he questioned loudly. He felt a little scared as he felt that Fourth Brother would not say anything good next.
Reality proved that his intuition was very accurate.
"Nothing much. I just wanted to remind you to look in the mirror when you get home.”Zhu Gaojin said lightly as he played with the jade flute.
"The civil and military officials of the Great Ming Dynasty are not blind. Everyone can see the words 'I want to be the emperor' written on your face, but you don't even know it!”
Hiss!
As soon as these words were said, the entire hall instantly fell silent.
Fourth Brother (Fourth Uncle) was still so bold. He really dared to say anything!
As he thought about it, cold sweat broke out on the eldest's forehead again. The corners of the third's mouth twitched unconsciously, and Zhu Zhanji secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Second Brother was a little dumbfounded, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"Fourth Bro, you…"
"Alright!"
Without waiting for the second brother to say anything, Zhu Di swept his gaze over him. The second brother instantly froze like a quail, not daring to breathe loudly.
He knew that the old man would definitely fly into a rage if he spoke any more.
"Since the fourth brother has come out of seclusion, then the assassination of the emperor will be left to the fourth brother.”
Zhu Di's eyelids drooped slightly as he brushed past the previous topic.
However, Boss, Second Brother, and the others were not fools. They knew that his words had already expressed his attitude.
"Alright, I haven't moved for a few years. My body is a little stiff. I was just looking for something to do.”
Zhu Gaojin agreed with a smile and did not refuse.
During this seclusion, his cultivation had already recovered to the Golden Core realm, which was enough for him to protect himself. In the short term, he did not have to worry about his lifespan.
Next, he could enjoy himself for a while.
"That's good!"
Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction, then waved his sleeves impatiently.
"Fourth Bro, stay behind. You guys can scram. Remember to bring your wife and children to the palace for dinner tonight.”
"Yes, emperor, this subject will take his leave!"
Eldest Brother and the others hurriedly knelt down and left Yangxin Palace Hall as if they were fleeing.
After walking for a distance, the few of them looked at each other and let out a long sigh. They felt like they had escaped.
Only they knew that their backs were already covered in cold sweat.
Thinking about it, they felt a little lucky.
It was only in their family, if it was a different dynasty, if it was a different royal family, that conversation in Yangxin Palace Hall would have caused many people to lose their heads.
"Third Bro, let's go together!"
"Good!"
"Crown Prince (Boss), see you tonight!”
Second Brother and First Brother didn't get along very well. Third Brother was usually close to Second Brother. After greeting him, the two of them quickly left.
Normally, the two of them would bicker with their boss, but today, they were not in the mood.
"Hey!"
Looking at their backs, the boss shook his head gently, and a bitter smile appeared on his fat face.
He knew that Second Brother had always regarded him as a thorn in his side, but in reality, he really did not want to be the crown prince.
Wasn't it nice to stay by his wife and children's side?!
