At noon the next day.
The emperor returned triumphantly from Zhengyang Gate.
The line stretched for miles.
In the front, the Han King Zhu Gaoxu and Zhao King Zhu Gaosui led the elite Embroidered Uniform Guards. In the middle was the Emperor's carriage, and the soldiers at the back brought up the rear.
The Crown Prince had been waiting for a long time, and just as he was about to step forward to welcome them…something strange happened!
A hundred assassins appeared and used the ignited grass to open a path, successfully attacking the chariot.
Who knew?
The carriage was empty. Zhu Di was nowhere to be seen.
"Not good! We've been tricked!"
The leader was shocked and shouted for his companions to retreat.
At the same time, a dense group of soldiers rushed out from the road. In just a few moments, they had eliminated all the assassins and captured several people alive.
After returning to the palace, Zhu Gaoxu held Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi accountable.
"Big brother, how do you manage the country? He actually let so many assassins sneak in? If I hadn't made the arrangements first, it would be hard to predict father's fate today!”
"I…"
Zhu Gaochi wiped his cold sweat and opened his mouth to speak.
"Big brother, I can't help you this time.”Zhu Gaosui immediately interrupted.
When have you ever helped me? It's already good enough that you didn't cheat me!
Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart.
He had wanted to explain, but he decided against it. After all, this matter had slipped out of his control from the moment the defense was lax.
Moreover, he also understood that Zhu Di's heart was clear.
Zhu Di couldn't be bothered with the quarrels of the three brothers below. He just kept rubbing his forehead.
"Big brother, you're making my head hurt from anger!”Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu took the opportunity to make a fuss.
"Big brother, there are rumors among the people that the assassin was arranged by you to ascend the throne in advance! Of course, I'll definitely stand on your side, but gossip is terrible!”
Zhu Gaosui continued.
The accusation became more and more obvious. Zhu Gaochi did not dare to remain silent. After kneeling down with a thud, he hurriedly cut off all ties with those assassins.
Zhu Di's head hurt even more.
However, it wasn't because he was angry. It was because he drank too much yesterday and was still drunk.
He sized up the kneeling Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Di was very shrewd, so he naturally knew that this matter had nothing to do with Zhu Gaochi.
However, it was still necessary to give him an appropriate beating!
After half a year, Zhu Gaochi was still the same.
He had a kind face and a bloated body. Even when he spoke and walked, he couldn't help but pant.
Zhu Di stood up with his left hand on his waist and his right hand on the dragon chair. He shouted indifferently,"Boss."
"Father." Zhu Gaochi raised his head and replied.
Looking at his eldest son, Zhu Di instantly fell silent.
The moment Zhu Gaochi raised his head, Zhu Le's face appeared in his mind.
Indeed, it was very similar!
Zhu Di's heart softened. He raised his hand and asked Zhu Gaochi to speak.
Zhu Gaochi heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other with question marks on their faces.
What was the old man up to?
Based on their understanding of Zhu Di, even if this matter did not involve the Crown Prince, there would definitely be an appropriate reprimand! Zhu Di's expression just now also explained this point!
But who knew that once Zhu Gaochi raised his head, the old man's heart would soften?
What the hell was this?
The two of them kept slapping Zhu Gaochi's face, as if trying to figure out something.
"What are you looking at? Is your big brother a big girl?”Zhu Di reprimanded when he saw this.
The two kings did not dare to refute and could only keep quiet and bury their heads.
"Where's Zhanji?" Zhu Di asked again.
"This child is leading the Embroidered Uniform Guards to search the entire city for assassins.”Zhu Gaochi replied.
"Yes."
Zhu Di's mood improved slightly.
At least the eldest grandson was more reliable. He knew that his father might be punished, but he was busy capturing the assassin who dared to assassinate the emperor.
The eldest grandson?
Zhu Di fell silent again.
If Le 'er was still alive, she would naturally be the eldest grandson and would be more outstanding than Zhu Zhanji.
Just like that kid from the suburbs of Beijing, Zhu Le…
He compared Zhu Le and Zhu Zhanji in his heart.
Zhu Le was quiet and intelligent.
From the way he felt that he was a little belligerent, it could be seen that this child was benevolent and cared about the people!
As for Zhu Zhanji?
Although he was a little impatient, he knew when to retreat and when to retreat. He did not have any crooked thoughts. It was still acceptable!
Before meeting Zhu Le, Zhu Di was very satisfied with Zhu Zhanji.
But now, it had become passable.
If Zhu Zhanji knew about this, he would definitely vomit blood.
He clearly did not do anything, so why did his status in his grandfather's heart plummet?
Zhu Di was sometimes silent and sometimes deep in thought.
The three brothers looked at each other in confusion.
Why did it feel like something was wrong with the old master today?
"Father, do you want to call the imperial physician?" Zhu Gaoxu asked tentatively.
"Imperial physician? You can't wait for me to die first so that you can quickly fight for the throne with your brother?”Zhu Di glared at him.
Although his words were harsh, the King of Han was not afraid.
After all, Zhu Di used "I" and not "I".
This proved that he was speaking as a father, not an emperor.
Zhu Di didn't give Zhu Gaoxu a chance to reply and continued to curse,"
"Can the three of you make me look at you in a new light?”
"Boss! I'll let you exercise more before you finish your apprenticeship! The Crown Prince needed to be strong and pay attention to his image! Half a year has passed, why are you still like this?”
"Second Brother! Seizing the opportunity to smear Boss 'name, are you a gossipy woman who only knows how to gossip?”
"There's still Third Brother! Can't you talk nicely? It was so strange! Do you want to be a eunuch?"
The three brothers were scolded and were extremely helpless.
The Han King felt that this was not what he had expected.
Wasn't he busy for half a day just to make Zhu Gaochi bear the crime of "dereliction of duty in governing the country"? Why did she become a blabbermouth in the end?
King Zhao's face twitched, but he didn't dare to speak.
He was worried that if he said something wrong, Zhu Di would really turn him into a eunuch.
Zhu Gaochi felt wronged as well.
It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but his constitution was so strong, and he had a lot of work to do, so he didn't have time to move.
After cursing enough, Zhu Di's anger eased a lot.
Compared to the Imperial Palace, he felt more comfortable in Zhu Le's residence.
Thinking of Zhu Le again and looking at his three sons, Zhu Di's anger rose again."From today onwards, the three of you will fish for four hours a day! Train your temper!"
Why fishing?
The three brothers blinked in confusion.
"Get lost!"
Zhu Di waved his hand to chase them away.
The three brothers walked out of the hall and looked at each other. Then, they looked at the hall behind them.
After taking a few steps, Zhu Gaoxu muttered,""What's wrong with the old master today? I've held a knife my entire life, and you want me to go fishing?”
"Something's wrong. Something's wrong with the old master! Something must have happened!" Zhu Gaosui analyzed calmly.
Then, the two of them looked at Zhu Gaochi at the same time.
"Why are you looking at me? The old master has been with you all for the past six months.”Zhu Gaochi was speechless.
The King of Han and the King of Zhao were fine. After all, fishing was just for show.
But what about him?
With this body, it was difficult to even sit and fish!
"Why aren't the three of you getting lost?”Zhu Di's scolding came from behind.
"Dad, we're discussing how to fish!”Zhu Gaochi turned his head and replied loudly.
"That's right, that's right!" The two princes quickly agreed.
