Zhu Gaochi's expression turned serious. He knew that Zhu Di was really angry.
Then, he told her everything he knew and added fuel to the fire.
"Father, I really can't take it anymore. If this continues, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me to fulfill my filial piety to you.”
After saying that, Zhu Gaochi cupped his hands.
Zhu Di looked a little embarrassed.
"Um, Crown Prince, it's not that I want you to supervise the country, but look at the Second and Third Brothers. They're just boorish people.”
"If we really let them manage the country, they will probably kill all the ministers in the court.”
Zhu Di looked at him helplessly.
It meant that your father had no choice but to think highly of you.
If it was the previous Zhu Gaochi, he might have believed these words. Now, how could he not understand Zhu Di's thoughts?
The second and third brothers might not be able to do it, but you must not mention yourself!
Looking at the shameless Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi had an idea and immediately knelt down again.
"Father! Son, I don't want to die!"
Fine, since you're all shameless, then I'm shameless too. Anyway, it's not embarrassing for a son to kneel to his father. Let's see what you can do.
As he spoke, he started crying.
Zhu Di was dumbfounded.'Aren't you forcing me?'
"Get up. What are you saying? How could you die?”
Zhu Di looked at him with a straight face.
"I won't get up, Father. If you don't take over, I won't get up. Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well let you chop me down.”
Zhu Gaochi shook his head. He had made up his mind. If Zhu Di did not relent, he would not get up.
"Well, didn't I just let you supervise the country? Why did it involve life and death? I've never seen you shout like this before.”
Zhu Di looked at him speechlessly.
"Father, it's different now. Right now, you, Second Brother, and Third Brother are all cultivating immortal techniques. Only I'm busy here. How can I have the time to cultivate? Isn't this asking me to die?”
Hearing this, Zhu Di felt a little awkward.
Looking at Zhu Gaochi who was still kneeling, he sighed and knew that his little plan was useless.
"Sigh, get up."
Zhu Gaochi carefully raised his head and sized him up.
"Get up. How can a son die before his father?”
Zhu Di saw that he was unmoved and scolded him with a smile.
Zhu Gaochi understood what he meant and stood up with a silly smile.
"Sigh, let's make this clear first. We'll take turns. My life isn't as long as yours.”
Without waiting for Zhu Gaochi to be happy, Zhu Di said this again, which immediately stunned Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Di looked at him disdainfully. Your father is still your father.
"Oh right, how is Zhan Jue doing recently?”
Suddenly, he asked Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi's face sank when he mentioned Zhu Zhanyi. Zhu Di also felt that something was wrong.
"Not long ago, Zhan Jue ran into a group of assassins in Ye Ru's palace.”
Before Zhu Gaochi could finish, Zhu Di slammed the table.
"What? Is he alright? What are those Embroidered Uniform Guards doing? How could they let someone run into an assassin?”
How important was Zhu Zhan Xin? The Zhu family's future was all entrusted to him.
Before Zhu Di went into seclusion, for the safety of Zhu Zhanxin, he had specially transferred his secret guards over. He did not expect such a thing to actually happen.
After a while, Zhu Di slowly calmed down.
"How is he?"
"Everything is fine. Those assassins were killed by him.”
Hmm? Upon hearing this, Zhu Di was stunned for a moment before he reacted. As an Immortal, it was normal for Zhu Zhan Xin to have one or two methods to protect himself.
"Humph, a bunch of good-for-nothings, actually letting Zhanjiu take action.”
In his view, it was one thing for Zhu Zhanyu to have the ability, and another for those Brocade Guards to not be competent.
If something happened, what was the use of having them if they couldn't handle it?
"Father, calm down, calm down. You can't blame those Embroidered Uniform Guards for this.”
Zhu Gaochi quickly persuaded.
Then, he told her how Zhu Zhan Xin had snuck into the Imperial Palace.
When Zhu Di heard that Zhu Zhanxin had stepped on a flying sword and entered, he was instantly shocked. He thought that Zhu Zhanxin had already become an immortal.
However, after Zhu Gaochi's explanation, he finally understood what was going on.
"Hmm, in that case, we really can't blame them.”
Zhu Di lay on the bed and rubbed his fingers.
"But it's true that they didn't do their job well. I'll let them off for now, considering that Zhan Shi is fine.”
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes.
"Then we'll feed them all to the pigs!"
Zhu Gaochi nodded.
Although he was kind, he was also worried about his son. Naturally, he would not say anything about this matter.
"Oh right, how are Second and Third? Did you cause any trouble when I was in seclusion?”
Zhu Di looked at him and asked. He was most worried that the two of them would cause trouble. They were the most restless in the entire Ming Dynasty, and they were his sons.
This gave him a headache.
Speaking of this, Zhu Gaochi chuckled.
"Father, second brother, third brother and the others are very well-behaved.”
This situation was exactly what Zhu Gaochi was most willing to see. The three brothers had gone through so much hardship together to get to where they were today.
Their feelings for each other were not just words, but ever since Zhu Di registered his succession, their relationship had become subtle.
Especially after he became the Crown Prince, the three of them seemed to have become irreconcilable enemies.
Zhu Gaochi had a headache over this. It couldn't be helped. Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne had been like this. It was common to step on one's own brother to ascend.
Unless he gave up the position of Crown Prince, but was that possible?
Some things cannot be decided by you alone. If he were to give up the throne, he might be able to live because of his old relationship.
But what about those old officials and students who followed him?
Second and Third would let them go.
Therefore, sometimes, even if he wanted to do this, his subordinates would not agree. Even if they had to lift him up, they would still lift him up.
But now, it was different. Ever since Zhan Chen passed down the immortal technique, their relationship had slowly improved.
"Yes, Zhanli is a good grandson!”
Zhu Di could not help but sigh when he heard this.
Successor had always been a headache for him, but after Zhu Zhan Xin passed on the immortal technique, everything was resolved, and there was no movement.
This was also one of the reasons why he cared so much about Zhu Zhan Xin. They were both his sons, and he was not willing to see any child suffer.
"Alright, you can go down first. Don't talk about me coming out of seclusion for the time being. I'll see how those people react first.”
Zhu Di reminded.
Zhu Gaochi nodded.
