"Oh? That grandson of mine, Gao Xi, is actually this amazing? As brave as Boren (Chang Yuchun)? This is really my great fortune!"
"Kid Fang, what achievements did our grandson Gao Xi have?”
"Tell our Old Zhu everything!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had always been brooding over Chang Yuchun's early death.
Now that he heard that he had a grandson who was comparable to Chang Yuchun, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He stroked his beard and asked with a smile.
Zhu Di didn't care that Fang Yunfei called him " Old Four ", he pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
"Zhu Gaoxi has too many achievements. I'll just mention a few famous ones.”
Fang Yunfei took a sip of water and recalled the historical materials he had read.
"After the King of Yan raised his army, Zhu Gaoxi had always been the vanguard of the Yan army, taking on the most difficult position.”
"In the Battle of Baigou River in the second year of Jianwen, Zhu Gaoxi led over a hundred elite cavalry to take the head of the enemy general in the midst of a 500,000 strong army and beheaded the Governor Zhai Neng and his son.”
"In the twelfth month of that year, the Yan army was defeated in Dongchang. General Zhang Yu of the Yan army died in battle, and the King of Yan was surrounded. Zhu Gaoxi led his army to defeat the imperial army and rescued the King of Yan.”
"In the fourth year of Jianwen, the King of Yan was defeated by the imperial army at Puzikou and was once again surrounded. This time, it was Zhu Gaoxu who led the army to rescue the King of Yan.”
"There are many similar cases of people rescuing their masters alone. It could be said that without Zhu Gaoxi, the King of Yan would have died on the battlefield, let alone ascend to the throne.”
After hearing Zhu Gaoxi's battle record, Zhu Di was both happy and guilty.
He was happy because from Fang Yunfei's description, his second son was indeed unstoppable and was a fierce general in the world.
Why was it the Battle of Jingnan again?
Don't you know how to speak if you don't mention the Battle of Jingnan?
Zhu Biao's expression was also very complicated.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang remained calm.
First of all, Old Fourth won't be the emperor anymore. Old Zhu will just listen to stories about the Battle of Jingnan.
Secondly, Zhu Gaoxi was indeed like Boren!
Back then, Boren had also saved him from danger many times, just like how Gao Xi had saved Fourth Brother.
My Great Ming Imperial Clan has another valiant general. It's really worthy of celebration!
"No wonder little brat Fang said Gao Xi is as brave as Fourth Brother.”
"Presumably, not long after, my Great Ming will have another King Sai.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head and slammed the table.
"Your son thanks Imperial Father!"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Di's face lit up.
She had thought that her father would be unhappy after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, not only did his father not get angry, he even promised to let his second son become King Sai.
Although Gao Xi might become a vassal far away from Beiping in the future, it was still an infinite honor to have two princes!
Who among his brothers could compare to him?
Unfortunately, Second Brother, Third Brother, and Fifth Brother were not here.
Otherwise, this king really wants to see how jealous they will be when they know this news!
"Your Majesty, Gao Xi is indeed like the King of Yan, but it is not because he is brave and good at fighting.”
Just as Zhu Di was happily planning his own little abacus, Fang Yunfei suddenly interrupted.
"Oh? Kid Fang, why was Gao Xi said to be like the fourth brother in the history books?”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.
Just by listening to Fang Yunfei's description, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Gaoxi's grandson was simply a martial arts strengthened version of the fourth brother.
But why did Fang brat say that Gao Xi was like Fourth Brother not because he was brave and good at fighting?
Under the gaze of Zhu Yuanzhang and the other two, Fang Yunfei poured himself a cup of tea."The reason why Zhu Gaoxi is the most similar to the King of Yan is naturally because he also rebelled against his nephew like the King of Yan!”
"What is it? Gao Xi also rebelled?"
Zhu Di suddenly stood up, feeling his mind go blank.
"Fourth brother, don't panic. Let's hear what Mr. Fang has to say first."
Seeing Zhu Di's shocked expression, Zhu Biao comforted him.
To be honest, the Crown Prince was also very surprised.
Originally, the rebellion of a vassal king was extremely unusual, but Fourth Brother and Gao Xi's nephew successively raised an army to revolt as a vassal king.
And it was all because of his nephew!
Could it be that the rebellion…
Was it hereditary?
"Gao Xi rebelled too? I don't think it succeeded, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
He remembered Fang Yunfei saying that Zhu Di was the only vassal king in history who had successfully rebelled and seized power.
Since that was the case, Zhu Gaoxi definitely did not succeed.
He just didn't know how Zhu Zhanji, his great-grandson, would deal with his uncle.
"Your Majesty is wise. Zhu Gaoxi did not succeed in his rebellion.”
"Zhu Gaoxi surrendered as soon as the imperial court's army entered his fief.”
Hearing that the uncle and nephew did not fight, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Biao heaved a sigh of relief.
Leave a line, so that we can meet again in the future.
They were all from the Zhu family. Even if their bones were broken, their tendons were still connected.
Since there was no blood, things were easy to handle.
"Mr. Fang, then…then what happened to Gao Xi? Would he be banished to the ranks of commoners or imprisoned in Fengyang to guard the imperial mausoleum?”
Zhu Di asked carefully.
There were only two outcomes for a vassal king to rebel. One was to overthrow the current emperor and become the emperor himself, or to bear the price of rebellion after failure.
Therefore, Zhu Di never thought that Zhu Gaoxi could continue to be his prince after his rebellion failed.
Being demoted to a commoner or guarding the imperial mausoleum was already his guess since the uncle and nephew did not really fight.
"Uh…Zhu Gaoxi didn't end up that well. He was burned alive by his nephew, Emperor Xuan De, and his sons were all killed.”
Fang Yunfei told him the true fate of Zhu Gaoxi in history.
Thud!
Zhu Di fell to the ground.
He wouldn't know the pain unless he was hit by the board.
At this moment, he finally understood why his father was so furious when he heard that he had raised an army to rebel.
The taste of flesh and blood killing each other…
How uncomfortable!
