Zhu Di stared.
That angry look frightened the palace people!
Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand impatiently, signaling for all the palace people to leave!
In such a large dormitory, only the father and son were left at the moment.
Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaoxu.
"Treason!"
"You traitor!"
"Ah, yes..." Zhu Gaoxu replied, "I am a traitor!"
"If you hadn't been mean, unkind, sensitive and suspicious back then, how could my elder brother Zhu Gaochi have died?"
"Unless my eldest brother dies, I will not compete with Zhu Zhanji for the throne to protect myself, nor will I cause the following incidents!"
Zhu Di: "???"
Mean and unkind?
Sensitive and suspicious?
Is all your brother's death your fault?
"Asshole!"
Zhu Di overturned the tea cup on the table.
"If you hadn't had ulterior motives back then, how could I have misunderstood your elder brother?"
"Your eldest brother's death is all because of you, a rebellious son!"
"Haha..." Zhu Gaoxu said with a sneer, "What did I do? I left the center of the court and went to Peking to develop industry and commerce!"
"Who is to blame? Don't you, Emperor Yongle, still have a clear idea in your heart?"
Zhu Gaoxu was also completely enraged. He cursed everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.
"When we launched an army to quell the crisis, you told me personally that the prince is very ill, so you should encourage him!"
"Do you still remember this sentence? It is precisely because of this sentence that I had thoughts that I shouldn't have. Even if my eldest brother was appointed as the prince, I have always coveted the throne and always wanted to replace him!"
Zhu Di's face turned cold, and he was extremely angry.
However, Zhu Gaoxu didn't seem to see it and continued to vent angrily.
"At that time, I was focused on fighting with my elder brother and trying to replace him."
"What are you, Emperor Yongle, doing? You clearly know what I am thinking, and you also know the little tricks that Lao San and I did secretly, but what did you do?"
"Not only did they not directly force us to go to the fiefdom, but they comforted us gently, and from time to time they even gave us rewards to suppress the power of the princelings. What kind of imperial tricks are we playing!"
Zhu Gaoxu sneered and said: "It is your actions that make me feel that you really want to canonize me as the prince. The reason why you chose the eldest son is just because of the patriarchal etiquette and to ease the conflicts in the court!"
"In this way, it only fueled the arrogance of me, the Prince of Han. I joined the party to suppress dissidents and rejected those who were dissident. I framed the good and the good and committed all kinds of evil. The reason why I, the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, made those big mistakes back then, you, Emperor Yongle, have an unshirkable responsibility! "
Zhu Di looked pale and looked at Zhu Gaoxu in disbelief.
However, before he could speak, Zhu Gaoxu's voice continued to sound.
"After that, there was the Northern Expedition to Mongolia, and then I was assassinated when I returned to the capital. It was precisely because of that assassination that I almost lost my life. I suddenly realized that you left me and Lao San in the capital from the beginning, right? Why do you want to give me, Zhu Gaoxu, a chance? It’s not that you are more optimistic about me, the second prince, but you just want me and the third child to follow you in the Northern Expedition!"
"That's not the case..." Zhu Di panicked and hurriedly explained.
But Zhu Gaoxu did not give him a chance to explain.
"From the beginning, you only regarded Lao San and I as tool men. What happened after that further confirmed my suspicion."
"You want me to be the sword in the hands of the prince, the boss, to clear all obstacles for him and assist him in running the government, right?"
"When I understood this, I gave up the fight for the throne and focused on going to Yunnan to become a vassal. I made many requests, but what did you do?"
"During the Second Northern Expedition, you left me to supervise the country. It seemed that you gave me a chance, but you just wanted me to eradicate those corrupt officials for the boss. The boss is the prince and the heir apparent, and I am just the prince of Han Dynasty. There are many things I The King of Han can do it, but the Prince, the boss, cannot do it, right?"
"During the period of supervising the country, I killed so many corrupt officials and implemented so many new policies. It can be said that I paved all the roads for the prince, the boss. Then I galloped thousands of miles to the grassland and risked my life. Saved Zhu Zhanji!"
"I told you at that time that I really wanted to join the feudal clan, and I really no longer had any desire to seize the throne!"
"But you just don't want to let me go!"
Zhu Gaoxu's face was filled with sadness.
"Kill the corrupt officials and let the King of Han do it!"
"Implement various new policies and let the King of Han do it!"
"Go to the Northern Expedition to Mongolia and kill the enemy. Let the King of Han do it!"
"As the King of Han, haven't I done enough for the Ming Dynasty?"
"I, Zhu Gaoxu, have offended all the civil and military gentry of the entire dynasty. Do I deserve it all?"
"I don't want this position of crown prince in the first place. You, Zhu Di, don't have to give it to me, and you, Zhu Di, can give it to anyone!"
"But don't say anything, Zhu Di. This is what Zhu Zhanji gave to me. This is what you, Zhu Di, gave me as a favor!"
"Do you really think I care about this position?"
After saying these harsh words, Zhu Gaoxu stood up and left.
Zhu Di looked pale and sat blankly on the soft couch.
When Zhu Gaoxu came to the door, he called in a panic: "Second brother!"
Zhu Gaoxu didn't look back, just said the last few words, and then walked away.
"Zhu Di, you have never been a good father, whether it is to eldest brother or to me!"
"Since you care about your great grandson so much, then call him back to be the emperor. I have done enough for the Ming Dynasty."
"Second brother..."
Looking at Zhu Gaoxu's back, Zhu Di stood up in a panic and chased after him.
However, Zhu Gaoxu never looked back at him, even if Zhu Di fell to the ground in a hurry.
"His Majesty!"
Little Nose was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhu Di up.
Zhu Di pushed him away and urged: "Go quickly! Stop the prince!"
He didn't know what the second child wanted to do, but he had a hunch that he might lose a son again!
"Quickly stop the prince!"
"Go quickly!"
Little Nose was a little panicked and could only run after Zhu Gaoxu.
However, after Zhu Gaoxu quickly returned to the East Palace, he called his grandson Zhu Zhanhe to give some instructions, and then left the East Palace with Concubine Wei and his children.
Inside the carriage.
Concubine Wei looked at Zhu Gaoxu uneasily.
"Your Highness, where are we going?"
"Go out and relax!"
Zhu Gaoxu forced a smile.
He really didn't want to see Zhu Di again.
This old guy has tricked Zhu Gaoxu all his life!
Zhu Gaoxu also served as his toolman for the rest of his life!
Whatever happens with love, he really doesn’t want to care about it now!
If you have this free time, why not take your wife and children out for a trip and see the great mountains and rivers!
The news of the prince's escape instantly caused an uproar.
Jian Yi, Xie Jin, Xia Yuanji and other court ministers immediately went to the palace to ask for an interview.
They vaguely realized that this matter must be related to the North American Zhu Zhanji.
However, His Majesty the Emperor saw no one and locked himself in the palace.
Zhu Di leaned on the soft couch with a bitter look on his face, tears streaking across his eyes from time to time.
"A loner!"
"I'm alone!"
