early morning.
After breakfast, Emperor Taizong Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty prepared to visit Yingtian Mansion in the Hongwu Dynasty.
At this time, the Yongle Dynasty had the grandson Zhu Zhanji supervising the country, and the prince Zhu Gaochi was also thrown into the army by him.
He had specifically told the British Duke Zhang Fu that if Prince Zhu Gaochi was still so fat after one month, he would not be spared.
Unexpectedly, just a few steps out of Prince Yan's Mansion, Prince Zhu Biao walked towards him and said with a smile:
"Fourth, how was your rest at Prince Yan's Mansion?"
"Father said last night that there was a Hongyi cannon in the back of the [History of the Ming Dynasty], and the forging method of the Crouching Tiger Cannon. I asked Gu Te to remind you."
While talking, Prince Zhu Biao naturally supported Ming Taizong Zhu Di and walked forward.
Zhu Di, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, remembered that his father was angry yesterday because of the artillery incident. He suddenly realized and said with a wry smile:
"Brother, that's what it is."
"Every time I read [History of the Ming Dynasty], I get a splitting headache. I never imagined that the later emperors of the Ming Dynasty would be so ridiculous."
"I didn't notice that there was a forging method for the Hongyi cannon at the back. No wonder my father was angry."
Speaking of the later emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Zhu Biao was also filled with emotions and said slowly:
"Fourth brother, if you look at the past dynasties, have you ever seen a wise king? Even in the Han and Tang dynasties, there were such faint kings as Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ao, and Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Min."
When Ming Taizong Zhu Di heard this, he nodded and said regretfully:
"It's a pity that they haven't joined the group yet, especially Ming Shizong Zhu Houcong, who dared to change my temple name without permission!"
Thinking of his temple name, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di's face suddenly filled with an uncontrollable smile.
Prince Zhu Biao saw this and reminded:
"Fourth brother, you must not be careless and imitate Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty."
"By the way, is Gao Chi in Shuntian Mansion now? Bring him over by the way. Gu and my father want some spiritual springs."
Zhu Di, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, shook his head. Except for Gao Yan, the fourth son of Youshang, he only had three sons. He wished that they could be like him and his eldest brother.
Dear brothers and sisters!
How could he imitate Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and kill his own son?
However, when talking about "Renzong" who had been in power for ten months, Ming Taizong Zhu Di's expression suddenly changed and he said:
"Brother, don't waste your father's points. I have already thrown him into the military camp."
"You don't know, he usually needs help to walk."
Prince Zhu Biao smiled and joked:
"Speaking of which, fourth child, you are not as good as Gao Chi. Counting Zhan Ji, Gao Chi has ten sons, but you only have three."
Gradually, the two of them walked farther and farther away, and their voices became smaller and smaller:
"I heard from my father that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty often made fun of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty over the issue of his heirloom. Is it true?"
"Brother, you don't know that Song Taizong reprimanded Song Gaozong many times, probably because he thought he had lost the face of the Song Dynasty."
…
The Yongle plane of the Ming Dynasty.
Prince Zhao's Mansion.
King Zhao Zhu Gaosui was lying on the bed with Princess Zhao Weng in his arms, sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from far away:
"Who are you! How dare you break into the palace!"
"Go away! Believe it or not, I will chop off your head with a sword!"
…
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was in a daze when he heard the movement outside, opened his eyes and stood up.
He casually put on some clothes, opened the door aggressively, and cursed angrily:
"Who dares to act arrogantly in this palace!"
"Believe it or not, this king will punish you..."
Suddenly, the voice of King Zhao Zhu Gaosui stopped abruptly. He looked at the people surrounded by guards in disbelief and said in surprise:
"Second brother?!!"
"How did you come?"
Han Wang Zhu Gaosui raised his head, glanced at Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, and said lightly:
"Third brother, you have become more capable. These guards don't even recognize me anymore?"
"Or do you think you don't have me as your second brother in your heart?"
Suddenly, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui's expression changed. After strictly ordering the guards not to tell the story, he pulled Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu into an empty room.
After listening at the window for a while, he whispered:
"Second brother, you are confused!"
"How dare you return to Shuntian Mansion so openly? Aren't you afraid that my father will arrest you and send you to prison?"
"The boss has fallen out of favor now. He was thrown into the military camp by his father. Zhu Zhanji, a wolf cub, is in charge of the country. Just in case..."
King Zhu Gaoxu of Han yawned, looked very proud, and said with a smile:
"Third brother, do you think I came back secretly? Then you guessed wrong. It was my father who summoned me back!"
"Hurry and help my second brother prepare hot water, wine and food. After receiving the imperial edict, I rushed back to Shuntian Mansion day and night."
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui looked carefully and found that his second brother's dusty life did not seem to be a joke.
He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered people to bring hot water and prepare wine and food.
Since the fifteenth year of Yongle, Han King Zhu Gaoxu was forced to surrender, and he had been staying in Shuntian Mansion, the two brothers had never seen each other again.
Thinking again that the boss Zhu Gaochi was sent to the military camp and the grandson Zhu Zhanji supervised the country, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but get excited.
Could it be that they still have a chance?
…
After a while.
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, drank the wine in one gulp, grinned, and joked:
"Third brother, don't blame the second brother for talking about you. Is it time to change the guards in your house? Don't you even recognize me anymore?"
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui said with a bitter smile:
"Second brother, don't mention it, I have already replaced a group of guards."
Upon hearing this, King Zhu Gaosui of Han hugged King Zhao Zhu Gaosui and said with a smile:
"Third brother, you, you can't achieve great things by yourself, why not help me, the second brother, after that, the world will belong to us two!"
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui's eyelids twitched, he stood up quickly, went to the window, looked around, and after making sure that no one was there, he whispered:
"Second brother, you are crazy!"
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, looked at his third brother's cautious appearance and burst into laughter and said:
"Third brother, I haven't seen you for so long, why have you lost your courage?"
"Is it possible that it's just because of what happened last year? Rebellion is not that simple. You should follow me, second brother, from now on."
As soon as he mentioned the incident last year, King Zhao Zhu Gaosui had a gloomy face and said harshly:
"If Wang Yu hadn't betrayed me, how could I have failed!"
Last year, while His Majesty was seriously ill, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui sent Meng Xian and others to collude with Huang Yan, the Supervisor of Rites, to poison him, assassinate Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Di, and forge a posthumous edict.
He deposed Prince Zhu Gaochi and made him emperor, but his success fell short because Prince Zhao's palace guarded Wang Yu!
It was also because of this incident that the guards of the Zhao Mansion, along with Meng Xian and others, were all killed, and he almost ended up under house arrest.
Immediately, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui asked cautiously:
"Second brother, how confident are you this time? How many soldiers and horses have you brought to Shuntian Mansion?"
King Zhu Gaoxu of Han stretched out his finger, shook it, and said with a smile on his face:
"Soldiers and horses? This king has no soldiers and horses."
"Guess why my father suddenly called me back to Shuntian Mansion? And sent the boss to the military camp?"
"This must be a plan to make me the crown prince! What other troops do you need to bring?"
When Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui heard this, he was stunned and said in a strange tone:
"Second brother, are you kidding?"
