Chapter 289 Zhu Gaojie: Whatever the wind is, go with the wind!
Zhu Di felt a little tangled in his heart. Facing such a powerful Zhu Gaojie, although he was very unconvinced, he had no way to defend himself.
Killing someone, but also killing your heart?
Seeing the old man's demeanor, Zhu Gaojie said seriously: "Dad, no matter what happens to you in the future, you have to discuss it with me in advance. You said that you quietly cleaned up the East Factory this time, and maybe you will do it again next time.
While I'm not paying attention to the entire West Factory, how can I ask the people in the East Palace to do things? People who don't know may think that we are at odds with each other."
Zhu Di raised his forehead and said: "Don't call me daddy. You are my daddy. I am also an emperor after all. Instead, you discipline me."
Zhu Gaojie said Lingran: "It's all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. It's not shabby."
"Shameful, damn shabby!"
Zhu Di said, "Every time something happens, you use the phrase 'It's all for the Ming Dynasty' as a shield, making me look like a fool. Everything I do is wrong, and everything you do is right?"
The father was suppressed by his son, and the emperor was suppressed by the prince. The old man felt extremely depressed, and naturally he would not give Zhu Gaojie a good look.
Zhu Gaojie smiled and said: "Dad, think about it from another angle. Every time you take a small step back, you are helping Ming take a big step forward. Wouldn't it be more comfortable if you think about it this way?"
As he spoke, he had already retreated quietly, preparing to sneak away.
Zhu Di thought about it again, and it seemed that this was really the case, and sighed: "Well, if it is for the Ming Dynasty, let alone let me take one step back, even if it is ten thousand steps back, so what if I sacrifice my life?"
but……"
The old man quickly came back to his senses. How could he be fooled so easily? "What do you mean, I can't do anything as good as you?!"
However, he woke up too late. By the time he reacted, Zhu Gaojie had already retreated to the main entrance of the hall, and ran away without hesitation, shouting: "The East Palace is busy with affairs, I will take my leave first!"
"You little bastard, just stand there!"
Zhu Di was furious. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to chase after him. However, the actions of the waning old man were no match for those of a young man in his prime. In an instant, the prince disappeared.
"Damn it, why did our old Zhu family have such a 'Zhu Paopao'!"
Zhu Di laughed and scolded, "You traitor, don't let me catch you, otherwise I will have to whip your ass into eight pieces with a riding crop!"
Even so, his tone was full of doting.
Zhu Di now loves this son from the bottom of his heart, who is also the fourth eldest son in the family. In his heart, Zhu Gaojie is no longer just the first heir to the Ming Dynasty, but the rising new emperor.
Zhu Di was not one to listen to advice. If someone else dared to tell him that he wanted to use a knife on Dongchang, he would never agree even if it made sense.
[The intimacy with Zhu Gaojie has been improved.]
[The current intimacy between Zhu Gaojie and you is: 20]
Zhu Di's expression became quite exciting. He didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.
Although the criterion for "intimacy level 20" is only "ordinary friends", this is already very hard-won. You know, his initial intimacy level with Zhu Gaojie was "-50"!
This damn thing is about to catch up with the enemy of life and death!
After four years of unremitting efforts, Zhu Di finally got this intimacy level back. He is now very confident and feels that he may be able to raise this intimacy level to above "60" in his lifetime!
Zhu Di said with emotion: "The ancients did not deceive me. As the saying goes, as long as you work hard, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle. Under my rays of light, even the stone Lao Si is gradually melting."
The most important thing is: every time the intimacy value with Zhu Gaojia increases by 10 points, he will get an opportunity to simulate Zhu Gaojia.
It's just that it was too difficult to increase intimacy with this kid, and he almost forgot about it.
Compared with the illusory simulation, Zhu Di cared more about the warm time he and Zhu Gaojie spent together.
He knew that he was half buried in the soil and had only a few years to live, but in Zhu Gaojie's body, he felt the long-lost family affection.
It's just that the warmth he has never felt since Queen Xu left makes him feel that he is not only the Yongle Emperor sitting on the cold throne, but also a father.
A kind and reliable father.
…
Zhu Gaojie walked out of the main entrance of Qianqing Palace and looked up. Even though it was late at night, the stars were shining brightly and were as bright as day.
He stood at the highest point of the steps, with his back against the towering palace. The oncoming night wind was a little cool, but his heart became increasingly calm.
The past life and the present life are like the moon in a flower in the mirror, the reality is like a dream, and the reality is like a dream. After experiencing the game of life and death over thousands of mountains and rivers, whether it is an army on the battlefield, or a party fighting for politics as fiercely as a tiger, it has finally come through.
From the carefree and comfortable King Qi to the crown prince who forges swords for the Ming Dynasty and is unparalleled in the world, he has never taken a step back, and those enemies who have made things difficult for him have now become his steps to the top of the mountain.
Zhu Gaojie smiled calmly: "The most beautiful thing in the world is the success of the king and the defeat of the enemy."
He strode forward without any worries from then on.
The night is slightly cool, how is the wind? Go with the wind!
…
To the north of Jiayuguan, there is no Cishan Mountain either.
The King of Han, wearing mountain armor, was riding on a horse, holding the reins in his hands. He looked up and looked forward. The black mountains were the same color as the night. In the vast desert, there were only endless ridges.
He glanced behind him and saw that following him were over 10,000 troops drawn from the Liaodong Army, all of whom were elite border troops. At this moment, these tens of thousands of Liaodong elites were all obeying his orders, and they would fight wherever he asked.
.
Zhu Gaojie did not break his promise. After the King of Han helped him cut vassals and change them into fiefdoms, and was stabbed in the back by all the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaojie really asked the King of Han to re-establish vassals.
Moreover, he is a vassal with military power. He now has tens of thousands of elites under his command, and he can expand his territory unscrupulously and do what he wants.

King Han couldn't be happy now. He looked gloomy and cursed, "I know this beast is full of bad intentions and has no good intentions. My fucking brains were bitten by a dog and I believed his nonsense. What kind of bullshit brotherly love is this?
The beast's abacus made a slap in the face, asking me to take the blame for him and offending all the sects, and now he wants me to work for him in vain!"
Prince Han, who was full of ambition and passion, finally realized something was wrong after arriving in Xingdusi, Shaanxi Province.
King Qi... No, he should be called the prince now. Can the prince be willing to grant him the title of Shaanxi Xingdu Si?
Shaanxi Xingdusi, based in Ganzhou, manages the Hexi Corridor west of the Yellow River in Gansu and the Hehuang area. Like the Dusi and Xingdusi in other regions, the predecessor of Shaanxi Xingdusi was Duwei - Xi'an, which only existed for fourteen months.
Xingduwei.
Shaanxi Xingdusi was the most important military town of the Ming Dynasty. After the comprehensive recovery of Northeast China, the Ming Dynasty's military center of gravity also moved from Liaodong to Shaanxi Xingdusi.
If the King of Han vassalized Shaanxi Xingdusi, it would be tantamount to directly becoming the military marshal of the Ming Dynasty. Soldiers and horses gathered wherever he pointed his sword. However, he knew that this was impossible. Even if Zhu Gaojie was willing to do it with his head burned,
It is impossible for the old man to agree.
In fact, the further north he went, the more the King of Han felt that something was wrong. He had already reached Jiayuguan!
Going further north is outside the Pass, which does not belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Where is my fiefdom?!
There is no way that this beast, the Fourth, would set my fiefdom in the Tatar territory, and the Tatars would not agree to it either!
Facts have proved that the King of Han underestimated Zhu Gaojie's evil intentions. This beast actually set his fiefdom outside the customs.
Yibuci Mountain to the north of Jiayuguan is the fiefdom of the King of Han.
The King of Han did not have a fiefdom. His fiefdom had to be conquered by himself. Wherever he conquered it, that was his fiefdom. Starting from this desert, it can be said that he was the most ridiculous vassal king since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
He suddenly remembered that when he left Beijing, the bastard Zhu Gaojie patted him on the shoulder and said: "Second brother! I believe in you, start your journey, you will become the most glorious vassal king in the Ming Dynasty.
, leave your own chapter in history!"
At that time, the King of Han was still a little excited and happy, but now he thinks that he has been treated like a monkey.
Inside the pass and outside the pass are two concepts. The hundreds of thousands of Ming troops south of Jiayuguan are watching him from behind, guarding against him. As long as he dares to retreat and want to return to the Ming Dynasty, those hundreds of thousands of Ming troops will not hesitate.
The dispatch of troops wiped him out.
At this point, he had no way out. He could only bite the bullet and head north to compete with the Tatars for territory.
The King of Han burst into tears: "Zhu Gaojie, this beast! If you don't deserve to be a son of a man, why don't you just catch me and trap me alone?"
He took a long breath and took one last look behind him.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers, and it is the majestic Jiayuguan Pass.
"I'll be back, just wait."
"I will return with thousands of troops!"
The King of Han still did not give up. He still felt that he still had a chance to touch the vast sea of stars that he dreamed of.
…
Jiangxi, Prince Gan's Mansion.
Dressed in white robes, Yang Pu stepped into the palace and spent three years in Zhao Prison. He was a fellow inmate with Xie Xueshi and was finally released after serving his sentence, and was able to return to his lord Zhu Gaochi.
He was once one of the "Three Yangs" in the cabinet, and he was as famous as Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi. The three of them were originally capable generals under Zhu Gaochi, and they were all "former princelings" overtly and covertly.
But later Yang Rong took the lead in rebelling and joined the Qi King Party. Later, Qi King Zhu Gaojie soared to the sky and became the crown prince. Yang Rong, his right-hand man, naturally followed suit. Now there are no three Yangs in the cabinet to speak of, only Yang Ge, the elder in the cabinet.
One person is strong.
And Yang Shiqi also suffered a setback in his official career because of his involvement in the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji's attempt to cause chaos. Although it improved after joining Zhu Gaojie's command, he could only barely survive.
After all, he voted too late and missed the best opportunity. Although his talent is no less than that of Yang Rong, he is also lucky. Once he misses the opportunity, he can never look back.
However, no matter how bad Yang Shiqi's life was, he was still a seventh-grade inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Among the three Yangs, who had the worst life, it was Yang Pu who turned into a white man immediately after being released from prison.
Yang Pu spent three years in prison. What he was waiting for was not the rise to fame after he was released from prison. No one cared about him, a hero who spent three years in prison for the former princeling, because the original princeling had already been reduced to the king of Gan when Zhu Gaochi was demoted.
The whole army was wiped out.
He gambled his career, only to find that his future was dark.
However, Yang Pu did not give up. He was full of confidence in Zhu Gaochi. Even if Zhu Gaochi was reduced to the king of Gan, he felt that his boss was just waiting for the opportunity to recharge his batteries. Therefore, after being released from prison, Yang Pu rushed to Ganzhou without stopping.
Come to ask your boss for help.
Although he is white now, he has assisted Zhu Gaochi for more than ten years, so he is also very respected in the Prince of Gan's palace. After revealing his identity, he entered the palace without being blocked, and naturally met the current King of Gan, Zhu Gaochi.
In the courtyard of Prince Gan's Mansion, there was a stone table. In front of the table, two old men were playing chess slowly. Under the warm sunshine, the silver-gray hair of the two old men was particularly conspicuous.
Yang Pu originally wanted to step forward and ask these two unknown old men about the prince...well, where the Prince of Gan was, but he suddenly felt that the two people in front of him looked familiar.
After he rubbed his eyes to confirm that he had seen correctly, he felt dumbfounded.
These two old men playing chess are none other than the King of Gan, Zhu Gaochi, and the Crown Prince of Gan, Zhu Zhanji!
Zhu Gaochi didn't change much, he just turned gray. His physical condition was already extremely bad. After reaching this age, he was damaged by a disaster. I'm afraid he lost a lot of life, but his appearance is not much.
Too big a discrepancy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for Zhu Zhanji, Yang Pu almost didn't recognize him.
The last time he saw Zhu Zhanji was when he was not in prison in the twelfth year of Yongle.
At that time, Zhu Zhanji was still the high-spirited Crown Prince, a vigorous young man. Every move of his hands and feet exuded the vitality of a young man, and how arrogant and arrogant he was.
However, in just three years, he seemed to have gone through countless tribulations. The knives of time had left indelible marks on his body. His original long black hair had been rendered into a silvery white full of twilight, and his eyes were blank.
God, no matter how hard it is to see the vitality of a young man, he looks older than his father wherever he sits.
"Hey, when did Mr. Yang get out of prison?"
Noticing that there was someone around him, Zhu Zhanji, who was playing a game with his father, glanced at it and said perfunctorily, "If I had known that Mr. Yang was coming, I should have gone out to greet him. But in recent days, I have always been sleepy, and I only have two or three meals a day."
I was sober all the time, but I got confused and forgot about this matter. I really shouldn’t have, and I hope Mr. Yang can forgive me.”
As he spoke, he seemed to have made a wrong move and regretted it quietly.
Zhu Gaochi on the opposite side just smiled slightly and said nothing when his opponent regretted his move.
When Yang Pu saw this, he said in a trembling voice: "Great Grandson, how could this happen in just three years?"
He really couldn't believe that three years could change a person so much, so much that he felt as if he had not been in jail for three years, but in jail for thirty years, and after he came out, the whole world would be different.
A strange feeling.
Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and said: "I am still a great-grandson now. I am the eldest son of the Prince of Gan. Mr. Yang had better pay attention to his words."
Yang Pu was completely silent this time. He was speechless for a long time, looking up at the sky, feeling so sad in his heart.
I have only been in Zhao Prison for three years. It seems like the Ming Dynasty has perished.
