Seeing the heartbroken Zhu Gaoxu, the crown prince Zhu Zhanhe's desire to seek justice for his father became even stronger.
"Father, you should report this matter to Grandpa Huang." Zhu Zhanhe said angrily.
"No matter what, we are all a family. My father does not want to cause discord between the prince and the emperor because of this matter. Although the emperor has turned a deaf ear to my father and even exiled him to this barren Le'an Prefecture, but
In my father's heart, he is still thinking about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty and the sufferings of the common people in the world. The emperor and the prince are at peace with each other. If there is no war in the Ming Dynasty, the common people will have a peaceful life. However, as
The emperor's second prince is guarding this small place and cannot contribute to the Ming Dynasty. My father feels very ashamed."
As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head, with a helpless expression on his face.
Zhu Zhanhe, who had been growing up in the palace and was busy taking medicine to recuperate his body all day long, did not know what Zhu Gaoxu really meant. He instantly felt very aggrieved that Zhu Gaoxu was full of ambitions but could not be reused by the emperor.
"Grandpa Huang is now in charge of hunting activities in Huailaiwei. When he comes back, the child will go to Beijing and tell Grandpa Huang about his father's grievances." Zhu Zhanhe said in a low voice.
"You are not in good health, so don't get too involved in these affairs of the court. Take good care of yourself, and do your part for the Ming Dynasty as our Zhu family should do, and be worthy of the name Zhu."
Glancing at his "sensible" son, Zhu Gaoxu said lightly.
"The child will not speak ill of the prince in front of the emperor, but the child will still tactfully convey the regret of the father who is full of ambitions but cannot contribute to the country."
"After the hunting, you can go to the capital to see the emperor. Although the emperor does not want to see my father, he still likes you as his grandson. The emperor is old. If you are not busy, you can spend more time with the emperor in the capital. By the way,
The imperial doctor will take care of your health again." Zhu Gaoxu said.
"Children, please obey your father's orders." Zhu Zhanhe clasped his fists as a salute.
In his mind, his father Zhu Gaoxu was a man who wholeheartedly worked for the court, but he was framed by Dongchang and ended up in this situation.
When you see Grandpa Huang, you must listen to your father's good words so that he can serve the imperial court. At the same time, use all your strength to completely eradicate this cancer in Dongchang.
"Your Majesty." A voice came, and the guard Zhang Jinbao changed into a personal guard's outfit and walked into the garden.
This brand new guard uniform, coupled with the specially made saber at the waist, made the whole person feel much more energetic in an instant.
"Oh." Zhu Gaoxu turned around and looked at him with a smile: "Have all the luggage been moved?"
"Back to the prince, I don't have much luggage to pack. I just have a few changes of clothes and have already moved them to the palace." Zhang Jinbao said with a respectful expression, holding his fists.
"Okay, let's go and meet that strange man who scolded me at the door." With that said, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace.
Zhu Zhanhe said a little worriedly: "Father, do you really want to see that person?"
Hearing his son's words, Zhu Gaoxu stopped and looked at Zhu Zhanhe with a kind face: "Those who have achieved great things in ancient times have always taken advantage of the right time, the right place, and the right people. My father has missed the right time, let alone the right place.
, all we can do now is to work hard to make concessions to others. It is better to believe that he has it than to believe that he does not have it. How much talent the other party has, my father can only know it if he goes to meet him."
"But I'm worried that the other party is just a wanderer, cheating me out of food and drink, and deceiving my father to make his trip in vain," Zhu Zhanhe said.
"If he is really just cheating people out of food and drink, it means that he lacks food and drink. Since he cannot do anything for the court, giving a full meal to a man who lacks food and drink is not solving the sufferings of the people for the Ming Dynasty? Besides,
During these days, my father has stayed in the Han Dynasty Palace for too long, so I should go out to get some fresh air and relax," Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.
"Father, take care." Looking at Zhu Gaoxu's empty right arm, Zhu Zhanhe was still a little worried.
In fact, he didn't say what he was really worried about. What he was worried about was that this was just a ploy by Dongchang to lure his father out, and then it would be unfavorable.
However, with Dongchang's current situation in power, he has cut off his father's right hand, so he should not do such dirty things again.
"Well," Zhu Gaoxu nodded, walked back, and gently patted Zhu Zhanhe's shoulder with his left hand: "I have been taking good care of myself in the palace these days. The emperor will come back from Huailai Guard in a few days. You have to
Coming to Beijing."
Zhu Gaoxu said in a meaningful voice.
"Yes, I understand, kid." Zhu Zhanhe replied softly, standing on the other side and quietly watching Zhu Gaoxu slowly walk out of the gate of the palace accompanied by his guards.
When Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han Dynasty, chose the address of his palace in Le'an Prefecture, he specifically chose this most prosperous street. Later, as his reputation for violence spread, the residents and merchants on the street quietly moved for their own personal safety.
moved away from this street.
And now those who are left are either those who are unable to move, or those who live in chaos. Anyway, they have lived their lives in a miserable way, and they are not afraid of any sudden natural or man-made disasters.
The streets that used to be extremely bustling are now deserted.
Even so, occasionally you will encounter a few people walking in a hurry, walking back and forth on the street.
There are farmers getting up late to go to the fields, small vendors selling goods on the street, and even groups of people with nothing to do, gathering together and gossiping about trivial things that have nothing to do with them.
Only the shops on the street were mostly closed and there was no commercial atmosphere at all.
"I remember that this street used to be full of shops and very lively. Why are so many shops closed now? Is Le'an Prefecture's economy so depressed now?" Looking at both sides of the street, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but talk to himself.
road.
Zhang Jinbao, who is behind you, certainly knows the real reason for all this. However, how dare he directly say that this is all caused by your cruel name.
However, as a guard of the palace, if you are unaware of changes in the surrounding environment, you may not be a qualified guard of the palace.
What's more, now that I am the prince's personal guard, I not only have to protect the other person's personal safety at all times, but also give him satisfactory answers to the prince's questions.
"When Dongchang committed the murder in Wangfu, it had already disturbed the residents on the street. Most of the merchants and residents were afraid that Dongchang's people would cause trouble again, so they had already moved away with their families." After thinking for a long time, Zhang Jinbao just thought.
This is the only reasonable explanation.
However, he forgot that cutting off his right hand was a great shame and humiliation for Han King Zhu Gaoxu.
This sentence had unintentionally touched the nerve in Zhu Gaoxu's heart.
