My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 178
Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were not stupid, and soon felt that Zhu Zhanhe seemed to hope that they could meet Zhu Yuexiu, which made them look at each other, feeling strange to each other.

Out of trust in Zhu Zhanhe, Zhu Di finally nodded and said: "Okay, the king of Xuan Chongyang County will see you!"

Following Zhu Di's nod, an eunuch rushed away immediately.

Zhu Yuexiu was temporarily placed to live in Xihua Gate, so she soon received the news and followed the eunuch into the palace.

When Zhu Yuexiu stepped into the Wuying Hall, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi also looked at him together.

As a result, Zhu Di suddenly stood up, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

Zhu Gaochi next to him also stared with a pair of slit eyes, since Zhu Zhanhe knew him for so long, it was the first time he saw his eyes so wide.

"Chongyang County King Zhu Yuexiu, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Yuexiu looked anxious, seemed very nervous, and didn't notice anything unusual about Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, so she quickly stepped forward and saluted.

Only then did Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi wake up from the shock. They looked at each other, and then at Zhu Zhanhe. They finally knew why Zhu Zhanhe wanted them to meet Zhu Yuexiu.

"Cough~, don't be too polite!"

After Zhu Di was shocked, he quickly recovered his composure, but he looked at Zhu Yuexiu with suspicion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only then did Zhu Yuexiu stand up straight.

Looking at the other's face that resembled Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi didn't know what to say for a while, and the hall fell into a brief embarrassment.

"Prince Chongyang, Grandpa heard that you were imprisoned by King Gu. He was afraid that you would be frightened, so he specially called you into the palace to inquire."

Zhu Zhanhe hastily smoothed things over.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Although I was imprisoned, King Gu is my uncle after all, so he didn't make things difficult for me."

Zhu Yuexiu hurriedly said to Zhu Di again after hearing the words.

"It's fine if you don't have one. How is your father's health? Do you still like to read books?"

Zhu Di finally looked away from Zhu Yuexiu's face, and asked a random topic.

"Father is in good health. He spends at least two hours a day reading books, and occasionally goes out to gather with literati in Sichuan."

Zhu Yuexiu replied immediately.

"Hehe, your father is really a Shu scholar, but that's good too, if King Gu learns more from your father, he won't end up in the current situation."

Zhu Di first smiled in relief, then sighed.

Zhu Chun, king of Shu, was eager to learn since he was a child, and liked to read and write articles. Even Zhu Yuanzhang called him a "scholar of Shu".

"Uncle Nineteen is indeed guilty of a heinous crime. I dare to ask, how does His Majesty plan to deal with him?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuexiu took the initiative to ask about Zhu Suo's situation.

"How do you think I will deal with him?"

Zhu Di suddenly smiled and asked back.

"This one……"

Zhu Yuexiu hesitated for a moment, and then she opened her mouth to speak.

"I think that although Uncle Nineteen committed the crime of treason, he is the son of the Emperor Taizu and His Majesty's brother after all, so I ask Your Majesty to show mercy and spare Uncle Nineteen's life!"

"Huh? King Gu forced you to pretend to be Emperor Jianwen, and even dragged your father into the water, and now you're pleading for him?"

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuexiu in surprise and asked.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. Uncle Nineteen is my father's younger brother after all, and even though he imprisoned me, he didn't do anything to me. I still think about family affection, so I don't want Uncle Nineteen to be sent away because of this." life!"

Zhu Yuexiu finally gritted her teeth and said again.

The punishment for Zhu Suo had just been issued, and he obviously didn't know that Zhu Suo was just demoted to a commoner.

"You and your father are really similar, both are kind-hearted!"

Zhu Di nodded in praise, and then chatted with Zhu Yuexiu for a few words, and then encouraged him, before letting Zhu Yuexiu go back to rest.

After watching Zhu Yuexiu leave the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhu Zhanhe and asked, "Is this why you let me see him?"

"Grandpa Emperor Qi, when Hu Wei saw King Chongyang for the first time, he was also taken aback. Then he thought of Zhu Wenkui, the son of Emperor Jianwen, whose age was not much different from King Chongyang, so he brought him with him. Go back to the capital."

Zhu Zhanhe immediately spoke the truth.

"This is impossible, Zhu Yuexiu is the son of King Shu, how could he become the son of Emperor Jianwen?"

Zhu Gaochi asked suspiciously when he heard the words, this matter is too unbelievable!

"Go to the clan mansion immediately and bring the clan roster!"

Zhu Di ordered immediately.

After a while, an eunuch sent over the royal roster.

Zhu Di looked through it himself, and Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanhe also came over.

The clan roster not only records the names of every male in the Zhu family, but also the date of birth and other information.

Zhu Di quickly found the names of Zhu Wenkui and Zhu Yuexiu from the list, and immediately said: "Zhu Wenkui was born in the 29th year of Hongwu, and Zhu Yuexiu was born in the 26th year of Hongwu. He is only three years older than Zhu Wenkui!"

"Father, Zhu Yuexiu was born first, so it shouldn't be possible for him to be Zhu Wenkui?"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said that when Zhu Yuexiu was born, there was no Zhu Wenkui, so it should not be the same person.

"That's not necessarily the case. The age on the clan roster is reported by the princes of each family. No one can tell how old the false report is, and even if there is no false report, the original Zhu Yuexiu may be replaced by someone. After all, it is only three years old. Age The bigger it is, the less you can see the difference!"

When Zhu Di spoke, there was a bit of sharpness in his eyes, and he obviously had doubts about the King of Shu.

"This... Uncle Shu Wang can't do such a thing, right?"

Zhu Gaochi frowned when he heard the words. He had a good impression of the King of Shu. Both of them loved books. Before the King of Shu came to the capital, he would send him many treasured books.

"Gao Chi, remember, in our royal family, nothing is impossible!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly and said again.

"But what if Zhu Yuexiu just happened to look like Emperor Jianwen? After all, we are all in the blood of Emperor Taizu, so it's normal to look alike."

Zhu Gaochi still didn't want to believe this, he always felt it was too bizarre.

"Grandpa, in fact, what uncle said is also reasonable. Just based on the appearance of King Chongyang, we cannot be sure that he is Zhu Wenkui, let alone doubt the King of Shu because of this. We'd better discuss this matter in a long-term way!"

At this time, Zhu Zhanhe also spoke to persuade him that he was afraid that Zhu Di would kill Zhu Yuexiu without asking indiscriminately because of his impulsiveness. If the other party really had nothing to do with Zhu Yunqi, he would die too unjustly.

Hearing Zhu Zhanhe's words, Zhu Di finally calmed down. After all, the King of Shu is his own brother. Before there is any solid evidence, he can doubt them, but he can't convict them at will.
