My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 19 Zhang Fu Has Unruly Hearts?
"You eavesdropped on our previous conversation?"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard Zhu Zhanhe's words, his face darkened and he asked.

He doesn't like his family meddling in his affairs, not even Zhu Zhanhe, because in his opinion, Zhu Zhanhe is just an ignorant child.

"Don't be angry, the Duke of England is in danger now, if you let him stand by your side again, I'm afraid both of you will be in bad luck!"

Zhu Zhanhe once again solemnly advised.

"Zhang Fu can't protect himself? What do you mean?"

Zhu Gaoxu froze for a moment, then asked eagerly.

"Father, let's talk in another place!"

Zhu Zhanhe pointed to the street where people come and go, they just sent Zhu Gaosui away, the gate is not a place to talk.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and immediately took Zhu Zhanhe back to the mansion, but instead of going to the main hall, he went to his study.

But when he entered the study, Zhu Zhanhe curled his lips inwardly. He saw only a few military books on the shelves of the study, and all kinds of weapons were placed in other places. The bows and arrows alone filled the entire wall.

Among them, the most conspicuous ones are the nine sets of armor placed under the right wall. These armors are old in style, and the armor leaves are covered with scars from knives and axes. The heart shield of the middle armor is cracked into several pieces. , the entire armor almost fell apart.

Where is this study?It's an arsenal at all!
"Father, did you ever wear these armors?"

Zhu Zhanhe stepped forward curiously, looked at the armor in the middle and asked.

"That's right, these are the armors I wore during the Jingnan period, and the middle one was worn during the Baigouhe period. It was the most dangerous battle in my life. Qu Neng and his son are both good archers. I alone He was hit by more than a dozen arrows, luckily all of them were blocked by this pair of armor."

Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to caress the broken armor, with a look of memory on his face.

"Then how did the breastplate on the chest break?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked curiously again.

The heart guard is made of a whole piece of iron, the strongest, and is used to protect the heart's vitals. Generally speaking, even if the armor is broken, the heart guard will be fine.

"In that battle, I beheaded Qu Neng and his son, but all three of them were famous for their bravery, especially Qu Neng's second son, Qu Tao, who was over ten feet tall and powerful. He was good at wielding a gourd hammer. No one can beat him, at that time I hit him with a hammer in the chest, and then I killed him, but I also vomited three liters of blood because of it, and it took a long time to recuperate before I recovered!"

When Zhu Gaoxu talked about his experience on the battlefield, his eyes burst out with infinite brilliance. Like Zhu Di, he is a war madman. Only on the battlefield can he feel the meaning of his existence.

Zhu Zhanhe also gasped when he heard this, although he didn't witness the battle with his own eyes, but from the broken heart mirror in front of him, he could also feel the danger of Zhu Gaoxu at that time.

"Okay, let's not talk about these old things, why do you say that Zhang Fu can't protect himself now?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned to the topic again and asked.

"Father, you must know Weigong Li Jing, right?"

Zhu Zhanhe didn't ask any direct questions, but asked again.

It's not that Zhu Zhanhe likes to go round and round, but Zhu Gaoxu's brain is stubborn. It's not easy to persuade him, so he must pay attention to methods and strategies.

"Of course I know, Li Jing uses his troops like a god, and has never lost a single defeat in his life. Duke Wei's Art of War is also my favorite military book!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

"That's right, Li Jing is known as the military god of the Tang Dynasty. He used troops in Nanping and Xiaoxian, and destroyed the Turks in the north. He used troops for the last time and destroyed Tuyuhun in two months. But since then, there have been wars in the Tang Dynasty again, but Emperor Taizong never let him go. Commander, why is this?"

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said persuasively.

"Who doesn't know that, Li Shimin is afraid of Li Jing's achievements, so he dare not use him again!"

Zhu Gaoxu replied without thinking, he has always compared himself to Li Shimin, and he has also done some understanding of Li Shimin's life and deeds.

"It is precisely this principle, and thanks to the fact that the emperor at that time was Li Shimin, otherwise Li Jing might not have had a good death."

Zhu Zhanhe praised.

"Wait, didn't you want to talk about Zhang Fu? How did you involve Li Jing and Li Shimin?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked puzzledly, apparently he still hadn't reacted.

"Although the meritorious service of the Duke of England is not as good as that of Li Jing, the situation of the two is somewhat similar. He conquered Jiaozhi four times, and this year he finally pacified Jiaozhi. Jiaozhi is far to the southeast, and he has a heavy army in his hands. If you are the emperor's grandfather, Will you be wary of Zhang Fu?"

Zhu Zhanhe finally told Zhang Fu's current situation.

"No way, your grandpa shouldn't be so narrow-minded!"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head in denial, but his tone was somewhat hesitant.

"I'm not afraid that there will be no good things, but I'm afraid that there will be no good people. Grandpa Huang may not have such thoughts at first, but now someone has secretly reported to him that the Duke of England has evil intentions in Annan, and may even become king on his own. Do you think Grandpa Huang will be suspicious?" ?”

"Who is so bold to slander important court officials behind their backs?"

Zhu Gaoxu slapped the table hard and said angrily.

"Procurement envoy Ma Qi!"

Zhu Zhanhe stopped making rounds and told the whistleblower directly.

This Ma Qi is an eunuch, who was sent by Zhu Di to Jiaozhi as a procurement envoy. He said it was a procurement, but in fact it was similar to a military supervisor.

And just when Zhang Fu put down the Jiaozhi rebellion, Ma Qi informed Zhu Di that Zhang Fu had recruited local natives in Jiaozhi to join the army.

You must know that the generals who lead the army generally only have the right to command, but not the right to recruit troops. If they recruit troops without authorization, they may be suspected of secretly cultivating their own power, so it is one of the taboos in the army.

It turned out that in history, it was because of Ma Qi's informant that Zhang Fu was recalled. As a result, Jiaozhi continued to rebel again, and finally caused Daming to give up Jiaozhi, which was finally defeated.

Therefore, many people in later generations regret that if Daming allowed Zhang Fu to guard Jiaozhi, maybe Jiaozhi would have been incorporated into the territory of the Central Plains long ago.

"It's these eunuchs again!"

Zhu Gaoxu was furious when he heard the words. Based on his understanding of Zhang Fu, it was absolutely impossible for him to betray Daming, let alone say something wrong!

"Wait, I haven't heard any news about such a confidential matter, how do you know?"

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly reacted and asked.

"I... I overheard it from the young master."

Zhu Zhanhe was very quick-witted, and directly brought Yao Guangxiao out to block the arrows. Anyway, it is impossible for Zhu Gaoxu to go to Yao Guangxiao for verification of such a confidential matter.

"It turns out that the young master is in charge of the military situation. If a bastard like Ma Qi wants to report it, he must go through the young master's hands."

Zhu Gaoxu had no doubts anymore, thinking of his old friend being framed, he walked back and forth in the study several times in anger, and finally stopped suddenly.

"No, I can't just watch Zhang Fu being framed!"

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he was about to go out, Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Father, what are you going to do?"

"Go to your third uncle to discuss it. He has a lot of ideas, and he will definitely come up with a solution!"

Zhu Gaoxu replied with a natural face.

"Why don't you understand? The third uncle must have known about Zhang Fu's denunciation for a long time. He asked you to write a letter to Zhang Fu just to kill two birds with one stone. That is to aggravate Zhang Fu's charges and bring you down!"

Zhu Zhanhe explained earnestly.

"Impossible, you also said that this is a secret, the third child must not know, he just persuaded me to win Zhang Fu out of good intentions, it is not as dirty as you imagined!"

Zhu Gaoxu was very stubborn, and he didn't believe that Zhu Gaosui would cheat himself.

Zhu Zhanhe also smiled wryly to himself, it seems that he underestimated Zhu Gaoxu's trust in Zhu Gaosui.

But it's normal to think about it. They are brothers, one mother, and they grew up together. The relationship must be very deep, and it is definitely not something that can be disintegrated by just a few words.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanhe immediately changed his words: "Okay, maybe I'm thinking too much, but Dad, you don't have to go to Third Uncle, I can find a solution myself!"
