My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 69 Zhu Gaoxu's Dream Journey
Wenhua Palace, the office of the Prince of Ming Dynasty.

Every time Zhu Zhanhe came to Wenhua Hall to see Zhu Gaochi, the other party's posture hardly changed, either reading memorials or approving official documents.

Batch after batch of official documents on the desk came, and it seemed that they could never finish reviewing, but there was only one person behind the desk.

Zhu Zhanhe stepped into the main hall, Zhu Gaochi was also very happy to see him, immediately put down the memorial in his hand and asked: "Didn't you accompany your grandpa to the bookstore? How is it? Is your grandpa satisfied?"

"Satisfied, Grandpa Huang was happy, and said that he would print two hundred copies, and all the expenses would be paid for by the people in the palace!"

Zhu Zhanhe sat down opposite Zhu Gaochi with a smile and said.

"That's great. Nenu pays, so I don't have to worry about arguing with the household department."

Zhu Gaochi laughed when he heard the words, as long as the money problem is solved, more than half of the problems will be solved.

"Uncle, how did you see the Three Kingdoms that I sent you last time? Do you have any insights?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked again.

"I haven't finished it yet, I've only read half of it now."

Zhu Gaochi said regretfully.

"Haven't you finished watching it for so long?"

Zhu Zhanhe couldn't believe it, he watched it three times in just a few days last time.

"I want to read it too, but I really don't have time. There are so many official documents waiting to be processed, so I can't leave them alone, can I?"

When Zhu Gaochi said this, he suddenly smiled complacently, and continued.

"However, recently I came up with a good idea. Every day when I go swimming, I have someone read it to me next to me. I can use it for two purposes. I guess I can finish it in a few days."

Zhu Zhanhe was speechless for a while after hearing this, he had only heard of the use of breaking time in half before, but today he finally saw something alive.

"Uncle, do you know that there is a country named Daqin in the Far West?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"I know, it was mentioned in the Book of Later Han that the envoys sent by the Great Qin Dynasty arrived in Luoyang and sent many gifts."

Zhu Gaochi nodded. He is familiar with history books and is also very interested in some anecdotes.

"The real country name of Daqin should be Rome, and before Rome, there was an ancient country called Greece. This country has many interesting myths and stories. Do you want to hear it, uncle?"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly asked again.

"Where did you know this?"

Zhu Gaochi was very surprised.

"I heard it from a foreign businessman, uncle, can you listen?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked again.

"Listen! It's rare that you're in the mood to tell a story."

Zhu Gaochi finally nodded.

"In ancient Greek mythology, there was a man named Sisyphus, who was a king, but because he offended the gods, the gods punished him to push a boulder to the top of the mountain, but the boulder was too heavy, and he failed every time. At the top of the mountain, the boulder rolled down, so he could only push the stone up the mountain again and again, watch the stone roll down again and again, and repeat this endless punishment forever."

At the end of Zhu Zhanhe's speech, he reached out and patted the official documents and memorials in front of Zhu Gaochi.

In his opinion, these are the boulders that Zhu Gaochi pushes every day.

"I see, this is making fun of me!"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly came to his senses, and immediately looked at Zhu Zhanhe helplessly.

"I don't dare to make fun of uncle, but with so many official documents in front of you, I feel tired just looking at them, don't you feel tired?"

Zhu Zhanhe also showed admiration when he said this, anyway, if it was him, he would definitely go crazy after a few days.

"Tired, why don't you be tired, but no matter how tired you are, you have to persevere. Who made me the prince, this is my duty!"

Zhu Gaochi sighed at the end.

The first prince of Ming Dynasty was Zhu Gaochi's uncle Zhu Biao, who died before he succeeded to the throne.

The second prince was Zhu Wenkui, the son of Zhu Yunqi. Needless to say, he failed to inherit the throne.

Zhu Gaochi was the third prince, so he was often worried, would he die before he succeeded, like the previous two princes?

"Even if it's a duty, there's no need to risk your life. After all, the body is the foundation."

Zhu Zhanhe persuaded again.

"Actually, it's much better now, especially since your eldest brother is sensible and knows to share some affairs for me."

When Zhu Gaochi said this, his eyes lit up suddenly when he looked at Zhu Zhanhe and said, "Why don't you come and help me with some affairs?"

"I can't!"

Zhu Zhanhe waved his hands repeatedly.

"Don't be humble, if you can't do it, no one will do it!"

However, Zhu Gaochi was very optimistic about Zhu Zhanhe. He didn't expect that if Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe were to help him together, it would be much easier for him.

"No, I can't, but I think my dad can!"

Zhu Zhanhe hastily pushed out Zhu Gaoxu's shield.

"Don't be kidding, let's not talk about whether your father can sit still, even if he can sit still, why would he be willing to help me?"

Zhu Gaochi laughed at himself at the end. Zhu Gaoxu was someone who was looking forward to his early death. The only bottom line was that he would not do it himself.

"I didn't ask my father to help you, but I asked you to give him the crown prince's power!"

Zhu Zhanhe finally revealed the purpose of finding Zhu Gaochi.

"what!"

Zhu Gaochi was dumbfounded, and after a while he said again in disbelief: "Say it again!"

"I want you to give up the power of the crown prince to my father, but don't worry, it's only temporary!"

Zhu Zhanhe knew that Zhu Gaochi would react in this way, so he explained again.

"Okay, I understand. It turns out that you are an undercover agent sent by your father, and you are fighting for my seat to help your father in the end!"

Zhu Gaochi didn't listen at all, and slapped the table angrily.

It was in vain that he liked Zhu Zhanhe so much, and even treated him as his own son, but he didn't expect that he had ulterior motives in getting close to him.

"Uncle, calm down, even if I want to fight for my father's seat, there's no need to ask you directly, right?"

Zhu Zhanhe explained dumbfoundingly.

"Who knows what your father and son are planning?"

Zhu Gaochi said again angrily.

"You grew up with my father, and you should know his temperament best. You said it yourself just now, my father is a person who can't sit still. You really think that if you let him sit in your seat, you will be able to do it right away." The crown prince?"

Zhu Zhanhe finally asked back.

This really caught Zhu Gaochi. Although he was still angry, his sanity was slowly recovering.

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi was silent for a while, he raised his head and asked, "What are you planning?"

"Let me tell you directly, before I came to see you, I have already met Grandpa Huang, and talked to him about my father and your situation..."

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi had finally calmed down, Zhu Zhanhe explained in detail how he went to see Zhu Di and the reasons for the quarrel between his parents.

"Grandpa Huang has already agreed, as long as you nod, uncle, my father can have a dream come true, but in my opinion, this dream will only turn into his nightmare in the end."

Zhu Zhanhe was very frank at the end, anyway, that's all he had in mind, and whether he agrees or not depends on Zhu Gaochi's words.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was also deep in thought, and finally frowned and said, "What if your father makes this dream a sweet one?"

"Do you believe this yourself?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked directly.

Zhu Gaochi didn't believe it either, the brothers used to study together, if Zhu Gaoxu could sit quietly for a quarter of an hour, everyone would think he was sick.

The gentleman who taught them to read had been pissed off by Zhu Gaoxu, and some young ones even cried on the spot.

In the end Yao Guangxiao personally taught them, but Zhu Gaoxu still refused to change after repeated admonitions. Others may not have seen Yao Guangxiao scolding mothers, but Zhu Gaochi has seen it more than once.

Thinking of Zhu Gaoxu sitting in his position honestly, reviewing memorials and official documents day after day, Zhu Gaochi suddenly wanted to laugh, he couldn't even imagine this scene in his dreams.

"Don't tell me, just thinking about it, I still have some expectations!"

Zhu Gaochi reached out and stroked his beard and said to himself.

"It's right to look forward to it. I look forward to it even more than you. How about we just settle this matter?"

Zhu Zhanhe was ecstatic and burst into speech.

"Wait a minute, what if your father can't do it and refuses to hand over the power in the end?"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly asked with a worried expression. It was about the power in his hands, so he had to be cautious.

"You are the real prince. My father is only temporarily replacing you for a period of time. His name is not right and his name is not right. Then he will take back the power in his hands. That is what my grandpa said."

When Zhu Zhanhe said this, he suddenly leaned in front of Zhu Gaochi and said very sincerely.

"It just so happens that you can also take advantage of this time to take a good rest and take care of your body. It would be even better if you can lose some fat."

Zhu Gaochi was also moved again when he heard the words. To be honest, sometimes he really feels physically and mentally exhausted. He really wants to put everything aside and lie down and do nothing. Now there is an opportunity in front of him.

But thinking of handing over the power in his hands, Zhu Gaochi hesitated, what if Zhu Gaoxu performed better than himself?Although this possibility is almost non-existent, everything is afraid of an accident.

Seeing Zhu Gaochi's hesitation, Zhu Zhanhe decided to try harder, so he said again: "Uncle, don't you always hope that brothers and friends will be respectful, that brothers will support each other and be close?"

"What do you mean, you want to persuade your grandpa to give me a younger brother?"

Zhu Gaochi was weighing the pros and cons in his mind, but he didn't react for a while.

"No, if my father wakes up and realizes that he is not the material to be a prince, then the conflict between you will disappear. Although my father has a bad temper, at least he is much stronger than my third uncle's insidious temper. "

Zhu Zhanhe chuckled, if Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu were united, how would Zhu Gaosui's reaction be?
The above words finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I promise you!"

　There are three more chapters today, and there will be chapters at noon and evening. By the way, I would like to ask for a recommendation for collection.
