Chapter 37 The Father's Thoughts!

How could Zhu Gaoyu not understand the meaning of Zhu Gaoxu's words.

From the external expression to the meaning of the words, they are all reminding Zhu Gaoyu.

If the eldest nephew becomes the emperor's grandson, the position will be completely settled with his elders. If you don't rebel in the future, you will have no chance at all.

Now you are taking advantage of the fact that the matter has not been settled yet, and the old man is still doting on you, so hurry up and mess up this matter immediately, otherwise you will have no chance in the future.

Thinking about this, Zhu Gaoyu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Who said that my second brother can only fight recklessly and have no IQ, isn't this driving tigers and wolves a game of thieves.

But then again.

The other party was indeed right.

Before Zhu Zhanji was established as the emperor's grandson, Zhu Pangpang's position was actually unstable.

In history, after the death of Empress Xu.

If it weren't for those important ministers to bite the bullet and resist, Zhu Pangpang's own ability is also very outstanding, he knows how to forbear and give way, and live a life of cowardice.

For a prince with average ability, he would have been slandered by Zhu Gaoxu long ago, and he would be overwhelmed.

In this life, it is not that Zhu Gaoxu hasn't made troubles.

However, every time it just started, Empress Xu poured a pot of cold water to cool her heart, and she couldn't make a fuss even if she wanted to.

Zhu Gaosui, who was smiling and good-natured, knew how to judge the situation, and hid behind the whole time, leaving Zhu Gaoxu to charge forward alone, until finally a big one came.

It's a pity that the plan ended before it even started. If it wasn't for that fat big brother of his family who tried desperately to plead for him, he would have been beaten to death by the old man long ago.

In this situation, the boss can't be dealt with for the time being.

The two of them thought that they would endure this slowly first, and when they found an opportunity, they would directly deal a fatal blow to Donggong.

Of course, if the boss can die before then, they will be happier.

But what left them speechless was that the old man seemed to be worried about this, and he directly pulled out his good grandson.

Firstly, it was announced to the outside world that the position was completely set on the elders. You ministers, you don't have to think about where to place your bets.

Secondly, I was also worried that my fat son would suddenly disappear just like my elder brother, causing turmoil in the court.

Thirdly, tell the other three stupid sons, you should go back to the fief honestly, don't bother, the position will not be given to you.

The two guessed what the old man meant, so they were naturally unwilling, but they didn't dare to fight, and they couldn't fight with the boss.

Just at this time, my fourth brother was favored, and the two of them had no strength in their hands, so they decided to let Zhu Gaoyu rush ahead first, to have a fight with the boss, and to find out the old man's background.

The three of them sat in three positions, looked at each other with their eyes, and none of them took up the topic just now.

After a while, Zhu Gaoyu smiled and stood up.

"Hey, the eldest nephew is going to be the grandson of the emperor. This is a great happy event. I have to let the boss treat me later."

The two sitting on the opposite side narrowed their eyes slightly.

Zhu Gaoxu opened his mouth to continue talking, but Zhu Gaosui stood up, echoing with a smile: "The fourth brother is right, if the boss does not treat such a big happy event, it would be a bit unreasonable."

After finishing speaking, he picked his chin, and said with a smile in his eyes: "But our sister-in-law is famous for being picky, so don't get us two more dishes, just throw away a jar of water."

"Ha ha…"

As soon as these words came out, the three brothers really laughed.

In the second year of Yongle, Zhu Pangpang was established as the crown prince. Zhu Gaoxu, who was not elected, was upset, so he took Zhu Gaoyu and Zhu Gaosui to the boss's place to have a drink.

How could that clever princess fail to see that she came here specifically to find fault.

Worried about conflicts after drinking, the newly promoted princess did not ask anyone to prepare wine and meat, but cooked herself and prepared two side dishes.

Really two.

Beans on one plate and beans on the other.

At that time, Zhu Gaoyu's four brothers were dumbfounded.

This sister-in-law is like this, and there is no one else.

If you want to get angry, my sister-in-law did it herself.

There are not many things, but the friendship is strong, and what the sister-in-law said is very polite, so that you can't get angry even if you want to.

Zhu Gaoxu was choked up at the time, and he couldn't get over it for several days.

Since then, the crown princess is a stingy person, and it has been passed on from here.

In fact, all three of them knew that these two plates of beans had profound meanings, but the three of them didn't want to mention it.

Zhu Gaoyu didn't go on the road, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui didn't say anything.

The hook and the others have already been thrown out, it depends on Zhu Gaoyu's consideration.

The three brothers chatted a few more words, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui said goodbye to Zhu Gaoyu and walked outside the palace on the grounds that they were going back to change their clothes and were going to attend the dinner party.

Looking at the backs of the two going away, Zhu Gaoyu didn't know what he thought of, he shook his head with a chuckle, turned around and hummed a little song, and went to the East Palace.

.........

"Fourth brother, don't you have anything to ask?"

When the three brothers were showing their hearts, Empress Xu and the old man walked side by side on the imperial road.

Leaving the class room, the husband and wife did not communicate with each other until they reached the imperial road in front of Fengtian Hall, and Empress Xu opened her mouth.

She knew that the old man was waiting for her explanation, and he didn't take the initiative to ask, because he respected and trusted her as a wife.

Stretching out his hand to hold his wife's catkin, the old man ignored the eunuchs, maids and guards who were saluting around him, and said softly: "You have always supported the boss, why did you suddenly change your mind, did the boss do something that made you feel cold?"

Seeing her husband's puzzled eyes, Empress Xu shook her head slightly.

"No, Gao Chi worked very hard and was very filial. He didn't do anything that made me dissatisfied."

Now the old man was even more puzzled, and asked: "Then why did you agree to let the fourth brother have access to military power? You should understand what this means and what consequences it will bring."

Empress Xu was silent for a while, instead of answering immediately, she looked at the old man and asked, "Then why did you agree again? You know, if you refuse, I will fully support you."

Now it was the old man's turn to be silent.

Let Zhu Gaoyu take control of the military power. In fact, he had decided as early as Zhu Gaoyu proposed that he wanted to go to the West with Zheng He.

Zhu Gaoyu's so-called military power in exchange for his hard work was actually all his own thinking.

In the future Great Ceremony of Nations, no matter what Zhu Gaoyu does, even if it is a piece of shit, the military power will be handed over to him.

Wei Wei raised her hand, followed the eunuch and maid who was behind them and stopped, letting the husband and wife go forward alone.

"Give me a report from Jin Yiwei." After walking for a while, and there was no one around, the old man slowly opened his mouth.

Empress Xu's gaze remained unchanged, she looked at the old man calmly, waiting for what he had to say next.

Taking out the report from his pocket, the old man handed it to Empress Xu.

"It records what Si'er did on the way to the West."

Empress Xu reached out to take it, opened it and looked at it carefully.

The above record is very detailed, no matter how many times Zhu Gaoyu fooled around with two foreign maids, he still remembers it clearly.

"Mobility cannot be changed. The north is our most important enemy, but I can't leave the south alone."

While Empress Xu was looking at the report, the old man slowly talked about his thoughts.

"But once the capital is moved to the north, there is no imperial power to deter the south. It's fine for one generation or two. After a long time, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. There will definitely be troubles."

Speaking of this, the old man looked sad, "If by that time, the northern issue has not been resolved, and there is trouble in the south, my Ming Dynasty will be in mortal danger."

After reading the contents of the report, Empress Xu put it together and handed it back to the old man, and said in a deep thought: "So you need to go to the south alone to deter those people instead of the imperial court."

"Madam who knows me too!"

The old man laughed, put his arms around Empress Xu's shoulders, and patted her ass flatteringly.

Empress Xu scolded and rolled her eyes at the old man.

At such an advanced age, I'm really ashamed to still act like a young man.

The old man didn't care, but the strength in his hands became a little tighter.

The two hugged each other and walked a few steps forward. Then the old man said: "The Mu family are outsiders after all. I can't trust them, so I need someone I can trust to guard the south and the fertile sea for the royal family."

"In the beginning, I chose Gao Xu. He is brave in combat and has rich experience in the battlefield. He is a very good candidate. However, this brat didn't notice my thoughts at all. He just stared at the position under my butt all day long, fighting with the boss."

"Just when I was thinking about whether to change, Si'er stepped forward and took over the burden."

"I don't know what's in his mind, but what he's doing now coincides with my thoughts."

"Actually, his trip to the West with Zheng He is also a test for me."

"What's the result?" Empress Xu raised her eyes to look at the old man.

The old man chuckled when he heard the words, and raised the brocade guard's report in his hand.

"The result is very satisfactory, he gave me a beautiful answer."

After finishing speaking, the old man didn't know what he thought of, and his face immediately smelled bad.

"But some of his behavior makes me very uncomfortable, so I'm going to make him uncomfortable for a few days."

"Hmph, this stinky brat dares to covet my money, and if you don't teach him a lesson, you really don't know how powerful the world is!"
