LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 103
Yongle period.
When Zhu Di saw his two sons fighting to the death for the throne, Zhu Di was heartbroken.
He couldn't help but look at Zhu Gaoxu and said sadly:
"Second child, what are the benefits of being an emperor?"
"Do you think that in order to be the emperor, you don't even care about your brotherhood?"
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu's thoughts were exposed by Heaven, and his face turned red.
Especially after hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Gaoxu's defense was completely broken. He only felt a surge of anger and roared at Zhu Di:
"How did you get your throne?"
"You can grab this throne, why can't I?"
"Of course it is good to be the emperor. Only when I am the emperor, I am the master of the world. I can do whatever I want, otherwise I will always be inferior to my elder brother."
"It was you who promised me to be the crown prince, but now you turn around and teach me?"
"My life is ruined in your hands!!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Zhu Gaoxu was so excited. He didn't expect that his sons had gone to this point for the throne. He instantly felt a fear in his heart. This fear was for his sons' flesh and blood. He was terrified because this was like a cause and effect that would fall on him.
Zhu Di closed his eyes in pain, while Zhu Gaoxu's face was filled with resentment. It was not until a long time later that Zhu Di opened his eyes again and said to Zhu Gaoxu:
"Brother, if you go to Yunnan, you can become a feudal lord."
"Leave tomorrow and don’t stay in the capital anymore!!"
Zhu Di chose Zhu Gaochi after all. He sent Zhu Gaojiu to Yunnan in order to avoid fratricide.
But Zhu Gaojiu said dullly:
"No need for tomorrow, I will leave now and never see you again in this life!!"
Zhu Gaojiu turned around and was about to leave, but Zhu Gaojiu stretched out his hand to hold him back,"Second brother, let's leave tomorrow."
Zhu Gaosui kept winking at Zhu Gaoxu. At this time, only the copper douzi can persuade the golden douzi.
【Zhu Di asked"neutral party" Yang Shiqi about the performance of Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi during his supervision of the country, and Yang Shiqi's answer saved Zhu Gaochi's position as crown prince.】
【Yang Shiqi told Zhu Di that the prince worked hard to handle political affairs during his supervision of the country and could listen to the reasonable opinions of ministers, but he would never casually agree to incorrect opinions. He would refute and criticize inappropriate requests from close ministers in person.】
【This is the most perfect answer. He is diligent in his work and courteous to the virtuous, but he is also able to be gregarious but not cliquey, and keep a distance from his ministers. This is simply the most perfect image of a prince.】
【After Zhu Di heard this answer, he was very satisfied. His face immediately turned gloomy and became very peaceful. He even praised Yang Shiqi repeatedly.】
【With the secret help of Yang Shiqi, the dispute that lasted for ten years in Yongle ended. Although the princelings were hit hard, the princes were warned, and their status was shaken, the situation was finally stabilized.】
【However, the prince still has a long road ahead. As long as Zhu Di does not die for a day, he will continue to be attacked by Zhu Gaoxu until he ascends to the throne or dies on the way.】
【This is also true. Another bigger conspiracy is being planned. For the prince, this will also be the most severe test he has experienced in the 20 years of supervising the country.】
【Under Zhu Gaoxu's continuous false accusations and slanders, Zhu Di did have an opinion about the prince, but he had no thoughts of changing the prince for the time being. The emperor thought this way, but the ministers below did not think so.】
【Seeing Zhu Di reprimanding the prince, many officials who had originally taken refuge with the prince for speculation changed their careers and became Zhu Gaoxu's party members.】
【Because of this, the power of the princelings was severely suppressed, but Yang Shiqi never abandoned the prince. He always protected this person and guarded the prince who seemed to be deposed sooner or later.】
【Soon after, a bigger storm arrives, and the prince and Yang Shiqi will receive a real test】
【In September of the twelfth year of Yongle, Zhu Di returned from his northern border patrol. At that time, the prince and his subordinate officials were ordered to stay in Nanjing. After hearing the news, they immediately sent people to prepare to welcome him.】
【However, Zhu Di returned too hastily and Zhu Gaochi was not well prepared. In addition, Zhu Gaochi and Yang Shiqi were discussing important matters at the time, which resulted in a delay in the arrival. This made the worried Zhu Di very unhappy.】
【Seeing that Zhu Di was angry, Zhu Gaochi felt a little uneasy himself, but in his opinion, the delay in greeting the driver was just a trivial matter, and there should not be any big problems.】
【However, the development of things later greatly exceeded Zhu Gaochi's expectation.】
【After Zhu Di returned to the court, he called Zhu Gaochi and became furious and scolded him.】
【Zhu Gaochi also felt a little aggrieved. Wasn't it just that he was a little late? Why did it become so big?】
【Little did he know that all of this was the result of his good brother. Before this incident, Zhu Gaojiu had been bribing Zhu Di's closest officials to tell them bad things about Zhu Gaochi.】
【Even if Zhu Di didn't believe it at first, over time, no matter how much Zhu Di trusted Zhu Gaochi, he couldn't help but spread rumors for many years, so Zhu Di gradually began to suspect that Zhu Gaochi really had evil intentions.】
【The house leaked and it rained all night. Unexpectedly, when I came back, I encountered the prince's delay in welcoming him. Although this was not a big deal, it turned into a fuse for Zhu Di. In Zhu Di's view, it was the prince's contempt for him. a manifestation of】
【I haven't abdicated yet, so I dare to be so negligent. What will happen in the future?!】
【With Zhu Gaoxu's fueling, things began to turn one-sided. While the prince was severely reprimanded, the main officials of the princeling party, such as Shangshu Jian Yi, Bachelor Huang Huai, and Xima Yang Pu, were all arrested and imprisoned.】
【Almost all of Zhu Gaochi's gang members were wiped out in one fell swoop, and he faced the most dangerous moment since he became the prince.】
【Zhu Gaoji finally seized this opportunity, so he naturally pursued him fiercely, hoping to knock Zhu Gaochi down in one go. 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
【Under Zhu Gaoxu's careful organization, planning and instigation, Zhu Di's anger grew stronger and stronger. Zhu Di had determined that the princelings wanted to die early, and then supported the prince to gain fame.】
【His disappointment in the prince reached its peak, but at this time, Yang Shiqi stood up again】
【Although Zhu Di did not trust other ministers, he always trusted Yang Shiqi. Zhu Di believed that Yang Shiqi was a fair and objective person (Wang Zhao), so Zhu Di summoned Yang Shiqi in this case】
【Zhu Di asked Yang Shiqi a question that was also a matter of life and death. If he answered it well, Zhu Gaochi could still keep his position as prince.】
【If the answer is not good, not only Zhu Gaochi will step down, but even the princelings will probably be killed by Zhu Di.】
【Zhu Di did not make any secrets. He asked Yang Shiqi directly if the prince had second thoughts. Otherwise, why would he violate etiquette and be so slow to pick up the driver?】
【And Yang Shiqi's answer was the same as two years ago. The steady and perfect answer helped Zhu Gaochi get through the most critical difficulty this time.】.......The dividing line..
