Zhu Gaochi shook his hand and the wine glass spilled directly on the table.
"Look at you!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and picked up the handkerchief and wiped the table, "I told you, what if!"
"..." Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to speak, cold sweat dripped down his face.
The emperor can say this kind of thing. If, as a minister, he really follows the emperor's words, he is seeking death.
At the same time, he suddenly thought of Zhu Zhu entering the palace today, and thought of all the previous events, and his eyes suddenly fell on that...book!
"Tsk, we already said that what we are talking about is gossip, why are you so afraid?" Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Hong Xi, what we are talking about is gossip! I asked you here today just to talk about gossip, and there is no other meaning. You
Yeah, don’t be so suspicious!”
"Yes...hehe..." Zhu Gaochi forced out a smile like a fool.
"Hey, you should know that I'm not the kind of person who likes to rub people, let alone beat around the bush. If I had any thoughts about you or your father, would you still have a good life?" Zhu Yunxi shook his head.
He really didn't mean anything when he called Zhu Gaochi, but it was obvious that the other party was really treating a gentleman with a villain's heart!
"Thank you so much!" Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart, "Thank you so much!"
"It's my fault for asking!" Zhu Yunxi took a sip of wine and continued, "It's impossible for me to choose your father in the first place, right? There are your second uncle and third uncle above me. Both of my uncles have bad tempers.
That’s fine if they can’t choose, if it’s your father! Hey, maybe if the old man takes the lead, the two of them will join forces and fight each other!”
Zhu Gaochi was shocked again, his neck was stiff, he didn't dare to nod or react.
"If, I mean if!" Zhu Yunxi came closer and whispered, "If, just if your father and my fourth uncle were the emperor of our Ming Dynasty, and you were the prince..."
Plop!
Before Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi knelt down directly.
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Gaochi's lips trembled, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, and I will do whatever you ask me to do. Your Majesty, you can say these things, but I dare not listen!"
"There are no outsiders, what are you afraid of?" Zhu Yunxi frowned and helped him up.
Then he patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "Now, I order you to listen to what I have to say and then answer me. If you don't tell me, you are bullying me. Tomorrow, I will let you go to Qiongzhou to bask in the sun!"
"Yes..." Zhu Gaochi grinned, showing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"If your father were the emperor, then you, the eldest son, would be the prince!" Zhu Yunxi asked seriously.
"this....?
"explain!"
Zhu Gaochi said quickly, "Not necessarily!" As he spoke, he swallowed and encouraged himself, "I'm going to risk my life! You asked me to say it!"
Then he said, "Well...my father is not an old man. Who knows what he thinks? The old man must establish a legitimate eldest son, but that may not be the case for others! Besides, the emperor's heart is the most difficult to guess. Do you think so?
no?"
Zhu Yunxi thought about it, "I'll tell you things and make small talk. But you're not allowed to tease me!"
Zhu Gaochi smiled, very honestly, "I don't dare!"
"Suppose your father was the emperor and you were the prince!" Zhu Yunxi asked again, "But, you have brothers. On the surface, you two brothers are very good to you, but you also know that once you take that position,
, brothers are no longer brothers, right?"
Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes, "The second and third sons of the Chen family are actually quite good, and they don't have so many calculations..."
"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi frowned.
"That's what you said!" Zhu Gaochi changed his words, and his face became a little serious, "The imperial grandfather said that even if it is a private share of family property, the sons can beat their heads to pieces, let alone the royal family? People, they are all
Selfish!"
"Well!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, and then asked, "Suppose, if you were the crown prince, and you two brothers secretly set you up with little stumbling blocks to harm you, I wish you... died!"
Zhu Gaochi trembled.
Zhu Yunxi continued, "After you became emperor, they were not convinced. They were convinced that you were soft-hearted and secretly spread rumors that you were unfilial. Then traditional officials made friends with military generals and secretly expanded their troops and made weapons..."
"I damn well know that you are definitely not chatting with me!" Zhu Gaochi wailed in his heart, "Isn't this what those uncles are doing now?"
"Tell me, now that you have become the emperor, what should you do?" After saying that, Zhu Yunxi drank up a glass of wine in one breath.
Then, he looked directly at Zhu Gaochi, waiting for the other party's answer.
"Then we have to... clean it up, clean it up hard, and kill it!" Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth.
"What a cruel method!" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
The fat on Zhu Gaochi's face moved ferociously, "Kill him!"
"Really killed?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
"Kill him to death!" Zhu Gaochi nodded, "Kill him to death!"
"How to do it?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Here's the evidence!" Zhu Yunxi clicked on the thick...book and continued, "Are you going to expose the evidence to the world and ask the guilty questions openly?"
"No, no, no!" Zhu Gaochi shook his head and thought, "Although there is evidence, we can't stop some people from saying that this evidence is a crime made up by the emperor himself! It was made up by the emperor himself in order to kill his relatives." As he said,
Looking at Zhu Yunxi, "It's like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. If he doesn't kill his brother, he will die! He is also helpless! But who understands his painstaking efforts!? They all scolded him bloody!"
Zhu Yunxi also looked at Zhu Gaochi seriously, "I'll say it again, let's talk about the facts. You are not allowed to mix in private information or make insinuations!"
"I'm referring to Sang Shu Huai!" Zhu Gaochi thought to himself, with his trademark honest smile on his face.
"This doesn't work, or it's easy for people to think about it, so what do you think we can do?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
"What if, I say what if!" Zhu Gaochi also drank a glass of wine, "If it is me, I will pretend that there is no evidence of these crimes. Then, I will continue to treat them well and praise them to heaven. And then, wait for them to go to heaven.
Come on, please put the ladder away below!"
"You fell to death!" Zhu Yunxi responded, "Others will then say that they killed themselves!"
Zhu Gaochi nodded, his fat body trembling wildly.
"What if, what if it's not just your own brothers!" Zhu Yunxi asked seriously, "We have so many vassal kings with real power in the Ming Dynasty, but your uncles don't obey you and want to unite to harm you, what should you do?"
"Then how many times have you gained popularity?" Zhu Gaochi thought to himself, "Everyone is against you, don't you reflect on yourself? Are you talking about me, or are you really you?
Don’t you have any ideas in mind?”
"You've just written it on your face that you want to cut off your vassal. You guard against uncles and kings just like you guard against thieves. You kissed your fifth uncle and made everyone feel at risk. How can people like you and be attracted to you?"
But he didn't dare to say this.
"Speak from your heart!" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"There is no reason to talk about power!" Zhu Gaochi sighed, "Since the emperor asked, I will tell the truth. Not only is there no reason to talk about, there is no right or wrong to say, the winner is the king or the loser!"
"If I are the emperor, don't say that they dare not secretly do anything to me. As long as they have power, money and soldiers, it is wrong! They must be repaired! There can only be one emperor in the world, and only the emperor can do it.
Rule the world!"
"To treat them, we must take advantage of the time when their wings are not full and use the power of thunder without leaving any further trouble!" Zhu Gaochi added, "Otherwise, the chaos will harm the people of the world. If it gets too big, it will hurt the vitality of the Ming Dynasty!"
As he spoke, he paused, "However, this is different from killing one's own brother. Between brothers, it is a father's matter. Between uncles and nephews, it is an ancestor's matter. It is still disrespectful to treat a small crime.
It’s the elders’ business!”
"So, you have to have an upright statement and convincing evidence..."
"Here it is!" Zhu Yunxi slapped the thick book on the table, "It's all here!" He said, sighing, "See for yourself, what those uncles and kings have done in these years. Hi,
Bribe the imperial generals with heavy sums of money and mine iron ore privately!"
Having said this, he stared at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Can you tolerate it?"
"I...I'm fooling you! Do you really have to drag me with you?" Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi held his hand and said sincerely, "Hong Xi, I know that sometimes you are very annoyed with me! But, you and I are blood brothers. Who else can I trust besides you?" As he said this, he sighed again.
His tone was, "Actually, sometimes, I really treat you as my brother! I really hope I can have a brother like you to help me!"
