Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 30 Two Idiots

"Yes, it seems urgent."

Zhu Gaosui looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

On this snowy day, Zhu Gaoxu just wore an undershirt and looked like nothing happened.

I feel a chill just looking at it.

Sure enough, the second brother is still the second brother, and his physique is already very strong.

Compared with Zhu Gaoxu, I am still far behind.

"What exactly is it?"

The former Jinyiwei commander Ji Gang was executed for treason, and his position as commander fell into the hands of Zhu Gaosui.

In the entire Yingtian Prefecture, except for some Jinyiwei, the vast majority of the rest obeyed Zhu Gaosui's orders.

Its channels for obtaining information are also the most extensive.

Zhu Gaosui smiled.

"Second brother, the old man asked us to go to the palace to meet him."

"What exactly it is, I really don't know."

He knew a thing or two about what was going on in Yingtian Prefecture.

But he knew nothing about what was going on in the palace, as Zhu Di held power in the palace very tightly.

They were not given any chance to intervene, and he did not dare to intervene.

After all, it is not a good thing to secretly investigate the news of the palace and speculate on the emperor's intentions. He estimated that there were many spies planted by Zhu Di around him.

Zhu Gaoxu used his strong arms to embrace Zhu Gaosui.

The powerful force made it impossible for Zhu Gaosui to break free, and he could only let Zhu Gaoxu manipulate him like a chick.

"I say, Third Brother, how come you don't even know this little bit of news? Why are you still the commander of the Imperial Guards?"

"To put it bluntly, the old man doesn't consider you as his confidant."

"He trusts Zhu Wei, who is beside him, more than you." Zhu Gaoxu said in a low voice while holding Zhu Gaosui in his arms. "If you ask me, it's the boss' fault. He must be the one gossiping about you behind your back. Otherwise, why would Dad not use you?"

"Every time my father went north, he relied on the intelligence gathered by your secret agents from the Southern Pacification Division. It's really disheartening that you are still being guarded against for such a great achievement."

Zhu Gaosui's face was still filled with a kind smile, he just bent his waist with his neck pressed against Zhu Gaoxu's armpit.

Perhaps because Zhu Gaoxu often sweated from practicing martial arts, there was a strong smell in his armpits, but he had to endure it.

He couldn't defeat Zhu Gaoxu, nor could he break free.

But he didn't dare to gossip about it.

Fortunately, several personal maids had already brought court robes, which were also embroidered with Qilin.

Zhu Gaosui seized the opportunity and said quickly: "Second brother, the old man is still waiting to see us, you should get dressed quickly."

"Don't be negligent. You know the old man's temper. If we are late, you and I will be scolded."

The third brother looked very cunning and didn't respond.

Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to let go. The moment he let go, Zhu Gaosui took a deep breath.

The smell is so strong, especially on a cold day.

If it were a very hot day, the smell would be unimaginable, but perhaps it was because I had not marched enough in recent years.

During the Jingnan Campaign, people were used to this taste.

After Zhu Gaoxu put on his clothes, he did not stay for long, even though Zhu Gaosui was very cunning.

But he's also right.

If you go late, no matter what happens, you will definitely be scolded.

Zhu Di's words were sharp and often hit their sore spots, so it would be better for them to go to the palace as soon as possible.

……

In the palace.

The study room.

"Your Majesty, the two princes are here."

Little Sniffle reported in a low voice.

Zhu Di sat next to the stove, reading memorials by the firelight. The door and windows were closed, so it was naturally dark.

However, Zhu Di didn't seem to hear the sound of Little Snot.

Seeing this, Little Nose had to raise his voice slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the two princes are here."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di did not put down the memorial, and said calmly: "Let them in if they come."

Soon, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui came before Zhu Di.

Although the room was not bright, people could be seen clearly. Yao Guangxiao, dressed in black, sat quietly beside Zhu Di, with Buddhist beads in his hands, his eyes closed, and he said nothing.

On his left was the fat Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, who looked very uneasy.

"Dad, you're looking for us?"

Zhu Gaosui put on a flattering smile and said with a grin.

Zhu Di was still flipping through the memorial in his hand and said lightly.

"Second dick."

Hearing the call, Zhu Gaoxu hurried forward.

"father."

"I heard you're very brave. It's snowing so hard, and you're shirtless. Practicing at home isn't enough."

"Run to my Three Thousand Camp and find someone to fight with. You can fight more than a dozen people by yourself."

“How impressive.”

Zhu Di's tone was very calm, and it was this kind of words without any emotion that was the most frightening.

There's no way of guessing what it meant.

Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to admit his mistake quickly: "My son knows he is wrong."

Faced with Zhu Gaoxu's admission of mistake, Zhu Di not only did not give up, but went further.

"If he is so powerful, then he probably doesn't need to recuperate in the capital, otherwise..."

Zhu Di deliberately paused for a moment while speaking.

He closed the memorial, slowly turned his head, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and continued.

"Going to join the feudal clan?"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard the word "feudal fiefdom", his back teeth almost broke and he clenched his fists.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

If you don't want to be a vassal, you just need to be a vassal and leave the political center of the Ming Dynasty.

His wish to become emperor was completely hopeless.

As long as he can stay in Yingtian Prefecture, he still has hope.

Who knows, Zhu Gaochi might suddenly die of obesity one day.

"Father, I..."

Looking at his second brother who was not good at speaking, Zhu Gaosui quickly spoke for him.

"Dad, you know my second brother's health is sometimes good and sometimes not, and he has all these hidden diseases."

"It's hard to say when it will break out, and when it won't. Even my second brother can't be sure about this."

Now that he had an explanation, Zhu Gaoxu quickly took over the conversation.

"Yes, Dad. I have this hidden disease that sometimes flares up and sometimes doesn't."

Although this explanation is weak, it is the only one I can say.

You can't say that Zhu Gaoxu's illness can only be cured by fighting with others.

Moreover, hidden diseases can hide other factors within them.

Most of these hidden diseases were left to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di chuckled.

"Ha, how can it be such a coincidence? If I let you go to the vassal state, your hidden disease will flare up. If I don't let you go to the vassal state, you will fight against more than a dozen good soldiers alone."

The three thousand troops are all elite soldiers. They have followed him in several northern expeditions and can fight against more than a dozen generals alone.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that only the second son Zhu Gaoxu did this.

He has the style of the Overlord of Chu.

He was born with great strength and was invincible in bravery, but unfortunately, he wasn't smart enough and... he was not the eldest son.

At this time, the air was a little quiet, and Zhu Gaosui didn't know how to explain to Zhu Gaoxu for a moment.

Zhu Gaoxu was tongue-tied and didn't know how to defend himself.

The two idiots just stood there stupidly with their heads down.

As if feeling wronged.

Zhu Di slowly stood up, walked to Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, and patted them on the shoulders.

He whispered, "The six ministers have all advised me that the two of you have been staying in the capital for so long."

"It's time to go to the vassal state, but I didn't agree. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see you when I wanted to."
