Zhu Di: My fourth son is a great emperor of all time?

Chapter 43 The Sky Reappears, the Third Prince Becomes Emperor!
"Second brother, I am usually such an honest person. Even if Yu Qian wanted to join me, I would not accept him."

Zhu Gaoxu pondered these words for a moment before finally agreeing.

Judging from Lao Si's usual behavior and the situation in the sky, he even saved Lao San, so Lao Si is definitely an honest person.

Zhu Gaoshuo is not stupid.

Of course, it was obvious that the second brother wasn't telling the truth.

Yu Qian was indeed capable, and if he had truly pledged allegiance to Zhu Zhanji as he did in history, it would have been a real problem.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoshuo had already won him over.

Although it is not stated explicitly.

But Zhu Gaoshuo believed that those two strategies for governing the border would surely convince Yu Qian.

He also deliberately wanted Yu Qian to tell Zhu Di the methods of governing nomadic peoples.

Sure enough, a short while later, Yu Qian's angry roar could be heard from inside.

"Does the emperor not know that building a Great Wall with the lives of soldiers on the frontier is far less effective than building a Great Wall with the hearts of the people of the world?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoshuo realized that the old man was putting on an act.

They wanted to completely help Zhu Zhanji win over Yu Qian.

Upon hearing Yu Qian's words, Zhu Gaoxu understood that his nephew had once again reaped the benefits, and he immediately said unhappily, "Brother, I'll be frank with you. I want to recruit Yu Qian under my command. Could you please speak to him on my behalf?"

Zhu Gaoxu, who was not well-read, probably didn't even know how to use Yu Qian; he simply couldn't stand the old man's favoritism.

He wanted to disgust his nephew.

Seeing his serious expression, Zhu Gaoshuo's eyes darted around.

He immediately suppressed the urge to laugh.

"Second brother, do you still have any gold beans? If you want to win over Yu Qian and steal my nephew, you'll have to rely on your gold beans."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu frowned slightly, suddenly realizing that his fourth son was no longer an honest man.

He immediately said with dissatisfaction, "Fourth brother, I'm not stupid. I've found out who Yu Qian is. Gold beans won't work on him!"

Zhu Gaoshuo immediately showed a look of horror.

But he quickly continued laughing:

“Brother, you’re being superficial. Those golden beans are a good thing. If you give one to someone you meet, the smile on their face means it’s real.”

"Give me two!"

These words made the second son, Zhu Gaoxu, nod in agreement.

This is true.

Could it be true?

"Okay, brother will get you the gold beans right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu pulled out a handful of gold beans from his pocket.

A whole bunch.

They're so rich!

Zhu Gaoshuo did not smile.

It's just ridiculous that the emperor is dirt poor while the King of Han is covered in gold.

In fact, it wasn't just the King of Han.

This was true throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.

It was only Emperor Zhu Di who was broke, not the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty actually possessed a great deal of wealth, but the emperor was unable to control it.

Even during the Chongzhen era of the Ming Dynasty, the money was controlled by merchants, and the emperor had no money at all.

This was actually a major reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

It was just two gold beans, which he would usually give to any eunuch he saw, so he generously gave them to the fourth prince.

Before Zhu Gaoxu could even speak, Zhu Gaoshuo snatched all the gold beans from his hand, leaving not a single one.

"Fourth brother, do you think I'm stupid?" Zhu Gaoxu was extremely anxious inside, but he still had to appear calm on the surface.

He was going to use these gold coins in the army, but the fourth brother took them all. What was he going to do?

Zhu Gaoshuo, who was standing next to him, saw through his little scheme at a glance and quickly flattered him, saying, "Second brother, you just said it yourself, Yu Qian is no ordinary person. One or two gold beans are useless!"

"I'm going to find Yu Qian now. Wait for me to come back." After saying that, Zhu Gaoshuo, afraid that his second brother would change his mind, quickly ran away.

This made Zhu Gaoxu even more disbelieving.

Yu Qian is inside. Where is Lao Si going to find Yu Qian?

This is clearly a lie.

"You little rascal, you dare to cheat me out of my money!"

Zhu Gaoxu was furious and wanted to teach Zhu Gaoshuo a lesson, but before he could catch up, Zhu Zhanji had already come out from inside.

He went straight to Zhu Gaoxu's side and said, "Second Uncle, eavesdropping is not a good habit!"

Zhu Gaoxu was already furious, and seeing Zhu Zhanji only fueled his anger, so he shoved him hard.

"Kid, who do you think you're talking to?"

"You've really got the hang of it?"

The third son, Zhu Gaosui, was shocked. He never expected that the second son would directly attack his eldest nephew.

But then I thought, since the boss isn't here anyway, I might as well go ahead and fight.

Zhu Gaosui also sneered from the side, "Nephew, don't think that just because your father let you subdue Yu Qian, you can really become emperor!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhanji was immediately stunned.

What Yu Qian?
He quickly understood the reasoning behind it and said speechlessly, "Don't bother, the old man's tricks are completely useless. Yu Qian saw through them immediately!"

Zhu Gaoxu saw his elder brother's hypocrisy in his nephew and angrily said, "You and your father are just the same. Although I may not be well-educated, don't take me for a fool!"

Zhu Zhanji was also a little annoyed and complained, "Why would I lie to you? Yu Qian said he would follow Prince Qi, Zhu Gaoshuo, to the death in this lifetime!"

what?
Fourth brother?

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other in bewilderment.

I still think Zhu Zhanji was lying, and his purpose was to stir up trouble for the fourth prince.

After all, Zhu Zhanji must be the one who hates the fourth son the most in the family.

But Zhu Zhanji's expression was unusually serious.

"Uncles, I don't have time to play games with you here. Grandpa has already ordered a split attack. If you don't believe me, go inside and ask Grandpa yourselves!"

Zhu Zhanji would become extremely angry at the mere mention of Zhu Gaoshuo.

He always felt that it was the fourth brother who ruined his plans.

They watched Zhu Zhanji leave.

Zhu Gaoxu still didn't quite believe it.

After all, he was often cheated by the eldest brother's family.

It wasn't until Yu Qian came out that this was confirmed.

"That fourth brother is a liar, I'm going to beat him to death!"

Zhu Gaoxu was dumbfounded and almost burst into tears of grievance.

Not only were all the gold beans taken away, but even Yu Qian is now one of the fourth brother's men.

However, time was of the essence, and Zhu Gaoxu simply did not have time to cause trouble for Zhu Gaoshuo.

Zhu Di had already issued the order to divide his troops.

The Western Route Army, led by Zhu Di himself, consisted of 140,000 troops. They set off from Datong, passed through Erenhot, and fought a decisive battle against Mahmud's main army.

The central army was led by Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, departing from Datong, passing through Deshengbao, and cutting off the Oirat's rear.

Because Deshengbao is far away, Zhu Gaoxu must send troops out today.

Walking along the road, Zhu Gaoxu grew angrier and angrier. He looked at Zhu Gaosui and said, "Third brother, what do you think Father means? Who does he want to be emperor?"

"How should I know!" Zhu Gaosui rolled his eyes.

"That's true, you definitely don't have a chance!" Zhu Gaoxu comforted him.

Zhu Gaosui's eyes were filled with murderous intent at that moment.

Suddenly a loud bang came from the sky, and the sky descended again.

Hello viewers, I'm your old friend Shrimp, back again to tell you about the history of the Ming Dynasty. Today, we'll talk about the story of Zhu Gaosui, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
