Ming Dynasty: Ask Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 89: Zhu Gaoxu, the naughty kid who betrayed his father, and Zhu Yunwen, who completely collapsed!

Zhu Gaoxu was slightly stunned.

He is just naughty and playful, but he is not really stupid.

How could I not understand what was going on at this point?

He immediately shrank his head, realizing that he had been fooled.

On second thought, if everyone in the court and the country knew that I had urinated on King Xian's face, it would seem that it would be a bit of a big deal!

In the future, when the disciples of the Zhu family get together to chat, he can also proudly say, "We are the ones who dare to pee on the face of His Royal Highness Prince Xian. Who among you dares to do that?"

Very prestigious and impressive!
After seeing such a glorious achievement, won't everyone admire me?

After all, Zhu Gaoxu was only a twelve-year-old child, at the age when he was the most naughty, rebellious and mischievous.

If you don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles!
Although he was smart, he knew that this would definitely make His Royal Highness Prince Xian hate him to death. He was afraid that if his father knew about it, he would be scolded.

But I just think it’s very interesting, fun and awesome!
Hahaha!
Zhu Gaoxu laughed in his heart, and a smug look unconsciously appeared on the corners of his mouth.

What a naughty kid!

When Zhu Yunhuan saw him like this, he knew what he was thinking.

For such a naughty child, you should cheat him hard once and again.

Let Zhu Di experience how to write the word "坑爹"!

He smiled and said, "Brother Xu, you have done a great deed this time. I will reward you handsomely."

Zhu Gaoxu held his head high and said proudly, "It is my honor to work for my brother, the King of Wu."

"No need for any reward or anything like that!"

"If Brother Wu Wang needs me to do anything in the future, just tell me."

"I am willing to risk my life for my brother, the King of Wu."

The flattery is so smooth!

Zhu Yunxun said slowly, "You really don't want my reward?"

"Really not!"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head firmly.

As the son of Zhu Di, he had been spoiled since childhood, and had everything he wanted to eat, drink, and have fun. He did not lack anything, and naturally he would not be greedy for any reward.

"Forget it then!" Zhu Yunxun said, "I was thinking that since you have done a great job, I would reward you by letting you go out to play outside the Prince of Wu's Palace. Since you don't want to..."

"I want it, I want it, Brother Wu Wang, I want it!"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't wait for him to finish his words and started shouting anxiously.

For a naughty child, the most attractive thing is to go out and play!
Even when he was in Peking, he would be excited for seven or eight days when he heard that he could go out of the palace to play!
What's more, I feel extremely uncomfortable staying in Prince Wu's palace.

Every day feels like a year, as if I were in prison.

When he heard that Zhu Yunhuan could actually let him go out to play, he cheered with joy.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at him and asked, "Do you really want to go out?"

"miss you!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded his head like an old hen pecking at rice, and looked at Zhu Yunhuan with his bright and sparkling eyes, full of expectation.

"Okay, since you have done a great job this time, I will let you go."

Zhu Yunxun said: "But I'm not asking you to go out and play, I'm asking you to go kill people!"

"Murder?" Hearing these two words, the naughty kid became even more interested!
In the past, most of the people coming in and out of Prince Yan's Palace were military generals.

Listening to them talk about charging into battle and killing people like flies, they sounded so majestic and powerful.

As a young boy, Zhu Gaoxu admired this kind of thing very much.

If he had not been restrained, he would have also ridden his horse to charge to the front line to kill the Tartars.

When he heard that he was going to kill someone himself, the naughty kid's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands together.

"Yes!" Zhu Yunhuan nodded and said, "You follow Mr. Yang to the Tongzhengsi and chop off all the officials who have violated the law and committed crimes."

Beside him, Zhu Gaochi's face changed drastically.

He immediately guessed the reason why Zhu Yunhuan did this, but he dared not say a word in front of Zhu Yunhuan and could only wink at him frantically.

Zhu Gaoxu was excited at the moment and did not notice Zhu Gaochi's expression, but he was also an extremely smart man and could guess the reason himself. Hesitation and confusion immediately appeared on his face.

"If you don't want to go, forget it, just stay in the mansion."

Zhu Yunhuan turned away and stopped looking at him. He raised his head and said to himself, "If you miss this fun and interesting thing, it will be hard to have it again."

"Oh my god!" Zhu Gaoxu's playful mentality finally overcame his vigilance.

After all, he was just a twelve-year-old boy.

Even though I know this is not good and might be a mistake, I can't help it!
I couldn't help it, I just wanted to go out and play!

What's more, it's such an interesting thing.

It was a bit too much to ask a child, especially a naughty kid like him, to resist such a great temptation.

"Brother Prince Wu, please let me go." Zhu Gaoxu begged.

"Okay!" Zhu Yunxun said with a smile, "After all, you just saved my second brother, I have to repay you. You can follow Mr. Yang."

Zhu Gaoxu was so overjoyed that he didn't even feel the pain in his butt. He immediately followed Yang Shiqi and ran out in a jump.

Very good, now it’s Zhu Di’s turn to have a headache.

When those civil servants saw Zhu Gaoxu standing next to Yang Shiqi and applauding him, they would definitely think that Zhu Di and Zhu Yunhuan were on the same side.

With such a "traitorous" son, Zhu Di could never clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
……

Zhu Gaochi was filled with helplessness and was about to say goodbye when he was stopped by Zhu Yunhuan.

"Cousin, I think you are too fat. This will damage the dignity of the Prince of Yan."

Zhu Yunhuan had already noticed the look he had just given Zhu Gaoxu.

It seems that this kid is still not so obedient and needs to be dealt with further.

"How about this, starting from today, run ten laps around the walls of the palace every day. Also, cut your food intake in half from now on." "Ah?" Zhu Gaochi was so anxious that he was about to cry: "I... I... I don't want to lose weight!"

If the amount of food is reduced by half, won’t we starve to death?
And running around the palace ten times, how is that possible?

"Only by losing weight can you maintain your status as the Prince of Yan! It's also better for your health!" Zhu Yunhuan said earnestly, "I'm doing this for your own good."

"Grandpa Emperor has entrusted you to me for discipline. I will help you lose this fat no matter what."

Zhu Yunhuan said sternly: "There is no room for negotiation on this matter, so let's leave it at that."

Having you wink at Zhu Gaoxu almost ruined my plan!

If you don't teach me a lesson, you'll forget who's the boss!
Who made you two brothers jump like that and end up in my hands?

Zhu Gaochi was pale, he wanted to cry but had no tears, he was trembling with fear!

……

After leaving Prince Wu's Mansion, Zhu Yunwen got on the carriage and hurriedly wiped his face again and again with his clothes.

I just felt the smell of urine all over my body.

He ordered his guards to ride their horses as fast as they could all the way, and finally returned to his own Prince Xian's Palace. He immediately rinsed his mouth and took a bath impatiently.

After rinsing my mouth dozens of times, taking a bath four or five times, and applying countless perfumes to myself, I finally felt a little better.

But when he thought about the fact that so many people had witnessed this incident, and that Zhu Yunwen might even publicize it, Zhu Yunwen's heart sank to the bottom again.

I am too ashamed to face anyone!
Just when I was feeling crazy and had no way to vent my anger, Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng came.

"I heard that His Highness fainted in Prince Wu's mansion. What happened?"

As soon as Huang Zicheng saw him, he asked with great concern.

These words made Zhu Yunwen's heart turn cold.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

Even Teacher Huang knew about it so quickly?

"I..." Zhu Yunwen was heartbroken and hesitated to speak.

"Strange? Why did His Highness suddenly fall into a coma?"

Huang Zicheng grabbed his hand and said, "Your Highness, are you feeling well? Do you want the imperial physician to take a look?"

"No need!" Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said, "It's not good. My third brother asked Yang Shiqi to take the sword bestowed by the emperor and go to the Tongzhengsi to kill people. I can't stop him at all."

As he spoke, he recounted in detail his conversation at Prince Wu's mansion, including the reason why he fainted.

Of course, he would never tell this after being woken up by Zhu Gaoxu's pee.

He just said that he pretended to be unconscious to get away with it, did not tell Zhu Yunhuan any news, and then returned home.

But Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng had already heard about how Zhu Gaoxu used boy's urine to wake up Prince Xian, and even if Zhu Yunwen didn't say it, they both knew it.

However, when he heard Zhu Yunwen's complacent introduction, he said that he was pretending and that's why he got away with it, and he didn't give Zhu Yunwen a list of personnel. There was even a hint of pride in his words.

The expressions of the two people became more and more strange.

In Zhu Yunwen's view, this was a situation that he had managed to save with great difficulty.

Although he suffered a loss, Zhu Yunhuan did not get the list of personnel, which made him feel a little better.

At least he protected his own people and thwarted Zhu Yunhuan's plan of a massive killing.

But looking at the expressions of Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng.

Zhu Yunwen was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong? Is my method of pretending to be unconscious not working well?"

He just wanted to cover up the scandal of being forced to urinate.

I want to appear to others as intelligent, or at least not stupid.

As for Zhu Gaoxu's pee, it was all an accident. Please just forget about it!
"Your Highness, there is no need to pretend to faint." Huang Zicheng opened his mouth and broke the last bit of fantasy in his heart.

"If the King of Wu knew who those people were, Your Highness wouldn't need to tell him."

"It makes no difference whether Your Highness says it or not."

"If the King of Wu doesn't know who these people are, even if Your Highness tells him, how can he judge whether what Your Highness says is true?"

"If His Highness deliberately says some wrong names, will he arrest people based on that?"

"Then we'd be just what we want!"

After these words were spoken, Zhu Yunwen was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

Yes, if Zhu Yunhuan really didn’t know, then why not just randomly implicate a few people?

Do I still need to pretend to be unconscious?
"The King of Wu said that on purpose. He was just trying to confuse Your Highness. Your Highness doesn't need to care about it."

"I..." Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth.

It turns out that I didn't have to pretend to be unconscious, so there would be no such thing as having urine splashed on my face.

He was simply frightened by Zhu Yunhuan's few words.

scare yourself!
I even got slapped in the face for it!
A lifetime of reputation is ruined!
The source of all this is because I was too stupid... I was fooled by Zhu Yunhuan!

No wonder when he left in anger, Zhu Yunhuan tried to keep him, but only asked him to wash his face and did not ask any more questions about the officials.

He thought that the other party didn't ask because he saw that he was angry!
I thought I had managed to turn the tables!

I didn’t expect it was not the case at all.

It turned out that Zhu Yunhuan was just fooling himself from the very beginning.

But I was actually frightened by him and even fainted from shock.

Then he pretended to be unconscious... and then...

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen felt even more devastated than when Zhu Gaoxu had just urinated on him!

I...I...I actually...

His vision went dark again, his body went limp, and he fainted again!
