Ming Dynasty: The Jingnan Rebellion has just been successful, and Zhu Yuanzhang has been resurrected

Chapter 132 Zhu Di surrenders and compares himself with Han Wu and Tang Zong

"Ah?" Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.

Then, he hesitated and said, "Brother Hu, you really don't have to worry about my face and force my father to surrender. I know my father, he is not someone who will bow his head easily."

Zhu Yunhuan stood up, stepped forward and patted Zhu Gaoxu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know what to do. Go!"

"Oh, then should I really go and call my father over?" Zhu Gaoxu hesitated.

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunhuan nodded.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Yunhun, and after making sure that Zhu Yunhun was not joking, he turned and left.

"Huh..." Zhu Yunhuan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, a faint smile on his face, and said to himself: "I really didn't expect that Fourth Uncle would come and hang out with me, and he even asked for it on his own initiative."

He had thought about conquering Zhu Di before, but he did not hold much hope. After all, Zhu Di was the Yongle Emperor who left a great name in history.

Anyone who has been able to sit on the throne in history has great perseverance. It is extremely difficult to conquer them.

Moreover, Zhu Di won the throne by force as a vassal king. Looking at the entire history of the Central Plains, he was the only one of his kind.

When reading through history, you often see a term: emperor on horseback.

Many emperors have been called emperors on horseback, but only Zhu Di truly achieved this.

To use a more popular modern phrase to describe Zhu Di, he is the Flathead Brother of the Ming Dynasty. He really doesn't care about life and death, and will fight if he doesn't obey.

As long as you provoke me or make me unhappy, I must raise an army to deal with you!

Zhu Di's life was either spent fighting or on the way to war.

He fought north and south, and attacked from both sides.

Fight from south to north, kill from east to west.

Zhu Di attacked the grasslands five times, sweeping away all the enemies and making the entire Mobei grassland tremble.

According to historical records, Zhu Di's name could stop babies on the grassland from crying. Just imagine how outrageous that was.

Zhu Di is also the only emperor in history to have been granted the title of Wolf's Lair.

Note, it is unique.

There have been many powerful emperors in history, but Zhu Di was the only one who was able to seal the Wolf's Lair.

As a member of the Central Plains, there should be no one who doesn't know the significance of Fenglangjuxu, right? It is the pinnacle of achievement for ancient military commanders.

As a result, Zhu Di, an emperor, got it. Just imagine how cruel it was.

Let me put it this way, the people during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty usually walked with their heads held high and their chests puffed out, full of confidence. The reason was very simple: there was a giant standing behind them.

Zhu Yunhu was jealous of Zhu Di, who was so ferocious, but he also knew that Zhu Di would not bow his head easily.

Therefore, Zhu Yunhuan's choice was to let Zhu Di go out and conquer a piece of fiefdom, and then use a roundabout way to make Zhu Di serve the Ming Dynasty.

Never imagined.

As fate would have it, Zhu Di was now willing to join his army.

Prince Yan’s Mansion!
Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and came to Zhu Di: "Dad!"

"How is the situation? What did Yunhu say?" Zhu Di waved his hand and looked at Zhu Gaoxu nervously.

Zhu Gaoxu subconsciously wanted to tell the truth, but when he saw Zhu Di's appearance, his heart suddenly moved, and he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue, and replaced them with a long sigh: "Alas"

Seeing this, Zhu Di's heart skipped a beat. His heart instantly sank to the bottom. He asked, "Why? Yun Hun doesn't agree?"

Without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu's reply, a bitter look appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself, "In my situation, even if I really wanted to surrender, how could Yunhu really be at ease?"

"Oh no, it seems a bit too much." Zhu Gaoxu was a little dumbfounded.

He just wanted to play a trick on Zhu Di and vent his anger for being beaten by Zhu Di, but he didn't expect that things would get out of hand now.

"Ahem. Dad, don't be so pessimistic. Hu Ge'er didn't say it's impossible." Zhu Gaoxu coughed twice and said embarrassedly.

"Huh?" Zhu Di was stunned and looked up at Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu dodged his gaze and said, "Dad, you still have a chance. I..."

"Swish!" Zhu Di rushed forward and grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's ear.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

"Dad, what are you doing? I'm trying to help you out of kindness, and this is how you treat me?"

Zhu Gaoxu was extremely panicked, but he didn't show it on his face. He knew very well in his heart that he must hold on now, otherwise it would be all over.

"Hmph, keep pretending. You may be able to hide your little tricks from others, but how can you hide them from me, your father? Tell me quickly, what did Yunhu say?" Zhu Di snorted coldly.

At the beginning, he was really intimidated by Zhu Gaoxu, but then Zhu Gaoxu's words exposed him.

As long as Zhu Gaoxu really went to find Zhu Yunhuan and expressed his desire to surrender, Zhu Yunhuan would definitely have only two attitudes.

One: Accept his surrender.

2: Refuse decisively.

There can be no third answer.

Zhu Yunhuan was definitely not the kind of person who was indecisive. If Zhu Yunhuan was really like that, he would not have taken the initiative to surrender.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu’s answer was wrong.

This has two consequences.

1: Zhu Gaoxu was afraid that he would be sad, so he deliberately lied to him.

2: Zhu Yunhuan accepted his surrender, but the brat Zhu Gaoxu was deliberately playing a prank on him.

Considering Zhu Gaoxu's personality and the fact that he had just beaten him up, he felt that the second possibility was more likely.

Also, if it was the first case, Zhu Gaoxu's attitude would definitely not be as lively as it is now, and he would probably feel a little lost.

"Where did I get exposed?" Zhu Gaoxu was confused and didn't know where he had made the mistake.

However, given the current situation, he has no time to think about this.

"Plop!" Zhu Gaoxu was so single that he knelt on the ground: "Dad, I was wrong!"

"Hmph, are you kidding your father? You're still too young!" Zhu Di snorted.

Then, he turned his gaze to Zhu Gaoxu and said hesitantly, "Second brother, is Yunxun really going to accept me?"

"That's pretty close, right? Brother Hu asked me to come back and take you to the palace." Zhu Gaoxu said, and then a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Dad, I just wanted to play a little joke on you. Don't take it seriously."

"Look at what you have accomplished. Your father is in a good mood today. Forget it!" Zhu Di waved his hand.

"Shua!" Zhu Gaoxu climbed up from the ground, his face full of pride, and said, "Dad, from now on, when we join forces, we will definitely be invincible and dominate the battlefield."

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and go to the palace. Yunhuan is still waiting."

Zhu Gaoxu was startled, then came to his senses and said, "Right, right, I almost forgot about the important matter. Let's go."

After a while.

Zhu Di and his son Zhu Gaoxu left the palace and went straight to the imperial palace.

The palace!

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu came before Zhu Yunhuan and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty!"

"Fourth uncle, second brother, please get up!" Zhu Yunhuan waved his hands.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu stood up.

"Second brother, please go out for a while. I want to talk to my fourth uncle." Zhu Yunxun said.

"Ok!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Dad!"

Then he left with a smile.

Zhu Di's mouth twitched, and he was thinking in his heart, after returning to the palace, should he give Zhu Gaoxu another set meal to deepen his impression. Recently, Zhu Gaoxu has been dancing too happily.

If this continues, it won't be long before he's dancing on his father's head.

Inside the palace.

Only Zhu Yunhuan and Zhu Di were left.

"Fourth uncle, I heard from the second brother that you don't want to go out and fight for territory and become a vassal king, but plan to follow me?" Zhu Yunheng said softly.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Why do you have such an idea? Fourth uncle, you should understand that if you follow me, you will not be so free in the future." Zhu Yunheng looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di's face was calm as he met Zhu Yunhuan's gaze. He said, "I want to see how far Your Majesty can go. Moreover, I think that following Your Majesty will make my life more colorful."

"How far can I go?" Zhu Yunhuan was a little surprised.

But if you think about it carefully, isn't it because Zhu Di was convinced by his previous words?

His guess was right.

Zhu Yunhuan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how far we'll go, but Fourth Uncle, your intuition is right. If you follow me, your future life will definitely be far more exciting than if you went out on your own. I can guarantee that."

Zhu Di was startled when he heard this, and a surge of excitement surged in his heart. He said, "Your Majesty, do you agree?"

Zhu Yunhuan smiled and nodded, saying, "I agree. Why not? Fourth Uncle, I highly recognize your ability to fight."

"Great!" Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a look of curiosity on his face, he asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you worried at all?"

"Why should you worry?" Zhu Yunhuan asked instead of answering.

"Hmm" Zhu Di choked.

Zhu Yunhuan patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and said, "If you employ someone, trust him. If you doubt him, don't employ him. If I were worried, how could I dare to employ the Second Brother, Yao Guangxiao, and others, let alone you, the Fourth Uncle?"

"That's true!" Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then completely relieved. He felt deeply moved, "Yun Hu's heart and mind are truly incomparable to ordinary people."

Suddenly, his expression froze, and a thought popped into his mind: "Could it be that my Ming Dynasty will also produce a figure like Emperor Wu of Han or Emperor Taizong of Tang?"

When this thought came to his mind, he suddenly became excited.

Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang were the top ones even among all the emperors. If the Zhu family also had such a figure, to what extent could the Ming Dynasty reach?

All nations come to court?

Zhu Di took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am willing to be your forerunner, whipping my horse and trampling the world!"

"What the hell? What's going on, Fourth Uncle?" Zhu Yunhuan was a little confused.

However, he didn't say much, skipping the topic and asking seriously: "Fourth Uncle, let me ask you again, have you really given up on going out there and fighting to become a vassal king?"

"Yes!" said Zhu Di.

Zhu Yunhuan nodded and said, "If that's the case, then let's be frank. If you work in the court, you'll probably have to follow the rules. By then, the power you hold will basically come from the court, and your own power will be gone."

Zhu Di took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I have thought it through."

His decision to join Zhu Yunhuan was not a momentary impulse, but the result of careful consideration.

Therefore, when faced with what Zhu Yunhuan said, he did not have the slightest hesitation or surprise. Every family has its own rules, and every country has its own laws.

Since you want to follow Zhu Yunhuan and experience the magnificent experience, you have to make a good choice.

You can not have it both ways.

Having both does not exist.

"Okay, in that case, you should stay in Yingtian Prefecture. Find some time to clean up the palace, and then send someone to bring Fourth Aunt, Gao Chi, Gao Sui and others back from Beiping." Zhu Yunheng said.

Since Zhu Di had already made up his mind, he didn't say much.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhu Di nodded.

"Go!" Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand.

"I'll take my leave!" Zhu Di bowed, turned around and left.

"Brother Hu, did you really accept my father as your own?" Zhu Gaoxu ran over, his expression full of surprise.

He just saw Zhu Di, and from his smiling face he knew that things were going very smoothly. From now on, he would really fight side by side with his father.

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunhuan nodded.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a moment and said, "Alright, but don't worry too much, Hun'er. I'll keep an eye on my father for you."

Zhu Yunhuan was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu with a strange look.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Zhu Gaoxu felt a little uneasy when he was stared at by Zhu Yunhuan with a strange look.

Zhu Yunhuan shook his head, suppressing his inner smile, and patted Zhu Gaoxu on the shoulder: "Second brother, I make you a promise. As long as you don't rebel, even if you are corrupt one day, I will pardon you!"

"Brother Hu, what do I want to be greedy for? I don't need it if I follow you!" Zhu Gaoxu shook his head.

He knew that his brain was not very good, but he knew one thing: Zhu Yunhuan would not cheat him. As long as he followed Zhu Yunhuan honestly, who in the entire Ming Dynasty could do anything to him?
Zhu Yunhuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, go back now. I guess Fourth Uncle will have a lot to say to you tonight."

"Okay!" Zhu Gaoxu nodded, turned around and walked away.

Zhu Yunhuan looked away from Zhu Gaoxu, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he shook his head and said, "Sanbao, go call Yao Guangxiao over!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ma Sanbao agreed and turned to leave.

Prince Yan’s Mansion!
Zhu Di let out a long breath, looked at Zhu Gaoxu beside him, and said with a smile: "Second brother, thank you for what Dad did this time."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "Thank you, there's no need. However, you should control your temper from now on. Yingtian Prefecture is not like Peking. If you continue to act as you please, you'll probably get into big trouble in the future."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who was serious, and scolded him with a smile: "Good boy, you are lecturing your father with what he said to you before. Don't worry, I know what I am doing."

"That's good. After all, I am your guarantor. If you get into trouble in the future, I will be in trouble too." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's smile froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He said, "Stinky boy, I was wondering why you suddenly became so smart. So you were waiting here."

Without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu to speak, he continued, "However, what you said is not wrong. Yingtian Prefecture is not like Beiping. We should be more low-key in the future to avoid making things difficult for Yunhu."

Zhu Gaoxu looked up at Zhu Di, thought for a moment and said, "Dad, can I ask you a question?"

"Speak!" Zhu Di waved his hand.

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and said, "Dad, why do you suddenly have such a good impression of Hun Ge'er? Moreover, you even have the idea of ​​following Hun Ge'er. This is not like your character!"

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Of course that's the truth. Why listen to lies?" Zhu Gaoxu said.

Zhu Di resisted the urge to beat Zhu Gaoxu up, and bared his teeth as he said, "Second brother, you've been very arrogant lately!"

"Uh..." Zhu Gaoxu said with an embarrassed look, "Dad, I'm worried about you too. Why don't you know what's good for you?"

"Swish!" Zhu Di stood up suddenly, staring at Zhu Gaoxu with a dangerous look in his eyes. He said, "Come on, say it again, who doesn't know what's good for them?"

Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed, a smile appeared on his face, and he waved his hand and said, "Dad, don't get excited, don't get excited. Your son said something wrong. Please don't argue with me."

"Hmph!" Zhu Di snorted, sat down again, and said, "Actually, the reason I decided to follow Yun Hun is mainly because I think he can accomplish great things in the future."

"Big business? How big?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Zhu Di paused for a moment and said, "Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, and Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. Perhaps, like them, our Ming Dynasty will also have a place in history. Just thinking about that scene, I feel excited."

"This..." Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment. Thinking carefully about Zhu Di's words, he couldn't help but feel a surge of blood in his heart: "Dad, don't say it, I think Hu Ge'er is really no worse than Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang."

"Haha, of course. Otherwise, why do you think I would give up my good position as a vassal king and follow Yunhu?" Zhu Di said with a smile.

Then, a hint of anticipation appeared on his face, and he said, "Now I'm looking forward to seeing some movement on the grasslands to the north. Based on my understanding of those guys on the grasslands, now that such a big thing has happened in our Ming Dynasty, they will definitely send troops south to plunder. When that happens, hehe, based on Yunxun's temperament, he will most likely send troops to the grasslands."

"Send troops to the grassland?" Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.

Then, he thought of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said excitedly, "If the grasslands really send troops, then they've hit a wall this time. I'm afraid Brother Hu will smash their heads."

The father and son looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and became excited.
