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

Chapter 27 Zhu Di was so angry he cried!
In front of Fengtian Hall.

Prince Zhu Gaoxu of Han and Prince Zhu Gaosui of Zhao knelt from midnight until noon.

Under the scorching sun, even though both were valiant warriors, they were covered in sweat.

And he looked around nervously.

They wanted to see if the old man, Zhu Di, was secretly observing them.

The King of Han remained kneeling upright.

But Zhu Gaosui was already limp and powerless on the ground, complaining incessantly: "Damn it, it was clearly your mistake, why should I be punished too!"

The third brother glared angrily at the second brother.

I felt extremely wronged.

“Between brothers, there’s no need to distinguish between you and me,” Zhu Gaoxu said hesitantly.

"You and I are indistinguishable, you fucking kill me!" Zhu Gaosui said angrily.

"Third brother, now is not the time for infighting. The eldest brother will definitely use this incident to kick us while we're down. We should deal with him now!"

Zhu Gaoxu's face revealed a fierce look.

I felt extremely unwilling to accept it.

He seized the opportunity to become regent when his eldest son's family made a mistake.

Before I could even get comfortable, this awful canopy messed things up.

Zhu Gaoxu cursed and said, "What business is it of yours how I become emperor?"

"What do we do now?" Zhu Gaosui angrily pounded the floor.

The second son, upon ascending the throne, would at most kill him.

If the eldest son ascends the throne, his entire family will die.

Moreover, he had not personally experienced what the sky had described.

At least in Zhu Gaosui's mind, that was not real.

Of course, he had no intention of easily forgiving his second son.

If given the chance, he would definitely seek revenge.

Zhu Gaoxu was relieved to see that his third son was no longer blaming him.

He squinted and said, "I've already sent someone to find the fourth brother."

"What use is that little brat, the fourth son?" Zhu Gaosui frowned slightly.

He was very dissatisfied with the second brother's behavior of going to the fourth brother.

"What do you know? Only the fourth brother is useful in times like this!" Zhu Gaoxu laughed.

My nephew must have made a pretty big mistake back then.

But after Zhu Gaoshuo stepped in, the old man immediately changed his mind.

"Stop waiting, the fourth brother won't come." Zhu Gaosui shouted at the second brother, "That old man is like a wolf, roaming the world and eating meat. If he wants to kill someone, no one can stop him!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Zhu Gaoxu felt increasingly uneasy.

This isn't just Sky Curtain playing its own game.

It was clearly the old man who was plotting against him.

By making a fool of the Han King through the sky screen, the popular support that the eldest brother and his nephew had lost would be immediately regained.

Ultimately, the old man still wanted his eldest son to be the crown prince!
Thinking of this, the King of Han, who was initially a little guilty, simply stopped pretending and started cursing.

"Anyway, I've already done what I've done, so whether I stick my neck out or not, I'll still get stabbed."

"Keep your voice down!" Zhu Gaosui said nervously.

But Zhu Gaoxu disagreed, and even shouted, "If he doesn't care about the shame and has the face to see Mother after he dies, then let him kill both of us!"

"Alright, alright, keep your voice down!" Zhu Gaosui was terrified.

She even considered covering the second son's mouth.

She thought to herself that she was only there to accompany him as punishment, and that she wasn't necessarily going to die.

The matter of Tianmu has nothing to do with him.

If the second son continues speaking like this in the Fengtian Hall, he will probably lose his head.

"I'm not afraid at all! If I can't be emperor, I might as well be killed!"

While Zhu Gaoxu was still cursing, he saw that his third brother had already knelt down. Seeing this, the second brother sneered, "Look how scared you are!"

Turning his head, he suddenly saw Zhu Di's figure and was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, lowered his body, and did not dare to look up at the old man's expression.

The sound of light footsteps approached, like a blow to the heart, and Zhu Gaoxu's back was instantly soaked with sweat.

Because he saw the longsword in his father's hand.

The sword sheath was thrown in front of Zhu Gaoxu, causing him to tremble as if he could see his own head falling to the ground.

But Zhu Di did not execute him.

Instead, he ran to the garden, cut down a bramble tree, and threw it in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu understood what he meant.

He gripped the brambles tightly with both hands, the thorns piercing his palms, and drops of blood fell.

Then he got up and followed Zhu Di into the Fengtian Hall.

As soon as he entered, Zhu Di threw a pile of memorials at him and angrily said:

"Look at these memorials submitted by the ministers today. You are a disgrace to our Great Ming Dynasty. Let me kill you so that the people of the world can have peace of mind!"

"Look at what you're going to do in the future, how am I supposed to face my ancestors in the afterlife? Is this the kind of stinking trash that the Yongle Emperor raised?"

"Didn't you arrogantly say that if you were given the world, you would do a great job?"

Zhu Gaoxu was already feeling guilty, so no matter how much Zhu Di scolded him, he didn't dare to talk back.

But Zhu Di's anger was not yet fully vented. He pointed at his second son and cursed, "Look at your appearance! You have a pointed mouth and a monkey-like face. Where is the appearance of an emperor?"

These words instantly enraged Zhu Gaoxu, who took off his python robe and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

"Dad! Don't try that on me!"

"Our whole family rebelled, do you think we can go down and meet our ancestors?"

Zhu Gaoxu completely disregarded everything and pointed at Zhu Di, cursing, "So what if you become a great emperor like the fourth prince? The history books won't record it. You were the one who succeeded to the throne."

"You stay in this seat the whole time, don't you dare give it to me!"

After saying this, Zhu Gaoxu left Fengtian Hall without looking back.

He felt wronged as well.

During the Jingnan Rebellion, when he was needed to fight on the front lines, the old man said in front of everyone that the young master was often ill and that he should encourage him!
Now they say he has a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, and doesn't have the appearance of an emperor.

Why does the old man only target him to fool?

All the grievances he had held in his heart over the years finally erupted.

Zhu Di was furious, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and his whole body trembled.

A moment later he burst into laughter. His laughter was filled with helplessness, regret, and heartache at the father's fault for not raising his child properly.

More than anything, I felt wronged.

Is it easy for him?

Jianwen forced him back then.

If they don't rebel, their whole family will die.

When he became emperor, people said his ascension to the throne was illegitimate.

Now, because of this throne, a family that once loved each other must kill one another, causing rivers of blood to flow!
He knew perfectly well what his second son had been doing behind his back all these years.

But he could only endure it.

Everyone in the world says he is ruthless.

But when faced with his sons, he could only endure it.
Zhu Di often felt that he was the first weak and incompetent emperor in the world!

Zhu Gaoxu left Fengtian Hall in a huff, only to encounter Zhu Gaoshuo on the way.

"Fourth brother, why are you only arriving now!"

Zhu Gaoxu is currently furious and wants to vent his anger on everyone he sees.

He thought to himself that if his fourth brother had come out to help him in the future, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

When the eldest brother's family encountered difficulties, the fourth brother stepped in to help.

Now it's his turn, but he's keeping his distance.

Zhu Gaoshuo looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who was still angry, and suddenly laughed: "Second brother, this isn't the first time the old man has gone back on his word. What are you so angry about!"
