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

Chapter 29 Zhu Di gave military power to his fourth son!

"Boss, what time is it? You're still lying to me?"

Zhu Gaoxu naturally didn't believe his boss's words and said dismissively.

In his view, Zhu Gaochi wanted to take this opportunity to sow discord between him and Zhu Gaosui.

What a despicable person.

However, even if there is resentment in one's heart.

But the eldest brother is still useful now.

Zhu Gaoxu knew that the old man was furious at this moment, so he hid behind his eldest son in fear.

I walked in cautiously.

We arrived at the entrance of Fengtian Hall.

I found it very quiet here, with hardly anyone around, not even a guard.

There were three figures in front of me.

Zhu Gaoxu stared intently at it.

The old man.

Fourth brother!

third child?

"Zhu Gaosui, you bastard!"

Zhu Gaoxu was instantly enraged, wishing he could rush forward and beat Zhu Gaosui to death.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi quickly stopped him.

They clearly talked about starting a rebellion together.

It was all planned; the third brother was going to set fire to the medicine storehouse and create chaos.

But now he appears in the Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately understood that his third brother had betrayed him.

"Zhu Gaosui, you are shameless, you are a scoundrel!"

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's incessant chatter, Zhu Gaosui, not one to tolerate it, roared, "Arrogant!!!"

"You're about to kill me, and you still want me to rebel with you? Second brother, do you think I'm stupid?!"

"Besides, I never agreed to rebel against the old man!"

Zhu Gaosui's lips curled up.

I felt extremely happy.

From childhood to adulthood, the old man never gave him a second glance, focusing all his attention on his eldest and second sons.

Especially after the Jingnan Rebellion, although his status rose, the old man no longer paid him any attention.

They completely groomed the second and eldest sons as heirs to the throne.

But he was clearly a prince too.

He's also the eldest son!

Why doesn't the throne belong to him?

Now, due to his lifespan and the fact that he has a grandson, the old man is unlikely to pass the throne to his eldest son.

The second son is even more arrogant; if the old man were to do so, the people of the world would oppose it.

Now, the old man only has one son who can inherit the throne.

That's him!

Under such circumstances, how could he possibly rebel against the second son?

"Half of the world is mine? The whole world is mine!" Zhu Gaosui thought to himself.

Zhu Gaoxu knelt obediently before Zhu Di.

He glared at the third brother with a fierce look in his eyes, wishing he could beat him to death.

Zhu Di did not physically punish Zhu Gaoxu, feeling both disappointed by his second son's behavior and pleased that he had the courage to rebel.

If the second son could restrain his rebellious intentions and properly assist the eldest son, the Yongle era would be one of peace and prosperity for the country!

But now
Coming to his senses, Zhu Di frowned and snorted coldly with displeasure, "Do you want me to break your dog legs?"

With a thud, the eldest and third brothers also knelt down.

Zhu Gaosui didn't understand at first, but seeing his eldest brother kneel down, he certainly couldn't stand up.

Zhu Gaoshuo wondered if he should kneel down at this moment.

But he didn't want to kneel.

He hadn't done anything wrong; on the contrary, Zhu Di was the one who truly wronged him.

Seeing that there was an empty chair next to the old man, he sat down without any qualms.

The three brothers were filled with anticipation upon seeing this.

The fourth prince dared to sit in the chair; the old man had clearly reserved that chair for his good grandson. But they didn't expect that Zhu Di would not react and would tacitly approve of it.

She even looked at Zhu Gaoshuo with satisfaction.

This displeased Zhu Zhanji, but since Zhu Gaoshuo had already taken the seat, he could only kneel down, though he still said with a disgruntled expression:
"Grandpa, this is Uncle's mistake, it has nothing to do with our family."

"How can it not concern you? If my nephew doesn't want to be emperor, then give up your seat and let me sit on it!" Zhu Gaoxu retorted.

"Shut up! Haven't we men made enough fools of ourselves? Do you want the people of the world to condemn me to the pillory of history? Are you hoping I'll suffer a terrible death?"

With a flash of sword light, Zhu Di drew his longsword and handed it to Zhu Gaochi. Then, he angrily pointed at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "Chop him down! One stroke and the second son's head will be gone."

"I don't need to watch you fight and argue every day, making Yongle a laughing stock for all time."

"Back then, when he was about to rebel, you saved his life from me. Now, I'm giving you the life of the second son!"

"cut!"

“Go ahead!”

Zhu Gaochi trembled and dropped the long sword in his hand, tears streaming down his face. "Father, please spare the second son!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's agitated mood gradually calmed down.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Zhu Di felt extremely irritated. None of these brats were easy to deal with.

Only the fourth son could bring him comfort.

At least I still have a good son by my side.

Zhu Di let out a long sigh and made up his mind, saying, "If the second son doesn't want to go to his fief, then hand over his military power, including the army of the Shandong Military Command and your personal guard!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present realized that the old man was serious.

Especially Zhu Zhanji.

He had long been interested in the military power held by Zhu Gaochi.

He didn't want those personal guards who were hundreds of miles away, but he had two battalions of troops in the capital.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's expression changed drastically.

Unexpectedly, the old man took the opportunity to regain his military power.

At this moment, he truly regretted it; he should have known better than to rebel.

Without these soldiers, how could he possibly fight against the boss?

But if he doesn't hand it over, he'll have to go to his fief.

No matter what, you won't get any benefit.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Gaoxu finally said with a wronged expression, "Father, I understand. Take it back. It was yours to begin with!"

At the same time, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaosui both knelt before Zhu Di and asked, "Father, what do you plan to do with the Three Thousand Battalion and the Divine Machine Battalion?"

The two men were secretly vying for control of these two crucial units.

The two battalions together only have 6 men.

But they are all the most elite troops.

In particular, the existence of the Divine Machine Battalion can determine the course of a war!

"If I give you the Three Thousand Battalion and the Divine Machine Battalion, how can I sleep at night?"

Zhu Di's words broke their guard.

This statement implies that they are incapable of managing two battalions.

But the old man was in a fit of anger, and they dared not argue back, so they could only accept it.

Of course, Zhu Di had no time to pay attention to the two of them right now.

Instead, he stood up and went to the fourth brother's side.

Zhu Gaoshuo tried to get up to bow, but Zhu Di pressed him down forcefully.

The pain made him grit his teeth.

I rely on.

What's Zhu Laosi doing?
They hit me so hard.

"Fourth brother, I'm entrusting the Three Thousand Battalion and the Divine Machine Battalion to you. What do you think?"

The Divine Machine Battalion? I've heard that Zhu Di obtained the art of firearms from Jiaozhi (Vietnam).

The Three Thousand Camps were cavalry.

The two forces worked together, with the muskets in front and the cavalry behind, causing the various tribes of the grasslands to flee in terror!

Zhu Gaoshuo smiled; it just so happened that he had studied science.
He looked at Zhu Di and said, "Father, I'll take over these two battalions!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di was stunned.

The people kneeling on the ground were also dumbfounded.

What does the old man mean by this?
They've started handing over military power to the fourth prince right away!

Is this really a move to support the fourth prince to ascend the throne?
