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

Chapter 7: Zhu Di Changes His Mindset and Supports His Fourth Son to Ascend the Throne?

Seeing Zhu Di leave.

Zhu Gaoshuo breathed a sigh of relief, also thinking about leaving this place as soon as possible.

But by this time, he had already attracted everyone's attention, after all, the heavens had prophesied that he would become an emperor for all time.

Yang Shiqi, looking extremely excited, approached Zhu Gaoshuo and began a series of self-introductions.

"A peerless emperor! I must serve such a person in the future," Yang Shiqi cried out in his heart.

Meanwhile, those ministers from the princeling faction were already extremely nervous.

The main reason they didn't expect was that Zhu Di wouldn't punish them.

Zhu Gaoshuo did not want to have too much interaction with these ministers.

This is of no benefit to him.

No sooner had he left the main hall than a eunuch appeared before him.

"Your Highness Prince Qi, His Majesty requests an audience with you!"

Zhu Gaoshuo nodded, not surprised.

Given what had happened, it would be impossible for Zhu Di not to see him.

I don't know what the old man was thinking.

But since it was said in private, his life is certainly not in danger.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoshuo could only sigh helplessly, as the appearance of the sky curtain completely disrupted his plan to take up his fief.

"Lead the way!"

Along the way, Zhu Gaoshuo sensed that he was being surrounded by gazes.

Both palace maids and eunuchs craned their necks, eager to catch a glimpse of this emperor who would be remembered for all time.

This made Zhu Gaoshuo feel somewhat embarrassed.

The main problem is that the content creator completely overhyped him, and now I feel like I'm about to die.

Upon arriving at the palace, Zhu Gaoshuo encountered the three brothers again, but his eldest nephew was nowhere to be seen.

This puzzled Zhu Gaoshuo.

It's quite unlike Zhu Di's character to test a secret meeting without bringing his beloved grandson along.

Zhu Gaoshuo didn't think too much about it; who knew what the old man was thinking?

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, and the three of them did not seem to be exchanging words.

Upon seeing Zhu Gaoshuo arrive, Zhu Gaoxu rushed over first, grabbed Zhu Gaoshuo, and then began to grope him indiscriminately.

Startled, Zhu Gaoshuo retreated warily, thinking to himself, "My second son's fiefdom isn't even in Sichuan, so where did he learn such bad habits?"
"You haven't learned martial arts, kid?"

Zhu Gaoshuo nodded.

"Hahaha!" Zhu Gaoxu laughed loudly, "Eldest brother, I never thought my good nephew would lose to the fourth brother who doesn't know martial arts!"

"Shh!" Zhu Gaochi rushed over, his plump body bobbing around. "Keep your voice down, or your father will hear you."

"What are you afraid of!" Zhu Gaoxu interrupted his eldest brother's speech, saying with some dissatisfaction, "Anyway, the old man knows I'm going to rebel. If he wants me not to rebel, then you'll have to live a few more years, eldest brother."

Zhu Gaochi chuckled, wiped the sweat from his face, and didn't seem angry at his second son's words.

But at that moment, the third brother also inappropriately came over.

"Fourth brother, if it weren't for this canopy, you would never have been qualified to come to Father's bedroom with the three of us brothers in your entire life."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoshuo felt somewhat helpless.

He knew that the third brother already had a problem with him.

Now he harbors even more resentment.

Indeed, in Zhu Gaosui's mind, even if his eldest nephew succeeded to the throne, it would be better than his fourth son.

The four of them entered Zhu Di's palace together, and immediately Zhu Di's cursing voices came from inside.

"Second Prince, kneel down before me!"

To save face, Zhu Di suppressed his anger in court.

After returning to his palace, he became increasingly angry.

Those brats, not one of them has been a worry since he died.

Especially the second son's inexplicable rebellion.

This gave the fourth prince the idea of ​​rebellion, and even provided him with an excuse to go north to serve the emperor.

Don't be fooled by Zhu Gaoxu's seemingly fearless demeanor just now.

When he saw Zhu Di get angry, he naturally knelt down with a thud.

Everyone understood that their father was angry because of the rebellion.

But Zhu Gaoxu wasn't the only one to rebel.

The third brother, seeing Zhu Gaoshuo still standing, said loudly in dissatisfaction, "Fourth brother, you've rebelled too! Kneel down now!" "His Majesty didn't tell me to kneel," Zhu Gaoshuo replied.

Before the third son could say anything, Zhu Di smashed the teacup in his hand at him.

Zhu Gaosui was not a fool. On the contrary, he had experienced this scene too many times and was extremely familiar with it, so he knelt down very naturally.

"Don't think I don't know, you must have been involved in the second son's rebellion!" Zhu Di said angrily.

"Father, I know I was wrong!" Zhu Gaosui said.

The eldest brother felt sorry for his two brothers and thought he should say something nice.

But before he could finish speaking, Zhu Di's roar rang out again.

"Boss, you kneel down too!"

Zhu Gaochi?
He knelt down with a thud.

Zhu Gaochi thought to himself: Father, I didn't rebel, my son was the one who was rebelled against.

"Look at your fat body! You've only outlived your father by ten months, and you still have the nerve to say that!"

Zhu Di grew angrier the more he thought about it; the Prince of Han's rebellion was indeed hateful.

But if the boss had been alive at the time, things certainly wouldn't have turned out this way.

Just like he did back then, if his eldest brother Zhu Biao were alive, he wouldn't have rebelled.

Thinking about this, Zhu Di felt it was absurd.

Their family's story seems to be repeating itself through history.

Zhu Di also felt a deep sense of helplessness; perhaps this was the nature of the imperial family.

Even the Heavenly Khan, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, could not prevent his sons from killing each other.

Zhu Di couldn't help but look at Zhu Gaoshuo.

I wonder if the fourth brother will have the ability to change this situation.

Zhu Gaoshuo, who felt Zhu Di's gaze, was immediately startled.

He thought Zhu Di was going to punish him.

Zhu Di suddenly walked towards him with a smile, then took his hand, and the two sat on the dragon bed.

Seeing this, the three brothers immediately glared and snorted.

They're all sons, what does the father mean by this?
Zhu Gaoshuo was at a loss, cold sweat pouring down his back.

Zhu Di was full of doubt. His fourth son didn't have any martial arts background?
He's just an ordinary person.

Seemingly noticing Zhu Gaoshuo's nervousness, Zhu Di patted him on the shoulder: "Just sit still today!"

Such differential treatment clearly displeased the three kneeling brothers.

The second son immediately objected: "Father, what do you mean? I accepted being punished for rebellion."

"But why should the fourth brother sit here? That kid is much more capable of rebelling than I am."

The third son, Zhu Gaosui, chimed in, "Yes, Father, you should punish the fourth son. Your precious grandson might die at his hands someday."

It would have been better if the third son hadn't spoken; once he did, Zhu Di's anger could no longer be contained.

"Why are you always picking on Fourth Brother? Don't think I don't know, you just look down on his background. He's your own brother!"

Seeing Zhu Di's furious expression, Zhu Gaoshuo raised an eyebrow. He felt like his father was putting on an act.

However, he couldn't figure out Zhu Di's thoughts, so he remained silent.

Zhu Di secretly glanced at Zhu Gaoshuo, and seeing that he did not react, he immediately shouted outside: "Bring me my whip! I want to teach this rebellious son, the third prince, a lesson and get justice for the fourth prince!"

Seeing that his father was serious, the third son was completely frightened.

I didn't do anything, so why is the old man so angry?

Unable to figure out what was going on, he hurriedly looked to Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi for help.

But the two brothers ignored it.

The two men had followed Zhu Di the longest and immediately understood the old man's intentions.

He wanted to get closer to the fourth brother.

Is this a move to abandon Zhu Zhanji and groom the fourth prince to become the next emperor?
The Crown Prince and the Prince of Han kept guessing at Zhu Di's true intentions.

“Father, I have indeed made a grave mistake in the future.”

Zhu Gaoshuo stepped forward to stop it.

However, his form of address caused Zhu Di to frown.

"You're either calling me Father or Your Majesty, what are you trying to do, brat?"

Zhu Di said sternly, "From now on, you will call them father, just like them."
