Gao Chi of the Ming River

November 1391 AD.

The Southern Army besieging Beiping was suddenly attacked at night. Zhang Yu led five thousand elite soldiers and set fire to the Southern Army's camp!

The Southern Army was in chaos.

At the same time, the Zhangye Gate quietly opened, and an army in black military uniform quietly left Beiping.

**********

At the same time in Nanjing, Xu Mansion...

Xu Zengshou spread out the note in his hand:

open the door.Seven days.

Xu Zengshou slowly closed the note, pinched it tightly, took a deep breath, looked up at the bright moon outside the window, and finally, it was about to start!

*********

In the imperial city of Nanjing...

Zhu Yunqi looked at the report in his hand, sighed in a low voice, and murmured, "Zhu Gaochi, don't blame me, it's fine if you're gone now, so... it's a kind of relief."

Huang Zicheng, who was kneeling at the bottom, chuckled, "That's true! Now that Zhu Gaochi is dead, King Yan has stayed behind closed doors since he returned to Beiping. Wang, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui and others! These are nothing to be afraid of!"

Zhu Yunqi was silent for a while when he heard the word Zhou Wang, and then said calmly, "Let's solve it as soon as possible."

"Yes! I obey the order!" Huang Zicheng seemed to be in a good mood, bowed his hands in salute, and stepped back respectfully.

********

Fang Xiaoru stood in the study, silently looking at the letter spread out on the table: Brother Fang:

Please be sure to be the teacher of Yan Wang Shizi Zhu Gaochi!

Dao Yan pen

A very short letter, only such a sentence.

But this sentence also reveals a lot of information.

The teacher of Prince Yan's son?

That means that Prince Yan's son is not dead!Thinking of Huang Zicheng excitedly talking about the death of King Yan's son when he saw him today, Fang Xiaoru smiled sarcastically.

Must be a teacher?

Is it... King Yan is going to attack Nanjing soon?Fang Xiaoru was thoughtful, now that Beiping has been besieged for days but has not been captured, the battle situation has come to a standstill, if the current battle situation is to be broken, there are only two possibilities, one, Peiping is captured!One is... Nanjing was captured.

If King Yan's son is really not dead, then King Yan is so quiet now, he must have some tricks!

Nanjing - danger!

Fang Xiaoru's expression became serious, and he subconsciously stood up abruptly.

But glanced at the letter on the table, and sat down slowly.

The last sentence of the letter...

What is better for Daming?

It was a question, a very inexplicable question.

After finishing the content of the letter, I abruptly added this sentence...

What is better for Daming?

Fang Xiaoru closed his eyes and sighed lightly, there was no other way.

His eyes opened slowly again, staring at the two words on the letter: Be sure to

Is it because you are afraid that you will be stubborn?

Fang Xiaoru helplessly raised the corners of his mouth into a smile, as expected of Dao Yan.

It's just that, knowing my own temper, I still sent such a letter, why bother?

Pick up the letter on the table, put it on the candle, and slowly watch it burn to ashes.

Fang Xiaoru's expression gradually became firm, he has a sense of justice in his heart!He has his own persistence!

So, Dao Yan, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint your good intentions!

************

Zhu Gaochi sat on the chair, looked at the blue sky above his head, exhaled, and finally could bask in the sun well.

Just thinking about the Southern Army still surrounding Beiping outside, Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly, picked up the letter in his arms, and wanted to read it carefully.

At this time, a hehe laugh sounded, "My son... is still so serious."

Zhu Gaochi was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look, only to see Daoyan standing at the gate of the courtyard.Just as he was about to get up, Dao Yan hurried forward, waved his hand to stop him, "You don't need to be polite, your body hasn't recovered yet, just take a good rest."

Zhu Gaochi smiled shyly, touched his head, and sat down, "Teacher should also rest more." He wondered again, at this time, shouldn't Teacher Monk be defending the city?Then he asked again, "Teacher is here now, but..."

Dao Yan slowly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. After yesterday's fire, the southern army's offensive has weakened a lot today, and its morale has also been greatly affected. The Prince of Zhou is strategizing, and with the various arrangements that your Majesty made before, the people of Peiping are now Peace of mind, good order, and high morale!"

Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled gently, "That's good. Thank you for your hard work, teacher."

Dao Yan waved his hand, and said solemnly, "The one who should say the hard work should be the son. Before the son... really took great pains!" Dao Yan said the last four words with some meaning.

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, looking at Dao Yan, as if he had something to say, but he didn't say it directly for some reason.

Zhu Gaochi frowned and said with a smile, "The teacher is here today, but do you have something to say to Gao Chi? There are no outsiders here, so why don't you just say it straight, teacher."

Dao Yan pondered for a while, then looked up at San Bao who was standing respectfully not far away.

Zhu Gaochi followed Daoyan's line of sight, smiled, and said to Sanbao, "Sanbao, you should step back first."

"Yes!" San Bao hesitated, but still respectfully exited the courtyard.

"Teacher, please tell me." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Dao Yan's expression was complete, and he said solemnly, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard the saying, 'If you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers, if your ministers don't keep secrets, you will lose your body, if you don't keep secrets, you will lose your body, and if you don't keep secrets, you will be harmed.'"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned, nodded and said, "I heard, this is what Confucius said."

Dao Yan looked serious, "My lord, please remember this sentence firmly." After finishing speaking, Dao Yan fell silent.

Zhu Gaochi frowned. The so-called "If the emperor does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, if his ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his status, and if few things are kept secret, he will suffer." This means that the monarch and his ministers should also pay attention to what should be said and what should not be said, after all , is the emperor after all, if he lost his sense of proportion, he would...

Zhu Gaochi looked at Dao Yan with some understanding, the teacher was worried... he and his father...

"Teacher, Gao Chi understands." Zhu Gaochi nodded thoughtfully.

Dao Yan smiled slightly, the son is really smart.

Then put his hands together and said solemnly, "My lord, there is one more sentence—"

Zhu Gaochi looked up.

"People are always different according to the change of position."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a while, and then smiled wryly.

Teacher Monk...is this implying that if the father is no longer the father, but the father...do you have to pay attention to your identity?

Too……

At that time, in front of the biggest power in the world... perhaps, there will be some changes.

Zhu Gaochi raised his head to look at Dao Yan with a solemn expression, frowned his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Gao Chi understands, the teacher has troubled you."

Dao Yan smiled and nodded, "My lord, there are some things, it's always better to be prepared."

Zhu Gaochi smiled gently, "Gaochi understands."

After chatting a few more words, Zhu Gaochi let out a long sigh after watching Dao Yan leave.

He really understands.

After all, it is also a human being for two lives.Even if some things in the previous life are almost forgotten, some things are still engraved in my heart.

But, even so, there was... no way out between him and his father.

And he believed that his father would not allow himself any retreat.

Thinking of Taiji Wu telling himself with a serious and guilty face in front of his father yesterday that he might have no heirs.And this morning, he came secretly again, handed himself a note, and told himself that he could actually have children...

Regarding this, Zhu Gaochi was very speechless.

His father threatened Doctor Wu yesterday and told him that he had no heirs. Was it because he was afraid that he would think about getting married?

Do you not want to have a woman yourself?

He doesn't really care about the issue of heirs, he just thinks about the vaguely cute son in his previous life, and it's just a pity.

Anyway, there is still Gao Xu Gaosui, even if he cannot inherit the throne in the future, ahem, of course, his father will definitely be able to ascend the throne! !Nanjing must win this battle!Well, Zhu Gaochi waved his small fist in his heart.

He has no intention of the throne, what he wants most now is to be able to roam around the world leisurely.

But, this is unlikely.

Will his daddy let him go?

And he...was reluctant to leave his father.

So, probably, it was with his father.

Therefore, it was unnecessary for his father to go to great lengths to make Wu Taiyi lie.

Thinking of last night, Zhu Gaochi wanted to cover his face with a gentle face comforting his father, really!The words of comfort turned out to be——

"Chi'er, children are very troublesome! It's not fun! If you want, in the future, when things are settled, let Gao Xu Gaosui marry, let them have seventy or eighty children, and adopt one to you! Of course, Don't raise it yourself, it's too troublesome..."

What does it mean that children are troublesome and not fun!

Then what happened to teasing myself all day when I was young! !

besides!Seventy or eighty children? !

When is it a piggy?

Although their surname is Zhu...

It's really - Daddy Bastard!

*********

Zhu Di, who was still on his way, suddenly sneezed——

"Father?" Gao Xu rode forward and asked, "But did you catch a cold?"

Zhu Di rubbed his nose, shook his head slowly, but he wondered in his heart, could it be that Chi'er missed himself?

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Father, why don't we take a break?" Gao Sui also stepped forward and asked.

Zhu Di glanced at the soldiers around him. Although he could see that he was tired, he was still in good spirits, so he said lightly, "Take a break!"

After dismounting and looking at the mountains not far away, Zhu Di spoke abruptly.

"Gao Xu."

"Father?"

"After the matter settles down, you can find a woman you like by yourself and get married."

"..."

"Although your elder brother's injury can be healed this time, it also left future troubles. I'm afraid that he will have no heirs in this life. So, when the time comes, you or Gao Suisheng will give birth to your elder brother..."

Gao Xu was silent for a while, looked up at Zhu Di's faint expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it because elder brother really can't help it, or... Father, you don't want to?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and stared at Gao Xu with sharp eyes, "I don't want to, so what?"

Zhu Gaoxu was speechless for a moment.

He never expected that his father would be so calm...

But the one on the other side kept his head down quietly and listened to Gao Sui's opening. Although he hesitated, he still mustered up the courage to speak.

"Father...this is not fair to eldest brother!"

When Zhu Di heard this, he smiled. The smile was very light, but there was such an air of flamboyance, "It's not fair! So what?!"

"I gave my life to Chi'er, and Chi'er gave me his life. That's all."

Before turning around to leave, Zhu Di said lightly.
