Chapter Eighty-One

"Ding ding ding ding hang hang..." The metal knocking sounded all morning.

Zhu Gaoxu walked into a downward room and saw a big man with a sleeve rolled up and a thick bone skeleton was swinging his hammer to forge things. The charcoal fire next to him was burning red. There were also Chen Dachui and two sergeant men standing in the room. When they saw Zhu Gaoxu first, they hurriedly bent down to salute.

"Bang!" Another hammer hit the chopping board.

Chen Dachui turned his head and said, "Zhang Junjiang, the prince is here."

Then Zhang Junjian turned his head and took a look, put down his hammer, clasped his fists and saluted, but said nothing.

"Is it almost repaired?" Zhu Gaoxu pointed to the heavy armor hanging on the wooden shelf.

Zhang Junjiang said, "Reply to the prince, your armor is made of cold forged by the iron in the green pond. The young man didn't find any good materials for a while, so he had to make repeated materials for repair. The work took a lot of time, and it would take at least five days."

Chen Dachui said: "Prince, Zhang Junjiang is someone I knew when I was a child. Don't worry, he is the best military craftsman in Peking and will definitely be able to make the prince's armor look like a new one."

"What's the name?" Zhu Gaoxu asked casually.

Zhang Junjian clasped his fists and said, "The youngest is called Zhang Junjian. His father is a military craftsman, and the youngest is also a military craftsman."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded. The Ming Taizu divided the people of the world into an orderly manner, and the craftsmanship was always the craftsmanship. The son inherited his father's business and ensured the source of manpower. There were more than 300,000 craftsmanship personnel who took turns serving the court, and there were also several times the number of craftsmanship.

He turned to Wang Gui and said, "Tell the people in the kitchen to add meat dishes to their food, and you have to eat well if you work hard."

Zhang Junjiang looked up at Zhu Gaoxu, "Young Prince Xie."

At this moment, Cao Fu walked in, bent over and came to Zhu Gaoxu, and whispered from the side: "Report to Prince, the third prince is here."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu said to the military craftsmen and others: "I won't delay your work, work harder, I'll wear this armor soon."

"Yes, Prince."

Walking out of the room, Zhu Gaoxu said directly, "Have you welcomed me?" As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw Zhu Gaosui wearing blue robe and eunuch Huang Yan, who had already walked past the screen wall.

Zhu Gaoxu walked up to greet him. Seeing Gao Sui saluting, he smiled and said, "Third brother, you are a rare guest!"

"My second brother is a busy man." Gao Sui also said.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the eunuch Huang Yan next to him and nodded slightly to him. Huang Yan looked a little surprised. He quickly hugged his fists and bent down to salute, "Greetings to King Gaoyang."

This eunuch Huang Yan was a person around the King of Yan before. Zhu Gaoxu had seen it, but he didn't have much contact... It was not until Zheng He mentioned last time that "Huang Yan was doing bad things behind his back" that Zhu Gaoxu took it seriously. No matter who is right or wrong, Zheng He is now a celebrity around the King of Yan, and it is definitely not an ordinary eunuch who can still fight against Zheng He.

Zheng He was strong, but Huang Yan was thin and thinner than Gao Sui. The master and servant were able to match each other together.

"Speak inside." Zhu Gaoxu raised his arm and made an action.

A few people walked through the hall together and sat in a living room in the outer hall. Cao Fu quickly called the maid to serve tea.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Gao Sui and found that his younger brother looked completely different from him. He was not short, had a tall and thin figure, and his face was white but pale.

At this time, Gao Sui glanced at Wang Gui standing beside him. Zhu Gaoxu smiled and turned around. Wang Gui bowed slightly and walked out, and closed the door.

Gao Sui immediately said in a deep voice: "The court sent the Jinyiwei to secretly send a secret letter to the prince's mansion!"

"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu was surprised and immediately became a little nervous.

Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a moment and asked, "Since it was sent quietly, how can I know if the third brother?"

Gao Sui turned his head and looked at Huang Yan standing. Huang Yan said, "I received a secret report first. Besides, the prince's conduct is strange. I arranged someone in the prince's house..."

"Second brother." Gao Sui said seriously, "We are brothers. I have to say something. My father has never liked my elder brother very much. You know. My second brother has made great contributions to my father in the past two years, and anyone with discerning eyes is optimistic about my second brother."

If it was a "real brother", Zhu Gaoxu should have believed it. However, at this time, Zhu Gaoxu had to consider a question: What can Gao Sui and Huang Yan get when they say these words behind the prince?

What does Huang Yan mean? Zhu Gaoxu didn't know the inside story for a while; but he still knew the relationship between the three brothers... The prince used to be okay with both younger brothers, including Gao Sui.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything for a while, Gao Sui said in his voice: "Let's go and report to your father!"

Zhu Gaoxu still didn't answer, and many fragments suddenly appeared in his mind. He used to pay attention to other things and didn't care much, but after a while, it became clear!

...Last year, Gao Sui, who was young and had no martial arts skills, hid behind him, but stabbed a soldier who could no longer get up with a knife.

...When Zhu Gaoxu and the prince gave each other a horse on the road, Gao Sui kept sitting on his horse, with no intention of dismounting, and he didn't say anything at first.

...Pein was besieged at the end of last year, and the King of Yan took away the main force, Gao Sui was among them, and did not stay in the city of Beiping, which was attacked by heavy troops.

This younger brother is really just trying to help his second brother?

"Third brother, something is wrong." Zhu Gaoxu said, "This is a plan of disagreement!"

"Second brother!" Gao Sui frowned, "We are not the ones who colluded with the imperial envoys."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at his younger brother and Huang Yan quietly, and said earnestly: "I know my third brother is closer to me, but our biggest enemy is the treacherous ministers of the court. Don't fall into their treacherous plan."

Gao Sui showed an ugly smile, "When did the second brother become so sensible?"

Huang Yan also advised: "Actually, the prince is of no use to the Yan Prince's Mansion."

"Oh..." Zhu Gaoxu sighed, "I really have no thoughts now. As long as my father can win, aren't our brothers still good princes in front of him? There is nothing wrong with being a prince. Even if the eldest brother makes a wise man, the second brother wants to recommend the third brother to be the one."

"Ha!" Gao Sui smiled in surprise, "Why is it my turn? Second brother's joke is too ridiculous."

Zhu Gaoxu also smiled and thought to himself: The genius of King Yan’s “Jingnan” believed that he would become the emperor once he won, and Gao Sui was also the legitimate son of King Yan. He really had no idea at all? In fact, Gao Sui was not completely hopeless. There is a situation where he could be his turn, that is, the prince and King Gaoyang were finished playing!

But now the prince is in that position, so Gao Sui and Zhu Gaoxu are closer.

...Zhu Gaoxu certainly hopes that his evil imagination is wrong.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head, looked at Gao Sui with his side face, and sighed deeply, "I'm not kidding. If my third brother had seen the tragic situation on the battlefield I saw, he would feel tired. It's actually not interesting. It depends on how difficult and hard my father worked! Besides, I only like to ride a horse, so I can't go out easily as the prince."

Gao Sui looked unhappy and shook his head and said, "Forget it, but you must report this to your father!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "That's true."

At this moment, Wang Gui's voice came from outside the door, "Prince, Prince..."

"Come in and talk." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Huang Yan whispered: "Are all the servants in Gaoyang's mansion like this?"

Wang Gui pushed open the door and said at the door: "Zheng He is here and said there is something important to see the prince!"

Huang Yan immediately stood up. Seeing his panic, Zhu Gaoxu knew it clearly and hurriedly said, "Don't be impatient. Zheng He must be here to pass on the words of his father, and he will not come in. Third brother, you sit and drink tea with peace of mind, and I will come when I go."

Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the living room and came to the outer courtyard on the other side of the screen. He immediately saw the eunuch Zheng He with a whisk holding a whisk.

Zheng He stepped forward to greet him and said directly, "King Gaoyang, the third prince is in your mansion? King Yan summoned the two to the front hall to meet immediately."

"Eunuch Zheng, let me speak with you." Zhu Gaoxu said.

The two then walked into a downward room. Zhu Gaoxu also said straight to the point: "Is it because my father summoned us to secretly write to the prince?"

Zheng He looked up at him, nodded slightly, "Huang Yan has reported secretly."

Zhu Gaoxu frowned: Third brother came here today, aren’t they here to discuss it? They just came to pull himself into the gang.

He paced back and forth on the ground and spoke, "Gao Sui and Huang Yan seem to be very dissatisfied with the prince."

Zheng He said: "Huang Yan has an old grudge with the prince. I don't know the third prince."

Considering that Zheng He was the confidant of King Yan, Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "I'm wondering too. They came to the door today and kept saying that the prince was not good, and even advised me to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to get the prince down!"

"Ah!" Zheng He opened his mouth and stared at Zhu Gaoxu blankly.

Zhu Gaoxu whispered: "Eunuch Zheng is sincere to me. If I have anything to do, how can I hide it from you?"

Zheng He was silent for a while and said calmly: "I am the one who serves the King of Yan, and I only have the King of Yan in my heart."

"Okay!" Zhu Gaoxu reached out and patted Zheng He on the shoulder, "It is rare to be a loyal person, and this is one of the reasons why I appreciate Eunuch Zheng's character."

After hearing this, Zheng He seemed to feel relieved, "Thank you, King Gaoyang."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Then Eunuch Zheng will go back and report first. Gao Sui and I will prepare to meet our father immediately."

"Goodbye." Zheng He bowed with fists.

Zhu Gaoxu watched Zheng He go out, and he also turned back to the outer hall and saw Gao Sui and Huang Yan inside. Zhu Gaoxu pretended to be surprised and surprised, "The father may already know about that, otherwise why would he be in a hurry to summon us?"

Gao Sui and Huang Yan looked at each other without any surprise expression. Gao Sui said, "Then I will say goodbye first and I will talk to my father later."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Zheng He passed the message and saw that his father's place was in the front hall."

After sending Gao Sui out of the door, Zhu Gaoxu went back to his room to change into a group of dragon suits and prepared.

He wore a black veil and a red robe, but he walked under the eaves for a while... In fact, he was also very turbulent, and sometimes he fantasized that if he overturned the prince, wouldn't all his problems be solved?

Zhu Gaoxu still shook his head vigorously again.

In fact, many people in the Yan Palace who were eager to choose sides made a fatal mistake! They thought that power could be fought for. But under a powerful lord like Yan, fighting for it is useless. Whoever takes over is only depends on the will of Yan.
