historical royal courier

Chapter 175
"Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Han is seeking an audience outside."

"Why is he here, forget it, let him in."

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Zhu Di rubbed his forehead with his hands. The new dynasty was just established, and all kinds of troubles were waiting for him to deal with.

Moreover, the lower-level government offices have not been established, so there is not even a person to help share the worries, so he can only keep himself busy all day long.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"My son Gao Xu pays his respects to Father Emperor."

Hearing the dull footsteps, Zhu Di opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with his head down, and said:
"What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

"Children. Sons"

Zhu Di wrinkled his forehead tightly, his son is usually a carefree person, what's going on today?

"If you have something to say, don't be a mother-in-law, just like a girl, don't you usually hate this the most?"

"I...."

Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth and directly said what he wanted to say:
"I came to look for my father today because I want to ask my father a question."

"What's the problem, let's talk."

"My son wants to ask, I want to ask, my son wants to know, did my father always lie to me before?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head deeply, and Zhu Di didn't open his mouth to speak, so the hall fell into a strange silence.

Tick, tick.
Looking at the sweat dripping from his forehead to the ground, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly regretted it. He knew the result clearly, so why bother to ask his father?

"Why did you suddenly think of asking this today?"

Walking down the steps, Zhu Di walked up to Zhu Gaoxu, staring closely at his son who has always been reckless.

"My son, my son just wants to understand."

Seeing Zhu Di coming over, Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head even further.

"Hey, Gao Xu, there are some truths that you should have understood a long time ago."

After touching the son's head, Zhu Di rarely showed a little kindness on his face.

"Actually, I like you more than your elder brother. Compared with your elder brother's sickly appearance, your appearance and martial arts hobbies are actually more like me, so father didn't lie to you at the beginning. Father was real at the beginning. I thought about letting you be the prince."

"But why, I found someone to ask, and I also read the history books you brought back, father. Why did I end up in the situation where my whole family died tragically? I don't want to accept it, father! I don't want to accept it!" "

Facing Zhu Gaoxu's questioning, Zhu Di did not get angry, but continued to explain patiently.

"Because when you sit in this position, you can't help yourself with many things. As my father just said, you are indeed very similar to my father, but what's the use? After the world is in chaos, what the world needs is Dazhi."

"Now that I have taken this position, what I consider is no longer the gains and losses of our family, but the gains and losses of the people in the world. Your character is the same as mine, a brave and warlike temperament, but that's why , I can’t let you be the prince, and I can’t let you be the emperor.”

Zhu Di pulled Zhu Gaoxu to the side and sat down, then leaned back on the chair and moaned comfortably.

"The people of the world are tired of wars and chaos. What the people need now is stability, and what they need is a monarch with a mediocre personality to bring about great rule. Your brother is much more suitable than you for this."

Zhu Di had reached this point, and Zhu Gaoxu did not continue to mess around.

In fact, he understood what Zhu Di said. Just like Qin Shihuang also knew that the people of the world were struggling, so he arranged Fu Su to be the next successor. Just like Lao Zhu knew that the world needed stability, so he arranged Confucian professor Zhu Yunwen to be his successor.

But Zhu Gaoxu just wanted to hear Zhu Di tell him personally. Now that Zhu Di said it, his inner knot was naturally untied.

"Thank you very much, Father, for relieving my worries. I understand, and I will never fight against my eldest brother again in the future."

"Well, as long as you understand, do you have any other questions?"

"No more, my son will retire today, father, you should also pay more attention to rest."

"Ah."

When Zhu Gaoxu was about to reach the door, a voice suddenly called him from behind.

"Gao Xu, my father still lacks a vanguard general for this Northern Expedition. I wonder if you have any ideas?"

"Yes, of course, but can I serve as a son-in-law?"

Looking at Zhu Di, Zhu Gaoxu was very surprised, why would he ask himself this.

"Hahaha, you are my son, Zhu Di. I said you can do it, but who dares to say no? You go back and prepare well."

"Well, my son, thank you, Father."

Stepping out of the gate and looking at the sun in the sky, Zhu Gaoxu showed a cheerful smile again.

That's right, why should I worry about that position? My elder brother and nephew are pretty good people, and they won't treat me badly.

Since this is the case, wouldn't it be good to eat, drink, and fight battles by yourself?

"Mr. Li, the call has been made. The two elders said they will come over tonight."

"That's not possible. How could I come here in person just to let the two old people meet me? I should be the one to visit them in person."

"This....."

Wang Xiang was very satisfied with Li Yi's words, but he couldn't say it clearly, he could only act happier.

"Go, Mr. Wang, go make a call and help me arrange transportation. I heard that my sister is also here. I'll talk to her first."

"Okay, please wait a moment, Mr. Li, I will make arrangements right away."

After Wang Xiang left, Li Yi had someone push him to the big room next door. As soon as he entered the door, there was a lot of lovely greetings.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

"Princesses, princesses, princesses, hello."

Li Yi glanced at it with a smile, tsk tsk, this team is getting bigger and bigger, not only the original No. 30 followed, but also a dozen or so modern ladies.

Seeing the figure next to Li Lin, Li Yi was stunned suddenly. He didn't expect it to be his old friend, Liu Yan.

"Liu Yan, long time no see!"

"Yeah, long time no see."

Seeing that Li Yi was still eager to greet him as before, Liu Yan also responded eagerly.

"How are you?"

"I'm still not what I used to be. I do business, deal with orders, and come out to play when I have time. I'm doing pretty well."

"Well, it doesn't look like much has changed."

Li Yi pretended to look at Liu Yan carefully,
"And it seems even more beautiful than before."

"Hahahahahaha, Li Yi, your mouth has never been so good at speaking before."

"No, no, it's just the truth."

Women are naturally jealous creatures. When the women around them saw Li Yi and Liu Yan chatting so happily, they all felt as if they were jealous. A sour smell immediately filled the room.
