Chapter 62: Third Brother, do you really think so?
Zhu Gang was already surprised that his father personally supervised Zhu Yunhuan's studies.
However, Zhu Yunhuan's subsequent reaction broke his cognition, turning his surprise into shock and shock.
"Grandpa Emperor, you are very busy every day and have to deal with many national affairs. Please don't bother you with such a small matter as your grandson's homework, okay?"
"If you have the time, why don't you take a nap? Why are you always staring at me..."
When Zhu Gang heard this, he was completely stunned. Is this grandson stupid?
Doesn’t the Emperor know whether his father is busy or not? Does he need you to remind him?
Your father, despite being so busy with all kinds of affairs, still finds time to check your homework. It would be fine if you didn't know how to be grateful, but you even dare to despise him!
When Zhu Gang thought of this, he immediately glared at Zhu Yunhuan and scolded him.
"Why don't you go back and do your homework? Why don't you just stand here and wait for me to beat you up?"
Zhu Yunhuan was really afraid of this big villain. After hearing this, he no longer dared to bargain with Old Zhu. He made a face at the big villain and ran away.
"lualualua..."
When Zhu Gang saw that his grandson dared to make faces at him, he immediately shouted.
"Stop right there, you little brat! I'm going to break your legs!"
Zhu Gang had intended to scare him, and when he saw his grandson running away like a rabbit out of fear, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Zhu Gang scared Zhu Yunhuan away, turned around, held Old Zhu's arm, and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.
"Father, I just tried to scare the uncle and nephew on purpose. I didn't actually see them go to that place."
Upon hearing this, Old Zhu gave a cunning smile .
"We know!"
"Just now, the Royal Guards came back to report to us. We were just using Youzi to scare that grandson. Hahaha!"
When Zhu Gang heard his father say this, he finally felt relieved.
He was really afraid that his father would have some opinion of Zhu Yunhuan and ruin the child's future.
Even if this child cannot replace his eldest brother in the future, there is still the stage of becoming king waiting for him.
The emperor's favor for this child is directly related to the quality of the fiefdom in the future.
Zhu Gang helped his father into the bedroom, and sat him down on the bed before asking tentatively.
"Father, I feel like there's something wrong with Zhu Yunhuan. He seems very different from before..."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his third son with a smile, with a hint of pride between his brows.
"Why, you found out too?"
Zhu Gang frowned.
"Yeah, I always feel that his temperament has changed a lot. Compared with before, he is like a different person."
When Old Zhu heard Zhu Gang say this, a look of sadness immediately appeared on his face.
"According to Doctor Hao, this child has suffered from the soul-leaving syndrome because of crying so hard over your elder brother's death."
"Soul separation syndrome?"
"Soul detachment, soul detachment, after the soul detachment, the past is no longer visible..."
"Doctor Hao also said that if you take good care of yourself, you'll be able to remember some of it after a while."
"However, I think some things should be forgotten, and it is better not to remember them."
"Isn't this child very happy now? He was able to get over the grief of losing his father so quickly, all thanks to this soul separation syndrome!"
"I think so too. I think Yunxun is doing well now. He has become more confident, cheerful, and courageous..."
When Old Zhu heard this, he looked at Zhu Gang with a strange expression.
"Third brother, don't you think this grandson is a little too courageous?"
Zhu Gang smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.
"He is indeed too bold, but I think this child is more responsible than before and will be able to do great things in the future!"
When Zhu Gang said this, his eyelids drooped involuntarily, but he kept paying attention to what was happening over there with the corner of his eyes and his ears.
When Old Zhu saw his third son behaving like this, he knew what this guy was thinking.
Zhu Gang was different from other princes. He had never been cunning since he was young. He would endure the beatings head-on. This guy would not cry out unless Zhu's anger was vented.
"Zhu Gang, don't get involved in some things. I haven't made up my mind yet."
"If my decision in the future is different from what you think, do you still want to raise an army to rebel against me?"
When Zhu Gang heard this, he was so scared that he immediately fell to his knees.
"Father, please understand!"
"My loyalty to you has never changed. How dare I have such a rebellious heart?"
Upon hearing this, Old Zhu was no longer as gentle as before. Not only did he not step forward to help him, he didn't even ask him to get up.
After a long while, Lao Zhu spoke meaningfully.
"Let me ask you, if we make your second brother the crown prince, would you be willing?"
When Zhu Gang heard this, he felt as if his brain exploded. After a long while, he stammered and spoke.
"I dare not object!"
When Old Zhu heard this, he knew what his third son was thinking.
The child said he didn't object, but in his heart he didn't agree.
"What if I establish your fourth brother?"
When Zhu Gang heard this, he immediately got furious and raised his eyebrows with disdain.
"Does he deserve it?"
Seeing his reaction, Lao Zhu kicked him and knocked him to the ground.
After being kicked, Zhu Gang just got up calmly, and then continued to kneel straight on the ground with a look of unwillingness on his face.
"What did you just say?"
"Didn't you say that you have never had such a rebellious heart?"
Zhu Gang explained unconvincedly after hearing this.
"Father, please understand!"
"I have never thought of becoming an emperor, because from childhood to adulthood, I have always firmly believed that the Ming Dynasty can only be ruled by you and my elder brother, and no one else is worthy!"
When Old Zhu heard this, his eyes turned red and he said angrily.
"Get up! Don't break the floor tiles of our bedroom by kneeling down..."
Zhu Gang seemed not to hear anything and continued kneeling straight.
"Father, if you have anything to say, just ask it all at once. I will answer it all in one go while kneeling down, so as to avoid the hassle of going back and forth!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was almost angry to death by these words and cursed angrily.
"You are a rebellious son!"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang cursed him, in his heart, apart from the deceased Crown Prince Zhu Biao, the one he loved the most was this third son.
Although the third brother has many faults, such as bad temper and rash actions, he is loyal and stubborn. Once he makes up his mind, nothing can change his mind.
"Let me ask you, now that your eldest brother is dead, who do you think should rule the Zhu family?"
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you said you wanted to be the emperor, I would seriously consider it!"
Zhu Gang said without any hesitation.
"Of course it should be the eldest brother's son!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted when he heard this, and he also wanted to establish Zhu Biao's lineage. But what he feared most was that if he established his grandson, the other princes would not accept it.
But if the third prince also thought so, even if one or two princes had ambitions, they would not dare to go beyond Prince Jin to grab the throne.
"Third brother, do you really think so?"
When Zhu Gang saw that his father questioned him, he immediately pointed to the sky and swore.
"If I have lied to you in any way, I will be extinct and have no descendants, and I will die without a burial place!"
When Lao Zhu heard this nonsense, he kicked him out again.
"Shut your dog mouth!"
"Who cares if you swear an oath?"
After being kicked out, Zhu Gang crawled back and knelt down again, but with a hint of a smile on his face.
My father is worried about me, hehehe...
When Old Zhu saw Zhu Gang's playful appearance, he was furious. But when he thought of how exhausted he was and how he had traveled day and night to get back, he couldn't bear to blame him too much.
"Go burn some incense for your elder brother, then go back and take a good bath and have a good sleep. Ten days later we will bury your elder brother..."
When Zhu Gang heard his father mention his elder brother, his eyes suddenly turned red.
"Your son will obey your father's order!"
Zhu Gang got up from the ground and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask another question.
"Father, isn't Shiri a little anxious?"
"My second brother, and my younger brothers, can they come back in time?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face immediately turned cold and he spoke in a sinister voice.
“Hehehe!”
"If they can't come back within ten days, they will never come back in their lifetime!"
