Chapter 31 The King of Han went to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom. What were you officials thinking?
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the next morning.
After Zhu Gaochi and the Princess of Han kissed, he got dressed and prepared to attend the morning court session.
"My lord, I'm waiting for your good news. I hope this time, we can successfully go to Yunnan to assume our fiefdom," the Princess Consort of Han said with a smile.
"Alas, my beloved concubine, don't be too happy yet. According to His Majesty's wishes, it seems there's no chance of him going to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom this time," Zhu Gaoxu said.
The Princess Consort of Han asked, "My husband, have you really made up your mind?"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, then said, "I've already prepared for the worst."
"If that's the case, then do we have no chance?" Princess Han was very worried.
"No matter what, we have to give it a try!"
"I will try anything, no matter how small the possibility."
The Princess of Han comforted him, saying, "My husband, whether or not you go to Yunnan in the end, I will support you."
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, walked out of the Prince of Han's residence, and went to attend the morning court session.
Along the way, everyone glanced at him; clearly, they were paying increasing attention to this Prince of Han.
There's nothing we can do about it; after all, he's showing his full potential right now.
He is now not only a master alchemist, but he has also taken elixirs that can restore his youth.
With his current prestige, everyone naturally looks at him with new respect.
When Zhu Gaoxu arrived at the entrance of Fengtian Hall, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaosui, and Haosheng Sun were all there.
"You've arrived quite early!" Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.
"Not bad." Zhu Gaosui smiled.
"Second Uncle, you...you really look younger?" Zhu Zhanji said.
"Nephew, what do you say?" Zhu Gaoxu grinned, revealing his bright white teeth.
Looking into his second uncle's eyes, Zhu Zhanji's heart skipped a beat.
He always felt that something bad was going to happen.
Zhu Gaoxu still harbored considerable resentment towards Zhu Zhanji.
Damn it, these past few nights, I've been dreaming about that kid Zhu Zhanji one night. He became emperor and even roasted me alive, turning me into a clay pot chicken.
This true historical event intruded into his dream, nearly scaring Zhu Gaochi to death.
That brat, one day I'll get him!
Zhu Gaoxu's smile startled the good grandson, who immediately hid behind his father.
"Zhanji, what are you afraid of? This is your second uncle. Go and greet him again," Zhu Gaochi said.
Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth slightly: "Second Uncle..."
"Good nephew, let your second uncle take a good look at you."
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but smile. He walked over and touched Zhu Zhanji's cheek.
"Nephew, you're so cute, your second uncle loves you to death!!" Zhu Gaoxu said.
Zhu Zhanji's face was almost crushed, but he dared not utter a word.
Because he was afraid of dying!
At the same time, everyone, from the cabinet to the civil and military officials, had arrived.
They all looked at Zhu Gaoxu!
This sight is truly breathtaking!
This Prince Han is truly amazing! He really did become younger after taking one pill!
No wonder the Crown Prince started giving instructions last night that we absolutely cannot agree to let the Prince of Han go to his fiefdom today.
They all knew that, given the Han King's abilities alone, how could His Majesty the Emperor bear to send him to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom?
Moreover, they had also heard that His Majesty the Emperor had apparently taken this Rejuvenation Pill.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Prince of Han!"
Immediately, everyone started greeting each other.
"You're too kind!" Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand casually.
Although he waved his hand, he felt uneasy.
For some reason, he had a feeling that something big was going to happen today.
The Prince of Han's eyelids twitched.
Boom!
Just as they were pondering this, the doors of the Fengtian Hall opened, and Little Snotty peeked out, exclaiming, "His Majesty has decreed that you may all enter!"
Seeing this, both the Crown Prince and Zhu Gaochi and others walked step by step into the Fengtian Hall.
Zhu Gaoxu had been staying at home during this time, and now that he had come to Fengtian Hall, he felt quite awkward.
In his opinion, staying at home and cultivating immortality is much better!
No, Yunnan is even more delicious!
With the emperor far away and the heavens high, if he wants to cultivate immortality, no one will care.
Looking at the capital, it seems that Zhu Di summons him whenever there's any trouble, which makes the Prince of Han feel uneasy.
Many people arrived at Fengtian Hall.
They were all waiting for Zhu Di.
Zhu Di, dressed in a dragon robe, walked step by step to the dragon throne.
"Ah...this..."
Everyone was shocked to see Zhu Di in this state!
Your Majesty, has he really become younger?
Is it really related to the Rejuvenation Pill refined by His Highness the Prince of Han?
In an instant, the King of Han once again became the focus of everyone's attention!
Because of this, no one looked down on this Prince of Han anymore.
"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"
Everyone knelt down and began to worship.
"Alright, get up, all of you." Zhu Di waved his hand, and the officials all stood up cautiously.
"During this period, the Crown Prince has been in charge of overseeing the country. Unless there is something major, I do not wish to ask any further questions."
"But now, I have summoned everyone here for only one thing."
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat; they knew that the crucial moment was finally about to arrive.
Zhu Di said, "I have summoned you all here today for only one matter."
"That's because of the Han King's policy of reducing the power of the vassal states."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed!
This is the moment he has been waiting for.
Before he could speak, Zhu Di looked at all the civil and military officials in the court.
"Tell me, is this Prince of Han actually capable of going to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom?"
Zhu Di glanced at the assembled officials and continued, "The Prince of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, insists on going to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom. Although Yunnan is a remote and peaceful place, it is also tranquil."
"This boy has repeatedly requested that I allow him to go to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom."
"I would also like to ask you all, what are your views on the matter of the Prince of Han taking up his fiefdom?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's heart skipped a beat.
He glanced at the assembled officials and thought to himself, "You've all long resented my staying in the capital."
Now that His Majesty the Emperor has this intention, you can't possibly object, can you?
"Your subject thinks..." Zhu Gaochi stepped forward, and his mouth opened slightly.
But before he could finish speaking, Zhu Di glared at him.
"Don't speak yet, I want to hear the opinions of the officials."
"Yes...yes..." Zhu Gaochi nodded hurriedly.
Zhu Di glanced at the civil and military officials, then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
"This time, the Prince of Han insists on going to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom. What do you officials think?"
"this……"
Everyone exchanged glances, but they also knew that the Crown Prince had given them a heads-up last night. The meaning was simple: the purpose of attending the morning court today was to prevent the Prince of Han from going to Yunnan to assume his fiefdom.
