Chapter 678 Majesty?
Li Jie wanted to speak but stopped, Zhu Gaochi also saw something, and immediately asked: "Brother-in-law, do you have something to say to me?"
Seeing Zhu Gaochi asking on his own initiative, Li Jie finally made up his mind to say what he should say. Of course, there are some things that need not be said too clearly. With Zhu Gaochi's intelligence, he would definitely understand them.
Thinking of this, Li Jie finally spoke: "Gao Chi, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are more mature and steady than before. And I also saw the shadow of the late emperor from you. If he could see you, he would definitely be very happy."
When Zhu Gaochi heard Li Jie say that he looked like Zhu Biao, he said excitedly: "Really, will my uncle really like what I am now?"
"Of course, I know the late emperor best. He even always feels that His Majesty is not as steady as him. He often talks about you because in his opinion, you are more like his son than His Majesty." Li Jie also smiled again and said.
This is not Li Jie's words, but Zhu Biao's original words. If he hadn't had a son, he would have told Zhu Di to adopt Zhu Gaochi as his son. After all, he was really satisfied with Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi's face turned red when he heard this, but soon he said sadly: "Uncle is so kind to me, but unfortunately his illness came too suddenly. When the news of his illness reached Goryeo, I even thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect that Uncle really left. When I arrived in the capital this time, I would also go to worship my uncle in person!"
Seeing the sad Zhu Gaochi, Li Jie nodded secretly. He wanted this effect, so he rang the railway while it was hot: "Gaochi, although you are very similar to the late emperor, in my opinion, you have less than the late emperor!"
"Little one? What is it?" Zhu Gaochi asked with wide eyes when he heard this.
"This..." Li Jie did not rush to answer, but pondered for a while before speaking again, "Gao Chi, I think Gao Xu is quite similar to your father. How do you think he is better than your father?"
"That's definitely not comparable. Although Gao Xu learned his father's courage, he was not as good as his father. Moreover, his personality was far from his father, and he would never have the achievements of his father in his life." Zhu Gaochi's words were not deliberately belittled Zhu Gaoxu, but a pertinent evaluation as a brother.
After hearing this, Li Jie nodded, then suddenly smiled and said, "Then what do you think your father is towards your uncle?"
When Zhu Gaochi heard the question of Li Jie, he was also stunned. He seemed to guess what Li Jie was going to say, but he still answered truthfully: "My father respects his uncle very much. It can even be said that in his father's heart, besides his grandfather, he has the highest status. As long as his uncle needs him, he will help him even if he goes through fire and water!"
"Yes, in fact, not only your father, but also King Fusang, King Zhou and others. They all respect the late emperor in great awe. Do you know why this is?" Li Jie raised a key question to Zhu Gaochi.
"This..." Zhu Gaochi seemed to be considering this issue for the first time. After pondering for a long time, he finally looked up and replied tentatively, "Is it because my uncle's are outstanding that my father and his brothers are convinced that they are so respectful to my uncle?"
"Haha, the talents of the late emperor are indeed quite outstanding, but which of your father's brothers is mediocre? If you rely solely on your talents, I'm afraid that the late emperor will not convince all the brothers." Li Jie smiled and shook his head.
Zhu Gaochi felt that it made sense when he heard Li Jie's words, so he pondered again, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he finally shook his head and said, "I don't know what the uncle can rely on to make his father and the others so awe?"
"Majestic!" Li Jie replied solemnly.
"Majestic?" Zhu Gaochi frowned when he heard this answer, because Li Jie's answer was too abstract.
"It is majesty. The late emperor and your father grew up together. At that time, Emperor Taizu fought everywhere. The late emperor brought a group of brothers to practice literature and martial arts. As the saying goes, the elder brother is like a father. The late emperor established his majesty as the elder brother among his brothers early, and the Taizu Emperor trusted him. Therefore, no matter how the changes in the future, your father and others were a bit awe of the late emperor. Facing him was like facing Emperor Taizu."
"This..." Zhu Gaochi thought again after hearing this. After a while, he looked up and said, "It seems that this is true, but brother-in-law, you also said that uncle's majesty has been cultivated since childhood. I'm afraid it's too late now."
Zhu Gaochi had just realized that Li Jie was using Zhu Biao as an example to warn him about his relationship with his two younger brothers. After all, although Zhu Gaochi was generous, he was not stupid. He was very clear about the personalities of his two younger brothers. He even realized the ambitions of the two brothers long ago. As the elder brother, he felt that he should be generous, so as long as the two did not do too out of line, he would not bother to pay attention to it.
Seeing that Zhu Gaochi really understood what he meant, Li Jie smiled with satisfaction, then patted Zhu Gaochi on the shoulder and said, "You will definitely not be able to cultivate the majesty of your brother, but some things still need to be prepared in advance, especially if your father went to America this time, he would definitely create another Ming Dynasty, so you will be the lord of a country in the future. Then you don't want to see the tragedies in history repeating, right?"
Li Jie's words also shocked Zhu Gaochi. In history, brothers were killed by the battle for the throne. Zhu Gaochi was also anxious when he thought that he and his two younger brothers might have taken that step.
"Please teach me my brother-in-law!" Zhu Gaochi was still very smart and immediately asked Li Jie for advice.
"You, you're so anxious. Didn't Emperor Taizu teach you a way long ago?" Li Jie smiled and said to Zhu Gaochi.
"Grandpa Emperor has taught me?" Zhu Gaochi was stunned at first when he heard this, then reacted, and immediately slapped his thighs and said, "I understand, just like my father and the second uncle, give them manpower and material resources, and let them go outside to make trouble!"
"Yes, it's much more convenient for you than the Ming Dynasty, because there are too many unbordered lands in the Americas. As long as they are willing, they can find a place to establish a country. Anyway, America is so big, it's enough for you brothers to do it!" Li Jie also laughed again at this time.
In fact, this method is just a bad strategy. After all, if Zhu Di wants to guide America, it is best for the father and son to work together to use their strength to play the greatest role. However, Zhu Gaochi couldn't do it, so he could only use this bad strategy.
