When the emperor's jade chariot arrived at the gate of the city, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi and his son saw that the city gate had been closed. The officers and soldiers on the gate were facing a great enemy, and the generals guarding the city were persuading the people outside the gate: "Your Highness, King of Han, Bei Yi has sent someone to report to Your Majesty. You can wait outside the city, as soon as your Majesty's order arrives, Bei Yi will open the door and invite Your Majesty to enter the city..."

"Shut up! You are a small city gate general, how dare you stop the reunion of the flesh and blood of the Tian family!" The voice of King Zhu Gaoxu from Han came from outside the city gate. After pausing for a moment, he continued to shout loudly: "When will your son visit his father and you still need someone to know? I know that you are the prince's person. Now that Zhu Gaochi is not here, there is no need for you to flatter you here... Open the city gate quickly. If you dare to push and stop, be careful that I will order people to attack the city. At that time, kill you bandits and soldiers without leaving any armor..."

"Your Highness, King of Han, you are so majestic..." Before Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, Zhu Di had already taken Zhu Gaochi to the city gate. At this time, the officers and soldiers on the city gate had knelt down to the emperor in one go. Zhu Gaoxu outside the city gate was stunned for a moment, then turned over and dismounted, and knelt down to the emperor on the city gate with his subordinates.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi saw that in addition to the ceremonial guards, there were three or five thousand soldiers following his younger brother. However, it was a bit far-fetched to say that he wanted to rebel. There were more than 100,000 imperial guards guarding the capital, and his few troops were far from being an opponent. The prince also deliberately searched for the figure of Eunuch He in the crowd. After searching for a while, he did not find any trace of this eunuch.

Zhu Gaoxu did not expect his father to come so quickly. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly burst into tears. While crying, he knelt down and kowtowed to his father. Zhu Di frowned and said to his second son: "Your Highness, King of Han, are you here to attend the funeral? Beast, you knelt outside the city gate and cried. Are you hoping that I will die soon!"

Zhu Gaoxu cried bitterly and said, "Father, you are misunderstood... Half a month ago, my son had a nightmare and dreamed that the prince suddenly attacked... He used conspiracy and tricks to collude with Wu Mian, Gui Bugui waited for the monks in the rivers and lakes to imprison you in the palace. Forced you to abdicate the throne to him, and you have suffered humiliation. My son was worried that this nightmare will come true, so he brought his troops to serve the king... My son was afraid that the report of the report would attract the prince's party's defense, so he went to Beijing without an explicit edict... Seeing that you are fine, your son was relieved..."

After hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Di looked at the prince standing beside him calmly. At this time, Zhu Gaochi seemed to have not heard the words of the King of Han, and he did not even have any intention of arguing.

"Zhu Gaoxu! You dreamed that the prince harmed me, so you brought your troops to serve the king. If you dreamed that I gave you the country, would you still have to bring the army to the peace and crisis?" Zhu Di sneered and continued to say to his second son: "Zhu Gaoxu, you should go to the city to be punished as a crime, and the troops you brought will be subject to the guardianship of the Five City Military and Horses. The soldiers will be exempted from being punished, and officials above the sixth rank will be sent to the imperial prison for punishment."

When the emperor spoke, tens of thousands of imperial guards in the city had arrived. The general guarding the city then felt confident and ordered people to open the city gate and let King Zhu Gaoxu enter the city alone. If there was any abnormal movement of the King of Han outside, the army in the city rushed out and could directly destroy the thousands of troops outside.

Zhu Gaoxu had almost no hesitation. After giving a few instructions to the thousands of households around him, he took off the service of the vassal king and walked into the capital in only his underwear. After the Han King entered the city, the army in the city rushed out and disarmed the thousands of people outside, and took care of the soldiers on the spot.

Seeing that the King of Han's army was arrested in a blink of an eye, Zhu Di did not let his second son come to argue. He just ordered Zhu Gaoxu to take care of him, and then issued several orders to dismiss all the officials from the King of Han's vassal area and investigate them. Then he asked about Zhu Gaoxu's route from Shandong to Beijing, and took all the civil and military officials along the way. How could these officials not know about the vassal king's vassal beings?

After several decrees were issued, Zhu Di took Zhu Gaochi back to the jade chariot and continued to head towards the palace.

When he returned to Yu Yan this time, the father and son did not speak, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. As he was about to arrive at the palace, Zhu Di finally spoke: "Crown Prince, what is Zhu Gaoxu's purpose for this time without an imperial edict?"

After Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly, he replied: "Your Majesty, from my son's perspective, the King of Han was disturbed by nightmares. He was worried about your life and death, so he rashly entered the capital..."

"That's how you see?" Zhu Di glanced at his fat son, then continued, "Then what he said in his dream, you colluded with Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and others to force me to abdicate the throne to you, the prince. How do you explain this?"

"This should be explained by the King of Han?" Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly and continued, "The dream was made by the King of Han. I really don't know how he did this dream, so there is no way to explain it."

When he said this, the prince paused and glanced at his father. He continued, "And he said that I colluded with Wu Mian and a great monk like Gui Bugui, do you still need to force Your Majesty to give way? The prince is the crown prince of the country. I have the help of those great monks, and that is the Ming Dynasty has the help of these people. My position as a prince is stable, so how can I force Your Majesty to give way? Go and find this infamous forever?"

After hearing what Zhu Gaochi said made sense, Zhu Di didn't say much. At this time, the jade chariot had arrived at the palace. According to the rules, even the prince could not ride the jade chariot with the emperor in the palace. At that moment, Zhu Gaochi got off the jade chariot and accompanied Zhu Di to continue walking into the palace.

However, after just a few steps, he heard his father's voice coming from the jade chariot: "Crown Prince, you have worked hard all the way, don't have to accompany me. Go back to your uterus to rest early, and I will naturally announce you if I have something to do..."

Zhu Gaochi didn't care about Zhu Di's two words. He saluted to the emperor in the jade chariot. After watching the jade chariot leave, he walked towards his prince's uterus with the company of several eunuchs who were close to him.

When he saw the Prince's Palace from afar, a loud noise suddenly came from behind him. When Zhu Gaochi and others looked back, they saw thick smoke coming out of the emperor's bedroom. A faint flame appeared in the smoke.

After seeing this scene, Zhu Gaochi did not dare to hesitate at all. He hurriedly led the eunuchs, guards and others around him to the location where the smoke was emitted. He met several eunuchs and guards on the way and asked them what was going on. However, these people were also confused and didn't know what was going on.

Not long after, the prince and his men ran to the emperor's bedroom, and saw countless eunuchs and guards rushed towards the bedroom with buckets in hand. The bedroom for this matter was already a sea of ​​fire, and someone could still scream. At this time, Zhu Gaochi saw the eunuch Bingbi standing outside the palace. After asking him, he realized that the emperor was still in the bedroom and did not come out.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi couldn't care much about it. He ignored his identity. He snatched the mop from the hand of the eunuch beside him, and after getting wet in the bucket, he led the way to the palace gate and kicked the door open. He held the mop while slapping the flames while calling out his father.

Finally, he saw Emperor Yongle who was on fire at the end of the bedroom. He was burned to death and screamed in pain. After seeing this, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly raised the mop in his hand to slap the flames on his father. When he was about to slap Zhu Di, he suddenly heard his father's stern voice: "Zhu Gaochi, do you want to kill the regict?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, a earth-shaking change occurred in front of Zhu Gaochi's eyes. The sky-surge fire just disappeared without a trace. Zhu Di sat on the chair, and the Zhu Gaoxu, who had just been taken to the palace, was blocking him.
