Chapter: 60

"Father!"

The little Zhu Zhanji ran over wearing a middle coat, and Zhu Gaoxu could even see that the child's eyelids were sinking uncontrollably, as if he was extremely sleepy but had been waiting for him to finish the meeting.

Zhu Gaochi bowed slightly, trying to hold Zhu Zhanji in his arms.

But he suddenly felt dizzy, if not for the eunuchs trying their best to support him, he almost fell to the ground.

The moment he felt that he was about to fall, the thought that flashed through Zhu Gaochi's mind was that it would be a pity if Jiang Xinghuo, a rare talent like Jiang Xinghuo, was not used by the country.

Prison, punishment room.

In the gloomy room, all kinds of horrific instruments of torture were hung on the walls, and the indelible smell of blood lingered faintly around.

What was rather strange was that a man in a prison uniform was sitting on the grand teacher's chair with a golden knife.

Two guards with knives, one old and one young, stood in front of him instead.

"Help this matter well for the prince, and the benefits of my father and son are indispensable."

Zhu Gaoxu said flatly, he untied the goldfish bag from his waist and threw it over.

The old jailer's stubble was already turning white. He took the goldfish bag, weighed it lightly in his palm, and immediately smiled.

And the young jailer with a fleshy face next to him almost popped out his greedy eyes.

"father."

The old jailer glared at his son, put the goldfish bag in his arms, and assured Zhu Gaoxu with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I have been in this business since the Hongwu Dynasty, and I will definitely not lose anything."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the young jailer, and ordered impatiently: "Your son is a reckless... Be careful, don't mess it up."

In normal times, not only would Zhu Gaoxu not be so verbose, but he wouldn't even look at such jailers.

But after all, today is different from the past, Zhu Gaoxu is in the imperial prison, so he needs him, and the key is that Jiang Xinghuo is involved, so he said a few more words.

Yes, as the execution date approached, Zhu Gaoxu planned to rescue Jiang Xinghuo.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't just watch Jiang Xinghuo die, even though Jiang Xinghuo was already looking forward to that day.

Let's not say that Zhu Gaoxu is a more emotional person... Well, in other words, he is not so rational.

Jiang Xinghuo, as the only teacher he recognizes, is the existence that Zhu Gaoxu respects very much, who is also a teacher and a friend.

Even if it is purely from the perspective of interests, Jiang Xinghuo, who has a terrifying planning ability, will be the most powerful strategist for Zhu Gaoxu to make up for his shortcomings and compete for the position of crown prince.

Zhu Gaoxu knew very well what his weakness was.

Compared with his elder brother Zhu Gaochi, all the people he associates with are generals in the army. He can fight the world, but he can't rule the world.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo must not die!

But Jiang Xinghuo committed a major crime of implicating the ten clans, and Emperor Yongle personally committed the death penalty. Zhu Gaoxu thought about pleading with his father with a shy face, and his father didn't know Jiang Xinghuo, and he didn't know how valuable he was. It will not be open-minded.

This is also easy to understand, Fang Xiaoru has recruited many disciples, and the tenth clan has hundreds of people, why should he pardon Jiang Xinghuo alone?

Zhu Gaoxu simply chose the method of low cost and quick effect - risking his life.
