Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 210 Mom, another batch

At the end of the morning, the crown prince was disheartened. Everyone in the morning was making plans, but he was being scolded.

I don't know if it's because Zhu Di likes to scold his son more and more when he gets older, of course he liked it before.

After going out, Zhu Gaochi returned to the East Palace in a sullen manner, sighing along the way.

The two sons who came back with them were Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanchang, and Zhu Zhanzhen and Zhu Zhanji were busy.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the two sons who were very different in appearance and sighed: "The son has grown up, and he can't help his father."

Then he pointed to the one who looked more like him and said, "Zhanchang, do you really agree to send troops?"

"Go back to my father, my son agrees. Now that the Ming Dynasty is strong and the treasury is full, this time is indeed an opportunity."

"The vast land of the grasslands is taken down. How to maintain it? It's just to increase the expenses of Daming, and Daming's warships are powerful, but there is no way to use warships on the grasslands. Our greatest advantage is gone. We still have to rely on soldiers to fight, the people of the grasslands are sturdy, and in the end, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are still suffering.”

Zhu Gaochi is indeed worthy of the word benevolence. He is not like Zhu Xi to be an emperor of all ages. He is a very qualified monarch who guards success, but Zhu Xi is now going to expand the territory.

As soon as he thought of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanji, the fat father sighed. Zhu Zhanji paid less and less attention to him as a father in the past two years. He has all the power and position. Some useless fathers seem to have much less respect.

Maybe someone like him can't understand Zhu Gaochi's kindness.

There are some contradictions between father and son, and even history says that Zhu Gaochi's death was started by Zhu Zhanji. Of course, this is not very credible.

After speaking a few words of comfort, he told Fat Dad to stop fighting against Zhu Xi, so as not to make Zhu Xi unhappy.

"Zhanchang, I can reluctantly agree with you when you say that we attack Dongying. We have strong ships and cannons to back up, but the grasslands and deserts will not benefit the country even if they are attacked." Zhu Gaochi still insisted on his opinion.

Zhu Zhanchang said from a different angle: "If my father conquers the desert, and then conquers the Western Regions, then the Silk Road after the Han and Tang Dynasties can be smoothed across the board."

Zhu Zhanchang's words did not have any persuasive effect, but made Zhu Gaochi speechless: "Do you still want to fight after Da Mo?"

Zhu Zhanchang estimated that Zhu Xi's intention was like this, but now opening the Silk Road will not make Zhu Gaochi happy. As long as there is a war, Zhu Gaochi basically disagrees.

The persuasion failed, so Zhu Zhanchang went to find the crown prince first, and the matter of choosing a wife had to be taken seriously first.

The Crown Princess looked at the dozens of portraits in front of her sweetly and distressedly. They had been selected after a round of primary selection, and they were all of good looks and innocent families.

"How come there are so many girls with both good looks and good looks from the two capitals." The Crown Princess was sweetly distressed.

This kind of ancient PS cannot be believed. After Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong's selection of concubines, the crown princess has deeply understood this truth.

"Mother, what are you worrying about?"

"I'm not choosing a concubine for you. The scale of choosing a concubine this time is not smaller than that of your eldest brother."

Who doesn't want to cling to a powerful grandson?

However, in order to avoid conflicts, the Crown Princess meant to eliminate all the daughters of the Duke and Uncle's Mansion, which was considered a tacit rule.

Zhu Zhanchang looked at the girl who was selected over there, with some hesitation in his heart.

In his last life, he had never been married, and this was the first time. When he really wanted to choose a concubine, he realized that he was a little confused.

I originally thought that I could marry several wives anyway, so I would just hang it up if I didn't like it, but when I thought that it was the Ming media who was getting married, that it was my own married wife, and that it was my future wife, I couldn't help but change my mentality.

Could it be that the Zhu family's gene of affection is affecting me?
The princess has already been ordered, and Zhu Zhanchang can participate in the selection of the concubine by himself.

Zhu Zhanchang walked over, and the Crown Princess put the eight images in front of him and said, "See for yourself, which one do you like?"

After reading it from the beginning to the end, each painting looks like a fairy. If you can believe this kind of painting, there will be ghosts. After reading it, Zhu Zhanchang said, "Mother, another batch."

Hu Shanggong brought another batch of paintings, but Zhu Zhanchang was still not satisfied.

After seeing five or six batches of portraits in a row, Zhu Zhanchang was not satisfied.

"Zhanchang, how do you like it, you have to have an explanation, so that we can help you choose."

"Just... just..." Zhu Zhanchang couldn't say it for a while.

It's rare to see Zhu Zhanchang faltering like this, and he doesn't know what's going on?
Hu Shanggong said: "Prince Concubine, Your Highness may be shy, don't rush him, let him think about it for himself."

The Crown Princess was surprised. It shouldn't be. His sons have the thickest and firmest skin. He probably couldn't write the word shy, how could he be used to describe him.

"Mother, I'll go back to the yard and think about it."

After Zhu Zhanchang left, Hu Shanggong said, "Prince Concubine, I'll discuss it with His Highness later."

"Well, you can go later. This child hasn't been around for a few years, so maybe he's changed his temper."

In the small courtyard, Li Xiaozhu was painting, and Zhu Zhanchang walked over and asked, "Xiaozhu, do you like me?"

This sudden question caught Li Xiaozhu by surprise, and her cheeks reddened: "His Royal Highness is wise, mighty, and talented. Naturally, I like it."

Zhu Zhanchang went to Zara again: "Do you like me, Zara?"

"Like it."

Zhu Zhanchang finally realized why Zhu Zhanji didn't want to marry a strange woman.

I've never seen her, I've never been with her, but she has to be on top of someone who has been with me for a long time. You don't know what she is like, don't know her character, don't know how to get along?
Everything is unknown, but you have to choose her.

When Hu Shanggong came, Zhu Zhanchang discussed with her alone in the room.

"Your Highness, you have a choice in your heart." Hu Shanggong said bluntly.

Recalling that when Hu Shanggong was choosing a concubine for Zhu Zhanji, he quietly placed his sister on the throne, and Zhu Zhanchang said, "Hu Shanggong, do you want to be my concubine?"

"His Royal Highness, even if you are willing, the crown princess will not be willing. It is impossible for the clan, the etiquette, and the worldly relations. Shanwei has a promise from His Highness that you are willing to take me away. How dare you ask for anything. Concubine Zheng's name."

Zhu Zhanchang sighed: "Then choose for me, choose the one who is suitable to be the princess of Zhujiang County, with decent appearance, orderly words and deeds, just as everyone likes."

"Shanwei dare not."

"Why?"

"His Royal Highness has never let others make decisions. His Highness has to decide what matters to His Highness."
