I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 15 My dad is actually really cowardly.

Two quarters of an hour later, the exhausted Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, lay sideways on the carpet, and looked at a palace lantern hanging at the door.

Zhu Zhangui, who was next to him, rubbed his buttocks and sucked in the air.

This old man is really ruthless.

The scar on the back is still not healed, and the buttocks are swollen again.

Thinking about the past few days after returning from the sea, it seems that there has been no rest, either being beaten, or on the way to be beaten.

"Son, who do you think did this?"

After looking at the palace lantern for a while, Zhu Di kicked Zhu Zhangui who was still breathing.

The pain in his butt was unbearable, Zhu Zhangui, who didn't dare to sit on the ground, could only lie on the ground and look at the old man.

"I don't know who did it, but it definitely wasn't my dad."

"Why are you so sure!" With a sidelong glance at Zhu Zhangui, Zhu Di became interested, found a comfortable position, and waited for Zhu Zhangui's explanation.

"My father is the crown prince. He has supervised the country for so many years, and his subordinates are all over the entire Mingzhou county. He is the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, except you."

"Besides, you are so old, to be disrespectful, my father doesn't have to do anything, just wait."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhangui in surprise.

He didn't expect that this second grandson, who usually loves to mess around, could see it so thoroughly.

Not to mention Zhu Zhanji, even the second and third child didn't see it.

"This reason doesn't seem to be enough. What if he is impatient and wants to take over the power in advance?"

Seeing that the old man wanted to test, Zhu Zhangui smiled smugly and was about to answer when a pain came from his back and buttocks.

"hiss!"

Taking a deep breath, You Yuan glanced at the old man.

Zhu Zhangui pulled a cushion from the chair next to him, lay down on the chair and looked at the old man and said, "It's possible, but only if my father dares."

"Why doesn't your father dare?"

Zhu Di habitually squinted his eyes and continued to ask questions.

Zhu Zhangui chuckled, glanced at the little snot standing in the distance, and whispered to the old man: "My father's cowardice is not pretending, he is really cowardly."

Zhu Di was stunned, and looked at Zhu Zhangui in confusion.

"Isn't it pretending?"

Zhu Zhangui nodded affirmatively.

"My father grew up under your disdain and reprimand. As time goes by, over time, he is afraid of you. It really comes from the bottom of his heart."

"Grandpa, you never imagined what my father would do."

Zhu Di came a little closer with interest, wanting to hear what his grandson thinks of his father.

"Let's use an analogy!"

"Even if you put all the army in my father's hands, and then wrote an imperial decree ordering him to rebel, he will suspect that you are testing him, and he will never dare to think otherwise."

"You are sure your father is such a person."

Zhu Di frowned tightly.

Zhu Zhangui spread his hands helplessly, "As long as you live in this world for a day and don't hurt my mother and our brothers, my father's love is even worse than what I just said."

After speaking, Zhu Di frowned.Zhu Zhangui was afraid of the old man, and really thought that Zhu Pangpang was cowardly from the bottom of his heart, and he would not be able to deter the ministers in the future, so he quickly added a sentence.

"My father's counsel is only aimed at you, other people, ha ha!" Zhu Zhangui sneered, "My father will let others know that he is not a prince."

There was silence in the inner hall.

The old man put his hands behind his head, looked at the carvings on the roof, and fell into deep thought.

Zhu Zhangui was lying on the soft cushion, twisting his body from time to time, taking a deep breath.

After a long time, the old man sighed, turned his head to look at Zhu Zhangui and said, "You know, little boy? I mentioned the matter of the Northern Expedition two days ago, but your father refused again, and he also strongly opposed it."

Zhu Zhangui really didn't know about this.

He has been busy with his own affairs these two days and did not come to the palace.

"Isn't the money enough? How can my father still object?"

Zhu Zhangui was a little puzzled.

In the past, Zhu Pangpang opposed the Northern Expedition because he had no money.

Now that I have money, why does my father still object.

However, this doubt did not exist in his mind for long, Zhu Zhangui figured out the reason, looked at the old man and asked tentatively: "Minli?"

Looking at Zhu Zhangui in surprise, Zhu Di nodded slightly.

"In the seventh year of Yongle, Qiu Fu led an army of [-] to march north. As a result, the entire army was wiped out. The court not only lost countless money and food, but also suffered a lot of damage to its troops. Although it can't be said that it was a serious injury, it can be regarded as a big trauma. .”

"Eight years ago, I went out to fight in person. Although I didn't have a big battle, I walked around the grassland and exhausted the soldiers and horses of the imperial court."

"In addition to natural disasters and man-made disasters in recent years, droughts and floods have continued in various places, what your father means is to use the money you paid to repair the entire few years first, restore people's livelihood, and wait until the soldiers are strong and the morale is boiling. Then go to the North Expedition. "

Zhu Zhangui knew that the old man hadn't finished speaking, and waited earnestly for the old man to tell the next story.

After saying the reason, Zhu Di took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"But grandpa is getting old, and there are not so many years to wait. I don't want to leave the old generation's war to you."

"I want to subdue all the enemies around, so that you can lead the Ming Dynasty safely and continue to stride forward."

"But your father didn't give me this chance. No matter what I said, he objected. This made me very angry and disappointed."

After understanding the old man's thoughts, Zhu Zhangui also fell silent.

The old man's thinking is very simple, that is, use one generation to complete the tasks of several generations.

Let the battles that should be fought, the blood that should be shed, and the people who should be damned come to an end in their generation.

Let the descendants of future generations no longer worry about bloodshed and death in war.

Let the descendants of future generations develop the people's livelihood safely and steadily, and bring the Ming Dynasty to eternal glory.

The old man's idea is good, but the question Zhu Pangpang raised is also very important.

From the chaos of the Yuan Dynasty to the present, the people of the Central Plains have spent time in war.

After so many years of war, the land of the Central Plains has long been scarred.

Now that the country has finally stabilized, Zhu Pangpang wants the tired people of the Central Plains to take a good rest and recover from countless years of war.

But Zhu Di didn't think so.

He had heard of Meng Yuan's cruelty from his parents, and even experienced it himself.

Zhu Di didn't know the importance of recuperation.

However, it has been proved countless times in the history of the Central Plains that if you beat a snake, you will not die, and you will suffer the consequences yourself.

Today, the grassland forces are at their weakest.

Zhu Di wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate him in one fell swoop.

Let this crisis that has threatened the Central Plains for countless years be completely eliminated.

Zhu Zhangui understood it completely.

Both Zhu Di and Zhu Pangpang had the right starting point and goal, both for the Ming Dynasty.

But the two couldn't convince each other.

After repeated exchanges with no results, Zhu Di was completely impatient!
Since I can't convince you, I'll let you go.

In order to calm down the prince's son and stop blocking his Northern Expedition, Zhu Di thought about the assassination with a big brain.

Putting the assassination on Zhu Pangpang's head, cutting off Zhu Pangpang's rights.

Pull up the second child who is in favor of the Northern Expedition, and let the Northern Expedition plan be fully implemented.

When all the dust settled and Zhu Pangpang regained power, it would be too late even if he wanted to object, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.

After trying to understand the reason for the assassination, Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man speechlessly.

It was exactly as my father said.

For the plan in his heart, this old guy really disowns his relatives.

Not to mention the grandson, the son is also going to die.

Noticing the way Zhu Zhangui looked at him, Zhu Di knew that the kid had seen his plan, and while he was happy, he was also worried that the kid had slipped his tongue.

"cough!"

Coughing dryly, Zhu Di ordered to the little snot standing outside the door:
"The second emperor's grandson, Zhu Zhangui, offended me, and I decided to punish him for two months of confinement. You personally take someone to watch him, and don't allow him to leave the mansion, and don't allow anyone to visit. Remember, it's anyone, including the prince's family. "

Zhu Zhangui, who was lying on the side, gave the old man a contemptuous look after hearing the imperial decree.

This old man can really do anything for his own plan.

Watching Zhu Zhangui who ordered the little snot to be carried away, Zhu Di's eyes were full of relief.

This second grandson is even better than he imagined.

Not only is she more filial than the big bastard who only has women, but she also has a very quick brain and has her own ideas.

Having been on the battlefield and seeing the customs of other countries, he is very skillful in using both grace and power.

The important thing is that this kid can get money!

This is simply the mold of the crown prince.
