Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 21

No one thought that Zhu Zhanhe, the son of the King of Han, lived outside the city for a month, during which time no one came to visit him, and Zhu Zhanhe never left.

For a whole month, no one came in or out except those who came here to deliver daily necessities.

In this way, the original rumors not only spread more and more widely, but also became more outrageous.

Now those rumors not only said that Zhu Zhanhe was deprived of his status as the heir of the Han Dynasty and the royal family, but had reached the point where he was imprisoned.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't care, and besides him, the others didn't really care either.

Few people who can roll around in the officialdom are fools. Maybe everyone is confused sometimes, but these are only occasionally, and they will definitely not last for a month.

Now who can't see that Zhu Di just wants to protect Zhu Zhanhe?Imprisoned for a month without paying attention, this is not indifference, but trying to downplay those bad influences as much as possible.

Although Zhu Zhanhe's actions have earned him a very high popularity, sometimes morality is morality, and rules are rules. Sometimes the two are the same, but sometimes they are different.

Zhu Zhanhe didn't feel it, he liked this kind of life of lying flat and salted fish very much.

Who doesn't like this kind of life without bothering about work?

What?you don't like it?Then go and enjoy the blessings of [-]!And it's still the kind of zero and seven that might be overdone at any time.

"Huh? Zhu Ling? What's the matter?"

Lying on the recliner, feeling the warm sunshine of the autumn day, Zhu Zhanhe was too lazy to open his eyes. Hearing the footsteps by his ear, he asked casually.

The main reason is that he has been too idle recently, to the point where he is almost moldy.

"I told you to think about your mistakes behind closed doors at home, how about you, living a good life here?"

After hearing a word, Zhu Zhanhe rolled down from the reclining chair in a hurry.

"Grandson has met the emperor's grandfather, and the emperor's grandfather is blessed and safe."

"Get up." Zhu Di glanced at the grandson, then turned around and directly occupied the reclining chair.

"Let you reflect, what did you reflect on?"

"No reflection." Zhu Zhanhe replied obediently with his head down.

In this matter, he didn't intend to play tricks and gossip about him, because he knew that every disturbance in this village could not escape the eyes of the old man.

It's meaningless to bullshit, it's better to admit it.

"Hmph, you are sincere." Zhu Di snorted coldly, but Zhu Zhanhe could tell that the old man was not very angry.

"Then today I will help you reflect on yourself."

"Didn't you hesitate when you faced those Japanese prisoners of war? I don't believe you don't know what you will face after you return to Beijing, so don't be sloppy."

"Why do you hesitate?" Not only did Zhu Zhanhe not answer, but he asked the old man instead.

"Why hesitate?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by his grandson's reaction.

"I told you not to be sloppy!"

"Killing captives, and killing them, you also heard Chen Er's words in the court. If you lose your status as the son of the King of Han and the royal family because of this, don't you regret it?"

"I don't regret it." Zhu Zhanhe smiled calmly, and turned his gaze to the gate.

"During this period of time, the reactions of the people of Yingtian City have told me that there is no need to regret it."

"Then what if they don't respond?" Zhu Di was very surprised by Zhu Zhanhe's answer.

"You are only nine years old. Isn't it too risky to gamble with your future glory and wealth?"

"Not at all." The smile on Zhu Zhanhe's face did not diminish.

"You also said that I am only nine years old. What was the situation of Emperor Taizu Gao? Although my grandson does not dare to compare himself to Emperor Taizu Gao, it is not difficult to live a lifetime."

"Also, what Sun'er did was just to show his intentions, to express Sun'er's wishes as a member of the Ming royal family, not to use this to ask the people for something."

"Oh? Really?" Zhu Zhanhe said it too righteously, and Zhu Di couldn't believe it because of his high morals.

"What if they don't respond to your wishes like they do now? Will you still choose to continue?"

"Not really." Zhu Zhanhe replied calmly, as if he didn't feel anything wrong with this usually contemptible answer.

"I've expressed my intentions. If I don't get a response, there's a high probability that I won't be able to do anything in the future. Just have a clear conscience."

"I've already bet on them once. If I lose completely, there won't be a second time, because the valley without an echo is not worth abandoning everything and taking a deep leap."

Zhu Di straightened up and took a deep look at his grandson, but said nothing.

In the past, he always thought that Zhu Zhanji, the eldest grandson, was the most outstanding, which is why he deliberately took Zhu Zhanji with him during the northern tour, because he planned to train this grandson well.

But now, he found an even better heir.

Zhu Zhanhe's words didn't make much sense at first glance, at most they made people feel that these words were very deep, coming from a nine-year-old child proved that this child was far more mature than his peers.

But it sounds different to Zhu Di, the emperor, because from Zhu Di's perspective, these words are full of the emperor's way.

It is the most common and necessary thing for an emperor to take the lead in expressing his heart to the people, because everyone knows that the people are the foundation.

Without the support of the people, no matter how great a dynasty is, it is just a castle in the air, and it will collapse at the slightest disturbance.

Secondly, Zhu Zhanhe's sentence "A valley without an echo is not worth abandoning everything and taking a leap" also touched Zhu Di very much.

Many times, Zhu Di also has this mentality when facing officials.

For officials, the Ming Dynasty was probably the most unsuitable era for them, because the Ming Dynasty, especially the early Ming Dynasty, was quite strict with officials.

Corrupting ink for 60 taels of silver requires peeling the real grass, and even sitting, such a harsh punishment can even be said to be cruel. Perhaps in the entire feudal era, no dynasty dared to say that they were more ruthless than Ming Dynasty.

But in fact, Zhu Di is still very tolerant to officials, he will only take action when those officials are greedy...

At least he thought so.

Two sentences, one to the people and one to the officials, the two sentences that Zhu Zhanhe casually said were full of wisdom in Zhu Di's opinion.

This also caused Zhu Di, who was already indecisive towards the King of Han, to hesitate even more.

In the past, he just thought that the King of Han was very similar to him, and it was just his personal emotion that he wanted the King of Han to inherit the Datong, but his reason told him that Zhu Gaochi, a son with excellent martial arts, was more suitable to inherit the Datong.

but now……
