Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 23

Before the old man had left, Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, came over.

"What did the old man tell you?"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Gaoxu immediately asked questions.

He has been paying attention to him for a long time. Although he didn't respond very quickly, he still knows the old man very well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in Ying Tianlai for such a long time.

"It's nothing, I just talked about what happened in the court earlier, let me live in peace for a while, and wait for the wind to pass."

Zhu Zhanhe did not tell the truth.

Zhu Gaoxu knew his old man Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhanhe also knew his old man Zhu Gaoxu.

For so many years, my father has been working tirelessly in the position of crown prince, but he is always overwhelmed by his elder brother, and the old man's attitude is very ambiguous, which makes him very anxious.

If he knew that the old man had wavered in his determination and wanted to train him as one of the candidates, then my old man would have to start jumping around again.

Besides, what does the old man think?Although Zhu Zhanhe saw some clues, but if he didn't say it, he couldn't count it. How could he take it seriously?
Maybe after returning home, the old man figured out the disadvantages of the two candidates, and then died down?
What's more, don't say that you haven't said it clearly, even if you say it clearly, it may not be countable. Zhu Zhanhe believes that his own father knows this best, because he has actually experienced it.

Isn't he the most familiar with the phrase "The son is so sick, you should encourage him"?For a period of time, I still talked about it every day!

"Really?" Seeing his son's normal expression, Zhu Gaoxu expressed doubts, but he didn't have any evidence.

He can ask the people in this courtyard, but the old man is not a fool, he let Jin Yiwei take over the courtyard when he said something, what can Zhu Zhanhe's guards know?
Jin Yiwei?Yes, he does have people in Jinyiwei, but still the same sentence, the old man is not a fool, he doesn't know which camp the people around him are on?

Do you really think Emperor Yongle is just kidding around?
"It can be fake." Zhu Zhanhe lied to his father without changing his face or heartbeat.

"I'm already nine years old. When did my grandfather care about me so much before? This time, I helped him protect the old man from those civil servants, so he came to see me. What else do you think?"

It is true that the old man loves the King of Han, but it is limited to this, especially after seeing the performance of King Han's second son, Zhu Zhanqi.

"That's true..." Zhu Gaoxu muttered to himself.

The old man's attitude is obvious to all, which is why he has been troubled all this time.

Many people in the court knew that the reason why the old man appointed Zhu Gaochi as the prince was not only because of civil servants, but also because of the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji.

Xie Jin's words "A good grandson can protect the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty for three generations" can be regarded as completely firming up the old man's mind to establish a long-term reserve, and Zhu Gaoxu has been troubled by this for a long time, even until now.

Until now, he still thinks that the reason why he failed to compete with his elder brother is because he suffered a disadvantage from his son, so he was very happy when he saw Zhu Zhanhe's emergence.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be nothing.

"Be more honest recently. I'll see after a while that someone will arrange for you to show your face in front of the old man more."

Zhu Gaoxu was obviously disappointed that he didn't get the answer he wanted, but he didn't give up because of it.

"You should also be more confident, don't act like a fool all day long!"

For his eldest son, Zhu Gaoxu actually thinks highly of him, especially after the misfortune of his second son Zhu Zhanqi.

For this son, Zhu Gaoxu not only hopes that his son will become a dragon, but also loves him.

"Okay, I see."

Zhu Zhanhe's tone was full of disappointment, his father was still obsessed with it, which made him feel like all his hard work was in vain.

And Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son who was still indifferent, and opened his mouth to say something, but finally gave up.

His son has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he has only recovered in the past two years. He really can't bear to be too harsh.

"Okay, you have a good rest, don't take these dogs out every day crazy, I'll ask someone to bring you some things later, if you lack something, ask someone to go back and tell."

After speaking, Zhu Gaoxu touched the top of his son's head, turned and left.

Recently, he found that Anyuan Hou Liusheng's attitude towards him had softened, and he knew it was because of his son, so he didn't say much.

In addition, Anyuan Hou Liusheng has always had the experience of leading the Shenji Battalion in addition to his achievements in leading the Japanese army to defeat the Japanese pirates.

Zhu Gaoxu has already learned from the side that the old man decided to go to the imperial conquest this time, and it is very likely that Liu Sheng will be in charge of the Shenji Battalion.

He had to take advantage of Liu Sheng's loose attitude and win him to his side as soon as possible. Although it could not make up for the lack of civil servants on his side, it was always good.

"Father, go slowly." Zhu Zhanhe sent out the door, watching his father wave his hand at him.

Sighing deeply, Zhu Zhanhe felt that he still had to do something.

Competing for reserves, this kind of thing is too dangerous, and the success rate is too low. Let alone Zhu Zhanhe doesn't have this kind of intention, even if he has, he will give up after weighing the pros and cons.

Knowing that the chances are not great, but still in Daming, the income of being a vassal king is much more stable and much safer.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanhe turned around and went back to the room, picked up a pen and started to write something.

On the other side, the Imperial Palace, Wenhua Palace.

As the office of the crown prince, the Wenhua Palace is the place where Zhu Gaochi spent the longest time, not one of them.

"Your Highness, we still need to fight for this matter, otherwise Hanwang..."

Huang Huai looked at Zhu Gaochi in front of him, and tried hard to persuade him to add another firewood before the fire was extinguished, so that the ashes that were infinitely close to extinguishing could be rekindled.

"Don't mention this matter again." Zhu Gaochi, who was always easy-going, became tough.

"Although what Zhan He did was a bit excessive, it was done from the perspective of the people of Daming anyway. It's just that the method was a little too extreme. He cannot and should not be punished like this."

"Besides, if this matter is not relentless, how will the people of the world view the imperial court and the royal family in the future?"

Seeing this, Huang Huai opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated for a while, and finally gave up.

As the chief official of the East Palace, he is very clear about the character of the crown prince he is assisting.

He really wanted to say that the opinions of the people are not important, at least in some matters, but he knew very well that as soon as he said this, he would be refuted by Zhu Gaochi.

Even, it is very likely that Zhu Gaochi will alienate him.

Just as there is no shortage of generals in the King of Han's camp, there is no shortage of civil servants on the Prince's side. Although Huang Huai is the top of the cabinet, that's all.

Sanyang is not inferior to him, and Xie Jin is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and his status is still above him.
