Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 279
"Who gave you the guts!"

Suncheon Palace, Cheongnyeong Palace.

Zhu Gaochi panted and looked at his eldest son with his head lowered in front of him, his face full of anger.

Zhu Gaochi has always been famous for his kindness, which is not only reflected in his handling of government affairs, but also in all aspects.

You know, throughout history, all dynasties combined, there are only two people who can get a temple name of Renzong after death.

But this time, he rarely got angry at his son and even took action.

The clearly visible palm prints on Zhu Zhanji's face are proof.

Judging from the rule of Renxuan in history, Zhu Gaochi should be regarded as a good teacher. After all, he was able to leave a name in history, and it was also the "rule". Although he was named the same as his father, it also shows that Zhu Zhanji It is somewhat powerful.

This can also explain the prince's lineage from the side. At least the education of the emperor's grandson should be excellent.

But this time, it was different.

Although there is never a shortage of rebuttals, it is the first time for Zhu Zhanji to be stubborn.

"Why not!?" Zhu Zhanji frowned and looked at his father unconvinced.

"Because of grandpa and your indulgence, can't you see what Zhanhe has become now?"

"Annam, Siam, the Sultan of Delhi, and now the Timurid Empire, the area that Zhanhe can control is no smaller than the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Excluding the grasslands, Nurgandusi and other places that the imperial court cannot fully control, Zhanhe controls even more places than the imperial court!"

"That's all, I haven't said that I'm all for Uzzandusi on the other side of Zhanhe!"

"Now this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Zhan He and his second uncle can only protect more than [-] people! As long as we take action, we will definitely succeed!"

"Shut up!" Zhu Gaochi slapped him hard again.

"Okay!" The princess, who had been standing in the corner for a long time, finally came out and stopped her husband's movements.

"Educate a child by educating the child. Don't just hit him. His attention is now attracted by Zhan He's achievements. He won't listen to what you say."

"And you!" Although she stopped her husband, it didn't mean that the princess was a doting mother.

On the contrary, it was in order to educate her son more effectively that she chose to stop her husband.

"Your father is right about this matter. You should listen carefully to what your father tells you!"

After speaking, the princess sighed softly, turned and left.

As a mother, she is the one who knows her son best.

Over the years, she watched Zhu Zhanhe make great achievements, saw Zhu Zhanhe lay down piece after piece of land for Daming, and also watched Zhu Zhanhe's strength gradually surpass the imperial court.

However, she didn't say anything to her husband, because she was not an ordinary woman, she was a princess.

The five queens in history started from the crown prince of King Yan and went through the crown prince, queen, empress dowager and empress dowager.

There are some things that her son cannot see clearly. Although she is a female, she is not necessarily worse than men.

"Sit down..." Zhu Gaochi sighed softly, regretting it.

Zhu Gaochi has never advocated beating and scolding education. He prefers to use facts and examples to let his son understand what he wants to say.

Instead of blindly educating through beating and scolding, let your son remember those things through pain and rote memorization.

"Dad, I know that you are worried that Zhan He's strength will exceed that of the imperial court. The support of Zhan He by the military generals in the DPRK also makes you fear that your grandfather will..."

"I'm afraid that those generals will turn to Zhan He in the future and threaten the court, but in fact, you don't need to worry about this."

"Why!?" Because of the intervention of the princess, not only Zhu Gaochi calmed down, but Zhu Zhanji also calmed down.

"Are you trying to say that Uncle Er didn't mean that? Or that Zhan He didn't mean that?"

"If you want to say that the second uncle didn't have that intention, then I believe that the second uncle has indeed not made any big moves in these years. He even changed his past temper and quietly managed the places that Zhanhe conquered."

"But what about Zhan He? How can you guarantee that he doesn't mean that!?"

"Because it doesn't matter whether Zhan He means that or not, it's the same. He won't be your grandfather's successor as you think."

Zhu Gaochi sighed softly. Although he knew that this was not a problem that ordinary people could see clearly, he still felt a little disappointed that his son could not see clearly.

"Zhan He has repeatedly made outstanding achievements since the eighth year of Yongle. It can be said that there are few people who can compare with him in all the dynasties of the Central Plains. But it is precisely because of this that Zhan He has no such possibility."

"If you don't trust Zhan He, then let's just assume that Zhan He is going for that goal."

"Zhan He has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and secured a large amount of territory for the Ming Dynasty. What did he rely on? It was iron-blooded methods! It was indiscriminate massacre!"

"Such a person is indeed deeply respected by military commanders, but military commanders are only needed when expanding territories. Ruling a country, or even the world, relies on civil servants."

"The Ming Dynasty now establishes Gongyang School as an official school. It is true that the ideas of great unification and great revenge are prevalent, but great unification and great revenge do not mean that unscrupulous conquests, unscrupulous killings, and unscrupulous consumption of the national power of the Ming Dynasty can be carried out."

"Remember Yu Qian?"

"Yu Qian?" Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, but he quickly thought of it.

"Are you talking about the one who was a new scholar the year before last and got drunk at the banquet given by grandpa? He made a lot of nonsense at the banquet and asked grandpa to restrain his warlike heart, reform the people, and be kind to the world?"

"Yes, that's it." Zhu Gaochi nodded.

"Yu Qian, although his rhetoric is radical, can be regarded as a leader among the new scholars, and he is also a representative."

"What has your grandfather done in the past two years? It is nothing more than guarding against Oara and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and conquering the Jianzhou rebellion. Just these alone make Yu Qian say this, what about Zhan He?"

"Yes! I admit it! Many scholars in the Ming Dynasty under the popularity of Gongyang Studies admired Zhan He's idea more, but look at what Zhan He did?"

"Zhan He...how did he do it..." Zhu Zhanji suddenly froze.

Yes, what has Zhu Zhanhe been doing in the past two years?

The impression that Zhu Zhanhe left on people all along was that he was decisive in killing, accomplished many extraordinary feats, and expanded his territory. Although people cannot ignore his outstanding achievements in civil and political affairs due to his wonderful methods such as passing the test, making immediate replenishment, and allocating the land into the land. Talent and achievements in this field, but...

After becoming a vassal, after conquering Indochina and the Delhi Sultanate, what achievements did Zhu Zhanhe make in civil affairs?

Nowadays, all aspects of matters such as Indochina and Delhi Sudan are either handled by Zhu Gaoxu or Zhu Zhanqi, but what about Zhu Zhanhe?
He seems to be still the same Zhu Zhanhe who was decisive in killing, repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, and expanded territories. His overall image is closer to that of a military general than a civil servant, let alone a prince.

In contrast, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanqi are more like qualified candidates for the crown prince, but Zhu Zhanhe's brilliance is too eye-catching, causing people to subconsciously focus on him and ignore it. Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanqi.

"You mean..." Zhu Zhanji suddenly raised his head and realized what his father wanted to say to him.

"That's right." Zhu Gaochi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhan He is a strong general who can expand territory and a capable minister in governing the world. If it weren't for his actions in the grasslands, the Japanese country and other places, it would be very simple for him to threaten your position. At least it would be better than Compared to your second uncle and your father, you are more dangerous."

"However, Zhan He is far more mature and far-sighted than you."

"The time in the grassland was when he had the most opportunities, and it was also the time when it was easiest for your grandfather to be shaken. But he made a choice at that time, choosing to be a sharp saber in your grandfather's hands instead of a human being. Obedient grandson.”

"When he was in Hangzhou and Yangzhou, he could have reconciled with each other and gained the gratitude and even the leverage of people in the government such as Hu Guang, Huang Huai and others at that time, but he chose to kill everyone decisively."

"This is his letter of submission to your grandpa. He is telling your grandpa that he has no intention of that position."

"This is what I asked for from your grandfather." With that said, Zhu Gaochi took a box from the desk at the back.

Zhu Zhanji opened it and what appeared was a volume of imperial edict.

"Dad, this..." Looking at the imperial edict in the box, Zhu Zhanji's eyes were full of doubts.

"This is a will, which I asked for from your grandfather, and it will be the last imperial edict issued by your grandfather."

"After your grandfather... in the future, this imperial edict will be read out and take effect at the same time, and there is only one sentence in it."

"In the future, if the Ming Dynasty is in danger, King Wu can lead troops to help the king; or if there are no official ministers in the court, King Wu can raise troops to attack the country to clear the emperor's side!"

Zhu Zhanji's eyes slowly widened and his pupils gradually contracted.

He couldn't believe that his grandfather would make such an imperial edict, and he was even less willing to believe that his father had personally requested it from his grandfather.

-

Taku.

The ship sailed out of the canal and entered the sea. Zhu Zhanhe stood at the stern of the ship, with a bit of nostalgia, a bit of sigh, and a bit of confusion, and finally took a look in the direction of Shuntian Mansion.

"Stop looking." Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the cabin, holding a letter in his hand.

"What did you get?" Zhu Zhanhe sighed softly, and then found the envelope in his father's hand.

"This was given to me by a man when I was in Dagu. He said it was arranged for me by Jingzhong."

"Jingzhong? Is it grandpa? Or uncle?" Zhu Zhanhe raised his eyebrows, with a hint of...

fling in teeth.

"I'm not sure either." Zhu Gaoxu shook his head slightly and opened the letter in front of his son.

He also just got it, and he really didn't know what was in his heart.

However, after a while, Zhu Gaoxu's expression became a bit dull, and with a bit of sigh and sadness, he handed the letter to his son.

Zhu Zhanhe received the letter with some doubts, but his doubts changed after seeing the contents of the letter.

It turned into exclamation and admiration.

At that time, Emperor Taizu Gao set down the legacy of "Keeping the emperor in check", which gave the old man an excuse to launch an army to appease the emperor.

Now, the old man was also preparing to make such a legacy, but it was not the case. At least he did not just want to give Zhu Zhanhe an excuse to take over the Central Plains.

The old man... no, it should be said that his uncle really took the trouble to teach his son.

As soon as I sent it with my right hand, the letter flew away with the wind, but it didn't fly for long before slowly falling into the sea.

At the stern of the boat, Zhu Zhanhe put his hands on the side of the boat, looked at the distant shore, and thought of what he and the old man had said before.

If the Ming Dynasty had not been in danger, he would not have entered the Central Plains.

My uncle knew that if he were to come, no one would be able to stop him, so he simply asked the old man for such an imperial edict, which was also a legacy.

Knowing that there was no way to stop him, not only did he lose nothing by doing so, but it actually put a shackles on Zhu Zhanhe. Because of the existence of this edict, Zhu Zhanhe really couldn't enter Beijing at will like this time.

Greatly reduced, even eliminated the possibility of him entering the Central Plains.

The most important thing is that it also gave Zhu Zhanji a spurring power, urging him to work hard forward at all times, letting him know that if he doesn't work hard, the powerful enemy behind him will surpass him, or even...

replace him.
