Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 417 The Future in Eyes

Life is a mass of desires, if you don't get it, you will suffer, and if you satisfy it, you will be bored.

This sentence is actually very suitable for the current scene.

Think about the early years of Yongle, when the people at that time were harassed by Chen Jikuo of Dayue Kingdom in the south, Japanese pirates who came across the sea in the east, blocked by the increasingly self-inflated Kansai Seven Guards in the west, and Oala and Tatars in the north. harassment.

At that time, Daming was actually besieged on all sides.

Although, even without the appearance of Zhu Zhanhe, Emperor Taizong would still break the deadlock with absolute toughness and achieve the prosperous age of Yongle recorded in the history books, but it has to be said that Zhu Zhanhe took a completely different path to come out.

Although he was still young at that time, Zhu Zhandong still remembered that he was in Yingtian Mansion when he did not join the army in the Northern Expedition, and responded to Tianfu with the news of the Northern Expedition, especially when his elder brother was killing the enemy bandits on the grassland and building a temple in Beijing , How the people of Yingtianfu cheered.

In Daming at that time, the common people were suppressed for too long.

The idea of ​​governing the country with benevolence bound the Central Plains and the Han people. Zhu Zhanhe was the first, and it can be said to be the only one since the Song Dynasty who broke the framework and solved this problem in an unconventional way.

Later, Zhu Zhanhe set fire to Annan, massacred the city and wiped out the Japanese, which made the Han people who had been imprisoned by Confucianism for more than a hundred years proud.

However, after being satisfied and living a comfortable life, people became bored, so bored that they started talking about government affairs and Zhu Zhanhe who was still going around fighting everywhere.

This is the origin of Zhu Zhanhe's notoriety, and it is also the reason why he has gradually lost popular support these years.

Because people like to enjoy the sweet fruits after victory, but they are not willing to pay for victory.

However, the so-called turning point.

In this world, nothing is static. Even if you have made all the preparations and deduced all the possibilities that may happen, there will always be something you can't calculate.

The great road is fifty, the sky is four and nine, and people are one of them.

Maybe that's what it means.

It's night, Yingtian City Hanwang Mansion.

In this spring, although there is some warmth, but it is still cold at night, Zhu Gaoxu is sitting under the gazebo in the yard, and his first wife is sitting opposite him.

"So, the opportunity is now?" Concubine Wu was a little stunned, she opened her mouth slightly, as if she couldn't believe it.

"Yes." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

"If there are no accidents, maybe there will be better opportunities in the future, but as far as the current situation is concerned, this is already the best opportunity that Zhan He has encountered."

"Then..." Princess Wu's expression became serious.

"Look back... No, tomorrow, tomorrow I will have a good talk with Shanshu."

"There's no need to be so anxious." Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly, he understood his wife's urgency.

Man, after all, is still a creature who is not satisfied, no matter who he is, he is the same.

More than ten years ago, when she was in Yunnan Mansion, Concubine Wu didn't have so many thoughts at all. All she wanted was to let her son live a happy life with peace of mind. The throne is not as important to her as her son.

But as the situation changes, Princess Wu, as a mother, also hopes that her son will get better and better.

After all, although it is not certain, but on the surface, only when you reach the peak, you will not be bullied.

If the situation is unavoidable, then naturally it is best to hope that her son will live a happy life, but if it is possible, Princess Wu still hopes that her son will never be bullied by others, and she does not need to be humble.

Now, Zhu Zhanji has given such a chance.

Regardless of the outcome of this battle, since Zhu Zhanji promised the Oirat envoy to personally lead troops to fight with Mahamu, and use the result of this charge to determine the outcome of the Northern Expedition, the cause and effect have already been buried.

Zhu Zhanhe fought abroad for [-] years, gained countless military exploits, and conquered countless countries. Even if he couldn't satisfy the people of Ming Dynasty, what Zhu Zhanji did would only make the people of Ming Dynasty who were already dissatisfied even more dissatisfied.

It took Zhu Zhanhe 18 years to establish in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty an image of a tough Ming Dynasty that was undefeated in foreign wars, but now, Zhu Zhanji has to use such a hasty method to decide a battle involving 10,000+ soldiers, thousands of soldiers. The outcome of the war of the people of Wan Daming.

It is conceivable that even if they win in the end, there will still be no shortage of gossip.

And if he is defeated, pots of dirty water will be poured on Zhu Zhanji unceremoniously. At that time, although the people of Ming Dynasty who are extremely angry will not dare to take any action, they may buckle Zhu Zhanji A hat of shame.

After all, from the founding of Emperor Taizu Gao to the present, no emperor has made such a big mistake except for Jianwen who has failed in foreign wars.

If he loses, Zhu Zhanji is really the first in the history of Ming Dynasty.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, but be afraid of comparing the goods.

Don't look at Zhu Zhanhe's reputation in the hearts of the people of Ming Dynasty is not high these years, but that's because there is no comparison.

Think about it, what has Zhu Zhanhe been doing all these years?What is the court doing again?
In fact, from the eighth year of Yongle when he accompanied Emperor Taizong to conquer the grasslands, Zhu Zhanhe's footsteps have never stopped, especially after he became a feudal vassal, he was either fighting or on the way to war.

And what about the court?

Since King Wu became a vassal, the imperial court has basically never fought a war. Except for sending soldiers to assist Zhu Zhanhe when he conquered the Japanese kingdom, the imperial court can only say that there was only one battle, which was Pingjianzhou The battle of the Jurchen rebellion.

And that battle, although it was just a counter-rebellion, even though the enemy was only the Jianzhou Guard in a corner of Daming, it lasted for five years!

At that time, it was actually good. Zhu Zhanhe used his uninterrupted conquests to gradually stabilize Ming Dynasty. At that time, the common people still liked Zhu Zhanhe, but it was different later.

If at this time, when Zhu Zhanhe can be said to be pointed out by thousands of people, there will be a comparison with a completely opposite position, and the comparison person is still the current emperor.

That's different.

At that time, the dissatisfaction with the emperor Zhu Zhanji, coupled with the fact that King Wu's lineage withdrew from Shuntian Mansion when the emperor went out to fight, and even Zhu Zhanhe's battles outside these years will be said by the people to be the emperor crowd out.

When that time comes, don't think about reasoning, because it's not the time to be reasoning, even if you have great reasoning, it won't make sense.

This is the only way Zhu Zhandong said to break the situation, and why he said that Zhu Zhanji is paving the way for Zhu Zhanhe.

However, not to mention that a break is in sight, even if the situation has been broken, it does not mean that it is a success.

Any situation needs to be maintained, which is why Zhu Gaoxu talked about it with his wife today.

"Anyway, what needs to be explained still needs to be explained. If Zhanhe really has a chance, then Shanshu is very likely to be the one in the future."

Although her husband said he was not in a hurry, Concubine Wu did not relax because of this.

"At that time, any slight flaw will be infinitely magnified and become a talking point for people."

"What's more, with Zhanhe's situation and Shanshu's current situation, it may not be easy to change in the future."

Zhu Gaoxu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and nodded immediately.

In fact, before his wife said these words, Zhu Gaoxu was not in a hurry, but after his wife said these words, Zhu Gaoxu was a little anxious instead.

There is no other reason, the entire lineage of the King of Wu is looking forward to it day and night, and looking forward to the current one, it can be said that it has seen the sun.

Hu Shanshu is pregnant.

In fact, it's not that Zhu Gaoxu didn't think carefully, he just simply forgot.

Before that, even though the whole lineage of King Wu was in good shape, and even controlled the Shuntian Mansion and the court, many people, especially the lineage of King Wu, felt that the situation was not very good.

There is only one reason: King Wu has no descendants so far.

This "no offspring" is not simply talking about Zhu Zhanhe himself, but that all of Zhu Gaoxu's sons have no heirs until now.

Not to mention Zhu Zhanhe, he has only a few days at home, so that he has already entered the threshold of his thirties this year but still has no heir.

Except for Zhu Zhanhe, Zhu Zhantan was not in good health. To put it bluntly, the work on the bed was physical labor, and Zhu Zhantan was a sick man who would wheeze and wheeze even after running for a few steps.

It is so difficult to live, and to Zhu Zhantan, having a child is tantamount to killing him, and it may not be successful.

Below Zhu Zhantan is Zhu Zhanyi. Although he is the only hope, he is actually the least hopeful one.

Because Zhu Zhantan has not even managed to make a family yet.

The only hopeful person in the entire lineage of King Wu is Zhu Zhanqi. The matter between him and Mu Sheng's daughter Mu Qin is already a certainty, and there is only one ceremony left.

However, the relationship between him and Mu Qin was confirmed just in time for Emperor Taizong's death and funeral. Less than a year later, Emperor Hongxi also passed away, and then the Mu family moved to the Suez area.

Zhu Zhanqi is the person entrusted by Zhu Zhanhe with important tasks. Now not only Xiangzhou Prefecture, but also Nanzhou Prefecture is managed by him.

It is obviously impossible to leave Xiangzhou Mansion in order to start a family.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanqi's affairs were also delayed. In addition, Zhu Zhanqi was actually the only "free love" in Wu Wang's lineage, which caused Zhu Zhanqi to attach great importance to Mu Qin.

The importance attached to Mu Qin, coupled with the respect for his eldest brother, Zhu Zhanqi has no heirs so far.

Under such circumstances, the news of Hu Shanshu's pregnancy is not only good news for the entire King Wu lineage, but also represents the future of the King Wu lineage.

Although it is still uncertain whether Hu Shanshu's womb is male or female, this is already the only hope of the Wu Wang lineage, and the entire Wu Wang lineage attaches great importance to it.

It is important to note that except for a few people, no one knows the news of Hu Shanshu's pregnancy.

The reason is simple, the tree attracts the wind.

If people knew that Zhu Zhanhe was about to have an heir, then Hu Shanshu would not only have to face these insignificant things now.

At that time, all she will have to face is a matter of life, and it is still a matter of two lives.
