If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 117: Confessing King Zheng
However, Zhu Zhanjun did not do what they thought. He just said to Zhu Di: "Grandpa, my grandson has lost his temper."

"It's okay, I don't know what that was just now..." Zhu Di wanted to ask, but didn't know where to start, so he could only throw the question to Zhu Zhanyu in an ambiguous manner.

Facing Zhu Di's inquiry, Zhu Zhanquan had already thought of a countermeasure, but replied very plainly: "That's just the art of change. I made a bet with Lu Chunyang on Penglai Immortal Island, and I won a round with him, so he taught me With this move, I can transform into a real dragon for a moment or three, which is my most powerful skill."

Hearing what Zhu Zhanjun said, Zhu Di showed a relieved expression on his face, but only Zhu Di himself knew whether he was really relieved or fake.

After all, even though Zhu Zhanjun said this, the pair of dragon horns on his head did not disappear.

But this is obviously not the point. After such a big thing happened, how to handle the follow-up is the key, instead of worrying about whether Zhu Zhancheng is a real dragon here.

Although if he is really a real dragon, it will make things difficult to deal with, but in fact the impact is not very big.

In other words, Zhu Zhanchun's current attitude of saying that he is not a real dragon has made things more complicated.

After all, judging from the attitude Zhu Zhanjun is showing now, if he says that he is not a real dragon, then someone must believe him.

Of course, if he is a real dragon, it would be easy for others to just keep a respectful distance. Some people may want to stick to him to seek immortality or wealth, but that is an easy decision.

But if Zhu Zhanjun just says that he is not a real dragon, but no one knows whether he is a real dragon, then others have to guess what he is thinking.

Even if he is really not a real dragon, this ability to suddenly become a real dragon is still a great deterrent.

Especially for the common people, they don't care whether you are a transformed real dragon or a real real dragon. When the time comes, people will only spread the news that a real dragon has come to the world!
So after Zhu Zhanjun said that he was not a real dragon and would not ascend to heaven, things became very complicated.

Not to mention anything else, the way Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Zhanchun at this moment had become strange, because Zhu Zhanji clearly understood that if Zhu Zhanchun was really a real dragon and wanted to stay in the world, Then he would not have any capital to compete with a real dragon for the position of prince.

Even if Zhu Zhanquan had no desire for the emperor's throne, there would be countless people who wanted to force him to that position.

In other words, they don't want an immortal emperor to promote Zhu Zhanji to the throne, but he really has a way to secure the emperor's position with a real dragon by his side, or not become A dispensable puppet?

For the young Zhu Zhanji, these questions are undoubtedly a bucket of cold water poured on the flame of ambition that has just been ignited in the young man's heart.

He was wondering what the meaning of all his efforts was when facing a true dragon.

However, Zhu Zhanjun didn't care about this. He just said to Zhu Di: "Grandpa, my grandson is also a member of the royal family of our Ming Dynasty, and according to the practice passed down from the Hongwu Dynasty of our Ming Dynasty, my grandson should also be granted the title of king and then go to the fiefdom." Just like the feudal lord.

Therefore, the grandson begged his grandfather to allow his grandson to go to Northern Xinjiang and guard the border with all his uncles. "Zhu Zhanjun's words suddenly put Zhu Di out of control, and also made the civil and military officials around Zhu Di feel confused and confused.

After all, Zhu Zhanchun had just revealed his true dragon body. Logically speaking, Zhu Zhanchun should use his talents to suppress Zhu Zhanji as much as possible at this time, so as to compete for the position of the emperor's grandson.

As a result, Zhu Zhanjun said that he was not a real dragon, and at the same time said that he wanted to be granted the title of vassal king to guard the border. This attitude of clearly not wanting to be the emperor really made Zhu Di, the vassal kings, and civil and military officials a little confused.

But this is not a problem. Zhu Di quickly calmed down and made a decision in his heart: "Since Zhanjun you have such an idea, then go do what you want to do! Tell grandpa what you are interested in. This piece of land, this vast land of thousands of miles in the Ming Dynasty, my grandpa can grant it to you!"

Zhu Di's words seemed to agree to Zhu Zhanchun's request, but in fact he was still testing whether he was retreating in order to advance.

Although Zhu Zhanchun's various performances are enough to show that he has truly become an immortal, or that even if he has not become an immortal, he is almost the same. In this case, even Zhu Di can't help but worry about Zhu Zhanchun. What he wants is the throne.

However, Zhu Di did not quite believe this due to Zhu Zhanjun's previous behaviors. Due to the contradiction between the two psychology, Zhu Di naturally wanted to take this opportunity to test Zhu Zhanjun.

As for the shock and surprise brought to Zhu Di by the appearance of the real dragon just now, for an emperor who conquered the country and seized the throne by himself, the shock was real, but it was not enough to make him panic. The degree of confusion and embarrassment.

If this little thing can scare Zhu Di like a child who has never seen the world, then he is not the Zhu Di who can conquer a country with a vassal.

"Returning to grandpa, my grandson wants the Tianjin Guard and takes the Qingyu Guard north. Based on this, we can reject the barbarians in the north, serve our neighbors, and open up the sea for our Ming Dynasty!" After hearing Zhu Di say that he can choose his own fiefdom, Zhu Zhanqi He didn't hesitate to pick the best place for him.

In the second year of Yongle, Zhu Di changed the name of Haijin in the Yuan Dynasty to Tianjin, which means the ferry where the emperor passed, in order to commemorate the "Battle of Jingnan" when he crossed the Grand Canal from here to the south.

Tianjin Guard was established again, and later Tianjin Zuowei and Tianjin Right Guard were added. It has always been the throat of north-south water transportation and sea transportation, and it is also a very important military location.

As the former King of Yan, Zhu Di was naturally very familiar with this place. When he heard that Zhu Zhanquan wanted to place his fiefdom here, Zhu Di thought about it for a while and then said: "Tianjin is a good place. Zhanjun, you know how to choose a fiefdom! But since grandpa promised you, this place will be given to you."

As Zhu Di said this, he immediately summoned officials from the Ministry of Rites and issued an imperial edict on the spot to canonize Zhu Zhanquan: "We confer the title of Prince Zhu Zhanquan, the legitimate second son of Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, to the title of Prince Zheng, with the fiefdom of Tianjin, and the assignment of Tianjin Guards and Qingyu Guards to protect the vassal king." , the left guard of Tianjin and the right guard of Tianjin are both under the control of King Zheng, and the civil affairs, salt transportation, taxation, and military affairs of Tianjin are all under the control of King Zheng."

Being able to choose a fiefdom by oneself is not an outrageous thing for the Ming Dynasty vassal king. It is not a big deal to hand over the civil affairs, taxation and military affairs of the fiefdom to Zhu Zhancheng, but the salt transportation is also handed over to Zhu Zhanchun. Hands, this inevitably made the eyes of all the vassal kings around Zhu Di turn red.

Because salt transportation is strictly two things, namely salt production and water transportation, this is a very important source of financial resources for the vassal king, especially when Zhu Di has just promulgated the new policy of the vassal.

　Tianjin is really a good place. To the north is the city of Beijing. After passing the Great Wall, you can attack the Mongols, and you can also build ships and go to sea to fight against Korea and Japan. The Grand Canal passes here, and the shipping of the Yuan Dynasty also passed here. It is really a good life. After the business can conquer Japan, it can use Japan as a springboard to explore the American continent.
