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

Chapter 51 Talents in Prison
"Yongle Dadian" has more than 3 million words, so it is not easy to copy it.

Even if Zhu Zhanyu took the gold medal given by Zhu Di and asked officials from Wenyuan Pavilion to help copy it, it would not be possible to complete it in a year and a half.

So after asking the officials of Wenyuan Pavilion to start copying, Zhu Zhanjun left the palace and returned to the East Palace.

Back in the East Palace, Zhu Zhanqi was stopped by Zhu Gaochi just as he wanted to go back to his small courtyard.

"Son, the palace just sent someone to announce the decree. Your grandfather asked you to train soldiers. He sent military talismans and other things. What's going on? How can I ask you to train soldiers? Didn't you go to help Zhanji with the case today? Have you gone?" Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Zhanyu and asked in confusion.

With Zhu Gaochi's political sense, he could certainly guess that Zhu Di asked Zhu Zhanquan to train troops because of the Qianyuan Zhuangmui ointment.

After all, Zhu Di had no reason not to think of things that Zhu Zhanji could think of, but Zhu Gaochi was very confused as to why Zhu Zhanji agreed to this.

"Grandpa sent someone to summon me to the palace. How can I refuse if he speaks in person?" Zhu Zhanju also had a wry smile on his face, and then took out the gold medal given by Zhu Di: "Look, this gold medal has been given to me. What else can I do? I can’t refuse this old man and let him hit me, right?”

Zhu Gaochi looked at the gold medal in his son's hand and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said in surprise: "This gold medal symbolizes your grandfather. Holding it is equivalent to the emperor's personal visit. Your grandfather is actually willing to give this to you, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter." ah!"

As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but have a sad expression on his face, worried about what Zhu Zhanchen would do if he couldn't do it well.

Troop training is not an easy thing to do. If you don't understand military strategy and don't understand overall planning, and you start training rashly, it will only be a trivial matter if the soldiers are not trained well. The real big trouble will be if you make the soldiers mutiny.

In Zhu Gaochi's view, although Zhu Zhanchun is talented and has shown extraordinary intelligence since he was a child. He has been to Penglai Immortal Island for eight years and has no problem with his knowledge and ability. However, there is no doubt that Zhu Zhanchun is not capable of such things as military training. He was very worried that his son would not be able to do this well.

However, Zhu Zhanjun saw Zhu Gaochi's worries and comforted him: "Dad, don't worry. Grandpa said he would send me a deputy general. In addition, I can call on the generals at any time and ask them for advice on the art of war." , Ma Zi is still confident of training this guard well.

And when I was in Penglai, it was not like I had never seen the Xian family's method of training Taoist soldiers. My grandfather wanted such a troop this time. This is my strength! "

"Having said that, Zhanju, you have never done any of these things. What if you mess up?" Zhu Gaochi was still not at ease. After thinking about it, he said: "I'll go back and ask Jin Shangshu of the Ministry of War to say hello to you. Let him send you some knowledgeable people!

Jin Shangshu is the chief minister of the East Palace. When the time comes, you can ask others for advice. For dad's sake, he will try his best to help you. We only want no faults in this matter but no merit. In short, just don't make any mistakes! "

Jin Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was an old minister of the Prince of Yan's Palace. In his early years, he had been given the advice of the Prince of Yan's Palace and had a long history. Later, during the Jingnan period, he also repeatedly offered advice and praised military affairs. He was Zhu Di's effective adviser.

When discussing the crown prince in the first year of Yongle, most of the Jingnan heroes recommended Zhu Gaoxu as the crown prince. Only Jin Zhong suggested making Zhu Gaochi the crown prince on the grounds that the heir apparent's proposal could not be abolished.

Later, Jin Zhong was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War and Zhan Shifu of Zhanshifu, and also assisted Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's grandson. In the seventh year of Yongle, during Zhu Di's Northern Expedition, the prince supervised the country. Jin Zhong even served as the chief minister of the East Palace and was a die-hard East Palace princeling.Zhu Zhanquan took over the task of training troops, and Jin Zhong, as the Minister of War, would definitely give his full support.

"Is it Jin Shangshu from the Ministry of War? Grandpa told me when he gave me the gold medal that the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War will allocate all my military training needs. If Jin Shangshu takes care of me, I will feel more at ease." Zhu Zhancheng naturally understood that there was How much convenience can a military minister of one's own camp gain from training his own troops.

Not to mention anything else, just the soldiers and weapons and equipment can make a big fuss. The effects of this group of young people and a group of old and weak people used to train troops are very different, let alone deliberately stuffing a lot of veterans. How should oily seeds give people a headache?

Although these things are not insurmountable for Zhu Zhanchun, it is obvious that one more thing is worse than one less thing. It is better to have someone to help facilitate things than to be embarrassed everywhere.

However, despite his relationship with Jin Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhu Zhanquan still asked Zhu Gaochi after thinking about it: "Dad, do you have anyone who is good at coordinating practical matters? I need someone who can help me deal with various matters in the army. Miscellaneous chores, chief bookkeeper who coordinates logistics.”

"If you ask that question, there is indeed a suitable candidate, but he is currently imprisoned in prison by your grandfather..." Zhu Gaochi hesitated, not knowing whether he should recommend this person to his son.

When Zhu Zhanjuan heard what Zhu Gaochi said, he immediately became interested and asked curiously: "Who is it? To be locked up in prison by grandpa, what did he commit?"

"You also know this person, he is Bachelor Jie Jinjie. He was demoted for crimes in the fifth year of Yongle. During your grandfather's Northern Expedition, he went to the capital for trouble. After paying homage to me, he went back. As a result, he was framed by your second uncle. Your grandpa was angered by your disrespectful manners, so he was sent to prison." Zhu Gaochi briefly explained a few words, and then said: "Originally, I shouldn't have involved you in this matter, but a talented man like Xie Xue Shi is really I can’t bear to see him buried, so if you can fish out Bachelor Jie, he will definitely be able to help you handle military affairs.”

Hearing that Zhu Gaochi recommended Jie Jin to him, Zhu Zhanquan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

As for whether Xie Jin has the ability to help him, there is definitely no problem. This is a talent who has served as the chief minister of the cabinet and compiled the "Yongle Dadian". There is definitely no problem in helping him handle military affairs.

It's just that the only way for people who were imprisoned in prison to get them out was to ask the emperor for forgiveness, instead of stealing people out stupidly.

However, Xie Jin was originally demoted because he was displeased by Zhu Di because he got involved in the fight for the heir apparent. Now Zhu Zhanquan's intercession will most likely only make Zhu Di angry rather than release him.

So Zhu Zhanjuan hesitated for a while and then said to Zhu Gaochi: "Dad, I know about Bachelor Jie, but I won't be able to save him now if I go to ask Grandpa. Why don't you let the prince wash his horse first, Lord Yang Puyang?" Give me a hand and solve the bachelor's problem and I'll figure it out later."

"That's... okay, then I'll ask Mr. Yang to go back and find you." Zhu Gaochi also knew that he couldn't force this kind of thing, so he didn't say much and just agreed to Zhu Zhancheng's request for Yang Pu's help.

　Speaking of the Yongle period, there were really many talents in the imperial prison. Let’s not mention Jie Jin. Yang Pu also studied in the imperial prison for ten years. Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji also entered the imperial prison. Zhu Gaochi’s East Palace Except for Jin Zhong, all the subordinate officials had to go to jail. Longchang realized that he was the right person.
