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

Chapter 63 Is there any prince in the world for 60 years?
Although he was his own son, Zhu Gaochi could not call Zhu Zhanji home to help him.

And for Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son's ability in this area is far inferior to that of the second son.

Is Zhu Zhanji capable?This is of course certain and does not need to be denied. Although he is still a teenager now, he has received royal education since childhood and was trained by the emperor himself. There is no doubt about Zhu Zhanji's ability.

But similarly, it may be fine for a teenage boy to do some practical things, but it is a bit difficult for him to formulate national policies and participate in major national affairs.

In the Ming Dynasty, even the top, second, and second-class scholars who came from the imperial examination could not immediately participate in political affairs, or be released to the state capital to become chief executives.

After completing the imperial examination, they are usually awarded positions such as editors of the Hanlin Academy or Shujishi, and then observe government affairs among various ministries of the imperial court, so as to understand the operation of the imperial government and accumulate relevant work experience.

Usually it takes three years, after you have accumulated enough experience and become familiar with the court's procedures, before you can actually be granted a real job.

As for those who are in the top three and are Jinshi like my wife, they will be sent to other places. If they are lucky, they may directly become officials such as county magistrates, but they are still in the minority.

Those plots in film and television works or literary works, such as those who win the first place in the Jinshi and become the county magistrate, are mostly conjecture and literary processing, and the top three, number one, second place, and third overall are generally not released outside. Instead, he started working directly from the center of the imperial court and could be promoted quickly. Compared with local officials who had to endure hard qualifications, they were already two different concepts.

Therefore, it is rare for Zhu Zhanjun to participate in national affairs. It is normal arrangement for Zhu Zhanji to run errands for Zhu Di and catch assassins.

Although it is outrageous to ask an emperor's eldest grandson to pretend to be a royal guard to catch assassins.

"Forget it about your eldest brother. He is still a bit impatient and scheming. This kind of court policy should be formulated with benevolence and justice. Conspiracies and calculations are not the way to govern the country." Zhu Gaochi shook his head and educated his second son: "Zhan Zhan You have been smart since you were a child and are steady in your work. Dad is confident in you. However, sometimes you are utilitarian in doing things. Although it is not unacceptable, you should still think more about the way of governing the country to find the most suitable one. The method is above.

Just like you said that this new money bank is a good way to solve the problem of silver shortage in Ming Dynasty, but you also need to consider the reactions of all parties after the implementation of this policy and what kind of impact it will have on the people.

It should be noted that even a cough in the imperial court will cause a storm when it reaches the place, and a grain of dust will become a big mountain to the common people.

You want to obtain silver mines by conquering the Japanese country. Dad supports you. This is just like your grandfather fighting against the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. There are always some battles that must be fought. If our generation does not fight, it will be left to the next generation. .

But war should not be started lightly. Whenever war starts, it can only be used as a last resort. Even if war is to start, you still need to consider whether there are other solutions besides war. Whether the country and the court can bear this war? Will the common people be burdened by the war?

Just like if you want to fight against Japan, besides war, are there other ways to get silver mines from Japan?It should be noted that the two expeditions against Japan in the Yuan Dynasty failed to succeed. We must learn from this and avoid wasting people and money.

These are things that politicians need to consider, and they are also the experience accumulated over the years when my father was the prince and supervising the country.Your eldest brother is adventurous and fun-loving, and his temperament is not as calm as yours. You are brothers. You should remind him more in the future..." At this point, Zhu Gaochi seemed to feel that he had said too much today, and the meaning of preaching was a bit heavy. , maybe Zhu Zhanju didn’t like to hear it, so he laughed self-deprecatingly and stopped talking: "Forget it, let’s not talk about it. It’s too early to tell you these things now. We still don’t know what our family will be like in the future. Maybe Your grandfather will depose your father as the crown prince later and let your second uncle take over the throne. Our family will find a place to be the prince for the rest of our lives! "

Zhu Zhanquan was willing to listen to what Zhu Gaochi said. After all, this was the political experience summed up by a figure who was in charge of the power center of the Ming Dynasty.

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree, you should listen with an open mind and absorb the useful parts based on your own reality.

As for the future between himself and his eldest brother that Zhu Gaochi mentioned, Zhu Zhanjuan could certainly hear that Zhu Gaochi meant that he should assist Zhu Zhanji and urge him to be a good emperor.

But this topic is still a bit too early for Zhu Zhanchen, or it is something he doesn't want to talk about and consider now.

Although he himself did not want to be the emperor, his eldest brother Zhu Zhanji, as the Xuande Emperor who was famous in history, could be regarded as a qualified monarch, but who could say anything about the throne?

Just like what my father Zhu Gaochi said, if the old man had a seizure and deposed the crown prince and established him as the king of Han, all the plans would be in vain.

Even with Zhu Zhanjun here, this kind of thing will definitely not happen.

"Dad, you don't have to say these words. That's my eldest brother. How can I ignore him in the future?" Zhu Zhanjuan comforted Zhu Gaochi with a smile, and at the same time expressed some of his own thoughts: "I am the emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty. This I also have a share in the Ming Dynasty. It would be a waste if the immortal methods I learned from Penglai Immortal Island are shelved!

If we don’t transform our Ming Dynasty into an immortal dynasty on earth, won’t all the skills I learned be in vain?This time I helped grandpa train soldiers, which is just a small test.

As for the second uncle, you don't have to worry. If he keeps to himself and becomes a good king, maybe grandpa will consider establishing a virtuous man. But if the second uncle wants to compete for the heirloom, grandpa will not consider giving him the country.

And am I not here?It is difficult for the Immortal family to achieve immortality, but I still have a way to extend my life. Let’s extend my grandfather’s life, and then just spend it like this. When my second uncle passes away, the throne will not belong to you, dad? "

"Your method is really damaging!" Zhu Gaochi also laughed. Of course he could hear what Zhu Zhancheng meant.

Is there any prince in the world who has lived for 60 years?This is definitely the last thing every prince wants to see.

After all, if there is an emperor who can live longer than you, who knows how long it will take for you to succeed?If something went wrong and he could sit on the throne before the emperor or he was already in his seventies, wouldn't this situation be embarrassing?
And now that Zhu Zhanjun exists, it seems that it is not impossible for Zhu Gaochi to be the prince for decades.
