Chapter 94: Hidden worries in the court
Comparing the two, Zhu Gaosui, even with a pig's brain, could analyze that although the conditions in Nuer Gandusi were a little more difficult, he could still live a stable life.

If I really want to go to the Chief Secretary of Cochin, I am afraid that all my time will be spent either suppressing the local rebellion or returning to Beijing to pay tribute.

He can also read maps. The Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi is further away from Nanjing than Nuergandusi. Not to mention that when the imperial court moves the capital to Peiping, the distance it will take will be twice as long as it is now. Just go back and forth from Jiaozhi. One trip would take more than half a year.

At that time, he would not have to do anything else. He would spend one year suppressing the rebellion and one year traveling back and forth to the capital, which was exactly one trip every two years.

Thinking of having to live like this in the future, Zhu Gaosui suddenly trembled all over. He quickly took Zhu Zhanchun's hand and said, "Zhanchun! Third uncle treats you very well. You must miss your third uncle!"

The climate in Gandusi, this slave, is bitter and cold, so he should work hard to care for his third uncle!Your second uncle's fiefdom was originally in Yunnan, and now it's not too far to move to Jiaozhi. He must like that place! "

Facing Zhu Gaosui's flattery, Zhu Zhanjun didn't take it seriously. He just pushed away Zhu Gaosui's hand, then smiled and said to him: "Third uncle, it's useless for you to tell me about this. You have to tell grandpa.

He asked you and your second uncle to choose a place. As long as you choose the place before your second uncle and show your willingness to go and become a vassal, then grandpa will be happy, and it will be done, right?
Maybe grandpa thinks that the conditions in Nuer Gandusi are too difficult, so he might give you some compensation. Third uncle, you have to take advantage of it! "

After listening to Zhu Zhanjuan's words, Zhu Gaosui nodded in agreement and said solemnly to Zhu Zhanjuan: "Second nephew, don't worry, third uncle has remembered what happened this time. From now on, when third uncle comes to Nuerqian, as long as it is local Yes, your third uncle can get it for you. Just ask, but if your third uncle frowns, you will treat me as your uncle!"

After saying these words, Zhu Gaosui saw that Zhu Gaochi seemed to have something to say to Zhu Zhanyu, so he turned and left the tent.

He is just a pawn now, and according to the rules of the army, he is not qualified to stay in the big tent.

But after leaving the tent, Zhu Gaosui felt that his back was soaked with sweat.

Zhu Gaosui knew Zhu Di's temper well. He knew that if Zhu Di had already made up his mind about the vassalship, there would be no need to slow down. He was not the second child. He was not as shameless and shameless as him to stay in the capital and stay in the vassalage.

Moreover, after what happened this time, Zhu Di did not behead their heads. He was only demoted to the military camp as pawns for three months. This was considered a leniency. If he didn't go and become a feudal lord, he would probably be imprisoned.

Although Nurgan is suffering from the cold, after all, he will be the legitimate vassal king after he leaves. Life may be really difficult, but at least he is free and at ease, which is much better than being imprisoned.

What's more, Zhu Gaojiu also realized that with Zhu Zhanju's awakening, the old man had another helper to fight for the throne. He and Zhu Gaojiu alone could not even defeat Zhu Gaochi, let alone this man whose thoughts were deeper than the sea. Zhu Zhanjun?
Zhu Gaosui knew what happened this time even if he thought about it with his buttocks. It was Zhu Gaosui who had the idea to come to Beijing every two years and reopen the main hall for the prince's son to enroll.

In order to fight for the savings of his father, the crown prince, he even came up with such vicious ideas. If he continued to follow the old man and dance around, sooner or later he would lose his head.

So this time Zhu Gaosui had made up his mind. No matter what the second brother said, he would not believe it. He would rather go to Nuergan and become a poor vassal king than lose his head with him.As for the rest, let’s take it one step at a time!

Over at the main tent, watching Zhu Gaosui leave, Zhu Gaochi asked Zhu Zhanyu: "You came up with this idea for your grandfather, right?"

Zhu Zhanji on the side heard Zhu Gaochi say this and looked at his second brother in surprise. He was surprised why Zhu Zhanchun would come up with such an idea. After all, Zhu Zhanchun himself would also be a vassal in the future, so he was not afraid. Did you screw yourself up too?
Or... Zhu Zhanji remembered his previous suspicion again. If Zhu Zhanqi could become emperor in the future, then there would be no problem for him to come up with this idea. After all, he couldn't trick himself.

Thinking of this, although the expression on Zhu Zhanji's face did not change, there was something inexplicable in his eyes.

Zhu Zhanju saw the change in Zhu Zhanji's eyes, but didn't say anything. He just smiled at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Dad, why do you think it was my idea? It can't be the trick that the demon monk Yao Guangxiao came up with for grandpa. ?”

"Although Master Daoyan came up with such an idea, this is not his style." Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said to Zhu Zhanyu: "Although everything he does can be called a demon monk, your grandfather commented Master Yan has a "magnificent instrument and a strong temperament". This is a vicious idea that Master Yan can come up with but can't use, nor would he recommend it to your grandpa.

Based on my understanding of Master Daoyan, he will only let your grandfather gather the military power of the feudal king, and then support him with a generous salary, completely solving the possibility of the feudal king causing rebellion, instead of letting the feudal kings in the world raise Gu like you. !

Do you know that according to your method, although the court can effectively control the vassal states everywhere, if someone can break the situation and fight out of the predicament you have created, what will the court do?That would be another battle of peace! "

Zhu Gaochi said, looking at Zhu Zhanchen with some worry.

In fact, he has heard some bad news recently, including one about Zhu Zhanquan, who said that he was possessed by an evildoer and that all the supernatural phenomena he displayed were the evildoer's words that brought trouble to Chao Gang. The court should not condone him. Lock him up in a temple to drive away evil spirits!

Although Zhu Gaochi relied on his influence within the civil service group to suppress this matter, he had already seen that Zhu Zhanchun's various actions that were unusual and filled with rumors of ghosts and gods had already been criticized by the civil service group. of exclusion.

After all, for the civil service group that has always supported the East Palace, Zhu Zhanji is the candidate for the emperor's grandson that they have been cultivating for many years. As long as the smooth inheritance of the two generations of emperors Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji can be guaranteed in the future, then the Ming Dynasty will be It was completely stabilized, and the civil servant group would also re-establish the authority and legitimacy of Confucianism by supporting the smooth succession of two generations of emperors.

But it happened that at this time, Zhu Zhanyu appeared and showed even better talents and methods of talking about ghosts and gods than Zhu Zhanji. How could this not be doubted and rejected by others?
For Zhu Gaochi, if what he wants is to stabilize the country and the court, the most important thing to do is to let Zhu Di make Zhu Zhanquan the king, and then send him to the vassal state to become a vassal. If he cultivates immortality, no one will care about him anymore.

But Zhu Gaochi couldn't make up his mind, and he couldn't bear to let go of his son who had been sleeping for eight years before waking up. He couldn't bear to see the father and son separated from each other from now on.
