Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 111 A little affection, but not much
  "Goodbye, second cousin!"

Zhu Xuan stood in front of the palace gate, waving his little hands vigorously.

During a trip to Prince Yan's Mansion today, he almost gained the favor of Zhu Di's entire family. He showed off his cleverness, cleverness, and perfection, making Zhu Gaoxu and the others like him so much.

Especially Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Xuan deliberately praised him and said a few words about how brave he was on the battlefield and even more powerful than General Xu Da back then, etc., which made Zhu Gaoxu almost dizzy.

The only thing that was wrong was probably the great monk Yao Guangxiao, who was so weird that Zhu Xuan couldn't see through it.

"Little cousin, go back quickly!"

Zhu Gaoxu also waved vigorously.

Watching Zhu Xuan walk into the palace gate, he turned back.

After Zhu Xuan entered the palace, he was thinking that the fourth uncle's family, except for the fourth uncle and the great monk, was actually quite good. Shouldn't he divide them from within in the future?
  Then it depends on whether the fourth uncle will regard him as an enemy.

As soon as he returned to his small yard, Zhu Xuan saw Yun Qi waiting for him.

"Little grandson of the emperor, your majesty invites you."

Since Grandpa Huang invited him, Zhu Xuan hurriedly came to the main hall and said happily: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson played at the fourth uncle's house for a long time today."

"Fourth child?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "How is your fourth uncle?"

"Of course, he made a lot of chicken drumsticks for his grandson. He came back when he was full. He couldn't eat with Grandpa Huang anymore."

Zhu Xuan said happily.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then come and have a chat with us. What do you think of your fourth uncle?"

Zhu Xuan could not directly explain yet that his fourth uncle had the intention to seize the throne, and said: "My fourth uncle is a great general. He must have done a lot of work by the emperor's side. He has a good relationship with many ministers in the capital. Gao Xu's cousin said, After the fourth uncle came back, he often walked around with the ministers in the court or visited them. The fourth uncle is really amazing."

Frequently walking around with those ministers shows that Zhu Di is very popular in the court.

There is another way to win over the minds of the ministers in the DPRK.

Zhu Xuan's words were innocent and cute, and he even admired Zhu Di a little, but Zhu Yuanzhang could hear a special feeling, so how could he not know what the fourth child was thinking.

Through Xiaoguaisun's words, he was more sure of Zhu Di's thoughts, but he did nothing.

"But it's a bit strange to have a big monk in black next to my fourth uncle."

"When he met his grandson today, he grabbed his hand and touched it for a while."

"I don't know what I want to do."

Zhu Xuan told the matter again, mainly because he wanted Grandpa Huang to deepen his memory of Yao Guangxiao and felt that something was wrong with this great monk.

"Monk in black?"

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled the past and remembered that this monk was the one he arranged for Zhu Di.

But he didn't know very well whether the monk had any problems.

After hearing what his darling grandson said, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that something was wrong with Dao Yan, so he grabbed his darling grandson's hand and touched it. He asked Jiang Wei to check it out when he found time, and then said, "Are you having fun?"

"happy!"

Zhu Xuan affirmed.

He also talked about taking Ma Sanbao away.

At the end of their chat, Zhu Xuan, who had been walking outside for a day, felt a little sleepy and yawned.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Hou Xian to send him back to rest.

After the little darling grandson left, Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about Zhu Di's affairs.

"If that boy, Fourth Brother, dares to misbehave with our darling grandson, we will kill him even if he is his own son!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

There is family affection in the royal family, but not much.

In the struggle for power, it is not uncommon for brothers and fathers to kill each other.

Zhu Yuanzhang would do anything for the heir he was most satisfied with, and it was normal to be ruthless.

——     Return to the small courtyard.

Zhu Xuan stretched, but his eyes suddenly turned and fell on Hou Xian and Ma Sanbao. These two future Ming navigators fell into his hands.

"Ma Sanbao, this name doesn't sound good. Let me think of one for you... from now on, let's call it Zheng He, right?"

Zhu Xuan said.

"Thank you, little emperor, for the name!"

Zheng He bowed and bowed.

Zhu Xuan was very satisfied that Zheng He discovered it by himself, and said: "From now on, you will stay with Hou Xian. I will take you to the factory tomorrow."

As for the shipyard, he decided to leave it to Zheng He.

Zheng He would naturally have no objection.

When Hou Xian heard that Zheng He was under his own management and could finally manage others, he almost burst out laughing and thanked Zhu Xuan quickly.

"Hou Xian, if you have time, teach Zheng He all the knowledge I have taught you."

Zhu Xuan added.

Zheng He was very confused about what knowledge they wanted to teach him, but he did not dare to say anything nonsense for fear of offending the little emperor grandson, so he just accepted the order with Hou Xian.

Early the next morning.

Zhu Xuan took them with him to the factory.

The shipyard is on the bank of the Yangtze River. When Zhu Xuan came here, he asked: "Zheng He, do you have any other views on going to sea?"

Zheng He felt confused again, but quickly shook his head slightly.

"The sea is endlessly mysterious and offers many things for us to explore and develop."

Zhu Xuan acted old-fashioned and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have any ideas now, you will in the future. My shipyard will be in your charge from now on, and all the craftsmen here will be under your command. Wait until you follow Hou Xian , after learning enough knowledge, I can take over the shipyard and help me explore the sea in the future and open up overseas territories for the Ming Dynasty."

Zheng He finally understood that the little emperor grandson was going to give him a very glorious task.

But why would the little emperor grandson give this kind of task to himself?

Or was that the idea that led him away from the palace that day?

Zheng He couldn't understand this, but at this moment, he knelt down and said: "Thank you so much for the little emperor's grandson's attention to me. It's just that I... don't know anything. I'm afraid it will delay the little emperor's grandson's important event."

Regarding the little emperor's grandson, he consulted Hou Xian last night and already knew a lot.

I also understand what Zhu Xuan wants to do.

He could also see the achievements of the factory, and he would not be disdainful of them because of Zhu Xuan's young age.

"If you don't know it now, you can still learn it. You will be able to do it in the future. You have to give yourself some confidence."

Zhu Xuan encouraged: "You have to believe that you can do it."

Zheng He's eyes heated up. After living for so long, this was the first time someone had said such words to him since he became a eunuch.

"Thank you, little grandson!"

"I am confident that I will do my best for my little grandson."

Zheng He said gratefully.

It's like a horse that meets Bole's thousand-mile horse.

Zhu Xuan patted him on the shoulder: "As for the ship, we are not in a hurry right now. You and Hou Xian will study the steam engine together, and then find a way to increase the speed of forging steel, so that shipbuilding will be much faster."

"Yes!"

Hou Xian and Zheng He said at the same time.

Zhu Xuan added: "Okay, let's go back to the factory for a walk. Zheng He is here for the first time, so he needs to get familiar with the conditions of the factory."

They left the river and went back to the factory.

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a gunshot from inside. It seemed that someone was testing the gun again. Zhu Xuan thought that Uncle Twenty was coming.
