port.

Zheng He and Zhu Gaoxu sat opposite each other.

Nie Xing and Guo Deng were ordered to guard the door and no one was allowed to spy.

Prince Han was sitting upright, paying full respect to the legendary man in front of him.

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu has always respected Zheng He because of his outstanding contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty and his achievements are comparable to Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty. They were both legendary diplomats and explorers with outstanding merits. They made outstanding contributions to the pioneering progress of the Chinese nation and opened their eyes to the world. Their names will last forever and will be remembered for generations to come.

What's more, Zheng He's trip to the American continent successfully brought back high-yielding food crops, which is of far-reaching significance.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu cannot treat this legendary figure with too much respect.

The two of them exchanged cups and cups and began to talk about their respective experiences over the years.

Zheng He, if you don't come back, there will really be trouble in the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and recounted what happened in the Ming Dynasty in the past few years.

When he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had passed away suddenly, Zheng He couldn't help but change his face and couldn't hide his sadness.

Zheng He and His Highness the Crown Prince had a deep friendship.

When the King of Yan, Zhu Dijing, was unable to raise an army, Zheng He assisted the Crown Prince of Yan, Zhu Gaochi, to plan food and fodder for the Yan army and solve the worries of the Yan army's march south.

The relationship between the two was very good at first, but after the founding of the Yongle Kingdom, His Majesty the Emperor ordered Zheng He to go to the West to promote the power of the Ming Dynasty. Prince Zhu Gaochi always opposed it because it was too laborious for people and money.

However, Zheng He was originally a eunuch and always relied on the emperor's will. In addition, he also had the ambition to be famous in history and make great achievements. Therefore, the harmonious relationship between the two broke down and they were not as close as before.

But even so, when Zheng He suddenly heard that Prince Zhu Gaoxu had died of illness, he felt very uncomfortable for a while.

After all, His Royal Highness the Prince has a kind heart and is considerate in his dealings with others. He can be said to be a wise king.

It's just a shame that His Highness the Prince was born fat, so he was so jealous of his talents that he died suddenly.

Zheng He was sad for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and his expression gradually became serious.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed away, which means that the throne of the Crown Prince is vacant, and the situation of Prince Han is very precarious!

When the prince passed away, his great-grandson Zhu Zhanji became the first candidate for the crown prince. However, there was a blood feud between the King of Han and his great-grandson!

When the prince was alive, the conflicts between the two parties could still be reconciled, but now that the middleman has been lost, what should we do?

Zheng He coughed slightly and directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

My lord, what will happen in the future?

This question is the most straightforward and shows Zheng He's attitude.

In the current situation, all officials have to make choices, and Zheng He is no exception.

Although Zheng He was an eunuch and was supposed to abide by his duties and be loyal to the emperor alone, but after seeing the Atlas of All Nations written by the King of Han, Zheng He made up his mind to support the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, and directly became a member of the Han King's party!

Even now, Zheng He has never doubted his decision.

The King of Han and the Grandson?

Of course it’s Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han!

Compared with His Highness the King of Han who valued the navy and had a long-term vision, what did Grandson Zhu Zhanji have?

Not to mention that His Highness the Grandson is not yet an adult and has no experience in managing government affairs. He has never even been in contact with the Navy, let alone that he will vigorously support the development of the Navy after taking power in the future!

Having been in charge of the Ming Dynasty Navy for so many years, Zheng He had long regarded the Navy as his career, which meant that he had no choice but to follow His Highness the King of Han to the end.

Only by following the footsteps of King Zhu Gaoxu of Han can the navy of the Ming Dynasty be able to gain opportunities and power, and can they continue to sail and patrol foreign lands!

In other words, once Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, comes to power, the Ming Dynasty Navy will either be abolished or die. Even if it will not be shelved, it will be abolished and liquidated and reduced to a bunch of trash waiting to die. It will be difficult to stand out. day!

So Zheng He now wants to test the thoughts of Prince Han. Since His Highness the Crown Prince has died of illness, should he, the Prince of Han, change his attitude and compete with his grandson Zhu Zhanji for the position of crown prince?

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly, and faced Zheng He's provocation, he directly gave a clear answer.

Old Zheng, the battle for the legitimate heir has begun.

Now I want to get the full support of the navy, do you understand what I mean?

Zhu Zhanji's vision is too narrow. Once he takes power, the first thing he will do is to suspend his voyages to the West, and the second thing will be to start liquidating overseas vassals, especially Zhu Gaosui, the King of Zhao who controls Nanyang!

In this way, the maritime defense line that you and I have worked so hard to lay out will disappear in an instant, and Ming Dynasty will also lose the opportunity to become a maritime hegemon. It is difficult to enjoy yourself in this corner of the east. This real world.

Zheng He did not refute this, but nodded with deep understanding.

Don't worry, Your Majesty, in this Ming Navy, Wu Xuan is the Admiral of the Navy, and I am the Imperial Envoy of the Navy. I have worked hard in the Navy for many years, and I have high prestige among the Navy. I will not leave any chance for others to take charge.

In addition, when we went to sea, the prince notified the Ministry of Industry and the Manufacturing Bureau to give priority to the most advanced equipment and supplies to the navy. For the first time, the officers and soldiers of the three armies felt that they were valued, even more than the army divisions, so they were all grateful to the prince.

My grandson Zhu Zhanji has never looked directly at our navy. Not to mention that he doesn't understand the importance of the navy. Even if he intends to step in and seize power, UU reading www.uukanshu.net it will not be an easy task. , not to mention that the navy has made a great contribution by bringing back the divine seed this time, and the emperor should not do anything that would chill the navy officers and soldiers.

Hearing these words, Zhu Gaoxu nodded happily.

Being able to get the full support of the Ming Navy also gave him sufficient confidence.

This time Zheng He led the navy to bring back the divine seed. This is undoubtedly a great achievement. As long as it works well, he can take this opportunity to cultivate a new force in the court, completely obeying his orders. Zhu Gaoxu's power group - the Navy Honorable!

Thinking like this, Zhu Gaoxu directly told Zheng He his thoughts.

Zheng He's face changed slightly when he first heard it. He felt that this was too risky.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor is still alive, so acting like this is likely to lead to unnecessary fear and suspicion.

However, Zhu Gaoxu didn't care at all and just smiled faintly.

The old man is already very disappointed with Zhu Zhanji. He just missed his old friendship and the prince just died of illness, so he did not abolish Zhu Zhanji, his grandson.

What we have to do now is to consume the old man's last trace of affection and expectation for Zhu Zhanji, and beat Zhu Zhanji to death with one stick, without giving him any hope of making a comeback!

In other words, we only need to do two things now. One is to continue to show off our muscles to Zhu Zhanji and the old man, and the other is to wait patiently for Zhu Zhanji to make mistakes and put himself on the road to death!

Zheng He suddenly realized what he said, but he was still a little worried.

Because His Highness the Grandson is known to be born with precocious wisdom, how could he be so easily fooled?

Zhu Gaoxu just chuckled, full of expectations for Zhu Zhanji.

These 'god seeds' are bait.

The bait has been thrown out, it just depends on whether he bites the hook.
