"No, no, no, no, second brother, I'd better go home and sleep at night. It's getting late, so I'll leave first." King Zhao was not as generous as the King of Han.

"Then go and get a bed for Zhan Zhen, and we, uncle and nephew, can have a heart-to-heart talk."

"Second uncle, no, I have to go home to give birth to the baby at night." Zhu Zhanchen refused quickly.

Prince Zhao was about to leave. As soon as he reached the door, the eunuch beside Zhu Di came.

"Your Majesty ordered that Prince Zhao, the King of Han, should go home after he has been fooling around all day. My headache will go away as much as possible."

"Nonsense, it must be nonsense. I'll go find the old man." Prince Han lifted up the quilt, walked to the door, pushed it angrily, and was about to rush out.

The old eunuch stood in front of him: "Prince Han, your Majesty is tired and has rested. This is your Majesty's oral order. If you go, I'm sure it will become an imperial edict."

"Okay, okay, they all gang up to bully me." Prince Han glared at everyone and put the door down: "I'll come back tomorrow."

Zhu Gaosui also followed Zhu Gaoxu and left.

Zhu Zhanchen finally breathed a sigh of relief. The second uncle was really difficult to deal with. He had no conflicts with him before, but this time he helped the fat father, but he was scolded by the second uncle. If not

Zhu Zhanzhen didn't take his good attitude to heart, he was afraid that he would have to fight today.

Seeing the two people leaving, Zhu Zhanzhen was about to leave too, but the eunuch stopped him: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Zhujiang County, your Majesty has invited you."

"Hasn't Grandpa Huang already rested?"

"That's what Prince Han said."

Really, they teamed up to bully Prince Han.

Zhu Zhanzhen followed the old eunuch to Zhu Di's side.

Zhu Di was sitting in his Taoist robe and seemed to have been waiting for him for a while.

Zhu Zhanxun came in and asked first: "Grandpa Huang, are you feeling better?" Zhu Di didn't let them come to pay their respects these days, not even the great sage Zhu Zhanji came.

"Come here, Zhan Zhan, to Grandpa Huang. These are pastries from the imperial kitchen. They taste good. You should also eat some." Zhu Di was like an ordinary grandfather greeting his grandson for dessert.

Those delicate and small pastries are very beautiful.

Judging from the smile, Zhu Di's health should be much better.

While eating pastries, Zhu Di said: "I like your song "Qinyuan Chun Yongle Emperor" very much. Thousands of ancient romantic figures still have the courage to look at it today."

"Grandpa Huang, you still don't know your grandson's abilities."

"I heard that your second uncle scolded you all day today?" Zhu Di finally got down to business.

Zhu Zhanzhen smiled helplessly and shook his head: "It doesn't count as a whole day."

"Your father has been hiding for a whole day and you have to shoulder the responsibility. Don't you complain?"

"Don't complain. My father just doesn't want to have a direct conflict with my second uncle. My second uncle will scold me. As long as I don't take it seriously, it will be fine. My father and my second uncle are not completely at loggerheads. It's better this way."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanzhen with admiration: "You are smart, your second uncle will come tomorrow, will you still go?"

"Let's change the third brother tomorrow. I can't stand being scolded every day."

"Your third brother is not good. After all, you have a better relationship with Gao Xu, and Gao Xu is more scrupulous. Although your third brother will not get angry because of being scolded, your second uncle has always been very demanding, and he must deliberately embarrass your third brother.

.”

Zhu Di still knows his son better than his father.

So I have to be scolded tomorrow?

"Grandpa Huang, what do you think we should do?"

"Don't look so gloomy. I will order Gao Xu to return to his fiefdom early tomorrow morning."

Zhu Di's words were beyond Zhu Zhanzhen's expectations. Zhu Di's decree was tantamount to completely helping Zhu Gaochi. In this way, could the second uncle not hold grudges?

"What, you don't believe it?"

"No, it's just..." Zhu Zhanchen did not dare to continue.

It was rumored outside that Zhu Di preferred his second son, but he didn't expect that Zhu Di would clearly favor his eldest son in this important matter.

The only explanation is that Zhu Gaochi's handling of this matter has already been approved by Zhu Di. How many days has it been?

"Your father talked to me before and arranged for all of you to return to the fiefdom, and Zhanji is no exception. If Gao Xu and Gao Chi don't come back, it will be a violation of the vassal king's etiquette. Without the courtesy of ministers, the entire dynasty will be conquered by civil servants.

It doesn't matter to them one or two days, but over time they will be written down in the history books, which is a bit uglier."

"So Grandpa Huang is going to issue an edict to let the second uncle and the third uncle return to the fiefdom?"

"Part of the reason is that everyone knows that I am the founder of the rebellion. I have expanded the territory of the Ming Dynasty to an unprecedented level. I should be considered a good emperor, but if I end up confiscating the end, I will have to be talked about in the history books.

Ichiban.”

Zhu Di began to think about his posthumous name.

When people reach old age, some people are greedy for life, while others are carefree. Those who are greedy for life will never understand the state of mind of those who face life and death with openness.

"Your father came to tell me about his arrangement two days ago. I am very satisfied with it."

This is the reason why Zhu Di helped Zhu Gaochi.

"What did father say?"

"He arranged for all the vassal kings and princes to go out, but you did not return to Guangzhou. Instead, he arranged for you to go to Japan. Have you considered the reason?"

"I thought about it but didn't understand it. My father never took the initiative to conquer foreign countries, but this time he allowed me to go to Japan. There was also a conquest intention behind his words, but I never understood it."

Zhu Di said with appreciation: "He will arrange for you to go to sea from Weihai Port. Weihai Port is the place where Zhanji is responsible. Zhanji has already gone back when you set off. At the same time, Gao Chi will send additional troops to Shandong for possible subsequent conquests."

The 150,000 permanent garrison troops are under the charge of Zhanji and are ready to respond to you at any time."

Zhu Zhanzhen's eyes widened: "Send an additional 150,000 soldiers to be stationed in Shandong."

"Yes, we have heavily deployed troops in Shandong. Shandong, I was blocked in Shandong during the early stages of the Jingnan crisis." Zhu Di recalled the past.

Damn it, this real dad is awesome.

This is equivalent to letting Zhu Zhanji guard Shandong for a long time with heavy troops. Once Zhu Gaoxu returns to his fiefdom, even if he intends to raise troops to go north, there is no fear that he will be caught off guard.

No wonder Zhu Zhanzhen was asked to go to Japan. This was just an excuse to station troops.

It seemed that everyone, including himself, had underestimated Zhu Gaochi before. Once he started planning, he was thorough and cautious, not only to suppress Zhu Gaochi in the court, but also to take precautions in actual preparations.

What Zhu Di didn't want the most was for his sons and grandsons to fight each other in the future. With Zhu Gaochi's plan and his son's excellence, the Ming Dynasty should be able to continue to prosper.

With Zhu Gaochi's character, if he becomes emperor in the future, Zhu Gaoxu will have a way out.

And more importantly, Zhu Gaochi also swore in front of him that he would not give up an inch of the land of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

When Zhu Zhanchen was shocked, Zhu Di pushed a token in front of him.
