[There will be Alipay cash red envelope guessing activities in the evening, if you want to see it for the first time, everyone pay attention to the WeChat public account: a few words of microwords. 】

"Erchen is here. My father hasn't seen him for so long, and his hair has turned a lot whiter. Zhu Cihong quietly looked at the nominally wealthy emperor in front of him and bowed softly.

Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth, thought about it, and finally didn't speak, went straight around the table, and helped Zhu Cihong up in the past: "Brother Hong'er has indeed made me not see me for a long time." After more than a year of farewell, Brother Hong'er has grown so much taller, but he is not as white as before, and your queen mother will go to my ears to nag when she sees it. ”

The father and son gossiped and walked side by side towards the harem rockery.

When they found a pavilion, they sat down separately, and they looked at each other but were speechless.

"Brother Hong'er fought well in Shandong." Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen still laughed: "It is worthy of being my son Zhu Youzhen, counting it, I have been on the throne for so many years, maybe the most right thing to do is to cultivate a good prince for our Zhu family, and finally did not stop you from leaving the palace." ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he bowed his head and said, "The son is not filial. ”

He was talking about breaking out of the palace last year.

Hearing Zhu Cihong say this, Zhu Youzhen was quietly relieved in his heart. He couldn't help but think of what Fu Shuxun said that day when he dissuaded him.

At that time, if there was no certainty, there was still room for anything. But if he insisted on committing the crime of Zhu Cihong's escape, then I am afraid that the prince would not have killed Abatai and brought back 800,000 taels of silver.

800,000 taels of capture, which is almost worth a Suzhou mansion.

This not only represents Zhu Cihong's sincerity, but also represents Zhu Cihong's strength.

Zhu Youzhen groaned for a moment. Looking at the prince in front of him, he said softly: "Things from the past." Don't mention it. Tell me about your plans, stay in Shandong or Henan. Or, go back to the palace? ”

Speaking of the word "return to the palace", even Zhu Youzhen understands that this possibility is too difficult and too difficult.

Not to mention whether Zhu Cihong himself is willing, even if Zhu Cihong himself is willing to return to the palace, what about the big mess that was left behind? Could it be that the ruling team of the Prince's East Palace will also be resurrected, and the power will be shared openly with the court separated by a wall?

What's more, the 20,000 strong soldiers of the Royal Guards Legion are not taken care of by Zhu Cihong himself, and it is difficult to operate alone.

and that capture, Zhu Youzhen understood that 800,000 taels was just a fraction. Zhu Cihong definitely has more. With so much money alone, Zhu Cihong would not feel at ease to enter the deep palace that he could not control.

Sure enough, Zhu Cihong bypassed the topic without a trace: "Does my father want his son to get married earlier?" Speaking of which, the sons still follow the teachings of their fathers and do not want to covet the love of their children. In the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing had a good saying, the Huns were not destroyed, how could they be home. Now the Jiannu are ravaging Liaodong, and the northern Tatars have been unified. The external troubles have risen, and the internal troubles have not been settled. Erchen still hopes to do more things for his father outside the palace. With filial piety. ”

Zhu Youzhen's voice changed slightly: "I have received this filial piety." ”

For a while, the two fell silent, and the embarrassment suddenly spread for a long time.

Long. It was Zhu Youzhen who broke the silence and said: "The Ming Dynasty has its own system, and it is difficult to care if you have merit or not. Brother Hong. Tell me how you will be rewarded. ”

"Kindness is from above, and the sons dare not speculate. Only. Gyeonggi has a deep defense, and the sons dare not take responsibility. Zhu Cihong said calmly. Affectionate.

Zhu Youzhen took a closer look, and indeed didn't see Zhu Cihong shirking anything, thinking of this, he sighed slightly: "Our father and son are really unfamiliar." This is your favorite peach when you were a child, a crisp peach with a big top, and you can eat it without any flesh on the core. Come on, try it. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong immediately picked it up and ate it: "It's still the same taste as usual." The child searched outside for a long time, but he did not find such a taste. ”

"Silly boy, it's for the palace, how dare other fruit farmers give it to you." At this moment, Queen Zhou came over and brought a pot of oranges and a sour plum soup with a hint of cool air: "Sit on such a big day, like what, come and eat some drinks, our heavenly family, all thinking about messy things." ”

With Empress Zhou's gentle words, Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Cihong showed some surprised expressions.

After a long time, after eating the fruit snacks, Zhu Cihong and Zhu Youzhen finally lost some restraint when they talked.

In fact, when Zhu Cihong relinquished control of Gyeonggi, Zhu Youzhen's wariness had been reduced by a point.

Many times, the verbal expression is emotionless, and you can't hear the real person communicating sincerely in front of you, and the emotions made up by the brain are completely different.

Zhu Youzhen said in his heart, maybe he had thought too much before.

Quietly, the conversation between the two returned to their future plans.

Zhu Cihong thought about it and said: "Erchen fought this time, but thanks to the fact that from Linqing to Kaifeng some time ago, enough naval talents have been accumulated in the thousands of miles of water transportation. This time, I took a detour of thousands of miles, entered the canal from Linqingshui Road, turned into the sea, and went north around Lijin. It's really a very big circle, and that's what makes it a surprise attack. I really felt the new world of my sea. Overseas, there is Korea, which has been conquered by Jiannu, and there is the land of Dongying, and there is a vast new world that is pregnant with wealth. ”

Zhu Youzhen listened attentively and asked: "The sea is sinister, and if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die." I'm afraid this is not an easy road. ”

"Ship wrecks and people die, it's inevitable. But again, it's also an opportunity. Talented and powerful people can build bigger ships, develop more advanced technology, and recruit more experienced sailors and captains. In this way, the risk can always be reduced. Moreover, the higher the risk, the higher the profit. It is too difficult to dig food in the land, and if such a rich land on the sea can be developed well, it is like rebuilding ten hundred Suzhou Mansions! Zhu Cihong said, and became familiar with it carefully: "Just like my Ming Dynasty pays taxes, the Jingshi has a meritorious name and can be tax-exempt, so that the group of people who account for the greatest benefits of the Ming Dynasty have the least contribution to the Ming Dynasty." With such an imbalance, the Ming Dynasty will lose here sooner or later. ”

"Ahem......" Zhu Youzhen coughed lightly, not wanting to continue the topic. After all, in the last days of the dynasty, it was difficult to maintain the situation, so how could it be explored.

Zhu Cihong understood and immediately said: "It's like a workshop built by a child in a new city." Workshops can create higher value, give workers more wages, let more people have a way to live, and there are conveniences everywhere. At this time, no one dares to say how we collect taxes. In the same way, if the sea route is opened, how to collect taxes is also legitimate. Because ......"

"The child shielded the red eyes of the people of the world for these people. Collect taxes from the people and make them safe. It's a matter of two pennies. Zhu Cihong smiled, he saw Zhu Youzhen's intentions. (To be continued.) )
