When Sun Qingyang was worried, Zhu Zhanji was in the small study in the front hall, talking with Emperor Yongle and the two of them, and the ancestors and grandchildren had a heart-to-heart relationship.

Before the banquet began, and the venison had not yet come up, Emperor Yongle summoned Zhu Zhanji into the small study in the front hall, leaving the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to entertain the vassal kings from all over the world.

The small study room is in the side of the front hall, which is equivalent to a small suite inside, the place where the guests in ancient times will have such a building layout, one is convenient for someone to rest temporarily when they are unwell in the banquet, and the other is also convenient to meet a guest alone, deal with letters, accounts, these more private matters, so the room is equipped with a desk and the four treasures of the study.

Of course, this kind of small study in the palace has a larger layout - even separated by eight nanmu screens painted with flowers and birds, and a bed for temporary rest is placed in the back.

After the two sat down in the study, a small waiter immediately came in with tea, and after pouring the tea, he quietly retreated and stood at the door in case anyone disturbed.

Zhu Zhanji sat on the chair and said with a smile: "I don't know if the emperor's grandfather summoned his grandson, but is there anything to order?" ”

Emperor Yongle's face was solemn, and when he asked, Zhu Zhanji was surprised, "Recently, how are you studying?" ”

It has been many years since he was crowned, and for so many years, the emperor's grandfather has never asked about his studies, why did he pull up this topic today?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Zhu Zhanji didn't show it on his face, just like Emperor Yongle asked him about this topic in the old days, and answered honestly: "Thanks to the emperor's grandfather's concern, my grandson is rereading "Historical Records" recently. Every morning, I will practice words and swords, and I dare not slack off for a day.

Emperor Yongle bowed slightly, "Well, the masters I found for you are all people with both ability and political integrity, who are rich in learning and have good conduct. Not only should you treat them with the courtesy of a disciple, respect and respect, and not be arrogant and rude as a prince, but you should also rely on them in many important matters. ”

Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, these words seemed to be similar to the déjà vu that the imperial grandfather confessed to him in the old years.

"Yes, Grandpa Huang, my grandson respects your teachings."

"Zhan'er, you say, shouldn't grandpa hand over this Ming dynasty to your father?" Emperor Yongle suddenly changed his words, and his expression changed from solemn to relaxed.

But this topic is clearly much more serious than what I just said, and the emperor's grandfather is becoming more and more moody. Zhu Zhanji was a little worried.

He was slightly stunned, and then said, "Why did Grandpa Huang say this? You are at the height of spring and autumn, how can you have such an idea? ”

Emperor Yongle smiled indifferently, "But I have heard some discussions, saying that the crown prince has been in the position of the crown prince for too long, and he is no longer willing to wait, what do you think?" ”

Who would say such a damaging remark to sow discord? Is the imperial grandfather suspicious again?

Zhu Zhanji hurriedly got up and knelt down, "Over the years, there have been so many rumors about the separation of the imperial grandfather and the father, since the original imperial grandfather established the prince, it has been promoted one after another, and the emperor and grandson have also heard it from time to time. ”

"Okay, Zhan'er, your father and son are of the same heart, okay! It's a pity that your father doesn't like you the most, and you protect him like this, but I am worried that after a hundred years, he will not be able to pass the throne to you. ”

Emperor Yongle pointed at Zhu Zhanji with his finger and said: "There is no one else in this house, since I asked you, you will answer honestly, you say, does your father dislike you?" ”

Zhu Zhanji got up with a smile and sat back on the chair, "My father is not the emperor's favorite and beloved son, and the emperor's grandfather even had the intention of being easy to save back then, why is his love for his father far more important than that of the second uncle and the third uncle over the years?" ”

Emperor Yongle laughed, "Good boy, you have learned to command your imperial grandfather's army." ”

He sighed, "Now, that is, you can tell me the truth, your father has always been silent when he sees me, and he is silent, let alone the courtiers." Although everyone thinks that your father is the son of King Yan, and King Yan is the emperor, he should naturally sit on the throne of the crown prince, but I did like your second uncle more at that time. ”

"In terms of martial arts, you know, he is very similar to me. In fact, even in the army, he has never forgotten to read, his calligraphy is arrogant, self-contained, and the poems and articles are also very good, especially when he saved me from all difficulties several times, I once implicitly said to him that once it is done, if you want to make him the prince and set up your father, it is to break his promise to him. ”

Zhu Zhanji was silent.

Emperor Yongle glanced at him and asked, "What?" Do you think I'm wrong? ”

Zhu Zhanji took a deep breath and said: "In fact, Sun Er also thinks that Junzheng is in his position; If the king is not right, he should take his throne...... If the father is really incompetent, even if he is supported in that position, he will lose it sooner or later, and even, it is not that position that he will lose, but the world. ”

"Grandson boldly speculated, the imperial grandfather, you are wise and powerful, the reason why you will choose your father later, is not as rumored in the market, because of the imperial grandmother, courtiers or grandchildren, these may also have a certain impact, but more importantly, the imperial grandfather has already considered in your heart, therefore, will push the boat down the river, over the years, the imperial grandfather has repeatedly taken the school examination for his father, in fact, it is a deep responsibility of love, right?"

In the year of Emperor Yongle, he initiated the "Jingnan", and in the name of the Qing monarch, he changed the dynasty and changed from the king of Yan to the emperor, so Zhu Zhanji said, "Junzheng, is in his position; If the king is not right, he should take his position. His heart was met with these words.

He smiled and said nothing, was silent for a moment, and said: "Yes, I won't hide it from you, and I did have an idea in my heart at that time to make your father the crown prince. Frankly speaking, your father is generous and magnanimous, the spirit of a king is full of heaven and earth, and his temperament is benevolent, quite the style of a king. Moreover, during the four years of Jingnan, he was alone in Beiping, and he has always been aware of words and deeds, and governed political affairs in an orderly manner, and has been supervising the country many times over the years, dignified and calm, sympathetic to the people's feelings, and lenient and ......"

"I am actually very satisfied with your father's mastery of political affairs and the leniency of his hands and feet, and the reason why it was difficult to choose at that time was because your second and third uncles also had their own strengths, and they were not mediocre people, and your father was too benevolent and weak, and I was worried that he would be coerced in the future. Moreover, your father has been fond of literature and martial arts since he was a child, and his health is not good, and his obesity is no longer effective for exercise or dieting, in this world...... When he reaches a certain age, he is afraid that he will linger on the sickbed every day, how to govern these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? ”

"However, with you, all of my worries have been dispelled." Emperor Yongle's tone was full of pride and pride.

"Zhan'er, you know what? The reason why I was able to make up my mind at that time, in addition to the orderly order of the eldest and youngest, and the different limitations of the descendants, is more important is because you have been extremely sensitive and intelligent since you were a child, and over time, you will definitely be able to become a martial artist, and you will be able to have the strengths of both your father and the second uncle, so I and your imperial grandmother love you like a pearl in the palm of your hand. I chose your father, and at the same time I chose the grandson who inherited the unification, so that I don't have to worry about breaking the rules of establishing a successor and establishing a long line, which will lead to future generations of descendants to learn from each other, so that the battle for the throne of my Ming Dynasty will never be peaceful, and I don't have to worry about your father's untimely death, and there will be no successor! ”

"Grandpa Huang—"

Emperor Yongle raised his hand, "I know that it is very difficult for you to talk about your father's body like this, but there are some things that will not happen if you don't turn a blind eye. Your father, the king, is now sitting and breathing, and it is not a blessing for the country to be so weak. ”

"It's a shame." Emperor Yongle sighed, "Fortunately, with you, I can be nurtured by my family, and I can be both civil and military, and realize the emperor's grandfather's unfinished ambition for this Ming dynasty." Ancient and modern reason, take the world with swords, rule the world with benevolence and righteousness, but our Central Plains has been repeatedly humiliated by Yidi, because the previous dynasties treated it with benevolence and righteousness, and suffered more from it; However, years of war have led to the depletion of the treasury and the hard work of the people, which is not a long-term solution. ”

"Therefore, Zhan'er, you have to remember that you must not learn from the Han and Tang Dynasties, at first there was the power to sweep the world, but after three generations, the sword soldiers entered the warehouse, and the generals were disarmed, and they ended up in decline...... However, Yidi still has a few Diao people, but it is not possible to surrender to education, and it is necessary to have strong force to make it subdued, and it also needs to be rich and strong, so that the people's livelihood can be relieved. ”

"Therefore, some of the tricks of your second and third uncles are known to me and even connived at, not only because they are my sons and can't bear to deal with them, but also because, if your father and son can't deal with these things, how can they rule the world in the future? At this point, your father is very good, and he can rule the world with benevolence, and you are also very good, and he attaches equal importance to grace and power. But remember, like you, they have my blood in them, and they have to be forgiving and forgiving, and you must learn from your father. ”

But they are clearly in an undying posture, do they let them go again and again, and give them the opportunity to murder our father and son again and again? Zhu Zhanji has always been unimpressed by his father's excessive generosity, and when he heard Emperor Yongle say this, he couldn't help but slander.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji didn't answer, Emperor Yongle didn't understand what he was thinking, he sighed, "Zhan'er, when the imperial grandfather took over Jianwen's mess, why didn't he want to kill him, it is rumored that I kill people like hemp, but you also know that even if that Fang Xiaoru pities him, he is erudite and strong, knows the scriptures and history, and his articles are world-famous, and he has repeatedly tolerated and punished his ten clans, which is certainly a momentary anger of me, so why not be the burden of his fame and reputation?" Except for him, even if he conspired against a felony crime, I never really exterminated the Nine Clans. ”

"Violent and cruel, the slightest disobedience will be punished heavily, although it can shock the world, but if the courtiers are afraid of this, the capable people and masters can't hide, and there are few people who are willing to go out of the mountain to assist, it is not for the blessing of the king, I killed a group of civil officials who were unwilling to surrender, but for those military generals who had great achievements, it was really preferential, that is, I knew that one kill and one release, Zhang Chi has a way."
