As soon as he walked in, Zhu Zhanji saw several red-clothed officials and ministers, who were gathering in front of the prince's imperial case, and seemed to be discussing things with the prince.

Zhu Zhanji bowed his hand and respectfully saluted the prince: "Prince, I'm back." ”

Yang Shiqi, Jian Yi, and Xia Yuanji also hurriedly turned their heads and saluted to His Royal Highness Taisun: "Meet His Royal Highness Taisun." ”

Zhu Zhanji looked at the three of them and smiled: "You're welcome, get up." ”

Yang Shiqi straightened up, looked at His Royal Highness Taisun with a smile on his face: "In the battle of Yanzhou, Taisun showed his might, and his work was admirable. ”

Jian Yi also laughed: "Taisun, this battle has greatly raised the prestige of the imperial court." ”

Xia Yuanji wanted to speak and stopped, in fact, he wanted to praise the grandson, and then take the opportunity to talk to the grandson about the wedding to see how the grandson reacted.

If you can, let your grandson tell him how he feels about his granddaughter.

If it is feasible, Xia Yuanji wants to facilitate this marriage as soon as possible.

But right now, it seems that the occasion is not quite right, and Xia Yuanji didn't say much.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the prince with a smile: "Prince, what's the matter with me?" ”

The prince smiled faintly: "Taisun, since you are back, if you have anything you want, I will reward you." ”

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No need, there is nothing you want." ”

When the prince heard this, he waved his hand: "Okay, your grandfather will come back soon, let your grandfather personally reward you when the time comes." ”

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he was slightly surprised: "Dad, the old man is out?" ”

The prince bowed his head and said, "Yes, you walk on the front foot, and your grandfather also walks on the back foot." ”

"Outside Datong City, two large armies are stationed, and they were scared away by the old man as soon as he went, and the old man will come back during this time."

What the prince said was light and light, but it was in Zhu Zhanji's ears, but people couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts.

The two armies, before they opened, were scared away by the old man?

Zhu Zhanji's heart swelled with admiration.

Thumbs up and said: "The name of the Yongle Emperor is really not covered. ”

The prince smiled: "These flattering words, you wait for your grandfather to come back and then say it, I came to you today, it's something else." ”

After a pause, the prince looked at the three civil officials: "You guys go back first, I'll talk to the grandson alone." ”

Yang Shiqi, Jian Yi, and Xia Yuanji retired.

After they closed the door of the imperial study, the crown prince looked at the grandson and showed a smile on his face: "Zhanji, when did you come back?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Morning." ”

Zhu Gaochi bent down and took out two small benches from under the imperial case.

One was handed to his son, and the other sat down under him.

Raising his head, the fat prince looked at the tall son who was standing, and smiled with a bodhisattva smile: "Come, son, sit down." ”

"Daddy will talk to you today."

There was a hint of expectation in the eyes of the prince.

It's like an old father, anxious to teach his son's eyes.

Zhu Zhanji sat down honestly and sat on the small bench with the prince, and the two fathers and sons faced each other: "Dad, let's talk." ”

The prince smiled, his eyes were quite kind: "This battle of Yanzhou is Xie Jin's handiwork, right?" ”

Zhu Zhanji's face showed surprise.

The crown prince smiled dumbly: "He is the only one who will use this method of warfare." ”

"You're much rougher than him."

"He gave you the credit?"

The crown prince guessed it, which made Zhu Zhanji slightly surprised and quickly calmed down.

The prince is a smart man, so it's not surprising that he can guess at all.

"Hmm." Zhu Zhanji nodded.

The prince said with a smile: "Xie Jin was a subordinate official of my prince's mansion before, in the ninth year of Yongle, your grandfather wanted to abolish me and replace your second uncle as the prince, but it was Xie Jin who turned the tide and kept your father's crown prince." ”

Zhu Zhanji was silent.

"Xie Jin is kind to our family, repairing the Yongle ceremony, keeping the prince, and now he is your teacher, and he will give you the credit." Zhu Gaochi was silent.

After a pause, Zhu Gaochi said: "I will crown him as the young master of the crown prince, which can be regarded as compensation for him." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded.

Young Master of the Crown Prince, although this title has no real power, it is also an honorary title.

The prince smiled: "They do things for us, we have to give a reward, so that others can see it, only in this way can people be willing to work hard for us and win people's hearts, you know?" ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded: "Understood." ”

It turns out that this is the wisdom of the crown prince?

At this time, in Zhu Zhanji's mind, he remembered a sentence that Zhu Di once said.

"The most powerful person in our Ming Dynasty is the prince."

Grandpa's eyes are spicy, and sure enough, it's true.

In history, in the early stage of the Han Dynasty's rebellion, it was Zhu Gaochi who paved the way for his son, which made Zhu Zhanji successfully ascend the throne.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji is also extremely capable.

The prince nodded his fat head and sighed slightly: "Son, do you know what my father's regrets in this life are?" ”

Zhu Zhanji shook his head.

The prince lowered his head, looked at his big belly, and smiled: "Dad, in this life, I just can't ride a horse and shoot arrows." ”

"It's too poor to work."

"Therefore, the generals are not mixed with their fathers, they dislike their fathers for being lame, and they dislike their fathers for reading sages every day."

Zhu Zhanji was silent, looking at the prince's size, and thought deeply: "Dad, you are indeed quite fat." ”

The prince scolded: "Go, go, this kid ......"

With a wry smile on his face, the prince continued: "In the eyes of the generals, whoever has a big fist and has more military merits, they will be directed towards whomever they want. ”

"So, Dad can't win the support of the generals."

"In the long run, the court will be divided."

"Civilian, military generals, divided into the two major forces of the imperial court, keep fighting, it is a danger to the imperial court."

The prince saw far-reaching and understood.

After ten years of imprisonment, the prince's political vision has already been very ambitious.

Zhu Zhanji bowed: "Not bad." ”

The prince is reasonable, if the civil and military ministers keep dividing into two groups, sooner or later there will be a party dispute.

The word party struggle did not appear in the early Ming Dynasty.

However, it has reached its peak in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the great tomorrow will be destroyed, and party strife is also an important hazard.

The crown prince can now feel the harm of party strife, and his eyes are at least fifty years ahead.

Zhu Zhanji's heart couldn't help but admire this prince a little.

It's really powerful, otherwise the old man wouldn't let him be in charge of the country.

"Dad, what do you think you should do?" Zhu Zhanji asked.

Zhu Gaochi looked at his son with a smile: "You come and talk about it, Dad will come and listen, if what you say is wrong, Dad will guide you." ”

Two days ago, he vomited blood.

Moreover, since that vomiting blood, Zhu Gaochi has felt a deep sense of inadequacy.

The ability to handle government affairs is far less than it used to be.

Therefore, he was a little anxious, eager to teach his son how to survive in this court.

Even if he is the grandson of the emperor, even if he has a noble status, the court is treacherous, and many things are too terrible.

Taisun is still young and has not experienced it yet, so someone needs to teach him so that he will not suffer.

The crown prince is also paving the way for unknown risks.

If, one day, he suddenly dies, the civil officials in the court will face the grandson, but what about the military generals?
