Chapter 4: The Gentleman
Zhou Xin really didn't expect that one day he would follow behind a gentleman, and he didn't expect that this gentleman would still be the prince of Han.
In the end, he didn't expect that the prince of Han would come from Yingtianfu thousands of miles away, and boldly mobilize 8,000 reserve soldiers, and then he would run to walk his dog......
That's right, it's dog walking.
Coupled with the 2,000 people he brought, Zhu Zhanyan asked these 10,000 people to help the people harvest grain from the coastal areas, while he took a few guards into the mountains of Xiushui.
"Why don't you eat a little bit of Rixin?"
Zhu Zhanyan nibbled on a rabbit leg and handed the other hind leg to Zhou Xin.
He also admires this Zhou Xin, he has been following him for almost a decade, and he follows him everywhere, which is really worthy of his name of cold face and cold iron.
Zhou Xin silently took the rabbit hind leg handed by Zhu Zhanyan, but he didn't eat it, but looked at Zhu Zhanyan with a complicated face.
"Your Highness, why are you doing this?" After being silent for a long time, Zhou Xin finally asked the doubts that had been in his heart for the past few days.
"What?" Zhu Zhanyan didn't react at once, because Zhou Xin almost didn't mention anything about official affairs in the past few days.
"Although this blue and white dog is a dog breed used for grazing, because it has the blood of a wolf, it has a bit of ferocity in its nature, and it is no problem to use it for hunting or even guarding."
"The eagles in the cage will only become weak chickens in the end, and only by constantly honing them can they become real hunting dogs, and they can even be used in other aspects."
……
Zhou Xin was choked all of a sudden.
What he wanted to ask was why Zhu Zhanyan came to Jiaxing Mansion, he had to come from Yingtianfu, and he also helped the people in his own name, and even mobilized the reserve army in a big way.
"Since His Royal Highness is here to help the people harvest food, why don't you go to Your Majesty, but come privately and mobilize the Japanese army."
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Xin still decided to make his words clear.
"You should know that even if you are in a hurry, it is not possible to mobilize the reserve army, even if you are the prince of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that you will not be punished when you return to Beijing."
"Oh, you said this......" Zhu Zhanyan was stunned for a moment, but soon tore the rabbit leg in his hand without care.
"I don't care, it's just that the court can't spare a hand now."
"Grandpa Huang's decision to conquer Tatar next year won't you know, right? In this case, it is already good not to recruit soldiers, how can there be spare energy to help these people? ”
"Besides, it was not only Jiaxing Mansion that suffered from the Japanese disaster before, but also the one who conscripted troops to support Annan a few years ago, there are difficulties in various places, who will help first?"
Zhou Xinyan opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say a word.
He knew that there was nothing wrong with Zhu Zhanyan's words.
If you want to say that you have encountered Japanese troubles, Huai'an Mansion, Yangzhou Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture and other places have also suffered from Japanese disasters at the same time as Jiaxing Mansion, and if you want to say that they have been conscripted, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places have also been conscripted.
It is also very difficult for the court to do things, and this bowl of water is uneven.
Besides, just as Zhu Zhanqi said, now the entire Ming Dynasty is preparing for the Yongle Emperor's personal expedition next year, how can there be spare troops to do such a thing?
Yes, there is only a Japanese army, but can it be moved casually?
It can be seen that Zhu Zhanyan is really in a hurry.
"Then Your Highness, aren't you afraid of being punished after returning to Beijing?" Zhou Xin was silent for a long time, and then changed the question.
"Afraid of what?" Zhu Zhanyan threw away the bones that had been gnawed clean, took the handkerchief handed over by Zhu Ling and wiped his mouth, his face full of indifference.
"No matter how I say it, I am also the prince of the Han Dynasty, and what I do is not a bad thing, although the punishment is certain, but it is not serious."
"At most, it's a little bit of flesh and skin, and Dingtian is just going to Yunnan to become a vassal, what else can I do?"
……
Zhou Xin was speechless.
Going to Yunnan to become a vassal domain? It's not that I look down on you, you are a prince of the Han Dynasty, and you are only nine years old, so you really can't talk about the word vassal.
If you really want to say it, it has to be your father's......
!!!
Zhou Xin woke up suddenly, turned his head and looked at Zhu Zhanyan incredulously.
He suddenly found that he seemed to be a little biased, Zhu Zhanyan did this, obviously it was what he saw, but in fact......
I'm afraid it's not for his father, King Han, to go to Yunnan to become a vassal!
Hiss......
Zhou Xin gasped, if this is the case, then the future of this Han prince is ......
He didn't dare to continue thinking about it, if what he thought came true, then the future of Daming would be a bloody storm.
"Thinking too much." Zhu Zhanyan's voice suddenly sounded, making Zhou Xin tremble violently.
"I don't have so much of a mess."
Zhu Zhanyan seemed to say something, but Zhou Xin couldn't grasp it, because Zhu Zhanyan didn't explain, and it sounded as if he hadn't said anything.
In fact, Zhu Zhanyan did guess Zhou Xin's thoughts, but he didn't plan to do what Zhou Xin thought.
The emperor is indeed the lifelong goal of many people, including his father Zhu Gaoxu, but not Zhu Zhanyan.
Forget about other dynasties, even if it is a troubled era, then Zhu Zhanyan also has the courage to fight, but the Ming Dynasty ......
Forget it!
Although the Xiaoice River period has not yet arrived, he can already feel the aftermath emanating from this giant beast, and Zhu Zhanyan does not want to work towards that position at this time.
His own family knows his own affairs, and he knows very well that once he sits in that position, he will definitely be busy in the dark, because he is different from others.
Emperor Xuande can say that "one life is ten thousand lives", but he can't.
If he really wants to sit in that position, he will definitely make a lot of preparations in advance, and even many things that may not be used in a hundred years, but can be useful when the Xiaoice River period arrives.
Too tired!
Is the wine not good? Or is it not fun to walk the dog?
Don't like both? That's fine! Do you like the beauties of the Western Regions? Today's Western Regions are still under the rule of the descendants of the Yuan people! Go over and get some raisins and cantaloupe to eat!
There are not enough beauties in the Western Regions? All right! Do you like the Western European Yanmar or not!? And for Western European Yanmar, there is no need to have the rules of the Han people! You don't have to wait for them to be old and decrepit, you can change them casually!
Isn't this kind of life fragrant?
And according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanyan doesn't have to worry about money at all, because the royal family members of the Ming Dynasty all have "salaries", and they don't have to be afraid of how many births!
As for the emperor's drudgery, let's leave it to his cousin who started the rule of Xuande to worry about it!
How comfortable it was to be a prince in the Ming Dynasty! The ghost wants to be the emperor!
Belch...... But before that, he still has to solve his father's problem first, otherwise he will have to be made into a crockpot chicken with his father!
