Zhu Zhanyan was sent out of the palace in a daze, and he didn't come to his senses until his personal guard appeared in front of him.

Damn! I'm being used as a gun!?

It turned out that Zhu Zhanyan was still confused, because he was blinded by the old man's set of reverse operations.

You must know that although Zhu Zhanyan was in a hurry to follow the power and mobilized the reserve army in order to grab food for the people, the problem is that the Ming Dynasty only encountered the Japanese disaster this year.

is the so-called lesson from the previous car and the division of the rear car, even if you throw this matter to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, he will not dare to casually mobilize the reserve army at this juncture.

The reason is very simple, the old man used Liu Shengwei as the general to repel the Japanese invaders, and the results of killing a lot of Japanese robbers gave Daming a lot of morale.

Therefore, although Zhu Zhanyan will not be severely punished in the end because of his identity as the prince of Han, the punishment of acting is inevitable.

But now it's good!

Not only did the old man not punish him, but he also handed over the grain harvesting work in Zhejiang to him, and only gave him 20,000 people!

20,000 people, it seems like a lot, at least twice as many as the 2,000 people that Zhu Zhanyan had forced together at the beginning plus the 8,000 reserve Japanese troops who were mobilized privately, but that's not how things matter!

In the past, he was spontaneous and could do as much as he could, but now it has become a task!

And that's not all!

At the beginning, he just wanted to help Jiaxing Mansion get it out, because Jiaxing Mansion was both close to the sea and was conscripted, which was the kind that made matters worse.

But now, the old man asked him to do it directly in the form of dispatch, and the place in charge is no longer Jiaxing Mansion, but Jiaxing, Songjiang and Yangzhou Mansions!

Does it look okay? The number of missions has tripled, but the number of people has also doubled?

!

The place of Jiaxing Mansion is not big, Songjiang Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion are not too much, this is nothing, but the problem lies in Yangzhou Mansion.

Yangzhou Mansion has more area than Jiaxing Mansion and Songjiang Mansion combined!

20,000 people, four times the original task, Zhu Zhanyan even suspected that the old man was specifically using him to vent his anger!

However, Zhu Zhanyan only dared to think about it like this, and he also knew that the old man wanted to use his personal affairs to do business.

After all, the old man's royal expedition next year is already a sure thing, and it will not work without some preparation.

The emperor drove the expedition in person, this matter is not without precedent, but in the end, the effect is only a few hands, and the controversy must be very big, which is still under normal circumstances.

Is Daming considered normal now? Apparently not.

The compilation of the Yongle Grand Canon, the construction of the Shuntian Mansion, and the support for Zheng He's ocean, these three things are things that cost money and delay time.

In addition, Da Ming is now sending Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng to conquer Annan, there is a problem of Japanese robbers in the east, and there are seven guards in the west, and they have to use food and money everywhere.

If you don't save a little, the resistance of the old man's personal expedition is quite large.

At this time, Zhu Zhanyan happened to hit the muzzle!

"Alas...... What's this called......"

Zhu Zhan lowered his head in despair and let out a long sigh.

……

Outside Yingtian City, a Zhuangzi that looked ordinary was surrounded by people at nightfall.

"Little bunny! Get out of here! ”

Zhu Gaoxu strode into this Zhuangzi with an expression full of hatred on his face, because his eldest son, Zhu Zhanyan, lives here today.

That's right, just today.

The nine-year-old son of the Han Dynasty is not an adult even by the standards of this era, and he naturally has to live with his parents before he becomes an adult.

But Zhu Zhanyan knew very well that he couldn't go home today, otherwise what was waiting for him would be a stinking scolding from his father, so after leaving the palace, he hid in the village where he usually used to raise dogs.

He originally thought that as long as it was time for the curfew, it would be safe, at least he could hide today, and he couldn't go to Zhejiang early tomorrow morning on the orders of the old man.

You must know that curfew is an iron law of this era, and even the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty has to be a little scrupulous.

But I never thought that before the curfew, my father would come to the door!

"Little bunny! Don't hide! Can you survive today, and can you survive the future!? ”

Looking at Zhuangzi who was silent, Zhu Gaoxu shouted angrily.

He dared to rush through the door, because the yard was full of blue and white dogs raised by his rabbit cub.

It's not that he's afraid of dogs, it's really because this thing is so fierce that everyone dares to bite it except Zhu Ling, who feeds them, and their owner, Zhu Zhanyan!

"Dad, why are you here?"

Zhu Zhanyan, who had just heard the shout, walked out in pajamas, rubbing his eyes and looking like he hadn't woken up.

"I'm still pretending to be garlic with you!?" When his son walked in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu unceremoniously threw a brain scoop directly.

"You're not a little timid!? Even if you run out of Yingtian without permission, you dare to mobilize the reserve army!? ”

"Why are you so angry...... Zhu Zhanyan saw that his father was angry, and hurriedly smiled and comforted.

"Grandpa didn't say anything......"

"How dare you say that!?" It's good that Zhu Zhanyu didn't mention it, but at this mention, Zhu Gaoxu was even more angry.

"Look at the task your grandfather gave you! 20,000 people, three prefectures! Can you make it!? ”

……

Although he had long thought that his father would ask this, Zhu Zhanyan was still speechless when his father really asked.

Do you still want to compete for the throne with your political sense?

"Dad, I'll tell you something......" Zhu Zhanyan hesitated for a moment, and said with a little hesitation.

"Say!" Zhu Gaoxu was very angry, because in his opinion, his son had disrupted his plan and made himself weak in front of the boss.

Obviously, this time he could take advantage of Qiu Fu's defeat to suppress the boss, but now the opportunity is gone!

"Dad, or you don't have to fight with your uncle, you're really not an opponent......"

Syllable!

Before Zhu Zhanyan's words were finished, he was greeted by another brain.

Zhu Gaoxu only felt that the anger in his chest was a little fiercer: "When will it be your kid's turn to educate me!?" ”

"Originally...... Zhu Zhanyan rubbed the back of his head, looking aggrieved.

"Grandpa seems to have given me an impossible task, but no matter how I say it, I am also a member of the royal family, even if I can't complete it, can grandpa punish me for a nine-year-old child......"

……

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this.

His political sense is indeed very poor, but this does not mean that he is pure stupid, he is just slow to react, and there are no good strategists around him to remind him.

Although this tiger father may have a dog, the dog is still a dog no matter how many times, at least he is not a weak chicken.
