Chapter 31: What Is This?

"Hmm......" I don't know how long it took, Zhu Di stroked his beard and looked at Zhu Zhanji in front of him, and stretched out his hand to summon Zhu Zhanji over.

"Junki, come here."

"Your cousin said you should also get married, what do you say?"

Zhu Zhanji is only eleven years old this year, and he is still a virtual age, and he is also a serious little Zhengtai, and he does not have so many fancy intestines, and he is even more shy when he talks about this matter.

"Grandson, but grandfather is in charge."

"Hahaha!" Zhu Di laughed out loud, holding a grandson in one hand, with a loving smile on his face.

"That's good! Grandpa turned around and instructed the Ministry of Rites to start preparing! When you come back from your grandfather's northern expedition, I will start choosing a concubine for you! ”

!!!

Zhu Di's words undoubtedly dropped a bomb at this calm Chinese New Year's Eve dinner...... No! It should be said that it is a nuclear bomb!

Choosing a concubine is a trivial matter, and it is nothing to choose a concubine for the prince of Han and the eldest grandson of the emperor at the same time, and the most important thing is the sentence that Zhu Di said, "Wait for you to come back with your grandfather's northern expedition".

What does that mean?

It's okay to take the emperor's grandson to the north, after all, Zhu Di also took him with him during his northern tour this year, obviously wanting to cultivate and experience it, so that he can take over.

But to bring to the battlefield? And you also want to bring Zhu Zhanyu, the son of the Han king?

"Daddy!" Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi was the first to sit still.

"How can this be ......?"

"Daddy! You are so wise! Before Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, his younger brother Zhu Gaochu stood up and interrupted him.

"Before, Zhan Yan told Erchen that 'there are no pillars growing in the courtyard', so Erchen asked him to go around Zhejiang to see what the world is like."

"I think that our Taizu Emperor Gao was born in a small way, but he overthrew the tyranny of the Northern Yuan Dynasty all the way, and returned the Han people, although the descendants of later generations do not have to go to the battlefield and risk the arrows and stones, they always have to know what it is like, right?"

"Er, you're confused!" Zhu Gaochi, who is rarely angry and angry, lacked and diluted mud this time, and did not flinch.

"Zhan Ji is okay, he has seen the world more or less, but how can Zhan Ji go to the battlefield? What would you do if there were three longs and two shorts? How old is Zhan Qi!? ”

……

Zhu Zhanyan was a little stunned for a while.

In the past, he knew that he was benevolent, and he also knew that this historical Akihito sect had some thoughts and means, otherwise he would not be able to sit in that position unharmed under the joint efforts of his two younger brothers.

But what's going on here? Is this uncle feeling sorry for himself? Or is it that if you are afraid that you will go to the battlefield, you may improve your father's right to speak, and now you are preventing it in advance?

Zhu Zhanyan, who has always prided himself on understanding the situation, was also blindfolded, and he found that he was still too tender.

It is not wrong to know history, and it is not wrong to be able to put forward all kinds of strategies that are far ahead of the times, but in this era, the basic thing is to be able to stand tall in the political whirlpool of playing with people's hearts.

In this regard, he is still too far behind, and the little workplace experience in later generations is useful, but it is really not enough in front of these people.

"That's it!" In the end, it was the old man who spoke, interrupting the brothers' red-faced argument.

"These two kids aren't as tall as a horse's legs, can I take them to battle? I look that stupid!? ”

"To let them accompany them on the northern expedition is to let them see the world and see what it is like along the way! Who said to let them go to war!? ”

"When did Da Ming get to the point where he was still a child's grandson to go to the battlefield!?"

The old man scolded angrily, scolding Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu so much that they couldn't speak.

Zhu Gaochi had nothing to say.

It is true that the princes and grandsons cannot leave Beijing when they are idle, but education is also necessary, otherwise the future monarch of the Ming Dynasty will be selected from those canaries in the deep palace?

Unlike his eldest brother, Zhu Gaoxu doesn't need to say anything.

Zhu Zhanyan was able to accompany the northern expedition, which in his opinion was equivalent to putting himself and the boss on the same starting line.

He never felt that he was worse than the boss, he always felt that he was the most serious contender for the crown prince, otherwise he would not have been competing with his eldest brother all the time.

He is about the same as the boss, but the old man values Zhu Zhanji, the eldest grandson of the emperor, so Zhu Gaoxu has always thought that he has lost to the child, and Zhu Zhanji, who was frail and sick a few years ago, was too unpopular with the old man.

But now, the old man wants to take Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanji to the north together, doesn't that mean that these two children are also standing on the same starting line?

There are no advantages, but there are no disadvantages, which is already a small step forward for Zhu Gaoxu.

Unlike Zhu Gaoxu's happiness, the old man's interest became low, because the quarrel between the two sons affected his mood very much.

Sullen, he returned to his dragon chair.

ended without a problem, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu also returned to their respective seats with their sons, but after this little farce, there was a little more in the eyes of the civil and military officials.

It seems that it is time for them to change a little bit in the future.

……

After midnight, Zhu Zhanyan followed his father back to the Han Palace.

It stands to reason that Zhu Zhan Yan is still in the ground, and he should return to Zhuangzi, but after midnight, there has already been a curfew outside.

Although the relationship between the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was somewhat relaxed, it was only within the imperial city, and Zhuangzi was outside the city, and he couldn't get out.

Back at the Han Palace, Zhu Gaoxu originally wanted to say something to his son, but hesitated for a while, and finally did not speak.

Early the next morning.

Because there was no noise from the dogs, Zhu Zhanyan slept very comfortably, and even slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.

"Mother?"

Zhu Zhanyan, who had just dressed and opened the door with his eyes rubbed, saw his mother at first sight.

"Up?" Princess Wei got up with a smile and shook the falling snow on her body.

"My mother asked someone to prepare breakfast for you, which you love to eat, but when I saw that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't wake you up, so my mother asked someone to warm it up for you."

"No need mother." Zhu Zhanyan hurriedly grabbed his mother.

"Children don't pay attention to these things, just eat some."

"Mother knows." Princess Han patted her son lovingly and held her hand.

As the saying goes, "women are weak, mothers are strong", in the past, the princess of Han was basically in a state of indisputability, and rarely fought for anything, but in the past two months, she has quarreled with the king of Han.

The reason is her son.

King Han is a violent temper, if it was in the past, Princess Han would definitely not have nothing to do, after all, King Han's concubine Guo is considered a precedent.

However, it may be because of Zhu Zhanyu, Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything this time, and even went to the palace by Princess Han to plead with the crown princess.

Of course, it doesn't work much.

Originally, Princess Han already felt that her son was pitiful enough, but as soon as she came back last night, she heard that the old man was going to take her son to the north.

At that moment, she was like an ice cave.
