Zhu Gaoxu, who didn't get a satisfactory answer from his son, accompanied his son to read the whole script, but Zhu Zhanyan was not interested and didn't say a few more words.

He still has that point of view, his father's sense of smell in politics is not very good, and he is not suitable for competing for the throne.

It would be fine if the other party's strength was on par with him, but obviously not.

In fact, the political struggle is like a war, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu are like the commanders of both sides, and Wenchen is equivalent to a strategist, a commanding general, and a military general......

It's the pawn who charges into battle.

There is no meaning to belittle, because many generals are actually like this, and the way of thinking is relatively simple, charging into battle to obtain military merits is their most accustomed and favorite way to be promoted.

In Zhu Zhan's opinion, his father is now like holding a heavy army, but there is no one to command, and the other party is full of strategists, and there are not many soldiers under his command, but he also has the strength to fight.

Both sides have strengths and weaknesses, and the situation seems to be balanced.

In fact, this is nothing, and Zhu Gaoxu's choice is not necessarily weak, because if things really get out of control in the end, holding heavy troops is the best choice.

But reality is often more complex than planned.

This is like a MOBA game, Zhu Gaochi chose a pre-stage lineup, focusing on operation and access to public resources.

And Zhu Gaoxu chose the big late lineup, focusing on the first battle to determine the situation, either not to play a group, or to push the base directly when the group is played.

But the problem is that the opposite side is full of star players, and you are under the pressure of public opinion all the time during the game, and even have to bear the bias of the referee team and the behavior of power cuts at critical moments.

Yes, this is an unfair competition.

Zhu Zhanyan originally thought that since his father was unwilling to quit, he would exert his strength to make this competition relatively fair.

However, to his surprise, his participation made this already unfair competition even more unfair.

……

It's night, Han Wangfu.

There are few times to enter the city on weekdays, but this time I entered the city and met my father, so Zhu Zhanyan went home with his father.

He is not a busy man, let alone Dayu, there is no need to pass through the door and not enter.

After dinner, leaning on the railing of the backyard garden, looking at the still bright candlelight in his father's study, Zhu Zhanyan was thoughtful.

Suddenly, there was a big piece on his shoulder.

Looking down at the hand that was buttoning himself, Zhu Zhanyan turned his head and realized that it was his mother.

"Mother, have you finished chanting?"

"It's long over." Princess Han smiled softly.

"My son is not wrong, my mother just hopes that the gossip in this world will not affect the judges' decisions, so that my son will suffer the punishment that he should not bear."

"Thank you, mother." Zhu Zhanyan only felt that his throat was blocked.

"What's polite to your mother?" Touching her son's forehead, Princess Han smiled and stood side by side with her son.

"You are a piece of meat that fell from your mother's body, who doesn't feel sorry for you?"

The mother and son are now in the courtyard, and the moon that has passed the fifteenth year is getting more and more broken, but it still does not affect its efforts to send the afterglow of the sun to everything in the world that cannot see the sun for the time being.

"Mother, you say, let's go to Yunnan, okay?"

Zhu Zhanyan suddenly spoke, making Princess Han stunned.

"What's wrong? Don't want to fight? Princess Han touched her son's head, and her face was full of gentle smiles.

"My mother originally thought that you, like your father, were unwilling to be subservient to others, and the words you persuaded your father were just excuses, so they obviously said that they would not fight, but in fact they spared no effort."

"If you think clearly, then make your own decisions, my mother will always support you, no matter what decision you make."

"It's still a mother who understands children." Zhu Zhanyan also smiled when he heard this.

Previously, he had been telling himself that being reborn as the son of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, would be absolutely impossible in the matter of competing for the crown, because he was familiar with history and knew the situation in the early years of Yongle, and he also knew the old man's favoritism towards the prince.

However, he said that he would not fight, but his approach was the opposite.

As his mother said, who is willing to succumb to others when he is born as a human being?

What's more, the historical and scientific knowledge in his mind that no one else knows has always given him a sense of superiority that comes with being reborn.

He has always felt that he can learn if he doesn't understand power and strategy, he doesn't know how to lead soldiers to fight, he has a father who can lead soldiers to fight, how can he be weaker than this group of old antiques who have to buy tickets for a group of graves?

Until now, his mother's brief words have made him recognize his heart and the situation.

He Zhu Zhanyan, saying that he has no desire and no desire, but he has never achieved no desire and no desire; He said that he hated political struggles, but he fell deeper and deeper into them; He said that because of the old man's favoritism, the prince could not be changed, but he kept working hard.

He Zhu Zhanyan, on the surface, seems to be able to see everything, but in fact he has never seen it; He said on the surface that he wanted to be rotten, but he never was; He told himself again and again that it was the last time, but he still had hope that the old man would find him better than his cousin.

He, Zhu Zhanyan, is a fool who has been deceiving himself.

He admonished his father again and again, and the general trend was inviolable, but he himself was deeply trapped in it and could not extricate himself.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanyan raised his head and looked at his mother, and smiled.

"Thank you, mother."

"It's fine." Princess Han's smile was as gentle as ever, she touched her son's head, patted her son's shoulder, and spoke.

"Go ahead."

"Hmm." Zhu Zhanyan nodded, took off the big coat on his shoulder, and put it on his mother with some effort.

"It's cold, my mother is weak, don't suffer from the cold."

With that, he walked towards the study that had been lit up all the time.

Princess Han touched the big dan on her shoulder, looked at her son's still somewhat young back, and smiled silently.

Tuk-tuk.

"What's the matter?" Hearing the knock on the door, Zhu Gaoxu frowned very unhappily.

Generally speaking, it is rare for anyone to disturb him when he is receiving others, because this is a taboo in the Han Palace.

After all, what he Han Wang did was to compete for the crown, and there were many things that not just anyone could listen to.

"Dad, it's me."

"Come in." Hearing his son's voice, Zhu Gaoxu frowned slightly.

"Xu Heng has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Seeing Zhu Zhan Yan push the door in, Xing'an Bo Xu Heng hurriedly greeted him.

"Hmm." Zhu Zhanyan nodded, but there was no follow-up, just standing there.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu said, "Xu Heng, you go back first, and I'll look for you tomorrow."

"Yes."

When Xu Heng heard this, he saluted Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanyan respectively, then exited the study and closed the door with him.

"Dad, let's go."

As soon as Xu Heng left, Zhu Zhanyan spoke.

And his opening made Zhu Gaoxu stunned.
