Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace.

After sacrificing to the Taimiao, Zhu Zhanyan was brought here by his uncle.

Originally, Zhu Zhanyan thought that the old man had something to tell him and his uncle, but what he didn't expect was that Zhu Gaochi, who was the crown prince, was just a leader today.

After taking Zhu Zhanchi to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaochi turned around and left.

"Come in!"

Just when Zhu Zhanyan hesitated, a voice came from the hall, breaking his hesitation.

"The grandson visits the imperial grandfather, and the imperial grandfather bows to Jin'an."

Entering the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zhanyan saluted in a proper manner.

However, this time he did not get a reply from the old man.

Originally, it stands to reason that this sentence is the most common greeting to see the emperor, and under normal circumstances, Zhu Di will also reply with a "Zhen'an", and then you can get to the point.

But today, Zhu Di didn't say a word.

couldn't get the old man's reply, Zhu Zhanyan just knelt on the ground quietly, his forehead against the ground, waiting for the old man's reply.

I don't know how long it took before the old man spoke: "Now, is it already like this when I meet my grandfather?" ”

Zhu Di's voice was very steady, but he could still hear the little trembling that was not well hidden.

Human beings are creatures with complex emotions.

A person will always have multiple roles, take Zhu Di in front of him as an example, he is a father, a grandfather, and an emperor.

Historically, no one has been a perfect political creature, and this has been true of emperors throughout history.

For example, Qin Shi Huang to Fusu and Hu Hai, for example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the crown prince Liu Ju and grandson Liu Xun, such as Tang Taizong to his sons Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

People are not always rational, and emotions are present in everyone, but everyone's triggers are different.

That day, when he was in the Han Palace, Zhu Zhanyan's words turned on Zhu Di's emotional switch.

"Actually, grandpa, you also understand that people will grow up after all." Zhu Zhanyan pressed his forehead against the ground and said sullenly.

"My grandson has grown up, he used to look the way you wanted, but now he is crooked."

"It's the grandson, I'm sorry for the grandfather."

Zhu Di sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and whispered, "Zhen'an." ”

"Grandpa Xie Huang." Only then did Zhu Zhanyan stand up.

Zhu Di beckoned, Xiao Snot quickly stepped forward with a chair, put it behind Zhu Zhanyan, and then left quickly, and took all the palace maids and chamberlains with him by the way.

"Let's talk about it." Zhu Di took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and looked at the grandson in front of him who he felt very strange.

"Prairie and Wako, you choose one, and grandpa will do his best to satisfy you."

From now on, the conversation between the two is no longer between relatives, but has become a confrontation between politicians, an exchange of interests.

It's just that under the special relationship, it is impossible to say whether the decision of the two can be mixed with a little family affection.

Again, people are never pure creatures, and all people are disturbed by different emotions.

"Let's talk about what my grandson wants." Zhu Zhanyan pondered for a long time, and after several deliberations, he opened his mouth to express his thoughts.

"Sun Er hopes that in Yunnan, including the places to the south, Grandpa can send officials to govern, but don't interfere with Sun Er's decision and the Qianning Palace."

"If something is wrong, grandpa can give a holy decree, but if everything is going in a good direction, grandchildren hope that those officials will not interfere."

"Of course, as the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, all the rules will follow the rules of the imperial court, including taxes, bureaucracy and so on."

……

"Okay."

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Di slowly said this word.

This decision is very excessive for the emperor, but it is not difficult for Zhu Di.

From the time he ordered Zhou Xin and the others to stop their preparations to go to Yunnan, he had already decided to let go of Yunnan and hand it over to his second son's family.

Otherwise, you've seen a vassal palace that doesn't have a government official.

Therefore, this decision is not difficult for him, and it can even be said that it has been decided a long time ago, but it was his grandson who proposed it first.

"Grandpa Xie Huang." Zhu Zhanyan didn't get up, but bowed slightly.

"Since the imperial grandfather has agreed, the grandson will also choose one according to the agreement."

"I just don't know, which one does grandpa want his grandson to choose?"

Zhu Di was silent again.

In fact, he has the answers to all these questions in his heart, but he wants his grandson to choose, which is his concession and compensation.

While every choice is difficult, he wants his grandson to choose one he wants.

"That ......" waited for a long time, and seeing that the old man didn't speak, Zhu Zhanyan slowly spoke.

"Sima Fa" once said: Although the country is big, it will die if it is warlike, and it will be dangerous if it forgets to fight."

"There are no pillars growing in the courtyard, and the Taiping Emperor can't do what he says."

"My cousin's experience is still small, and he needs some experience, in comparison, the country of Wa is too far away, not to mention crossing the sea, although the grassland is still difficult to solve, but only the grassland of Warat is still simpler."

"That's why my grandson chose to be a wolf."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanyan stood up.

"Grandson heard that the third uncle is leading a large army to camp in the Great Wall, and I think that the Ming Dynasty is now a little compact."

"My grandson will return to Yunnan in a few days, and when my grandfather is ready, I will ask Anyuan Hou Liusheng to lead the treasure ship, and lead the seafarers corresponding to the number of treasure ships (I don't know what the seafarers were called during the Ming Dynasty) to Jiaozhi."

"At the same time, the grandson will also deal with the matter of Jiaozhi as soon as possible, but this still requires grandpa to help convince Second Uncle Mu and Third Uncle Mu."

"In the future, my grandson will arrange it."

"I don't know...... Does Grandpa have any other requirements? ”

……

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Zhu Di didn't like this kind of purely business-like conversation, but he couldn't help it, because everything was facilitated by him.

"No ......"

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Di's voice was already a little hoarse, but he still opened his mouth and spit out these three words.

Zhu Zhanyan closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I hope grandpa takes care of the Holy Body, grandson ......"

"Retired ......"

After a farewell, no one knows when it will be the day of reunion.

……

Spring and Palace.

This is the second time Zhu Zhanqi has come here, and the last time was the year before last, when he entered the palace to find his uncle Zhu Gaochi.

"Who are you......"

Just when Zhu Zhanyan was standing at the door, staring blankly at the courtyard wall of the East Palace, a girl's voice came from the Chunhe Palace.

Turning his head, a young girl about his age was holding a puppy in her arms, and two were circling around her.

"Zhan Yan?" Before Zhu Zhanyan could speak, another voice sounded, causing the two of them to turn their heads at the same time.

Zhu Zhanji trotted over, with a little excitement on his face: "Why are you here?" ”

"Just met grandpa." Zhu Zhanyan smiled and raised his hand, and lit up the wine jar he was carrying.

"Try it?"

……

There were snowflakes in the sky, and in the Spring and Palace, two teenagers sat on the stone table and stone bench, and a young girl stood next to her curiously, and no one felt cold.

If you want to buy osmanthus and carry wine, it is not the same as a teenager.
