Chapter 347: Palace Night Talk
What is there to consider? Zhu Gaoxu didn't know.
It stands to reason that Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanrong are indeed a thunder buried deep in the ground and don't know when it will explode, and now their son is willing to sacrifice, and it is the best choice to dispose of it.
Brilliance is indeed very disgraceful, but among the people who can sit in that position in this world, how many people have a bright and upright life?
Now, these two vassal kings are not in power, and the fiefs have not gone, and the only ones who can protect them are the Empress Dowager Zhang and the Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji.
Emperor Xuande won't say anything, he is now a puppet, not only can't speak, but he can't even get out of the door.
As for the Empress Dowager Zhang......
Indeed, if the Zhang family is not satisfied, she can still gather a group of people to oppose King Wu's lineage, but in the final analysis, she is just a woman, and the trend is ......
is still the same sentence, no matter whether King Wu is on the throne or not, his strength is to crush the imperial court.
The imperial court cannot do without King Wu, but it is not that King Wu cannot do without the imperial court.
"I'll think about it again." Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son, and finally adopted the almighty procrastination trick.
"That'...... You still have to get ...... as soon as possible" Zhu Zhantan coughed twice and bowed slightly.
"Child's time...... Not too much......"
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this.
Yes, there is indeed not much time left for Zhu Zhantan.
Zhu Zhantan's health is not good by nature, almost everyone knows this, and Zhu Gaoxu, the father, naturally knows it.
After entering Shuntian, the first thing Zhu Zhan Yan did was to stabilize the situation, and when the situation was completely controlled, he sent someone to take the imperial doctor south and went to Yingtian, in order to treat this younger brother.
Later, Zhu Zhantan entered Beijing, and all the imperial doctors in the palace went to see it together, but the result was still the same.
Congenital deficiencies, there is no way, and they can't make up for it, because no one knows what to use.
"Daddy? Where's my third brother? ”
Not long after Zhu Zhantan left, Zhu Zhantan returned, looking at his father who was bowing his head and contemplating with a confused expression.
"The third brother said that my mother was looking for me, but I went, and my mother didn't look for me......"
"Zhan Yuan, come here." Zhu Gaoxu sighed lightly when he heard this, and beckoned.
Zhu Zhanyan was a little unsure, but he still walked over.
"Daddy asks you, ...... you Want ......"
When the words came to his lips, it was a logical thing, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what to say.
However, fortunately, Zhu Zhanqiao is smart.
"Dad, did the third brother tell you something?" Zhu Zhanyan frowned.
Looking at his father's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and then thinking of his third brother's abnormal behavior and his mother's lack of looking for him, Zhu Zhanyan had already guessed that his third brother might not have come over just now to inform him.
Even...... There are some things that are not easy to say in front of me, and I have told my father.
"Nope." Zhu Gaoxu knew that his son had guessed something, but he still shook his head.
"You also know the situation of our family, now it can be said that we have reached the top, if you want to go further, then there is only that position."
"However, since the death of your grandfather and your uncle, I have no thoughts, and your eldest brother has such a reputation, although it is for the sake of Da Ming that he has such a reputation, but the officials and people of the world will not recognize it."
"Your second brother is a concubine, not to mention that there are many people who will oppose our family, let's just say that no one opposes it, and your second brother's status as a concubine is also a problem."
"Other than that, your third brother's body ......"
Speaking of this, Zhu Gaoxu sighed lightly, patted his son's shoulder, and asked earnestly.
"So, if you really want to go further, then it can only be you, but this is not a trivial matter, Dad thinks you should at least know."
"Daddy......" Zhu Zhanyao laughed when he heard this, and he smiled very relieved.
"Say, 'Why?'
……
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this, and his son's answer caught him off guard.
Why?
Zhu Gaoxu didn't think about this question, because he always felt that this was a matter of course, so many people in his family worked so hard, isn't this why?
But why?
What did Zhu Zhan Yan do? It's as if he hadn't done anything.
Seeing his father bow his head and ponder, Zhu Zhan smiled and began to explain, with a full sense of ease in his tone.
"You think, our family, to get to this point, the first thing to rely on is your father's identity."
"If we don't have the identity of the son of Emperor Taizong, let alone the future, we won't even have the current height, how can we talk about the future?"
"The second and biggest reliance is naturally the big brother."
"In fact, everyone in our family knows that if you lead troops to fight, then naturally there is nothing to say, when your grandfather was in trouble, you saved your grandfather from danger three times, but you are really not good at politics."
"Think about it, although the child was young back then, I still remember that when I was in Yingtianfu, it was the eldest brother who advised you not to fight, and only the eldest brother saw it most clearly at that time."
"Later, our family went to Yunnan to become a vassal, and it was the eldest brother who fought everywhere, from Annam to the Wa Kingdom, from the Wa Kingdom to Siam, and then to the Delhi Sultan, the Timurid Empire, ......"
"Please forgive the child for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, in our family, it doesn't really make much difference whether you have it or not, but if you don't have a big brother, it's really not good."
"But what about me? I didn't do anything, but I was trained by my eldest brother almost to the best of his ability, and after my eldest brother left, I did what only emperors and princes could do. ”
"I just didn't do anything and was favored, although he was my eldest brother, but the child still wanted to ask."
"Why, child?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the fourth son in front of him, and he had mixed feelings for a while.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't have any special feelings about his son and said that he couldn't do it mercilessly, not even the slightest bit of unhappiness, because he knew about it himself.
However, looking at his son who lived so transparently, Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what to say for a while.
"Daddy." Zhu Zhanyan looked at his father in front of him and spoke slowly.
"This throne, the eldest brother said that he was not interested, I believe it, because he could stay in Shuntian, but he still chose to leave and work hard for the future of Daming and our future."
"I won't hide it from you, this throne, I'm interested, after all, it's the highest position that mortals in the world can reach, and how many people are not interested?"
"But what is set in front of the child now is not the same as what the child thinks."
"In the face of the eldest brother, I am not qualified, and even the second brother you said will definitely not have a chance, I am not qualified."
