Chapter 3 I Want the Throne, Can I?
"Little brat, what do you say you want?"

In the palace where Zhu Di corrected the memorial and rested.

Zhu Zhangui, Zhu Di, the three brothers, and Zhu Zhanji, who looked enviously at the second brother, sat around a table.

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and looked at Zhu Zhangui who was sipping tea carefully, and the final showdown began.

You little bastard, you dare to show off in front of grandpa. When you get the money later, let's see how I deal with you.

Zhu Pangpang also frowned, "Stinky boy, it's almost enough, believe it or not, I will really slap you."

Zhu Zhangui, who was enjoying a shoulder massage from a beautiful court lady, saw that the old man couldn't bear it anymore, and the old man wanted to beat himself. He reached out and waved the maid back, leaning his elbows on the table, and looked at the old man.

"You tell me how much you want first, and then I will mention my conditions."

Zhu Di waved his hand without hesitation, "I'll give you a small change, it's my grandpa's reward, and I'll hand over the rest."

Zhu Zhangui got up and left when he heard the words.

"You brat, you have to talk about everything, why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing that his son got up and left without even talking, Zhu Pangpang was afraid that Zhu Di would be angry, so he dragged Zhu Zhangui back.

Zhu Zhangui spread his hands.

"Father, it's not that I'm impatient, it's that grandpa is being too ruthless."

Before Zhu Di could refute, Zhu Zhangui cried and complained: "For this money, I have been floating at sea for five or six years. Every day, the wind and sun, strong wind and rain, and from time to time I have to fight the enemy desperately with a blade. Made so much money."

"It turned out that grandpa was fine, and he had to leave at once. How will I live in the future, including my capital." After speaking, he squeezed his nose and wiped it on the tablecloth.

Zhu Di gave Zhu Zhangui a disgusted look, "You little bastard, don't pretend to be pitiful here, I haven't settled with you for the fact that the surrounding countries were robbed by you once. You kid also put on a grievance So, do you know how much thought the imperial court has to spend in order to appease these small foreign countries?"

Speaking of which, Zhu Di was quite speechless.

This second grandson is really cruel.

In order to get more money, they not only pretend to be pirates to rob other countries' merchant ships, but sometimes they also rob other countries.

More than half of the countries that Zheng He traveled along the way were looted by this kid abruptly. Several small countries with a population of tens of thousands were even wiped out directly.

This kid looks cruel and merciless, very much like his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Enough!"

Zhu Zhanji, who was an audience at the side, stared and gave a thumbs up when he heard his grandfather talk about the things his second brother did.

Zhu Zhangui smiled modestly.

"At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I couldn't move when I saw money. This resulted in a one-shot transaction. I regret it now."

Zhu Di, Zhu Pangpang and the others twitched their mouths fiercely.

The kid's tone was that he planned to follow Zheng He the next time he went out.

Well, the surrounding small foreign countries are about to suffer again.

"Okay, brat, don't pretend to be here, how much do you say you are willing to hand over?"

Zhu Zhangui touched his chin, looked at Zhu Di and said, "Is half okay?"

Zhu Di turned his head to the little snot and said: "Go and get all the memorials of those foreign countries, and show them to His Royal Highness the Second Emperor."

Zhu Zhangui's face darkened.

"Four or six can't be less."

Seeing that Zhu Zhangui gave in, Zhu Di showed a smug smile and stretched out a finger.

"nine one!"

Zhu Zhangui stretched out his hand to Little Snot, "Bring me the memorial, I'll see what these bastards are saying, it seems that my attack is still too light."

Zhu Di stretched out his hand to knock off Zhu Zhangui's hand, gritted his teeth, and stretched out two fingers with a look of heartache.

"[-] is my bottom line."

Zhu Zhangui was speechless.

This old man, I don't know, people thought he was sharing his money.

"Little boy, our court is in trouble. We need money to build the Forbidden City, we need money to build the Yongle Grand Ceremony, we need money for Zheng He's fleet to go to sea next time, we need money for the mausoleum of your grandma and me, we need money for disasters in various places, we need money for water conservancy construction, The next time you send troops to the north, you will need money, and you will also need money to repair the armor of the soldiers."

Zhu Di stretched out a finger one by one, telling Zhu Zhangui his suffering with a distressed expression.

"Little boy, grandpa is miserable! In order to save money, grandpa's dragon robe hasn't been replaced for more than a year. Every day is a simple meal, and he doesn't look like an emperor at all. Grandpa is old and can't live for a few years. You Just take pity on me, an old man, and let grandpa live a good life for a few days."

Zhu Zhangui rolled his eyes.

This old man even gave up his face for money.

Don't look at what the old man said was so bitter, in fact, the money that Daming collected was still so-so to support these.

There is no own existence in history, and the financial collapse of the Yongle Dynasty has not been seen.

But then again, the money given to the old man is also building the Ming Dynasty and laying the foundation for his own future.

That's all the old man said, so let's accept it when you see it.

There is endless money in the world. With the existence of space-time mall, it is only a matter of time how much you earn.

"Okay, old man, don't say it so pitifully, but make it sound like I'm not filial."

"Haha, good boy, grandpa didn't love you for nothing."

The money was finally coming down, Zhu Di was very happy, and rubbed Zhu Zhangui's head intimately.

"Don't be happy, old man, I haven't mentioned my business yet."

Zhu Di smiled and nodded.

"Okay, as long as Grandpa has everything, I will give you."

Zhu Zhangui's eyes lit up, and he tentatively asked in a low voice: "The throne, is it okay?"

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly.

The fat on Zhu Pangpang's body shook violently.

Zhu Gaoxu Zhu Gaosui's eyes widened, staring at Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhanji was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, looking at his brave second brother with a pale face.

"Hehe, just kidding, I see you are scared."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Zhu Zhangui laughed and laughed.

Zhu Di also laughed out loud, but the smile was a bit meaningful.

The other four were sweating nervously.

They really frightened them just now. When Zhu Zhangui said that he wanted the throne, Zhu Di's breath was frighteningly cold.

In the memory of several people, this aura only appeared when they invaded the palace and started killing.

"I plan to establish a chamber of commerce and sell my items. I need a group of guards."

Zhu Di nodded and stretched out three fingers.

"I'll give you a quota of 3000 people, and you'll have to prepare your own salaries!"

Zhu Zhangui was overjoyed.

His goal was 1000 people, but he didn't expect the old man to be so generous and give 2000 more people.

"The palace is too boring, I don't want to live in the palace."

Zhu Di pointed to the outside of the imperial city.

"In the entire Yingtian Mansion, you can live in whichever one you like."

Zhu Zhangui looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was thinking about how to ask for money from the old man, saw Zhu Zhangui looking at him, and said angrily, "You don't want my palace, do you?"

Zhu Zhangui stood up and clasped his fists.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Zhu Gaoxu: "..."

Zhu Di looked at the staring Zhu Gaoxu, "Second brother, you should move to another place first, and make room for the brat."

Zhu Gaoxu: "..."

After the house was settled, Zhu Zhangui made the third request.

"I want a private dock for my merchant ships."

"The Tianjin Guard Office plans to build a pier. You want to... take it."

"I also want to build a craftsman's workshop and invite skilled craftsmen from all over the world to make products and sell them to other countries."

"I will issue an imperial decree to you. Anyone you like can be transferred from their hometown. As for whether they will come or not? That's up to you."

"Any more?"

Zhu Zhangui thought for a while, shook his head, and replied with a smile: "I only think of so much for the time being, and my grandson doesn't take advantage of you, grandpa. One request is [-]%. Remember the remaining four first, and wait for me." If there is a need, I will come to you again."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhangui jokingly upon hearing this.

"Are you sure it's four, not five?"

Zhu Zhangui, who was looking happy when he got what he wanted, froze instantly.

Zhu Gaoxu clenched his fists and stared at Zhu Zhangui.
