My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 634 Proclaiming Emperor?

In order to guard against Zhu Zhanji, the entire fleet was in a state of intense preparedness, so everyone was very tired. Now that they have arrived at Manlajia Port, Zhu Gaoxu also ordered the entire army to rest and recuperate, so that everyone can take a good rest. take a break.

It was not until half a month later that the fleet assembled again, but before leaving, Zhu Zhanhe wanted to see Zhu Gaosui and his son off.

"Uncle Third, have you really decided?"

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhan'an and his son who were about to leave, and still asked uneasily.

"It's decided. I believe he won't dare to do anything to us father and son!"

Zhu Gaosui replied seriously, while Zhu Zhanan next to him hesitated to speak, obviously full of reluctance.

"If you want to leave, leave early. Don't worry, if you follow me to Tianzhu, I won't be able to sleep. Who knows if you will do something to me?"

Zhu Gaoxu said angrily at this time.

Although the real culprit who killed Zhu Gaochi was Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaosui was also ill-intentioned. It can be said that the relationship between the three brothers was almost a mess.

"Second brother, what you said is so hurtful. I am completely sincere to you. When eldest brother gained power, I stood firmly on your side!"

Zhu Gaosui said with an aggrieved expression.

"Don't act in front of me. Don't think that I don't know about your little tricks. It's just that I'm too lazy to expose you!"

Zhu Gaojiu glared at Zhu Gaojiu and said again.

To be honest, Zhu Gaoxu really felt tired. His eldest brother’s family was worried, and his younger brother’s family was even less worried. Thinking about it now, it was fortunate that Zhu Zhanhe let him go to Tianzhu. Otherwise, if he stayed in Daming, he might be beaten by the two brothers. Get screwed to death.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu didn't realize that he was actually not much better than Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui. After all, with his arrogant and domineering temperament, he could find a way to kill himself without being tricked by others.

However, Zhu Gaosui was still his younger brother after all, so Zhu Gaoxu finally sent two warships and found a fleet for him to go to North Korea. It would be safer to go together. When they arrived in Japan, they would contact Zhu Zhanji and let him It was not too late for him to fulfill the promised conditions.

After sending Zhu Gaosui and his son away, Zhu Zhanhe and his fleet also set sail again. After passing through the Malacca Strait, they finally officially entered the Western Ocean, which is what will be later known as the Indian Ocean. Of course, the geographical term India is unlikely to appear again. No, even the name Tianzhu will slowly die out.

"My waist!"

Zhu Yong was lying on the bed, with a doctor behind him massaging him. The pain was so painful that he grinned and screamed in agony.

"Brother Zhu, I have advised you a long time ago that things on the ship are not suitable for you. You should just be in charge of the infantry and cavalry on land!"

Zhang Zhong felt a little want to laugh when he saw Zhu Yong's miserable condition.

After getting on the ship, Zhu Yong saw Zhang Zhong commanding the warship like an arm and a finger. He found it very interesting. Moreover, he felt that he was going to Tianzhu and must master the method of naval warfare, so he asked Zhang Zhong to arrange him on the ship. Start learning the basics of operating a boat.

As a result, just this morning, Zhu Yong was accidentally hoisting the sail and was hit on the waist by a falling hard sail. The injury was not serious, but he sprained a muscle. Now he can only lie down on the bed to rest. Zhang Zhong and Zhu Zhanhe both ran away. Come visit.

"I think what Brother Zhang said makes sense. Tianzhu mainly focuses on land warfare. Next, my father will expand to Central Asia, so Brother Zhu, you don't have to worry about running out of space!"

Zhu Zhanhe also smiled and persuaded at this time.Zhu Gaoxu raided Beijing, and Zhu Yong paid the highest price. Not only did he lose his title, but his whole family also fled in a hurry, taking almost nothing with him except some soft clothes. Almost all the family property accumulated by the Chengguo Palace over the years was thrown into the Ming Dynasty. .

Although Zhu Gaoxu had promised that he would double his compensation to Zhu Yong after arriving in Tianzhu, he still had a sense of crisis and was afraid that if he did not perform well, he would disappoint Zhu Gaoxu. Therefore, he also actively learned some new things during this period. In order to adapt to the situation in Tianzhu.

"Well, maybe I'm really not suitable for staying on a boat. If nothing else, I can only do dog paddles when I get into the water."

Zhu Yong also said helplessly at this time.

"If you can't learn it, don't learn it. You see, I claim to have wiped out the Japanese pirates, but I still can't swim. I sink to the bottom when I get in the water, so don't force yourself too much!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed and used himself as an example.

Hearing his two friends comforting him in this way, Zhu Yong felt much more relaxed. At this time, the massage was over and Zhu Yong felt much more comfortable, so Zhu Zhanhe and Zhang Zhong sat down to chat with him.

"Zhan He, when the prince returns to Tianzhu this time, shouldn't he consider proclaiming himself emperor?"

Zhang Zhong suddenly raised an unexpected topic at this time.

"Isn't it a little early to proclaim yourself emperor?"

Zhu Zhanhe was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he said, after all, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi had just passed away, and it seemed a bit too impatient to proclaim themselves emperor now.

"Actually, it's already late for this matter. You are not in Tianzhu, so you don't know what the civil and military officials in Tianzhu are thinking. Many people have long been looking forward to the prince becoming emperor, so that they can better reward him."

Zhang Zhong said with a solemn expression.

Proclaiming the emperor is not only related to Zhu Gaoxu personally, but also related to the interests of all the civil and military officials under him. Therefore, as early as a few years ago, many civil and military officials in Tianzhu wanted to persuade Zhu Gaoxu to proclaim the emperor, but But they were all rejected by Zhu Gaoxu.

When Zhu Zhanhe heard this, he suddenly remembered that a few years ago, Zhu Gaoxu had broken the rules and awarded titles to his officials as a prince because of the issue of rewards. Originally, according to legal principles, these rewards were invalid, but Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to claim them too early. Emperor, so I can only do this.

"Zhan He, I think the prince should also proclaim himself emperor. After all, Taizong and the late emperor are no longer here, and even Zhu Zhanji has ascended the throne. As an uncle, the prince has established a foundation in Tianzhu, so he is naturally qualified to proclaim himself emperor!"

Zhu Yong also spoke to persuade at this time.

Proclaiming the emperor is not only a matter of title, but also a serious political issue. Only if Zhu Gaoxu proclaims himself emperor, officials under the name of the Han Palace will be rewarded, and they will work harder for Zhu Gaoxu in the future.

In addition, after proclaiming himself emperor, Zhu Gaoxu could also, in his capacity as emperor, reform governance internally, expand territory externally, delineate the territory of the empire, formulate laws, etc. These are all very practical issues.

"What does Yang Changshi think of proclaiming himself emperor?"

Zhu Zhanhe thought for a moment and suddenly asked Zhang Zhong. He wanted to know Yang Shiqi's opinion on this matter.

"I once tested Yang Changshi. He neither agreed nor objected to the matter of proclaiming the emperor. He said that everything depends on the prince's decision. But I can see that Yang Changshi actually prefers that the prince proclaim himself the emperor as soon as possible."

Zhang Zhong replied truthfully.
