My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 856 Zhu Zhanhe is going to Europe

"Zhan He, isn't it a bit too risky for you to do this? After all, the Mediterranean is not peaceful. What if there is an accident along the way? What do you want your mother and I to do?"

In Wuying Hall, Zhu Gaoxu frowned and asked Zhu Zhanhe.

"Father, don't worry. I am protected by the Navy's steam warships on this trip. There is no chance of any accidents. Moreover, the Mediterranean side has been wiped out by Zhang Zhong's navy. Even the Ottoman navy has been wiped out. It is even more impossible. Who can threaten my safety!"

Zhu Zhanhe spoke very confidently.

After the news of Zhang Zhong's annihilation of the Ottoman navy came, Zhu Zhanhe decided to go to the Mediterranean in person. This was not a whim of his, but something that had been planned for a long time. It was just that the time was not ripe before, so he did not Tell anyone.

"But you still want to go to Venice. It's a small foreign country. If you don't keep faith, no one can guarantee what will happen, so I still don't trust you to go!"

Zhu Gaoxu once again said worriedly that although he had many sons, Zhu Zhanhe was his only designated heir to the throne, just like Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son Zhu Biao, so Zhu Gaoxu was worried about letting Zhu Zhanhe go to Europe.

"Father, you think too much. If Venice wants to survive, it still needs to rely on us to contain the Ottomans. They will only try their best to flatter us big men. What's more, I will bring Helen and her son with me this time. Her father is also the governor of Venice, so whether it is No one in Venice dares to do anything bad to me, whether in public or private matters!"

Zhu Zhanhe persuaded again.

Not only is he going to Venice this time, he will also bring Helen mother and son with him, which can be regarded as letting Helen fulfill her wish to go home. Of course, this is just incidental. The reason why Zhu Zhanhe really went to Europe was to see the situation in Europe with his own eyes. Lay the foundation for the Han Dynasty to manage Europe in the future!

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a long time, and finally asked Zhu Zhanhe again in a loose tone: "Have you really thought about it clearly? Do you have to go there in person this time?"

"Father, Europe is our main direction of expansion in the future. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle, so I feel it is necessary to go there in person!"

Zhu Zhanhe also answered very seriously that although he knew some historical situations in Europe and could collect a lot of information about Europe through Jin Yiwei, it was not as clear as what he saw with his own eyes.

Hearing what Zhu Zhanhe said, Zhu Gaoxu hesitated for a long time and finally nodded: "Okay, since you insist on going, I won't stop you, but you must pay attention to safety and deploy more steam battleships to escort you!"

"Thank you for your concern, Father. I will definitely pay attention to it!"

Zhu Zhanhe felt his father's concern and immediately saluted. With Zhu Gaoxu's character, he rarely cared about others, but he was especially worried about Zhu Zhanhe, the eldest son. After all, neither he nor the big man could afford Zhu Zhanhe. An unexpected blow occurred.

After convincing Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanhe finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then discussed with him the government affairs of the DPRK, especially some more important government affairs. Because Zhu Zhanhe was leaving, he needed to hand them over to Zhu Gaoxu.

As a result, Zhu Gaoxu also listened to the top two. Usually he was a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving all government affairs to Zhu Zhanhe. Now that Zhu Zhanhe left, everything fell on him.

Finally, Zhu Zhanhe left Wuying Hall, and as soon as he returned to the East Palace, he saw Helen running forward excitedly and asking: "How are you, husband? Do you agree?"

"Don't worry, my father has been convinced by me. You and Qi Kai get ready. After I mobilize the escort fleet, we will set off to Europe together!" Zhu Zhanhe said with a smile and hugged Helen.

Helen gave birth to a child for him a few years ago, named Zhu Qikai by Zhu Gaoxu. Now Zhu Zhanhe has six children, four boys and two girls. Chang Sining gave birth to two boys and one girl for him, and Sun Ruowei gave birth to a boy and a girl. Daughter, Zhu Qikai is the third son of Zhu Zhanhe.

"Great, we can finally go back!"

Helen screamed in surprise when she heard this, and then hugged Zhu Zhanhe tightly and refused to let go. After all, she had been away from home for so many years. Although she got married and had children with the big man, her longing for her parents grew day by day. Now she finally You can go back.

Zhu Zhanhe could also understand Helen's mood. He hugged her and comforted her a few words softly, which made Helen slowly calm down. Then he trotted to pack her things. After all, she finally went back. Needless to say, several large cars would have to be prepared just for the gifts.

As soon as Helen left, she saw Chang Sining and Sun Ruowei coming hand in hand. In fact, when Sun Ruowei saw Zhu Zhanhe, he immediately complained aggrievedly: "My husband is so partial. He has to go so far in person for Helen!"

"I have said many times that going to Europe is mainly for official business. After all, Europe is our main expansion direction in the future. As the prince, of course I have to go and see the situation there in person so that I can formulate the next plan. Plan, as for taking Helen back, it’s just incidental.”

Zhu Zhanhe explained with a helpless look that he really felt that marrying too many women was not a good thing now. Among the three women around him, Chang Sining still had a character of neither fighting nor grabbing, but even so, sometimes there were still It will give him a headache. For example, Sun Ruowei is particularly jealous.

"Europe is so far away. My husband can send ministers there, so why take the risk yourself? When you leave, my sister and I will be so worried that we can't sleep."

Sun Ruowei said harshly. In fact, she deliberately criticized him because she didn't want Zhu Zhanhe to go to Europe. She was mainly worried about his safety.

"Don't worry. I have just promised my father that I will bring the navy's steam battleships to escort me. With the firepower and speed of our steam battleships, no one can threaten my safety as long as we are at sea. !”

Zhu Zhanhe also understood Sun Ruowei's mood, so he felt soft and explained again.

"Men should not only pay attention to external threats, but also pay attention to their own health. After all, the sea is very rough, and the climate in Europe is definitely different from ours. If you go so far all at once, you must take care of your health. Bring more imperial doctors with you!"

Chang Sining also warned him at this time. She knew that Zhu Zhanhe was going to Europe and there must be a reason why he had to go, so she stopped trying to persuade him.

"I understand that Helen and Qi Kai will go with me. For the safety of their mother and son, I will definitely bring more doctors and medicines. In addition, after I leave, Sining will have to worry about the things in the East Palace. Got it!"

Zhu Zhanhe also whispered to Chang Sining.

His trip to Europe this time could take anywhere from three months to half a year, so he could only leave matters at home to Chang Sining.
