If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Di talked about some other topics afterwards, but they both had a tacit understanding and did not continue talking about the succession of the throne.

Zhu Di already understood Zhu Zhanjun's attitude, and naturally he had a plan in mind. There was no need to really expose everything.

After all, the next generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty is Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanquan are just candidates for the next generation.

Although Zhu Di's attitude is important, in the end, Zhu Gaochi's thoughts and Zhu Zhanji's feelings must be considered.

As Zhu Zhanju said, Zhu Zhanji has been trained as the heir to the throne since he was a child. Even Zhu Gaochi was established as the prince because of the saying "A good saint's grandson can prosper for three generations."

For Zhu Zhanji, becoming an emperor was his lifelong belief and obsession.

Isn't he targeting Zhu Gaoxu, his second uncle, just to remove the obstacles on the way to the throne?

If he really cannot sit on the dragon throne, for Zhu Zhanji, it is no less than saying that his existence is meaningless.

If Zhu Zhanji's endurance was any worse, he might have been decadent in his entire life, and a good person would have been ruined.

But if his endurance is stronger, I am afraid that he will try his best to regain the throne in the future, even if it means causing another crisis.

Zhu Zhanjun could see that his eldest brother was this kind of person, and he could do this kind of thing.

He is not Zhu Gaochi, and he will not choose to compromise or give in for the sake of the overall situation. What he sees in his eyes is more of a short-sighted desire for quick success.

Compared with Zhu Gaochi, who has overseen the country for Zhu Di for more than ten years, Zhu Zhanji still lacks training.

But these are not important matters to Zhu Di. Anyway, Zhu Zhanji is only the next generation emperor after Zhu Gaochi. Now the Ming Dynasty has enough time and enough margin to polish a successor to the throne.

So under such circumstances, Zhu Zhanqi really didn't see much need to fight for the throne.

Of course, if Zhu Di really asked him to succeed, he would not refuse.

For Zhu Zhanjun, who has become an immortal, the so-called freedom no longer means doing whatever he wants, but when he doesn't want to do something, no one can force him to do anything.

He has the freedom to do something, and he also has the freedom not to do something.

It was precisely because of this confidence that he showed that he didn't care about the Ming Dynasty's throne in front of Zhu Di.

--------------

After leaving the palace, Zhu Zhanjun and Meng Qinglin went to the East Palace to meet Zhu Gaochi. Zhang also returned to the Ming Dynasty with them this time, so naturally he wanted to return to the East Palace to live.

It was a novel experience for Zhang after being away from the East Palace for a long time.

If she followed the rules and etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, as the crown princess and future queen, it would be difficult for her to have the opportunity to leave the palace.

Now that she is back, although Mrs. Zhang does not feel dissatisfied, she still has a trace of regret. After all, after this time, it will be difficult for her to have the opportunity to live with Zhu Zhanqun for a long time. .

She was extremely reluctant to part with her son.

In addition to Zhu Zhanchun's intelligence as a child, it was also because of his eight-year sleep.I would like to ask which mother would not feel distressed to see her son become thin and sick after sleeping for eight years?
This feeling of distress turned into a feeling of wanting to make up for a debt after Zhu Zhanchun woke up, making Zhang want to make up for the maternal love that Zhu Zhanchun had lacked in the past eight years.

But in just a few years, what happened was really dizzying, and the Zhang family was completely unable to react. Zhu Zhanquan was already the most powerful vassal king in the Ming Dynasty, and he grew into a first-class leader in the Ming Dynasty. Strong general.

This made her feel disappointed, but also felt a sense of sincere pride.

Both of her sons are very talented, and one is better than the other. Isn't this the most proud thing for a mother?

Just thinking that these two sons are so outstanding, but there will only be one throne in the future, Zhang can't help but feel a little worried, worried that there will be a struggle between her two sons for the throne.

But fortunately, Zhu Zhanchen didn't seem to be interested in this, and he had an attitude of running the vassal state in Japan with peace of mind, which made Zhang feel at ease a lot.

But this also made Zhang feel a little sorry for Zhu Zhanju. After all, everyone could see that Zhu Zhanju was much better than Zhu Zhanji. He was more than one step ahead of Zhu Zhanji in both martial arts and martial arts.

No matter from any aspect, Zhu Zhanyu is more suitable to inherit the throne than Zhu Zhanji.

The only problem may be that he is not the eldest son. According to the tradition of eldest son and younger son, he cannot inherit the throne.

But in terms of talents and abilities, Zhu Zhanjuan is superior to Zhu Zhanji.

This is also the reason why so many people in the court still support Zhu Zhanquan's succession even after he has been crowned king and has gone overseas.

After all, the gap can be seen. These ministers supported Zhu Zhanqi, not only because they wanted to succeed in Conglong, but also because they really hoped that Ming Dynasty could have a good enough heir.

This undoubtedly put Zhang in a dilemma. After all, the palms and backs of her hands were made of flesh, and both of them were her sons. Whoever she supported would hurt the other.

In particular, Mrs. Zhang clearly knows her identity and positioning, and the harem cannot interfere in politics.

So in this matter, even if she was biased towards Zhu Zhanchun, she had no way to express her support, which made her feel even more sorry for Zhu Zhanchun.

Zhu Zhanjun can feel these thoughts of his mother.

However, he didn't say much. He just told Mrs. Zhang that Lan Qier, Li Yue and their children, who were brought back together this time, would stay in the capital and be looked after by Mrs. Zhang.

Although these two children have been cleansed by the I Ching, it would be best for Zhu Zhanjun to take them with him and train them. However, Zhu Zhanjuan himself is not a person who likes to take care of children, and these two children also need to receive better education. By staying in the capital, they can enjoy the best conditions of this era.

Not to mention his own proposal to allow the feudal princes to enter the capital.

Moreover, compared with the city of Nanjing, the Japanese country was a remote and remote area. When Zhu Zhanquan built the palace, the glazed tiles could not be burned locally, but had to be transported from the Ming Dynasty. This shows what the conditions of the Japanese country were like.

Although Zhu Zhanjun has no interest in raising children, he also hopes to give his children the best conditions.

There was another point that he didn't want to say clearly, but everyone knew it, and that was that these two children were actually hostages.

He asked Grandma Zhang to take care of his two children, in fact, just to prevent someone from using his children to make an issue in the future.

Although I am not afraid of these, sometimes it will still be disgusting when I encounter them. (End of chapter)
