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

Chapter 6 Emperor's Award
In fact, although Zhu Zhanjun didn't have many Zhu Guo in his hand, there were still dozens of them.

Although a red fruit tree only bears fruit once every 50 years, it can bear 33 fruits every time it matures.

Moreover, Zhu Zhanjun transplanted not only one red fruit tree in Dongtian Gourd, but he deliberately staggered the maturity time of each red fruit tree when transplanting it, so that he would not have to wait 50 years each time.

However, this kind of thing should not be too eye-catching. Just take a few out and share it with your family members. It is better to keep more to combine medicine and make elixirs. It is the best choice to maximize the effect without being eye-catching.

So Zhu Zhanjun only prepared two red fruits at the beginning. The one Zhu Gaochi ate was the one Zhu Zhanjun planned to eat himself.

But it's pretty much the same. Dongtian Gourd has accumulated a lot of these spiritual fruits and herbs over hundreds of years. They have all been processed by the puppets and stored in the warehouse. If you need anything, just go to the warehouse and get it.

Because the warehouse where these spiritual objects are stored needs to be opened frequently to store new things, the puppets can open the restrictions, which is also convenient for Zhu Zhanjun to access, without having to cultivate enough cultivation like the restrictions in the alchemy room. to open.

Thinking about what elixirs could be made with the red fruits later, Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Gaochi were eating breakfast together, when a voice announcing an edict suddenly came from outside: "The imperial edict has arrived! Pass the emperor's oral message!"

Hearing the sound, Zhu Gaochi quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and pulled Zhu Zhanjun out to greet him. When he came to the yard and saw the eunuch who came to deliver the order, he pulled Zhu Zhanjun to kneel down.

"Holy greetings!" According to etiquette rules, Zhu Zhanjun and Zhu Gaochi shouted together.

Upon seeing this, the eunuch who delivered the order also responded with a "Holy Gong'an" and then began to read Zhu Di's oral instructions: "During the Northern Expedition, the Crown Prince worked hard and made great achievements in supervising the country. I was very tired. Now I have returned to the court after a great victory, and the emperor's grandson wakes up again. The prince is specially exempted from the post of superintendent of the country in order to enjoy family harmony.

In addition, I will give the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanjun three sets of ancient books, a set of four treasures in the study, ten palace maids, a millennium ginseng, a millennium Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal materials. I will order an imperial doctor to take care of his body. I hope that the emperor's grandson will recover soon and stay with me. During the Northern Expedition, the wolf was given the title of Xu, and Shi Yanran was restrained.

In addition, the prince has sent all the memorials approved during his supervision to the imperial court for the holy viewing. I admire this. "

Usually the emperor's oral edicts are not so formal, but this oral edict not only rewards the emperor's grandson, but also relieves Prince Zhu Gaochi from his duty to supervise the country. This is a very formal event, so even the oral edict is in the form of a formal imperial edict. Format.

However, Zhu Gaochi could still understand the previous sentences. The emperor needed to return the power of supervising the country to the prince. This was all expected.

Even if the emperor did not issue the decree, Zhu Gaochi planned to resign himself.

But what surprised him was that the emperor actually wanted to see the memorials he had approved while supervising the country, which made him feel a little uneasy and uneasy.

This is like a leader inspecting work. Even if he does a good job, he still has a drum in his heart, let alone the emperor inspecting government affairs.

If there was anything the emperor was dissatisfied with, even the prince would not be able to escape the blame.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Gaochi suddenly forgot to accept the decree. This surprised the eunuch who came to announce the decree and could only whisper: "Prince?"

"Dad, thank you for the order." Seeing this, Zhu Zhanjun hurriedly pulled the fat dad and reminded him.

Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses, and after receiving the order to express his gratitude, he stood up with some difficulty with Zhu Zhanjun's support, and said to the eunuch who announced the order: "Thank you for announcing the order, please report back to the emperor. There are too many memorials accumulated in the East Palace. Please return to the emperor." Give me a few days of grace and let me sort it out before sending it to the imperial court." Zhu Gaochi said this just to buy himself some time to sort out the government affairs he handled during his supervision of the country, and to put an end to his first supervision of the country.

However, the eunuch said to Zhu Gaochi: "I don't need you to worry about it, Prince. The memorial has been moved. The emperor has said that Prince, you and His Majesty the Emperor can rest assured and cultivate themselves."

After saying that, the eunuch who announced the decree planned to leave and did not intend to ask for a reward. Everyone in the palace and outside the palace knew that the prince's east palace had no money, and the palace people did not have any extra rewards, which was far less generous than the king of Han.

At this time, before Zhu Gaochi could react, Zhu Zhanjun had already stopped the eunuch who was announcing the decree, took out a red gem and threw it to him: "My father-in-law has worked hard to announce the decree. It's a little gadget for my father-in-law to drink tea with."

The eunuch in the palace certainly had good eyesight, and he estimated the value of this gem in his heart. He immediately put on a smile and said politely to Zhu Zhanjun: "His Royal Highness is generously rewarded, and I deserve it!"

But even as he said this, the eunuch's hands quickly stuffed the gem into his pocket.

Zhu Zhanjun didn't care, and just asked him: "How did the emperor feel when he gave the oral instructions? Did he say anything?"

"The emperor is in a good mood, but he didn't say anything else." After receiving the reward, the eunuch naturally answered all questions.

Zhu Zhanjun nodded and let the eunuch leave without asking any more questions.

After the eunuch left, Zhu Zhanjun said to Zhu Gaochi: "Dad, don't worry about it. I guess grandpa just wants to see how you handle government affairs. He has no other meaning."

When Zhu Gaochi heard what his son said, he shook his head and said with a bitter look on his face: "Son, you don't understand. Your grandfather doesn't trust me! He doesn't trust me! He went on the Northern Expedition while I supervised the country. I was exhausted from all the hard work." Damn it, he still doesn’t believe me! I knew that he liked the second child, and said, ‘The prince is very sick, you should encourage him’ because he wanted to pass the crown prince’s position to the second child!”

As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi burst into tears as if he had an emotional breakdown, and even sat down on the ground.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanjun shook his head helplessly, and hurriedly called for someone to come over and help the fat dad up, and comforted him: "Dad, you think too much. If grandpa doesn't believe you, can you let the prince supervise the country? Don't think so much. Now, during this time, Dad, just rest well and take good care of yourself with me."

After spending a lot of energy, Zhu Zhanjun calmed down Zhu Gaochi who was emotionally broken, helped him into the room and sat down again.

"By the way, where is my eldest brother? What has he been busy with these years?" As he continued to eat breakfast, Zhu Zhanjun couldn't help but ask about his eldest brother who promoted the establishment of the emperor.

"Don't mention it, your eldest brother doesn't know what he's been doing lately. He's been away from home all day long, and he's renting a house outside while leaving his good friend Dong Gong. I don't know what he wants to do! Zhan Jun, you can't learn from him. This brat was spoiled by your grandfather." Speaking of his eldest son Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaochi looked uncomfortable again, wondering what Zhu Zhanji was up to.

Hearing what Zhu Gaochi said, Zhu Zhanjun could only shake his head and said, "Okay, I will talk to my elder brother later and ask him what he is doing."

Having said this, Zhu Zhanjun did not forget to tell the fat father: "Dad, after you finish eating, go to the palace quickly, give the Zhu Guo to grandpa, help me and ask him to get me a Jin Yiwei token, I have something to check. .”

"Why do we need to use Jinyiwei to check?" Zhu Gaochi felt confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just finished breakfast quickly and went to find the emperor.
