King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

The dock was filled with endless cheers.

Even the thick-skinned and shameless Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. His originally resolute cheeks turned slightly red, and he didn't know how to respond.

But I'm sorry.

But in terms of his true inner feelings and true intentions, it made Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui extremely happy and comfortable, especially when those civil officials who had never spoken highly of him in the past now complimented and congratulated him.

At this moment, his vanity was greatly satisfied, making him feel a little elated.

Seeing this, the Crown Prince and Zhu Gaoxu, who were standing aside, took the situation into consideration, but did not interrupt or say anything at this moment, allowing Zhu Gaosui to enjoy and feel it quietly.

After all, he traveled thousands of miles to conquer Japan, expanded the territory for the Ming Dynasty, completely eliminated the threat of Japan harassing the border, and brought back enough silver. Although these preliminary preparations were planned by the Crown Prince and Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui was just an executor.

But this cannot erase the merits that others should have. After all, others are fighting for their lives out there, and they are truly risking their lives.

Moreover, when Zhu Gaosui got off the warship and came closer, they both could see several hideous scars on Zhu Gaosui's face and hands left by bruises. It is conceivable how tragic the battle was when Zhu Gaosui was on an expedition to Japan.

After all, as the commander-in-chief and backbone of an army of hundreds of thousands, he did not personally sit in the center, but had already gone into the battlefield to kill the enemy. If he had not been forced into a desperate situation, far away from his homeland, carrying the hopes of the Ming court and the lives and property of hundreds of thousands of troops on his shoulders, I think even if Zhu Gaosui had no brains, he would never do such a thing, and he would never be so impulsive.

That's it.

After a long while, when the voices of compliments and congratulations on the dock gradually died down, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi spoke:
"Lao San"

"Right now, do you have anything to arrange at the dock?"

"If there is nothing else, we will leave first and let them handle the rest. As for the specific battle situation and report, wait until you have a good rest. How about you give everyone a detailed report in the court tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaosui came back to his senses, frowned and pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at the soldiers who were getting off the boat in an orderly manner behind him and followed him to the Japanese mainland, and asked in a deep voice:
"Boss and Second"

"This time, we and a group of soldiers have traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to expedition to the Japanese mainland."

"The days when you are wandering outside are simply not the days of a human being."

"We have been away from home for such a long time and haven't had a good meal. Many soldiers really miss the food in the Ming Dynasty."

"It's not easy to get back to Kyoto."

"Before we returned, we promised these soldiers that we would give them a good meal when we returned to Kyoto. I wonder if you have prepared food in advance?"

"If you haven't prepared anything yet, order someone to prepare it quickly."

"As for other matters, I don't have anything to say. You two can just make the arrangements for the rest."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other, and couldn't help but look sideways. The look they gave Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but change, and then they looked at the soldiers who were getting off the boat in an orderly manner behind them, and they were indeed a little surprised.

To tell the truth.

Neither of them had expected that Zhu Gaosui could actually speak like that, and that such words could come out of this bastard's mouth.

You have to know that Zhu Gaosui has never acted like this before. His character has always been to use people as his assistants and not put them behind others.

If nothing unexpected happens, a lot of things must have happened and a lot of things must have happened during this expedition to Japan, which forced the once relatively selfish King Zhao Zhu Gaosui to make such a change!
However, such a change should be considered a good thing for Zhu Gaosui. After all, according to the normal development of events, he would need to leave the Ming Dynasty and go to another place to find another way out and become emperor.

If you can't change this habit, your horizons won't be broadened, and you remain selfish.

To tell the truth.

Even the brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi were really worried about him leaving like this.

After all, the purpose of staying away from the Ming Dynasty is to allow them to live a better life, not to send them out to die.

Although the three of them had more or less resentment towards each other due to various interests, they were brothers after all, so naturally no one wanted anyone to die.

Otherwise, do you really think that with the power in the hands of the three of them, they really have no chance, or no ability, to kill one of them quietly and silently?

Apparently realistic.

Of course they didn't dare to do so, it must be because of the presence of the old man, but the old man was just a small shackle, it was not unbreakable. Everything was proved. Did they really think they could control the three of them 100%?
As for why no one chooses to do that?
After all, they are brothers from the same father and mother. Unless it is absolutely necessary, unless the other party wants to take their life or really wants to use surgery on them, no one would be willing to do such a thing.

This boundary is also something that the three brothers understand tacitly.

For this reason, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi were naturally happy for Zhu Gaosui from the bottom of their hearts when they saw that this unreliable guy had undergone such a change.

Then, after a brief silence, Zhu Gaoxu came to his senses and reached out to grab Zhu Gaosui's shoulders, with a faint smile on his face, and said:
"Lao San"

"Just keep this matter to yourself!"

"Of course, there's no need to mention this matter. The boss and I thought about this problem a long time ago and have already arranged it properly."

"In the Jingying camp in Kyoto, we have already reserved a camp for you soldiers who have returned victoriously. The chefs there have already started preparing all kinds of delicious food, waiting for the soldiers to enjoy."

"Today, we have prepared plenty of flour, rice, fish and meat, so that the soldiers can eat whatever they want without any problems."

"More than that"

"Originally, we were going to welcome you at our Prince Han's residence, but I couldn't get over it. Who says he is our eldest brother and the crown prince?"

"So, we've prepared a special welcoming banquet for you. We'll hold it at the Crown Prince's residence. My sister-in-law has already started preparing, and is waiting for the three of us brothers to have a good meal, like a real family reunion dinner."

"As for the things you are thinking about, you don't have to worry about them at all. The boss and I are naturally not the kind of people who don't know etiquette."

While speaking, Zhu Gaoxu winked at the prince beside him, and said with a smile:

"Boss"

"You can consult with your sister-in-law today."

"The third brother has been gone for more than half a year. We three brothers have never not seen each other for such a long time."

"Today I must have a good drink and have a good time."

"Don't wait until then."

"Sister-in-law objected, and I didn't get her consent, so I made a fool of myself. Don't blame me and the third brother for making fun of you then!!"

"Please don't do anything so disappointing."

Zhu Gaochi: "!!!!!!"

Look at what he said. Zhu Gaochi blushed, and at the same time, he couldn't help thinking of the scene a few days ago when he asked the Crown Princess about drinking when preparing for the welcoming banquet. The feeling was extremely sour.

No, no, no. It shouldn't be said that the waist is abnormally sore and swollen.

At that time, he had to use all his skills and risk his life to satisfy her and make the Crown Princess agree.

While he was thinking about it, and now that Zhu Gaoxu suddenly mentioned it like this, the Crown Prince's right hand unconsciously touched the back of his waist, and his fat legs unconsciously trembled slightly.

This move naturally did not escape the eyes of Zhu Gaoxu who was standing next to him, but it made him a little puzzled, and he subconsciously asked:

"no."

"Boss, what's wrong with you? You haven't even drunk any alcohol yet, why are your legs shaking?"

"No!"

"Big Brother, you can drink a lot. It's not like we three brothers haven't competed with each other before. You are no worse than me and the third brother. Is it necessary to do this?"

"Could it be that my sister-in-law didn't agree?"

"Hahaha"

"Are you afraid of your sister-in-law?"

"It's okay, it's okay. After all, as long as the third brother and I are here, even if my sister-in-law is unwilling, she will definitely give you face more or less. She will never let you down or lose face in front of the two of us."

"It's okay, it's okay, just drink the wine first and have some fun, and then after we leave, you can kneel down and admit your mistake to your sister-in-law."

"Anyway, since the third brother and I are not here, no one will laugh at you."

"Right!"

That's what I said.

Zhu Gaochi almost couldn't hold back his curses after hearing this. He wanted to refute him and tell him that he was not behaving like this because he was afraid of his wife.

However, after thinking carefully about why he was like that, he had to suppress his rebuttal, because if he really argued with Zhu Gaoxu about this matter, God knows whether Zhu Gaoxu's brain circuit would be able to see through the essence of the matter based on his expression and actions.

If Zhu Gaoxu really saw through the essence of the matter, he would expose it to him without restraint.

Then he would be really embarrassed to death.

Then, as if he had to accept his fate, he glanced at Zhu Gaoxu who was teasing him with disdain and changed the subject:

"Second child"

"Can we please be a little more serious and speak properly?"

"I am your elder brother after all, and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. How can I tease you like this, and how can I treat you like this?"

Zhu Gaosui, who was originally silent, couldn't help but smile when he saw the two lively people beside him, and said:

"okay."

"Big brother, second brother, you two just have fun first, let's go make some arrangements first."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaosui reached out and slapped away the big hand on his shoulder, turned his head and walked towards the position of the Ming soldiers who were lining up after getting off the warships.

Seeing the departing figure, the two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other, but tactfully did not say anything to stop him, nor did they say any teasing words.

Then, Zhu Gaochi retracted his gaze and looked at the boxes of things on the dock, and said:

"Let's make some arrangements!"

"After all, there are so many silver pieces and so many spoils."

"It will take a lot of manpower to do the inventory and clean up."

Zhu Gaoxu naturally had no objection to this and could understand it.

Afterwards, the two did not stay for too long and turned to the seats of the ministers who were sitting in groups of three or four, ready to give instructions for the next matters.

The ministers who were originally discussing and describing their excited emotions, when they saw the Crown Prince and the King of Han walking towards them, they all stopped chatting and simply sorted out their thoughts. They bowed solemnly and said:
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, and His Majesty the Prince of Han."

Seeing the people saluting, Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and said:
"The King of Zhao has returned victoriously and is hurrying back to the capital. The journey has been long and tiring, so let him have some rest."

"The details of this expedition to Japan and the detailed battle report will be reported to the court tomorrow. We will listen carefully to his report."

"Do you have any objections?"

This question was asked.

The ministers below the stage looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they had no objection.

After all, everyone knows how far the Japanese mainland is from the Ming coastline. After drifting on the ship for such a long time, it would be impossible to say that you are not tired or have a good rest!

Giving others time to rest and recuperate is a very reasonable thing to do.

Moreover.

Even if they did not understand the hard work of King Zhao, they had nothing to say when they saw the boxes of silver and the rich spoils. It was enough to shut them all up. What else was there to say?

Seeing that no one was talking, Zhu Gaochi nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"Since the ministers have no objection."

"Then regarding the spoils that the King of Zhao brought back from Japan, the amount involved is huge. The Ministry of Revenue will take the lead, and the ministers will assist in counting the spoils as soon as possible, then record them in a book and store them in the national treasury."

"When you go to court tomorrow, please present them together."

"As for the use of these spoils and the subsequent situation, we will discuss it together during the court tomorrow morning."

Having said this, Zhu Gaochi paused, thought for a moment, and continued:
"If you have nothing else to do, let's do this!!"

"Everyone should go about their own business!" (End of this chapter)
