King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Yo ho!

This question was asked.

The answer is self-evident.

Zhu Zhanji was not a fool. If he could not understand the deep meaning of the prince's words even with such straightforward words, he would almost want to bang his head against the wall and die.

Although the prince did not give a direct answer to this question, the implication was to tell him that his father was also involved in this matter, and his father's approval was necessary for this matter to be implemented so smoothly.

Know the answer, know that your father is involved in this matter.

However, Zhu Zhanji's doubts rose again unconsciously.

You have to know that at this time, the Ming Dynasty court opened many money houses. Although there was suspicion of competing with the people for profits, in a sense, it was also a major event that benefited the country and the people.

Regarding this matter, it is not difficult to see the reactions of the people in Yingtian City who had just heard the news.

But for such a major event that benefits the country and the people, a policy that can be praised by so many people in the entire court, why did his father not show up here and not participate in it?

Instead, he disappeared. Why didn't he take the opportunity to increase his own power?

This seemed a little unrealistic no matter how you looked at it. With such a thing and situation, he didn't believe that his father could not understand and know the benefits of it.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

He was afraid that there must be something here that he couldn't imagine or dared not believe.

Just as he was silent.

How could the prince standing next to him not know?
After a brief silence, Zhu Gaochi glanced at him with interest and said with a smile:
"Are you curious about why we didn't get involved in this matter?"

After hearing this, although Zhu Zhanji did not nod in agreement, he couldn't help but nodded subconsciously.

How can I not be curious?

Regarding this matter, I am afraid that any normal person would not be curious about it.

Seeing his answer, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help laughing, smiled helplessly, and continued:

“We can’t just look at the benefits.”

“In any matter, benefits and risks are often common.”

"If there is profit, there must be certain risks."

"Although the benefits of this matter are great, the risks are even greater."

"You only think about the benefits of success, but have you ever thought about the consequences if it doesn't work out?"

This is said.

Zhu Zhanji was stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

Yes!

Benefits often come with corresponding risks.

While the benefits here are so great, the risks are also unimaginably great.

If this matter cannot be done safely and correctly, it cannot be implemented.

Then he will definitely be labeled as someone who is causing chaos and harming the country.

I’m afraid few people can bear such a big hat.

Even though his father held a high position as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Don't dare to accept it easily!!

I know it is a benefit, but I can't face it.

Then he would have to find someone to stand in front, and if nothing unexpected happened, this person would be his least favorite second uncle, the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu.

If we understand the risks involved, then why would King of Han Zhu Gaoxu do this?
He didn't believe that the King of Han, with his intelligence, could not have imagined this.

to this end.

Zhu Zhanji briefly pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head and looked back, saying:

"father……"

"In that case, why ..."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi suddenly opened his half-closed eyes, looked back with a smile, and asked with a sneer:

“Why not get involved, right?”

"Why would we back out?"

no doubt.

These words naturally touched the heart of Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji.

Seeing his behavior, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help laughing and said:

"Everything."

"If someone knows that there will be huge risks but still goes ahead with it, then that person is not smart, that person is a complete fool."

"Moreover"

"In the court, if the second brother and I were to go to court, it would really cause some unnecessary trouble."

"Then who should play the good cop, and who should play the bad cop?"

"Now that your grandfather is fighting in the northern frontier, who else in the court has the ability to do this except me and the second brother?"

Don't tell me yet.

This statement completely confused Zhu Zhanji, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer this question.

There is no other reason.

Because what he said made so much sense.

When Emperor Yongle went on an expedition to the northern desert, the imperial decree he issued was to appoint the King of Han as regent.

The power here is naturally beyond doubt.

However, although Zhu Gaochi, as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, did not have any title, the halo he carried was unquestionable.

In today's Ming Dynasty court, it is hard to say who has the most power.

Without a doubt, it must be the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and the Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu. After all, one is a benevolent monarch respected by civil officials, while the other is a person respected and recognized by military generals for his merits.

And now it is obvious that Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu has got involved, so what if something uncontrollable really happens?

When Emperor Yongle was unable to return to Beijing to take charge, the person who could suppress the crisis and take charge of the situation was none other than Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi.

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji seemed to have tasted some intriguing meaning from it. He could not help but feel a little puzzled, and then he asked:

"Dad" "As you wish."

"This matter was a conspiracy between you and my second uncle."

"Since the power in your hands and that of your second uncle is sufficient to deal with the crisis that may occur next."

"Why didn't you choose to be the vanguard in this matter? Why didn't you lead the charge and let your second uncle lead the charge for you? Why did you insist on letting your second uncle take the field?"

"You know, if this thing is really accomplished, anyone who serves as a vanguard officer will surely be praised by the people of the world."

“This is a great honor!”

"Are you really not interested at all? Are you really not interested in getting involved at all?"

"Are you going to give such a great credit to your second uncle for nothing, so that he can use this opportunity to increase his prestige?"

"If Second Uncle uses this incident to increase his own prestige and his original intentions undergo some changes, I'm afraid it will definitely not be a good thing for you!"

"Moreover"

"Second Uncle is such a smart man, just regarding the current situation."

"Why would he dare to do such a thing and risk the world's disapproval? I don't believe that Second Uncle is not aware of the risks involved. Have you really never thought about this?"

"If Second Uncle really succeeds with this, I'm afraid your current position may not be that stable."

At this point, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and annoyed. In his opinion, no matter how you look at it, his father always gave people the feeling that he was timid and cowardly.

No matter how he thought about it, he always felt uncomfortable.

Because in his opinion, being cautious is a good thing in many things, but being too cautious about everything is not necessarily a good thing, and it may even give people the impression of being cowardly.

Regarding such a matter, he believed that among those involved in this matter, he was not the only one who had such thoughts. Even the ministers had such views to a greater or lesser extent.

to this end.

He really didn't know why his father, who was obviously smarter than anyone else and saw things more clearly than anyone else, had to be so timid and foolish about such things. Why couldn't he be a little braver and take a small step forward?

To be honest, this move really puzzled him.

Looking at Zhu Zhanji's appearance and listening to his words, Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi was such a smart man, how could he not hear the hidden meaning of his words? He couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the head gently.

He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with him, and glared at him fiercely with his eyes, snorting coldly:

"oops"

"This matter actually makes me dislike your father."

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, kid, just play politics like that."

"Compared to me and the second brother, you are really too young."

"For some things, what we think and consider is still too one-sided."

"How can everything in this world be as simple as you think? How can everything be as smooth as you think?"

"Have you forgotten who you are now?"

"I am the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. As long as I don't make any mistakes, the position you have always worried about and dreamed of will be in my pocket."

Having said this, Zhu Gaochi paused, glanced at him with an unhappy expression, a cold smile appeared on his face, and he continued:
"that's it"

"You can think of these problems, do you think I can't think of them?"

"Or in other words, with regard to these questions, could it be possible that the King of Han could not think of them?"

"Things here are not as simple as you think, nor as easy as you think."

"Never let the things in front of you and the petty gains in front of you blind your eyes. You really need to learn how to judge certain things."

“Don’t just focus on the benefits, don’t just focus on what happens after success, think more about what kind of impact it will have on you if you don’t succeed, if it backfires, and whether you can bear such a shock.”

"To be honest, the King of Han wanted me to take the lead in the beginning. He was behind the scenes to back me up. He wanted me to show my face and take the limelight. However, I rejected the King of Han's proposal."

"It's not that I don't want to do this, but it's more harmful than beneficial to us."

Zhu Zhanji: “???????”

What do you mean?
What kind of vicious words are these?
What does it mean that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages? Being praised by people all over the world and winning the praise of all people in the world, isn’t this benefit big enough?
I'm afraid you're just trying to fool him!

With fame and fortune like this, how many other things here can compare to it?
You have to know that given his father's current position, if he were to show up in this matter, as long as he could accomplish this thing and be praised by the people of the world, then the position under his buttocks would be greatly improved.

It can almost be said to be unbreakable, and absolutely no one can shake it.

There is absolutely no possibility of any shaking. Even if the King of Han has great ability, it will be of no avail.

With such huge benefits, even if there is a possibility of failure, even if there are some disadvantages, but compared with such huge benefits, what does it really matter?

He really didn't know why Zhu Gaochi could say that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Just these four words made him want to curse.

When these rebuttals and words fell into his ears, he felt for some reason, as if they were making excuses for himself, as if he was too timid and did not dare to do it. Everything he did was just for the sake of safety.

Although Zhu Zhanji did not answer, his intriguing eyes had already revealed his thoughts.

In response to this, the prince smiled noncommittally, shook his head slightly, and asked:

"Do you think I'm making excuses for my cowardice?"

"Do you think?"

"Are we complaining without reason?"

When asked this question, Zhu Zhanji really didn't want to pay attention to it.

After all, he is his biological father. There are some things he wants to say but dare not say. He has to save some face for the other party. At the same time, he also does not want to embarrass everyone and make everyone unhappy. Of course, the most important point here is that he is also afraid that if he really brings this matter to light, he will be afraid of suffering the care from his "old father".

For this reason, I can only respond with an awkward smile to hide my true thoughts.

How could Zhu Gaochi not see through this situation? He smiled helplessly at his little thoughts and simply stopped hiding them. He spoke frankly and said:
"Let me ask you something"

"As for the current situation, what's the point of us getting involved?"

"Given our current position, even if we succeed, what does it matter? We are already the Chu Army of the Ming Dynasty, second only to the emperor, and have ascended to the throne of the crown prince."

"We don't deny that participation may further consolidate the position."

"But have you ever thought about the criticism you will face from the world if you fail here?"

"If something like that really happens, if we really face the criticism from everyone in the world, then will we still be able to maintain the position we have already obtained?"

"Have you ever thought about this question?"

"With our current position, it's already a done deal. Tell me."

"Why would you take such a big risk to get something that would be icing on the cake?"

"Is this smart or stupid?" (End of this chapter)
