King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Let the Princess of Han return to the capital.

They spend the New Year together as a family?
Does he want to?
There is no doubt that if I say something that I don't mean, I must be joking.

But thinking about it is one thing, and being able to do it is another. It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but there are some things that he can't do just because he doesn't want to. But for many things, he has to consider the overall situation.

We have to look at the problem from different perspectives.

Don't be fooled by Zhu Gaoxu's usual bossy and loud voice. He makes a fuss about everything, as if he is the boss and he is the second in command.

But let’s talk about reality!
really?

is it possible?
In many things, he seems to act without any rules, doing things according to his own preferences, doing everything according to his own temperament, but in fact many times.

When doing these things, he had already weighed the interests involved in his mind, or what consequences such actions might bring, whether such a thing could be borne by everyone, and whether it was within the range that everyone could accept.

Especially against the Crown Prince and Emperor Yongle, who was sitting on the dragon throne and was more suspicious than anyone else.

If what he wants to do is not within the tolerance range of the two of them, and is not something that the two of them can endure, then he will definitely not do it. Even if he can't help but want to do it, he will definitely control the scale and other issues involved.

He will not allow things that happen through his hands to be pushed to a point of no return, leading to results that no one wants to see.

Therefore, all these things were done after careful consideration, and they were not really done based on his own preferences as he showed and expressed.

otherwise.

Do you really think that he can be so free and easy, or that he can really accomplish so many things?
How can it be!

Not to mention whether the Crown Prince would interfere, even Emperor Yongle would never allow him to act so recklessly.

Don’t look at him as the Crown Prince or Emperor Yongle!

Both of them often said that Zhu Gaoxu was too presumptuous, too excessive, completely unreasonable, and unscrupulous, and scolded and cursed him.

In fact, these insults and words, in a sense, were nothing more than a consensus reached among each other. They were just taking the opportunity to put on an act for the ministers in the court to see. At the same time, they were also taking the opportunity to establish such an image for Zhu Gaoxu among the court officials.

This was just to make it easier for Zhu Gaoxu to act.

Otherwise, if Zhu Gaoxu was really the kind of person that the Crown Prince and Emperor Yongle said he was.

In the entire Ming Dynasty court, with the Crown Prince's means and the power in the hands of Emperor Yongle, if the two did not tacitly recognize and agree, do you really think that Zhu Gaoxu could accomplish those things with his abilities and means alone, or that these two people really could not stop him?

is it possible?
I'm afraid these words can only fool children.

Anyone with a little bit of common sense, anyone who can use their brain a little, would never believe it.

After all, the current Ming Dynasty court is not the late Ming period nearly two hundred years later. The power in the hands of the current king and prince has not been lost at all, and is still firmly held in the hands of the emperor and the prince.

How is it possible that there is no means to check and balance him? How is it possible that there is no means to suppress him?
But why not act and do this?

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than mutual exploitation and in the interests of the other party. What is done is what others want to do but are unable to do or are unwilling to do.

to this end.

How could Emperor Yongle and the Crown Prince suppress him, or stop or hinder him?

This is totally unrealistic and not in the interests of either of them.

As for the fact that the Princess of Han left the capital and took the entire Han family with her to her fiefdom, in a sense, it was not in the interests of both the Crown Prince and Emperor Yongle.

Of course, he was absolutely unwilling to do so, and he did not want the Princess of Han to go to her fiefdom to serve as a vassal.

But why was the Princess of Han able to go to the fiefdom?
This was Zhu Gaoxu's plan to trap both of them, giving them room for gossip and evidence. At the same time, Empress Xu also stepped forward to support Zhu Gaoxu in this matter, and with an extremely tough attitude, she forcibly suppressed Emperor Yongle and the Crown Prince.

For this reason, Emperor Yongle and the Crown Prince had to swallow their anger and agree to let the Princess of Han take the entire family to Yunnan to establish a fiefdom.

Otherwise, given the tempers and personalities of Emperor Yongle and the Crown Prince, it was clear that they wanted to tie Zhu Gaoxu down in Yingtian City, so how could they allow the Princess of Han to go there to be a fief?

As for why he was unwilling to allow the Princess of Han to go to her fiefdom with her entire family?

The reason is of course extremely simple.

Because of the presence of the Princess of Han and the other members of her family, it was like holding Zhu Gaoxu's weak spot. Zhu Gaoxu was restrained and did not dare to give up his responsibilities at will. He could not act without scruples and had to consider the consequences of many things.

Without the weak link of the Princess of Han and her family, Zhu Gaoxu is the only one left in the Prince of Han's mansion.

to be honest!
As long as Zhu Gaoxu is willing, as long as Zhu Gaoxu wants.

Then Zhu Gaoxu could disappear quietly right under their noses without a trace, or even after Zhu Gaoxu arrived at his fiefdom, they would receive the news.

Because I was alone and my target was not big, I could hide a lot of things.

And if the whole family were in Yingtianfu City, it would be impossible for them to be so free and easy, because there would be too many people and the target would be too big. How could it be so easy to leave quietly?
I'm afraid the whole family would be stopped before they even walked out of the gate of Yingtian City.

It was also with the departure of the Princess of Han and others that they moved with their families to their fiefdoms in Yunnan, thousands of miles away, and slowly developed their own strength, which has gradually yielded initial results.

With these two premises, Zhu Gaoxu could clearly feel that both Emperor Yongle and Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi's attitudes towards him had undergone earth-shaking changes.

As for many things that happened to him, the two of them no longer dared to go too far as they did in the past.
In many things, we will give the other party enough face.

It was also for this reason that Zhu Gaoxu was unwilling to let the Princess of Han return to Beijing, and this was the real reason why the family reunited in Beijing.

Because if they want to come back, it will definitely be extremely easy and simple, and no one will interfere or hinder this matter. I am afraid they will have to agree with it with both hands and feet, which is what they wish for.

The problem is that it is easy to come back, but after returning to Beijing, it may not be so easy to leave the capital again and escape from this place of trouble.

By then, I'm afraid all kinds of bad things will follow, and many people will deliberately try to stop it.

And with the experience and lessons learned from last time, it would not be so easy to deceive others and fall into his hands again.

This was a result that Zhu Gaoxu was extremely unwilling to see.

So when faced with the question raised by Lao He, although Zhu Gaoxu was very tempted, he also knew that it was unlikely, so he had to silently shake his head, followed by a long sigh, and said:
"forget it!"

"Old He, please don't joke with me about this matter."

"You have followed me for such a long time. I think you should know the reason for this matter better than anyone else."

"How could I not know? This is totally impossible."

"And this is not what I wish for. It will inevitably make us fall into the same quagmire and swamp as before. Why should we make ourselves uncomfortable after working so hard to achieve the result?"

"Why bother, making yourself uncomfortable?"

"Aren't you just pushing yourself off a cliff?" Yes!

How could he not know?

In fact, when Lao He talked about this, he already knew the result and the answer in his heart.

Thinking about this, Lao He couldn't help but sigh, with a little reluctance and anger, and said in a deep voice:
"They really went too far."

"Why do you always force the prince? Why do you always treat the prince like this?"

"Hey"

The relationship between the two had naturally surpassed the friendship between master and servant, so Lao He's words were relatively casual, without so many twists and turns. Zhu Gaoxu naturally did not care about it, and he knew that Lao He would only speak like this when only the two of them were around, and he knew his limits very well at other times.

After a brief pause, Zhu Gaoxu smiled self-deprecatingly and said:

"It's very simple."

“It’s all about profit.”

"Of course, what happened here, in a sense, doesn't it also indirectly confirm my ability and capability?"

"If I didn't have such skills and abilities, how could I make them so fearful?"

"As the saying goes: Throughout history, those who are not envied are all mediocre."

"Don't you think so, Lao He?"

"Hahaha"

Old He was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help laughing at this moment. He nodded heavily in approval and said:

"Yes!"

"In the eyes of this old servant, the prince's talent is a combination of the past and the present. It is rare in this world and cannot be compared with ordinary people."

"Hahaha"

The emotional value is absolutely perfect, and the ability to support the main character and flatter is absolutely first-rate.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu pointed with a smile on his face. Lao He beside him also said jokingly:

"Hey"

"You bastard."

"That's enough. Go, go, go."

"I am embarrassed for your words and your behavior."

Just kidding.

Old He naturally stopped talking at the right time, but at this moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his originally playful expression suddenly became restrained, replaced by a look of doubt and uncertainty. He spoke carefully, saying:

"My lord."

"Regarding what happened just now, I have thought of another possibility."

"I don't know whether I should talk about this or not."

"Maybe I can, and it's fine to fulfill the prince's wish!"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu paused for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the playful smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of curiosity. He nodded and said:
"What's possible!"

"Tell me about it. I'll think about it and see if it's feasible."

After receiving a positive reply, Lao He simply sorted out his thoughts, his expression became serious, and he spoke quietly:

"It is not appropriate for the princess to return to the capital."

"The worry is back, and it's not easy to leave."

"Then, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about this? In fact, there is no need for the princess to return to the capital, but the prince should go to the fiefdom and reunite with the family!"

"After all, the princess has been in the fiefdom for more than a year. You chose the New Year because you wanted to see how the princess is governed during her one-year absence. This is both a visit to her parents and an inspection of the fiefdom."

"These two issues were raised at the same time, and you and the Crown Prince discussed many issues and problems between you two."

"From what I have seen, it shouldn't be that difficult to make this happen."

"After all, this is a very reasonable and well-founded matter, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

"Of course, even if this matter fails to win the approval of the Crown Prince and His Majesty, it will not have any impact on you, and it will not bring any adverse effects."

"If the Crown Prince and His Majesty do not stop it, then Your Majesty will gain something and achieve his wish."

"Even if this proposal is rejected, His Majesty will not suffer any loss, right?"

"to this end."

"No matter how you look at it, it seems like a good deal. In my opinion, there is no need to worry. You can be thick-skinned and give it a try here."

"I just wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

Hey.
Don't say it yet, don't say it yet.

It seems to be true. It seems that according to what Lao He said, there is indeed some chance of success here.

It is undeniable.

Listening to Lao He's reminder, it seems that he really fell into a misunderstanding on this issue.

He complicated a lot of problems, and it seemed that they were not as complicated or difficult as he thought.

As he thought about it, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, which had been silent before, could not help but light up slightly. His expression also swept away the gloom that had covered him when he was discussing this issue just now. Instead, he was filled with excitement and excitement, and shouted:
"Okay, okay, okay!"

"That's very well said, it seems to be true."

"It's really worth a try, it's not a bad idea." (End of this chapter)
