Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 60 Zhu Di: Dad, please give me a dream (Seeking investment, collection, and follow-up reading.)
"Uncle, is this my father when he was a child?"

Zhu Qizhen, who had some free time today, sat on a bench and looked at the picture projected in front of him.

When he saw Zhu Pangpang, there was not much emotion on his face.

His impression of his grandfather Zhu Pangpang was limited to the portrait in the Taimiao and the stories told by his grandmother and people around him.

But when he saw Zhang, it was different. His eyes were full of excitement and silly smile.

When he saw Zhu Zhanji as a teenager, his feelings were particularly complicated. This was the first time he saw his father as a child, and it turned out that he did not look like his father when they were children.

"Yes, that's your father, a bohemian and freedom-loving teenager."

Zhu Zhanjun, who was counting money with his mother, replied casually in his heart.

"Uh." Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what his second uncle meant by his evaluation of his father.
"Snapped!"

A straw sandal hit him on the head, and then Lao Zhu's voice came.

"You've seen enough, right? There'll be plenty of time to see more later, so why don't you hurry up and get to work."

After leaving, Zhu Zhanji did not return to the palace to continue his classes, but went to Jiming Temple.

It was impossible to hide the shame of his father, mother and younger brother selling furniture on the street. He thought he should go to the old man in advance and inform him, so that he wouldn't get angry when he found out.

Zhu Di and Empress Xu were both very happy about the arrival of their eldest grandson.

"Why, you're in a bad mood."

The old man, who was playing chess with Empress Xu, saw his eldest grandson's anxious expression and asked with concern.

Zhu Zhanji hesitated for a moment, lifted his robe and knelt in front of the old man.

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm here to apologize on behalf of my father, mother, and second brother."

Seeing this scene, the old man frowned, threw the chess piece into the chess building, looked at Zhu Zhanji and asked, "Tell me."

Zhu Zhanji lowered his head and told the old man what happened today. Finally, he took out ten taels of silver from his arms, placed them at the old man's feet, and prostrated himself on the ground.

After listening to it, the old man showed no emotion on his face, but asked Zhu Zhanji.

"You think it's shameful for your parents and Zhanjun to sell furniture and other things on the street, right?"

Zhu Zhanji prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Looking at his eldest grandson, whom he always cared about the most, the old man sighed softly.

"Tell me, what kind of people are your father and your second brother in your mind?"

Zhu Zhanji was silent for a while before he spoke: "My father is an honest man, and the second son..."

At this point, Zhu Zhanji didn't know how to comment for a moment.

Although he and Zhu Zhan were brothers, the two brothers had little contact since childhood.

He was busy studying every day. Except for the morning and evening visits to Empress Xu and the old man, the two brothers would see each other once. They rarely spent time together.

Later, Empress Xu fell ill, and Zhu Zhanjun left home for another two years. When he came back these days, he was busy with his studies and they rarely communicated.

To be honest, Zhu Zhanji really didn't understand his second brother.

"An honest man." The old man chuckled, pulled Zhu Zhanji up and made him sit at his feet.

"Do you know what Zhan Jun said about your father?"

Zhu Zhanji looked up at the old man and shook his head.

"Ugh."

Looking at his bewildered grandson, the old man suddenly sighed for some reason.

Empress Xu, who was standing beside her, also sighed in her heart.

Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.

She understood that her husband's sigh was due to this reason.

People who are cultivated with all their heart and soul are actually not as good as those who are allowed to run wild in terms of mental wisdom.

After waving his hand to let the servants around him leave, the old man said, "I also asked Zhan Jun this question a few days ago."

Recalling the scene of that night, the grandfather and grandson sat in the pavilion, enjoying the cool breeze and chatting, the old man said slowly: "This is how Zhanjun evaluated your father." Zhu Zhanji raised his head and looked at the old man, curiosity aroused in his heart.

"He said that throughout the history of the Chinese nation, your father's wisdom, strategy and benevolence can be ranked among the top five among all the crown princes."

"If I become an emperor in the future, I will definitely be a benevolent ruler who will go down in history."

Zhu Zhanji was shocked. He didn't expect that his second brother had such a high opinion of their father.

"Of course." The old man added helplessly, "He then added that your father was really scared in front of me. He also complained that I scared his father every day. If his father died young, I would be responsible for most of it."

Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth in astonishment: Is the second brother so fierce? How dare he say that to the old man?

Without further discussion on this topic, the old man said, "In fact, I am not angry about your father selling furniture. On the contrary, I am very pleased."

"Shame on you, haha." The old man chuckled and patted Zhu Zhanji on the head: "Your great grandfather was once a monk and begged for food."

"Little guy, you shouldn't be here today. You should be accompanying your father, mother, and your second brother selling things there."

The old man said earnestly: "As a son, you should share your father's worries instead of causing trouble for him."

"You did a very good job on this point, kid."

"When your father encountered troubles, he did not sit idly by, nor did he avoid the trouble. Instead, he gave your father thoughtful advice and took the initiative to help your father solve the problem."

"If this happened to you today, how would you help your father?"

Zhu Zhanji was silent.

To be honest, if this happened to him today, he would rack his brains but could not come up with the idea of ​​letting his father sell furniture on the street and trick people into making money.

Looking at the silent Zhu Zhanji, the old man sighed again and said slowly: "It has been said since ancient times that reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles."

"It is undeniable that the second kid may not be as good as you in terms of knowledge. But there is one thing you can't compare to him, he can apply his knowledge to practice."

"Go back and study hard with the teacher. Next year, you and I will go to the Northern Expedition together to broaden your horizons and see different scenery."

Watching Zhu Zhanji's departing back, the old man felt very complicated.

One is the child that he has devoted himself to nurturing, and the other is a rising star with outstanding abilities.

To be honest, he is very conflicted now. He is reluctant to give up either of them, but there is only one position and he has to give it up.

He has always been decisive, but now he is also very conflicted.

"Fourth brother."

Empress Xu held the old man's hand with heartache. As his bedmate, she understood her husband's difficulties best.

But she really couldn't bring herself to talk about this kind of thing, so she could only let her husband figure it out himself.

Holding his wife's hand, the old man said with some melancholy: "Miaoyun, will he be able to resist the second bastard in the future?"

Empress Xu also fell silent.

The old man sighed and continued, "I received news this morning that the second kid has already started planning."

"This is a big chess game. Once the chess game is formed in the future, not to mention the eldest son, even I can't think of a way to break the game, unless I take action now and completely kill his plan."

At this point, the old man sighed again.

"He is a natural born king, a true dragon ready to strike. Once his plan is complete, he will be unrivaled in the world."

"At such a young age, he has such strategic wisdom. Once he grows up, I can't imagine how terrifying he will be."

"There has always been a voice in my heart telling me that if I give him a chance, he will become an emperor who will never be seen again."

"Under his leadership, our Ming Dynasty will become the most powerful and prosperous empire in history!"

"One is a brilliant future, the other is the foundation of national stability. I really don't know which one to choose."

Holding his wife's hand tightly, the old man looked up at the sky and murmured, "Dad, if you are still alive, please tell your son how to choose."

ps: Boss, we are impacting Sanjiang these days, and the editor told me that we are only a little bit away from meeting the requirements.

This is the first book I have written here. I would like to ask the bosses to support me strongly, invest a little, read it every day, and get monthly tickets!
