My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 62: Sit next to Grandpa Huang

Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty adopted a maritime ban policy in its early days, and according to Zhu Gaoyu's observations, the maritime ban policy became increasingly stringent over time.

First of all, it is naturally because of the Japanese pirates at sea.

Secondly...we have to talk about Tang He's move of relocating people and abolishing counties.

He abolished the Changguo Guard in Zhoushan and moved it to Xiangshan, leaving the defenses unprotected and allowing maritime smuggling to become more rampant.

At the same time, a large number of people from the Zhoushan Islands were relocated to the mountainous area.

However, due to the harsh conditions in the mountainous areas, many people ventured back to Zhoushan and joined the armed smuggling teams.

As for other reasons, such as maintaining the tributary system, establishing the concept of the Celestial Empire, strengthening coastal defense, and reducing the influence of anti-Ming forces...

Basically, all of these are involved.

Of course, none of this is appropriate to say out loud.

Zhu Gaoyu would not, at this time, fantasize about a beautiful sea voyage like he did when he was with Ma Sanbao.

If you say this, you are openly going against the maritime ban policy set by your grandfather.

The final result would probably be that after returning home, his pants would be stripped off and his buttocks would be beaten.

He only glanced at the Japanese envoy vaguely, and then spoke loudly:
"Grandpa Emperor, I made this dragon boat myself, which means that our Ming Dynasty can conquer the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and naturally we can also learn his technology."

"As the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves ahead. The Ming navy, building on the foundation laid by its predecessors, will surely be able to stand higher and see further."

"My grandson believes that our great Ming Dynasty is both brave on land and wise at sea. We will continue the past and forge ahead into the future, and the world will be at peace. The future of our great Ming Dynasty will be a scene of peaceful seas and tranquil rivers."

Zhu Gaoyu spoke eloquently, and nice words came out of his mouth as if they were free.

Zhu Di looked strange when he heard this. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Miaoyun and lowered his voice:
"Did you teach it?"

Xu Miaoyun was a little stunned at first, but after hearing Zhu Di's question, she smiled slightly, gently pinched the soft flesh on his waist, and then snorted:
"My son, how can he not be smart? Do I need to teach him this?"

Zhu Di heard this and slightly widened his eyes:

"So when he was well-behaved and clever, he was your son. When he climbed up the roof and took off the tiles, he was my son?"

Xu Miaoyun also followed his example and opened her eyes wide:

"What's wrong with a kid climbing up the roof and tearing off the tiles? It's better for him to be lively and active than to be sickly, right?"

Zhu Di was speechless for a long time, and finally could only utter one sentence:
"You... a loving mother often spoils her child!"

Xu Miaoyun did not respond to him, but just gently twisted his waist again.

For Zhu Di, this didn't hurt at all, but it made him feel a little itchy.

Just when Zhu Di was still puzzled, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter again.

He waved to the eunuch next to him, and the eunuch understood what he meant. He came to the hall, picked up the wooden boat, held it gently in his palm, then quickly walked to Zhu Yuanzhang and put the wooden boat in his hands.

After looking at it for a while at a close distance, Zhu Yuanzhang could increasingly feel the exquisite workmanship of the wooden boat, and it was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into it.

Comparing with what Zhu Gaoxu had just said, Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction with Zhu Gaoxu was swept away.

Among the children born to the fourth son, having two smart children is already good enough, and it doesn't matter if Zhu Gaoxu is a little stupid.

Otherwise, all the sons born will be smart. With this ability...even Lao Zhu, the father, doesn't have it. It's better not to make things difficult for the fourth son.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di below and spoke in a rare friendly tone:
"Old Four, you have given birth to some good sons. Gao Chi, Gao Yu...these two children are both good."

After saying that, he smiled and waved to Zhu Gaoyu, "Come, Gaoyu, sit next to Grandpa Emperor."

As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy hall fell silent for a moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have noticed something and just asked back:

"Isn't it normal for a grandson to sit next to his grandfather?"

Zhu Yunwen sat in his seat, and because of this sentence, his originally calm mood suddenly became turbulent. He even had the urge to question.

In ordinary people's homes, it might be normal for a grandson to sit next to his grandfather.

But is the Zhu family an ordinary family?
He, the grandson of the emperor, was still here, but Zhu Gaoyu, the son of a vassal king, sat beside Zhu Yuanzhang openly...

Although he knew that the emperor had no other intentions and that Zhu Gaoyu was only five years old and posed no threat at all, Zhu Yunwen still felt like there was a knot in his heart.

He always felt that there was an inexplicable grudge between him and the King of Yan and his family.

Anyway, I just don't like it.

Zhu Gaoyu took a small golden chair and sat next to the emperor.

At this moment, he was still a little excited.

When he looked down and saw his brothers, Zhu Gaoyu waved his hand quietly again.

When Zhu Gaochi saw this, he smiled brightly.

Zhu Gaosui winked at him.

Only the second brother, after seeing Zhu Gaoyu like this, seemed to have lost his mind. He snorted coldly, then turned his head away, deliberately not looking at Zhu Gaoyu.

Why is second brother angry again?

Zhu Gaoyu was completely confused.

The second brother should just stop calling him Zhu Gaoxu and just call him Angry One!

Zhu Gaoyu picked up a cake, stuffed it into his mouth, and thought hatefully.

While eating, Zhu Gaoyu did not forget to flatter the emperor.

He picked up the dishes with his chopsticks and put them into Zhu Yuanzhang's bowl, saying:

"Grandpa Emperor, today is your day, eat more, don't be polite, just treat it like you're at home. Don't be skinny all the time, a man should be strong to look good..."

When the old man Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he didn't know for a moment whether he should teach this rebellious grandson a lesson first, or accept the advice from his grandson.

After hesitating for a long time, he slowly picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoyu nodded slowly and couldn't help but show a look of satisfaction on his face.

This is so good.

Zhu Di, who was below, had been eavesdropping with his ears perked up, but when he heard his own boy say these words, his heart almost stopped beating.

Is this kid really that bold?

How dare you talk like that!
The most important thing is that the old man really listened to this kid...

For a moment, Zhu Di didn't know what to say.

You know, even when the eldest brother was around, he might not necessarily speak to Lao Zhu like this.

Could this be another legendary tradition of the Zhu family...kinship between generations?

But no matter how you look at it, this Tianshou Festival can be said to be the most glorious one for Zhu Di.

This can be sensed from the envious looks from the brothers around him.

Even when he left the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di's back was straight, like a piece of wood carved by a knife.
