Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 112 Grandpa arranges a marriage for you!

Emperor Yongle looked at the grandson of his second son's family in front of him, and listened to his requirements for his future daughter-in-law with a look of disbelief and relief.

There's no harm without comparison, okay? Looking at the well-behaved and obedient child before him, and then comparing it to the concubine selection scene that had nearly made him mad, Emperor Yongle felt that Zhu Zhanhe in front of him was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Anything is really possible? Even marrying a peasant girl is okay?! You're not picky?!" Although Emperor Yongle was very happy, his instinct made him want to test his grandson in front of him to see if he was telling the truth.

"To answer Grandpa, there's nothing wrong with being a peasant girl. Like I said just now, as long as I can honor my parents and help my mother manage the palace, I have no problem with anything else!
Besides, my mother is just a peasant girl! A son will never think his mother is ugly!

"A real man should marry a virtuous wife and take concubines of beautiful women. Your grandson still understands this!" Zhu Zhanhe looked at the Yongle Emperor in front of him with a calm face, not afraid at all.

In fact, what Zhu Zhanhe wanted to say was that if everyone was like Zhu Zhanji today, favoring one person, wouldn’t the inner house be in chaos long ago!

Besides, Zhu Zhanhe didn't think that Emperor Yongle would really appoint him a wife who looked like an ugly monster? Emperor Yongle probably couldn't afford to lose face like this!

"Marry a virtuous wife, and a beautiful concubine! That's a good saying!"

However, your grandfather can't just randomly pick a wife for you! Go back and wait, and when the time comes, grandpa will give you a surprise! " Yongle felt that what his grandson said made a lot of sense, and it made him feel very comfortable.

Besides, the marriage proposal was just something Emperor Yongle came up with on the spur of the moment. He couldn't think of a suitable candidate at the moment, so he could only let his grandson go home and wait for news.

"Thank you, Grandpa, for the reward!" Although Zhu Zhanhe hadn't married yet, Emperor Yongle had agreed to help him, so he still respectfully thanked his grandfather in advance. Emperor Yongle nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, go back and have a good rest. I will go to the military camp to review the troops tomorrow.

I heard you've made quite a name for yourself in the military camp! I, an old man, will have to take a good look at you when the time comes!" Emperor Yongle looked at his tall and burly grandson in front of him with a strange tone, his eyes full of surprise!

From the intelligence Emperor Yongle had received, he knew his grandson hadn't received any special education, just basic royal training. Yet, this grandson always made shocking moves.

Especially now, the heavy cavalry battalion in the entire 3,000-strong camp can be said to be the private team of this grandson in front of him!
Thinking of this, Emperor Yongle's eyes couldn't help but flash with a sharp light.

"Okay, go back and prepare." Emperor Yongle ordered them to leave.

"My son, please retire!"

"Grandson, take your leave!" Zhu Zhanhe and his father, Prince Han, also quickly retreated after hearing Emperor Yongle's order to expel the guests.

Looking at his grandson walking away, Emperor Yongle couldn't help but compare the two grandsons again.

Zhanji, the eldest son of the eldest family, has been nurtured by me since childhood. He has grown up and is now married. Aside from the occasional rebelliousness of a young man, he is also very good at both civil and military affairs! He also learned the ability to lead troops and fight from me bit by bit, and he is not bad at all! In terms of civil affairs, I have given him the best teacher and have never let him down since he was a child!

Zhan He, the second son of the family, is tall and sturdy, with an upright figure. He may not have received the best training, but he's no less capable. He's well-versed in history, adept at spotting problems others can't see, and a master of civil affairs. In terms of military affairs, Zhan He possesses exceptional martial arts skills, making him a natural at leading troops in battle! His ability to win over people is truly exceptional! It's as if these skills were gifted by nature!
If we take into account Zhan He's unusual temperament, it can be said that the second son's grandson is more talented!

Yes, through several recent encounters, Emperor Yongle had already discovered Zhu Zhanhe's unusual temperament! Especially those deep eyes, which seemed to be able to plunge people into boundless fear! The aura of a superior being that he was born to be the heir apparent!
Oh! It's so hard to choose! Emperor Yongle fell into deep thought.

"Come, call Hu Shangyi!" Emperor Yongle summoned Hu Shangyi.

"What are your Majesty's instructions?" Hu Shangyi quickly came before Emperor Yongle and asked respectfully. "The eldest son of the Han family has reached the age of marriage!
Are there any outstanding ladies among this batch of concubines? Or are there any suitable girls in the ministers' families? I want to arrange a marriage for my grandson! "Emperor Yongle's words directly plunged Hu Shangyi into deep shock!

If I had known earlier, I would have granted the marriage to the Prince of Han...

On the other side, Zhu Zhanhe followed Prince Han back to the palace, where his mother had already prepared food and was waiting for him.

"Mom, I'm back!" Zhu Zhanhe smiled enthusiastically and spoke to his mother.

"You still know how to come back. I don't know who you learned this from, but you've also learned to stay in the barracks and not go home!

What's going on? If you get married and have a fight, are you going to hide in the barracks and not go home? " When the Princess of Han saw her troublesome son, her eyes lit up at first, and then she couldn't help but start to complain.

"Mom, how could this happen? I just arrived at the military camp, and dad got me a position as a captain. I am in charge of so many people, and I need to get familiar with military affairs. If something goes wrong, it will be embarrassing for your son." Zhu Zhanhe hurriedly explained to his mother, and by the way, dragged Prince Han into the water to take the blame.

"You are right, look at Zhanji, he has already married!
As for you, you haven't found a wife yet! You two are really not in a hurry!
So, I'm the only one worried about this, and this is just my problem?!" Princess Han glanced at her son again, then looked directly at Prince Han beside her, her face full of unhappiness!
"Princess, don't be angry! For He'er's marriage, I went to see the emperor today, and the emperor said he would grant He'er a marriage!

Let's come back and wait for the news! I was just about to tell you the good news! " Prince Han also noticed his wife's resentment, and when he saw that his wife's resentment was directed at him, he quickly spoke while he had something to say.

"Really?" Princess Han looked at her son with surprise, confirming the news of the emperor's marriage.

"It's true, mother, grandpa has agreed." Zhu Zhanhe said with a firm look on his face.

"That's great, He'er, let me tell you..." Princess Wei of Han was in a good mood when she heard the good news. She started talking incessantly.

"Mom, I'm hungry!" Seeing that his mother was getting more and more excited, Zhu Zhanhe took the opportunity to interrupt her.

"My son is hungry? Okay, let's eat! Come on, set the food, set the food quickly!" Princess Wei, who was talking excitedly, heard that her son was hungry. She looked at her son who had just returned from the military camp with a distressed face and asked someone to set the food.

During the meal, Prince Han talked about the interesting things that had happened in the court recently.

For example: When Xie Jin was in college, he was imprisoned, drank too much, and froze to death in the snow!

The court officials were very pessimistic about the two wives that the Crown Prince had married! The Crown Prince clearly favored the Crown Prince's Consort and ignored the Crown Prince's Consort. This was likely to cause instability in the Crown Prince's harem!

And his mother, Wei, also told an interesting story. The maidservant beside the Crown Prince's wife had been replaced. It was said that she had drowned after drinking! While she was speaking, Princess Wei looked at her precious son with a deep expression.

At the same time, she looked at her husband, Prince Han, meaningfully, and felt that her husband, Prince Han, was so far-sighted!

Finally, Princess Wei asked why she hadn't seen her adopted brother Wei Jizhong recently, but was fooled by Zhu Zhanhe.

In fact, Uncle Wei’s main task now is to stay in Xuanwu Lake and take good care of the Alligator King. He feeds pigs, dogs, cows and sheep in turn every day, which is indeed very hard work.
