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

Chapter 119 Grandpa, you’ve done enough!

Emperor Yongle looked at his grandson in front of him with an expression of disbelief, he was very surprised and even a little embarrassed.

“Who are you talking about?
Me? I'm atoning for my sins?!

What sins am I atoning for?

I don't!
I am the emperor today!
I don't need atonement!
Tell me, what sin am I redeeming?
Who do I need to atone for my sins?! "Emperor Yongle quickly came to Zhu Zhanhe, put his hands on his hips, tightly grasped the golden belt around his waist, raised his head, stared with wide eyes, and loudly refuted.

Zhu Zhanhe looked at the somewhat embarrassed and angry Emperor Yongle and couldn't help but sigh: Old child, old child, what you said is really right!
Looking at Emperor Yongle's current expression, isn't he acting like a child whose secrets have been revealed?
"Grandpa, I know you've always felt guilty. That's why you've been trying to prove yourself all your life!
Because you feel sorry for Emperor Taizu Gao! You feel that you won't be able to face him after a hundred years! You don't know how to explain to your father!

You feel that you have let down Emperor Xiaokang! You feel that even after a hundred years, you will not be able to explain to this former big brother!

You feel that you have let down Empress Xiaoci, and that you will not be able to explain to your mother even after a hundred years!
You feel you've let Grandma down! You're worried about seeing Grandma atoning for your sins a hundred years from now!" Zhu Zhanhe's words directly shattered Emperor Yongle's iron-hard shell!

“How do you know?!
What else do you know?!" Emperor Yongle stared at Zhu Zhanhe intently, his voice trembling, and even tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.

"Grandpa, you work so hard to prove yourself so that a hundred years from now, you can properly face those people you think you can't face!

So, Grandpa, you sent Ma Bao to the West!

You create a cabinet! Restore the Inspectorate!
You personally conquered the northern desert! Plundered the enemy court three times!

You conquered Annan! You compiled the Yongle Encyclopedia!

You develop water conservancy projects and reduce taxes!

You even dredged the canals!
You just want to prove that you have done a good job and that you have lived up to the position after you seized the throne!
You did better than anyone else!" Zhu Zhanhe's words made Emperor Yongle's eyes tremble with fear. He turned his head away and didn't look at his grandson.

Emperor Yongle never thought that the person who understood him the most was the eldest grandson of the Hanwang family!
"Grandpa, you want to use your life's achievements to erase the sins you have committed.

Just like Emperor Taizong of Tang, the first thing people think of when they recall him is the Heavenly Khan, not the usurper Li Er!

You also want it this way, so that when people remember you, what comes to mind is your achievements, not that you are a usurper!
You did it, Grandpa.

And you did a great job!
The Tang Dynasty has a history of seven or eight hundred years. Grandpa, you are the only one who can be compared with Emperor Taizong of Tang!
The last person to have all nations come to pay tribute was Emperor Taizong of Tang! And now it's you! You've also got all nations to come to pay tribute, Grandpa!
Even the population of my Ming Dynasty has exceeded 60 million, grandpa.

You can be said to be the number one emperor in the Central Plains in the past thousand years since Emperor Taizong of Tang, Grandpa!

It is no exaggeration to say that you are the greatest emperor of all time!
You can relax, relax! Grandpa!
You have enough confidence to face those doubts!

You also have enough confidence to face Emperor Taizu Gao! Empress Xiaoci! Emperor Xiaokang! And my grandmother, Empress Renxiao! "Zhu Zhanhe looked at Emperor Yongle, who had his back to him. His lonely figure made people feel sorry for this elderly man! So Zhu Zhanhe began to persuade this elderly and lonely man.

"He'er, you are better than your father!" After a long time, Emperor Yongle turned his head and carefully looked at the burly and strong grandson in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Grandpa, you are too kind!" Zhu Zhanhe looked at Emperor Yongle with red eyes and felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, grandpa will tell you something happy!
You are not a child anymore. Last time your father said that it is time for you to get married.

Grandpa, I asked Hu Shangyi to look for it in every household for you.

I've really found a suitable candidate! "Emperor Yongle changed the subject. He didn't want to dwell too much on the previous topic! After all, it was his sad story!

But Emperor Yongle knew in his heart that this grandson in front of him was really a shrewd person who knew everything! So he decided to continue testing him!
Why didn't I see this kid was so shrewd before? Or is he hiding it so well? "Since it was Grandpa who arranged the marriage, I will naturally follow Grandpa's arrangements on this matter!

"Grandson also believes in grandfather's vision!" Zhu Zhanhe was also stunned after hearing what Emperor Yongle said. It's only been a few days, and they found it? So fast?! Is it unreliable?!
"Grandpa will tell you some news first, but this person's family has some minor problems right now.

Grandpa wants to ask for your opinion first! "Emperor Yongle looked at Zhu Zhanhe awkwardly, feeling that he was a little embarrassed to speak about the person he mentioned.

"Grandpa, please tell me. I also want to know who it is that could make you so embarrassed!" Zhu Zhanhe looked at the somewhat embarrassed face of Emperor Yongle, and his heart skipped a beat. Could he be an unreliable person?

"The former Minister of Revenue, Xia Yuanji, has a legitimate daughter at home. She's about your age, with a great figure and appearance! She's a perfect match for your physique!"

I asked Hu Shangyi to take a look at it herself, and we also compared their horoscopes in advance, and they seem quite compatible!" Emperor Yongle felt a little embarrassed when he talked about Xia Yuanji. After all, Xia Yuanji had already been confiscated by him!

However, that girl is really good and is a perfect match for his grandson. After all, not every girl can tolerate the boy's physique!

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Emperor Yongle with a strange expression, feeling confused.

"Grandpa, you are right, right? Xia Yuanji is the biological daughter of Minister Xia?!" Zhu Zhanhe looked at Emperor Yongle in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes, she is his biological daughter. What do you think? Are you willing?" Emperor Yongle's eyes sparkled as he stared at Zhu Zhanhe seriously.

"Grandpa, have you really decided on Minister Xia's family? Is his family going to marry into the Han Palace?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at Emperor Yongle in confusion, full of suspicion.

"Why, you don't want to? Are you disgusted by their property being confiscated?" There was a strange tone in Emperor Yongle's words.

"Grandpa, my father and I have already decided to go to the fiefdom! Why do you still give my father such hope?
Today, you let your grandson preside over the military exercise of the five military camps, and rewarded me in front of all the military officers?
Now, are you going to push even Minister Xia, who is used to show favor to the future emperor, to the side of the Prince of Han's Palace?

Minister Xia is the backbone of the country, proficient in water conservancy and financial management!
Grandpa has been fighting for years now, so when uncle takes the throne, he must focus on recuperation!

A pillar of the country like Minister Xia must be a powerful weapon for the country!
Grandpa, you have confiscated Minister Xia's property but not exiled him. Isn't it obvious that you want your successor to show him kindness, subdue his heart, and use him for the country's benefit?

What if Minister Xia marries into the Han Palace?

A veteran like him who had experienced the Hongwu, Jianwen, and Yongle dynasties, wouldn't he be tied directly to the Han Palace's ship! ?

"Grandpa! What are you afraid of?" Zhu Zhanhe stared into the eyes of Emperor Yongle and said something hesitantly that shocked the emperor.

"You can actually see that? Then tell me, what am I afraid of?" After hearing what Zhu Zhanhe said, Emperor Yongle was shocked and stunned with his eyes wide open. After a moment, Emperor Yongle came to his senses and continued to ask.

"Haha~ Grandpa is afraid of my uncle!

I’m afraid that given my uncle’s health condition, he may not live longer than you!

I'm worried that if something goes wrong with my uncle, my dad will have his own plans! My eldest brother won't be able to stop him!
So, you have to be prepared for both situations!

Really? Grandpa? "Zhu Zhanhe said the answer in his heart in a positive tone.

"Why aren't you the boss?!" Emperor Yongle was shocked by Zhu Zhanhe's words again for a while, and looked at Zhu Zhanhe with complicated eyes.

Finally, he sighed deeply and murmured something.
