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

Chapter 120 Boss, He'er is a good boy!

Emperor Yongle looked at the boy from the second son's family in disbelief, his eyes full of astonishment and regret.

"You know everything?" Emperor Yongle stared at Zhu Zhanhe in astonishment, but still asked softly.

"Grandpa, history always repeats itself. After Emperor Taizong of Tang appointed the crown prince, didn't he also dote on Prince of Wei, Li Tai? Isn't this also a choice?"
Or like Emperor Taizu Gao, in order to avoid such a choice, he directly purged the court to facilitate Emperor Jianwen's succession to the throne. These things are all traceable!

Grandpa’s approach can be understood by his grandson!

But, my grandson wants to say, I don’t have such thoughts now!
Maybe in grandpa’s view, if something happened to uncle, eldest brother would not be able to control the situation!
And my father has absolute prestige in the army! He has the ability to rebel!

Besides, my appearance has given you hope again!
Just like the cooperation between you and uncle! My father is the most like you, and from what you have seen so far, I guess I might do better than uncle!

So, this is another perfect cooperation between a civil official and a military official! Just like the cooperation between you and your uncle! This way, at least it can ensure that the court will not be in chaos!
And the reason why you didn’t choose my dad directly!

It's for the sake of an orderly inheritance for future generations! You're worried that after my father takes the throne, those descendants will emulate you, or emulate my father!
This caused chaos in the inheritance of our Ming Dynasty and even the end of our national destiny!

As for Third Uncle, he was never considered by Grandpa, was he? "Zhu Zhanhe looked at the elderly Emperor Yongle and couldn't help but feel distressed.

This elderly man has spent his entire life trying to make up for his past mistakes! He has devoted all his energy and effort to this end!

Even now, at his old age, he still dares not relax even a little bit, fearing that he might make a wrong move and let his descendants make the same mistake as him!

"Then do you think your elder brother can accomplish anything?!" Emperor Yongle was stunned and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. However, when Emperor Yongle asked about Zhu Zhanji, there was some confusion in his eyes.

Emperor Yongle was truly unsure. If, a hundred years later, his eldest son's body was as frail as before, and if his eldest son also passed away, would that brat Zhanji be able to withstand the attack of the Prince of Han? Furthermore, there was this terrifying little fellow before him!
"Grandpa, my elder brother has been trained by you since he was young, so he must be good at both civil and military affairs! In addition, my uncle has been in charge of the court for many years. If there is an accident, with the help of all the officials, my elder brother will be fine!" Zhu Zhanhe answered his thoughts truthfully.

"But you have forgotten yourself, He'er!
Your father has you by his side, but can your elder brother handle it?!" Emperor Yongle stared intently at his grandson, his sharp eyes gleaming with brilliance.

"If I'm included, Big Brother will naturally be unstoppable!

Even if my uncle is added, there's no way the two of them can stop me!" Zhu Zhanhe spoke openly about his own strength, which made Emperor Yongle stare at him in disbelief.

"You have such an idea?!" Emperor Yongle looked at his towering grandson in front of him and couldn't help but be a little surprised. He really wanted to know where this kid got the courage from!
"I know what Grandpa wants to say. My uncle has been running the court for many years and has considerable influence!
However, in the face of absolute power, everything is illusory!

As for where does my grandson get such courage!
Grandpa, you will know later!" Zhu Zhanhe's words made Emperor Yongle's eyelids twitch.

"However, for now, I have no such ambition. Even if I have such an idea in the future, I will make a name for myself with my own abilities!

Instead of coming back to seize the kingdom from his family!" Zhu Zhanhe expressed his true thoughts. This made Emperor Yongle stunned!
"You want to claim yourself as the ancestor of your clan and establish your own country?!" Emperor Yongle was speechless when he saw the arrogant look of the young man in front of him.

"No, Grandpa, I just want to go out to sea! So I want you to support me with some big ships!
The Central Plains is a picturesque land, so my grandson should go out and cause trouble to others," Zhu Zhanhe said to the astonished Emperor Yongle with a smile.

"You just want to go to sea?!" Emperor Yongle asked seriously.

"Go to the fiefdom and then go out to sea!" Zhu Zhanhe said seriously while looking at Emperor Yongle.

In fact, Zhu Zhanhe's idea was to go to his fiefdom and then sail out to sea. The sky is high and the sea is vast, so where is not his fiefdom?! It is much more beautiful than now!

"Does your father agree? Although he promised me to go to a fiefdom, do you think he will really go?" Emperor Yongle looked at his grandson who seemed to have enough cards in his hand and continued to ask. "When the time comes, I will take my mother and all my brothers and sisters away!

Grandpa, believe me, if we all leave, my dad will follow us!

Unless…” Zhu Zhanhe looked at Emperor Yongle, hesitating whether to remind him of his uncle’s health condition again.

"Unless what?" Emperor Yongle looked at Zhu Zhanhe with interest and asked.

"Unless something happens between you and my uncle before we leave. In that case, my father will definitely try again!" Zhu Zhanhe said seriously while looking at Emperor Yongle.

After hearing what Zhu Zhanhe said, Emperor Yongle was stunned, and then he realized that if his body and his boss's body could not bear it, something really would go wrong!

"We, grandfather and grandson, have been chatting for a long time. Go back and tell your father and mother that the girl from the Xia family is pretty good! If they have no objection, I will make her the one!" Emperor Yongle began to drive people away.

"Yes, I will explain it in detail to my father and mother when I go back! Grandson, take your leave!" Zhu Zhanhe responded to Emperor Yongle's words and prepared to leave.

"Let your uncle and elder brother come in!" Zhu Zhanhe was about to go out when Emperor Yongle suddenly spoke.

"Yes!" After hearing what Emperor Yongle said, Zhu Zhanhe realized that Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji had been waiting at the door for a long time. It was because of the conversation with him that Emperor Yongle dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs and asked the crown prince and grandson to wait outside.

"I've met uncle!"

"Brother, grandpa wants you and uncle to come in!" Zhu Zhanhe pushed the door open and saw Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji waiting at the door, so he hurried forward to greet them.

"Zhanhe, is your grandpa done with his work?" Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi also greeted his nephew enthusiastically and asked.

"To answer your uncle's question, Grandpa is looking for me to arrange a marriage for me.

My eldest brother has already chosen a concubine, and I'm not a child anymore, so my father asked Grandpa for help. We were just talking about this. Why don't you let me go back and discuss it with my parents!

"Uncle, please come in quickly." Zhu Zhanhe looked at the chubby Crown Prince and responded politely, while Zhu Zhanji on the side was a little cold.

"Then you should go back soon," the prince was still very enthusiastic.

"My nephew is leaving." Zhu Zhanhe saluted Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi again and turned to leave.

"You kid!" Seeing his nephew leave, Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi complained to his son in a bad mood, expressing his dissatisfaction with Zhu Zhanji's lack of closeness with his brothers.

"Dad!" Pushing the door open, Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi knelt down and saluted Emperor Yongle. Zhu Zhanji also knelt down and saluted.

"Boss, get up. I know what you're going to say!
Listen to me first! "Emperor Yongle looked at his chubby son in front of him and felt very distressed. He asked the two of them to get up quickly.
"Boss, He'er is a good kid!

I'm going to arrange a marriage for him! You can't blame me!

He asked me to go out to sea on a big ship again today!
The Prince of Han's Mansion is also packing up its belongings and preparing to move to the vassal state!
He'er told me that if the second brother didn't go to the fiefdom, he would take everyone else to the fiefdom!
Then he went out to sea on his own!
He must ensure that the secret will never be leaked!" Emperor Yongle looked at the chubby prince and said something that left Prince Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji dumbfounded.

Yes, in the eyes of Emperor Yongle, Zhu Zhanhe went to sea in order to keep the secret that was related to the survival of the Ming Dynasty and would never leak out!
If not, wouldn't Yunnan be much better than the barbarian lands overseas?!
