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

Chapter 69: When working for the Emperor, one must naturally spare no effort!
When Prince Han said that the Emperor had made him regent, the entire room fell into silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a while.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!" Princess Han had an incredible look on her face. She stood up excitedly and quickly came to Prince Han. She looked at him admiringly, her eyes full of twinkling little stars, and she was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.

"Congratulations, Dad, for getting what he wanted!" Zhu Zhanhe was also shocked. Although he had guessed it before, he was still very excited when it really happened. After all, the power of the entire country was in the hands of Prince Han. If you don't consider unexpected factors, then the future is in his hands!

Although Zhu Zhanhe thought about becoming a vassal all day long, what man could resist the temptation of "receiving the mandate from heaven, and living a long and prosperous life"? ! !

"I don't know, what is Dad going to do next?" Zhu Zhanhe was very curious about what his father, Prince Han, was going to do next?
After all, judging from the current situation, the backbone of the prince's lineage has been imprisoned, and all the officials of the prince's mansion have been implicated. It can be said that there is a huge vacancy in the current court.

Of course, in Zhu Zhanhe's view, Yongle took down all the people of the prince's lineage in order to protect them.

This is another test for Prince Han, to test his ability to govern!

No matter from which perspective, Zhu Zhanhe felt that this was a test and an opportunity for Prince Han from Emperor Yongle, and probably also a compensation for cheating Prince Han out of his money.

"It's okay. Now that the Prime Minister has been imprisoned, my words can flow freely in the court. Moreover, the court has its own laws. I just need to focus on the general direction!" Prince Han also understood what it meant to hold great power and knew how to focus on the big issues and let go of the small ones.

But what Prince Han didn't know was that he only knew how to spend money and had no in-depth understanding of how the court operated, which was to spend money to get things done!
The imperial court was now seriously short of money due to Emperor Yongle's continuous wars! That's why Prince Han had an opportunity to ascend to the throne!
"Uh~?" Zhu Zhanhe was also bewildered after hearing what Prince Han said. How could it be so simple? Otherwise, his uncle's health wouldn't have been exhausted from decades of regency!
"Father, although some officials in the cabinet have been imprisoned, they have not committed any substantial faults. Why don't you ask them about some government affairs when the time comes?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at his father, Prince Han's face when he said this. Noticing that Prince Han's face was not right, he quickly changed the subject. After all, Prince Han, who was in high spirits, would not necessarily listen to the words of some prisoners in prison.

"Dad, why don't you promote some officials to do the work?" Zhu Zhanhe suggested that Prince Han should also train his own officials?

In fact, Zhu Zhanhe also knew that this request was even more unreliable. After all, the officials of the Han Palace were all in the Yunnan fiefdom. How could they be promoted at this moment? He said this just to save the face of the Han Prince.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhanhe thought that perhaps it was because of this that Emperor Yongle allowed Prince Han to ascend to the throne because he knew that Prince Han could not cause any trouble.

After all, even if you do something wrong, there are a lot of officials in the imperial prison to clean up the mess!

A sure-win outcome?! Zhu Zhanhe suddenly felt a little sorry for his father.

"Don't worry about these things, I will handle them myself. I will ask General Manager Hu to move some of my frequently used items to the Shangshufang. I am the regent in the Shangshufang!

When I came back, I also told the people in the Clothing Bureau that my Regent's robe will be ready in the next two days." The Prince of Han said this with a look of complacency, and waved his sleeves, as if he had already put on the Regent's robe.

"I'll go pack up and move all my usual things to the Shangshufang!" Prince Han looked very proud, and after saying this, he walked away with his head held high.

"Mom, the imperial court has always been short of money. Dad is going to be the regent. Do you think he will take the family money to the treasury at a critical moment?

This will not only solve the court problem, but also show his face in front of grandpa, and it can also reflect his virtue of serving the country and the people! "Mom, do you think my dad would do this?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at the Han prince who left with high morale, with a helpless look on his face, then turned to look at his mother and said doubtfully.

"Ah? This... ? This is impossible?!" Princess Wei of Han was shocked when she heard what her son said, but her rebuttal was so weak. She knew clearly that if it really came to that time, her own Prince Han would definitely do this.

No! My son hasn't even gotten married yet! I have to keep the money safe! Princess Han made up her mind and made a decision.

"He'er is very thoughtful. I know what to do now." Princess Wei of Han looked at her son with satisfaction, and kept sighing in her heart: My He'er has really grown up!

Suddenly, Princess Wei of Han had another thought. "The Crown Prince... Bah! The eldest son of the eldest family is choosing a concubine. Now that my Prince Han is also regent, why not choose a concubine for my son as well? Wouldn't that be even better?"

The Princess of Han then thought more and more that it made sense, and she turned around and went to find Prince Han, leaving Zhu Zhanhe with a bewildered look on his face.

The next morning, Prince Han got up early.

"Son, I'm going to your uncle's house. Do you want to go?" Prince Han asked his son happily with his hands on his hips, followed by a large group of young eunuchs with their heads bowed.

"Dad, why are you going to my uncle's house so early in the morning? Shouldn't you go to the Shangshufang to handle government affairs?" Zhu Zhanhe rolled his eyes helplessly at his father. How could he not know that his father was going to show off to his uncle.

"I have something to tell your uncle. I'll also go to the Prince's Mansion and pick up all the financial, land, and population reports compiled by the Imperial Court.

Are you going or not? Or why don't you go and have a chat with your elder brother Zhanji? "Prince Han is not only showing off himself, but also bringing his son to show off!
"Dad, you go by yourself. I'm not well yet and it's not suitable for me to go out." Zhu Zhanhe rolled his eyes helplessly and rejected his father's suggestion.

"Okay then, I'll go by myself." Prince Han waved his hand with a look of regret, and then he went out first, followed by the eunuchs one by one...

Sure enough, at dusk the next day, Prince Han, dressed in a bright red dragon robe as the regent, returned to the Prince Han's mansion with a hearty smile on his face, walking without recognizing any relatives.

"Princess, He'er, you are all here." As soon as Prince Han entered the room, he saw his wife and children waiting for him. He then greeted them with a smile on his face.

"The Prince Regent is back!"

"Dad, come and have some tea and take a break!" Princess Wei and Zhu Zhanhe could feel the happiness of Prince Han.

"Princess, let me tell you, I have completed the first task assigned to me by the Emperor today, and I have also tricked the boss.
The emperor wants to expand the Shenji Camp, but there is not enough money on the books, more than 30,000 taels of silver. So I thought of a way to let the eldest and the third brother each take 10,000 taels, and my Hanwang Mansion will make up the rest!
When working for the Emperor, one must naturally spare no effort! " Prince Han looked proud and arrogant, but he didn't notice the astonished looks on his wife and son's faces.
