On the way back from Huagai Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know more and asked with concern:
"And what is the current situation in Korea and China?"
Zhu Zhanyong answered as he walked: "The second emperor's uncle fought in many places in his early years. Wu Xun supported him. My father stayed in Beiping Mansion with his frailty and old illness. He just went south to the capital a month ago and was awarded the title of prince. The emperor's favorite son is me." Brother Zhu Zhanji, my status in the palace is as great as the Grandfather sees it."
Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent.
The gentle voice like an elder sighed with emotion: "You are a very transparent person. This palace is really big."
We get along often from now on, but people still don’t fully recognize me.
Zhu Zhanyong stopped and said with a smile: "Six of you, Xian Zhanyong is really difficult to distinguish, and you don't want to reveal your identity, why not line up in order?
"I call the six of them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and Lu. From now on, the six of them will call themselves this way. What do you think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead in supporting his great-grandson: "We are the emperor, so naturally we cannot submit to others. We want to be number one."
The Yan voice said coldly: "Why are you number one? My talents and achievements are no less than yours!"
The voice that sounded like an elder's spring breeze smoothed things over: "It doesn't matter to you, please don't hurt your kindness. Such trivial matters are really not worth mentioning."
Another one, slightly younger, laughed with a voice he had never heard before: "I thought this was brought up by Zhan Yong, so I might as well let him decide."
Everyone was silent, this was actually a test.
If Zhu Zhanyong cannot convince everyone, he will inevitably feel depressed.
Zhu Zhanyong unconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Let's go by the order in which you came out. Although Grandpa Huang is my closest relative, he was indeed the first one to come out and the one who cared about me the most. So, Emotion over reason should be ranked first."
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart melted when he heard this. He is indeed our great grandson.
The other wise men all fell silent.
When it comes to ability, no one will be convinced by anyone.
Lao Zhu came to the rescue for his grandson: "Our grandson is right. It's not because I took advantage of you. I was the first to come out and love our grandson the most. If you are not convinced, just stop showing up."
Zhu Yuanzhang obviously understood Xiao Jiujiu in the hearts of everyone.
My grandson was manipulated at every step.
Can't back down!
The voice that sounded like the spring breeze of an elder laughed: "I agree, peace is the most precious thing, there is no need to fight anymore."
Zhu Zhanyong liked Lao Zhu the most, and secondly, his gentle and elder-like voice, which quietly helped him resolve his embarrassment and brought everyone together in one place.
"Then I'll give it a shout out, now I'm in fifth place."
A voice that had never spoken before, and a smile that was a bit playful.
Zhu Zhanyong knew that they came online in different dynasties and should have accents, but it seemed that they had been corrected and all they spoke was the official dialect of the court.
He felt a little calmer.
Finally, the princes were appeased, and everyone agreed that Zhu Yuanzhang was ranked first, the man with a smoky voice was ranked second, the elder-like man with a spring breeze was ranked third, and the slightly younger man was ranked fourth. The serious but joking man ranked fifth, and the man who had not spoken yet ranked sixth.
1: "Zhan Yong, give us the details of the prisoner, and I will ask the Jin Yiwei to find him and slaughter all nine of his clans to vent your anger!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was in the Hongwu Dynasty, and Hongwu was only about ten years ago. The eunuch must have been born in his old age. Zhu Zhanyong had just defended him like this, so Lao Zhu naturally wanted to vent his anger on his grandson's behalf.
Zhu style pampering is the most deadly!
Zhu Zhanyong felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart, but he refused: "The emperor's grandfather killed an eunuch Sheng, and there were other eunuchs. The eunuch did not dare to insult his brother, because his brother was favored by the emperor's grandfather, but he dared to insult me and Father, killing one will not help."
1: "What do you want?"
Zhu Zhanyong smiled calmly: "Sun Chen wants to remove all the eunuchs from the palace."
1234 Wu Lu fell silent.
From what they had just seen and heard, it was not difficult for them to piece together the situation of Zhu Zhanyong. The emperor's grandson had just arrived in the capital and wanted to replace all the eunuchs in the palace at one go.
Among them are many eunuchs from the twelve yamen in the palace.
Unless it's the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not want his grandson to lose face, so he said coldly: "Give us the names of these people, and we will kill them all for you!"
He could pick up the thorns for Zhu Biao, and naturally he could pick up the thorns for Zhu Zhanyong.
Most of these eunuchs were eunuchs from Prince Yan's Palace. Executing eunuchs from Prince Yan's Palace was just a matter of words for Lao Zhu.
Grandpa is so powerful...
He must change the eunuchs in the palace. Zhu Zhanyong knew that they would target the King of Han over trivial matters.
All Zhu Di saw was Zhu Zhanji. If he was not the direct eldest son, it would be useless to complain about this matter.
Zhu Zhanyong shook his head: "My grandson said it, so of course he won't trouble Grandpa Huang."
Everyone is waiting to see what happens.
Zhu Zhanyong calmed down his mind.
As he slowly walked down the steps of the Huagai Hall, Zhang Jiu stood beside him and grabbed him in a daze: "Your Highness, this is the direction of Ouchi."
"Take me to the Yamen in Ouchi."
Zhang Jiu looked around cautiously with a worried face, and whispered with some fear: "Your Highness, if you have anything to do in the palace, my servant can handle it for you?"
"Lead the way, don't worry, I am reasonable and will not hit them."
Zhang Jiu hesitated for a moment, then bowed and obediently led the way.
The inner court is located in the northwest corner of the imperial city, and there is no fixed duty room yet. Most of the eunuchs meet at the residence of the ceremonial supervisor and the seal supervisor.
Not far away, we arrived at a courtyard densely populated by eunuchs, surrounded by young eunuchs. When they saw Zhu Zhanyong, he hurriedly put down what he was doing and bowed to salute.
Zhu Zhanyong entered the main hall of the Zhangyin Prison and saw many high officers taking a nap here:
"My grandson wants to see Zheng He."
Just now they were talking about Zhu Zhanyong's beating. The old eunuchs looked at each other in confusion. After a long time, the young eunuch cautiously said: "Your Highness, Eunuch Zheng has been summoned to Fengtian Palace."
…
In the Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Di sat calmly on the throne. Opposite the chessboard was the equally calm Zheng He. Zhu Di had great ambitions in his heart to surpass Genghis Khan and establish a world where all nations would come to dynasty.
"How are the preparations for the fleet going south?"
This was Zheng He's first voyage to the West.
Zheng He nodded: "The warships, horse ships and grain ships are ready, and the helmsmen and sentries for raising and lowering the anchors and sails are training. However, officials in the DPRK and China continue to impeach ministers and obstruct this matter."
The voyage to the West cost a lot of money.
It was a thankless effort, and the civil servants did not want the court to spend extravagant money, so they sent letters every day to advise on this matter.
"Ignore them!" Zhu Di picked up the black chess piece and placed it in a voice that was unquestionable.
Zheng He said yes. Hongwu stipulated that future generations were not allowed to go to sea. This move was to abolish the ancestral system. Not everyone has the courage.
He admired Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Treasure ships are all built to imitate canal ships. If they encounter strong winds and waves, there is a hidden danger of them capsizing."
"I must want the West!" Zhu Di's face was calm and he expressed his determination word by word.
Returning to the Supervisor of Ceremony's duty room, Zheng He was about to prepare his horse and go to the Songjiang Mansion Shipyard for inspection, but he saw the young eunuch approaching in two or two steps: "Your Majesty, a noble man has summoned you."
"Who in the palace wants to see me?"
"This is His Highness Zhan Yong."
Zheng He entered the side room of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, which was dedicated to pondering ship plans, when he saw a figure with his back to him, looking at the ship plans on the wall.
"I have met His Highness Zhan Yong in this humble position!" This chapter has been completed!
