Chapter 2 Become the Navigation King of Ming Dynasty
Zhu Zhanzhen, who usually doesn't talk much, suddenly said something shocking today. Zhu Di, his fat father and several brothers were all surprised.
"Do you want to go to sea?" Zhu Di asked curiously.
"Yes, Grandpa Huang, I want to go to sea." Zhu Zhanchen expressed his inner thoughts unswervingly.
Zhu Di laughed loudly: "Very good, Zheng He."
"I'm here." The fair-faced man stepped forward and saluted.
"My grandson is also interested in maritime affairs. If he has any questions, requests or needs, please remember to take care of him."
"I obey the decree."
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
After Zhu Di walked away, his fat father came over with a slumped face: "You kid, you said that you want to go to sea, your majesty is happy. I will give you a test at that time. If you can't answer the answer,
Punishment is inevitable."
Zhu Gaochi is fat, but has a rosy complexion and looks quite blessed.
"Dad, Zhan Zhan is young and will be fine." Zhu Zhanji said something for his younger brother.
Zhu Gaochi stretched out a finger and nodded Zhu Zhanji with a slight frown: "You, you, don't be arrogant just because of your imperial grandfather's favor. All civil and military officials in the court are watching. Don't be rude in your words or actions, otherwise those learned veterans will
Wen Jinshi keeps it in mind that you, the great grandson, don’t know etiquette."
Zhu Zhanji, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, was a little impatient and expressed his worries on his face. Zhu Gaochi angrily wanted to hit him, but his wife stopped him.
Although Zhu Gaochi himself was fat, his wife was dignified and beautiful. The Zhang family in history was also a famous virtuous queen. At this time, Zhu Gaochi, who was stopped, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"A loving mother often fails, so remember not to be too kind to these children."
After Zhu Gaochi left, Mrs. Zhang looked at her children and said earnestly: "From now on, when you, the emperor, ask questions, just answer according to your heart, but you must respect etiquette and law, especially you, Zhanji, do you understand?"
?”
"Understood." Everyone replied in unison. They all respected their mother very much and could not have any rebellious thoughts.
After the activity of appreciating the "Qilin" was over, the ministers still had to discuss matters, and they, the emperor's grandsons, were naturally taken back to the East Palace.
As soon as he returned home, he was dragged to the school to study, but Zhu Zhanzhen's head was so crowded that even the ancient classroom was full of memorization, which was even harsher than the modern one.
He excused himself and left, followed by the little palace maid and the little eunuch chasing him all the way.
The little palace maid is named Chu'er when she is twelve or thirteen years old. She is pretty and cute. She is a beauty. The little eunuch is a little older. His real name is Zhuang. There is a scholar named Zhuang Sheng, but people here call him Xiaosheng.
Zhu Gaochi lived in the East Palace as the prince, and his heirs naturally lived with him. The prince had always been diligent and thrifty, so the arrangement of eunuchs and maids was even a bit shabby. Except for Zhu Zhanji, the other princes all had one maid and one eunuch, and they shared meals with each other.
Several together.
In the prosperous age of Yongle, the country was rich and the people were strong. Not to mention the princes and nobles, they were the young ladies from wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, followed by several maids and servants. The configuration of the East Palace was really too simple.
Only Zhu Zhanji's courtyard has twelve palace maids, eight eunuchs, a small kitchen and a sedan chair, which are fully equipped. As a good holy grandson, these are naturally rewarded by Emperor Yongle, and his fat father cannot reduce them.
No ability to reduce.
Zhu Zhanzhen found a deserted place in the imperial garden, climbed up a tree and lay down. Chu'er and Xiaosheng below remembered to shout in a low voice, but did not dare to shout loudly for fear of being overheard. In case the prince punished his master, he himself
Neither of them could run away.
Unable to shout, the two of them had no choice but to stand guard under the tree.
Zhu Zhanzhen was lying on a thick branch. The scenery in the Imperial Garden was indeed excellent. The air in ancient times was good, the weather was not too hot, and it was very comfortable.
"Hey." Zhu Zhanchen sighed: "Now that I'm back, I can't just do nothing."
Zhu Zhanzhen was struggling at this time. According to his own wishes, he wanted to be the Prince of Anle, but when he thought about the history behind him, he couldn't help but sigh.
The demise of the Ming Dynasty, the invasion of the Qing Dynasty, the Opium War, and a century of humiliation. He didn't want his nation to suffer these tragic experiences, so he had to do something now that he was back.
"Since you have become a chosen child... eh, a young man... eh, it should be called a young man, then you cannot watch the fall of the Ming Dynasty."
In the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty, it is still early, but many things cannot be done until the disadvantages have been accumulated for a long time. Changes must be made from the beginning.
In modern times, because some people question the heavy investment in aerospace, a very famous saying has appeared: "We blame our ancestors for losing the sea six hundred years ago. Do we want our descendants to blame us for losing the starry sky?"
The sea is a very critical factor. The Ming Dynasty was at the peak of its national power. Zheng He's voyages to the West were a good start, but the beginning was also the end. Later generations never conquered the sea. Instead, Japanese pirates continued to harass our coast.
Starting from the loss of the sea, we lost the big ship leading to a more prosperous era. The hundred years of humiliation are extremely painful. No matter what happens to this big ship this time, I must sit on it and become its helmsman.
Zhu Zhanzhen himself also understood that he was not a person with a pioneering spirit and could not become a pioneer.
But give me a copy of the homework association, give me a Ming Dynasty with great national power, and it would be too shameful if it could not do one-tenth of the achievements of the sages who saved the world and the people in the suffering.
And instead of using one-tenth, one-hundredth is enough.
"Zhan Zhen, come down quickly." A strong male voice came. He lowered his head and looked down, but it was his second uncle, the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu.
The King of Han had a strong figure. Among the three brothers, he looked most like Zhu Di, although he was certainly not as similar as his nephew Zhu Zhanji.
"Second uncle." Zhu Zhanzhen greeted him warmly and ran away in a flash. In his memory, the relationship between the King of Han and himself was still good.
Although the King of Han and his father did not deal with each other, he treated his nephews except Zhu Zhanji well, but it was sad that he ended up with the second uncle in the barbecue.
"You kid, why did you climb the tree?"
"You can see the entire palace from this tree."
Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be recalling something, with a longing look on his face: "Yes, I used to skip class and climb this tree."
He patted Zhu Zhanzhen's head again: "Go back to school quickly."
"Second Uncle, it's not like you didn't go to class before. It's more powerful to lead troops in war."
"Because of this, the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty now say that I am too violent, and they bring out a large section of literary classics that are difficult to read to denounce me. Sometimes I can't even understand the allusions they say. I went home and looked up the classics.
The next day I wanted to go back and someone came up with a new word, and I had nowhere to use it, which was the most uncomfortable thing."
Zhu Zhanzhen asked back: "Second uncle, they are so hateful, why should we learn from them?"
"Boy, do you know what's the most disgusting thing?"
"where?"
"It's too much to scold."
The black thread on Zhu Zhanzhen's head was actually what worried his second uncle the most.
"No matter what, they can't beat the second uncle."
The King of Han was stunned for a moment and then smiled: "You kid is right. You don't have to pay for scolding someone, but you have to pay for hitting someone. Your second uncle and I are just a vassal king and I don't have enough money. It's not like your father who is in charge of such an old man's money."
"
"Second uncle, doesn't the feudal lord have enough money?"
"Just marrying two or three wives and having three or four children is enough, but too many will not be enough."
"Second uncle, you will be blessed to have many children."
In the end, Zhu Zhanzhen was taken back to class by Chu'er and Xiaosheng. He just came out of the Imperial Garden and faced Zheng He.
"Your Highness."
"Master Zheng, what a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence, I was waiting for His Highness specially."
