Seeing Zhu Zhanji enter, Zhu Di sighed and said,""Your father is so benevolent!"
It was not easy for Zhu Gaochi to receive such an evaluation from Emperor Yong Le!
Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh at himself,"There's actually such a freak in the royal family."”
Zhu Zhanji also felt that his father was truly benevolent, but his son did not find his father ugly. He stepped forward and said,""I heard that the great ancestor also praised father for being honest. Grandpa, is this true?”
Zhu Di smiled. Back then, when Imperial Father sent the eldest sons of all the vassal kings to the capital to study, only your father was praised by Imperial Father. Your second uncle couldn't do it. He caused trouble and was mischievous. Imperial Father was so angry that he beat and scolded him!”
Zhu Zhanji saw that his grandfather was thinking seriously and couldn't help but reveal a proud smile. Back then, the great ancestor had already expressed who would be the crown prince. It was just that Zhu Di wasn't appointed as the crown prince at that time. Otherwise, the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely make Zhu Gaochi his great grandson!
Zhu Di couldn't stop reminiscing about the past. He sat by the Hu bed and said with tears in his eyes," Recently, I've been dreaming of your great-grandmother. I dreamed that she was beaten by your great-grandfather. He said that she gave birth to a disloyal and unfilial son. Your great-grandmother called for help from me, but I…I couldn't do anything. I could only watch. Later, your great-grandfather took a sword and slashed me…"
"Grandpa!"
Zhu Zhanji supported his grandfather. Right now, he was just an old man who was afraid of death. However, since the first emperor, he was the only emperor who liked to use the word 'I'.
Zhu Di forced back his tears and waved his hand with a smile."Grandfather is fine, sigh! Your great-grandmother suffered in the underworld and gave birth to this disloyal and unfilial son, but I…I can't even give her a title!”
"Grandpa!"
Zhu Zhanji knew what Zhu Di was talking about. Because he did not get the throne properly, Zhu Di turned his mother into Empress Ma and even wrote it down in the history books. This was letting down his original mother. He took a deep breath and said,"I think Grandpa is wrong!"
Zhu Di looked at his grandson and said,"Do you also think that Grandpa's rebellion was wrong?"”
Zhu Zhanji shook his head."Grandpa, it is only right and proper for you to raise an army. I feel that Grandpa's thinking is wrong. Who does Jianwen Emperor think he is? He doesn't know how to fight, but he can't tolerate people who know how to fight. He took away Grandpa's throne and military power. Who will guard the Great Wall? He doesn't care about the safety of the world for his own selfish interests. What right does he have to be the emperor? Although the world belongs to our Zhu family, it is also the habitat of countless Li people. Grandpa only had a few people in Jingnan, but he only used four years to attack the capital. If Grandpa doesn't resist, If he was killed by Jianwen Emperor, how could Jianwen Emperor resist the invasion of the foreign races? At that time, Zhongzhou would be in turmoil, China would fall, and the people of the world would suffer the hardships of the foreign races…"
After saying it in one breath, Zhu Zhanji was much happier. Even though Emperor Jian Wen was wronged, he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. Even though Emperor Yong Le usurped power and rebelled, he still admired him!
Zhu Di was already stunned. He did not expect his grandson to have such rebellious thoughts!
Zhu Zhanji added," Grandpa, I'm not saying this to please you. It's all from the bottom of my heart. Whether you blame me or scold me, I'll bear all the responsibility. If I were Emperor Jianwen…"
"Speak!" Zhu Di's heart moved.
Zhu Zhanji enunciated each word clearly." If your grandson was Jianwen and was chased off the throne by someone like grandfather, there would be nothing to complain about. If I can't do it myself, then someone else will do it!"”
Zhu Di said angrily,"If it was someone with his surname, would you be willing to give up the country?"”
"No!" Zhu Zhanji said.
"Why?" Zhu Di asked.
Zhu Zhanji smiled." I'm not Jianwen. I can't do something like Jianwen destroying the Great Wall. Even if I do, I'll destroy it after I build a new Great Wall. I won't give Grandpa a chance to rebel!"”
"Hahaha…"
Zhu Di laughed heartily, as if he had poured out all the depression in his heart, becoming the awe-inspiring Emperor Yongle. After laughing, he praised,"Well said! Good grandson! With your words, Grandpa feels much better!”
"Grandpa, I think the future generations will have a better evaluation of you than Li Shimin!" Zhu Zhanji said.”
Zhu Di shook his head." You don't have to comfort Grandpa. How can I compare myself to Li Shimin?"”
Emperor Yongle!
Tang Taizong!
Can't we compare?
Zhu Zhanji's soul came from the 21st century, so he had a better understanding of both worlds. Li Shimin had snatched the position of his brother, Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng was not a muddle-headed master. It could be said that without Li Shimin, the Tang Empire would not be much worse. However, the Ming Dynasty was different. If Zhu Yunwen worked for a few more years, who knew what the Ming Dynasty would become? Zhu Di had five northern expeditions, but he had not been able to completely eliminate the grassland tribes. Decades later, it had even caused the tragedy of Tumu Fortress!
Without Zhu Di moving the capital to Beijing, at least half of the Ming Dynasty would have fallen.
Judging from the overall achievements of China, Zhu Di was not inferior to Li Shimin!
The more Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji, the more he felt that he was like himself when he was young. It was like a reincarnation. He sighed and said,"Right now, there are only a few things that I can't let go of. The first is to move the capital. The second is that Ma He is coming back. Once the tribute of all countries is done, the name 'Yongle Prosperity' will be worthy of its name. The third is your wedding. The fourth is Emperor Jianwen.”
Zhu Zhanji blurted out,"Grandpa, I promise you that I will bring you news of Emperor Jianwen within three days!"”
Zhu Di's body trembled as if he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. He immediately said seriously,"Three days! This is a military pledge. You can't go back on your word!”
Zhu Zhanji was speechless.
Damn it!
Grandpa, you didn't act so gentle just now to fool me, did you?
This was really his biological grandfather!
