After the Nanyang countries paid tribute, Emperor Zhu Di summoned Zheng He alone in Yangxin Hall.
Zhu Zhanji sneaked in to find an opportunity to talk to Zheng He alone, but his grandfather Zhu Di summoned the envoy of the Adan Kingdom. Because of the betrayal of the Adan Kingdom a few years ago, Chen Tianping of the royal family came to the Ming Dynasty for help. In the end, the leader of the rebellion of the Adan Kingdom tricked Zhu Di into saying that he was willing to make Chen Tianping king and lured Chen Tianping back to the country to kill him. Not only did he kill Chen Tianping, but he also killed the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. He thought that he could be king behind closed doors.
However, he had miscalculated one thing!
The person he was tricking was called Zhu Di!
In the Great Ming Country, those who dared to do so had already been killed, and some had even been killed by ten clans. It was no exception abroad. Zhu Zhanji had personally heard the Imperial Grandfather berating the envoy of the Adan Country, clearly indicating that he would send troops to escort the princess of the Adan Country back to the country to inherit the throne!
What was a golden tongue?
This was it!
If the Great Ming Dynasty did not destroy the Adan Country, they would not be able to live up to this sentence.
Zhu Di, Zheng He, and the princess of the Adan Kingdom were all very relieved. Only Zhu Zhanji sighed.
"What are you sighing for, kid?" Zhu Di glared at him.”
Zhu Zhanji glanced at the princess of Adan Country. He was embarrassed to say it out loud. He blinked and said,""Royal grandfather, did your grandson sigh?”
Zhu Di pointed at his grandson and said,""Zhen is not old and muddle-headed! Do you also want to learn from your father to advise me not to use troops?”
Zheng He looked at this scene strangely. In his impression, whether it was the Crown Prince, the King of Han, or the King of Zhao, none of them dared to speak to the Emperor like this. As long as the Emperor was angry, the three brothers would definitely be so scared that they would not even dare to breathe.
Zhu Zhanji didn't care about the princess anymore and said,"Grandson believes that the land that Great Ming conquered should belong to Great Ming. Grandson suggests that after the war, Great Ming station troops in Adan Country…This is to protect Adan Country, and the military expenses should be borne by Adan Country!”
Zhu Di's eyelids twitched and he pretended to be angry."Nonsense! The Adan Country has risked feeding a turtle to ask for help. How can I let them down?”
However, the princess of the Aldan Kingdom tactfully kowtowed and said,"Reporting to the Great Emperor, the Adan Kingdom is willing to accept the protection of the Celestial Empire.”
Zhu Di rubbed his hands, feeling embarrassed to bully a weak woman like this. He said earnestly,"When you go back to inherit the throne, you have to treat the people better. You can't be like the previous kings who didn't understand the people's feelings and gave the powerful ministers an excuse to rebel.”
The princess of Aldan kowtowed again.
Zhu Di waved his hand and said,"Alright, you can go back!"”
The princess of the Adan Kingdom stood up. Her face was covered with a veil, and her appearance could not be seen clearly. Before she left, she even glanced at Zhu Zhanji.
The person involved had left!
Zhu Zhanji immediately became excited." Grandpa, this princess of Adan is a woman. Why should we let her go back? We can use her name to flatten Adan. Isn't it better to use Adan as the Ming Dynasty's naval base?!"”
"Nonsense!"
Zhu Di lectured his grandson and turned to Zheng He,""What do you think?"
" Your Majesty," Zheng He said hesitantly," the Adan Kingdom is thousands of miles away from the Ming Empire. It seems unnecessary to send troops to occupy this territory.”
Zhu Di nodded and said to his grandson,""The places that the treasured ship passes through are all the bones of the Ming Dynasty. It's fine for us to send troops to help them fight, and it's also reasonable for us to stay and not leave. However, it's not reasonable for us to snatch their throne. We're a country in their eyes, not bandits.”
Zhu Zhanji didn't listen to a single word of these words. They were all like wind blowing past his ears. What country? When you were strong, you were like a sick man, when you were weak, you just took in a few underlings to help out when the boss was bullied. Who would help you in these small countries? No matter how good you were to them, it was useless. When you fell behind or they found a new boss, they would still bully and ridicule you!
Zhu Di tidied up his newly changed cotton coat and said,"Let's not talk about Ah Dan. How's the arrangement for Miss Sun that you brought?”
"I've already received it from the Crown Prince Palace," Zhu Zhanji replied.”
Zhu Di smiled faintly." I'll bring her to the garden tonight. I want to see her."”
"Grandpa, why are you interested in her?" Zhu Zhanji asked.”
"Isn't she the person you like?" Zhu Di asked.”
Zhu Zhanji thought to himself, Grandpa, don't tell me you already know Sun Ruowei's true identity and want to use this to test me?
Zhu Di didn't give his grandson a chance to react and said the word 'Qin Ci'.
Grandpa is scheming against me again?
Zhu Zhanji returned to the Crown Prince's residence calmly, even forgetting about the horse appointment and chatting.
If Grandpa knows Sun Ruowei's identity, then why did he ask me to bring her to the park?
If Grandpa didn't know Sun Ruowei's identity, the King of Han would definitely tell on him. If Grandpa knew, he would still suppress me!
Zhu Zhanji felt that it was better for him to prepare a backup plan in advance, so that his grandfather would not turn hostile when he met Emperor Jianwen.
