Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying hesitantly and said,"Then how many people and how many ships do you think are suitable?”
"It's best to choose musketeers for the 20,000 soldiers. We don't need too many horses, and the more ships we have, the better.”
"The things we bring back won't stop at crops!”
Zhu Xiong Ying said bluntly.
"Go back and tell your father. If he agrees, grandfather will let you go. The risks overseas are high, and 20,000 troops are not enough. You can ask your father for 50,000 troops and take 600 warships.”
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that Zhu Xiongying would wander on the sea.
However, Zhu Xiong Ying had said it very clearly. That place was still in the true slash-and-burn period, and was thousands of years behind the Great Ming Dynasty.
He was worried about letting outsiders go. He was really worried.
Zhu Xiong Ying was coming back to inherit the throne, so he would definitely come back.
Looking at the old man, Zhu Xiongying was in a dilemma. He said,"Grandfather, it's not like you don't know that your grandson and mother died early.”
"Father is with Lady Lu all day long. You might as well kill me if you ask me to go to him and ask for an edict!”
Zhu Xiongying did have a sense of closeness to the old man, but he didn't have such a feeling towards Zhu Biao.
The most powerful rumors in the world would always be pillow talk.
Zhu Xiongying was able to reach this step mostly because he relied on himself to make his presence known in front of the old man, to gain a good impression of him, and to help the old man do things.
After obtaining permission to follow Feng Sheng and Lan Yu to the Northern Expedition, Zhu Xiong Ying only needed to take a trip to the Northern Desert.
As a transmigrator, Zhu Xiong Ying would agree to Consort Yuan's request for an item. He hoped that he could take the opportunity to offer the Imperial Jade Seal.
Consolidating his position.
However, he did not expect Zhu Yuanzhang to have such serious thoughts about establishing a direct heir.
It was deeply rooted and could not be changed.
He directly bypassed Zhu Biao and made Zhu Xiongying the emperor's grandson. According to Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes, he placed Lan Yu and Chang Sheng beside Zhu Xiongying.
At that time, even if he died, although Lan Yu was close to Zhu Biao, she would never agree to Zhu Biao deposing Zhu Xiong Ying and replacing him with the child of the Lu family.
As for Chang Sheng, there was no need to mention him.
Chang Yuchun's son, Zhu Xiongying's uncle, would he agree to Zhu Biao deposing the Crown Prince?
In comparison, Zhu Xiongying's position as the Crown Prince was still exceptionally stable.
Sighing, Zhu Yuanzhang said," Don't argue with your father when you go back. Just say whatever you want. Your father will agree. If he doesn't agree, you can come and find me!"”
Zhu Xiongying paused and helplessly went to find Lao Tzu to receive the decree. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying's back and asked doubtfully,""You met the Prince of Zhongshan's youngest daughter at the King Yan's estate?”
"Grandpa? You even know that?" Zhu Xiong Ying stomped his feet, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang said directly,"You're my grandson. Do you think I don't know about the tricks in your stomach?”
"Put away your little thoughts. She's not your senior. When it's time for you to get married, Grandpa will personally choose for you!”Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and continued to read the memorial.
......
Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Residence.
Zhu Xiong Ying had just entered the palace when a young eunuch stepped forward and blocked his way."Your Highness, the Crown Prince wants you to see him in the study.。”
"Study room? Did father say why he was looking for me?"
Zhu Xiongying didn't plan to see Zhu Biao. Rather than wasting his breath with Zhu Biao, he would rather see the old man tomorrow.
He would directly tell the old master that his cheap father would not agree.
At that time, he could just ask the old man to issue an edict. Why would he go through the trouble of getting Zhu Biao to agree?
Moreover, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Biao didn't have a good relationship.
After all, the mother of Zhu Xiongying's body had died early.
Pillow talk kept blowing.
"This, this servant doesn't know either. The Crown Prince said that once His Highness returns, we can just go over directly!”The young eunuch lowered his head.
At this time, even if he was serving the Eastern Palace, a female servant only had a tiny bit of undetectable privileges.
Compared to those powerful eunuchs in history, the eunuchs in the early Ming Dynasty had almost no power to speak of.
Zhu Xiongying glanced at him and walked towards Zhu Biao's study.
He went forward and pushed open the wooden door of the study. The sky was already dark. In the study, only Zhu Biao's table was lit by candlelight.
"Father, you were looking for me?"”
"Come here, father has something to say to you.”Zhu Biao waved his hand, gesturing for Zhu Xiongying to come closer.
Zhu Xiong Ying was suspicious and paused for a moment. He stopped and looked at them from afar. He bowed and smiled,"Your son is right here. If father has anything to say, just say it!”
"You've conferred the title of grand grandson, but now you don't even give face to father?”Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect things to develop to this point.
Zhu Xiong Ying nodded slightly and said," What are you saying, Father? How would I dare to do that? It's just that Grandfather has given me a task, so I still have to sort it out!"”
"You left the Palace of Heavenly Purity at 5 pm and returned to the Eastern Palace at 5 pm. Where have you been for such a long time?”
Zhu Biao stared at Zhu Xiongying and said with a heavy heart.
Zhu Xiongying shrugged indifferently and said frankly,"He went to meet the palace maids in private."
"You're too bold." Zhu Biao slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Zhu Xiongying.
"Father, you should think about how to teach your younger brother and handle the government affairs. Your son still has things to do, so I'll take my leave first!”Zhu Xiongying didn't want to stay a minute longer.
