Old Zhu had already made up his mind that all his time and energy would be spent on expanding.
He was confident that in his lifetime, he would be able to build a huge territory for Great Ming.
The fertile lands Zhang Che mentioned would all be included in Great Qin's territory.
Of course, Old Zhu had also thought of a problem.
Unrestrained expansion was never a good thing.
It was important to expand the territory, but it was even more important to govern these territories well.
Old Zhu thought about it, and realized that Zhang Che's idea of making a few more emperors as if he was joking really seemed to be a feasible path.
It was nothing more than the method of giving the land of Great Ming to the princes.
It wasn't a problem to change his title to emperor.
But here came the problem!
Who was allowed to go and who was not allowed to go?
This was another headache!
Old Zhu was a man. He would think from a practical point of view.
In his opinion, with Zhang Che's current abilities, if Big Ming really developed to that stage in the future, he would at least have to manage a feudal kingdom!
A good man should aim for the world.
When he was young, his wings were still immature and he had not grown up yet. It was normal for him to accompany his parents.
However, he was almost an adult now. Because of their guilt, it might not be fair for him to keep him by his side.
However, judging from Empress Ma's attitude, there was no need to even think about it.
She was even so resistant to letting Zhang Che settle down in the mainland.
If she really sent Zhang Che overseas, what would happen?
After thinking about it, Old Zhu finally opened his mouth to comfort him,"Sister, I have an idea. If I let Che 'er acknowledge my ancestors, many things won't be up to me. Why don't we suppress this matter first…"
Old Zhu had just said this when he saw Empress Ma's eyes filled with tears again.
"Sister, I promise you that I will only hide it from him for the time being. This way, he won't have the title of prince, so he naturally won't go to the vassal state.”
Old Zhu held Empress Ma's hand and said gently.
"Chongba, I just want to hear him call me mother!" Empress Ma said with a bitter expression.”
This sentence made Old Zhu's nose sting, but he still gently advised,"Sister, you have to understand our difficulties! The prince went to the vassal state to avoid suspicion. This was only a temporary measure, it was good for Che 'er and Biao' er!”
Pausing for a moment, he sighed." Besides, even if you don't acknowledge this marriage now, doesn't Che 'er still call you mother?"”
Empress Ma lowered her head, her eyes red.
"It's different. After all, it's different!”
At this moment, Empress Ma felt very uncomfortable.
It was a great surprise for her to have her youngest son back.
But the heavens were always so cruel!
Father and son were in front of each other, but because of various reasons, they could not recognize each other.
It was easy to imagine how aggrieved she felt as a mother.
But Empress Ma also understood Old Zhu's difficulties.
It was said that the Tian family was heartless. Could it be that the people of the Emperor's family were not made of flesh and blood, and their hearts were made of iron?
However, in that position, every move would be bound to be carried away by the so-called great power.
The title on each person's head not only brought them noble status, but also the embodiment of interest groups.
For example, Old Zhu was the emperor and the supreme ruler.
The position of Emperor gave him a power that ordinary people could not understand.
Even if Old Zhu was sitting in the Imperial Palace, his soft words would turn into the roar of a god and make mortals tremble!
Crown Prince Zhu Biao also had a lot of power.
One had to know that a long time ago, Old Zhu had started to cultivate power and establish authority for Zhu Biao.
The officials who were now attached to Zhu Biao were all influential figures in the Ming Dynasty.
Compared to the group of founding heroes who were already old, these people were all young and strong.
Ambition, ability, and power were not lacking.
Under such circumstances, if Zhang Che didn't go to the vassal state, what would Zhu Biao's subordinates think?
Under their coercion, no matter how unwilling Zhu Biao was, there might be a tragic scene of brothers fighting.
Old Zhu and Empress Ma could protect Zhang Che for now, but the two of them would leave one day.
At that time, how would Zhang Che deal with himself?
"Chongba, I often think that this position of the supreme being in the world might not be so good.”Empress Ma said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Old Zhu raised his eyebrows and his aura flashed.
"Sister, although this matter is difficult, I've never felt that there's no way to solve it." It's just that I want to figure out the ins and outs of the matter now!”
"Che 'er was only two years old. Even if he was still alive when he was buried, how could he have the ability to escape the tomb? If I don't get to the bottom of this matter, I won't feel at ease. Hiding this matter for the time being would also make it easier to investigate.”
Empress Ma suddenly raised her head and looked at Old Zhu.
The recovery of her youngest son made her happy and heartbroken. For a moment, she couldn't think about anything else.
But now that Old Zhu mentioned this, Empress Ma immediately reacted.
"We must investigate this matter thoroughly! If the person who took Che 'er away had good intentions, it would be fine. If someone was plotting behind this matter, he should be killed!”
