Therefore, in the face of Zhu Di's question again, Zhu Zhanyi did not hesitate at all." I'm sure!"”
"Good!" Zhu Di's eyes were filled with admiration.
It could be said that this was the first time in thousands of years that he had used the Imperial Roll to make a military pledge!
It was more serious than an ordinary military order.
Soon, Shou Quan brought over a brand new Imperial Roll.
Looking at the Imperial Board, Zhu Gaochi's forehead was sweating even more.
Sweat slid down his fat face to his collar.
The collar of his gorgeous crown prince robe was already drenched in sweat.
He couldn't stop it, but once this military pledge was made…
When Zhu Gaochi thought of this, he was extremely anxious.
Zhu Zhanji was also worried, but now, he could only hope that everything would go smoothly.
After the Imperial Roll was taken, Zhu Di did not directly give it to Zhu Zhanyu. Instead, he picked up a pen and wrote on it.
Zhu Di's expression was cold. The pen in his hand swayed, tugging at the heartstrings of everyone in the royal study.
Zhu Di only wrote a few words on it and did not write much.
Then, he took the Imperial Board and walked in front of Zhu Zhan Xin.
He held the Imperial Roll in one hand and pulled Zhu Zhan Xin up with the other.
The old but still powerful hand was placed on Zhu Zhan Xin's shoulder. He glanced at Zhu Gaochi and said lightly,""You two, get up too."
After Zhu Gaochi stood up, he looked nervously at Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanyi.
Zhu Di ignored him and stared at Zhu Zhanyi.""This military pledge is not for me!"
"But to the heavens, to the earth, and to my Ming Dynasty!”
"To the ancestors of my Zhu family!"
Zhu Di's expression was extremely serious.
After saying that.
Zhu Di held the Imperial Roll with both hands and personally handed it to Zhu Zhanxin.
Upon hearing this.
Zhu Zhanxin's expression also became serious. He raised his head and saw the bright red words "Zhu" on the golden Imperial Roll.
At this moment, Zhu Zhan Xin understood very well.
This time, Zhu Di did not have the slightest intention of joking!
Zhu Di wrote down the Imperial Roll and gave it to Zhu Zhanyi, which meant that he trusted Zhu Zhanyi.
The military pledge was to make Zhu Zhanxin realize the importance of this matter, and it was the same for the unprecedented military pledge with the Imperial Roll.
Zhu Zhan Xin immediately knelt down and took the Imperial Roll with both hands without hesitation!
This was not only the imperial roll, but also Zhu Di's trust and Ming Dynasty's future!
He had no way out!
The Darming Dynasty had reached its peak from the start!
From Hongwu's heyday to the Battle of Jingnan, the five dragons were in the same dynasty!
The glorious Great Ming Dynasty was like the sun shining on the land of the Nine Prefectures that had been ravaged by foreign races after the former Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Zhanmo didn't want to see Da Ming fall after a short period of glory.
Later, the Qing army entered the pass.
The Chinese citizens were slaughtered once again.
Yangzhou ten days, Jiajing three massacres, endless literary prison.
Every word in the history books cried blood!
In the end, the land of the Nine Prefectures was even more humiliated for the next hundred years under the Tartar's rule.
The mountains and rivers fell, and the country was destroyed.
Zhu Zhanmo did not want to see this part of history in the history books.
He wanted to let Da Ming continue to be strong and let China stand proudly in the east of the world forever!
When Zhu Di was still around, it was almost the last glory of the Ming Dynasty.
After that, none of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty could surpass Zhu Di.
After Zhu Di's death, the Yongle period passed and the Ming Dynasty began to decline.
Even though they were able to hold on for a period of time due to Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji's talents.
However, when the successor monarch was not a wise person, the Ming Dynasty began to collapse and could not be salvaged.
If Zhu Zhanyi wanted to change history, the only chance he had to fight was when Zhu Di was still alive!
Facing this Imperial Board.
He could not refuse!
Seeing Zhu Zhanyi's solemn and determined expression, the coldness in Zhu Di's eyes dissipated a little.
"Good! As expected of a descendant of my Zhu Clan!"
Then, he turned to Zhu Gaochi and scolded,""Look, even your son is stronger than you!”
"He only knows how to persuade me not to go out and to retreat!”
"As my Ming Crown Prince, you still don't have the boldness to do so!”
What Zhu Di was most dissatisfied with was Zhu Gaochi's weakness and conservativeness!
Zhu Gaochi was made Crown Prince because of Zhan Ji's ability and his kindness.
Zhu Gaochi was kind and soft-hearted. Zhu Di could rest assured that the Crown Prince would treat his brothers well when he ascended the throne in the future. There would not be any situations of killing each other.
However!
Benevolence was an advantage, but Zhu Gaochi was more benevolent than courageous!
This wasn't the first time Zhu Gaochi had been criticized by Zhu Di, but he still insisted on his opinion.
" Increasing the business tax is a pioneering move. Setting a precedent is never a sure thing. Facing something that you are not confident in, you stubbornly want to make a military pledge and boast. This move is too impulsive.”
Zhu Di was so angry that he laughed.
They said that the Crown Prince was weak, but he was always fearless and rebutted. Even though his face was pale from fear, he was still stubborn.
"Impulse? This was called boldness! If one was overly cautious about everything, how could one achieve great things?”
"Zhanji, you have to learn from Zhanji!”
As he spoke, Zhu Di pulled Zhu Zhanji down.
"How can we not be overcautious when it comes to matters of the country?”
"Father! Any decision was related to the country of Great Ming, so he had to consider it carefully!”
"It's willful to act without thinking carefully!”
"If you are careless, the people of my Great Ming will be harmed. It is the country of my Great Ming!”
"The matter of taxes is so important that we have to be even more careful!”
Zhu Di's eyes were filled with anger again as he scolded.
"Don't you see the current situation in the Great Ming's treasury?! Zhan Jue had a way to resolve it. As a father, as the Ming Crown Prince, is this how you strike his enthusiasm?”
"Your son is only pointing out the inappropriate part! It's to calm him down!"
Zhu Gaochi didn't give in at all. This was a matter of national importance. He was the Crown Prince, so he had to speak bluntly!
Zhu Zhanyi and Zhu Zhanji looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Although it wasn't the first time he heard the two of them quarrel, one side was his Imperial Grandfather, and the other side was his father. The flames of war could burn them at any time, and it really gave him a headache.
Zhu Di and his son quarreled and quarreled about the northern expedition.
"Humph! Now that the problem of the national treasury has been solved, what else do you have to say about Zhen's expedition?”
"Father! This is not just a problem with the treasury!"
"Your current body is no longer young! How can we do this!"
Zhu Gaochi was still vehemently opposed to the Northern Expedition.
Not to mention that in Zhu Gaochi's opinion, Zhu Zhanyu's method might not be implemented smoothly. Even if the national treasury problem was solved, Zhu Di should not personally go north!
"The Northern Lands is bitterly cold. You're already so old. If you personally lead the army to war, how much suffering will you have to suffer there?”
His words revealed his deep concern.
Although Zhu Gaochi was still contradicting Zhu Di, compared to the previous sharpness, the warmth hidden in his words undoubtedly eased Zhu Di's cold expression a little.
