Soon, Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and wrote a long piece of paper.
"Go, get the secret guards to send it to your second uncle and the others.”
"For Second Uncle?"
Zhu Zhanji was confused.
"If I ask you to send it, then send it.”
Zhu Gaochi laughed and scolded.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji did not dare to delay and quickly sent the letter out.
Han King's Residence.
At this moment, the King of Han and the King of Zhao were discussing the matter of sending troops to the Northern Expedition.
However, they had been fighting for many years, so how could they let their guard down?
"This time, the old master sent me 200,000 men, including 20,000 elite cavalry. He also sent the Divine Arms Battalion to me.”
"Yes, I've seen the Divine Arms Battalion's latest cannon. It's several times stronger than before! With these cannons, the chances of winning this battle were very high.”
Even though the Han King was not going out to battle, he was still discussing with the Zhao King. They had always been like this in the past.
"Then Second Brother, how do you think we should fight this battle?”
King Zhao looked at him.
The Han King looked at the map in front of him.
"If it was in the past, with this new type of cannon, we would definitely charge into their nest and flatten them in one fell swoop.”
The Han King's eyes revealed a trace of killing intent.
As for Wala, every soldier of Ming hated them to the bone.
"However, this time, Zhanjiu is going to go, so we should be safe. We can fight Wala anytime, but we can't let our nephew get hurt.”
Zhao Wang nodded.
"Then we'll rely on Yansui Town and focus on defense. After the internal matters are settled, we'll send an army to the border.”
King Zhao suggested.
The Han King nodded.
Although this method wasn't satisfactory and it was difficult to destroy the Wala, it was safe. Yansui Town was an important town on the border. With it as the rear, they could attack and defend.
At this moment, a personal guard walked in with a letter. After handing the letter to the Han King, he whispered a few words into his ear.
"He didn't say anything else?"
The Han King frowned, and the other party shook his head.
"Second brother, who sent this?"
"Boss."
"Boss?"
King Zhao was slightly surprised.
"Why did he send a letter?"
King Zhao muttered.
The Han King was also a little puzzled. The two of them opened the letter and found that the ink on it had not dried yet. It was obvious that it had just been written not long ago.
After reading the contents of the letter, the Han King and Zhao King's expressions changed.
"This boss, isn't he making things difficult for us?”
The King of Zhao was slightly indignant.
The letter said that after Zhang shi heard the news that he was going to take charge of the capital's garrison, she was so scared that she couldn't sleep. When they first saw this, they didn't think much of it.
She wondered what your family had to do with us.
But later, Zhu Gaochi said that their nephew also knew about this matter. He said that if Zhang shi wanted to leave, he would follow.
In the end, Zhu Gaochi was afraid that they couldn't understand, so he left a sentence at the back, telling them to just put on an act and not scare Zhang shi.
F * ck, are you kidding?
What were they supposed to do? Did they have to tell her before they attacked that they were just putting on an act and were not serious?
What was going on?
"Second brother, what should we do?"
"What should I do? How would I know?"
The Han King also had a headache.
"Forget it, Zhan Jue will be leaving with you anyway. We'll talk about it after he's gone. At most, I'll personally apologize to them afterwards!”
The Han King slapped the table.
"Tell me, why did our Zhu family have a boss? He's afraid of his wife and son.”
The Han King was also puzzled.
"It's fine if he's afraid of his wife. Our father also dotes on our mother. This is the first time I've heard of a terrifying son.”
"Tell me, ever since the founding ancestor, in our Zhu family, which son didn't tremble at the sight of his father? However, something happened to him.”
"Isn't it just one? Zhu Zhanji that kid is also very clever.”
King Zhao added.
"That kid is relying on the old master behind him. What do you think this is?”
"Let me tell you, my sons don't even dare to raise their heads when they see me. How dare they threaten me? I'll whip them to death!”
The Han King waved his hand to vent his frustration.
King Zhao laughed.
"Second Brother, aren't we the same? We don't even dare to raise our heads when we see the old master.”
"That's because I've been beaten up since I was young."
The Han King waved his hand awkwardly.
"That's why I said that this son can't be spoiled. He needs a little education. The boss doesn't know how to teach children. If it were me, I would whip him every day.”
The Han King snorted coldly.
"But Second Brother, let alone Boss, even if the two of us attacked together, we wouldn't be a match for that nephew.”
King Zhao's words made him speechless.
"His flying sword can cut off our heads with a whoosh.”
As he spoke, King Zhao gestured.
The Han King immediately fell silent. Then, the two of them looked at each other and shook their heads wordlessly.
……
"What?! Let Zhan Ji and Zhan He follow Third Brother to the border? No, I don't agree."
Zhang shi immediately rejected Zhu Gaochi's suggestion.
"I say, what are you thinking? Letting Second Brother take charge of the capital and then sending your own son to Third Brother? Are you crazy?”
Zhang shi scolded him again.
"Aiyo, my great aunt, can you not talk about this? If I'm crazy, why would I discuss this with you?”
Zhu Gaochi was also speechless.
"Hmph, I don't care. Zhanji is fine, but Zhanhe is no good. He has never left the capital before, and you want him to go to the border.”
"Isn't this a good opportunity to train?"
"That depends on the time. What time is it now? The Wala Kingdom is heading south. Their knives don't recognize people!”
Zhang shi said no matter what, she wouldn't let Zhu Zhan Xin go. She had no choice, she only had these few children.
Zhu Zhanhao had been brought by Zhu Di since he was young, and she rarely took care of him. Only Zhu Zhanhao was brought up by her, so she naturally could not bear to part with him.
Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Zhanji and signaled him to help.
"Mother, it's also time for Zhan Jue to go out and experience the world.”
"That's right. Which man of the Zhu family doesn't go to the battlefield?”
Zhu Gaochi also echoed from the side.
"Shut up!"
Zhang shi glared at him, and Zhu Gaochi immediately shut his mouth, not daring to speak.
She thought about it and realized that what he said made sense.
Although Zhu Gaochi was now in the Imperial Palace all day long, in the past, he had been quite worried about the war.
"But this is your third uncle's doing. How can I be at ease?”
Zhang shi was a little hesitant.
"Cough cough, mother, father naturally wouldn't dare to let us go over.”
Zhu Zhanji gave her a meaningful glance. It was obvious that someone else had given the order.
As for who it was, there was no need to say more.
When Zhang Shi heard this, she looked at Zhu Zhanji and then at Zhu Gaochi.
"Yes."
Even though she said that, Zhang shi was still a little worried. A child traveling thousands of miles was a mother's worry.
"Mother, I'm here, I'll keep an eye on Zhan Chen.”
Seeing that Zhang shi was somewhat moved, he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade her.
"I'd better ask Zhan Jue. If he agrees, let him go.”
Zhang shi sighed.
"Don't!"
Zhu Gaochi quickly said. He didn't let Zhu Zhanshen come over because he wanted to discuss it with her in advance. As long as Zhang shi relented, would Zhu Zhanshen have any reason not to go?
"Hmm? Zhu, what do you mean by this? You let Zhan Jue go to such a far place without letting him know, what do you want to do?”
Zhang shi was like a provoked wild cat, shouting at Zhu Gaochi again.
"I-I didn't mean that."
Zhu Gaochi smiled awkwardly.
"Then what do you mean?"
Zhu Gaochi suddenly stopped talking.
"Alright, mother, father is also doing this for fifth brother. Think about it, he has been by your side for so long.”
"But it's different if you ask. Fifth Brother will definitely agree.”
Zhang shi pondered for a moment.
"No, I still have to ask for his opinion.”
This time, Zhang shi didn't listen to Zhu Zhanji. In her opinion, Zhu Zhanxin's opinion was more important than anything else. She never thought of letting Zhu Zhanxin take on any position.
In the future, if Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne, he could still be a prince.
Although she felt a little regretful about the incident at Wang Gong Factory, she was more gratified. The struggles between the royal family had always been cruel.
She did not want to see her son kill each other for that position.
She secretly made up her mind. As long as Zhan He didn't agree, she would make Zhan He stay even if she had to bear the old master's punishment.
Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaochi looked at each other helplessly.
Soon, Zhu Zhanxin walked in.
"Mother, big brother."
"Zhanchen, come here."
Seeing him come in, Zhang shi hurriedly waved for him to come over.
"You've grown taller again."
Zhang shi patted his head and smiled.
"Why did Mother call me here?"
It was only Zhang shi who spoke up. Otherwise, even if Zhu Zhanji spoke up, he wouldn't have come over. Usually, others would come directly to their door.
He wasn't being pretentious. What could be more important than his cultivation?
"Why can't Mother look for you?"
To be honest, Zhang shi was usually very gentle to him. Of course, the premise was that he did not cause trouble. Otherwise, the first person to teach him a lesson would be Zhang shi.
"Mother asked you, how are you doing in this residence?”
"It's alright."
It was indeed alright. He had clothes on his hands and food on his mouth. He lived a comfortable life.
When Zhang Shi heard this, she smiled, but Zhu Zhanji and the others had bitter expressions on their faces, thinking that they were finished.
Especially Zhu Gaochi, who was already thinking about how to change the plan.
"Then mother asks you if you are willing to go on a long journey.”
"Go far away? Why do you want to go far away?”
He looked at her with some doubt, then he looked at Zhu Zhanji and the others who had a strange expression.
"Mother, do you have something to tell me?”
"Yes, Father wants you and your big brother to follow your third uncle to the border.”
"I'll go."
"If you don't want to go, just tell Mother. Don't be afraid, if you don't want to go, Mother will never let anyone take you away.”
"I'll go."
As she spoke, Zhang shi was stunned. She thought that she had heard wrongly.
"What did you say?"
"I said I can go."
"Didn't you say you didn't want to go far?”
Zhang shi was suddenly a little confused. Why did this child not play by the rules?
Zhu Zhanji and the others were shocked by this sudden surprise. Sometimes, surprises came so suddenly.
"Zhan Chen, do you not know where you are going?”
Zhang shi thought that he didn't know and prepared to explain to him.
"I know. The Wala Kingdom is preparing for war in the south.”
Zhu Zhanxin replied.
Zhang shi was stunned.
She looked at Zhu Zhan Xin carefully. After confirming that he was not wrong, she sighed regretfully.
Since Zhu Zhan Xin had already said that he could go, then what reason did she have to stop him?
Zhang shi rubbed his head with red eyes and didn't say anything.
Soon, this matter was settled. When the army set off, they would follow the army north.
In the days that followed, Zhang shi became more and more concerned about him.
She picked what he liked to eat and drink, and brought it with her every day. She even brought him into the palace.
This made him very speechless. Was it really necessary? It was not like he was not coming back. He did not even have the time to cultivate.
On this day, they arrived at the Shangyi Bureau in the palace.
All the palace maids that Hua Zhi had recruited were passing by. All of them had graceful figures and top-notch appearances.
This was Zhu Zhanshi's first time here. Shangyi Bureau was the residence of the women in the harem. Other than eunuchs, no men would come here.
He was like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden. His eyes never stopped on them.
Most of the palace maids here were young. Most of them were fifteen or sixteen years old and were in the prime of their youth. Only those who were older were slightly older.
But in short, it would not exceed 30. This was not like some Qing Palace dramas, where the old man was still serving people in the palace.
He was already so old. If one did not know, they would think that the emperor had some special hobby.
The group of palace maids had just passed by when another group walked towards them. This was simply like a runway show. He could not bear to watch.
"Crown Princess, Gui An!"
When the group of palace maids saw Zhang shi bend down and salute, Zhu Zhan Xin took this opportunity to carefully size them up.
Although the palace maids had never seen him standing behind the Crown Princess, they knew that his identity was extraordinary. Some of the more quick-witted ones held their heads high and puffed out their chests.
Revealing her slender, snow-white neck and puffed out her proud chest, Zhu Zhan Xin looked even more excited.
Don't misunderstand, he just liked to watch.
It was a pity that the palace maid's clothes did not reveal her legs. Otherwise, it would be a truly beautiful scenery.
Zhang shi, who was standing at the side, seemed to have noticed the strange behavior of the palace maids.
He turned his head and glared at Zhu Zhanxin, then pulled him behind him. Then, his gaze stopped for a moment on the palace maids who showed off their postures.
Then, the group of palace maids slowly walked away, and Zhu Zhan Xin also placed his gaze on the palace maids walking in front of him.
Turning a corner, when they reached a place where Zhang shi could not see, the leading palace maid stopped, and the palace maids behind her also stopped.
She turned around and walked towards the crowd. She stopped beside one of the palace maids.
"Raise your head."
She spoke coldly, her tone unquestionable.
The palace maid raised her head, not knowing what to do. Her body was still trembling slightly.
When she saw the appearance of the palace maid, the leading palace maid stared at her for a while before raising her hand and slapping her.
The crisp sound immediately caused a red mark to appear on the palace maid's face. However, the palace maid held back her tears and remained motionless.
The other palace maids were the same. Their eyes were even looking straight ahead.
Then, the leading palace maid walked up to another palace maid. Just like before, when she raised her head, she slapped her again.
However, even though she raised her hand to slap him, if you looked closely, you would find that from the beginning to the end, her head did not move at all. Only her shoulders moved.
His head and body were always straight, which showed his etiquette.
After slapping the palace maids, she walked out of the crowd.
"Look at me."
All the palace maids turned to look at her.
"Have you become bold today? How dare you seduce the imperial grandson in front of the crown prince consort?”
As she spoke, her gaze lingered on the palace maids for a moment.
"It's just that the Crown Princess Consort is kind-hearted and doesn't care about you. Remember this, when you see His Highness in the future, behave yourself.”
"Did you hear that?"
"I heard you."
The palace maids replied in unison. However, those palace maids did not feel aggrieved because of the punishment. Instead, they were proud that they had made the right bet!
At this moment, another group of palace maids walked out from behind. Just like them, the leading palace maid also stopped in her tracks.
The two of them looked at each other and nodded with a smile.
Then, she left with her men.
Just as they moved, a crisp sound came from behind.
The leading palace maid smiled. There was no shortage of women with good eyesight in the palace, but sometimes success was just luck.
On Zhu Zhan Xin's side, Zhang shi first pulled him and walked quickly forward. When she found that his eyes were still looking, she simply didn't care about anything else.
She grabbed his ear, but even in such an embarrassing situation, he did not look at her.
What kind of joke was this? He had never seen so many beautiful women in his two lifetimes. Even if his ears fell off today, he had to continue looking!
Zhang shi saw him like this and felt a little helpless, wondering if bringing him here was the wrong choice.
As they thought about it, they soon arrived at their destination.
"Crown Princess Gui An."
"Hu Shangyi."
Zhang shi looked at her and smiled, then released the hand that was pulling Zhu Zhan's ear.
From the beginning to the end, Hu Shangyi and the palace maid behind her did not even glance at him.
