In the end, the imperial order to arrest Zhu Chen did not come down.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also sent a message to Wang Huamin, the governor of Quanzhou, to take care of Zhu Chen.
After receiving the order, Wang Huamin, the governor of Quanzhou, sent over a lot of gold, silver, copper coins, jade, and cloth.
Zhu Chen was surprised. He raised his eyebrows and asked,"Lord Wang, who asked you to send it?"”
Wang Huamin lowered his head and did not want to answer Zhu Chen.
Even though he was a second-grade official, Zhu Chen was still holding a woman in his arms, which made Wang Huamin speechless.
But after thinking about it, Wang Huamin still replied,
"His Majesty has sent word that this is the salary that Prince Chen deserves.”
"Oh!" Zhu Chen was surprised at first, but then he understood.
So it was his salary.
It seemed that his cheap emperor father's conscience had not been eaten by dogs.
He even knew that his son had no money to spend.
"Thank you, Lord Wang. I'll have to trouble you to come personally!”
Zhu Chen put down Little Ling 'er in his arms, stood up, and walked to the chest. He picked up a gold ingot worth fifty taels and stuffed it into Wang Huamin's hands.
Wang Huamin's expression changed slightly as he questioned sternly,""What is Your Highness doing?"
Seeing his reaction, Zhu Chen instantly narrowed his eyes and laughed.
"It's nothing. I just feel that this gold ingot is a bit of an eyesore, so I want Lord Wang to send it to the capital for His Majesty to take a look…Is it lacking in weight?？”
Wang Huamin heaved a sigh of relief at first. Fortunately, it wasn't a gift for him. However, he instantly reacted and his expression changed again.
Zhu Chen didn't wait for him to say anything more and directly gave him the gold. He turned around and said,""Ah Fu, send the guest out!"
Steward Fu had followed Zhu Chen from Ying Tian all the way to the south. When he heard this, he smiled and extended his hand,
"Lord Wang, please!"
Wang Huamin's expression was ugly as he flicked his sleeves and left.
Five days later.
In the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the gold in front of him and fell into deep thought again.
Zhu Biao said faintly,
"Imperial Father, Zhu Chen is dissatisfied with your favoritism.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked up expressionlessly." Tell me more."”
"A box of the same gold, and he picked an ingot and specially sent it to the capital…
Wasn't he just trying to express that he was also a prince, so why did his father have to treat him like this?”
"I also feel that there's no need to treat Zhu Chen like this. It's better to bring him back…" Zhu Biao sighed.
Before Zhu Biao could finish his sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and interrupted him. He turned around and looked at Zhu Biao.
"Do you know that he is the same age as you and is older than you?？”
Zhu Biao's expression changed slightly. After a while, he muttered,""Your son understands Imperial Father's intentions."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and played with the gold ingot. Suddenly, he smiled." It's not bad that he's dissatisfied.”
As he spoke, he looked to the south and said faintly,"I'm afraid. It's scary that he's satisfied with everything!”
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment before he understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.
Now that Zhu Chen was unhappy, Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry. Instead, he was happy.
This meant that Zhu Chen was still a child.
If Zhu Chen was satisfied with everything, then Zhu Chen's schemes would be too deep. Only then would it be terrifying.
Most importantly, Zhu Chen was the same age as Zhu Biao and was slightly older than Zhu Biao.
This was the knot in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart…
Zhu Biao no longer mentioned bringing Zhu Chen back.
There was a tacit understanding between father and son.
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and sent a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to Prince Chen's residence.
Since you're not satisfied, I'll give you more.
After Zhu Chen saw this, he laughed and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Zhu Chen didn't get a single cent from Xiao Ling 'er when she gave the money to the consorts.
……
Time flew by.
Another half a year passed.
It was now the sixth year of Hongwu.
Lin Yin and Zhao Wan 'er were about to give birth.
Just last month, Xiao Ling 'er and Wu Jia were pregnant at the same time.
Zhu Chen was very happy. He had obtained another two years of lifespan, twenty years of cultivation, ten warships, and a hundred guards!
Zhu Chen accepted all of them, and he had more than two hundred guards spread throughout Quanzhou.
There were more than 30 warships, enough for Zhu Chen to encircle and annihilate Dong Fan.
The only thing that Zhu Chen lacked was manpower and an army.
Once the number of troops was sufficient, Zhu Chen would start to attack Dong Fan.
He would take down Dong Fan, consolidate his position, and start managing overseas.
Whether it was to completely break away from Da Ming or to dominate the world, there was a lot of room for manipulation.
Unlike now, there were many restrictions.
And this month, Zhu Chen's fifth wife, Li Yuxian, was also successfully pregnant.
He gained another wave of rewards.
Zhu Chen's five wives were all pregnant, and Lin Yin and Zhao Wan 'er would soon give birth.
Therefore, Zhu Chen was considering whether to marry another woman.
Zhu Chen didn't even say anything, but the five wives took the initiative to ask Zhu Chen to take in more concubines.
They knew Zhu Chen's situation. If no one served him…it was probably inappropriate.
Zhu Chen smiled and agreed.
On this day.
Zhu Chen came to the seaside to look at the sea.
Looking at the waves on the surface of the sea, he felt a little yearning in his heart.
What's the point of staying in Da Ming? This king's dream is the world, the sea of stars.
The current Zhu Chen was no longer that lonely child who had no one to rely on.
They were extremely powerful.
It was time for a change.
He turned around and left.
On the way, he met a group of beggars beating up a young beggar.
Zhu Chen felt pity for him and saved the little beggar, bringing him back.
Name: Zheng He!
What Zhu Chen randomly took should have been influenced by his previous life's history.
After throwing the little beggar to train, Zhu Chen received the news.
The leader of the Longyou Merchant Gang, Gao Jia, was willing to marry his daughter to Zhu Chen.
The key was that Zhu Chen had given him a gift that he could not refuse: The flintlock!
Zhu Chen had expected this and was not surprised at all.
Merchants pursue profits and value their lives more!
A few days later, the Residence of Chen became lively again.
The people of Quanzhou were already used to it.
Prince Chen only liked to take in concubines. He was a good person!
In the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, Zhu Biao, the princes, and Duke Chu all opened their mouths wide and were speechless for a long time.
Taking a concubine still depended on Zhu Chen!
