I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 135 Brothers unite
Zhu Houzhao knew very well that the key to everything in Qizhou was Zhu Houxuan.

He looked at Zhu Houxuan deeply. After spending the past few days together, he realized that Zhu Houxuan had not only become more mature in appearance over the past three years, but his style of doing things had also become more mature.

In just the past few days, I took him to visit various factories in Qizhou and showed him the core things of his industry without any reservation. He has already understood the meaning behind it.

After all, he had been emperor for eight years and had learned many things on his own.

He knew that Zhu Houxuan had already guessed the purpose of his coming to Qizhou. Both of them were smart people, and they both knew each other tacitly.

Zhu Houxuan took him to visit various places these days, actually to show his abilities.

Zhu Houxuan had already handed him a perfect answer, which surprised him very much and even frightened him a little.

He was emperor for eight years. From his position as emperor, he vaguely saw where the problems of the country lay. He appointed Liu Jin and wanted him to carry out reforms, but Liu Jin himself was not up to the task and the civil servants fought back fiercely, leading to the current situation.

The civil servants also submitted their proposals to him, but they were essentially the same thing in a different form; they could not possibly target the gentry class to which they belonged.

So Zhu Houzhao is still very confused now. If things continue like this, his ambitions will become castles in the air and bubbles in the water...

But what Zhu Houxun showed him these days made him see a different view.

If we follow Zhu Houxuan's words and develop coal-iron complex and industry, then his ambitions may be realized...

Zhu Houxuan showed him these things to implicitly express his true feelings to him - he, Zhu Houxuan, was willing to come out and assist Zhu Houzhao!
As for why not say it clearly, but make it so obscure.

Zhu Houzhao believed that this was a sign that Zhu Houxun's work style had matured, and he understood the reasons behind it very well.

With regard to the vassal policy of the Ming Dynasty, you asked a vassal king to directly express his desire to come out and do things? You are jealous of the vassal king's good life!
At this point, Zhu Houzhao knew that he should express his opinion. After all, Zhu Houxuan had demonstrated his ability and expressed his will to him, and Zhu Houxuan had done what he could.

All he needed to do now was to give Zhu Houxuan a strong invitation and promise.

He was about to speak but hesitated. He knew that as long as he extended the invitation, Zhu Houxuan would definitely agree given his relationship with him, but once Zhu Houxuan took this step, he would never be able to turn back...

What kind of life is Zhu Houxuan living now?
He has a loving mother, enjoying the happiness of family life; he has a lovely wife and concubines, enjoying the bliss of life; he has children who are constantly born and are in his care; he also has various profitable businesses, so he will never have to worry about money in his life; his status is very high, and it is impossible for anyone to bully him...

Even though my personal freedom was restricted in the past, I have lifted it now...

It can be said that Zhu Houxuan’s current life is the ultimate that people of this era can imagine…

But what if Zhu Houxun was invited by me to assist me?

He will face all kinds of intrigues and even bloodshed...

After he steps onto the stage, he will face the scrutiny of everyone, and all his actions will be carefully analyzed and observed. He steps onto the stage to do things, and doing things will lead to mistakes. The more things he does, the more mistakes he will make...

By then, the attacks on him will be pervasive, and people all over the world will point fingers at him. Can he withstand such great pressure?
Is this really good for him?

Zhu Houzhao really hesitated...

"Royal brother, why are you in a daze?" Zhu Houxun stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Zhu Houzhao.

"Ah? It's okay!" Zhu Houzhao said quickly. He looked at the high-spirited Zhu Houxun and suddenly made up his mind. He asked: "Brother, do you still remember the memorial that was sent with this Bloodthirsty Sword?"

"Of course I remember, I remember every word on it!" Zhu Houxuan was shocked and said in a sonorous voice.

"I also remember every word in that memorial..." Zhu Houzhao showed a look of reminiscence, "That memorial inspired me for a long time..."

Zhu Houxuan did not speak, but looked at Zhu Houzhao with burning eyes.

"I remember that memorial said that you are willing to hold the whip for me..." Zhu Houzhao's heart began to beat rapidly.

"Yes!" Zhu Houxuan said with great certainty, his eyes full of determination as he looked straight at Zhu Houzhao.

"Brother, I don't want you to hold the horse and whip for me..." Zhu Houzhao controlled himself and kept his voice from trembling...

"Brother wants... wants..." Zhu Houzhao, who hadn't asked for help for a long time, suddenly couldn't say the word, but things had come to this point, so he gave it a try, "I want to ask you to come to the capital to help me..."

After Zhu Houzhao said this, he felt much more relaxed...

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao had said this, Zhu Houxuan naturally could not let this word fall on the floor, and hurriedly said: "Brother, why do you say this? If you need my help, just tell me. I will definitely do my best to help you!"

Zhu Houzhao was very pleased with Zhu Houxun's attitude.

"Brother, you have to think carefully. Life in the capital will not be as good as it is now..." Zhu Houzhao reminded.

"Brother, do you look down on me?" Zhu Houxuan pretended to be angry.

"Brother, I have absolutely no such intention!" Zhu Houzhao said quickly.

"My brother's family here is just a small one, and I lead the big one. If the big one is not peaceful, my small family will not be at peace! My brother is willing to sacrifice my small family to protect the big one!" Zhu Houxuan said excitedly.

"Great! If the big family is not at peace, the small family will not be at peace. It is great to sacrifice the small family to protect the big family!" Zhu Houzhao exclaimed!
"My brother also has the blood of Taizu and Taizong flowing in his veins. My brother's blood is still hot and I am willing to shed all my blood for my brother!" Zhu Houxun continued to express his emotions.

"Great!" Zhu Houzhao also became excited, holding Zhu Houxuan's hand tightly and said, "We brothers are united and can break iron with our strength!"

"Brothers, let's work together!" Zhu Houxuan also said firmly.

The two people held hands tightly together.

After the two men's emotions calmed down a little, Zhu Houzhao took advantage of the situation and talked about his plan.

"Since you have agreed to go to the capital to help me, as the saying goes, if your name is not right, then your words will not flow. If you want to help me, you must have a suitable official position. I have already thought about it on the way to Qizhou. After you arrive in the capital, you should first accept the position of Minister of Revenue. Although this official position is of a lower grade, it can best bring out your talents."

Zhu Houxuan was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.
Minister of Revenue? Still willing to give in?

This is a bit of a big step!

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's excited face, Zhu Houxun couldn't help but pour cold water on him and said, "Royal brother, I can't be the Minister of Revenue."
