Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 103 Give him this gold medal!

Soon, Little Nose brought his people to the emperor's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Little Nose requests to see you!" Before entering the door, Little Nose respectfully asked outside the door whether he could bring someone in.

"Come in, everyone, and clean up this bedroom!" As soon as Little Nose finished speaking, the heavy voice of Emperor Yongle was heard from the bedroom.

"Yes!" Little Nose finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked in with the eunuchs. As soon as he entered the door, Little Nose saw Emperor Yongle, as well as Monk Daoyan and His Royal Highness the Prince of Han beside the emperor.

"Greetings to the Emperor! Greetings to Master Daoyan and His Highness Zhanhe!" After Little Nose entered the room, he saw several people in the room and immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Okay, let's clean up!" Emperor Yongle waved his hand to let everyone off the hook, and ordered everyone to start working.

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Little Nose respectfully returned the greeting, turned around and waved his hand, and the eunuchs behind him started to take action.

The eunuchs began to clean the room very quickly, and the entire palace was soon cleaned. The room suddenly looked brand new, and Zhu Zhanhe felt that the air was much more comfortable.

The eunuchs only left behind that quilt - the Dhāra Sutra quilt!
"What do you want? Grandpa, I will give it to you!" At this moment, Emperor Yongle smiled lovingly, looking at his grandson in front of him, and the more he looked, the more he liked him. He had never realized that this grandson of the second son's family was so outstanding.

"Really? Anything is fine with you? No regrets?" Zhu Zhanhe was not afraid of Emperor Yongle at all and spoke directly.

"Don't worry, grandpa will never regret what he said! Anything is fine!" Emperor Yongle looked at his calm and composed grandson in front of him with interest, his face full of determination.

"Give me a blank imperial edict!" Zhu Zhanhe said it casually without any hesitation.

These words made Emperor Yongle look dazed.

However, Emperor Yongle waved his hand, and the little boy beside him quickly brought a blank imperial edict.

"Then I won't be polite!" Zhu Zhanhe took the blank imperial edict from Xiao Bisi and shook it in his hand, ignoring Xiao Bisi's hesitant look. He walked straight to the desk where Emperor Yongle worked, spread out the imperial edict, pondered for a moment, and then picked up his pen to write.

Emperor Yongle looked at his grandson standing in front of the table with a dazed look in his eyes, as if the person in front of him was a real emperor!
A moment later, Zhu Zhanhe handed the imperial edict he had written to Emperor Yongle.

"Grandpa, this is a gift for you. After you finish reading it, I will tell you the reward I want. Don't feel bad when the time comes!" Zhu Zhanhe casually handed over the written imperial edict.

Emperor Yongle was also taken aback when he heard Zhu Zhanhe's words. A gift for me? Then he slowly opened it.

"What caught my eye were rows of words that looked as powerful as if they were chopped by a knife or an axe. It read:
Wherever the sun and moon shine, and wherever the rivers flow, all is the territory of the Great Ming.

"No marriage, no compensation, no cession of territory, no tribute, the emperor guards the national border, the king dies for the country." These words hit Emperor Yongle like a huge hammer hitting his heart! And the signature was written: "The first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty!" And there was a blank space.

"Grandpa, if you think this is a good idea, why not leave your name on it?" Zhu Zhanhe looked at the dazed Emperor Yongle and reminded him softly that the blank space was for signature.

"Okay!" Emperor Yongle was not polite and directly signed his name on it - the two words Zhu Di!
"Take a look!" After Emperor Yongle signed the edict, he thought the calligraphy and the content were both excellent and completely in line with his heart. He became more and more satisfied. Finally, he showed the edict to the monk Daoyan who was standing beside him.

"Grandpa likes your gift very much. Tell me what you want!" Emperor Yongle was in a very good mood at the moment! So he spoke with a smile on his face!

"My grandson wants a complete fleet for sailing to the West!" Zhu Zhanhe said what he wanted most! A complete fleet for Zheng He's sailing to the West!

"What?!" Emperor Yongle was completely bewildered. I'd reward you with something, even if you wanted the title of Crown Prince. Given your merits, I'd consider it. But why do you want a fleet? Are you going to sail to the West yourself? Do you think I'd agree?
Do you agree that the current Qilin son of my Zhu family, who may also be the future supreme ruler, should go to sea in person?! Immediately, Emperor Yongle's expression changed!
"Good words! Good sentences! You are worthy of being His Highness Zhanhe!" Just when the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, Monk Daoyan spoke, interrupting the uneasy atmosphere in the room.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the old monk observed the celestial phenomena last night. Today is the day of his passing, so I have come to bid farewell to Your Majesty!" Monk Daoyan gently placed down the imperial edict in his hand, clasped his hands together, and saluted the two men. He then said, "Little Sniff, build a bonfire in the palace. After the master's passing, the relics must be returned to the temple!" Emperor Yongle ordered Little Sniff to go out and continue his work. He wanted to burn the old monk to ashes just in case!

"You should go home too!" Emperor Yongle said this in front of Zhu Zhanhe and drove Zhu Zhanhe away. He was very upset now!
"Congratulations, Master, on achieving enlightenment and ascending to paradise!" Zhu Zhanhe knew that Monk Daoyan had to die! Especially during the discussion just now, Monk Daoyan had offered many constructive suggestions. Emperor Yongle would never let him go back. Not even his clothes could be left behind. He would only return as a pile of bones!
"Your Highness, I will leave soon!" Monk Daoyan also knew that he was going to die, so he said goodbye to Zhu Zhanhe.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving!" Zhu Zhanhe also saw that Emperor Yongle was in a bad mood, so he quickly ran away. He didn't want to see his ugly face!

Watching Zhu Zhanhe leave, Monk Daoyan was the first to speak, interrupting Emperor Yongle's desire to speak.

"Your Majesty, that Dhula Sutra quilt was prepared for me by His Highness!

The monk has already completed the deduction of the nation's destiny that the emperor asked me to deduce. Someone will naturally hand it over to the emperor in the future!
"Your Majesty, the old monk has to go first." After saying this, Monk Daoyan took out a pill from his arms, swallowed it, and passed away in just a moment!
Emperor Yongle looked at his dead old friend and then at his departed grandson, and suddenly felt so lonely!

So, Emperor Yongle picked up the imperial edict that his grandson had just written and read it carefully again.

About half an hour later, Little Sniff came in carrying a small box.

"Your Majesty, this is the relic from Master Daoyan's body. Please take a look!"

Emperor Yongle took the relics and examined them carefully one by one.

"Little Sniffle!" Emperor Yongle suddenly called out to Little Sniffle beside him.

"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Little Sniff quickly knelt on the ground and responded respectfully.

"Give this gold medal to that brat!

Tell him I like the gift very much!

Let him follow his father to the military camp for training!

I will carefully consider his request!" Emperor Yongle took out a golden token from his waist and handed it to Xiao Bisi.

"Yes!" After hearing this, Little Nose looked at the special gold medal in his hand in horror. The medal was obviously different from other gold medals, but he still took it respectfully.

After taking the gold medal, Little Sniffle slowly retreated!
Emperor Yongle looked at the box of relics on the table, his eyes gradually becoming blurred...

"Old monk..."

On the other side, Zhu Zhanhe came out of the bedroom, looked up at the moon in the sky, and then walked towards the palace gate.

At this moment, at the palace gate, Hu Shangyi and Hu Shanxiang were still waiting at the palace gate.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Han!" Hu Shangyi and Hu Shanxiang looked at the person coming and quickly saluted.

"You're too polite, my lords! Grandpa has finished his work. Remember to send him some hot food!" Zhu Zhanhe didn't want to get involved too much with the two of them, especially since so many people died in the palace yesterday and there was no movement today! Besides, he had just come out of the palace!
"Young Master, please get on the horse!" After leaving the palace, Xiao Xizi had already prepared the horse and was waiting for a long time.

Hu Shanxiang and Hu Shangyi looked at the leaving Prince of Han with different expressions, wondering what they were thinking.
