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

Chapter 124 Am I Too Old!?

Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Zhanhe who ran away with a look of shock and speechlessness on his face.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses. The generals in the room had already left one after another, leaving Yu Qian, who was also in a daze, standing there in a daze.

"Why were you grinning just now!" Zhu Zhanji asked Yu Qian who was sitting on the doorstep.

"The Crown Prince is truly impressive! In just a few moments, he's already offended all the officers in charge of the logistics of the three camps. I truly feel inferior to him!" Yu Qian's words stung Zhu Zhanji's heart, causing him to sigh deeply. However, the two of them tacitly avoided discussing any of Zhu Zhanji's previous conversations. After all, they were truly shocked and unable to explain themselves.

“Although I am only a small horse officer, I can see clearly.

Most of these officers just now rose to prominence during the Jingnan period, and they all became rich!

The army claims to have so many horse officers, but in reality, there are so many of them who are just drawing empty salaries! I'm afraid there aren't even half of them!
The emperor made his fortune with this army, so he might not be unaware of the army's situation! "Yu Qian's words made Zhu Zhanji's face darken...

Late at night, in the military camp, Zhu Zhanhe was about to go to sleep when he was woken up by someone.

"Sir, the emperor summons you!" The fat man Qian Zhongcai's voice was full of impatience.

"What's going on? You're not letting me sleep!" Zhu Zhanhe was full of impatience. After all, disturbing someone's sleep was really annoying! What's more, this was in the military camp, and the maids at home couldn't come. There was not even a warm quilt! This person had just laid down in the quilt and was woken up by someone. It was really unhappy!
"Sir, sir, the emperor is summoning generals and is gathering them in the camp!" Qian Zhongcai walked in helplessly and helped put on armor.

"You're not sleeping so late at night! What a hassle! I'm just a small captain, what do you want me to do? Those big guys have already discussed the marching and fighting, so aren't we, the soldiers, just responsible for charging forward? It's really annoying!" Zhu Zhanhe was disturbed from sleeping and was very unhappy. He put on his armor while complaining.

"Sir, the messenger is waiting outside the door. He won't dare to leave unless you go." Qian Zhongcai listened to Zhu Zhanhe's nagging with a wry smile on his face. While helping him put on his armor, he was speechless in his heart.

After all, how many people are eagerly waiting for the emperor's summons! But this gentleman, in order to sleep, doesn't even want to go to the emperor's summons. It's really a waste of time!

"Just give me the helmet, I'll carry it with me. I need to sleep when I come back, so why are you dressed so neatly?" Zhu Zhanhe, whose sleep was disturbed, complained happily. He didn't even wear a helmet. He just put on the eye mask and ran away holding the helmet.

When they arrived at the central army camp, a group of generals also arrived one after another. They greeted those they knew. Zhu Zhanhe put on his helmet and stood behind Prince Han. After all, no one would disturb him here, and maybe he could even take a nap!

Zhu Zhanhe had just stood up yawning when he heard Emperor Yongle speaking while holding something unknown.

"Tell me, what does he mean by this?" Emperor Yongle half-paralyzed in the chair, handed the document in his hand to Prince Han who was sitting below, and asked this question.

Prince Han took the paper handed over by the emperor with both hands very respectfully and took a quick look at the contents. Prince Zhao beside him also leaned over to take a look.

"Dad, in my opinion, the Oirat and the Tatars have never gotten along, and my Ming Dynasty has spent a lot of money on them!

I guess the leader of the Oirat is coming here, on the one hand, to explore the details of our Great Ming Dynasty! On the other hand, he wants to see who our Great Ming Dynasty is going to deal with, so that he can feel at ease! In my opinion, why don’t we stabilize the Oirat first, let them cooperate with us to destroy the Tatars, and then when we meet again, it won’t be too late to destroy him! "I have to say that Prince Han is really smart when it comes to fighting, and his little calculations are working very well!
"Your calculations can be heard from miles away!" Emperor Yongle lay down comfortably on the chair, looked at the second son who looked shrewd when talking about war, and spoke.

"You guys tell me too," Emperor Yongle asked for others' opinions.

"This Yesen is Mahamu's grandson, just a kid who is still wet behind the ears!" Prince Zhao, who was wearing the bronze pea, looked at the document handed over by his second brother, and his mouth was full of disdain.

"They don't dare to come. If they are detained by us, they will be finished without even having to wait for the war!" Prince Han's mind was really quick when talking about war, and he directly pointed out the key issues.

Zhu Zhanhe listened to the noise and stood behind his father, feeling sleepy and not wanting to listen to them at all!

Just when Zhu Zhanhe was falling asleep, he suddenly felt some movement. He looked up and saw that it was his third uncle Tongwandou who was secretly handing him a document with unknown contents.

You are really my good third uncle! I am almost dying of sleep, and you are still secretly handing me documents! Zhu Zhanhe was speechless when he saw his third uncle secretly handing me documents.

Although he was unhappy, Zhu Zhanhe still took the document handed over by his third uncle and started to read it. The words "Your Majesty the Emperor" and "minister of a humble country" were spoken so humbly. Zhu Zhanhe finished reading the document in his hand with a look of disgust.

To sum it up, my name is Mahamu, and I'm Yesen's grandfather. I heard that you, the Great Emperor, are planning another conquest of the steppes, and I'm terrified. So, I'm coming to see you in person to see what you're up to! Please don't hit me! I'm here to serve you!

"I will meet this Yesen tomorrow afternoon!" While Emperor Yongle was speaking, the Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji opened the tent and walked in. He came to the front of Emperor Yongle, bowed respectfully, and then stood aside.

"Dad, he's just a small chieftain on the grassland. Why do you need to summon him in person?
The third brother and I can just meet him. He doesn't have the face to meet you." It must be said that the Prince of Han said this very beautifully. Zhu Zhanhe behind him wanted to applaud after hearing it.

However, Emperor Yongle had his own ideas and would not be influenced by Prince Han's words.

“Do you know yourself and your enemy? I better meet him!
Am I too old? Have they become disrespectful?!" Emperor Yongle subconsciously stroked his beard and his wrinkled face.

"I don't look heroic enough!" Emperor Yongle looked around and finally pointed at Zhu Zhanji and said.

"Why don't you come?" Emperor Yongle pointed at Zhu Zhanji with an interested look on his face.

"Yes!" Although Zhu Zhanji, who had just come in, didn't know what everyone was talking about, as the crown prince, Zhu Zhanji subconsciously agreed to what Emperor Yongle said. But as soon as he agreed, he was stunned because he was still confused and didn't know what was going on.

"Haha..." The moment Zhu Zhanji agreed, everyone in the tent burst into laughter.

"Anyway, he doesn't know who Emperor Yongle is! As for you, put on the dragon robe and sit on this chair. Scare him for me!" Emperor Yongle stood up from his chair, walked in front of Zhu Zhanji, looked at his stunned grandson, and said with interest.

Just like thinking of something that makes him very happy, Emperor Yongle found this very interesting!
