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

Chapter 7 He'er has grown up

Yes, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han guessed from his son's daily living habits that his son was going to go out to sea to seek immortals, so he ignored his son's repeated requests to place people in Zheng He's fleet to go out to sea.

Even when his own son asked him several times for blueprints of the large ships and nautical charts of Zheng He's fleet that sailed to the West, he refused to agree. Even when his son complained to him several times, he simply didn't listen.

"Son, son, don't listen to your father. He doesn't care at all. Tell me what you want and I will get it for you. You just came back and must be exhausted. Go down and have a rest. Jian'er, Yun'er, serve the prince well." Seeing that the father and son were about to disagree again, Princess Wei quickly changed the subject.

In fact, Princess Wei also knew what her son was requesting. She very much agreed with her prince's approach on this matter, and also believed that her precious son should not go out to sea to search for immortals!

Zhu Zhanhe looked at his father busy eating and ignoring him, and his mother trying to smooth things over, with a look of helplessness on his face.

He could also guess what his father and mother were thinking, but as a modern man, he had never thought about going out to sea to look for immortals. What he wanted was to find his Dragon King as soon as possible, and to find some high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. By then, he would be rich and prosperous in his fiefdom, with beautiful women and wine every day, and he could do whatever he wanted. It was a wonderful thought!

But I can't tell this directly to my dad and the others, because even if I tell them, they won't believe it.

Besides, the blueprints of Zheng He's fleet are treasures. It is very difficult to build such a huge wooden fleet in later generations, let alone now. The blueprints were burned in the later period. It's a pity. I already have such a big crocodile as the Dragon King. It is reasonable to build another fleet. But how can I tell this to my father and mother? They may not believe it even if I tell them. Besides, the crocodile is not around. It will be troublesome!

"I am indeed a little tired, Dad and Mom. I'm going to go back and rest first." Zhu Zhanhe also knew that things could not be rushed, and he would find a chance to tell his father later, so he knelt down to greet them and left.

"Go, go." Father Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and let him leave.

Watching Zhu Zhanhe walk away, Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu took a sip of wine in frustration, put down the wine glass in his hand, and looked at his wife helplessly.

"Wife, what should we do? He mentioned this again. Do you have any good ideas?" The arrogant Prince Han also put aside his pride at this time. He looked helpless and frowned. At this time, he was asking his wife for help.

"I will persuade He'er again." Princess Wei was helpless about her son's matter, her beautiful brows were furrowed. She had no good solution and could only persuade him again.

"You have been trying to persuade him for several years, but he still hasn't come to his senses." Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu took a sip of wine in frustration, frowned, and even the beard at the corners of his mouth trembled, and he said unhappily.

"If you have a way, think about it yourself!" Princess Wei did not tolerate her husband's complaints at all, and directly retorted. At home, her son is her confidence. She is not afraid of the Prince of Han!
"Prince, Princess, I have something to say." Seeing that Prince Han and Princess were about to quarrel, Aunt Xiu'er spoke up.

"Xiu'er, do you have a solution? Tell us quickly!" Princess Wei was the first to react, with a look of surprise on her face. As long as it was related to her son, she would always be the quickest.

"Tell me about it," Prince Zhu Gaoxu of Han also had a look of great interest on his face. After all, it was related to his own heir, and there couldn't be any problems. So he also asked with shining eyes.

"Your Highness, Princess, while the Crown Prince was washing up just now, I went to check on him. Jian'er and Yun'er were helping him wash up, and I realized he's truly grown up! He's become an adult!" Aunt Xiu'er said with certainty. "Grown up? What do you mean? He's sixteen, so he must be grown up." Prince Zhu Gaoxu of Han hadn't reacted yet, his face full of doubt.

"My son has grown up?! Great, that's great." Princess Wei of Han understood and was stunned at first, then her face was full of surprise.

"Xiu'er, did He'er...?" Suddenly, Princess Wei of Han thought of something, so she wanted to ask whether her son had done anything with the two maids.

"No, no, Princess, the Crown Prince is a true gentleman." Xiu'er was very satisfied with Zhu Zhanhe, who had been raised since childhood. She had just seen Zhu Zhanhe washing and dressing with the help of two maids, and she was very pleased that he could actually resist the impulse of a young man. This was the character that could accomplish great things.

"Prince Han, my son is sixteen years old and has grown up. I am planning to find him a wife. If you have any ideas, please tell me so that I can be prepared." Princess Wei looked at her husband with disdain. He was so slow to react and didn't act like a father at all! But when she thought of her son, she smiled again. Her son was a good boy!
However, regarding her son's marriage, she still had to discuss it with Prince Han. After all, Prince Han was always thinking about taking things a step further, so he definitely had his own ideas. So Princess Wei asked Prince Han what he thought.

"Grown up? An adult?!!! Okay, okay, okay, my son is sixteen years old. Find a wife for my son as soon as possible. I want my grandson to be born before my eldest brother's grandson. I want to train him well!" The Prince of Han also reacted at this time. He said three "good" words in a row with an excited look on his face.

"Xiu'er, you make the arrangements." Princess Wei on the other side looked at Xiu'er beside her meaningfully and spoke.

"Yes," Xiu'er agreed without hesitation, leaving Prince Han stunned.

In fact, what Prince Han Zhu Gaoxu wanted to say just now was that his father, Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, had his eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji when he was 39 years old, so he really decided to rebel, and he, Prince Han, also wanted to have his own eldest grandson before he was 39 years old!
the other side.

Zhu Zhanhe had no intention of going back to rest at this time. He was not tired at all and wanted to go out for a walk.

"Come on, prepare the horses and go to Chaotian Palace." Zhu Zhanhe decided to go to Chaotian Palace to see his Taoist teacher, or Qigong teacher Zhang Zhengheng, who is a master of the same generation as the contemporary Tianshi Zhang Zhengchang. He is already 76 years old this year and has reached the age when Confucius said to follow one's heart and not go beyond the rules. He now lives in Chaotian Palace in Shuntian Prefecture. He just came back, so it is only right for him to pay a visit to his teacher.

When he slowly arrived at the gate of the palace, his uncle Wei Jizhong had already prepared a horse for him, and there were also several servants accompanying him. But judging from their body shape and appearance, they were clearly soldiers who had just been sent to the scene. However, Zhu Zhanhe did not say anything. It must be his father's arrangement. An assassination had just happened, so it was better to be on guard.

Afterwards, Zhu Zhanhe rode on the horse and, accompanied by a team of eight servants, leisurely headed towards Chaotian Palace. He did not order anyone to drive away the people along the way, but instead enjoyed the lives of the people along the way while moving forward leisurely.

Of course, the horse he rode was definitely not the BMW he borrowed from his grandfather, but one he picked up at random from his own Hanwang Mansion. However, even if it was one picked up at random from the Hanwang Mansion, it was still a rare BMW on the market.

"Chaotian Palace" Not long after, Zhu Zhanhe led a group of servants to the gate of Chaotian Palace. Looking at the big words "Chaotian Palace", he read them silently on his horse with no expression on his face.

　Chaotian Palace did exist in the Ming Dynasty, but Zhang Zhengheng was a fictional character in the plot.
