Zhu Zhanji left with Fang Xing's protection fee and was ready to take it to Zhu Di.
But when he arrived in the palace, Zhu Di stared at him for a long time and looked at him so hard that he stood upside down. Then he said faintly, "it's useless for you to follow Fang Xingxue for a long time and don't know his original intention."
Zhu Zhanji felt wronged, but his head suddenly jumped. He smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa Huang, there is no distinction between public and private."
"You're wrong again."
Zhu Zhanji felt that his head had fainted. He remembered the smile on Fang Xing's face when he sent him out. Now he thought that he should be gloating.
"Fang Xing suggested to me that we should set up a privateering fleet, and the royal family should take shares in it. We should share the looted things."
"Er... My grandson forgot about it."
"Forget it! It's too shocking. Just think he didn't say it."
Seeing his words, Zhu Di fooled his grandson into not finding the north. He couldn't help feeling a little proud, and then asked, "how about Japan?"
Zhu Zhanji thought about it, summarized the information, and then said, "Japan is building a fleet. Recently, the SPO family seems to be in line, but they are secretly recruiting troops and horses. If Zu Liyi holds the courage to invade North Korea, the SPO family will stab him in the back."
Zhu Di took the globe that Zhu Zhanji was filial to him, turned it to the Japanese side, stared for a moment and said, "Fang Xing wants to turn that sea into the inner sea of Daming, do you know?"
"Grandson knows."
Zhu Zhanji pointed to the sea and said, "Grandpa Huang, starting from kuwu, if we take down Japan and Korea, this sea area is my Daming's bathtub, which gives Daming a strategic depth. If there are enemies coming from the sea in the future, he has to take down these places first, which gives me Daming time to calmly prepare for counterattack."
Zhu Di looked deep, playfully pointed to an island and asked, "why is there no Sulu?"
Zhu Zhanji said positively, "Grandpa Huang, if we can take down the old port propaganda and comfort department, you see, starting from kuwu, Japan, xiaoryukyu... All the way to Temasek, the first defense line of Daming at sea will be formed. No one can block our fleet. We can go out as we want."
Zhu Di's mouth turned slightly and listened to Zhu Zhanji's passionate speech.
"... take this huge island about the size of Daming again. Grandpa Huang, you see, this endless sea area is the place where I Daming can use. Resources and population... Grandpa Huang, Daming must go to the sea and control the sea if he wants to become the master of the world, otherwise... His grandson is reckless. Grandpa Huang forgives."
Looking at Zhu Zhanji kneeling in front of him, Zhu Di's eyes were so complex that the eunuch shrank his neck when he saw it.
For a long time, Zhu Di said faintly, "talk on paper! Go!"
After Zhu Zhanji left, Zhu Di had been looking at this humble globe for a long time.
The next day, Zhu Zhanji went to Fang's house and made a circle of Xiao Bai and Zhang Shuhui last night. Fang, who was too tired to get up, woke up.
"Why can't you come back later? Don't you think about it. I've been there for half a year. It's like there are countless beauties in your house. There is a charming beauty in the palace waiting for you to grow up and send it to bed. It's really a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man..."
Zhu Zhanji said awkwardly, "brother Dehua, my little brother has encountered some troubles and wants to talk to you."
Fang woke up, yawned, rubbed his eyes and said, "what scared you to come early in the morning. Tell me."
"Brother Dehua, are you too sharp?"
what?
Fang Xing let go of his hand and looked at Zhu Zhanji blankly. "You don't want to usurp the throne? Your majesty found out, so you want to come to me and run away?"
Zhu Zhanji sighed, "brother Dehua, I'm serious about asking you."
"All right."
Fang woke up and drank a mouthful of strong tea. He cheered up and said, "you showed up in front of your majesty... Just pointing out the country. Afterwards, you felt wrong and panicked?"
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "yes, yesterday, my little brother put the sea in the first place and said he wanted to seize the first maritime defense line we said."
"It's a little ahead of schedule."
Daming is concerned about the sea, but he is worried.
Zheng He's fleet not only brought a lot of harvest each time, but also expanded Daming's vision and knew that the outside world was very big.
But
Fang woke up and sighed, "Your Majesty, you think you're old! You're worried that you'll be radical at that time. Those civil servants won't easily compromise. If things don't go well, Daming will have a Jingnan, okay?"
The old lion saw the little lion roaring at his prey. His mentality was really complicated.
Zhu Zhanji sighed, "Grandpa Huang is still practicing every day. My little brother thinks it should be OK for 20 years."
Zhu Zhanji only dared to talk to Fang Xing about how many years the emperor still had.
Fang Xing didn't know which year Zhu Di went, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty is here, those civil servants can't turn over. If... The atmosphere in the court must turn over. I may be forced to go to a remote place and can't return to the central plains all my life."
"Little brother, I won't let this scene appear!"
Zhu Zhanji felt that Fang Xing despised himself. He raised his head and said, "those civil servants are conservative, but I am not conservative. The world is so big. If Daming continues to shrink in one place, he will repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty sooner or later!"
Fang Xing smiled: "don't be radical. I wish Daming was interested in the sea from top to bottom overnight, but you have to know that most people in the world are full of unknown awe of the sea, which leads to timidity and unwillingness to take risks."
Zhu Zhanji only felt depressed in his chest, so he said, "always take that step. It's better to leave early than late, otherwise there's not enough time!"
"How old are you?"
When Fang woke up and remembered Zhu Zhanji's early death, he frowned and said, "your body should be well maintained as I said. The first is to change your diet and don't eat too much meat."
The royal family's eating habits make Fang Xing very uncomfortable, too greasy and too much meat.
Zhu Zhanji said shyly, "my little brother has eaten like this since childhood. He can't change it for a while, but he will pay attention in the future."
Fang woke up completely. He asked, "has king Zhao gone back?"
"No, I haven't left." Zhu Zhanji said unswervingly, "Uncle Zhao goes into the palace every day to talk to Grandpa Huang. Many people in the court say he is pure filial piety, respectful to civil servants and polite to Xun Qi. Anyway, he is perfect."
"There is light outside the horse shit, and a bag of bran inside!"
Fang Xing said contemptuously, "King Zhao is too feminine and soft, and can't even compare with the reckless king of the Han Dynasty, but most people like this seemingly talkative king, but smart people know that this is just extravagant hope."
Zhu Di is not a fool. If he didn't know much about the profession of emperor and was impulsive in the past, King Zhao was just a pet here.
Zhu Zhanji smiled: "but Uncle Zhao and Ji Gang have never moved around during this period of time. Even Huang Yan has never said good words to Uncle Zhao."
"What's the use of saying it now?"
Fang Xing said, "now it's icing on the cake. Wait until King Zhao leaves, then you can recall your Majesty's yearning, human spirit!"
