My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 53

Zhu Zhanhe made outstanding achievements one after another, Zhu Di was happy and asked him what he wanted directly, which stumped him instead.

What do you want?

To be an official?He is already the eldest son, and he will be the prince in the future, and he can only be the emperor if he goes further.

Want power?The power of the prince is not small, and he can only ask for the emperor's jade seal.

VIP?If Zhu Zhanhe asks for [-] elite soldiers, it is estimated that Zhu Di will kill his relatives on the spot. What else can he do with so many soldiers other than rebellion?
Other than that, there seems to be nothing else to do.

Seeing Zhu Zhanhe's embarrassed expression, Zhu Di suddenly smiled and said, "Zhanhe, I heard that you spent a lot of money yesterday in exchange for a female officer next to your elder brother?"

"This one……"

Zhu Zhanhe was embarrassed when he heard the words, and didn't know how to answer.

"Young Muai, it's human nature. If you like it, how about I reward you with some beautiful maids?"

Zhu Di asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Women are not a big deal to the royal family at all. On the contrary, Zhu Di hopes that his children and grandchildren will spread out more and increase the population of their lineage.

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for your kindness. Because of what happened yesterday, my mother punished me to kneel in the Buddhist hall until midnight, so I don't dare to ask for any more beauties!"

Zhu Zhanhe hastily refused.

After yesterday's incident, the label of "lust" on him must not be erased.

"Hahaha~"

Zhu Di laughed out loud when he heard the words, and then said again.

"Your mother is also doing it for your own good. You are still young. As the so-called juvenile abstinence lies in sex, your body has not yet matured, so you must not be addicted to female sex!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for your teaching, but what you said reminds my grandson that I know what I want!"

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly slapped his hands and said excitedly.

"what do you want?"

Zhu Di leaned forward and asked with great interest.

"Hey, I... this..."

Zhu Zhanhe actually showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"I want to ask Grandpa Huang for some pocket money!"

Zhu Zhanhe finally spoke out his request.

"What? You... you asked me for money?"

Zhu Di was also stunned. After he became emperor, some people asked him for land, some people asked him for official positions, and some people even asked him for military power, but it was the first time he met someone asking him for money, and this person was his relative. grandson.

"It's pocket money, you don't need too much, just enough to spend!"

Zhu Zhanhe said again with a sad face on purpose.

Of course he knew it was absurd to ask the emperor for money, but on the surface he was asking for money, but what he really wanted was family affection.

For ordinary people, when the grandson is short of money, it is normal to ask the grandpa for some pocket money. Even if the grandson doesn’t want it, the grandpa will force it, because this is one of the ways to communicate between grandparents and grandchildren.

But for the royal family, it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen. First, the royal descendants generally do not lack money, and second, they dare not ask the emperor for money. Therefore, Zhu Di should have never experienced this kind of emotional exchange between grandparents and grandchildren. Way.

Now Zhu Zhanhe wants Zhu Di to make up for this lesson and deepen the relationship between the two.

Why is Zhu Zhanji so favored?In addition to being the eldest son and grandson, the most important thing is that he has been with Zhu Di since he was a child, and he has cultivated a deep relationship between his grandparents and grandchildren. As long as this kind of family relationship exists, his position as grandson will be unbreakable.

Seeing his grandson crying to him about being poor, Zhu Di felt a very strange feeling, wanting to laugh but also very warm. The grandson went over his parents to ask him for help, which gave Zhu Di a sense of satisfaction of being needed.

"Why are you short of money, your parents won't give you pocket money?"

Zhu Di asked Zhu Zhanhe with a gentle smile.

"You don't know, yesterday my mother said that I wasted money, so I took my private money away. Now my pocket is cleaner than my face. The beggars on the street may have more money than me."

As Zhu Zhanhe said, he took out his purse and shook his head, indicating that he was not lying.

"You deserve it! Let you waste money."

Zhu Di scolded with a smile, he knew there must be a reason for Zhu Zhanhe's lack of money.

"My grandson, it really shouldn't be too shabby to go out. Tell me, how much pocket money do you want?"

Zhu Di agreed very generously, and felt closer to this grandson when he spoke.

"one thousand……"

As soon as Zhu Zhanhe opened his mouth, he saw Zhu Di's face darken, so he immediately changed his mouth and said, "One hundred guan."

"That's about the same. One guan is enough for a family of five for a month, and one hundred guan is enough for you to spend for a while!"

Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction.

He didn't knock on the door, but just like Princess Han, he didn't want Zhu Zhanhe to take too much money, so that he wouldn't be extravagant.

Zhu Zhanhe couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Zhu Di's words, he always had a lot of money, but if it was enough for five people to use for a month, who knows what year it was?

Because after Zhu Di ascended the throne, the circulation of gold, silver and copper coins was prohibited, and only precious banknotes were allowed to be used. However, the excessive amount of precious banknotes issued in Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court did not recycle them, which led to a severe depreciation of the precious banknotes. , at least cut in half first.

Zhu Di quickly ordered someone to bring one hundred banknotes, and he was very considerate that all of them were the smallest denomination of one hundred coins, probably to make it easier for Zhu Zhanhe to spend them.

A thousand banknotes are stacked together, which is as thick as two Xinhua dictionaries. In addition, the paper of the treasure banknotes is relatively large, so it is full of weight in the hand. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Zhanhe can really hold these treasure banknotes. Kill people.

"Thank you, grandpa!"

Zhu Zhanhe took the banknotes and put them into his chest with great difficulty, feeling as if his chest was stuffed with two bricks.

"Go, come and ask me for it after the flowers are finished!"

Zhu Di waved his hand very generously, making a gesture of a loving grandfather.

Zhu Zhanhe bid farewell and left, and when he got out of Hongwu Gate and saw Ma An waiting, he immediately stuffed the two bricks on his chest into his arms.

"Where did the son get the treasure?"

Holding such a thick stack of banknotes, Ma An also asked in surprise.

"The pocket money rewarded by the emperor's grandfather."

Zhu Zhanhe got on the horse and walked.

"It turned out to be a gift from the emperor, so it must be taken away!"

Hearing the words, Ma An immediately showed a cautious look, and split the thick banknotes into two, stuffing a stack on one side of his chest, which made his chest muscles suddenly swell, and he looked like a pervert.

When Zhu Zhanhe returned to the palace, he learned that Zhang Zhong and Zhu Yong had been waiting for him for a long time.

So Zhu Zhanhe came to the living room, Zhang Zhong and Zhu Yong immediately jumped up when they saw him and shouted: "Zhanhe, you are really famous in the capital now!"

"I guessed it a long time ago, it must not be a good reputation!"

Zhu Zhanhe sat down indifferently, picked up the tea on the table and drank it down in one gulp.

"Then you are wrong, many people have given you a famous nickname now!"

"Oh, what's it called?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked curiously.

"Right now, there are rumors in the capital that you spent millions yesterday just to get a woman from your grandson, so now many people call you the number one love interest of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yong narrated with an exaggerated expression.

"Wait, when did I spend a million guan?"

Although Zhu Zhanhe knew that the rumors were unreliable, it was too exaggerated, right?

"Why don't you have a million dollars? Do the math. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will only be beautiful for ten years at most, and your weaving business will earn at least one hundred thousand dollars a year. Isn't ten years worth a million dollars? The less counts."

Zhang Zhong immediately added.

"That seems to make sense."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded thoughtfully.

"The kind of love is the kind of love. Although it is not a compliment, it is not a derogation."

Zhu Zhanhe breathed a sigh of relief as he spoke, the situation was much better than he expected.

"Zhan He, don't be too happy too early, besides love, there are some people who are jealous of you behind your back and call you..."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhong suddenly spoke again, and stopped talking halfway through.

"What do you call me?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked.

"I call you the number one wronged species of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yong said.

There are so many beauties on the Qinhuai River, and some famous prostitutes hope to redeem themselves. Even if they are invincible, they will not exceed a thousand guan, usually tens of hundreds of guan. What?
"As soon as I went out today, I was surrounded by a group of shameless people, scrambling to say that there are beautiful maids beside them. I want to ask you if you are interested?"

Zhang Zhong added again, Zhu Yong next to him also nodded wildly, obviously he also encountered the same situation.

"Cut~, a group of short-sighted people! It's only a million pennies. They think I'm wronged, but I think I've earned it!"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled contemptuously.

One million guan seems like a lot, but if it can be exchanged for the hundreds of thousands of Ming elites lost in the Civil Fort Battle, and the national fortune lost by Daming, it will be a huge profit.

"Bangdang~"

Unexpectedly, just as Zhu Zhanhe finished speaking, there was a sudden loud noise from behind the screen in the living room, as if something had fallen to the ground?

"Who's behind?"

Zhu Zhanhe frowned and asked.

I saw Sun Ruowei holding a tea tray, walking out from behind the screen with tears in his eyes, obviously she heard the conversation of the three of them just now.

Sun Ruowei stepped forward quickly, knelt down to salute Zhu Zhanhe and said: "In Qiuxing Garden, the son first saved the servant's life, and then spent a lot of money. Such kindness, the servant can't repay it!"

"Hey~ no..."

Zhu Zhanhe anxiously scratched his ears and cheeks, this is really hard to explain!

"Zhan He, I still don't believe that others call you a love. I always feel that you have ulterior motives. Now I see you without any regrets. Now I really believe that you are my number one love in Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Zhong patted Zhu Zhanhe's shoulder and said with admiration.

"Me too!"

Zhu Yong also joined in the fun.

"Forget it, you can think whatever you like!"

Zhu Zhanhe finally sat back on his chair weakly, this time he completely resigned to his fate.
