My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 550 Zhu Gaosui is going to Japan
Zhu Zhanhe returned home and shut himself in his study to think carefully.

Regarding the fact that Zhu Gaosui was going to Japan, he didn't think clearly about it at first. Although he wanted Zhu Gaosui to go away, preferably never to come back, he always felt that the other party's sudden suggestion of going to Japan was revealing. It was a bit weird, so I didn’t rush to agree.

Now back home, Zhu Zhanhe finally had time to analyze the matter calmly, and finally figured it out quickly. Zhu Gaosui was interested in the Iwami Silver Mine and even wanted to take it for himself!
You must know that the Iwami Silver Mine has huge reserves, and it will not be mined in three to five years, but may take hundreds of years to mine.

Now that Zhu Di is older, to put it bluntly, God knows if he closes his eyes one day, he may not be able to wake up the next day.

If Zhu Di dies, Zhu Gaochi's political views are completely different from those of Zhu Di. By then, no one can be sure about the direction of the Ming Dynasty's overseas territories. Therefore, Zhu Gaosui wants to act first and go to Japan to lay the foundation first, so that if the Ming Dynasty has If he changes, he will immediately become king in Japan.

"No, Japan is in a corner. With Third Uncle's ambition, I'm afraid he won't be able to see it at all, even if it has a silver mine."

Zhu Zhanhe suddenly shook his head to deny his guess, and then thought of America again.

"The third uncle often comes to the palace. He must have heard the emperor talk about the Americas. If you want to go to the Americas, Japan is the only place you must pass. He has occupied Japan. The cornucopia of silver mines is at his fingertips. In the future, he will be able to plot the Americas. He is really good at it. What a good calculation!"

Zhu Zhanhe whispered again.

This time he believed that his analysis was correct, and Zhu Gaosui was already preparing for his retreat.

However, although he understood Zhu Gaosui's plan, Zhu Zhanhe was not very disgusted. As long as Zhu Gaosui did not cause trouble in the Ming Dynasty, he could actually accept it.

Moreover, the world is so big, and most of the area is still a wasteland. If Zhu Gaosui really has the ability to go from Japan to America, then Zhu Zhanhe will look at him with admiration.

So after careful consideration, Zhu Zhanhe finally decided to support Zhu Gaosui's idea. Could it be that this third uncle was so ambitious that going to torment the Japanese was much better than staying in the Ming Dynasty and tormenting his own people.

Just a few days later, Zhu Di suddenly called Zhu Zhanhe to Wuying Hall, and immediately asked him when they met: "I heard from the third child, do you support him going to Japan?"

"Ah? What did Third Uncle say?"

Zhu Zhanhe was deliberately stunned for a moment and did not express his position immediately, but asked.

"Your third uncle said that he saw the war going on in Shijian Country. Now that your eldest brother is back, he is worried that there is a problem with the silver mine there, so he wants to go and sit in person to help share my worries. Moreover, he also I told you about this and you expressed your support.”

Zhu Di said in a low voice that Zhu Gaosui suddenly came to see him this morning and said that he wanted to go to Japan. However, Zhu Di did not agree to him immediately. Instead, he called Zhu Zhanhe to ask for his opinion.

"Grandpa Qi, my third uncle suddenly invited me for a drink a few days ago, and he did tell me that he was going to Japan. I didn't express my position at the time, I just said that I wanted to think about it."

Zhu Zhanhe told the truth, he would not help Zhu Gaosui lie in front of Zhu Di.

"Then what are you thinking about?"

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows. This was in line with his guess about Zhu Zhanhe. After all, he didn't know the relationship between Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Gaosui. No matter how he thought about it, Zhu Zhanhe would not support Zhu Gaosui.

"Grandpa Huang, I think it's rare for my third uncle to take the initiative to ask for something, and it's also going overseas, so I should support him no matter what!" Zhu Zhanhe deliberately hesitated before expressing his stance.

"Eh? You actually support your third uncle?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened in surprise. He even thought that the sun was rising in the west today.
But Zhu Di soon came to his senses, and immediately slapped the table and said: "I understand, do you want your third uncle to go as far as possible, so that you are out of sight and out of mind, so you agreed to support him in going to Japan?" ?”

"Grandpa Huang, you have really wronged me. Although my third uncle and I have some conflicts, we are uncle and nephew after all. I definitely want to wish him well."

Zhu Zhanhe paused at this point, then continued.

"As for supporting the third uncle to go to Japan, the main reason is that the third uncle wants to go to Japan. It is rare for him to have the ambition and ambition to do something serious. Whether it is emotional or rational, I have no reason to refuse, so I will support him!"

"Well, I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. I am very pleased that you can help your third uncle like this!"

Zhu Di laughed, and then really showed a look of relief.

After all, for an old man like Zhu Di, seeing his children and grandchildren working together is more important than anything else.

"Grandpa Huang is serious. In fact, it would be better for my third uncle to go to Japan. After all, my father has also gone to Tianzhu. He always stays in the capital and it is easy for people to gossip. Going to Japan will give you something to do, and Grandpa Huang will have less to worry about. .”

Zhu Zhanhe said again.

Zhu Di nodded when he heard this, and then said again: "What you said makes sense. The third child is not young anymore. He can't stay under my wings all the time. I hope he can be better than Zhan Ji and go to Japan." Embarrass me!"

Hearing Zhu Di mention Zhu Zhanji again, Zhu Zhanhe wanted to praise Zhu Gaosui some more, but he immediately shut up. After all, it was inconvenient for him to express any opinions on Zhu Zhanji now, even if it was just a slight brush. Nope either.

Zhu Di saw that Zhu Zhanhe was silent and quickly understood what he was worried about. After seeing him sigh secretly, he suddenly asked Zhu Zhanhe directly: "Zhanhe, you don't have to worry about anything. This time you Brother made a mistake, how do you think he should be punished?"

"Didn't Grandpa Huang already put the eldest brother in solitary confinement? I think this is enough. After all, although the eldest brother was at fault, the main responsibility this time still lies with Marquis Anyuan."

Zhu Zhanhe did not answer directly, but replied cautiously.

"It's different. Liu Sheng made a mistake. At worst, he will be demoted. But your eldest brother is the grandson and the future crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. He made a mistake and must change it. Otherwise, how will he be in charge of these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the future?"

Zhu Di slammed the table as he spoke, with a look of hatred on his face.

The original intention of sending Zhu Zhanji to Japan was to allow him to increase his knowledge, broaden his horizons, and exercise his own abilities.

In the end, Zhu Zhanji was lucky. The last time the prisoners of war rebelled, it could be said that he was careless, but this time the Japanese army invaded Shi Jianguo in a large scale, and he failed to organize troops to fight back. You must know that Shijianguo actually had the strength to fight back. For example, Huang Wenyu finally It was with the help of thousands of prisoners of war that they turned the tables and directly penetrated the enemy camp.

But Zhu Zhanji failed to do it. This was what made Zhu Di most disappointed. During this period of time, he kept Zhu Zhanji in confinement. In fact, he had not thought about how to deal with him?
