My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 909 Son (Part )

"Father!"

A tall young man stepped into the hall and saluted Zhu Zhanhe solemnly.

I saw that this boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old. Although he had black hair and black eyes, his facial features were relatively three-dimensional and he could be seen to be somewhat different from the Han people. He was Zhu Qikai, the son of Zhu Zhanhe and Helen.

"How are you preparing? Have you said goodbye to your eldest brother and the others?"

Zhu Zhanhe raised his head, looked at his son and asked with a smile.

"I've already said goodbye. My eldest brother held a banquet to see me off last night. As a result, we were all drunk, so we got up late today."

Zhu Qikai also showed a bit of embarrassment when he said he was drunk.

"Haha, it's okay for young people to drink some wine, but don't be greedy. After all, wine can ruin things!"

Zhu Zhanhe laughed first, and then warned him again. Maybe it was because he was older, and sometimes his speech became a bit verbose.

"Yes, I actually don't like drinking, and neither do my eldest brother and the others. If it wasn't to see me off, we wouldn't drink so much."

Zhu Qikai explained.

"You guys are like me in this regard. I don't like to drink. No matter what kind of wine I drink, I can only feel the spiciness in it and no other taste!"

Zhu Zhanhe also complained that he really didn't like drinking. No matter in his previous life or this life, unless he couldn't give it up, he would never drink at all.

"Father, how is my mother?"

At this time, Zhu Qikai suddenly hesitated before asking.

He has grown up, and according to the rules of the palace, he has long moved to live outside the palace. He only occasionally enters the palace to visit Helen.

"Your mother is feeling mixed emotions now. Of course she is happy to return to Venice, but she is also worried that if you stay in Venice, it will be difficult for you and your son to see each other in the future."

Zhu Zhanhe also sighed at this time.

When Zhu Qikai goes to Venice this time, he will definitely stay there to fight for the position of governor. Moreover, when he becomes governor in the future, it may be more difficult to escape. Therefore, if Zhu Zhanhe and Helen want to meet Zhu Qikai, it will probably be very difficult. After all, Zhu Zhan He can’t often go to the Mediterranean.

"A good man has his ambitions in all directions. This is what my mother taught me personally. But now that I have grown up and have my own career, my mother can't let it go!"

Zhu Qikai complained a little at this time.

Ever since she learned that Zhu Qikai was going to Venice, Helen was extremely reluctant to leave her. She even summoned Zhu Qikai to the palace many times to warn him. However, Zhu Qikai had grown up and really couldn't listen to his mother's nagging, so now he is afraid of entering the palace. .

"My mother is worried after traveling thousands of miles. It's normal for your mother to be worried about you. Don't talk about you. Even every time I go out, your imperial grandmother will call me over and give me a warning."

Zhu Zhanhe explained with a smile.

"Well, I understand my mother's hard work, but I just don't want to listen to her nagging. When I get to Venice in the future, I will definitely write to her more so that she doesn't have to worry!"

Zhu Qikai was still very filial and took the initiative to assure him.

"Very good. After you go to Venice, you will stay with your grandfather and participate in some Venetian government affairs. In addition, I will send people to assist you, both the long history on the surface and the royal guards secretly. They will all be at your disposal. , will also help you make some plans..."

As Zhu Zhanhe said, he briefly told Zhu Qikai about the personnel and plans he had arranged. Zhu Qikai could have listened to these on the road, but now he was asked to understand them in advance so that he could be mentally prepared. Zhu Qikai listened very carefully. When he just came of age, Zhu Zhanhe told him that he would arrange for him to return to Venice to seize the position of governor. He also agreed with this. On the one hand, he knew that even if he stayed in the Han Dynasty, he would not be able to do anything. I can only find a place to be the governor. Instead of going to a strange place, it is better to go to my mother's hometown.

On the other hand, the Governor of Venice is Zhu Qikai's maternal grandfather. Although the Governor of Venice is not hereditary, Zhu Qikai, as a Han Chinese, has always believed that it is natural for him to inherit the position of Governor from his grandfather. As for the parliamentary elections, he has not given up at all. In the heart.

"The Mediterranean is the most important area under our rule, almost as important as the mainland. In addition, our fleet must also enter the Atlantic through the Mediterranean and continue to explore the American continent westward. Venice is an important part of our rule in the Mediterranean, Qi Kai The burden on you is also very heavy!"

Zhu Zhanhe finally warned again.

"Don't worry, father, I won't let you down!"

Zhu Qikai clasped his hands in his fists and promised with a serious face.

Seeing that his son was so sensible, Zhu Zhanhe was very pleased and immediately encouraged him a few words before letting Zhu Qikai retreat.

But just as Zhu Qikai left, he saw a tall young man walking into the palace, solemnly saluted Zhu Zhanhe and said: "Greetings to father!"

This tall young man is five points similar in appearance to Zhu Zhanhe. He is Zhu Qiming, the son of Zhu Zhanhe and Chang Sining. He is also the eldest son of Zhu Zhanhe and the grandson of the emperor who was personally canonized by Zhu Gaoxu.

"Qi Ming, why are you here? Is it because of Qi Kai?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked with a smile, "I know my son better than my father. Just as Zhu Qikai left, Zhu Qiming came. This is definitely not a coincidence."

Sure enough, Zhu Qiming nodded directly and said: "Exactly, the third brother is going to Venice. He doesn't know when he will come back after leaving. The second brother and I are also very reluctant to leave!"

"Hasn't the second child always disliked the third child? Why are you reluctant to let him go now?"

Zhu Zhanhe smiled playfully.

His second son was named Zhu Qinuo, born to him and Sun Ruowei. This boy had bullied Zhu Qikai since he was a child. The two had fights frequently. Zhu Zhanhe also had a headache because of this, so he could only let them meet as little as possible.

"The second brother and the third brother just liked to fight when they were young. There is no real conflict. In fact, the relationship between the two of them is very deep. The second brother even proposed this time that he wanted to send the third brother to Venice himself!"

Zhu Qiming explained for his two younger brothers.

"The second child also wants to go to the Mediterranean. Why doesn't he come to me and tell me?"

Zhu Zhanhe also asked in surprise when he heard this.

"The second brother is afraid that your father will disapprove, so he wants me to test your words. Moreover, the second brother does not want to go to the Mediterranean, but wants to go west via the Mediterranean, that is, to join the fleet exploring the Americas."

Zhu Qiming explained with a smile again.

"He wants to follow your second uncle's example and go to America?"

Zhu Zhanhe was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it turned out that Zhu Qinuo's goal was America, and he seemed to be an ambitious guy. It's a shame that Zhu Zhanhe, as a father, didn't realize it before.

"Exactly, the second brother has always admired the emperor's grandfather and his second uncle. He believes that a man should build a foundation by his own ability. He heard that the imperial court wanted to explore America, so he wanted to join the fleet himself."

Zhu Qiming did not laugh again this time, but said very seriously.
