Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Zhu Chong bowed without hesitation and said:

"Your son is willing to go!"

"Oh! Tell me why?"

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Chong stood up, looked at him with his head held high and chest puffed out, and said:

"As a prince of the Ming Dynasty, I should expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty and do my best to build the Ming Dynasty. Besides, the Japanese pirates deserve to die!"

"In the second year of the Hongwu reign, the Japanese pirates disregarded the divine authority and killed our Ming envoys. This was tantamount to declaring war on our Ming. This alone is a crime worthy of death!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and thought to himself: That's right, this alone is enough to get the Japanese pirates killed.

"I have no doubts about your ability to lead troops, but this Eastern Expedition is different from previous ones. We need to cross the vast ocean..."

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could finish his words, Zhu Chong spoke directly:

"Father, I have made up my mind!"

Zhu Chong's decisive answer made Zhu Yuanzhang fall silent again, and it took a long time before he raised his head.

When he spoke to Zhu Chong again, he not only did not blame him for interrupting him, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Good! Very good! This is our seed! In that case, you will bring up this matter at court tomorrow morning!"

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Chong realized that his father was going to bring up this matter tomorrow.

When Wei Wu mentioned this matter to him before, Zhu Chong actually accompanied someone to inquire about this matter.

However, there was no gain, after all, at that time there was nothing to do about the campaign against the Japanese pirates.

It was just a verbal agreement between Wei Wu and Zhu Yuanzhang, and there was not even a written record.

There were less than a handful of people in the entire Ming Dynasty who knew about this matter, so it would be a miracle if Zhu Chong could get the news.

But things are different now. Zhu Chong has indeed heard some news recently.

For example, the navy is intensifying its training in full swing, while the Ministry of Industry's ironworks is also smelting large quantities of steel and ironware.

Anyone with a bit of common sense could see that there must be something wrong, not to mention that Zhu Chong was not only cruel but also stupid.

Combined with what my father said now, there is only one possibility, that my father is ready to confront all the officials.

Otherwise, with his father's ability, this news would definitely be kept secret and would never be leaked.

But none of this matters now. The most important thing is that he understands that he will have to perform a duet with his father tomorrow.

No matter in which dynasty, declaring war on a country is no trivial matter and cannot be decided with a single word.

If this matter is brought up tomorrow, I'm afraid a minister will immediately jump out to stop it.

They would bring out sayings like, "A country, no matter how big it is, will perish if it is warlike," and some other sayings quoted from classics.

In fact, Zhu Chong was also curious about how his father would deal with those officials, whether by persuading them with reason or by forcing them with force.

But what Zhu Chong didn't know was that Zhu Yuanzhang never took this matter to heart because he was absolutely sure.

Not only would those ministers not obstruct, they would even raise their hands in approval of his decision.

After all, the Japanese pirates offer benefits that no one can refuse.

Although Zhu Chong didn't know the inside story, he knew there would be no problem when he saw his father's confident look.

So he took his leave directly to Zhu Yuanzhang and quietly left the palace.

The stars moved and the moon moved, and the night passed quickly.

At around ten o'clock the next morning, Wei Wu opened his eyes shivering.

Looking at Zhu Yuxuan's red little face, he couldn't help but reach out and stroke her head gently, and then Zhu Yuxuan raised her head.

"Husband, do I have to wake you up like this from now on?"

"Um...occasionally, occasionally is fine, let's get up!"

"Yes, Yuxuan knows."

Zhu Yuxuan responded softly, then stood up and helped Wei Wu get dressed and wash up.

Then Wei Wu came out of the room refreshed, said hello to his wife, and rushed to the Institute of Science and Technology.

Unlike Wei Wu's relaxed attitude, the craftsmen from the Institute of Science and Technology had been waiting for him since early morning.
