"You two, who can tell me what's going on?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He had been so powerful in his life that he had driven the powerful pseudo-yuan out of the Central Plains. However, he could not see what was going on in front of him now.
Zhu Yunwen glared at Zhu Yunhao and decided to strike first."Imperial Grandfather, I brought a bowl of noodles from the imperial kitchen and wanted to send it to you. However, Zhu Yunhao found trouble halfway, and then the two of us started fighting.”
"Pin 'er, is that so?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze fell on Zhu Yunhao, wanting to hear what he had to say.
As an emperor, he naturally knew that he could not just listen to one person's words. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to obtain the truth he wanted.
"No!"
Zhu Yunwen shook her head and said," Grandpa, I was boxing here before. Zhu Yunwen passed by here. I curiously asked him what he was going to do. He insulted me and then we fought. In the end, he couldn't beat me and cried."”
"Yes!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and looked at Zhu Yunwen."Wen 'er, do you have anything to add?”
Zhu Yunwen opened her mouth and felt wronged."Imperial Grandfather, look at my face, it was Zhu Yunchen who hit me. He was the one who started this conflict. Please uphold justice for me.”
"You can't beat him, so you're complaining? Are you going to surrender if you can't defeat the enemy on the battlefield?”
Zhu Yunhao pursed his lips, his face full of disdain.
Zhu Yunwen was not stupid. He was very clear about Zhu Yuanzhang's personality and preferences. After hearing Zhu Yunyan's words, he immediately retorted,"You're talking nonsense. I won't surrender. I think you should surrender.”
"If that's the case, then don't complain to Imperial Grandfather if you have the ability. I'm standing right here. If you have the ability, come and take revenge yourself.”
Zhu Yunhao shrugged and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunhao arguing and waved his hand irritably."Alright, the two of you should stop for a while. What kind of hero are you to be so hard on your own brothers? If you really have the ability, you should go and fight the pseudo-yuan in the north in the future.”
"Yes, Royal Grandfather's lesson is correct."
Zhu Yunzhen and Zhu Yunwen nodded and stopped arguing.
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,"Alright, let's go. The two of you go back and reflect on yourselves.”
......
In the palace!
Zhu Yuanzhang paced back and forth with a strange expression on his face. The corners of his mouth twitched from time to time.
He didn't know what to say about the scene he had just seen. He felt that it was ridiculous."What happened to Pin 'er recently? Why did his personality suddenly change so much, and why did it have to change at this critical moment when I was about to confer the title of Crown Prince?”
After calming down and thinking about it carefully.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had a thought. Was Zhu Yunhao pretending to be weak?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was highly likely. In addition to what he had learned from Eunuch Wang about what Lady Lu had done, this thought became even stronger.
However, in this case, who should he confer the title of Crown Prince?
After all, there was only one Crown Prince.
After thinking for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally shook his head."Forget it, let's observe for a while more. Our body can still hold on for a while. At that time, we'll see who performs better between Pin 'er and Wen' er.”
Unknowingly, Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts had deviated.
One had to know that he had never considered making Zhu Yunhao the Crown Prince.
"Your Majesty, Duke Zheng Chang Mao requests an audience.”
Eunuch Wang walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang and said respectfully.
"Chang Clan!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart skipped a beat, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand and said,"Let Chang Mao in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Wang nodded and turned to leave.
Due to Zhu Yuanzhang's secret instructions, not only did Zhu Yunwen have the ministers Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and others gathered around him, but he also had the support of the forces behind the Lü family, such as Jiang Xiahou and Zhou Dexing.
On the other hand, although Zhu Yunshi seemed to be close to the generals of Huaixi, he did not have any dealings with them, and the power around him was very weak.
If it had been before, it would have been fine. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang had listed Zhu Yunhao as one of the candidates for the Crown Prince, he had to consider helping Zhu Yunhao cultivate some power.
This was how Zhu Yuanzhang did things. He liked to plan everything for his descendants.
At this time, in order to make Zhu Yunhao's strength not weaker than Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang had the idea of attacking the Chang family. He even had the intention of pulling Lan Yu in.
However, he was very worried about whether Zhu Yunjiu could control the group of proud soldiers and valiant generals in Huaixi. If he could not control them, not only would he not be able to help Zhu Yunjiu, but he would also become a scourge.
.......
A moment later!
Chang Mao came before Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed respectfully."Chang Mao greets Your Majesty."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and laughed." Get up, you brat. It's been a while since you've come to see us."”
"What's going on?"
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden enthusiasm, Chang Mao was stunned and his heart was filled with doubts.
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Chang Mao's shoulder and asked,""Tell me, why did you come to see us today?”
Chang Mao suppressed the doubts in his heart and his expression became more respectful."Your Majesty, I heard that the grandson of Yunchen was causing trouble in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, so I came to ask if it was true.”
"That's right, Pin 'er is asking for the position of Crown Prince in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute. Speaking of which, Chang Mao, you're Pin' er's uncle.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and glanced at Chang Mao.
"Plop!"
Chang Mao was so scared that he knelt on the ground, his face pale.""Your Majesty, you must be aware that Grand Sun has been weak since he was young. There must be someone behind this with ulterior motives who is bewitching His Highness Grand Sun.”
"Pin 'er has a weak personality?"
Zhu Yuanzhang had a strange look in his eyes.
Then, he raised his eyebrows and reprimanded with a straight face,"Impudent Chang Mao, are you looking down on our grandson?”
