"What?"
Chang Mao was stunned by Zhu Yuanzhang's question.
When did he look down on his grandson?
With doubts in his heart, Chang Mao raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a face full of doubt. He asked,"Your Majesty, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."
"Humph!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and waved his hand."Alright, stop kneeling on the ground. Get up first.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chang Mao nodded and stood up obediently.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chang Mao and asked," Chang Mao, there are no outsiders here. Tell us the truth. Have you paid any attention to Pin 'er all these years?"”
"Ah?"
Chang Mao was stunned.
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, he really didn't know what to say.
As the saying goes, accompanying a ruler is like accompanying a tiger.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang looked very friendly and kind now, he would not show any mercy once he used a knife.
"Don't be nervous. I want to hear the truth.”
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the worry in Chang Mao's heart and patted his shoulder.
At this point, Chang Mao knew that he had no choice but to say it. After thinking for a while, he carefully said,"Your Majesty, I won't hide it from you. These few years, I've been paying close attention to the life of my great-grandson.”
"Do you also want Pin 'er to become the crown prince?”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked lightly.
Chang Mao's answer was exactly what he thought.
"Plop!"
Chang Mao kneeled on the ground, his face pale and his forehead covered in cold sweat.""Your Majesty is wise. This subject does not have such thoughts. My little sister has already left. This subject only wants to let my great-grandson grow up healthily and happily.”
Who didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang intended to make Zhu Yunwen the Crown Prince?
How could Chang Mao dare to spout nonsense? If he did not do it well, his head would fall to the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said with a straight face,"Stand up, don't be too nervous. We're just casually chatting with you. According to the status, Pin 'er also has the possibility of inheriting the position of Crown Prince, don't you think so?”
When Chang Mao heard this, he became even more afraid. How could he dare to get up?"Your Majesty, Pin 'er is weak and cannot take on the great responsibility of the Crown Prince. Please reconsider, Your Majesty.”
"Pin 'er is a coward?"
The corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched.
If someone had said this to him before today, he would definitely believe it. But now…
"Stand up first!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry when he saw that Chang Mao was not on the right track.
He wanted Chang Mao to increase the power behind Zhu Yunhao. Now Chang Mao kept pushing away. Wouldn't this make his plan fail?
Chang Mao's face was filled with fear as he stood up shakily.""Your Majesty, Pin 'er is really weak."
He could not figure out what he had said wrong.
"Shut up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help but shout when he heard Chang Mao say that Zhu Yunhao was a coward.
There was no other way. He really could not hold it in any longer.
Moreover, no matter how he listened to these words, he felt that they were particularly ear-piercing.
He used to think so too, but the recent events had clearly told Zhu Yuanzhang that Zhu Yunhao's character was not weak at all, and he was also very strong and unyielding.
"What? Your Majesty…"
Chang Mao was stunned. He stared blankly at the furious Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Bang!"
Zhu Yuanzhang went up and kicked Chang Mao, scolding,""Get lost, you better understand Pin 'er.”
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will take my leave."
Although Chang Mao did not know why Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly so angry, he knew that he could not stay any longer, so he quickly got up and left.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chang Mao's back as he left, but his anger was still not appeased. He said angrily,"This Chang Mao, is his head made of wood? It really angered me to death…"
......
Duke Zheng's Mansion!
After Chang Mao left the Imperial Palace, he returned to his Public House with doubts and puzzlement in his heart.
"Big brother, what did the old master say?"
"Big brother, have you told His Majesty about this?”
When Chang Sheng and Chang Sen saw Chang Mao return, they quickly went up to him.
Chang Mao sighed and waved his hand. Sit down and talk."
"What's going on?"
Chang Sheng and Chang Sen looked at each other, feeling uneasy.
Chang Mao found a place to sit down and looked at Chang Sheng and Chang Mao with a bitter expression. He said,""When I met the old master, I told him everything. We had a good chat in the beginning. Suddenly, the old master became angry. Not only did he scold me fiercely, but he also told me to get to know Pin 'er better…"
Until now, he still couldn't figure out what the problem was. Why was Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly angry?
Chang Sheng and Chang Sen looked at each other and said,""Big brother, tell us about your conversation with the old master. We will help you analyze it and see what the problem is.”
"Alright."
Chang Mao nodded and lowered his head to recall what had happened. He recounted everything that had happened without missing a single word.
The position of Crown Prince!
As the saying goes, the onlooker sees more clearly than the person involved.
After Chang Sheng and Chang Sen heard Chang Mao's explanation, they were instantly shocked. They realized that the key to the problem lay in the position of Crown Prince.
"What does Your Majesty mean? A test on our Chang family? Or did he intend to make Pin 'er the crown prince?”
Chang Sheng frowned.
Chang Mao shook his head and smiled bitterly." It's impossible to let Pin 'er be the Crown Prince. Everyone in the court knows that the Old Master wants Zhu Yunwen to be the Crown Prince."”
Chang Sheng nodded, his face full of self-mockery." That's true. It seems that I'm thinking too much. His Majesty must be taking the opportunity to give us a warning. He wants us not to have any thoughts that we shouldn't have because of Pin 'er's nonsense."”
"That should be the case."
Chang Mao nodded, feeling that he understood Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.
"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, I don't think you're right." Chang Sen hesitated for a moment and said,"If what you said was true, why would the old man be angry?" This doesn't make sense."
