Inside the Hall of Cultural Splendor.
Singing and dancing, sleeves fluttering. The bell struck the chime, and the music was melodious.
Zhu Di sat high on the stage.
The courtiers were toasting each other, and the overseas envoys were amazed.
By chance, Zhu Di raised his glass.
Seeing this, everyone stood up and raised their glasses, shouting "Long live!"
Such a situation made Zhu Di extremely happy.
Ever since he returned from conquering Mobei, he had been beaten up by his three sons every day. Only now and at Zhu Le's residence could he calm down and enjoy it.
"Your Majesty the Great Ming Emperor."
After the singing and dancing.
A bearded middle-aged man dressed in strange clothes left the table and walked to the center.
He knelt on one knee and said loudly,"The Great Ming Empire is mighty. The Manlaka Kingdom requests the emperor to confer it!"”
"Correct!"
Zhu Di was in a good mood. He approved,"I hereby confer the title of the current chief of Mancika and the title of King of Mancika!" Granted imperial edict seals, colored coins, clothes and other items!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Mancika is willing to pay tribute year after year!”The middle-aged man immediately knelt on the ground.
"Haha!"
Zhu Di laughed loudly and raised his cup to drink with the courtiers.
Isn't this the best time to be an emperor?
After three rounds of drinking, Jian Yi, assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, wanted to add flowers to the brocade.
He stepped out and knelt down. With a drunken expression, he said,"Your Majesty is wise. I think that this is a good opportunity, just too grandson age, should be selected to marry, as soon as possible canonized!”
The moment he said this, the cabinet scholars and the six assistant ministers all agreed.
Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi lowered his head and drank his tea without saying a word, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
The King of Han's face darkened. He looked at Jian Yi with a gaze that seemed to be ready to devour him.
King Zhao's expression was uncertain.
On the other hand, Zhu Zhanji was involved.
Hearing Jian Yi's words, his heart beat faster and he looked delighted.
Marriage was a small matter, but conferment was a big one!
Although he had the title of 'Grand Sun', he was not the real' Grand Sun'!
Jian Yi's words had won his heart.
Seeing that the officials were united, Zhu Di's smile faded and his eyes narrowed.
"What does the Crown Prince think?" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi and asked.
Sigh!
I'm wrong!
Zhu Gaochi wanted to curse.
It was a joyous occasion for him to be conferred the title of Crown Prince by his grandson, which would help him secure his position as Crown Prince.
However, Jian Yi's mistake was that he had brought it up in public and obtained the support of all the officials!
The emperor was suspicious.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Gaochi was sure that Zhu Di was thinking.
There seemed to be a lot of people supporting the Crown Prince.
"Your son thinks that this matter is not urgent." Zhu Gaochi stood up and said.
"Oh? Why not?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows.
"Zhanji is young and impetuous. He needs more training. Moreover, the national treasury is empty, and the wedding is a big expense.”Zhu Gaochi said the script that he had prepared beforehand.
After hearing this, Zhu Di's expression improved, and then he looked at Zhu Zhanji.
"Grandson will listen to the emperor." Zhu Zhanji stood up and reported.
Even though he said that, anyone with a discerning eye could see the disappointment in his eyes.
Zhu Di shook his head.
Compared to Zhu Le, Zhu Zhanji was indeed a little inexperienced.
In fact, if Zhu Le had not appeared, even if Jian Yi's suggestion was wrong, Zhu Di would have agreed in the end.
After all, everyone knew how much he liked Zhu Zhanji.
But now? It was impossible.
When he found out that his real eldest grandson was still alive and so outstanding, Zhu Di had already made up his mind.
The position of Grand Sun would definitely belong to Zhu Le!
Putting down the wine cup in his hand, Zhu Di snorted coldly and announced,"Jian Yi's drunken ramblings will be punished by half a year's salary! He was demoted to Assistant Minister of Rites and temporarily held the position of Minister of Rites!”
"Ah?"
Jian Yi woke up instantly.
After hearing this, the officials who had been continuously agreeing with him immediately broke out in cold sweat.
The might of the heavens was truly unfathomable!
Zhu Zhanji's face instantly turned pale, and he felt as if the sky had collapsed.
Even Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi trembled.
Jian Yi being demoted seemed simple, but the impact was huge!
Zhu Di wanted to use this opportunity to tell everyone…
He wasn't prepared to make Zhu Zhanji his great-grandson!
This made people daydream.
Did Zhu Di not want to appoint a grand grandson, or did he want to directly change the crown prince?
Han King Zhu Gaoxu and Zhao King Zhu Gaosui exchanged glances, both of them feeling that it was definitely the latter!
After all, who didn't know? Zhu Zhanji was also one of the reasons why Zhu Di made Zhu Gaochi the Crown Prince!
A good grandson can prosper the three generations of the Ming Dynasty!
If the timing was not right, Zhu Gaoxu even wanted to clap his hands and celebrate! After fighting with Boss for so many years, he finally saw a glimmer of hope!
"I can't drink. Crown Prince, drink with everyone on my behalf.”Zhu Di's voice sounded again.
？？？
For a moment, the entire venue was filled with question marks.
What did he mean?
I don't understand!
Didn't Zhu Di's actions confirm the Crown Prince's status?
"Old Master, what do you mean?"
Zhu Gaoxu asked his third brother as if he had been splashed with cold water.
"How would I know?" Zhu Gaosui rolled his eyes." The old man has been thinking more and more recently. Maybe Zhu Zhanji didn't do a good job and the old man is trying to beat him up!”
Zhu Gaoxu felt that it made sense.
Disinterested, he poured himself a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp."So it's all for naught."
"Not really." Zhu Gaosui consoled him," Zhu Zhanji has lost his power. His reputation as a good grandson will naturally disappear. Second Brother, you have to work harder!" Perhaps the old master could change the crown prince!”
"That makes sense!" Zhu Gaoxu nodded solemnly.
The banquet began again.
Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi stood up and personally drank with the other countries.
Zhu Di leaned his head against the pillow, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He didn't want Zhu Gaochi to steal the limelight.
Zhu Gaoxu also raised his cup and said,"I will also drink with everyone!"
Zhu Di only meowed at this and was too lazy to pay attention to it.
Suddenly, an accident occurred.
A person wearing the uniform of the Brocade Guard appeared.
The person lowered his head and walked to the center.
He quickly raised his right hand and pointed the arrow at Zhu Di on the high platform!
"Whoosh!"
In the next moment, the arrow pierced through the air.
The speed was so fast that it caught people off guard!
