When the Ming Dynasty was established, the Zhu family's emperor forbade brothers from having internal strife.
In addition, there was Zhu Biao, a well-deserved Crown Prince who could make everyone forget about him.
Zhu Yuanzhang's son could be considered a respectful brother.
This was especially true for the older brothers.
But the reason was also because the eldest and fifth crown princes were all from Empress Ma.
However, Zhu Xi was special. She was sent to Noble Consort Sun to fulfill her filial piety.
It could be said that Zhu Xi was able to get along well with Noble Consort Sun and Empress Ma.
Of course, be it his biological mother or adoptive mother, they were both very troubled by him.
The second brother, Zhu Xi, three Zhu Xi,
Zhu Xiong had once secretly evaluated his third and fourth brothers, thinking that compared to the King of Yan, the King of Jin was tyrannical and not as good.
However, Zhu He knew very well that the Zhu He in front of him was the king of princes.
When Zhu Rong was in the Ying Tian Prefecture, he was at most called a good-for-nothing.
However, after becoming a vassal, it could be said that he was even more unbearable than others.，
After Zhu Biao died of illness, according to logic, the person with the highest chance of becoming the Crown Prince was him.
However, all the officials said that the King of Jin was to be the Crown Prince.
As the second prince, the officials did not even care about him. One could imagine how bad his prestige was.
It was probably similar to Zhu Rong's current situation.
Zhu Rong came up with the decision to become a good-for-nothing, and in the end, he became the devil king of the Zhu family in the Ying Tian Prefecture. His prototype was his future second brother.
Of course, under the Emperor's care, Zhu Rong had yet to show his cheating side.
His only reputation was that he was afraid of his wife.
The wife of his second brother was funny to say. She was the sister of the Northern Yuan King Kuokuo Timur, the main enemy of Xu Da's Northern Expedition, the Wang family.
To be able to fight with her brother while her sister became the princess consort and not be implicated at all, probably only happened in the Great Ming Dynasty.
Not only did Emperor Zhu not suspect that the Wang family was King Qi Wang Baobao's sister, but he also said,
She had even asked Empress Ma to recruit her into the palace to appease her many times.
This reflected Zhu Yuanzhang's character. He felt sorry for his family.
"Brothers, tell me, why did Imperial Father arrange for us to come here?”
After Zhu Xiong exchanged greetings with his brothers, he asked again,
Zhu Rong couldn't come back, but he smiled and said,"
"Isn't it all related to you, the devil king?”
"Why don't I have your luck? I can casually pick up a few divine items when I go out?”
"Yesterday, Imperial Father offended almost all the officials because he wanted to carry the sedan chair for you!”
"If Hu Weiyong hadn't come out to smooth things over, we would still be fighting today!”
"Today, Father hopes that we princes will promote the sweet potato and tomato. To put it simply, he wants us to put our names on it. In the future, we can also add our names to the history books!”
The ancients, especially the royal children and scholars, were very concerned about whether they could leave a good reputation in history.
This was very in line with Old Zhu's personality. If there were benefits, he would not forget to bring his own family.
Zhu Rong, who hadn't been conferred the title of Saint Farmer, naturally received the greatest benefits.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao brought his younger brother with him so that he could accumulate prestige for the future emperor.
As for Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi, they were purely there to get benefits.
If Zhu Di hadn't been thrown into the military camp by Old Zhu,
They would also appear in the entourage.
The two brothers did not know how to promote it.
However, Zhu Rong himself was very resistant. Nonsense, his goal in this life was to be a second generation and a good-for-nothing.
The promotion of sweet potatoes was obviously a job that could accumulate good reputation.
What was the use of this good name?
Just as Zhu Rong was chatting with his 2nd and 3rd brothers outside the main hall,
The Ming Dynasty's power center, the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
Under Emperor Zhu's throne, the officials were already discussing another matter.
A new power struggle began.
The instigator of this war was none other than the Duke of Korea, Lee Shan Chang.
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial!"
"Correct!"
"Xu Da, Duke of Wei, is leading the northern expedition. The position of the Right Prime Minister of the Ministry of Central Affairs is vacant!”：
"Of course, the Ministry of Central Affairs is the center of our Ming Dynasty's government affairs and helps Your Majesty solve problems. Now that the Right Prime Minister is missing, I am in charge of the Ministry of Central Affairs alone.”
"I implore Your Majesty to establish the position of Right Prime Minister for my Great Ming as soon as possible!”：
"What should come will come!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered in his heart. He asked expressionlessly,"
"Dear ministers, is there anyone who wants to be chosen?"
"Your Majesty, this subject has a memorial. This subject would like to recommend Hu Weiyong, the governor of the Ministry of Central Affairs. Duke Hu is familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Central Affairs and is Minister Li's right-hand man.”
"Your Majesty, I recommend Censor Zhongcheng Liu Ji. Mr. Liu is the Right Prime Minister of the Ministry of Central Affairs. Mr. Liu is one of the ministers personally acknowledged by Your Majesty. He is highly respected and talented. Now that Xu Da is on the northern expedition, it is only natural for Mr. Liu Ji to inherit the position of Right Prime Minister!”
Huaixi Group and Zhedong Group had indeed started to fight for the position.
A white-hot battle broke out, and the imperial court instantly became a mess.
Emperor Zhu sat firmly on the high platform, happy to see this happen.
However, as the parties involved in this matter, Hu Weiyong and Liu Ji lowered their heads as if they had fallen asleep in the imperial court.
As for whether to choose Hu Weiyong or Liu Ji, the people from the two large groups argued.
Basically, Liu Ji gradually gained the upper hand.
It wasn't that Huaixi Group couldn't do it, but Liu Ji's prestige was much better than Hu Weiyong's.
He was one of the three ministers and was compared to Zhang Liang by Zhu Yuanzhang. Liu Ji's prestige in the Ming Dynasty was almost comparable to Li Shanchang.
Otherwise, how could he lead Zhedong Group and fight with Huaixi with his status as a sincere uncle?
Hu Weiyong looked at the situation in the court.
His face was deathly pale. His path to enter the phase seemed to have ended prematurely?
"Alright, let this one think about this matter and discuss it again!”
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger, Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to suppress it.
Seeing that he had no thoughts, the ministers could only bow and stop the debate for the time being.
"Since you have finished your questions, let's talk about our own matters!”
"The matter of sweet potatoes is of great importance. I have decided to send the Crown Prince, Wu Wang, Zhu Xi, and the other princes to promote the art of planting near the Ying Tian Prefecture and my hometown, Fengyang!”
"When the conditions are ripe, we will spread these results to the world!”
When the officials heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
It seemed that Emperor Zhu had not given up on the idea of supporting the King of Wu.
"Summon all the princes!"
The stage that belonged to the princes finally began.
