After listening to these ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly,"
"Although Crown Prince Zhu Biao has passed away, we still have so many sons who are still alive. Why do we have to appoint a grand grandson?”
"Since ancient times, there has been no reason to directly confer the title of grandson over the son.”
"Tell me, which saint book told you to directly confer the title of grandson over the son?”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Yunwen's face turned even uglier.
He originally thought that coming to the morning court today was just a formality and that Imperial Grandfather would agree to make him the Imperial Great Grandson.
After Imperial Grandfather passed away, he would be able to inherit the throne and become the actual controller of the entire Ming Empire.
But now, Imperial Grandfather actually said that he wanted to make his Imperial Uncle the Crown Prince. Wasn't that stealing his position?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen's eyes flashed with resentment.
After he got through this, when he became the emperor in the future, he would definitely kill all these uncles.
Take all the power in your hands!
Zhu Yunwen's expression didn't change as much as Zhu Yuanzhang's. Zhu Yuanzhang saw everything.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more certain that his grandson was narrow-minded and would not be able to achieve great things!
When the civil officials heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, their eyes flashed with surprise.
After the Crown Prince's death, it was obvious that His Majesty favored Zhu Yunwen as the Emperor's grandson.
In the future, he would hand Da Ming over to Zhu Yunwen.
They also thought that today was just a formality.
He would make Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson.
When he chose an auspicious day to hold the coronation ceremony, this matter would be a foregone conclusion.
I didn't expect that His Majesty would actually say that he would confer a certain prince the title of Crown Prince today.
How could everyone bear this?
These civil servants were different from other civil and military officials.
These civil officials had already been branded with Zhu Yunwen's faction.
In this life, unless Zhu Yunwen became the emperor, the other princes would not put them in an important position after they ascended the throne.
The best outcome would be to write books in the Imperial Academy until they died. They wouldn't even have the chance to be an official!
Such an outcome was naturally not what these people wanted. What these people wanted was to control the government and call the shots.
Therefore, he must not let any prince become the crown prince. He must let the emperor make Zhu Yunwen the imperial grandson.
The civil officials looked at each other and thought that they definitely could not let the Emperor do this.
Otherwise, all his years of hard work would be in vain.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"
A civil official hurriedly stood up and said in a clear voice.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this person and frowned slightly. He began to reflect on whether his temper had been a little too good recently.
Did it cause these officials to think that they could stand above the imperial power?
However, this was also good. Luring these people out at the same time would be good for them to catch them all in one go in the future, so as to save trouble for the younger generation.
However, what Zhu Yuanzhang did not know was that these officials naturally understood that this was the path to death.
However, he had no choice but to do so because only in this way could he ensure that his group's interests were maximized.
Moreover, even if he was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, if he could succeed in this matter.
In the future, when Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne, he will definitely vindicate them.
And their descendants would also be sheltered.
He knew that those who fought for a lifetime did not fight for a moment.
"What do you have to say? Tell us.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
When the official heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he immediately said,"
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has been the right way to establish the elders and not the young.”
"Abandoning the old and establishing the young is the way to bring disaster."
"Your Majesty, you have to investigate."
"In the past, King You of Zhou wanted to abolish the elders and establish the young, causing turmoil in the country.”
"Then, Xirong invaded and King You of Zhou died.”
"From this, it can be seen that it is not advisable to abolish the old and establish the young.”
"Crown Prince Zhu Biao is the eldest son. Only by making His Highness the eldest grandson of the emperor the great-grandson can it be considered legitimate!”
The official said to Zhu Yuanzhang with a righteous and loyal face.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne and watched this person's performance. The coldness in his heart grew.
If he hadn't heard Zhu Gaoye's words, he would have thought that these officials were loyal to the Ming court and the Zhu family.
Everything was done from the perspective of Ming Dynasty's interests. He would even praise these civil officials for their loyalty to the monarch and their love for the country.
However, after listening to Zhu Gaoye's words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that these people's words were even more vicious.
He also felt that these civil officials were more and more detestable.
In order to achieve his goal, he pretended to be righteous.
He did not hesitate to stand here and spout nonsense.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen and saw a smug look on Zhu Yunwen's face.
It was obvious that he was happy that these officials stood up for him.
"Idiot!"
Zhu Yuanzhang cursed in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that this idiot was his own grandson, the son of the late Crown Prince Zhu Biao, he would have died.
She did not even have the interest to look at him.
She didn't know why her wise and powerful son would give birth to such a fool.
He had fallen into the hands of these civil officials without knowing it. He was at the mercy of these civil officials, but he still thought that he was some sage or emperor.
If Zhu Yuanzhang had only had some doubts before but was not completely sure,
Now Zhu Yuanzhang was 100% sure that if he made Zhu Yunwen the emperor's grandson,
Once he died in the future and Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, this fool would definitely cut off his vassal state.
He would even send troops to wipe out his uncles one by one.
After exterminating his own uncles, he would hand over the country to these civil officials.
Killing one's own family and handing over the country to outsiders to govern.
This Zhu Yunwen could really do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang became even angrier and more determined to make Zhu Di the Crown Prince!
"You mean, I'm that muddle-headed King You of Zhou?”
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
"I don't dare. I just think that the past is a teacher for the future. It is only right to follow the Great Dao.”
The minister did not feel afraid when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words. He did not care about the killing intent in Zhu Yuanzhang's words at all.
He stood there with his neck straightened, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with him.
The civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat because of this person.
He was afraid that this person would not be able to bear the consequences today!
