After Zhu Gaoye finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang restrained his expression and asked,
"Then how did you know that Prince Yan Zhu Di would rebel?”
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhu Gaoye did not hide anything, nor did he deliberately mystify it. Instead, he said bluntly,
"This is about my cheap cousin Zhu Yunwen!”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked,
"What happened to Zhu Yunwen? Wasn't it pretty good? He's well-read and polite…"
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhu Gaoye.
"Stop, stop, stop. If your words were used on the deceased Crown Prince, it would naturally not be wrong.”
"But if you use it on Zhu Yunwen, I'm going to doubt your relationship with Zhu Yunwen.”
Hearing Zhu Gaoye's words, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but feel nervous. He thought that Zhu Gaoye had figured out his identity so quickly.
However, Zhu Gaoye's next words made Zhu Yuanzhang heave a sigh of relief.
Zhu Gaoye said,
"Our emperor may seem ruthless, but he only targets corrupt officials. To the people, he is like a true parent.”
At this point, even Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but feel a trace of joy in his heart. No one would dislike being praised by others, especially when this person was his grandson.
However, what Zhu Gaoye said next shocked Zhu Yuanzhang.
"If Your Majesty can continue to be in power, it won't be a big deal.”
"But even if His Majesty the Emperor is called long live, how can there really be a person who can live to ten thousand years old in this world?”
"Let alone ten thousand years old, how many people can live to a hundred years old?”
"Originally, when His Highness the Crown Prince was alive, this matter was not a big deal.”
"Our Crown Prince is also a rare hero. With him around, the Ming Dynasty will naturally be safe.”
At this point, Zhu Gaoye spread his hands and said to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di,
"It's a pity that His Highness the Crown Prince has passed away.”
Hearing Zhu Gaoye's words, a trace of sadness flashed across Zhu Di's face. His elder brother treated him like a father.
Especially during the years when Zhu Yuanzhang went out to fight, his brothers were all managed by Zhu Biao.
Not only him, but almost all the vassal kings of Ming Dynasty had been loved by the Crown Prince. This was also why after hearing the news of the death of the Crown Prince Zhu Biaojia.
The reason why everyone had gathered in Jinling at the first possible moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was even more gloomy.
Zhu Gaoye was right.
He had high hopes for Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao did not disappoint him. Everything he did revealed a model of benevolence. He could be said to be an extremely perfect successor.
It was a pity that he had to die in his old age. It was too much of a blow to him.
"So, the question now is, after my Imperial Grandfather passes away, who will be in charge of this world?”
"Is it in the hands of one of the vassal kings of Great Ming or one of Crown Prince Zhu Biao's sons?”
Before Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di could do anything, Zhu Gaoye said,"
"With His Majesty's personality, he definitely wouldn't hand it over to a vassal king.”
"This can be seen from the time when His Majesty conferred the title of vassal king.”
"The reason why His Majesty used this enfeoffment system that had long been abandoned.”
"I learned the lesson of the previous ruler being weak and the minister being strong. Once there is a change in the capital, the vassal king can directly lead his troops into the capital to help the king.”
"With this threat, those ministers naturally wouldn't dare to bully Jun Father.”
Hearing Zhu Gaoye's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was amazed. He didn't expect his grandson to see through his thoughts. Even his sister, Zhu Yuanzhang, didn't say these things.
How did this child know?
However, Zhu Gaoye obviously did not intend to give Zhu Yuanzhang time to react. Instead, he continued,
"In this way, the successor will definitely not be chosen from these vassal kings.”
"Otherwise, we won't be bringing troops to the capital to help the king, but to fight for the throne.”
"Why can you be the emperor and I can't be the emperor? And the Ming Dynasty is very likely to fall apart because of this.”
"Therefore, the person who inherits the throne can only be the son of the Crown Prince.”
"Currently, among the sons of the Crown Prince, the most suitable one is my cousin, Zhu Yunwen.”
At this point, Zhu Gaoye felt his mouth go dry. He quickly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.
Zhu Di took the opportunity to say,"I think Zhu Yunwen is very good. He is a good successor."”
These words were obviously meant for Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care. At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang only wanted to know what Zhu Gaoye's evaluation of Zhu Yunwen was.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Di's words, a trace of disdain flashed across Zhu Gaoye's face.
"Brother Yan, you're wrong!"
"This cousin of mine is definitely not a kind person.”
"This person is narrow-minded and doesn't look like a ruler at all. Most people can't tell now.”
"It's entirely because no one can pose any threat to his position now, so Zhu Yunwen is happy to be a good person.”
"In any case, the throne is destined to be mine. The rest is not a big deal.”
"If there is a person who can threaten Zhu Yunwen's position, you can try?”
"Let's see what this gentle imperial grandson will do.”
"Besides, my cousin has been brainwashed by those pedantic scholars since he was young. His mind is filled with the idea of the Son of Heaven ruling by bowing down to him.”
"How can such a person manage the Great Ming Empire?”
"And these rotten scholars, for the sake of the so-called unification of the world, had long instilled the idea of cutting the vassal into Zhu Yunwen.”
"After being brainwashed for a long time, the first thing Zhu Yunwen did after she ascended the throne was…”
"It must be a large-scale reduction of vassals!”
"And the methods will be very bloody, because Zhu Yunwen knows that these vassal kings now have military power.”
"If it isn't bloody, there's no way to carry out the cutting of the vassals.”
"As for my father and the other vassal kings, there are only two paths to take.”
Zhu Gaoye stretched out two fingers and said,"
"First, obediently stick your neck out and be killed by Zhu Yunwen.”
"The second is to use the military power in their hands to raise an army to rebel.”
At this point, Zhu Gaoye's two fingers curled back.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were completely stunned by Zhu Gaoye's words!
