Zhu Biao frowned.
Then, he waved his hand nonchalantly and said,
"He's just a child. He's not his biological child.
If Imperial Father likes it, then let it be. It's not a big deal.
After mother passed away, I was worried that father would be too lonely and hurt his body.
It's not bad to have such a child in front of me to tease and relieve my boredom…"
Lady Lu smiled and nodded, but she was a little jealous.
His son Zhu Yunwen was Old Zhu's grandson.
How many times had he seen Old Zhu?
Not to mention such love.
It was simply baffling!
Of course, these complaints towards Old Zhu.
She did not dare to say it out loud and could only mutter to herself.
Zhu Yunwen, on the other hand, showed jealousy on her face.
He had never met Zhu Zheng before.
However, just hearing about it was already enough to make him extremely dissatisfied and disgusted.
Even he wasn't qualified to stay in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility and play around in the Imperial Palace.
Not to mention accompanying Zhu Yuanzhang every day.
A bastard child that was picked up, what did he do to deserve such special treatment from Imperial Grandfather!!
Imperial Grandfather must be old and muddle-headed. He must have been deceived.
If he had the chance, he would definitely remonstrate with his Imperial Grandfather.
You can't lose your will and mess up the moral code!!
He believed that at that time, Imperial Grandfather would definitely praise him.
Who knows, he might even be rewarded with something.
Zhu Biao didn't notice Zhu Yunwen's expression.
He carefully finished the porridge in his bowl to make sure that no food was wasted.
Then, he stood up and said,"
"Alright, I am going to look for father to discuss some matters. All of you should return…"
"Yes…"
Madam Lu nodded and gently smoothed the creases on Zhu Biao's collar. She smiled and said,
"Your Highness, you must have a good talk with Imperial Father. Don't make Imperial Father angry again…"
Recently, Zhu Yuanzhang had been very unwelcoming of Zhu Biao and had even issued an edict to scold him for the first time.
Usually, when they meet, they are also picky
Lady Lu knew all of this, which was why she said this.
Zhu Biao was also extremely depressed.
He couldn't figure out what was going on with Old Zhu.
It was as if he had committed a huge mistake.
Yet, he did not say it clearly. It was really baffling.
Zhu Biao nodded helplessly.
Who asked him to have such a father?
Zhu Biao and Lady Lu greeted each other and strode towards the Jinshen Palace.
......
Hall of Honesty.
Zhu Biao walked in unimpeded.
He never needed to inform Old Zhu that he was here.
As soon as he entered the hall.
Zhu Biao saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the couch with a sleeping child in his arms.
He gently patted her back with a loving expression.
He was like a kind grandfather coaxing his grandson to sleep.
There was no longer the viciousness of Emperor Hongwu. It was simply out of place.
If all the officials in the court saw this…
They would probably be so shocked that their jaws would drop.
Even Zhu Biao's eyes widened when he saw this scene. He was stunned on the spot.
He had originally thought that his father only had some affinity for this child that he had picked up.
He placed it beside him and teased it to relax when he was in the mood.
To put it bluntly, she was just a plaything at best.
However, from the looks of it now, it didn't seem to be the case at all!!
Zhu Yuanzhang also saw Zhu Biao walking in.
The kind look on his face instantly disappeared. He snorted coldly and ignored him.
He heard some movement.
Zhu Biao came back to his senses and hurriedly bowed.
"Your son greets Imperial Father…"
Before he could finish his sentence.
Old Zhu hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt him. He reprimanded in a low voice with extreme dissatisfaction,
"Why are you shouting so loudly?
Can't you make a little noise? We just coaxed her to sleep and you woke her up…"
Zhu Biao felt numb when he heard that. He stared blankly at the angry Old Zhu.
What was going on?
It was just that he had not seen Old Zhu for a period of time. Had he changed so much?
He almost couldn't recognize her.
Did he meet a fake Imperial Father? Was all of this a dream?？
Zhu Biao opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
However, something even more shocking happened.
Old Zhu seemed to want to put the child in his arms on the couch.
However, just as he moved, the child could not help but frown.
Seeing this, Old Zhu hurriedly stopped his actions and gave up helplessly.
Then, Old Zhu looked at the shocked Zhu Biao and asked impatiently in a low voice,
"Tell me, why are you looking for us?？”
He watched Old Zhu's careful actions of holding it in his mouth and holding it in his hands, afraid that it would melt.
Zhu Biao was completely dumbfounded. His eyes were lifeless and completely lifeless.
He had never seen Old Zhu like this in his life.
Even he had never received such love and pampering, let alone others.
At this moment, Zhu Biao couldn't help but feel jealous of a child.
After a long time, he heard Old Zhu's question.
Zhu Biao hurriedly calmed himself down. After a long time, he replied,"
"Reporting to Imperial Father…"
"Hiss, what's wrong with you?
I told you to lower your voice. You don't understand, do you? Do you want me to beat you up?”
Old Zhu's eyes widened as he scolded.
Zhu Biao was extremely depressed. He hurriedly nodded helplessly.
He lowered his voice and continued,
"Imperial Father, your son has come…
I want to talk to you about the recent investigation of Hu Weiyong's remaining party by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the expansion of the scope of the Kongyin Case…"
As Zhu Biao spoke, he became a little emotional. He looked at Old Zhu with a serious face and said,
"Hu Weiyong's case has long been settled. He has been dead for so many years.
How could he continue to pursue and attack?？
Now, four or five out of ten of the civil and military officials were gone, and the government affairs were delayed.
The rest were all in danger and did not have the heart to act.
He was afraid that he would be implicated and lose his head.
If this continues, the court will be unstable and it will affect the foundation of our Zhu family!”
"Also, regarding the Kongyin Case…
The essence of it was just that the system was lacking.
The officials involved acted without permission.
But it wasn't to the point where he had to kill them or even wipe out the three clans!!
Such a large-scale war, violent killing.
Is this the way to long-term stability?
I hope Imperial Father will reconsider!"
Hearing this.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned completely gloomy.
He was about to fly into a rage.
However, she immediately realized Zhu Zheng in her arms and hurriedly suppressed her anger.
Forcing himself to endure, he cursed in a low voice,
" What do you know?"
"With Hu Weiyong's example, they still dare to come up with the Empty Seal Case!!
What does this mean? It means that those officials don't even care about me, the emperor!!
This is because he is dissatisfied with me for deposing the prime minister, so he is testing me.
Thinking of ways to make us compromise! Do you know that?"
At this point.
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice turned cold, revealing a terrifying aura.
"But they're wrong. I'm not interested in playing any probing tricks with them.
What kind of game was this? You punch me, I'll slap you back!!
I will tell them, and I will tell the world clearly, and tell the future generations.
Who dares to stretch out their claws and try to test my intentions?
They wanted to slowly make him, the emperor, subject to their messy logic.
I want to chop off his head, chop off the heads of his entire family!
He wanted to tell them what was called the might of the heavens and what was called the majesty of an emperor!!”
Who was Zhu Yuanzhang?
From the lowest level of society, he cut through all the obstacles and thorns to create the Ming Empire.
It could be said that he had walked out of scheming and scheming his entire life.
This also nurtured his extraordinary alertness and sensitivity.
He was like a hunter in the forest who never closed his eyes.
He knew that there were countless wild beasts watching him from the shadows.
Especially those officials.
The tragic experience of the past made Zhu Yuanzhang hate and wary of these people from the bottom of his heart.
He knew that if he compromised.
These people saw the signs.
Then, they would step on their noses and ask for more.
Therefore, he had to use cruel methods to make everyone fear him!!
He did not dare to have any ulterior motives.
To serve the people of Ming Dynasty honestly!!
To serve the Zhu family!
......
P.S.: The data is so bleak. It feels like it's a standalone game. Is anyone watching?？
If you're looking, can you let me know? Or maybe he could say something in the comments section!! Sob, sob, sob…
