The moment these words fell, the ministers were all shocked.
Just now, he had thought that this imperial grandson was very considerate of the imperial court and had directly rejected the Jiangnan land.
But now, he was going to expel Lady Lu from the Eastern Palace?
One had to know that Lady Lu was born into a lowly family. Her status came from the Eastern Palace.
To banish her was equivalent to taking away everything she had. This was simply worse than killing her.
The officials had thought that Zhu Xiong Ying was very kind, but who knew that they would see his vicious side.
When he dealt with those who provoked him, he was decisive and merciless.
Lady Lu's expression changed drastically, and she quickly kowtowed and begged,""Imperial Father, don't! Chenqie knows her mistake, Chenqie knows her mistake.”
Her face was filled with fear. The position of the Crown Prince's concubine was what she was most proud of.
If she lost this identity and was expelled from the Eastern Palace, she would be better off dead than alive.
Her face was full of pleading as she looked at Zhu Xiongying and said,
"Xiong Ying, I was wrong. For the sake of your father and your brother, please spare me this once.”
But whether it was Zhu Xiongying or Zhu Yuanzhang, they didn't care about this woman at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang also pondered for a moment. Madam Lu was only a concubine and did not take Zhu Yuanzhang seriously. However, she had given birth to an heir of the royal family.
That was why Zhu Yuanzhang showed mercy to her and didn't ask Zhu Biao to divorce her.
But now that Zhu Xiongying had spoken…
Compared to his eldest grandson, what was a mere Madam Lu?
Besides, he was only expelling Lady Lu from the Eastern Palace, and it would not damage the royal family's reputation.
Zhu Yuanzhang said without hesitation,"Lu shi has lost her virtue. Even if we can't repair the road, we'll do as you ask!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Madam Lu immediately collapsed to the ground, her face filled with despair.
Although she had not been stripped of her status as the Crown Prince's concubine, her status had dropped drastically after being chased out of the Eastern Palace…
Most importantly, if he left Zhu Biao, his son's chances of becoming the emperor would be even smaller.
Wait…there was still a chance.
As long as Zhu Xiong Ying couldn't leave, he could find an opportunity to return to the Eastern Palace. After all, he had given birth to Zhu Biao's son!
Even if he had to be shameless, he had to go back.
How could roads be so easy to repair?
This kid must be bragging.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang said,"The Ministry of Works will arrange craftsmen for you. Is half a year enough?"”
The Minister of Works quickly stepped forward and said,"I will definitely arrange the best craftsmen for Your Highness. I will help Your Highness repair the road within half a year."”
At this moment.
Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said,"You don't have to wait that long. You can go and see it in seven days."”
"Seven days? How was this possible? The roads were meant for the army, so they couldn't let their guard down.”
As soon as he said this, the Minister of Works was stunned. That was repairing the road. What was seven days enough for?
Was this a joke?
It must be known that the road that Zhu Yuanzhang had ordered to be built was connected to the five battalions, which were the soldiers guarding the capital. Thus, the road needed to be repaired to make it easier for them to guard the capital.
Seven days was too short. Zhu Xiongying couldn't be thinking of fooling around, right?
Zhu Xiong Ying said,"You can go and take a look when the time comes. I don't dare to say anything else, but it will definitely be smoother than the Imperial Palace."”
"Your Highness, what you said…I'm afraid it's very difficult for craftsmen to do it.”
At this moment, the Minister of Works couldn't help but speak up.
The imperial path was paved with exquisite stones, smooth and solid.
Zhu Xiong Ying's words were too exaggerated. How was it possible to cultivate the Imperial Dao in seven days?
It didn't matter if Zhu Xiongying couldn't complete the mission, but the Ministry of Works would be implicated.
However, before Zhu Xiongying could say anything, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and said,
"What do you know? If our eldest grandson says he can fix it, he will definitely fix it!”
"But…"
"But what? Don't you trust our eldest grandson?”
"No, no…"
Seeing this, the Minister of Works quickly changed his words. However, he sighed in his heart. Zhu Yuanzhang's love for Zhu Xiongying was too much.
It had even reached the point where it ignored the basic rules.
How was it possible to cultivate the Imperial Dao in seven days?
The rest of the civil officials were even more ridiculous, but their expressions were a little playful.
Zhu Yuanzhang doted on Zhu Xiongying so much that he even executed the civil officials for him, treating them as trash.
They were already dissatisfied.
I wonder what expression Zhu Yuanzhang will have when the road construction fails this time? At that time, he would be able to recognize reality and know who was the one who could do things, right?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang took in everyone's expressions and sneered. A bunch of short-sighted people.
His eldest grandson was the reincarnation of an immortal. What was the path that others could not cultivate to his eldest grandson?
How could this bunch of ignorant people know how powerful their eldest grandson was?
"In seven days, all of you will listen to Xiong Ying's instructions and help repair the road.”
At this moment, Zhu Di stood up impatiently and said,"Reporting to Imperial Father, your son has some free time recently. I will also help Xiong Ying repair the road.”
As he said that, he intentionally glanced at Zhu Xiongying and nodded with a smile. However, he was a little excited.
Seven days to repair the road? Mortals naturally couldn't do it.
Since Zhu Xiong Ying dared to agree, he would definitely use some immortal methods. How could he miss such an opportunity?
"Oh? It's approved." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
This time, Zhu Rong was also anxious. He hurriedly said,"Imperial Father, your son is willing to go as well."
"Hehe, it's hard for the two of you to care so much about Xiong Ying.”Zhu Yuanzhang immediately agreed.
" Also…" He glanced at the collapsed Madam Lu and said,"
"Put this woman somewhere else. I don't want to see her in the future!”
As soon as she said this, Madam Lu could only hug her son tightly. Her face was pale, and she gritted her teeth, not daring to speak.
The palace servants beside him immediately helped him up and left the hall.
Zhu Xiongying had only agreed to stay for a moment.
At this moment, he had eaten enough, so he said a few more words to Empress Ma before bidding farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang and leaving.
Seeing Zhu Xiong Ying leave, Zhu Di and Zhu Xi didn't want to stay any longer. They quickly apologized and continued to escort Zhu Xiong Ying away.
After the main character left, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to lose interest. After instructing Zhu Biao to entertain the returning generals, he stood up and left.
At the same time.
On the way back, Zhu Di walked beside Zhu Xiongying's sedan and said eagerly,""Xiong Ying, I often have to build roads when I'm marching.”
"I have quite a few craftsmen there. I'll get them to report to you later.”
Zhu Rong was unwilling to fall behind and immediately said,"I have thousands of servants and guards. I'll let them work tomorrow.”
Zhu Di was unhappy." I say, Fifth Brother, I'm afraid that those thousands of people of yours are all the people in your residence. They're all sent to be workers. Don't you want to live in your residence?”
Zhu Rong immediately said," As long as I can help Xiong Ying fix the road, I'm nothing. Let alone servants, I'll even let my wife serve tea and food!"”
